Chapter 437: Continue
The celebrations all over the country lasted for several days, especially in some big cities, everyone spontaneously organized Yangko team, gong and drum team, lion dance team, dragon dance team to perform on the street to celebrate, these days firecrackers do not know how much, the whole country is immersed in the lively atmosphere of the festival, schools all over the country, including primary schools, middle schools and universities have a day off, students in the school teachers organized a street parade to celebrate the defeat of the Chinese naval fleet to the Japanese United Fleet, with banners to congratulate the central government!
On the evening of August 8, Xiao Zhenlei made a radio speech to the whole country in Beijing, in which he said: "?????? For nearly a hundred years, we have endured the oppression and enslavement of foreign powers and other imperialists, our people have been exploited, our sovereignty has been violated, our land has been forcibly ceded, and a large amount of reparations have weighed down the people, and most of the money we have earned through hard work has been scraped by the Manchus and foreign powers, and now we no longer have to be oppressed and humiliated by the foreign powers, and we have abolished a series of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes. To ease the burden on the people, we only need to pay the due taxes for government expenditures and to maintain the size of the army, maintain the army, and develop the fighting strength of the army, recover all the sovereignty and leased land that had been lost in the Manchu era, and abolish an unequal treaty, and then we will recover the Liaodong Peninsula, Wandao Island, and the affiliated islands and the Korean Peninsula that were forcibly occupied by Japan.
We have the ability to do this, we have the ability to protect the safety of people's lives and property, to protect the land and sovereignty from being violated, and to do this, we also need the support of the people, every soldier and officer in the army of the new government comes from the people, government officials are also produced from the people, the government's financial revenue also comes from the people's taxes, our government is the people's government, the government and the people are one family.
In the coming work of the government, we still want to continue the war against Japan. Until Japan surrenders on its own initiative or we fight and Japanese imperialism surrenders.
In addition to foreign wars, the focus of the government's next work will be to strive to develop the economy, expand domestic demand, build infrastructure, and supervise the building of a clean government.
First of all, when it comes to economic development, we must encourage more people to do business, open factories, and run companies, so as to solve the problem of employment for the idle labor force. It is necessary to encourage peasants to go out of the fields and rural areas and work in factories and companies, encourage landlords to increase agricultural input and increase grain output, and the government should support the science and technology industry. It is necessary to increase the production capacity of all parts of the country, to enrich the materials, and to solve the problem of food and clothing for the people within five years, so that they can no longer go hungry.
Second, to expand domestic demand, it is necessary to activate the investment market through active fiscal and monetary policies such as the issuance of treasury bonds, and the consumer market through economic levers such as credit, so as to stimulate economic growth.
Again. Infrastructure, we can increase the government's financial investment in the non-governmental sector, including transportation, post and telecommunications, water supply and power supply, commercial services, scientific research and technical services, landscaping, environmental protection, culture and education, public health and other municipal public works facilities, public life service facilities, rural cultural life facilities, water conservancy and irrigation facilities, and so on. The government's infrastructure construction is to clear the way for economic development, and the better the infrastructure construction, the faster and more stable the economic development.
In the process of economic development, because a large amount of capital investment is involved, it is inevitable that there will be greedy officials who try to embezzle all kinds of funds by chance, so it is necessary to exercise strict supervision. It is necessary to improve the regulatory system, and gradually change from managing people by people to managing people by systems ???????".
Xiao Zhenlei's speech has been reprinted by domestic and foreign media, which is equivalent to this government work report and the government's policy outline for the next few years. Since then, heads of government have followed his example and made such reports or speeches when they take office or during special periods, in order to gather public support and win support.
In the next few days, after a few days of rest, the Chinese Air Force was ordered to carry out large-scale bombing of important cities, ports, transportation hubs, and important military facilities related to Japan, and the main force of the naval fleet was also coordinated.
Presidential Villa.
After dinner, Xiao Zhenlei took his son Xiao Yuchen for a stroll in the garden, and several security guards followed not far away unhurriedly. After taking a turn in the garden, Wang Yanan came over and said, "Give me my son, Air Force Commander Ma Rulong is here!" ”
"Okay, don't stay outside for too long, there are a lot of mosquitoes!" Xiao Zhenlei handed Xiao Yuchen to Wang Yanan and said.
Wang Yanan took his son and said, "Got it!" ”
After entering the house, I saw Ma Rulong carrying a briefcase in the living room, Xiao Zhenlei made a gesture to ask Ma Rulong to go to the study with him, the two came to the study one after the other to sit down, and soon someone brought two cups of tea, and turned on the fan, and the study suddenly became cool.
After taking a few sips of tea, Ma Rulong put down the teacup and said: "President, the pilots of the Air Force have finished resting, and all the fighters have been maintained and overhauled, and they can fight again, please give the president's order!" ”
Xiao Zhenlei, who was drinking tea, put down his teacup when he heard this, and did not immediately agree, but asked: "What were the casualties of our side during the last air raid on the main Japanese fleet?" ”
Ma Rulong shook his head and smiled: "The casualties are very small, there are sixteen fighters who had to return because of mechanical problems during the flight, and did not participate in the air raid, and there are five planes that had problems during the flight, the pilot parachuted, and the plane crashed, two of them were rescued, three were missing, two planes crashed in Japan, and the other three crashed at sea, during the air raid, a small number of personnel on the Japanese Navy ships fired at the fighters with machine guns and rifles, and our fighters were shot down as a result, and the pilots were rescued, As for the pilots who disappeared in Japan, we have communicated with the Iron and Blood Investigation Bureau, asking them to go all out to investigate, and once we learn that they have been captured by Japan, we will ask them to go all out to rescue, we have contacted the navy, and have sent ships to the sea area where another fighter plane crashed, to search for the whereabouts of the missing pilot, and our air force has also sent planes to the wrecked sea area to look for it! ”
After listening to this, Xiao Zhenlei said: "Judging from these figures, our air force still has a big shortcoming, the failure rate is too high, it seems that the design of the aircraft, the production of parts, assembly and other production links in the quality of the need to be strengthened, and the level of ground crew needs to be further improved." In addition, the training is still insufficient, and there are certainly many psychological elements of the pilots that are not up to par, and the Japanese fleet can be said to have no anti-aircraft weapons, only single-shot rifles and machine guns. The machine guns were still dismantled from the ships to deal with the heavy machine guns used against the boats, and we still had three fighters shot down, but what was their idea? Or is the level of our pilots too poor? Therefore, in the future, the training of air force pilots will be strengthened, especially the training of aircraft technology and psychological elements! ”
Ma Rulong nodded and said, "Yes." Great President! ”
Xiao Zhenlei nodded, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and then continued: "Judging from the combat radius of our bombers now, a part of Japan's territory is not within the combat radius of our bombers, and this part of Japan's northern region is handed over to the naval fleet, and your air force is responsible for the bombing mission in the Japanese area within the combat radius of the bombers, focusing on bombing important military facilities, important towns, transportation hubs, etc.
Other than that. In the course of the last bombing, only the torpedo planes of the first wave of attack aircraft had actual combat experience in dropping torpedoes, and in the next bombing mission, you can send torpedo planes to attack the Japanese coastal ships and attack the remaining coastal defense fleet of the Japanese Navy. ”
Ma Rulong nodded and said, "Understood!" ”
"Did you make your bombing plan?"
"It's already done!"
To bomb a country, it is necessary to plan the bombing in advance, first of all, to bomb the most important cities, military installations, and transportation hubs. Then bomb the second-tier cities and make a plan to destroy the enemy's resistance in the most effective way.
Xiao Zhenlei lit a cigarette and took a few puffs and said, "Tell me about it!" ”
"Yes!" Ma Rulong said yes: "We plan to bomb the two major naval bases of Sasebo and Kure Port first, and the other Yokohama military base will be handed over to the navy to be responsible for ???????."
Sasebo Naval Base, Nagasaki, Japan.
The destruction of the main force of the Japanese naval fleet not only made the whole of Japan gloomy, but also made the sea in the harbor of the Sasebo Naval Base empty, and the main ships were captured by the Chinese naval fleet, and now there are only a few small sampans moored in the sea in the harbor of the Sasebo Naval Base, and more than a dozen other old battleships and cruisers have gone out to patrol.
The Japanese government has established a castle in Sasebo, which is the center of gravity of Japan's defense of the western seas, and the naval base is certainly under its jurisdiction. After the Meiji Restoration. In 1886, Japan enacted a naval ordinance that divided the national coastline into five towns: Muroran in Hokkaido, Yokosuka in Kanagawa Prefecture, Maizuru in Kyoto Prefecture, Kure in Hiroshima Prefecture, and Sasebo in Nagasaki Prefecture. The commander must be a lieutenant general or a general to be appointed. Inoue Yoshishin and Togo Heihachiro successively served as the commander of the Sasebo Town Guard.
Since the destruction of the main fleet of the navy, all the Japanese soldiers in the entire naval base have been like pulling off their backbones, and everyone is lifeless, and they all know very well what the destruction of the main force of the naval fleet means! Although there is still a coastal defense fleet, the naval fleet is made up of old warships. Some warships have been in service for more than 30 years, and this kind of warship can only run in the near sea, and it is basically impossible to carry out ocean-going operations, and these old warships are too far behind the new warships in terms of firepower, protective armor, and speed, and the Japanese Navy will be sluggish from then on, which is something that all Japanese officers and soldiers at the Sasebo Naval Base know.
Fujii Yosuichi is the current commander of the Sasebo Town Guard Mansion and the main person in charge of the Sasebo Naval Base, he is a classmate of Shimamura Suo, who is Shimamura Suo? He was the main staff officer of the Japanese Combined Fleet in the naval battle of the First Sino-Japanese War, and later the chief of staff of Heihachiro Togo, participating in the command and planning of the Russo-Japanese naval battle.
Fujii's heart was extremely irritable, he kept walking back and forth in the office in the port base, and the adjutant couldn't stand him shaking his eyes back and forth, and couldn't help but persuade: "Your Excellency, Commander, you can't do anything if you're in a hurry now, it's better to sit down and have a cup of tea, calm down and wait slowly!" ”
Fujii said anxiously, "How can you let me feel at ease?" It's been a few days, and the Ordnance Design Department hasn't come up with a defensive weapon against the aircraft, so what if the Chinese send planes over to bomb our naval base? What do we use to defend ourselves? Hey, in the development of the Air Force, the people of China have been in the forefront of the world, far behind us, even the European and American countries can not catch up, it is ridiculous that some people in our country still think that their navy is almost invincible in the world, but they did not expect that a bombing of the people of China will destroy our efforts for half a century, it seems that the world will only be afraid of the era of airplanes in the future! ”
It seems that there are also many smart people among the Japanese, and they quickly thought that a large-scale group of fighters not only poses a huge threat to the naval fleet, but also poses a huge threat to land facilities, and if the ships are sailing, they can still run, and the ground facilities are there, and they can't run away, and since they can't run away, they can only deploy defensive weapons, and the Japanese authorities have realized that in the near future, it is necessary to design and manufacture an anti-air defensive weapon, although it cannot completely prevent the large-scale bombing of the opponent's aircraft group. But it is also necessary to let the other side know that it is no longer so easy to carry out large-scale bombing, and it will also pay a heavy price for casualties.
And at this stage, how easy is it to hastily design an anti-aircraft weapon? Designing weapons is not as simple as eating, so although the Japanese authorities have put forward requirements for the ordnance design department, it is not so easy to accomplish.
At this time, the adjutant said: "Your Excellency, Commander, do you think we can modify the heavy machine gun to deal with the planes in the sky?" ”
"Heavy machine gun modification? How to modify? Fujii asked in surprise.
The adjutant explained: "Your Excellency Commander, you see, our current heavy machine guns are all supported by tripods for flat fire at the enemy, and it cannot lift the muzzle because the design of the tripod causes its up and down elevation angles to be too small, if we can redesign its tripod so that it can freely turn the muzzle in all directions, and can increase the elevation angle of shooting by 80 degrees, or even more than 90, then wouldn't it be possible to shoot planes in the sky?" ”
Fujii's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he patted the adjutant on the shoulder and laughed: "Okay, okay, this idea is very good, I think it is feasible, I will propose a ?????? to the ordnance design department."
"Woohoo, woowoo??????"
Before Fujii finished speaking, the alarm sounded outside, and the faces of the two changed, and they hurriedly ran out to look up, and a "dark cloud" flew in the dark sky in the distance, and they were really afraid of something. (To be continued.) )xh118R1052
