Chapter XXVI The Chinese Navy

Look at the current world of the world, except for the British Empire's fleet, which can influence the political and military situation there wherever it goes, even if they are a little powerless in Asia, the British just sent two battleships to Malaysia, and little Japan immediately became honest and obediently agreed to let East Timor be autonomous, which other country can do this?

The German navy is now trying to challenge Britain's supremacy, and Japan is trying to challenge Britain's position in Asia, but your fleet is at best a deployed navy. It can pose a certain threat to the British Navy in a certain area, but when it comes to fighting for sea supremacy, you are far behind. Let you drive two ships from Germany, do you have a place to call in Asia? Even if you stop in Qingdao, will Little Japan buy your account?

It's not that if you can build a ship, you can build a navy.

For example, in the 80s, when China had just reformed and opened up, the United States had a good relationship with China. Japan was also good with China at that time, saying that if you can't afford it, I'll build it for you, cheaper, it's really not like a country as big as you doesn't have an aircraft carrier, China still doesn't build it.

In the 21 st century, before China's aircraft carriers were launched, Britain and Japan became panicked and tried their best to make trouble with China.

For what? Japan is still the same Japan, the United States is still the same America, but China is no longer the China of the 80s. The Indians have long had aircraft carriers, why have no one bothered them all the time?

There are many countries in this world that have sufficient technical and economic conditions to build fleets. But if your navy can't defend your ocean-going interests, then your fleet is just an ornament.

For example, the Netherlands now.

Also, if you build such a huge fleet but have no overseas colonies to protect and no overseas interests to maintain, this is even more of a failure, such as India later.

Why didn't China build aircraft carriers in the eighties? Get a few submarines to barely survive, and fishermen go to sea to issue weapons and equipment, is this because China can't afford to buy boats? That's not true. In the nineties, China did not build aircraft carriers when it had a little money, and there were few warships, but it only bought a few law enforcement ships.

At that time, there were not many disputes in China's maritime borders, and it was a standard foolish behavior to build a few aircraft carriers at home and decorate them at home, and to spend a lot of money on repairs every year.

Yang Xiaolin is now facing the situation that everything in China has just started, the government has a lot of imperfections, and their team is a new driver driving a new car on a new highway, so there is nothing wrong with the development of the navy being a little slower in Yang Xiaolin's view.

After reaching a cooperation agreement with the British, the construction of the training base in Nansha has begun. A group of British technicians will also arrive at the Fuzhou shipyard in January next year, and China already has the technical capability to build a fleet.

Yang Xiaolin is now thinking about how to build a navy so that his navy can serve the rise of the country, rather than fighting a war with Japan, as the British hoped. If China's navy is only for a fight with Japan, then there is no need to build it.

If you become a big thing, you can't get up without enthusiasm, but if you don't have reason. But it definitely can't be finished. Those suggestions are correct, the rise of great powers cannot be separated from the sea, but they only see the success of Britain, but they do not know how many countries have sent their substandard navies to the bottom of the sea after World War I and World War II.

Building China's navy must not be aimed at a war with Japan. However, Japan is an important factor in the development of China's navy that cannot be ignored.

Japan is our fateful adversary.

Even if history and later hatred are stripped away, Japan's strategic position still determines that it is definitely a potentially huge threat in the development of our navy. Just as Japan will feel uncomfortable if we develop its navy, to use our old Chinese saying. One mountain does not tolerate two tigers.

However, the wariness of Japan is only what we should pay attention to in the early stage, and the resources and strength of the two countries are placed here, even after Japan gets Indonesia. They can't compare their resources with China.

So little Japan's policy towards the Chinese navy is that as soon as you reach a certain size, Japan will immediately start a war. They know very well that with the support of China's huge economic resources, as long as the Chinese navy is raised, it will become inevitable to surpass and suppress Japan in an all-round way.

At that time, I am afraid that Japan will be sad in front of China, and maybe China will not let them pay back just the account of the First Sino-Japanese War.

In addition to Japan, the United Kingdom must also be considered. It can only be said that this is a reality, and no one can value the British Empire without paying attention. For a long period of time before, now, and in the future, the essence of Yang Xiaolin's desire to build a navy in the true sense of the word was to build a maritime force that could compete with the British Empire in all fields of the world.

If you want to challenge others, you must face up to the strength of others, and when China has not developed, when our navy is still waiting to be fed, how to avoid fighting with Britain and the British navy in the form of war is a topic that destroys one's own prestige but is very rational.

At this stage, of course, there is no need to think about it, when China overtakes Japan, it may immediately face the United Kingdom. Therefore, this time must be grasped well, and in Yang Xiaolin's opinion, the most appropriate time is to firmly suppress Japan, and the first war will start immediately, and Britain will have no time to look east.

If the First World War could have been fought for a few more years, if the Germans had inflicted more trauma on the British, they would have had more chances. Therefore, Yang Xiaolin's series of actions against Russia on land will definitely not stop, even if the British really find out that there is a shadow of China behind this, he will continue, he must dismember the polar bear before World War I, so that Germany has no worries!

This is the strategy of naval development, and the tactics of Chinese naval development are to adopt another Japanese phrase that will become popular in China in the future: "Quietly enter the village, and do not shoot on the ground." ”

With an idea, the specific operation comes according to this idea. So far, the Chinese side has built its own permanent supply depots at sea on seven selected islands and reefs in the Spratly and Xisha Islands, but the Chinese ships are still the old-fashioned ones of the Nanyang Naval Division.

After Yang Xiaolin provided Nicholas II with armored vehicles and tanks, the French were obviously much more generous, and said to China that I just had two heavy cruisers that had just been launched, and you China has no competent guys now, so I will send them to you, and help you Chinese Navy support the façade, of course, this money will be cheaper for you. It should be offset by the money you sold to the Russian arms.

The combat effectiveness of heavy cruisers is not much that of battleships, like the German heavy cruisers, your average battleship can't handle it.

This news really made those admirals very excited, but they didn't expect Yang Xiaolin to refuse this suggestion, Yang Xiaolin said that he didn't have so many naval soldiers now, and no one drove the ship himself.

The British immediately said, it's okay, I'll send an instructor to teach you, Bao Jiao Bao Hui. Besides, there are more than 10,000 people in your navy now, which is enough. Absolutely.

Yang Xiaolin still did not agree, although there are more than 10,000 people in the navy, but most of them participated in the last coup d'état in Beijing, Yang Xiaolin said, these people must not stay in the navy, and a considerable number of them must be assigned to the localities.

These words really made the sailors feel very emotional, but in fact, they began to worry about their fate when the incident in Beijing was over. When those Beiyang and Shanxi army generals left the army, and when those Beiyang soldiers and Shanxi soldiers took off their uniforms, they also realized that they might have this day.

It's just that Yang Xiaolin has not moved the navy. It gives them a sense of hope.

Today's China is really different from before, being a soldier was something that people looked down on in the past, and the saying that a good man should not be a soldier was said from the end of the Qing Dynasty.

However, the victory in the Great Patriotic War gave the soldiers their place in society, and the salaries of the soldiers who remained in the army after the disarmament suddenly doubled. There is no pressure to support your family. And the most important point is that during this period of time, there has been a noticeable change in the school, they have begun to advocate force, and they have begun to like military uniforms. They consider the servicemen to be heroes.

In the adoring eyes of the children, the soldiers could feel that this uniform was worn by real men! Therefore, the soldiers of the Navy really hope that they can have a different ending, and maybe they will escape this catastrophe because of their identity as a navy. After all, China now lacks a navy.

But they didn't hide after all, and the day came.

Luo Naijun had already packed up his salute, and as a sign with Wu Peifu, his name was on the list of the first batch of admirals who were dismissed to the local area.

I was really a little reluctant in my heart, sitting in the single room of my dormitory, looking at the neat stacks of beds on the bed, and then looking at the two sets of military uniforms placed on the boxy quilt, Luo Naijun really felt like crying.

This world is too fucking tricksters, he didn't think about being a navy before, but he got on the Hai'an ship in a daze, stayed on the Hai'an ship for three years, and had feelings, but caught up with the hellish Wuchang uprising. The ship is gone, the brothers are scattered, and if everything is over at that time, he will forget it.

But later, the Great Patriotic War broke out, and he came to the army again and was selected to serve in the navy.

This time it was even more enjoyable, and it didn't even have its own boat, and it was all over. Many people say that Luo Naijun is very lucky, just because he led the troops to attack the current Minister of Railways, Mr. Sun Wen, and the current general of the Republic, General Wu Zhaolin, commander of the Southern Military Region, it would be good not to kill him.

Think about it, this fucking world is satisfied if it survives, how many brothers have died by their side, Wu Zhaolin didn't pursue himself, and the current government also said that he would arrange a new job for himself, at least have something to eat, and be content.

Luo Naijun feels that he does not have to wait for the government to arrange a job for him in the future, and there are many opportunities in China now. I originally wanted to leave yesterday, but then I thought about it, let's wait and see how those people arrange themselves, and I heard that if you don't want to listen to the government's arrangement, you can get a lot of severance pay.

Luo Naijun is now very dissatisfied with Yang Xiaolin. First of all, he is very dissatisfied with the treatment of these people, we are just soldiers, we just follow orders, let all of us leave the army, it is really a bit excessive. Also, he was just as dissatisfied with Commander Yang's contempt for the navy. So he decided not to save this money for Yang Xiaolin, but to take as much as he wanted. (To be continued......)
