All things are foreseen, and those who are not prepared are wasted. Some people believe that a warship with a full load of more than 30,000 tons is a huge deterrent in itself, and if it can be repaired, whether it is a battleship or converted into an aircraft carrier, it can contain the Japanese navy.

This kind of thinking is actually very safe, but after some careful consideration, Zuihou still decided to dismantle the Baden, the Baden's speed is too slow, the armor is too thick, converted into an aircraft carrier, there are too many places that need surgery, and the interior is also seriously damaged, even if it succeeds, the combat effectiveness is very worrying.

In terms of army building, Zhang Tinglan has a policy, that is, it is better to have a shortage than an abundance, and it is not terrible to have a gap on the battlefield, because it can be made up with other weapons. But once there is an unstable factor, it will be troublesome, and it can neither be ignored nor entrusted with important tasks, and it will become chicken ribs, and it is better not to do it.

In order to dismantle this behemoth loaded with more than 30,000 tons, the Huludao Shipyard mobilized a total of more than 700 people, who set up scaffolding outside the warship early, and the busy workers, like ants, prepared all kinds of tools.

Many reporters rushed to the shipyard wharf after hearing the news, and these reporters had never seen such a huge warship before, and the largest warships in China's history were Dingyuan and Zhenyuan, which were only 7,000 tons, and there was no comparison with a 30,000-ton behemoth.

These reporters couldn't help but take pictures of this big guy who was more than ten stories tall and witnessed the zuihou moment of the sea overlord, but around the slipway, they only saw Wu Yulin, who was directing the workers and getting ready. None of the other big names in the Feng army are gone, which can also be seen. Fengjun really doesn't value this warship very much.

A reporter also ran to Wu Yulin's side and asked a little puzzled: "Mr. Wu, for many years, China has had a sea without defense, and now there is such a big warship, if it is dismantled, it will be a pity!" ”

"Journalist friends, first of all, I understand your concern for national defense, but we simply have the ability to repair such a huge warship. Even if it hadn't been explored for twenty or thirty years, it wouldn't have been built, so we couldn't make the most of the value of the Baden as a warship. If the warship is dismantled, a lot of steel can be used to produce artillery, and it can be used to produce tanks and armored vehicles. It can be used to build railroad tracks, which is what we are for. ”

Wu Yulin said. He glanced at the Baden affectionately: "I believe that sooner or later." The Chinese can also build such mighty warships to surround our vast sea frontier. ”

After saying that, Wu Yulin didn't care about these reporters, and directly gave the order to dismantle, and all the workers took action, from the turret. Pieces of steel were cut off and then transported away by specialized personnel, and the majestic battleship of the Baden was completely disintegrated.

All the reporters sighed. But they were all helpless, and after watching it for a while, they all left. Of course, this is only what they saw, in a villa not far from the dock, Zhang Tinglan, Navy Commander Shen Honglie, and Air Force Vice Minister Feng Yong were all gathered in the villa.

Shen Honglie was full of emotion: "Dashuai, the Baden has been dismantled, I'm really worried that I won't be able to get the Mackensen, and then I will suffer." ”

Zhang Tinglan also said with a wry smile: "We have to take a gamble, but here I can make a guarantee, even if we can't get it back, our naval construction will not stop, and the development must be developed." I have asked the shipyards to prepare for this, and they will purchase a batch of machines from the West in the name of dismantling warships, and in fact these large machines are used to produce warships. Seckert had promised to provide us with some key equipment, but he had set two preconditions, the first was to use German Jishu personnel, and the second was that he was not allowed to build a 10,000-ton ship. ”

When Feng Yong heard this, he couldn't help but say: "This is a typical German who wants to eat and is afraid of being hot, and he is sneaky about everything, for fear of letting Britain and France know." ”

"Actually, it is not easy in Germany, and we should be considerate." Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "After all, they are a defeated country, so they don't dare to go too far, but to be honest, Germany has helped us a lot." Some time ago, the United States, Britain, France and other countries built a Fengman hydropower station for us, and these bastards really had a crooked mind, if it wasn't for the Germans secretly helping, we would have been calculated! ”

Shen Honglie hurriedly asked: "Dashuai, I heard that the planned Fengman Hydropower Station is the first in Asia, once completed, the abundant electricity can improve our industrial level by a large block, but there must be no problems?" ”

"The original design drawings of the United States and Britain did not reserve room for the upgrading of the hydropower station, and the design life of the dam was discounted in half, but fortunately the Germans discovered it and could correct it in time."

"These Westerners really don't have any good things, they are just crooked, I just hope that we will get the Mackensen back, and then change it into an aircraft carrier and gallop across the ocean, and their appearance must be very wonderful at that time."

While he was talking, Chang Yinhuai also rushed over, and as soon as he saw Zhang Tinglan, he said: "Dashuai, as expected, there are indeed many people who pay attention to the Baden, and they are confirming whether we are really dismantling the warship." ”

Zhang Tinglan sneered: "It's better for someone to pay attention, let's just let them be Jiang Gan who steals books, and shoot themselves in the foot!" ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Tinglan suddenly smiled and said: "I think we should set up a unit to release these false news, true and false, and confuse the other party." ”

Chang Yinhuai said with a smile: "Dashuai, now everyone is thinking about how to strictly guard against it and keep it secret, but I didn't expect you to come in front of everyone again, and you want to deceive, it's really too wise." I just don't know what this organization is called, and how to set it up? ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Tinglan suddenly remembered a famous unit in later generations, so he said with a smile: "Let's call it the Strategic Fooling Bureau, this is the internal name, and externally hang this unit under the lecture hall, called the National Defense Strategy Teaching and Research Center, mainly to spread national defense knowledge to the outside world and introduce the development trends of military jishu." ”

Chang Yinhuai couldn't help but stretch out his thumb and said with a smile: "Dashuai, are you going to arrange a group of experts, and then let them deliberately release some fake news, right?" ”

Zhang Tinglan hahadaxiao: "That's pretty much it, but it's not a release of fake news, but seven points of truth." Three points of leave, learn to mislead the other side and lead their intelligence officers to the wrong route. ”

"I understand, don't worry, Dashuai, I promise to handle this matter well."

Shen Honglie also admired this whimsical idea very much, and said with a smile: "Director Chang, this is the time to test the situation of the war, and we must make the great powers believe that we will buy warships." It's just going to be scrap steel. ”

In the words of a few people, a great organization was born, and from then on, China had an additional group of people who specialized in telling lies, and they had to turn lies into art. So that no one can tell the difference between the real and the fake.

Thanks to their efforts, the development strategy of the Feng army was successfully hidden. Fooled the Great Powers to the point of no return in the arms race. They have made great contributions to the country, but they are often saddled with the notoriety of nonsense.

Even Jiang Baili, who has always been rigorous, has to praise that the battle is the most powerful trump card of the Feng army. A three-inch tongue and a sharp mouth are better than 100,000 male soldiers.

Chang Yinhuai is also known for his efficiency, after receiving the task. We hurriedly gathered experts from all walks of life, including military scholars, masters of international relations, economists, and sociologists.

After everyone's election, the first director of the bureau fell to the naval commissioner Zhong Zhao, who served in the Beiyang Fleet, accompanied Deng Shichang and them to the United Kingdom to study the navy, has a solid academic foundation, and after returning to China, he put forward a lot of suggestions for the construction and development of the navy.

After the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle, Director Zhong was silent for a long time, and later was invited out by the Fengjun to lecture in the Northeast Martial Arts Hall, mainly responsible for the national strategy course. Director Zhong is academically profound, humorous and witty, and has been unanimously praised by everyone.

After Director Zhong took office, he faithfully fulfilled his mission, he first instructed a scholar to put forward a report on the development of the steel industry.

In the report, he detailed the amount of steel needed by the Fengjun army and the current shortage, and then predicted that as the post-war recovery accelerated, the demand for steel would surge and the price would rise, so he suggested that the Fengjun should develop the steel industry to fill the gap.

With a special investigation report as a basis, the army also actually threw out the expansion of the armored corps, and the Ministry of Infrastructure announced the development of the railway.

All of this requires a lot of steel, and after these foreshadowings, Director Zhong personally wrote an article proposing to purchase more scrapped warships. Moreover, Director Zhong also accepted interviews with many reporters, and he said very lightly and humorously: "This is like a person eating four steamed buns and being full." As a result, there are only three in hand, so what to do, it's very simple, just go buy one. There are always some people who think that the steamed bun they bought back will not eat it themselves, but will be used as a brick to smash people, isn't this unfounded! ”

Director Zhong said while comparing it to reporters: "We have never even seen such an old warship, how can we build it, the Japanese have just learned to design and build warships by themselves since the Meiji Restoration, and it took a total of 40 years, why did the Chinese climb to the sky in one step, that is also too simple to see the sea hegemon." ”

Director Zuihou Zhong said meaningfully: "The development of military strength is a very haode idea, as a veteran soldier, I raise my hands in favor, but the development of military strength must be done in a reliable way, not whimsical." ”

"Professor Zhong, what do you think Fengjun's marine development strategy is?"

In the face of questions from foreign reporters, Director Zhong waved his hand: "Don't talk about maritime strategy, let me tell you that the failure of Beiyang Weishenme was because there was no maritime strategy, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty regarded the navy as an eagle dog to watch over the door, and as a result, after the Beiyang Naval Division was formed, there was no further expansion of warships." In fact, the navy is a heroic division that guards the interests of the sea, and it has to be killed outside, so how can it stay at home. Look at the Feng army, how can there be a maritime strategy for the warships that rushed out at all, in my lifetime, we can take a good look at the yellow water in front of us, it is a great blessing. ”

Director Zhong's profound and powerful flickering skills really had an amazing effect, and the Feng army got these warships just to covet a little cheap scrap steel. Not only Britain, but even Japan, which was most afraid of the army, relaxed its vigilance.

After seeing Director Zhong's introduction, some intelligence personnel also paid attention to him, and the National Defense Strategy Teaching and Research Center also entered everyone's attention for the first time. This is a research and propaganda organization that runs the military and academic departments, and they mainly disseminate the latest military developments to the three eastern provinces and even the whole country.

In the eyes of these intelligence officers, this is definitely the most Haode way to hunt for intelligence, so they all set their eyes on Zhong Zhao and his team, looking for all kinds of clues from their words, and then reporting them to the country.

The Great Powers also quickly discovered that many of Director Zhong's ideas were extremely forward-looking and far-sighted, so they had already regarded Zhong Zhao as another great think tank of Fengjun, and they always paid close attention to his remarks.

Zhang Tinglan set up a big drama here, but on the other hand, he asked the shipyard to step up preparations and purchase the equipment needed for the production of large warships. At the same time, Feng Yong also selected a group of the best pilots from the air force to secretly form a naval aviation unit to conduct various preparatory training. In addition, Ba Yuzao and Wang Zhu also received the task of setting up a carrier-based aircraft.

After the formal separation of the two design institutes, they were in competition, most of the fighters equipped by the Feng army were from their hands, and the carrier-based aircraft was also a big list, and Ba Yuzao and Wang Zhu couldn't help but care.

Just after all kinds of preparations were launched, He Zhuguo and Wu Keren led a capable Fengjun teaching group, armed with a large number of arms, and also rushed to Lanzhou.

"Looking forward to the stars and the moon, I finally hope for you, and my heart will be steady."

"Chief Feng, you are too polite, we have been ordered by the marshal to assist you in dealing with the Ma Jiajun, if you have any orders, just tell us."

Feng Yuxiang also smiled: "It's really refreshing, I prepared wine and food in the city, let's talk while eating." ”

He Zhuguo and Wu Keren followed Feng Yuxiang to the city, and the guests and hosts of the two sides sat down, Feng Yuxiang first said: "After I arrived in the northwest, I issued a gun ban order to confiscate weapons, but Ma Jiajun's resistance was very fierce, especially Ma Fuxiang, an old guy, who danced the most happily. ”

"Chief Feng, the marshal has already explained, the affairs of the northwest are all up to you, what's so great about a mere Ma Fuxiang, just kill it!"

Feng Yuxiang suddenly hahadaxiao: "I am relieved to have this sentence, in fact, I am not worried about Ma Fuxiang, but afraid of his cavalry." ”

"Dashuai brought us eighty heavy machine guns this time, how many Ma Jiajun can be broken!"

"Good!" Feng Yuxiang couldn't help but daxiao and said: "With Lan Shuai's support, no one is afraid, I will send Ma Fuxiang an ultimatum immediately!" (To be continued......)
