052 Decision-makers
"The Shina Navy! I didn't expect the people of China to have a submarine. ”
Despite the scorching heat of the South China Sea, Bighorn Cen Sheng still felt a chill on his spine, and a drop of cold sweat on his forehead ran down his cheeks, and he realized that he was a little out of shape.
As the commander of a fleet, the more calm he should be at this time, after thinking for a while, he decided that the other party was just a show of force, and there was no real threat, not to mention that the fleets under his command were not idle.
"Your Excellency, as long as we speed up, we can easily get rid of these submarines and quickly get out of their range of operations."
A staff officer with the rank of junior officer stepped forward and suggested that the middle and lower-ranking officers in the Japanese army had a strong sense of responsibility, and this naval officer was less fanatical and more rational than his counterparts in the army, but after all, such people were only a minority.
"Yaga! Do you want to let the Imperial Navy run away in front of the Shina Navy? Could it be that the Imperial Navy was scared away like this? ”
Dajiao Cen Sheng was furious, and the surrounding officers also shouted and scolded him, and the frightened Shao Zuo didn't dare to speak, so he had to retreat stupidly.
Although Shao Zuo's words just now angered Okaku Cen Sheng, he quickly regained his composure, he expected that these submarines would not dare to attack them, and in that case, they would show the full grandeur of the Imperial Navy.
"Ask which country's navy they are? Why such an unfriendly move towards our fleet? ”
Soon after the order was transmitted, the fleet called the submarine via radio and, when no one responded, explained the above problem in flag.
Soon, the submarine responded, this time not through the flag, but through the radio station.
"We are the Chinese Navy, and we are on a cruising mission here. Which country's warship are you? ”
A strong baritone voice came from the radio station, and the people on the side of the Japanese warship could understand Chinese, and he conveyed these things to Okaku Cen Sheng.
After hearing this, he smiled slightly and said, "Tell them that there are no submarines in the China Navy, are they pretending to be pirates?" Tell them who they really are, or the Imperial Navy will wipe them out. ”
Soon, the person in charge of the liaison spoke these provocative words in Japanese, and the other party obviously understood, but they did not get angry, but responded politely in Chinese.
"I would like to state two points, first of all, China does not need to inform you about its naval construction, and if you are interested, we invite you to visit our country to see the new navy that China is building. Secondly, I suspect that you are not the Japanese fleet, but pirates impersonated, because I see that the sailors on the ship are tall and burly, not like Japanese? If you do not identify yourself, we reserve the right to take further action. ”
Although Dajiao Cen Sheng did not understand Chinese, he heard a little mockery from the other party's tone, and he asked the translator what the other party meant, and the translator hesitated for a moment, but still translated all the words to him unchanged.
After hearing these words, the big horn Cen Sheng, who had thought that he would be angry, calmed down a lot, and if the person sitting in his position was as irrational as the lower-level officers, he didn't have to do it.
Since the other party said this, he must have been prepared, because of the small loss of big things, he naturally will not do it, after thinking for a while, he looked at the submarine that had been left behind, and signaled the fleet to speed up.
After a war of words between the two sides, the distance between the submarine and the Japanese fleet gradually widened, and when it was already a nautical mile away from the last battleship, a young officer with an inch head in the submarine removed his head from the periscope, he waved his hand to convey the order to the people behind him, and after a while, the three submarines quickly dived, and the Japanese fleet also accelerated and headed towards the port on the Taiwan side.
"Sir, are you going back like this? Looking at the arrogance of Little Japan, I really want to kill them a few of them. A young man in a boat-shaped hat grumbled at the chief.
The chief pretended to be serious and said, "You kid, you want to fight Little Japan before you have grown up?" Learn more, and you will have a chance to beat them in the future. Well, hurry up and send electricity to the 'home', just say that we have completed the HNA test and are now ready to return. ”
When the three Chinese submarines began to return home, the Japanese escort fleet also began its journey to the port of Taiwan. The storm had not been predicted, and the typhoon made a bend in their place and ran in the direction of the Pacific Ocean, when the sea was calm, the blue sky and the sea were connected, and the air was filled with the warmth of the sun.
Although he had avoided the storm, Okari Cen Sheng's mood was not better at all, he could not imagine that the China Navy had built a force of submarines capable of ocean voyages, and the most infuriating thing was that he did not even know about it.
"Yaga! What exactly does the intelligence service do? If war breaks out, these people will have to apologize. Dajiao Cen Sheng was thinking in his head, and after secretly scolding those people from the intelligence department in his heart, he began to have new considerations.
Okaku Cen Sheng thought to himself that since the Chinese navy was able to build up a submarine force in a short period of time, it was very likely that they had already built other naval vessels, and if they were allowed to develop, the empire's position in Asia would be in jeopardy.
Thinking of this, Dajiao Cen Sheng felt a little afraid. He is not a blind and arrogant person, and the reason why he did not pay attention to this information before is because he feels that the Shina Navy cannot be called an opponent at all, and their equipment is too backward, even inferior to the water police in Tokyo. Their real targets were the British in Southeast Asia and the Americans on the other side of the ocean, their navies were very strong, and only by completely defeating them would the empire's navy have a bright future.
But now that the Shina Navy has popped up, how can it not upset him?
To be honest, Otkaku Cen Sheng is not a megalomaniacal person, he is very concerned about countries that may be adversaries, and China is also one of the places where he pays attention. From the previous Northern Expedition, to the later Jinan Incident, to the establishment of the Nanjing Nationalist Government not long ago and some domestic civil wars, Dajiao Cen Sheng has specifically learned about it, but he never imagined that this country would quietly engage in naval construction.
In the eyes of Bighorn Cen Sheng, the Chinese navy after the Sino-Japanese War no longer existed, and the idea of decisive naval warfare in Europe still had some residues in his mind, so he thought that if there was a war with China, the navy would not even need to be dispatched.
But now it is a blow to him, Dajiao Cen Sheng realized that if he doesn't hurry up, I'm afraid he will lose more, thinking of this, Dajiao Cen Sheng felt a shock to the tiger's body, and he called the herald and said: "Notify the whole ship, return at full speed!" Contact the Taiwan side and ask them to prepare the plane, and I will take the plane back to Tokyo first. ”
"Your Excellency, what are you?"
"I want to apply to see His Majesty the Emperor."
When Dajiao Cen Sheng made this decision, Huang Ke and the others also held a military meeting. Huang Ke exposed to General Chen Shaokuan about the construction of the Guangzhou Navy and gave him the newly formed submarine unit, which included not only many advanced German U-boats, but also hundreds of professional officers who had returned from studying in Germany.
Chen Shaokuan naturally has his usefulness for these people, and now that manpower is tight, he is preparing to establish a submarine training school in Zhanjiang, Guangzhou, to specially select and train outstanding naval soldiers, and strive to build a strong navy.
This is a generous gift, for the Chinese Navy these are both seeds and flames, Chen Shaokuan's naval thinking is far more than these, what he wants to do is to build an ocean-going navy dominated by aircraft carriers, and firmly defend the motherland's 10,000-mile sea frontier.
Xu Shaozhou's air force construction is also in full swing, and the Jianqiao Aviation School is now completely under the jurisdiction of the military, and the pilots in it have been awarded corresponding military ranks according to the length of time.
No matter who is in charge, Xu Shaozhou thinks that in order to win the war, it is necessary to have a strong air force, and these people are all fascinated by the "Air Supremacy" sent by Huang Ke, so they will not take the navy and army in their eyes at all.
As the commander of the army, Jiang Zhongzheng naturally did not reassure the two younger brothers of the navy and air force, and he now has an army of more than one million under his command, including a large number of mechanized troops, which makes him full of confidence. However, he knew in his heart that most of the military power was in the hands of Huang Ke, and although he was the commander of the Military Staff, Huang Ke's actual power was even greater than Jiang Xianyun.
Although Jiang Xianyun is a general promoted by Huang Ke, he still has a lot of complaints about Huang Ke's obstruction, he is a little reluctant but it is difficult to say, after all, politics is different from other things, it must be strength to speak, but Jiang Xianyun doesn't understand, is he still a member of the old Xiguan faction?
At the end of the meeting, everyone packed up and left the headquarters conference room in a small chat, and after Huang Ke and Chen Shaokuan said hello, they walked quickly to catch up with Jiang Xianyun.
"After a long time in Nanjing, I heard that the snacks here are not bad, do you have a chance to try them?" Huang Ke joked.
Jiang Xianyun is usually very busy, so naturally he has not eaten any snacks, and when he heard Huang Ke's proposal, he also smiled and said: "Since Commander Huang is so elegant, I think it is better to change into civilian clothes and go out for a walk, and also taste Nanjing's special snacks." ”
"Without further ado, let's go now." After Huang Ke finished speaking, he pulled Jiang Xianyun forward.
