Chen Feng's worries about the quality of the navy's officers and men are very necessary, they have just taken over the warship, and the performance of the navy officers and men is the same as Chen Feng expected, whether it is a large aircraft carrier or a small submarine, the officers and men of the navy cannot control it very well, let alone a battle, and returning to Port Moresby from the Coral Sea is a great test for them.

After bumps and bumps along the way, and after paying the price of 2 frigates hitting the reef and 2 submarines colliding, the Navy finally drove all the ships back to the naval base in Port Moresby.

To tell the truth, the performance of the officers and men of the navy along the way was really disappointing to Chen Feng, Chen Feng really doubted whether it was a wise choice for him to hand over these ships that he had spent nearly a million points to exchange, and whether the trap equipment that had exceeded this era for twenty years could exert its due combat effectiveness in their hands?

Intellectually, Chen Feng thought that he should believe in the officers and soldiers under his command, because these people were personally selected by him, and he should believe in them, which is one of the most basic conditions for an army to work together.

However, seeing that the officers and men of the navy had done such a bad job of even the most basic warships, it was really difficult for Chen Feng to have confidence in them. These advanced warships felt awkward in their hands, as if they had given computers to primitive people.

After returning to the system, the first thing Chen Feng did was to open the system, spend 300 points, and exchange 3 primary personal skills to the system, namely naval military strategy, military campaign science, and combat command.

Although it is only a beginner personal skill, the ability is not small. In particular, the two courses, "Naval Tactical Basics" and "Naval Techniques Fundamentals", are very useful, and they are really a relief for Chen Feng now.

After learning these three personal skills, Chen Feng planned to conduct a short-term personal training for these naval officers, at least to teach them how to operate the weapons and equipment on the ship and those electronic equipment, as for what kind of tactics to use, Chen Feng himself is only a junior commander, to be honest, he is really not qualified to know these people, as long as they learn how to control the warship, Chang Zhiguo and others are still very set.

With the sudden addition of more than a hundred large and small warships, the Port Moresby naval base suddenly became overcrowded and, above all, lacked a submarine base. In addition, those ammunition production lines also need to be built, installed and commissioned. So in the next few days. The mid-ranking naval officer led the rank-and-file soldiers to explore how to use the new warships according to the instructions, while Chang Zhiguo and other senior officers carefully discussed how to distribute all the warships and how to relieve the pressure on Port Moresby.

After three days of discussions, it was decided to build a large naval base in Port Arthur and Lae on Tasmania. Each of the three fleets was stationed in one port. In addition, the submarine forces were separately independent from the Navy. Become an extremely important strategic unit.

In addition, a very large military factory was to be built in the heavy industrial area north of Port Moresby for the production of weapons and ammunition for the Navy, and the Naval Academy was also built on this site.

With the approval of the program. All the population of the entire Nanyang Territory moved, and a large number of young and middle-aged people were gathered, some of them were directly conscripted into the army and became a member of the Chinese Navy, and some were sent to the port to build a naval base and other supporting facilities.

June 1, 1941 was a memorable day for Nanyang and the entire Chinese Navy, on this day, Chen Shaokuan led more than a dozen bullet-riddled ships to finally arrive in Port Moresby, with more than 3,000 naval officers and sailors.

At noon that day, all the senior officers of the navy were invited to a banquet at the Lord's Palace, on the one hand, to wash the dust for Chen Shaokuan and others, and on the other hand, to let the naval officers of the Nationalist Government and the naval officers under his command get acquainted with each other.

Although the purpose of some naval officers of the Nationalist Government to go south to Nanyang Territory was not pure, no one dared to show their feet on such occasions, so the effect of this banquet was very good, and it can be said that the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

In the evening, Chen Feng invited Chen Shaokuan to the Lord's Mansion to talk and discuss matters related to the Chinese Navy!

Lord's Palace. Den.

Chen Feng and Chen Shaokuan sat down across a small round coffee table, the two looked at each other and couldn't help but smile, Chen Feng said: "Brother Houfu can come, brother, I am very grateful, although the little brother said this more than ten times at the banquet just now, but here the little brother still has to say thank you!" ”

"Brother solemn, Tianjin has been farewell for more than 3 years, my brother's anti-Japanese resistance in recent years has been obvious to all the people, creating a miracle in China's military history, it can be said that Du Kang of the First Army in the north of the country invaded half of the Japanese army, this is the luck of the country, the luck of the nation, since the strict brother is urgently called, how can I not come!" Chen Shaokuan said with a smile.

"Brother Houfu praised it falsely, brother, I dare not be ashamed, if it were not forced by the situation, brother, how could I be willing to do this business of being a soldier and eating food. If it weren't for the Japanese coming, the tall guy would not be at peace, brother, I would really like to be a lawless gentleman, go to the street to walk around and catch chickens, and then occasionally flirt with the little girl and daughter-in-law, such a day is a human life, to be honest, the most difficult thing in this world is this hero. If the word "nation" is added in front of the hero, it will be even more stressful. Chen Feng said with a wry smile.

"Brother solemn, I believe it, brother, I still know a little bit about your old Chen family's family background, the largest grain merchant and fur merchant in the four northern provinces, with millions of family assets, and a small grassland on the grassland. I've heard of the romantic things your brother did before, and I heard that the third lady of your family was snatched home by you! Chen Shaokuan said with a smile.

"Hehe, it's true, so it's not easy to be a national hero, and I don't want to be a brother. Now, my biggest dream is to drive the little devils out of China and then fight back to their hometown! Chen Feng smiled.

"Brother Solemn is so courageous, driving the little devils out of China will definitely be achieved, but it is a little difficult to fight back to their hometown!" Chen Shaokuan said with a smile.

"It's precisely because of the difficulty that I invited Brother Houfu here!" Chen Feng said with a smile.

Chen Shaokuan smiled bitterly: "Brother Su Yan looks up to me Chen too much, you are an army general, and you don't know much about the navy of the little devil." Is the Japanese Army strong, the answer is yes, very strong. In 918, the little devils only dispatched one division and less than 20,000 people, and quickly took the four eastern provinces, defeating hundreds of thousands of Northeast Army. ”

"After the outbreak of the Lugou Bridge Incident, the little devil only touched less than 200,000 troops, but he was stunned to capture most of North China and most of Central China, Beiping, Shanghai These big cities have fallen one after another, and even our capital has been lost, 2 million countries. In front of the Japanese Army, the army was like a pile of sand, panicked like a lost dog. The defeat of the Songhu Meeting, the defeat of the Datong Society, the defeat of the Taiyuan Meeting, the defeat of the Xuzhou Meeting, and the defeat of the Battle of Wuhan are also defeated, this series of battles can not only show that the Chinese/army is still bloody, but also indirectly prove the strength of the Japanese Army! ”

Chen Shaokuan's voice changed and he said: "The Japanese army is undoubtedly powerful, but the most powerful thing in Japan is not their army, but the navy. In terms of combat effectiveness, Japan's army ranks at most about 10 in the world, and at least the armies of Germany, the Soviet Union, and Britain and France are much stronger than the Japanese army. But if you want to say that the Japanese Navy is amazing, its combat effectiveness ranks at least in the top three in the world, and it is also the third in the real world! With such a powerful Japanese navy, I'm afraid that I, Chen Shaokuan, alone will not be able to play much role! ”

"The Japanese Navy ranks third in the world, so which are the first and second countries, and how many can the navy of the Nationalist Government rank?" Chen Feng asked.

Chen Shaokuan replied: "The first place is the British Royal Navy, although the British expert navy's carrier-based aviation is lacking, and it still uses old-fashioned biplanes, but it is undeniable that the huge number and quality of other surface ships, especially the leading radar technology, has given the British Navy a considerable innate advantage, coupled with the British Navy's inherent strong style and combat experience over the past three hundred years, it also has such excellent leaders and military theory practitioners as Pound, Mountbatten, and Cunningham. There is no doubt that the Royal Navy ranks first. ”

"The second place is the U.S. Navy, which currently has a large number of aircraft carriers and battleships, although we do not know the exact number, but the strength of the Pacific Fleet alone is not inferior to the Japanese Navy. Although it is slightly immature compared to the old British Navy, this will not affect the US Navy's world ranking in the slightest! ”

"As for our navy, let's not talk about it, now we only have a few scarred ships left under my leadership, and they can't even arouse the interest of the Japanese navy in encirclement and suppression. But if our navy had not been exhausted in the Battle of Jiangyin, by now, our navy would have ranked around 20, and in addition to Britain, the United States, Japan, France, the Soviet Union, Italy, Germany, Spain and other countries, at least Sweden, Brazil, Turkey, Chile, Greece, Australia, Canada, Belgium and other countries have naval strength above us. ”

Chen Feng has always known that the Chinese Navy is weak, but he does not have a specific concept of how weak it is. After listening to the words of Chen Shaokuan, the veteran admiral, Chen Feng realized that the Chinese Navy is really weak, and the ranking of the sixth in the world and the first in Asia in the Beiyang Naval Division of the Qing Dynasty can only be a comfort from self-hypnosis.
