Chapter 266: Seeking Advice
It's cool to look at it without ads!
These warships were not all in one place beforehand, and many of them were scattered among the naval bases in the Pacific (before the outbreak of the Pacific War, the Pacific islands occupied by the devils were not much less than those occupied by the United States, and they were basically stolen from Germany during the First World War). (Reading).520xs), just assembling it is not something that can be done in a day or two, plus it takes at least two or three days to drive from the mainland to Qingdao, which naturally adds up to longer. Therefore, just as Hu Weidong said, the air raid brigade did win valuable time for Qingdao's "Third Fleet of the Republic of China Navy", at least those first-class naval officers and men were able to rush to Qingdao before the Japanese fleet attacked and complete the most basic staffing of each ship
Due to the urgency of time, those naval officers and men could only choose the fastest airlift, so the number was limited, and the Red Party did not want to completely hand over the warships they had worked so hard to grab to the Kuomintang, so the total number of officers and soldiers on the ** side was only a few people, mainly the captains of the ships and those professional officers and Jishu soldiers who did not have the Red Party, but there was an exception, that is, Hu Weidong's old subordinates, the "East China Navy Commander" determined within the Red Party, and appointed by the Military Commission" Director of the Political Department of the Third Fleet of the Navy of the Republic of China "Ye Fei."
However, Ye Fei, who came to Qingdao with a heavy responsibility, is now full of sadness, "Old commander, where do I know how to do this navy?" If you don't tell the Central Committee, you might as well transfer me back to the Army, it's better to still work under you, even if it's just a brigade commander!" ”
Hu Weidong heard from Ye Fei's words that he was dissatisfied with a certain leader of the New Fourth Army, but he couldn't do anything about it. Although Wang Ming's loss of power caused the "Chief Xiang" to lose his backer, he was an old man, a pure working-class background, and there were almost no flaws in his private morality, as long as he did not make a big mistake, even Taizu had nothing to do with him, even if this person believed in Wang Ming's so-called "everything for the united front", which seriously restricted the development and growth of the New Fourth Army. Fortunately, in this time and space, the fifteenth army was born. The status of the New Fourth Army has been greatly reduced, and the losses caused by it have also been reduced a lot
Even with Hu Weidong's current status, this kind of problem is still rare. Therefore, he quickly turned the topic back to the navy and comforted Ye Fei, "You really don't know about the navy. But no one in the party understands it! You are at least young and studious, and now you can speak Japanese well, these are all advantages, if you don't do it, Commander of the Navy, will you let me do it? ”
Hu Weidong's understanding of the navy is definitely stronger than Ye Fei's, but with China's national strength, the navy will not be able to become strong for a long time, and if Hu Weidong, the commander-in-chief of the group army with hundreds of thousands of troops, is changed to the commander of the navy, it will be at least reduced by two levels. Therefore, as soon as Ye Fei heard Hu Weidong's words, he hurriedly said, "Then I'll do it." It's just an old army commander, aren't you afraid that I can't do it? To be honest, I don't have much confidence in myself, but you have so much faith in me? ”
"You are the second naval commander of New China in history, and you are doing a good job. Of course I have confidence in you", Hu Weidong thought, but he could only say, "There is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid of people who have a heart, with your intelligence and studiousness." I think I should soon be able to become a qualified naval commander. ”
Ye Fei thought of the large number of generals that Hu Weidong had discovered over the years, and he had some confidence in his heart, but he still had the cheekiness to ask for advice, "Please also ask the old army commander for advice." ”
"Talk less and listen more, especially when it comes to jishu, don't pretend to know how to command; Do less and learn more, before you fully understand the navy, so as not to make mistakes one after another as soon as you take office, which will affect your prestige in the navy; Relying on the lower stratum and uniting the upper strata, the former is heavier than the latter; The united front work is very important, as long as it is sincere to resist Japan, try to unite, the navy is mainly external, this is different from the army, even if the political views are different, as long as you can strive for neutrality, you can tolerate it", Hu Weidong thought for a while and replied, "In addition, although your Japanese is already good, it still needs to be further improved, after all, the Kuomintang navy has no experience in operating large warships, and now the Soviets are unwilling to help, so we can only use our brains on those Japanese naval prisoners." Well, if you have time, it's a good idea to learn English and German, so you can use it sooner or later. ”
"Huh? How many foreign languages do you need to learn? Ye Fei didn't feel that his head was big for a while
Hu Weidong said angrily, "I'm taking time to learn German, how busy you are can compare with me?" China's navy is too backward and weak, and it must learn from the naval power with an open mind, but even if it is a master and a disciple, it is often a hand, let alone a foreigner? Therefore, only by taking advantage of the strengths of other countries can our navy make up for its shortcomings and grow rapidly, and it is unrealistic to expect others to learn Chinese, so we can only learn foreign languages ourselves and then seek advice, and every time we know one more foreign language, we can have one more object to study, and the faster our navy will develop."
Although Hu Weidong really wants to find a foreign master for the navy, for the time being, the navy can only rely on itself for the time being. Although there are some commanders and jishu talents on the first side, but during the Republic of China, China's navy was not even comparable to the Beiyang Naval Division of the year, and almost no one had the experience of serving on a 10,000-ton giant ship, so the two giant ships of "Dingyuan" and "Zhiyuan" still had to appoint some captured Japanese naval prisoners of war as instructors, but most of these people are far from being as trustworthy as the officers and soldiers of the Japanese column. Therefore, Hu Weidong and Shen Honglie agreed that the navy could temporarily pull out to defend against the enemy, but in fact, it was the eight destroyers. Due to the urgency of time, the officers and men must familiarize themselves with these new Japanese destroyers as soon as possible and form combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time.
In addition, Hu Weidong also seized the time to continue to refit those ships, considering that we do not have the ability to build ships, and if one warship sinks, there will be one less, so the focus is still on enhancing survivability, and the first thing to do is to dismantle the four triple Type 90 610mm torpedo tubes on the "Zhiyuan" ship. The reason is very simple, the 240mm main gun on the "Zhiyuan" ship is theoretically enough to sink any type of warship after being equipped with a tail stabilized shelling armor-piercing projectile, so although it is powerful, it has a short range (although the range of oxygen torpedoes is very long, it is still not comparable to naval guns). ), and the hit rate is low (at the end of the nineteenth century, gyroscopes were used for torpedoes, so the accuracy of torpedoes is not low, but because the speed of torpedoes is much slower than that of shells and aircraft, and the track can be seen from a distance, ships can dodge by evading, so the actual hit rate is very average. The torpedo is not so necessary, but the torpedo tube is exposed, once attacked, the consequences are unimaginable Welcome to come, your support is my greatest motivation. )
