Shang Tai has always been obedient to Lin Yuan's words, and soon entrusted the ambassador in Beijing to report the news to the three major Western news agencies in Beijing, and then Lin Yuan instructed Shen Wanqing to pay attention to the reactions of Western countries at any time.

In the conference room of the Beijing ship, Han Mingguang and others sat together, as well as experts on the Beijing ship, and to everyone's surprise, almost all the experts, regardless of professional category, were invited.

When Lin Yuan saw that everyone was coming, he said straight to the point: "Many comrades have asked me, when I captured Lushun, why didn't I directly sink the Japanese warships, but used the Beijing ships to divert them; When the Japanese army retreated from the mouth of the Liaohe River, many comrades thought that I would let the carrier-based aircraft sink the Japanese ships, and I did not give that order. ”

This is a question that everyone has always been concerned about, and they all want to ask, so everyone looked at Lin Yuan intently, Lin Yuan said: "We all know that if there is no crossing of our country, Japan will win the Sino-Japanese War, and then will compete with Russia for the interests of Northeast China, in 1904 the Russo-Japanese War broke out, in this war, the Japanese fleet in the Tsushima Strait, defeated the Russian Baltic Fleet from afar, this naval battle, for the history of military technology in the world has a profound impact. ”

"This naval battle is a naval battle dominated by artillery, all the results are achieved by artillery, before that, the Western world has always been based on the Battle of Lisa in 1866 as a reference, the Battle of Tsushima, the direction of everyone's thinking has become a large ship and a giant cannon, that is to say, if you want to win the naval battle, you must rely on large-caliber artillery, and if you want to install large-caliber artillery, you must increase the hull!" "I don't know if you have noticed that due to our crossing, this process has been interrupted, and the military technology of various countries in the world has begun to develop in a direction that is unfamiliar to us, take the example we have just seen, the Japanese army has begun to use new fortifications, began to use gas-hydraulic anti-recoil system artillery, and the most important thing is: they began to use airships, which shows that they are gradually attaching importance to the development of the air force."

"In this era, is it possible for Western countries to build airplanes? The answer is yes, Russia's Zhukovsky has deduced the formula of lift, the Germans have developed the internal combustion engine, as for the propeller for propulsion, the comrades in the marine engineering department and the comrades of the ship's propulsion system are clear that the propeller used in the ship and the propeller used in the aircraft have the same thing, and in the modern design, the parent shape of the airfoil profile of the two is basically the same, but it is only slightly changed when it is used. ”

"In the original era, airplanes appeared in 1903, but why didn't they get used on a large scale until World War II? For example, when mankind first had a carrier-based aircraft, the military top brass agreed to the experiment, but the initiator had to make up the funds for the experiment himself, and the initiator had to find the aircraft himself; Even in the Battle of Jutland in World War I, the British originally prepared a warship with aircraft to fight, but on the eve of the battle, before the fleet left the port, the commander of the warship was not notified! ”

"And with our appearance, it is entirely possible to break down this prejudice and barrier, and it will be possible for aircraft to enter the war stage on a large scale half a century ahead of schedule, and some comrades may not think so, thinking that our fighters are supersonic, have over-the-horizon radars, have ultra-long-range missiles that hunt and kill enemy early warning planes, have medium-range missiles that do not care after launching, and close-range combat missiles with maneuverable overloads of up to 50 percent, and are not a piece of cake to deal with propeller-propelled planes that have to die even if they fly to 0.8 times the speed of sound?"

"Comrades with such ideas must not understand the aircraft, and the most fundamental cornerstone of fighter design is: the purpose of design! It is designed to do what it is for, who is the main opponent, our fighter jet, designed to compete for air superiority with the most powerful countries in the world, our opponent is the F-22, Tu-50 and other fourth-generation fighters, when we face hundreds, thousands, wood-winged aircraft, we will find that our fighters are powerless! ”

"We can shoot down the enemy ten, a hundred, and after that? Our ammunition cannot be replenished, we run out of fuel, the number of engine hours reaches the limit, at that time, we will suffer a catastrophe, now China, the industrial base is too poor, we have to start from scratch, when we can manufacture aircraft in large quantities, it's hard to say! Because the aviation industry is based on other industries, without those industries, the aviation industry is a castle in the air that cannot be built! ”

Lin Yuan stopped, looked at everyone, and asked, "Do you understand?" Seeing that everyone nodded, Lin Yuancai continued: "What I want to do is to draw the attention of Westerners back to the big ships and huge guns through a naval battle, so as to slow down the development of the enemy's aircraft, and we, in secret, make great strides to develop the aviation industry, so that we have established a long-term technological advantage!" And the warships of the Japanese are our perfect opportunity! Lin Yuan said again: "I've been thinking, how can we attract the attention of Westerners, the Japanese will definitely not tell all the news to Westerners, they will definitely cover up the things about aircraft and develop them secretly, so we want Westerners to pay attention to us, just when the Japanese attacked our merchant fleet, I asked the king of the Ryukyus to announce to the world that the Ryukyus will send a fleet to attack the Japanese fleet!" ”

"In the eyes of Westerners, Ryukyu is like an ant, they don't even know that Ryukyu has a navy, and Japan, compared to them, is like an elephant, and now, an ant announces to the entire animal kingdom that I'm going to punish the elephant who tramples on the ant, you say, what will the Westerner think? When the Ryukyu fleet cleanly cut down the Japanese fleet, the ants bit the elephant to death! Westerners will definitely take a closer look at this naval battle! When the time comes, if we induce it again, the Westerners will be on the road of big ships and huge guns, and there will be no return! ”

The people present understood what Lin Yuan meant, but in their minds, there were even bigger questions, what it was, vaguely and unclearly, Lin Yuan continued: "In this era, we are the group of people who stand outside the death row of the Technique, as long as the method is right, we can make the enemy willingly enter the cell, and by the time they think of coming out, they have already paid an extremely heavy price!" ”

Han Mingguang asked, "Deng Shichang is now leading the Ryukyu fleet, do you want to use them?" This is the problem, it makes your plan not work at all, that is: without our air help, their warships will not be able to win the current Japanese warships! Lin Yuan said with a smile: "Yes, we just want to use those few warships, and we don't need to use them all, only four are enough, and I have already figured out how to win the Japanese warships!" ”

Han Mingguang asked, "What is it?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "This is not in a hurry, I want to solve a more important problem first." ”
