Chapter Ninety-Six: Japanese Welder
More than a thousand soldiers were escorted towards Baisha City by those barbarians with strips of cloth on their heads and three or eight big covers in their hands, and Sawada Shigeru put down his binoculars, and his face twitched. The contract clearly stated that as long as the Osaka Division or others could pay the full amount of the purchase money, these people would be free, but Sawada Shigechi said that these were just deceptive things, and with Ouyang Yun's hatred of the Japanese, even if they could come back, they would definitely be tortured to the point that they would not be human. And the only thing that is gratifying to him is that he has finally completed what Yamamoto Isoroku has assigned, and as long as Yamamoto is willing to open the net, then the rest of the Osaka division will be able to hold on for a while.
Kurai measured these devils, where were they taken?
Haikou. Their destination was actually the naval base in Haikou. Among this group of devils, like Kurai, there are at least more than 200 welders before joining the army, and these people will be the first batch of people among them to be "reused" by the student army. The devils of the Osaka Division are not good at fighting, but this does not prevent them from having national pride. Although their pride has long been consumed by the desire to survive because of this encounter, as long as Japan can maintain its military superiority over China, the seeds of this pride will remain in the hearts of these devils. Kurai has such a seed left in his heart, he has always thought that as long as he does not die, there will definitely be a day when he will see the light of day again and even raise his eyebrows - when the empire completely occupies China, we will become the masters of China, and at that time, I will double down on the humiliation I have suffered today! Thinking so, Aoi and his more than 200 fellow villagers were dragged to the Haikou base by nearly ten military trucks. Then, when they were driven off the military card and saw the rows of docks and ships under construction by the sea, the seeds of pride in their hearts turned into soap bubbles in the sun, and they burst with a "pop".
"When did the Shina become so powerful? Is this really in China? ”
"Those are submarines? Oh, my God? So much? ”
"You! Come here, put this on! A student beckoned to Kurai, who spoke fluent Japanese.
"Ahh Hail! Kurai hurriedly ran over.
"You, from now on, are members of a group. You're the team leader, and it's ten bracelets, one for each of them. This bracelet is your lifesaver, and if anyone loses the bracelet, it will end up the same as him! The young soldier said and pointed to the left front, where a devil was hanging from a tree. This devil may have lost his mind and gone crazy, and after getting out of the car, he was crazy about trying to escape, but he was hit in the vest by a shot and died in an instant.
This gunshot made the only trace of luck in Aoi's hearts disappear in an instant, and made them deeply understand the cruelty of reality. I didn't expect to become the team leader, although it was just an insignificant small cadre, but in Kurai's opinion, there should be a little more security than others. However, the young soldier's next sentence dispelled his thoughts: "If someone in the group loses their bracelet, the team leader will also be held responsible, and he will be punished with ten strokes!" Others reproach five times! In addition, the daily work tasks must be completed in essence, and if one person cannot complete them, the whole group will be punished! Our students are benevolent and righteous teachers, so if there is punishment, there will be rewards, and those who do well will be rewarded, not only will they get more and better food, but they can also get bonuses. ”
……
When his apprentices were receiving and educating these devil mechanics, Chen Ce and several of his generals stood on a building and watched from a distance, discussing how to make better use of these devils. "If these devils are really useful, as the commander-in-chief said, then we can really try to build large warships such as cruisers and frigates," Chen Ce said to a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a pair of glasses and the rank of colonel.
This middle-aged man is a returned overseas Chinese in France, named Tian Yifei. Tian Yifei originally worked in a shipyard in France, and once participated in the construction of the St. Georges cruise ship, and later heard that the cruise ship was bought by the Cadet Corps to prepare for the transformation into an aircraft carrier, so he became interested in the Cadet Corps. Because the student army has made a name for itself in the Anti-Japanese War in recent years, it is very influential among overseas Chinese. As soon as Tian Yifei inquired about it, he was immediately shocked. Tian Yifei is engaged in ship work, so he knows the importance of the navy to a country's national defense. After Tian Yifei achieved some success, he has always looked forward to serving the country, but he did not have this opportunity. And now, the student army has sprung up, and even aircraft carriers can be developed, which makes him see hope all of a sudden. He couldn't wait to quit his job in France and return to China, and then found Guangzhou from Shanghai, and then joined the Haikou base and became the chief engineer of Haikou Shipyard.
The route taken by the cadet army and navy is very different from the mainstream of the current world. At present, the trend of the world is still stuck in the First World War, paying attention to large tonnage and large caliber of main guns, while the Cadet Army attaches great importance to the construction of submarines and torpedo boats. Tian Yifei analyzed the pros and cons of the two routes, and believed that the current combat mission of the Cadet Army Navy is mostly defensive, and this is correct, but considering that the aircraft carrier is already under construction, he thinks that it is necessary to try to build large ships appropriately. When he was a teenager, he went overseas and saw a lot of Western politicians, so Tian Yifei understood that there has never been any friendship between countries, and some are just exchanges of interests. So, although the United States can help China rebuild its aircraft carriers, what about future repairs? What if there is a conflict between the United States and China in the future? At that time, everything was on your own.
For this reason, he also specially wrote a report to Ouyang Yun. The reason why Ouyang Yun wants to vigorously develop the navy and even aircraft carriers is to go to the post-World War II era, Tian Yifei can be said to think of it with him, and he naturally supports it vigorously. Originally, he was thinking about how to make use of the Osaka Division's hard work before. Tian Yifei's idea provided him with an idea, so he had a trip to Haikou for Kurai and other devils.
Tian Yifei: "The key to the construction of large warships lies in the quality of steel and welding skills, and I hope that there are real welding masters among these Japanese." Commander Chen, our commander-in-chief is really incredible, if the Japanese knew that their soldiers were captured by us as coolies, I don't know what Lu Dao would think. ”
"It doesn't matter what he thinks, as long as our fists are hard enough, there's no room for them to speak. I can see through it, this world is respected by the strong, and everything else is fake. ”
