“…… It is indeed possible that the Party Central Committee is a little anxious, but this is also something that cannot be helped. Seeing that Wang Qiu's face was not very good-looking, Fang Zhimin hurriedly came out to play a round, "...... After all, we Chinese have been bullied by the strong ships and cannons of Westerners for almost a hundred years, and everyone longs for a strong navy capable of defending the sea frontier. Now there are so many giant ships sinking in Hong Kong, no matter who changes them, they will want to 'fish for the ocean'! ”

“…… That's right, the little gunboats and torpedo boats you provided were good, but they were a little imposing! Su Yu also interjected.

“…… The problem is that a decent ocean-going navy is really not so easy to train! It's not like getting a few ships and it's done! ”

Wang Qiu smiled bitterly and wrenched his fingers:

“…… A backward and poor country with weak industry will absolutely not be able to afford a big navy, because it costs money not only to buy warships, but also to maintain warships. Even if you rely on the seizures in the war to save the former cost of purchasing ships, the latter daily expenses alone can also completely destroy your country's finances, which are not abundant

The education and training of qualified seafarers, the maintenance and repair of machinery and equipment, and the selection and construction of large military ports are all protracted and costly work...... In order to build the Beiyang Naval Division, the Manchu Qing Dynasty made Li Hongzhang even turn over his old foundation!

Even if all this can be brought into play, for the time being, just let so many warships run around the ocean at full speed, you have to burn at least a few thousand tons of fuel oil, and China is still an oil-poor country, can you afford to burn it? ”

“…… The comrades of the Party Central Committee should be well aware of the difficulties you mentioned, but in this day and age, a country cannot rise without a strong navy! So we must seize every opportunity! ”

Fang Zhimin replied solemnly:

“…… Comrade Wang Qiu, please be sure to give me an accurate message here, can you find a way to salvage and repair this British fleet that is now sinking in Hong Kong? According to the telegram sent from Guangdong, if we do not hurry up the salvage, I am afraid that there will be no repair value when these warships are soaked in seawater and rusted excessively. Well, it would be even more ideal if these ships could be modernized and equipped with the advanced electronics of your time. ”

“…… Salvaging a wreck is not a big problem, anyway, Victoria Bay is an excellent haven with calm seas, and the sea conditions are generally not bad enough to be operational. And divers, after all, you can recruit a few in Hong Kong and Shanghai, and if you can't do it, you can ask the Soviet Navy for help, anyway, as long as you take out another atomic bomb as a reward, the Soviet big brother will definitely become very generous......"

Wang Qiu thought for a moment and replied:

“…… I went to inquire about it, and the way to salvage such a huge battleship is usually to tie a large number of pontoons to the hull and slowly bring the wreck out of the water with pontoons, iron chains, and diving equipment...... The real problem lies in the subsequent overhaul and modernization.

Since these warships were salvaged after sinking, they must be overhauled, at least the electrical equipment and boiler pipes must be relaid, many precision parts of the main engine must be repaired and replaced, and the gun barrels are also somewhat rusted......

But not to mention the parts, equipment and sites, Hong Kong's Taikoo Dockyard had been bombed into ruins during the war, and it had to rely on foreign engineers to start working, and it would have been paralyzed without the British. And these foreign engineers are now either fleeing or squatting in prisoner of war camps.

In this way, only the Jiangnan shipyard in Shanghai in the whole of China can barely be competent, although it is estimated that it will not be possible to build battleships, aircraft carriers and battlecruisers here, but it is estimated that the ready-made battleships and heavy cruisers are dragged in for partial repair, and it is estimated that they are barely competent.

But the question is, on such a long journey from Hong Kong to Shanghai, can you get a large tugboat that can pull tens of thousands of tons of battleships? And don't forget, many Japanese devils are still on the island of Taiwan on the other side of the Taiwan Strait, ready to retaliate at any time!

Well, even if you safely tow the battleship through the Taiwan Strait and arrive at the port of Shanghai, and all the hardware and equipment are ready, where will so many skilled skilled workers and engineers come from? In China today, even welders and electricians are high-tech talents! ”

All in all, Wang Qiu is completely unoptimistic about the Party Central Committee's plan to "utilize waste and build a big navy of the Chinese":

Although it seems that you can get a fleet of more than 200,000 tons without spending money on ships, it sounds very cool, but there has never been a free lunch in this world, and with the poor and weak family of old China, even if you pick up battleships, most of them will not be able to repair them, and even if they are barely repaired, they will not be able to raise them

At present, China needs to import even a ball bearing and a bottle of lubricating oil, where can it afford a gold-swallowing beast like a battleship?!

Even modern people often have the bitter thing that they can't afford to buy a car, not to mention that now they are building a large fleet on the basis of old China's poverty and whiteness?!

Is the so-called main engine overhaul something that can be solved by opening the engine compartment cover and then knocking a few hammers on the things in the engine compartment?

The so-called electrification modification is just to stuff a bunch of instruments into the cabin, plug in the plug, and at most take a tape to fix it?

Do the so-called sailors just need to go to the fishing villages of Guangdong and Fujian and pick a few illiterate fishermen for training?

Is the so-called naval combat skills just a quick result of watching a bunch of war movies and playing a few games of "Sea Battle"?

There are also missiles, sonars, radars, and other advanced equipment in the modern world, which are nearly a century ahead of the times. Dear, you are so pure!

Come on! If all these troubles are really so simple to deal with, then why did the Indian Ahsan in the 21 st century, after buying Russian submarines, find that he could not play any tricks, and had accidents twice in three days, and finally had to retain Maozi submariners?

In the end, under the unanimous opposition of Wang Qiu and other travelers, the Guangzhou Party Central Committee finally and abruptly canceled the "200,000-ton Red Navy Construction Plan" that had reached the sky in one step, gave up those battleships that looked very good and powerful, but were actually too expensive and could not be used, and instead used the intact British destroyers and gunboats captured on Hong Kong Island, as well as the salvaged light cruisers, as the backbone, to form a "coastal navy" that met the actual conditions.

As for the three battleships and battlecruisers lying at the Stonecutters Island anchorage, the Party Central Committee decided to salvage them and sell them to the Soviet Union at a low price to thank the Soviet comrades for their tremendous help in the near future. And the Soviet Pacific Fleet, which has gained more access to the Pacific Ocean, really needs to get a few huge ships to fill the façade......

However, after withstanding such a blow, the party Central Committee also fully realized the urgency and necessity of cultivating its own seafaring talents, and began to send people to survey the land and harbor on Hong Kong Island, and planned to use the original seafarers' training institutions of the British colonial authorities in Hong Kong to establish a red naval school of its own on this basis, so as to avoid the dilemma of "having a huge ship in the air, but no one can drive or repair it."

In fact, not to mention the battleships and aircraft carriers that have gathered the essence of human military science and technology in this era, even some of the industrial equipment transferred by the traversers before is quite a sign of adaptation due to the lack of high-quality workers and qualified technicians in this time and space.

For example, the small steel plant built in Shanghai, since the first furnace of molten iron was smelted, has been running bumpy, because the grade of iron ore and coke is not good, and the operators are all rookies, so that the quality of the molten iron has been low, not to mention, there have been accidents at two ends in three days, and it is even more distant to achieve stable operation with a daily output of 1,000 tons.

Moreover, due to the limitation of objective conditions, the steel plant still uses a large proportion of non-mainstream mines, which further increases the suspension on the basis of the already poor operation, and is finally forced to withdraw the load......

As for further raising the load and reaching the design output limit of 1,500 tons per day, with the existing technical conditions and personnel quality of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, I am afraid that it will not be able to reach it at all for a while.

Fortunately, relying on the various industrial equipment and technical data continuously transmitted by the traversers, as well as the hard work of the party activists, this embryonic steel complex is also constantly improving, and small steel plants in Ma'anshan and other places are also under construction.

Moreover, after recovering the Northeast, the coal and steel industry system left by Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Xueliang and his son, and the Japanese invaders can still be received, which should basically meet domestic demand.

All in all, everything is getting better.

Here's the outline:

In the late autumn of 1935, Hitler watched "The Destruction of the Reich" in the secret room of the Chancellery in Berlin, and angrily announced that he would buy back the nuclear bomb even if he sold the Chancellery. Stalin, on the other hand, watched the "Thirty Years of the Death of the Soviet Union" in his Kremlin office, smoking a pipe and thinking about it.

After enduring a dozen nuclear bombardments on the mainland, the Japanese government was coerced by fanatical militarists and decided to move the capital to Seoul, North Korea, and fight to the death. As a result of the leak, the Chinese Red Army announced that it would nuke Seoul after the capital was moved, and the terrified Koreans set off a major uprising.

During the battle of the Japanese troops stationed in Korea to suppress the Seoul Rebellion, the Seoul rebels shouted, "Do you want to kill yourself by nuclear bombs?" So the morale of the Japanese army collapsed and the suppression failed.

At the same time, the Soviet army invaded Korea and broke through all the way. The Red Navy landed in Sendai, and the desperate Japanese army basically did not put up resistance. The Japanese people even enthusiastically welcomed the way, because once the hometown was occupied by the Soviet army, it would not be bombed by nuclear bombs.

At this point, the Japanese Empire was completely finished, and it was forced to bend its knees and sue for peace.

At this time, the life of the wormhole was nearing the end, and the traverser used the last time to organize a nuclear bomb auction in Shanghai, emptying the old and outdated nuclear arsenal of modern China in one go, and making a lot of money.

Out of care for the revolutionary predecessors, the Party Central Committee was left with an intercontinental missile loaded with a nuclear warhead, which could theoretically hit most important targets around the world.

Eventually, the wormhole collapses and the time-traveler returns to modern time and space, receives the medal, and becomes a national hero on the secret front.

This is the end of the story of "Invincible Chengguan".
