Chapter 346: Japanese devils don't want to colonize the United States, do they? (Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass)
Zhuge Weidao really didn't know that the Japanese devils in Texas and the American devils had a dog-eat-dog fight, although this dog-eat-dog seemed to be a game of his hand. On behalf of the Nanyang Fleet, he returned to Beijing by airship to report to the Admiralty and the Navy's General Staff and to attend a meeting on the reorganization of the Navy's three major fleets, one small and four fleets.
Just a few days ago, Viscount Bellsford, commander of the Anglo-Indian Army Malayan Regiment, had signed the agreement for the peaceful transfer of Temasek Fort. Under the terms of the agreement, the British and Indian troops in Temasek Fort and some of the captured white-skinned British and Indian soldiers would leave Temasek Island and the Malacca prisoner of war camp on a Dutch merchant ship bound for India. The rations, silver coins, ammunition, weapons, and other miscellaneous items stored in the fort by Temasek and the Anglo-Indian army were all handed over to the Ming-Japanese coalition forces.
At this point, the Battle of Malacca has ended victoriously! The Ming Empire soon added a strait province to its map.
After seizing control of the Malay Peninsula and the Strait of Malacca, the three main fleets of the Ming Navy, one small and one small, obviously need to be reorganized. Because the Ming Navy's access to the Indian Ocean is now unimpeded, and at least half of the control of the Indian Ocean is also in the hands of the Ming Navy, the time is ripe for the establishment of the Western Fleet.
In addition, the Persian Gulf "presence" fleet, which blocked the gates in the Persian Gulf, will also be incorporated into the Western Fleet and become the second detachment of the Western Fleet.
At the same time, the Ming Navy was also preparing to start the Dutch East Indies, the Spanish South Luzon Islands and Oceania.
Therefore, it is necessary to reorganize the South Sea Fleet and shift the mission direction of the South Sea Fleet from the Strait of Malacca to the above-mentioned places, and the focus of this is of course on the attack on Oceania.
It was also necessary for the Beiyang Fleet to be reorganized into the Oriental Fleet, and its home port should also be moved from Pusan to Pearl Harbor in the Kingdom of Hawaii - after the Ming Dynasty took Hawaii last time, the construction of the Pearl Harbor naval base was in full swing. Until recently, the first phase of the Pearl Harbor Naval Base was completed, and it was finally possible to move the home port of the Oriental Fleet.
After the Malacca channel was mastered by the Ming Navy, the Ming coastal area was theoretically absolutely safe. So there is no need to keep the native Grand Fleet, it is enough to set up a coast guard fleet.
Finally, the aircraft carrier directly under the jurisdiction of the Admiral Yamen of the HNA will also return to the factory for renovation and upgrading after the Battle of Malacca, and install blocking cables, blocking nets, and landing mirrors. After the completion of the transformation, the three Liaodong-class aircraft carriers will be used as training carriers, while the four Shuzhongwang-class aircraft carriers (there was only one before, but the other three have recently been on sea trials) will be assigned to the three main fleets after the refit is completed.
This series of adjustments is easy to say, and it is really necessary to complete it, but it is quite a toss-up.
In addition, the lead ship of the new 25,000-ton battlecruiser "First Emperor" class has also recently begun sea trials - the Admiralty originally planned to equip this class of battleships with all-oil boilers and a 75,000-horsepower steam turbine system, but the development of the 75,000-horsepower main engine was delayed, so it had to settle for the next best thing and use the alternative 60,000-horsepower main engine.
The proposal for a new fleet aircraft carrier based on the Shihuang-class hull and power system, as well as the 30,000-ton battleship based on the Shidi-class power system, have all been completed and will await the approval of the Naval Armaments Commission. Zhuge Weidao will also participate in the examination and approval of these two plans as a member of the Armaments Commission.
When the aircraft carriers and warships of these two projects are put into service in large quantities, the Ming Navy will have a greater advantage in the ocean!
According to Zhuge Weidao's earlier idea, he had to wait until the 25,000-ton battle cruisers, aircraft carriers and 30,000-ton battleships were put into service in batches, and then let the Japanese devils in Texas knife the American devils in Texas.
By that time, maybe the Ecuadorian canals will all be repaired!
But I didn't expect the two devils in Texas to fight first without holding back, and it was indeed a bit troublesome!
When he got into the "Big Red Rabbit" luxury car that Yu Dexin bought and went to his house in Goolan Hutong in Beijing, Zhuge Weidao suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he asked Yu Dedao with a smile: "Brother Xiaoqian, this Texas Japanese and Americans have a fight, does it have anything to do with whether the council will be held or not?" ”
"This." Yu De said with a smile, "Actually, today's council meeting is a meeting, but the things discussed are not very important, so I asked for leave to come to the airport to pick you up." ”
Zhuge laughed for Dao: "Xiaoqian, what are you polite to me?" Did the old man ask you to come? Or is it "
"It's not the old man, the old man doesn't have an opinion, and what is the tenth master (referring to Zhuge Weiyi)?" Yu De shook his head, "I can't hide it, it's your old acquaintance, the lord of the Mito domain and the navy of Japan, Tokugawa Saiaki. He arrived in Beijing a day before you, and he also came by airship. ”
It turned out that Yu De was invited by Tokugawa Qi Zhao to lobby Zhuge for the Tao
"That's it?" Zhuge smiled for the road, "No, we have spent so much silver to transport so many Japanese ronins to Texas in the past two years, isn't it just to make them anti-American?" Do you need to tell me about this? What exactly does Tokugawa Saiaki mean? ”
Yu De smiled: "Daozi, I don't understand what it means, why don't you take a trip to the big black house on the edge of the big fence?" Tokugawa Saiaki lived there. ”
The big black house is often the big black house in the past two years, it has become more and more prosperous, and it has opened from "special catering" to "characteristic hotel", not catering, but catering and hotels together, and they are all "special", and if you are tired of eating, you can stay in the hotel directly.
Zhuge nodded for the road and said with a smile: "Okay, it's true that I'm a little hungry, let's go to the big black house for lunch together!" ”
"Derre!" Yu De smiled and said to the driver in front of him, "San'er, walk up, Rouge Hutong, Big Black House." ”
The Beijing branch of Daheiwu is located in the depths of Rouge Hutong, one of the eight famous hutongs next to Dashilar, and rented a large courtyard house near the end of the hutongs, which was remodeled and turned into a building full of "Tang style".
Although it is open for trading, the gate of the courtyard where the big black house is located is always closed, and it will only be opened for a while when regular customers come by car or horse-drawn carriage. As for the regular guests, they enter through another small door. However, there are no ordinary guests in this grade of "characteristic hotel", come and play. Oh, it's the people who come to stay at the hotel, they are either rich or expensive.
Yu De's "Big Red Rabbit" seems to be a frequent visit, and the doorman who guards the door saw it from a distance and opened one of the two closed doors for him, without asking or pleading, and directly let the "Big Red Rabbit Car" in.
After the car drove in, it stopped directly in front of a "tenement building", and a samurai from the Mito clan who was guarding in front of the tenement building came up and pulled the door for Yu De and Zhuge Weidao, and then knelt down on one knee to greet him.
As soon as Zhuge Weidao got out of the car, he already saw Tokugawa Saiaki, who was wearing a kimono, standing at the door with a few little devils and bowing to his side. Just for this diligence, coupled with the fact that he said that he was moved by Germany, most of the little devils wanted to do a big deal this time!
Zhuge Weidao said: "You little devils didn't learn the wrong experience in the battle of the Malay Peninsula, and thought that Westerners were all strong and vulnerable to foreign power, so they had the idea of colonizing the United States, right?" ”
