"Our government is still arrogant and cannot afford to buy new ships before they happen. We can't preemptively strike after the fact, resulting in the loss of opportunity......

On a rainy night, Chen Daxin got up to go to the toilet, and suddenly found that his hall was not only open, but there was a dark figure squatting at the door.

He was originally confused by Huhuhu, and he instantly became excited, and trembled at the figure: "You...... What do you do? If you are a gentleman, I advise you to get acquainted with each other, put down your belongings and leave as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult for you to leave again when I shout!"

As she spoke, Chen Daxin suddenly thought of the rumors that a thief had just been bumped into by someone, and the thief suddenly became vicious, not only swept away all the property, but also killed the old and young in the family, which was very miserable.

The more I think about it, the more scared I become, and the more I think about it, the more cautious I become.

Chen Daxin quietly leaned down, picked up the deadbolt leaning against the wall, and saw that the figure was getting closer and closer, and immediately waved the deadbolt.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a red light suddenly lit up next to the figure, and then the red light turned into a smoking gun and smashed at Chen Daxin.

"Rabbit cub, you can't do it, I don't care if I raise you so big, I only have your mother in my heart, and I don't even know what your father and I look like!?"

At that moment, a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky.

Through this light, the figure of Chen Daxin's father, Chen Zhaoqiang, immediately appeared in front of him, but his emotions at this time looked very uncalm, his eyes widened angrily, and he glared fiercely.

Perhaps not enough, Chen Zhaoqiang raised the cigarette gun again.

After all, it was his own Lao Tzu, how could Chen Daxin not know the routine, and he was about to dodge, so he hurriedly explained:

"Dad, you don't sleep at night, how did I know that you were smoking outside, the situation is so turbulent, and I am also thinking about everyone, so you still have to beat me......

As she spoke, Chen Daxin suddenly sniffed carefully, directly snatched the cigarette gun, and complained, "Dad, why do you still use such cheap tobacco, didn't I buy it for you and it's expensive?" And the cigarette I bought you last time, with a filter, isn't it better than that?"

Chen Zhaoqiang snorted coldly and took the cigarette gun out of his son's hand: "Hmph, keep the good things for your father-in-law, so that he won't be waiting to see you, your father and I are the ones who picked up a life from the pile of dead people on the battlefield, what battle have you never seen?" I can't get used to that soft thing, but it's better for the old man!"

Chen Daxin originally wanted to continue to persuade him, but thinking of his father's temper, it was useless to say more.

"Dad, it's not early, you better hurry up and rest, don't you have to meet with that great mathematician Cheng Nuo tomorrow to discuss big things, and your spirit can't be bad."

Chen Zhaoqiang waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, okay, hurry back to the house and sleep, I know it in my heart."

Chen Daxin sighed secretly and shook his head, he would do whatever he had to do.

Only Chen Zhaoqiang was left in the same place, and the flickering red light.

I don't know when, Chen Zhaoqiang suddenly stood up on his knees, and slowly walked towards the dark rainy night......

On the eve of the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle.

Stepping on the Dingyuan, which was known as the "first-class ironclad ship all over the world" when it was produced, Chen Zhaoqiang, as the chief steward, was standing on the bow of the ship with high spirits at this time, watching Ding Ruchang, the commander of the Beiyang Naval Division, making the final mobilization:

"Only solve the battlefield and die for the country, why should the horse leather shroud be returned. Brothers, now it's time to serve the country and kill the enemy, rush with me, let these Oriental devils have a good look at the blood of our Chinese men, and they will definitely die......

At this moment, the Dingyuan fired its first shot, but this shot not only failed to hit the Chinese and Japanese ships, but accidentally injured the commander Ding Ruchang.

I saw that after the smoke of gunpowder, Ding Ruchang fell down from a high place, and then a group of officers and soldiers shouted and hugged him.

"Ding Shuai, how are you......

"Who fired the cannon, immediately imprisoned, and after Ding Shuai woke up, he was engaged in military law......

"Doctor, call Doctor quickly......

At this time, Chen Zhaoqiang was busy directing the engine

normal operation. This capital ship, known as the "Unsinkable Ship", already looks a little "old".

After the formation of the Beiyang army, the imperial court was infighting, and the household department was reduced year by year until the appropriation was finally stopped, and the lack of funds made the fleet renewal and ship maintenance repeatedly restricted.

Today's Dingyuan has long since lost its former glory, and it is not easy for Chen Zhaoqiang to make this behemoth operate normally, and it is very difficult to make it drive normally.

Now that coach Ding Ruchang was injured by mistake, there are also some historical inevitabilities mixed with accidents.

Under the leaderless of the dragons, the entire naval battle was stirred into a mess.

Before the naval battle began, the Super Brave ship sank, and the sister ship was seriously injured...... The battle lasted until evening, and the Jingyuan ship was also sunk......

Looking at those compatriots who fell into the water and desperately begged for help, Chen Zhaoqiang, who had just climbed to the deck, was stunned, and immediately jumped into the water to rescue them.

Unexpectedly, Liu Buyun was held by the pipe belt: "Jing'er, why are you going, don't die, look up and take a good look at what those Japanese are doing?!"

Following the direction of his finger, Chen Zhaoqiang saw with his own eyes those Japanese devils, not only did not let go of those compatriots who fell into the water, but also tried in vain to cause more casualties by shooting, and the entire sea surface was dyed red with blood.

"Yu Ting, how can you bear this? These are our comrades-in-arms who get along day and night." Chen Zhaoqiang clenched his fist and smashed it into the air, trying to smash something, but this feeling of powerlessness almost made him despair: "That's it...... Watching them die in vain, can't we do anything?"

Liu Buyun looked at the officers and soldiers who fell into the water, and couldn't suppress the bloodthirsty gaze in his eyes, but he still tried his best to control it: "Dingyuan is one of our capital ships, our time is precious, if we can't expand the results of the battle, then the sacrifices of these compatriots will be completely in vain!"

Chen Zhaoqiang almost crushed his back molars, and with great effort, he twisted his head back from the surface of the sea, and struggled to squeeze out a word from between his teeth: "Good!"

With that, he turned his head and returned to the hot engine room.

After his friend left, Liu Buyun shouted again to the sailors on the deck: "Brothers, *** these *** miscellaneous people!"

……

Although the equipment is inferior to Japan, although the quantity is inferior to Japan.

However, the Dingyuan always insisted on fighting and played a pivotal role in this naval battle until the Japanese fleet withdrew from the battlefield and fled.

During the battle of more than 5 hours, the Dingyuan rushed left and right, bravely attacked, and the engine always supplied navigation power, and there was never a mechanical failure.

The reason for this is that Chen Zhaoqiang has a certain degree of deployment and ensures the combat effectiveness of the Dingyuan with aging equipment.

It's a pity that in the face of the general trend, manpower is too weak.

Four months later, during the Battle of Weihai, the Dingyuan was attacked by enemy torpedoes and ran aground on Liugong Island.

"Yuting, Ding Shuai has issued an order for us to completely abandon the Dingyuan, his mission as a "water fort" has been completed, and now it has already been seriously flooded, and there is no use value, for the sake of the overall situation, it is better to evacuate as soon as possible!"

Seeing his friend's decadent look, halfway through the road, Chen Zhaoqiang turned back and continued to persuade: "Now that the enemy ship is getting closer and closer to us, if we don't move completely, it's really too late, stay alive, don't be afraid of running out of firewood."

As a generation of famous naval generals, Liu Buyun shook his head: "Jing'er, according to the name of foreigners, I should call you a junior, right?"

Although the situation is not optimistic, when asked by his senior and superior, out of respect, Chen Zhaoqiang still replied: "You are a graduate of the first pilot class of the Mawei Ship Master School, and I am a graduate of the second marine engineering class of the school.

Liu Buyun nodded, he sat on the deck because of his injury, and his movement was not very convenient, but in this way, he still refused Chen Zhaoqiang's support, got up stiffly, and gasped: "I still remember how high-spirited you and I were when we graduated, and we had a posture of pointing out the country, as if we were ......."

"Ahem......" Liu Bu coughed relentlessly, with tears in his eyes: "It seems that all the situation can be improved because of you and me, but it is a pity that the public has been asked to strengthen the construction of the navy and purchase advanced ironclad ships and new guns and weapons every year to resist the foreign powers."

But I don't agree!"

Chen Zhaoqiang hurriedly stepped forward to help, patted his friend's back and said, "Yuting, don't say any more, your body is important, let's get off the boat with me!"

"That's it, that's it." Liu Buyun raised his head, tears rolling in his eyes, but he just didn't let it fall: "It's too late, it's useless to say anything, decades of foundation are ruined, how can there be any chance of a comeback?" When I die, your sister-in-law and nephew will be entrusted to you!"

As he spoke, Liu Buyun picked up the saber on the side and was about to swing the knife to kill himself.

Although Chen Zhaoqiang was prepared in his heart, he still couldn't accept it when the other party said this, but fortunately, he was quick and snatched the knife: "This defeat and the destruction of the Beiyang Fleet are not your responsibility, you really can't turn things around.

[In view of the general environment,

Now that the court has not yet issued an edict to behead you, why should you rush to kill yourself?"

Liu Buyun's eyes were full of death: "If you lose the ship, you will cut yourself, as the captain of a ship, the ship is in the people, and the ship is dead!"

Chen Zhaoqiang still wanted to continue to persuade: "There is still a chance for the better, wait and see!"

Liu Buyun shook his head, and suddenly a bright light flashed in his eyes, as if he thought of something, he hurriedly took out a palm-sized small bottle from his waist, and said happily, "Jing'er, do you know what this is?"

Chen Zhaoqiang looked carefully, but did not notice any clues: "I don't know."

Liu Buyun immediately opened the cap of the bottle, shook the bottle and laughed: "This is the alcohol that the doctor drugged medicated medicated, I secretly asked for a little more to hide it, and deliberately mixed it with water, whenever I wanted to drink it, I took it out and touched it, so that I was addicted to alcohol."

Chen Zhaoqiang couldn't bear it: "If you want to drink it, drink it, you don't have to worry about military discipline at this time."

Liu Buyun immediately made a tiger face: "Nonsense, as long as I am on the Dingyuan for a day, no one will be allowed to violate military discipline, and the captain is the same!"

Chen Zhaoqiang asked, "Then how did you take it out?"

"Ahem......" Liu Buyun coughed violently again, this time there was actually blood streaks coming out, looking at it and smiling bitterly, "It seems that my body also knows what I think."

With that, he got up again and walked towards the deck handrail.

This time, he did not refuse Chen Zhaoqiang's support, and when he arrived at the beach, Liu Buyun actually sprinkled the "wine" on the sea with his own hands:

"First, I salute the brothers who died in battle, the commander is incompetent and cannot take revenge.

Second, I pay tribute to my parents who gave birth to me and raised me, my son has no filial piety and cannot be loyal before his death.

Third, to the parents of childhood sweethearts, the husband is unrighteous and cannot grow old in vain.

As for this fourth blow, forget it, it's hopeless, it's providential......

Throwing the "wine bottle" in his hand to the sea, Liu Buyun turned his head to look at Chen Zhaoqiang, and said seriously: "Senior brother, I don't ask for anyone in my life, I just want you to keep my whole corpse today, is it okay?"

At this time, Chen Zhaoqiang could no longer control his emotions, howled and cried, and convulsed, "Learn...... Seniors......

Liu Buyun patted his junior brother on the shoulder and smiled freely: "People always die, why are you crying?"

In the back, Liu Buyun committed suicide by taking poison.

How can he be burly, with excellent physique, taking medicine for more than a day, other subordinates have dispersed, only Chen Zhaoqiang guarded his side, and finally Liu Buyun closed his eyes, and then snored loudly, foaming foam, after a while, the snoring gradually disappeared, and he died completely.

When Liu Buyun died, Chen Zhaoqiang led the crowd to plant explosives in the battleship and ignited it to self-detonate.

A generation of famous naval generals, along with a generation of famous ships, has completely disappeared in the long river of history.

And this Chen Zhaoqiang is a continuation of the legacy of Liu Buyun and others, the first naval engineer lieutenant general in the history of the Republic of China (the highest military rank in naval engineering), and also a famous naval general who was born as a marine engineer and stood out, which is extremely rare.

On the one hand, he, like Sa Zhenbing, is the only two who have completely experienced the three historical periods of the late Qing Dynasty, the Republic of China, and the Republic

Harbour Master.

On the other hand, he has made great contributions to the restoration of the Beiyang Naval Division, the revitalization of the Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau and the Jiangnan Shipyard, the manufacture of China's first aircraft, the cultivation of naval talents, the inheritance of the cultural spirit of the shipyard, and the promotion of local undertakings.

Like Shen Baozhen, he is a figure who has made a comprehensive contribution to the shipyard, but his achievements are relatively obscured due to the time and conditions of the time.

Back on the rainy night, Chen Zhaoqiang brought out a bottle of wine out of nowhere and sprinkled it in the courtyard along with the rainwater.

"The martyrs only know that there is a country, but they do not know that there is a body, and they are not permanent. Haoran righteousness, like the sun and the stars and mountains, has endured calamities.

The fourth glass of wine, I salute the senior!"

As he spoke, he poured out the wine from the jug completely, and his face couldn't tell whether the alcohol was rain, water, or wine, almost crazy.

"Senior, now that the opportunity has come, you are no longer the same person you used to be, and I am not the original me, this time I will definitely seize the opportunity and will not let history repeat itself, your tragedy, even if I fight for my life, I can't let it happen again."

He babbled for a long time, and when he was completely out of strength, he suddenly lay down in the rain.

"Professor Cheng, see you tomorrow!"
