Chapter 97: Naval Genius
e: Ask for a monthly pass n-n)o
The Science and Technology Socialist Party, with the Xingke Group as its old foundation, has always been very efficient, and now it has mastered the state machine, which is even more incredible. Under the influence of power and money, there are few secrets that they can't find out, let alone high-tech. From the third day onwards, the information of the group of young people who engaged in the "name petition" was handed over in June, and it can be said that even the eighteenth generation of their ancestors can find out the background clearly, and even a lot of information may not even be so clear to themselves
The student Li Ang who took the lead is not a small family, and his resume is so unnatural, it is too easy to find out the situation. He was born in a family of maritime merchants in Ningbo, and his family in this line can be traced back to the Ming Dynasty. Everyone knows that there is no difference between maritime merchants and pirates in the past, they can rob if they have the opportunity, and they will do honest business if they don't have the opportunity to rob, anyway, the Li family has always been like this, and it is not too outrageous to say that their family is a pirate family.
In the generation of Li Ang's great-grandfather, he became the chief scoop of maritime merchants (pirates) along the coast of Zhejiang, and the family reached its peak. Strictly speaking, the only difference between the Li maritime merchants and pirates is that they have to talk about the rule of "rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest", after all, their nest is in the big 6, and if they go too far, they won't be able to get along. Therefore, their target is generally foreign merchant ships, and if the kind of ship is robbed, it will be robbed, and your family will go to China to sue if they have the ability
But this peak state within a few years, encountered the Opium War, although his family is not a good family, but at least the integrity is there, great-grandfather organized his family, his subordinates in the name of righteousness, in 182 months to participate in the battle of eastern Zhejiang, and the British army after a long period of fierce battles, most of the Li family died in battle, and his great-grandfather and several brothers were also martyred.
More than ten years later, the Second Opium War broke out, and in June 1859, the British and French forces attacked Dagukou and retreated to Hangzhou Bay after a fierce battle all night. Stimulated by the hatred of the country and the family, Li Ang's grandfather once again organized volunteers to participate in the war. They intended to attack the allied fleet in Hangzhou Bay with arsonist ships in the middle of the night, but this tactic had long been outdated, and the warships of the great powers at this time had long been ironclad, and the fire attack had no effect at all. So, after the coalition forces were awakened, the group that failed to set fire to the group was set on fire by the coalition forces, and the entire death squad was almost wiped out, and Leon's grandfather and a few people desperately swam back to the shore. A few days later, he died of his injuries.
Leon's uncle swore revenge, believing that this era was no longer like before, relying on pirate tactics to defeat the regular navy, so he and several brothers joined the Nanyang Naval Division. A few years later, Uncle Li Ang served as the second officer of the gunboat "Yang Wei", and several brothers served on various ships. On B, 1884, the Battle of Majiang broke out, and the Nanyang Naval Division fought for a long time, but finally failed due to the old warship, Li Ang's three uncles and several cousins and uncles all died, and there were only five men left in the huge Li family, Li Ang's father Li Shou, who was studying at home, and his two elder brothers, as well as two cousins.
At this point, their family's ancestral business could no longer continue, and at this time, the coast of China had become the territory of the navies of the great powers, and the great powers would not allow pirates to exist. The Li family officially went ashore and became a member of the Ningbo merchant gang. Although Li Shou did not read anything famous, he was a good businessman, and after his father and brother joined the army, he studied at home while taking care of the family's shop, and after his father and brother died, he officially transferred to the shopping mall. Moreover, several fellow wealthy businessmen of the Ningbo Merchant Gang felt the heroism of his family and took care of them in business.
Therefore, after Li Shou officially entered business, it only took five or six years for the Li family to regain its former glory. There are a number of factories and shops in Fujian and Zhejiang, and by 196 they had become the top ten wealthy merchants in Ningbo.
Although the Li family's business is getting bigger and bigger, Li Shou has never forgotten the blood feud with the British and French Empires, he himself has not been in good health since he was a child, and he is not a material for joining the army, so he pins his hopes on his son, but his first two sons are not this material, and the eldest son has completely inherited his business talent, and he has no military talent at all. The second son is timid by nature and is a typical nerdy otaku.
According to the law of conservation of character, the Li family, who had been fighting the streets for several generations, finally caught a good card, and the third son Li Ang was born in the year of the Battle of Majiang.
From an early age, Leon was so gifted that he could read at the age of six, and at the age of 13 he became a talent, during which time he also learned English, French and German. And he has a strong physique, courage and tenacity, and is very talented in martial arts. But his interest is obviously not in the imperial examination, probably he was born in the navy, he has a strong interest in the navy and ships since he was a child, and at the age of 14, he proposed to his father to go abroad to study the navy, and his father was very supportive, so he contacted the United States Zhi Gong Court through guò relations and asked them to help let his son study in the United States Naval Academy.
In 186, at the age of 14, Li Ang came to the United States and became a registered disciple under the disciple of Situ Meitang. Later, Li Ang spent 2 years to complete the American middle school curriculum and obtained a high Chinese certificate. In 196, through the relationship of the court lawyer Roosevelt Jr., Leon entered the Naval Academy of Annali Persia as a self-financed student, where he set a record for completing four years of school courses in two years and passed the written examination with honors.
From 19 to 19o3, he successively interned in the battleship USS Wisconsin BB and the battleship USS Maine BB1o in the US Navy, and the internship results were also extremely good, and even attracted the attention of Alfred Thayer O, the former president of the Naval Academy. Mahan considered him a genius naval commander and offered him a solicitation for as long as he was willing to stay in the United States, and the matter of naturalization was covered by the Naval Academy. After Leon refused, Mahan believed that the British Navy was the strongest in the world, and it would be too wasteful of his genius to study in the United States, so he recommended him to study at the Royal Naval College Greenwich in England.
During his internship in the U.S. Navy, Leon's family also forged a relationship and obtained the status of an official naval student. From 19o4 to 196, Leon entered the Royal Naval College Greenwich, England for a four-year study, of which two years were successively on the battleships "Majestic", "Agile", "Old Man's Star" and other battleships and Armstrong Shipyard internship. During this period, he spent six months at the Kiel Naval Academy in Germany. In October, when he graduated from the Royal Naval College, he received the rank of lieutenant in the navy.
When he was studying at the Royal Naval College, Li Ang had already come into contact with "Materialist China" and the idea of "scientific socialism" proposed by Wen Desi, and he agreed with it very much, and joined the "Materialist China" reading club in London. Originally, he could directly defect to the Socialist Party when he returned to China, but he was so angry that he felt that he could not show his own ability, so he contacted a group of turtle students, overseas Chinese from Europe and the United States, and children of Nanyang Chinese who were preparing to return to China to participate in the revolution through the Guò Reading Club. As a result, there was an incident in which their coB pirates hijacked the fleeing magnates.
"For three generations in a row, twenty-eight people were martyred in the national disaster, which is really full of loyalty" Wen Deji was also shocked by the deeds of the Li family. "This Li Ang is really a naval genius, Wang Tiehammer should be happy now......"
"Commander Wang went to the 6th Army Air Force every day during this time, and made the two commanders of the 6th Army Air Force afraid to see him...... Mr. Luo of the 6th Army complained bitterly when he saw people, saying that the five battles of Hubei, Hunan, Sichuan, Yunnan-Guizhou, and Liangguang did not have as many people as there were losses in this month......" Gu Xiaoyuan, the confidential secretary in charge of military affairs, said with a smile
"Hehe, this Rossi is really, the Navy has just been established, the big brother of the 6th Army, what does it matter if you give some manpower to the brother troops. What about Meng Shu's side?" Wen Desi also felt amused.
Gu Xiaoyuan covered her mouth and smiled: "Commander Meng is also complaining, saying that his air force has shrunk by a quarter......"
"What's his name, the 6th Army allocated an airborne brigade and an anti-aircraft artillery brigade to him......" Wen Desi smiled and said: "Well, the losses of the 6th Army are a bit bigger, not counting the 30,000 recruits allocated to the Navy, they also allocated a main brigade to reorganize the 6th War Brigade in the past, and allocated 2 heavy artillery regiments to form a shore artillery unit. Two divisions were also drawn out to establish an armed police force. It is indeed a great injury to his vitality, and he can't complain about Lao Luo's bitterness. Then add 2 more heavy artillery brigades to the 6th Army on the original expansion plan. If production can keep up, one more brigade of armored vehicles can be added......"
"Is Wang Tiezhu still in Neijiang now?"
"It's still there, he's been wandering around various research institutes and arsenals these days...... Gu Xiaoyuan flipped his palm light brain and said, "Oh, he should be in Factory 64 today......"
Wen Desi asked casually: "Oh, Factory 64, how are their torpedoes?"
Gu Xiaoyuan replied: "The heavy thermodynamic torpedoes used by the ship are very smooth, but the light torpedoes used for airdrop still have some problems that cannot be mass-produced, mainly because of the sealing materials. At present, the manufacturing progress of PTFE in the chemical port is somewhat unable to keep up......"
Wen Deji nodded: "Okay, I see." The progress of the air-dropped oxygen torpedoes must be accelerated, and now that we have an outlet to the sea, we must consider the threat of the navies of the great powers, and now we can deal with the navies of the great powers, only air power, and I will ask about it over there. ”
"Xiaoyuan, inform Wang Tiehammer to come to me, I'm going to give him a major, hehehe......" Wen Desi said with a smile.
"Ah, Major, Mr. Wen, are you going to confer the rank of major on this Li Ang?" Gu Xiaoyuan was taken aback.
"yes, you think it's too high?"
Gu Xiaoyuan hurriedly persuaded: "Of course it's high, although his resume is very good, but our army has rules that you can't be promoted beyond the rank during non-war periods, you obviously violate the rules like this, I'm afraid others won't accept it......"
Wen Deji shook his head: "It's not that high. Rules are for mortals, not for geniuses. He himself is a double degree graduate, and the minimum should be awarded to a lieutenant. He also showed excellent command and organizational skills in this operation, and with this military exploit, it is not too much to award the rank of major. If anyone is not convinced, give me something similar, and I will be promoted in the same way. ”
“…… Of course, since the rules have been set, they cannot be broken until the new regulations come out, and I will not be an exception. But we can be flexible, just like this......" Wen Desi smiled and whispered a few words to Gu Xiaoyuan.
After listening to this, Gu Xiaoyuan froze: "Mr. Wen, you are so talented, you can come up with such a solution."
