June 2, 1941, Wuchang, the anchorage of the Navy's Yangtze River Fleet

"There are also those two destroyers, and the alliance side also has a lot of opinions, and they actually claim that the warship is stealing the blueprints of their latest destroyer, and ask us to explain the origin of the warship." Mr. He continued.

"What are you kidding, this warship understands that this is copied from the British, it's just a little rougher, and besides, these warships are used ruthlessly, and they must have run for tens of thousands of nautical miles." Commander Chen scoffed at this statement, how did two high-speed destroyers with technical standards in the twenties and thirties become the cutting-edge warships of your alliance?

"That is to say, they just say, you don't need to have the same knowledge as them, the above means that the exchange of warships should be unstoppable, but we can't hand over the warships to them so easily, while it is now the wet season, you personally lead the fleet to cooperate with the air force to attack Jiujiang, and the ammunition of the mountain ships in the clear air will be withdrawn." Chief He said with a smile, this warship is indeed good, it is not without shortcomings, not to mention that it is too old, and more importantly, this warship only has ammunition with the ship, and there is not even a spare gun barrel.

Moreover, according to the meaning of the other party, the follow-up supply of this six-inch artillery shell cannot be guaranteed, and even, parts and components will not work, it is obvious that this warship is also a unique product in the hands of the other party, and if you want to maintain this warship, you can only rely on the government to find a way, but what can the government do? Not to mention the shells of the six-inch gun, the government has not been able to mass-produce the shells of the four-inch gun until now, and it is not impossible to change them to the alliance instead of waiting for the warship to have problems in the future, but this matter cannot be explained to the outside world

"Chief, do you want to recover Jiujiang?" Commander Chen said with some excitement, the city of Jiujiang is very important to the navy, as long as Jiujiang is recaptured, the large warships of the Japanese army will quickly threaten Hubei Province, and the pressure they face will be sharply reduced, and they can even use Jiujiang as a base to attack Jinling, Jinling, that is the national capital, the real national capital, where the mausoleum of the father of the nation is located.

"Not for the time being, the headquarters of the 11th Army did not move into Nanchang as we thought, but was directly stationed in Jiujiang, and relied on Jiujiang to establish a solid defense system, and the army still needs time to replenish troops, weapons and ammunition." Chief He shook his head slightly, the Nationalist Army in the Eastern Sichuan Campaign had indeed achieved an unprecedented victory, but it was only a disastrous victory, especially in the Ninth Theater, the main force suffered almost half of the casualties, ammunition and fuel were even more exhausted, and the proud tank troops had lost more than eighty percent, and in this case they simply had no ability to launch a new offensive.

Li Yunlong's new First Army looks good, and the losses on the surface are not large, but the provisional 68th Division, which is the main force, has been scattered in the northern Hubei region, and there is only one provisional 69th Division and the 71st Provisional Division in Wuchang, and the provisional 70th Division has already gone north to resist the Japanese army that may move south, and the other troops in the Sixth Theater, well, they are still reorganized in the eastern Hubei region, there are scattered national troops, there are surrendered puppet troops, and there are various guerrilla forces and bandit forces that were originally active in the northern part of Hubei Province. Xiao Zhuge who was in charge of the reorganization shouted several times that he wanted to pick a child.

Another change is that the Japanese Peace Army has also snowballed after this battle, and the Japanese Peace Army, which originally had only more than 10,000 people, has now expanded to 40,000 people, although more than half of them are expatriates and Korean soldiers, but it is definitely a force to be reckoned with.

"I'm in a hurry, but I still have to strengthen my training and accumulate strength." Commander Chen smiled self-deprecatingly, he was a little taken for granted, not to mention the army, that is, their navy is not the same, there is no combat effectiveness at all, otherwise, he would not personally sit on this cruiser, no way, I am really worried that the warship that I finally got will be lost before it goes to the battlefield.

"Training, training, the navy must intensify its training, especially the torpedo boat unit, and it must form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, and the Central Military Commission is already planning to set up a torpedo boat unit headquarters along the coast of Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Zhejiang, and Shandong. Chief He patted Commander Chen's shoulder meaningfully, saying that the Republic of China does not attach importance to the navy, but few people know that since the Jinan Incident in 1928, the government has been planning a war against Japan, and in the situation at that time, it would not play a role in giving all the funds to the navy.

"The G-5 torpedo boat is very advanced, but it also has a weak underbelly, that is, the range is insufficient, is it possible to consider adding some large warships?" Commander Chen nodded, still a little unrelenting, torpedo boats are indeed a weapon with a high exchange ratio, but it is also a weapon that does not have any survivability in naval battles, just like those G-5 torpedo boats, the 1125 patrol boats in his hands can be easily sunk.

"Don't worry, there will be, the government is negotiating a currency swap with Hans, if it goes well, the Union's debt will be paid off soon, and then there will be money to develop the navy." Chief Ho said mysteriously that as one of the few people in the know, he and the highest authorities believed that it was the victory of the army that had changed the policy of the Hans government, and now they were thinking of making a new diplomatic breakthrough.

"Chief, is this true?" Admiral Chen remembered that he heard that the fiat currency had appreciated again in the morning, it seems that this news may have been used by someone with a heart a long time ago, and it is even likely that it was instructed by the highest authority himself, but he knows that Uncle Guo has a pool of funds independent of the Ministry of Finance in his hands, and the scale is still very large.

"It must be true, the first part of the Sichuan Army has recently entered the plateau westward, to strengthen the border between us and the British Tianzhu colony, and everything is developing in a good way." Minister Ho continued, the strengthening of border defense is certainly real, and the threat to the Britons is also real, and Hans has extended an olive branch, and the government naturally wants to show something.

This can not only please Hans, but also force Britain and Bald Eagle to increase the intensity of assistance, Nima, has always been the same as sending food, picking and searching, okay, you don't want to give benefits, let's figure out our own way, anyway, we have millions of troops, if we are in a hurry, we will cooperate with the Japanese, millions of troops will be scattered, no one in Asia can do it,
