E: I made a low-level mistake in the last chapter and made the Yellow Emperor's wife wrong. It should be the ancestor and mother-in-law, not the female Ying and the emperor. Accidentally let Shun be nTB, solid ...... It's been changed, thanks to the book friend for catching insects. I'm sorry, but my brain must have been caught in the door......

On June 2, 254 (1913), the waters of the Diaoyu Islands.

This is the site of the Battle of the Diaoyu Islands more than two months ago, where hundreds of thousands of tons of steel from China and Japan collided violently, rendering it an asura field filled with steel, fire and flesh.

Even now, after the end of the war, there are still dozens of ships busy in this sea area. Naturally, they are here not for war, but for salvage.

Yes, they are salvaging those warships sunk by Japan, and not only this one, but also such a salvage team is busy in the waters of Zhoushan, another main battlefield.

The largest ships in the salvage team are two 30,000-ton floating docks, and a 20,000-ton semi-submersible salvage ship, followed by two 10,000-ton floating docks, as well as several 1,000-5,000-ton professional salvage vessels, and some auxiliary vessels.

On the periphery of the salvage team, several light ships of the Chinese Navy are on escort duty.

The flagship of this convoy is the destroyer Jiujiang, the second of the Zhuhai-class destroyers, a new ship that was commissioned only last month and did not catch up with the decisive battle between China and Japan in the East China Sea.

The Jiujiang is not only a new ship, but also a new person, and the officers and men on board are also new. The captain of this ship was Comrade Li Ang, who had just been promoted to lieutenant commander of the navy, and soon after the decisive battle in the East China Sea, Li Ang, who served as the captain and assistant to the captain of the ship on the Fuxi, was promoted to lieutenant commander and sent to the destroyer as captain. According to naval practice, only officers who have served as captains of light ships can rise quickly and highly, and only then will they have the opportunity to serve as captains of large ships.

In addition, the captain of the Jiujiang is only one of his positions, and he currently has another position "Captain of the Ninth Lightning Strike Brigade". At this time, it was this Ninth Lightning Strike Brigade that was responsible for the escort of the salvage team. At present, this group has one Zhuhai-class destroyer, two Wuchang-class frigates, and four agile-class large torpedo boats, making a total of seven ships. According to the Japanese Navy, this is a small mine combat unit.

The agile class large torpedo boat is the first large torpedo boat in China, and the type code is 8B (at present, the type code of the Chinese Navy ship consists of three digits and two parts, the first two digits are the ship identification code, and the last two digits are the design finalization order. The class identification codes are as follows: aircraft carrier oI battleship, large and heavy cruiser O3, light cruiser o4, destroyer o5, frigate uu, frigate and gunboat o7, torpedo boat 6, submarine o9, river ship 1o, minesweeper 1I board 6 ship 2, amphibious combat ship 13, supply ship 14, oil tanker and coal ship 15...... There are a total of 2 codes, and it is generally mentioned that the first nine codes are omitted O, so the model code of the Yu Chao-class aircraft carrier is generally said to be "1O1 type". ）

The Chinese Navy defines torpedo boats as: warships with a standard row of less than 1o6 tons and torpedoes as their main weapon. Therefore, China calls all mine-striking ships under 1o6 tons torpedo boats, regardless of size, and does not divide torpedo boats into several types as some countries do.

The first two of the 8 are small torpedo boats, and the Type 81 "Fast Class" is a modified version of the original World War II American pT boat, with a standard displacement of 6 tons, a maximum voyage of 43 knots, and a cruising range of 15 knots and 6 nautical miles. The main armament was four 6o-mm torpedo tubes, in addition to a 2-mm high-level dual-purpose cannon, two twin 2-mm anti-aircraft machine guns, and six depth charges. Capacity: 13 people.

The Type 82 "Sensitive" is an enlarged version of the Type 81, which is somewhat close to the Type 26 torpedo boat of the former Soviet Union, with a standard displacement of 14o tons, a maximum range of 41 knots, and a cruising range of 15 knots/156 nautical miles. The main armament was six 6o-mm torpedo tubes, two twin 3-mm high-level dual-purpose guns, two twin 2-mm anti-aircraft machine guns, and two depth charges. It is also equipped with a low-power sea/air search radar. Capacity: 2 people.

The Type 81 "Fast Class" and Type 82 "Sensitive Class" are the most numerous torpedo boats at present, because they are simple to build, even some small shipyards at the county and township level can build them, and they can even be built on the beach without even using slipways. The construction period is short, like the Type 81 "fast-class" torpedo boat, if the shipyard is fully equipped and manpower is sufficient, one can be built in ten days and half a month, and the Type 82 "Sensitive" class will not take twenty days.

In the past few years, due to the poor naval force, the construction time of large ships and the formation of troops were relatively long, in order to defend against the foreign powers to launch maritime aggression against China during this interval. On the one hand, he strengthened his air-to-sea forces and overhauled the coastal defense system, and at the same time ordered the construction of such simple and cheap things as torpedo boats. In the past few years, China's shipyards have launched hundreds of torpedo boats, just like dumplings. Among them, the Type 81 "fast-class" torpedo boat was built, the Type 382 "sensitive-class" was built, and 19 were built

Although these two torpedo boats are cheap and easy to build, their tonnage is too small, they can only operate along the coast and near the sea, and their ability to resist wind and waves is also very poor. Moreover, these two torpedo boats did not have spare torpedoes, and they did not have the ability to reload themselves, and when the torpedoes in the torpedo tubes were finished, they had to return to port or be reloaded by the torpedo boat carriers.

Therefore, in 1911, the Wuhan Ship Design Institute designed a large torpedo boat that could operate in the open sea and had a strong ability to resist wind and waves. This is the Type 8-Agility class large torpedo boat.

The Agile class has a standard displacement of 55o tons, a maximum range of 3 knots, and a cruising range of 15 knots of 26o nautical miles. The main armament is 4 twin 6o mm torpedo tubes, arranged on the left and right sides, and has the ability to reload, in addition to the B torpedoes inside the torpedo tubes, there are also B spare torpedoes. Its main guns were two 75 mm high-level dual-purpose guns, two twin 4o mm anti-aircraft guns, two twin 2 mm anti-aircraft machine guns, and a depth charge dropper with six depth charges. It is also equipped with a sea/air search radar and a fire control radar. Capacity: 3 people.

At present, with the end of the Sino-Japanese War, there is a gradual increase in naval power. The Type 81 "Fast" and Type 82 "Sensitive" two small torpedo boats have been greatly slowed down due to their lack of room for improvement and relatively simple use. The "agile-class" large torpedo boats, which have many uses, are very well received by the navy, and can not only release torpedoes, but also serve as gunboats in the work of protecting fishing, anti-smuggling, patrolling, etc., and have strong seaworthiness, and can accompany the fleet in combat, so they have gradually become the main force in torpedo boats.

To date, 6 ships of the Agile class have been served, distributed across various fleets, and more than 3 more are under construction.

At this time, it was noon, and the salvage team stopped their work and began to eat lunch. The officers and men of the 9th Thunderbolt Brigade also began to eat.

On the Jiujiang, a lieutenant asked in the kitchen, "Master Zhang, what are you eating today?" This lieutenant is the captain of the B36 torpedo boat. (The number of the Chinese Navy ships is also similar to the model, consisting of two parts: the ship code and its own number.) "B36" means that this is a torpedo boat in the 3rd service. ）

Because the tonnage of the agile class is small, there is no special kitchen, there is only a boiling water room, which has an electric stove for boiling water, of course, it can also be used to cook semi-finished foods such as noodles and frozen dumplings, but it is impossible to eat well. If these torpedo boats were to carry out a long-lasting task alone, the officers and men above would be more miserable, and they would have to eat canned food with boiling water. Therefore, as long as there is a formation, the commanders and fighters on the torpedo boats will run to the big ship to "rub the rice" to eat.

This time was no exception, and the officers and men on the torpedo boat also ran to the Jiujiang to eat.

Master Zhang was the cooking squad leader on the Jiujiang ship, and he replied without looking back: "The old rules, six dishes and one soup, three meat and three vegetables." Cold bean sprouts, wine-stuffed eggplant, braised winter melon with golden hook, braised fat sausage, stir-fried shredded beef with carrots, home-style squid, mushroom and bamboo shoot bone broth. The main dishes are rice, steamed buns, and navy buns, and the dessert is yuzu and ice cream. Captain Wang, you 36 boats are ready, and you will send someone to the dining room to move ......."

"Oh, thank you, Master Zhang, I'll tell the brothers to move the ......" Captain Wang was overjoyed and ran away.

Leon didn't go to the restaurant, he was still looking at the wreckage of the warship that had just been salvaged on the semi-submersible salvage ship.

"Captain, are you going to have your lunch delivered?" asked a non-commissioned officer on duty.

"I don't need to eat, just send me a few navy buns. Leon said.

After a while, the non-commissioned officer brought him a steaming plate of navy buns and a cup of hot soup. This navy bun looks a bit like Japanese sushi, and the bun is also wrapped in seaweed. This dish is a new breed created by the chefs of the navy, and its zuò is indeed inspired by sushi.

Its prototype is Sichuan's famous dim sum "Ye'erba", because the commander-in-chief of the navy, Wang Tiezhu, likes this food, so he introduced it to the navy. However, there are not 6 places on the ship, and it is difficult to find lotus leaf packages, so a chef has an idea, and he replaces lotus leaves with seaweed that is common on the seaside, and at the same time increases the type of filling from simple pork to more than a dozen, so it has become a well-received "navy bun". Because the bun is wrapped in seaweed on the outside, it will not stain your hands when you eat it, and you can eat it at any time when you are working, and you don't even have to lose the original leaves, and you can eat the seaweed directly, which is really convenient and hygienic

Li Ang picked up a bun and ate it while holding a copy of the "Illustrated Guide to Ships of Various Countries" and looking at it.

"Well, this should be the Katori, it's almost unrecognizable, and I don't know if it can be repaired......" Leon looked at it for a long time before he confirmed the identity of the wreck in front of him.

"Captain, according to me, I'm afraid this is mysterious. The deputy captain was holding a lunch box next to him, and he was also watching while eating, and when he heard Li Ang's muttering, he interjected: "We beat it too hard, you can see that its ass is completely turned over, this is a torpedo to burst chrysanthemum...... If the damage is so strict, I'm afraid it won't be repaired. ”

Li Ang also sighed: "Hey, it's a pity that such a big ship can only be taken back to dismantle scrap iron and return to the furnace." However, these warships are all good steel, and there are hundreds of thousands of tons to catch......"

The deputy captain said indignantly: "If it weren't for the hateful British Yankees this time, we would have been able to compensate for the four King Kong-class." So we have to fish for the sunken ship now......"

"That's no way, they have an Anglo-Japanese alliance, they definitely won't be cheap to us. Our current navy still can't compare with Britain, and with the joint pressure of the Entente, we have to give up this condition......" Li Ang also sighed.

Japan still has four Kongo-class battlecruisers, two of which have been completed and have now returned to Japan, and two of Japan's own construction have been launched and are being outfitted. It turned out that Wen Desi's wishful thinking was to let Japan use the four King Kong class to offset the reparations, but the Japanese did not agree, and the British also strongly objected.

However, Mr. Wen thought about it and felt unwilling, so he ordered to fish up those Japanese warships that were sunk in the war to see if there was any possibility of repair, even if it could not be repaired, it could be dismantled scrap iron, the steel used in warships was all high-quality steel, and it would be a pity if these hundreds of thousands of tons of good steel were left to rust. Anyway, the water depth around Diaoyu Island and Zhoushan is relatively shallow, and it is still very easy to salvage. Besides, it can also let the salvage boats practice their hands by the way.

Although the great powers did not say anything about China's approach, they were also very bad behind their backs, especially Niu Niu, whose First Sea Minister Fisher ridiculed that this was "picking up rags".

The salvage team determines the salvage order according to the complete course of the ship's hull, and they first send people into the water to observe, and after determining the complete course of each ship, they start the salvage with the most complete one.

In general, the harvest of this salvage operation is still not large, among the wrecks fished up in front, only the Satsuma, Hizen and Iwami are relatively intact, and it is possible to repair, but more of them are damaged and strictly zhòng, and it is basically impossible to repair. As for those that are broken into two or several pieces, it goes without saying that they can only be dismantled and recycled.

Although the Chinese Navy has won, its current strength is still very limited, mainly in the number of large ships, which is completely incomparable with the old powers, especially Wagyu Niu. Therefore, the officers and men of the Navy began to have great hopes for this salvage operation, hoping to win back a few more large ships from the sea. But the reality is very skinny, Li Ang and they rushed over to guard the salvage team, except for the Satsuma salvaged on the first day, which was relatively complete and could be sent to the shipyard for further testing, and the Shikishima and Settsu fished out later have been judged by experts to have no repair value, which made them very disappointed.

The political commissar of the brigade also sighed beside him: "Hey, in the Russo-Japanese naval war that year, the little devils fished up many of Maozi's boats and repaired them, why didn't our luck be so good?"

"Hey, let's fight too hard...... "Li Ang said a little depressedly, "The main thing is that the torpedo is too ruthless." According to the experts, most of the hulls of those who were torpedoed were damaged and basically could not be saved. Even if those ships are barely repaired, the cost is too great, and the performance will be greatly reduced, so it is better to build new ships. ”

In this decisive battle in the East China Sea, China captured a total of three battleships (Hanoi, Zhoufang, and Sagami), one armored cruiser Hesu), one protective cruiser (Hirado), and eight destroyers (Lian, Yangyan, Boyun, Shanfeng, Bailu, Baixue, Songfeng, and Chaofeng), all of which were wounded, and some were very strict, all of which were docked for overhaul. Now the docks of Jiangnan Shipyard and Mawei Shipyard are occupied by these broken ships.

At this time, the radio signal sounded, and it was the salvage team coming.

The communications non-commissioned officer picked up the headset and listened to it for a while, then shouted happily: "Just now, the divers of the salvage team came up to report that the Kashima is relatively complete, except for two big holes in the bottom of the ship, the hull is still intact......

"It's hard to say now, but when they catch it, they won't know that they can't see it clearly underwater. Li Ang and a few other officers didn't seem too happy, because there were already examples in front of them, and they looked relatively intact underwater, but when they were salvaged, they were structurally damaged and didn't make a head. After Sora rejoiced a few times, everyone had immunity

Next, the salvage team was busy for more than half a month before they were able to fish up all the nearby sunken ships. Finally, after an inspection of the shipyard, it was found that the four large warships that still had the value of restoration were the four battleships Satsuma, Hizen, Iwami and Kashima, as well as the three armored cruisers Kurama, Ikoma and Iwate, and two protective cruisers Shintaka and Tsushima.

These warships are all relatively old warships, and they are bad, and even if they are repaired, they can only be used as training ships. But it's better than nothing.

In addition, Wen Deji also ordered that none of these warships obtained from Japan should be renamed against, and what names they were called in Japan and what they were still called in China, in order to retaliate against the same things that Japan had done back then. After the Sino-Japanese War of that year, the warships of the Beiyang Naval Division, with Dingyuan and Zhenyuan as the votes, became Japanese trophies, and Japan deliberately did not change the name of the ships in order to show off its victory and humiliate the Chinese.

It's a pity that several Beiyang warships such as Dingyuan, Zhenyuan and Pingyuan were all sunk in the Russo-Japanese War, or Wen Deji would definitely want the Japanese to return all those ships. But now that I have built so many ships, it can be regarded as revenge. After these ships are repaired, they will all be put together and form a special fleet to visit Japan and vent their evil spirits.
