This time, it was not only the guests from all over the world who were invited to participate in the parade, but also many reporters from all over the world who rushed to attend the parade. They also took this special train to Shanghai with guests from all over the world.

"The window of the carriage in China can only be opened halfway, which is really inconvenient. The windows of our French trains can be opened casually...... "A French reporter in the press car said very unpleasantly.

His companion smiled and said, "Didn't you listen to the conductor just now? Their train is too fast, for the safety of passengers, so you can't just open the windows like the previous trains......

"This kind of window is safe, but it's not convenient for me to take pictures, you know, the effect is not good through the glass......," the French reporter held a Chinese-made seagull camera in his hand, looking at the window helplessly.

"The windows of the viewing windows at both ends of the carriage can be fully opened, you go over there to shoot. His companion said disapprovingly, and continued to write his manuscript. Anyway, he is a text reporter, so he doesn't need to take pictures, and the confusion of his companions can't affect him.

"Hmph, I've been there a long time ago, and the windows on both sides are full of people. Those Japanese dwarfs have been standing there since they got on the bus, and I've seen them a few times, and it's really unreasonable......," the photojournalist said angrily. After getting on the train, they kept standing next to the viewing windows at both ends of the carriage, firmly occupying this "feng shui treasure" for photography.

"Alright, stop complaining. I'll let you go, just stand in your seat and shoot......" The companion rolled his eyes and took the written manuscript paper to get out of the way. The photojournalist thanked him and stood up with a happy face.

Not long after the photojournalist stood up, he exclaimed in surprise: "Oh, Del Lang, look at the other side, there are so many cars! The whole train is loaded with Jiefang trucks...... and he raised his camera to shoot hard.

Dar Long turned his head to see a train of wagons parked on the opposite railroad, and the double-decker flatbed trucks were all carrying Jiefang-14 trucks. In fact, this thing is the classic model "Jiefang CA141" of the original time and space, which was born in 1914, 70 years earlier than the original time and space. Taking advantage of the European competition, this truck is famous all over the world. In total, the warring sides imported more than 400,000 of these high-performance trucks from China.

"This kind of truck is quite good, we imported more than 100,000 in France alone. I heard that the Germans bought more......" Del Lang counted the trucks opposite: "A double-decker flatbed truck transports 8 trucks, a total of 30 flatbeds, good guys, this train transports 240 liberation trucks......"

At this time, the radio on the train sounded: "This train is about to arrive in Shanghai ......"

"International friends" are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, although they are all the same special train, but the carriages are definitely different.

Like the Tsar's family, the vice president of the United States, the French prime minister, the crown prince brother of Britain and Japan, the family of the Austrian emperor, etc., the heads of state and representatives of these first-class powers are all sitting in the special class A luxury carriage, also known as the "royal carriage", this kind of carriage is according to the five-star hotel layout and decoration, a carriage is a set, in addition to the basic bedroom and bathroom, there are reception rooms, restaurants, fitness rooms, entertainment rooms, study rooms, baths, saunas, cinemas and other facilities, each carriage of service staff more than passengers.

In fact, it is a special class B luxury car, and the layout and decoration of the same five-star hotel is less space than that of special class A. A carriage is divided into four sets, each divided into two floors, the upper level is the bedroom and study, and the lower level is the reception room, dining room, toilet and bathroom. Of course, there are also TVs, VCRs, radios, air conditioners and other equipment, in addition to not being as luxurious as the Grand Luxury Carriage, it is also very comfortable. Representatives of small countries or people of a slightly inferior status who came this time sat in this kind of carriage.

The second is the first class carriage, each carriage is divided into two floors with a total of 20 private compartments, each compartment has a bed, table, chair, wardrobe, and a separate bathroom. In the middle of the carriage there is a public event hall and dining room, which is where ordinary entourage sit.

The special class A and the special class B are both high-level special trains, and the railway passenger companies that operate to the outside world are not equipped with them, because ordinary people will not be willing to sit. Of course, China can now buy trains privately, and if it is a local tyrant, you can go to the carriage factory to order it yourself, and you can play as you want.

Among the buses in normal operation, the first-class car is the highest level, because it is a single room per person, which is also called a private room car. The second is the second-class sleeper car, which is equivalent to the soft sleeper car of the original time and space and the future generations. The most is the third-class sleeper, which is equivalent to the hard sleeper in later generations. Because the track gauge of the original plane is wide, the carriage is larger, whether it is a soft sleeper or a hard sleeper, the personal space is much larger than that of similar carriages in the original time and space.

Short-distance tickets are also divided into soft seats and hard seats, this time these reporters are sitting in soft seats, and the last three carriages of the special train are all loaded with reporters.

There is also the worst kind of carriage is the "substitute bus", also called the "stuffy tank car". That is, the use of railway boxcars after simple modification to replace passenger cars, which is the product of certain historical conditions, is produced under the condition that the number of railway passenger cars can not meet the large-scale transportation of personnel. At present, although China is holding back its efforts to engage in construction, after all, the time is too short, the founding of the People's Republic of China has only been ten years, and there are still many lines that are not enough regular buses, so they can only temporarily use "stuffy tank trucks" to hold on. Sitting in this kind of car is certainly not as comfortable as taking a regular bus, its only advantage is probably that it is cheap, the same mileage, the fare is only half of the hard-seat car. Although the living standards and income of the Chinese people are much higher than before, some people who are used to living a hard life are still reluctant to spend more money to make themselves comfortable. Therefore, this kind of cheap "stuffy tanker" is still sought after by many people such as old buckles and so on.

........................................................................

On October 6, 2761 (1920), off the coast of Shanghai Port.

Since yesterday afternoon, the Chinese Navy has cleared this area, while dozens of submarines and hundreds of airships have also carried out vigilant patrols around it.

Beginning at 6 o'clock this morning, Chinese warships have sailed to this sea area one after another, taking the type of ship as the standard, and lining up in a neat and orderly line according to the predetermined position.

For a time, there were thousands of ships outside the port of Shanghai, and the ships were like mountains and trees. It brings together 22 super dreadnoughts of the Chinese Navy, including eight of the Fuxi-class, two of the Qinling-class, and four each of the Sunwu-class, Lijing-class and Yuefei-class. Li Jing's class is actually the third and fourth batch of Sun Wu's class, and because of the big changes, it is listed as a separate level.

The hull, armor and layout of the Li Jing class are similar to those of the Sun Wu class, and the main changes are that the hull has been lengthened, the foredeck slope has been canceled, and the flat deck has been adjusted. The position of the three front-mounted guns has been adjusted so that the second and first main turrets are at the same level, and the third and second turrets are in a piggyback layout. In other words, the side projection of the three turrets of the Sun Wu class is "one-two-three", while the side projection of the Li Jing-class turret is "one-one-two".

If you look at it from the front of the bow, the Sun Wu class can see all 12 main guns, while the Li Jing class can only see the main guns of the No. 1 and No. 3 turrets, of course, because the front deck of the Sun Wu class is a slope with an arc, which looks like a 90-degree left turn "(", the No. 1 turret is located at the bottom of the slope, so the position of the relative No. 3 turret is not very high.

In addition, the power system, electronic system and fire control system were also greatly changed, and the main gun was replaced with three quadruple 390 mm 50 x diameter naval guns and three triple 420 mm 50 x diameter naval guns. There is also a modification of the bridge design, and the shape has changed a lot.

The reason for such a big modification is that the position of the No. 1 turret of the Sun Wu class is too low, and it is easy to be submerged by the bow wave in high sea conditions. Of course, it doesn't matter if you go to the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean, you will be embarrassed, and you will have to wash the barrels every day.

However, after such a change, the seaworthiness of the Li Jing class has increased significantly, and it is more suitable for high sea state environments than the Sun Wu class, and the shooting accuracy has also improved. Of course, the displacement has also increased by 4,000 tons compared with the Sun Wu class, and the standard displacement has reached 49,000 tons.

The first two ships of the Li Jing class, the Li Jing and the Tian Sui Tho, were put into active service in August and September 1918. The latter two ships, the Captain and the Yellowstone, were put into active service in May and June 1919. Although they all caught up with the tail of World War I, they did not have the opportunity to participate in the decisive battle of the battle line, and at the time of the decisive battle in the Mediterranean, Li Jing and Tian Sui Tho were still training in China and were not sent out. After the Battle of the Mediterranean, there were no large-scale naval battles between the warring parties.

The four Li Jing-class ships that did not have a chance to be used were followed by the Grand Fleet in World War I, and as the captain of the aircraft carrier, they followed the escort fleet to gain experience, and their 420 mm main guns did not even fire a single shot. There is no chance at all, the Italian-Austrian fleet has been destroyed. After the Battle of the Faroe Islands, the German High Seas Fleet also shrank in the North Sea.

As for the four Yuefei-class, they have just been completed in August this year, and they have not yet completed sea trials. To be precise, they are not yet active ships of the Chinese Navy.

At present, the 22 battleships flying the banner of "wheels run over the blood all over the ground" are all bowed to the north, lined up in a horizontal line on the sea, waiting for the upcoming parade.

The battleships are not all of the Chinese Navy, there are still three trophy ships that have not appeared, and the Hanoi from Japan has now been relegated to the second line, as a training ship, and is currently training rookies in the South China Sea. The United Reich and Andrea Doria, the trophies of the Great War in the Mediterranean, are now in the dockyard of the Canton Ship, undergoing major renovations.

"It's a shame that the three dreadnoughts of the United Forces, the Prinz Eugen, and the Julio Caesar were all sold, otherwise we would now have 28 battleships above the dreadnought......

"The performance of those three battleships is not very good, and Xu Gong of Guangchuan said that the foundation of these ships is too poor to be changed. If you think about it, the Hanoi has been relegated to the second line to be used as a training ship, and the three ships of the combined forces are no better, even if they stay, they will be used as training ships. It's a waste of resources, it's better to sell it. ”

"Luckily, our captive Ellie stayed......"

On the Yue Fei, several naval officers laughed.

The three dreadnoughts captured in the Battle of the Mediterranean were not valued by the Chinese Navy because of their insufficient performance and little potential for improvement, and were finally sold to the British, who were in dire need of battleships. In exchange for the purchase of warships, in addition to £1 million in supplies, Britain opened mines in Canada, Australia, India and South Africa to China, allowing Chinese companies to buy land to build factories, as well as for exploration and mining, at the same tax rate as local companies, and allowing China to send permanent staff to these places.

The United Empire and Andrea Doria, two super-dreadnoughts, were not bad in design and performance, and there was a lot of room for improvement, so they were left for their own use. However, these two ships do not quite meet the performance requirements of the Chinese Navy, and they also need to be overhauled before they can come in handy. The renovation of these two super-dreadnoughts is a major project, which needs to be disemboweled, and it will be completed next year.

Because these two battleships have not yet been officially named, they are still called by their original names for the time being, because their original names are a bit long, and they are automatically simplified by everyone. The United Empire was okay, but it was simply called the "Empire", and the Andrea Doria was completely changed beyond recognition, originally it was abbreviated by everyone as the "Amway", but later, I don't know if it was out of tune or what, it turned out to be "Ellie".

........................................................................

At 10:30 a.m., Wen Desi and other central leaders, guests and reporters from various countries on the "Oriental Pearl" and other three luxury cruise ships slowly sailed out of Shanghai Port, when the three school review ships sailed out of Shanghai Port, the Chinese Navy's flagship "Sun Wu" first fired a salute, and then all the reference ships fired 21 guns at the same time according to the prescribed time intervals.

Suddenly, the rumbling sound of cannons resounded through the blue sea, and the billowing smoke filled the blue sky. Subsequently, the "Oriental Pearl" arrived at the place of review 5 kilometers outside the port, and the parade officially began.

A total of 372 ships were paraded, and the ships above the destroyer class were arranged in seven rows according to their types. The first line is 22 battleships, the second line is 15 regular aircraft carriers, 2 airship carriers, 4 seaplane carriers, and 6 amphibious assault ships. The third row is 24 heavy cruisers, the fourth and fifth lines are 55 light cruisers, followed by destroyers and large amphibious and auxiliary ships.

Wen Desi took the "Oriental Pearl" luxury cruise ship to review the warships one by one, and every time they arrived, the ship's band played the British national anthem and the national anthem of the country, and the officers and men stood solemnly to salute each ship. As soon as the music was finished, the officers and men saluted the school parade ship together.

After reviewing these large and medium-sized ships, the "Oriental Pearl" stopped. Subsequently, light ships, led by frigates, lined up in a neat queue and sailed past the side of the review ship. A total of more than 200 frigate formations, large torpedo boat formations, torpedo boat formations, submarine formations...... Drive through them one after the other. Next, there is the flight formation of more than 500 land-based aircraft and carrier-based aircraft of the naval aviation, and finally the flight show of carrier-based aircraft.

The spectacular sea parade lasted more than three hours. The number of ships on review and the prosperity of the military appearance are the most in the history of the East. Naturally, the people on the Chinese side were jubilant, while the other powers had a different taste in their hearts.
