"Fu Shuai, the Fourth Fleet does not yet have an aircraft carrier. I heard that the Jiangnan Shipbuilding Group's aircraft carrier converted from a battle cruiser has not yet decided on its destination. I don't like to boast, but the Navy's imaginary enemy can only be Japan, and the Fourth Fleet is

Targeting Nanyang, the resources of Nanyang cannot be overstated for the Japanese navy. Oil, rubber, and rare metals are all indispensable materials for Japanese military production. If you can equip the Fourth Fleet with an aircraft carrier,

The entire Nanyang route is under the threat of our aircraft carrier aircraft." Chen Ce used a sharp tongue to sell his theory of the importance of Nanyang's strategic position. Battleships are restricted by the Washington Naval Treaty, and the tonnage obtained by the four major fleets

There is basically no hope of getting them to spit it out. No matter how good the relationship is, they will not give up a single tonnage. Especially that guy Chen Shaokuan, who wants to recruit all the battle patrols in the navy into his third fleet.

Fang Jianxiong listened with a smile. Chen Ce thought it was funny and continued to pester: "Fushuai, look. The second fleet, which is the most powerful at the moment, has four battlecruisers. The tonnage of the battlecruisers is as high as more than seven tons. The first fleet also has

Two big ships close to 30,000 tons, even the Third Fleet is stronger than the Fourth Fleet, and the two battle cruisers bought by the British are more than four tons."

"Okay, stop it. The tonnage of the aircraft carrier is only that much. The aircraft carriers under construction at Jiangnan Shipbuilding can only be handed over to the strongest Second Fleet to first be used to train a combat-effective aircraft carrier formation. Let me tell you this,

Aircraft carriers are currently a new thing, and the Navy needs time to explore and hone aircraft carrier tactics. Don’t worry about it, the big guys at the Navy Department will never agree. Okay, let me give you another naval flying group organization. This ship

Don’t worry about aircraft carriers. The Navy still has two Qingdao-class battle cruisers built in the United States that need to be converted into aircraft carriers. You can wait patiently for two years.”

Chen Ce didn't want to wait for a moment. The four major fleets of the navy only had so many resources. There were quick hands and slow hands. The problem was that Fang Jianxiong had already reached this point, and Chen Ce had no choice but to accept it. Thinking about it carefully, he was still helpless.

Who made Tang Xiangming join Marshal Fang in the first place, not to mention having an elder brother who is the president? This is the case in China, sometimes favors are too great. The Second Fleet has always been the main fleet of the Chinese Navy, stationed in

Shanghai, where it is anchored, is also China’s largest free trade zone and the lifeblood of its foreign economy.

When the helpless Chen Ce could only hope to accept the reality, Fang Jianxiong suddenly thought of a question, and after thinking for a while, he said: "By the way, Shen Honglie's 1st Marine Division should be transferred from Taiwan to Hainan in turn, and trained in Hainan to adapt to the tropics.

climate."

Marshal Fang looked very awkward. Chen Ce couldn't keep pestering him, so he had to say a few words. The establishment of the Marine Corps initially had only one brigade. It was Fang Jianxiong who advocated it, and the entire navy also

I am very supportive. Mainly because of the competition between the army and the navy. Every country has this virtue. However, now that there is an extra popular air force, it has reduced the already poor military expenditure. Generally speaking, the army has always been

He is the boss, and he thinks he is the boss. The entire Republic of China was conquered by the army, so it is reasonable for the army to be awesome. The problem is that the navy does not buy it, so you say you are the one who attacked it? When Qingdao attacked Japan, why didn't the army go to sea to fight?

Battleships? Of course the Army has to retaliate. No matter how powerful the Navy is, even if the battleships can’t get ashore, it’s the Army that really solves the problem. So the Navy is thinking about making the Marine Corps larger. With ground troops in hand, what needs is there?

There is no need to enlist the army for landing operations.

So the Navy tried every possible means to expand the Marine Corps. The Navy and Army at the Ministry of National Defense quarreled and sarcastic with each other all day long. Anyway, the Army just couldn't see the Marine Corps expanding. After Huang Xing retired due to illness, the current Minister of National Defense Duan Qirui supported the Army.

, so the scale of the Marine Corps has not improved. Sa Zhenbing went out of his way to slam the table at the Central Military Commission meeting, and relied on his seniority to organize the Marine Brigade into a Marine Division. The bitterness of this is not enough for outsiders to understand.

Most of the time, Fang Jianxiong sticks to his word in the military. When it comes to military establishment, he is still very democratic. This is also the reason why the size of the Marine Corps has not been expanded. According to the Navy's wishes, it can't wait to get rid of the Marine Corps.

Ten or eight divisions are coming.

In fact, Fang Jianxiong is also willing to expand the size of the Marine Corps. The problem is that military expenditures are tight. The Navy is already burning money, and the construction of new aircraft carriers has been delayed. Instead, it converted the original battle cruisers into aircraft carriers. Isn't it just to save money?

Of course, the cost will not be much less, it just means you can save a little bit.

This Marine Corps is directly under the Ministry of the Navy and is currently stationed in Taiwan. When it comes to taking back Taiwan, there was a lot of controversy within Japan at first. The Japanese Navy was struggling between the oil in Sakhalin Island and the strategic position of Taiwan, while the Japanese Army

Obsessed with the strategy of advancing north, some die-hards in the military refused to let go of the mainland policy. Japan's Hara Kei cabinet had a headache in order to establish good relations with China.

In short, the reasons are very complicated. At one time, the Japanese navy opposed the army's strategy to oppose the northward advance strategy. In the end, under the pressure of Britain, the United States and France, and under the temptation of oil and Far Eastern land, China and Japan reached an agreement.

Of course, the Northern Movement played a huge role. The Japanese Army could not defeat the Chinese Army, and it could not defeat Russia? Watching the Chinese Army help Belarus fight to Omsk, the eyes of the Japanese military department were red.

Of course, these things are all over now. Because of the takeover of Taiwan, the entire Japanese maritime transportation line was exposed under the nose of the Chinese navy. No matter how you calculate it, you have made a profit. The Japanese cabinet, navy and army also feel that they have made a profit.

Having 500,000 tons of oil in your hands every year is a peace of mind. In parallel history, Japan's seemingly powerful navy had to count every drop of oil when setting sail. It was completely poor. That is, in the 30s of the Republic of China.

In 2006, the country had never been unified in the true sense and had been struggling with endless civil strife. Only then was it left far behind by Japan. In this sense, the incompetence of the Beiyang Group headed by Yuan Shikai in history can be clearly understood.

of.

After the signing of the Washington Naval Treaty, the development of the Chinese navy also fell into a slow stage. In the early years, it bought four battle cruisers from the United States, later built two of its own, and later bought five old battle cruisers from the United Kingdom.

The tonnage of 200,000 tons has long been exceeded. We had no choice but to convert the two Qingdao ships ordered from the United States and one battle cruiser class purchased from the United Kingdom into aircraft carriers, so that we could maintain the current level at 200,000 tons.

The shipbuilding industry in the Republic of China did not retreat because of this. Instead, it ushered in new development opportunities after switching to civilian use. Under the deliberate guidance of the government, China's ocean shipping industry developed rapidly. The development of industry requires energy, and oil is China's largest import item, followed by

Food. Because of the good relations between China and the United States and the low cost of shipping, a large amount of oil and food are shipped from the United States to China. In turn, light industrial products and some unique products made in China rely on extremely cheap costs and are also smoothly transported.

With the opening of the U.S. market, Sino-U.S. trade has rapidly heated up, which in turn has stimulated the development of China's ocean shipping. The four seaport cities of Shanghai, Qingdao, Zhanjiang, and Qinzhou have experienced rapid economic development due to the development of shipbuilding and shipping.

Therefore, regardless of the fact that the navy does not build many warships, in fact, once a war breaks out, it can convert civilian shipbuilding capabilities into military use within half a year. As far as the shipbuilding industry is concerned, China's current capabilities have surpassed Japan's. The shortcoming lies in the accumulation of technology.

In terms of the power system, due to the conservative nature of Western technology, the material synthesis and precision processing capabilities are still far behind. However, in the past two years, due to the large-scale cooperation between the Germans, these shortcomings have been supplemented to a certain extent.

Whenever he thinks about the lack of talent and technology accumulation, Fang Jianxiong laments helplessly in his heart that plug-ins are not omnipotent.

Sanya is now a small fishing village. If it were not for the distortion of history, Sanya may not have changed much in another fifty years. Fang Jianxiong’s destination is the Yulin Military Port, a simple civilian Sanya Port that benefited from the birth of the rubber industry.

.

When we landed at Yulin Port, it was already noon. The submarine force, the most special branch of the navy, had its original headquarters in Shanghai and has now moved to Yulin. Chen Fu's military rank has also changed from colonel to rear admiral, even within the Navy Department

, Chen Fu also didn't buy anyone's account, he just listened to Marshal Fang anyway, and it was all in vain for anyone to come.

The navy officials could only ignore Chen Fu's behavior. Chen Fu had a bad relationship with the big bosses of the Navy, but he had a good relationship with Chen Shaokuan and Chen Ce.

"I have seen Fu Shuai in my humble position!" Chen Fu stood at attention on the dock and saluted. Fang Jianxiong stepped forward with a smile on his face, shook hands with a group of people from the submarine force and spoke to them, saying a few comforting words such as "Thank you for your hard work, take care of yourself."

. Then he got on the off-road vehicle prepared by Chen Fu and rushed towards Tiandu. At this time, Tiandu was just a small village. The hybrid rice research team of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences chose Tiandu as the experimental field mainly because of its fancy.

This place is like spring all year round, and it is close to the Yulin Military Port, so transportation is convenient.

The off-road vehicle was bumpy on the dirt road heading to Tiandu. The dirt road was paved with a layer of fine sand and looked flat. However, when running, it was filled with smoke and dust, bumping up and down, which was very hard on people's buttocks. Fang Jianxiong was surprised to see something on the side of the road.

A construction team was building a narrow-gauge railway and immediately said to the driver: "Stop."

Chen Fu, who was accompanying him, quickly asked: "Fushuai, what are your instructions?" Fang Jianxiong pointed at the construction team 150 meters away and said, "What do these people do?" Chen Fu glanced at it and said with a smile: "Mining people.

, Tiandu has iron ore, the reserves are not large, but the quality is very high. I sent people to check, they are from Shanghai, and the leader is a man named Zhu Jiahua. He used to be a member of the Kuomintang, but he resigned because he was dissatisfied with some of the actions of the Kuomintang.
