Everything is forewarned, and failure to do so leads to failure. The Fengjun Army is also wavering on the issue of whether to dismantle the Baden. Some people believe that a warship with a load of more than 30,000 tons is a huge deterrent in itself. If it can be repaired,
, whether it is a battleship or converted into an aircraft carrier, it can contain Japan's naval power.
This idea is actually very sound, but after careful consideration, Zhang Tinglan finally decided to dismantle the Baden. The Baden's speed was too slow and its armor was too thick. If it was converted into an aircraft carrier, there would be too many areas that needed surgery.
, and the internal damage was serious. Even if it succeeded, the combat effectiveness would be very worrying.
When it comes to army building, Zhang Tinglan has a policy, that is, it is better to be deficient than excessive. It is not terrible to have gaps on the battlefield because other weapons can be used to make up for them. But once an unstable factor appears, it will be troublesome. It cannot be ignored or delegated.
If you take a heavy responsibility, it will become useless, and it is better not to do it.
In order to dismantle this behemoth, which was loaded with more than 30,000 tons, the Huludao Shipyard used a total of more than 700 people. They set up scaffolding outside the battleship early. The busy workers were like ants, using all kinds of tools.
Completely prepared.
Many reporters rushed to the shipyard dock after hearing the news. These reporters had never seen such a huge warship. The largest warships in China's history are Dingyuan and Zhenyuan, which are only 7,000 tons, and 30,000 tons.
It's so huge that it's incomparable.
These reporters couldn't help but take pictures of this big guy who was more than ten stories tall and witnessed the last moments of the maritime overlord. However, they only saw Wu Yulin around the slipway. He was directing the workers and making preparations. Others from Fengjun
There is no big shot left. It can be seen from this that Feng Jun does not value this warship very much.
A reporter even ran up to Wu Yulin and asked with some confusion: "Mr. Wu, China has had no defense against the sea for many years. Now that we have such a big warship, it would be a pity if it was dismantled.
Got it!"
"Journalist friends, first of all, I understand your concern about national defense, but we have no ability to repair such a huge warship. We can't even build it without twenty or thirty years of exploration. Therefore, we cannot play the role of the Baden.
The value of a warship. If this warship is dismantled, a large amount of steel can be used to produce artillery, tanks and armored vehicles, and rails. This is also our purpose."
As Wu Yulin spoke, he glanced at the Baden affectionately: "I believe that sooner or later, the Chinese will be able to build such a powerful warship to surround our vast sea territory."
After finishing speaking, Wu Yulin ignored these reporters and directly issued the order for dismantling, and all the workers took action. From the turret, pieces of steel plates were cut off and then transported away by specialized personnel. The majestic Baden
The battleship completely disintegrated.
All the reporters sighed, but there was nothing they could do. After watching for a while, they all left. Of course, this was only what they saw. In a villa not far from the dock, Zhang Tinglan, Navy Commander Shen Honglie, and Air Force Undersecretary
Feng Yong, everyone gathered in the villa.
Shen Honglie was filled with emotion: "Commander, the Baden has been dismantled. I'm really worried that I won't be able to build the Mackensen. That would be a loss."
Zhang Tinglan also smiled bitterly and said: "We have to take a gamble, but I can make a guarantee here. Even if we can't get it back, our naval construction will not stop. The development must be carried out. I have asked the shipyard to make the most progress." When we are ready, they will purchase a batch of machines from the West in the name of dismantling warships. In fact, these large machines are used to produce warships. Sekter has promised to provide us with some key equipment, but he has set up two The first premise is that German technical personnel must be used, and the second is that the construction of giant ships of 10,000 tons is not allowed."
When Feng Yong heard this, he couldn't help but said: "It's typical for Germans to want to eat but are afraid of burning it. They do everything secretly for fear of letting the British and French know."
"Actually, it's not easy for Germany, and we should be considerate." Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "They are a defeated country after all, so they don't dare to go too far, but to be honest, Germany has helped us a lot. Some time ago, the United States, Britain, France and other countries gave us ample construction Hydropower station, these bastards really have their own ideas, if the Germans don’t help us secretly, we will be plotted!"
Shen Honglie asked hurriedly: "Commander, I heard that the planned Fengman Hydropower Station will be the largest in Asia. Once completed, the abundant power will greatly improve our industrial level, but there must be no problems?"
"The original design drawings of the United States and Britain did not leave room for upgrades of the hydropower station, and the design life of the dam was cut in half. Fortunately, the Germans discovered it and they were able to correct it in time."
"These Westerners really don't have any good stuff, they are just out of ideas. I just hope that we can get the Mackensen back and then transform it into an aircraft carrier and sail across the ocean. They will look very wonderful then."
While he was talking, Chang Yinhuai also rushed over. As soon as he saw Zhang Tinglan, he said: "Commander, as expected, there are indeed many people paying attention to the Baden. They are confirming whether we have really dismantled the warship. .”
Zhang Tinglan sneered: "It would be better if someone pays attention. We will let them act like Jiang Gan who stole the book and shoot themselves in the foot!"
At this point, Zhang Tinglan suddenly laughed and said: "I think we should set up a unit to release these fake news, whether true or false, to confuse the other party."
Chang Yinhuai smiled and said: "Commander, now everyone is thinking about how to guard against death and keep it secret. I didn't expect you to come in front of everyone again and actually want to deceive. You are really smart. I just didn't know the name of this organization. What, and how to set it up?”
At this point, Zhang Tinglan suddenly remembered a famous unit in later generations, so he laughed and said: "Let's call it the Strategic Guild Bureau. This is the name internally. Externally, this unit is hung under the lecture hall and is called the National Defense Strategy Teaching and Research Center. The main purpose is to disseminate national defense knowledge to the outside world and introduce the development trends of military technology."
Chang Yinhuai couldn't help but stretched out his thumb and said with a smile: "Commander, are you going to arrange a group of experts and let them deliberately release some false news?"
Zhang Tinglan laughed loudly: "It's almost like this, but it's not about releasing false news. It's about 70% true and 30% false. We must learn to mislead the other party and lead their intelligence personnel to the wrong route."
"I understand, don't worry, Commander. I promise to get this matter done."
Shen Honglie also appreciated this sudden idea and said with a smile: "Director Chang, this is the time to test the war situation. We must convince the great powers that we are buying warships as scrap steel. "
In a few words of a few people, a great organization was born. Since then, China has had a group of people who specialize in telling lies, and they also turn lies into an art, so that no one can tell the truth from the lies.
With their efforts, they successfully concealed Fengjun's development strategy and deceived the great powers into the point of no return in the arms race. They manipulated the country and made great contributions to the country, but they often suffered from the reputation of talking nonsense. .
Even the always rigorous Jiang Baili had to praise him. Zhan Huju was Fengjun's most powerful trump card. His sharp tongue and sharp teeth were better than a hundred thousand soldiers.
Chang Yinhuai is indeed known for his efficiency. After receiving the task, he hurriedly recruited experts from all fields, including military scholars, masters of international relations, economists, and sociologists. In short, he gathered talents from all fields. .
After everyone's recommendation, the first director fell on Navy Commissioner Zhong Zhao. He had served in the Beiyang Fleet and accompanied Deng Shichang and others to the UK to study the navy. He had a solid academic foundation. After returning to China, he proposed the construction and development of the navy. Got a lot of suggestions.
After the Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War, Director Zhong fell silent for a long time. Later, he was invited out by Feng Jun to visit the thatched cottage and went to the Northeast Martial Arts Lecture Hall, where he was mainly responsible for national strategic courses. Director Zhong was academically profound and humorous, and was unanimously praised by everyone.
After Director Zhong took office, he faithfully fulfilled his mission. He first instructed a scholar to submit a report on the development of the steel industry.
In the report, he listed in detail the amount of steel Fengjun needed and the current gap. He also predicted that as the post-war recovery accelerated, the demand for steel would surge and prices would rise. Therefore, he suggested that Fengjun develop the steel industry. , fill in the gaps.
With the special investigation report as a basis, the army actually put forward a plan to expand its armored forces, and the Ministry of Infrastructure announced a railway development plan.
All of this requires a lot of steel. After the preparations were completed, Director Zhong personally wrote an article and put forward the initiative to purchase more used warships. Director Zhong also accepted interviews from many reporters. He said in a very relaxed and humorous way: "This is like A person eats four steamed buns and is full. But he only has three on hand. What should he do? It is very simple. Just buy one. Some people always think that they will not eat the steamed buns they bought, but will treat them as bricks. Go hit people, isn’t this unfounded worry!”
Director Zhong said while gesturing to reporters: "We have never even seen such a big warship, so how can we build it? The Japanese have just learned to design and build warships by themselves since the Meiji Restoration. It took a total of 40 years. How could the Chinese achieve success in one go? That’s because maritime supremacy is too simple.”
Finally, Director Zhong said meaningfully: "Developing military power is a very good idea. As a veteran soldier, I support it with both hands. However, to develop military power, we must use reliable methods and cannot be whimsical."
"Professor Zhong, what do you think Fengjun's maritime development strategy is?"
Facing questions from foreign reporters, Director Zhong waved his hand: "Don't talk about maritime strategy. Let me tell you why Beiyang failed in the first place. It was because there was no maritime strategy. The Manchus regarded the navy as a hawk to watch over the house. As a result,
After the Beiyang Navy formed an army, it did not expand its warships. In fact, the navy is a powerful force that protects maritime interests. It has to fight outside, so how can it stay at home. Look at Fengjun, there are no warships at all.
, how can we have a maritime strategy? In my lifetime, if we can take good care of the yellow water in front of us, it will be a great blessing."
Director Zhong's profound and powerful deception skills have indeed produced astonishing results. Fengjun obtained these warships just to get some cheap scrap steel. Not only the United Kingdom, but even Japan, which was most afraid of Fengjun, also relaxed its vigilance.
.
After seeing Director Zhong's introduction, some intelligence officers also paid attention to him, and the National Defense Strategy Teaching and Research Center also came into everyone's sight for the first time. This is a research and publicity organization for the military and academics. They mainly go eastward.
The latest military developments are disseminated to the three provinces and even the whole country.
In the eyes of these intelligence officers, this is definitely the best way to obtain information, so they all set their sights on Zhong Zhao and his team, looking for various clues from their words, and then reported them to the country.
The foreign powers also quickly discovered that many of Director Zhong's ideas were very forward-looking and far-sighted. Therefore, they already regarded Zhong Zhao as another great think tank of Fengjun and always paid close attention to his remarks.
Zhang Tinglan arranged a big show of deception here, but on the other hand, he asked the shipyard to step up preparations and purchase the equipment needed to produce large warships. At the same time, Feng Yong also transferred a group of the best pilots from the air force and secretly formed the naval aviation force to conduct
Various preparatory trainings. In addition, Bayama Zao and Wang Zhu also received the task of setting up a carrier-based aircraft.
Since the formal separation of the two major design institutes, they have been in competition. Most of the fighter aircraft equipped by Fengjun are produced by them, and the list of carrier-based aircraft is also a large one. Bayama Zao and Wang Zhu have to pay attention to it.
Just after all preparations were launched, He Zhuguo and Wu Keren led a capable Fengjun training group and rushed to Lanzhou with a large amount of arms. As soon as Feng Yuxiang heard that Fengjun had arrived, he hurriedly led his men out to greet them.
"I look forward to the stars and the moon, and finally you are here, and I feel at ease."
"Sir Feng, you are too polite. We have been ordered by the commander to assist you in dealing with the Ma Jiajun. If you have any orders, just tell us."
Feng Yuxiang also smiled and said: "It's really refreshing. I have prepared wine and food in the city. Let's eat and talk."
He Zhuguo and Wu Keren followed Feng Yuxiang to the city. The two parties took their seats respectively. Feng Yuxiang first said: "After I arrived in the northwest, I issued a gun ban and wanted to collect weapons. However, the Ma Jiajun resisted very fiercely, especially the old guy Ma Fuxiang.
Dancing is the most fun.”
"Sir Feng, the commander-in-chief has already told you that everything in the northwest is your decision. If Ma Fuxiang is nothing special, just kill him!"
Feng Yuxiang also burst out laughing: "This sentence puts me at ease. In fact, I am not worried about Ma Fuxiang, but I am afraid of his cavalry."
"The commander asked us to bring eighty heavy machine guns this time. They can smash as many Ma's troops as they can!"
"Okay!" Feng Yuxiang couldn't help laughing and said: "With Lan Shuai's support, no one is afraid. I will give Ma Fuxiang an ultimatum right away!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.
