Japan expanded rapidly during World War I. The most obvious thing was his navy. Based on the construction of super-dreadnought ships, Japan showed a crazy trend. The Fuso class, Ise class, and the Nagato class were about to be completed.
, three levels, six giant ships were all completed or started to be built during World War I, and the displacement of these super-dreadnought ships basically exceeds 30,000 tons. They are well-deserved sea monsters. Japan is pursuing maritime hegemony.
It is even crazier than its teacher, the UK, in terms of issues.
Since Japan's navy defeated China and Russia, it has established its status as a naval power in the Asia-Pacific region. However, Japan has a worry, even fear, about China from the bottom of its heart. In fact, it has been oppressed by a behemoth for thousands of years. This reaction is really
Normally, Japan will never allow China to embark on the path of developing its navy again. This is a consensus within Japan.
China has obtained four giant ships from Europe, which has greatly stimulated Japan. The military department has formulated several plans in succession to sink the Chinese warships before they return to China. This will definitely prevent the development of China's maritime power. Japan
The political circles are very worried about the plan of these madmen in the military. If they attack Chinese warships, it will be equivalent to declaring war with China, and it will also annoy Britain, the United States and other countries. It is simply not worth the gain.
Moreover, the Japanese cabinet also made an assessment early and believed that even if China obtained these four warships, it would not greatly improve China's maritime power. First, these four warships were all damaged in the Ridland War.
, China simply does not have the ability to produce the steel plates needed for ships, so it cannot be repaired, and it has no experience in using giant ships. The navy is extremely short of talent, and more importantly, China cannot even produce the armor-piercing bombs needed for warships. It can be said that these ships
Once the warship is in the hands of the Chinese, it becomes nothing more than a toy that is of no use.
In addition, the navy is a systematic project, with only capital ships. Without other auxiliary ships, it has no ability to go to sea. The Japanese cabinet advocates close observation of such warships, which basically pose no threat, and wait for the opportunity. The military is certainly dissatisfied with Zheng Fu.
With a conservative attitude, they clamored and even directly threatened. Just when the domestic quarrel in Japan was in full swing, the British notified Japan of the movements of the two warships through secret channels.
After getting this, the Japanese Military Headquarters felt like they had found a treasure. This was not only a piece of intelligence, but also a license from the British to authorize Japan to attack the Chinese Navy. Suddenly, the Japanese Military Headquarters took complete control of the initiative and took over Zheng.
Fu suppressed them to death. They also knew about the actions of the Chinese in Paris, and the reason why China was so crazy was Japan's insatiable greed.
Now the British are sending intelligence to the Japanese in order to give Qiao Yu a good look and provoke a confrontation between China and Japan. It can be said that the British are very clever in their calculations. They also poked holes in both China and Japan.
Japan had the support of British intelligence, so it could accurately know the routes of the Border Governor and Moltke, and now it happened to block these two warships.
Japan himself has sent a telegram to the two prey ships, asking them to surrender immediately, otherwise Japan will launch an attack and drive the two warships completely to the bottom of the sea.
As the commander of this fleet, Chen Shaokuan's forehead was already covered with sweat. Of course he knew the situation of these two warships. After a long journey, their speed had been greatly affected, and the two warships were already injured.
It has not been repaired at all, there is a serious shortage of ammunition, and there are no auxiliary ships. Now it is blocked at sea by the Japanese, and I am afraid there is only a dead end.
The main pilots on the warships are still the German navy. These German crew members also seemed a little flustered. Chen Shaokuan reluctantly calmed down and said to the German general: "Mr. Seckter, Japan's fleet is far stronger than ours."
Powerful, but as a member of the Chinese Navy, I am ready to command the warships to fight the Japanese to the death. It is really my dereliction of duty that I cannot escort you safely to China!"
Seckter looked very calm. Although this Prussian nobleman faced the most dangerous situation, he remained calm and composed. For later Chinese people, Seckert was not very unfamiliar. He was the military adviser to the Nanjing National Government.
He also presided over the construction of the Sekt Defense Line.
In fact, Seckter is even more important to Germany. It can be said that without Seckter's efforts, there would be no brilliant achievements of the German army in World War II. It was his hard work that preserved the German officer corps and staff system, otherwise
The Allied Powers completely destroyed it, and at the same time summarized the experience and lessons of World War I and formulated a new training plan. In addition, he also presided over the transfer of some German military industrial enterprises to the Soviet Union, which preserved the vitality of the German Army to the greatest extent and also provided a
Twenty years later, Germany's rearmament laid a solid foundation, and he himself was revered as the father of the German Wehrmacht.
In this time and space, Sekter found a better place to transfer military technology, that is China. Sichuan's military industrial era was the foundation laid by Germany, with a strong German tradition, and China has unparalleled advantages over the Soviet Union.
, that is the distance. If a large number of military industrial enterprises were installed in the Soviet Union, it would inevitably cause technology leakage, but China does not have such worries. The two countries are too far away.
Moreover, due to the First World War, Germany's privileges in China were wiped out, paving the way for cooperation between the two countries. Therefore, Sekter couldn't wait to run to China just after the war, just to do something for him.
Germany searches for a Noah's Ark.
Sekter nodded slightly towards Chen Shaokuan: "Chen, although I don't understand naval warfare, I am also a soldier. The glory we pursue requires that we must not bow our heads, even at the cost of our lives!"
Sekter turned to the German crew and said: "Boys, unfortunately we are surrounded by the Japanese. The Japanese may think they can make us surrender, but I want to tell you that not long ago, Germany chose
Surrender, but await the endless humiliation of Germany. We must never make this mistake again. Germany will never surrender!"
A kind of courage to look back on death spread among the Chinese and German crews. The Border Governor and the Moltke were all ready for battle. The person in charge of the interception on the Japanese side was Yamaya Tato, the commander-in-chief of the combined fleet, who had just
The admiral who has been appointed as the Commander-in-Chief of the Combined Fleet is ambitiously controlling the most powerful maritime force in Japan's history. His emotions are very high. This is Japan's most glorious moment and the time when he is most proud.
Little China doesn't deserve to have a navy at all, so let the great combined fleet sink them to the bottom of the sea. Of course, this is just the thought in the minds of others in Shanwu. Of course, he knows that the Border Governor is the brainchild of the German Navy and has great reference value. Don't look at it now
Japan's battleships are larger than those of Britain and Germany, but there is still a gap in Japan's shipbuilding technology. If these two warships can be captured, it will be a huge improvement to Japan's shipbuilding technology, so Yamaya others
Several reports were sent to allow the Chinese Navy to choose to surrender.
"Your Excellency, Commander, the China Navy has not responded at all. On the contrary, they have to seize the position and prepare for battle. Please give the order to sink the two warships, Commander!"
The others in Yamaya saw that they could not defeat the enemy without a fight, so they prepared for the fleet to attack. At this critical moment, the telegraph staff suddenly arrived panting with an urgent message from Tokyo.
After receiving the telegram in the hands of others in Shanwu, others in Shanwu frowned tightly. The telegram actually asked them to let go of two Chinese warships. Withdraw Japan as soon as possible. Seeing this, others in Shanwu even wanted to curse.
There are so many pigs in the country, why would you issue such an order at a critical moment? Isn’t this just a joke?
The words of the ancient Chinese people are still very reasonable if the foreign emperor's orders are not accepted. The others in Yamawu will ignore Tokyo's orders and continue to issue orders. However, at this time, several telegrams were sent in succession, and the wording became more and more serious.
They strongly and resolutely demanded that Shanwu and others let go of the Chinese warships. Shanwu and others finally felt the domestic pressure and had to order the warships to start turning collectively and withdraw toward the northeast, sparing the Border Governor and Moltke.
Facing the sudden turn of the Japanese warship, Chen Shaokuan was puzzled. What kind of trick was the Japanese playing? Was he trying to seize the position? Until the Japanese fleet moved further and further away, Chen Shaokuan was still a monk two feet tall and couldn't figure it out.
Mind, at this moment the domestic radio also sent a message.
Tell them that an agreement has been reached between China and Japan, and let them return to Qinzhou with confidence and be welcomed by the patrol envoy in person. After seeing this telegram, Chen Shaokuan was completely relieved. It seemed that he had escaped death, but then he
There are also some doubts about what means the patrol envoy used to actually make the aggressive Japanese people retreat. It is really puzzling.
Sekter was also very happy at this time. Although he said it harshly, he had an important mission. How could he die at sea casually? It would be great if the Japanese could retreat. The two warships rode the wind and waves all the way and sailed quickly
Going to Qinzhou, when there were still a hundred kilometers away from Qinzhou, several reconnaissance planes appeared in the sky. They were obviously reconnaissance planes sent by Qiao Yu. Although these two warships were not important, they were all carrying Qiao Yu's spy.
If the carefully selected talents are lost, the Navy will definitely suffer a heavy blow.
And there is such a great god as Sekter. If something happens to him, it will be doubtful whether the cooperation between China and Germany can continue. Therefore, Qiao Yu is most worried. After getting Chen Shaokuan's telegram, he knows about them
Now that I'm safe, I feel completely relieved.
Two warships were moored at a dedicated berth. This was the first time for many Chinese generals to see such a huge warship. The thick gun barrels showed power and majesty. Battleships are definitely more attractive to the senses than aircraft carriers and can be controlled.
The most powerful killing tool built by mankind out of metal is definitely the pursuit of every man.
Even Qiao Yu couldn't help but be excited after seeing the two warships. Chen Shaokuan accompanied Sekter off the warship, "Jin Zuo, Chen Shaokuan has fulfilled his mission and brought the two warships back!"
Qiao Yu nodded with great relief, "Thank you for your hard work on the road. I haven't lost my mind yet, otherwise I would have lost a general!"
Japan was able to withdraw its troops at a critical moment. In fact, the reason is very simple. It is nothing more than profit. Qiao Yu sent a report on the resources of the Russian Far East to Japan's government. If Japan could let go of the Chinese warships,
China will also assist Japan in developing resources in the Russian Far East. Among them, the oil resources that attract Japan's attention most are the oil resources. This is also the pain point of Japan, an island country. Oil cannot be self-sufficient. No matter how powerful the navy is, it is useless. Of course, this is what Qiao Yu has given Japan.
The hole I dug was the bone that made Japanese and Russian dogs bite each other!...)
