Chapter 1674 The trip to the south of the Yangtze River
Chapter 1674: Trip to Jiangnan
Shanghai, Jiangnan Shipyard Wharf.
Since An Yi is coming to preside over the ship launching ceremony, to ensure safety, the shipyard is not open to the public today. Those attending the launching ceremony are officials from the South China Navy and officers and soldiers of the Navy's Poyang Lake Fleet. In addition, they are the Republic of China who were invited to attend the ceremony.
Representative of the Navy.
An Yi, Yang Jie and others came to the center of the viewing platform in front of the dry dock. At a glance, four "Huangpu Jiang" class destroyers, whose hull construction had been basically completed, were lying quietly in the dry dock.
There is a huge colorful ball filled with hydrogen floating on the top of every ship.
The guests on the viewing platform came to An Yi to salute or say hello. Chen Shaokuan, Minister of the Navy of the Nationalist Government, had a bright smile on his face:
"General An, I really envy you. You actually built four destroyers in one go. It's amazing!"
An Yi shook hands with Chen Shaokuan cordially and said modestly: "Everywhere, there are battleships of small tonnage. Minister Chen has so many warships of several thousand tons that he may not be too fancy!"
At the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War last year, the ship An Yi sank and blocked the main channel of the Yangtze River. As a result, Japan's superior naval fleet was unable to enter the Yangtze River. The Central Navy Fleet, which was originally planning to sink the ship and block the Yangtze River, was also saved.
Before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Chinese Navy consisted of the Central Navy, the Northern Navy and the Guangdong Navy. The Central Navy was under the jurisdiction of the First Fleet, the Second Fleet, the Practice Fleet, the Coast Guard and the Hydrographic Bureau, and the Northern Navy was under the jurisdiction of the Third Fleet.
The Guangdong Navy is composed of the Guangdong Provincial Jiang Defense Command.
Among them, the Central Navy is under the direct control of the Navy Department of the Executive Yuan of the National Government and is mainly deployed in the Yangtze River and East China Sea. The Northern Navy is funded by the Hebei-Chacha Administrative Affairs Commission and the Qingdao Municipal Government and operates mainly in Qingdao and the Bohai Sea. The Guangdong Navy is funded by the Guangdong Government.
It is under the jurisdiction and mainly operates along the coast of Guangdong and the Pearl River. Each navy is independent and has its own fleet, school, shipyard and marine corps.
After the war broke out, in order to prevent Japan from landing in Qingdao, the Third Fleet sank all its ships to seize Qingdao's ports. The Guangdong Navy stayed on the Pearl River, and the Central Navy gathered near Nanjing.
By the end of the Songhu Battle, the Central Navy's organizational structure was intact.
Currently, the First Fleet has the cruisers Hai Rong, Haichou, and Ninghai, the gunboats Yixian, Yongjian, Yongji, Zhongshan, Datong, Ziqiang, the destroyer Jianjiang, and the transport ships Hua'an, Anding, and Ke'an;
The flagship of the Second Fleet is the cruiser Hirakai ordered from Japan's Harima Shipyard and commissioned in March last year. In addition, it also has the gunboats Chu Guan, Chu Qian, Chu Tong, Chu Tai, Chu You, Jiang Yuan, Jiang Zhen, and Xianning.
, Yongsui, Minquan, Desheng, Washeng, gunboat Jiangxi, Jiangkun, torpedo boat Hupeng, Hu E, Huying, Hufalcon;
The practice fleet includes the cruisers Ying Rui and Tongji;
The Coast Guard Office has jurisdiction over the gunboats Chengsheng, Yisheng, Yongsheng, Gongsheng, Shunsheng, Rensheng, Jiangning, Haining, Sui, Weining, Suning, Chongning, Yining, Changning, Zhengning and Funing.
.
These ships, cruisers have a displacement of 1900 tons to 4300 tons, gunboats have a displacement of 247 tons to 1550 tons, destroyers have a displacement of 400 tons, gunboats and gunboats have a displacement of 50 tons to 350 tons, and torpedo boats have a displacement of 96 tons. They are a decisive force on the Yangtze River.
The power of.
Chen Shaokuan naturally knew that if he, the Minister of the Navy, were not An Yi, he would have become a mere commander, so he respected An Yi very much: "General An, my ships are just showing off in the Yangtze River, but if they want to enter the ocean,
I’m afraid it’s not enough to squeeze the teeth of the Japanese navy. On the contrary, General An is working hard to build warships in his own shipyard to develop the navy. The future achievements will be limitless!”
"There is no way. If we don't work hard, we will never be able to catch up with the great powers. But the navy is a money-grabbing thing. Now I have to tighten my belly to live!"
When An Yi said this, Li Guang also came to the viewing platform. An Yi apologized to Chen Shaokuan and went forward with Yang Jie, Chen Yu and Shen Fengdao.
"Hello, Chairman!"
Since it was a formal occasion, Cheng Zhiguang saluted An Yi with a smile on his face. The Nanhua Navy's first shot was very beautiful, completely annihilating the Siamese Navy. Now four more destroyers have been launched, and the navy's strength has been strengthened again, which makes him whole
Look radiant.
An Yi patted Cheng Guang on the shoulder: "Cheng Guang, it seems that I made the right choice when I chose you as the commander of the river defense. In the past few years, from the river defense force to the Poyang Lake Fleet, and now to the Nanhua Navy, let's move forward step by step.
One footprint has finally led us to today. As long as this continues, our navy will one day go to the ocean!"
Yang Jie admired Li Guang, the commander of the Nanhua Navy, very much. An Yi had already agreed with him that after arriving in Nanhua, he would serve as the deputy chief of staff, the same rank as Yang Fei. In the future, there will be opportunities to deal with the navy, so he was on the viewing platform.
After sitting down, the two chatted animatedly.
The "Huangpujiang" class destroyer built by Jiangnan Shipyard this time has a displacement of 1,000 tons, a length of 100 meters, an overall width of 9.35 meters, and a draft of 3.30 meters. It is equipped with two steam turbines, four heavy oil boilers, dual-shaft propulsion, and a power of 19,000
Horsepower, maximum speed of 27.8 knots, and endurance of 3,500 nautical miles/18 knots.
According to the plan, the armament includes a triple-mounted M1933 100mm high-level dual-purpose main gun, a turret at the bow and stern of the battleship, and eight M1935 37mm fully-automatic anti-aircraft guns. On the central axis of the stern, a triple-mounted torpedo launch tube is equipped
, the other two twin-mounted torpedo launch tubes are equipped on both sides of the ship. For anti-submarine and anti-torpedo needs, it will also be equipped with four triple-mounted 25mm cannons, two depth bomb delivery rails, and two delivery machines.
Chen Shaokuan came over again and asked An Yi in a low voice, who was carefully observing the battleship with a telescope: "I heard that the destroyer built this time is not equipped with a large-caliber main gun?"
An Yi put down the telescope and smiled and said: "The 100mm cannon is enough. If a delayed detonation bomb is used to explode near the ship, the damage to the crew will be no worse than that of a large-caliber heavy artillery. In the future, naval battles will be below the sea surface.
The era of three-dimensional competition on the plane and in the air and the decisive victory with giant cannons no longer exists, and this high-level and flat dual-purpose cannon is just right."
Chen Shaokuan was stunned for a moment, then thought of something and blurted out: "So, in the future, the South China Navy will focus on developing a warship formation with aircraft carriers as the core and supplemented by submarines?"
An Yi was a little surprised by Chen Shaokuan's keen sense of smell and nodded slightly.
Chen Shaokuan looked envious: "As early as eleven years ago, when I was the commander of the Second Fleet of the Navy, I submitted a letter to build China's own aircraft carrier, but now, the dream is still far away!"
At this moment, drums and drums sounded in the shipyard, followed by warm cheers. It turned out that the time had come and the launching ceremony of the battleship was about to begin.
As the music of "My Motherland" sounded, all the attendees stood up and paid tribute to An Yi who walked to the viewing platform.
After Wei Zilang, director of Jiangnan Shipyard, who presided over the ceremony, introduced the basic situation of this class of warships, An Yi took the I-type automatic rifle from the guard's hand and pointed it at the colorful balloons flying above the four warships, "Bang bang -
—" Four gunshots were fired in succession, and the balloon exploded. Countless colorful ribbons contained in it flew down, everywhere on the Sadd dock and the battleship.
Afterwards, An Yi walked down from the viewing platform and threw bottles of champagne towards the bow of the ship. After the bottles broke, white foam flew everywhere and the aroma of wine overflowed.
After An Yi finished the bottle-throwing ceremony, all those present faced the new ship, saluted with attention, and applauded enthusiastically. Then the cables were cut, and under the fluttering flowers and ribbons, the four warships slowly slid into the water.
At the end of the ceremony, An Yi was supposed to deliver an exciting speech. However, Jiangnan Shipyard is adjacent to Shanghai, has a complex personnel, and there are many Japanese spies. For safety reasons, this procedure was canceled. Lu Guang simply spoke
After explaining the significance of the launch of these four warships, the entire ceremony ended.
At noon, An Yi had lunch with Wei Zilang, director of the shipyard, engineers and worker representatives. In the afternoon, he took a train and left Shanghai for Hangzhou to meet with Zhejiang Provincial Chairman Huang Shaohong.
...
The Tan Mansion by the West Lake was not damaged by the war that took place in the southwestern suburbs of Hangzhou late last year. The flowerbeds, lawns, and ancient trees still maintain their original appearance.
An Yi, Huang Shaohong, and Yang Jie sat together in the pavilion on the embankment of the West Lake, whispering. Zhou Xuan sat on the lawn in the distance with Huang Shaohong's confidante Xin Xin, exchanging their knowledge of vocal music. From time to time, several pleasant singing voices came out.
, extremely pleasing to the eye and ear.
An Yi continued the topic discussed in Wusongkou yesterday and asked: "Geng Guang, you said yesterday that the party-state may fall into a deeper and muddier factional struggle in the future. Is there any basis for this?"
Yang Jie glanced at Huang Shaohong and said to An Yi: "The chairman's intention was good, but he didn't realize that by exalting the Three Youth League too much, it would inevitably leave people with the impression that the Three Youth League is the 'new favorite'
, *** is like an 'abandoned wife', 'Party members look at the League members as if they are new enemies; League members look at the Party members as outdated elements'. The Chairman looks forward to the Three Youth League as a new force, and the Three Youth League members also
It is inevitable that their self-perception will be inflated. They boast of "new life" and "new cells", openly ridicule, satire, and contempt for the Communist Party, and deliberately spread the words "the party is old and the league is new" and "the league is above all else".
Under the prominence of the Three Youth League's propaganda, the Communist Party was pushed into an extremely embarrassing situation. Those who remained in the Communist Party were regarded as decadent and corrupt people, and were even listed as targets of revolution by the Three Youth League. What do you think?
Come on, isn’t this trying to dismantle yourself?”
An Yi agreed: "The organizational structure of the Communist Party has long been dominated by the CC clique. The CC clique does bear an unshirkable responsibility for the lack of party affairs organization in the CCP. It is precisely because of this that the newly established Three Youth League
Since it has been given the important task of reforming the long-standing shortcomings of the Communist Party of China, the cc department can naturally no longer serve as the organizational backbone of the Three Youth League. Based on this consideration, when the principal was organizing the formation of the Three Youth League, he mainly used members of the Force Society to take on this new task.
Organizational formation tasks.”
Huang Shaohong also realized the taste at this time and shook his head repeatedly: "It's inappropriate, it's inappropriate. In this way, the factional feud between the CC clique and Lixingshe before the war has naturally turned into a confrontation and conflict between the party groups. Committee member
The leader originally hoped to use the Three Youth League to unify and bridge the gap between various factions in the party, but the result was that it would lead to more intense factional struggles."
"yes!"
Yang Jie sighed: "There are huge deficiencies in the design of the organizational structure of the Chairman. The dual-track competitive relationship between the Three Youth League and the Communist Party will make it difficult for each other to be compatible with each other. The Chairman is the leader of the Three Youth League
The League was built as a revolutionary group, so the Three Youth League was given the political status of independent operation. Firstly, it was to prevent the Communist Party’s old party style and old habits from penetrating into the new organization. Secondly, it was to prevent the Communist Party’s organizational structure from influencing the new organization.
Organizational constraints.
"However, the Three Youth League was established through a resolution of the National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and the party constitution stipulated the subordinate status of the League to the party. In the actual operation process, in addition to the chairman, the party president and the head of the Three Youth League
In addition, there is no organizational affiliation between the Communist Party of China and the Three Youth League. From the beginning to the end, the Three Youth League is not under the jurisdiction of the Communist Party's organizational structure.
The organization, personnel, funds, etc. have no power to interfere or interfere.
"From the central to the local level, the parties and leagues are organized into separate systems. Any attempt to bring the Three Youth League under the control of the Communist Party will be resisted by Lixingshe forces. At the end of last month, I chatted with Wang Zizhuang, secretary-general of the Central Supervisory Commission.
When he arrived at the Three Youth League, he said that some members of the Three Youth League blatantly called on the party to be a thing of the past and that the league would take its place, ignoring their original intention of calling on young people to join the party, which is unacceptable!"
Huang Shaohong and Yang Jie have been together for many years. They worked together during the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War and later served as regimental deputy and district captain respectively in the Lushan Officer Training Corps. In his mind, he always believed that although Yang Jie was talented, he was unreasonable.
Unruly and unruly, when I heard this, I realized that he also had his own unique insights into politics.
Yang Jie continued: "Since the Party and the Youth League maintain a dual-track system, competition and conflicts are bound to arise in organizational development. For example, the Youth League's constitution limits the age of members to between 18 and 38 years old.
As a result, the Communist Party has only two ways out: either it can only recruit middle-aged people who lack vitality and conservative and decadent old people to join the party; or it can compete with the Three Youth League for young people. If the Communist Party chooses the former, it will be tantamount to self-inflicted
perish.
"Judging from the age structure of the Communist Party members before the war, more than 80% of the party members were under the age of thirty-nine. In other words, the Communist Party was originally a party with young people as its main force. After the establishment of the Three Youth League,
It is tantamount to usurping the sphere of influence of the original organization of the Communist Party. The Communist Party is naturally unwilling to give up, and friction and conflicts will inevitably arise between the party and the league in the recruitment of members. The result will inevitably be that the party and league will try to absorb new members regardless of their age.
, from absorbing to competing, from competing to attacking, from attacking to slandering, thus forming the opposition between the party and the regiment."
An Yi listened with rapt attention and nodded repeatedly.
Through Yang Jie's in-depth and simple explanation, An Yi suddenly understood why *** was inferior to *** in history. In terms of organizational strength, the two were simply not opponents of the same level.
"In the pre-war local political operations, conflicts and conflicts mainly occurred between the party and the government for power and resources. However, after the establishment of the Three Youth League, it quickly intervened in the competition for local power and resources, making the local political ecology more stable.
Chaos and complexity. The binary conflict between the party and the government is bound to evolve into a struggle between the three forces of the party, the government and the league.
"The chairman originally hoped that the Three Youth League could reform the long-standing abuses of the Communist Party. Unexpectedly, the various performances of the Three Youth League and the old Communist Party were indistinguishable from each other in style. If this continues, the party headquarters will inevitably be officialized and the league headquarters will be officialized.
Partyization; Party members become bureaucratized, and League members become Party members. Although the Three Youth League has become increasingly alienated from its leaders in terms of organizational relations, in terms of behavior and work style, it has become increasingly close to the parent organization. A group that originally aimed at transforming ***
The ambitious San Youth League may soon become the second target of urgent reform."
Huang Shaohong felt very heavy: "Party and group struggle is one aspect, and party-government struggle is even more brutal. The National Government followed the Russian Communist Party in implementing party-based governance, but our party-based governance is different from the Russian Communist Party in the specific operation methods. The Russian Communist Party started from the Central Committee
At the local level, the party's unified leadership is implemented, and power is concentrated in party committees at all levels from top to bottom. However, we only use the party to rule the government at the central level, while at the local level the party and government are separated; the party only controls the party, and the government only controls the government.
“Since local political resources are mainly in the hands of the government, the resources that the party headquarters can control are extremely limited. However, the party headquarters is often unwilling to be left alone. It often covets and interferes with local administration. In addition, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China requires local party headquarters and
Local governments supervise each other, which actually lays the legal basis for the conflict between the party and the government. From the perspective of the party headquarters, the party's power is above all else. Since the central government is governed by the party, the local government should also have the party headquarters override the government.
Therefore, they often challenge the power of the government and go against the government. In the eyes of the government, the party headquarters is insignificant and even regarded as a tumor, which it must get rid of quickly. In addition, the education level and quality of local government personnel are generally better than those of local governments.
Party officials, this also makes it inevitable for the former to look down upon the latter."
"Okay, well said!"
An Yi couldn't help but slapped his thigh vigorously: "What Brother Geng Guang and Brother Ji Kuan said made An Yi suddenly enlightened. I was still a little confused about domestic politics before, but after listening to what you two said, I suddenly became enlightened. This
This is also an important reason for me to start over in Nanhua. In comparison, Nanhua is a newly restored place, and the old forces can be pushed away. It is like a blank piece of paper. You can plan whatever you want. In China, the old people and the upstarts
The struggle for power, the strife between factions within the party and the army, and the feeling of helplessness when trying to do something practical make people shudder. Brother Ji Kuan, I have asked Brother Geng Guang to serve as my chief of staff in Nanhua. Would you like to
Don’t you want to come to Nanhua to help me?”
Only then did Huang Shaohong understand why An Yi and Yang Jie visited him. He said with some embarrassment: "The chairman of the committee has been kind to me and entrusted me with the important task of provincial chairman. The party and the country may have problems of one kind or another, but men of my generation are not
Does it exist just to solve all kinds of difficult problems and conflicts? If everything goes smoothly, what else do you want me to do?"
An Yi's expression was extremely serious: "But time waits for no one. War is currently breaking out in Europe. More and more countries will be involved in the war, and it will eventually turn into a world war. If we stay at home and wait until all aspects of the relationship are straightened out, everyone will
The fight is almost over, it’s time to discuss how to divide the spoils, we can’t afford to waste time!”
Yang Jie also advised: "Since Brother Ji Kuan also understands the complexity of the domestic situation, why not simply jump out and engage in a dynamic and vigorous new career to contribute to the rise of the Chinese nation?"
Huang Shaohong still shook his head: "My father-in-law treated me as a national soldier, and I will repay him as a national soldier. As long as I serve as the chairman of Zhejiang Province for one day, I must handle the work well! Xiaoyi, I know you are doing it for my own good, but I
I have my own principles for how to behave, so please don’t force me.”
"All right!"
Although An Yi was disappointed in his heart, he had a smile on his face: "We are brothers, and I can understand your thoughts. However, I have a suggestion. If my brother feels that his life in China is not going well in the future, he is always welcome to come to Nanhua.
, I will sweep the bed and wait for you."
Huang Shaohong smiled but did not answer, saying hello: "Drink, drink, the topic is too heavy to live up to the picturesque beauty of the West Lake! How about I ask Xin Xin to play a song?"
Seeing this, An Yi clapped his hands and said: "Okay, let Xuan Xin accompany me and let Xuan'er sing a new song I wrote for her..."
