At four o'clock in the afternoon on March 18, An Yi and his party arrived in Jingnan City and stayed at the Chairman's Palace at the intersection of the Chaopayye River and the Chao Phraya River.
At this time, dignitaries and naval generals from various countries were invited, including Wang Chonghui, Secretary-General of the National Defense Supreme Committee, Admiral Chen Shaokuan, Minister of the Navy, Sumner Wells, U.S. Under Secretary of State, and Royal, Deputy Chief of Naval Operations.
Vice Admiral Ethan Ingersoll, British Foreign Secretary Eden, former First Sea Lord Lord Chater Field, Polish Prime Minister in Exile and Commander-in-Chief of the Army Sikorski, King George II of Greece, etc.
Already settled in the President's Palace.
The President's Palace has beautiful scenery and many buildings. As the former royal palace of Siam, it has been well protected and every guest is full of praise.
That evening, An Yi held a grand state banquet in the banquet hall of the President's Palace to entertain friends from all over the world. After the meeting, he held a brief symposium to allow friends from all over the world to get acquainted with each other. At the same time, he briefly elaborated on An's next plan.
stage strategies, and prospects for the future international situation.
There was nothing to say all night. At seven o'clock the next morning, An Yi invited dignitaries and naval admirals from all over the world to have breakfast. Then at 8:15, he boarded the Royal Palace Pier with representatives from 26 countries and regions around the world.
"Huaihe" class destroyer "Huaihe".
The "Huaihe" class destroyer has a standard displacement of 3,450 tons, a length of 135 meters, a maximum width of 12 meters, a draft of 4.2 meters, and a helicopter lifting platform at the rear of the ship.
The power plant of the "Huaihe" class is three ship-based heavy oil-fired water tube boilers and two ship-based steam turbines. The main engine output power is 52,000 horsepower and dual-shaft propulsion. The maximum speed is 33 knots, and the range can be reached when sailing at a speed of 18 knots.
It has a range of 9,000 nautical miles and is equipped with four M1933 100mm anti-aircraft guns and M19
There are fifteen Type 35 37mm fully automatic anti-aircraft guns, fifty 20mm Oerlikon anti-aircraft guns, four 12.7mm caliber anti-aircraft machine guns, one quadruple 610mm caliber torpedo launcher, and six depth charge launchers. Slide
It has two orbits and is equipped with air, sea and fire control radars, as well as advanced sonar systems.
The "Huaihe" class destroyer hoisted full flags in accordance with the highest navy etiquette, and all officers and soldiers on the ship, dressed in white uniforms, lined up neatly on the deck.
More than 80 dignitaries and naval generals from various countries, following An Yi, Ou Yaoting, Feng Jieyun, Zhu Yun, Jiang Fengying and Zhou Ziwei, boarded the ship one after another under the leadership of the instructors. There were more than 600 followers, officers and reporters.
People will take two other destroyers of the same class and sail to the review site.
After Navy veteran Lord Chatterfield boarded the ship, he took a quick look and immediately discovered that the French origin of this destroyer was very obvious. Vice Admiral Ingersoll pointed to the small gun barrel on the bow of the ship and smiled at Lord Chatfield.
road:
"I really didn't expect that after the destruction of the French Navy, we would see 100mm and 37mm artillery guns again in the far east. Now our American Navy, based on actual combat experience, has unified its anti-aircraft weapons into 127mm and 40mm.
and 20mm anti-aircraft guns, which greatly facilitates logistical supplies and has excellent air and sea performance. I wonder how the French weapons are now?"
"M1933 100mm high guns are fast at first speed, elevation angle is 100 degrees, and the rotation speed is fast. The M1935 37mm automatic high -firing cannon is 825 meters/second and the range is 8000 meters. In terms of air defense, it is not as good as 127 mm and 40 mm. 20
The millimeter cannon is inferior! The only thing I feel puzzled now is. Such a big destroyer has not installed the main gun, just relying on the 100 mm caliber high -air cannon, in the close range of the naval battle, it is not small! "
It's up.
"Could the Chinese mean that the destroyer did not mean to participate in the artillery battle at all?" Ing Sol proposed his own point: "Now, the role of aircraft carriers is getting more and more obvious.
… Maybe the Chinese want to rely on aircraft carriers to win the victory of naval battles. The role of destroyers will be limited to air defense! "
"It is possible to happen at sea, so the design is too light, right?"
Lord Chatefield shook his head. You looked around, and suddenly surprised: "This destroyer was installed with four radars, which shows that the early warning capabilities are excellent. In addition, so many aircraft guns, I believe that the air defense of the fleet will be key
Function. Dear Royal. Your opinion is right! "
Just between the two people whispered, the "Huaihe River" began to start. Follow the Chao Phraya River to the south. The sixteen kilometers of river channels only used for half an hour.
At 9.45, arrived at the Nanyan Bay Exit.
"Oh, my God!"
Inghal saw the body of Wei An, the carrier of "Kunlun" from a distance, and couldn't help but say: "I can't believe it. In the ignorant and backward Oriental, it is capable of building such a behemoth.
Under the "Essex ' -Class."
Lord Chatefield was even more frightened: "It's really incredible. Compared with the drainage of the" giant ' -level aircraft carrier we designed and built, it is at least 10,000 tons.
More than double the giant 'level. It is difficult to imagine that this is an aircraft carrier built by the Chinese ...
"Dear Royal, I see that the tonnage of this aircraft carrier is not much different from your country's" Essex " -class aircraft carrier. Is it your design drawings lost?"
"Never!"
Ing Sol denyed: "Our shipyard has a strict confidentiality system, the heads of the shipyard, engineers and workers go to get off work, and one drawing cannot be brought home. Moreover, all design drawings can be filled with up. Ten hundred -square -meter room, it is difficult to imagine leak! "
The National Government Navy Minister Chen Shaoguan, who had joined the British Navy in the last European War and won the British Queen's "Special Resort", made up for it, reminding it with skilled English:
"Two generals, have you forgot about millions of French immigrants who have been migrating to Annan, most of them are ship designers and skilled workers with superb technology. I know many French engineers in Jiangnan Shipyard.
The "Huangpu River" class destroyer they designed, the martial arts system is similar to the "Huaihe River ' -level" we are currently riding. And the French also have the experience of building an aircraft carrier. Can they design an aircraft carrier in front of the eye? Is there any strange thing? "
"Farker!"
Lord Chatefield burst into a rough mouth, and patted his forehead: "How do I forget the French? The combination of the wisdom of the Chinese and the French people has made such rich fruits, which is incredible."
"Mr. Three, please go to the shipbuilding area. Next, the gentlemen will take a new type of helicopter. From our destroyer to the front aircraft carrier." A white sailor came over and saluted the three to the three.
Ing Sol looked at the rank of the White Waterman and asked curiously: "Shangshi, will you be a French?"
The white sailor smiled slightly: "Sorry, I am a Jewish descent, and now I have joined the national nationality of the Tang Dynasty."
Ing Salle suddenly closed his mouth. He looked at Lord Chatefield, and thought of another source of the Anjiajun Navy warship designer -Jews!
The helicopter parked by the destroyer ship. The first to send Anyi, Ou Yaoting and others to the aircraft carrier. Ingelsol and Chatefield.
Politics, generals and followers, officers and reporters all felt the charm of this aircraft at close range.
Lord of Inghal and Chatefield knows that Anjiajun has an airplane that can hang in the air. Now I see it with my own eyes and sit in a large cabin that can accommodate ten people to feel the huge noise when the aircraft takes off.
It was shocked from the opponent's eyes. Although this helicopter is obviously a transport model, you can imagine that after the equipment system is equipped, the strong power of the ground and the sea attack.
Both Ing Sol and Chart Philde made a decision in their hearts as soon as possible. After attending the challenge, they applied to Anyi. First, buy a part of the strength of the sea and the army.
This advanced weapon is needed.
Before the start of the ship, An Yi On the large deck of the "Kunlun", he reviewed with the Minister of Defense Hu Jialin, the Navy Commander, and the Deputy Chief of Staff Yang Fei to review the honorary guard of honor.
At 11 o'clock in the morning, the "Kunlun" drove towards the southern waters, and the three "Huaihe River" class destroyers were closely accompanied.
At this moment, the 80 warships of the Anjia Army Navy who have been reviewed have already completed the formation of the military parade. The naval carrier -based aviation fighters are ready to start on the deck runway of the navigation carrier.
On the airport runway, thousands of naval land -based airline fighters have been prepared to deal with various emergencies and defend the safety of the motherland's leadership.
At 12:30, An Yi was accompanied by the Junior Commander Tudu and the Navy Political Member Yan Kaitai. He boarded the reviewer temporarily set up and paved with a red carpet on the ship's bridge of the "Kunlun" aircraft carrier.
After a quarter of an hour, the distance was on the high platform set up below, facing Anyi. He loudly said to the microphone: "Comrade Chairman, the troops are prepared, please review!
An Yi issued a order loudly to the microphone in front of him: "Start!"
"Yes! The military parade starts!" The journey wore a straightforward pen, and then turned to the sea in the south.
With An Yi ordered, the torrent of the recipients were only in the symphony of the exciting "Loyalty to the Country", breaking the waves.
Eighty warships, divided into five ship groups including aircraft carriers, cruisers, destroyers, frigates and other ships, marched in front of the parade ship "Kunlun" aircraft carrier.
Most of the weapons and equipment reviewed this time were manufactured by ourselves.,
An Yi stood on the reviewing stand, waving his arms constantly, and more than a dozen naval generals accompanying the review faced the front and saluted solemnly.
The first to be inspected were the "Oshan"-class "Phoenix" and "Lotus" aircraft carriers.
This class of aircraft carrier was transformed from a 12,000-ton merchant ship. It is a ship that all carrier-based aviation units of the Anjiajun Navy must be familiar with. Almost all shipboard training begins on the "Xiaoshan" class.
When they saw the carrier-based aircraft on the "Phoenix" and "Lotus" taking off one after another from the front deck, and the aircraft carrier's carrier-based aircraft capacity was only more than thirty aircraft, the dignitaries and navies from various countries who were seated on the deck platform below the review stand
The generals did not show too much excitement. Instead, reporters from various countries rushed to the front of the deck to capture the tense scene of the plane rushing out of the deck and slowly climbing up.
After the "Phoenix" and "Lotus" sailed past, what followed were the "Dashan" class aircraft carriers "Yanshan" and "Changbai". Their displacement of 25,000 tons made Lord Chatfield look suspicious. Okay.
Knowing the secret
Ingersoll told him that although this class of aircraft carrier is huge, its protection is weak due to the modification of a 25,000-ton oil tanker, and its carrier-based aircraft capacity is only 51, which is far inferior to the American "Yorktown" class.
aircraft carrier.
The "Yanshan" and "Changbai" also performed carrier-based aircraft take-off techniques, which greatly delighted the audience on the reviewing ships.
After the "Dashan" class aircraft carrier, there are the "Hainan" class aircraft carriers "Wuzhishan" and "Wanquanhe" with a displacement of 7,800 tons. All the viewers who have seen the huge hull of the previous "Dashan" class aircraft carrier all showed disappointed looks.
, on the contrary, Lord Chatfield looked solemn.
Ingersoll asked in confusion: "This aircraft carrier has a small displacement and can only accommodate twenty-three carrier-based aircraft. Does your Lordship have anything to worry about?"
Lord Chatfield nodded: "Because of its small tonnage, the construction period will not be too long. This allows mass production and creates a scale effect in a short time. In my opinion, this kind of aircraft carrier is perfect for escort.
, a huge transport fleet, with two aircraft carriers like this, plus three or four destroyers or frigates, the German wolves will have a headache!"
Ingersoll knew that Britain was plagued by German submarines, that the Atlantic route was perilous, and that material supplies throughout the British Isles had been in extremely difficult conditions. He immediately suggested: "In this case, why not place an order with the Chinese?"
After the words came out, Ingersoll felt a little regretful and thought to himself: How could I make such a ridiculous suggestion? Isn’t this taking away the business of our American shipyard? But thinking about the domestic embarrassment, he was relieved. The United States is no longer
When the war just broke out, it was very difficult for the United States to supply its own navy and army equipment due to Japan's invasion, let alone build ships for Britain?
Lord Chatfield's eyes lit up: "What a great idea. This is the second target worthy of my action today! For the safety of the route, I think the Prime Minister will agree to my request!"
After the "Hainan" class aircraft carrier passed, next came the "Mingshan" class aircraft carriers "Huangshan", "Lishan", "Lushan" and "Changbai".
The "Mingshan" class aircraft carrier has a displacement of 19,800 tons, and its body is not as majestic as the "Dashan" class. What is particularly important is that there are no carrier-based aircraft docked on the deck. This time, a carrier-based aircraft landing performance was performed. When I saw the previous takeoff
When the fighter jets began to land on the deck of the "Mingshan" class aircraft carrier one after another, the audience on the reviewing ship all burst into warm cheers and applause.
"Four main aircraft carriers!"
Ingersoll showed a rare look of shock and turned to Lord Chatfield:
"I saw the number CV-73 on the aircraft carrier in front. I thought it was painted casually by the Chinese for fun, but now I realize that maybe things are not as simple as we thought. This class of aircraft carrier is different from the 'York City' we built before the war.
' class has a comparable displacement. Judging from the external structure, the deck can take off and land a large number of carrier-based aircraft. If the Anjiajun Navy has seven or eight such aircraft carriers, the maritime hegemony in the Pacific region will undergo tremendous changes."
"Indeed!"
Lord Chatfield agreed with Ingersoll's view and suddenly became frustrated with the ongoing war. Now Britain is deep in the quagmire and engaged in a life-and-death fight with the Germans. But in distant East Asia, the Chinese are relying on this
This war is developing rapidly. Even if it wins the war against Germany in the future, what will it mean for Britain?
After the huge review formation composed of ten aircraft carriers, a cruiser formation followed.
The "Xuanyuan"-class heavy cruisers "Guan Zhong", "Zhao She", "Huo Qubing" and "Banchao" manufactured by Haiphong Shipyard sailed past the reviewing ship in sequence.
An Yi said loudly into the microphone: "Hello, comrades!"
A deafening slogan came from the sea: "Hello, Chief!"
"Good job, comrades!"
"Serve the people!"
British Foreign Secretary Eden turned to the US Deputy Secretary of State Sumner Wells beside him and said softly: "The appearance of such a huge naval force in the Western Pacific and Indian Ocean is not a good thing for us!"
Sumner Wells smiled bitterly: "But now what else can we do besides relying on the Chinese? The United States is undergoing a severe test, and we must concentrate all our efforts to eliminate Nazism and militarism. We have no choice, even if
It’s poison, and we must eat it, otherwise we will be doomed!”
Aiden shook his head in frustration, closed his eyes and rested for a while, then continued to look down.
The four "Xuanyuan" class heavy cruisers with a standard displacement of 9,100 tons passed by, followed by the 8,000-ton heavy cruisers "Lianpo" and "Leyi" manufactured by Shanghai Jiangnan Shipyard, and the 4,000-ton heavy cruiser also built by Jiangnan Shipyard.
ton light cruisers "Xiao He" and "Zhang Liang".
Seeing that the numbers on the hulls of these cruisers were not large, and because the distance was too far, it was impossible to clearly see the fire control and radar systems on the cruisers. Lord Chatfield and Ingersoll did not express much concern.
As the eight-cruiser formation passed, the largest destroyer formation in today's review appeared.
During this review, Anjiajun Navy's "Huangpujiang" class, "Yongdinghe" class, "Huaihe" class, "Heilongjiang" class, "Huanghe" class, and "Songhuajiang" class destroyers appeared one by one. When I saw one of them
When he saw the dd-287 number scrawled on the bow of a "Huaihe" class destroyer, Aiden muttered: "Yellow peril, terrible yellow peril..."
After the destroyer formation composed of fifty warships passed, there was a review formation composed of naval frigates, landing ships, and gunboats. As each formation marched, a group of fighter jets flown by the naval land-based aviation force flew above the review ship.
However, the audience was so mesmerized by it.
The entire review lasted four hours. An Yi stood on the review stage from beginning to end, constantly waving and greeting the officers and soldiers under review. All the naval officers and soldiers who passed in front of the reviewing ship stood at attention on the deck, facing An Yi, and saluted straightly.
, those uniform slogans merged into waves of sound, echoing across the sea and sky.
The solemn review and ardent expectations turned into a huge force, stirring in the hearts of the sailors, plowing the waves and plowing the waves with momentum like a rainbow.
