Chapter 251 The Japanese are crazy

(Thanks to book friend PLA-1234, Ren Minghui, summer scenery, Xuanyuan Yueyue's monthly ticket!)

Everyone fell into deep thought. They were not the old-style bureaucrats of the Qing Dynasty. As western Sichuan became stronger and stronger and later victory, they had a full recognition of the outside world.

Cicada. In the present world, the stronger the strong country, the weaker the weaker the weaker. Weak countries will suffer the cruel exploitation of strong countries. If it weren’t for the rise of western Sichuan and defeating the Qing Dynasty, China today would probably be similar to those colonies. As for whether China is

It is necessary to expand outward, and perhaps some officials in the cabinet will not agree, but as military leaders, they are almost all strong nationalists. However, although they have beaten Britain on the border and defeated Japan.

, but if they really want to go to war with Western powers, they still have no idea.

"Master, if this is the case, the strength of the navy must be strengthened again. The Philippines is thousands of kilometers away from our country, and Hawaii is even 7,000 kilometers away. Without a powerful navy, we have no way to do it now.

Cross-sea expedition. Although the current navy is very strong, we are still facing the threat from Japan. If we provoke the United States and Spain again, we need a strong navy even more!" Xiong Wu said. Since Wang Yuze has decided on the future three

The military's development direction is now, so they can only find ways to achieve this goal.

"Master! Currently, the Navy is in service, four battleships, four heavy cruisers, 10 light cruisers, and sixteen destroyers. Although its strength is not weak, it is probably still lacking to complete the command of the Master.

, The second batch of four heavy cruisers have been launched and are expected to be put into service by the end of the year. The fourth batch of light cruisers will also be launched within one or two months and will be put into service early next year. However, do we

What about the third batch of heavy cruisers and the fifth batch of light cruisers?” Zhang Cheng asked.

"Not used for the time being. Has the design plan for the next-level warships been released in the design institute?" Wang Yuze asked. The development of warships is changing with each passing day. There is no need to build too many warships of the same level, and it won't take long to complete it.

Only by constantly innovating and designing more advanced warships can we ensure the development of the navy.

"The new-class light cruiser and heavy cruiser solutions are being improved. The design of the main battleship is still continuing, but the design plan of the destroyer has been completed. After you agree, you can make a production order." Zhang Cheng said.

"How are the performance of destroyers?" Wang Yuze asked. The destroyers equipped by the Chinese naval are now purchased from Germany and the UK a few years ago, and their performance is relatively poor.

"The new class of destroyers has a displacement of 1,300 tons, and its military equipment is a 105mm rapid-fire gun, two 88mm rapid-fire guns and two 37mm rapid-fire guns on both sides. Two 450mm torpedo tubes.

It is two boilers and a steam turbine, with a maximum speed of about 30 knots." Zhang Cheng introduced. This is just the approximate data of this class of destroyers.

"Okay, let's build two first. If there is no problem, the Navy will be equipped with about 20 to 30 destroyers of this level. The specific plan will be decided by the Navy!" Wang Yuze said. The speed can reach 30 knots.

The destroyer has very good performance. Of course, this is probably related to the high speed he has always required, so the engineers of the design bureau will pay attention to this aspect.

"Yes, Grandmaster!" Zhang Cheng nodded. Destroyers can be mainly used to cruise China's waters, but the decisive force of real naval battles is still the main battleship. The Chinese Navy now has only four battleships, and heavy cruisers can only be regarded as the main battleship.

That's it. In the next three years, the Chinese Navy must increase its main ships as much as possible.

In the shipbuilding industry, China is also catching up. By obtaining war compensation from Japan, China ordered a large number of shipbuilding equipment from Germany, Britain, France and the United States, and established them in Dalian, Tianjin, Qingdao, Shanghai, Fuzhou and Guangzhou respectively.

Shipyards, plus the previous Beihai Shipyards, China will have seven large shipyards. However, except for Beihai Shipyards, the rest of the shipyards will not be completed or put into production within one to two years.

The Navy is still counting on the Beihai Shipyard. In addition, private capital has also poured into this industry. However, due to technical reasons, small and medium-sized shipyards invested by private capital can only build merchant ships with smaller displacement.

"The Battleship Design Institute has moved to Tianjin, right?" Wang Yuze asked. As the ruling center moved northward, major important institutions have also been moved one after another. The Battleship Design Institute has also moved from Beihai to Tianjin. Although now,

Tianjin Shipyard is still working overtime to build, but it does not affect the design of the design institute.

"It has been moved here. The Army dispatched several engineering battalions and built the design station within a month. Various equipment has also been installed and will not affect the design progress of the warship!" Zhang Cheng said.

"Okay, I'll go to the design office next month." Wang Yuze said. Originally, he planned to go there after he ascended the throne, but now the navy's problems are very urgent, so he can only take time to go as soon as possible.

"Okay, Grandmaster!" Zhang Cheng said. Now the navy's design warships can be built before they can be built after Wang Yuze's consent. Wang Yuze went to the design office and could naturally speed up the design progress. As for building warships, although before

China's shipyards do not have the experience of building main ships, but the heavy cruisers that China now has the displacement of about 10,000 tons, which has also accumulated a lot of experience for China. Through the Chinese Navy's own technical accumulation, coupled with the German side

Support, there should be no problem in the construction of the main battleship of the Chinese Navy now. However, it is not that easy to design a good battleship.

"In addition, in addition to warships, the construction of the Marine Corps also needs to be paid attention to. The battle we are going to carry out this time is mainly to land on island operations. The army may not be able to count on it, and the Marine Corps of the Navy must be expanded. At present, the Navy's Marine Corps is currently underway.

The team has only four brigades, so that the total size of the Marine Corps will be increased to ten brigades within two years,” said Wang Yuze. The Marine Corps, which is specialized in landing operations, is naturally more important than using the army to land.

Much more powerful.

"Yes, Grandmaster!" Zhang Cheng nodded. The expansion of the Marine Corps to ten brigades will make the scale of the Marine Corps reach more than 80,000. With the shore defense force of the Shanghai Army, the total strength will also be increased to ten.

More than 10,000 people.

"The Grand Marshal, with the current scale of the army and navy, the conversion of the army and the construction of navy warships, the annual funding required is probably over 100 million yuan. The current fiscal revenue is less than 300 million yuan, and the military expenditure is less than 100 million yuan.

Sixty million, the gap is too big!" Minister of Defense Jiang Xingguo said with some depression. As Minister of Defense, he is also a member of the cabinet. Of course, he went to ask the cabinet for military expenses. However, now the military's big moves are the ones that have taken place.

One by one, it caused serious overspending of military expenditure! Every time I went to the Prime Minister to increase military expenditure, Jiang Xingguo had to go shamelessly!

"Haha, Lao Jiang, this is your job!" Cai Yun said with a smile.

"Military expenditure is overspending, there is no way to do it. The threat we are facing now makes it necessary to maintain a strong military force and accelerate development. However, starting from the second half of this year, the government has successively invested a total of 3 billion to transportation and education.

And industrial development will inevitably lead to a rapid increase in the economy next year and a great increase in fiscal revenue. It is estimated that in two or three years, military expenditure will not be overspent. Besides, we have been young in Japan.

Have you got 200 million pounds? In addition, the 20 million pounds they paid to redeem the more than 200,000 prisoners of war, is enough to support the development of the army in recent years!" Xiong Wu said.

As soon as we talked about this fortune, a smile appeared on everyone's face. Although the little Japanese is a little abominable, it has indeed helped China in this regard! Such a large war compensation has completely developed the China Power.

Don't worry about not having money. You can develop according to the scheduled plan. Of course, everyone is also wary of Japan. This time, Japan suffered such a big loss, with his personality, he will definitely not give up.

Thinking about recovering the losses from China in the future. If China fails in the next war, Japan will definitely make a request that the compensation for this war is several times higher. Therefore, China cannot lose no matter what.

A war that falls. Otherwise, the entire country and nation will fall into a doomed place.

"Master, the Navy still lacks a lot of talents, especially the captains of large warships. We are preparing to assess the captains of the Beiyang Navy, and their abilities and morals are both qualified. Can we recruit them to join the Navy?" Zhang Cheng asked.

road.

"Yes, in the specific process, the Navy Department should pay attention to it. We must recruit those who are both virtuous and capable! Anyone who is greedy for life and fears death during the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 will never be hired!" Wang Yuze said.

"Yes, the Grand Marshal!" Zhang Cheng replied quickly.

At this time, Wang Wei walked in and said to Wang Yuze: "Master General, Director Wei of the Military Intelligence Bureau wants to see you!"

"Let him come in!" Wang Yuze said. All the military bosses here are, so naturally there is nothing that cannot be said to them.

Wei Zhiyong walked in with a serious look on his face. After seeing Wang Yuze, he saluted him and said hello.

"What happened? Director Wei?" Wang Yuze asked. When he saw Wei Zhiyong's appearance, it seemed that something big happened.

"Master, the Japanese are crazy!" Wei Zhiyong said directly.

"What Japanese are crazy? Let's make it clear?" Wang Yuze and the military tycoons present were a little confused.
