But Chen Shaokuan is different. Chen Shaokuan was born in 1889 and will only be fifty next year. In the navy, fifty is the prime of life. He needs qualifications and experience. Wang Jiuling originally wanted to recruit more people, such as Chen Jiliang.
and others, but China refuses to release them. If Chen Shaokuan hadn't always been there to encourage the building of aircraft carriers, and there were dozens of them at once, the Chinese government might not have released them.
As one of the few people in the Chinese Navy who understands the navy, China originally did not want to release him. However, the plan proposed by Chen Shaokuan in 1930 was dragged down by Chiang Kai-shek until now. Although Chen Shaokuan is still dreaming of becoming a naval power, especially after China stops the civil war, it will become more
It gave him hope, and his inner dream of a naval power was aroused again. Unfortunately, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party did not attach much importance to the navy. They felt that the threat on land was greater, so they prioritized the development of military equipment on land.
Reality, but China is right. They want money but no money, and they want technology but no technology. The navy is a money-burner, and it is slower to form combat effectiveness. Their strength is not enough to support it, so it is more appropriate to develop the army and air force, and it can be more effective.
It can quickly form combat effectiveness, not to mention that China’s main opponent in the future is Soviet Russia, and the other is Germany. There is not much chance of using the navy in the Arctic Ocean. The army and air force are mainly needed to fight.
Therefore, Chen Shaokuan's dream of a powerful Chinese navy will not be realized in a short time. As for why Wang Jiuling does not support it, Wang Jiuling should take care of himself first before he has time to help China.
The Qin State is different from China. Although they both have huge maritime territories, the Qin State is more complex. The Indian Ocean and the South China Sea require huge navies. If the Qin Army is contained in these places, the European powers will no longer be able to threaten China with their navies.
, the United States is a country where interests come first. Now the United States' industrial capacity is the first in the world, but its military power is not ranked high. Although their navy is very powerful, their army is a scumbag. If they want to attack a big country like China, they will never do it.
It is impossible to win, and the current United States is not as aggressive as the United States in later generations. The current United States pursues "isolated diplomacy" and only makes its own wealth without caring about other things.
The Korean Peninsula is in the hands of China, with Japan to the east, so the Soviet Union's navy cannot threaten China's East China Sea, Bohai Sea and other vast sea areas.
Therefore, what China wants to defend on its maritime borders is Japan. However, as long as it firmly controls the Korean Peninsula, Japan will not dare to take action easily. Otherwise, aircraft can directly blow Japan back to its primitive times. Therefore, compared with the other two services, the navy is indeed not China's most powerful force.
important development goals
But if the army ignores its development, and one day the Soviet Union raises tens of millions of troops to attack, then China may be destroyed. Now the Soviet Union not only continues to support foreign independence, but at the same time, my dear, Outer Mongolia has amassed a hundred thousand troops. In addition, in Xinjiang
, the areas bordering the three eastern provinces also have a heavy stockpile of troops.
Many people in the CCP who originally had a favorable impression of Soviet Russia or were pro-Soviet finally saw the sinister intentions of Soviet Russia. As a result, the relationship between the two countries has always been very complicated. In order to prevent Soviet Russia from invading, China will also
Most of the troops are stationed in North China, Northeast China, Xinjiang and other places. In short, a war may break out between China and Soviet Russia at any time.
Originally, Stalin and others really wanted to destroy China in one fell swoop, but China had more than 150 troops in the north and very good fortifications. In addition, what they were most worried about was that Qin would join the war. But they were not worried about it, but Qin would definitely join the war.
Wang Jiuling himself was not willing to swallow China, let alone allow others to swallow China, so Soviet Russia had no confidence in winning against both countries.
Although Western countries have become much friendlier to Soviet Russia since the conflict between Qin and China broke out, Stalin did not believe that capitalist countries would give up subverting Soviet Russia all of a sudden, so he would definitely not use up all his strength, even if he could fight
He won't win, not to mention the possibility of winning is very small.
Chen Shaokuan was not favored by the government. At the same time, Wang Jiuling liked Chen Shaokuan and kept telling Lao Jiang that Chen Shaokuan would be transferred to Qin. Lao Jiang also made a favor and kicked Chen Shaokuan to Qin. He took Lao Jiang away and made a bad joke.
He told Chen Shaokuan how rich the Qin State was and that his aircraft carrier plan could finally be realized.
Chen Shaokuan has been in Qin for more than two months, but Wang Jiuling has never met him. Instead, he directly asked him to go to the navy. His position is deputy minister of the navy, and the chief commander is Sa Zhenbing, so the position is still very high, although not as good as
The Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Navy sounded nice, and it seemed that he had been demoted one level. However, when he saw the Qin Navy, he felt that the trip was worth it. The Qin Navy was not comparable to the Chinese Navy. The Qin Navy was basically
They are all new warships, but the people on the ships are also young people in their twenties and thirties. Although they feel that they are too young, inexperienced, and may not have enough combat effectiveness, after some observation, I know that this Qin navy is comparable to China's
Those navy crews are much more energetic, and their navy uniforms are also nice.
When Chen Shaokuan arrived, Qin already had several escort aircraft carriers and they were conducting drills. Although he didn't understand why Wang Jiuling wanted to build so many small aircraft carriers that could only carry a dozen or twenty aircraft, when he learned that there were already two four-ship
When the 10,000-ton aircraft carrier was about to be launched, he realized that Chiang Kai-shek was right. Wang Jiuling was not only rich, but also knew the role of aircraft carriers very well. He probably built so many light aircraft carriers to train aircraft carrier personnel in advance.
Chen Shaokuan knew that it would take a long time for the navy to become an army. Wang Jiuling probably did this just to buy time. Although he didn't know why Wang Jiuling hadn't seen him for so long, Wang Jiuling naturally admired him for giving him such a high position.
, maybe Wang Jiuling wanted him to stay in the navy for a while, and then see him again
The longer Chen Shaokuan stayed in the navy, he found that what Qin's navy was lacking now was people. As long as there were enough people, nothing else was a problem. Qin now had more than 80 submarines, ten cruisers, and four destroyers.
Ten, other torpedo boats, and minesweepers are even more numerous.
But what surprised him the most was that in addition to the two aircraft carriers that Wang Jiuling was about to commission, there were actually three more to be completed by the end of the year. What was even more surprising was that four more 60,000-ton aircraft carriers would be built by the end of next year.
Then Qin will have 9 real aircraft carriers, and Wang Jiuling is building more and bigger aircraft carriers every year. Maybe Qin will have 20 aircraft carriers without waiting for five years.
Chen Shaokuan hated himself. If he had come to Qin earlier, wouldn't his aircraft carrier plan have been realized earlier? He had long heard that Qin was very rich. After staying in Qin for a while, he found that ordinary people were eating well.
It was even better than what he had in China. In addition, he saw houses everywhere, the streets were so well built, the houses were so beautiful, and the military equipment was definitely better than all the countries he had seen.
Chen Shaokuan is particularly looking forward to meeting Wang Jiuling now, but what he needs to do now is to understand the Qin State and the army, especially the navy. Maybe Wang Jiuling will let him see it first and then let him put forward some opinions. He will not be embarrassed then.
