In this rare peace break, the main force of the Bohai Fleet, which had experienced a large-scale maritime attack and defense after the war, had a rest in Dalian Bay. The Naval Command invited Zhang Hanqing to give a lecture to the troops.
The war is not over yet, and the army still needs to work hard. Zhang Hanqing has long planned to take a look at his navy in person. He just took this opportunity to correct his shortcomings in naval development and reward the officers and soldiers of the fleet who participated in the war.
Although they were blocked outside the port by Japan's superior fleet, the Chinese officers and soldiers' unafraid of sacrifice also prevented the Japanese ships from crossing the Miaodao Islands, objectively protecting the safety of major industrial cities in the Bohai Bay.
It is true that the Japanese Navy claimed to have won a strategic victory, but in Zhang Hanqing's mind, China actually had an advantage in both tactics and strategy. It can be said that he never thought that the naval battle would turn out like this.
In my impression, the huge Japanese combined fleet can compete with powerful countries such as Britain and the United States. Now the young Chinese navy not only fought with it, but also successively sank the light cruiser "Yura", five destroyers, and Although the heavy cruiser "Izumo" took advantage of the geographical convenience and used almost the entire Bohai Fleet except submarines and torpedo boats, and there were some luck factors, victory is victory, and this cannot be changed.
The Chinese Navy has made a good start, which is of great significance to it: the Navy has since gained confidence, which is something that no equipment can do.
During the birth of the People's Army, the Navy was behind the Army and was almost born out of the Army. This made the Navy inherently overwhelmed by the Army. In the future, if it wants to become the world's most important maritime power and a double-headed eagle that can keep pace with the Army, this victory It is quite important. At least, Guo Songling can ask Zhang Hanqing for money, and Zhang Hanqing can also tilt military expenditures to the navy.
In the ten days since the armistice, Zhang Hanqing has spoken with no less than five groups of German military elites.
In addition to consolidating the sharing of experience between the two countries in the manufacture and use of submarines, he also frankly introduced to his army elites the Chinese Army's efforts in trying mechanization, China, especially his concept of land-air battle, and the Chinese Navy's view of naval aviation. The construction and other topics, especially the Air Force's theory of sea control, which was of great interest to the German naval community, greatly impressed the rising stars of the German Navy.
And Zhang Hanqing lost no time in mentioning that he hopes Germany will continue to provide China with much-needed help in the military industry. In the past few days, he and his German friends discussed the plan to open Krupp Enterprise to China. Just this year, due to the political climate, Krupp, the German military industry leader, no longer has to carry out weapons development in secret.
Since the beginning of the Westernization Movement, China has customized warships and cannons from the German Krupp Arsenal, and Zhang Hanqing has established a good relationship with it for a long time after his time travel. From 75mm mountain guns to 125mm howitzers, from large submarines to small torpedoes, as well as various precision mechanical machine tools, Krupp has formed a good relationship with the Fengtian military industry department, which is also a portrayal of the Sino-German honeymoon. .
Don¡¯t simply interpret this kind of military-industrial assistance as Germany¡¯s charity to China. You must know that the top brass of the People¡¯s Army headed by Zhang Hanqing have put in a lot of effort:
He first took advantage of Germany's internal and external difficulties after World War I but hoped to maintain its military capabilities to introduce corresponding weapons and give it the strategic materials necessary to develop its domestic economy. At this point, the transaction between the two parties was fair and mutually beneficial. ;
¡° Then he guaranteed the sharing of the People¡¯s Army¡¯s ability to introduce, absorb and improve these military products, so that Germany could devote itself wholeheartedly to it and give the green light for China¡¯s military industry to truly learn from experience.
You must know that Germany¡¯s rigor is a century-old inheritance. It is by no means simply to buy some machine tools and imitate some weapons and have a look at the whole body. The spirit is the cornerstone of their success.
Take Krupp, the representative of the German military industry, as an example: The Krupp family has always been the pillar of German militarism and is favored by the highest authorities in the country.
? It is the tradition of this family to abide by time, obey discipline and execute orders. Take meal time as an example. Breakfast is at 7:15. People who arrive at 7:16 will find that the restaurant is closed and others have already started eating. In addition, even in the dead of winter, the family members would not light up the fireplace and deliberately make the office cold to avoid becoming listless
After World War I, the Allies dismantled the factory and the Krupp family were declared war criminals. In such a difficult environment, Krupp continued to establish new companies and build new factories to maintain its century-old honor. The arsenal established by Zhang Hanqing in Lanzhou received its help from the beginning.
Two years ago, at the request of the German General Staff, Krupp built the first batch of armored vehicles, and two years later, in 1928, it resumed the production of cannons.
Since China has inherited all aspects of German technology,The surviving pilots who have participated in two air battles are assigned to these rookies as their flight instructors. The experience of warriors who have experienced blood and fire is much more vivid than the regulations in textbooks. Leading the new with the old is the best way to promote the development of the new branch of the Air Force.
Similarly, the naval surface forces no longer have the ability to engage in major battles. In addition to serving as sea school instructors and training ship captains, many of these future Chinese seeds will be promoted.
China is actively preparing for war here, and Japan is also sharpening its sword over there. However, because both sides had experienced a large-scale war of attrition and both needed to sit down and lick their wounds and take a break, under the "mediation" of all parties, they both agreed to take a rare breather.
The purpose of the halftime break is to determine the winner in the next round. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
