4.40 On the Huangpu River (2)

"Isn't that child's play? Bunbai? It was Minister of the Navy Chen Shaokuan who spoke. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Of course it won't be child's play! I believe in Master Huang, and he also guarantees that he is 50% sure! General Zhang's expression when he spoke didn't seem to be only five points sure, it was like he had ten points of success!

"Fifty percent! Isn't that child's play? The country spends real money on the navy! Bunbai, I can't take any chances! ”

"Can anyone protect you 100% of the war?"

General Zhang's rhetorical question made Minister Chen feel that his words were a little out of shape, indeed, the pursuit of stability is the requirement of his heart, who doesn't want to take credit and not take risks? But this kind of subtext is not very good to say!

Chen Shaokuan's face changed quickly, Huang Haoran held back a smile on the other side, and remembered some interesting things about Chen Shaokuan in his mind.

This Minister Chen is the first person to propose that China build aircraft carriers!

As early as 1928, Chen Shaokuan, then commander of the Second Fleet of the Chinese Navy, once wrote a letter asking for 20 million silver dollars to build China's first aircraft carrier.

With China's national strength and industrial base at that time, such a request was inevitably a little unrealistic, the highest authorities in order to take care of Chen Shaokuan's feelings, the implementation of the procrastination, according to the "plan" approved by Nanjing, in 1943, the Navy could build the first aircraft carrier, but now it has only been 37 years, the little devil has moved, it seems that the Navy's 1943 shipbuilding plan needless to say will be postponed indefinitely!

Just because Chen Shaokuan wanted to build an aircraft carrier, Huang Haoran dared to conclude that this admiral who was almost 50 years old was ambitious, and in fact, Huang Haoran guessed correctly!

Chen Shaokuan, the Minister of the Navy, is not a person who sells fame and reputation, otherwise General Zhang would not have come to Jiangyin at the instigation of Huang Haoran.

Minister Chen was definitely one of the few naval talents in China at that time, and his vision could even be said to be a little ahead!

Chen Shaokuan, who was born in Min County, Fujian Province, was admitted to Fuzhou Gezhi Academy in the 29th year of Guangxu. Guangxu 31 years to Shanghai, introduced by Sa Zhenbing, in the "Jiangnan Sailor School" study, the Republic of China 18 years in March Jiang Gui War broke out, Chen Shaokuan personally with the "Yingrui" flagship escort the highest authorities of the second westward expedition, in June of the same year, the Nanjing government restored the Admiralty, Chen Shaokuan as the Admiralty Parliamentary Secretary and Commander of the Second Fleet, soon Minister Yang Shuzhuang and Fujian Governor, the ministry was deputized by Chen Shaokuan, and then was officially appointed as the acting minister and director of the Jiangnan Shipyard. In the 21st year of the Republic of China, he was promoted to Admiral of the Ministry of the Navy and became a member of the National Defense Committee of the Nanjing Government and a member of the Central Executive Committee of the ruling party.

Chen Shaokuan is a soldier who has spent his whole life in the navy! He knew that the main opponent of the Chinese Navy in a few years would be Japan, so he founded the "Naval University" and hired Japanese naval experts to give lectures on "Advanced Military Science" and "International Law of the Sea" respectively, hoping to "know oneself and know one's enemy." As a result, this move, which was originally very conducive to the improvement of the military quality of the Chinese Navy, aroused the dissatisfaction of 23 captains, including Lin Yuanquan, the captain of the "Ying Rui," who jointly accused Chen Shaokuan of being "pro-Japanese." Chen Shaokuan was "investigated and punished", so he resigned in anger......

In 1937, Chen Shaokuan was the deputy head of the delegation of the Nationalist Government, went to the United Kingdom to attend the coronation of King George VI of the United Kingdom, and later transferred to Germany to inspect the navy. On July 7, Chen Shaokuan, who was visiting Britain at the time of the outbreak of China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, was urgently recalled. Chiang Kai-shek appointed him as commander of the Chinese Navy and presided over the defense of the Yangtze River. Close the waterway of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River to defend China's rear.

Japan now has the third most powerful navy in the world, while the Chinese navy is weak and backward, and the tonnage of its capital ships is even inferior to that of the Beiyang Naval Division a few decades ago. How to fight it? The Nanjing Ministry of National Defense believes that if the Japanese ships cannot be stopped from going upstream, the Yangtze River will be completely cut off, and no one will want to pass through here!

After receiving the order, Chen Shaokuan urgently requisitioned dozens of merchant ships and sank them to the bottom of the river together with eight old ships of the navy, building a solid "Jiangyin blockade line" almost overnight. In this incredible way, he blocked the route in the waters of Jiangyin and built a strong water fortress.

When Chen Shaokuan sank the old ship to the bottom of the river, he was still dreaming of becoming a naval power: from Liaodong to the Sino-Vietnamese border in the South China Sea, it divided four major theaters and built 20 aircraft carriers, each at a cost of about 1.8 billion yuan. The opposite of persistence is stubbornness. In Chen Shaokuan's view, he is practicing his dream of becoming a naval power; In the eyes of others, this is stubbornness, foolishness.

Such a patriotic general, Huang Haoran is respectful, he saw that Chen Shaokuan was a little hesitant about his plan, and knew that he had to push it on the navy's ass again, he saw Chen Shaokuan's desk with newspapers from the last few days, so he got up and took it and put it on the coffee table in front of Chen Shaokuan.

"Minister Chen, look for yourself what the newspapers say about your navy! And then make a decision without ......"

Chen Shaokuan looked at the young major general in front of him with some doubts, these days I have not seen the report of the 99th Division in the newspaper, this Huang Division Commander has been somewhat deified, it seems to be an invincible god of war, if it were not for such a figure pulling the banner in front of the navy, his subordinates would not be so restless.

"I've read the newspaper a long time ago, where is there any news about our navy on it, Brother Haoran doesn't want to look at my age, just come and yell at me......"

Huang Haoran smiled, stared at Chen Shaokuan and said, "Minister Chen is right, there is indeed no half word in the newspaper mentioning the navy, but does Minister Chen think this is normal?" The country's air force is fighting, the country's army is bleeding, but what about the country's navy? Don't we have a navy in China? ”

Please be as good as the agitation! Huang Haoran made a ruthless move!

After listening to Huang Haoran's words, Minister Chen couldn't hold back his face, yes, the army has 99 divisions to destroy thousands of enemies, conquer the headquarters of the Japanese Marine Corps, and even Dachuan Neichuan Seven was killed! Although the air force that became the latest to become an army was at a disadvantage in the battle with the Japanese army, it also had the feat of 6:0 over Hangzhou and the aircraft crashing and sinking the enemy ship, only the navy, which was supposed to exert its might on the sea, did not make any achievements, and the torpedo boat that raided the "Izumo" still belonged to the Jiangfang fleet, and the main ship of the navy has not moved in Jiangyin!

The navy that Chen Shaokuan wants to build is not like this!

He, a supporter of the big navy in his bones, now feels a little depressed!

"As long as my 99th Division can cooperate with the navy, what you need to take out is only two boats and two bombs, even if it can't succeed in the end, this operation can also lift the spirit of the people! It's not too much to do this kind of thing a hundred times, Minister Chen, what are you hesitating about? ”

Chen Shaokuan was moved by Huang Haoran's words, he leaned back in his chair, took a deep breath, and then looked up to the sky and sighed:

"In 1919, I attended the Paris Peace Conference as a naval representative. There, I witnessed with my own eyes how the Western powers divided their interests and bullied the weak under the banner of "peace". Although China is a victorious country, it is like a piece of meat on the board, which can be slaughtered and toyed with by others, and it hurts to the skin! Strong power is justice, and weak countries have no diplomacy. If you want to stand tall on the international stage full of jackals, tigers and leopards, the only way is to improve yourself! Therefore, I am secretly determined to defend the dignity of the country with a powerful fleet! I have been planning for the navy all my life, but I didn't expect that the Japanese would be killed before I was fledgling! The aircraft carrier plan has come to naught! Cease.. Cease.. Cease! Simply rely on the old and sell the old, and block the wind and rain for you in front of the highest authorities! It's a big deal to jump off the deck and die in the waves. I, Chen Shaokuan, have no children and no daughters, I am alone, and I don't care about death! ”

Huang Haoran and General Zhang saw that their goal had been achieved, they looked at each other and smiled, and Huang Haoran said loudly:

"Minister Chen, I, Huang Haoran, just guarantee that you don't have to jump into the sea, if you really want to jump, you should let me jump, and I will naturally bear it!"

Chen Shaokuan's heart was settled, and his spirit became cheerful, pointing at Huang Haoran and saying to General Zhang: "Wenbai! You be a witness for me, and if things don't work out, you kick this kid into the sea for me! ”

General Zhang replied: "Certainly, I must kick very hard!" ”

Then the three of them laughed together, and they were very happy.......
