Ask for favorites, ask for recommendations

The long whistle of whining was accompanied by the clattering of anchors. The British Kunad's cruise ship, Princess Mary, slowly sailed into the Guangzhou wharf. On the deck of the cruise ship, gentlemen and ladies from all over the southern country are waving goodbye to the people who are seeing them off on the shore. Among them were the members of the "National Political Axe Expedition" group, which was led by Chiang Kai-shek and Luo Yaoguo.

The destination of this visit was Europe and the United States, mainly Britain, France, the United States, the Soviet Union, and of course, Italy and Germany, two "less important" countries along the way. It is said that the current national political axe has taken refuge in the three imperialists of Britain, the United States and France. Naturally, the Kuomintang who had just settled down South China should also send someone to visit them to pay a visit to the dock, shouldn't they? In addition, I also want to go to Soviet Russia to meet Daddy Si and explain to others the hardships of our national political axe, and it is a last resort to take refuge in Anglo-American France. In short, we are still in Cao Ying, our hearts are in Han, and our hearts are always towards Moscow.

The cruise ship, named Princess Mary, is a "giant lun" of more than 10,000 tons, which has just been brought from the Mediterranean Sea to run the Asia-Europe route. The facilities and decoration of the ship are almost half-new, and the running is not slow, and the wide Pearl River estuary was driven out in one morning.

The waters of the South China Sea are as blue as a glittering blanket, and the waves roll in layers, like a layer of turquoise blanket slowly undulating. When the sun shines, the eyes are full of blue light. The air is filled with hot flashes, and when you look into the distance, your eyes seem to be exhausted into infinite distance.

Luo Yaoguo dangled on the deck with his hands behind his back, and followed by a cute little Lori in a maid costume. It was the little North Korean girl that Kim Zuo Jin gave to him that day, and her name was Zheng Yingji. He is 15 years old. Parents were in North Korea seven years ago three. Martyrdom in righteousness together. The little girl was adopted by her parents' friend, that is, Jin Zuozhen, and has been studying with the reading force elements in Shanghai, and she is really a pure student girl, and this time she was actually used as a gift to contribute to the cause of reading power in North Korea. However, Luo Yaoguo, a righteous gentleman, has not swallowed this little Lori who is a little ignorant so far. It seems like it's really ...... It's a bit hard to eat.

This little girl is really pitiful to say, she was helpless at a young age, and she was sent away by a ill-intentioned uncle. probably knows that this matter will inevitably be ravaged in the end, so the little girl does not refuse outright, but always says timidly: "Master...... I'm still young. "Uh, that look, with his head down and answering shyly, a pair of Danfeng eyes were also full of tears...... How can people bear to talk about this? Besides, it's not like people won't give it to you! Is it okay to grow up in the future?

Well, this little girl is actually quite clingy. During the time he came out, his eyes were always shining, and he turned left and right around Luo Yaoguo like a kitten, and he almost waged his tail. Maybe she doesn't have any bad feelings towards Luo Yaoguo, right? It's just that when it comes to sleeping at night, he hides in his own small room, then uses a chair against the door, and then wraps his body tightly with a blanket, as if it is safe in this way. I wonder if I'm looking for an opportunity to break in?

"Auxiliary text...... Luo Fuwen. ”

The thick Hokkien accent suddenly sounded in Luo Yaoguo's ears. I don't know when the Chinese navy has been monopolized by the Fujian gang, and even the miscellaneous conversations on the ships are like this.

Luo Yaoguo turned his head and saw a little gray-haired old man, wearing an admiral's uniform, who was nodding at himself with a smile and a smile. Oh, this is the Secretary of the Navy, Sa Zhenbing. He had a lot of respect for the old man and the party, and he gave him a minister of the navy, and he offered it high.

Luo Yaoguo didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and immediately gave a military salute cleanly: "Ding Gong, do you have anything important to do with your juniors?" ”

Old man Sa smiled kindly, stroked his beard and nodded: "Why can't I come to you, the Minister of Armaments, if there is no important matter?" ”

Luo Yaoguo smiled and waved his hand: "Ding Gong is an old-timer in our military circles, if there is anything to do, just send someone to make a sound, how dare you work hard?" ”

This is said insincerely, [***] Who takes the navy seriously? Who thinks of the Navy as their own? At present, the military expenditure of 500 million yuan per year is 200 million yuan for the Ministry of Armaments alone, and the army gets 200 million yuan, and the navy ...... About 10 million. Finally, the military salary can be paid on time, and there is no shortage of ammunition and fuel for training. If you want to embezzle some and embezzle a little, the Military Commission will turn a blind eye, even if it is to carry passengers on warships. But if you want to buy a ship and build a ship, it's just two words "no play". It's almost an abandoned class.

Old man Sa smiled slightly, his two weathered old eyes rolled around, came to Luo Yaoguo's side, took his hand and said with a smile: "If Fuwen says this, my old man will take it seriously." Our Kuomintang delegation this time...... Do you have any plans to go to Europe to help the navy buy warships? Looking at the old man's eyes again, his eyes were full of expectation, which seemed to be the expectation of the entire Chinese Navy, and it was really unbearable to refuse.

Luo Yaoguo frowned slightly, buy more warships? How much does that cost? However, this time Europe did have this idea, mainly to introduce shipbuilding technology from the Germans. They were defeated in the last world war, and high-tech weapons such as airplanes, warships, and submarines could not be carried out in a transparent manner, but could only be developed secretly. So Luo Yaoguo wondered if there could be a technical cooperation or something, but the focus was on basic materials, aircraft and submarine technology.

"Ding Gong, I don't know what the Navy has about purchasing additional warships?" Luo Yaoguo was embarrassed to refuse the old man, but tried to change the topic.

Sa Zhenbing patted the side of the cruise ship and said with a smile: "Of course there are ideas, but that's just wishful thinking." I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it, Houfu (Chen Shaokuan, commander of the Second Fleet) and Ji Liang (Chen Jiliang, commander of the First Fleet) jointly made a naval development plan, proposing to build a new navy with 150,000 tons of capital ships, and strive to reach the sixth place in the world. Wanted two battleships, six heavy cruisers and eight light cruisers. This proposal is still locked in my office drawer, and I am embarrassed to send it to the Military Commission, for fear of your jokes. Brother Fuwen, do you think it's possible for your armaments department to meet some of them? ”

At that time, the cost of Britain's mainstream battleships was about 2 million pounds, about 10 million US dollars, and more than 30 million legal dollars. A treaty cruiser is about a million dollars, and four or five million legal dollars. A light patrol costs about several hundred thousand dollars and two million legal dollars. According to the cost of this 150,000-ton capital ship, it is more than 100 million, but it is not impossible to build.

Now that the national government has invested a lot in the army, and its enthusiasm for heavy industry is not insignificant, should the navy also benefit from it? In particular, the coastline of South China is extremely vast, and without a strong navy, it is impossible to guarantee coastal defense, and now foreign enemies can land at any point at will. So with such an idea, Sa Zhenbing is now tentatively proposing the Admiralty's shipbuilding plan to see if there is a door?
