The Ashigara was also successfully salvaged, after all, it was more convenient in the harbor.

Meng Xiang specially produced a 1,000-ton salvage ship for this purpose to participate in the salvage, mainly because there were many sunken ships in Qingdao Port. The devil is really determined, and forty or fifty large and small ships have been sunk, and some civilian ships have sunk in a hurry, but they have only opened the sea valve, and they can still be used when they are salvaged. Although the base shipyard does not repair civilian ships, it can disassemble parts on some warships to repair civilian ships.

After the Ashigara was salvaged, it was sent directly to the newly built shipyard in Qingdao Port, and outsiders only saw that it was a simple and tall factory. There were soldiers outside, and I couldn't see what was going on there.

"Can we go in and have a look?" Yang Junsheng asked.

"Not for the time being, the ship is being repaired inside!" Dog 712 replied solemnly.

"I'm an engineer at the shipyard, so maybe I can help!" Yang Junsheng is now the director of the Great China Shipbuilding Machinery Factory, and his factory is said to have been occupied by himself. Although he studied in Yueben, he still categorically refused to cooperate with Yue himself and went to Yucheng. This time, when he heard the news that the vanguard army salvaged the wreck of the devil, he came with his friend Fan Xudong. He really wanted to help the Vanguard get these two ships repaired.

"I'm also a shipbuilder, so maybe I can help!" Xin Yixin also shouted loudly beside him. There are ready-made ships, and after repairing them, you can fight devils.

"And I, also a naval engineer, can we help a little, let's go inside!" Seeing the huge body of the Ashigara being slowly dragged into the shipyard, Zhu Tianbing also shouted anxiously.

"We can help too!" Wu Jingying and Wang Gongheng also shouted.

"I'm a marine engineer, I can help fix it!" Shen Yuerui shouted directly.

"I'll repair it too, I've repaired warships in England!" Zhang Wenzhi, who had just graduated, also shouted.

…… Someone told Meng Xiang all this in time.

"Ship repairs? Good! It's a great learning opportunity to get those people to come! Just take care to prevent vandalism! Meng Xiang said happily, the devil's shipbuilding skills are also good, and he can learn a lot from it, and he can digest and absorb it as his own.

Meng Xiang naturally didn't know that these people accounted for half of the top ten shipbuilding experts recognized by later generations, but their enthusiasm could not be dampened.

As long as the transmission is not turned on in the shipyard, after a little camouflage, there is nothing unusual to see, at most there is more metal.

"Everyone, register now! After verification, it is possible to enter to participate in the repair work. Dog 712 shouted.

Some people also came to sign up, even if they were not experts, they could see the behemoth up close. But the guarantor and the provision of proof of identity blocked them. Engineers and mechanics who are not specialized in ship repair are not allowed to enter, even naval officers. The more people there are, the more energy is required to camouflage the base, and it is easy to get into holes.

"I don't know if I can fix it? How nice it would be to have a ship like this! Yu Zhenxing sighed.

After the news of the Vanguard's salvage of the Izumo and Ashigara broke, many people from the Central Navy ran over. They were not interested in the torpedo boats of the Vanguard Army, and because of the strife between the various factions, only some young students joined the Vanguard Navy.

But by this time, both the Izumo and the Ashigara had been salvaged, and it was likely that one of them had been repaired, which was a shock to the whole country. You must know that the largest tonnage warships in China are only Dingyuan and Zhenyuan in the former Qing Dynasty, and their tonnage is only 7,335 tons. The displacement of the Izumo, which was an armored cruiser, was 9,750 tons, and the displacement of the heavy cruiser was 10,940 tons, which exceeded 10,000 tons. It was just after the first modification in '36. The displacement was much more, and before the second modification, it was forced to sink by the Vanguard.

If either of these two ships is repaired, that one will have the meaning of breaking through the surname. No matter who becomes the captain of this ship, it is a rare honor in a lifetime, and they will probably never see Huaxia build such a big ship in their lives.

The crowd also saw the benefits and flocked to it. Even Lao Chiang saw the doorway and had already made a promise that if the vanguard army could repair any of them, he could send the name of the Fifth Fleet over.

At this time, there were few ships left in the Chinese navy. If a ship of nearly 10,000 tons came out and it was obtained from Yue himself, it would be a big show of face in the international community. Lao Jiang Ke was on the cover of Time magazine again not long ago.

"It's not necessarily a good thing for the vanguard army to have this ship, not to mention that they will retaliate, and the cost of raising the ship alone will make the finances a lot tighter. The Fifth Fleet, the name is good. All of a sudden, it belonged to the central government. Lao Jiang has a good idea! Shen Honglie also came over to watch the excitement.

Song Yi smiled and said: "With such a ship here, I'm afraid the vanguard army will not be at peace!" ”

"What if you don't have peace? If I have this ship and say that I am here, I will first say that I am facing the sky! "Shen Honglie, the chairman of Shandong, can be said to be a single commander. After Qingdao was recovered, Shen Honglie sent people to contact him, but the common people did not approve of it, and only recognized the vanguard army.

There is also news from the neighboring Weifang area, and this subsistence allowance is really being carried out, not out of shape. In order to reassure the people and facilitate registration, the first phase of subsidized grain has been distributed along with the registration records. With the subsistence allowance, who still recognizes this former mayor?

Shen Honglie is also helpless, and when the gap between the two sides in strength is too big, he will not be angry. The trick of subsistence allowance, no matter what, he can't think of a better way to solve it. When he heard about the Pioneer Army's salvage of the devil's shipwreck, his mind to win politically faded, but his love for the navy did not diminish at all.

Shen Honglie and Chen Ce were known as Southern Chen and Northern Shen, and they were both the most warlike generals in the navy at that time. In particular, Shen Honglie has fought with the Russians, with Yue himself, and in the civil war, all of which have wonderful examples.

He can only be regarded as a good admiral, leading the Qingdao department, that is, the Northeast Navy, and can always fight against the Fujian department. But he is not an excellent politician, although he has always been wary of Lao Jiang and is not interested in Lao Jiang, but later he fell to Lao Jiang's side in the line.

The details are not casually guessed by later generations, but Lao Shen has always been haunted by the scene of the shipwreck when he was evacuated from Qingdao. The navy of the Central Army is finished, and so is his fleet. The Navy lost its ship, just as a soldier ran out of a gun.

"This time I saw a lot of old acquaintances, it seems that this time it is really the whole world! They all came to the ashigara. Song Ye saw Fang Ying and Zhou Xianzhang talking in the distance, and did not pick up Shen Honglie's scratches, so he couldn't help but change the topic and smiled.

This is a factional struggle within the navy at that time. There are four major factions within the navy, the Fujian system, the Qingdao system, the electric thunder system, and the Guangdong system.

As long as the modern history is opened, many of the figures in the navy are linked to the Fujian system, from the end of the Qing Dynasty to the great power of the navy, until the modern era have their shadow, a hundred years of modern navy can be said to have been the world of the Fujian system. However, the exclusive surname of the Fujian family made it impossible for him to grow stronger, and putting the interests of the first family above the interests of the state is not the true essence of the modern navy at all.

The Min family, who drank English tea and spoke English, had to look like an English gentleman when they went to war, but they only did not learn the European saying that national interests are supreme. But among the four major departments, their naval level should be said to be the highest. The power is also the largest, so big that even Lao Jiang can't do it. They can also be regarded as a kind of warlords, Fujian naval warlords of their own faction.

For this reason, Lao Jiang began to woo Shen Honglie, Shen Honglie began to work against the Fujian system from a very early time when the Northeast Navy with strong characteristics of the Fujian system, although he and Chen Ce are both brave and good generals, but the power of the Fujian system for a hundred years is too huge, and it is not something that any of them can shake.

At this time, Lao Jiang threw out the electric thunder department of his descendants, the electric thunder school founded by Ouyang Ge. The three factions fought against the Min system, and the Min system still occupied half of the country.

But all this has disappeared with the sinking of most of the ships of the Navy. The boats are gone, what are you arguing about?

At this time, the appearance of the Ashigara and Izumo gave the shuffled hand a chance to decide the winner. Whoever wins the jackpot of this new ship first will take the initiative.

As for the vanguard army, they didn't think much about it, and in everyone's information, the vanguard army only had a few torpedo boats, and the number of people in the navy could not make up the full strength of one ship, and it was not their turn to speak. This is also the reason why Lao Jiang generously gave a Fifth Fleet establishment.

It is very expensive to build a navy, and it will definitely greatly affect the subsistence allowance of the vanguard army. Moreover, they do not have the talent yet, so it is just right to mix sand into it, so that the vanguard army can also taste the difficulty of those unruly characters of the navy. If it is not built, then a sign of the Fifth Fleet will be hung there, and there will be captured ships of the Say, and the hatred of the Captain will be immediately transferred to the vanguard army, and it will be difficult to protect himself.

"What if I'm here? Still no return! At this time, Meng Xiang was very relaxed. The first French cannon had already been built, with a 3-meter-thick fortress and non-large-tonnage shells, which had no effect on it.

The caliber of the French cannon is still 210 mm, although the long barrel is not as exaggerated as the Paris cannon, but it is also eye-catching, and the range is not so exaggerated, but it is also a hundred kilometers, which can almost directly cover the range of the radar, and the accuracy is several levels higher than that of the Paris cannon, and it can accurately attack almost 100 kilometers.

Meng Xiang tried an artillery shell according to the radar display, and the error was very small, no more than 100 meters at 100 kilometers. This is a shell, not a missile of later generations, which is already a high number. The reason why it is so high is because the intelligence of the French cannon and the commander's work are combined, that is to say, the French cannon needs to be used by people to determine the target through the brain.

Meng Xiang is also very helpless about this, the base is the largest, and he said it. Fortunately, the commander was able to appoint four acting gunners, exactly one at the first level, and four gunners to help with the work, which also avoided the waste of redundant French cannons in one base. Anyway, there are only five people to work on, and no amount of French cannon can be built, unless it is limited by the terrain, constantly switching between different areas.

The power of the experimental cannon is also ideal, because of the high muzzle velocity, its power can be equal to the power of a 305 mm naval gun, and it may not work against the thick armor of some battleships, but it can be fatal against aircraft carriers, cruisers, and even the weak positions of battleships.

"Come on! Come on! Meng Xiang was a little nervous.

The shipwreck of the devil gave him an opportunity to develop the navy openly and avoid the suspicion of others, although the devil's ships are not the most advanced, but they are also more practical, such as the Ashigara, and the aircraft carrier Soryu that is being salvaged. The construction of the aircraft carrier Canglong only began last year before it was sunk by the Vanguard. With appropriate modifications, it can be used not only as a training ship, but also as an attack aircraft carrier, and it is no problem.

The Izumo is too badly damaged and old, so this one can be repaired with the base, replaced with some anti-aircraft guns, and can continue to be used. It is also not expected to go to the front, after all, its symbolism is greater than its practical application.

The Ashigara was also not very outdated in World War II, and if you modify it and change it to an anti-aircraft gun, it can also be used as a capital ship.

After the Canglong was repaired, the air force of the vanguard army was no longer afraid of stimulating the nerves of the little devils. The Canglong aircraft carrier can carry more than 70 planes at a time, which is enough to ensure the escort safety of the Vanguard Army's bomber formation.

"Bastard, he's humiliating us. Go blow them up again! Hasegawa Kiyoshi roared angrily. But such an angry roar was of no avail, and at this time, all the naval ships in China might not be able to deal with the vanguard army. The latest news has already come that the Vanguard is installing large-caliber shore guns, the largest reaching 457 mm.

Hasegawa Kiyoshi couldn't help but be shocked when he heard it, this is not a mortar, right?

But the photos that came out of the 12th show that this is not a mortar, but a real naval gun. A comparison of the scales next to it shows that it is indeed 18 inches.

Hasegawa Kiyoshi couldn't help but gasp, if such a cannon hit, no ship could withstand it. According to such a caliber and body tube, plus a condescending advantage, how can you fight against it? Besides, there was a thick fortress on top of that shore gun.
