Chapter 490: Exploding the Navy (Part II)

Dingtian Novel .dtxsj.@@@@@

After a day of hustle and bustle, Qinzhou Bay finally calmed down, and only the shipyard was still brightly lit. Ella Book House.26book.

The 2 United Forces-class battleships that they did not want to buy have left, and they will go to Sandu Aoxin Mawei and Shanghai Jiangnan Factory respectively to receive minor modifications such as replacing Chinese logos, and wait for the new owners to wait for the ships. The fleet remains here to unload and transport equipment to factories across the country via the Southwestern Rail network. Wang Zhengting's telegram has arrived, and the first batch of 700 German technicians has set off, and the rest will gradually arrive in three months. German industry, which had been salsacked by Versailles, needed to get off to a new start, and China was undoubtedly a better market and a place to preserve skilled workers. Finally, there is the refit of ships, except for two oil tankers that will stay for a while longer and can only be sold to Huachen Petroleum Company after the research is completed, and icebreakers will also be organized to be handed over to the navy, and the rest will be removed from the German logo and sold to the booming domestic ocean shipping companies.

Workers who went to Europe are also gradually returning, and they will become the cornerstone of the industrial leap forward together with skilled workers recruited from Russia and from all over the world. Please come in and go out, this is the path that closed China must unswervingly take. This road is also suitable for education, more than 10,000 teachers of all kinds supported by Britain and France have gradually penetrated into schools across the country, and at least 1,000 public students per year must also be adhered to for a long time, although education can not be immediately effective, but what about 20 years later?! Until today, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief, the dream industry is accumulating little by little and gradually improving, from scratch, from there to quantity, from quantity to quality, this is the industrial law that no one can change! All you can do is try to shorten it as much as you can. The whole country is cheering for China to move towards industry, but who would have thought of the people who would have mastered and built it all. In fact, is it just to make the data machine more effective? Back then, it was impossible to manufacture drawings with so many advanced weapons, and even the simplest machine guns and cannons were extremely difficult, but now all it takes is time.

Yang Qiu stood on the balcony, his hands rolled into a cylinder in front of his eyes, looking at the bright slipway and ancillary factories like a child. The corners of his mouth hooked up slightly. Five years! This is the goal he has set for himself. From 1920 to 1925, it was necessary to digest all this batch of German technology and equipment, and then make every effort to develop heavy industries such as steel, petroleum, coal, electric power, telecommunications, chemicals, and equipment manufacturing, which had a bearing on the country's future.

Miao Luo held the cup. Quietly watching the man on the balcony stretch his body, sometimes frowning, sometimes smiling. Immersed in some inexplicable emotion. When he finally used the "artificial telescope" to see the shipyard like a child, he finally couldn't help but burst out laughing. The slight roll of his eyes also raised his naughty heart, and he leaned over: "I want to see it too." ”

Yang Qiu turned his head and smiled, put the cup next to him, then took Miao Luo in his arms and put it in front of her eyes, and said with a smile: "What do you see?" ”

"The shipyard and the sea."

"What else?"

"What else?" The whirring heat in his ears made Miao Luo's whole body numb, and he leaned softly on Yang Qiu's arms thinking about his problem. She looked very good when she thought about the problem, her thin eyebrows were gently twisted and squeezed out of the Sichuan character in the middle of her forehead, her red lips were slightly pursed, the corners of her mouth were upturned, and even the tip of her nose was wrinkled.

Yang Qiu looked at him quietly. The picture of the two meeting and acquaintance flashed in his mind, especially the embarrassment of unintentional healing, which made his heart even hotter. After many years, this woman has completely transformed into another person, and her whole body exudes a luxurious and mature atmosphere. Inside the silk nightgown are two upright clusters of stagnation, the curve winding downward and gradually narrowing. When it passed through the waist, it suddenly enlarged, and the plump that couldn't even wrap the robe was tightly clinging to his arms, warm and smooth.

Miao Luo's body, who was thinking about the problem, trembled slightly, and after feeling Yang Qiu's abnormality, his body became softer, and his little hand quietly slid to his buttocks, and his breath was like Lan Mei's eyes like silk: "Haven't told me anything yet." "It's the future. Ours, and the state. "The coquettishness of lovers is like a basin of gasoline. Yang Qiu hugged her waist with one hand, slowly slid to her chest with one hand, and gently flicked Hongmei with her fingers next to her ear: "Is the child asleep?" Miao Luo, who had been waiting for half a year, was so teasing, and after humming, he took the initiative to close the curtains, and then pressed the raging big hand to offer a fragrant little mouth.

The nightgown slipped to the ground, and the underwear was thrown everywhere, and when she finally stood naked under the lamp, her eyes were so white and greasy that it was maddening. Yang Qiu's gaze gradually fell on her left thigh, and although the wound was already healed, it still left a reddish scar. Thin as a pointer, attracting his gaze to the root of his thighs, the sparse jungle stream Juanjuan, strangely stimulating the nerves. Miao Luo had never been seen by him like this, and hurriedly turned his body sideways to cover the vital point, but after leaning down slightly, his chest became more and more huge, and the small white hills drooped downward, bearing two red plums the size of beans.

But before he could make a move, Miao Luo suddenly squatted down, gently holding the angry dragon with his two small hands, and his pretty face was almost dripping. Yang Qiu knew that she didn't like this, and she wanted to stop it, but this time, for some reason, she puffed out her small mouth and stroked it twice, and then slowly put it on.

The night suddenly became short, and even the sound of air hammers from the shipyard outside the window from time to time completely disappeared from my ears.

In addition to them, Liu Qingen and Wu Qingdu, who have been bent on building Hanyang and Chongqing into super enterprises like Krupp in recent years, also came to Qinzhou, He Maoqing of Mawei Factory, Xing Qixin of Jiangnan, and even Zhu Ziyao, the owner of Qiuxin, the second largest private shipyard in the country, rushed to Qinzhou.

Almost all the people related to the equipment manufacturing industry, shipbuilding, and military industry from all over the country arrived, so that Ye Zugui and Qiu Baoren, who stayed in Qinzhou to command the navy's blockade of the bay, realized something, and excitedly pulled Sa Zhenbing and asked: "Dingming, is this back?" ”

Old man Sa didn't know what the two old men were thinking. He is now proud, and the two Austro-Hungarian Combined Forces-class battleships cannot be compared with the four Japanese ones. But anyway, the Skoda L45/305mm is a stronger naval gun than the same model of Krupp! Looking at the data, don't even think about guarding against the armor of the King Kong level. If this naval artillery technology can be absorbed, coupled with the German armor-piercing shell technology that has been obtained, it will definitely greatly promote the level of naval naval artillery. What's more, it's not 500,000 pounds cheaper, and it's difficult to even buy a better cruiser.

The expeditionary force escort fleet has also returned for the most part, and the hula has filled several major military ports, so even the wrinkles on the old face are a lot less, but he deliberately put on a secretive tone: "I don't know, the vice president sent me a telegram." I'm here. Qiu Baoren saw that this old man was deliberately buying Guanzi, and said angrily: "If the telegram asks you to come, you can come, if the telegram asks you to marry your granddaughter." You go too? ”

"If the vice president is willing to marry, I don't have a problem." Sa Zhenbing nodded very naturally, and the angry two secretly despised it. The three old men of the Navy brag and fart. Even the army didn't dare to touch its edge, and a large number of people who had just gotten off the train avoided it one after another, and finally Zhang Wenjing broke and asked: "Chief Lu, where is the vice president?" ”

"Where's the shipyard?"

After Ye Zugui finished speaking, a group of people immediately got into a military vehicle and rushed to the shipyard. After arriving at the shipyard, I found that Yang Qiu was actually sitting on the deck of an ocean liner that was about to finish the slipway work with Song Ziqing and Zheng Tingxiang, and even Lu Rongting was there, listening to Miao Yuan and the two foreigners dancing and introducing something. When he saw Sa Zhenbing and the others, he immediately beckoned, and said with a smile: "Today, we are simple because of our ugliness, so we might as well have a small meeting here." ”

Sa Zhenbing is now full of thoughts on expanding the navy. I can't wait to make a battleship comparable to the Japanese Nagato overnight, for this reason, not to mention squatting on the deck or squatting in the pit, I am willing to do so, so without saying a word, I found an open space to sit down, and everyone nodded with him taking the lead, and in the end, just looking for a stool for so many people was busy Lei Meng and other guards.

"Let me introduce you." Yang Qiu pointed to the two foreigners beside him. "This is Rear Admiral Hakan, and he has promised to serve as a technical adviser to our Navy. This is the Russian warship designer Mr. Andrew Yakovich Bubnov, who is now the chief designer of the Qinzhou shipyard. ”

Hakan nodded to everyone. He agreed to serve as a technical adviser not only because of Yang Qiu's invitation, but also because he hoped to continue his naval dream in this country, especially after hearing that Yang Qiu had sent someone to Germany to discuss food aid, he decided to stay. Sa Zhenbing and other admirals had heard of this person before, and knew that if it weren't for him Bingwen and the others, they might not be able to come back safely. So I quickly accepted him as a technical consultant. But Bubnov, who was full of beard and had a cold look next to him, not only confused everyone, but also slightly dissatisfied with his arrogant attitude.

Sa Zhenbing and the others are lonely and unheard of does not mean that Hakan does not know. Bubnov was one of the three genius battleship designers of Tsarist Russia, and along with Kostyenko and Yukovich, he was known as the booster of St. Andrei's flag. The three have their own emphasis, Kostenko is young and innovative, Yukovic pays attention to balance, and Bubnov is good at firepower deployment, whether it is a Gangut-class battleship or an Izmail-class battlecruiser, the firepower design is from him, and he also proposed the "Tsar Nicholas I" class No. 3 plan with 12 356mm naval guns, but unfortunately it was abandoned due to problems such as the long construction period.

Yang Qiu didn't care about the attitude of these Russian technicians who were forced to come to China for various reasons, after all, Russia and the Republic of China were still in opposition at the moment. His practical intention of bringing you here today is very simple. It is to take advantage of the Washington Treaty to deploy the Navy's plans for the next few years. said: "The meaning of inviting everyone to come is very simple, although the European war is over, but my country's maritime frontier is not peaceful, and the navy needs to build a naval ship." I'm a layman, so I wanted to ask you what we can build now. ”

What can be made?

This problem is no longer just as simple as building warships, it is basically to find out the level of national manufacturing. Most of the people present are manufacturing experts, and after studying ship design in the United States, He Maoqing and Xing Qixin are already the leaders of Mawei and Jiangnan factories, although they are inexperienced but they are more proficient in technical business, so when they heard this question, they also began to secretly calculate the current manufacturing capacity in their hands.

Wu Qingdu was also a student in the United States in Gengzi Nian, and also participated in the design of the T2 tank. After Zheng Tingxiang became the Minister of Industry, Yang Qiu asked him to take over Chongqing, and after several years of hard work, Chongqing Industrial Group has truly become a behemoth that can compete with Hanyang, and is more ahead of the world level in aviation. Because of the annexation of the military business of the Jiangnan Factory, large-caliber artillery introduced a lot of Krupp technology through various transactions. In the end, Yang Qiu also took out a large number of drawings for them to study, and he was already ahead of the country, so he took the lead in saying: "At the beginning of last year, the L45/305mm naval gun we designed has been accepted, but there is still a slight gap in power compared with Europe, and the new 356mm and 406 naval guns are still being designed." ”

With his throwing bricks, everyone also talked about their own situation. The generators cooperated by Hanyang and GE have met the standards, but the large hydraulic motors are not up to standard. Jiangnan and Mawei already have the capacity to manufacture 30,000 tons of ships, and Qiuxin, Qingdao and Qinzhou have the capacity of 10,000 tons. What is lacking is the experience of just independently creating large warships. Chongqing's Krupp armor steel is an old model, and the new formula has been brought back this time, and it will take time to experiment. Optical and armor-piercing shells are not good, and Chengdu and Nanjing can already produce their own radio, and the supporting electrical can also be satisfied. Motivation is the first to break through. The help of high-pressure ventilation and smoke exhaust technology has greatly exceeded that of Europe and the United States, and the self-produced boilers produced by Jiangnan after introducing a full set of technologies from the United States have also reached the standard of the Hood level, and both Hanyang and Jiangnan have the ability to manufacture steam turbines. Because the problem of impulsive vibration is solved, the efficiency of steam utilization has exceeded the European level.

Zhengzhou's main products are all kinds of rapid-fire guns and anti-aircraft guns, and dozens of them are being experimented. As for torpedoes, hoists, seaplanes, etc., these subsystems have reached the standard of equipment.

Nearly two hours of description and explanation passed quickly, and through everyone's oral description, Yang Qiu also initially grasped the current national manufacturing capacity. More than half of the subsystems have reached the level of building battleships equipped with 305mm naval guns, and larger calibers need to absorb German technology before they can be expected to break through. He was very satisfied with this result, and it was very good to be able to come from the afterglow of the Westernization Movement in eight years.

But Sa Zhenbing and the others were very unhappy.

King Kong and Fuso are both 356mm, Nagato soared directly to 410mm, and what is the difference between building a 305mm battleship by himself and the combined force class? You can't continue to build the Anhai class, right? The faces of several people made Yang Qiu secretly amused, he had been poked in the backbone by the navy over the years. This time, the country's comprehensive manufacturing capacity was all in front of us, and the charge of not paying attention to the navy was finally "cleared".

Although he did not want to and could not develop a large navy to take the initiative to act as a target for others, the country's coastal defense never relaxed for a moment. The navy is a weapon of national defense and the only armed force to ensure the blue homeland! Although it does not have the ability to compete with the world's major powers in the short term, its strategic goals have always been clear. The short-term target is Japan! and ensuring the safety of the South Seas route. To do both. The navy needs to have a certain deterrent capability and a slightly smaller but more mobile fleet to ensure that it can blockade the enemy's lifeline at sea in wartime.

According to this plan, a cruiser that is mobile and flexible and can be deployed for a long time is extremely critical, plus the level of manufacturing capacity of the country is already known, so wait for Hakan and others to leave. He made his choice immediately.

The first is the heavy cruiser.

Although this type of warship has been criticized by countless people, the heavy patrol also has a certain comprehensive ability, and building it is also a good way to exercise the country's manufacturing capacity under the current conditions. Of course, the current technology has not yet reached the level before World War II, especially the power and other aspects are still very different, even if the structure, tonnage, naval guns, etc. are similar, the things created are two different things.

In the past few years, Yang Qiu has handed over dozens of ship drawings and materials to Jiangnan, and some experience has been drawn from such a long period of research, first of all, the European-style 4-seat duplex layout leads to a narrow hull, and the corresponding armor belt is longer, and the protection must be reduced if the weight does not increase. Moreover, at present, the secondary guns of ships of various countries are all cannon guns, and there are still very few deck well auxiliary guns, mainly because there are many problems in the hull structure, but with the help of the data machine, this is not difficult for Yang Qiu.

In the end, he set specific requirements according to He Maoqing's suggestion.

The long bow ship type, the bow of the Atlantic ship, adopts four axles and four oars, the standard displacement is required to reach 13,000 tons, the full load is 16,000 tons, and the Krupp M1917 self-tightening L55/210mm naval gun with all the information and two sample guns has been obtained, and the layout of 3 triple-mounted guns is adopted. 4 twin L50/120mm secondary guns, 6 twin 40mm rapid-fire anti-aircraft guns, and 8 twin 25mm machine guns. The power must be guaranteed to reach a maximum of 30 knots and have the ability to be upgraded in the future, and the cruising range must be at least 8,000 nautical miles/15 knots.

Although more than two thousand tons more than the standard for heavy patrols than the treaty (the treaty is British tons. The metric ton is actually a little more than 10,000), but Europe and the United States will not care too much about this level, and it is very easy to purchase accessories internationally. In addition, if Japan can keep 2 Nagato, it will not be difficult to propose to keep 4 super quasi-heavy cruisers, but the problem is that this one must be built at a faster pace, at least before the signing of the 1922 agreement, and ensure that all of them are launched.

After solving the heavy cruiser, it is a light cruiser that is known as an all-rounder at sea.

There are many options for this one, and in the end, Yang Qiu's request was to build 8 ships. The ship type is similar to that of the Heavy Cruiser. However, the speed requirement is not less than 32 knots, and the endurance is not less than 6000 nautical miles. According to this requirement, the standard displacement is set at 7,500 tons, and the full load is 9,000 tons. It is equipped with 4 twin L50/155mm naval guns, 8 single-mounted L60/85mm Gaoping dual-purpose naval guns, and 6 twin 40mm and 6 twin 25mm rapid-fire anti-aircraft guns. 2 4-pack 610-mm heavy torpedo launchers.

In addition to light and heavy cruisers, Yang Qiu once again decided to build an aircraft carrier each from Jiangnan and Mawei. Since there is no similar reference in the world, the domestic aircraft carrier has never been designed (the previous 2 were modified cargo), and the structure and requirements of the aircraft carrier are different from other warships, so in order to reduce the difficulty, this time it is simply a complete copy of the design of the Yorktown-class. Originally, he chose the Japanese Yunlong class, but the subsystem, especially the ventilation pressure equipment, could not meet the requirements and had to be temporarily abandoned, and the slightly different was the requirement to strengthen the air defense and underwater structure, in addition to continuing to install 8 L50/120mm single-mount high-level dual-purpose naval guns, it was also required to install at least 48 40 and 25mm rapid-fire anti-aircraft guns, and the carrier aircraft was also reduced accordingly. However, because the plane has not yet come out, Yang Qiu can only estimate that it will be reduced to about 60-70 aircraft.

The heavy cruiser navy can accept it, because this Krupp 210mm naval gun data Ye Zugui and others have seen it when they were in France, and the actual armor-piercing ability has reached the level of L50/250mm naval guns. The biggest trouble is 55 times the body tube! You must know that the longer the barrel of the cannon, the more difficult it is to build, the price of the L55 is almost twice as expensive as the L45, and the scrap rate is doubled even in Germany, so this will seriously test the level of artillery manufacturing in Chongqing, Hanyang and the newly built Nanjing Naval Factory.

The light cruiser is something that the Navy has long hoped for, and as an indispensable type of ship for reconnaissance and patrol escort, the Navy has always been very envious of the British Lin Xian class. This time, I was finally able to arrange the construction, and I was very satisfied. On the contrary, I can't figure out Yang Qiu's "inexplicable" waste of money and time-consuming to continue to build aircraft carriers, even if those winged wooden bumps can be loaded with torpedoes, there is no need to keep four warships for reconnaissance purposes, this money is better than building 2 more light cruisers.

Yang Qiu was noncommittal about the nagging of the navy, and with the current eyes of the navies of various countries, they could not see the future of aircraft carriers. What's more, the horsepower of the aero engines in Chongqing and Hanyang has rapidly approached the 500 mark, and the star-type air-cooled engine has also begun to be manufactured. If you don't prepare the aircraft carrier now, will you wait for the aircraft to come out and rebuild it?

Although the navy didn't want an aircraft carrier, Yang Qiu's eyes swept away the smiling Zhang Wenjing at the end, and these guys all shut up.

After solving these problems, the rest is simple, supporting destroyers, submarines and torpedo boats, everyone does not bother to think too much, first, it is unrealistic to pursue how advanced these small warships should be at present, because the technology is not up to standard. Second, the American Paulding-class destroyers, which were half-sold and half-delivered, were all launched before the war, and several shipyards also designed a variety of destroyers, so they simply left it to the Navy to arrange the number and scale of production.

After three days of discussion and research, we finally came up with the 1920 Navy Plan of the Republic of China, according to which the Navy will build a total of 2 aircraft carriers, 4 heavy cruisers, 8 light cruisers, 24 destroyers, 8 submarines, 78 torpedo boats/speedboats, 2 icebreakers, 4 10,000-ton comprehensive supply ships, 2 3,000-ton mine-laying / communication fast cruisers, 3 20,000-ton floating docks, and a total of 366 aircraft of various types.

Arrangements were also made for the start of construction, the earliest being heavy cruisers. According to the schedule, it will be built at the latest by mid-20, and it must be fully launched into outfitting by March 22. The light cruiser will be built half a year later, and the aircraft carrier will not be on the slipway until the end of 21 at the earliest, and the rest of the ships will be arranged by the Navy itself. The reason for this choice was that the re-tour should be launched before the signing of the Washington Treaty, so that it could be preserved on the grounds that the completion rate was high and it could not be abandoned. Second, aircraft carriers are not urgently needed at the moment, and it will take some time for aircraft to break through. Third, building in batches can reduce the pressure on the slipway and allow the navy enough time to train sailors.

In the end, everyone calculated that the total procurement and construction cost would require 200 million yuan!

Zhang Wenjing is indeed a little painful, because he now knows that the procurement cost of the navy and the total cost of forming an army are two different things, and the latter must at least double the procurement cost! Not to mention anything else, just sending non-commissioned officers and students to study in Europe and the United States costs a lot of money every year. Fortunately, this money is not taken out all at once, and the thriving finances can also afford it. Of course, he still urged the navy to continue to reduce old ships, and proposed currency reform to Yang Qiu for the first time.

Sa Zhenbing didn't care about any currency reform, and immediately patted his chest and promised to reduce 2 cruisers when he went back to save military spending.

Finally, it is to divide the order, the shipyards and companies are all eager to see through, for them to take over the naval order is not only a matter of making money, but also a great opportunity to improve their own technology, after all, military and civilian are completely different fields, naval shipbuilding is comprehensive, involving hundreds of products and technologies, so the country and the military will have a special technical team to support and supervise, and this work is responsible for which face is not easy to speak at a glance.

According to the comprehensive capacity of each shipyard, the strongest Jiangnan received 11 large orders including 1 aircraft carrier, 2 heavy cruisers, 2 light cruisers, and 2 icebreakers, and Mawei got 1 heavy cruiser, 3 light cruisers, 2 supply ships and 2 minelaying fast cruisers. What is surprising is that the last 1 heavy patrol actually settled in the new shipyard, and also took a light cruiser, which made Zhu Ziyao half dead with excitement, and repeatedly promised that it would be completed on time and ensure the quality. In fact, everyone thinks about it and understands, the new factory is now the largest private factory in the country in addition to Jiangnan, and the year before last it also merged the British Yangtze River shipyard with good technology, it is undoubtedly a good choice to set up such an enterprise as a national private model, and it can also promote private capital investment in heavy industry. In addition, the search for innovation is on the edge of the south of the Yangtze River, and it is very convenient for technical support and other things. Qinzhou and Qingdao also received orders for one light cruiser, one 10,000-ton supply ship and a large number of destroyers, and even the three new shipyards in Guangzhou, Dalian and Tianjin also gave orders for destroyers and torpedo boats to ensure that they did not lag too far behind in technology.

In the end, Yang Qiu put on a straight face and ordered strictly! All types of subsystems are allowed to be purchased from abroad unless they cannot be manufactured in China, or the quality does not meet the standards before the end of the construction period, otherwise even if they are worse, they must use domestic models! And it's important to make sure that all types of ships and equipment have as many accessories as possible so that they can be upgraded in the future, even if the construction speed slows down! The Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of National Defense are also required to come up with national standards for equipment manufacturing and military manufacturing within three years. These two points were finally endorsed by all the industrial giants, including Zheng Tingxiang, and the military also wanted to simplify logistics, so it was even more active. In the end, this proposal kicked off the prelude to the standardization of China's equipment manufacturing industry, so that a large number of state-owned industrial standards were quickly determined in the next five years.

This insistence was eventually considered to have played a great role in the promotion and reform of the country's manufacturing industry, taking the 85mm high-level dual-purpose guns that the navy, army and air forces later equipped with a large number of them as an example, a total of several generations of dozens of varieties were developed, but all models could ensure that at least 50% of the accessories were completely common. And because the volume, structure, etc. are in accordance with the standard size, it can be directly installed on various platforms without much modification.

The explosion of the Navy kicked off the post-war defense reform, which was not only a financial permit, but also a reflection of the imminent return of Britain and France to the Far East after the end of the European war. Although it is still not possible to build battleships, everyone knows that after this batch of construction, the country's manufacturing capacity will definitely reach a new level, and at that time it may be possible to consider building more powerful warships.

After completing the naval plan, Yang Qiu inspected the southwest railway network again before returning to Nanjing, but he only stayed for half a month, reported to Li Yuanhong and others on the Paris Peace Conference, and then continued to embark on the journey to the northwest.

There's still a lot of fighting...... (Your support on this site is my biggest motivation.) )
