readx; On April 8, 1949, on the wharf of Jiangnan Shipyard in Shanghai, Chen Huatian, who was wearing a military uniform but did not wear any military rank mark, only hung a five-color star medal and a gold double sword medal on his chest, accompanied by a group of senior naval generals such as Marshal Lu Jian, boarded the Huangshan, the fifth ship of the Huashan-class super aircraft carrier. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ.

Huashan-class aircraft carrier, is the product of the 11th naval development plan of the Chinese Navy during World War II, its design positioning is to seek a higher comprehensive combat effectiveness than the Jiulianshan class, the surname price ratio is higher, the first ship Huashan started construction in 1943, launched in 1946 outfitting, and officially entered the navy service in the same year. The No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4 ships were commissioned from 1947 to 1938.

Today, the No. 5 ship Huangshan has also been officially completed and put into service, and this time it is the second time that Chen Huatian has participated in the commissioning ceremony of the Huashan-class aircraft carrier.

Looking at this huge warship, Chen Huatian still inevitably had a kind of heroism, this is a big guy with a full load tonnage of more than 80,000 tons, larger than the Jiulianshan-class aircraft carrier in service in the late World War II, this super aircraft carrier almost represents China's powerful industrial and military power, and no one on this earth can match it except the United States.

Speaking of the United States, people are even more perverted, in the late stage of World War II, the construction of a full six Midway-class aircraft carriers, near the end of the war, the construction of four American-class aircraft carriers, after the war, four orders for American aircraft carriers in a row, if it were not for the fact that China has not placed orders for new super aircraft carriers in the past few years, it did not stimulate the United States, otherwise in order to pursue strategic balance, the Americans dared to build more than a dozen super aircraft carriers in one go, such financial resources and industrial base, It is still incomparable to China, which has gone through decades of development, and the gap between the world's second and the world's largest is still there, and it is not small.

In just a few years after the war, the Americans caught up with China's pace in the super aircraft carrier, but their carrier-based jet aircraft made relatively slow progress, and it was not until 1947 that large-scale jet fighters began to be on board, but until today they have not been able to completely solve the problem of high accident rate of jet carrier-based aircraft, but people are not stupid, after tossing the hydraulic catapult for several years, they finally made up their minds to play the steam catapult, and it took less than two years to get the steam catapult out. In 1948, the experimental ship loading test began, and this year it has been concentrated on all aircraft carriers, and it is expected that by next year the problem of the difficulty of the Americans' jet carrier-based aircraft taking off will be completely solved.

The strength of the United States to explode aircraft carriers is real, China can not start construction of more than a dozen super aircraft carriers at the same time with the United States, can only be said to be built one after another, as uninterrupted as possible to maintain the inheritance and upgrading of technology, for example, in 1948, the Navy approved the plan to build an aircraft carrier, because it has not yet started construction and naming, at present there is only a number, that is, CV39. The CV39 is ready to use a large number of mature technologies of the Huashan class, and the displacement will not change much, the main change is the change in the details of the technology, to some extent, this CV39 is actually a plan approved to prevent the workers of the Jiangnan shipyard who can build aircraft carriers from losing their jobs, which is not very important for military needs.

Because in fact, in 1949, there was actually a serious surplus of aircraft carriers in China and the United States, and there were dozens of aircraft carriers used there in peacetime, so a large number of aircraft carriers stayed at the docks, although they were still nominally in active naval service, but in fact, most of the Chinese Aoyama-class and the Americans' Essex-class were already staying at the docks and doing nothing, and they were almost the same as mothballing.

But how to say it, the super aircraft carrier is used to show off or bully children, and you can't really use it to start a war with the United States!

Since it is a conspicuous thing, this naturally looks extremely powerful, and it is not an exaggeration to shock Chen Huatian, after the service ceremony, Chen Huatian was accompanied by a high-ranking naval officer to inspect a detachment of the First Fleet stationed in Shanghai.

After these public activities were over, Chen Huatian did not stay idle, and the next night, Lu Jian came over, and then the two of them talked about it.

Who is this Lu Jian, is recognized as the core role of Chen Huatian's faction, it can be said that it was because of Chen Huatian that he was promoted by Chen Jingyun to become a marshal, and entered the State Military Commission as a standing member, and in 1948, after Marshal Guan Shijie announced his official retirement from active military service in the navy, he became the only active marshal in the navy.

After the war, in 1946, in order to commend the senior generals of the navy, army and air forces, Chen Jingyun promoted six marshals, including three in the army, including Du Yanpeng, commander of the Ninth Group Army, Guo Chengdong, commander of the Tenth Group Army, and Zhao Zhike, former chief of staff. On the naval side, Jin Hongye, former director of the Naval Operations Department, Wen Tinghe, who served as commander of the First Fleet, commander of the Second Fleet, and chief of the Navy Department, and Li Tunyang, former director of the Air Force Operations Department, are on the Air Force side.

At the same time, a group of generals and lieutenant generals were promoted.

However, although many marshals and generals were promoted, with the post-war disarmament, under the leadership of Shen Gang, Chen Yi and other bigwigs, a large number of elderly generals took the initiative to retire from active service, and at the same time, under the pretext of disarmament, Chen Jingyun turned a group of generals into reserves.

By 1949, there was only Lu Jian left as the active marshal of the Chinese Navy, and the other Guan Shijie and Wen Tinghe had all been transferred to the reserve, and the admirals were also retired in large numbers.

The Navy is like this, the Army is even more so, at the end of World War II, Chen Jingyun was extremely dissatisfied with the lifeless Army, and even before the war ended, Chen Jingyun had begun to carry out large-scale replacement of army generals, of course, first of all, Shen Gang, Chen Yi, Zuo Yugang, these bigwigs were still at that time, and continued to sit in the Army, and by 1947, the so-called army bigwigs were basically invisible at the level of generals, and the second-generation generals in the army in the past two years were in high positions in the army. The backbone generals at the level of lieutenant generals are the third-generation generals represented by Li Yuting and Xie Chanan. After completing the major change of high-level generals in the army, Shen Gang and Chen Yi, Zuo Yugang and Li Lianyang and other army bigwigs also retired and were transferred to the reserve one after another, among which Li Lianyang died of a heart attack last year.

In today's army, headed by Du Yanpeng and Song Junpeng, they are all marshals and hold the position of standing committee member of the State Military Commission, they are contemporary army bosses, but their prestige cannot be compared with the previous Shen Gang and Chen Yi, the former Shen Gang and Chen Yi were the commanders of the navy, land and air force, and the navy Guan Shijie and Wu Shizhong, who were also marshals, had to be juniors or even subordinates, and now Du Yanpeng and Song Junpeng are much weaker, Lu Jian gives Shen Gang face, but he will not give Du Yanpeng them face. To a certain extent, the real readiness of China's navy and air force to achieve the same status as the army was only achieved after Shen Gang and Chen Yi retired from active service in 1947.

Chen Jingyun's series of major changes in the military top leadership in the late and post-war periods also had a characteristic, that is, among the new generation of generals in the upper ranks, either supporters of Chen Huatian or centrists, and the generals of the navy, army, and air forces who opposed Chen Huatian or still shouted for support for Chen Huajun in the past few years were eliminated from the army.

Chen Jingyun's move is very obvious, just to pave the way for Chen Huatian's future position.

And this paving trace is becoming more and more obvious with the passage of time!

"Has the chairman's side already made a statement? Not going to participate in next year's election? Lu Jian said: "If the chairman's side has been decided, then we also have to prepare in advance!" ”

In the face of Lu Jian's words, although he was only thirty-six years old, in order to give people a mature and stable image, he deliberately behaved very old in dress, words and deeds, Chen Huatian, who looked like he was in his forties, did not speak for the first time, but was silent for a while and said: "I'm afraid this matter is not the same as Lu Shuai thought!" ”

"Oh?" After hearing this, Lu Jian was puzzled: "Could it be that the chairman wants to do things for three terms?" The matter of the third term in Lu Jian's mouth is that in the third presidential election in 1925, Chen Jingyun did not participate in the presidential election in order to avoid suspicion, but he still controlled the military and political power and actually controlled the power, and the president Zheng Zuyin at that time was just a puppet.

Chen Huatian shook his head: "It's not a secret, my father's side should be officially announced in two days!" ”

Hearing Chen Huatian say this, Lu Jian pricked up his ears, this can be said whether Chen Jingyun abdicates or not and the question of the heir, if it is said that China's industry and commerce after the war is in a prosperous and upward scene as a whole, but politically many people are worried, especially in the past few years, Chen Jingyun's high-level military change has caused all kinds of speculation, and as 1950 is getting closer and closer, whether Chen Jingyun will continue to govern in violation of the constitution or give way to Chen Huatian, or give way to others, This is something that many people are concerned about and worried about.

Among these possible surnames, few people really support Chen Jingyun to continue to be president, this has been re-elected for four consecutive terms for 20 years, although Roosevelt also said that he was re-elected for four terms, but Roosevelt's term of office was only four years, and Roosevelt's fourth term died at the beginning, and Roosevelt's term of office was only 13 years, but Chen Jingyun, except for the absence of a third term in the middle, the rest of the time was in the president, and this is not counting the years before the founding of the People's Republic of China. And with the end of the war, and I think that China has risen to be on a par with the United States, so now the world also thinks that the current China is no longer the China that cannot do without Chen Jingyun.

Therefore, many people still hope that Chen Jingyun can take the initiative to retreat, of course, they hope that Chen Jingyun will retire, but they do not want Chen Jingyun to directly hand over the position to Chen Huatian, which is unacceptable to a large number of Chinese.

Chen Huatian faced this Lu Jian, and did not overly conceal it, this Lu Jian's glory and wealth are directly linked to him Chen Huatian, the relationship between Lu Jian and Chen Huatian, not to mention the high-level military and political knows, even the ordinary people know that Lu Jian is Chen Huatian's core supporter, once he is branded Chen Huatian, it will definitely not be able to be trusted, just like those who supported Chen Huajun back then, after Chen Huajun was officially given up by Chen Jingyun, those who were branded by Chen Huajun, In particular, the military's high-ranking generals were almost kicked out of the army one after another, and by today's day in 1949, there is no high-ranking general of the so-called Chen Huajun faction in the military.

If he Chen Huatian fails in the future competition, he Lu Jian will also be finished.

"Before I came to Shanghai, I talked to my father once, and he meant that he would not run for president next year, and he also said that I would take a break and not run for president!" When Chen Huatian said this, he also sighed in his heart, he thought a few years ago that he would take over his father's presidency in 1950, but he didn't expect Chen Jingyun to not let him run for the presidency.

"How so?" Lu Jian was also a little surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Then what is the chairman's plan?" ”

Chen Huatian said: "At this point, we have to wait a little longer to see what my father says!" ”

Chen Huatian and Lu Jian were a little incomprehensible in the face of Chen Jingyun's arrangement, but Chen Jingyun had Chen Jingyun's own considerations, he had already determined during World War II that he would not continue to hold the presidency after 1950, and was ready to hand over the position of president to you Chen Huatian, and at the same time he continued to sit in the two positions of party chairman and chairman of the State Military Commission to escort Chen Huatian, and after Chen Huatian grew up, he would slowly hand over military power and party power to him to realize the three-step power transfer plan.

But he didn't expect that the domestic opposition to his succession to Chen Huatian was so loud, and Chen Jingyun couldn't keep cleaning up like this, and it wasn't true that he would split a good country, so he chose a backup plan to postpone Chen Huatian's ascension to power, and at the same time he did not give up military power and party power, first supported a puppet president to spend the five-year buffer period, and then let Chen Huatian participate in the presidential election openly, with his own prestige, even if Chen Huatian ran openly, At least more than fifty percent of them are sure of success, and the remaining fifty percent of them have to rely on Chen Jingyun to use various means.

Based on this consideration, he has carried out a major purge of the military in the past few years, on the one hand, to renew the military, and on the other hand, to select people and neutral people who support Chen Huatian, so as to avoid any unexpected changes during the five-year transition period.

With these preparations in place, Chen Jingyun began a formal plan for the transfer of power, and three days later, Chen Jingyun made his first nationally televised speech in Chinese history.
