readx; The construction of the battleship Shundi was started in January 1924, but it only took a few months to design in a hurry, and if it was completed in November 1926, the construction time would only be two years and ten months, which was very fast for the construction of such a 35,000-ton battleship in peacetime. Although www.biquge.info speed of shipbuilding is not comparable to that of the naval competition of various countries in those years, it was an arms race at that time, and all countries were rushing to catch up with the schedule, and the shipyards were working overtime to carry out construction, but now China has built these two battleships in less than three years under normal construction in a peaceful state, which is already a great achievement.

"The construction was also faster than the Navy had imagined, and it was thought that it would not be completed until the end of 1927 or even 1928. However, the new steam turbine of Shanghai Power Company solved the problem at the end of last year and came up with qualified products, so without these subsystems, the construction time has been accelerated a lot. "At the beginning, the domestic industrial sector strongly demanded that the two new battleships should adopt domestic power systems, and even some of the 16-inch main guns should be manufactured in China.

At that time, although the navy was unwilling, but in the face of the pressure of the domestic industry, it was also forced to agree to choose the domestic power system, but also asked the Shanghai Power Company to come up with qualified new steam turbines within a limited time, otherwise the navy would not be blamed for imports. Fortunately, Shanghai Power Company and many related subsystem enterprises are also competitive enough, and after spending a year of emergency research, they finally came up with a steam turbine that is not inferior to foreign products. As for naval guns, the Navy wants domestic enterprises to make their own, but the United States insists on refusing to transfer the technology of 16-inch naval guns and is only willing to provide finished products. And the Shanghai Arsenal is good to build a 14-inch naval gun, but they are really powerless to do a 16-inch naval gun, even if they buy a large amount of industrial equipment now and carry out imitation research and development, it is estimated that it will be five or six years later, so the main gun can only be imported.

However, the Shanghai Arsenal did not give up the research and development of the 16-inch naval gun, but continued to purchase additional equipment, and the reason was very simple. The barrel of the main gun has a life limit, and the 16-inch and 50-fold main gun on the Yandi class only has a life of 250 rounds, and the life of the barrel has long been reduced to only half of the life of a Chinese war and the live-fire training over the years, and according to the Navy's combat readiness regulations, the life of the barrel needs to be replaced if it is less than half of it, and this barrel cannot be made in China at present, so it can only be imported from the United States. Considering that there are still two battleships that will be commissioned in a few years, even if they do not continue to build battleships in the future, the navy still needs a large number of sixteen-inch main gun barrels to be replaced.

It is not always a matter of being subject to the United States for a long time, so the Navy strongly supports the Shanghai Arsenal to continue to engage in the research and development of 16-inch naval guns.

After coming down from Qingdao Mountain Fort, Chen Jingyun followed a group of people to the Huiquanjiao Fort and watched the shooting of the two fourteen-inch and forty-five-fold barreled cannons on the Huiquanjiao Fort.

The huge sound of this huge cannon of more than 14 inches when fired is not at all comparable to those medium-caliber guns of more than 100 millimeters.

After inspecting the outside, Chen Jingyun attended a welcome banquet at the Qingdao Navy Headquarters, which was the former residence of the German Governor-General in Qingdao.

Seeing these admirals wearing neat white officer uniforms, most of the generals wore silver double sword medals on their chests, and some also wore gold double sword medals and East China Sea naval battle medals. These admirals are holding crystal cups in their hands, and the glass is bright wine, and with good wine, there is naturally no shortage of beautiful women, and in addition to this large number of generals in the banquet hall, there are still a large group of noble ladies, most of whom are the wives or daughters of these generals.

Chen Jingyun was talking in a low voice with Cheng Biguang on the side, and on the other side, Lin Yun was also surrounded by several women, and after a while, Lin Yun just walked over, and then smiled at Chen Jingyun and Cheng Biguang and others: "Why are you still talking about those wars on this occasion today, come, let me introduce you to a few people!" ”

Chen Jingyun and Cheng Biguang glanced at each other, Chen Jingyun also smiled slightly, although today's occasion is not an occasion to talk about official affairs, but he is with these subordinates, how can those people really talk and laugh with Chen Jingyun, and to be honest, the only ones who can make Chen Jingyun talk are those official affairs, just now Chen Jingyun was discussing with Cheng Biguang the positioning of aircraft carriers in the navy in the future. Cheng Biguang advocated that the aircraft carrier and the main fleet should be grouped together, and that the air power of the aircraft carrier should provide reconnaissance, aerial firing, and air defense operations for the battleships. However, when Chen Jingyun learned that the B6 dive bombers had almost been put into large-scale service, he naturally wanted to let these people in the navy know that in future naval operations, aircraft carriers will be the main force, and battleships will only be used to cooperate with aircraft carriers. Although these are all modes of joint operations, the priorities of the two must not be confused.

Now that Lin Yun is here, it is naturally not good for the two of them to continue to talk, Chen Jingyun said: "The matter of the aircraft carrier and the battleship cooperating in combat, the navy will hand over a note later, well, not only for those of you who support the battleship, but also for the opinions of the aviation force!" ”

Cheng Biguang faced Chen Jingyun's words, and naturally he could only nod his head.

At this time, Chen Jingyun turned around and said with a smile: "Oh, what about the person that Madame is going to introduce?" ”

Lin Yun said: "Over there!" ”

As Lin Yun's gaze passed, two or three people also walked over, an old man of about fifty years old, a young man in his twenties, and a young woman in a light blue dress stood next to the young man.

Chen Jingyun thinks that his memory is good, generally speaking, even if he can't remember the name of his subordinates who have spoken, he will have some impressions, but the three people in front of him don't know any of them, and they don't look like ordinary officials or businessmen, ordinary people are not qualified to come to the banquet hall of the Qingdao Navy Commander's Headquarters tonight.

Even if he didn't know him, but since Lin Yun said that he wanted to introduce him, he should be regarded as a relatively important person, Chen Jingyun naturally didn't put on a face, and immediately let his expression soften a little and then looked at these people with a smile. He was not interested in who this old man was, the young man looked a little restrained, it was estimated that he was the junior of the person present, Chen Jingyun didn't bother to look at him, but the young woman beside him made Chen Jingyun look at him twice.

Looking at her more is not because she looks like a sinking fish and a goose or a stunning beauty of the country and the city, but this woman herself seems to have seen it there, and she always feels a little familiar, but for a while, I can't remember when I saw it.

At this time, these three people also stepped forward, and Lin Yun spoke: "This is my fourth uncle, who is now a mayor in Weihai City!" ”

After hearing this, Chen Jingyun knew that this old man turned out to be from Lin Yun's mother's family, that is, the Yanjing Lin family. It's just that Lin Yun is Mrs. Lin's side has rarely had anything to do with the Lin family in Yanjing over the years, these two women are also quite small-minded, the Lin family in Yanjing was such a big family back then, but after Lin Yun's father passed away, she didn't have a good face for the three of them, otherwise Mrs. Lin would not have taken a pair of children south to Fuzhou to join her sister Mrs. Sun. Later, Lin Yun married Chen Jingyun, and after Chen Jingyun became the leading warlord in China, the clansmen of the Lin family in Yanjing voted over, but at that time, Lin Yun only arranged for Lin Yongfei, who had been friends since childhood, to enter the guard division, and most of the other Lin family members did not give them any good looks. Therefore, among the relatives on Lin Yun's side, the Lin family is not powerful, but several people from Mrs. Lin's mother's family have climbed to a high position.

On this occasion today, Lin Yun's fourth uncle appeared, and Chen Jingyun didn't know what Lin Yun thought for a while, whether to send them casually, or to specially invite them to see him, if it was the former, it would be simple, just say a few words and send it away, but if it is the latter, Chen Jingyun also has to take into account Lin Yun's wife's thoughts, if Lin Yun wants to pull them, Chen Jingyun will also follow Lin Yun's ideas, anyway, for him, it is just a matter of one sentence.

However, even his words can determine the fate of countless people.

That Lin Yun's fourth uncle stepped forward and said respectfully: "Lin Yaoguang, the mayor of Weihai City, has seen the chairman!" ”

This posture is a bit low, obviously he doesn't regard himself as Lin Yun's fourth uncle, and he doesn't use any relative posture, but a simple subordinate posture.

Chen Jingyun nodded when he saw it, and said with a smile: "But it's too much to see, since you are Lin Yun's fourth uncle, you are naturally my fourth uncle!" It's all a family, no need to see outsiders! ”

He was polite, but Chen Jingyun didn't even take a step, so he raised his hand to show that he didn't need to be polite. To be honest, this is already enough to save face, and when other mayor-level people saw Chen Jingyun, Chen Jingyun would at most give a smile with a professional surname, and then nod his head with a 'hmm' and it was over.

The only person who can make him laugh is Chen Yu in Liuhe Lane, Fuzhou.

Lin Yaoguang didn't care, and it was already great luck to be able to let Lin Yun personally introduce him to Chen Jingyun today. Although it is impossible to say how much his career will climb higher just by meeting him like this, these things are not important, the important thing is that Lin Yun was able to introduce him to Chen Jingyun today, which shows that Lin Yun has almost finished getting angry over the years, and it is estimated that he has let go of his prejudices against his mother's Lin family.

And this is what he attaches the most importance to, otherwise how could he come in a hurry from Weihai City, not just to see Chen Jingyun, but to resolve those grievances with Lin Yun back then, so that Lin Yun can treat the Lin family as her mother again.

After Lin Yaoguang introduced himself, the young man next to him also walked up, his expression was obviously a little nervous, Lin Yaoguang took the initiative to say: "This is my unsuccessful dog, I just came back from studying in the United States this year and haven't seen much of the world, please don't mind!" ”

This young man said with some restraint: "Hanfang has seen the chairman!" ”

Looking at Lin Hanfang's somewhat restrained expression, Chen Jingyun didn't care, the young man who was going to school or had just graduated this year saw that he was calm enough if he didn't shout long live the chairman, and when he heard that he had returned from studying in the United States, he immediately asked: "Oh, the school you went to?" What to learn? ”

Chen Jingyun asked casually, and Lin Hanfang replied respectfully: "Hanfang studied at Princeton University and studied geology!" After saying that, he glanced at his father Lin Yaoguang next to him, and then took a deep breath and said: "When I first learned this, I decided to find a bigger oil field for China and contribute to the rejuvenation of China!" ”

Chen Jingyun listened softly: "Oh, good, it's a good thing that you young people have learned to return to China and work hard for the rejuvenation of China!" Although I knew in my heart that Lin Hanfang's words were mostly performances, it was not good to dampen the confidence of young people, so I encouraged two sentences: "Work hard in the future, if you find a big oil field, it will make a great contribution to the rejuvenation of China!" ”

After saying these two sentences, Lin Yun next to him also pulled up the girl next to her: "This is my fourth uncle's daughter, called Lin Lin!" ”

When Lin Yun didn't say it before, Chen Jingyun had almost guessed the identity of this girl, and Lin Yaoguang walked together, and was able to pull Lin Yun over to introduce her, this person is not Lin Hanfang's wife, but should be Lin Hanfang's sister. And when he heard this, and then looked at Lin Yun's cousin's face carefully, Chen Jingyun still felt that this woman seemed to have seen it there, but he really couldn't remember it for a while.

This Lin Lin's appearance is not bad, although it will not be overwhelming, but she will also receive the gaze of many men, but those men are not as bold as Chen Jingyun and dare to stare at her so directly. As soon as she raised her gaze, she met Chen Jingyun's gaze.

When looking at her eyes, Chen Jingyun's name flashed in his mind, and after his face changed several times, Chen Jingyun withdrew his gaze, and then turned around without saying a word and talked about the navy with Cheng Biguang again.

Chen Jingyun's move was not disguised in the slightest, which made Lin Yun and Lin Yaoguang next to him not know why Chen Jingyun was like this, but when they looked at Lin Lin next to her, they were even more puzzled when they saw that she was also indifferent.
