"Ahh You are like a green cloud floating on the vast sea, soaring into the sky, and the battle horn has sounded in front of the broken ......" Meng Xiang and Chen Shaokuan stood there, and they could already hear the accompanying poets chanting poems to the Izumo.

This time I went to sea, at most, I returned from a hundred miles away, and it was more like completing a ceremony. Nearly 1,000 people from all walks of life were on board, and many celebrities from the cultural world were among them, and in this era, it was not lyrics that were popular, but poetry.

In this era, they used vernacular poetry to interpret everything that could be incorporated into poetry, creating a unique young generation in this era. The pioneers of these vernacular poetry did not know that the decline of poetry in later generations had fallen to the chanting of only children in kindergarten who were still rhyming. Everything else has become the object of ridicule.

"This ship is really good!" Chen Shaokuan answered, "I just need the right captain to take the helm!" ”

Meng Xiang looked into the distance and said with a smile: "The captain is from Huaxia, as long as he can fight devils!" ”

One sentence choked Chen Shaokuan's words back. Whatever the reason, the Central Navy has not achieved much so far. Unlike the CSKA, although it retreated all the way, it was blocking step by step and destroying more than 100,000 enemies. It is also not like the Central Air Force, although it is weak, but it has been fighting. In the face of the devil's plane, he was not afraid and did not flinch.

And the navy is more left in people's memories only to sink without a fight, and after that, many of them can only hold rifles and are sent to various places to carry out combat missions on land.

"We need a chance to prove ourselves!" Chen Shaokuan sighed in a low voice.

Meng Xiang smiled and said nothing, what he said we may not be the honor of the entire navy, some of the news he heard, even if there are only a few ships left now, the factional struggle is still fierce. This disgusted him, factional fighting is normal, but it depends on when. Many people only care about the interests of their own faction, and even use the form of arsonance to attack their opponents. Although the vanguard army is sometimes a little suspicious, it has been making continuous achievements, and it is fighting in a down-to-earth manner, not just dragging its feet.

"This ship is really good, we also have a 10,000-ton warship in Huaxia!" Guo Moruo sighed.

"The rarest thing is that this is captured by the Vanguard Army." Tao Xingzhiduo said with a smile.

"Even you call the vanguard army so directly, I'm afraid it's a bit inappropriate! Do they really want to read it? Turned into a new warlord. Guo Moruo's face was full of regret.

"Warlord? Have you ever seen such a warlord? Their civilian education has been carried out in every village and every factory, their six-year compulsory education has fallen on every child, and compulsory education is being implemented in the next ten years, and even support Chen Heqin and others to open a kindergarten in every village. Every township already has a primary school, and every county already has a junior high school, but no matter what level of school the textbook is, there is no mention of the words calling for the support of that Meng Dashuai, and the whole text is patriotic and loves the nation, and there are not many words that even support the vanguard army. The inscriptions and statues of gods that the people spontaneously erected for him were also demolished after he sent people to compensate the people, and the words that the living should not set up shrines were handed down, and even his photos were strictly forbidden to be hung in public places. It is strictly forbidden to worship the personality cult, and to advocate having one's own reading power and thoughts, and not to worship others and be a slave to other people's thoughts. If he is a warlord, what is he trying to do? Yu Chun and I came to Shandong because we took a fancy to his move, and we didn't have the idea of a private world. Tao Xingzhi finished speaking in one breath, his face flushed slightly with excitement in the sea breeze.

Guo Moruo knew that Tao Xingzhi and Yan Yangchu had already begun to implement their educational concepts in the Special Economic Zone at this time. Not only them, but many educators from all over the country have also flocked to them. However, all the educators were exhausted by the Pioneer Army's compulsory education and training, and even free literacy classes were held in rural areas, and various prizes were awarded according to their achievements, so that many peasants signed up one after another.

Material rewards are always the best catalyst. The magnanimity of the vanguard army with sufficient financial support is unmatched by others. The people of the SAR know that it is cost-effective to go to school and find a pioneer army, and those educators are promoting it in the SAR, although the SAR Committee also actively encourages and supports it, but there is no money, and this is empty talk.

However, in order to worry about the standardized education formed by the simplification of ideas, Meng Xiang specially demarcated many compulsory education schools for these educators, and they taught them according to their own methods.

For fear of confusion, Meng Xiang had instructed He Siyuan to put forward the words of prohibiting personality cults and favoring a certain organization in various types of education. This has won the unanimous approval of the literati who advocate freedom.

"The vanguard army has such a strong army, it will always be a hidden worry about the political situation in China in the future!" After Guo Moruo returned to China from Yuben last year, he served as the director of the Third Department of the Political Department of the Central Military Commission. Meng Xiang also talked to him just now, but it was just a polite remark, for this genius in the cultural world, it is not too much to say that he is the cultural standard-bearer after Lu Xun, but in other aspects, whether it is his feelings or in the political and academic circles, it is really difficult to compare with the literati iron bones established by Lu Xun.

"Civil war?" Tao Xingzhi was a little silent, the rise of the vanguard army made countless people think about this problem. There is only one central political axe in Huaxia, and the bigwigs who support the army like to solve problems in the most direct way.

"Their Civic Party has raised the slogan of not taking the initiative to fight a civil war!" Tao Xingzhi is also a little unconfident in such a promise, how many people in China are shouting that they will not fight a civil war, and at the same time send troops to fire and grab territory.

"We intend to build a naval school in Yantai!" Chen Shaokuan touched the repainted railing on the deck.

"Welcome, cultivate talents for Huaxia, we welcome it at any time!" Meng Xiang said with a smile.

Chen Shaokuan listened to Meng Xiang's specially accentuated word Huaxia, and he was also a little helpless, he had seen a lot abroad, and he also knew the meaning of the national army, and he also hoped to build a team that was only loyal to the country, but the interests of a huge group could not be changed by one or two people. It can't be changed, it can only be slowly influenced, gradually improved before it collapses internally.

After he occupied the coastal areas of Fujian and Guangzhou, the Central Navy also lost access to the sea. There is not even a training ground for the naval school, and the ones cultivated in the rivers and lakes are not called the navy, but can only be sailors.

And the only one who still has a coastline is the vanguard here, plus Shen Honglie became the principal of the Qingdao Naval Academy, and the two 10,000-ton warships in the Fifth Fleet are in service, so that everyone in the Fujian department can't sit still.

"The Fifth Fleet now has two large capital ships, can one be transferred to the Central Navy as a flagship?" Chen Shaokuan couldn't say these words, and after he took the opportunity to leave, a naval staff colonel next to him interjected and asked Meng Xiangdao.

"On the other side, I said that there are a lot of them, just go and grab one!" Meng Xiang listened to these words happily, but he definitely couldn't say them from his mouth, and he would be a general, a soldier against a soldier, and Lu Xingzhou, a staff officer of the lieutenant colonel beside him, retorted directly. Meng Xiang just smiled and said nothing, he couldn't mix this kind of thing, but he was also prepared for the Central Navy to come over and ask for warships.

"Isn't the Fifth Fleet the Central Navy?" The colonel's staff officer said angrily.

"Of course, the Fifth Fleet is the Central Navy guarding Shandong, Northern Jiangsu and other places, and we are not those local bureaucratic sailors who will only shrink into the rivers. These ships were born to fight in the sea, not in the lake as pleasure boats. Lu Xingzhou's meanness made several people on the other side blush.

"Don't be rude! We are all the Chinese Navy, regardless of the north and the south, and the people are all working hard to resist the Japanese! What is the difference between each other? Meng Xiang saw Chen Shaokuan coming, and blocked back with Lao Jiang's words in time.

After all, if the navy of the vanguard army wants to compete with the devils at this time, there is no one who can't do it. The shipyard at the base can quickly build all kinds of warships, but lacks a navy to drive battles. The 100-year-old navy is not empty talk, and the training of naval officers is not an overnight thing. At the same time, now that Meng Xiang is cultivating his lineage, it is impossible to form a large-scale combat effectiveness without ten or eight years. But the smoke of World War II is already smelling.

The training of officers who clone soldiers in a timely manner also takes time to become proficient, and their command is somewhat rigid and lacks flexibility. It is also necessary to continue to experience and improve in actual combat. There is a gap in this period, which needs to be filled by outsiders, and it is not enough to rely on Shen Honglie alone, he has few people, and he also needs other forces to check and balance internally to avoid a monopoly. At this time, the Fujian officer with solid skills from the professional class fell into Meng Xiang's eyes.

Politics is sometimes an art of balance, not just a commentary on compromise.

"The Izumo is a good fit as the flagship of the Central Navy!" Meng Xiang's words made Chen Shaokuan a little surprised in his heart. This kind of battleship is not so easy to get, Meng Xiang actually let it out as soon as he was there?

Meng Xiang pouted in his heart, an old-fashioned ship like the Izumo, if it weren't for its fame, Meng Xiang would have dismantled and recycled it directly. This kind of old ship is really suitable as the flagship of the Central Navy, and it does not need to be in battle, it just needs to have a reputation and pomp.

When it came to the core content, everyone walked away and scattered around, leaving the two of them there to discuss.

"I need three hundred officers, we'll pick ourselves! We will hand over the Izumo to the Central Navy, and we will also attach the naval base on Liugong Island in Weihai. Meng Xiang said bluntly.

In Weihai, the control of the vanguard army was very weak, the devils attacked in a big way, and Meng Xiang had a plan to give up retreating to Yantai. At this time, since the Izumo was given to the Central Navy, they had nowhere to dock, so Meng Xiang directly packed it up and gave them Liugong Island, and with them blocking the sea attack of the Yue army outside, Weihai could also be saved.

Meng Xiang's staff had already drawn up a list, and these three hundred people did not look at their identities, but only on their ability and morality. The vast majority of the above are Fujian officers, and those who are not Fujian can be dug up directly, and they do not need to go through this list. With the characters on this list, even according to the ratio of ten to one, you can manage and mobilize 3,000 sailors, and you can directly drive at least three large ships of more than 10,000 tons and their escort formations, and the requirements are even lower, plus Shen Honglie's manpower, as well as other non-Fujian officers, and the increasing number of clone naval officers, after two or three months, Meng Xiang estimates that at least ten large warships can be quickly built. With these 10 large ships of more than 10,000 tons, Meng Xiang estimates that he can also have the power to protect himself, so that he can implement a series of plans for the next step.

"The flagship was given to them, which one is our flagship?" Lu Xingzhou muttered with some dissatisfaction.

"The Dragon! We are the descendants of the dragon, and we are not worthy! Meng Xiang said with a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.

The Canglong was soon repaired and parked in a remote harbor near Longkou Harbor, where the Vanguard's first naval aviation group was training. With the help of the navy manpower accumulated by Meng Xiang, the establishment of 1,100 officers and men has also been put in place. Long Yi was transferred to serve as the first captain of the Soryu.

The reason why the Canglong was revealed was mainly because Meng Xiang got the latest information. After the Devil's Army shifted its target, the Devil's Navy continued to carry out the plan to strike at the Vanguard Army, and their mission was to blockade and strangle and destroy all the ports in the SAR. Even if the vanguard had other means of transport, it would not be able to take advantage of the port.

Because the spies of the Vanguard Army only had access to the high-level of the Devil Army, several spies in the navy had relatively low status and could not access this secret. He has always been very secretive, but he was the first to discover this information when he came into contact with many naval personnel because of the construction of the floating island. Although Meng Xiang instructed him not to contact others easily, according to the intelligence, the safety of the vanguard army had been endangered, so he still spread the word.

The shift in the goals of the Devil Army, as well as the pacification of the incident in Soviet Russia, gave the Devil Navy, which had been looking for an opportunity to try to expand its influence, a good excuse. The forces of the vanguard army that came to conquer were strengthened again. Although the detailed deployment is still under investigation, it is definitely not good.

In this way, Meng Xiang doesn't plan to cover the Canglong, anyway, if he has an excuse, what if he shows it?

"This little bit of strength is still a little less, plus a few ships?" Meng Xiang thought of the lonely appearance of the two large ships Izumo and Ashigara at the beginning, and couldn't help but think of the promise he had told Tang Yakushi that there would be new ships to join the Vanguard Navy.
