readx; On the morning of May 23, after the outbreak of the largest naval battle between China and the two countries after the Battle of Deland, the news spread all over the world almost in just a few hours. But part of the results of the naval battle, especially the sinking of two enemy battlecruisers, were publicized for the first time!

At one o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, Director Jin, spokesman of the Nanjing Republican Political Axe Information Office, officially announced the news of the naval battle in the East China Sea, and after saying a lot of useless nonsense, there was only one of the most worthwhile, that is, the sinking of two enemy battle cruisers.

"Our heroic and fearless navy in China conducted a large-scale decisive battle in the East China Sea in the morning with the main fleet of the Navy, sinking the enemy Kongo on the spot and severely damaging the enemy Hiei, and according to aviation follow-up reconnaissance, the Hiei also sank at about 10:30 in the morning!" Although the spokesman Director Jin was expressionless as always, the color revealed in his eyes already represented the excitement in his heart.

As soon as the reporters below heard this, they immediately exploded, and today's naval battle had already broken out this morning, and China said that the two countries had already reported to their own countries when the naval battle was just over, and in the following hours, the two [***] high-level political leaders also received simple news one after another, and with the radio waves, it was also transmitted to the ears of the military and political leaders of other powers in the world. However, in the past few hours, it has spread all over the world, referring only to the military and political leaders of various countries, for example, among the Americans, only a few people such as the US ambassador to China, the US secretary of state, and the US president, and ordinary people do not know that China and the two countries have broken out in a large-scale naval battle this morning.

Originally, I just thought it would be an ordinary press conference, but I didn't expect to get such important news, and the people who were able to attend this press conference were all reporters from major Chinese and foreign newspapers, and they were all famous and knowledgeable about all aspects of politics and military affairs, so when I heard that China said that a sea battle had broken out between the two countries, and that the Chinese Navy had sunk two battlecruisers, I was extremely shocked.

"Director Kim, can you tell us the details of the naval battle? And what about the losses of both the enemy and us? "The first person who was allowed to ask questions was a reporter from the Southeast Daily.

Director Jin muttered in his heart: "The detailed history of the naval battle is the highest level of military secret, let alone me, there are few military and political bigwigs who know about it, and I can't tell you if I know it!" ”

However, it was naturally impossible to say what he muttered in his heart, so he had to say professionally: "The details of the naval battle are military secrets, and it is inconvenient to disclose them to the public!" After the Navy Archives will declassify the materials of this naval battle, you can check it for yourself! ”

"As for the loss of friend and foe!" When Director Jin said this, he raised his tone: "According to the feedback from the navy, in addition to the two battle cruisers sunk by the Second Fleet, the other two Kirishima and Haruna were also heavily damaged by our army, and one enemy cruiser and two destroyers were sunk. And the invincible navy of our republic was slightly damaged in this naval battle, sinking one destroyer and one light cruiser, but two battleships were unscathed."

This tone is categorical and resolute!

During the war, when victory or defeat is concerned, especially when it comes to battleships, which are important weapons of the country, even if they really sink, they have to hold on and say that they are not sinking, just like now saying that "the Ise that has sunk in Port Arthur and the Ise that have sunk in Port Arthur are only seriously injured and need to be overhauled." And when things came to the Chinese side, it was the same, in order not to affect the morale of the people, it was impossible to say that both the enemy and us suffered heavy losses in this naval battle, although they sank two enemy battlecruisers, but their own losses were not small, not to mention the sinking of the three ships Huatai, Xialan and Markham, the other ships, including the two battleships, were seriously damaged and had to return to China for overhaul, especially the Yandi, not only the No. 1 turret was stuck and could not move, even the front fire control system was destroyed, It can be said that half of the combat effectiveness has been removed, and major surgery must be performed to repair it. These two battleships are not only the cornerstone of the navy, but also the spiritual support of the people, not to mention that they can still maintain their combat effectiveness, even if they are really crippled, they have to say that they are not.

"The Navy of the Republic still has the ability and confidence to protect our country's thousands of miles of sea frontiers!" Director Kim's tone was full of confidence, and the reporters didn't care so much, they just needed to know how much the enemy sank and how much they sank.

Shut down

Of course, there are other people who are concerned about other questions, such as the New York Times reporter who asked: "Who was the commander of your navy in this naval battle?" Who is the commander of the fleets? ”

Director Jin said: "This naval battle was conducted under the care of His Excellency Chen Jingyun, President of our country, and under the guidance of Admiral Sa Zhenbing, Commander-in-Chief of the Admiralty, and under the personal command of Vice Admiral Cheng Biguang, Commander of the First Fleet! ”

Speaking of this, Director Jin also took the initiative to speak: "In order to prevent you from wasting time looking for who the commander of this navy is, I can tell you that if there is no temporary change of generals on this side, the commander of this side in this naval battle is Vice Admiral Isamu Takeshita, commander of the combined fleet and commander of the First Fleet, and rear admiral Bai and Kumasan, chief of staff of the combined fleet. As well as the commander of the Second Fleet, Vice Admiral Naoe Nakano, and the Chief of Staff of the Second Fleet, Rear Admiral Ryozo Nakamura. ”

In fact, the commander of the naval battle can easily know who it is, and these appointments are not secrets, not to mention that under the spied on the intelligence agencies, even the people with a little heart can know a thing or two.

The press conference did not last long, and soon the reporters dispersed in a hurry and then entered the telegraph room, where one press release after another was forwarded to various places through the airwaves, and in the evening of the same day, the urgently printed newspaper numbers were already in the hands of the newsboys.

"Extra, extra! The victory in the East China Sea is a great victory for my country's navy! The newsboy waved the newspaper in his hand vigorously, and as soon as he shouted the slogan, a large crowd gathered around.

A man in a bright suit, shining leather shoes, and shiny hair squeezed up with a black work bag: "Great victory in the East China Sea? Hurry up and give me a copy, you don't have to look for it, I'll reward you more! ”

As soon as the man took the newspaper, the newsboy saw another hand holding money, and the young student in a black student uniform, who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, shouted: "Quick, give me a copy!" ”

Although the newsboy was in a hurry, his immature and blue face also showed a smile, and the smile was not because of the victory in the East China Sea, the victory or loss of the navy was his business, what made him laugh was: Today's newspaper is selling very well!

After a while, the newspapers on his body were sold out, and then he immediately ran in straw sandals, and he wanted to take advantage of the time to get another batch of newspapers to sell, thinking that it would be great if the navy won the war every day, and his newspapers would not be sold a lot, and he might be able to wear cloth shoes like Wang Fatzi.

The newsboy ran away with a smile, and those who bought the newspaper looked at it carefully, a man in his twenties who was wearing a white-washed patch shortcoat with a flat pole in his hand and barefoot listened to the lively talk in the crowd, and immediately approached a man in a suit with a newspaper on his shoulder: "Sir, what happened?" ”

The man in a suit and leather shoes walking next to him turned to look at the sweaty coolies around him, and immediately walked two steps faster without answering, muttering as he walked: "What national affairs do you care about!" ”

The man in the suit walked quickly, and the muttering voice was small, and the man behind him didn't hear it, although he was obviously aware of the contempt of others, but he still couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, and looked left and right and walked to the side of the student: "Brother student, I heard that you won the battle, didn't you?" ”

The young student in the black student uniform was in a good mood at this time, and he was not as snobbish as the others, so he immediately handed the newspaper he had finished reading to the man: "Well, the East China Sea is a great victory, but our navy has sunk these two big ships!" No, see for yourself! ”

The man with the flat shoulder smiled awkwardly: "I can't read!" ”

Although the student was in a good mood, he was not good enough to read the newspaper to a poor man on the street, and he seemed to be in a hurry, so he didn't care if the man was illiterate, and immediately took the newspaper over and ignored the people and left, and his face was still excited while walking, and when he got home, the student said to his father that night: "Father, I am not going to the army school, I am going to the navy, to the Nanjing Naval Academy!" ”

And the man with the flat burden took the newspaper and returned to the old alley where he lived in the evening, and then gave it to an old lady in the neighborhood, who was literate.

The old lady immediately read the news of the victory in the East China Sea in the newspaper, and after hearing this, the man didn't speak for a long time, and then asked the old lady: "I heard that when you are in the navy, you can eat meat every day?" ”

The old lady just recognized two words, but he knew these things, but he still pretended to know and said: "Isn't it, a few years ago, there was a baby in my village who went to the navy, and after two years of hard work, the whole person was as strong as a bear. Besides, the clothes are good material at a glance, and they look very energetic! Speaking of this, the old lady also sighed and said: "My nephew also went to apply last year, but he didn't choose, alas, it's a pity!" ”

The old lady didn't know that after he said this, the next day the man went to the navy's recruiting station, and the people from the navy's recruitment office asked him, "Why did you come to the navy?" ”

He said, "To be able to eat meat every day!" ”
