The matter of transferring aviation units to Zhejiang has now been orally determined by Chen Jingyun, and then the next thing is the matter of the people below, such as the adjustment of the establishment, such as the transfer of aircraft and logistics supply, etc., all of which must be coordinated and resolved by the major departments under the National Army Command.

And Chen Jingyun himself didn't care much after he gave the order, after all, if Chen Jingyun was in charge of those detailed affairs, it was estimated that many miscellaneous matters in the national army could exhaust him to death.

Early the next morning, Chen Jingyun took Sa Zhenbing and Yu Wentao from the Navy Department to Mawei to inspect, which was also the first time Chen Jingyun went to inspect the Mawei Shipyard.

"Young master, it has been arranged over there, don't worry!" Before leaving, Chen Cai said to Chen Jingyun, and Chen Jingyun also knew what Chen Cai's arrangement meant, that is, Dong Bai's family.

After all, this time Chen Jingyun went to Mawei on official business, and he brought a large number of people with him, not only a group of naval officers from the Navy Department, but also a group of people from the headquarters, as well as Yu Shifeng and others from the Secretariat, plus the accompanying guards, not to mention more than 200 people, when so many people were with him, it was not easy for Chen Jingyun to take Dong Baishi with him. After all, image is also something to be taken care of.

Mawei Shipyard is at the mouth of the Minjiang River, there is a distance from the urban area of Fuzhou, if you start from the Governor's Mansion, you have to walk more than 20 kilometers after twists and turns, but Chen Jingyun has a car to travel is not troublesome. In the past two years, especially after Xinhai, cars have risen rapidly in China, and last year Fuzhou was only Chen Jingyun's governor's mansion with more than a dozen cars, but in a few months, Fuzhou had hundreds of cars, and there was no money in the military and political axes, but all the princes who served were rich and learned from Chen Jingyun, and paid for their own cars. This is not only the case in Fuzhou, but also in other coastal cities, especially Tianjin, Shanghai, and Guangzhou.

Chen Jingyun, Sa Zhenbing and other military and political dignitaries had cars to sit on, but there were many people accompanying them, some of them rode horses, some used horse-drawn carriages, so the speed along the way was not fast at all, and it took several hours to reach the Mawei shipyard.

Needless to say, the history of Mawei Shipyard has been owned by the military and political axe since Xinhai, and then it was acquired by the Fuzhou Arsenal and became a shipyard under the Fuzhou Arsenal, and the Fuzhou Arsenal is run by the military and political axe and Chen Jingyun's private capital, so the Mawei Shipyard is also a government and businessman.

When I got out of the car, I saw a huge and dilapidated factory building, which looked like it had been renovated but the signs of weeds regrowing were still visible.

Looking at this former largest shipyard in Asia, Chen Jingyun sighed in his heart.

At this time, the director of the shipyard Xi Zhixing had already brought the people from the shipyard to greet him: "I've seen the governor!" ”

Chen Jingyun endured the sigh in his heart and waved his hand, showing a smile and said, "Everyone is okay!" ”

Xi Zhixing said: "It's all right!" ”

Chen Jingyun can also see that a group of people in this shipyard obviously have a festive color, the reason Chen Jingyun also knows, this is because the Mawei shipyard finally received an order for a warship after many years of silence, and although the cost of this gunboat ordered by the Fuzhou fleet is not high, but for the shipyard staff who have been poor for many years, it is undoubtedly manna from heaven. Senior managers also receive dividends, among other things. It even fed a group of people who relied on the shipyard, and behind these people there were old and young, to put it simply, the manufacture of this gunboat to some extent solved the problem of the livelihood of thousands of people.

After staying at the door for a while, Xi Zhixing took Chen Jingyun and a group of military and political dignitaries to visit all parts of the shipyard, although the shipyard had made preparations in advance for Chen Jingyun's inspection, but there was still desolation everywhere. The scale of Mawei Shipyard was originally very large, but most of the departments and equipment in the historical integration were accepted by Fuzhou Arsenal, and many skilled workers also went to Fuzhou Arsenal. Now only shipbuilding is left, and other subsidiary departments have been relocated to the Fuzhou Arsenal, and in the future shipbuilding, many shipyards will have to rely on the Fuzhou Arsenal, such as steel.

"Now we have received the first batch of shipbuilding funds, and have sent orders for machinery and equipment to major foreign banks, and the plant and original equipment are also being sorted out and repaired." Xi Zhixing accompanied Chen Jingyun and kept explaining.

The group did not stay long in those huge and dilapidated factories, but slowly walked to the shipbuilding dock under the guidance of Xi Zhixing.

And there, preparations are being made to lay the keel. And this is also the reason why Chen Jingyun came to Mawei Shipyard today, he is here to preside over the keel laying ceremony of the first new warship built after Mawei has been silent for many years.

Walking into the dock, what caught my eye was an open area, and there were already many shipyard workers waiting in the dock, and Chen Jingyun lost no time in making a speech after he went.

"A country cannot be called a great power without a strong navy, and the re-emergence of our Chinese navy is today. And the re-emergence of the Chinese Navy is also due to your unremitting hard work! Chen Jingyun first encouraged him according to the old routine, and then he promoted his private goods, such as the national superiority surname, the oppression of China by the world powers, and so on, and Chen Jingyun gave more and more speeches, basically his skills became more and more proficient, and a casual speech was more than half an hour, and there was no need for a speech at all.

In the end, Chen Jingyun preached the National Socialist Party again, and praised the people who had joined the National Socialist Party in the shipyard: "There is no doubt that you are all frontrunners, and when people are still immersed in illusions, you have stood up and fought at the forefront for the rejuvenation of China!" ”

After a speech, Chen Jingyun went to shake hands with several factory representatives one by one, and then smiled and asked the accompanying photographer to take pictures, which is a good thing for publicity, as long as the photo is sent out, and accompanied by a brilliant press release, it is enough to attract the attention of many people. Behold, while the other warlords of China are scraping the ground in order to expand their armies, I, Chen Jingyun, have worked hard for the revival of the Chinese navy, and the industries of Fujian have been revitalized under the leadership of me, Chen Jingyun......

After sitting down on the surface, Xi Zhixing explained the details of this newly built gunboat to Chen Jingyun.

"According to the requirements of the Navy Department, the engineers of our shipyard designed this gunboat with reference to the gunboat manufactured by the Jiangnan Factory and the gunboat purchased from the book, and the Navy Department has preliminarily named it Changle. Take the meaning of Changle County! "At present, the name of the warship of the Chinese Navy basically follows the former Qing Dynasty, but the naming method of the former Qing Dynasty is too confusing and the National Navy is innovative, so it does not use special word collocation to name the ship, but imitates the name of the Western countries or human life, because the warship is a gunboat, but because it also has a displacement of 800 tons, plus it is the first big ship ordered by the Fuzhou fleet, so it uses a county name.

Chen Jingyun nodded and motioned for Xi Zhixing to continue, Xi Zhixing said: "The Changle is sixty-two meters long, nine meters wide, and has a draft of 2.5 meters, which can carry 150 tons of coal and 16 tons of fresh water, with a horsepower of 1,400 horses, a displacement of 800 tons, and an estimated speed of 14 knots.

It is equipped with a four-inch front main gun, a three-inch rear main gun, and six other small-caliber rapid-fire guns, which are designed for coastal and inland river patrols, shelling shore targets and providing artillery support for the army. The estimated cost is 750,000 silver dollars! ”

After Xi Zhixing said it briefly, he told Chen Jingyun about the design details of the ship, but Chen Jingyun didn't have any in-depth research on shipbuilding or anything, and many things could only be listened to a rough idea, but since this ship was the result of the Navy Department and the shipyard together, he also believed that these people should be sure.

After the explanation, then it was time to lay the keel ceremony, and Chen Jingyun had to do some superficial work in this process. After these things were done, Chen Jingyun had a meal with Xi Zhixing and several other senior engineers from the shipyard, and it was not until the afternoon that he was a little free.

Taking advantage of the little free time, Chen Jingyun went out to the shipyard with Chen Cai, and then went to a three-story villa by the river not far from the shipyard.

"I heard that this house was built by a foreign engineer who used to work in the shipyard!" Chen Cai explained while leading Chen Jingyun in, and as soon as he entered, Chen Jingyun saw Dong Bai's inside.

Today's Dong Bai is different from usual, he did not wear ordinary clothes such as plackets, but wore foreigners' skirts. After Xinhai, people's clothing has changed a lot, men began to tend to suits, and women like to change young girls in addition to a small number of retro wear Hanfu, more are wearing foreign skirts, in addition, Chen Jingyun let Lin Yun make out of the cheongsam seems to have a tendency to spread, of course, the spread of the style is changed, the conservative kind, these years are few women have the courage to wear a split to the thigh position of the cheongsam around, not to mention Chinese, even foreigners are no exception.

Today, she is wearing a Western skirt, wearing a wide-brimmed soft-topped gauze hat on her head, a brightly colored feather on her head, and a pair of long gloves on her arms, holding a small folding fan in her hand, and the small high heels of Mary Jane's shoes can be vaguely seen under the skirt.

Sure enough, before Chen Jingyun could say it, this Dong Bai's stepped up, and at this time, Dong Bai's figure wearing Mary Jane's shoes and small high heels was even more convex and concave, this Dong Bai's was originally a young woman with a good figure, and her whole body exuded the charm of a woman with a sense of surname, and today this dress almost stunned Chen Jingyun.
