readx; "Through this naval battle, the future main direction of the navy has been fully realistic, and the aircraft carrier is the decisive weapon of the future navy, so the design of the future capital ship should focus on cooperating with the aircraft carrier, which can provide escort for the aircraft carrier formation. www.biquge.info I would like to say two points here, the first is that the speed must be able to keep up with the maneuvering speed of the aircraft carrier formation, and the second point is to maintain strong firepower while improving the air defense capability and night artillery combat capability as much as possible! Speaking of this, Chen Jingyun remembered something, and then continued: "Well, regarding the night battle, the navy can contact Hanzhong Electronics Company, they are now developing a radio detection equipment. ”

Hearing the radio detection equipment in Chen Jingyun's mouth, the two were a little stunned. Radio they know what it is, but what is a radio detection device?

Although the basic concept of radar in this year was put forward as early as 1922, it has not been put into practical use, and the rapid development of all aspects of technology in this era, except for Chen Jingyun, no one knows that those new technologies can play a major role, and Cheng Biguang and Sa Zhenbing and other Chinese naval generals pay more attention to the development of fire control computers, as well as the development of traditional areas such as warship power, and most of the attention to other new technologies is also on aircraft. And for the radar, which has not yet appeared, it is naturally not clear.

Chen Jingyun saw that they didn't understand, and he didn't have the time and mood to explain to them in detail the principle of radar and the great role of the future, but said: "It is a detection device that can find long-distance targets in the case of low visibility." The specific situation, your navy itself and Hanzhong Electronics are in contact! ”

Speaking of this, Chen Jingyun added another sentence: "This new equipment should pay attention to secrecy!" ”

Hearing Chen Jingyun say this, Cheng Biguang and Sa Zhenbing both kept it in their hearts, they didn't dare to slack off on what Chen Jingyun personally ordered, Cheng Biguang was already muttering, what is the radio detection equipment? And when did another Hanzhong Electronics pop up in China?

Hanzhong Electronics was actually only established for about a year, this enterprise is a little different from other enterprises, that is, the predecessor of this enterprise is not a company, but a laboratory under Huaxia Bank, to be precise, Chen Jingyun privately invested in a research and development radar laboratory, as early as 1925 has been set up and carried out basic research, and thanks to the rapid development of China's electronics industry, it has also driven the research and development speed of a series of radio products such as radar.

In 1928, the laboratory put forward the idea of a multi-cavity magnetron and established a model last year, and at that time, the person in charge of the laboratory swore to Chen Jingyun that the model would be fully practical within three to five years. You know, Chen Jingyun knows what radar is, but he only knows some of the basic principles of radar, he doesn't know how the early radar was made, and he heard that the people in the laboratory are so confident, and he really hopes that the radar can be put into practical use as soon as possible, so he generously directly set up a Hanzhong Electronics and invested more research and development funds.

Although there is still a long way to go before the real radar is developed, it is always right to let the navy contact one or two first, and then the navy can also contribute part of the funds to research and development.

To put it bluntly, these are fixed assets, and most of the cash he can use every year comes from dividends, although these dividends are astronomical compared to others, but these money is still not enough for Chen Jingyun.

In order to support the development of high-tech industries in China, Chen Jingyun provides a large amount of funds to some university laboratories in China and other laboratories in the name of various investment funds or donations every year. In addition, he was responsible for funding several secret experimental projects, especially the development of atomic bombs and rockets, which alone cost Chen Jingyun a large amount of private funds each year.

He also thought about letting the political axe take over, but the financial situation of the political axe has not been good, and he can't come up with so much money every year, and this kind of experimental project needs to be highly confidential, and he is not ready to let too many people know these things, so far, in addition to him, even Zhuang Nan, the president of the Government Council, and those bigwigs in the military do not know that China still has atomic bomb research.

However, the cost of these two laboratories is increasing year by year, although Chen Jingyun has money, he also feels a little unbearable, and plans to find a suitable opportunity in the next few years to let the political axe bear the expenses!

In fact, in the research and development of nuclear bombs, the research of the principle part does not cost much money, and what really costs money is the final manufacturing stage. At that time, it will be impossible to do it without using the power of the entire country.

Chen Jingyun naturally wouldn't say these things to the Navy's Sa Zhenbing and Cheng Biguang, did he directly say to them, I don't have much money, and I want the Navy to provide funds to support the research and development of radar?

After Cheng Biguang and Sa Zhenbing left Chen Jingyun's office, Yan Jing Kuang walked up: "Two, the navy's big victory yesterday can be said to have laid the victory or defeat of this war in one fell swoop!" ”

Yan Jing Kuang made no secret of his compliments to the navy, and he went too far. Although the Chinese Navy won a brilliant victory in yesterday's naval battle, from a practical point of view, it is an exaggeration to determine the outcome of this war in one fell swoop. Although the strength of the Honto Navy has been severely damaged, the main force of the Honko Navy is still in good condition, the three main battleships of the Tosa, Mutsu, and Kii are still intact, and the three high-speed battlecruisers of the 3rd Sentai are also maintaining their strength, among which the seriously damaged Kaga will also be able to exert its combat effectiveness again if it undergoes emergency repairs for two or three months, in addition to the old Fuso and Yamashiro, and many heavy cruisers, light cruisers, and destroyers. If we simply compare the strength of the battleship formation, it is said that "this navy still has an advantage, and in view of the huge strength of China's First Air Fleet, although it is impossible for this navy to gain much superiority in a decisive battle, it is not too much of a problem to maintain the defense of the coast of this country, the lines of communication in the Tsushima Strait, and the lines of communication in the southern seas."

And the fact that the main force still exists is also an important factor why the Chinese Navy does not dare to directly blockade the Tsushima Strait.

So yesterday's big victory, although it was a big victory for the navy, was far from the stage where the outcome of this war was decided.

In fact, it was the army on the Korean battlefield that ultimately decided the outcome of the war.

However, Yan Jing Kuang naturally won't say these things, and the navy won't let him lose anything if he compliments him, and he also married Sa Zhenbing a few years ago, and Sa Zhenbing's status is a good thing for him.

In the face of Yan Jing Kuang's compliment, Sa Zhenbing and Cheng Biguang were both full of smiles, and they were also a little complacent in their hearts, of course, they still had to say kind words, Sa Zhenbing said: "This is all the credit of the chairman, without the chairman leading us to rebuild the navy, without the chairman's strong support for the development of aircraft carriers in the navy, it would be impossible to have today's victory of the navy!" ”

Putting all the credit on Chen Jingyun shows his own modesty, and also shows the great credit of the navy, after all, Chen Jingyun is the supreme leader, and any victory is his victory, so praising Chen Jingyun's merits is tantamount to praising the merits of the navy itself.

Yan Jing Kuang accompanied them again, and sent them to the door of the presidential office building before returning.

On the night of December 10, the main fleet of the Chinese Navy returned to Shanghai smoothly, although the military operations were kept secret during the war, and it was impossible for too many ordinary people to know the news, but there were still a large number of powerful and upper-level figures who personally went to the dock to greet the naval officers and soldiers who had achieved a great victory.

When Cheng Biguang led a group of naval generals to receive Wen Ting, Heguan Shijie and other generals participating in the war at the dock, Cheng Biguang said to them: "You have played the prestige of our Chinese Navy in this battle!" ”

Then he approached Guan Shijie and Wen Tinghe and said: "The chairman said that this victory is in his eyes and in his heart!" ”

Then he lowered his voice and said, "If nothing else, it won't be long before the two of you should be able to enter the military committee!" ”

I didn't say it too loudly, and only Wen Ting and Guan Shijie heard it, and after these two people heard Cheng Biguang's words, they were already surprised, what is the military committee in Cheng Biguang's mouth? That would mean going to the State Military Council. But it is clear to everyone that all the people in the State Military Council are generals. Cheng Biguang said this, that is to say, the promotion of these two of them to general is not far away.

Although the scale of the Chinese Navy is not small, there are not many active generals, only Cheng Biguang and Sa Zhenbing, in addition to a few retired admirals, but those are all of the older generation, and they were promoted to generals when they were about to retire, and as soon as they were promoted, they were immediately transferred to the reserves, and active generals and retired admirals are two different things.

The reason why the number of active admirals in the navy is far less than that of the army, in addition to the fact that the scale of the navy is not as good as that of the army, is also related to the admirals in the navy, because Chen Jingyun has been trying to divide the factions within the navy in the past ten years of rebuilding the navy. Among them, Wen Ting and Guan Shijie can be regarded as the best.

After the victory in this naval battle, Chen Jingyun must reward all the generals, in addition to the false names of medals, the most important thing is the promotion of military ranks.

Xiang Wen Tinghe and Guan Shijie, a lieutenant-admiral-level general, the greatest wish is to be able to stand out from dozens of vice admirals in the navy, and then be promoted to admiral and enter the State Military Commission to become a real naval boss.

And Cheng Biguang said this to them, naturally he was also instructed by Chen Jingyun in advance, the promotion of admiral is a matter of great importance, and the navy must also prepare in advance, so it is impossible to directly come to the promotion order and say that Wen Ting and Guan Shijie will be promoted to admiral.

Just when Cheng Biguang was about to go to the Navy Kiri to hold a celebration ball, among the large number of warships returning to the sea, the damaged warships began to enter the slipway of the Jiangnan Shipyard for repair, and the slipway of the Jiangnan Shipyard was limited, and there were many damaged ships, so some of the lightly injured ships, including the Zhuan, would be repaired in Shanghai after preliminary repairs, and then go to the Qingdao Naval Base along the coastline, where the equipment and technology of the Qingdao Naval Shipyard are not inferior to the Jiangnan Shipyard. Of course, for the sake of safety, along the way, shore-based aviation and some auxiliary ships will be escorted.

When the main fleet returned to China, the Admiralty quickly promoted some of the generals who had meritorious service, of course, this was only limited to middle-level generals, and the promotion restrictions above the rank of general were relatively large, such as Rear Admiral Chen Shaokuan, although he made a huge military contribution in serving as the commander of the First Air Brigade, but it was not easy to be directly promoted to lieutenant general. Moreover, Guan Shijie, although Chen Jingyun has already made up his mind to promote him to general, but now that it is the war, he still needs Guan Shijie to continue to lead the air fleet, and he cannot be easily removed from his post, so the promotion of senior generals will be suspended.

The day after the fleet returned home, Vice Admiral Eisuke Yamamoto, commander of the 1st Fleet and commander of the Combined Fleet, was removed from his post and forced to transfer to the reserve three months later, and Vice Admiral Hidesuke Yamamoto was replaced by Vice Admiral Takuzo Kobayashi.

The first thing Kobayashi did after taking office was to order the strengthening of the air defense forces of the navy's ships and the purchase of a large number of combat aircraft, especially air defense fighters.
