Go back to the past and be a schoolboy

Chapter 244 Ming Xiu Plank Road Darkness Chen Cang
"Baga, Lu, these Chinese people, are they really courting death!?"

I could only hear the men in the office screaming continuously, and then there was a burst of violent ping-pong-pong objects smashing.

"How long has Hiroshi been in this situation?"

Hideo Iwasaki came to the door and cast doubtful eyes on the waiter: "When did it start, and why are you so angry?"

The attendant was trembling: "I... I don't know, last time someone gave Guang Zhijun a dish that was not tasty enough, so Guang Zhijun beat me up and emphasized not to let me approach his office, otherwise It's just a fat beating."

Hideo Iwasaki's pupils narrowed slightly, and after sighing, he waved his hand to the waiter: "Forget it, I have wronged you, it's getting late, you should go and do your own work first?"

The waiter was relieved, nodded and retreated quickly.

However, halfway through the journey, he was suddenly stopped by Hideo Iwasaki again.

A gleam of coldness flashed in his eyes, Iwasaki Hidero said coldly: "Remember, if I hear this from a third person, you should understand the consequences, right? The water in the Huangpu River is very cold, I miss you Go and experience it for yourself."

Suddenly, the waiter's forehead was covered with cold sweat, his knees softened, and he knelt down involuntarily, not daring to lift his head: "I understand, I understand..."

However, Iwasaki Hidero didn't care about the waiter's situation at all, but knocked on the door of the office.

"Open the door."

"Get out! Do you want to be my sword ghost?" Hiroshi Iwasaki said angrily without even thinking about it.

"Open the door!" Iwasaki Hidero shook his head, did not back down, but continued to repeat the words and actions just now.

"I don't want to repeat it a second time, so I'll send you to see Amaterasu!" Hiroshi Iwasaki opened the door, ready to clean up the uninvited guests outside, but just went out, and immediately froze: "Brother... ...brother?"

"Open the door." Hideo Iwasaki said blankly.

At this time, Iwasaki Hiroshi was a little embarrassed, scratching his hair that had already become a chicken coop, hesitated for a while and said suddenly: "Brother, wait for me for 3 minutes!"

After saying this, Iwasaki Hiroshi did not give Iwasaki Hideo a chance to answer, and closed the door again.

Fortunately, Iwasaki Hiroshi was considered punctual, and the door was opened within 3 minutes.

At this time, Iwasaki Hiroshi was no longer as decadent as before. He was dressed in formal attire, hiding his fierceness perfectly, and dressed like a modest gentleman.

It's a pity that the drops of water dripping from the tips of her hair betrayed everything just now.

Out of respect for his younger brother, Hideo Iwasaki did not enter the house directly, but turned around and left when he saw that the other party was dressed.

"Now that it's packed, let's go to Shanghai Rihua Spinning Mill with me. There are some compatriots who need our support."

Unexpectedly, before taking a few steps, Iwasaki Hidero heard his brother's hoarse voice:
"There's no need to go. It's too late. It doesn't make any sense to go now. It's not even a fix. It's at best cleaning up the mess."

Hidero Iwasaki suddenly turned around: "What does this mean? More than 1000 female workers in the thick and thin yarn workshop of the Rihua Spinning Mill have unreasonably asked the factory to increase wages. How can businessmen in our Great Japanese Empire agree? It is not your style to respond negatively, nor is it My style."

Iwasaki Hiroshi walked over quickly, staring straight at his brother: "But the problem is, all these Chinese women workers have gone on strike, and we are still able to bear the original loss, it is nothing more than a few days less money. , but later..."

As if thinking of something extremely abominable, Hiroshi Iwasaki said viciously: "Afterwards they saw that there was a response to the strike at the Jiangnan Shipbuilding Works. With this power, the demands of these Chinese women workers intensified. Not only wages should be increased, but also rest should be increased. Even the foreman, Myoyo Asapi, who was in charge of these workers, demanded to be replaced..."

Iwasaki Hidero was startled suddenly. He really didn't expect that he had only worked overtime in the workshop for a period of time. There seemed to be a big change outside, and he was a little puzzled: "Could it be that Nakatoshi Tanabe agreed so easily? In my impression, he When you encounter the strong, you become strong, and when you encounter the weak, you become weak.”

Hiroshi Iwasaki's molars were gritted: "The factory rejected the disrespectful demands of the Chinese women workers, and asked the police to suppress the strike, and even severely cracked down on some of the Chinese women workers, but these Chinese women workers were even awarded Chinese scholars. With Cheng Nuo's support, the strike was unprecedentedly hot, and the strike continued, forcing the factory to agree to the workers' demands."

Iwasaki Hidero did not give up, and asked: "Apart from what you said, what other requirements did the Japanese side agree to?"

Iwasaki Hiroshi said dejectedly: "It is absolutely abhorrent to allow female workers to bring babies to the factory to breastfeed, to fire the watchman and foreman Asapi Mouso who beat up the female workers, to increase night shift wages, and so on!"

"It's really abominable!" After Iwasaki Hidero repeated it, he suddenly felt something was wrong. These demands seemed reasonable to him, and they were all legitimate rights. But if you think about it from another perspective, the labor side is Chinese, and the capital side is yourself. For natives, the ass decides the head.

Not only unreasonable, but extremely unreasonable.

But the remaining bit of conscience didn’t want Iwasaki Hideo to say something against his will, so he hesitated and said, “Forget it, just treat it as the mercy of our Great Japanese Empire to them, just like the rewards we gave them when we went to watch macaques.” banana."

Iwasaki Hiroshi sneered: "Even if it's a banana, it depends on our mood, and it won't last long. Not only these Chinese workers can't escape, even the so-called Chinese scholar can't escape the fate of being dominated by us. "

Looking at his increasingly fanatical younger brother, Iwasaki Hidero felt a little helpless, but since Shanghai Rihua Spinning Mill was disturbed by others and he couldn't go there for the time being, he thought about leaving this place, going to the workshop, and getting back to work on his own affairs, preparing to seize Japan" The big order of "[-]th Fleet" has changed the bad situation of Mitsubishi Shipbuilding.

As the name suggests, the 8th Fleet is composed of eight battleships and eight cruisers, and the main battleships are less than [-] years old.

It's just that Japan's domestic shipbuilding strength is weak, and it's not much better than China at this time. Right now, the "[-]th Fleet" is really implemented. However, it is precisely because of the expansion plan of the Ministry of the Navy that Iwasaki Hideo is a little anxious.

Just as Iwasaki Hidero turned and left, ready to hurry up the construction period, he was stopped by Iwasaki Hiroshi again.

"Brother, there is an old saying in China, 'A single thread does not make a thread, and a single tree does not make a forest'. Since we have thought of Shanghai Rihua Spinning Mill, why can't we think of other factories in the empire, especially those involving our shipbuilding industry? Focus on it, join forces, and kill China's shipbuilding industry at this stage!"

Immediately, he put his ear next to Iwasaki Hidero, whispering.

The atmosphere in the air suddenly cooled down, and I knew and knew and kept knowing, as if I had understood my human nature, and kept silent like a chilling cicada.

……

Inside the Jiangnan Shipyard, Morgan was very excited holding the newspaper at this time, shaking his beard upwards from time to time, proving that he was in a good mood.

"Come on, go to the newspaper office and buy me a few hundred copies of today's newspaper, bring it to the door of the shipyard, and give me a copy if you see anyone, let everyone see, what is a real maritime overlord, what is a day? Luo Empire, what is a real warship? The so-called [-]-ton giant ship is nothing in front of him!"

Hearing the greeting inside, his subordinates rushed over, but before he could react, Morgan covered his face with a newspaper with a picture of a huge warship, almost suffocating.

"Buy a few hundred copies? Mr. Morgan, this is not a small sum of money." The subordinate quickly took down the newspaper and flattered him.

"So what? Don't Chinese people often say 'a thousand dollars is hard to buy, I am happy'? Isn't it just a few hundred newspapers? I am happy!" Morgan was complacent, perhaps because he wanted to gain a further sense of superiority in front of his subordinates, and pointed directly at Looking at the picture of the warship above, he said, "Do you know what is on it?"

Knowing what the location is, the subordinate still pretends not to know: "I have little knowledge, please ask Mr. Morgan to clarify!"

Satisfied, Morgan wanted to find a match from his pocket, but he couldn't find it after searching for a long time. In the end, his subordinates reacted quickly and took the initiative to pick up their own matches and light them for Morgan.

After smoking one beautifully, Morgan smiled and said, "The warship on it is called 'Furious', which is a real aircraft carrier in the world, and also the world's first direct-deck aircraft carrier. Guess which world overlord built it? "

The subordinate asked knowingly: "I think this country must be the most powerful country in the world, but unfortunately I have relatively short experience and don't know which country it is. Do you know, Mr. Morgan?"

"Of course I know." Morgan laughed loudly, and said proudly, "Of course we are no more than the British Empire!"

Although the world's first history of aircraft taking off from warships begins with the American cruiser "Birmingham" in 1910, the area is only equivalent to the wooden deck of two classrooms, but in fact it only achieved deck take-off and could not do deck landing.

In fact, the sea and air carrier in the true sense should be counted from the United Kingdom, one of the old naval powers. A heavy stroke was made.

At the beginning, the "Rage" was only positioned as a large light cruiser, and it was scheduled to carry two 2mm main guns. As a result, when only the tail main guns were equipped, the original design was changed, and the front half of the superstructure was laid to the bow. The 457-meter-long wooden airstrip goes directly to the bow of the ship.

The location of the forward main battery turret and ammunition bay was reserved for a hangar for 8 aircraft.At this time, the "Fury" can only take off the plane, and after the plane takes off, it cannot return to the mother ship, and can only go to the airport on land.

Later, the "Furious" returned to the shipyard for refitting, and the main gun was also removed. The flight deck extended from the rear of the bacon and superstructure to the rear of the stern, and a simple landing arresting device was installed for aircraft landing.

There is a channel on both sides of the middle part that communicates with the bow take-off deck, so that the aircraft can bypass the superstructure through the left and right hemispheres, and can barely perform take-off and landing operations at the same time.

When Cheng Nuo officially joined Jiangnan Shipyard, the world's first through-deck aircraft carrier "Fury" was completely refitted, with a standard displacement of 19153 tons and a speed of 31.5 knots.

Although the "Fury" carrying 10 aircraft is still a very imperfect aircraft carrier at this time, it is inconvenient and dangerous for the aircraft to take off and land. Obliterate the great significance of the "Fury" in the history of aircraft carrier development.

Even after the end of World War I, the "Fury" continued to be refitted. The two "Lexington" class aircraft carriers of the United States and the Japanese "Akagi" and "Kaga" were known as the world's seven largest aircraft carriers at that time.

It even persisted until World War II. During the war, its two quasi-sisters, the "Glorious" and "Brave" aircraft carriers, which were also the seven major aircraft carriers, were sunk. The "Fury" still survived and was not sent to the disintegration site until the end of World War II.

Thinking of the huge value behind it, Morgan almost jumped up excitedly. These days, Cheng Nuo and the others suppressed him too hard. Even if he covered his ears, he didn't want to hear any news about Cheng Nuo.

But the humiliation of being forced to step down at the beginning has made him still unable to get over it.

Thinking of this, Morgan stopped the book that was about to go out, and said in a dark voice: "Remember, you don't need to post anything else, but you must put a few more copies in Professor Cheng Nuocheng's room, and don't let him send this important news to you." Ignored."

On the surface, the subordinates agreed again and again, but in their hearts they complained crazily: "You fight back and forth, why do you always let me charge forward, and I will always be the one who suffers..."

On the other hand, of course Cheng Nuo couldn't ignore such an important matter. He laughed off Morgan's provocation.

Not only can I see it by myself, but I also enlarged the structure diagram of the aircraft carrier on the blackboard so that all the workers in the shipyard can view it.

Chen Zhaoqiang, who was on the side, seemed to have discovered something terrible, pointed at the "Rage" on it and said in shock:
"Zhiyuan, the picture is very similar to the 'Liaoning' you gave me that time. Is this the aircraft carrier you mentioned? It is truly majestic. This is the future of the Navy. Whatever caliber is justice, it is not worth mentioning in front of him. .”

Cheng Nuo said with a smile: "This point of view is very forward-looking. Don't look at the ugly appearance in this picture. The lack of cannons makes it look a bit less powerful, but in fact its combat effectiveness has increased exponentially. Some time ago, it successfully passed 7 "Camel" "The Japanese fighter jets destroyed two Zeppelin airships, and the Warring States Period was fruitful."

"Zeppelin? That's a big thing. In the past, warships could only be beaten. I didn't expect to be able to turn from passive to active today." Although he had some estimates of the strength of the aircraft carrier, after he really learned about the battle, Chen Zhaoqiang still Some shock.

So-called zeppelins, which are filled with hydrogen inside, use air buoyancy to rise.During the First World War, when the combat effectiveness of aircraft was insufficient, the military Zeppelin airship once made a big splash, dropping countless bombs in Belgium, Britain, France and other places.

But in the later stage, this kind of "big guy" with a sailing speed of less than 100 kilometers per hour will only become a target and gradually retreat to the edge of the battlefield.

But even so, it is not something these traditional warships can compete with.

Thinking of these results, Chen Zhaoqiang said excitedly: "You said that they are all [-]-ton giant ships. Through our accumulated experience in building these four ships, can we directly build an aircraft carrier of our own to protect our sea power?

China has such a long coastline and so many rivers, but which of the ships sailing on the rivers and seas is not made by foreign countries?If we do not establish a shipbuilding industry ourselves, how can we establish a country?The great situation in the future is waving to us. "

Cheng Nuo also wanted to study aircraft carriers in advance, knowing that Japan would design a special "Fengxiang" aircraft carrier next year.

Although the start of construction of the ship was more than two years later than the British "Hermes", the Japanese rushed to work day and night, and finally the "Fengxiang" was completed in December 1922, becoming the world's first purpose-built ship. aircraft carrier.

In the 30s, the "Fengxiang" sailed into the coastal waters of our country to support the Japanese army in land operations, which is of great strategic significance.

But thinking about the cost of building an aircraft carrier and the cost of maintenance, Cheng Nuo thought that neither was a small sum. Although his arms were a little thicker now, he could no longer move the aircraft carrier.

With bitterness on his face, Cheng Nuo shook his head: "Unless we have the support of the Admiralty, we have absolutely no hope of building an aircraft carrier..."

Looking at the "Furious" ship on the picture, Cheng Nuo's eyes began to lose focus, his eyes began to lose focus, and his thoughts drifted further and further away.

At this moment, Cheng Nuo thought of a roundabout strategy, pulled Chen Zhaoqiang excitedly and said, "Although we don't have government support, we still have other ways to go. Our ancestors taught us the method long ago, but We didn’t find out before.”

"Leave it to us? Are you talking about the previous shipbuilding technology? It must not work. It has long been unable to beat the iron warship." Chen Zhaoqiang was a little confused.

Cheng Nuo was so teased that he burst into tears, "I'm talking about 'clearly repairing the plank road, keeping secret'."

Chen Zhaoqiang was puzzled: "What do you mean?"

Cheng Nuo said mysteriously: "We can't build an aircraft carrier, but we can build coal carriers, merchant ships, etc. As long as the tonnage is large enough, everything is not a problem!"

Although the aircraft carrier has been born now, the first time an aircraft carrier was put into combat on a large scale was during World War II. During this period, many aircraft carriers were refitted from coal carriers and merchant ships.

Although the specific effect looks almost, it is better than nothing.

Just when Chen Zhaoqiang was about to ask for clarification, someone outside suddenly sent a small note, opened it to check, and it read:

"Beware, Morgan is making contact with the Japanese."
