The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

The gossip spread quickly, and the Americans and French knew it immediately. The fleets of each family followed behind and watched from afar, never crossing the police cordon required by the other party. (:, reading novels will be updated soonest)

Zhu Bin is not a gang of softies in the national government, basically he is very tough, and he has never ended well. The fleets of various countries in the Far East are all scumbags, and a heavy cruiser can sweep them away. What the hell, do you think you can find fault with a powerful empire?Didn't die?In today's international situation, Britain and France are overwhelmed by Germany, and only the United States has the leisure and ability to toss, but the relationship between the Americans and Zhu Bin is even more honeymoon than a honeymoon!

Ever since, several warships watched the excitement from behind, but after dark, they found that it was not possible. The distance between the opposing fleet was too large. There were thirty nautical miles, and they were separated by another twenty nautical miles, and there was not a single hair in sight. Moreover, in order to fully verify the performance of the ship, the First Fleet kept changing directions and turning around, nailing them behind their buttocks like two fools. Hurt the face of the great powers!

No need to discuss, several warships turned around and headed directly to Shanghai, didn't they watch the ceremony tomorrow?You always have to go, why don't you take a step first, otherwise, the slow-moving old-fashioned battleship won't be in a hurry!

"Those idiots finally figured it out!" After receiving the report from the night reconnaissance plane, Wang Da giggled strangely, thinking that he was not too stupid to be hopelessly stupid.

The formation of aircraft carrier and battleship moved in, stretching its frame and occupying an area of ​​at least hundreds of nautical miles. The radius of the air patrol and reconnaissance aircraft was about [-] nautical miles.There is no problem in wandering around the sky at a speed of hundreds of kilometers per hour for a whole day and night. The airborne radar and detection equipment are sufficient to ensure that the ships on the sea are scanned clearly. It is basically impossible to avoid their detection. There are too many scumbags to watch.

According to the various formation combat plans provided by the simulation training center, the entire fleet began to carry out regular combat drills, especially vigilant navigation and sudden challenges. .

All the naval officers and soldiers on and off the fleet have gone through thousands of simulated exercises, and the only difference is that they conduct them on the battleship in person. The various facilities of the virtual base are almost the same as those of the real ship, and they are quick to learn.Incredible.

Countries all over the world blocked the news of Japan, and those who knew the situation refused to disclose it. It was not until the early hours of the morning that Japan's secret service in Shanghai discovered that the representatives of various countries had changed unusually. It took many twists and turns to figure it out. Later, I will come to Shanghai to invite all parties to watch the ceremony, so I should pay attention to it now.But the first thought: "Probably a few more heavy cruisers have entered service?"

<Qing Shipbuilding began to manufacture the keel hull of the light ship in sections, after it was lowered along the Yangtze River.It was assembled in Wuhan or Anqing, and then flowed downstream to Shanghai or Shandong to install weapons and equipment. The speed was unbelievable.The two most recent heavy cruisers and the two already built in the Jiangnan Shipyard have been completed in this way.

The abominable thing is that this technology is only in the hands of a few chief engineers.The vast majority of workers only do what they see, and want to buy or steal their secrets, unless they first get past the secret agents of the global defense company. The difficulty is no less than going to Tokyo to assassinate the emperor.

Furthermore, there are not so many shipyards in Japan playing this game.The major shipyards belong to major companies, and they cooperate with each other?What are you dreaming about?

It's just that heavy cruisers are not worthy of attention. No matter how many there are, they are scumbags in front of super powerful battleships!However, if it is just a heavy cruiser, is it worth the representatives of all countries mobilizing their troops?

wrong!Shigeru Kawagoe, the Japanese ambassador in Shanghai, thought more and more that something was wrong, so he hurriedly grabbed Taudman and asked him to help him find out the news.

Taudman was enthusiastic about mediating, and he still appreciated Japan's cooperation attitude.Naturally, he would help with this little favor. After inquiring about it, he himself was stunned, and exclaimed in disbelief: "God! The Chinese have already completed the manufacture of two battleships! Today, they are going to Shanghai to give the nationals Watching the ceremony!"

"Hey?! Battleship?! Impossible! How could they build it so fast! It must be fake news!"

Shigeru Kawagoe absolutely refused to believe this was true.What a joke, a battleship of 18 to [-] tons, even if it started construction on the day when the construction was announced the year before last, it would take about [-] months to complete the hull structure, which is still the level of top Japanese workers, Chinese people, let alone think about it !

After completing the main structure, it will take another 8 months to 1 year for drying, interior decoration and adjustment. It will take more than two and a half years at the fastest to actually go to the sea trial. It has only been one year and eight months. They can Done with the main structure!

The intelligence is unbelievable!Shigeru Kawagoe made such a judgment after urgently consulting a group of domestic naval experts.However, as long as Zhu Bin makes a fuss, he can't take it lightly. Since all countries are paying attention, he has to pay attention and go and have a look!

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, at ten o'clock in the morning, the banks of the Huangpu River in Shanghai were crowded with hundreds of thousands of citizens and foreigners from all over the world. Early followed the dignitaries and envoys to the special wharf of Gaochang Temple, waiting for the arrival of the critical moment.

At 101:[-], on all the commanding heights of Wusongkou and Wusong Town, the people watching through binoculars or with good eyes suddenly discovered that from the channel in the middle of the river, two heavy cruisers opened the way, and two majestic and huge warships Slowly approaching, colorful flags fluttered on the bridge and deck, and the bold line on the bow side outlined the striking hull number "[-]", which is Taishan!

"Come on! Come on! What a big boat!" The one with the binoculars couldn't help cheering first!

big!really big!It seems that the wide Huangpu River can’t hold it. The huge gun barrel raised high can be seen clearly from a long distance. It seems to be thicker than the people standing next to it. , the so-called large ship directly under the training fleet of the Military and Political Department.It's like a little brother, out of proportion!

The waterway of the Huangpu River began to be dredged as early as the announcement of the construction of battleships. The central waterway was cleared with sand dredgers all the way to Gaochang Temple. From the original average water depth of one meter, it was pushed to at least 15 meters, and the deepest Lujiazui was 25 meters wide. Only in this way can a battleship with a draft of more than 9 meters be able to enter and exit slowly.

At the beginning, many people questioned this, and now they find out.That spent tens of millions of dollars dredging and dredging was by no means useless. The appearance of today's giant ship is enough to fill all expectations!

near!near!The heavy cruiser sailed past proudly, and the first giant ship arrived in front of us!The huge hull with a length of 230 meters is like a majestic body like a hill, so that people on both sides of the strait can only look up. After the gun cover is lifted, the triple-mounted 406mm cannon is revealed.Pointing at the sky obliquely, exuding infinite majesty and evil spirit, the officers and soldiers in white navy uniforms lined up on both sides of the deck seemed to be integrated with the dense jungle turret, pushing away the fog on the Huangpu River with a mighty momentum, Show your fangs to the world!

"Okay! We also have battleships!"

Hundreds of thousands of people shouted like thunder.The turbulent river surface was rippling endlessly, the densely packed arms were raised up and waved vigorously, and countless fireworks "bang" flew into the air and exploded colorfully, which was more intense and dense than last night's celebration fireworks.

excited!Excited!The blood is surging!

Shanghai has gathered the largest number of chemical elites and people of insight in the country, whether they are celebrities, gentry or comprador wealth owners.It is clear in their bones that without the backing of a powerful country, they can only be second-class citizens under foreigners at any time, even on their own land, no exception!

It doesn't matter which great power comes to be a protectorate.No matter who has the final say here, as long as he is a younger brother and a dog leg, he will never be able to get ahead in his life. The country can only be reduced to their colony, a place for dumping goods, a place for plundering resources, and a place for exporting cheap labor.Sweatshops, imbecile servants.Just like the Indian Asan who has followed the British all over the world, no matter how decently he dresses, he will always be a dog leg listening to others, a servant!

If you want to stand upright and be a man, you have to show your blood and courage, create your own peaceful land, and use your courage to prove to the world that our independence is not enough, as Zhu Bin strongly advocated more than a month ago. Those who are threatened and controlled by any person or force, if the people of the country want to be self-reliant, they must have a strong national defense force!

Today, the representative of a big country that can really rise is the battleship, an advanced battleship made by itself!The huge body like that mountain, the huge main cannon that can smash everything, represents the enterprising heart and indomitable meaning of a country and nation, and it is also a strong signal of openly proclaiming challenges and provocations to traditional powers and invaders!

Patriots like to see this scene the most. Even compradors who sell the interests of the country know that only a strong country has enough benefits for them to buy and sell. Bigger and fiercer!

Chinese people, starting from today, we must have our own active voice, use force to fight for the status and treatment we deserve, rise again, and be proud of the world!

"Chinese people, here we come!"

The representatives of the great powers, the observation team, and the military attache all expressed similar emotions.People who know the cause and effect are even more worried. All their judgments about the country are all wrong!

In the past, when Zhu Bin leaked the news through the Germans that he was going to build his own battleships, there were not many of them. They were all superficially serious, and used this as an excuse to expand the navy and build more battleships. In private, he didn’t think that the Chinese people With the ability to design and manufacture this kind of super gadget that brings together the strongest technology in the human machinery industry, how many Chinese people have actually seen the blueprints of battleships?Even the real guy is only the old "Florida" in the United States?

Not to mention, they couldn't make all kinds of special alloys, armor plates, main guns and power systems that are very difficult to manufacture, and even blades with a diameter of seven meters?So what if there are Germans to help?It takes five years to purchase and assemble parts from all over the world, from design to production?Or ten years?

No one thought that the country could wait until that day, because Japan himself would not allow it. A war would ruin all good plans, and no one was optimistic about it.And the large-scale orders waiting for various countries did not appear. Privately, they thought that this was just a cover, and it was just empty guns.

But what I never imagined is that just today, right now, under our noses, only 18 months have passed, two legendary battleships have sailed to the public, what does this mean?What the Chinese say is true, their declarations are not bragging, they even hide their strength!

As Shigeru Kawagoe exclaimed, the first feeling of observers from various countries was, "Impossible!"

Even if the people of the country have already stolen the technology of other countries, the battleship construction technology is not for sale, and they can't design it. This is not something that can be learned after three or two years. Not a [-]-ton cruiser, but a [-]-[-]-ton steel monster!If the material is not strong enough, you can crush your own keel!

But the facts are right in front of you, how to explain?Could it be that these two guys are fakes? !Is it just a shoddy product welded with ordinary steel plates?A river gunboat posing as a fake?

It’s possible for an inland river gunboat to weld the turret on such a large freighter. Anyway, no one will feel bad if the guns fall apart after a few shots. The huge muzzle is said to be 406mm, so it must be a fake with reduced charge?Otherwise, how did they make it?Even the United States is very difficult!

As if in response to all doubts, when the warship was turning from Jiangxinsha, the turrets of the 101 ship suddenly turned and pointed at the sky at the maximum elevation angle. For the care and love of the dispatched fleet, we fired a salute to show our heart! Please pay attention to the sound and vibration!"

"It's about to fire! Good guy, this is going to be a demonstration!"

Those who understand the matter will immediately understand that salutes under normal circumstances only need ordinary small cannons, but this time they actually use the main guns of battleships to work, the purpose must be impure!

Hundreds of thousands of people waited anxiously within 10 minutes of shouting at the front and rear ships with all kinds of thoughts. On the one hand, they were worried that this guy would not be able to hit it, and on the other hand, they were also worried that they would hit it wrong--- When such a big cannonball hits it, even if it is carved in wood, everyone will die!

"Boom!" The flag on the top of the tall bridge was waved, and the main guns of the 101 ship gate fired a dazzling flame. Even if one-third of the simple propellant was used, the firework shells were light and fluffy. , The recoil still caused the battleship to move several meters laterally!

The shells as thick as water barrels roared thousands of meters into the air, "booming" and exploded in colorful splendor, and a cloud spread several miles in diameter, blooming more enthusiastically than the sun! (to be continued) rq! ! !
