The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

Ouyang Ge's heart was hot and unstoppable. He knew very well that the meaning of the chairman's question was that he decided to start rectifying the navy, especially the training fleet that was inclined to be loyal to himself. Big picture!

That means that originally two or three big cats and kittens, using the old warship thrown out by Zhu Bin as a baby, this awkward little role sandwiched between the Ministry of the Navy and the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs, will officially embark on the stage. The reception is up!

And he, Ouyang Ge, was an outsider who couldn't enter the Fujian Navy, had no other backing, and could only be loyal to the chairman. From the small Jiangyin Thunder School, he became a major general who couldn't pass the level of Chen Shaokuan. Now, as a vice admiral, he is leading a powerful fleet and has entered the ranks of the highest military force in the country!

Feel elated, all hardships come!

All of a sudden, Ouyangge had mixed feelings in his heart. He only felt that so many years of hard work had finally paid off!

Lao Jiang refused to talk too much, nodded approvingly, and suddenly sighed quietly: "Nowadays, the country has achieved a rare unity. Regardless of the military and government, it needs to be coordinated from top to bottom, so as not to cause many complications. It is even more powerful. The army threatens you face to face day and night, as the screen of the country, you should not take it lightly and slack off military affairs!"

"Yes! The humble staff (students) must remember the teachings of the chairman (principal) and never relax for a moment!"

A few people answered crisply and neatly, as if they had really provoked the world's heavy burden.

Lao Jiang didn't look at them, and continued: "The area in northern Jiangsu has not been very peaceful recently, and some people can't keep their feet. They think there is an opportunity to take advantage of it, and they have to probe their brains. Cixiu, you have to be more careful and talk to Shoushan (Hu Zongnan) and the others when you have time. Communicate more, come up with a charter, and make sure not to make the situation worse. The troops have been trained, and they should be pulled out to exercise."

"Yes!" Chen Cheng immediately heard the voice behind it, there are some people and the like, they are nothing more than the Red Party from northern Shaanxi yelling to go north to fight against Japan.Another one is to prevent Zhu Bin from coming out of Shandong and Henan.

In the past two years, Zhu Bin and Shang Zhen have infiltrated very well. The industrial and commercial circles and big landlords in the entire northern Jiangsu and Henan areas have been attracted by the endless investment and high-yield crops.People's hearts are against each other, and they are less and less under the control of the central yang. In this regard, the party staff stationed in the local area have issued warnings many times. Lao Jiang devoted himself to preparing for the southeast to defend against the Japanese, and deployed hundreds of thousands of direct troops in the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai areas to strictly guard against Stick to it, don't care about it.

Now, the Japanese navy has dealt a serious blow, and its ability and strength to launch attacks on the southeast have been greatly reduced, and it can finally spare some manpower.The activity is active.

Lao Jiang said to Ouyang Ge: "The navy is always on the outside. You can't just hang around at the door of your house. When the time is right, you have to go out for inspections. After all, our country has a vast sea and territory. Sooner or later, you will have to defend against the enemy outside the door .”

"I understand the humble job." Ouyang Ge replied solemnly.

In the past, the training fleet did not dare to go out, for no other reason than fear.A total of so little strength, but also very unfamiliar, hastily went out to sea.If Ri himself accidentally "scratches" twice, it will be gone, and there will be no place to cry.It's all right now, the little devil's main fleet has been greatly damaged. In a short period of time, I'm afraid he won't be able to send a strong lineup to the coast. Just the shabby third fleet, Ouyangge is very confident now, and he is not afraid of them.

Anyway, at present he also has an aircraft carrier capable of taking off 50 fighter planes, and a battleship with 10 305mm main guns.Furthermore, many cutting-edge destroyers and cruisers, as well as hundreds of land aviation fighters, together, are also a powerful force.

Well, it's time to pull out to give the chairman a strong reputation, and we can't just look at Zhu Bin and Chen Shaokuan and the others.

But thinking about the huge gap between them, Ouyang Ge still felt unwilling and helpless.No matter how hard the chairman works, it is impossible to allocate hundreds of millions of dollars to support a few powerful new battleships.According to Jiangnan Shipyard's quotation, the cost of a "Taishan-class battleship" is at least 8000 million U.S. dollars, and the version with reduced high-strength armor is also 6500 million U.S. dollars, equivalent to legal currency, at least 2 million U.S. dollars... zhong yang How much is the total military expenditure?

Thanks to Zhu Bin, central government's fiscal revenue has doubled year after year, and military expenditures are abundant, but first of all, the army and navy must be satisfied.Not to mention battleships, even heavy cruisers can't afford to build one for at least 1000 million US dollars!

It seems that a [-]-ton aircraft carrier is cheaper, simpler, and not much more expensive than an armed freighter. It can be stopped with a few million dollars. Perhaps, you can apply for a few more ships?Coupled with four to five thousand tons of light cruisers, it is enough.

Lao Jiang just expressed his attitude. Of course, they should do the specific work. He waved his hand immediately: "Go and draw up the detailed rules and regulations for the next step. The Ministry of Military Affairs and the Military Commission will discuss it together at that time."

Chen Cheng and Ouyang Ge got the general order, and went back to work with satisfaction in their hearts.

After Lao Jiang sank, he called He Yingqin. The content was not much, but he said meaningfully: "The world's military forms are changing, and some related systems established in the old days of our country also need to adapt to the trend. Recently, I visited the United States. National defense construction is very desirable, and the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs and the Military Commission should consider it.”

He Yingqin was confused at first, but he knew that what Lao Jiang said must mean something.Thinking of the naval turmoil that just happened, he immediately understood who it was targeting.He hurriedly ordered people to obtain a bunch of military construction materials of the US Department of Defense and stepped up analysis and reading, and then suddenly realized that Lao Jiang is going to attack the Ministry of the Navy!

The Ministry of the Navy has always been a unit with a very high position, because it has played a key role in the process of Sun Dapao and Lao Jiang's achievements many times from the beginning, and also played the role of a large group of major revolutionary figures who are deeply influenced by Japanese military ideology , and continued the construction of several generations since the end of the Qing Dynasty, so although after several iterations, the second Northern Expedition was successful and the central yang navy was established, forming the current pattern.

On the surface, it belongs to the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs, but it has a huge establishment and a self-contained system. Lao Jiang can't control it with his hands, so he additionally created Jiangyin Thunder and Xiangshan Naval Academy.and the name of the training fleet.But if the name is not correct, the words are not going well. Even if the money is not given, the Admiralty is still struggling to support it, and because of Zhu Bin's relationship, it is getting more and more nourishing.

This made Lao Jiang very dissatisfied, but he hadn't had a chance to clean up. After all, the Zhongyang Navy and Zhu Bin's task force had always been out of gregarious.Keep divisive conflicts, he is happy to watch.

But it's different now because of Chen Shaokuan's relationship.The two sides are going to be twisted together, and Zhu Bin's own system is strong, and he is no longer afraid of the influence and penetration of the Fujian faction.The strength accumulated by the central yang navy over the years will soon become a huge arm for his expansion, even if those broken ships are not needed, as long as the officers who have studied abroad and trained a little, their size will at least double!

The huge and well-organized Admiralty is about to lose its tail!At that time, they will imitate the Japanese navy's demand for a higher position of power, directly bypass the military and political department and enter the central government, and use the military to assist politics.It is not impossible to call the wind and rain in the Military Commission!

The result is terrible!He Yingqin didn't expect that after Lao Jiang's reminder, he was in a cold sweat!He suddenly recalled why Zhu Bin has been unwilling to enter politics.From the beginning to the end, even if he gave up his rights, he still had to keep the establishment of the task force, and squat on the rank of a mere major general without moving his nest. Maybe he was waiting for this day!

There are not many generals in the navy, and the fingers are not enough for two hands.Lieutenant generals, just a few people, and major generals are extremely rare. With such a merger, the young and inconspicuous him will immediately become a solid power in the middle. When the time comes, he will directly lead the Ministry of the Navy. God knows how much trouble it will cause!

Admiralty, can't stay!

Ouyang Ge's little foundation was not enough to take on the big responsibility, He Yingqin followed Lao Jiang's reminder, and when he turned a corner, he was inspired, the US Navy Command!

Almost overnight, a rough framework was pulled out, and then a bill drafted by its hardcore subordinates was submitted, "Please Discuss the Training of the Military and Political Department".

The content is very simple. As an important unit under the Central Military Commission and the Executive Yuan, the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs has gradually failed to meet the needs of military work for a long time, and the decision-making efficiency is inevitably low.It is too bloated, and it should be improved according to the trend of military reform in the world.

Cancel the complicated establishment of the Ministry of the Navy, the Ministry of the Army, and the Ministry of the Air Force. According to the needs of unified command and coordination in wartime, the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs shall be vertically managed under the Military Commission, and the General Command of the Three Armed Forces shall be established. The original "Ministry" has a nominal unit size, organically deploys various resources, especially the ordnance, training and other departments directly under the central yang, and enables coordination between the upper and lower levels, like arms and fingers, in order to be able to respond to the rapidly changing needs of the battle situation.

It is very simple, and it is very suitable for the needs of military conflicts that may erupt at the moment. It is more in line with Lao Jiang's possible opportunity to kick off the Executive Yuan led by Wang Jingwei by taking advantage of the possible opportunity of a full-scale war between China and Japan. From the Military Commission and the Ministry of Military Affairs to every military unit, the cross-management of the Executive Yuan is hindered, so get out of the way.

If it is really done according to American standards, not to mention whether it is appropriate or not, then according to China's national conditions, it is not as rich and powerful as the Americans. It seems that it is more convenient to integrate the various forces that were originally scattered so that the sea, land and air forces can cooperate with each other and share resources. Efficient and more practical.

But actually?In terms of military strength, judging by the number of people, the army is undoubtedly the largest. The central yang army alone is almost 100 million, and with the addition of about 200 million motley troops, it seems to be the strongest.But if you look carefully at the assets of each company, you will find that in addition to the small number of people and only one division in the Marine Corps, Zhu Bin's naval aviation alone is more than five times larger than the Central Air Force!That is from basic aircraft design, manufacturing, pilot training, echelon construction, to the comprehensive transcendence of fighter formations!

Not to mention the navy, which also covers design, manufacturing, training, and military command, and the synthesis of multiple arms. In short, from the inside to the outside, from small soldiers to captains, from a screw to a huge power main engine, there is nothing that the Chinese army can do. In comparison, financial resources, manpower, and material resources are much larger.

Previously, the Ministry of the Navy was a private department, nominally under the administration of the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs, but under its own name, it had all the internal organs and everything, and it had become a self-sufficient and powerful group. From one corner to the core, the next step is to seek the influence of the military and political power, and he, Minister He, bears the brunt of it!

Really like the Japanese Army's Army Ministry\Staff Headquarters, and the Navy Ministry\Military Affairs Bureau, this structural model directly bypasses the Military and Political Department to influence national politics. The weight of power is ten times more!At that time, no one has the final say.Lu Jun, in any respect, can't beat Zhu Bin!

If he did that, where would Minister He go?The Ministry of Military and Political Affairs is a powerful institution with real power. If he leaves here, he will become a rootless weed, and basically have to stand aside!

So no need for Lao Jiang to say more, just a word, he volunteered to rush to the front desk, waved a kitchen knife and prepared to kill!

The reason is high-sounding, and those who don’t know it sounds like that, but those who play politics know that if it is true, the foundation that Zhu Bin has worked so hard for many years will soon fall apart!According to the national unified management system during the war, not to mention the factories and mines under his name, the technology and personnel of military production, shipbuilding, tanks, aircraft, and artillery have to be changed. The resources are unified and the personnel are unified. Division of labor, if you don't move your army, you can still be beaten to the ground!

When Zhu Bin saw the proposal that was immediately approved in the newspaper, he hissed with a toothache and gasped for breath, and admired sincerely: "Our leader is really talented! Such a complicated and ingenious method is easy to come by, and he doesn't even take it overnight. There is no way for anyone to object to it. Changing the brand lightly can remove our right-hand man and adjust the bone, which is cruel enough!"

Very vicious approach!If Zhu Bin dares to say that he can do better by himself, he is going against the general trend of the world. It is a petty disobedience to the unified orders of the central government. He will immediately change from a vanguard of anti-Japanese and a model of national self-improvement to a self-righteous, self-righteous, self-righteous, and self-proclaimed king. The head of the warlord's reputation has been greatly damaged!

Want to listen to them?That would be even worse, giving them the unified coordination of their own industries and institutions, what is the difference from meat buns beating dogs!

However, who made Zhu Bin have more capable people around him?Chen Shaokuan just glanced at it and understood it, and smiled easily: "They just want to use the Military Commission, the Military and Political Department, and the Resource Commission to join forces to annex and dismantle the Navy in the interests of the country. The method is not new. Regarding this, we Be mentally prepared. Naval Headquarters? Yes, but the specific construction items must be proposed by me, the former minister, which is justified!"

Immediately afterwards, Chen Shaokuan's proposal of "Please Build the General Command of the Chinese Navy" was submitted.When Lao Jiang and He Yingqin saw it, they immediately stared: "This must be carried out according to Chen Shaokuan's intention. Not only has the Ministry of the Navy not shrunk, but it has become bigger and bigger!" (To be continued) rq
