"The performance of Wang Yuanyue's troops on the battlefield exceeded everyone's expectations. According to the current situation, it is difficult for the Beiyang side to stop Wang Hengyue!"

Shiguchi Jiuhiro's face was solemn and worried: "The empire has invested a lot of human and financial resources in the Beiyang government. Once it fails, the entire empire's interests in China will be greatly damaged. After Sun Wen stepped down, the southern government has been completely controlled by

What’s unpleasant about Wang 1 Heng Yue’s Huli is that he is a complete anti-imperialist!”

Lu Xiong of Yanzhidao, who has dealt with Wang Hengyue for many years, is the one who is least willing to see Wang Hengyue complete the great cause of unification by force: "Your Excellency, Consul General, from the intelligence analysis, Beiyang is not the opponent of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and it is even more terrifying.

Yes, Wang Hengyue seems to have many new weapons that have not appeared on the battlefield, but our intelligence system in the south has been greatly damaged, so we cannot get all the information about the south."

"Have you got any plans?" Pikou Jiuhong asked indifferently.

"Yes, we have formulated a 'net plan'." Lu Xiong of Yanzhidao blurted out: "The only way to stop Wang Hengyue at the moment is to assassinate him. As long as the assassination is successful, the southern government will appear

Chaos, his Northern Expedition will also be stopped because of this, but the most critical part of the entire plan is how to transfer Yu Lei, director of the China Bureau of Statistics, from Wang Hengyue. This person is too great a threat to us."

Fukou Jiuhong glanced at him: "Do you want to assassinate Yu Lei as well? Since he was assassinated last time, we have strengthened our defenses. Besides, if he is assassinated first, it will definitely arouse Wang Hengyue's vigilance."

"No!" Lu Xiong of Yanzhidao shook his head: "What we have to do is to transfer Yu Lei away from Wang Hengyue..."

Longkou Jiuhong pondered there for a long time: "Jun Yanzhidao, just go ahead and do it. Don't fail this time. The empire's interests in China must be protected to the greatest extent. Wang Hengyue must not let him get it.

The whole of China. Otherwise I have a hunch that this will be a very terrible thing."

"Hai!"

"Chen Shaokuan, Chen Houfu!"

Wang Hengyue laughed and walked towards Chen Shaokuan and shook hands with him: "My Captain Chen, it's really not easy to invite you here. Come on, please sit down."

Chen Shaokuan smiled bitterly: "President, you are not inviting me here, it is simply kidnapping. First use warships to control my ship, and then send people to take me to Guangzhou.

"Houfu, you really can't blame me for this." Wang Hengyue said with a smile: "The Beiyang government has gone crazy and sent you a small training ship to support Fujian. To put it bluntly, no matter how weak our guardian fleet is,

It’s okay to attack a training ship of yours, right? I’m afraid that my navy will hurt you, so I can’t do that!”

Chen Shaokuan also knew that Wang Yi Hengyue did not want to hurt him, but just wanted to use him for his own purposes, so he was not too worried: "The Beijing government really has no choice. You have more than half of the fleet, and the rest will be taken over."

Sent to the Sino-Russian border, Fujian is calling for reinforcements every day, but where are the reinforcements? The arrival of my 'Tongji' in Fujian is more of a symbolic meaning."

"Unification is a matter of time. Sooner or later, you, Chen Houfu, will have to fight for me." Hengyue said confidently: "Since doing it early and doing it late are all done, it's better to do it sooner. I've invited you here for this purpose. I'm afraid."

After the reunification was completed, you, Chen Houfu, left in anger because you didn't know what was going on. By then it would be too late to invite you out."

Chen Shaokuan had a great liking for Wang Hengyue. This man didn't hide anything when he spoke. He said whatever he thought.

I had heard before that the southern president loves talents as much as his life. Anyone with some talents would like to be under his command immediately, and it turned out to be true at first sight.

"I have read several of your books, and they are very good." Cheng Biguan, the chief of the navy who accompanied him, said: "Our navy lacks talents. Brother Houfu has traveled in Europe and the United States and has extraordinary experience. On the ship

Being able to share joys and sorrows with the soldiers on the ship is exactly what we need most, Houfu, don't hesitate anymore."

Chen Shaokuan thought about it for a moment: "I wonder what the President and Director Cheng have planned for the future development of the Chinese Navy?"

Wang Hengyue was not in a hurry to answer, but asked: "What do you think?"

"Big ships are just big guns. If you want to win a naval battle, you must have a battleship with a larger tonnage than the opponent, carry more artillery, and have artillery with a larger caliber than the opponent. This is the only way to win the battle!" Suo Shaokuan

Smiling slightly, he said.

Cheng Biguang nodded frequently, but Wang Hengyue laughed in his heart.

You, Chen Shaokuan, just pretend and test me. Ever since you saw the aircraft carrier in the UK, you have concluded that this is the key to determining the outcome of future naval battles.

When the European and American powers were still skeptical about the role of aircraft carriers in naval warfare, you had the idea of ​​building Chinese aircraft carriers. Otherwise, how could you propose China's jaw-dropping huge plan to build 2 aircraft carriers in the future! Cheng Biguang is

A veteran Chinese naval general, his defeat in the First Sino-Japanese War, the Japanese-Russian Battle of Tsushima, and the Battle of Jutland convinced him of the doctrine of big ships and big guns. In this regard, he is not as good as Chen Shaokuan.

Wang Hengyue thought of this and smiled and said: "I think big ships and big guns will be eliminated sooner or later. The development of aircraft carriers will be the mainstream of the future navy."

Cheng Biguang shook his head slightly. He didn't know why the president was so interested in aircraft carriers and submarines. Almost all the manpower and material resources for the development of the navy were tilted in this direction. Especially after the president entered Guangzhou, he invested huge sums of money like a maniac.

To develop these two things, he also purchased a merchant ship and converted it into an aircraft carrier. He has repeatedly proposed to buy or build a batch of giant battleships, but the president has been perfunctory with various excuses.

Chen Shaokuan's eyes lit up.

In Europe and the United States, although aircraft carriers have been launched, they have not received the attention of the navies of various countries, let alone at home. But now the president in front of him has decisively proposed that aircraft carriers are the mainstream of future naval development.

, this is not only surprising, but also a little strange.

The President is from the Army, so how come he is so familiar with the importance of the Navy? The term "aircraft carrier" was only introduced last year. Before, it was always called "Seaplane Carrier". Why did the President, who has been in China, call this name all of a sudden?

call?

Chen Shaokuan decided to test it again: "I'm afraid the President is exaggerating." "Brother Houfu." Wang Hengyue said with a solemn expression: "Actually, you know better than me. Since the 'Fury' and the 'Hundred-Eyed Giant' have been launched one after another,

After the advent of the aircraft carrier, the development of aircraft carriers was rapid. After the British Navy completed the modification of the "Arena", it also added the "Engadan", "Queen", "Campania", "Brave"

Large warships such as the HMS Glory and the HMS Glory were converted into seaplane carriers. The British converted a total of fifteen seaplane carriers. During the Battle of the Dardanelles, a British seaplane was ordered to leave the mothership and attack.

The 5,000-ton Turkish warship was sunk. Before the end of the European War, seven carrier-based aircraft taking off from the Fury bombed the German air base, which already demonstrated the huge combat capabilities of the aircraft carrier.

Cheng Biguang and Chen Shaokuan listened very carefully.

Wang Hengyue was silent for a while: "China's navy lags far behind the great powers, and it is too difficult to catch up. Others use it one day at a time, and we have to use it ten days a day. But this ship is easy to build, so what about the combat quality of the navy? I

It has been repeatedly said that becoming a maritime power does not depend on how many battleships it has, but must rely on the efforts of several generations. But what should we do once a naval battle comes early? There is no other way but to win. What's the surprise?

One is on the submarine and the other is on the aircraft carrier!"

Chen Shaokuan almost stood up.

This is exactly what I think. If the Chinese navy wants to become strong in a short period of time and compete with the great powers with big ships and cannons, it may not be able to catch up in another twenty years.

But in China, how can I express my inner thoughts?

But fortunately, the southern president coincided with him and set his sights on submarines and aircraft carriers.

Seeing Chen Shaokuan's look, Cheng Biguang smiled, and there was some reluctance in his words: "Houfu, you don't know that. This time the president was cruel and allocated a huge sum of 100 million to develop the navy.

Most of them have been put on submarines and aircraft carriers, but the battleship manufacturing and purchase plan I formulated has been delayed again and again by the president!"

"Really? One hundred million?" Chen Shaokuan's eyes glowed with blazing light.

"Really, 100 million!" Wang Hengyue nodded affirmatively: "I got a few huge sums of money and invested the money first in the navy. Director Cheng had a big opinion. We built the first aircraft carrier that was transformed from a merchant ship.

The 'Development' has been completed and successfully conducted sea trials and test flights, so the next step is to continue to expand this naval plan!"

Seeing the flame in Chen Shaokuan's eyes getting stronger and stronger, Wang Hengyue added another flame to it: "But after all, it was transformed from a merchant ship, and it is not an aircraft carrier in the true sense. At best, it can only allow aircraft to fly on it.

It’s just taking off and landing. So, the next step is for me to carry out a huge plan, which is entirely a naval plan, the ‘Dragon Plan’!”

The dragon's plan is to make a Chinese dragon soar on the sea! Sooner or later, China will become a naval power. Although it will take countless efforts to reach this day, no matter what efforts it takes to achieve this goal, it will be

worth it!

Finally, Chen Shaokuan could no longer hold back: "President, does your navy still have a place? Although Chen Shaokuan has no ability, he is still willing to work hard for the president's dragon plan and work hard for our dream of a Chinese navy."
