When the north was cold and cold, Xu Shoushan, the chief of the Military and Political Department, appeared at Yingkou Port with a group of staff and generals. After taking the train for most of the day, he squatted for the military car for a whole day and then arrived at the Northern Military Region Command in Liaoyang City.￠￡

When Qin Kai saw this guy, he immediately understood his purpose. It was obvious that the movements in Europe had made these naval masters unable to sit still. Even if he made a series of situation assessments before and made a clear statement that he would fully promote the national economy for several years, it would not be able to dispel the worries of these generals - after all, be prepared for danger in times of peace, which is definitely a quality that these soldiers who came out of the war must possess.

"Yushan, you're still worried about the situation in Europe..." Qin Kai laughed and called the general into the warm barracks of the headquarters. Although the high-powered military vehicles have already entered the army, sitting in a military vehicle wrapped in canvas at a temperature of more than minus 20 degrees Celsius is definitely not a good job.

Xu Shoushan gave Qin Kai a standard military salute and immediately got into the house without hesitation. When he got inside, the decorations inside the house were completely beyond his expectations. In addition to a map of Greater China, Qin Kai's favorite global situation map in the Prime Minister's Office was gone, and the map was no longer marked with troops and fleets, but densely packed with various color patterns.

"Chairman!" After taking a cup of hot coffee handed over by Qin Kai, he immediately warmed up after taking a few sips. Now Qin Kai has stepped down as prime minister and has not held any actual government position besides the leader of the Fuxing Party. Therefore, Xu Shoushan can only speak with this title, "I am not worried about the situation in Europe. But I am worried that our naval construction will not keep up with the competitive situation in Europe. Once a war breaks out, temporary ship rebuilding may not be a good idea!"

Qin Kai nodded. As a general in charge of the highest authority in the country, he naturally needed to have such a sense of crisis, and he obviously would not pretend to be a charlatan who predicted the future. However, he was naturally prepared!

Several European situation prediction reports transferred by the Ministry of Military Affairs were taken out by Qin Kai and were still on the table. "Yu Shan. It seems that the staff officer has recently joined many young people with good consciousness. I see the report of Major Wu Peifu's staff officer very interesting. I basically agree with his point of view. In terms of the army, our main enemy in the future will probably be the Russians in the northeast!"

Xu Shoushan smiled. He naturally knew that this major staff officer, who was a scholar, had already made his mark after only a few years. Although he was not from the army, this did not affect his eyesight... and the meaning of Qin Kai's report was obviously very clear. That is, he would not agree to the military's expansion plan for the time being!

But he obviously did not give up. He took off his military cap and scratched his head, stomped his steps back and forth, and had an idea again, "Chairman, I heard that our new high-speed battleship is being built. Can you configure some of the four major fleets first so that they can practice first... I am not afraid of ten thousand, but I am afraid of what if!"

High-speed battleships... Qin Kai naturally understood what Xu Shoushan said. Although the Navy's plan to install new warships was temporarily shelved, this did not affect the battleship development of the four major shipyards at all. The funds that the Ministry of Finance had not allocated, but the four major heavy industries in Mawei, Beihai, Jiangnan, and the north each had huge machinery industries, and almost showed their magical powers to carry out technological research and development.

After the USS Defence battleship entered the Northern Fleet for service and testing, the four major heavy industries immediately smelled the future of the navy. In addition to the overseas military orders they were building, they immediately colluded with each other. Then Mawei and Beihai, Jiangnan and North each launched plans for digital new warships, and began to build prototype ships at the Jiangnan Shipyard and Beihai Shipyard respectively.

The new warships of Jiangnan Shipyard are taking larger and stronger routines, while the super warships that are being built by Beihai Shipyard, which are larger and faster than the Fearless battleship, are taking another trick that is bigger and faster. In this regard, Qin Kai naturally did not consider too much interference in the past. The appearance of the Fearless ship has pointed out the future direction for the Navy. The rest should be completed by the designers of the shipyard with giant ships and cannons.

Of course, according to Qin Kai's historical plan for the development of the navy, this will be a new type of warship concept that combines speed, firepower and defense, which should actually be included in the category of super fearlessness. However, considering the current tonnage problem, it is really far from super fearlessness. The Chinese Navy's always paying attention to the concept of speed has caused unprecedented difficulties in design.

However, in the end, the fanatical designers led by Qingying in the Beihai Shipyard naturally fully learned from the advantages of the Fearless battleship, and extended the length of the warship to an unprecedented 170 meters, with an unprecedented displacement of 25,500 tons. Compared with the Fearless, it had more than 3,000 tons more tonnage. In addition to the necessary armor, almost all of them were all allocated to the boiler. Fearless installed 28 kerosene mixed fuel boilers produced by Jiangnan Heavy Industry, and the new warship will be increased to 40 in one fell swoop. For such a design, even Qin Kai can only give these guys from the shipyard - absurdity!

However, when the main gun caliber and armor have not made any breakthroughs, the biggest innovation of the new warship naturally comes from the power system. The 40 Jiangnan iii supercharged boilers have adopted cyclone burner technology and multi-pot drum technology for the first time. This not only has a surprising improvement in steam pressure, but more importantly, when using heavy oil fuel, it can quickly output the maximum warship power.

What Xu Shoushan said was naturally this new warship under secret construction. However, this type of Beihai-class test ship that had not yet been named, the initial estimated construction fee of 7 million yuan was enough to make the Ministry of Finance crazy. This is also an important reason why Xu Shoushan was coming to find Qin Kai. Without this big boss nodding, Tang Shaoyi would definitely try his best to deduct 10% of the military expenses, rather than sending millions!

Qin Kai had no idea of ​​giving Xu Shoushan a penny at all. The war in Europe was obviously impossible to start now. Now... Britain was not ready at all, even Germany and France had no intention of fighting. Although both of them wanted to fight with Britain for the interests of Africa and America, they had never considered sending fleets now.

Therefore, even though the British yelled loudly, in fact, it was just John Bull showing his muscles in Europe. The news from Chen Bo from London also confirmed the current embarrassment of the British. Given the huge profits of nearly 160 million pounds in the British Empire, the British are not enough to go bankrupt now. However, in fact, the current financial situation of the Belford Cabinet has reached the point of being crazy. Unless the British are crazy, they will definitely not start a huge maritime steel machine war without raising military expenses.

However, the report from Xu Shoushan brought about by a large number of staff members, the names of two young soldiers who graduated from the Nanyang Command College and entered the General Staff Department, surprised Qin Kai for a while... In the introduction of Ouyang Geng, the two officers who were known as the "New Nanyang Twins" had names familiar to Qin Kai - Cai E and Xu Shuzheng.

To be honest, the growth of the Nanyang Army has been relying on the group of officers who have grown up in the system. Thanks to the continuous training of external expansion, a large number of young soldiers have quickly grown into independent generals. However, although Qin Kai has a good idea for the entire country's industrial construction, he thinks of the upcoming world war pattern, and he is more looking forward to the country's emergence with more elites.

However, I don’t know if it’s because of the fact that he has changed too much or other reasons, most of the people have not been found in a list of secret investigations by Qin Kai through the Intelligence Department. This time, these two people appeared as "New Nanyang Twin Legends", which was quite surprising.

Of course, Qin Kai did not make any more statements except for leaving these reports from the Ministry of Military Affairs. After Xu Shoushan and his team of new military preparations for several days, he quietly issued an order to transfer Cai E to the commander of the 1st Regiment of the 17th Division of the Tangnu Wuliang Sea Corps in the Northern Xinjiang, and Xu Shuzheng to the commander of the 2nd Regiment of the 45th Division of the Xinjiang Corps. Nowadays, where people can be trained, the Northern and Western Xinjiang are undoubtedly a good place. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
