Chapter 31 Our Way
At Wusongkou Wharf, the whole street was filled with people and people rub shoulders. Countless people from all walks of life gathered here. They cheered happily, and many banners were flying all over the sky. The main men of the Iron Blood Military and Political Affairs headed by Deng Sen were waiting on the wharf.
"Hurry, all the crew members immediately sorted out their instruments and entered the Shanghai pier immediately. The head of state is watching us!" On the Taishan and all the other warships, all the officers and soldiers were busy sorting out their clothes. Even if there was a trace of wrinkles, they would be immediately smoothed. They all knew that Deng Sen was waiting for them personally.
At 10 o'clock in the morning on September 20, the East China Sea Fleet, which belonged to the "China Su'an and Anhui government, returned to sail, mainly the battle cruiser Taishan, and passed through the Yangtze River outside Wusongkou in turn. Only three cruisers, Taishan, Lingbi and Haidong, entered the Wusongkou wharf, but everyone was attracted by dozens of small warships that were passing by quickly and in a weird style.
"What is that?" Many foreign consuls asked. They just saw fast ships flying by on the river from afar. Obviously, those ships were not docked in the Shanghai Military Port.
"Play military music!" The three main battleships arrived, and the host immediately announced that the military music was rising. For a moment, the strong and strong Han style melody flew up. This is a military song and a party song. The iron-blooded revival of the party is borne by the nation. With this song, it will be recorded forever.
"Comrades! Now entering the port is the main battleship of our East China Sea Fleet. The battlecruiser Taishan, which has tonnage 17,000 tons, has brought us a brilliant victory. The two battleships behind are the Lingbi cruiser and the Haidong cruiser. They and the officers and soldiers above them have used their blood and sweat to tell those evil countries that want to interfere in our internal affairs and disrupt our country's order. Our dignity cannot be desecrated. After the Lingbi cruiser, it is the Mikasa battleship of the Japanese warship. He was the main battleship of the Japanese warship of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895. They used despicable sneak attacks to wipe out the Beiyang fleet! Now it has become our captive, let us cheer! Cheer this victory." The host stood on the podium, pointing to the three warships on the sea and the dilapidated battleship after the three warships.
"We really, really destroyed the fleet of Japanese slaves? We also captured one of their battleships?
The ancestors have spirits! The little Japanese pirates bullied our tribe repeatedly, and they finally get revenge today!" A white-haired old man looked at the sea with a rooster moving. They were all old men from the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, and there were even veterans from the Sino-Japanese War of 1895 in the crowd. How could he not move when he saw the situation at this time?
"Drop off the boat..." Walking the melody of military songs, all the officers and soldiers of the warships walked down from the warships, one by one, radiant and high-spirited.
"Crack...Crack..." Neat military boots trampled on the ground. The three main battleships had a total of 1,600 people, plus a torpedo boat officer, more than 2,000 people. They walked neatly, like a military parade, heading from the dock to Dunson. Behind them, there was a team of more than 300 prisoners of war. These were the officers and soldiers of the Japanese Mikasa battleship who were only about 1.6 meters and the Japanese sailors fished up in the water. They were dejected like defeated roosters, passing by the Chinese navy with a high momentum of more than 1.7 meters tall, making the contrast even stronger. For a moment, all the people advanced and felt the superiority of the winner.
"Report to the Head of State! The East China Sea Fleet has returned! The task assigned by the Head of State has been successfully completed, please give instructions." Chen Jiliang and a group of officers stood under Dengson's special car, standing upright, waiting for Dengson's instructions.
"Very good! Our great and brave soldiers! You have interpreted the backbone of the nation with your courage! On behalf of the nation and on behalf of the 400 million compatriots, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you! The glory of the Han nation is with you." Deng Sen stood on the special armored vehicle, stood straight, and said calmly to the naval officers and soldiers.
"To die for the Han Dynasty, to the great nation, long live the Han Dynasty... Long live the head of state..." The answer to Deng Sen was a series of loud slogans, and the officers and soldiers showed loyalty to the nation and worship of Deng Sen on their rooster faces.
"Yes! That's how it should be. My Jiangsu and Anhui Navy, like our army, will cut through the waves and create a strong future for the nation. But we should not forget that nineteen years ago, our nation was forcibly added to great shame by Japan. Although we defeated one of its fleet today, Japan's maritime power is still stronger than ours, but we are not afraid! Japan's country has a small population, and our vast land of China is vast and vast. As long as we firmly believe in it, in the near future.
We will be able to establish Asia again. My sea generals and future pioneers, do you have such confidence? My compatriots, do you still remember the prosperous Tang Dynasty and the great man?" Deng Sen spoke again after the officers cheered, clenched his fists and spoke with a chicken movingly. The loudspeaker spread his voice to everyone's ear armor. The last sentence made many people deaf. But no Han people didn't know the Han and Tang Dynasties, so people thought in an instant.
Deng Sen waited for a while, and then spoke again: "The glory of the past is worth remembering. The ancients often said that they hope that their son will become a dragon. Now our descendants should inherit the remnants of the Han and Tang dynasties. They survived the great changes of the past three thousand years and created another prosperous era. But how can they do this?"
Only…” No one could answer Deng Sen’s words, and no one could answer. What should we do in the current situation? No one could say well.
But others may not dare to say it or know it, but Deng Sen dares because he is the master here: "Under this situation, only one word or one sentence can determine the world."
"That is, the word "fight" and the sentence "Strive for strength, scientific and technological innovation, no contract without surrender, that's all. A country and a nation, as long as you dare to stand up your spine and dare to show your courage, even if the sharp blade in your hand is not good, even if your pocket is insufficient, then others will look up to you. Any protest and seek peace, and any power to protect oneself at the expense of the nation-state's interests are all paper tigers. I, the Iron Blood Bashang Party, must maintain this spirit of daring to fight and fighting to the death. Only in this way can we walk out of our path and the nation's path in the fog."
"Always follow the footsteps of the head of state, fight, fight to the death." This time, the cheers were even louder. Dengsen was already half the master of China. He dared to fight, what were the others afraid of? This is even more so for the common people. Dengsen created an environment for them to survive and they dared to follow Dengsen all the way to the black.
"Very good! I remember your promise, and at the same time I also initiated my oath. I, Dengsen, swear on behalf of the Iron Blood Party that I will not sell the interests of the motherland, nor record the compatriots and the people are not afraid of peace. At the same time, I also call on compatriots in China to start their own businesses as much as possible, and the government will support you. Our country is still too backward. We need more factories, we need more machinery, we need more ships, we need more guns, we need more soldiers, we need more talents. Among the compatriots present, there are many students you
We have a lot of passion, but your current mission is not to fight for the country, but to master knowledge. We need too much. We cannot create large-caliber artillery, we cannot create powerful warships, we cannot create precise instruments, we cannot create precise guns, we cannot create equipment and weapons that concern the fate of the country." Deng Sen said many needs and many things that could not be made. For a moment, the entire crowd was immersed in it. It was obvious that this problem was very heavy, and everyone felt that heavy pressure.
Deng Sen was also watching everyone, especially those students seemed to be thinking. What he wanted was the whole effect, so he continued to say: "So students, you must learn and master knowledge. Our country has many people. I believe that as long as you work hard, in the future, we will definitely have our own guns, warships, weapons and equipment. We no longer need to import those expensive goods, and we no longer have to watch our precious gold and silver flow overseas. Therefore, the nation needs you, the country needs you, and the government also needs you! Fellow compatriots, work together! The road of a country and a nation is not a matter of one person or a group of people, but a matter of the entire nation."
"Comrades, since our army launched its first anti-aggression war, I believe you have all felt the change. This is an upward mentality. Although we will face many difficulties in the victory of this naval battle, we must believe that as long as we persist, the nation will surely rise. Now let me cheer for the brave naval officers and soldiers! There is also the Japanese battleship, which will be docked permanently in Wusong Port and open to citizens for free!" In the end, like Japan after the Sino-Japanese War, Deng Sen placed the captured enemy warships as a symbol, which can be said to have avenged the revenge of the original arrow.
"Long live...Long live the Han people...Long live the head of state..." Cheers rose again, and everyone was boiling again. This was glory, and there was also a sense of pleasure of finally taking revenge.
The celebration parade in Shanghai continued, but Deng Sen took people secretly to Chongming Island. Because the Yangtze River guardrail was built on Chongming Island, it was also a fortification built immediately after Dun Sen occupied Shanghai. It was called Haimen fortification internally.
Haimen defense fortifications are composed of five shore defense fortifications, namely Fenshan shore defense artillery fortifications, Panshi shore defense artillery fortifications in Changxing Island, North Fort shore defense artillery fortifications in Chongming Island, Chongming Island shore defense artillery fortifications in Chongming Island, and Qidong Wan'an shore defense artillery fortifications. Five shore defense artillery deployed 124 large-caliber coast defense artillery and built a torpedo boat rapid response port base in order to control the estuary of the Yangtze River. If the Japanese attack this time, if they want to shell Shanghai, they must pass through here.
If they want to pass through here, they must solve the problem of two or three shore defense fortifications in the north. This is why Dunson is full of confidence. Today's overseas trade, in addition to the supplies to the East Indies and the transportation of noses, all other foreign merchant ships are foreign merchant ships. Even if their ships are besieged in the port, Dunson is not afraid, because Dunson is not in a hurry to be anxious. Without the huge market of "China", neither the United Kingdom nor the United States can sit still...
