Chapter 744: Chen Tianhua's Navy Dream
Chen Tianhua waved his hand and motioned for the other party to sit down, "General Yu, there is no need to be formal. The task of Master Xu tonight is to serve the two of us with wine. If you stand up like this every time you pour wine, then the wine is still drinkable."
What fun is there? How can you and I talk happily?!"
Even so, Yu Dapeng felt a wry smile in his heart.
Although he had relatively little information about Xu Yunyuan's status and power, he knew the main details. How dare he ask her to pour wine!
But since the general has already spoken, it would be inappropriate to stand up and apologize later. It would be disrespectful to disrespect the general. This is the most taboo thing in the workplace.
Such a dilemma made his heart feel like a dozen buckets of water, filled with uneasiness.
"Whoever controls the ocean in the future will be able to dominate and own the world!" Chen Tianhua didn't care about these trivial matters. He was in high spirits tonight, raised his glass to Yu Dapeng, and said with great pride:
"My lifelong wish is to build a powerful ocean-going fleet that can sail across all oceans. You, General Yu, will be the first commander of this fleet. So, can you help me realize my dream?"
As a naval general, it is of course his lifelong dream to own a powerful fleet, cross the vast sea, and conquer the endless ocean.
Of course, as for what Chen Tianhua said, whoever controls the ocean will own the world, he has not yet had such vision and understanding, and it is difficult to imagine and describe it.
In his understanding, nowadays, the decisive battles are still fought on land, and the navy is only used as an auxiliary force. But any naval general does not want to take the navy seriously?
This means having countless ships and countless sailors!
"How dare I not try my best if I am so valued by the general? I will do my best to serve the general!" Yu Dapeng swore, covering his chest with his right hand.
Chen Tianhua knew in his heart that Yu Dapeng could not understand what he said yet. Also, no one in this era would understand the importance of the ocean. Only he, a person from later generations, would know this.
But having a powerful navy will be important in this world, and Yu Dapeng knows this.
"Does General Yu know what's going on at the Haiwankou Shipyard?"
"The final general is not clear." Yu Dapeng was stunned. This shipyard was funded by the Ministry of Industry of the Qing Dynasty many years ago. It is one of the large shipyards in Jiangnan. Unfortunately, the officialdom was corrupt and the court had no money to invest. In the first two years,
It went bankrupt.
"This shipyard is now a government-controlled commercial office. The Ministry of Industry is controlled by me, the minister, and the investor is Fengzhong Group. From now on, this shipyard is yours. Starting tomorrow, the governor wants you to reorganize
At the same time as the navy, we will supervise the Haiwankou Shipyard. The governor will transfer some skilled craftsmen from the Taihu Shipyard. We will then hire experts from overseas, as well as overseas students in shipbuilding. They will be hired with high salaries. In one year, we will be able to build at least 4,000 tons of ships.
The warship comes out."
"Build it yourself, so urgent?" Yu Dapeng couldn't help being surprised after hearing this. This means that Chen Tianhua will definitely make major moves at sea in the next two or three years.
After all, Yu Dapeng is an expert. He guessed well. Chen Tianhua hopes to make full use of Taihu Shipyard and Haiwankou Shipyard within three years to jointly build an independently created East China Sea Fleet to compete with domestic and foreign forces.
He hoped that Chen Tianhua, who had traveled through time, could help the Chinese nation to rise, avoid the abominable warlord separatism and melee in history, and build a country with strong national defense capabilities.
"It is indeed a bit urgent, so I will delegate all the power of the navy to you, and equip you with enough assistants to give you absolute power to build ships, train troops, etc. I want you to do it within half a year.
Complete all the preparations. Within three years, if you ask for people, I will give you money. In short, you will see initial results in one year and great results in three years. After three years, I will see a powerful East China Sea Fleet.
, can you complete it!"
Looking at Chen Tianhua's sharp gaze, Yu Dapeng was so frightened that all the hairs on his body stood up. He stood up and said loudly:
"The last general will definitely be able to complete the mission! However, the last general is still nominally under the Chongming Navy. How could Nazan not know about such a big move?"
Chen Tianhua smiled secretly and said: "You don't have to worry about this. There are still one month and seven days until the Chinese New Year, but Nazan doesn't want to spend this year! You go ahead and prepare. For such a large project, the early stage
The preparation work is also very extensive.”
"General, I obey your order!" Yu Dapeng clasped his fists and bowed his head, accepting the order.
But I don’t know what the general meant when he said, “Don’t even think about spending this year through this year.”
Is it the admiral of Chongming Navy who dismissed Nazan before the end of the year?
The possibility of this is almost impossible. His backer Zaifeng is now the regent, and he may be reused. How can he be evacuated from the Chongming Navy?
There is another way, that is...Yu Dapeng doesn't dare to think about it anymore.
…
"For the safety of the general, our Zhejiang New Army has worked hard and worked hard. Even the Li Mansion in Hangzhou is always concerned about it. They call almost every day to inquire. The subordinates also hope that the general will take care of himself.
We must not be paralyzed if we have a rich body. We all do not want something like the day before yesterday to secretly go to Chongming with a few cavalry."
At the joint military and political meeting in Meiguang New City, Li Xinghong fired the first shot and put forward sharp opinions to Chen Tianhua, which was unanimously approved by almost everyone present. Everyone looked at the Lord with bright eyes.
Chen Tianhua coughed in embarrassment and thought to himself, Li Xinghong was anxious to convene a joint military and political meeting as soon as he arrived today. He thought he had some important matters that needed to be discussed publicly, but he didn't expect that the root was buried here!
He stabilized his emotions and said:
"This time the governor went to Chongming, mainly to see Yu Dapeng. This is a serious matter and a big deal. Besides, I have brought enough personal guards and the military coordination office to make arrangements all the way. It was Gu Zhunian who entered Chongming.
The task force is responding, what can happen?"
Li Xinghong snorted and said in a deep voice:
"General, when you leave Meiguang New City, you have to give a few words to us first, but you just left a letter for me and went back to look for the missing figure. Besides, it's not that my subordinates don't believe in the Military Coordination Office. Shadow
The expansion is too fast, it's a complete mix of good and bad, including murderers, arsonists and thieves. If you accidentally expose it,
If the news is known by someone who is interested, it will be a big deal. Besides, if you want to see Yu Dapeng, you can secretly summon him to Meiguang New City, or you can send the Chief of Staff to him. Isn't he just a surrendered general?
Even if you want to show your thirst for talents and respect for him, you don't have to go to this dangerous place in person."
"Well..."
Chen Tianhua knew that what Li Xinghong said was not unreasonable, but only he knew his true thoughts. He was too eager to have a powerful naval force.
