Chapter 253 Temple Street II
"Brother Ji Liang, I have decided that if I can overcome this difficulty, I will stay in the Northeast Army in the future and missed the last chance. Otherwise, I can command such a big ship now." Yuan Jing looked at the warships in the distance and was excited, and looked at the Lisui, which had a displacement of only more than 170 tons under his feet. Compared with the large ships with more than 900 tons in front of the Jiangfang Fleet, he was so thin.
"Deputy Commander Ling, a warship came to Japan opposite!"
When Ling Xiao saw a Japanese ship hanging on the other side with a sun flag leaning towards him, he shrugged, "It seems that this battle is probably impossible. If you continue the order, be on guard and be on your own. You must not fire the gun first. If the enemy ship takes the lead in firing, you should fight back!"
"God General, please take your fleet out of Temple Street immediately." Japanese Consul Mazumi, the Consul in Temple Street, angrily boarded Ling Xiao's flagship. "The soldiers took obedience to orders as their duty, I was just ordered to act as the consul. If there is anything that needs to be protested, I'd better go to Fengtian to say." Ling Xiao said uneasy.
Although the tonnage of several new destroyers led by Japanese ships confronting along the river are slightly larger than Ling Xiao's flagship, they can enter Heilongjiang's "road is limited, and on this river, the Japanese ship's speed advantage cannot be used. If it is really started, Ling Xiao will not be afraid of it. Even if the dozen or so old Beirussian gunboats return, the Japanese army will have to pay a heavy price to defeat the Heilongjiang River Defense Fleet.
"Your Excellency General is really not afraid of fighting with my fleet of the Japanese Empire? 1 The black beard in the middle of Zhenquan's nose shook and said.
Ling Xiao said directly, "The order I received was to do whatever it takes. Now our fleet wants to pick up the Chinese soldiers from Miaojie to return to the northeast. Please ask your army to maintain restraint. If there is a fire in Miaojie, it will be bad."
"Baga, I will protest to Ye Xunyue." Zhenquan came and went in a hurry, a little furious.
"If the protest is useful, what else do the army do?" Ling Xiao snorted coldly as he looked at Zhenquan's back as he left.
"Deputy Commander Ling, the Japanese fleet is also here now, blocking in front. How can we pick up Chen Shiying and others?"
"Let Wang Yifan drive the warship over and pick up Chen Shiying and the others. If the Japanese ships don't let them go, they will hit me. As long as we don't fire first, our entire Jiangfang Fleet headquarters will come over. If Chen Shiying still dares not come out, there is no courage, and it is not worth Xing Shuai's determination to save Ling Xiaodao
"Yes, Deputy Commander!"
A gunboat with a slightly smaller tonnage passes through the Japanese army's blockade and directly contacts Chen Shiying.
The Japanese fleet was in a state of turmoil several times, but because the Heilongjiang River Defense Fleet was eyeing the side, the Beirus' gunboats were timid and evaded the telegrams sent by the Japanese just now. They were not sure of winning by receiving the war with the Heilongjiang River Defense Fleet. They could only watch Wang Yifan and Chen Shiying and Wang Jing and others left in a swagger.
"Play flags, keep your formation, and retreat in turn." Ling Xiao looked at the Japanese fleet without any expression and sneered, "The Japanese army is nothing but this."
When the Japanese fleet disappeared from sight, Chen Shiying, Wang Jing and others boarded Ling Xiao's flagship. "Hurry up all the way, but it was not late. Otherwise, I wouldn't know how to deal with Xingshuai when I went back." Ling Xiao saw Chen Shiying, Wang Jing and others coming, and said with a smile on his face.
"Salute!" Chen Shiying shouted loudly.
Voice
"I have met Deputy Commander Ling! Thank you for helping Deputy Commander Ling"
"You are welcome. As a member of the Chinese Navy, there is no reason to sit idly by. Besides, Ling is just doing his job on orders. If you want to thank him, please go to Xie Xingshuai." Ling Xiao replied to the military salute of the few people, and then said
"Supervisor Xing's great kindness must be remembered in his heart." Wang Jing nodded and said, "In the past, he only said that the Northeast Army was majestic, but he did not expect that the Northeast Navy was also not inferior, and he could not give in even the Japanese army."
"I laughed at you. In this Heilongjiang River, the Jiangfang Fleet can still be more powerful. If it goes out of the sea, it will not be able to straighten your back in front of the Japanese joint fleet." Ling Xiao shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"But no matter what, as long as the spirit comes, our navy will still catch up in the future, and it will be a shame to the Sino-Japanese War."
"Deputy Commander Ling said it well, once we are ashamed of the Sino-Japanese War, our soldiers should have this kind of momentum!" The tiger could not bear to fight. Chen Shiying believed that even if the navy of the Republic of China is gradually declining, the spirit of indomitable progress must not be lost.
"Deputy Commander Ling, the establishment of the Heilongjiang River Defense Fleet is really fast." Wang Jing sighed, "In less than two years, it has reached its current scale. This flagship should be the largest ship. It is much larger than the small gunboat of Beizhi."
Ling Xiaodao, "The largest warship in the Northeast is not in Heilongjiang, but the four latest Longjiang-class destroyers led by Commander Shen." "Longjiang-class destroyers!" Chen Shiying, Wang Jing and others looked at each other with a look. "Yes, the Northeast is built by itself, and now it is in Yingkou Military Port, and it is not much inferior to the great powers. The same tonnage is not a problem even if it is right with the Japanese army." Ling Xiao also said a little proudly.
"4 main guns with 105mm, 4 53m torpedo launchers, with a speed of 356
,,, "356 knots speed!" Chen Shiying exclaimed, this is one of the most important indicators of the new generation of destroyers. In addition, the main gun and torpedo launch are also good and bad compared with the great powers. I didn't expect that the Northeast, which has never been revealed, has such strength in the construction of ships. It is OK to build small-tonnage gunboats. It is okay, but if you wait a little larger, your performance is not as good as that of the great powers, let alone this new generation of destroyers that do not lag behind the great powers. Since you have come to the Northeast, don't leave in the future. I wonder if you are willing to stay." Ling Xiao smiled and said, "The central government does not attach enough importance to the navy, but our Xingshuai attaches great importance to it. Looking at the central government, there is no one to compare with Xingshuai. As for military affairs, there is no such thing as a saying.
When Wang Jing heard this, he was overjoyed. He was worried that the Northeast could not afford the navy and had no warships, so he did not cast it. Unexpectedly, he lost a good opportunity. Otherwise, with their ability, even if he could not compete for the position of deputy commander of the fleet, it would be no problem to get a warship captain with a larger tonnage. This time, the Northeast took the risk of going to war with the Japanese fleet and forced himself to escape from the Japanese blockade, which had won the favor of these people. It was much better than the weak center. Wang Jing hurriedly said
"I do, of course I do"
Chen Shiying and others also nodded
Ling Xiao laughed and said, "Haha, OK, I believe Xingshuai must be very happy to hear this news." "The Northeast can actually build the latest destroyer. I wonder if there are any more ideas to build in the future?" Wang Jing asked.
"This depends on Xingshuai's decision. Commander Chen has submitted a plan to build a new 6 destroyers. It has been rejected. "Ling Xiao said, "The Northeast Navy has expanded too fast, and it has invested a lot in the past two years. It is unlikely to increase a large number of ships in the short term.
Looking at Chen Shiying and others with a slightly disappointed face, Ling Xiao said again, "But although the plan to build 6 destroyers has been rejected, Xingshuai asked the shipyard to design and build a new light cruiser. Of course, construction will not start immediately. It will take several years to really launch the water. However, Xingshuai has never been targeted. I think the construction of a new light cruiser is always the same."
"A new light cruiser?" Chen Shiying's throat moved a little bit, and the average light cruiser had a displacement of less than 2,000 or more, and more than 3,000 tons. If it was a new type, the displacement of more than 4,000 to 5,000 tons would not be surprising. "Can the Northeast really build it?"
"You don't need to care about this anymore. Since Xingshuai has started designing in Huludao, there will definitely be no problem."
Ling Xiao smiled and said, Chen Shiying and others have not yet fully integrated into the Northeast Army system, and cannot touch more core secrets, let alone light patrols, or heavy cruisers. After the two arsenals of Tongliao and Fengtian solved key technologies such as large-caliber naval guns and power boilers, it is also a matter of time.
Chen Shiying, Wang Jing and others were excited when they heard this. Unexpectedly, Ye Chong attached so much importance to the navy. It was not like the current central government. It was common for him to sharpen his head and cut off his navy's expenditures. It was a common occurrence for him to deduct military officials. Instead of deducting it, it became a strange thing. Even small gunboats were reluctant to buy a few, let alone a light cruiser with a displacement of thousands of tons, which was built by himself. That was even more unthinkable.
"If this is true, the hope of the rise of the Navy in the Republic of China should be in the Northeast." After a long time, Chen Shiying took a breath and said
"Not only the navy, but the hope of the army is also in the Northeast." Ling Xiao said proudly. One of the things he was most grateful for was that he surrendered to the Northeast very early. Otherwise, even if he had outstanding capabilities, he would not have been able to ascend to the high position of deputy commander of the fleet in such a short time. Compared to sitting on the bench in the central Navy Bureau, it is a difference between heaven and earth and earth
"Deputy Commander Ling said that looking at the Republic of China, there is really no army that can be compared with the Northeast Army in terms of military achievements, and the Northeast Army is probably the only army that can be tough on the outside world." Wang Jing said this with emotion and Chen Shiying and others nodded.
"In the future, you will also become a member of the Northeast Army. Let's work together. You and I are still young. You can still be on the battlefield in twenty years. If the formation continues to develop like this, I really want to see what the Northeast will look like in twenty years." Behind Ling Xiaoshuang, looking at the Qingliu River after the initial transformation of ice and snow, he said with a look of longing.
"The people of Beizhi and others are also willing to do their best to the Northeast and the Republic of China twenty years later."
