E: Sorry, there are too many things in the company today. I haven’t stopped until dinner when I get up. I’m just free in the evening. Let’s try to make another chapter.

Everyone should encourage me with monthly tickets and recommendations. It’s the last day, if you don’t vote, you will be a void

On February 2, 1909 (the first year of Xuantong), Wuchang Shipyard.

“Tututu…”

The two inland gunboats, "Chu Tai" and "Chu Guan", were skillfully docked onto the inner dock of the shipyard. As soon as the springboard was put down, the shipyard staff who had been waiting had rushed forward with tools.

The officers and soldiers on the ship immediately began to pack up their things and moved all the items they could take away, such as guns, ammunition, instruments, bedding, food and beverages, etc. to the warehouse on the shore and temporarily stored them. After completing the handover procedures, they carried their personal belongings and left the dock area.

After these two inland gunboats are handed over to the shipyard, docking overhauls and system upgrades will begin.

After the officers and soldiers on the ship walked onto the dock, the captain who was in the front, who was B meters tall, said to his comrades next to him: "It's been completed, I heard that our new ship has been built, so why not go and have a look now..."

Li Ang nodded quickly and said excitedly: "Okay, Yuntai, I heard that this batch of new ships, from design to manufacturing, and all the parts are all our own, which is great."

Comrade Li Ang is just the intern captain of the "Chu Tai". He is still studying at the China Military University (formerly Wuchang Revolutionary Army Command College) and is studying the intermediate command course for half a year. This is the pLAR rule and a necessary training process before the lieutenant is promoted to the school. Even Wen Desi himself cannot break this example. Although he is determined to promote this genius, he must follow the process.

However, Li Ang’s ability to enter the China Military University is already a special concern of President Wen. You should know that this is a place to train school officials, and the students are all top candidates selected from the active lieutenants. He was promoted to a captain in October last year and was selected as a military university member in just one month. If he followed the routine process, he would not be able to take him anyway. The army is a place that pays great attention to qualifications.

The tall captain next to Li Ang was the intern captain of the "Chuguan" and was also a classmate in this intermediate naval command course. Because the cultural quality of naval officers is higher than that of the army, their courses save a lot of basic cultural courses, and the course has been shortened from nine months to half a year. Many indigenous army officers like Yi Damao are only blind in the army, which is incomparable to these guys.

The intern captain of the "Chuguan" was named Wang Guangxing, whose courtesy name was Yuntai. He was from Shunqing Prefecture, Sichuan. He was born in a landlord family. His grandfather was a Jinshi. He was a prefect in Jiangnan. His father was a juren and his mother was from another big family in the local area. Wang Guangxing was the fourth batch of graduates from the Qing Dynasty Navy in the UK. He graduated from the Royal Navy Academy of Greenwich, England. After graduation in 1904, he joined the Qing Dynasty Navy and served as the second deputy on the Haiqi. In 19UU, he was kicked out of the army by the Qing army for his sympathy for the revolution and returned to his hometown in Sichuan to be unemployed.

Later, Wang Guangxing applied for the job as the captain of Xingke Shipping Company, and then became an officer of the Sichuan Militia Inland Fleet. During his time at Xingke Company, he quickly accepted the scientific socialist thought and became an activist. After the naval formation of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army, he was transferred to this newly built naval force as he wished.

Due to the innate conditions, the Navy of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army was the latest among the three armies. On the eve of the Sichuan Uprising, Wen Desi's Sichuan Militia Inland Fleet had only a homemade inland shallow water gunboat. The Neijiang Shipyard produced the standard 60 tons, equipped with 丨75mm main gun, Um switch gun, 4-standard 4 maximum speed of 15 knots, and a cruising capacity of 400 nautical miles. There are also 2 small armed patrol boats of 3-0 tons.

There is no way to do this. There is no way to build a large ship in the Tuojiang River. Even though Xingke has a large number of "future ships" drawings and strong technical strength, its inherent conditions are insufficient, and it can only stare at me.

It was not until Kyodo News took over Wuchang and captured the Hubei fleet that it had a decent family background. After the liberation of Hubei, the Revolutionary Navy was officially established. Later, after the establishment of the Wuchang Shipyard, the real naval ship manufacturing began. The previous ones could only be regarded as "river warships".

Martial ship, outfitted dock.

At this time, two warships were parked on the dock, and engineers and workers were busy like hardworking bees. It can be seen that the outfits of these two warships are coming to an end and the final paint coating is underway. Their paintings are very eye-catching, with red under the waterline, white under the side, and superstructures and turrets in golden yellow, and the barrels are black. Well, they are completely copied from the painting of the "Big White Fleet".

The two warships have very beautiful shapes, completely different from the vertical bows of the same type today, but are floating bows of the outer boats. The step-shaped deck, and the entire appearance looks slender and neat.

"Oh oh oh, it's so beautiful." Li Ang and Wang Guangxing stood outside the guard circle, staring at the sight of a pervert looking at a beautiful woman, and they made various unidentified screams from time to time.

Just as they were watching, a guard came over, saluted them, and said, "Two officers, please show your identity certificates, please

"Ah, give it to..." The two of them quickly took out their officer certificates and handed them over.

The guard carefully looked at the officer certificates of the two, returned them, and reminded him: "Sir, you do not have enough authority, please do not enter the cordon."

Li Ang took the officer's certificate and nodded, "Okay, let's see it here. Do you think they are beautiful?"

"Of course, this is a new warship completely made by our China, and of course it is beautiful..." said the guard proudly.

The two continued to "look at" and not mention it for now. At this time, a group of technicians on the new warship were talking.

"Okay, that's great." Wang Tenghuang stroked the railings and looked at the sister ship of the same level opposite him with a smile. He was one of the best friends who came back on an airship with Lin Shenhe. He studied ship design. After arriving at Xingke, he worked in the Neijiang Shipyard. Due to the conditions, he could only design some inland boats in Neijiang. It was not until he became the deputy chief engineer of the Martial Arts Shipbuilding last year that he had a place to use it.

"Wuchang-class frigate, standard 106 tons, full 26 tons. The waterline is 75 meters long, B meters wide, and draft B6 meters. 4 26-kilowatt diesel engines drive, dual-axis drive, designed maximum speed of 2.6 knots, cruise speed of 15 knots, and endurance of 66 nautical miles. It is armed with 2 10-unit main guns, 4 double-unit 40mm secondary guns, B-unit 2mm machine guns. A triple 55Umm torpedo tube. There are also the most advanced fire control system and radio wave detection instruments, as well as the most advanced computers..."

Wang Tenghuang fluently reported the data of this new ship.

"Mr. Wang, it should be a large destroyer, why is it called a frigate?" The question was an engineer named Xu Wei.

Xu Wei was struggling with this name for a long time, but he really couldn't figure out why a large destroyer was called a frigate. Although he was one of the main designers of this class of warships, the name was on the top.

Wang Tenghuang shrugged and replied: "This was decided by Chairman Wen himself. Chairman Wen said that more than 26 tons is called a destroyer, and between 80 and 26 tons is a frigate.

Then, he said, "By the way, Huaixing, the Guangbo Ship is about to start production, and the superiors ask us to transfer a batch of bones to the past. What do you think? Don't you want to design battleships? Only large factories on the beach can build such large warships. Martial ships can only build some small ships here."

"I obey the organization's arrangement..." Xu Wei quickly replied. "Mr. Wang, then are you going? Don't you also want to design a big ship?"

Wang Tengpei said excitedly: "I may be going to Jiangnan. The Jiangnan factory will be rebuilt, all equipment will be upgraded, and the shipyard will be expanded.

Neijiang, Navy Command.

"Commander, Lieutenant Colonel Lin Han called from Saigon, and the French warships had arrived at Cam Ranh Bay." The secretary reported to Wang Tiehui. "... It is indeed the warship we purchased. There are one Glory-class armored cruiser Joan of Arc-class armored cruiser Jishang and Renaultburg-class protective cruiser, and two Destroy-class protective cruiser."

Wang Tiechu nodded: "Well, I understand. I want Lin Han and the others to pay attention and carefully check the conditions of these ships. Don't let the Gaul chicken treat us as suckers.

Then he frowned again and asked, "Where are the two Italian Garibaldi ships? Can't deliver the goods?"

"According to our representatives, Italians are extremely inefficient in their work and will not be completed about next week," replied the secretary.

"Oh, Mr. Wen is right. It's such a bunch of idiots." Wang Tiechu sighed with his forehead and he couldn't help it.

"Forget it, let alone Yidaili, how is the renovation work in the United States?"

The secretary flipped through the records and replied: "According to our on-site representatives, the battleship will be completed before the end of next month, and the battleship will be completed by the end of June."

At this time, the phone in front of Wang Tiechu rang.

"Hey, yes, I'm Wang Tiechu. Oh, it's the Central Secretariat, Comrade Gu Xiaoyuan, what's going on with you?... Oh, really? It's so good. Thank you so much. Comrade Gu Xiaoyuan, a diplomatic genius, at this time, the best news I heard today hahahaha..."

After putting down the phone, Wang Tiechhui was already smiling and lost sight of his eyes. He said happily: "It's great. The work in Chile has finally been completed. They agreed to be a middleman to help us buy a few second-hand battleships. Humph, those John Cattle are really troublesome. We have to go around in circles before we can sell them. It's really outrageous."

"Commander, are the British willing to sell warships?" Hearing the news, the secretary was also happy.

Wang Tiehui said angrily: "Yes, these arrogant bulls are both bitches and archways. They are unwilling to sell us directly. They have to turn around and make them neutral. Go to him, damn it."

Niu Niu is very arrogant. They originally refused to sell warships, but Wen Desi offered a price not low, Niu Niu did not want to give up the business, and with the activities of the London branch, Niu Niu finally let go. They hinted that the Southwest government would find an intermediary and start.

"So, Commander, are we going to buy those?"

Wang Tiechhui touched his chin and said, "They will definitely not sell what is too new, and we don't like it. Although the second-hand ships currently sold are mainly for training, they cannot be too broken... Well, we still need to understand the specific ones. OK, let the relevant departments come to have a meeting in the afternoon and discuss it carefully."
Chapter completed!
