s: Sorry, there are too many things in the company today.
I didn’t stop until dinner.
I was free at night.
I’ll try to code another chapter.
Please encourage me with your monthly votes and recommendations.
It’s the last day.
If you don’t vote, it will be forfeited.
On February 28, the first year of Xuantong, 1909, Wuchang Shipyard.
"Tu tu tu tu" The two inland river gunboats "Chu Tai" and "Chu Guan" skillfully docked at the internal dock of the shipyard.
As soon as the springboard was lowered, the waiting shipyard staff swarmed forward with tools.
The officers and soldiers on the ship immediately began to pack their things and moved all the things they could take away, such as guns and ammunition, instruments and equipment, beds, bedding, food and beverages, and other items to the warehouse on the shore for temporary storage.
After completing the handover procedures, you took your personal belongings and left the dock area.
After the two inland river gunboats are handed over to the shipyard, they will begin docking overhaul and system upgrades.
After the officers and soldiers on the ship walked onto the dock, the 1.8-meter-tall captain who was walking at the front said to his comrades next to him: "Kaicheng, I heard that our new ship has been built, why not take a look now?"
Li Ang nodded quickly and said excitedly: "Okay, Yuntai, I heard that these new ships are all from China from design to manufacturing, as well as all the parts.
It's great."
Comrade Li Ang is only the trainee captain of the "Chu Tai".
He is currently studying at the former Wuchang Revolutionary Army Command College of China Military University and is studying for a half-year intermediate command course.
This is the rule before being promoted to a lieutenant officer.
Training process is required.
Even Wen Desi himself could not break this example.
Although he was determined to promote this genius, he had to follow the process.
However, Li Ang's admission into the China Military University was already a special consideration from President Wen.
You must know that this is a place to train school officers, and the trainees are all selected from the top lieutenants in active service.
He was promoted to captain in October last year and was selected as a member of the military academy in just one month.
If he had followed the regular process, he would not have been able to get his turn.
The army is a place that pays great attention to seniority.
The tall captain next to Li Ang is the trainee captain of the "Chu Guan" and a classmate of this intermediate naval command course.
Because the cultural quality of naval officers is higher than that of the army, many basic cultural courses are omitted from their courses, and the school length is shortened from nine months to half a year.
Many indigenous army officers like Yi Damao only became illiterate in the army, so they are incomparable to these guys.
The trainee captain of the "Chu Guan" is named Wang Guangxing, also known as Yuntai.
A native of Shunqing Prefecture, Sichuan, he was born into a landlord family.
His grandfather was a Jinshi scholar and had served as a magistrate in Jiangnan.
His father was a Juren and his mother was from another large local family.
Wang Guangxing was among the fourth batch of graduates from the Qing Dynasty Navy who studied in the UK.
He graduated from the Royal Naval Academy in Greenwich, UK.
After graduating in 1904, he joined the Qing Navy and served as the second officer on the Haiqi.
In 1906, he was kicked out of the army by the Qing army because he sympathized with the revolution and returned to his hometown in Sichuan to find a job.
Later, Wang Guangxing applied to join Xingke Shipping Company as a captain, and then became an officer of the Sichuan Militia River Fleet.
While at Xingke, he quickly accepted the ideas of scientific socialism and became an activist.
After the navy of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army was established, he was transferred to this newly-established naval force as he wished.
Due to congenital conditions, the Navy of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army was the latest to be established among the three armies.
On the eve of the Sichuan Uprising, the Sichuan Militia River Fleet under Wen Desi only had 8 homemade shallow-water inland river gunboats.
Machine guns, 4 x 7 machine guns.
It has a capacity of 48 people, a maximum speed of 15 knots, and an endurance of 400 nautical miles.

There are also more than 20 small armed patrol boats of 3,080 tons.
There is no way around this.
Big ships cannot be built in Tuojiang River.
Even though Xingke has a lot of "future ship" blueprints and strong technical strength, it has insufficient congenital conditions and can only stare blankly.
It wasn't until Kyodo News captured Wuchang and captured the Hubei fleet that they had a decent fortune.
After Hubei was liberated, the revolutionary army navy was officially established.
Later, after the Wuchang Shipyard was established, real naval ship manufacturing began.
Those before were only considered "river warships."
Warships, outfitting docks.
At this time, there were two warships parked on the dock, and engineers and workers were busy on them like a swarm of industrious bees.
It can be seen that the outfitting of these two warships is nearing completion and the final painting work is being carried out.
Their painting is very eye-catching, with red under the waterline, white on the freeboard, the superstructure and turrets are blindingly golden, and the barrels are black.
Well, it completely copied the livery of "Great White Fleet".
The shapes of the two warships are very beautiful.
They are completely different from the vertical bows of similar ships today, but have floating bows.
The stepped deck makes the entire appearance appear slender and neat.
"Oh oh oh, it's so beautiful."
Li Ang and Wang Guangxing stood outside the warning circle, staring at it like perverts looking at beautiful women, making various unexplained sounds from time to time.
When the two of them were enjoying themselves, a guard came over, saluted them and said, "Sir, please show your identification."
"Ah, here."
The two men quickly took out their military ID cards and handed them over.
The guard carefully looked at the two officers' ID cards, handed them back, and reminded: "Sir, you do not have enough authority, please do not enter the cordon."
Li Ang took the officer's ID card and nodded: "Okay, let's take a look here.
Do you think they are beautiful?"
"Of course, this is a new type of warship made entirely by China.
Of course it is beautiful," the guard said proudly.
The two continued to "look" aside, while a group of technicians on the new warship were talking.
"Okay, that's great."
Wang Tengpeng stroked the railing and looked at the sister ship of the same class opposite him with a smile on his face.
He was one of the best friends who came back by airship with Lin Shenhe.
He studied ship design.
After arriving at Xingke, he worked at Neijiang Shipyard.
Due to limited conditions, he could only design some river boats in Neijiang until I became the deputy chief engineer of Wuchang Shipbuilding last year, which is where I can put myself to use.
"The Wuchang-class frigate has a standard displacement of 1,050 tons and a full displacement of 1,250 tons.
The waterline is 75 meters long, 8 meters wide, and has a draft of 3.5 meters.
It is driven by four 2,500-kilowatt diesel engines, dual-shaft drive, and has a maximum design speed of 28.
Twin main engines gun, 4 twin-mounted 40-mm secondary guns, 8 12-gun torpedo tubes, as well as the most advanced fire control system and radio wave detection instrument, as well as the most advanced computer."
Wang Tengpeng fluently reported the data of this new class of ships.
"Mr.
Wang, it should be a large destroyer.
Why is it called a frigate?"
The person who asked the question was an engineer named Xu Wei.
Xu Wei struggled with this name for a long time.
He really couldn't figure out why the superiors would call a large destroyer a frigate.
Although he is one of the main designers of this class of warships, the naming is in charge of the superiors.

Wang Tengpeng shrugged and replied: "This was decided by Chairman Moon himself.
Chairman Moon said that only those with a weight of 2,000 tons or more are called destroyers, and those with a weight of 800 to 2,000 tons are called frigates."
Then, he said: "By the way, Huaixing, Guangzhou Shipyard is about to start production, and our superiors asked us to transfer a group of key personnel there.
What do you think?
Don't you want to design a battleship?
Only big factories on the seaside can manufacture this kind of ship."
There are large warships, but only small ships can be built here.”
"I obey the organization's arrangements," Xu Wei replied quickly.
"Mr.
Wang, are you going to go?
Don't you also want to design a big ship?"
Wang Tengpeng said excitedly: "I may go to Jiangnan.
The Jiangnan factory needs to be rebuilt, all the equipment needs to be upgraded, and the shipyard needs to be expanded."
Neijiang, Naval Headquarters.
"Commander, Lieutenant Colonel Lin Han called from Saigon.
The French warship has arrived at Cam Ranh Bay."
The secretary reported to Wang Tiechuihui.
"It is indeed the 8 warships we have purchased.
There are 3 Glorious-class armored cruisers, 1 Joan of Arc-class armored cruiser; one Guishan-class and Renoburg-class protected cruisers, and the Destre-class protected cruiser Two ships.”
Wang Tiechui nodded: "Yes, I understand.
I want Lin Han and others to pay attention and carefully check the status of these ships, so as not to let the Gallic chickens take us for granted."
Then, he frowned again and asked: "Can't Italy still deliver the two Garibaldi ships?"
"According to our representatives, the Italians' work efficiency is extremely low, and it will take about next week to complete the relevant procedures." the secretary replied.
"Hey, Mr.
Wen is so right, they are such a bunch of idiots."
Wang Tiechui put his forehead on his hands and sighed, there was nothing he could do.
"Forget it, let's not talk about profit.
How is the renovation work in the United States?"
The secretary flipped through the records and replied: "According to our on-site representatives, the six destroyers will be completed by the end of next month, and the four battleships will be completed by the end of June."
At this time, the phone in front of Wang Tiechui rang.
"Hello, yes, I am Wang Tiechui.
Oh, this is the Secretariat of the Central Committee.
Comrade Gu Xiaoyuan, what are you doing?
Really?
That's great.
Thank you so much.
Minister Ka is really a diplomatic genius.
Comrade Gu Xiaoyuan, when I heard today The best news hahahaha” After putting down the phone, Wang Tiechui smiled so hard that he couldn't even see his eyebrows.
He said happily: "Great, the work in Chile has finally been completed.
They agreed to be a middleman and help us purchase a few second-hand battleships.
Humph, then It’s really troublesome to help John Bull.
We have to go around in a circle before we are willing to sell it.
It’s really unreasonable.”
"Commander, are the British willing to sell warships?"
After hearing the news, the secretary also became happy.

Wang Tiechui said angrily: "Yes, these arrogant cows are bitches and build archways.
They are unwilling to sell us directly.
They insist on changing their hands to appear neutral.
Go to hell."
Niu Niu was very arrogant.
They originally refused to sell the warship, but the price offered by Wen Desi was not low, and Niu Niu didn't want to give up the business.
Coupled with the activities of the London branch, Niu Niu finally relented, and they hinted The southwest government found an intermediary and took over.
"So, Commander, what are we going to buy?"
Wang Tiechui touched his chin and said: "They will definitely not sell anything that is too new, and we don't like anything that is too old.
Although the second-hand boats currently sold are mainly for training, they should not be too broken.
Well, specifically We still need to find out, okay, let the relevant departments come over for a meeting in the afternoon and discuss it carefully
