Chapter 166: Armed Intervention (I)


October 24, 1911, 2752 AD, Fangchenggang.

Fangcheng Shipyard is located at the southernmost tip of Fangcheng Peninsula.

Part of it is an artificial breakwater.

This is a brand new shipyard that started construction at the same time as the Guangzhou Shipyard.

Since the local infrastructure is much worse than that of Guangzhou, the progress is nearly a year behind that of Guangzhou Shipyard.

Compared with Guangzhou Shipyard, Fangcheng Shipyard appears to be more pure because it is a dedicated military shipbuilding plant.

No civilian ships are built here, only military ships and confidential special ships.

Therefore, this place is not open to the public.

The shipyard and the surrounding areas are all military-controlled areas, and no one is allowed to enter.

While Guangzhou Shipyard and Jiangnan were starting construction of super-dreadnought warships, attracting the attention of the world, this remote naval shipyard was tinkering with a new type of ship, which was an epoch-making and unprecedented new type of ship.

At this moment, the hull of the ship is nearly completed, and its appearance can be roughly seen.

First of all, the biggest difference between it and other warships is that it has an oversized deck that is very high from the water and runs through the entire ship.

The length and width of this oversized deck have exceeded the length and width of the hull, which makes it look very unusual.

The second difference is that the deck superstructure is small and located on the right side, even offset to the outside of the deck.

The third difference is that its weapons are extremely weak.

There are only a few 130mm naval guns and a bunch of small and medium-caliber guns under 75mm on a warship of more than 10,000 tons.

This kind of firepower configuration is not as good as that of a destroyer.

If you are a military fan from later generations, you will recognize it at a glance.

This warship is undoubtedly an aircraft carrier.

Yes, this is China and the world’s first aircraft carrier.

Moreover, this is not the messy aircraft carrier from the early days of the original time and space, but a real, pure aircraft carrier.

In the original history, the first real aircraft carrier, the Japanese "Hosho", would not appear in the world until 1922.

Although in this era, battleships are the real maritime overlords, the descendants of Wen Desi from later generations will certainly not forget that aircraft carriers are the future maritime overlords.

Therefore, although he is also currently building battleships, aircraft carriers have not been left behind.

This aircraft carrier named "Yu Chao Class" can actually only be regarded as a test and training aircraft carrier.

As we all know, the aircraft carrier itself does not have much combat effectiveness.

Its combat effectiveness comes from carrier-based aircraft.

At present, China's aviation technology cannot produce carrier-based aircraft that can subvert the hegemony of battleships.

Although the base's main control optical brain has all relevant information, and even the drawings are ready-made, it is not that simple to turn these things into physical objects.

Not to mention that China's industrial foundation is too weak.

Even if the great powers obtain these materials, they will not be able to quickly bridge the technological gap of more than 20 years.

Of course, with the base's own equipment, it is not impossible to manufacture a small number of aircraft that are ahead of the times.

However, modern warfare is about quantity, and victory can no longer be won by just a few new weapons.

No matter how good the weapons are, the quantity is small.

It doesn't make much sense.

Besides, those "future" equipment are non-renewable and precious resources.

Wen Desi used them to manufacture various "hens" such as machine tools and production equipment, rather than directly manufacturing products.

Wen Desi would not do such an extremely uneconomical deal.

Another important factor is that the process and technology should be developed step by step, so as to lay a solid foundation.

It is of course possible to be ahead of the mainstream at this stage, and it can also stimulate the development of technology and technology, but it is not a good thing to be too far ahead.

It's like asking people in the Middle Ages to build a television set based on drawings.

It's simply unrealistic.

Therefore, aircraft carriers at this stage are mainly used as technical reserves and training supplies.

Of course, with the current combat effectiveness of carrier-based aircraft, although they are not a big threat to battleships, they are still very threatening to light ships below cruisers and merchant ships.

Even if they cannot be used in fleet decisive battles, they can be used to detect, break diplomatic relations, and attack the enemy.

Square light ships are still very good.

According to the naming rules of the Chinese Navy, aircraft carriers are named after dynasty names and provincial administrative units.

The Yu Dynasty was the first dynasty in China.

Although some scholars now believe that it may not be an independent dynasty, Mr.

Wen said that it is.

Then Forget it.

This aircraft carrier currently in the dock is the first of the "Yu Chao class".

If there are no accidents, its future name will be "Yu Chao".

The design features of the "Yu Chao class" are the right side island surrounding the chimney, a full deck, a closed bow, and a large square stern.

Two elevators are arranged at the front and rear of the ship island.

The standard displacement is 10,500 tons and the full load displacement is 13,000 tons.

The waterline is 180 meters long, 21 meters wide, and the draft is 5 meters.

The flight deck is 185 meters long and 24 meters wide.

The power system is eight heavy oil boilers, four steam turbines, four-shaft drive, 60,000 shaft horsepower, a maximum speed of 31 knots, and a range of 8,000 nautical miles and 12 knots.

The main weapons are 4 130mm high and flat dual-purpose cannons, 4 75mm high and flat dual-purpose cannons, 4 40mm twin-mounted machine guns, 6 20mm twin-mounted machine guns, and 10 12mm anti-aircraft machine guns.

The Yuchao class can carry 36 carrier-based aircraft including 6 spare aircraft.

It has a rated passenger capacity of 800 and an estimated construction cost of 8.14 million yuan.

Wen Desi was next to the dock at this time.

He asked: "When will the Yu Chao be completed?"

The factory director introduced on the side: "Mr.

Wen, the Yuchao is the first-generation aircraft carrier with a relatively simple structure.

In order to speed up the construction, we have also transferred part of the outfitting work to the dock.

After it is launched next month, the outfitting will The construction period can be reduced to three months and is expected to be completed in February next year.”

"Where's the carrier-based aircraft?"

Wen Desi asked again.

An officer next to him quickly replied: "Efei's J-1h and Chengdu's J-2h have each received 10 prototypes.

Hainan Airlines is still conducting further testing to determine which one to use.

Now our Hainan Airlines pilots are using 3 Conduct take-off and landing training at a simulated site” The carrier-based aircraft pilot has been training for a long time, and the "Simulation Field No. 3" he mentioned is a very advanced simulation field.

The entire venue is made of steel plates, which is exactly the same as the layout of the aircraft carrier's flight deck.

Under the steel plates is a motor-driven hydraulic device, which can simulate the ups and downs of the aircraft carrier in the waves, which is very close to reality.

"Yes."

Wen Desi nodded with satisfaction, then pointed to the two ships at the outfitting dock and asked, "Are the Xu Guo and Chen Guo soon?"

These are also two ships with weak weapons, with a displacement of about seven to eight thousand tons.

It can be seen from the hull that they were converted from merchant ships.

The rear deck of the Xu Guo is very long, the superstructure is concentrated at the front, and there are several cranes on the rear deck.

The layout of the Chen Guo is the opposite.

The superstructure has been moved to the back, but two tall poles are erected one behind the other on the front deck.

At present, it seems that both ships are being painted, and the construction is obviously nearing completion.

The factory director said: "Yes, Mr.

Wen, the Xu Guo seaplane carrier will be completed nationwide early next month, and the Chen Guo airship carrier will be completed by the end of this month.

The seaplanes and carrier-based airships are already ready."

According to the Navy According to the naming rules, ships carrying aircraft other than ordinary aircraft, such as seaplane carriers and airship carriers, are named after ancient countries in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

"Okay, very good."

Wen Desi was in high spirits today.

He was about to go up to the seaplane carrier and airship carrier to have a look, but Gong Zisui, the confidential secretary who came in a hurry, interrupted his plan.

"Mr.

Wen, there is an urgent call from the Hanoi Consulate."

Gong Zisui took out a telegram with an ugly face.

She is the confidential secretary responsible for Southeast Asia.

"Last night, riots broke out in Hanoi against wealthy Chinese" "What?"

Wen Desi took it and looked at it, his face suddenly darkened.

"Go back to the Guangzhou Provincial Government immediately and immediately notify relevant personnel to attend a meeting in Guangzhou."

The next morning, Guangzhou, Guangdong Provincial Government.

After receiving Wen Desi's order, Xin Jie, Vice Chairman of the Military Commission and Chief of General Staff, Zhang Lizheng, Premier of the State Council, and other relevant personnel rushed from Wuhan to Guangzhou overnight.

The meeting started early in the morning in the conference room.

Gu Xiaolu, Secretary-General of the Central Government, first reported the situation: "According to preliminary statistics from the consulate, a total of 112 people were killed, 268 were injured, 17 others were missing, and 5 women were violated by the gangsters, with property losses of approximately 26.3 million yuan.

In addition, according to the latest report this morning, two more people died due to excessive injuries."

Attendees already knew the information along the way, but it was emphasized again.

"Why is Sun Wen dead?

Didn't the consulate warn them?"

Rossi asked strangely.

Gu Xiaolu replied: "The consulate also asked the survivors of the Tongmenghui.

According to them, Sun Wen did not believe our warning and thought we were scaring him, so" Wen Desi sighed: "I really didn't expect that Sun Wen would die in this way.

I originally thought that he was a revolutionary pioneer and wanted to let him go, but I didn't expect that such a thing would happen.

It seems to us The intelligence network in Vietnam is still very flawed, and we don’t know until something like this happens.”

"I'm sorry, Mr.

Wen, this is because we are not doing our job well."

The two intelligence chiefs Wang Qi, the Minister of National Security, and Xia Xiao, the Director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, could not sit still.

Fan Han was very calm, because their Central Social Security Department was not responsible for foreign countries.

"We will discuss your work later.

Now we are discussing how to deal with this incident and how we should respond."

Wen Desi waved his hand and asked the two of them to sit down.

Wen Desi looked at everyone's expressions and continued: "Because of the past events, many people in our organization can't stand the Tongmenghui.

Yes, I don't have a good impression of them either.

However, let me make it clear here that although the Tongmenghui They are bastards, but they are also our bastards.

Even if we have to deal with them, we have to do it ourselves, no one else needs to do it."

"Although many of those killed this time were members or sympathizers of the Tongmenghui, there were also many innocent people.

This is absolutely intolerable."

Wen Desi said with a gloomy face: "This time, the French and Vietnamese authorities must give us a or I will give them an explanation”:
