Chapter 193: Sino-Japanese War (4)


s: The naval battle begins in the next chapter.

Everyone encourages me with their votes, oohaha.

April 7, 1913, 2754 AD, Shanghai, frontline headquarters of the East China Military Region.

Nowadays, Shanghai has canceled its concessions.

Then the Socialist Party of Science and Technology regime struck again, purging all the traitorous compradors and leading parties.

It also used iron-blooded means to wipe out all the gangsters in Shanghai.

Shenma Qinggang, Honggang, Hutou Gang, all members were either shot or sent to labor camps.

The three famous underworld tycoons in the history of the original time and space were suppressed without even a chance to emerge in this dimension.

Subsequently, the place was hit by the rubber crisis.

The New China regime took advantage of the opportunity and a large number of banks, banks, compradors and the old upper class went bankrupt.

New China's attitude towards the financial industry seemed very conservative.

Although it did not go so far as to cancel it, it was able to control it.

It is very strict, and has introduced a large number of financial systems such as "n1" and "lower limit and higher limit" from later generations, making China's current financial system more complete.

This is because Wen Desi is very clear about the harm that excessive development of finance will do to industrialization.

Just thinking about the consequences of Western countries in later generations that over-relyed on the financial industry and ended up deindustrializing and abolishing martial arts is enough to make him think about it.

Finance is extremely vigilant.

The financial market must not be open, its scale must be limited, and it must be firmly controlled by the central government, and it must not be allowed to develop freely.

Because of this, it is no longer possible for "adventurers" at home and abroad to take advantage of loopholes and make money as before.

To put it another way, even if their character explodes and they make money, they will never be able to take it out.

Not only Mao Xiong can do this trick, but also Mr.

Wen does it without any psychological pressure.

Because of this series of events and policies, Shanghai, the financial center of Asia, became very depressed for a time, and many stock exchanges and futures exchanges that were once prosperous became deserted.

Wen Desi didn't care.

He always cared about technology and industry, not this kind of short selling.

However, capital always pursues profits.

With the rapid development of China's industry and agriculture, playing stocks and securities in China has become profitable again, although the possibility of getting rich overnight is no longer the same as before. , but if you are lucky, it is also possible to generate a profit of 10 per day with the daily limit system.

So starting last year, Shanghai's financial industry began to fully recover, and now it has become the financial center of Asia.

In addition, New China is also very concerned about the construction of Shanghai.

Various leading-edge municipal planning and construction, as well as strict control of social security, have made Shanghai's investment environment far better than before.

Although compared to before, foreigners no longer have "super-national treatment" here, but compared with the small money, you don't need to worry about such trivial matters.

By this year, Shanghai's financial market has completely surpassed its peak period in the late Qing Dynasty, and the rise has not stopped.

However, it is not the financial industry that has changed the most in Greater Shanghai, but the industry.

Because of the Westernization Movement, Shanghai was originally the place with the best industrial foundation in China.

Even during the Datu Dynasty, Shanghai was still the national industrial center.

This time and space is no exception.

Although the crown of the First Industrial Zone was taken away by Neijiang due to Mr.

Wen's cheating, this is because Neijiang is the home of Wen De's heirs and has various golden thigh cheats.

It is not that Shanghai is not good at it.

Compared with other regions, Shanghai can still be completely destroyed, and even the current temporary capital Wuhan Industrial Zone is inferior.

Currently, the five largest enterprises in the Shanghai Industrial Zone are Huadong Textile, Baoshan Iron and Steel, Shanghai Petrochemical, Jiangnan Machinery and Jiangnan Shipbuilding.

The latter two originated from the Jiangnan Manufacturing Administration in the late Qing Dynasty.

After New China took over Shanghai, the Jiangnan Manufacturing Administration was officially divided into two parts: machinery and shipbuilding.

Jiangnan Machinery Group includes various machinery products such as heavy machinery, machine tools, and military industry.

It is currently the only enterprise except Neijiang Yizhong that produces heavy and super-heavy machine tools.

As its name suggests, Jiangnan Shipbuilding is an enterprise with ship manufacturing as its core product.

Jiangnan Shipbuilding is now the third largest shipbuilding base in China, second only to the newly established Guangzhou Shipyard Group and the older Mawei Shipbuilding.

Currently, there are three Fuxi-class super-dreadnoughts under construction at Jiangnan Plant, two of which have entered the outfitting stage.

There is also a battleship "Suleiman the Magnificent" built for the Ottoman Empire that just started construction this year.

"Mr.

Wang, the Hou Yi and Chi You have currently installed the main guns, and are in the process of installing the secondary guns and anti-aircraft guns.

It is expected to be completed by the end of this month.

The fire control system and observation system will be installed next month.

It is initially expected to be installed by the end of July.

Complete all outfitting tasks," an engineer reported to deputy chief engineer Wang Tengpeng.

Wang Tengpeng sighed: "It's a pity that we can't catch up with this war.

Our Houyi is specially prepared for little Japan.

It's a pity that we can't shoot the sun this time."

"Mr.

Wang, will this little Japanese attack our factory?

Now we have three super fearless ones here," said an engineer next to him with some worry.

The factory area where Jiangnan Shipyard currently builds battleships is not at the old site of the Huangpu River Estuary, but on Changxing Island.

This place is right at the mouth of the sea.

Although new coastal defense forts have been built on Hengsha Island, Chongming Island and Shanghai Pudong next to it, it still seems a bit unsafe.

If the Japanese naval battleships break through the shore artillery blockade, they can directly bombard the Jiangnan Factory.

Another engineer also said: "Yes, although our new factory is much better than the old factory, the location always makes people feel unreliable.

I don't know what the higher-ups are thinking, but they actually built the Chi You built by Guangzhou Shipyard."

If you come here to outfit, the risk will increase again.”

"The Chiyou was sent to us for outfitting because Guangzhou Shipyard's outfitting dock is being renovated, and they also sent people over.

They are just borrowing our venue.

What are you dissatisfied with?

Do you understand this kind of mountain-headism?

"That engineer in Wang Tengpeng was so trained that he couldn't even carry it."

He started, and then said: "As for the safety issue, you must have confidence in our army and President Wen.

Since the superiors have arranged the new factory here, it means that they are confident in ensuring the safety here.

You have all considered it."

Didn't they consider it?"

"If you see it, that's our guarantee."

Wang Tengpeng pointed to a fleet not far away on the sea.

"Six battleships, six heavy cruisers, and eight light cruisers, most of the country's fleet is here, not to mention our world's number one air force.

You are afraid of nothing."

Just as he was talking, a sharp alarm suddenly sounded in the factory area.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" "This is it!"

Everyone was shocked, and some even exclaimed, "The Japanese are calling."

"Idiot, listen clearly, this is a strong wind warning, not a war warning."

Wang Tengpeng glared at the guy who shouted "The Japanese are coming."

He looked at the weather beacon hung on the lighthouse and said: "Damn it, it's a level 7 gale, you guys hurry up and get ready to take shelter.

Damn it, why did the typhoon come so early this year?"

Provisional task force, Gonggong.

"Damn, how can there be a typhoon in this season?"

Major General Zhang Minghui frowned as he held the weather forecast in his hand.

Chief of Staff Ou Limeng said: "Commander, according to experts from the Meteorological Bureau, the weather this year is a bit abnormal, but this is not a typhoon, just a larger tropical storm."

Zhang Minghui shook his head: "I know that it has to reach Level 8 to be considered a typhoon, but even Level 7 winds will have a great impact on us.

Look at this time, it happens to be when Japan's feint fleet arrives.

By then, there will be violent storms and rain.

Yes, our planes can’t take off at all, and small torpedo speedboats can’t sail either.”

"Indeed, judging from the current situation, our original battle plan cannot be used.

This needs to be carefully planned," political commissar Yan Yuechen said helplessly.

There is no way, this is really not as good as God.

According to the original plan of the Chinese Navy, three super-dreadnoughts under construction were used as bait to attract the Japanese fleet to the waters near Shanghai, and then the sea and air jointly strangled it.

In order to make Japan take the bait, the Pacific Special Forces consisting of cutting-edge warships were also deliberately The mixed fleet was transferred to the Taiwan Strait to support the landing operations, creating the illusion that Shanghai was empty.

Generally speaking, according to normal people's thinking, they must be looking for the weak ones, and they will definitely deal with Shanghai first.

After all, these are all second-hand ships.

What's even more rare is that there are three super-dreadnoughts under construction, which are definitely good things that cannot be let go.

But who knows, Japanese people’s thinking is different from normal people.

According to the intelligence sent by the early warning airship, the Japanese unexpectedly split their forces in Naha, and the main fleet actually continued southward to fight against the Pacific Task Force.

It turned out that the bait prepared in Shanghai only attracted a feint fleet.

This situation left China speechless.

The Japanese's appetite is too big, and they actually want to wipe out the entire Chinese Navy in one go.

Okay, just pretend to be a fleet, even if there are no fish or shrimps.

But what was even more unexpected was that a tropical storm also came to join in the fun.

Contrary to the current depression of the Chinese army, the Japanese are extremely happy at the moment.

"The Empire is truly blessed by God," Rear Admiral Gentaro Yamashita, commander of the Third Fleet, said happily: "When the Yuan invaders attacked, there was a divine wind to help us.

Today, when we are punishing the violent attack, there is a divine wind to help.

It shows that our empire is truly protected by God." " Chief of Staff Saburo Horiuchi also excitedly echoed: "Your Excellency, Commander, China relies entirely on the air force to bully others.

Now that the kamikaze has arrived, China's aircraft and airships cannot take off.

Our army no longer has to worry about air attacks.

And at this time of high winds and high waves, , those disgusting torpedo boats are mostly useless, and most of China's despicable tricks have been abolished.

They must engage in a regular naval battle with our army, and regular naval battles are the strength of our army.

This time, China will defeat the weak. defeat" After a pause, he said with a greedy face: "When our army defeats the China Defense Fleet, the three super-dreadnought ships of Jiangnan Factory will become our army's trophies."

The Japanese generals on the bridge applauded
