s: Sorry, something happened yesterday.
April 10, 1913, 2754 AD, Wuhan.
"A great victory in Zhoushan, a great victory in the Diaoyu Islands" “Yesterday, our country’s Shanghai Provisional Task Force annihilated the invading Japanese Third Fleet in the waters off Zhoushan.”
"Early this morning, my glorious People's Navy Pacific Task Force completely annihilated the Japanese Combined Fleet in the waters off the Diaoyu Islands."
Early this morning, people who went out heard the sound of newspapers being sold all over the street.
The headlines were so horrifying and unbelievable.
Delivery boys from major newspapers filled the streets shouting, almost going crazy with excitement.
Lieutenant General Sa Zhenbing, chairman of the Chinese Naval Construction Commission, got up early to go to work at the Naval Construction Commission as usual today.
He had just left the house in his car when he heard the newspaper deliveryman's cries.
"What a great victory for our navy.
Stop the car and bring me a newspaper."
He immediately asked the driver to stop the car.
The car stopped at a newsstand, and the secretary quickly got out of the car and came over to buy a copy of several major newspapers and immediately handed it to Sa Zhenbing.
Sa Zhenbing turned out to be the chief of the navy of the Beiyang government.
After Beiyang surrendered to the Socialist Party of Science, he surrendered together with other Beiyang officers.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was naturally impossible for him to continue to be the chief of the navy as a demoted general, and there was no shortage of people under General Wen.
However, Lao Sa is a pretty good person and has a pretty good reputation as a judge, so even though he was moved to the second tier, his treatment is still very good.
He is currently the chairman of the Naval Construction Committee and concurrently serves as the vice-president of the Naval University.
The president is concurrently appointed by the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, Wang Tiechui, and also serves as the senior military adviser to the Central Committee.
The Naval Construction Committee is a comprehensive second-line organization whose main responsibility is to be responsible for various construction tasks of the Navy, such as personnel training, base construction, and the allocation and coordination of ship design and manufacturing tasks.
At the same time, this department has an important task, which is to be responsible for the exchange and public relations between the Navy and the domestic people, as well as the overseas Chinese community, and of course, soliciting sponsorship.
Not surprisingly, the navy is different from other branches of the military.
Diplomacy and public relations are their traditional reserved projects.
Therefore, the position of chairman of the Naval Construction Committee has high requirements on the holder's reputation and popularity.
For Lao Sa, it couldn't be more suitable.
Now the Naval Construction Committee has a naval construction fund, which is mainly sponsored by overseas Chinese.
Among them, overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia and North America sponsor the largest amount.
This fund currently has more than 50 million yuan in capital, and is specifically operated by a foundation composed of professionals hired from the private sector.
The fund's accounts are managed transparently, and all relevant parties providing sponsorship can inquire.
In principle, this fund is to make up for naval construction funds, and it is also directed to the Naval Construction Committee.
Of course, they are not responsible for the specific operation of funds, only how to use the money.
"Chairman, we had a great victory yesterday," the secretary said happily.
He had just glanced at it, and the front pages of major newspapers were talking about this matter.
"Okay, let me take a look."
Sa Zhenbing selected from the pile of newspapers and picked up a China Daily special issue to read.
On the front page of this special issue, the four bright red characters "Victory in the East China Sea" took up half of the page.
Below are a few lines of bold letters: Our naval officers fought bravely and annihilated the Japanese combined fleet today.
Sa Zhenbing's eyes suddenly became sore, his hands trembled, and he immediately began to read the detailed battle report below.
"In this battle, tens of thousands of officers and men of our glorious People's Navy fought hard all night, and at one o'clock in the morning today, they defeated the Japanese combined fleet.
In this battle, a total of 105 Japanese combat ships were sunk or captured, with a total tonnage of 489,000 tons.
Sunk, 22 Japanese auxiliary ships were captured, with a total tonnage of 97,000 tons.
They sank 13 battleships, 12 armored cruisers, 17 protected cruisers, and 50 destroyers.
They captured 3 Japanese battleships, 1 armored cruiser, 1 protected cruiser, and 8 destroyers, and captured 18 Japanese auxiliary ships.
Not a single ship was sunk in this battle, and only a dozen were slightly damaged."
"The total number of Japanese naval personnel participating in this battle was more than 37,000, more than 29,000 were dead or missing, and our army captured more than 7,700 people. 78 of our troops died gloriously and 298 were gloriously wounded.

After this battle, the Japanese combined fleet no longer exists."
When he saw the last sentence, "After this battle, the Japanese combined fleet no longer exists," he could no longer hold back his turbulent emotions and burst into tears.
After crying for more than ten minutes, Sa Zhenbing wiped his eyes and sighed: "The shame of the Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War has been overturned in one day.
I never thought I would see this day again in my lifetime."
As he said that, he said to the driver: "Quick, go."
Naval Command, I would like to congratulate Commander-in-Chief Wang and express my gratitude as a veteran.”
On this day, not only Sa Zhenbing, but almost all the people in the country lost their composure in ecstasy.
The veterans who had participated in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894, especially the navy officers, were all so excited that they burst into tears and couldn't help themselves.
According to State Council staff, Vice Premier Yuan Shikai burst into tears in his office after receiving the news that morning. presidential palace.
Yesterday, Wen Desi watched the live broadcast in front of the screen for most of the night.
He waited until the victory was finally confirmed before going back to sleep.
Today, he got up after three strokes.
As soon as he entered the office, Gu Xiaolu handed him a stack of letters.
"What is it?"
Wen Desi asked curiously.
"Petition" Gu Xiaolu said with a smile: "Mr.
Wen, many former Beiyang Navy officers have asked to join the Navy of our Republic.
Some older ones said that they can no longer do the Navy themselves, but their sons and grandsons can still do it."
"Join the army.
Why are they looking for me to join the army?
Our army has regulations.
Let them go to the relevant departments and follow the regulations.
I will not interfere in this matter."
Wen Desi waved his hands and put the matter aside.
"Our troops don't just come and leave when they want.
Since they disliked the poor conditions and were unwilling to work in the past, now they have to follow the rules."
To be honest, except for a few people such as Sa Zhenbing and Xie Baozhang in the Beiyang Navy, the moral character of the remaining people is really not to be praised.
They all only know how to engage in small circles and are good at fighting internally and outside fighting externally.
Wen Desi simply does not Look down on them.
Originally, these guys thought that the Socialist Party of Science and Technology had no naval talents, and that building a navy would be inseparable from them.
So, they one by one exaggerated their own status, asked for officials and money, and couldn't get enough.
Who knew that Wen Desi ignored their Wang Po's selling melons and found someone else to build a brand new navy, so this group of people were dumbfounded.
As a result, now that they have seen the new People's Navy defeat their former opponents, these people can no longer sit still, so they quickly lose face and prepare to rejoin.
"By the way, Xiaolu, let the people from the Military Commission come and prepare for today's regular meeting."
Wen Desi ordered.
After a while, the people from the Military Commission arrived.
Since the war started, the Military Commission has been meeting every day.
"Xinjie, how is the situation in the army now?"
Wen Desi asked.
Chief of General Staff Xin Jie said: "Mr.
Wen, there is no problem with the navy now.
All that remains is the army.
Taiwan's army has successfully entered Taipei this morning and is currently fighting in the streets with the defenders.
The progress in the direction of Taichung and Tainan is going smoothly.
As for the direction of Penghu, Japan has no regular troops here, only some security forces composed of local people, and they have now captured them all."

"The situation in the Liaodong direction is also ideal.
We have conquered the Qingshui River defense line and are now attacking the Jinzhou defense line.
Under our continuous shelling and air strikes, the Japanese defenders suffered heavy losses.
According to the plan, they are waiting for news from the navy.
No large-scale infantry attack was launched, but the time has come."
"As for the direction of North Korea, when we started the war, we sent special forces to seize the Yalu River Bridge.
After the bridge fell into our hands, the 3rd Division and the 102nd Division immediately crossed the river and attacked Pyongyang."
"In addition, there are guerrillas organized by us in Taiwan, and there are anti-Japanese armed forces in North Korea that we support.
When we attacked, they also started revolts in the rear, causing a lot of trouble for the Japanese army."
After listening to Xin Jie's report, Wen Desi pondered for a while, knocked on the table and said: "The Air Force wants to intensify its bombing efforts, can the bomber production keep up?"
Air Force Commander Meng Shu quickly said: "Mr.
Wen, there is no problem with bomber production, and there is no problem with logistics supplies.
But we are short of people now.
We have enough planes, but no one is flying them.
I ask the Military Commission to immediately recruit civilian pilots and let them After several months of intensive training, at least there will be no problem flying a bomber."
Wen Desi nodded: "Well, this is a problem.
You will make a plan later to mobilize civilian pilots.
Aviation clubs across the country have been established for several years, and now there are more than 20,000 junior pilots.
Now it is time to give full play to their role It’s time.”
"Also, Meng Shu, how is your air force's plan to conduct air strikes on the Japanese mainland going?"
Meng Shu replied: "Mr.
Wen, our bombers don't have enough range.
If we take off from Shanghai, even if we add auxiliary fuel tanks, we can only bomb to Kyushu Island.
If we want to bomb Tokyo, we can only use large airships, but the speed of airships is slow." , is greatly affected by the climate.
The climate during this period is unstable and is more dangerous for airships.
Our meteorological experts are preparing to find a suitable time to send out airships for bombing.”
Wen Desi said: "Yes.
But bombers can also be dispatched, even if they can only bomb to Kyushu.
I will smash all the places that can be bombed.
Many Japanese factories are wooden buildings, and they mostly use napalm bombs.
Give me Burn them hard and bleed them thoroughly."
"Yes, Mr.
Wen" After the meeting, Wen Desi was just about to take a rest when the British Ambassador to China, John Aldian, came to his door.
"Huh, what kind of mediation do they want to do?
It's too late now":
