s: There was a power outage here yesterday, sorry.
Make up for it today.
Ask for votes October 28, 1914, AD 2755.
Before today this month, there were two things that attracted the world's attention the most.
The first was the National Day Ceremony held on October 1st to celebrate the fourth anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Although according to Chinese tradition, this is not an integer that happens every five to ten, But it was the first ceremony after the official capital of Hanking was established, so its scale was not inferior to the founding ceremony of the country at that time, and even exceeded it in quality.
What attracts the most attention to the outside world is the Chinese armored forces and air force participating in the military parade.
In addition to several tanks and armored vehicles that participated in the Sino-Japanese War, there are also two new types of combat vehicles.
Although China has not announced performance parameters, you can just look at them.
Looking at their larger bodies and thicker tubes, you know that these two tanks must be more powerful things.
One is the zzc3 type 1914 "Raccoon" tank, which is an enlarged and improved version of the zzc2 type 1912 type "Wolverine" tank.
The weight is increased to 20 tons, and it is equipped with a 55mm cannon.
This tank has a long history.
There is no prototype on it, it is completely original.
The other is a self-propelled artillery that uses the same ground, the Type 1 1914 "Snake Meerkat" 75mm self-propelled howitzer.
There are also two new aircraft that debuted in the military parade.
One is the J-5 "Shrike" fighter developed by Chengdu Aircraft.
This is the world's first all-metal monoplane fighter.
It looks a bit like " 26 "toy gun" of later generations, the difference is that its cockpit is closed.
The other is also a biplane, but it is the world's first professional attack aircraft, or a dive bomber.
It is the Qiang-1 "Lark" attack aircraft produced by Efei.
Its appearance is very similar to the German hs123 dive bomber in the 1930s, but it also uses a closed cockpit.
This kind of thing is actually a by-product.
It was originally prepared to compete with Chengdu's J-5 for the position of the next main fighter.
However, in the test, its air combat performance was obviously not as good as the J-5 "Shrike".
After being beaten n times, , and ultimately failed shamefully.
But what is clear is that although this kind of aircraft has poor air combat performance and was ignored by the Air Force, it has shown strong dive performance and stability, so it was taken a fancy by both the Army Aviation and Hainan Airlines.
They suggested that E-fly This kind of aircraft can be improved and turned into an attack aircraft.
The Air Force doesn’t want it, we want it.
Although China's air force, army aviation and naval aviation are all air forces, the nature of their missions still have different focuses.
For example, for the same ground strike, the Air Force uses strategic bombing and large-scale bombing, focusing on area strikes, so what they need are large and medium-sized bombers.
"Point strikes" such as attack aircraft are not to their taste.
The mission of the Army Aviation and Hainan Airlines is to directly support the army and navy in operations, and attack aircraft are very needed.
These two aircraft only showed their faces in military parades, and no performance data were released.
However, as China is recognized as the number one air force power, since it has released two new aircraft for its troops, its performance cannot be too bad.
Especially when Europe is so intense, it would be strange not to attract everyone's attention.
After the National Day military parade, China held the first ship review of New China in the waters of Qingdao on October 6.
This ship review, like the military parade, is also showing off its muscles to the world.
The Chinese Navy is not as good as the Army and Air Force, and they still have a little less stuff in their hands, so they basically showed off most of their wealth. .
Participating in the ship review are: 4 Fuxi-class super-dreadnoughts, 2 Qinling-class large cruisers, 4 Qingcheng-class heavy cruisers, 8 Minjiang-class light cruisers, 10 Fuchunjiang-class light cruisers, and 28 Zhuhai-class destroyers , 33 Wuchang-class frigates.
There is also an aircraft carrier, three seaplane carriers and two airship carriers.
The batch of second-hand ships and warships above cruisers previously purchased from Europe and the United States also participated in the review, including 6 pre-dreadnoughts, 6 heavy cruisers and 6 light cruisers.
But the most eye-catching thing is the batch of trophies seized from Japan, including those surrendered and salvaged and repaired, including the 7 battleships Kawachi, Satsuma, Kashima, Shubo, Sagami, Hizen, and Iwami , 4 heavy cruisers Aso, Kurama, Ikoma, and Iwate, one light cruiser Hirado and 8 destroyers.
These ships deliberately did not change their names.
They only removed the chrysanthemum bow emblem of the original Japanese Navy and changed it to the "Golden Dragon Holding the Earth" bow emblem of the Chinese Navy, and replaced the military flag with a Chinese one.

A total of 487 ships participated in China's ship review, with a total tonnage of more than 600,000 tons.
Although torpedo boats and gunboats accounted for the majority of these ships, there were also many large warships.
According to European and American calculations, it includes 19 battleships, 14 armored cruisers, and 53 protected cruisers.
Anyway, this is what many Western media wrote.
After the news came out, the naval generals and military experts in Western countries had their glasses shattered and said, "Oh shit," because they were shocked to find that China had quietly become a naval power in just a few years.
Judging from the number of battleships, it is already sixth in the world.
It is second only to the United Kingdom with 66 ships, Germany with 48 ships, the United States with 35 ships, France with 34 ships, and Russia with 20 ships, and one more than Italy.
You know, the Chinese Navy five years ago was just a weak navy with the largest warship being a protected cruiser and a total tonnage of less than 30,000 tons.
Didn't everyone talk about the "hundred-year navy"?
But now, in the blink of an eye, the old hen turned into a duck.
It has only been five years, but there has been an inexplicable new naval power on the earth.
Many people find this fact unacceptable.
Well, although most of these ships in China are second-hand ships that were bought, paid, or salvaged, there are also new and large ships.
Just the four Fuxi-class super-dreadnoughts can make many countries kneel.
They have proven their combat effectiveness in the great sea battle between China and Japan in the East China Sea.
Because the naval parade can be seen as a continuation of the National Day military parade, these seemingly two things are actually one.
In fact, after this year, this has become the practice of the Chinese Navy.
After every National Day military parade, there will be a ship review.
The second incident began on October 12.
Germany carried out strategic bombings on large cities such as London, Birmingham, Manchester, and Sheffield in the United Kingdom.
The protagonist among them is the product that Germany produced after introducing the H-2 "Egret" heavy bomber-related technology from China and making some improvements.
Germany called it the "Gotha II" heavy bomber.
At the beginning of the war, all German bombing missions were undertaken by airships.
As the war progressed, the airships' weaknesses such as their bulky size, slow movement, and vulnerability to weather effects were gradually exposed.
The most important thing is that the white phosphorus incendiary bomb was invented by the British.
Fighters equipped with such bullets became a nightmare for airships, and of course the same was true for the Allied Powers.
A large number of airships on both sides were destroyed by white phosphorus incendiary bombs, making it difficult to carry out the airship bombing mission and causing increasing losses.
So Germany began to turn its attention to specialized long-range bombers, preparing to use this kind of thing to replace airships for long-range bombing missions.
In the past, due to the dazzling aura of the "airship victory theory" concocted by Mr.
Wen and the huge carrying capacity of the airship itself that blinded everyone, no country except China has developed specialized long-range bombers.
Everyone has the task of , airships are enough for bombing.
Germany is no exception.
They have not developed a long-range bomber, not even a plan.
However, they have very "in-depth cooperation" with China, and they have a relatively good understanding of China's two bombers, so they approached China and asked to buy aircraft and introduce technology.
However, China does not have many H-2s.
It only sold 20 to Germany to replace the tube radios and lower-power engines.
The drawings and production authorization were sold to them.
The Germans immediately started mass production after getting the drawings.
At the same time, they made some improvements to the drawings, added self-defense weapons, and made some changes in appearance from the original version.
This is the "Gotha II" heavy bomber.
This kind of aircraft has better performance than the cargo of the same name in the original space and time, and has a bomb load of one ton.
The major maximum speed is 200 kilometers per hour, the cruising speed is 160 kilometers, the endurance is 1100 kilometers, and the practical ceiling is 7500 meters.
The "Gotha II" of the original space and time had a bomb load of only 500 kilograms, a maximum speed of 140 kilometers per hour, a ceiling of 6,500 meters, and a range of 835 kilometers.
For more than half a month, the "Gotha II" heavy bomber has become a nightmare for the British, causing a large number of casualties in several major British cities.
At the same time, the cities were severely damaged, a large number of factories were destroyed, and industrial production was severely reduced.

It was called a "Gotha" disaster by the British.
Hanking, Presidential Palace.
The above two things are indeed eye-catching, but today another major event happened that attracted world attention.
"At 6 o'clock local time, the Allied troop transport fleet was attacked by a large number of German submarines near the junction of the Gulf of Aden and the Arabian Sea in the Indian Ocean, causing heavy losses.
The Allied Powers lost 4 cruisers, 3 destroyers and 65 troop transport ships. "33 cargo ships" Military Secretary Gu Xiaoyuan read aloud the intelligence she had just received.
Director of the Military Intelligence Bureau Xia Xiao added: "Mr.
Wen, according to our intelligence, these troop transport ships are colonial troops recruited from Australia, India, French Indo-China and other places, as well as Japan's first batch of participating troops, a total of 8 More than 4,000 people were transported by 96 troop transport ships.
In this attack, at least half of the troops will be lost."
"The British are also careless.
In August, Germany announced a submarine war against Allied ships.
Are they not prepared?"
Xinjie frowned.
Xia Xiao said: "Mr.
Wen Desi was about to speak when suddenly Gu Xiaolan ran in with another piece of information.
"The British troop transport fleet was attacked in the Atlantic Ocean near Iceland. 37 troop transport ships and 12 cargo ships were destroyed. 2 Canadian divisions were all lost to German submarines."
"What, the Atlantic Ocean was also attacked?"
Wen Desi was startled and quickly checked the information.
Xin Jie smiled and said: "Haha, the Germans did really well.
They killed at least 5 divisions of the Allied Powers at this time":
