s: Chapter 1 today October 1, 1916.
On the day when China held its sixth anniversary celebration, there were new developments on the European battlefield.
That afternoon, Wen Desi, who was still participating in mass activities at China Gate Square, received urgent information.
This morning, the "Taibai 2" reconnaissance satellite captured changes in the main fleets of both Britain and Germany.
Combined with intelligence from other channels, the Intelligence Department of the Third Department of the General Staff judged that an unprecedented large-scale naval battle would break out.
After receiving the report, President Wen and other senior officials ordered the deployment of three unmanned exploration aircraft to monitor the actions of both parties, and ordered the 18th Submarine Detachment, which was conducting combat readiness patrols in the North Sea, to rush to monitor.
As for why the Chinese submarine force went to the North Sea to conduct combat readiness patrols, is there anything surprising about it?
Imperialist warships such as Britain and France are still running around the world.
A monk can touch them.
I can't figure out how there is such a thing in the world. reason.
Uh, okay, to be honest, these Chinese submarines were attracted by gold.
The navy attacked the British Empire's gold ships several times and made a lot of money.
After learning about the taste, there are never fewer Chinese submarines around the British Empire.
There are two submarine detachments hanging around the British Isles at any time.
Whether it is Premier Zhang of the State Council or Commander-in-Chief Wang of the Navy, they are all eagerly looking forward to making a few more big votes.
Who told me that Da Ying has two-thirds of the world's gold?
If not, who will grab it?
The 18th Submarine Detachment is equipped with the latest Type 904 "Sea Lion" submarine.
This submarine is an enhanced and enlarged version of the Seal class.
It can be said that it is specially designed to rob cattle and gold ships.
It is currently the largest attack submarine in the world, with an underwater displacement of 3,300 tons.
It is equipped with eight 550mm torpedo launch tubes, six in the front and two in the rear, and equipped with 32 torpedoes.
In addition, there is a 100mm naval gun that can lift and a 40mm machine gun that can lift on the deck.
The power system still uses traditional diesel-electric power, with a top speed of 12 knots on the water and 22 knots underwater, which is slower than the previous two-class submarines.
However, it has added fuel tanks and battery packs, and its endurance has been greatly improved.
The endurance is on the water or 22 knots.
The snorkel mode is 15,000 nautical miles and 8 knots, underwater diving is 400 nautical miles and 6 knots, and underwater rapidity is 16 nautical miles and 22 knots.
The self-sustainability is up to 60 days.
Coupled with the equipped Manatee-class supply submarines and camouflaged supply fleets on the surface, they can stay in the Atlantic for long-term patrols.
A large part of the gold-carrying ships lost by Britain were buried in the mouths of these vicious sea lions.
However, there are currently only four such "Sea Lion" submarines in service, and this is the result of the shipyards working overtime at a wartime pace.
Currently, all four Sea Lions are in the 18th Submarine Detachment, and two Manatee-class supply transport submarines are also temporarily equipped.
At six o'clock in the morning London time, there were several washbasin-sized pieces of wood floating on the sea outside Scapa Flow.
Their appearance looked mottled.
It was unknown how long they had been floating on the sea.
There is so much garbage like this on the sea that no one will notice it.
But these wooden blocks are different.
They are just deliberately made to look like wooden blocks.
Their true identity is communication buoys for submarines.
At this time, a huge fleet was sailing out of Scapa Flow.
Suddenly, an invisible radio wave spanned space and was transmitted from an unmanned exploration aircraft at an altitude of 30,000 meters to a communication buoy on the sea.
Soon they disappeared silently into the waves.
A few minutes later, not far from the sea where they disappeared, several periscopes quietly poked out of the sea.
"Lion, Princess Royal, Queen Mary, Tiger, New Zealand, Indefatigable" Colonel Han Fengyu lay in front of the periscope and carefully identified these warships.
"Good guys, all nine battlecruisers are dispatched.

That's right, it's the British battlecruiser detachment."
The nine battlecruisers that appeared on the sea are already the entire property of the British Royal Navy.
They originally had ten battlecruisers, but in the first half of the year they transferred the "Australia" to the Australian fleet and became a ship of the Australian Navy.
As the captain of the detachment with the largest number of sinkings in the Chinese Navy's submarine force, Han Fengyu was promoted to colonel last year and transferred to the 18th Submarine Detachment, which is equipped with the latest submarines.
But he was not very satisfied, because his "gold-making" results could only be ranked second, and the first place in "gold-making" was Colonel Huo Bin's animal.
"Damn, Huo Bin is just so lucky.
He actually encountered 1,400 tons of gold and 2,800 tons of silver for the first time.
Later, the British learned the lesson and transported everything separately.
Every time All are hundreds Hundreds of tons per ton.
Never again have we encountered such a good thing, thousands of tons at a time.
These stingy British guys are really timid.
Will you die if you transport more gold at a time?
Uncle Han, I am such a rough sleeper.
It’s not easy in the sea either.”
Han Fengyu complained bitterly in his heart about Opium Niu's petty arrogance, but turned his attention to the fleet in front of him.
"Captain, should we mess with this guy?
They don't know it was us anyway," the captain, Major Yan Daoren, said bewilderedly from the side.
This guy also stared at the British fleet with green eyes and swallowed his saliva.
Although he is also a veteran captain, ranked first in both command and technology, his character is not very good.
So far, he has only gained one destroyer in the Diaoyu Islands naval battle.
Now is the time to get hungry.
Look Seeing so many "results" passing by in front of my eyes makes me feel really itchy.
"Damn it, don't tempt me.
Do you know that I can't stand the temptation?"
Han Fengyu glared at him and angrily scolded him: "Now there is no order from above to attack.
I can only watch and not make any move."
Yan Daoren said without giving up: "It's so uncomfortable just to watch.
Why don't you ask your superiors for instructions?"
Han Fengyu rolled his eyes at him, "You have bad intentions, do you want me to be punished?
Come on, just watch here while I go catch up on my sleep."
He yawned and muttered: "Damn it. , I was let off the hook by the British last night, causing me to spend the whole night guarding in vain.”
At this time, the listener suddenly said: "Detachment leader, an unknown submarine was found, bearing 272, distance 36,000, water depth 70" As soon as he heard this, Han Fengyu's energy came to him, and he immediately turned around and came to the listener.
I saw 10 obvious bright spots on the passive sonar display in the water, all located 36 kilometers east of the boat.
Two of the bright spots are moving south, while the other eight are heading towards Scapa Flow.
"Two of them are following the British battlecruiser detachment, and the other eight are moving towards Scapa Flow.
If their route remains unchanged, they will pass about 6,000 meters northeast of our ship," the sonar chief reported.
"It must be a German submarine."
Yan Daoren also came over.
At this time, the sonar sergeant next to him also completed the voiceprint comparison and said: "Report, after voiceprint comparison, it can be confirmed that these ten submarines are Type 901 sold by our country to Germany, and the production number is" "Damn, it is indeed a German submarine.
It seems they are planning to attack."
Han Fengyu touched his chin and said, "Okay, let's continue to monitor and see what the Germans want to do."
Hanking, Presidential Palace.
At this time, Wen Desi was holding a cup of Pu'er tea and sitting in front of the screen with a group of senior generals to watch the video from the scene.
He smiled and said to Gu Xiaolu: "Haha, it seems that although the Battle of Jutland has been postponed for several months, it has not disappeared after all.
A battle without the Battle of Jutland is incomplete."

"Yeah" Gu Xiaolu smiled and nodded.
Now she has a big belly and her face is full of maternal glory.
In August, she had temporarily given up her job as secretary-general and was raising her baby at home.
Pregnant women get tired easily.
After watching the live broadcast with Wen Desi for a while, Gu Xiaolu became a little sleepy.
Wen Desi quickly said: "Xiaolu, you have to pay attention to your health now.
Xiaoyuan, help your sister go back to rest."
After Gu Xiaolu left, Navy Commander-in-Chief Wang Tiechui asked: "Mr.
Wen, Secretary Gu's due date is December, right?"
"Yeah, I didn't expect that I would be a father soon.
Well, I've already checked and it's a boy."
Wen Desi smiled proudly.
"This is a good thing.
How many people are looking forward to the birth of your son now?
You don't know that many people are praying for Gu Mi.
Not to mention others, there are a lot of people in our navy.
Zhoushan, Shanghai, Qingdao, Fangcheng The Mazu temple next to the military port is filled with flower baskets for blessings." "" Wen De was embarrassed and shook his head with a wry smile: "Hey, that's true.
What does it have to do with them if I give birth to a son?"
Although the Chinese Science and Socialist Party is a materialist party, it also advocates non-religion among its members.
However, in actual operation, it is not that members of the organization are completely prohibited from contacting religions.
It is just that those dangerous foreign religions are particularly excluded and members of the organization are absolutely prohibited from contacting them.
However, there is no ban on moderate, progressive religions such as Buddhism and Taoism that originate from the local or have been localized, as well as positive traditional beliefs such as Mazu, but the official attitude is that they do not support or encourage them. .
In fact, the military, especially the navy, is very superstitious, especially the indigenous officers and soldiers of this plane.
If they are not given a positive and controllable spiritual dependence, they will be taken advantage of by some bad things such as cults. enter.
So Wen Desi asked the General Administration of Religion to come forward and set up some religious sites under his control next to major military bases.
In particular, the idols promoted were all local gods, and there were no foreign ones.
Yes, it is double standards.
A ruler who does not practice double standards is not a qualified ruler.
However, Mr.
Wen's attitude towards this kind of thing has always been this way.
He is not an internationalist, nor is he a middle school boy who thinks he is fair and just.
For example, in the navy, Mazu belief accounts for at least 95% of the total number of believers.
It is public for naval officers and soldiers to visit Mazu, while political cadres just pretend not to see it.
This undoubtedly biases Taoism, but it is also normal.
Because Taoism is, on the one hand, a local religion, and its three views of teachings are in line with the moral values of the Chinese people.
On the other hand, the current Taoism has been completely transformed.
Now all the people in charge of Taoism have been replaced by people trained by the Party of Science and Socialism, and the teachings have also become content that meets the standards of the new era.
Those sects in the past have been If it is annexed or eliminated, the people inside will either change their homes or go digging, planting trees, building roads, or something like that.
Of course, this is not only true for Taoism, but also for all religions in China.
They are even more strict on those foreign products, and they will be punished to death if they have the opportunity.
If you think it's unfair, then get out of here.
It's better to leave without giving it away.
This is the rule here, if you don't like it, don't come.
Although Mr.
Wen himself didn't believe this, he still felt a little happy about the behavior of his subordinates praying for his wife and son.

This shows that everyone supports him, and he is not that awkward.
Naturally, he will not forcibly prohibit this kind of spontaneous behavior.
He just pretends not to know, does not encourage or support.
Besides, this kind of thing cannot be banned.
For example, a certain leader of the original time and space opposed superstition for his whole life, and only ten years after his death, he became the god of transportation and roads.
In the foreseeable future, if Wen Dehei If he didn't lose his mind, his reputation among the people would definitely be higher than that one's, and becoming a god would be almost certain.
As for everyone's hope that he would have a son, this is also based on traditional Chinese views.
In the eyes of the Chinese, if a ruler, especially a very popular ruler, has no descendants, everyone will feel uneasy.
Wen Desi suddenly thought of something and said with a strange expression: "But if I remember correctly, isn't Mazu the God of the Sea?
When did he expand his business scope?"
Wang Tiechui smiled and said: "Mr.
Wen, the Poseidon is only one of Mazu's divine functions.
She is not only the goddess of the sea, but also the priest responsible for peace, protection, disaster relief and evacuation.
In addition, because many navy families have also failed miserably against him, recently he There is indeed a tendency to become the patron saint of families, pregnant women and children.
In addition, there are signs of expansion into areas such as luck, life, and fisheries.
Uh, in addition, because many naval officers and coast guard officers and soldiers worship it, it is used in naval warfare, law, etc.
The field is also covered.”
Mr.
Wen was embarrassed: "Well, it seems that Comrade Mazu's business ability is quite good."
After chatting and laughing with everyone for a while, Wen Desi returned to the topic and said to Wang Tiechui: "Old Wang, what do you think the outcome of this Battle of Jutland will be?"
"This," Wang Tiechui pondered for a moment, then said, "I don't think there will be a real winner between them.
I'm afraid this battle will end with Germany's tragic victory.
Although Germany, with our support, its naval power is stronger than it was in history. is stronger, but Britain is also stronger.
Compared with the two, Germany does not have much advantage.
The most important thing is that the quality and experience of the German navy are not as good as those of the British, so they will win due to equipment factors, but they will also lose.
It’s quite huge and I’m afraid it will lose its combat effectiveness for a long time.”
Wen Desi shook his head and said: "This is not possible.
We have to find a way to make it easier for Germany to win.
At least the losses cannot be too great, and we must ensure that they can attack the British mainland.
If we cannot bring the war to the British Isles, then we Wouldn’t it be all work in vain?”
