Chapter 52 Target - Vladivostok!
Shandong Weihaiwei
This is the first time Tang Jian has returned to Weihaiwei since the founding of the People's Republic of China. When Tang Jian climbed a small hill on the west side of Weihaiwei and looked down at the Weihaiwei Port in the distance, he felt a lot of emotion.
It was here that time that Tang Jian met Deng Shichang and became a brother of a different surname. At the same time, he met Deng Yimeng, the current presidential wife.
The sound of the deafening cannons during the Weihai Guard Defense War echoed in his ears, and the voices, appearances, smiles and appearances of the Beiyang Navy soldiers who died in this sea area were still constantly emerging in front of Tang Jian's eyes.
Deng Shichang, who would rather die than surrender, Liu Buchan, Yang Yonglin and others who used his life to interpret the soul of the Beiyang army, and Ding Ruchang, who lived and died with the Beigang Fort.
All the scenes were deeply imprinted in Tang Jian's mind.
The Weihaiwei Port in the distance has been completely renewed after several wars. It has a brand new and hideous gun, and the warships cruising in the port, the clouds roll in the blue sky, the military flags flutter, the masts of the warships gather in Shanghai, and the salty sea breeze comes towards us with waves.
Tang Jian shouted silently in his heart towards the vast sea:
Brother Chang! I'm back again. I have fulfilled your last wish. There is no Beiyang Fleet on the coast of China today. The Beiyang Fleet has turned into a ray of dust in history like the Qing Dynasty, and replaced by the Chinese Pacific Fleet, which is several times stronger than the Beiyang Fleet!
Brother Chang, I not only want to help you achieve your ideal of defending the seas of the motherland, but I also want to pursue my own dream, which is to lead the Chinese fleet to gallop on the sea, so that those Westerners who look down on the Chinese know that in the distant East, a fleet led by the Chinese will sweep the ocean!
Brother Chang, you should see it in heaven now! The Qing Dynasty’s incompetence has been submerged in the long river of history, and the rise of China has become a historical necessity. I believe that with the joint efforts of 400 million Chinese compatriots, the Chinese nation will definitely stand among the nations of the world.
And Meng'er, she is very good now and will soon add incense to my Tang family. I think the swornship of the past should not count, because if you and I were sworn brothers, what if Meng'er gave birth to a big fat boy for me, should she call you grandpa or uncle? So, Brother Chang, you should be my father-in-law!
When she thought of this, Tang Jian wanted to cry and laugh, grinning stupidly, but her tears couldn't stop flowing, and was blown dry by the sea breeze before it dripped.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps coming from behind Tang Jian, and Chen Chusheng's voice came: "President, the soldiers of the Yellow Sea Fleet have gathered in the square and are preparing to attend the oath-taking ceremony in the north. I'm waiting for you to speak."
Tang Jian wiped the tears randomly, turned around and said, "Yeah, I'll be here soon."
Seeing Tang Jian’s eyes flushed, Chen Chusheng asked in a low voice: “President, you…”
Tang Jian smiled slightly and said, "The wind is strong outside, and his eyes are sore." As he said that, he took Chen Chusheng to the square on Liugong Island. Chen Chusheng muttered in a low voice after Tang Jian's exercising, "Is the wind very strong? Why don't I feel it?"
On Liugong Island in Weihaiwei, the original Beiyang Naval Academy was changed to the Huaxia Naval Military Academy, which is a base dedicated to the Pacific Fleet to transport naval talents. At the same time, the Huaxia Naval Military Academy will also send some international students to study in Europe and learn modern science and technology.
This time, the Weihai Wei Huanghai Fleet's oath-taking ceremony was held on the playground of the Huaxia Naval Military Academy. Rather than being a playground, it can be regarded as a relatively large square, a square that can host more than 20,000 people at the same time.
At this time, officers at all levels of the Yellow Sea Fleet had already stood in a huge square with neat military appearance. The Yellow Sea Fleet, including more than 6,000 Marines, had more than 15,000 people.
Looking from the stage, more than 10,000 eager faces from the stage looked at Tang Jian excitedly. This time, the president personally directed the battle, and every ordinary soldier was in a rush of mood.
In the eyes of these ordinary soldiers, Tang Jian is like a god of war. Since Tang Jian took over the Beiyang Fleet, every battle has been invincible and invincible!
After the Beiyang Fleet was adapted into the Pacific Fleet, the Pacific Fleet's military power became even more powerful. Just a month ago, Tang Jian personally led the Pacific Fleet, led by the new ship Fearless, to confront the British Far East Fleet on the sea surface of Fuzhou! In the end, the British Fleet ran back to India in shame.
What is the concept of the British Far East Fleet? It is a main fleet of Britain in the Far East, a world naval power. However, such a British Far East Fleet was forced away by the East Fleet.
After this incident, other European powers began to re-estimate the strength of the Chinese Pacific Fleet, because Britain, which had not set aside for even a few days, was afraid of three points, and no other country was not afraid of it. On the one hand, it was amazed at the rapid development speed of the Chinese Navy, and on the other hand, it also stepped up the development of new warships.
It is also this incident that the international status of the Democratic Republic of China soared. Even the Chinese ambassador stationed abroad held high his head and chest when walking, which was very different from the former Qing ambassador to foreign countries.
This is the diplomatic effect brought about by a country's strong national defense strength. As long as the fist is strong, China will have confidence in speaking in diplomatic occasions.
It is precisely because of the strong strength of the Pacific Fleet that the pride of the officers and soldiers in the Pacific Fleet is increasing day by day. Everyone is proud of joining the Pacific Fleet. Tang Jian is even more tall in the minds of ordinary soldiers.
This time, Tang Jian personally led the troops, so the soldiers were all full of fighting spirit and wanted to board the ship immediately and drive Russia out of China's territory.
Tang Jian stood on the platform, coughed lightly, and said, "Why did the soldiers of the Yellow Sea Fleet end the civil war and start a war?"
"First of all, I want to make it clear that I am not a militant, nor is it that China wants to launch a war, but the Russians occupy the territory of China. As a passionate man of China, do you allow the territory of your own country to be ruled by other countries?"
"No!" Ten thousand people in the audience raised their right fists and shouted with great force.
Tang Jian pressed his hands and signaled everyone to be quiet. The entire square suddenly fell to him and could even hear the breathing sounds of everyone.
Tang Jian continued: "Since the Russians occupied the Northeast, they have done bad things in the three northeastern provinces, oppressed the people, and even regarded the people as human beings. The people in the Northeast are living in dire straits and need our compatriots to save them! We welcome them back to the embrace of the motherland from the cruel rule of the Russians! And drive these invaders out of China's land. Are you willing to work with me to fight to regain the Northeast?"
"See the president to the death and follow the president to the death!" Ten thousand people in the audience shouted.
Tang Jian looked at the two eager eyes below, and a feeling of inexplicable emotion suddenly emerged in his heart. He said the same thing during the Battle of Liaodong, but that time Tang Jian failed their expectations. Many young soldiers could not return home, but buried their bones in Liaodong.
This time, Tang Jian will never allow failure. These are all living lives in front of him. Tang Jian cannot let them sacrifice for no reason. Tang Jian knows that in this battle in the Northeast, many people will not be able to return home and will die on the battlefield.
But Tang Jian felt that to make these warriors who were about to die on the battlefield die to the point of death, they sacrificed for the great cause of unifying the motherland and to rescue the people of Northeast China who were trapped in deep water. They are the warriors of the Democratic Republic of China!
Tang Jian didn't want to say anything more, and immediately ordered the entire army to set sail and head north. This time the Yellow Sea Fleet's goal was not Lushun, which had become an airport port, but Vladivostok, Russia's first Far East port, which was Vladivostok.
Tang Jian not only wanted to wipe out the Russian Pacific Fleet that was huddled in the port, but also landed in Vladivostok, captured the Twin Cities, opened up a second battlefield in the northeast, and attacked the Russian army in the northeast on both sides with Nie Shicheng's eastern army!
This time, in order to ensure foolproof, the Yellow Sea Fleet's lineup was extremely powerful, with four Dragon Viagra class battleships, six submarines, ten cruisers, twelve destroyers, gunboats, torpedo boats and other supply ships in total.
In order to cooperate with the tactics, Tang Jian divided the Yellow Sea Fleet into two squads. The first squadron of the Yellow Sea Fleet was headed by the two battleships, Longwei and Longxiao. Its commander was Cheng Biguang (Cheng Biguang also served as the captain of Longwei), and the deputy commander Lu Wenjing (Lu Wenjing was the captain of Longxiao).
The Second Squadron of the Yellow Sea Fleet is headed by the two battleships, Longteng and Long Zhan. Its commander is Ye Zugui (Ye Zugui also serves as the captain of Long Teng), and the deputy commander Sa Zhenbing (Sa Zhenbing is the captain of Long Zhan).
Tang Jianze served as the fleet commander of the Yellow Sea Fleet this time, and unified the command of the two squadrons.
Tang Jian, who boarded the flagship Longwei, immediately issued the order to "set sail".
With the sound of setting sail, large columns of smoke began to rise throughout Weihaiwei Port, and hundreds of white seagulls were circling at low altitude.
The entire Yellow Sea Fleet had a total of more than 50 warships sailing towards the Yellow Sea in a mighty manner. The Huanglong Sword Naval Flag floated above the towering mast. The speed route this time was to go south from the Yellow Sea through the Korean Strait, then go north to enter the Sea of Japan, and finally reach Vladivostok.
When he arrived at the Korean Strait near Tsushima Island, Tang Jian looked from a distance and found that there were dense Japanese plaster flags floating on Tsushima Island.
"What's going on? Why did Tsushima become a Japanese?" Tang Jian asked a combat adviser in the bridge of the Longwei.
This combat staff member has been staying in the Yellow Sea Fleet and is more familiar with the situation above the Yellow Sea, so Tang Jian asked him as soon as he spoke.
The combat adviser replied: "President, this time the regaining of the Northeast, the Russians felt that they were short of troops, so they withdrew some of their troops from northern Korea. Seeing that there was an opportunity, the Japanese launched a large increase in troops from North Korea and went north to receive the Russian territory in North Korea. In order to facilitate the increase in troops, this Twin Island became a transit station for the Japanese to increase their troops into North Korea!"
Tang Jian said angrily: "Young Japan also learns from me to take advantage of the situation. When the Northeast is recovered, the first thing to do is to make Tsushima Island the island of China!"
Chapter completed!
