Chapter 51 The Aircraft Carrier China
Tang Jian said playfully: "Mr. Lenin, you are treasoning the country. In order to overthrow your country's own legal politics, he actually cedes land at the cost of cede."
Lenin did not expect Tang Jian to say such words. Isn’t this condition rich enough? A sense of ominousness arose in Lenin’s heart, but Lenin was unwilling to give up. The Russian Revolution was imperative, otherwise Russia would eventually become a second-rate country, adding to the hardships of European countries and the lives of the Russian people, which Lenin would never want to see.
Lenin said: "President Tang Jian, I sincerely promise that the victory of the Bolshevik revolution will definitely bring great benefits to your country."
Tang Jian smiled and said, "Mr. Lenin, I didn't say I wouldn't help you. The conditions you offered were very generous, enough to make me moved. But I personally think that your behavior seems to be equivalent to treason."
Lenin laughed silently. He didn't expect that what Tang Jian said was like. Lenin said: "Mr. Tang Jian, every truth was born, it would be considered fallacies by the society at that time. Just like Aristotle, Galileo and others, but I believe that the social system promoted by the Bolsheviks is about harmony. I don't know what everyone knows. Just be superior. Time will be the best proof of the treason you mentioned. Didn't President Tang Jian say that he was treason by many people when he resisted Yuan Shikai? In addition, no matter what he does, he has to pay a price. My current behavior is to sell the country or treason, but I believe that the price I paid is worth it. I use a small part of the territory to exchange for a superior social system, so that thousands of Russian serfs can turn over and live a happy life. Even if I bear the eternal infamy, I am willing."
Lenin's words shocked Tang Jian. Tang Jian even felt that he had found a soulmate at that moment. Tang Jian felt that he and Lenin seemed to be the same person and had the same dream. Tang Jian had the urge to support Lenin with all his strength, but after a moment, the urge to overcome in the end was to overcome the national interests, and his personal likes, dislikes and loves seemed a bit insignificant.
Tang Jian stood up, held Lenin's hand and said, "Mr. Lenin, I promise you that after the success of your country's revolution, you can immediately fulfill your promise you made here today."
Lenin was overjoyed: "Of course, once the Russian Revolution is successful, we will definitely double the price paid by China."
"If you want to discuss the specific matters, you can talk to our Prime Minister. What I want to say is that China will support at least 50,000 rifles and one million bullets. In addition, if the funds are funded, China will provide 80 million Chinese coins, equivalent to 100 million US dollars. Of course, these funds will be provided to your country's Bolsheviks in batches within five years."
"Thank you so much, my respected President Tang Jian." Lenin gave Tang Jian a warm hug
In any case, Tang Jian's deal was only profitable and not lost. The area of the three northeastern provinces has doubled. Moreover, Siberia is indeed rich in minerals, which has great benefits for China's heavy industry.
The European war is about to break out, and the First World War is not far away. With the support of Tang Jian, Lenin will inevitably overthrow the rule of Tsarist Russia. By then, the vast Russia will fall into a civil war. Whether China will participate in the war will be decided based on the actual situation. China has made preparations and is fully capable of protecting itself in the First World War and taking the opportunity to seek additional benefits.
If China participates in the war and Russia is in a civil war, Russia will have no time to look east, then China's vast northern border will be extremely safe. Tang Jian can also take advantage of the Russian civil war to develop Siberia along the Siberian Railway and seize the rich mineral resources on the Siberian plains.
After seeing Lenin off, Tang Jian immediately called Wuhan Airport to prepare for the airport. This afternoon, Tang Jian will fly to Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau for inspection, and then will fly to Huangyan Island. On Huangyan Island, Tang Jian will be in charge of command of the South China Sea Fleet to cooperate with the Air Force to seize Luzon. At this time, four months have passed since the signing of the Guam Treaty.
Above the Pacific Ocean, the Pacific Fleet not only did not evacuate from Hawaii, but also anchored all the main warships in China except the South China Sea Fleet in Pearl Harbor. At the same time, on Oahu Island in Hawaii, China's largest air force base above the Pacific Ocean has been completed, and there are also 3,000 Marines stationed nearby, with nearly 10,000 troops. In the southeast coastal area of China, more than 200,000 Chinese Army are ready to go to the Pacific at any time.
Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau
When Tang Jian came to Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau by plane, China's first aircraft carrier had been launched on the water test. The aircraft carrier transformed from a dreadnought had a total displacement of 23,000 tons, which was an attack aircraft carrier. It was equipped with a 305-caliber main gun with a caliber and several other secondary guns on the hull.
Due to the limitations of aircraft technology, the entire aircraft carrier uses "slide jumping". There is a "jumping platform" at the front end of the deck of the aircraft carrier to help the aircraft take off. This "jumping platform" actually makes the end of the deck a slope upward, forming an inclined throwing motion
This takeoff method is relatively simple, just suitable for the second-generation aircraft in China. During the takeoff process, the aircraft carrier must sail against the wind of more than 20 knots to help the aircraft take off. Although the takeoff and landing efficiency is not as high as that of later aircraft carriers, it is already a great improvement for the history of the world's naval history.
A type of combat method will be developed in China. To a certain extent, aircraft will no longer be affected by combat radius. In naval battles, they will no longer be limited to the air bombing of warships between the two armies. The emergence of aircraft carriers will pose a fatal air threat to the enemy.
At least now, the navies of various countries around the world have not yet equipped high-short guns on top of warships. That is to say, after the emergence of the Chinese aircraft carrier, they are in a "invincible" state for a certain period of time. No warship in the world can withstand the heavy bombing of aircraft.
Of course, this "invincible" state is relative. Under the protection of aircraft carrier frigates, China's aircraft carriers are not afraid of threats on the sea. However, since Tang Jian commanded the submarine of the Kuroo Dragon to show his power in Sasebo, the navies of various countries immediately stepped up the development of submarines suitable for undersea combat.
Among them, the U-type submarine built with Germany imitating the Chinese submarine dragon submarine is relatively advanced. Even if it is much behind China's second-generation submarine dragon-class submarine, it is enough to pose a threat to the Chinese naval surface ships, especially aircraft carriers with slightly fragile attack power. In this case, there is a requirement for the anti-submarine warfare technology.
At this time, Tang Jian and Tian Arden were riding on a torpedo boat. After following the China Aircraft Carrier in the sea, between the blue sea and blue sky, a strange giant ship was riding on the wind and breaking the sea. Several aircraft were hovering at low altitude, adjusting their altitude with the roar of the engine, and landing safely on the deck of the aircraft carrier.
On the torpedo boat, Tian Arden said: "President, although we lost five aircraft and five pilots in the previous few tests, after obtaining corresponding data improvements, the chance of safe takeoff and landing of the aircraft carrier has increased to 90%."
Tang Jian nodded and said, "For the first generation of aircraft carriers, such data is already very good. By the way, I have already chosen the name of this aircraft carrier, and it is called the China."
Tian Aden said: "The China represents the Chinese nation to promote the prestige of China. It is a good name president. I want you to recommend someone. In the development of aircraft carriers and submarines, this person plays a great role and is a rare talent in China. Even Ouyang Yanqing praised him."
"Oh, who is it?" Tang Jian was very curious. This person must be not simple to be favored by Tian Aden and Ouyang Yanqing at the same time.
"He's on the boat," Tian Aden smiled and said, "Shijie, come here."
A young man with glasses walked up to Tang Jian. He looked only in his twenties, with an ordinary appearance, but his whole body was extraordinary. The young man said: "Wei Shijie, an acoustic technical engineer at Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau, met with the president."
Tang Jian smiled and said, "Are you doing acoustics?"
"Yes, President" Wei Shijie said in a humble and arrogant manner.
Tian Arden said: "Shijie returned from studying in the UK, mainly studying acoustics at the University of Great Britain in the UK. President, you know that I am not very familiar with acoustics. The sonar system and radar system installed on aircraft carriers are mainly completed by Wei Shijie."
Tang Jian looked at Wei Shijie with appreciation and said, "Why do you practice acoustics?"
Wei Shijie replied: "A few years ago, I studied at the Fuzhou Naval Academy. Given that my country's aircraft, submarines and ships have developed rapidly, these weapons have a fatal flaw. After I discovered this flaw, I worked hard to practice acoustics in order to make up for these flaws."
"Oh, what are the flaws?" Tang Jian asked curiously. Since China attached importance to education, it has opened up its words and there are more and more talents in China. This is a great thing for China.
Wei Shijie replied: "When the two armies fight, whoever takes the initiative will win half of the victory. However, in our army, whether it is the navy or the air force, most of them observe the enemy with their eyes and listen to the situation of the war, which greatly reduces the combat effectiveness of our army. If our army has a pair of clairvoyances and wind ears, then we can have an incomparable advantage in future operations and use acoustics to transform radar and sonar, which is the clairvoyances and wind ears of our army above and below the sea."
While Tang Jian and Wei Shijie were talking, several aircraft hovering at low altitudes had all landed safely on the USS China aircraft carrier, which means that the USS China aircraft carrier will be officially put into service and will be incorporated into the Pacific Fleet, adding huge combat power to the Pacific Fleet
