"Uncle, you came to Mingzhu this time just to meet a few of us, right?"
After pouring a cup of tea for Xue Anyuan, Xue Laosan leaned on his chair, crossed his legs and rested on Lao Huai, looking very relaxed.
Xue Anyuan knew he was joking and said with a smile: "What's so good about you kid? I just stopped by to see my good daughter!"
Xue Laosan said: "Even if it's just a way, there must be something serious. If I guess correctly, you are here this time for the East China Sea Fleet, right?"
Xue Anyuan knew that his nephew had an extraordinary mind, so he didn't bother to ask him how he knew it. He nodded with a smile and directly told the cause and effect.
It turns out that it is still related to the negotiations on Hong Kong Island. Although the Central Committee and the British in Hong Kong have talked several times and signed many so-called agreements, the art of war says that you should be invincible first and then wait for the enemy to be victorious. The chance of victory or defeat will always be
It's best to keep the palm in your own hands. In short, when you strike, you have to harden yourself.
While our army is invincible in land warfare, its shortcoming is still the navy, which has been weak for centuries. Coinciding with the current battle for Hong Kong Island, the military's attention has naturally shifted to the navy.
Xue Anyuan is in charge of the Ministry of National Defense and is also in charge of military innovation matters. The plan to revitalize coastal defense naturally fell into his hands. He came to Mingzhu this time to inspect the East China Sea Fleet, which was about to be revitalized, and the transfer of Wei Dinghuang a few months ago also
Just prepared for today.
"Building an aircraft carrier?"
Xue Laosanmi took a sip of tea and suddenly said something shocking.
clang!
Xue Anyuan stretched out his hand and gave it to him, "How can we just joke about national affairs?"
Xue Xiang pouted, "If you ask me, it's better not to bother. No matter what, Hong Kong Island will come this time. Those small cruisers and coastal defense ships are enough for us now. Let's train naval officers first, especially
It’s the aircraft carrier aviation!”
Xue Xiang's previous words were naturally a joke. Little did he know that building an aircraft carrier is almost impossible for the Republic today, let alone the present. Even thirty years later, the Republic will only have an aircraft carrier. It is still a second-hand foreign product.
The realization of self-creation is still far away.
In fact, even if the country can buy aircraft carriers at this time, I am afraid that the huge amount of maintenance and maintenance expenses will not be affordable by the current Republic.
But since aircraft carriers are like myths to the current republic, why does Xue Xiang still advise to cultivate aircraft carrier aviation? Of course, when it comes to this, it must be mentioned that aircraft carrier aviation is different from the air force in the ordinary sense, because the area of the aircraft carrier
For land apron
The area is small in any comparison. In addition, an aircraft carrier usually has dozens of aircraft. Takeoff, landing, including parking, all have extremely strict and precise requirements. The training of such high-end pilots,
Of course it doesn't happen overnight.
In addition, at this time, there was no formal naval officer school in the country. Even the Bengbu naval officer school in later generations would not be built until four years later. The strength and creation of the navy were definitely not due to the number of aircraft carrier battle groups.
It can be done. The leader said it well. The most critical factor in war is people, and the same is true for a prosperous navy.
The reason why Xue Xiang advised Xue Anyuan that there is no need to build more small ships is because no matter how many small ships there are, it is difficult to form a strategic advantage. The existing two small fleets are enough to protect the family. After all, in the next few decades, there will be no more small ships.
In a major external war, we should save as much as possible and use good steel on the blade, which is the right way.
Xue Anyuan pondered for a long time and sighed: "You have such a mouth, you are a first-class critic. You just think that all the princes are fools. Small ships should be built. If they are not built, will it be possible for the few remaining shipyards to be destroyed?"
If it cannot be scrapped, the shipbuilding technology still needs to be improved in practice, and buying it all the time is not the answer."
After Xue Anyuan finished speaking, Xue Xiang was silent, because he knew that what his uncle said was the truth. Wasn't the machinery manufacturing industry in the later republics corrupted by the bureaucratic thinking of "it is better to make than to imitate, and to imitate is better to buy"?
Xue An saw his nephew's silence and said leniently: "What you said about setting up a naval officer school gave me a wake-up call. I will report this matter to the Military Commission and discuss it carefully. In short, I need a bite to eat."
Stutter, take your time, the navy will not become strong overnight."
Xue Xiang nodded and ended the topic, and then asked about the situation of Kang Tong, Li Hongjun, Liu Yuanchao, Sun Qianjin and others.
To say that these guys have entered Lingnan is like entering their own territory. Contact should be frequent and easy. However, once these guys entered Lingnan, they were as deep as the sea. There was not even a single phone call. Xue Xiangde also met Kang Tong.
It was the same time when I was arresting South Korean fraudster Park Sung-sung in Xiaoshan, I shouted from a distance on the helicopter.
The other Li Hongjun people even disappeared. It was the critical moment of Xue Laosan's wedding, and there was no news about these guys. This time, when they met Xue Anyuan, Xue Xiang naturally had to ask about them.
Xue Anyuan said: "It's all good. Anyway, he looks better than you. If I ask you to be a soldier but you don't, and you won't be thrown into blood and fire three times, is he still a good man?"
Xue Anyuan didn't say these words, but instead expressed the obsession in his heart. After all, he still felt regretful that Xue Xiang had not joined the army. After all, his Xue family could be regarded as a family of generals from his generation.
, all three Xue Anyuan brothers joined the army, even Xue Xiang's late father Xue Dingyuan also participated in the war and changed his career. But when it was Xue Xiang's turn, no one of his generation joined the army, which naturally made Xue Anyuan regretful.
Hearing Xue Anyuan's words, Xue Xiang would not imitate Han Qi, the famous prime minister in the Northern Song Dynasty, who scolded the famous general Di Qing and said, "The good men are the ones parading around the streets with hairpins outside Donghua Gate," but he had to stop the topic.
The uncle and nephew met again after a long absence. Taking advantage of the gentle breeze in the small courtyard of the setting sun, they had a good conversation. This conversation actually lasted for more than three hours, and the two of them were still in high spirits.
Until Xue Xiang suddenly spoke up and asked about the situation in the capital, Xue Anyuan's brows suddenly wrinkled and his face turned dark. After a long time, he sighed and said: "Lao San, don't get involved in this matter. It's you who are involved."
I can't afford to reconcile. I know that both parties are very kind to us, and you have always thought highly of yourself, but I am not qualified for this matter, so please stop meddling in it, and you don't understand!"
Xue Anyuan taught earnestly, with an extremely serious look on his face. Xue Xiangxin sighed and nodded heavily in response.
In fact, based on his experience in previous generations and reading the latest major domestic newspapers, he had already felt the taste. He asked now just to confirm. After all, Xue Anyuan is at the highest peak.
After confirming the news, he was still a little lonely. After all, history had no twists and turns. Fortunately, there were only slight cracks and it was not irreversible.
Of course, Xue Laosan will never be naive enough to think that he can make a difference in this important matter. What he hopes for is purely the butterfly effect of his arrival in this world, hoping that he can finally deflect the final outcome slightly.
When this matter was involved, both of them lost interest in continuing the conversation. Just then, the little guy woke up, hugged Xiaobai, and rushed out of the hall.
"Guys, we haven't cooked yet. What time is it? Isn't Brother Yang coming to have dinner later?"
As soon as the little guy finished speaking, Xue Xiang quickly looked up his watch. Sure enough, it was already past five o'clock. It was sunny and bright today, so people didn't realize it was already midnight.
Because it was a family dinner, Xue Xiangzi couldn't suggest going out to eat. Besides, with Xue Anyuan's current status, he couldn't do anything lightly. Take this moment, it seemed like he and Xue Xiang were chatting in the courtyard. In fact,
In front of and behind the house, within a radius of tens of meters, there were countless guards hidden.
Since it is inconvenient to go out, this dinner naturally has to be held at home. Fortunately, although the fire is not often fired at home, the kitchen is fully equipped with all the utensils. In addition, President Liu has returned, and there are many more home appliances in the house, including German ones.
There are only two in the refrigerator, and there are a lot of vegetables and ingredients in them. It is definitely more than enough to prepare a dinner.
Xue Laosan hasn't cooked for a long time, but his lifelong skills are still there. He moves his hands together, and his speed is naturally amazing. Within five minutes of Xue Yang's arrival at home, more than ten dishes were placed on an Eight Immortals table. At 6:10, a meal
A hearty and delicious dinner is ready.
After eating, the three brothers and sisters of the Xue family sat with Xue Anyuan for a while. After watching the news broadcast, Xue Anyuan stood up to leave. The little guy kept pestering him with a sad face for a long time. Xue Xiang tried to persuade her, but she didn't listen.
, and a bunch of conditions were promised before they were allowed to go.
Xue Xiang knew that Xue Anyuan was busy with domestic affairs and had multiple jobs after all. I am afraid that this afternoon's small gathering was also the time that Xue Anyuan squeezed out.
After Xue Anyan left, Xue Yang sat for a while and finally left at around eight o'clock.
After sending Xue Yuan away and cleaning up the mess in the house, Xue Xiang went to the kitchen to heat water, filled two bottles, and asked the little one to take a bath.
After washing the little guy, Xue Xiang got off the cool bed in the courtyard early, and the little guy took a bath. It seemed that even the sadness about his uncle's departure had been washed away. Dian Dian'er hugged Xiao Bai Zuan.
She got into bed, laughing and joking, and began to threaten Xue Xiang to tell her stories.
Now the little one has become a half-grown girl. Those stories about Snow White can no longer scare her, but the storytelling program has always been retained. But after a few years, the stories in Xue Xiang's mind have long since ceased to frighten her.
After running out of money, he even made up his own stories to cope with it. However, making up stories took a lot of brainpower, and Xue Laosan was unspeakable.
But no matter who has absolute hegemony, no matter how painful it is, this story has to go on. Occasionally, Xue Laosan was forced to do nothing. Suddenly he saw the complete works of Jin Yong thick on his pillow. It was a life-saving straw at that time.
She picked out a movie and talked about it for a while, and the little girl couldn't stand reading anymore. She became obsessed with it and asked Xue Xiang to tell her this martial arts talk every day.
Fortunately, Xue Xiang did not classify Jin Yong's martial arts as a mess of books. Xue Laosan only relied on "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" for a full year.
The slanting moon crescent hung on the treetops, and the stars shone brightly in the Milky Way. With a clang, Xue Laosan tapped his fingers on the bamboo bed, which served as the storyteller's gavel, "Speaking of which, Guo Jing just arrived at Peach Blossom Island..."
