After hearing Cheng Sheng's determination, Su Rui smiled: "You have a good idea. I didn't bring you here just to let you collide with the Japanese in a warship. Besides, our warships are very precious. They can't survive."
Why are you so wasteful!"
"Ha ha……"
Everyone laughed after hearing Su Rui's funny words. Cheng Sheng also scratched his head in embarrassment, and an embarrassed smile appeared on his originally serious face. Then he asked again: "Sir, I heard
You said you captured three Japanese warships last time, are these the three on the dock?"
"Not bad." Su Rui nodded: "How is it? Is it okay?"
Cheng Sheng asked eagerly: "Are you going to let us control him?"
Su Rui said sternly: "This is natural, otherwise I would put so much effort into poaching you here just for fun?"
"Thank you, sir! We will live up to your expectations and kill the Japanese properly." After hearing that Su Rui promised to hand over the three captured destroyers to his own command, Cheng Sheng happily saluted Su Rui again.
"Well, I have handed over these three warships to you, but you also have to promise me one thing. There are six to seven hundred cadets sent by the Seventh Group Army on these three warships. They have followed the Japanese prisoners on the warships.
I have been studying for several months. But my ancestors also said that people who are not from my race must have different minds. I am just afraid that these Japanese will hold back when teaching them, so I want you to teach them for a while. You see
how is everything?"
Cheng Sheng smiled: "No problem, sir, that's what we do at Qingdao Naval Academy. Don't worry, as long as you give them to us for training for two years, we guarantee that they will all be qualified sailors and officers."
"Two years?" Su Rui shook his head: "Two years is too long. I can only give you one year, because I will have a new warship to hand over to you in one year. I don't want to have a new warship by then.
But no one is driving, can you do it?"
"One year?"
Cheng Sheng couldn't help being shocked. The training at the Naval Academy was no better than that of the Army or even the Air Force. A qualified junior naval officer would need at least three or even five years to study, because from theory to practice, one step at a time
There are too many things to learn. It can be said that without three to five years of training, the transformation from a civilian to a naval officer cannot be completed. Just now Cheng Sheng said that in two years, he was already gritting his teeth and shortening the time.
But Commander Su actually waved his hand and changed the time to one year. Such a short time is not enough.
"No, absolutely not!" Cheng Sheng shook his head like a rattle, "Sir Su, if that's the case, you'd better hire someone else. The cadets of our naval academy all study for five years. But you only gave me one year.
, it is impossible to train a qualified naval officer in such a short time, this is not scientific at all!"
After Cheng Sheng finished speaking, there was silence all around. Even the naval officers and cadets behind Cheng Sheng looked at him with worried eyes. Many people were worried about Cheng Sheng, because the people Cheng Sheng rejected were not ordinary people.
He is the majestic deputy commander of the war zone and commander of the group army. He is his future parents, food, clothing, and clothing. Can't you put it more tactfully? If you threaten him with the excuse of hiring someone else, you are not afraid that he will really kill you in anger.
Tell you to get lost?
Luo Jiawo, who was behind Suri, also had an angry look on his face. In his opinion, this colonel was really disrespectful. His parents kindly equipped him with warships and gave them military pay, so that they could put their knowledge to use.
, but how did he repay his superior? He refused the superior's order with just one unscientific sentence. What did he want to do? This was blatant disobedience! Luo Jia looked at Suri, and he decided. All it took was a look from Suri.
, I immediately dragged this daring guy out and told him to get out.
However, the mood of the person involved at this time, Su Rui, was different from both parties. Su Rui was a little stunned when he heard the three words "unscientific". He didn't know how long it had been, he hadn't heard it for a long time.
This word sounded ridiculing in later generations, but now when he first heard it, he couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
After a long time, Su Ruicai asked with a complicated expression: "Colonel Cheng, do you think the time I gave you is too tight and it is impossible to complete it?"
"Yes!" Cheng Sheng said blankly: "Sir, it's not that I don't obey your orders. It's because the navy is not a quick service at all. Without long-term and detailed training and study, it is impossible to get out of the navy.
A qualified naval officer!"
Suri asked slowly: "What if I insist on ordering this?"
Cheng Sheng said stiffly: "The department has no choice but to say goodbye!"
"Hey..." The officers and cadets behind Cheng Sheng groaned secretly when they heard his words. They finished their thoughts. Once Chief Cheng said these words, his future was probably in doubt.
All eyes were turned to Su Rui, waiting for him to decide the final fate of Cheng Sheng and this group of naval officer cadets.
Su Rui smiled, and then said: "Colonel Cheng, you are very brave. No one has dared to talk to me like this for a long time. Your words are very reasonable, but I still have to reject your opinion."
Hearing this, a look of disappointment appeared on Cheng Sheng's face. He had already foreseen that he would leave here sadly.
Suri continued: "It's not that I'm eager for quick success, or that I'm overjoyed with success, but because the Japanese won't give us this time. Do you know? Just two months ago, the Japanese sent a force including aircraft carriers, battleships,
A task force including heavy cruisers, light cruisers and destroyers came to the coast of Guangdong. They bombed our two ports. Hundreds of soldiers and civilians lost their lives and countless property losses. Finally, they bombed our ports.
Guangzhou port.
Why? Why are the Japanese so rampant? Why are they so unscrupulous? The reason is simple, because our country does not have a decent navy. In order to drive this task force back to Japan, our air force brothers paid a heavy price.
A whole squadron of brothers never came back. Their plane wreckage was scattered in the sea hundreds of kilometers away from here. There was no way to recover their remains. When I was thinking, where is our navy? We
Where is the country’s navy? Why does China, a majestic country with a coastline of more than 18,000 kilometers, not even have a decent fleet? Shame... This is the shame of our country!"
Su Rui's voice suddenly rose several degrees. He looked at the students and shouted loudly: "As the old saying goes, diligence can make up for weakness. In other countries, it takes three to five years to complete a course, but we can take it in one year."
Learn, because I will equip our navy with new battleships in one year, not just destroyers, I will also equip our navy with cruisers and even battleships. By then, you naval officers and cadets will become members of the fleet.
Backbone, in the future we will march eastward to Japan and we will have to rely on you to escort us, do you understand?"
"boom……"
Su Rui's words were like a spoonful of water being thrown into the boiling water, causing smoke and flames to appear, causing a huge response. The students all stirred up, and everyone looked at Su Rui in disbelief.
.Many people showed surprised expressions. Commander Su was really good at bragging. They might believe him a little bit when he said he would equip light cruisers, but when it came to battleships, that was too exaggerated. What is a battleship?
?That is the deterrent force of a country. Can it be obtained casually?
Seeing everyone's gaze, Su Rui did not argue, but waved his hand and said: "Okay, Colonel Cheng, believe it or not, I'm leaving my words to you today. I only give you one year."
At the same time, I will hand over these three destroyers and the trainees on board to you. One year later, I will see them skillfully piloting the warships and sailing in the territorial waters of our motherland. If you ask yourself, can you do it?
Just stay, if you think you can't do it, the exit is over there, just do it yourself!"
Cheng Sheng gritted his teeth, looked at Su Rui, then turned to look at the people behind him, and then said to Su Rui: "Sir Su, can you guarantee that we will have a new warship in a year? I'm not talking about destroyers.
But a cruiser or even a battleship?"
Su Rui smiled faintly, "Don't worry, I, Mr. Su, speak with spit and nail, and I will never break my promise to you!"
A ruthless look flashed across Cheng Sheng's face: "Okay, I'll stay. Even if I stay up all night, I still have to train those bastards."
"Well, that's right." Su Rui smiled and patted Cheng Sheng's shoulder to encourage him, "Don't worry, as long as you can train those bastards well, I guarantee that you will be able to see new ones after a year."
Warships, never break your promise! Now you all can board the ship. From now on, these three warships will be under your control!"
Cheng Sheng was also excited, saluted Su Rui and said loudly: "Sir Xie, I will definitely live up to your expectations, pilot these three warships well, and train more qualified students!"
"Okay, Colonel Cheng, take your officers and cadets to board the ship." Su Rui smiled and made a sign to board the ship.
"Thank you, sir!"
Cheng Sheng thanked him respectfully, and then led the officers and trainees behind him to board the warship docked at the dock.
Seeing these officer cadets boarding the warship enthusiastically, Suri showed a smile of relief on his face and murmured: "It seems that I have to buy more heavy oil from Roosevelt again. It's really nerve-wracking."
ah!"
Luo Jiawo, who had been standing behind Su Rui without speaking, said worriedly in Su Rui's ear: "Sir, are you just going to hand over these warships to those guys from Qingdao?"
