The Rise of the Great Powers in the War of Resistance

Now, what Zhang Yunfei sees is the general design drawing of the first destroyer. The three views of this destroyer are very large, and only a zero-scale drawing can be fully drawn.

Next to Zhang Yunfei, there were not only the top leaders of the No.30 Sixth Army, such as Zuo Qingquan, Deng Wenping, and Fang Zheng, but also the accompanying personnel of the 5th Column, as well as many engineers and technicians from the Qinhuangdao Ship Design Institute. At this time, everyone His face was filled with joy.

Although many of the people here are senior commanders of the army and cannot understand this design drawing, everyone can still roughly see that this is a design drawing of a warship, and they know that this is a destroyer design drawing.

Zhang Yunfei asked the technicians of the Qinhuangdao Ship Design Institute to concentrate on designing destroyers. Everyone knows that there are many senior commanders of the No. 30 Sixth Army.

"Commander-in-Chief, is this the first destroyer we are going to build?" [

Comrade Zuo Qingquan, chief of the general staff, was born in the first stage of Whampoa, but he still doesn't know much about the navy and warships. .

Hearing this, Zhang Yunfei nodded, smiled and said to everyone: "Comrades, this is the design drawing of our first destroyer. Mr. Jackson, please introduce this destroyer to everyone."

Jackson is the chief designer of the Qinhuangdao Ship Design Institute. Jackson is a German Jew. There are many foreigners in the institute, and almost half of the technicians are foreigners. Among these foreigners.Mostly Jewish.

Of course, there are also quite a few Chinese. Among the three deputy chief designers, two are Chinese, and among the rest of the ordinary designers, there are even more Chinese.

As early as the Westernization Movement in the late Qing Dynasty, there were several well-known shipyards across the country.After decades of development, there are still many talents and technicians in shipbuilding.

Such as the more famous Mawei Shipyard, Jiangnan Shipyard, Guangzhou Huangpu Shipyard and so on.There are many experienced technicians and skilled workers in these shipyards, but due to the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War.In addition, the national "government" did not pay attention to it, and the funds invested were also seriously insufficient. In recent years, it has been on the verge of paralysis.

Although none of the engineers and technicians in these shipyards have designed or built warships, at least they all have shipbuilding experience. Many of them have built large ships of several thousand tons.

In just one or two months, the No.30 Sixth Army and William's talent company recruited hundreds of experienced people from all over the country.About talent in ship design and construction.

These talents, together with some excellent college students, totaled 400 to [-] people, forming the current Qinhuangdao Ship Design Institute.

These people are combined together, and these foreigners are all experienced in warship design and manufacturing.In just a month or so, the design sketch of the first warship has been released.

The sketch was designed so quickly, the chief designer Jackson contributed a lot and put a lot of effort into it.

Jackson was once a well-known engineer at the Wilhelmshaven Shipyard in Germany, although he was not the chief engineer.But the engineers who can definitely be ranked in the top ten in the shipyard are typical powerful factions.

Such an excellent and outstanding engineer deserves to be well treated. However, as Hitler came to power and slaughtered a large number of Jews, Jackson was also brutally persecuted. If it wasn't for William's help, he might have entered a Nazi concentration camp.

Jackson, who came to China, was treated very well by the No.30 Sixth Army. After coming to Datong for more than a year, Jackson has not gotten any substantive work, because Jackson is good at warship design. , but every month, Jackson can receive a stipend of 20 yuan, and his life is quite nourishing.

More than two months ago, Fang Zheng, the deputy director of the General Political Department of the No.30 Sixth Army, personally approached Jackson and told Jackson that the No.30 Sixth Army was preparing to develop its first destroyer, and entrusted Jackson with a heavy responsibility.

With the research and development task, Jackson immediately became passionate and rejuvenated, and took out the design drawings of the 1940 destroyer that he had treasured and secretly brought back to China, which had not yet been designed at the Wilhelmshaven Shipyard. Although the drawings are incomplete, after more than a month and with the joint efforts of everyone, the design sketch of the first destroyer was finally completed more than a week ago.

It can be said that this destroyer is a modified version of the 1940-type destroyer that Germany has not yet designed. On this basis, some modifications were added, and some suggestions of Zhang Yunfei were involved. Hundreds of engineers and technicians worked on it for nearly a month. time was completed.

Now, when Zhang Yunfei wanted to introduce himself about the destroyer, Jackson immediately puffed up his chest, his face was full of pride, and began to introduce in fluent German, and the translator next to him immediately translated for everyone at the same time.

"Hi everyone! We designed this destroyer, which can be said to be a destroyer of the same class. In the future, we can manufacture many such destroyers according to this design. This destroyer is called the 'Zhao Yun-class' destroyer according to the instructions of Commander-in-Chief Zhang. This level of destroyer is also our first generation destroyer.” [

For this level of destroyer, Zhang Yunfei adopted the name of the famous general of the Three Kingdoms "Zhao Yun", hoping that this level of destroyer can be as powerful as Zhao Yun.

"This destroyer, size: length 114>

"In addition, according to Commander-in-Chief Zhang's request, a helicopter take-off and landing deck was designed at the stern of the ship, and 6 missile launch tubes were designed on the ship. A radar system will also be installed on the ship,..."

Jackson talked eloquently, and the translator next to him translated accurately. Jackson had been introducing it for almost an hour before he finished introducing the situation of the destroyer.

After hearing this detailed introduction, everyone was excited and thought in their hearts that in the near future, there will be the first warship designed and manufactured by themselves.

After a long time, everyone started to ask questions, expressing a little question in their hearts.

First of all, it was Comrade Zuo Qingquan, the chief of the general staff who asked the question, and the chief of staff Zuo was a little puzzled and said: "Commander-in-chief, according to your request, a position for the missile launching tube has been reserved on the warship, but, as far as I know , We don’t have weapons like missiles yet!”

Hearing this, Zhang Yunfei smiled slightly and said, "Old Zuo, we don't have missiles now, but that doesn't mean we won't have them in the future. The most powerful thing about our design of this destroyer is to equip it with missiles." Without missiles, destroyers have helicopters, radars and missiles, and they will not be inferior to the little devil's cruisers or even battleships."

Hearing this, everyone was slightly moved. Is this destroyer really so powerful?With a displacement of only about [-] tons, can it really face the little devil's cruiser or even a battleship?

Everyone had doubts in their hearts, and looked at Zhang Yunfei in doubt.

Seeing everyone's doubts, Zhang Yunfei explained: "Comrades, I predict that in future naval battles, large-caliber artillery will gradually withdraw from the stage of history. Instead, the attack distance of warships on both sides will also change from the current few nautical miles to more than ten nautical miles or even dozens of nautical miles."

As soon as Zhang Yunfei said this, the left chief of staff was also a little confused, and he couldn't help interjecting: "Commander-in-chief, according to what you said, how can we see each other at such a long distance, and how can we hit each other?"

Chief of Staff Zuo's words seemed to express everyone's aspirations. Everyone looked at Zhang Yunfei intently, expecting Zhang Yunfei's answer.

Seeing this, Zhang Yunfei went on to say: "Comrades! What the Chief of Staff of the Left said was very good just now. In the future naval battles, as the attack distance doubles, there are two problems before us. The first is To be visible, the second is to be able to fight.”

"To solve these two problems, first, we need to rely on our radar. We need to use radar to detect distant enemy warships. Second, we need to rely on our missiles. Our missiles must be able to hit more than ten nautical miles, or even tens of nautical miles. distant goals."

Hearing this, everyone gradually became clear, and everyone thought in their hearts, according to the commander-in-chief, then this kind of destroyer of their own can really fight against the little devil's cruiser or even a battleship.

Just imagine, the little devil's warship was discovered by radar through radar, and then missiles came one by one. The little devil's cruiser and battleship had two to three hundred mm caliber cannons, so what's the use? ?

Thinking of this, everyone looks forward to this destroyer even more.

Looking at everyone's expressions, Zhang Yunfei knew what everyone was thinking, but as a traverser, Zhang Yunfei knew that there were still many problems to be solved in order to successfully manufacture the destroyer just mentioned.

Among these problems, the missile issue is the first to bear the brunt. Although, during this period, missiles have come out, but for the No.30 Sixth Army, the development of missiles is equivalent to drawing a picture on a blank sheet of paper, almost starting from scratch.

As early as two or three months ago, Zhang Yunfei confessed to Fangzheng that he would sort out the engineering and technical personnel registered in the base area. Zhang Yunfei planned to transfer some engineering and technical personnel related to weapon design, physics, chemistry, and missile design and manufacturing in the near future to establish a secret research institute. , to develop missiles.

The rocket technology in the base area is mature, the rocket engine technology is also relatively mature, and there are a group of related engineering and technical personnel, but only relying on these people is still far from the development of missiles. [
