The Rise of the Great Powers in the War of Resistance

Zhang Yunfei stayed in Tianjin Shipyard for several hours, and even carefully looked at the [-]-ton hydraulic press that was disassembled from Japan. The more he looked at it, the happier Zhang Yunfei felt. With this key equipment, Tianjin Shipbuilding The development process of the factory will be greatly accelerated.

Until noon, Zhang Yunfei had no intention of leaving. The director of Tianjin Shipyard had checked his watch several times. It was already past one o'clock at noon. It was not early, and he felt a little hungry. However, Zhang Yunfei There was no intention of eating, so the factory director could only respectfully accompany Zhang Yunfei.

On the contrary, one of Zhang Yunfei's personal guards saw that it was almost past lunch time, so he carefully reminded: "Chief! It is already 01:30 noon."

"Oh" Zhang Yunfei looked at the time, and sure enough it was 01:30, Zhang Yunfei patted his head lightly, then smiled and said: "Look, everyone, I actually forgot the time when I was happy, let's go, let's not watch , go eat first."

The accompanying people around also laughed kindly, "Chairman Zhang" looked amiable, and everyone no longer felt nervous. [

Seeing this, the director of Tianjin Shipyard said immediately, "Boss! We have prepared meals in our factory, shall we go to eat now?"

Zhang Yunfei smiled and asked: "Director Chen, you are not extravagant and wasteful! You must follow our system and strictly control the dining standards, otherwise we will not be able to afford it!"

"Don't worry, chief, strictly follow the standard, four dishes and one soup."

After Zhang Yunfei came to power, he has introduced a series of anti-corruption policies.Sangong consumption is one of the key points, currently.The higher-level departments came down to inspect, and they had to pay for their own meals. The entire "government" department did not have a budget for public consumption.

For example, Zhang Yunfei inspected the Tianjin Shipyard this time. If he had a working lunch at the Tianjin Shipyard at noon, he had to pay at the market price after eating. There was no free lunch.The money.They were all issued by Zhang Yunfei personally.

Zhang Yunfei has always believed that without a clean "government", it is impossible to realize his dream of a great power rising.

Zhang Yunfei and his party came to the restaurant led by Director Chen. When Zhang Yunfei saw the prepared meals on the table, Zhang Yunfei couldn't help but nodded in approval.

The standard four dishes and one soup, two meat, one vegetarian and one soup, very common dishes.It's just done very finely, and the taste should be good. Besides, there are some rice and steamed buns on the side.

After Zhang Yunfei sat down, everyone sat down, four people at each table.Zhang Yunfei specially asked Director Chen of Tianjin Shipyard to sit down next to him. This made Director Chen very flattered, and Director Chen sat down gently.

Zhang Yunfei looked at the food on the table and felt that he was indeed a bit hungry, so Zhang Yunfei picked up a bun.He took a light bite and went down with one bite.Zhang Yunfei feels that the taste is soft, fresh and not greasy.

Zhang Yunfei took a bite of the steamed stuffed bun, and couldn't help laughing: "Director Chen, this steamed stuffed bun shouldn't be made by your cafeteria, right?"

Factory Manager Chen said respectfully: "Boss, you are really good. This is the famous 'Tianjin Goubuli Steamed Bun'. We bought it specially from outside."

No wonder it tastes good.

Zhang Yunfei took a bite of the steamed stuffed bun and saw that no one moved their chopsticks, so he immediately said, "Everyone eats, just one for each of us, everyone should try the famous 'Tianjin Goubuli Steamed Bun'."

There are not many buns on the table, four for each table, exactly one for each person.

Zhang Yunfei finished his steamed stuffed bun and ate another bowl of white rice. During the meal, Zhang Yunfei also explained some things to Factory Manager Chen. The first is to pay close attention to the production of 1000-ton landing ships, put them into production at full capacity, and deliver them to the troops as soon as possible.

The second is to pay close attention to the production of large transport ships. In the morning, Zhang Yunfei saw the 6000-ton transport ship that has been designed. Although Zhang Yunfei made some suggestions, overall, Zhang Yunfei is very satisfied. It's ready to start manufacturing in no time.

The third is to start designing light aircraft carriers. Considering that Tianjin Shipyard has no experience in designing and manufacturing aircraft carriers, Zhang Yunfei began to prepare to start with light aircraft carriers. After the experience and technology are further matured, he will consider the design and manufacture of large aircraft carriers. .

At present, the [-]-ton hydraulic press has been installed and debugged, and some large forgings required by aircraft carriers can also be produced, which is no longer a problem in terms of production equipment, let alone only light aircraft carriers. [

Director Chen naturally recorded the things Zhang Yunfei explained carefully one by one, and ensured that the tasks assigned by the head were completed excellently.

Zhang Yunfei saw that Director Chen was full of confidence, and Zhang Yunfei was quite satisfied. Finally, Zhang Yunfei specifically proposed that if there were any problems in the design and manufacturing process, he could raise them to the central government. Zhang Yunfei agreed to do his best to solve them for everyone.

After receiving the promise from Zhang Yunfei, Director Chen and other high-level executives of the Tianjin Shipyard all had happy faces, and at the same time secretly made up their minds that they must live up to Chairman Zhang's expectations and complete Chairman Zhang's work within the fastest possible time. assigned tasks.

It was more than three o'clock in the afternoon after the inspection of the Tianjin Shipyard. After Zhang Yunfei finished his inspection work, he immediately returned to Beiping and came to the Ministry of National Defense to pay attention to the latest battle situation.

Zhang Yunfei is so eager to go to the Ministry of National Defense, not only because several major armies of his own have occupied Shimonoseki City in Honshu, Japan, and the major armies are advancing deeply into Honshu, Japan. More importantly, Zhang Yunfei wants to learn more about the latest developments in the Pacific War. Condition.

More than ten days ago, the main force of the Japanese navy and the US Navy broke out in the famous Solomon Islands sea battle. Japan and the United States have concentrated a large number of aircraft carriers and battleships. Currently, the Solomon Islands sea battle is entering a climax.

Two months ago, in order to cut off the connection between the United States and Australia, Japan attacked the Solomon Islands and Port Moresby one after another. The Japanese navy covered the army's operations. naval battle.

In this naval battle, Japan lost a light aircraft carrier and two other aircraft carriers were severely damaged, while the United States lost the USS Lexington and the USS Yorktown was injured.The Japanese army failed to achieve its strategic objectives and the attack on Port Moresby was contained.

The Solomon Islands naval battle took place more than a month after the Port Moresby naval battle, and it was another large-scale naval battle.

Prior to this, the Japanese navy and the U.S. military had already fought the Battle of Midway Island, and the Battle of the Lomon Islands was the third large-scale naval battle between the two sides.

The Battle of Midway was caused by the U.S. aircraft carrier USS Hornet under the command of Vice Admiral Halsey, carrying 16 B-25 medium-sized bombers to bomb Tokyo, Kobe and other places in Japan. Although the losses were minimal, it stimulated Japanese nerves.The Japanese believed the planes were from Midway, and launched the Battle of Midway hastily.

During the naval battle of Midway Island, the Japanese army was scattered, underestimating the US military, and the command was chaotic. They were successfully raided by the US military and lost three elite aircraft carriers within 5 minutes. Successfully damaged the USS "Yorktown" aircraft carrier, but was also sunk by the carrier-based aircraft that followed.

Later, the US military began a partial counter-offensive, landing on Guadalcanal Island in the Solomon Islands, and launched a long-term battle.Around the competition for Guadalcanal Island, Japan and the United States conducted more than 20 large and small naval battles within a month, including six large-scale naval battles. Both sides lost more than 3300 combat ships above destroyers. The U.S. Navy killed about 2500 people and injured about 2; the casualties of the Japanese Navy were as high as [-]>

Now, the battle for Guadalcanal is over, and the large-scale naval battle between Japan and the United States has been going on for more than ten days. The Japanese army has concentrated all its aircraft carriers, almost all battleships and cruisers.

When Zhang Yunfei came to the Ministry of National Defense, a major general in the war room introduced to Zhang Yunfei in detail the latest situation of the Solomon Islands naval battle collected by China. The senior officials of the Ministry of National Defense accompanied Zhang Yunfei respectfully and listened carefully. Report on the situation of the major general.

At present, the battle is entering a climax, but the losses of the Japanese army are much greater than those of the US military. Just the aircraft, the number of aircraft shot down by the Japanese army has reached more than 500, while the loss of the US military aircraft is only about [-].

In addition, the Japanese army lost a total of 24 warships and 16 transport ships, including several battleships and cruisers.

Not only did the Japanese navy and aviation suffer heavy losses, but even the army, which had never lost a war since the start of the war, and the most elite 2nd Division also suffered huge losses, especially the loss of large Japanese warships, aircraft, and skilled and well-trained pilots. , It is difficult for the Japanese army to make up for it.

After listening to the report, Zhang Yunfei was determined. If nothing unexpected happened, the naval battle in the Solomon Islands would end with the victory of the US military.

If the defeat of the Japanese army at the Midway Island Battle was a turning point in the entire Pacific War, and the war situation began to develop against Japan and favor the United States, then the Battle of Guadalcanal and the Battle of the Solomon Islands were the beginning of the demise of the Japanese Navy.

Zhang Yunfei knew that if nothing else happened, after the defeat in the Solomon Islands sea battle, the Japanese navy would not only be unable to regain the strategic initiative, but would eventually lose the strategic initiative as its military strength was weakened step by step, thus falling into complete passiveness. situation.From then on, the Japanese army had to switch from strategic offense to strategic defense, fortified everywhere, and was passive at every step until they were defeated.

Zhang Yunfei sighed: "Japan will definitely be defeated in the sea battle of the Solomon Islands this time. Once Japan is defeated, the strength of the Japanese navy will be greatly weakened. I think that the US military may reach the Japanese mainland in a few months. We have to It is necessary to pay close attention to the advancement in Japan.”[

Therefore, Zhang Yunfei began to order the Ministry of National Defense to step up military operations in Japan and strive to occupy the entire territory of Japan before the US military landed in Japan.
