Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 754 Chinese Atlantic Fleet

With such an astonishing speed of development, its purpose is obvious, that is to expand to the world with super powerful naval forces. After becoming the king of the forest, the lion of China is planning to get out of the forest!

If this is the case, the UK will watch the benefits that the empire plundered from all over the world in the past be taken into the pocket by China in one fell swoop. Will the British be reconciled?
The British couldn't sit still, and the Minister of the Navy issued an order for shipyards across the country to run at full capacity and vigorously produce aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft.However, in mid-June 1913, even more terrifying news came from China. China was developing a sea giant with a capacity of more than 6 tons. Develop the same warship as soon as possible.The British have fallen into a terrible cycle since then, but it is what China hopes to see. They have invested most of their military expenditures in the development and production of new naval weapons, in order to achieve their so-called naval strategic goals , They almost fell into a crazy state for the development of the navy.

Guan Xuqing's goal has been achieved, he just wants to make Britain like this. In fact, China has no intention of working hard on the tonnage of the aircraft carrier. Chinese military experts are busy day and night with new types of carrier weapons. Once these weapons are successfully equipped, Even aircraft carriers and battleships are hard to resist.What's more, with the current national strength of the British, all of them are invested in military power. Sooner or later, they will be dragged into the quagmire by this round of arms race, unable to extricate themselves.Let the British develop aircraft carriers desperately. When the new weapons of the empire come out, they will only be dumbfounded.Of course, new aircraft carriers and battleships still need to be built. After all, no one has any idea how far the empire’s aircraft carrier battle group will develop within a few years. Therefore, Wusong, Dalian, and Guangzhou will still focus on building aircraft carriers and developing battleships. In fact, the main task of Mawei Shipyard is submarines, while Huludao and Qinhuangdao, together with Hainan Shipyard, which not many people know, put all their energy into the development of shipborne weapons.

late July.The first aircraft carrier of the third generation of the Chinese Empire was officially launched.On the day of the official sea trial of the aircraft carrier, Guan Xuqing traveled thousands of miles to Hainan to witness the beginning of an era with his own eyes.

"What's the name of this aircraft carrier?" Guan Xuqing pointed to the huge monster on the sea and asked, "And what about its performance?"

Liu Buchan, Governor of the Navy, said like a few treasures: "This is the first third-generation aircraft carrier in the empire. It has a full-load displacement of 332.9 tons and an empty-load displacement of 11.3 tons. It has a total length of 2 meters and an average draft of 4 meters. In the power plant On the one hand, there are 4 internal combustion engines, 30 steam turbines, and 3184 emergency diesel engines. The speed is above 203 knots. The crew onboard is 2800, including 366 officers, and the aviation wing is 70, including 25 officers. The formation headquarters 1 people, including 2 officers. The most powerful thing is his weapons and equipment, including 3 "Sun-shooting" air defense missile system, 324 "Phalanx" melee weapon systems, 3 20mm triple-mounted torpedo launch systems, Its defense system can be described as quite powerful. The "sun-shooting" missile guided by radar is a short-range missile that can attack aircraft and intercept enemy airborne bombs. The aircraft carrier's short-range artillery system has automatic search and targeting radar, and 3000mm short-range artillery The system can fire more than 3 shells per minute, which can effectively defend against short-range attacks from enemy aircraft and bombs. The aircraft carrier is also equipped with a two-dimensional air search radar, 4 fire control systems, and [-] radar electronic surveillance systems. But the name hasn't been chosen yet, please ask the emperor to order it."

Guan Xuqing thought for a while and said: "According to the sorting names set at the beginning, the first generation is the Xia class, the second generation is the Shang class, and the third generation is naturally the Zhou class. The specific names can be named after the four famous mountains in China. The flagship is Mount Tai, followed by Huangshan, Lushan, and Hengshan."

Liu Buchan said with a smile: "This name is much more prestigious than the names of other countries." With the siren beeping, the Taishan slowly left the pier and headed for the sea.In the middle of the sea, floating a heavy cruiser used as an experiment.Immediately afterwards, everyone on the shore saw several planes take off from the flight deck of the Taishan through the binoculars and flew towards the target heavy cruiser.

When flying over the cruiser, several planes dropped heavy bombs on the target in turn. At the same time, the ship-borne missiles and artillery rushed towards each other with long red flames. The cruiser was hit one after another. In less than 20 minutes, In no time, the heavy cruiser that was the target sank into the sea.

Everyone on the shore except Guan Xuqing and Liu Buchan looked dumbfounded. What a terrifying attack method. In front of this new type of aircraft carrier, perhaps the enemy warships have no room to resist at all.

"Bu Wu, how's it going? Now you know why I attach so much importance to the development of aircraft carriers." Guan Xuqing said to Xu Shichang quite proudly.

Xu Shichang put down the binoculars and said with a click of his tongue: "It's terrible, it's really terrible! But I still think that the final decision of the war lies in the army."

"You're right, but modern warfare cannot be won by just one arm. The most important thing is the ability of several arms to fight together. However, I still think that the third-generation aircraft carrier is not perfect yet, and we have to continue to improve. There is still a long way to go for the military development of the empire." Guan Xuqing sighed slightly and continued: "At present, this is our secret weapon, and it will never be used unless it is time for a decisive battle at sea. I will not let the enemy take any precautions. time!"

Seeing the amazed voices all around, Guan Xuqing's expression became serious: "Listen, this is a first-class secret of the empire. Anyone who dares to reveal a word about this, I will show no mercy."

After inspecting the Taishan aircraft carrier and the Hainan Shipyard, Guan Xuqing took this opportunity to gather the generals of the Imperial Navy together and officially announced the order to establish the three main naval fleets of the Chinese Empire. From now on, the Atlantic Fleet and the Pacific Fleet of the Chinese Empire will be established. and the South Sea Fleet.

The composition of the three fleets is as follows: Commander-in-Chief of the Atlantic Fleet: Lin Taizeng, Chief of Staff: Fang Boqian.There are seven main fleets, with Xu Shoushan, Qiu Baoren, Zheng Wencheng, Huang Jianxun, Shen Youheng, Li Dazhang, and Huang Xuan as the fleet commanders.

Commander-in-Chief of the Pacific Fleet: Ye Zugui, Chief of Staff: Lin Yongsheng.There are five fleets under it, with Chen Jinrong, Zheng Puquan, He Xinchuan, Lu Han, and Lin Guoxiang as the fleet commanders.

Commander-in-Chief of the South China Sea Fleet: Sa Zhenbing, Chief of Staff: Chen Shaokuan.There are four fleets under it, with Chen Ce, Lin Luzhong, Yang Yonglin, and Lin Tongshu as the fleet commanders.

Under the three fleets, there are intelligence agency, training agency, munitions agency, logistics agency and office.

At this point, the Imperial Navy has completed its global strategic deployment, and the three main fleets will penetrate into every corner of the world like a trident.

Guan Xuqing's emphasis on the navy has reached an unbelievable level, because he knows that if China wants to rule the world in the future, the most reliable reliance is the navy.

"Your Majesty, there is news from Beijing." Feng Xianghua hurried over: "Princess Ginny has completely fallen into our trap, and our anti-espionage plan has achieved initial success."

"Tell me in detail, how is Ginny doing?" Guan Xuqing still attached great importance to this matter.

Feng Xianghua replied: "From what we have so far, Ginny has sent dozens of pieces of information to China, most of which were provided by Zhao Bingjun. In order to make her fully believe in the authenticity of the information, we sacrificed several A foreign agent in the UK. Of course, false information accounts for the majority. The British are desperately developing the navy, even to the point where they don’t care about the cost. It won’t take long for the British economy to be completely dragged down. At present, the voice of opposition from the British people is very strong. There are demonstrations and violent incidents of different sizes every day. Price growth and high unemployment have become difficult problems in the UK this year. However, we have noticed in recent days that Ginny has the intention to withdraw from the UK, so the minister suggested that Time to arrest."

"Her evacuation route is very likely to evacuate to the British embassy first." Feng Xianghua added: "Once she succeeds, it is not acceptable to rush into the embassy to arrest people, and it does not comply with diplomatic regulations. It will affect China's international reputation. , so we have to do it before then."

Guan Xuqing nodded: "Then arrest them, and none of the spies involved in this case should slip through the net. At the same time, since the Sino-British United Charity Hospital has a good reputation among Beijing citizens, it has indeed done a lot of good deeds, whether it is for What is the purpose, so try to control it within a certain range during the arrest operation, so as not to affect the emotions of the citizens."

At this time, Ginny, who was in the Sino-British Joint Charity Hospital, didn't know that her spy career was about to come to an end. She had already received an order from the domestic intelligence agency to inform her that her mission was completed, and Minister McCann arranged to quickly withdraw to the UK.Ginny and MI[-] are very satisfied with their intelligence work in China. They have captured several Chinese spies stationed in the UK and mastered a lot of information related to China's military. Perhaps the only regret is that they have always been It's not clear who the 'queen' really is.But this is not important anymore, it's just that after I leave, when can I return to China and see the Chinese emperor again?
Ginny is willing to act as a spy as a princess, largely because she can come to China to meet the object of her love, but unfortunately this person doesn't seem to like her.

As usual, Ginny came to the dean's office early today. After arranging her day's work, she began to wait. An hour later, the car from the British embassy would pick her up.Ginny picked up her photo with the Chinese emperor from the table, carefully wiped it with her hands, stared at it for a while, and carefully put away the photo.
