On the morning of early October, Zhuge Weidao had returned to his naval aviation admiral's residence and was sitting in his conference room to preside over an emergency meeting.
The Ming Dynasty's navy now has two admiral's offices directly under the Navy Department and the Naval Staff Department, both of which are a bit mysterious.
One is the Naval Aviation Admiral's Office, which is nominally in charge of airships, but in fact it directly oversees an experimental naval aircraft carrier formation!
And the other one is even more mysterious, called the Naval Underwater Engineering Admiral's Mansion. This Admiral's Mansion is not even in Beijing, but on Luzon Island. The station is located in Little Luzon Bay (Subic Bay). It is not an ordinary restricted area. It's the kind of restricted area that has ships patrolling the inner and outer three floors!
"Everyone! The General Staff has decided that our navy will step on the so-called red line of the Indian Empire and provoke this world war that is destined to allow our empire to dominate the world after the war and become a true celestial power! And we and other navy The warriors of the aviation force will also act as the vanguard of the empire and follow the Nanyang Fleet!"
Although he barely slept all night, Zhuge Weidao was still in great spirits. When he talked about launching a world war, his eyes almost lit up.
I don’t know if it’s because he was particularly interested in historical books and games about various world wars before time travel. Anyway, Zhuge Weidao is definitely the most militant militarist in the entire Ming Dynasty. In the past five years, he has devoted himself to The country is being pushed into the pit of world war!
Of course, without his promotion, Daming and Daying would actually be heading towards confrontation step by step. The root of this opposition is the surge in productivity brought about by the Second Industrial Revolution and the accelerated population growth of various industrial countries after the end of the Napoleonic Wars. In original history, after the Second Industrial Revolution, the world As long as the four "large industrial countries" of the United Kingdom, the United States, France, and Germany, plus the three "semi-industrial countries" of Rakshasa, Japan, and Austria-Hungary, as well as some small industrial countries that are dependent on the large industrial countries, the population of these countries will only be four. If it's over 100 million, it's really not possible, so we can only fight one battle.
And now the Ming Empire alone has 360 million people. That was the data five years ago, and now it is almost 375 million. If you also include those who slipped over or sold from Japan, which has a depressed economy and overpopulation in the past two years. There are probably 380 million illegal households, and the average age of these 380 million people is only 22-25 years old!
It is the time when the blood is strong. Even though the current public opinion does not want war very much, as soon as the news of the victory on the front line comes back and the public opinion encourages it, warlike mood will immediately arise.
The average age of countries that are industrialized, semi-industrialized, or just touching the threshold of industrialization, such as Britain, France, the United States, Austria, Prussia, Rakshasa, and Japan, is also similar. Among them, Japan, the "youngest" country, is only 21 years old. I think. It’s hard even if you don’t “showa”!
"Husband, are you up? Did you sleep well? Breakfast has been prepared for you."
When Navy Chief Petty Officer 3rd Class Lu Benwei, who was on vacation at home in Shanghai, stretched out and got up from his bed, a gentle, sweet, and submissive voice sounded in his ears that would make one's bones melt. .
This is the voice of Miyo Yoshiharaya, the wife of Master Chief Lu. When Lu Benwei is at home, his wife always serves him like a great master. She doesn't let him do any housework. He just opens his mouth to eat and enjoys clothes. Even when he takes a bath, his wife can help him rub his back. and massage. Every night. That’s even more enjoyable!
According to Miyo herself, according to the customs of her hometown, she was trained to serve men before getting married, and she knew how to do a lot of tricks. But she was very unfamiliar with the game, a bit clumsy, and very shy. Her pretty face is often flushed with embarrassment, and she feels at a loss what to do. At this time, he kept kowtowing and apologizing to Master Chief Lu, which was really endearing.
What made Master Chief Lu even more satisfied was that this wife absolutely loved him. She not only served him well, but also gave him a large sum of money. She married him with eighteen or ninety thousand silver dollars and two large boxes of gold jewelry. Although Sergeant Lu had savings of his own, he was far less wealthy than Miyo. Therefore, the decoration, furniture, appliances, and the subsequent wedding were all paid for by Miyo after the house was allocated to him, which did not cost Sergeant Lu any money. A big boy.
Last night, Master Sergeant Lu "fought hard" again, and he was exhausted before falling asleep under his wife's massage. Unexpectedly, it was not bright yet, but Miyo had already prepared breakfast. Too virtuous.
"Hey, that's not right." Lu Benwei noticed something was wrong when he saw the sky outside the window. "Miyo, it's not even bright yet. Why did you wake me up? My vacation isn't over yet, is it?"
"Husband, I found this in the mailbox when I went out to buy groceries this morning." Miyo said and handed Lu Benwei a red envelope.
"This is..." Master Chief Lu took the envelope and looked at it. The words "Navy Recruitment Order" were printed on it!
Seeing these words, Lu Benwei knew that his wonderful vacation was over!
"Miyo, me." Lu Benwei looked at his wife reluctantly.
I really can’t bear it!
His vacation had only started a few days ago, so why was a recruitment order suddenly sent to his home? What does it mean? There won't be another war, right?
The thought of fighting made Master Chief Lu feel a little numb.
At this moment, his wife Miyo suddenly said: "Husband, the recruitment order said that you should report to Wusong Military Port as soon as possible, so I have packed your luggage for you. Let's set off after breakfast!"
What? Lu Benwei frowned, thinking that it wouldn't be like this as soon as possible, right? I should be able to do it for another day or two.
At this time, Miyoko looked at her husband with admiring eyes: "Husband, you are a navy, a brave and fearless navy chief, and my hero. You must work hard!"
Encouraged by Miyo, who may have admired samurai Miyo since childhood, Lu Benwei could only nod his head: "Yes! I am a navy, I must work hard, and I must kill thieves for the country!"
Sunshine, beach, harbor. Shu Zhongwang aircraft carrier battle cruiser!
When Lu Benwei finally made up his mind to live up to his wife's expectations and strive to be a good navy officer, Feng Mingshan, who went on a blind date with him and fell in love with the little beauty with a protruding front and back, had already put on a handsome flight suit, and also After attaining the rank of second-class petty officer, he and a group of brothers from the Shu Zhongwang flying group stood on this majestic giant warship to welcome the arrival of their admiral Zhuge Weidao.
Fengmingshan was not as "lucky" as Lu Benwei. On the tenth day after his marriage, he said goodbye to his new wife and boarded the Liaodong aircraft carrier to begin rigorous training in carrier-based aircraft takeoff and landing and combat flight. After the training was completed, he was told that his vacation was cancelled, and he followed the Liaodong to leave the home port of Jiaozhou Bay. After sailing for a few days at sea, he arrived at the Naha Naval Garrison in the Ryukyu Kingdom with bright sunshine, white beaches, and very charming harbor scenery. Among the military ports. Then he got a promotion and was transferred to the Shu Zhongwang aircraft-carrying battlecruiser, known as the world's most powerful battleship. He also got the latest Ssangyong-Type 2 bi-wing carrier-based seaplane!
This is a more powerful aircraft than the original version of the SsangYong aircraft, with a greater range and faster speed, and can also replace the bombs with auxiliary fuel tanks when performing reconnaissance missions, so that it can fly four to five hundred kilometers.
In addition, a spark transmitter is installed on the co-pilot seat of this aircraft, which can send discovered targets back to the Shu Zhongwang via radio waves.
It has to be said that as an aircraft born in the 1830s, the SsangYong-2 is simply incredible. If China had such aircraft in history, it is estimated that the Yapian War would have been fought in London!
Although there are big problems with the design of the Shu Zhongwang - to be precise, this is an aircraft-carrying battlecruiser torpedo boat!
But when Zhuge Weidao boarded this strange battleship with many functions, he still had to admit its power!
First of all, this hangar with a standard displacement of 22,000 tons (2,000 tons more than its prototype) is enough to accommodate 36 SsangYong-2!
Secondly, the power system of the Shu Zhongwang has evolved again, finally using a powerful oil-fired boiler, so the power of the steam turbine has also been improved, reaching an "astonishing" 46,000 horsepower. Therefore, when fully loaded, it can still run at a high speed of 26 knots. It can indeed be used as a torpedo boat. After walking around on this battleship, which has pitfalls in design but still has amazing performance, Zhuge Weidao has a way of driving. The idea of attacking this aircraft carrier!
