Fengxian Jiangshan

The same is true for Sa Zhenbing. The wrinkles on the old man's face were all smiles, the goatee on his chin was shaking up and down, and he clapped his hands and said, "Okay, that's great! I listened to that guy Zhong Zhao's analysis in the first few years and said yes To complete the Mackensen, I think it is quite reliable, and it seems that there is still hope for this navy."

"Uncle, I saw the news. Not long ago, the Japanese battlecruiser Akagi had been launched. I heard that the Waka, which has a larger tonnage, has also entered the final stage of construction. These two battlecruisers are aimed at Ma The design of the Kensen, I am afraid that even if the Fengtian is launched, it will face the superior Japanese combined fleet."

A smug smile appeared on Shen Honglie's face: "Don't worry, just wait, when the Fengtian comes out, a large number of people will be shocked!"

……

"Humble words, three phases of construction treasury bonds have been issued successively this year, with a total of 0.7 billion, which is a great increase compared with last year." Wang Shuhan introduced with a smile: "The enthusiasm of the people to buy is still quite high, and the sales are very hot. I think You can add a little more.”

In fact, since the beginning of the First Five-Year Plan, China has issued a large number of bonds. At first, the common people did not approve of it, but Zhang Tinglan set an example and bought 300 million bonds, which immediately ignited the enthusiasm of the people. The vice president dared to buy it. No problem, right? Under this kind of blind trust, bond sales became more and more popular, and 0.95 billion was bought in the first year, which greatly supported economic construction.

Zhang Tinglan also said with a smile: "Although China is poor and weak, the country is big enough and there are still many rich people. It is okay to issue additional bonds, but this time, the navy will have to make a big move to issue additional bonds for military construction."

When Wang Shuhan heard it, he also smiled and said, "Success, the economic situation has been improving in the past two years, and the army should keep up, but I don't know how many will be issued?"

"Let's issue 3000 million first, and increase later depending on the situation."

Hearing Zhang Tinglan's words, Wang Shuhan couldn't help being stunned. It seems that this action is indeed not small.

In a blink of an eye, on May 5th, Huludao Shipyard gathered several times as many personnel as Jiangnan Shipyard. Vice President Zhang Tinglan, Minister of National Defense Yang Yuting, Chief of General Staff Jiang Fangzhen, Navy Commander Shen Honglie, Air Force Commander Zhang Xueliang and other important figures all came to Huludao Island Shipyard.

Stars gathered on the berth, attracting everyone's attention. If a bomb came at this time, the squadron would be completely paralyzed.However, this possibility does not exist. As early as a few days ago, Liu Shaoqing and Feng Yongshuang personally deployed a large number of people to guard against death.

At 12:[-] noon, Zhang Tinglan held a champagne bottle in his hand and slammed it heavily on the bow of the newly built Fengtian, foam splashed everywhere in an instant, and the sea water slowly rose in the dock...

Chapter 755 Sun Wen is gone

The Mackensen originally planned to have a displacement of 31000 tons and a full load of 35300 tons. However, since it returned to Fengtian, it did not have a main gun, so the Mackensen before the transformation was less than 30000 tons.

However, after the transformation, the full-load displacement of the Fengtian approached 4 tons. It was a sheer behemoth, a little larger than the contemporary Japanese aircraft carrier Kaga, and only a little smaller than the American Lexington-class aircraft carrier.However, the Lexington aircraft carrier has not yet been launched at this time, and the Fengtian has become the largest aircraft carrier in the world.

In fact, during World War II, the number of British aircraft carriers was still the second in the world, but in terms of performance, it has been far behind the United States and Japan. If the Germans did not have aircraft carriers, I am afraid that the bottom pants of the British Empire would be ripped off.

It can be said that in the field of aircraft carriers, only the United States and Japan can compete. With the completion of the refit of the Fengtian, China has also jumped into the top aircraft carrier club.

For this aircraft carrier, Zhang Tinglan has also devoted a lot of effort. In the early stages of the development of the aircraft carrier, countries did not know much about the future use of the aircraft carrier, so many detours were taken, and some designs were proved to be ineffective during the battle.

With Zhang Tinglan as a guide, the modification work was on the right track from the very beginning. Fengtian adopted a more solid closed bow, a full deck, an island-style superstructure, two-story hangar, two elevators, and a maximum speed of 32 knots. It can carry ninety aircraft, and its entire structure is almost the same as that of a modern aircraft carrier.

Just a month ago, Japan's Kaga aircraft carrier was also launched, but the Japanese cleverly adopted a three-stage deck, with the middle and lower hangars connected to the deck.It can be used for direct take-off and landing of aircraft.But doing so would make the deck too short to accommodate larger and newer carrier-based aircraft.Totally a failure.

The Fengtian has a direct single-layer deck. The length of the flight deck has reached 270 meters. It can not only meet the take-off and landing of fighter jets, but also ensure the take-off and landing of torpedo attack aircraft. You must know that torpedo aircraft are still the most threatening weapon to large warships at this time. .Moreover, the single-layer deck simplifies the operation, improves the efficiency of use, and greatly enhances the combat effectiveness.

In addition, a lot of work has been done on the ship island.For example, the USS Lexington in the United States is an example. The chimney and the ship island are separated, and they are all placed on the starboard side, which takes up a lot of space. This design obviously has problems.Therefore, the Chinese side directly integrated the ship island and the chimney together. According to Zhang Tinglan's idea, it should be placed on the right rear.The interference to the take-off and landing of the aircraft is minimized.

However, since the Fengtian was refitted from a battlecruiser after all, and had to take care of the hull structure, the ship island could only stay in the middle.But compared to other aircraft carriers of the same era, it is already much smaller.

Then there is the shipboard weapon of the aircraft carrier. In the early days, the aircraft carriers of the United States and Japan were equipped with naval guns of more than 200mm, which was also to prevent the aircraft carrier from colliding with other warships.

But it turns out.These designs are all useless. The mission of the aircraft carrier is to carry aircraft, and other tasks are handled by other ships. As for the aircraft carrier, the most necessary equipment is anti-aircraft firepower.

奉天号加装了12门127毫米口径L/25高平两用炮。8门127mmL/38高炮，60门40mm高射炮。16门20mm机炮。仅凭着航母自身的火力，就足以对付一般的飞机攻击。

Moreover, the Fengtian also inherited the consistent characteristics of the German-made warships, and its survivability is quite strong. Although it is not as good as a battleship, it still has considerable advantages compared to the thin-skinned Japanese aircraft carrier.

According to Zhang Tinglan's estimation, the level of the Fengtian has already reached the level of the aircraft carrier in the early days of World War II. As long as the performance of the aircraft can be improved, it can completely support China's Great Wall at sea in the next 20 years!

Amidst the cheers of all the people, Fengtian's huge body floated steadily on the sea surface, looking mighty and majestic.But Zhang Tinglan and others boarded this giant ship in person.The large deck is particularly comfortable. The Chinese have been dreaming of an aircraft carrier for too long, and they have been chasing the ocean for too long.

Compared with later generations, China at this time is still lucky. It is a great fortune to be able to catch up decisively when the era of aircraft carriers has just arrived.

Zhang Tinglan is also full of ambition. With an aircraft carrier, he has sea power, and with sea power, he has everything.There seems to be a definite number in the dark, the current Fengtian is the Liaoning of the future, it can be said that the two aircraft carriers with the same name carry China's determination to go to the sea, and no one can reverse this step after taking this step!

"Commander Shen, Captain Chen, the launch is just the beginning. You must hurry up and complete the sea trial mission, find out the key to the cooperation between the ship and the aircraft, and strive to let the Fengtian form combat power in the shortest possible time."

Jiang Fangzhen also smiled and said: "The aircraft carriers of all countries are in the exploratory stage. All the experiments you are doing now can be said to be unprecedented. Any experience is the key to the development of aircraft carriers in the next step. A set of effective specifications must be formed. It will pave the way for the development of more aircraft carriers in the next step."

Hearing Jiang Fangzhen's words, Chen Jiliang, the first captain of the Fengtian, suddenly brightened his eyes: "Chief of Staff, you said that more aircraft carriers will be built. Is this true?"

"Of course it is true. If you don't believe me, ask the vice president."

Zhang Tinglan nodded with a smile: "An aircraft carrier needs to be trained and maintained. How can it be guaranteed to be on duty at all times? I have already issued 3000 million bonds, which are mainly used to develop the aircraft carrier. Next, we will start construction of two aircraft carriers together. Strive to form the three aircraft carrier battle groups as soon as possible. But when to start construction depends on you. I need you to find problems and find out the direction of improvement during use. These experiences are the key to the next generation of aircraft carriers."

When Zhang Tinglan said this, he also showed a proud smile on his face: "Anyway, we have not signed the Washington Treaty, and the arms restrictions of the great powers are not limited to us. Let's let them go in a hurry!"

There is no need to build two more aircraft carriers. Just the launch of the Fengtian is enough to detonate world public opinion.Prior to this, all countries knew that China would definitely transform the Mackensen, but almost everyone believed that the Chinese would adopt a more conservative strategy to equip the Mackensen with main guns and turn it into a battlecruiser.

Moreover, judging from China's procurement and self-made warships, China is also building a naval assault fleet.High speed and long range are a feature of China's new warships.According to everyone's judgment, the Chinese should be targeting Japan and want to use the Mackensen to threaten Japan's maritime lifeline.

This has almost become the consensus of the world, but when the Fengtian was launched, it was completely broken.The Chinese actually converted the Mackensen into a huge aircraft carrier, which is too shocking.

What are the Chinese thinking? Are aircraft carriers more powerful than battlecruisers?The most embarrassing thing is Japan. In order to guard against the Mackensen, they made a big fuss at the Washington meeting, and finally won the places for two battlecruisers. At this time, they are almost completed.

But at this time, the Chinese suddenly told them that my buddies will not play with you anymore, and we are going to build an aircraft carrier.

This made the Japanese feel like they were shivering. When the mighty figure of the Fengtian appeared on the newspaper, this huge warship instantly became a thorn in the side of the Japanese, a thorn in the flesh, and it was extremely uncomfortable.

In a small courtyard in Tokyo, a skinny old man was sitting under a grape arbor, and a young girl in her twenties sat in front of him, gently beating his legs.

"Fumiko, it's been more than half a year. My illness is always good and bad. I'm afraid I won't last long."

The girl's eyes showed fear: "Father, you will be fine. My mother said that you are a person who can do great things, and my classmates all said the same. That warlord can't deceive the people forever, and he will be overthrown sooner or later. You He is the only leader."

Sun Wen patted Fumiko's hand and said with a smile, "That's what ordinary Japanese really say."

"That's right, I found a lot of books in the bookstore recently, all of which said that China's economy is about to collapse, they flatter the outside world, bully the people inside, all the economic data are fake, the railways can't run the trains, and the ships are iron shells son……"

Listening to his daughter's words, Sun Wen gradually showed a smile of joy on his face: "I really didn't expect Zhang Tinglan to reach this point. Even Japanese people of insight knew about his perverse actions. It seems that Zhang Tinglan, the leader of the warlord, is far from The end is not far away, I want to cheer up, make a comeback, and take back everything that belongs to me."

While Sun Wen was talking, Da Yuexun came in from the outside. Sun Wen abandoned her back then, and thought that he would never see her again in this life, but a few years ago, the Japanese government suddenly sent someone to find her , and also brought back her daughter Fumiko who was fostered in other people's homes.

The Japanese asked the mother and daughter to accompany Sun Wen, who had come to seek refuge from Hong Kong.Husband and wife, father and daughter met again after more than ten years. Da Yuexun was only 14 years old at the time, and now he is middle-aged, while Sun Wen has already aged prematurely under repeated blows, and he no longer has the original demeanor.

However, Otsuki Kaoru still upholds the obedience of Japanese women and takes good care of Sun Wen.In the first two years, many Japanese politicians came to Sun Wen to discuss matters, but gradually the front door became cold, and those people also left.

It was rare for the family to live a peaceful life. Da Yuexun came back from shopping outside and saw Sun Wen walking around the ground a few times with the support of her daughter. A happy smile appeared on her face.

"Sir, are you feeling better?" She said in surprise, looked down at the vegetable basket, and immediately panicked: "I'll go out again and buy a fish back!"

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door, and Wang Jingwei and a bald man hurried in, holding a newspaper in Wang Jingwei's hand.

"Sir, something is wrong. The giant ship transformed by China has been launched."

Sun Wen's body shook suddenly, and he hurriedly took over the newspaper. After seeing the huge picture of Fengtian, he felt dizzy for a while: "Didn't it mean that China is going to collapse?"

As soon as a word came out, the body fell limply.
