Chapter 1298: Warning From Japan
Old Chen took a deep breath, his expression gloomy.
"We only have so few ships in such a vast sea. If we tell others about it, can we live up to the people's trust? Can we live up to the country's cultivation?"
"Isn't this embarrassing?"
"Sometimes, I dream that if I can sell my old bones and exchange them for a big ship, I will be willing to die!"
The same is true for Zhang Wu on the side. Only by understanding it in depth can we know the importance of large warships.
He pinched the cup with his fingers, "From the beginning of this spring to now, we have lost a total of 26 outstanding comrades."
"Faced with warships that are several times larger than our gunboats, they are fearless and rush forward, fighting with cannons and bayonets, and torpedoes to show their heroism!"
"Every mile of the sea that we guard is shed with the blood of our soldiers!"
"But if, if we can have a bigger ship, this blood can be shed less, and we can also retain more vitality."
Speaking of this, Zhang Wu, a man of iron bones, has red eyes.
Old Chen also sighed, "A century-old navy!"
"If a nation wants to expand its living space, it must go out!"
"We can't repeat the same mistakes."
Yang Xiaotao held up the tea to suppress his inner emotions, "Grandpa Chen, uncle, we will have big ships."
"Destroyers, battleships, and even aircraft carriers, these big ships, as long as we keep going forward, as long as we don't give up, and unite as one, these things will definitely be there!"
Yang Xiaotao said affirmatively, because these will all be there in the future.
Zhang Wu nodded after listening, but he held the best hope in his heart.
Old Chen calmed down and smiled, "Yes, Xiaotao is right, we will have many big ships in the future, and then we will go there for a tour!"
"See who dares to make trouble!"
Hahaha
Several people were in a better mood, and then talked about what they had seen and heard at sea over the years.
Most of it was Zhang Wu who was talking, and Yang Xiaotao listened carefully.
Fighting again and again, fighting wits and courage again and again, charging fearlessly again and again, sacrificing, defending the sea with blood.
While they were chatting, the phone suddenly rang. Yang Xiaotao got up and went to the study to answer it. It was Liu Huaimin who called.
After a while, Yang Xiaotao ran back.
"Master Chen, the machinery factory has agreed."
"The machinery factory will produce four engines for you in the name of experiments."
"However, how to transport them back is up to you!"
Hearing Yang Xiaotao say this, Lao Chen and Zhang Wu both laughed.
"Don't worry, we have people on the road and on the sea!"
Then, the two confirmed the delivery time and got up to say goodbye.
They had to go back and make arrangements to get the engine in place as soon as possible.
"Xiaotao, you helped us a lot this time. I came in a hurry this time. Next time, I will bring you some seafood as compensation!"
"Master Chen, this is too polite. If the old master knows about it, I don't know what to say to me!"
The two smiled, and Lao Chen approached Yang Xiaotao and whispered, "I heard that destroyers also use diesel engines. You should prepare it!"
"Maybe it will be of great use."
After that, he got in the car and left.
After the people walked away, Yang Xiaotao came back to his senses. What does this mean?
Is this asking them to make a bigger diesel engine?
After careful consideration, this is not impossible.
Although there are no ready-made engine drawings, the principle and technology of large engines are fully understood. As long as he is given time, it is not a problem to design it.
"Let's go, go back and rest!"
Lao Jin greeted on the side, "There will be guests in the evening, you kid have a good rest!"
Yang Xiaotao shrugged, not too enthusiastic in his heart.
However, he also understood that this was a kind of care from Lao Jin.
After all, more friends mean more ways.
Back home, Yang Xiaotao went back to the room to rest for a while.
After getting up in the afternoon, he went to the study to prepare the drawings for the car air conditioner.
...
Japan, Edo.
"Kazuko, have you read this "Travels in the Chinese Continent"? "
The bald old man put the report on the table forward, and then looked at Zhang Ben Kazuko, who was kneeling beside him in a kimono.
"Sir, I've seen it."
Zhang Benhezi lowered her head, and her originally slender figure became even more fiery under the deliberate restraint.
The bald old man retracted his gaze, feeling that his body did not react, and felt that he was still old.
"Tell me what you think!"
"Hi!"
Zhang Benhezi bowed her head first, and then slowly said, "This is a travel document written by Shui Yuanfeng after returning from China. It records the experience of going to China, and it is mixed with a lot of her ideas and opinions."
After Zhang Benhezi finished speaking, she saw that the old man had no intention of speaking, and then continued.
"In it, she highly praised the other party's democracy, praised the other party's revolutionary achievements, and even recognized the other party's glorious labor and dedication..."
"Of course, the most important thing is that they think they should befriend them, and even learn their revolutionary spirit, work together with them, and oppose the oppression and rule of the United States together!"
After Zhang Benhezi finished speaking, the old man showed an angry look on his face.
"Learn from Huaxia? Humph!"
"Kazuko, remember, the Dahe people only learn from the strong, and Huaxia is outdated!"
"Hey!"
The bald old man was very satisfied with this, and then asked about the exchange group.
"You are with that Hashimoto Rong, what do you think of him?"
"Sir, Hashimoto Sakae is an ambitious man. He participated in the exchange group this time purely to gain political interests and does not care about our relationship with China."
"Moreover, he is also an extremely self-centered person, and the interests of the Dahe Nation are also not worth mentioning in his eyes."
Kazuko Harimoto did not say good things for him because of her super-friendly relationship with Hashimoto Sakae, but just said what she thought.
This is also the reason why after returning to Edo, the other party contacted her many times and wanted to continue 'cooperation', but she refused.
She has many guests, including this one.
What's more, it's still useless.
"Well, this person has high ambitions but low abilities. He is ambitious but has no ability. He is not worth mentioning."
The bald old man became even more angry when he thought about the lost game. For such a shameful thing to be publicized, it was simply a slap in the face.
Such a sinner still has the honor to live in the world, and committing seppuku is his only option.
He made arrangements for Hashimoto Sakae in his heart, and then looked at Kazuko Harimoto, "The news you got from your trip to China this time is very good. It allows us to understand the strength and development of the other party."
"Especially the investigation of information on some Chinese personnel, which is very good."
"Next year, I hope you can go there again and continue to explore useful information for the empire. At the same time, it is best to use your outstanding abilities to recruit more talents for the empire."
"Hey, Hezi understands that Hezi is willing to serve the empire."
"Well, if you think so, I'm very satisfied."
"Thank you for the compliment, sir."
"Well, let's get down!"
Zhang Benwazi stood up and slowly retreated.
The bald old man moved his body and his eyes stayed on the travel notes.
I feel in my heart that in just one generation, China has undergone earth-shaking changes.
If China becomes stronger, it will be a disaster for them.
After a long time, he shouted to the outside, "Call Maeda."
After a while, a stout Japanese man walked in with a respectful expression.
"grown ups!"
"Yeah. Maeda, have you seen it?"
Maeda glanced at the travel notes on the table with a ferocious expression.
This is a travelogue that has recently become famous in China. It records the situation in China, including politics, economy, and humanities. It also explains the high passion, values, and outlook on life of Chinese young people. It has aroused the interest of many young people, and it has Spreading very quickly.
This kind of advocating for the once weak made him feel ashamed.
When does an empire need to learn from the conquered?
Even if this conquered man possesses mushroom eggs that can destroy the world, so what?
Their great river nation is proud, sacred, and... backed by the powerful United States.
"Yes, sir! I have seen it!"
"These people are not worthy of becoming outstanding people of the river!"
"Please rest assured, sir, my subordinates will definitely deal with all these scum."
Maeda gritted his teeth as he spoke, but the old man shook his head slightly.
"Battling and killing will not solve the problem."
"Maeda, you have to learn to use your brain!"
"Hey, you taught me a lesson!"
Maeda immediately regained his composure and was extremely respectful.
"Since the birth of human thought, there have been differences. This is an unchangeable fact."
"You can't change a person's thoughts, but you can influence their thoughts."
Maeda was a little confused, looked up at the old man, and asked cautiously, "Sir, do you want..."
The bald old man glanced at them, and then said calmly, "These people, the empire still needs them to continue to confuse China, so they cannot be moved."
"But we must also provide reasonable 'protection', especially for Miss Shuiyuan Feng. I heard that she is still single. I think you can protect her personally and instill in her the excellent ideas of the Dahe people."
"Understand?"
"Hey, I understand, I will protect her now."
A violent impulse suddenly came from Maeda's strong body. He must let that ignorant girl who boasted about China know how powerful the imperial warriors were.
After Maeda left, the bald old man got up, dressed neatly and walked to the palace.
The white walls tell the history of the Dahe people, and the spacious tree-lined gardens make people feel the modern vitality.
Walking through the winding path and passing through the sea of flowers, bursts of fragrance are emitted.
The hibiscus blossoms cover the entire wall, with bees jumping between the petals.
At the main entrance, the golden gate is inlaid with beautiful patterns, with exquisite details and rich oriental characteristics.
The bald old man came to the door. The waiter had been waiting for him for a long time. He opened the door and the old man bowed and walked in.
"Your Mightiness."
The bald old man came to a pavilion and bowed to the silver-haired old man waiting here.
"Shan Yuan-kun, please sit down."
The silver-haired old man stretched out his hand to invite. The bald old man cheered and sat across from him.
"Shan Yuanjun, what do you think of China?"
As soon as he sat down, the old man asked.
Shan Yuan picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then put it down and said with emotion.
"China has begun to rise."
"They have vast land resources, vast space, hundreds of millions of people, and a strong government."
"Their national consciousness is growing stronger step by step, and their self-confidence is rising bit by bit."
"This will be a very terrifying existence."
The silver-haired old man nodded, "Yes, the people of that land have been passed down for five thousand years, and heroes have emerged, leading the trend for hundreds of years."
"Such a nation, once guided, has the opportunity to burst out with terrifying strength."
"And as neighbors, what we fear most is this situation."
Shanyuan lowered his head. The closest they had come to success was the last war.
It's a pity that they didn't take advantage of the weakest time of the other side to occupy that land.
Now imagine that the other side is like a god, and every time they are frustrated and depressed, a group of heroes will appear to turn the tide and support the building that is about to collapse.
This is their sorrow.
Just like the oil fields in the northeast of the other side.
Only two hundred meters away, as long as they go deeper two hundred meters, the empire can recover, change its strategy, and embark on a glorious road.
But it is this short two hundred meters that has led the empire to a road of defeat and destruction.
Sometimes he would wonder, are these two hundred meters, is it the other side's "gods" protecting China?
Just as the bald old man was lost in thought, the silver-haired old man spoke up, "Shanyuan Jun, for the future of the empire, we must do something."
"Sir, please advise."
The old man nodded, "China is developing rapidly, and at the same time has a strong army, and now has the power to shock the world."
"But they are not without weaknesses."
"This weakness is the navy."
"They started too late, which is our advantage and our only chance."
"So we must pay attention to their construction of the navy, and once an uncontrollable situation occurs, we must resolutely stop it."
"Especially, submarines, nuclear submarines. You, understand?"
"Hey, I understand."
Shanyuan reacted, his face solemn, and nodded quickly.
The navy is not something that ordinary people can afford to play with.
But submarines, especially nuclear submarines, are a special case, an unreasonable special case.
