Volume II Chapter 30 Questions

When Yang Rui closed the door and scolded Chen Mengxiong in the house, his secretary Li Zilong reported that his wife had arrived, and the scolding was over.≯≧w. In fact, Lu Mengxiong's affairs were not easy to punish in military law. He did not marry a concubine at all, but he just played a groom with a fool; and the officer went to the brothel to spend the night, which was nothing wrong with military law. In Tonghua, the logistics department specially organized a woman group to engage in flesh-and-skin business, comforting the officers and soldiers, and seeking better defense against spies and rooms. Although some defenders criticized this measure after the founding of the country, the army had no intention of adjusting.

Lu Mengxiong, who had a clear face, heard that his master's wife had arrived, and his heart suddenly fell to the ground. The director had already talked to him as usual, but that was just a formality. What he was worried about was that Yang Rui would be furious. In his understanding of Yang Rui, the highest level of his husband's furiousness was to ignore people. If he could curse loudly, there would still be hope. Now he has been scolding for half an hour, and with the master's wife coming, he concluded that his disaster had passed.

Cheng Xu did not make a deliberate arrangement when he came to Shanghai this time. She just wanted to go back to Honolulu to see her father. The children and Han Xianfeng came with her. It can be said that this family was gathered again in Shanghai. Cheng Xu Han Xianfeng saw Lu Mengxiong standing restrainedly in the living room. When he saw the atmosphere inside, he immediately understood what was going on. They understood that their husbands were used to it and immediately avoided it. The only child hadn't seen his father for a long time, so he rushed over and refused to leave.

Yang Rui's expression was not as scary as before when he saw his wife's son. While holding his son, he asked, "Which woman has fooled you? Don't you have a very high horizon for women?"

"Oh..." Lu Mengxiong said silly, feeling that the child should not understand the matter of Fengyue, so he said, "It's a woman named Li Pingxiang... But she... she and her uncle were together in her early years..."

When Lu Mengxiong said that Li Pingxiang and Yang Rui were shocked. This woman is a famous prostitute in Shanghai, and Li Shutong is having a good time with her. Zhang Shizhao made a rumor for her, but he didn't expect that Lu Mengxiong also had an affair with her. After turning the file of this woman in the Intelligence Bureau for a few times, Yang Rui asked calmly: "What, do you want to marry her?"

"Ah, there is nothing! Sir." Lu Mengxiong said hurriedly: "The student just wanted to help her redeem her brothel, and then she hoped that she would find a good family to be a good person, and she had no idea of ​​going with her... Sir, this is a student who is confused and will never dare to do it next time."

"Do you want to go next time?" Yang Rui's voice became louder. But his son was lying on his neck, and he couldn't be majestic even if he wanted to be majestic.

"Students dare not! Students dare not!" Lu Mengxiong said quickly. His appearance made the child laugh.

"I ask you, what's going on with the Marines? Do you don't want to lead this team or something?" Yang Rui pulled his son off his neck, held it in his arms and started talking about the serious business. Lu Mengxiong was indeed the right person to attack Taiwan, but he was afraid that this kid would lose his links. This was a national war and he would not be careless.

"Sir, this Marine Corps is good, but we don't have a navy! The students actually want to fight. They are very good in the Northeast. They not only have to fight with the Japanese, but also have to fight with the Russians for a few years. But in this Marine Corps..." Lu Mengxiong was so embarrassed that he finally told what he wanted. When the righteousness was made, there was no war between Hei and Jilin provinces, which made him very uncomfortable. He didn't think of this Marine Corps. It was the Leng Yamen again.

"That's the reason?" Yang Rui asked.

"Yes, sir. That's the reason." Lu Mengxiong said. But when he wanted to say something, Han Xianfeng came over. She held a plate of Laiyang pear on the coffee table: "You have been talking for a long time and your mouth is dry. Let's eat a pear first." After that, he wanted to carry the child over, "You are so unbearable, your whole body is so smelly, and you won't go to take a shower."

Yang Rui had never eaten Laiyang pears. He only knew the crystal pears and fragrant pears of later generations. He was not angry even if he was interrupted by Han Xianfeng. After he only carried his son to Han Xianfeng, he also asked: "There is nothing wrong with him on the boat, right?"

Although he was the first son, Yang Rui had known how to educate him for a long time. He began to interfere in his son's education at the age of three. Although he did not interfere with the educational methods and content, he tried his best to interfere with the educational time. In his words, he must develop good habits. Therefore, no matter whether it is windy or rainy or during the Chinese New Year and the holidays, his son must complete fixed things at a fixed time. But women do not understand the importance of cultivating good habits like Yang Rui, so he must supervise at any time, such as taking a boat this time.

"It's nothing. He also memorized the book for two hours when he was seasick." Han Xianfeng blamed her husband for a glance. She felt that men became so mechanical and rigid after being in the army for a long time.

"It's still half an hour away!" Yang Rui's eyes glared at her, "Double today, and I'll go back for an hour."

Knowing that there was an outsider, Han Xianfeng nodded slightly and hugged the child out. Yang Rui pretended to be fine and then took over the topic just now, "How do you make sure that the Marine Corps will not fight? The Navy must be done. The Marine Corps is the tip of the navy's knife. Do you want to do the tip of the knife, but you still want to make a knife handle?"

Lu Mengxiong shook his head, "No, sir. But can the current navy fight?"

"Who said that the navy cannot fight? You don't understand why the navy can't fight?" Yang Rui asked back. "The navy left by the Qing Dynasty is already out of date. They are still in the era of Zhenyuan Dingyuan more than ten years ago. We can only let the army go to the sea to do the navy's work, and spend ten or twenty years to truly build the navy. Commanding the marines is much more difficult than commanding a pure army. Many times, the navy throws you into a place without foreign aid or even uninhabited, and then there is no trace. On the island, you rely on your own support. Many times, the supply is limited, and you have to count them with water and ammunition..."

Yang Rui's description of the Marine Corps immediately made Lu Mengxiong think of the Liaoxi Journey to the West, which was even worse than the Liaoxi Guerrillas. He suddenly stood at attention in Yang Rui's description: "Sir, students are not afraid of hardship! They are not afraid of death! They are just worried that there is no war to fight!"

"There is no war to fight?" Yang Rui asked back, "The General Staff now counts the time, and only thinks that the war will last one day later, so we can prepare one more day. Do you really think that transferring you from the Northeast is to let you come to Shanghai for freedom and freedom? Let me tell you that the General Staff chose dozens of people before he said he wanted you to lead this team. You are fine. I disliked that there was no war to fight, so he ran to Shanghai to marry a concubine. You still think so now. Then write an application immediately, and I asked the General Staff to transfer you back to the Northeast immediately."

Yang Rui said this shocked Lu Mengxiong. He hurriedly said: "Students are willing to go to the Marine Corps! Students are willing."

"Are you really willing or just want to?" Yang Rui asked with a smile.

"I'm really willing!" Lu Mengxiong said. "Students will return to the army right now!"

"It's good to go back to the army. But you can't be so cheap." Yang Rui said: "Tomorrow, the General Director will release your rank of major general and demote you to the rank of colonel... Then, get to Fujian. If you don't train well, don't think you will come back!"

"Ah!" Lu Mengxiong's face began to turn green again. He thought the punishment was considered to be a escape, but he didn't want to have such a heavy person in the end. However, when he heard that the transfer was in Fujian, his face immediately turned red. He finally understood what the Marines did. "Yes! Sir!"

"Speak louder!" Yang Rui felt relieved when he looked at him, and he praised him in his heart.

"Yes! Sir!" Lu Mengxiong said loudly again.

"Okay! Go." Yang Rui was finally satisfied, "Don't be so happy after going out. Do you know that with a sad face?"

"I understand, sir!" Lu Mengxiong heard Yang Rui's explanation, and the stone in his heart fell to the ground. After saluting, he ran out in shame.

He sent Lu Mengxiong away. In the afternoon, the incident of him being removed from the rank of major general and being exiled to the wild land spread throughout Shanghai. The newspapers believed that the handling was unfair. It was said that General Lu did not violate the law and discipline, but he had great love in his heart, so he helped some romantic women escape the cage. The Women's Revival Association made even more violent fuss. Before Yang Rui went to the concession to attend the meeting in the afternoon, Qiu Jin came to ask for a meeting. However, Yang Rui ignored it, which made her very dissatisfied. In order to get rid of these pleading people in Shanghai, Yang Rui boarded a airship and headed straight for Yanzhou early the next morning. He threw all the tigresses of the Women's Revival Association in Shanghai.

Yanzhou is a revolutionary base, and it made great sacrifices for the New China. There was nothing wrong with Yang Rui coming here. After worshiping the martyrs who died in the anti-encirclement and suppression wars to restore the country. Yang Rui visited some martyrs' families, and after he was concerned about his well-being, he arrived at the Qiandao Lake Aviation Base at night. That night, he summoned Major General Pan Shizhong, the head of the air force, and Colonel Tian Shijie, the commander of the submarine force who had been waiting here.

Major General Pan Shizhong was the captain of the first airship of the Freshing Army Airship Force, and later served as the commander of the Freshing Army. When he made a big move, he ventured to land in the outer city of Beijing to cooperate with the inner team of Beijing. He was promoted to the rank of major general. After Colonel Tian Shijie graduated from Yantai Naval School, he joined the Revival Society under the introduction of Wen Shude, a former alumnus who had surrendered to the Revival Society. In external publicity, he was a hero who sank the main ships of the Japanese Third Fleet with three submarines. In fact, he was the submarine commander who successfully arrived in Ning with an escort press. His rank was promoted because of escort, not entirely because of sinking.

Two senior generals of similar age appeared in front of Yang Rui. Even when he was tired late at night, he could feel the vigor of the young man. After the two saluted, Colonel Tian Shijie said: "Prime Minister, the soldiers of the submarine force have made all preparations. Once the order is reached, they can wipe out the Japanese Navy and defend the Chinese seas!"

The record of the sixth group of the submarine force caused a sensation all over the world. Seeing that making merits is so simple, all the officers and soldiers of the submarine force seemed to be burned down. While training hard, they only wanted to start the war as soon as possible. More than 100 submarines, one boat sinks a warship, can destroy the Japanese Navy. After making meritorious, the submarine had such a courage that made Pan Shizhong standing on the side a little embarrassed. As he knew, the General Staff had invested a huge amount of investment in the Air Force. Now there are more than 1,000 aviation students in Qiandao Lake. If these people really formed an army, the Air Force would definitely have one or two thousand aircraft. Such a large-scale aviation force would probably not be able to compete with the whole world.

"Prime Minister, the Air Force is also ready to defend our Chinese sky to the death!" Major General Pan Shizhong also said with Colonel Tian Shijie, but his confidence is not as strong as Colonel Tian Shijie.

The submarine Yang Rui didn't say anything. After all, it has been seven or eight years since he tinkered with the submarine, but the pilots on the Air Force are still in intense training. If they really want to dispatch, there are only a few batches of students in the previous group. He looked at Major General Pan Shizhong and asked, "How many qualified pilots are there in the Air Force now?"

Major General Pan Shizhong was stunned when he heard this. He suddenly remembered that what the Prime Minister hated the most was his unfounded determination. His momentum suddenly weakened and said, "More than 600 people in the first two periods can fight."

"What about the others?" Yang Rui asked. "When will you pass?"

"It will take another year!" Major General Pan Shizhong told the truth. He was talking about the torpedo pilot. These people must go through sea tests, that is, to shoot targets in the wind and waves to be considered qualified.

"A year is not long." Yang Rui called the two of them to sit down. Then he said slowly: "Air Force is a young military service after all, and all countries have no experience to refer to. We have high tactical requirements for the Air Force, so it is understandable to slow down. Pilots are treasures, so remember not to encourage growth. Let you two come here today, in fact, to fully understand the situation of the submarine and the air force. China and Japan are still negotiating, so I am not easy to go to Xiangshan Port. Let's talk about the submarine first, what is the situation of your submarine now... Don't worry, you two military service will cooperate in the future, whether at sea or on the shore. When the escort water press comes back, didn't you just rely on seaplanes to reconnaissance to the East China Sea?"

"Prime Minister, the submarine force can sink four Japanese ships. The officers and soldiers are all confident. They hope to start war as soon as possible and completely eliminate the Japanese navy!" Colonel Tian Shijie said, and his confidence seemed a little too much. "The third batch of submarines from Germany have set off and returned to China. It is expected that by March and April next year, all the ships of the army will be available, and the Xiangshan and Huludao project will be successfully completed this year. It can be said that our troops are waiting for the battle and hope to go to the battlefield in the morning..."

"It is a good thing for the submarine troops to have confidence. But you must not be arrogant, especially you cannot just sink the enemy ships, regardless of the cost of casualties." After listening to Colonel Tian Shijie's introduction, Yang Rui warned him uneasy. "And when he was in Germany, many tactics were difficult to train. Especially when he was in Germany, cooperation with seaplanes was the focus of submarine combat in the future. Now the submarine has returned home. Then you must step up the running-in. Without the aircraft, it will be difficult to reconnaise the entire sea area with the low freeboard of the submarine. If you want to fight the Japanese fleet, you can only hit the mouse. There are also some hydrological information and sea area situations in Japan. But you have not been there after all, how can you know the situation along the coast of Japan if you don't go?"

Seaplanes, airships and submarines cooperate with each other. The submarine troops are also practicing, but they are afraid of being discovered by various countries and hide very deeply. Now they hear that the Prime Minister said they want to let the submarines go to the coast of Japan. Colonel Tian Shijie said: "Prime Minister, we have sent a telegram to the General Staff before, but they did not agree to the training in Japan."

"That was a few months ago. We were worried that Japan would start war soon in the past few months, so it was not easy to stimulate it too much. Now the situation has stabilized. Now you will approve the General Staff report." Yang Rui said.

"I understand, Prime Minister." Colonel Tian Shijie replied happily.

"You are not going to start a war. If you go there, you can only show your face on the sea at night. You can only sink around the seabed during the day." Yang Rui reminded, "And the boat team you go there must be capable. Never have an accident. If an accident occurs..."

Colonel Tian Shijie was heartbroken by Yang Rui's words. According to the principle of confidentiality, submarines must not fall into the hands of Japan. Once the submarines occur in the waters near Japan, everyone will have to sink to the bottom of the sea forever. "We must be careful." He replied.

"What's the situation with the Germans? Don't they also need to equip fifty submarines? Will it have an impact on the submarines we built?" Yang Rui said.

"Prime Minister, if our submarines were not trained, we were afraid that the German shipyard would have been built long ago, so the German expansion of the submarine force would have no effect on us in the construction time of boat construction. "Tian Shijie said: "It only takes more than 1,600 soldiers for fifty submarines. The original submarine force of Germany could not be taught, so many of them entered our submarine school. Now the schools there are crowded, so it is better to change classrooms. In addition to classrooms, training boats are not enough. Among the third batch of submarines, ten remain in Germany for the training of German submarine forces. The Germans seem to want to train more than 1,000 people in one year, and there is also a trend of trying to train more submarine crews."

Among the information given to various countries by the Chinese Navy to the East China Sea Navy, the most comprehensive one is given to Germany, and its purpose is to make Germany pay attention to submarine operations. The record of the East China Sea Navy ultimately touched Tirpitz or the German Emperor, otherwise Germany would not have purchased fifty submarines to equip the navy. Yang Rui was happy to see the Germans attach importance to submarines and were happy to help them expand their submarine forces. He was full of hope that the German submarine forces would be stronger than history, thus greatly extending the war. Even the best result is that even if the United States participates in the war,

His soldiers could not pass the Atlantic Ocean and arrive in France smoothly. At that time, the Allies and the Agreement would last for five or six years, and finally ended in negotiations. In this case, the unconsolidated world would give China a full advantage and a chance to take advantage of the situation. Yang Rui's imagination was beautiful, but whether the wolves could prevent the United States from participating in the war and how China should choose between the United States and Germany. He had not thought about these issues. Anyway, he understood that strengthening German submarines and sinking more British cargo ships would be beneficial to China!

"They finally turned this bend." Yang Rui sighed. Seeing that Tian Shijie in front of him was a little puzzled, he didn't dare to say it again, for fear of revealing his secret, so he only asked: "I heard that the British Navy invented a "z"-shaped anti-submarine navigation method. Does this affect the combat effectiveness of the submarine?"

"Report to the Prime Minister, the 'z'-shaped navigation may be effective for a single, two or three submarines, because the number of submarines is small, the shooting angle is small, but the effect is not great for wolves." Colonel Tian Shijie is always concerned about how navies from all over the world deal with submarines. "But it is not very effective for wolves. No matter how surface warships change their navigation, as long as they pass through the ambush area of ​​wolves, there are always several submarines with shooting angles. As long as one enemy ship is hit by a torpedo, other enemy ships will scatter, which will be very beneficial for submarine shooting. In addition, the underwater listening device advocated by the British Navy is also ineffective for submarines. After all, the submarine is not an iceberg. It is not that big and cannot reflect much echo. Moreover, the noise of the warship itself is very loud. Underwater listeners often find it difficult to hear whether there is an echo in the headphones."

"What are the methods that foreigners now have now used to testify? "Sonar technology is in his hands and the Germans, and deep-water bombs have not been invented. Yang Rui was curious about how Britain, France and other countries would deal with submarines.

"Prime Minister, the methods that foreigners think of at present are ineffective against submarines." Colonel Tian Shijie said: "The speed that can truly avoid submarine attacks is still speed. The fastest speed of torpedoes is now thirty-five knots. As long as the speed of enemy ships exceeds twenty-two knots, the submarines will find it difficult to attack them. At such a fast speed, the torpedo cannot catch up at all. But now the battery of torpedoes is improving and the speed is also increasing. Once the speed and range of torpedoes are increased, the speed of twenty-two knots is still not enough."

There are many old Japanese naval ships. In addition to destroyers, only the newly built warships with speeds exceeding 22 knots have 26 knots. Other old ships have speeds below 20 knots. Even warships with speeds above 22 knots cannot have their usual cruise speeds exceeding 20 knots. If they are at the highest speed for a long time, the power system will inevitably be paralyzed.

Yang Rui thought about the Japanese warships, and thought that if it was raining rain, the King Kong drove into the coastal areas of China at a speed of 22 knots, and the aircraft and submarines had no choice but to deal with them at this time. To deal with the Japanese Navy, it was necessary to focus on defenses in some key cities, especially to arrange mines reasonably so that the Japanese warships could not reach the appropriate artillery distance.

"Okay! I know the situation of the submarine force and the soldiers' determination to start the war." Yang Rui said, "We must fight a war with the Japanese, but when the war will start depends on the situation in China and abroad, and also on how the parties are prepared. Then..." Yang Rui said this and looked at Pan Shizhong, "The air force is also extremely important. They can not only help you reconnaissance, but also sink enemy ships and defend the sea. You go back first, take me to greet the officers and soldiers of the submarine force, and tell them: Always be vigilant and defend the motherland!"

"Yes! Prime Minister Jinzun's instructions!" Colonel Tian Shijie stood up and saluted quickly when he heard this. He had finished all he wanted to say, and the rest was to return to the army to standby and start the war.
Chapter completed!
