Chapter 1127, the establishment of the Pacific Fleet

Wu Shaoting now has no need to explain this to his subordinates. At this time, he just wants to take out the authority of the head of state to issue orders. The development of the navy must move forward in the direction he has set. (_)

"The funds obtained from the sale of battleships are used to invest in the Longji-class 2 ships and brand new large aviation battleships. The other third is used to further study my country's naval talents. The old schools such as Mawei Shipbuilding School and Nanjing Naval Academy alone are no longer enough to solve the current needs of our Chinese navy. We must open a new naval school with modern concepts and equipment to expand the scale of naval training." Wu Shaoting said loudly.

"It is a good thing to open a new naval school. There are also discussions in the department. As long as the funds come, there should be a conclusion before the end of the year." Cheng Biguang nodded and said.

"In addition, the Longji Detachment has officially completed all sea trials and is currently waiting to be allocated. Moreover, since the Sino-Japanese War has ended and the strategic tasks of the Liaohai Detachment have been completed, this temporary formation can be disbanded. I plan to concentrate all the resources of the Liaohai Detachment and establish a brand new and formal fleet around the Longji Detachment." Wu Shaoting continued.

There was no objection to this proposal. After all, China currently has many idle warships, so naturally we cannot let these warships stay idle. As a brand new naval warship, the Dragon Air Battleship should also actively carry out corresponding tactical exploration activities.

"Since we have recovered Taiwan and obtained the sea area of ​​Tsushima Island and the military community, the coastal defense responsibility of the eastern Pacific region has been increased. We must establish a large fleet with long-range offensive capabilities, which is not only to consolidate coastal defense, but also to demonstrate the military strength of our Republic of China." Wu Shaoting said solemnly.

"What the Head of State said is very true, and it should be necessary now."

"For twenty years, our Chinese Navy has not even had enough passive defense. Now that the fortune is reversed, we should work hard to achieve success!"

"The Republic of China must be able to defend its territorial sea rights, and there is great potential for this."

Many officials agreed that although this incident had no urgent military significance, it could demonstrate sufficient political significance after the end of the Sino-Japanese War.

After Wu Shaoting waited for the remarks at the venue to weaken, he said in a very formal tone: "The name of this brand new fleet is named the Pacific Fleet. The main base is located in Taiwan, the deputy base is located in Naha, Tsushima Island and some North Korean military concessions. Regarding the issue of organization, the Admiralty immediately began to discuss and arrange and give me a detailed report as soon as possible."

Cheng Biguang nodded and replied: "I understand."

Wu Shaoting continued: "The nature of the Pacific Fleet will be different from the three major fleets currently established in the Republic of China, the Beiyang Fleet, the Nanyang Fleet and the Yangtze Fleet. Strictly speaking, they are all naval forces in offshore waters. However, the Pacific Fleet must have the ability to run long distances and fight, which can better reflect offensiveness in the military. The establishment of the Pacific Fleet will surely become a turning point in the development of our navy in the Republic of China!"

His last words brought considerable encouragement to everyone present. The navy was originally an offensive army, but unfortunately China suffered repeated hardships, so that its sea control power was always controlled by others. Today, it was able to rebuild the navy's majesty and restore the navy's self-confidence. This will really become a turning point in naval history and a feat that is really a great pleasure.

In the following meeting, Wu Shaoting focused on the establishment of the Pacific Fleet. He hoped to concentrate all elite talents in China to take over this fleet, and hoped to develop the Pacific Fleet into three fleets within the next twenty years, including more than eight aviation battleships.

The Dragon Spear-class battleship is only the first generation of aviation battleships, and its scientific research value is greater than its actual combat value.

Wu Shaoting will never satisfy the aviation battleships that can only carry ten fighter jets. The Dragon Sword-class battleships will soon become second-tier products, mainly used for practical training and sales abroad. He asked the Navy and Naval Industry Department to prepare for larger aviation battleship plans before the end of the year, with a minimum capacity of more than 45 aircraft.

He remembered that when the Japanese super battleship Yamato was attacked by the US aircraft carrier formation, the latter dispatched a total of 360 fighter jets and bombed them in turn for four hours before sinking the Yamato. Without sufficient ship load, it was impossible to exert the real power of the naval aviation force. It would be better to develop the battleship in accordance with the rules.

After the meeting, the Ministry of Defense of the National Defense Department immediately became busy. The Chinese Navy finally ushered in the opportunity for great development, so naturally the whole country had to work hard. What's more, this was the instructions issued by the head of state that for the great cause of the Chinese Navy, all the efforts must be done.

On October 10th, Naomoto returned to Naha and announced the restoration of the Ryukyu Kingdom under the support of the Zhongzhao Team.

The preparations for the restoration of Ryukyu are no longer a day or a night. Since the peace talks led by Nishimotoji Gongmin issued an apology, Ryukyu has long been shrouded in an atmosphere of restoration. Many old people from the Ryukyu Kingdom were very excited, and some local wealthy families in Okinawa Prefecture also felt an opportunity to take advantage of it. The voices of support for the restoration of the country were very strong.

Of course, under the torrent of restoration, there are still some opposition parties who are ignorant of the current affairs. Most of these people are Japanese immigrants. They have lived in the Naha area for a long time and have long regarded this place as Japan's territory. No matter how the Japanese government ceded the land, they would fight to the end from the bottom of their hearts.

Shang Wentai originally planned to take comfort, but the more he comforted the more he helped the Japanese immigrants to increase their sentiment. In desperation, he forced these Japanese immigrants to leave the border of Ryukyu. Since he didn't like Ryukyu, he could simply go back to his hometown. However, the homes and property of these Japanese immigrants were all here, so naturally they would not let the Ryukyu people occupy them. So not only did they refuse to leave, but the opposition continued.

This finally angered Naomoto. The Ryukyu Kingdom is a history of being found. Japanese invaders occupy Ryukyu territory. Now they still stand up to oppose the restoration of the country with a hypocritical attitude. It is simply a big deal. Even the Japanese government apologized for the invasion that year. Can a few star-studded villains still go against the will of heaven?

Immediately, Shang Wentai sent his trusted guard to arrest all the Japanese who caused trouble. He was beheaded in front of the palace gate early the next morning, and the charge was for stolen the country and colluding with the enemy. It is reported that more than 300 opponents died in the second battle. Since then, no matter who they are, as long as they oppose the restoration of Ryukyu, they will be executed.
