Chapter 819 Need to send the shells back

"We're winning another battle!"

The news that the Chinese Defense Forces won the battle cannot be concealed from various media with a keen sense of smell, and there is no need to hide such news.

Late at night on the 11th, the news spread first.

Early the next morning, amid some spontaneous sound of firecrackers, the front pages of major newspapers or the extra-issuance of additional numbers made news of victory.

"The naval battle broke out in the Diaoyu Islands, and the Chinese Navy won a great victory!"

Diaoyu Island, a small island that has never been known to everyone, has since come into the sight of hundreds of millions of Chinese people because of this victory.

"The Chinese Navy is in the East China Sea and washes away the shame of Jiawu!"

The titles placed by some newspapers are a bit exaggerated, but nowadays, the people who have a strong sense of national honor recognize these, and even make several tabloids sell out.

"Our navy defeated the Japanese and sank all their armored ships!" Even the exaggerated words on the streets and alleys often attracted many people to stop and silence.

"Do you know what the three armies are? Army, Navy and Air Force!" People often show off their knowledge, "Do you know, our Chinese army was one of the best in the world when it was placed in the Pioneer Army, and it made the Japanese and Russians scatter. The Air Force is also a first-class level. I haven't experienced air combat in Nanjing, Wuhan and other places in the past few years, and I should have heard of the bombing of planes everywhere in the world? But do you see Japanese or Russians throwing bombs on our heads? It's not that they can't get through, and our planes beat them down early."

After several years of radio training, many people can talk about the victory of the Pioneer Army over the years.

"It's a pity that our Chinese navy has never been able to get the upper hand!" Anyone who can boast on the streets has the potential of a storyteller and knows the way to suppress the situation. "Since the Opium War, our Chinese was blasted open to the sea and fell, the navy has never been able to support it. Until the Beiyang Sino-Japanese War failed, we even lost the money to the East Japanese Japanese. The Japanese got the money and sucked away the blood of the Beiyang and Nanyang fleets, which made them famous as a Shanghai military power in the world."

Nowadays, there are very few intelligence personnel from the Pioneer Army who need to take action to verbally promote and encourage the public. However, Meng Xiang knows the power of these street rumors, and the spread of these gossip is no less than that of later generations.

To this end, behind them, there are still various guidance from the intelligence department. In addition to full-time staff with remuneration, some more eye-catching content is compiled from experts in the intelligence department, which makes some remarks organized and clearer.

"The Japanese navy is now one of the best in the world, even the British and American countries could defeat them. If it weren't for the Japanese navy, our army would not only drive the Japanese army into the sea, but also directly attack the Japanese's hometown and take revenge completely!"

"What a pity!" Someone onlookers took it.

"But now, it's fine. Have you seen it? The Japanese devils' Musashi's number has been sank us!" The boastler said even more proudly.

Ordinary people may not know what it means to sink the Musashi, but they know that the Chinese Navy has also defeated the Japanese Navy for a while.

In this way, the Chinese Navy is no longer a toy in the pond, but has become a real weapon for the country.

Since the scale of the Chinese Navy continued to expand, the huge expenditure of the inaction Chinese Navy has become a part of criticism by many people. If it weren't for the victory in Vladivostok, which slightly relieved the pressure, the spearhead pointed at the navy might have disrupted all Meng Xiang's abacus.

This navy's battle was also a move that Meng Xiang chose to eliminate certain internal conflicts, so that many people would not stare at the fat piece of astronomical military spending and constantly try to seize food.

As Meng Xiang's special fund subsidies were subsidized to people's livelihood and charity projects, military expenditures began to make money from the state's finances.

Meng Xiang also danced the baton of finance, and some of the financial interests became baits thrown by Meng Xiang without any financial pressure, becoming a game of fighting between other forces, limiting some internal contradictions to this.

The victory of this naval battle made the navy no longer a waste-raising item in some people, but also added a layer of fishing net to the ambition of some people, cutting off some greedy thoughts.

There were fewer people who had the navy's expense idea, but there were more radicals who were encouraged by victory to recapture the major islands.

Some anxious parliamentarians even proposed to regain Taiwan and Hainan Island in the next day's parliament.

There were also members of parliament before, but the powerful Japanese navy was in the hearts of everyone. The previous proposals ended with arguments and confusion among all parties.

Now that such a victory is ahead, the recovery of Taiwan and Hainan has become the mainstream call.

"Before detecting Japan and the United States' reaction to this naval battle, it is not advisable to start the island-taking war lightly!" Jiang Baili was worried that Meng Xiang was hot-headed, so he came to persuade him.

Fan Zong and other senior military leaders were also unanimously cautious.

Unlike the people's optimism about war, many senior officials in the military know that the losses of this battle are not very harmful to the overall strength of the Japanese Navy. Nearly half of the elites of the Chinese Navy participated in the battle this time.

In other words, at this time, the Chinese naval talents could only form two such fleets, and all three were barely able to do so.

Four Fearless Class battleships, eight aircraft carriers, and corresponding fleet ships did not have enough skilled personnel to control them. It is okay to start the exercise and patrol, but it is probably a group of rookies for war.

For this naval battle, the fleets in Nanyang and Vladivostok have drawn some elite troops. This is also a reason why the Chinese Navy won more easily this time, and this is also a reason why Meng Xiang felt sorry for the victims.

This is also one of the reasons why the Japanese won this game and the Japanese will not be too worried about the Chinese Navy.

In the early morning of this year, news came from the spies from Japan that the top Japanese leaders were very annoyed by the defeat in this naval battle and had a fight. But in the eyes of the still arrogant Japanese Navy, this victory was just due to the luck of China, and it was also confirmed that Koga Fengyi, who sank to the bottom of the sea with the Musashi, underestimated the enemy.

Anyway, he is dead, it is more appropriate to just hold some hats on top of his head.

The Chinese Navy cannot be ignored, but it has not yet made the Japanese feel a huge threat.

"According to the intelligence we collected from multiple parties, although the number of Chinese Navy exceeded 100,000, there were very few people who could actually go abroad to fight. Although there were many students, it would take at least three years for them to grow up. At that time, we might have defeated the Americans and ruled most of the Pacific Ocean." Even Yamamoto Iroku, who had always been smart, did not take Hua, who achieved this victory~-updated starter~~ Xia Haijun seriously.

"Besides, even if the industry in China is developing very quickly, it will take several years to provide sufficient logistics services and maintenance for many warships." Yamamoto did not know the abnormal repair capabilities of the base, and pointed out the most important point that reassured the Japanese.

Japan, a veteran naval powerhouse, naturally knows the importance of logistics and maintenance systems. These systems are imperfect, so it is difficult to maintain long-distance combat even daily training.

In later generations, many third-rate countries bought advanced German and Soviet submarines, and they were also placed in the port to rust.

Under Meng Xiang's conscious exposure, not only the Japanese, but even other countries were insufficient to the logistics system of the Chinese Navy and unconsciously reduced the threat level of the Chinese Navy.

In short, the Chinese Navy's heads were always labeled as immature, which could only arouse the Japanese's vigilance and could not panic them.

"There are many difficulties in landing on the island, and you need to be careful!" Chen Shaokuan also spoke.

The example of the Germans is there at this time.

The Germans had already attacked London, but the stalemate was there not much progress.

A constantly widening English Channel has already restricted the replenishment of ammunition and personnel for logistics, which has caused great headaches for the Germans. China faces a Taiwan Strait or Leizhou Strait, as if it is facing a natural barrier.

"If we go to recover Taiwan now, we will probably stimulate the Japanese Navy to send the main force to eliminate hidden dangers in the rear!" Although Fan Zhong is not proficient in the navy, he can still see the general trend clearly.

Taiwan not only provides rice, subtropical crops and coal for the Japanese, but also protects the transportation channels from the South China Sea to the main island of Japan. Once attacked by China, it will inevitably stab the hornet's nest and attract a strong backlash from Japan.

The same is true for Hainan Island, which can control the South China Sea.

Not to mention the difficulties of landing on the island, even if the landing on the island is successful, it will lose strategically and block the disaster for the Americans.

The spies not only sent the reactions of the top Japanese leaders, but also the reactions of the top American leaders were Meng Xiang's hands.

Although the Americans would not take the Chinese Navy too seriously, they seemed to see a hope of pushing the Chinese Navy as cannon fodder. Washington is discussing a plan to send personnel to support the Chinese Navy, help the Chinese Navy cultivate talents, and improve the Chinese Navy's logistics system. It has proposed a package of assistance plans to make the Chinese Navy a restraining team that threatens Japan's main island and supply lines.

"We don't mind eating sugar-coated, so don't let this kind of aid be used for nothing." Meng Xiang had already concluded in his heart, "However, we have to take the opportunity to sell a new Musashi battleship to the Japanese. In addition to filling in the Japanese's concerns about China, we also need to send shells back to the Americans."
