Chapter 309 Branches(1/2)
In the ward of a hospital in Beijing, Sa Zhenbing, who was nearly 60 years old, was lying on the hospital bed with a pale complexion. Next to the hospital bed, Liu Guanxiong and others said unfairly.
"Old Sa, since the President is willing to come forward for us, why do you just disagree?"
"yes…"
Because of those newspapers, the parades in Beijing will definitely visit the Admiralty after going to the Japanese Embassy. Until now, because of those bad newspapers, the Navy has completely stinking the streets.
Many people don’t even dare to say that they are from the Navy when they go out-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But even so, the Navy still feels like he can't raise his head in the Ministry of Defense.
Even Liu Guanxiong and others, who were extremely thick-skinned, could not bear this.
The culprits of this situation are those newspapers that report randomly when they catch things!!!
Originally, Yan Guang decided to deal with these unscrupulous media, and Liu Guanxiong and others were still very happy, but unexpectedly, when it came, Sa Zhenbing actually came forward to stop Yan Guang. This made Liu Guanxiong and others a little puzzled. You know, although Sa Zhenbing's body was not very good, it was also very strong. After all, Sa Zhenbing was also a long-time navy general, and had seen many strong winds and waves.
But because of those unscrupulous media, Sa Zhenbing, who was nearly 60 years old, fell ill due to anger...
Until now, Sa Zhenbing is still lying on the hospital bed...
However, facing the questions of the navy generals, Sa Zhenbing just smiled bitterly.
"Aren't what they said the truth..."
However, Sa Zhenbing did not agree to the request for the generals below to fight.
To be honest, Sa Zhenbing has indeed experienced many ups and downs, especially in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894 and later in the Gengzi. The pressure that Sa Zhenbing encountered after these two incidents is definitely not something that ordinary people can imagine.
Therefore, although the unscrupulous reports in the newspaper did make Sa Zhenbing feel a little stuffy. But it didn't take long before Sa Zhenbing wanted to open it. As for lying on the hospital bed now, it was just because of overworking for the navy in the past, which caused many hidden dangers in the body. Then, because of this incident, it all broke out at once.
It is precisely because of this that Sa Zhenbing will never allow the officers below to ask for help...
After experiencing the Sino-Japanese War of 1894 and 1894, the Chinese Navy has only just improved a little in terms of equipment and personnel. At this time, as the Minister of the Navy, how could Sa Zhenbing allow the officers below to fight the Japanese with the little family that the navy had finally accumulated? And it was for the sake of a loyalty...
"well…"
Looking at Sa Zhenbing's stubborn appearance, Liu Guanxiong and others looked at each other and smiled bitterly...
There is no way. If Sa Zhenbing said no, they could only obey.
After all, Sa Zhenbing is different from others. After Liu Buchan, Lin Taizeng, Deng Shichang, Ye Zugui and others died one after another, and Qiu Baoren and others attributed it to the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, Sa Zhenbing is already the oldest in the navy, with many disciples and old friends. A junior like Liu Guanxiong cannot go against Sa Zhenbing's intention...
But just when Liu Guanxiong and the others had no choice, there was a knock on the door outside.
He got up and filled Sa Zhenbing's cup with a cup of hot water, and Liu Guanxiong took a look.
"Who? Come in!"
Hearing Liu Guanxiong's voice, a naval officer with the rank of lieutenant colonel soon walked into the outside.
"Report!"
"What's up?"
Seeing the officer coming in holding a document in his hand, Sa Zhenbingzhi stood up and asked in a harmonious voice.
Seeing that it was Sa Zhenbing asking, the officer dared not hide it, not to mention that this matter was meant to tell Sa Zhenbing. So he cleared his throat and replied.
"The news from the Presidential Palace, the Jinghai Ship that started construction in Fujian seems to be about to be completed, and it is estimated that it will be launched in the next few days!"
"oh?!"
When Sa Zhenbing heard this news, he was really excited.
Even other generals raised their ears. After all, this news is definitely a rare good news when the Navy is in an awkward situation.
"I really didn't expect that I could hear such good news..."
"Yeah yeah…"
Hearing Sa Zhenbing say this, the other naval generals quickly echoed.
More than 3,000 tons of Jinghai Ship...
Although the displacement is not as good as the 4,300-ton Haiqi ship, the Haiqi ship is an old ship with a age of more than ten years and has lagged behind the times in all aspects. The latest Jinghai ship, although the tonnage is one thousand tons smaller than the Haiqi ship, is stronger than the Haiqi ship in terms of both military equipment and power.
In particular, the Haiqi ship is also equipped with a steam turbine as a power system. The speed of the entire ship can reach a very high speed of 30 knots. Compared with the speed of the Jinghai ship is only 24 knots, and this is the speed of the Jinghai ship when it was just launched. The Jinghai ship has been lacking maintenance over the years, and the ship is old...
Now, it is difficult to say whether the Jinghai Ship can maintain a speed of 20 knots.
This means that even if the Jinghai Ship is just a second-class cruiser with a combat effectiveness alone, the Jinghai Ship will be the strongest among the Chinese Navy.
Especially its latest 210mm double naval gun, all three have six 210mm naval guns. In terms of firepower, they are also first-class among cruisers of the same level---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What's more, Sa Zhenbing is still planning to use the Jinghai Ship as a temporary flagship...
"flagship…"
Thinking of the plan Yan Guang had talked to Sa Zhenbing, Sa Zhenbing looked at the officer again.
"In addition to the Jinghai Ship, what news is there in the Presidential Palace?"
"information…"
When talking about this word, the officer seemed to be more excited than he had just said.
"There is another news, that is, after the Jinghai Ship is launched, the first-class cruiser Chaofeng-class heavy cruiser will also enter the construction stage. In addition to the Jinghai Ship, the subsequent two Qinghai class destroyers will also be completed and will enter the launch sea trial stage..."
"Is this what..."
The Jinghai Ship and two other destroyers that are about to be launched, plus a destroyer that has been launched and the Chaofeng-class heavy patrol that is about to be started...
So far, Sa Zhenbing feels that the revival of the Chinese naval for the first time...
"As long as the Asahi-Feng class can be completed smoothly, even if it cannot be compared with the Japanese Navy, at least it can reproduce the glory of the Beiyang Navy back then..."
Looking back on the glory of the Beiyang Navy, which was known as the seventh most powerful world, Sa Zhenbing's originally dim gaze began to become more and more impressive...
The naval officers in other rooms were also excited, even Liu Guanxiong.
After all, even if the navy is not successful in this era, why don’t you want to build a powerful country for China?
---------------------
Tokyo, Japan, the Kuomintang headquarters.
At the gate of the headquarters, although there were two very extraordinary young men standing, they looked very unintended.
And in the building of the Kuomintang headquarters, those Kuomintang members who come and go are also a little decadent...
However, it is no wonder that although the Kuomintang was not banned in the country, it did not suffer too much difficulty. However, with the Kuomintang unifying its ruling power, it is really difficult for the Kuomintang to develop in the country.
If you want to enter the upper level of the government at home, the upper level is just a member of Congress who does not have much power.
And in recent times, some Kuomintang members of the Congress and other parties have been arrested for the military supplies case, which has caused the Kuomintang's already not particularly rich strength to be hit again.
But these are not important.
Because since the Second Revolution, the Kuomintang's power in the country has been very weak. Even if it is a little weak, it only makes some upper-level members of the Kuomintang feel uncomfortable.
What really can't stand Sun Yat-sen and others is...
"The data just passed back from Nanyang and the United States is that there are more than 30 people in Nanyang. There are more than 50 people in the United States, as well as Hong Kong, and there are more than a dozen people in Hong Kong. Even our Japanese headquarters has several people in Japan..."
In the conference room of the headquarters, Chiang Kai-shek, who had been completely trusted, was standing beside Sun Yat-sen, holding a piece of information in his hand and narrating to everyone present.
After listening to Chiang Kai-shek's narrative, whether it was Sun Yat-sen, Huang Xing, or some other important members of the Kuomintang, they all looked ugly.
It’s not a big deal that they were like this. If it were just some domestic losses, Sun Yat-sen and others could still accept it. After all, since the Second Revolution, Sun Yat-sen and others have given up their desire to fight for domestic power by force. As for peaceful evolution, they have gradually faded into this mindset as the domestic development becomes increasingly stable...
Now Sun Yat-sen and others are thinking. They just hope that the Kuomintang can occupy a relatively important position in the domestic regime, as for what else...
This is also why some Kuomintang members did not respond too much after being arrested. Of course, the inability to react is also one of the reasons. After all, those Kuomintang members violated the law is a matter of conclusive evidence, and it is definitely not Yan Guang deliberately slandering them. In this case, even if Sun Yat-sen and others want to say something, what else can they say?
What's more, these people committed the crime of embezzlement that the Chinese people hate the most, and they were also paying money from the national crisis.
only…
If the country is only a relatively important part of the current Kuomintang, those overseas parts are crucial to the Kuomintang.
Before the Revolution of 1911, the Kuomintang was able to launch so many uprisings----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before the Revolution of 1911, the Kuomintang was able to launch so many anti-Qing uprisings because the Kuomintang had a large number of party members and donors overseas. It was precisely because of the large donations from these donors that the Kuomintang, of course, was still the Tongmenghui at that time.
It was officially because of the donors that the Tongmenghui had launched so many uprisings.
Therefore, this part of the offshore area is the core interest of the Kuomintang now.
However, in recent times, the KMT has suddenly established the KMT overseas branches in Southeast Asia, Japan, the United States, Europe, Hong Kong, Macau and other regions.
While these KMT Party branches use their orthodoxy to win over party members, they are also poaching the Kuomintang...
In just one month, the Kuomintang has lost more than a hundred members, and as time goes by, this number is still increasing...
If the Kuomintang has no reaction, it is probably difficult for the Kuomintang to gain a foothold in the overseas part...
"Everyone, do you have any solutions..."
After Chiang Kai-shek stopped telling, Sun Yat-sen, who was sitting in the main seat, knocked on the table and said to everyone present.
However, when Sun Yat-sen's eyes moved to the faces of these people, many people avoided Sun Yat-sen's eyes...
It’s not that they don’t want to say that, but in the current situation, even they don’t have any good solutions.
To be continued...
