The East China-class battleship is a 35,000-ton behemoth, belonging to the super-sentenceless ship level and the peak level of the super-sentenceless ship.

Twelve 360-main guns, twelve 135-second guns, four-unit 60-air anti-aircraft guns, and five-unit 30-air anti-aircraft guns.

With powerful firepower, powerful armor, and a speed of more than 25 knots, it is the fastest super fearless battleship at present.

Battleships are extremely complex things. To create such complex war machines, you must have long-term technical experience accumulation.

However, China is an exception. In just six years of development, the navy has independently built battleships.

Whether the battleship can be used and the quality is the most concerned issue for senior management in East China.

In early July, the famous Jutland Naval Battle broke out between Britain and Germany, which lasted more than a month before the original history. However, in this naval battle, the British navy was even worse than in history.

Because Germany put a large number of submarines into naval battles, and Germany also dispatched airships and bombers, which was completely different from the fact that airships hid in the port and slept heavily in history.

Inspired by the Sino-Japanese War, the German Navy used planes and airships in naval battles. While the fierce artillery battle broke out in the Jutland region, German bombers caused heavy damage to British warships.

However, this naval battle was still a naval battle without results. Although Britain had twice as many warships as Germany, it lost a lot of tactical and lost twice as much as the Germans. However, the British navy blocked the German navy back strategically, the British navy won.

However, the British Navy's losses were much more serious than the original history, especially the British Navy's failure to pay attention to torpedo protection, which resulted in serious losses.

After the naval war, both the British and Germans proclaimed that they had won the naval war. From a tactical and strategic perspective, both sides can indeed be said to have won.

It was only after the end of the Jutland Naval War that other countries realized the problems of battleships at this stage.

In contrast, East China-class battleships have long corrected these problems, increasing the caliber of the main gun, improving the protection of turrets, gunpowder depots and other parts; taking key protective measures, thickening the armor of important parts, reducing or canceling armor of non-important parts; paying attention to horizontal protection, as well as protection of torpedoes below the waterline.

This kind of battleship is also called the 'Post Jutland type battleship..." The East China-class battleship belongs to this kind of battleship, so it is extremely advanced.

On July 16, the East China-class battleship was officially launched.

On this day, the Fuzhou Mawei Military Shipyard was crowded with people. The senior military and political leaders of East China, as well as officers, shipbuilders, heads of East China Ship Manufacturing Company and other parts manufacturing companies arrived at the scene.

These companies responsible for manufacturing warships will participate in the subsequent acceptance work. If the companies are not on their turn, they will live in hotels on the shore, and if they are on their turn, they will go to sea to test the relevant links. In short, it is a very cumbersome and complicated process.

As soon as the auspicious time comes, thirty-six salutes roar one after another, followed by a huge whistle, the battleship Fujian anchored in the shipyard emitted a roar, and the slowly activated Fujian began to slowly sail out of the dock.

The water was launched smoothly and the Fujian was sailing smoothly.

The crowd on the shore suddenly burst into warm cheers, and Xia Jun applauded warmly among the crowd. Xie Jiazhang beside him burst into tears at this moment.

When Xie Baozhang walked on stage to deliver a speech, he choked and said, "I thought that when the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 was defeated, I thought that maybe China would never have advanced warships again, because the Qing Dynasty never regarded itself as a Chinese, and they still positioned themselves as a foreign race that ruled China. This thinking has not changed in the past three hundred years, and the Qing Dynasty has never integrated into China, so they have no bottom line. Later, when I met the Chairman, I rekindled hope. The Chairman led us to complete the beginning of the national rejuvenation that overthrew the Qing Dynasty, and led us to establish a new order and a nation that revitalized vitality.

Today, our navy has the most advanced battleships in the world, whether it is firepower, speed, or armor. Moreover, this is a battleship that is independently manufactured by China. It witnesses the growth of China's science and technology, industrial technology and national strength. It also witnesses China's new pace of becoming a world power.

I believe this is just our beginning. We will have more powerful and more advanced warships in the future. However, we can never ignore the achievements of Chairman Xia. He not only gave the entire China a new life, but also gave the Chinese Navy a new life." Xie Laizhang shouted loudly in his slightly choked voice, "All Navy personnel, Jingzhao..."

Then Xie Jiazhang saluted a military salute like Xia Jun beside him, and all the navy present also saluted Xia Jun with Xie Laizhang.

Xia Jun smiled and greeted a military salute, then he came to the microphone. Everyone in the audience looked at him, with strong support in their eyes.

Nowadays, Xia Jun has become the source of faith. He is one of the beliefs of many citizens and the backbone of all citizens.

"The East China Navy has been established for more than seven years. In the past seven years, the navy has achieved a record no less than the army, and has made great contributions to defending the sea and diplomatic competition. Today, the navy has built the world's most powerful battleship. What I want to say is that I hope the navy will not be complacent, because the world is constantly improving. The progress of the world will not stop accordingly because our pace stops. Today, the navy has the most advanced battleships in the world, which does not mean that it will always be the most advanced.

As the Qian hexagram in the "Book of Changes" says: Heaven moves vigorously, and gentlemen strive for self-improvement. This sentence tells us that the movement of heaven is strong and vigorous, and the turnover is endless. Correspondingly, gentlemen should also be like heaven, strive for progress, be firm and strong, work hard to be strong, and never stop."

As soon as Xia Jun finished speaking, there was an extremely warm applause from below, and he could not stop for a long time.

When the applause gradually stopped, Xia Jun continued: "The Kun hexagram of "The Book of Changes" says: The earth is Kun, and a gentleman carries things with virtue. The earth is strong and harmonious, and a gentleman should increase virtue and carry everything. At the beginning of this new century, the transformation of military technology is changing with each passing day, and new military weapons are constantly emerging. We cannot subconsciously suppress the mainstream non-mainstream military technologies because we have achieved advanced development in the mainstream field, because these are not mainstream military technologies and are highly likely to replace the original mainstream military technologies. If we study the European War carefully, we will find that whether it is the Allies or the Allies, they have made such mistakes.

Our China was the first country to use submarines on a large scale, also the first country to use aircraft for large-scale military operations, and the first country to develop aircraft carriers and combat vehicles. The reason why our China has risen in the military is precisely because we attach importance to military technological innovation, dare to try to use emerging military skills, and with a rigorous attitude of governing the army, we have succeeded, and we exchanged victory for the dignity of the Chinese in the world.

The Navy is a field that is more sensitive to new technologies and surpasses the importance of the Army to military technology. I hope that the Navy will continue to carry forward our glorious traditions in the future and not exclude those emerging military technologies. Only by inclusive of everything is the king of victory for a gentleman. However, I firmly believe that we can do it in the past and in the future, as well as human-made things, there is no impossible!"

Xia Jun's speech greatly inspired the officers and soldiers from the navy, and this speech by Xia Jun was also cited by the navy as the ultimate truth for educating officers and soldiers from the navy. The core is: self-improvement and tolerance.

The two simple points cover the main factors of naval development. They also cover many fields, which is one of the main reasons why the "Book of Changes" can become the foundation of Chinese culture.

The launch test of the "Fujian" began soon. The Fujian was the first completed battleship, so some major problems are very likely to arise. Therefore, the Fujian may also be the weakest combat-capable battleship of the seven built battleships, and the battleships started later can make easier changes to the problems that arise in the design of the Fujian.

However, subsequent tests proved that there were no major problems with Fujian account, and there were many minor problems, but they were all easy to solve.

The launch of Fujian Cases also inspired the morale of the people. The next day after the launch of Fujian Cases, after reports from major newspapers, many newspapers were sold out on the same day.

The development of the Chinese Navy has become a hot topic when people chat.

Lijiang, Yunnan Province became a large construction site after the Spring Festival. Under the leadership of the county magistrate Sun Youxiu, the construction project of railway and highway was soon launched.

The most important one is the highway to Myanmar, which is a national-level project.

After a simple road expansion in the early stage, the car was able to reach northern Myanmar directly.

The Han armed groups in the Kokang area of ​​Myanmar have developed very quickly. Since the beginning of spring, they have annihilated the Tusi tribes in the south, and the surrounding Myanmar indigenous tribes have successively surrendered.

This armed group is actually controlled by the East China government, and the administrative side is separated from the Lijiang County Magistrate, and has excellent hands.

Those indigenous Myanmar tribes who refused to surrender were successively hit. With the expansion of military power, the Kokang Han armed group had controlled the entire mountainous area in northern Myanmar.

Sun Youxiu adopted an assimilation policy in administration, that is, to send teachers to Myanmar to Chineseize those indigenous peoples. This work was then taken over by the newly established International Cultural Propaganda Department.

The integration of the Han people and other ethnic groups has continued from ancient times to the present, and there is no reason to stop the integration in this era. The policy in Myanmar is to sinicize the indigenous peoples and thus make Myanmar a territory of China.

This policy was personally affirmed by the Chairman. Sun Youxiu sent administrative personnel to Kokang since the beginning of the year. Kokang chieftain Yang Lianxing was very involved in this. He was just a small chieftain and had a simple mind. He would not think about so many messy things.

His activities quickly attracted the attention of Dutch colonists...

Today is the 15th Lantern Festival. I wish you a happy family with all your classmates and a happy family.
Chapter completed!
