[28] The former Feng Army actually had an aircraft carrier
, Zhang Xueming and Yang Yuting, at Yingkou Port. They only stayed for a day.
Before he left.
Zhang Xueming left Shen Honglie a promise.
The completion of Huludao Port and Huludao Shipyard would be the time for the Fengtian Navy to update.
At first, Shen Honglie did not understand the meaning behind it.
However, when Yang Yuting explained to Shen Honglie that the Fengtian Military Factory had undergone earth-shattering changes under Zhang Xueming's leadership, Shen Honglie was so excited that he almost cried.
Even in his dreams, Shen Honglie wanted a powerful naval fleet.
During Marshal Zhang's reign.
Although the models of the coastal defense fleet were old, they could be considered to have fulfilled Shen Honglie's naval dream.
Zhang Xueming's promise had a hidden meaning.
As long as the shipyard had the ability to build ships, Zhang Xueming would design the ship blueprints and send Zhou Tiannan to the Huludao shipyard to build warships for the Fengtian Navy.
How could Shen Honglie not be excited?
He immediately expressed his stance.
Regardless of the difficulties, he would finish the construction of the Huludao port and shipyard in the shortest time possible.
Just like Shen Honglie and Zhang Xueming had promised.
Not long after Zhang Xueming and Yang Yuting left Fengtian, a grand plan to empty the Dagu Shipyard secretly began.
Shen Honglie was very cunning.
In the face of the repeated urging from the Jiang faction's government to evacuate the ships, Shen Honglie's Tai Chi was like a tiger.
Secretly giving money to important officials to stall for time.
The mastermind seized every opportunity to dismantle the Dagu shipyard and not even a screw was left behind. They were all packed and secretly transported to Yingkou Port.
He even coaxed the technicians and workers from Dagu Shipyard to Yingkou Port.
Even the stall vendor selling pancakes at the entrance of Dagu Shipyard was coaxed to Huludao.
He praised his name.
The people of Dagu Shipyard liked this.
One could imagine.
Shen Honglie had gone crazy in order to build the Huludao Port and shipyard as soon as possible.
This matter had always been carried out in secret.
It did not attract the attention of the Jiang government.
Until one day three months later.
When the Feng army and the Jiang army handed over the Dagu Shipyard, the important officials of the National Government in charge of the handover looked at the empty Dagu Shipyard and almost cried.
It was later spread among the people.
None of the important members of the National Government responsible for the handover returned to report.
The entire family disappeared without a trace.
This matter…
It was also jokingly called the Republic of China version of the straw boat borrowing arrows.
After returning to Fengtian.
Zhang Xueming didn't know how many times he had entered into the busy design once again.
After returning from Yingkou Port.
Zhang Xueming sighed. There was still a long way to go for the navy.
Even though Zhang Xueming had used all sorts of high-pressure methods to solve many problems, there were still many problems waiting to be solved.
Especially the number and model of the naval vessels.
Although the Feng army claimed to have the 1st and 2nd coastal defense fleets and the northeast river defense fleet, they only had 26 ships.
Among them, there were 3 cruisers, 1 destroyer, 11 gunboats, 6 gunboats, and 3 transport vehicles.
Other than that.
There were also two training ships and two aircraft carriers.
At first glance, it was not weak.
But in fact, most of them were small boats that weighed nearly 200 tons.
Especially the two training ships and aircraft carriers, Zhang Xueming was speechless.
The so-called aircraft carrier was the early aircraft carrier.
Most of them were modified from merchant ships or cargo ships. They were very simple and crude, and they were equipped with seaplanes to attack the enemy.
After the real aircraft carrier appeared.
In order to distinguish the two, they were called seaplane carriers.
The rumors of the later generations were not without traces.
Counting from the Republic of China period.
Commander Zhang, the King of the Northeast, indeed owned the first aircraft carrier in history.
These 26 ships were treated like treasures.
Even the Jiangs were drooling over the Fengs.
Ever since Zhang Xiaoliu had verbally agreed to change his allegiance to Jiang, Jiang had repeatedly urged him to change the name of the Feng Navy.
He also wanted to transfer the command of the navy to the National Government as soon as possible.
However, the 26 warships of the Feng Navy that everyone treated as treasures were really like scrap metal in Zhang Xueming's eyes.
Zhang Xueming had participated in the design of the 052D destroyer in his previous life.
Naturally, they did not look up to the warships at that time.
Zhang Xueming considered the construction of the Huludao Shipyard and finally decided on the Iowa-class battleship.
The Iowa-class battleship was the longest, fastest, and most powerful battleship in the world.
At the same time.
World-renowned warship, the pinnacle of the doctrine of giant warships and cannons.
It was the most powerful two-dimensional war form of mankind. In an era without missile weapons, battleships had a well-deserved dominance.
Zhang Xueming's goal was clear from the beginning.
In order to point a sword at the East Ocean Island, the Iowa-class battleship was an important weapon that the navy could not obtain.
The design of the Iowa-class battleship gave Zhang Xueming a headache for a long time.
It wasn't because of design difficulties.
It was just too complicated.
The design started in mid-February and was only completed in mid-March.
Soon after.
Zhou Tiannan was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth when he saw the blueprint.
Zhang Xueming ordered.
Before the construction of the Huludao Shipyard started, Zhou Tiannan led his team to study the blueprints that were as tall as a man.
Moreover…
With the construction of the Iowa-class battleships as the primary goal, the plan to rebuild the Huludao Shipyard was to be completed.
Zhang Xueming, who had finished designing the Iowa-class battleship, was faced with another problem.
That meant that Feng Jun's finances were in dire straits.
During Marshal Zhang's reign, the northeast was extremely rich, and the Department of Finance had an annual surplus of nearly ten million taels.
However, after two wars and two northern expeditions, the financial reserves of the Fengtian Finance Department were exhausted at an alarming rate.
After Zhang Xueming took office, he started construction with great boldness.
It had completely caused Fengtian's finances to turn red, and it was already unable to make ends meet.
Now.
Zhang Xueming once again built the Huludao port and battleships. The budget alone was enough to make the head butler of the Feng Army, Yang Yuting, complain.
"Marshal, the Fengtian Finance Department can't afford it.”
Yang Yuting looked at the budget of the Feng-series battleships given by Zhang Xueming and felt a headache.
This year.
The military strength of the Feng army continued to rise, and Yang Yuting could barely maintain it with all his might.
Huludao Port Reconstruction Plan.
It was the money that Yang Yuting had painstakingly raised from private capital over the past month.
Yang Yuting did not know what a battleship was.
However, Yang Yuting could still count the amount of funds required.
Fengtian
could not even take out a single silver dollar…
