August 15th.
Today was the day when the warships of the Imperial Navy were launched into the sea. The entire Yangguang Harbor was decorated with lights and streamers.
After all, today was a very important day.
Because it was the first anniversary of the establishment of the Great Hua Empire.
On the first anniversary of the founding of the Great Hua Empire, Su Ji did not plan to hold any celebrations or military parades.
On the one hand, it was to keep it a secret.
Now that the royal army had entered a period of secret development, they naturally could not be pulled out to parade and display their strength.
On the other hand, Su Ji felt that it was unnecessary.
Right now, the most important thing for the Great Hua Empire was to store up grain for strategic storage and prepare for the war.
Therefore, this time, the Royal Navy's collective entry into the water could be considered a one-year anniversary gift.
The Imperial Navy naturally had to make preparations.
Early in the morning.
The emperor of the Great Hua Empire, Su Ji, the head of the Imperial Gold Palace, Gu Qingcheng, the Minister of Military Industry, Wang Mingfu, the Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Army, Gao Shoude, the Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Air Force, Shi Yongming, the Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Navy, Meng Hai, and other high-ranking officers attended the launching ceremony.
According to the report from the Royal Navy Shipyard.
Currently, the Royal Navy Shipyard had produced two battleships with a displacement of 20,000 tons, eight destroyer, ten cruisers, and a total of 20 minesweeper, frigate, landing ship, and landing craft!
A total of 40 warships were built in half a year. This construction speed was quite good.
Including the two Iowa-class battleships awarded by the system, the Royal Navy now had a total of 42 warships.
I look up to the harbor.
All the new warships were decorated with red flowers and lined up neatly on the dock.
At the front were four battleships, followed by eight destroyer and ten cruisers. At the end were minesweeper, corvette, landing craft, and other ships. A total of 42 warships were neatly arranged. The scene was quite spectacular.
A stage was set up in the open space of the military port. It was decorated with lanterns and streamers. The launching ceremony of the new warship of the Great Hua Empire's Royal Navy.
All the high-ranking officers, the senior management and workers 'representatives of the Royal Navy Shipyard, and other important personnel who attended the ceremony had already arrived at the scene.
Very quickly.
The launching ceremony officially began.
First, the Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Navy, Meng Hai, gave a short opening speech. He described the difficult and sad development of the Royal Navy and then said,"Next, let's invite the greatest monarch of our Great Hua Empire to give a speech.”
Pa, pa, pa…
Applause rang out.
Su Ji stepped onto the stage and looked at the crowd.""I am very happy today because today is a special day.”
"It's not just the day when the Empire's navy ships are launched, but also the first anniversary of the establishment of the Great Hua Empire.”
"In the past year since the founding of the empire, the Great Hua Empire has been developing steadily. It has achieved significant results in all aspects, and its overall strength is also rising rapidly.”
"Right now, the world is in turmoil, and wars are happening frequently. The entire Earth is burning red from the flames of war. Under such a background, the Imperium needs a powerful army to ensure the long-term stability and development of the country!”
" 75% of the Earth is ocean, so it can be seen that you can reach any place in the world through the ocean. Therefore, Mahan's 'Sea Power Theory' came into being. The development of most of the world's economic powers is indeed closely linked to the ocean.”
" Whether it's history or the present, the importance of the ocean is indescribable. The world's land resources are getting more and more exhausted. Only the ocean still contains rich resources. Whoever owns the ocean will play a dominant role in the future world.”
"I am well aware of the importance of the navy. For any great country, the construction of a navy is necessary, so I have high hopes for the Royal Navy.”
"Today, so many warships have entered the water at the same time. I feel very gratified. It is also the best gift the navy has given to the empire for the first anniversary of its founding."
"However, the second-class must guard against arrogance and impatience. Next, we will continue to develop the navy's multi-armed forces, develop aircraft carriers, submarines, and other advanced warships.”
"I believe that it won't be long before the Great Hua Empire's navy will become the world's number one navy! They could sail anywhere in the world!”
The speech ended.
pa, pa
A loud round of applause rang out.
In this speech, Su Ji expressed the importance of the navy and placed even more hope on it.
This meant that Su Ji and the Great Hua Empire would spend more manpower, resources, and money on naval construction.
It was worth mentioning that the Royal Navy Shipyard could only produce some surface ships at the moment. It could not produce advanced ships such as aircraft carriers and submarines.
Of course.
The Royal Navy Shipyard's research institute was also researching and manufacturing aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines.
After Emperor Su Ji finished his speech, the Great Hua Empire's national song," Bravely Advance to the World," began to play.
"Rise, people of the Imperium. Our goal is the sea of stars."
Accompanied by the powerful and passionate national song, the new naval warships began to move out of Yangguang Military Port.
A total of 42 warships sailed out to sea. The whole scene was quite spectacular and shocking.
