1890 King of Southeast Asia

"Xiaofeng, after you go down, you should take a rest for a while! Write a self-criticism by the way."

After landing, Li Xiangrong handed his gun to the ground crew and said to Hu Feng.

"What?...Yes..." Hu Feng was still immersed in the fatal attack he launched. This time, the shooting was very smooth. The whole attack process was under his absolute control, including the hit.

When he heard Li Xiangrong's words, he was shocked at first, and then he immediately thought of the reason, and his back collapsed.

Take a rest.

If it was a simple vacation, Li Xiangrong didn't need to specifically mention it, and now he is so busy training his juniors, how can he have time for a vacation?

Everyone's vacation is owed, and they will only rest for one or two days when they dock to maintain the aircraft carrier or the aircraft for major maintenance.

And Li Xiangrong also mentioned writing a self-criticism.

Then, the meaning is very clear, he was grounded.

But he can also understand that on the eve of the mission, as the mission executor, he was timid and even retreated, and he was distracted during the flight.

If he were given such a soldier, he wouldn't want it himself.

Hu Feng even thought in his heart that if this performance was not so important, he might have been taken away by the military police at the moment of the first landing.

"Master, can I ask how long the flight will be suspended?" Hu Feng asked with expectation.

"How long? How long?"

"Until you realize your mistake! Until I think you are qualified to fly again!"

Li Xiangrong took a breath and said with regret.

Hearing this, Hu Feng was relieved at first, and then very annoyed.

The master's words clearly meant that he was going to keep him, rather than retire him after reporting.

But how to make the master believe in himself is another very difficult thing.

For a long time in the future, the only chance he can touch the plane should be when he maintains the plane.

...

"Hu Feng, report to His Majesty, my name is Hu Feng." Hu Feng looked at Liu Yiming in panic.

The emperor of the empire, Liu Yiming, did not look as majestic and sacred as Hu Feng thought, and he was untouchable like a god.

On the contrary, the 44-year-old Liu Yiming looked very young. If Hu Feng had not known the age of the emperor, he would have thought that he was a young man in his thirties.

He looked very warm, with a smile on his face, and seemed to be quite approachable.

"Hu Feng? Your driving skills are very good. I saw you dropping the torpedo. It was very smooth. Just like that, lowering the altitude, leveling, aiming, launching, and disengaging, all in one go. It can be seen that you have put a lot of effort into flying."

Liu Yiming used his hand as an airplane, gestured, and said with a smile.

Liu Yiming saw the attack process just now. Although he didn't see it very comprehensively, Hu Feng's plane happened to be in his field of vision after descending the altitude.

The whole process was very smooth, and the total time from reaching the predetermined altitude to disengaging would not exceed one minute.

Of course, it is different in actual combat. In order to avoid anti-aircraft firepower, torpedo attack aircraft may enter low altitude in advance and fly at low altitude for a long time.

"How long have you been flying?" Liu Yiming looked at the nervous little pilot and laughed.

"Your Majesty, I have been flying for three years since school, and the total flight time is about 2,000 hours." Hu Feng answered mechanically.

Although Liu Yiming looked approachable, he still did not reduce his nervousness. In fact, this unexpected difference made him more nervous.

"One thousand hours, so many, what position are you in now?" Liu Yiming exclaimed.

One thousand hours, in World War II, it was also an elite pilot, not to mention in World War I, but now there should be a lot of pilots in Europe with more than a thousand hours of flight time.

Since the first trench appeared, both sides have only done two things, first: how to make their own trenches stronger; second: how to break through the enemy's trenches.

In this case, the aircraft quickly evolved from a reconnaissance weapon to a combat weapon, from the initial pilot carrying a small pistol to several heavy machine guns on the aircraft, and fighter jets appeared.

"Report, I am the deputy captain of the first torpedo attack aircraft squadron, and I am also an assistant instructor of the flight cadet class."

Seeing Hu Feng always so nervous, Liu Yiming was embarrassed to continue like this, and kept smiling and walked to the next one.

Liu Yiming let them leave after chatting with everyone for a few words.

"Your Majesty?" Yang Boning looked at Liu Yiming, who was a little disappointed, and called softly.

"It's okay, I just felt a little emotional when I looked at this ship." Liu Yiming smiled.

"I won't eat the meal, I probably won't eat well with them."

"Sort out the files as soon as possible and send them to me with the quotation within three days."

"The transformation of the aircraft carrier must be completed as soon as possible. I hope to take the aircraft carrier with the second fleet to Europe, but just to feel the atmosphere and observe the combat habits of Britain and France."

"The training of pilots cannot be left behind. In the future, we will have many aircraft carriers and need countless pilots. If there are not enough teachers, we can let the old teach the new."

"As for this ship, let's call it Suirenshi."

Fire is the origin of civilization. Liu Yiming named the first aircraft carrier this name in the hope that the ship would become a kind of fire, and a spark could start a prairie fire.

"Suirenshi?" Yang Boning repeated while secretly glancing at Liu Yiming, and found that Liu Yiming was staring at the east, which was the direction of Sulawesi.

"This name is good, this name is good." Yang Boning said it twice in a row.

He found that Liu Yiming's emphasis on aircraft carriers far exceeded his imagination.

Who is Suirenshi? In Chinese legend, there is a saint who discovered the method of drilling wood to make fire!

Suirenshi's discovery allowed ancient Chinese humans to control the power of fire, cook food, increase food sources, and bid farewell to the barbaric era of drinking blood and eating raw meat. It was the beginning of Chinese civilization.

Using this name as the name of an aircraft carrier, doesn't it mean that this is just the beginning?

What else is behind it? Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors? That's eight ships!

Including this one, there are a total of nine ships. Even if there are no Five Emperors, there must be at least Three Sovereigns, right? That's also four ships. It seems that he, the commander of the torpedo force, is going to rise!

There are so many fleets in the Chinese Empire, and there are no four warships of more than 10,000 tons that can be allocated. In normal times, there is no warship concentrated in the North Pacific Fleet during wartime.

10,000-ton warships are very expensive, and China needs warships in many places.

Apart from other things, there needs to be one in Arabia, one in New Guinea, one in Hawaii, and one in the confrontation with Japan in Ryukyu.

Even if the Java class that has not yet been put into service is included, there are only eight before, and it is too difficult to take care of them. They can only be rotated reluctantly, and cruisers are often used to hold up.

Fortunately, the confrontation in Europe has prevented China from investing too much energy in Arabia, and only needs to focus on dealing with Japan and the United States.

And this is exactly what the British want to see. They don’t have time to take care of South China, so let Japan and South China confront each other, and introduce the United States to achieve a balance.

This was originally a good strategy, but the British did not expect that the Japanese were the most restless, sneak attacking China, and at the same time, they also attacked South China.

Then, South China used warships to block Japan’s external traffic, and then threatened the Japanese with the main battleships. Once the Japanese main fleet has a tendency to leave Japan, various warships can be found on the Japanese mainland, forcing the Japanese main fleet not to withdraw its main force to go to war.

Japan wanted to fight a decisive battle, but China did not fight with it. It was just wasting time there, and Japan was exhausted.

The Qing-Japanese War also lasted for a long time, and the Russo-Japanese War lasted even longer. Japan did not collapse, not because it was more prepared, but because Japan's external transportation was always smooth and it could obtain supplies.

In the era of free trade, if you want to obtain supplies, you just need money. Coincidentally, Japan had two financial sponsors, Britain and the United States, and had money to buy supplies and transport them back.

China fought differently, not confronting Japan head-on. Anyway, if you come, you will fight a positional war with me. If you go to liberate the transportation line, you will be prepared to lose the fleet and be bombarded on the mainland.

After Japan surrendered, not counting the warships waiting to be received, the number of battleships of the Chinese Empire reached 9, and without Japan as an opponent, the pressure on the Chinese Navy was reduced a lot.

It can devote more energy to deal with the only remaining competitor in the Pacific-the United States.

However, the United States is currently busy doing business and is not willing to invest too much money in the military. Congress does not want to join the war.

"That's it. I'll go back first." Liu Yiming stretched and looked around, wanting to take some souvenirs.

This is his habit, a habit he kept during the Nanhua period. The first rifle produced - the Type 91 rifle, the first shotgun, the first heavy machine gun, the first rocket launcher, and even the first tank were all taken away by him.

"I'm ready." Yang Boning took a box from the staff officer.

"The 500:1 model of the Suirenshi aircraft carrier. The materials used in making it are all from the Suirenshi aircraft carrier. The materials used in these aircraft models are reused from the materials replaced from the aircraft during maintenance."

A 500:1 model of an aircraft carrier was placed in the box. The shipyard workers had processed it as finely as possible. Although it didn't look very exquisite, it was just like that, revealing a rough and wild style, which just matched the style of the battleship.

"Very good, it will be in the most conspicuous position in my exhibition hall." Liu Yiming grabbed the box with satisfaction, and the secretary behind him hurriedly took it over.

But the box was a bit heavy, and it almost fell to the ground. He blushed before he could hold it steady.

"I'll take it. I like it."

"Then I'll leave first. Everyone, I hope that when we meet again next time, you will have medals on your chest." Liu Yiming smiled and waved, walked out of the bridge, and walked to the ladder.

He got off the ladder and sat in a small boat, which then sailed to the Immigration Ship not far away...
