Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

August 13, 1942, Weihai Bay.

At the mouth of the bay where the current is gentle, the Tong'an with a displacement of 500 tons is cutting through the waves. Compared with the one half a year ago, this destroyer can be described as completely reborn.

The combination of sea and air radar and bottom search sonar has brought about an earth-shaking upgrade in her detection efficiency.

Those 25 and 37 mm anti-aircraft guns that were used everywhere on the deck gave her a certain ability to fight back when facing the Japanese land-based aviation.

As a training ship, you can say that Tongan is old, but you can never deny her comprehensive capabilities.

"Hey, it's so comfortable. With this little wind, Weihai is really a good place. After the war is over, I will definitely bring my comrades from the bureau to the beach for team building."

Standing on the bow deck, Huang He closed his eyes slightly and felt the moist sea breeze gently brushing his cheek.

Two or three bold seabirds landed on the guardrail and cried from time to time. Everything seemed so leisurely.

Whether it is this life or the past life, this is not Huang's first time to go to sea on a boat. But boarding a warship and blowing the sea breeze is a completely new experience.

"Huang He, the cadets at our Naval Academy are pretty good, ugh! I'm not bragging, but in terms of learning attitude, ability and efficiency, our comrades are definitely no worse than the Air Force Aviation School, ugh!"

"Except for the group of students who went to the Caribbean, there are currently 7,000 reservists in the first phase of the sea school, ugh!"

"Give me another two years, and the People's Navy will definitely be able to guard the vast maritime borders of the motherland with greater strength and protect the future rejuvenation of the nation and the happiness of the people."

Compared with the beginning of this year, Director Xiao is now accustomed to the bumpy feeling. He held the bucket and water bottle while vomiting and gargling, and even when he was making a nest in place, he did not forget to chat and laugh with his colleagues.

According to his original words, he was relieved after vomiting.

Taking medicine can help you survive for a while, but not forever. Rather than relying on external objects, it is better to live with the disease.

Huang He was stunned by such a unique scene. While silently lamenting the iron will of his old comrade, he generously praised him and focused on maximizing his emotional value.

"Strong, Director Xiao, as expected of you."

"In just half a year, our comrades have become proficient in piloting a destroyer. If War Fox and Army Morale Wizards can see it, they will definitely be very pleased."

"So, the important task of being the leader of the Navy still needs to be handled personally by the older generation like you."

As soon as these words came out, Director Xiao immediately showed a proud and satisfied smile. Even the depression when I just discovered that the Yellow River does not get seasick was somewhat diluted by joy.

However, as an old comrade, he disdains taking credit from others, let alone taking credit for the efforts of the entire team.

After rinsing his mouth again, the seasick commander looked at Liu Gong Island, which was getting closer. Considering that his colleagues have been living outside the Great Wall all year round, he specifically explained:

"At this stage, the personnel of the People's Navy and sea schools are roughly divided into four categories. The first is naturally the elite soldiers selected from the five provinces of Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong, Henan and Suizhou. These comrades are the backbone of the army."

"The second group comes from coastal areas such as Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong and Qiong. They were armed maritime guerrillas before entering maritime schools and have certain inherent advantages in naval warfare and navigation."

"The number of people in the third and fourth groups is small, so I will finish it in one breath. The former is the legal advisory group headed by Philip, and the latter is the Fujian group headed by Salo."

"So, you should be able to guess my main job now. After all, you are my recommender, haha."

Even though Director Xiao didn't point it out clearly, Huang He, as a time traveler, still understood the other party's subtext instantly. Without it, it is ideological and political work.

In addition to the French advisory group, the current People's Navy and Maritime Academy are composed of three forces.

Therefore, integrating people's hearts and strengthening unity will play a vital role in whether the future North Sea Fleet can advance steadily and form a strong combat effectiveness.

After all, ideological work has always been the lifeline of our army.

If the fledgling navy does not do a good job in ideological and political construction of the troops, it will be impossible to implement the army-building routes, policies and tasks of the border areas with a unified consciousness.

After the idea came to his mind, Huang He patted his comrade on the shoulder with a serious look. At this moment, he had a more intuitive understanding of the heavy responsibilities shouldered by his colleagues.

"Thank you for your hard work. Our Weapons Experimentation and Research Bureau will definitely continue to work hard to help the North Sea Fleet get on the right track as soon as possible!"

As if he felt that he was asking for credit, Director Xiao first took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, and then continued:

"Actually, my work is not troublesome. Philip and Sao are the most tired people at this stage. The navy is a technical force. Without advanced science and technology and talents familiar with technology, how can we talk about a decisive battle with the combined fleet."

"After I finish my business today, I will take you around Liugong Island. Then you will understand how busy their daily schedule is."

In the early days of the founding of the army, the educational level of the comrades selected from the army was relatively low, and their naval knowledge could be described as poor.

The Fujian clan has a good foundation, and some senior commanders even have good combat experience.

However, with the frequent updates of naval armaments and the continuous escalation of the intensity of war, the only consequence of not learning is to be beaten to death by the torrent of the times.

Therefore, it is urgent to strengthen shipboard education for soldiers so that they can master naval technology as soon as possible. This is also the main reason why the border area agreed to A Chou's trade request.

"Okay, no problem."

"It won't take long to get the business done anyway, and I have to wait for the trading fleet to arrive before I can leave. I'll take a stroll with you and see the spirit of our future North Sea Fleet."

"Haha, good!"

······

After more than 20 minutes of sailing, Huang and Xiao finally arrived at the destination of this trip: Liugong Island.

This is an island with an overall C-shaped shape. Its excellent geographical location and terrain make it a natural military port since ancient times.

"Two leaders! Hold on to the guardrails around you, we're about to dock!"

After the Tong'an entered the port and stopped steadily, Huang He took the lead in landing on the island and began to look around curiously.

In his previous life, he had been here as a tourist, but some core areas were not open to the public. Now that he has high enough authority, he naturally wants to take a good look.

After walking two steps, Huang saw the famous stone tablet in later generations. Although the time on it is different, the specific content is almost exactly the same as the original timeline.

As if sensing Director Xiao's burning gaze, Huang He said half seriously and half jokingly:

"Hey, who hasn't lived through poverty? It's no big deal. And don't underestimate fishing boats. Maybe our fishermen can go out to sea in the future to help the border area deter the enemies who are eyeing them covetously."

"But this stone tablet must be kept well and used as a warning to future generations."

"Our fine style must be passed down, and we must not become like Dai Ying. Don't look at the Royal Navy's glory now, they may become a group of rotten fish and shrimp in a few decades."

When hearing the fishermen going out to sea, Director Xiao nodded subconsciously.

Not to mention the future, many guerrillas on the southern coast are also fishermen, so he naturally believes his colleagues' speculation.

Just when the two were about to move forward, Huang He suddenly stopped and asked a long-buried question with curiosity.

"Why is the first sentence of the stone tablet written down? Shouldn't it be the main text directly? Or do these three words have some special meaning in themselves?"

Hearing this, Director Xiao's expression was a little strange.

Writing down these three words was actually his opening remarks when talking to the ace stenographer. No one expected that LYL would write down the whole article.

But it's okay to have more, not to mention that they are three words that directly point out the main point.

"Well, it's all coincidence, haha."

After chatting, the two have arrived at the Beiyang Navy Admiral's Mansion.

This brick and wood structure building complex with a history of 55 years and an area of ​​10,000 square meters was originally the combat command center of the Beiyang Navy.

Now, this is the temporary command center of the North Sea Fleet and the work place of comrades.

After bringing Huang He to the office, Director Xiao first poured a cup of tea for his colleague, then said hello and went straight to the Naval School to ask for help. Mr. Sa is almost 90 years old this year, and it is more or less impolite to send only the serviceman.

While waiting, Huang, who was free, found a document on the table, which read "Navy Force Education Plan (Provisional Edition)".

"The education plan jointly formulated by the two legendary captains and Director Xiao is interesting."

As the saying goes, it takes ten years for the Air Force and a hundred years for the Navy.

The reason why the Navy is difficult to scale up is that in addition to the shipbuilding time and technical barriers, the training of crew members and senior commanders is also a difficult problem.

Theoretically, if a naval school student wants to graduate smoothly, he must not only pass systematic and formal training, but also go through the stage of shipboard learning.

In non-war years, ordinary soldiers need to study for at least one year. The training time required for middle and low-level commanders is longer, and three to five years is common.

However, the North Sea Fleet does not have such a long time. The border area urgently needs to break the Japanese blockade of coastal areas and port cities, and prepare for the counterattack on the mainland.

In desperation, Xiao, Sa, and Philip could only formulate a blitz education plan that focuses on single-person application technology while fighting and building.

To put it bluntly, we will not talk too much about theory for the time being, and adopt a special policy of learning what is useful, mastering one subject first and then learning other subjects.

Of course, schools such as navigation, guns, torpedoes, and electromechanical will also be established one after another. However, comrades can only enter these professional schools in batches.

In fact, Ah Chou, Dai Ying and De San also adopted a similar plan in this world war. After all, the three brothers made submarines very quickly, and they also forced a large number of soldiers in a certain period.

These roughly usable sailors performed very poorly in the early stage of the war, and there were even captains who bombed whales as submarines.

But as long as a certain amount of time is given, the soldiers can apply what they have learned and even integrate it.

Before that, we can only work harder for the brother troops and allies, let the comrades of the Air Force help more on the battlefield, and let the Free French Navy lead the way.

·······

Just as Huang He was reading the "Education Plan (Provisional Version)" word by word, a navy combination of two middle-aged and one old man pushed the door and walked into the office.

Hearing the door opening and footsteps, he collected the documents and raised his head, obviously looking very alert.

"Hello, Director Huang. I often hear Commander Xiao and General Philip mention your deeds. Thank you for everything you have done for the Chinese Navy. On behalf of those colleagues who sacrificed their lives, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you."

Seeing an old man in his eighties about to bend down and bow, Huang He rushed over and helped him sit on the sofa in the office.

This legendary Chinese captain is an extremely rare veteran of four dynasties. If there is any accident to such a living fossil in modern history, it will be a huge loss.

Seeing Huang's cautious look, Mr. Sa couldn't help laughing.

He is indeed in his eighties, but his body is still strong, otherwise he would not have traveled to many places to do anti-Japanese propaganda.

"Haha, Director Huang, don't worry, the old man is in good health."

"Don't give up when a dragon swims in shallow water, there will be a day to raise your eyebrows. I finally saw the opportunity for the rise of the navy, and I must live to witness the destruction of the Japanese pirate fleet with my own eyes."

Although the old man repeatedly emphasized that his body was still healthy, Huang He was still a little worried. After hesitating for a long time, he said in a tactful tone:

"Okay, you will definitely live a long life. But you still need to rest more, and let Philip do the teaching on board."

"By the way, I heard that the Japanese Navy has just formulated the Maru 5 shipbuilding plan. In this plan, there are two super-heavy cruisers code-named B65, and the first ship is named Yoshino."

As soon as the voice fell, the smiling expression of Mr. Sa disappeared without a trace. His brows were furrowed, his face was full of clouds, and the handle of the cane was clenched with a crackling sound.

Seeing this, Director Xiao quickly nudged Huang He with his elbow, signaling him not to bring up the matter.

Just when Philip, who was poor at Chinese but good at history, was about to change the subject, Mr. Sa suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed:

"Good, good, good! What a Yoshino! Today, the world is shedding tears, and you have made the navy more powerful! Zhengqing, I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to avenge you in my lifetime!"

"Don't worry, Director Huang, I will do my best to escort the new North Sea Fleet!"

"I received the call, and I must respond, as always."

······

Considering the advanced age of his colleagues, in order to prevent the old man from being too stimulated, the legendary French captain hurriedly changed the subject and said:

"Huang, what treasure did you bring to Shandong Province this time? Can your weapons research bureau solve the problem that Sa and I reported? The boys in the naval school are waiting for training."

Hearing this, Huang He nodded repeatedly.

"It's a small matter. I have brought the new air and sea search radars. Regarding air defense, the bureau has prepared the latest VT proximity fuse for the comrades."

"With this thing, Richelieu can lead the fleet in the Mediterranean without any obstacles." (End of this chapter)
