    In the No. 4 dock of Mawei New Factory, Bingwen pushed Chen Haohui to follow Yang Qiu.

    Yang Qiu is here to inspect the Navy and Nanyang Fleet. In the dock next to it is the North Sea-class aircraft carrier Balkhash, which was laid down in September last year.

    The Beihai-class is basically copied from the famous Yorktown-class aircraft carrier in the parallel world, with only the anti-aircraft firepower appropriately modified.  The original 8 127mm high-level and flat dual-purpose guns and 16 28mm anti-aircraft guns were replaced with 6 twin 85mm high-level dual-purpose guns, 6 twin 40mm anti-aircraft guns and 8 twin 25mm anti-aircraft rapid-fire guns produced in Zhengzhou.  Domestic anti-aircraft artillery technology is slightly ahead of the world, mainly because he produced a large number of drawings in this area and directly entered the engineering copying stage, copying all Oerlikon and Bofors.  But what dismays him is that the current domestic anti-aircraft artillery technology is actually completely unable to meet the requirements.  Fortunately, Europe and the United States can't come up with something better than their own, so they still have enough time to slowly carve it out. As for the advantage after smashing it, the originally scary design and development costs are all saved.

    Because the number of extended gun mounts on both sides has been increased, the weaknesses of underwater torpedo protection have been repaired, the armor thickness of the anti-torpedo compartment has been enhanced, the German small watertight cabin design has been adopted to increase the redundancy, and the mechanical catapult design that is impractical and cannot be built at the moment has been eliminated.  Later, the final displacement was increased to the standard 21,500 tons, and the full load was 27,200 tons.  The insufficient power set was increased to 14 boilers, a four-axis four-propeller design, a maximum design speed of 32 knots, and an endurance of 20 knots.

    7000 nautical miles, 15 knots

    11,000 nautical miles.  Since the power protection has been increased, it takes up a lot of space, and the loader has not yet been finalized.  Therefore, the estimated number of carrier aircraft is between 70-80.

    Due to reasons such as funding and aircraft selection, the construction of the two aircraft carriers in the 1920 Navy plan has been delayed a lot. The Navy will actually not get the new aircraft carrier until early 1928, which is about the same speed as the launch of Japanese and American modified aircraft carriers.  However, Yang Qiu did not care about the delay in aircraft carrier construction, because peacetime military projects in any era have never been on time.  What's more, aircraft selection has been troubled by the Navy Ministry. He means that since there are two training aircraft carriers, it is better to wait for Bayama and others to see if they can break through.  Use new aircraft directly.  In the end, his opinion prevailed, so the start of construction was a full year late.

    Looking at Chen Haohui and thinking of Dai Yunong who went to Nanyang, Yang Qiu stopped and looked at the outline of the tall aircraft carrier.  Asked: "What are you going to do over there in East India?"

    As the director of the Strategic Intelligence Bureau, Chen Haohui is very aware of the situation in Southeast Asia, especially the Dutch East Indies. He said: "The Southeast Asia is complicated. After Japan captured German Guinea, it gradually penetrated southward. The Netherlands is already dying, and the Dutch East Indies are now powerful.  Apart from the Dutch garrison, the strongest ones are the Islamic guerrillas and indigenous armed forces. We Chinese have abundant funds but a small number of gangs. Although the National Society is influential, Britain and the United States keep a close eye on political parties, and the Democratic Party is on the side and fights with the poor.  The party affiliation is unclear, so what I mean is not to follow the party line Do you want to be like the Lanfang Company back then?"

    Chen Haohui nodded: "Although the Lanfang Massacre was instigated by the British and Dutch, it makes sense that it could develop to the point of founding a country in just a dozen years. The Dutch colonists only had money in their eyes, and the Sumatra Oilfield and Gulf Company had too big goals, so the rain  Farmer has gone to Batavia to register a 'Fanghua Industrial Company'. Fang Rui and I have also sent some people from China to help. My request to him is that within three years, he must not only sort out the Chinese internal affairs, but also cast the net to  In every corner of Southeast Asia, we strive to get news as soon as British, American, French and Dutch ships leave port."

    Yang Qiu still trusts "Boss Dai" in his abilities. He will definitely be able to establish a complete intelligence network in Nanyang in three years.  In fact, now is not only a time for the economy and manufacturing industry to catch up, but it is also a good opportunity for the development of the intelligence sector.  However, it is more difficult for Chinese to engage in intelligence in Europe and the United States.  Mainly because of appearance and language, so the intelligence agency collected a group of four- and five-year-old orphans from Russia and Europe after the European War. These mentally undeveloped children are currently adopted by specially arranged Chinese families and receive special education since childhood.  We have to wait until they grow up to make up for this shortcoming.

    Yang Qiu knows that a good strategic intelligence network cannot be built in a few months.  It takes years or even decades of non-stop penetration and deployment.  Therefore, Nanyang is only the first step. It is necessary to take advantage of the Chinese broadcasters to establish an intelligence network that can cover the whole world within ten years.

    He is not in a hurry. There will be no wars between countries in a short period of time, and there will be enough time to develop slowly.  So after asking about Nanyang, I asked about the situation in Soviet Russia.  Chen Haohui said while rubbing his knees: "The GPU has developed very quickly, and Dzerzhensky's ability to engage in intelligence has exceeded our expectations. However, the devil is as high as the Taoist, and there are already people lurking in the dragon's teeth that were infiltrated in the early years.  , one of whom is still a high-level internal official and is very hopeful to replace him in taking charge of the Soviet Russian intelligence network."

    The "Operation Hidden Teeth" carried out immediately after reunification was a proud work of the Ministry of Intelligence, which took advantage of the internal chaos of the poor party to lurk many "dragon teeth".  Most of these people have not yet been activated, and of course some have been exposed, killed or missing.  Even Yang Qiu didn¡¯t know the specific numbers and list.It was clear, so I was secretly surprised when I heard that someone had approached and might replace Dzerzhensky. I didn't expect that the hidden plot I had casually arranged back then would develop to this extent.  But he didn't ask who it was, because the less people knew about the latent list, the better, so he wouldn't look at the list unless necessary.

    "Stalin has taken power, but Tonotsky will not be restless until he is solved. There will definitely be a fight between the two. I have asked Ryuga to pay close attention to this matter. The latest news from Japan is that the Nagara-class and Kawauchi-class  Most of the 10 light cruisers have been delivered, and all the remaining ones can be put into service by the end of next year at the latest. The construction of two Aoba-class heavy cruisers has also begun after modification. The design has been increased from the original 6 main guns to 8, and the displacement has also been enlarged.  Quite a lot. The business between Nagata Tieshan and Soviet Russia is getting more and more prosperous now. Two fleets passed through the Strait of Malacca last month, but we did not detect any prohibited goods. There are also Japanese immigrants in German Guinea, whose number is increasing rapidly.  Hirohito took advantage of the earthquake to speed up the migration there on the pretext of opening up wasteland to plant crops. The number of people has reached 100,000. There are signs of building fortresses in Rabaul and Truk Chen Haohui talked about the situation in the surrounding countries.  After reading, Yang Qiu immediately said: "Give Dai Yunong more support. There should be some Japanese ordnance captured by the Navy. You can find a way to send it over.  At present, the main attack is Borneo, and the rest of the places can be moved as long as possible. There is no need to fight against the Dutch to alert them When Yang Qiu took the opportunity to inspect the navy to study intelligence and Nanyang deployment, a popular politician in Europe had also arrived in Guangzhou.  .

    In the busy port of Guangzhou, the cruise ship Petrian from France slowly docked. On the deck, US Secretary of Commerce Hoover, who had just taken office, was carefully inspecting the familiar yet unfamiliar harbor.  This was not his first visit to China. Before the 1911 revolution, he transported a large group of Chinese workers from here to South Africa for mining.  At that time, what I saw before me was chaos, filth, and pigtails everywhere.  But just a dozen years later, this place has completely changed.  Although the dirty and messy environment at the dock has not completely changed, the rows of warehouses and oil tanks in the distance show that China is gradually moving towards an orderly society.  Cars began to appear on the streets that used to be filled with cattle, horses and rickshaws. Dock workers who had long since lost their braids wore clothes with a certain transportation company printed on them. Trucks have become the main link between ships and warehouses.

    "Clark, are you sure this is the Far East and not Istanbul?" A man about the same age as him emerged next to Hoover, also wearing a straight suit and bright eyes.

    Istanbul is a famous dirty and busy international port in Europe and the United States, so men have such comparisons.  Hoover also spread his hands and shook his head: "I don't know, but this is indeed Guangzhou. In the past ten years, we have been too focused on Europe, and it seems that we have missed a lot of things."

    John agreed with him and said: "Yes. So President Coolidge hopes to know more about the Far East. I think the changes that have taken place here should have attracted his attention. By the way, do you think Mr. Yang Qiu will agree to let us  Transiting northwest to Kazakhstan and Central Asia?¡±

    Hoover shook his head and expressed ignorance. The main purpose of his visit this time was to provide food aid to Soviet Russia.  It is a good thing that Moscow agreed to allow disaster relief. It not only allowed him to set up a large number of disaster relief points in Russia's European region, but also forced Moscow to agree to open more investment areas to American businessmen.  But what makes him dissatisfied is that because Moscow has always disagreed, the American disaster relief team has never been able to enter the east of the Urals, especially Kazakhstan and Central Asia. Therefore, he came this time hoping to go to Kazakhstan and other places with the Soviet Russian grain transport team.  Check the disaster relief situation so that the U.S. government can know whether food and disaster relief funds have reached the people.  But it was almost impossible for his semi-official status to enter the northwest region under military control through the Chinese railway network, so he thought of Yang Qiu and came to him for help.

    In addition to this official matter, he was also very interested in the plan Yang Qiu proposed at the cocktail party last time for the two of them to form a mining company together.  As the new U.S. commerce secretary, his future will be greatly helped by working with an official destined to become the ruler of the world's most populous country.  Of course, he could not come forward on this matter himself, so he wanted to discuss it privately with Yang Qiu, so he said: "Don't worry John, I think he has no reason to refuse us. Because President Coolidge is different from his predecessor, he does not want Japan to decline.  China is powerful. As far as I know, Congress is already discussing a draft to increase exports to Japan, and we are the ones who hold the key It has been a mess for two days, deleting, changing, and deleting words in the hope that we can slowly get back to the status quo  rs
