    After seeing off Henderson, the "angry" Yang Qiu found an excuse to end his visit and return home early, leaving Chen Shaokuan and Jiang Zuobin behind to continue negotiations.

    Although "Yang Qiu" was angry and ran away, the negotiations held more than half a year later than history did not go smoothly.

    In the end, iBen was determined not to come back.

    I do not want to continue to limit my influence. Italy, which has always valued high-speed large destroyers and cruisers, has followed suit and announced that it will withdraw from negotiations.  If Italy withdraws, France will naturally not be stupid enough to sign.  None of the three Washington signatories were willing to limit their cruisers and destroyers, and the anxious Prime Minister Macdonald cursed.

    It doesn¡¯t matter to the United States on the other side. Anyway, Hoover couldn¡¯t develop the navy just when the economy had just improved.

    Seeing that the negotiations were about to fail, the Chinese delegation, which had been expressing dissatisfaction, suddenly agreed to sign with conditions. The condition was that it refused to limit the displacement of destroyers to 1,850 tons.  Although Britain was dissatisfied with China's pickiness, at least someone gave it face, so it agreed to China's adjustment of its cruiser quota to 230,000 tons.  Among them, Class A 120,000 tons,

    Category 110,000 tons.

    There are already four 13,000-ton Taiwan Island class ships in China, and later four more 10,000-ton Wuhan class ships were built. The remaining 28,000-ton displacement can only build two more heavy cruisers.  Due to the consideration of two oceans, the Republic of China Navy plans to build at least four warships in each batch. Therefore, after repeated consideration, the Navy decided to follow the president's opinion and abandon the continued construction of treaty heavy cruisers and allocate all quotas to aircraft carriers and light cruisers.

    Thanks to the large amount of technical reserves accumulated during the crazy construction of new warships over the years, the Navy quickly came up with a plan and decided to purchase 2 more Sichuan-class aircraft carriers from 2031, and build 4 new Xiangjiang-class 10,000-ton light cruisers.  Four 4,000-ton Xin'anjiang-class fast mine-laying cruisers will be built, of which the last eight cruisers will be built using the surfacing process for the first time.

    At the same time, after learning about China¡¯s signature, I was shocked

    i Ben also breathed a sigh of relief. Soon after, he subjectively believed that China would use the newly obtained tonnage to build heavy cruisers. In addition, since it no longer had the constraints of cruisers, it also began to consider building heavy cruisers.  However, because the Washington Naval Treaty has not expired and capital ships cannot be built for the time being, and because they stubbornly believe that 10,000-ton light cruisers are a huge waste, they put all their attention on heavy cruisers in an attempt to completely overwhelm China and the United States at this level.  According to this idea,

    iThe Navy immediately began to purchase 4 Mogami-class heavy cruisers.  Different from the historical disguise of a light cruiser, this time it was directly a heavy cruiser from the beginning.

    It makes sense for Japan to choose to rely on heavy patrols to suppress China's cruiser group, because

    i Our country has a narrow territory, few resources, and only a few colonies with insufficient output, so it is impossible to take care of both light and heavy patrols.  Moreover, the 203mm is more powerful than the 155mm. When the battleship is temporarily powerless, it is normal to choose a heavy cruiser as a breakthrough.

    The news that Japan is continuing to build heavy cruisers has gradually increased the voices within the Republic of China Navy that the signing of the treaty will limit their own hands and feet. Even Sa Zhenbing, who is unemployed at home, was alarmed and threatened to go north to find Yang Qiu for "review."

    ¡°But President Yang has no interest in the arms race. He still has a lot of things to do.  The purchased equipment and technology will take four to five years to be integrated and absorbed. Major projects also need to be started as soon as possible, including people's livelihood reform, industrial sorting, infrastructure construction, and many other things. The most important thing is the founding of Saudi Arabia, so  The Navy must be allowed to immediately return all its battleships to dock to rest and be prepared for emergencies. The battleship Nanjing is even required to join active service before the end of December and assume combat duty.

    But Yang Qiu is not easy to fool, since

    I chose to use eye drops on myself at sea, so I might as well get something to disgust them, so after discussing with An Guoliang, the National Guard funded the purchase of two combined force-class battleships that had been retired and were ready to be dismantled, and then put all of them together.  The weapons and excess armor were removed, and an 85mm high-level dual-purpose naval gun and several 40mm high-speed cannons were installed. Tools such as water cannons and fishing net cutters were added, and finally three seaplanes were installed, transforming it into a fishery patrol vessel.  Leave it to the Coast Guard to protect fishing grounds.

    "A 15,000-ton fishery patrol vesselhaha."

    ?? There was constant laughter in the Sa Mansion in Zhuzifang, Fuzhou. Sa Zhenbing laughed while holding the newspaper that published the modified fishery administration ship, which made Zhang Xiaozhun, who came to visit him on behalf of Yang Qiu, secretly wonder, what is so funny about this?

    There are a lot of old battleships in Japan. Doing so will only lead to following the trend, so he does not welcome this project very much.

    Sa Zhenbing glared at him and said with an expression that hates iron and said: "What do you army know? To modify the fishery administration ship, you must first dismantle the cannon and armor, so as not to violate the naval treaty. It is easy to dismantle, but it is difficult to reinstall it.  Yes, it costs more than building a cruiser.

    I thought those broken ships were precious,It has been carefully maintained for so many years just because it wants to be put into service again. How can I be willing to dismantle it and rebuild it as a fishery administration ship?  "

    In terms of seniority in the country, there is no one more powerful than this old guy. How could Zhang Xiaozhun dare to answer the conversation and quickly changed his words: "President Sa, in addition to coming to see you and Lao Haijun on behalf of the president, there is something I hope you can help me with."  .¡±

    Sazhen Bingxianfu has been at home for 10 years, and all the bones in his body ached. When he heard that he needed help with something, he became excited. He put down his favorite teapot and asked hurriedly: "Don't be shy, just ask if you need anything. Old man, although my health is not good,  point, but it¡¯s not yet the point where I can¡¯t walk anymore.¡±

    Listening to his nagging and bragging, almost likening himself to the Yinglian family who in his 60s could still fight for ten pounds of rice and meat, Zhang Xiaozhun was secretly amused and said with a smile: "Mr.  I admire you. The president¡¯s request is that you, as a retired military officer, take a trip

    i book.  "

    i book?  Sa Zhenbing was a little puzzled.  middle

    i Contradictions may not be big in the eyes of the Chinese people. They are nothing more than fighting a few battles to regain their homeland, but

    I look at the up and down.  because

    I Japan¡¯s biggest dream is to expand its living space to the mainland. Now that its claws have been cut off, all the efforts of several generations have been wasted.  It would be strange not to hate the Republic of China to death.  Under such circumstances, it is not surprising to regard the Republic of China as the number one enemy. If so, why should we go there ourselves?

    Where is ibook?

    Seeing that he had doubts, Zhang Xiaozhun took out Yang Qiu's autographed letter and handed it over and said, "President Sa will understand after reading this."

    Sa Zhenbing took the letter and read it carefully.  Although the letter was not long, it analyzed in detail what happened during this period, explained why he was close to the United States, why he wanted to offend the United Kingdom, and finally told the story of supporting the establishment of Saudi Arabia as an opportunity to establish a foothold in West Asia.  Sa Zhenbing had never known these things before, so after reading it, he slapped his thigh suddenly and sighed: "Hey! I still underestimate the president. I remember that when I was studying in the UK, I had always heard my husband talk about national strategy, but it was a pity that I was young and ignorant.  I have no idea what these four words mean. Although I can see more clearly as I get older, I always feel like I am seeing flowers in the fog. Today

    This letter made me finally understand the meaning of these four words.  "

    Zhang Xiaozhun was one of the few people who knew the overall situation in the whole incident. Although Yang Qiu never said what strategic goals he wanted to achieve, from the time the silver crisis attracted the Jewish group, the exquisite layout like a nine-link chain made him and everyone  People who know the inside story praise it. There are probably not many people in the world who can use strategic methods to this extent.  So after hearing what Sa Zhenbing said, he also said: "Yes, I'm afraid the president's thoughts are not just as simple as making the country rich and strong and the people strong. From these things, it can be seen that he I'm afraid he wants to lay the foundation for our nation."  A legacy that lasts for centuries.¡±

    Sa Zhenbing nodded, picked up a match and burned the letter, then straightened his back: "Leunong will go back and tell the president that for the prosperity of our country, Sa will live up to his trust." Zhang Xiaozhun didn't like to be sloppy, so when he saw his promise, he immediately stood up and left.  This capable style made Sa Zhenbing quite satisfied and asked Sa Bendong to see off the guests on his behalf.

    Sa Bundong is the most talented of this generation of the Sa family. He showed high attainments in mathematics, physics and electronics while studying in the United States.  Not only did he study at Stanford University, he also worked as an engineer for Westinghouse Company in the United States for several years after graduation, so he was also on the list of this major recall.  But because Yang Qiu was away on a trip, they had been taking a break at home.  After sending Zhang Xiaozhun away, he returned to the courtyard and saw Sa Zhenbing alone in a daze, and asked, "Grandpa, are you worried?"

    As the head of the family, Sa Zhenbing attaches great importance to the younger generation. As long as they meet the conditions, he will try his best to send them to study abroad, and he will never use the national public quota.  In his words, government-sponsored study abroad places are already scarce and should be reserved for students whose families are not wealthy. The Sa family should not increase the burden on the country.  His example led many navy and officials to give up embezzling public quotas, which became a popular story.

    Sa Zhenbing thinks highly of Sa Bendong and would not hide anything from him in the past.  But this time the matter was so important that he didn't dare to feel tired at all, and quickly waved his hand to indicate that it was okay.

    Seeing this, Sa Bendong had no choice but to exit first, but he was stopped after taking only two steps.

    "I heard that you are going to chongqing in a few days?"

    Sabendong nodded: "Let's set off the day after tomorrow. This time I went to Sichuan on the summons of the president. I heard that we have more than 2,000 people in Fujian alone, and I'm afraid there are no less than 20,000 in the whole country. My grandson went to Lenovo Company under the Chongqing Group. As for the  We won¡¯t know exactly what to do until we get there.¡±

    "It doesn't matter what you do. What matters is that since you are going to do something, you have to make a name for yourself. Don't lose the face of our Sa family." Although Sa Zhenbing didn't know why Yang Qiu gathered so many technical talents in Sichuan, but through just now  He was completely convinced by the letter, so he paid special attention to it.  Finally, he sighed with envy: "Nian?That's greatyour generation is really catching up on good times, and you have a good president.  Old, old¡­.  "

    The voice got lower and lower in the end. Sa Bendong looked up and saw that Sa Zhenbing was already sitting on the wicker chair holding the teapot, quietly and thoughtfully.

    Two days later, Sa Bendong and more than 2,000 Fujianese technical experts boarded a special train bound for Sichuan. Shortly after he left, Sa Zhenbing also quietly boarded a ship bound for Keelung one early morning, and then diverted from there.
