Chapter 536 Joint Military Exercises (1)

Qin Zheng continued: "I will give two examples. First, how to define landlords, and large landlords are of course easy to deal with, but in this era, there are still a large number of small landlords. Some of them have not much landlords. Some of them have to plant part of the land themselves, and some of the more wealthy farmers will also hire or rent some land. So where is the boundary between landlords and rich peasants? If the division is not good, it will easily dampen the production enthusiasm of rich peasants, so that farmers dare not seek wealth; the second is how to divide the land, and farmers without land are of course easy to deal with, but what about rich peasants and self-cultivated farmers? If all the land is collected and distributed equally, then it is obviously unfair for farmers with more self-cultivated land, because they are farmers with higher than the average value of their own arable land, and they will even cause their dissatisfaction. If they do not use one-size-fits-all, how can they divide the land? These must be fully considered."

Li Songchen said: "Didn't the political commissar's meaning become a class component?"

Qin Zheng laughed and said, "That's about it, but we divide the class components not to engage in class struggle, but to formulate a reasonable land system."

Zeng Dongdao: "Okay, we will come up with a plan as soon as possible."

After the Executive Committee meeting ended, all the people from other places rushed back, and the others worked their own work. Soon the time travel group entered a busy state again. At this time, the Japanese drove the Zhenyuan ironclad ship to Dagukou according to the Shanghai negotiation agreement, handed over to the time travel group, and exchanged them for the Japanese prisoners.

This time, the two protective cruisers, Yoshino and Lang, and a Yamamaru transport ship, were delivered to the Crossing Group. On the one hand, the Zhenyuan was delivered to the Crossing Group, and on the other hand, they also took back the exchanged prisoners. At the same time, they had to communicate with the Crossing Group about the planned joint maritime military exercises between the two sides to determine the arrangements for the military exercises. After all, the two sides had never held joint maritime military exercises before, so many things needed to be communicated in advance.

The person responsible for communicating with the People's Army was the Japanese Navy's Grandmaster, the permanent staff officer of the fleet, and the person receiving the Japanese fleet was the naval commander Shang Jinfeng and the fleet commander Wang Hailong after participating in this joint maritime military exercise.

Seeing the name Akiyama Matsuyuki, Shang Jinfeng and Wang Hailong were slightly excited because this person had an important position in the history of the old Japanese naval and were named as a genius staff officer, the number one naval strategist, and Japan's Mahan and many other titles.

Akiyama Matsuyama was born in a lower-level samurai family in Matsuyama Castle, Matsuyama City, Ehime Prefecture. In 19th year of Meiji (1886), he entered the 17th class of the Naval School. In 23rd year of Meiji (189o), he graduated with the first place and was awarded the second lieutenant as an alternate military rank on the sea defense ship Hiei. He also participated in the Sino-Japanese War of 1895 as a naval voyage of the gunboat. In 1898, the Japanese navy selected public students to the United States. In 1998, Matsuyama was not selected, but he studied in the United States at his own expense. He studied in Yu An The Naval Officer School in Napolis, whose mentor was Alfred Sayer Mahan, a famous "Sea Power Theory". At the Naval University in Washington, Akiyama used the university library and naval library to study the research on military theory. In the 33rd year of Meiji (19oo), he entered the first lesson of the Naval Provincial Military Affairs Bureau and served as a staff officer for the standing fleet. In the Russo-Japanese War five years later in the old time and space, Akiyama Mano assisted Hirahachiro Togo to win the victory of the Tsushima Battle and established his historical position in the old Japanese Navy.

Although Akiyama Matsuno is just a minor, because he has the qualifications to study in the United States and is a student of Mahan, he was a new star in the Japanese Navy at this time. Japan sent him to communicate and negotiate with time travelers on the joint military exercise, which also shows that the Japanese side attaches importance to this military exercise.

Shang Jinfeng and Wang Hailong first received the Zhenyuan ship accompanied by Akiyama Masayuki and inspected the entire ship. Although the Zhenyuan ship can only be considered a second-class ship in Japan now, it is indeed well maintained. Compared with the warships captured by the Crossover, the Zhenyuan ship is in its best condition. This also shows that the Japanese navy is indeed disciplined and all naval regulations are strictly enforced. Moreover, the ship also comes with the main gun shells 2oo, the other gun shells totaling 8oo, 2oo tons of coal, and a small amount of drinking water and food.

After receiving the Zhenyuan ship, Shang Jinfeng also ordered all Japanese prisoners to be released and they were allowed to board the Morning Maru. At this time, all the prisoners of Britain, France, the United States, Italy and Austria had been released. As soon as the Shanghai negotiations were over, the five countries paid the redemption fee to the time travelers. Moreover, Britain, France and the United States had their own sphere of influence in China, so they could immediately send ships to pick up their prisoners. Although Italy and Austria were not very powerful in China, they did not have many prisoners, so they took the British ship by the way. Of course, Britain, France and the United States also left a large number of colonial soldiers, a total of about 4,000 people, which basically allowed these people to fend for themselves.

Only Germany had a large number of prisoners, and after Germany lost Qingdao, it had no station in the Far East, and could only send ships from the country to pick up soldiers. Fortunately, in order to fulfill the agreement reached with the Crossing Group, Germany had already sent ships to transport the machinery and equipment and installation workers needed by the Crossing Group, so it happened to use this batch of ships to take back the German prisoners. In addition, the Japanese prisoners have returned to China, and the number of prisoners of the Crossing Group has been reduced to about 22,000, of which 18,000 were Russian prisoners.

After dealing with the matter of Japanese captives, Shang Jinfeng, Wang Hailong and Akiyama Matsuyuki also started formal negotiations. Akiyama Matsuyuki first informed the two that the Japanese fleet participating in joint maritime military exercises this time will be commanded by Lieutenant General Togo Hachihei, and will send battleships Fuji, Yashima, Armored Cruiser Asama, Tobatan, protective cruisers Takasa, Kashiya, Yoshino, Chitose, torpedo boat destroyers Yangyan, Congyun, transport ships Hiromaru, and Toei Maru, a total of 12 ships, with about 5 ooo of soldiers.

At the same time, Akiyama Masao proposed that the fleets of both sides converged near Beihuangcheng Island at the mouth of the Bohai Bay, because it is about 50 kilometers away from Lushun Port, which can almost be said to be low in Lushun Port, so the intention of Wei to capture the Russian army is naturally very obvious.

Moreover, Japan made a very detailed plan and arrangement for this military exercise. The entire military exercise was 5 days, of which the maritime military exercise was 3 days. On the first day, the two sides held a party on Beihuangcheng Island to strengthen the exchange between the two armies. The soldiers could also perform some sports competitions and material art performances. It was also proposed that both sides could hold a football match. The Japanese Navy was a member of the United Kingdom, and holding football matches was a tradition of the British Navy. Japan was somewhat affected. The football match played by the time travelers in Shanghai and the United Kingdom had already been widely used.

It is known that Japan made this proposal, and the officers of both sides conducted sand table deductions for maritime military exercises. The following three days were the maritime military exercises. The military exercise subjects listed by Japan include: fleet navigation, formation changes, T-shaped array shooting, and live ammunition target shooting at sea. The most important thing is actual combat confrontation. Both sides sent 3-4 warships to take turns to conduct one-to-one single-ship competition. Except for not using live ammunition, the rest are the same as actual combat. On the 5th day, the two sides entered into a friendship and summarized and exchanged the results of this military exercise.

Although Shang Jinfeng and Wang Hailong had no good feelings for Japan, after reading the military exercise plan proposed by Masato Akiyama, the two had to admit that the Japanese's meticulousness and rigor of doing things were indeed different, because this military exercise was originally a symbolic meaning than a practical meaning, and the Time Travel Group did not take it too much for a while, just a maritime training. However, the Japanese side made a detailed plan very seriously, which was so meticulous that it could be played in football matches. At least this spirit is still worth learning.

Shang Jinfeng and Wang Hailong had basically no objection to the military exercise plan formulated by the Japanese. They just wanted to strengthen the experience of the People's Army Navy and find the shortcomings through this kind of confrontation that was close to actual combat.

Akiyama Matsuyuki naturally had no objection to this requirement, but learned that the time traveler did not intend to send modern warships to participate in the maritime military exercises, but the reason was that these warships needed maintenance and could not participate in the maritime military exercises, but sent several captured warships. Akiyama Matsuyuki was a little disappointed because the ships of the time traveler have now become the focus of research on naval research in various countries. On the one hand, the time traveler's navy defeated the German Far East Fleet, and on the other hand, it was because these warships were too alternative, with the hulls being extremely simple, and the ship-based weapons were not decent, but they had achieved extremely brilliant results. This reason naturally became the target that countries hope to explore.

Although Japan and the Time Travel Group are now in a cooperative relationship, it is also very clear in Japan that overseas Chinese will definitely be Japan's strong opponents in the future. Therefore, we should now consciously collect information about overseas Chinese, because they are from the navy. After all, Japan is also established as a navy. We hope to use this joint military exercise to observe the surprisingness of overseas Chinese warships at close range. However, overseas Chinese do not intend to send these warships to participate in the exercise, which also left Japan's hope empty.

However, Akiyama Mano also knew that overseas Chinese were reasonable. Just as the Japanese regarded overseas Chinese as potential opponents, overseas Chinese were also guarding against Japan. You can only see that they were trying to catch Japanese spies. Therefore, in this kind of military exercise, of course, they had to hide their main warships.

In fact, Japan also did not send its own real main force. Although the battleships Fuji and Yashima were members of the "Six Six Fleet" planned by the Japanese Navy, these two battleships were originally planned by Japan to deal with the Dingyuan and Zhenyuan ships, but they did not catch up with the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 and eventually led to the "Six Six Fleet" to make up the number. In fact, Japan's real main battleships are the other four battleships of the "Six Six Fleet" of the "Six Six Fleet", the Shikishima, the Churai, the Asahi, and the Mikasa. At this time, the Mikasa had not been delivered.

Of course, Japan had at least two standard battleships, with displacements of 12ooo tons, and the armored cruiser Asama and the Takaba were nearly 10,000 tons. It was only 5 years old when it was launched. The overseas Chinese actually used several prisonered ships to make up the numbers. The Brandenburg was still a battleship, and the displacement of 1o7o tons was not strong enough. It could be considered to be equivalent to the Fuji and Yashima, but the Saxony and Zhenyuan were all ironclad ships that were outdated, and they also brought in the defeated Japanese general Beiyang Navy.
