Chapter 323: Naval Fleet Gift Pack Bismarck Battleship
Battleship Bismarck
After Su Zhengyang calmed down and carefully read the conditions for summoning and hiring the German Second Armored Group Army, he realized that although he had obtained the summoning authority for this steel torrent, the prerequisite was that the number of serving soldiers in his own local forces must exceed two million before the Second Armored Group could be deployed.
Su Zhengyang frowned and thought. The first thing he would do after taking the position of President of Northern Xinjiang was to firmly grasp the military power in the hands of the Northern Xinjiang central government, abolish the provincial governor system, and instead establish provincial administrative centers in each province and arrange the position of governor, so as to completely separate the military and politics.
Otherwise, even if he became president, the situation of the Northern Xinjiang government would not improve at all.
Nowadays, the governors of various provinces have their own troops and are independent. They rely on the fact that the emperor is far away and follow orders but not declarations. They act independently and are a loose group of people. They only consider their own interests. This is the biggest hidden danger and drawback of the Northern Frontier government today.
To put it bluntly, on weekdays, these governors are the local tyrants in their own territories. Once their fundamental interests are involved, they will immediately jump out to sing against the central government. When they encounter difficulties or are attacked by hostile forces, they will lick the central government and seek benefits and support. They are really like whores who want to be virtuous at the same time.
Of course, if you want to complete this large-scale reform, it will inevitably affect the fundamental interests of all warlords. Even the hardcore allies such as Duan and Feng may not support Su Zhengyang in this matter. The resistance is huge, but Su Zhengyang is determined to do it! Even if it costs a certain price, a series of blood transfusions and drastic reforms must be completed.
According to Su Zhengyang's plan, after he ascends to the presidency, he will use the Northwest Revolutionary Army as a model to form the Northeast Front Army, the Central Plains Garrison Army, and the Southern New Army. The initial plan is to have the main forces of the four major military regions no less than 500,000 people, and a troop size of 2 million people will be achieved sooner or later.
Su Zhengyang was also looking forward to the shock that this invincible steel torrent would bring to the world when it appeared on this land.
After collecting his thoughts, Su Zhengyang continued his lottery journey.
"System, I want to conduct five top-level draws and ten consecutive draws!"
[Ding! Congratulations to the host, you have successfully consumed 50 top-level lottery chances and opened five top-level lottery draws for ten consecutive draws.]
What surprised Su Zhengyang was that after only the second ten-draw sequence, a platinum treasure chest appeared again on the virtual screen in front of him.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host, you have successfully drawn a platinum treasure chest in the top draw. Would you like to open the treasure chest and get the reward? ]
"Confirm to enable it!"
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for opening the platinum treasure chest and obtaining the Navy Fleet Gift Pack. ]
[The contents of the gift pack are as follows: Bismarck battleship x1, Admiral Scheer armored ship x2, Admiral Grafspe cruiser x4, Narvik-class large destroyer x4, Königsberg-class light cruiser x6, 120 million tons of diesel, 100 million tons of heavy oil, (including the large oil storage device given by the system). ]
The system rewards from the navy fleet gift package lifted Su Zhengyang's spirits. If one were to say from the perspective of the future president of the Northern Frontier government, the development of the army would give Su Zhengyang the most headaches, it would undoubtedly be the navy. In fact, at the end of the Qing Empire, the former Liaodong Navy and Liaodong Fleet were known to be the first in Asia and the ninth in the world, with a total of 25 main warships, 50 auxiliary warships, 30 transport ships, and more than 4000 officers and soldiers.
However, they suffered a crushing defeat in the Liaohai Campaign in 1897 and were almost wiped out. After Yang Jiakai established the Northern Xinjiang regime, he spent huge sums of money on several occasions to import more than cruisers, destroyers, and ironclad ships from the Anglo-Saxon Empire to form a new Northern Xinjiang Navy. However, in the Jinhai Battle years ago, they were once again dealt a heavy blow by Fuso. Since then, the entire Northern Xinjiang or China's navy has been in name only.
Except for two outdated destroyers and the four cruisers named Hailong, Haijiao, Haifeng and Haiqing, the navy of the entire Northern Frontier government has become a byword for being not presentable. As of the 13th year of the Republic of China, the Northern Frontier navy only had one military port left, Dagu in Tianjin. The entire navy had less than 2,000 personnel, and the remaining warships were almost rusting there.
If China wants to defend its maritime territory from the invasion of the Fuso fleet and the threat from Fuso's homeland, developing the navy is a necessary process.
The Liaohai Campaign many years ago has become synonymous with shame in the eyes of the Chinese people.
The Bismarck battleship was built by Germany at the Hans Blom shipyard before World War II and was named after former German Chancellor Bismarck.
The ship was started in July 1936, launched in February 7, and completed and commissioned in August 1939. It was the largest and most technologically advanced battleship in Germany at that time. The Bismarck battleship is 2 meters long, 1940 meters wide, with a maximum draft of 8 meters, a standard displacement of 241.55 tons, a full load displacement of 36 tons, a maximum speed of 9.99 knots, and a maximum endurance of 41,637 nautical miles. The ship is equipped with 50,300 30.12 mm main guns, 8,500 8 mm secondary guns and 380 machine guns. It is one of the famous battleships during World War II.

Admiral Scheer
The cruiser Admiral Grafspe had a standard displacement of 1.62 tons, a speed of 28 knots (about 51 kilometers per hour), and a crew of 1150 people. The cruiser Grafspe entered service in 1936 and was built to the same standard as Admiral Scheer and Lutzow. In the Battle of the River Plate in December 1939, the Grafspe sank nine British ships alone, and was later chased by three British cruisers that came after hearing the news all the way to the port of Uruguay. Later, under diplomatic pressure, the Grafspe sank on the spot.
