Into Unscientific

Magic City.

This is an extremely special city on the Chinese territory.

Since its opening in 1843, Shanghai has been on its way to becoming a world-class metropolis.

In just ten years, Magic City replaced Yangcheng and became the country's largest foreign trade port.

In 2021, Shanghai's total GDP has reached 4,321.485 billion yuan, which is 669.842 billion U.S. dollars when converted to U.S. dollars, ranking fourth in the world, second only to New York, Tokyo and Los Angeles.

With the continuous development of China's economy, Magic City is also expected to become the city with the largest economic scale in the world.

be honest.

The development trajectory of Magic City is very complicated, with both positive and negative aspects.

For example, in the early days of the Magic City, there were a large number of compradors, such as the famous Wang Kangnian, who even dared to tamper with the medicine of the soldiers during the peninsula.

But on the other hand, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Magic City was not just a waste of money.

For example, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Magic City gathered more than one-third of China's national industries and industrial workers, making an indelible contribution to China's modern industrial development.

For example, in the development process of two bombs and one satellite, the East China Computer Institute played an extremely critical role.

However, regardless of the positives or negatives of the Magic City, the reason why this city can develop smoothly is that in addition to its own heritage and policies, there is also a very important external factor:

It is the outlet of the Yangtze River.

About 6,000 years ago, Shanghai was still a sea. Due to the large amount of silt in the Yangtze River being washed into the Yangtze River estuary and deposited there, the Shanghai delta was gradually formed.

In the early days of the formation of the Magic City land, the terrain was low-lying, with accumulated silt and swamps.

As the sediments of the Yangtze River continued to push eastward, by the Qing Dynasty, it had become a magical city covering an area of ​​6340.5 square kilometers.

This delta provides a favorable shipping environment for the city. Among the seven major river systems in China, only the Yangtze River system and the Pearl River system have such conditions. The Liaohe River system and the Haihe River system were still viable in the early days, but their development has gradually slowed down due to the shallowness of the Bohai Sea. stalled.

It can be said like this.

Without the Yangtze River, there would be no Magic City.

For the same reason, after the founding of New China, the headquarters of the East China Sea Fleet was also established in Shanghai.

However, most of the time, the East China Sea Fleet's military port seems very quiet. On weekdays, at most, a few patrol boats go out to patrol the sea.

But on September 9th, something different happened in the military port.

It's eight o'clock in the morning today.

Under the guidance of a certain order, more than 20 warships sailed out of the military port.

At the front of the fleet are two somewhat old destroyers, about a hundred meters long, with the front higher and the back lower. Traces of splicing can be clearly seen on the steel plates of the hulls.

Behind the two destroyers is a huge cruiser with a hull that is twice the size of the former. It has 099 written on it, like a huge red beast slowly swimming in the sea.

Against the backdrop of this giant ship.

Some other small ships in the fleet seemed increasingly insignificant.

"."

At this moment.

Wang Anyi, then the captain of North Sea Fleet 101, also known as the "Anshan" ship, who had recently received an urgent order from his superiors to go to the East China Sea Fleet to cooperate in secret operations, was staring solemnly at the huge cruiser behind him.

"Hey, Lao Wang."

Just when Wang Anyi's expression was complicated, a hoarse male voice suddenly came from behind him.

This voice was highly recognizable, so even though he didn't look back, Wang Anyi quickly recognized the identity of the other party - Gui Zhaolin, the political commissar of the South China Sea Fleet at the time.

I saw Gui Zhaolin, like most political commissars, walking up to Wang Anyi holding an enamel cup with the words "We workers have power" printed on it:

"Why, Lao Wang, after seeing the furry bear guy's cruiser, do you want to abandon this old bitch 101?"

Wang Anyi gave this guy a sideways glance. He and Gui Zhaolin were old friends:

"Fuck your mother, am I that kind of person?"

Gui Zhaolin chuckled twice and said nothing.

Of course he knew that Wang Anyi was not that kind of person. Wang Anyi was a famously handsome man back then, and many girls chased him when he was young. However, he never wavered in his relationship with his wife, and even great men praised him. Wang Anyi has a firm mind.

Wang Anyi also knew that Gui Zhaolin's words were not malicious, so he sighed quietly and said:

"Lao Gui, changing ships is pure nonsense, but to tell you the truth, I really envy Mao Zi."

Gui Zhaolin has been engaged in ideological work for a long time, and his thinking is still very sharp. Hearing this, he immediately understood Wang Anyi's thoughts:

"Old Wang, are you talking about Maozi's navy?"

"yes."

Wang Anyi nodded with a complex expression, patted the guardrail in front of her, and said:

"Our 101 and the 102 next to it are called the Four King Kongs of the domestic navy, but in fact they are just Maozi's Wrath-class destroyers."

"This sequence can only be regarded as mid-range in Mao Xiong's country, but it is the strongest combat capability of the navy in China, and the country does not have the ability to produce ships of this specification."

"The country has assigned us such an important task this time, but we can only rely on external help!"

To the end.

Wang Anyi punched the guardrail hard, saying nothing.

Everyone knows that the Chinese Air Force was poor when it was first established. However, among the three major services of the sea, land and air, the most frustrated one is not the air force, but the navy.

After experiencing early blanks, the Air Force now has certain research and development capabilities. Although this research and development capability is strictly considered imitation, at least the production of parts is completed on its own.

As for the navy.

Unfortunately, until this period, the rabbits still do not have the ability to develop large ships.

Today, the strongest combat effectiveness of the Chinese Navy is the four Type 07 destroyers, which are also the Type 6607 destroyers known to many military fans in later generations.

These four Type 07 destroyers were originally Mao Xiong's "Wrath-class" destroyers, which were sold to China through negotiation in the early 1950s.

At that time, these four destroyers were almost retired from the Mao Xiong. The second-in-command of the Chinese Navy, Luo, went to Mao Xiong twice to negotiate, but the Mao Xiong people still quoted an extremely outrageous price for these scrap metal.

In the end, after four days of discussion, the capital finally made a decision:

"I want scrap metal too!"

So the Rabbits bought these four Type 07 destroyers at a high price of nearly 17 tons of gold per ship and prepared to build a destroyer force.

The four Type 07 destroyers are named after places, namely Anshan, Fushun, Spring City and Longcheng.

These four destroyers, also known as the Four King Kongs, played an extremely important role in coastal defense in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Under the four Type 07 destroyers are four Type 01 frigates assembled by China using the technology and materials provided by Mao Xiong, which are Mao Xiong's Riga-class frigates.

The 4+4 combination of these eight ships is one of the few assets that the Chinese Navy has now.

What made Wang Anyi even more helpless was.

Due to specification issues, even the best-maintained Anshan Type 07 destroyer has no chance of completing this intercontinental, err, long-range missile mission.

Therefore, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, the organization conducted a transaction with Mao Xiong at the beginning of this year, and obtained the Sverdlov-class cruiser from Mao Xiong at a huge cost.

This Sverdlov-class cruiser was originally named Nasimov. It was put into service in March nine years ago and was officially decommissioned in July two years ago.

According to Mao Xiong’s original plan, the Sverdlov-class cruiser would be sunk as a target ship at the end of last year. (Note: The Sverdlov-class cruiser here is a Chapayev-class cruiser. Mao Xiong later produced a nuclear-powered Sverdlov-class cruiser with a displacement twice that of the Chapayev-class. , a total of only 17 ships were launched, and 14 were in service. The nuclear-powered Sverdlov-class cruisers produced in the 1980s also had a version of the Nasimov. Please explain the anti-bar.)

According to the information Wang Anyi learned.

This Sverdlov-class cruiser, which Maozi originally planned to use as a target ship, was still quoted an astonishing sky-high price when it was sold to the rabbits. Both the gun and the fire control radar were dismantled before being shipped to China.

But there is no way.

The test range of this intercontinental missile is too far, and the escort difficulty is far beyond what two Type 07 destroyers can solve.

"Old Wang, don't be too pessimistic."

Looking at Wang Anyi who looked angry, Gui Zhaolin patted his partner on the shoulder twice:

"Although our navy started late, where is our coastline? The strategic position of the navy will definitely become more and more important in the future."

"In addition, our country's scientific and technological level is constantly breaking through the international blockade. If this continues, sooner or later we will have a day when we can launch a self-produced large ship."

"Among other things, I heard that the 701st Institute of the Seventh Academy is already carrying out the overall design task of domestically produced frigates."

"We can't guarantee that in a few decades, our domestically produced 10,000-ton large-scale drive will be launched into the water, and the strings will be your 101!"

Wang Anyi murmured for a moment after hearing this, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she couldn't help but show some expectation on her face:

"I hope so"

Wang Anyi is not the kind of person who can be easily persuaded by just a few words, but at this moment, in conjunction with Gui Zhaolin's "talking words", what comes to his mind is their mission this time - sailing to the landing of long-range missiles. Stand by nearby and get the missile's data cabin as soon as possible.

Today's countries can even produce intercontinental missiles, so it does not seem impossible to produce self-produced frigates.

"captain!"

While Wang Anyi was chatting with Gui Zhaolin, the voice of the chief officer of the Anshan ship came from behind him:

"Captain, we are almost out of Wusongkou!"

Wang Anyi suddenly raised his eyebrows, walked from the left side of the deck to the front of the ship, and looked into the distance.

There are many place names in China that are not worthy of their name. For example, Huaiyin is not south of the Huaihe River, and Huai'an does not have the Huaihe River to rest on.

The reason for this situation is that Chinese place names mostly refer to mountain-shaped water systems. The green mountains remain unchanged for thousands of years, but the water systems are more stable all year round.

Wusongkou is one of the typical representatives of the water system.

The entrance of the Huangpu River is called Wusongkou, but the Wusong River is actually just a tributary of the Huangpu River, which merges into the Baidu Bridge north of the Bund today.

The reason for this situation is that historically, the Wusong River was one of the three rivers that discharged into the sea from Taihu Lake.

As the saying goes, once the three rivers have entered, the earthquake has settled. Huangpu was originally just one of the tributaries of the Wusong River.

However, although the Songjiang River gradually became silted up, the Song Dynasty carried out water conservancy projects blindly, blocking the upstream water flow, and the Wusong River finally became more and more active.

The Huangpu River benefited from the Ming Dynasty's crazy water conservancy projects and became the confluence of Zhejiang water flowing into the sea. The river bed developed rapidly, showing a tendency to turn against tourists.

When Hai Rui dredged the Wusong River, Huangpu's capture of Song finally became a reality, but the entrance to the sea still retained its original name, called Wusongkou.

Looking at the flat sea in the distance, Wang Anyi's remaining boredom finally completely dissipated.

This is the charm of the ocean. Its vastness is enough to smooth out all the wrinkles in the heart. Even the most miserable people can get a moment of peace of mind when facing the ocean.

But soon.

Wang Anyi thought of something again and sighed slightly.

Gui Zhaolin on the side keenly noticed the abnormality of his friend, and asked aloud:

"Old Wang, what's wrong with you?"

Wang Anyi shook his head, looking unwilling to say more.

He thought of the Battle of Songhu that year and the Dadonggou sea area that could be passed northward from Songhukou.

People all over the world say that the devil is in a state of revelry, but in the history of China, there have been many tragic battles around Songhukou, and countless heroic souls are buried here.

Guo Rugui, the legendary undercover agent of the original Rabbits, led the team to the front line during the Battle of Songhu. He led the entire brigade of 8,000 people to defend the front line of Tangkou in the north and south to stop the Japanese army.

Under the indiscriminate bombardment of dozens of Japanese aircraft and naval guns, he held his position for 7 days and 7 nights. He wrote the most touching final letter to the division commander Huo Kuizhang near Songhukou in the history of the Anti-Japanese War:

[Eight thousand of my warriors have been sacrificed. The enemy's offensive has not weakened, and the future is uncertain. If the position is lost, I will die on the battlefield, my body anointed in the wilderness. When the Anti-Japanese War is victorious, as a famous anti-Japanese general, when you pass Wusongkou by ship, if there are waves like mountains, then I am here to see you. 】

My death turns into waves. Such a whimsical metaphor and such a tragic and broad artistic conception cannot be found in Tang poetry and Song lyrics.

Although Guo Rugui did not die for his country in the end and became a legendary undercover agent of the Rabbits, the realm of his letter has long been divorced from his own person.

Those soldiers who died following Guo Rugui, and the ancestors who died for their country in the Sino-Japanese War of 1898-1898 earlier, must have had the same consciousness before their sacrifices.

It's a pity.

After all, awareness is just awareness. Wang Anyi sailed to Wusongkou dozens of times, and what greeted him was always the ocean as quiet as a mirror.

However, although there were no waves in his eyes, there were already waves in Wang Anyi's heart.

Every time he passed by Wusongkou, Wang Anyi could feel the spiritual baptism brought by the inheritance of his ancestors, as if countless heroic souls were waving to him from a distance, and then he walked the rest of the way in their place.

Think of this.

Wang Anyi couldn't help but take a deep breath, raised his head and ordered:

"Guide the ship ahead to explore the path. Lao Gui sends a signal to the capital to inform us of the progress of our ship's departure from the shore. The entire fleet speeds up!"

Following Wang Anyi's order.

The fleet of 22 large and small ships suddenly accelerated by 3 knots.

An hour and a half later.

The fleet sailed out of territorial waters.

Eight hours later.

The fleet reaches the high seas.

The fleet then sailed all the way, and finally arrived at the 25th hour of travel.

Officially arrived outside the neon high seas line.

Note:

Due to review reasons, characters cannot use their real names. There have been a lot more readers recently. Fang Bang would like to remind you not to just say that this person is missing when you can’t find Guo Youlai like before.

In addition, some students may have questions about the 25 hours. Please note here that 25 hours is the high seas line to Neon (outside the exclusive economic zone). It will take time for the high seas line to Osaka, but the fleet will definitely not be able to enter the high seas. Inside the line
