Act of celebrating the birth of what though but maritime parade integrated with the international military convention in the Chinese navy, the large-scale military affairs that but this time put on a demonstration of in at a time when the eventful period when the south Chinese sea island dispute bee gets up. Since February of this year, state leaders such as Philippine, Malaysia,etc. have thrown the head again and again impressively, declare that there is sovereignty to some islands of the Nansha Islands. Take place ship, spy of American army, detect, minute with Chinese naval vessel happening incidenting of rubing illegally in south China sea again recently.

The military observer thinks, in sensitive autumn, on one hand Beijing must reply the dispute with sovereign right of island of the South China Sea scrupulously, also want lofty tone invite U.S.A., Japan, South Korea,etc. Europe and every country in Southeast Asia army come, view and emulate navy soldier review troops on the other hand, therefore navy review troops performance this time, should have some profound meanings.



Construction fights

On January 21, 1949, liberated in Taizhou of Jiangsu. April 4, in order to make it convenient for, command, cross river fight, the third field army millet abundant to lead field army some personnel, reach close to the Changjiang River white horse temple township district in assistant commanding officer, set up front command post in one small building, cross river campaign begin, rename as " third field army east Luis cross the river operational headquarter " .

Seeing that the naval vessel of the Kuomintang navy of the low reaches of the Changjiang River is fermenting and rising in revolt, and the victory with war of liberation will receive more the Kuomintang navy personnel and equipment facility, Military Commission of the CPC Central Committee orders the Military Area Command of East China to set up the navy of Military Area Command. On April 23, the second fleet of the Kuomintang navy rises in revolt under the leadership of major general's commandant Lin Zun. On the same day, East China Military Area Command in white horse temple township " third field army east Luis cross the river operational headquarter " navy Declare and establish, the army of PLA man's first navy - -The navy of Military Area Command of East China was born immediately.

April 23 is determined PLA navy as to be established day. The first commandant of navy of East China and concurrently political commissar are served as by assistant commanding officer of Central China Military Area Command Zhang Aiping, thereafter teach the tutor 644 artificial foundations of division headquarters wildly and affiliatedly by original three, make up three offices of Navy Command, political departments, logistic departments of Military Area Command of East China.

Then, patrol and defend the team in order to receive second fleet and the fifth of the Kuomintang navy rising in revolt, the office has been established in Nanjing. In order to take over organization and facility of the Kuomintang navy of Shanghai, have established and held the minister's department that takes over navy of military control commission of Shanghai concurrently with Zhang Aiping. Zhang Aiping publish advertisement at " Ta Kung Pao " still, recruit country army wander folk navy soldier technician extensively, in order to use ownly.

Navy military academy some expert, equipment of navy soldier, introduce, first build Chinese navy of period can buy naval vessel, apparatus and material through Hong Kong to western the countries concerned already, can also buy from Soviet Union. Had successively bought 48 overage naval vessels that U.S.A., Great Britain, Japan made from Hong Kong. After the second half of 1950, the western countries blockaded the embargo policy to the regime that is established newly, actually could buy 4 escort vessels in Hong Kong in June of this year, 4 minesweepers, but had not made a deal because the British government postpone betraying.

At the beginning of of 1951, the businessman from Hong Kong had 3 iron shell minesweepers, 4 escort vessels to plan to sell, again because it is unable to sail into the hinterland that the government of Great Britain blockades. Basically cut off through the way that Hong Kong buys the weaponry like this. The navy can only propose ordering in the Soviet Union forward at this moment, have from the finished new former capital of naval vessel where the Soviet Union imports, but the old one is in the majority. Have 4 destroyer to enter the water from 1937 to 1941 separately, come to China to advance and cross and refit repairing. The submarine has two types: C type and " M-15 " Type. 2 " C "s The type submarine was made in 1943, in already full the 10th anniversary on active service while receiving, this other type entered the water in 1948. Some torpedo light boats are during World War II, the host computer was the petrol machine which U.S.A. made, this kind of host computer uses and repairs 500 hours later, can only use for 250-300 hours after repairing.

The total principle that Mao Zedong is confirmed by the navy is building while making, because the task of maritime struggle against the enemy is urgent, maritime growth rate of strength run into need that reality struggles while being impossible. The Chinese navy of one of the young type takes an army of naval air force's armies, submarine armies and torpedoes as the core, there are no other arms yet.

But the navy at that time, not merely equipped and cooperated with the ground force to land and resist and land to fight with the inferior position, have participated in and recovered ten thousand mountain archipelagoes, " Eight six " Sea warfare and high and military with campaigns such as the east sea warfare,etc., and can carry out activity of protecting the fish production, attacking harassing at sea etc. alone.



Happen to be sensitive one on birthday

The Chinese navy chooses to hold to the big maritime parade in Qingdao, have special meanings. There are close relations in growth history of Qingdao and Chinese navy, a lot of arms of the navies were all born and start, develop here, until moving towards the whole country and the world.

At the beginning of 1950, with the approval of Military Commission of the CPC Central Committee, prepared to establish and finished at the airport where the aviation school of the first navy was shabby on the Qingdao deep blue mouth. Soon, first of navy high to penetrate artillery troops establish in Qingdao even. On October 21 in the same year, set up the first bank big gun group of the navy on the island of group of Qingdao. Begin the navy and build the base of first submarine of China in Qingdao 2 years later. In June of 1954, the first submarine army of the navy was established.

After 60 of construction, the Chinese navy has had naval vessel, submarine, naval air force, synthetic services of defending arms' composition such as the army and marine crops of bank above water to already develop into at present, not only can carry on all arms to fight support the overall fire power the on the sea, sky synthetically in coordination with the ground force, air force.

Birthday of the 60th anniversary of navy and China's 60 anniversary of founding the country is just the same year. "Reform and opening-up was since the 30th anniversary, the whole Chinese development entered a new period, comprehensive national strength and international repercussions grow with each passing day, the function which China gives play to changes a great deal on the pattern of international community, celebrated the 60th anniversary of navy under this situation, went beyond the navy's own influence. " Bear admiral Yang Yi says, the construction of Chinese navy progresses quickly, the maritime parade can show the economic performance that we make, because the navy is an international services, can also represent the open and self-confident achievement, show the hope that China would like to cooperate with international community at the same time.

New China is established over half a century and more, though China sets up a navy with complete troops, but it is still limited to defend ability in the coast at present. Equip one famous expert of research institute and tell our publication in military logistics and military science and technology of National Defence University, it is for war that is should to changing mode and war shape, national defence visual field of China sharply should looks, in conformity with change, meet the requirement for development of era.

The foreign trade of strategic materials such as the present petroleum in China,etc., for the most part transport via the sea area of Malacca definitely, security of sea routes influence economic development, to block, can lead to the fact attacking to China economy seriously any main maritime passway directly. But the present limited naval strength of China, it is difficult to guarantee to be perfectly safe from the Middle East and strategic material transporting China back to of Africa, energy control, wait loud super national champion in U.S.A. still safely.

And recent south island with sovereign right repeated ferment of dispute, sea area of China, seem, reveal, solve territorial waters island belong to already extremely urgent.

Japanese prime minister Taro Aso claimed not long ago, Diaoyu Island was the inherent territory of Japan, it is a applicable target of " Japan-American security protection treaty ". Meanwhile, in mid-February of this year, Philippine classifies some islands and reefs of island of Huangyan and the Nansha Islands in the Zhongsha Islands as " the affiliated island of Philippine " ; On the 5th of March, Malaysian Premier Badavi lands the shot reeves of the Nansha Islands and reef of young animal of mere star, declare Malaysia has these islands and reefs in the capacity of the Premier and concurrently secretary of defence " The sovereignty " .

Generally acknowledged U.S.A. " It is slack not to have " The number spy's ship frequently sets out the exclusive maritime economic zone of China too, detective's information, carry on measuring illegally at sea. Under the relatively calm situation of the Taiwan Straits, China's peripheral water areas dispute seems to want to come in trials and hardship.



Maritime parade's purpose is in the exhibition capability

Participate in Beijing " Two Conferences " Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference(CPPCC) last committee member, vice admiral State of Zhao say about this harbour of medias the 30 jins, in view of strength, Chinese navy totally possesses the capability of safeguarding the South China Sea. China is devoted to safeguarding peace and stability in the South China Sea, but does not allow foreign country to provoke definitely.

30 jin emphasize in formerly the vice commandant and concurrently admiral in East China Sea of Military Area Command in Nanjing State of Zhao, China will certainly build the strong navy, should move towards the sea far, and will build the aircraft carrier sooner or later. But he says again, there are very complicated historical background and realistic factor in the question of the South China Sea, can not be solved completely quickly. China has followed the policy of suspending dispute, jointly developing for many years, is devoted to maintaining the steady environment of peace in the South China Sea, in order to strive for the national period of opportunity for development.

But the sound always suspended dispute, jointly developed in Beijing, before the action hit out voluntarily in countries such as Philippine,etc. island of the South China Sea this time, seem a bit feeble. Richly endowed produce resources lure the front in more than 300 sq. km. of coasts area in China, it is not obviously changed with compatriots' will that the neighbouring country is in power.

Folk nationalism mood has the tendency to resume recently at the continent. People think, have already changed into " Chinese side lays aside, develops in other country " to a certain extent in the sea area island of the South China Sea at present . So, China must revitalize and orient the strategy of the South China Sea, keeps certain political diplomacy and even military pressure in the South China Sea. Beijing scholar Wu JiaXiang even maintains China gives up laying the policy of the dispute with sovereign right of the South China Sea aside. He says: "China does not lack and implement the capability existing in military affairs in the South China Sea now, the scarce possibility is the resolution of sizing up the situation. "

Hold navy's maritime parade activity in sensitive April in period, so there are profound meanings. But in the one that equip that military personage in military logistics and science and technology of National Defence University is understood, the navy carries on the big maritime parade in Qingdao at this moment, is " only the coincidence on one time " ,Without direct inner link, if specially in order to deal with the south China's sea situation, Beijing can well make the military exercises, the manoeuvre has strategy to deter function, demonstrate it is a kind of image and show of capability at the most.

"The western various countries meet great celebration, will hold to the maritime parade, basically this is a convention too. " Yang Yi thinks, instead of show the capability, it would be better to say that can pass and participate in the maritime parade of Chinese navy, promote the mutual understanding between the navies of various countries, seek to tackle military cooperation that is challenged together in peacetime.

Last October, held in South Korea to the grand maritime parade in the 60th anniversary, China sent " the symbol of Harbin " The destroyer forms into columns to leave to participate in. And on March 9 this year, the navy sends " Guangzhou warship " The ones that join in Pakistan " Peace- 09" Much the League of Nations performs the maritime troop exercises.

The big parades of this navy of Qingdao, Chinese navy also invites every country in Southeast Asia to view and emulate and participate in hospitably. The military observer thinks, on the sovereignty and territory issue, China does not adopt the military force means of blustering etc., treat by building harmonious world and establishing the harmonious partner's relation more, but while hiding one's talent and living in obscurity, in order to seize the hour spirit stepping up promoting maritime fighting capacity in the Chinese navy, try to march toward navy's ranks of blue water as soon as possible.
