《Shooting Stars》How powerful is Hua Zhen’s Lightning School?

《Shooting Stars》We have seen countless plot advancements in the TV series, but there is always one question lingering in our minds.What everyone wants to know is, what kind of school is Hua Zhen’s Dian Lei School?Many knowledgeable people call this school awesome when they hear its name, but for those who don’t know, they are extremely curious about what this school studies and how awesome it is?

According to the plot introduction, the second young master Hua Zhen, who was born into a family of officials, was supposed to have a promising career in the Nationalist Government in Nanjing. However, he abandoned his writing and joined the army and devoted himself to Jiangyin Dianlei School and became a student of the second phase of the Navigation Department. If he had gone according to the original planAfter graduation, he is about to board a ship and go to the ocean to study and become a member of the navy.In fact, it was once prominent, but its history of existence is too short, so it’s no wonder that everyone doesn’t know about it.

Introduction to the history and background of Dianlei School

In 1932, Dianlei School was established at Ganlu Temple in Zhenjiang. In 1936, it moved to Huangshan Port in Jiangyin. In 1938, it was canceled by Chiang Kai-shek's order.

In the six years since Dianlei School has existed, it has enrolled more than 500 students and graduated 108 students.

In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the Lightning School had 11 speedboats incorporated into the battle order of the speedboat brigade. It also purchased submarine gunboats, new torpedo boats, and torpedo boats from Germany and Britain. It was the combat unit with the most torpedo boats in China.

During the Kuomintang period, the navy was weak, but there were many factions, namely the Fujian faction, the Northeast faction, the Cantonese faction, and the Lightning faction.

The Fujian navy was the main force of the navy at that time and was subordinate to the Ministry of Navy. Its members were a mixed bag, including graduates from Mawei Shipbuilding School and professional naval officers from various backgrounds such as Guangdong Huangpu Naval School.

The Northeast Navy is the successor to the former Beiyang Navy of the Qing Dynasty, and is mainly composed of students from the Qingdao Maritime School.

The Cantonese Navy is the Guangdong Navy, named after the majority of its members came from the Huangpu Naval Academy.

During the Northern Expedition, after Chiang Kai-shek formally unified China, he successively took charge of the Northeast and Guangdong naval forces, and then founded the Lightning School. He claimed that the Lightning School was an army school for studying offensive and defensive warfare in the water, but he refused to admit Fujian students when enrolling students.As a student, Chiang Kai-shek's intention to establish a direct naval force to replace the Central Army of the Fujian Navy is obvious.

After the Dianlei School moved to Jiangyin in 1936, it was renamed the Dianlei School of the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs and was directly under the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs. Chiang Kai-shek personally served as the principal, and the former principal Ouyang Ge served as the director of education. The school continued to grow in size.

The second class of the Dianlei School where Hua Zhen worked was the only class of students for whom Chiang Kai-shek was the principal.

Because it is a direct lineage, the Dianlei School is jokingly called “military within the army”. However, the Fujian Clan, which represents the strength of the navy, does not recognize that the Dianlei Department is affiliated with the navy. Therefore, the internal fighting between the Fujian Clan and the Dianlei Department continues.As the clique grows stronger day by day, the conflicts between the Fujian clique and the Lightning Clan become more intensified.

So when the Anti-Japanese War broke out, the first and second batches of students from the Dianlei School graduated successfully, while the third and fourth batches of students were not accepted by the Naval Command due to internal strife and were later merged into the Qingdao Naval School.

The 12 torpedo boats and other series of combat equipment affiliated to the Lightning School are handed over to the Navy Headquarters.

In 1938, when the second batch of trainees graduated, Ouyang Ge was dismissed and detained on charges of poor combat performance, corruption and other crimes, and the Lightning School was also abolished.

Since then, the once-prominent Dianlei School has withdrawn from the stage of history, but the heroic anti-war spirit of the teachers and students of Dianlei School will last forever.

During the Battle of Songhu, two torpedo boats from the Lightning School disguised as civilian ships unexpectedly attacked the flagship of the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet, the Izumo, causing minor damage to the stern of the Izumo. This was the first time in the history of the Chinese Navy's anti-war initiative thatThe battle of attack.

From this, everyone now understands how awesome this school is.We can't help but sigh that the weakness of the navy will bring disaster to the family and the country.Now our country's navy can be extremely powerful. This is when we are proud, and it is also the reason why we will always be our ancestors.Without them, we wouldn't be where we are today.

Having said so much, I believe everyone already knows how powerful the Thunder School where Hua Zhen is from - Shooting Stars - and has a pretty good idea of ​​where the story will go from here. Even if you have any doubts later on, don’t worry.The line class will continue to provide you with relevant plot analysis.
