Chapter 1530 Current situation of the fleet (Happy birthday to unknown Han)

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The 300 heavy artillery pieces and 900 small artillery pieces purchased by the inspection fleet take up two and a half years of the current Junshan military industry's productivity. It sounds like a lot, but as Du Xingyan said, it is indeed not enough.

    The Fulu cannon is much smaller than the French crossbow heavy cannon and takes up a lot less space. A battleship with three decks can, in principle, be equipped with forty-eight heavy cannons and twelve small cannons according to the equipment plan discussed between Junshan Technology and Longjiang shipyards.  As for guns, if all fifteen battleships are refitted, 720 heavy guns and 160 small guns must be prepared.

    This is just a requirement for battleships. The standard configuration of a heavy destroyer is eighteen heavy guns and sixteen small guns, the standard equipment of a frigate is two heavy guns and eighteen small guns, and the standard equipment of a patrol ship is six small guns.  The wind clipper is a small cannon.  The inspection fleet has more than 60 heavy destroyers, more than 180 frigates, more than 300 patrol ships, and more than 400 sailing ships. The total number of heavy artillery and small artillery required is enough for Junshan Military Industry to produce for seven or eight years.  .

    But the actual situation must not last more than seven or eight years, because we are still facing the pressure of competing with the "army" on the ground for artillery.

    The navy¡¯s version of the Fulu heavy artillery needs a retreating gun mount. Junshan Technology is working hard to solve the problem. Without this thing, after several artillery salvos, the warship will be shaken to pieces by the force of the counterattack.

    Therefore, if the South China Sea Squadron wants to equip Fulu artillery, there is no hope for at least one year. If the situation does not change, they are likely to get some Fulu artillery in half a year for the training and exploration of the soldiers - after all, the inspection fleet  The current focus is not here.

    Zhao Ran said: "I'll urge Junshan Military Industry later and ask them to expand production!"

    Zhao Ran asked about the current situation of Du Xingyan and the other monks, and Du Xingyan said: "After the Battle of Zhongkui Island, all members of our seventh team broke through. It can be seen that the experience of the sea battle is very important for the monks' spiritual advancement.  Lan Shuimo also formed a pill. His sect wanted him to return to the mountain, but he didn't agree. Like me, he took the initiative to apply to the South China Sea Squadron. He is now the trainee captain of the heavy destroyer Nanyang. Mo Buping and Shao Yu  The same is true for the line. Mo Buping commanded the heavy destroyer Dengzhou, and Shao Yuxing commanded the Laizhou My next step is to take over the Shanxi, but the Shanxi is a battleship, which is not trivial. I have to intern on this heavy destroyer for a year first.  ¡­¡±

    Zhao Ran was watching the sea on the deck and listening to Du Xingyan's story, and he had a better understanding of the current situation of the fleet.  Because the focus of the inspection fleet is not in the South China Sea, the South China Sea Squadron commanded by Du Yangchen is actually a fleet used to run in newcomers, and the seventh team is crammed here.

    Asked about Yang Xianxian again, Du Xingyan said that Yang Xianxian was in the main fleet and was now the captain of the battleship Henan. He heard that they had marched thousands of miles eastward from the Dujiao Islands and were following Chen Shandao's strategy of moving steadily around the demon hell.  On the outer edge of the sea, one island after another continued to penetrate deeper into the northeast, but he didn't know exactly where he was.

    After sailing for two days and sending most of the merchant ships into Halong Bay, the escort fleet continued to sail south for three days and said goodbye to the remaining merchant ships at Tuen Mun Island.  These merchant ships are heading west to Yunji Island. They are also equipped with French crossbows and heavy cannons, but they are old-fashioned and not Ming Dynasty standard equipment. If they travel together, they can easily deal with small groups of scattered pirates.  After the inspection fleet is equipped with talisman artillery, the eliminated magic crossbows can be resold to them.

    After staying on Tuen Mun Island for a day, the escort fleet headed southeast. Zhao Ran asked about Jinghua Island. Du Xingyan introduced: "From here to the south, about eight hundred miles is Jinghua Island. Jinghua Island is now the second branch of the South China Sea.  The base of the fleet, the battleship Guangdong is stationed there, including my heavy cruiser Changzhou, which also belongs to Jinghua Island. Originally there were not many people on the island, but after the arrival of the Second Squadron, many maritime merchants opened there  After the separation, many seafarers and fishermen from the South China Sea settled on Jinghua Island."

    Zhao Ran asked again: "How many people are there on the island? Are the food, clothing, housing and transportation okay?"

    Du Xingyan replied: "There are now 1,800 people on the island. Because the Second Squadron is stationed, Jinghua Island has become the hub of the route from Lvzhu Island to Yunji Island. This route connects the East China Sea and the South China Sea.  The maritime trade route is very prosperous with merchant ships docking almost every day.¡±

    Zhao Ran glanced behind him and asked in a low voice: "How is the island owner?"

    Du Xingyan replied: "Actually, the South China Sea Fleet's choice of Yunji Island and Jinghua Island as the two fleets' berth ports has a lot to do with the island owners. For example, the island owner's ruthless sword on Jinghua Island is a refiner's cultivation  , the fighting strength is top-notch in the South China Sea. It can effectively deter the island owners of all parties and ensure the safety of the stationed base. The existence of the fleet can also in turn ensure the safety of the waters surrounding Jinghua Island and complement each other. I heard that the Jueqing Sword was born  Wenqing Sect, I am a disciple of the Daomen Pavilion, and I can trust you completelyHey, by the way, isn't this Abbot Zhao your fellow disciple?"

    Zhao Ran nodded: "She traveled overseasIn more than ten years, I have met her less oftenbut there is absolutely no problem in terms of trust.  "

    Du Xingyan lamented: "When I was on Jinghua Island, I met the Jueqing Jian twice. She was so so beautiful The officers and soldiers of our squadron all said that this is the most beautiful woman in the South China Sea, and they must protect the beauty to the death."  Huadao, we can¡¯t let her suffer the slightest injustice, haha.¡±

    Zhao Ran said: "Zhu Qigu from Yunji Island is also beautiful."

    Du Xingyan shook his head and smiled: "The brothers of the First Squadron said that Zhu Qigu is the number one in the South China Sea. Of course our Second Fleet did not agree. We think that the Ruthless Sword is the number one. When we were sleeping in Qinzhou Port, both sides were still arguing about this.  Had a fight."

    Zhao Ran glanced behind him again and suddenly asked: "Senior Brother Du, does he have someone he likes? You can ask Rong Niang to introduce it to you. She has many close friends, all of whom are good people."

    Du Xingyan said openly: "My family has proposed marriage to the Jinhui sect and is planning to marry An Miao from the Jinhui sect. However, the Jinhui sect advocates solitary cultivation, so it is a bit difficult."

    Zhao Ran said: "I heard that Sima Zhifu wants to marry An Miao?"

    Du Xingyan nodded: "That's true."

    Rong Niang walked out of the cabin and came over here. After hearing this, she said: "Senior Brother Du, don't be afraid. Junior Sister An Miao doesn't like Sima. If Senior Brother Du likes it, ask Zhiran to help you find Zhenren Zhou, Jinghui  The elder happens to be working in Jiuzhou Pavilion, so if Zhenren Zhou speaks, she must consider it carefully."

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????and and said: "Furthermore, don't they, the Jinhui Sect, still want to establish a foundation in Hengduan Mountain? If they dare not marry Senior Brother Du, Zhiran will let the overseas reclamation company not approve their application!"

    Du Xingyan smiled bitterly: "Then even if I marry An Miao, I won't dare to meet anyone from the Jinhui sect."

    After some joking, Rong Niang asked: "How far is it from Luosha Island?"

    Du Xingyan said: "We'll be there in two days."

    ps: Today is the birthday of fellow Taoist Shishihan. Taoist Master Babao rises up to wish fellow Taoist a happy birthday.  The title of this chapter congratulates the ancestor of the consumed spirit fox who owes a new talisman.
