Chapter 1: The Admiral's Ambitions
Because some of the data in this volume is difficult to find, most of it is estimated based on other things, or everyone thinks that this is a parallel time and space, and some things may be the same as the setting in "Earth Online", but some things are different, and it's over. Let's not worry about the details......

Let's talk about the setting of this parallel world.
This time the time is the legendary 1876.
Liu Fei also got the information, and his memory will be partially blocked, and it will not be unlocked until the mission is completed.
However, the exchange rate between countries is unshakable: 1 tael of silver (Kuping silver) = 2.5 rubles = 0.75 pounds sterling = 1.25 US dollars = 8 soft sister coins = 100 yen (for the sake of calculation, let's do it). The value of items is also according to the value of today, of course, this is a parallel world, we can't ask this world how similar it is to our world, nor can we ask this world to be completely different from our world.
There may be similarities in this world, but there may also be differences.

The fate of the last years of the Qing Dynasty was tragic, in fact, it had nothing to do with the founding of this dynasty. I think there is a certain relationship, the Qing Dynasty emperor almost never thought that he could rule the Central Plains for a long time, and was ready to be driven away at any time. Therefore, they naturally do not have any sense of belonging to the land of the flower planter, even if they cut down more land, they will not have any feelings, let alone they are still nomads... The small peasant class, which came from the clan, naturally did not become long-term rulers without a correct worldview......
……
Liu Fei is the legendary Son of Destiny (Great Fog), who was born with a vision of heaven and earth (the year Ben Du was born with a tsunami 233 in Chile), and was already able to do something that children of the same age could not do. In fact, Liu Fei did not appear in this world normally in a physiological sense, Liu Fei's appearance was completely a change in matter and energy. No one could say how Liu Fei appeared, and even the people in Liujia Village didn't know.
But the people of Liujia Village still treated everyone equally, included Liu Fei in the family tree, and prepared the name of Liu Fei as an adult early - the word Xiaoyong to serve the country. Because Liu Fei is a rootless person, he naturally has nothing to worry about, so he is the best talent to serve the country.
Then Liu Fei surprised them by what he did, and when he was 8 years old (1884), Liu Fei began some very unusual activities - including the use of funds from unknown sources to hire craftsmen to secretly build two large dry docks 280 meters long (I should convert to zhang, but I don't) and two large ship-repair docks with 300-meter-long and 60-meter-wide docks, or large berths with ship-repair equipment. The most important thing is that the fact is that none of these craftsmen know where they came from, as if they never appeared.
And this building is also very hidden, almost in a big one... In the middle of the hills, no one can see that there is a huge shipyard made of reinforced concrete and steel walls several meters thick.
But in fact, this is just a shipyard built by Liu Fei in the system, a military shipyard with a little self-defense function. If it is a civilian shipyard, it is calculated directly according to the tonnage, and in the system, only military shipyards will use the size of the dock to calculate.
In fact, Liu Fei is now building two trial ships, and although he can only use the technology of the last few years, Liu Fei still orders a few technology trees very painfully, even if this thing is really already available after a few years.
In the process of building two trial ships, Liu Fei continued to revise the design, from the initial displacement of 800 tons to the displacement of more than 1,000 tons, and then the cost went up. Even if there is a complete industrial system in the shipyard, these raw materials still need to be provided by Liu Fei, so the silver exchanged for energy in the system will go out. After buying the pig iron, the shipyard processed it and installed it on the ship, which is not inexpensive.
After more than two years, the destroyer was finally finalized - the "Type 1888 Destroyer Trial Ship" class destroyer [DDX] (1888 Class Destroyer Testship), and two ships of the same class were built, namely the "Feitian" (DDX-01) and the "Escape" (DDX-02). They were armed with a 101-mm main gun and a 76-mm secondary gun, and of course a 533-mm torpedo .. Tubes are also essential.
Liu Fei did not continue to manufacture because of various cost reasons, because Liu Fei found that the cost of such a destroyer was too high, and by 18 ... After the outfitting was completed in 92, the cost of a single destroyer reached 500,000 taels of silver, which was embarrassing. The price of the destroyer in Liu Fei's heart should be compressed to about 80,000, otherwise the cost will be too high to be used as a lightning strike ship.
And because the freeboard problem was not taken into account when it was built, only 0.79 meters of freeboard remained after this class of destroyers were fully loaded, which is very painful, because this is not suitable for high-sea navigation, that is to say, these two destroyers are at most fighting in the near sea area, and it is impossible to enter the rough Pacific Ocean or Atlantic, not to mention the North Sea.
This did not meet the standards of the ocean-going navy formulated by Liu Fei, so it was naturally impossible to continue to build, but the two that had already been built naturally had to come in handy, so they were used as training ships, and Liu Fei was ready to design new ships while waiting for a turning point war two years later.
Liu Fei is not plotting a small official and a half-post in the army, let alone a nominal pipe band, Liu Fei is plotting the navy - the entire navy!
Liu Fei knows that he is not engaged in politics... Governance of talents, so take a step back, politics.. A marshal who is not so strong in governance is naturally a good choice. The later marshals of the flower planters were all very glamorous - of course, they also paid great sacrifices before the founding of the country. As long as you live well, you should be able to reach that time, and before that, you can create a government for yourself. The bargaining chip of the game - the navy.
Now Liu Fei can't directly build the air force, nor can he build a large army, but can only build a big navy.
In this era, there is no ship-borne radar, and no one can know whose ship it is if no one can see it clearly from a distance, and there is no radio in naval warfare now, so it is more suitable for some purposeful concealment.
And then even the British Royal Navy is useless, because the speed of this ship is too fast to catch up at all, how can it be destroyed or seen? After all, Liu Fei ordered the training fleet to avoid any ships it saw, so that he could make his training fleet a legendary killer.
Two years later, the killer feature of the war!
This is not the interest of a small group of individuals, this is a war that gambles on the fortunes of the country, even if it is infamy, what can it be worth? As long as you can get back a little bit of national luck, everything is worth it!

In a word:
Those who steal the hook will be punished, and those who steal the country will be punished!
