Fukudaura.

Ma Yinglong commanded the coast guard members to be busy for a morning before completing the work of prisoner custody, ship takeover, and material inventory.

Wang Rulong, together with several captains and several operational staff officers of the General Staff Office, were busy formulating the next battle plan in the flagship conference room - the initial battle plan had completed the most urgent one, the capture of the Galen ship. There are also two things that need to be achieved by eliminating the power of the Songpo Party and helping the Tamna Chamber of Commerce to monopolize trade with Japan.

Speaking of which, these two things are actually indistinguishable from each other. In the Age of Discovery, war and trade were like twins, always closely linked.

The so-called 'when the cannon goes off, the gold is ten thousand taels', in a force with a strong mercantilist color like the Jiangnan Group, it will be easier to unify the understanding - it is impossible to buy and sell the lost capital, and even more so to fight a war. If a war does not bring positive gains, it is a harmful war and must be resolutely avoided.

The purpose of Zhao Gongzi's establishment of the staff office in the garrison area was to quantify the war.

The task of the General Staff is to make plans for all battles and to account for the expenses and revenues of the entire campaign and each battle. In order to prevent commanders from overheating their minds, blindly expanding the scale of war, raising the cost of war, and reducing the benefits of war.

Of course, Zhao Hao also took into account the lack of experience in the early days of the establishment of the General Staff Office, which was easy to make random plans and detached from reality. For example, blindly asking for the conservation of ammunition, being too conservative or radical, instead took the fleet he had worked so hard to build up into the ditch. So he first asked Wang Rulong to concurrently serve as the chief of staff, and made a plan for himself, so that he would not tie his hands and feet or be overwhelmed, right?

As for the future, let's wait until the staff office is up and running first......

~~

Zhao Gongzi had a quiet sleep in the morning. In fact, he has always been very idle, since he promised Wang Rulong not to command blindly, of course his words must be counted. From the perspective of being a good boss if you don't cause trouble, Zhao Gongzi is simply the best boss in the world.

slept until half past eleven, and he was called up by Secretary Ma and left her at the mercy of washing and dressing. It wasn't until I came out of the bedroom and sat down at the dining table outside that I regained my spirits.

At this time, there was still a little time before eating, Zhao Gongzi drank hot milk and chatted with his eldest nephew...... In order to ensure the growth and development of the son, Wang Rulong specially asked Haier Ge to raise a cow on the flagship. The group is tied to the son, and making him physically strong is a blessing for everyone.

The eldest nephew naturally has milk to drink, but he only cares about bowing his head and writing and drawing, and he has no time to drink milk at all.

"You're trying to improve the rocket?" Zhao Hao picked up a piece of manuscript paper and looked at the sketch above.

"Yes, uncle." The eldest nephew came to Zhao Hao to determine the direction of research. Although he feels that he still has some talent in weapon design, he feels that compared with his respected uncle, that is, Mr. Wang met Wang Mazi, I don't know how much worse.

On the road of invention and creation, my uncle is the lighthouse when he gets lost, and the light that guides him in the direction!

Zhao Shizhen has become accustomed to asking his uncle if this is right every time he has a new idea, so that not only can he avoid many detours, but also continue to get crucial new inspiration.

"By watching these two battles, I feel that the Lei Gong Rocket has a lot of potential." Zhao Shizhen rubbed his hands and said: "This thing has a fast rate of fire and is flexible, if it can improve the range and accuracy, it will be a powerful supplement to the artillery!" ”

"Hmm." Zhao Hao smiled and nodded, not surprising that Zhao Shizhen had such an opinion.

In another time and space, the Kangreve rocket, which was improved by the British on the basis of the Daming iron-shell rocket, was widely used in the Napoleonic Wars once equipped, and it was successful several times.

Later, under Congreve's personal command, the British Navy fired about 25,000 rockets into Copenhagen, almost burning the city to the ground and forcing Denmark to surrender. At the Battle of Leipzig in 1812, the British rocket artillery unit of the Swedish army 'smashed a squad of French troops like a pile of ants' with a single heavy fire.

What makes the Chinese people lament is that the British army also used a large number of such rockets in the two Opium Wars to attack military camps and burn cities, which made the Qing army terrified. In the Battle of Bali Bridge, the Mongolian iron cavalry of Seng Lingqin was defeated by this 'Hongyi Firearm' that dragged the red tail flame and roared and flew in...... It can only be said that you can't live if you do your own evil, you should!

Such a sharp firearm will naturally attract the attention of a firearms genius like Zhao Shizhen, who has been born for hundreds of years.

Of course, the disadvantages of this rocket are also obvious - one is that it has low accuracy and does not hit the surface. The second is that it runs on a strange trajectory, and once the wind direction changes, it may come back and hurt its own people. Therefore, the leading role of artillery could not be shaken, and when the new artillery appeared, it quickly withdrew from the stage until Katyusha sang that moving song.

However, this kind of thing is indeed a useful supplement to the current artillery. And the most important thing is that Daming has developed a basically usable iron-hulled rocket. On this basis, the Congreve rocket, which is simple to make, has low process requirements, and is powered by granulated black powder, is not difficult at all!

Even if because of gunpowder, it is not possible to make a blasting warhead for the time being, tearing the sails of ships with sharp arrows and burning houses with tail flames, is it still beautiful?

"It's not hard to increase the range, it's all about balance." Zhao Hao looked at the drawings in his hand and pointed cautiously: "It's almost enough to test the length of the arrow, tail wing, and balance bar repeatedly to find the most suitable match." Then there's the idea of figuring out how to put it in a tube and fire it to improve the accuracy, but don't get your hopes up, this thing will always be in volume. ”

Zhao Gongzi silently added in his heart, except for a certain rabbit's precision-guided rocket launcher......

"Really?" Zhao Shizhen was a little disappointed and said: "I thought I could rely on this thing to break into Kyoto and capture Oda City alive." ”

"Poof...... Zhao Hao almost soaked, coughing again and again: "You haven't forgotten yet?" ”

"Why don't I come to Japan?" Zhao Shizhen said with a serious face: "My nephew has always been aiming for this!" ”

"Ahem, what an ambition!" Zhao Gongzi said embarrassedly: "It's just one, Ah Shi is not in Kyoto; Second, although she is still very young, she is already the mother of the child. After a pause, he smiled strangely: "But her daughter is also very handsome, why don't you wait?" ”

"No, I just want Oda!" Zhao Shizhen said firmly: "Uncle, I will definitely make more powerful firearms to help you sweep through Japan, and let them obediently sacrifice them!" ”

"Okay, ambitious." Zhao Hao sighed, and said in his heart that Ah Shi would become a widow in a few years, and then see if there was a chance to do it for his eldest nephew.

However, he didn't dare to tell his eldest nephew that eighty percent of the Japanese ladies of this era were heavily powdered, bald eyebrows and black teeth, and he hoped that Shizhen would not feel disillusioned at that time.

At this time, Qiaoqiao began to serve the food, and the two tacitly terminated the topic.

~~

After a morning of discussions, the General Staff Office came up with a plan for the next steps. As soon as the meeting ended, Wang Rulong hurriedly ran to report to Zhao Gongzi. If it's late, I missed the meal.

saw Ma Yinglong also hurriedly rushing over with a cowhide briefcase, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

"Please!"

"Please!"

After the ceremony, the two entered the house to see Childe.

"Haha, I knew you two were going to eat again." Zhao Hao couldn't help laughing, pointed to a table of sumptuous dishes and said, "Look, I specially instructed Sister Qiaoqiao to reward you well!" ”

The two of them won the battle, so they naturally had a special face, smiled and thanked the son, and thanked the Qiaoqiao girl very politely, and happily entered the table to eat.

Qiaoqiao was also very happy, and she had received unprecedented praise from senior police officers for this trip. And she found that Childe dined with these police officers who were reincarnated like hungry ghosts, and would eat two more bowls each time. He pursed his lips and smiled, and went to the back kitchen with enthusiasm to continue his work.

"Did the officers improve their food at noon?" Looking at the two of them, Zhao Hao asked with concern.

"Mmmm, let the kitchen stew rice and stew everyone at noon and send it to the post. When the evening is over, we will have a good meal. "The logistics support is also the responsibility of the police commissioner, Ma Yinglong is reliable, he doesn't have to worry about Zhao Gongzi when he says this.

~~

Wang Rulong and Ma Yinglong were indeed hungry, and the two of them had eaten a few mouthfuls of dry food to satisfy their hunger from midnight to now. Grab a meal at this time and still don't let go of your belly to eat?

After eating seven or eight minutes full, Ma Yinglong poured out his mouth and reported various statistical results to Zhao Gongzi.

"There were no casualties in the battle last night, but two were drowned." Ma Yinglong said: "One is a marine, who fell into the water when he got on the galleon, and drowned when he caught it. ”

"Damn, the red-haired ghost's boat is too high." Wang Rulong chewed a piece of chicken bone and scolded: "It's like climbing Mount Hua, it's strange if the black light is blind and nothing happens." ”

"The other one is the sailor on the 208 ship, and after the battle, he found that he couldn't find it, and he should have fallen overboard." Ma Yinglong sighed and said: "This second-level police officer is even more miserable, he can't see anyone alive, he can't see his body dead, and he can't find anyone at dawn." ”

"Alas......" Zhao Gongzi also sighed, for his so-called ideals, the list of victims has become longer again.

"Childe, don't be nitpicky, this time it has greatly exceeded expectations!" Wang Rulong, a battle-hardened general, naturally did not act coyly, and said casually: "Originally, according to the estimate of the General Staff Office, it was best to fold dozens of brothers in this battle. ”

"This is because the enemy did not open fire, and the second is that after all the bronze cannons were replaced, the artillery was much safer. Last night, the artillery was fired so violently, only two cannons were blown up, and no one was injured! Saying that, he stretched out his big hand like a bear's paw, patted Zhao Shizhen's back heavily, and laughed:

"You're a great cannon king!"

Zhao Shizhen almost didn't let him shoot it in the soup pot, rubbing his back and smiling bitterly.

Zhao Gongzi almost burst out laughing, so he rushed to the name of his eldest nephew, and he had to find a few more Dongying women for him!

ps. I took my son to see 'My Hometown and Me' today, it's really good, it's worth the ticket price, and it's strongly Amway. In addition, so the second update is only half written until now......
