Chapter 200: The Ambition of the Sun

When the two of them knew that the Franc Empire had already divided the earth into two with the Spanish Empire, one to the west and the other to the east, and wantonly divided the colonies. Now it has circled the world and met in the South Seas. When the vassal kingdom of the Ming Dynasty was forced to declare itself a vassal to them, and those who did not obey were directly destroyed by them, the anger in their hearts can be imagined!

This is a damage to the authority of the Heavenly Empire, and this is an invasion of the Great Tomorrow!

When any man from the Han family hears about this, he will suddenly cry out in vain, his eyes are red!

How can we allow Hongmaoyi to be so rampant and treat our Ming Dynasty as nothing?

Fuck it!

Therefore, Jin Ke and Wang Rulong can completely understand Zhao Hao's ambition, which is due to the dignity of the proud people of the Celestial Empire!

Zhao Hao pressed the straw hat on his head, sighed and said: "Actually, this should be a matter of the imperial court, but the two of you must also feel the same way, the imperial court is already thankful that the imperial court does not hold back." But to expect the imperial court to establish a strong sailor and go overseas to fight is probably a fool's dream. ”

"Hmm......" The two nodded dejectedly, how did they and Zhu Jue get kicked out of the barracks?

Isn't it that Qi Dashuai thinks that the northern soldiers are arrogant and slack, and wants to transfer Zhejiang soldiers to Beijing as pacesetters, and then transfer some former subordinates to help him train together? In the eyes of the civilian clique, this is simply a great rebellion and conspiracy! If it weren't for Zhang Xianggong and Tan Zhongcheng to protect him, I'm afraid the handsome would have to go back to his hometown to fish!

How could a civilian official defend against a military general like a thief, and how could he agree to use the power of the whole country to build an invincible armada that sails thousands of miles at every turn and is nowhere to be found? Is that to scare them to death?

Besides, how many bad things are there in the Ming Dynasty? In the eyes of the princes of the DPRK and China, which is not more important than building a navy? After all, the Daming Naval Division is still invincible in the Beiyang. Who really cares about the sea and sea power?

"Since the imperial court can't count on it, then we can only do it ourselves." For the first time, Zhao Hao completely made his words clear: "But there are too many constraints in China." Even in Jiangnan, there are many pairs of eyes staring, looking for us everywhere, and they can't do it with great fanfare. ”

"Besides, it's not a problem that we're always secretive! If the name is not right, the words are not good, and if the words are not good, it will not be done! As he spoke, he waved his hand and pointed to the blue bay at the foot of the mountain:

"How nice it is to be here, the sky is high and the birds are flying, and the sea is wide and the fish is jumping! We can do whatever we want, we are the king of this Tamna Island! Only the army brought out in such a place will have the domineering spirit of giving up on others, and will not be as cautious and uncomfortable as it is in China! ”

"Yes." Jin Ke nodded heavily, which was what he had been worried about.

An army must have a clear identity, and the security guards have been confused in this regard. Who are they? Nursing home? Bodyguards or private armed? However, in order not to attract attention, this aspect of the group has always been secretive and has never been clearly defined.

This worries Jinke.

At present, the security guards have been trained by strict military regulations and devils, so that they have lost the ability to think, and have become a combat machine with orders and prohibitions.

But people's adaptability is terrible, when they become veterans and become accustomed to military regulations and training, they will recover their minds and begin to think that they are just being paid as soldiers, why should they sacrifice their lives and forget about death? No matter how high the salary is, you have to have a life flower. If you die and become disabled, what is the use of how much pension you give?

Once this kind of thinking spreads in the army, the will to fight of the security forces will fade sharply. In that way, when fighting a tailwind battle, it can still maintain a high combat effectiveness. But when fighting against the wind, the army is strained faster than anyone else!

This is the soldier's oil mentality that the soldiers hate, but cannot be eradicated.

In this regard, Qi Dashuai's prescription was to instill the idea of national integrity and defending the country into the minds of officers and men. Let the soldiers know what they are fighting for, who they are fighting for, and be proud of their sacrifices.

But obviously, the security group can't take the medicine according to the prescription, because it's not right - how can the security team members of the Jiangnan group realize that they are fighting for the nation and the country? It's too strong to be difficult.

Brainwashing that does not resonate will not only fail, but will also have side effects.

Jinke couldn't think of a good way, and neither did Wang Rulong. But since Zhao Gongzi has long realized the importance of being justified, I believe he has already had a way to deal with it!

~~

"I'm optimistic about Shiroyamaura." Zhao Hao said categorically to the two of them: "It's good here, the pattern is big enough, the eagle strikes the sky, the fish soars to the shallow bottom, and all kinds of frost compete for freedom!" ”

He paused and said, "As for the problem of sheltering from the wind that Brother Jin said, it is not difficult to solve. We have such an artifact as cement, and the stone on the island is inexhaustible and inexhaustible, and the harbor windshield wall is repaired, and two zhang is not enough to repair three zhang, is there a big deal?! ”

"As long as the son is willing to spend money, any problem can be solved." Jin Ke smiled embarrassedly.

"You can rest assured, this investment will never be lost." Zhao Hao smiled faintly, then turned his head to look at Wang Rulong and said, "As for Brother Wang, why can't you be in Dajing County and the transit port together?" First of all, confidentiality and security cannot be guaranteed! ”

"yes." Wang Rulong also thought about it at this time, scratched his head and sneered: "If we share a port with civilian ships, then how many ships we have, how many guns and how many people are on board, how many boats are out and how many boats are in the port, everyone can see it clearly." And it's hard to stop spies from infiltrating and sabotaging. ”

"Yes, the location of the naval base is very particular. First of all, it must be strategically located. Shiroyamaura faced Japan and guarded the westward entrance of the Japanese invaders. If something happens, it will be two days faster than from the west side of the island! Therefore, its strategic position is far better than that of Dajing. ”

"At the same time, it must be a natural harbor in terms of natural conditions. In addition to being freezing, protected from natural disasters such as typhoons, earthquakes, and tsunamis, there should also be many islands as natural barriers, forming a natural harbor surrounded by mountains and rivers and calm winds. The so-called 'surrounded by mountains, reliable defense'. ”

Zhao Gongzi is now becoming more and more powerful, and his words are becoming more and more expensive, and it is very rare to talk eloquently like now. It can be seen that these words have been brewing in his heart for an unknown amount of time, and he must spit it out as soon as possible.

"But the coastline of Tamna Island is too straight, and a port like Seongsanpo, which has two mountains as gateways, is already the most suitable place for the whole island. Fortunately, the conditions of this sunrise peak are too good, which can greatly make up for the weakness of not being surrounded by mountains. ”

"In addition, military ports, dry docks, barracks, tuntian, and other supporting facilities will occupy a large amount of land and excellent commercial ports, which will seriously restrict the development of civilian ports, and even restrict each other." Zhao Hao finally said in a deep voice:

"Of course, the military port is located in Dajing County, and the logistical pressure will be much less. However, it is less than 20 miles away from Jingyi County, and the basic logistics support is still supported. However, I do not deny that in Dajing County, the life of the soldiers will be a little more colorful. Zhao Hao finally asked rhetorically: "But is this a problem that our fleet should consider?" ”

"It shouldn't be considered." Wang Rulong hurriedly shook his head into a rattle and said: "If you are a soldier, you have to stay away from the lights, and the simpler your life, the better." ”

"Well, that's good. This Tamna Island is a place for war preparation, and when we return to China, we will have plenty of vacation for the soldiers. Zhao Hao said with a smile: "If you change your guard every half a year, you won't suffer from homesickness, right?" ”

"Half a year is too short......," Wang Rulong was just halfway through his words, when he suddenly realized that this policy was actually to train soldiers in rotation and temper more qualified security guards. He nodded, "Understood." ”

After all, the Japanese are just a whetstone used by Zhao Gongzi to train his troops, and the real opponent is in the south!

~~

"Why does Childe value Japan so much?" Jinke is concerned with another issue. Zhao Hao set up his base in the east of Jeju Island, and it was obvious that the main energy of this fleet in the future would be to pass through Japan.

"Because our future fleet depends on them to pay the bill." This is another topic that Zhao Hao is very interested in, and he said to Jin Ke with a smile: "A medium-sized blacktail ship costs eight hundred taels of silver, and our premium is two thousand taels. Together with all kinds of artillery, it will cost a total of four thousand taels. Many people already think that this is burning money. But you know what? At the Portsmouth Docks in England, a double-deck light Galen ship cost 80,000 taels of silver. This is only the price of the empty hull, plus fifty-five main guns, as well as countless Franc machines and gyroscopes, the total price is more than 100,000 taels of silver. ”

"Ah......" Jinke Wang Rulong almost dropped their jaws in shock, and they knew why a Portuguese warship could repel Zeng's fleet.

Because the cost of a boat is higher than that of a fleet of his ships. If he can't beat a fleet, why would people spend so much money to build a big warship? How cheap is it to build a dozen of them?

"The Spanish treasure ship of the Spanish Empire, the cost of one is as high as 200,000 taels of silver." Zhao Hao sighed, he hadn't told the two of them yet, what about the cost of the third-class, second-class, and first-class ships that would appear in the future.

In the future, the cost of a bare ship of a first-class ship is generally more than 300,000 yuan in silver. The third-class ship, which is the main force of the fleet, costs more than 150,000 taels of silver.

The high cost of building a ship is enough to drag down any empire, let alone a mere Jiangnan Group Zhao Gongzi?

"But these giant ships must be built!" The two only listened to Zhao Hao's deep voice: "There is no morality at sea, it is the law of the jungle!" If we want to go out in the future, we will inevitably clash with the two major empires of Francois and Spain. And in a few years, the fleets of the Netherlands and Britain will also come and break into our golden sea of endless wealth! ”

"Although I don't want to destroy my own prestige and grow the morale of others. But I want to tell you the fact that, thanks to the civilian officials, our shipbuilding technology has lagged behind Europe. The only one that can compete with the Galen ship is the Galen ship, so we must master the same ship as well, otherwise all the ambitions are in vain! ”
