The Admiralty, strictly speaking, is not an organization officially recognized by the Executive Committee, and it is on the official roster of organizations that are the Fisheries Production Group and the Bopu Port District. They are subordinate to the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Civil Affairs. According to the official division of labor, one is mainly engaged in fishery production and maritime transportation, while the other is responsible for managing all the affairs of the Bopu camp, including regular maintenance of the ships moored in the port.

However, the two departments have recently been merged, following the private lobbying activities of some former Navy personnel and some naval enthusiasts, and although the Executive Committee does not comment on this at the moment, it is clear to those who hold positions on the Executive Committee that this merger is inevitable.

Unlike the various departments that built houses on the enclosure, the people of the navy did not look down on the red brick buildings of brick and wood structures, and they liked the baroque naval buildings, and before such houses could be built, the Fengcheng wheel became the office of this informal admiralty.

The Fengcheng ship completed its historical mission from the day of anchorage on the D-day. Until the Traverser re-establishes the oil industry, it can only anchor in the harbor. The ship was carefully cared for - this ship had modern nautical equipment: radar, compass, nautical clock...... It plays a vital role in the future of the sea liliang of the traverser. In the most dangerous situations, it can also be used to escape a way out.

The furniture, equipment, materials and tools available on board were dismantled for use on land. The unused compartments are sealed and locked, and a large ship is a complex shijie, and in the absence of enough manpower to take care of it, there are not many blind spots that cannot be seen.

For the Admiralty, the comfort and convenience of this ship is incomparable on land. Although generators have been limited to meet the most basic energy needs, they are still more than enough to supply electricity for office and domestic life. The marine high-power radio can easily contact all the vessels going to sea. The ship has comfortable bedrooms, separate toilets, and a well-equipped kitchen, which is different from the vast number of people who eat salted fish, smoked fish, and dried fish all day long, and there is a cold storage on the ship, and you can eat fresh fish in the ship's galley, which is more than enough to make sashimi. It also produces ice cubes continuously, all kinds of fruit shaved ice are not worth mentioning, and ice cream can be made with the milk powder brought. It is said that Mr. Bun, who favored the navy, visited the Fengcheng ship many times and praised the ice cream and sashimi.

The main task of the informal Admiralty is still mainly fishing. There were some fishermen living in Bopu, and after the traverser occupied here, they fled one after another, but after all, this is the traditional fishing ground in Lingao, and the fishermen who lost their fishing grounds fell into the point of near bankruptcy, so Zuihou had to negotiate with the traversers by the fishermen, and was willing to pay a part of the fishing products in exchange for the convenience of fishing here. The traversers agreed to this request: they could reduce the use of fishing boats and reduce the consumption of diesel and motorcycle-hours. The two sides reached a fishing agreement, the fishing boat's catch in the area around Bopu is divided into 2:8, and the fishermen have the right to buy the fish according to the purchase price of the fishing pen, and the crosser has the right to pay by a variety of means: materials, grain, commodities, and money. At the same time, the traverser's fishing boat can still fish on its own.

Soon, this fishing supremacy extended to all fishing boats fishing in the area, and any fishing boat willing to follow this rule had to go to Bopu to receive a red pennant as a mark. In order to ensure the implementation of this policy, the Navy dispatches a fishing vessel to patrol the fishing area every day, fishing on the one hand and on the other hand to supervise the fishing. The first is to ensure that no fishing vessel has concealed its production and is transported by sea, and the second is to expel vessels without flags.

"We're fishing tyrants now." Chen Haiyang stood on the slipway of the "Fishing No. 1" boat, glanced at the fishing boats operating in the surrounding waters, and remembered the image of the fishing tyrant in the comic book he saw when he was a child. At that time, the young hearts were aroused with extreme disgust and hatred for this unjust system, and they also dimly planted the worship of the People's Liberation Army. This was probably the original motivation for him to become a naval officer in the future.

At this time, he was defending this unjust system, and he was one of the initiators of this system. Shijie is just that amazing sometimes.

"What's wrong with Yuba? The fish yield has been rising again and again, and Wu Nanhai has shut up! If this continues, it is only a matter of time before our Navy is recognized. Li Di stood beside him happily, without any guilt at all -- this fat man who was born as an electronic engineer had been a self-proclaimed naval engineer after he had been infiltrated by the Admiralty for nothing, and every day he was chattering and banging in a shed, and he did not show it to anyone, in fact, everyone knew that it was a small steam engine -- a steam engine kit bought from abroad, but this machine has not been in normal operation since it came ashore.

Chen Haiyang did not continue the topic. Since D-Day, utilitarianism has basically prevailed among the traversers, regardless of their political tendencies, and what is good for the traversers is good - right and wrong are largely determined by where the ass sits.

In the distance, a large fishing boat is spreading its canopy and heading west, this is "Deng Ying Chau", which is carrying out its third maritime mission. Since its first trip to Guangzhou, the ship has hardly stopped, bringing back from Guangzhou a large number of supplies urgently needed by the industrial sector. Yu 1 is responsible for protecting it in the waters around Bopu, but it is up to them to go any further. Chen Haiyang sighed: No matter how modern the navy without a material foundation is, it will still have a limited role.

"Attention! 3 nautical miles ahead, three large fishing boats were found, without flags! Lookout Le Lin suddenly shouted. He is a Hong Kong native, an avid military enthusiast, especially the navy, and wears a civilian version of the U.S. Navy uniform every day after arriving in the navy.

"Turn the rudder, heading 120. Forward two, lean on. Chen Haiyang issued an order, and Yu No. 1, which was originally running on a slow train, turned over the bow of the boat and headed towards the fishing boat.

This kind of raid used to be almost several times a day, as fishing boats continued to be confiscated, and the fishing boats without flags became fewer and fewer, almost extinct.

"Sound the battle alarm and prepare to jump to the gang for inspection!"

As the ship's alarm bell sounded, more than 30 people on the fishing boat quickly took their positions, donning steel helmets and fireproof combat uniforms -- arson was a common means of attack in naval warfare along China's coast in this era. Weapons ready. The Fisherman 1 did not have heavy weapons such as artillery, and the most basic firepower was to rely on sailors to fire a volley from SKS rifles. Recently, however, there has been a slight improvement, and although the Ministry of Industry lacks metal materials, there are still a lot of things like wood, bamboo, rattan, and animal skins. In addition, Lin Shenhe, who claims to have played with all weapons except the atomic bomb, joined in, and soon copied several Ballistas according to the data

The so-called Ballista is the most successful large mechanical crossbow in ancient Rome, and it is also the most famous mechanical crossbow on the shijie, strictly speaking, it cannot be regarded as a crossbow, its firing mechanism is different from the crossbow, and the firing potential energy is no longer stored in the bow body, but accumulated in the twisted clockwork on both sides. Nicknamed the shieldpiercer, Ballista fires arrows that can easily pierce through any known shield or armor. A qualified Ballista has a lethal range of up to 500 meters, and can penetrate a homogeneous plank about two inches thick within 200 meters. And it can fire a variety of weapons, including arrows, javelins, stone bullets, incendiary bombs, and more. In its heyday, the Roman army was armed with more than 50 Ballistas per legion.

The mechanical crossbow used by the Crossing Navy is structurally the same as the Ballista of the ancient Roman era, and even a little inferior - the most hode Ballista of ancient Rome uses a lot of steel and bronze components, and is not as stingy as the Crossing Public, so this Ballista is a bit more bulky than the real original. A little more advanced is that it has a 360-degree rotating turntable with a low gun profile that gives the shooter some basic protection.

Yu 1 was fitted with two such mechanical crossbows, one on the fore and one on the fore and one on the fore deck. Several shiyan shots by the Navy on the surface of the sea proved that if you fire at 500 meters, whether you can hit or not depends entirely on luck, and it is much better to hit at about 200 meters.

Fortunately, the armament of the ships of various countries on the coastal waters of China in this era is not very sophisticated, as long as the navy is not hot-headed and ready to rely on mechanical crossbows to dominate the sea frontier, it is still possible to fight small groups of pirates near the shore and scare down merchant and fishing boats. After all, they had more ammunition than the Romans.

"Prepare the No. 2 bomb!" The gunslinger gave the command.

"No. 2 bomb ready!" A large firecracker-like thing was loaded with a mechanical crossbow.

Seeing Yu 1 approaching, the three fishing boats turned their sails in a panic, as if preparing to flee, and the loudspeakers on the fishing boats began to play the pre-recorded recordings of Haode in a variety of dialects and Mandarin: ordering them to immediately lower their sails and be inspected.

After the recording was played, the sails on the fishing boat were all down, and some people were running around in a panic between the deck cabins.

"Prepare to jump on the boat."

This was already something they knew very well, and the jumpers put on life jackets, each with a pistol and a machete, and stood on the side of the boat, waiting for orders.

"Let's jump." With an order, the five members of the team jumped over the side of the ship in turn and landed on the opposite deck, and before they could stand firm, the rumbling sound of cannon was heard in their ears.
