The three ocean-going fleets under the Daheng Unified Army Fleet have a total of more than 20 ocean-going warships, many of which are armored ships with waterline armor belts.

The Daheng Unification Army Navy is continuing to upgrade the firepower of these old warships and replace them with breech-loading rifled guns.

After all, it is much faster and easier to simply change the rear-loading guns than to build a new battleship.

Not to mention that there are cutting-edge warships such as the Pingbo and Luohai.

Not to mention completely suppressing the naval forces of the seven northern states, but it is definitely possible to maintain the balance and even gain a certain advantage.

What's more, judging from the situation of the Daheng Unification War, the war on land is the one that can really determine the direction of the war between the North and the South, and although the naval war has an impact, the actual impact is not great.

After all, Daheng is not an island country, but a continental country, more strictly speaking, a country that occupies most of the central continent, and its civil war must be dominated by ground war.

But if it is a foreign war, then it will be a naval battle.

Just like the Heng Ao War of that year, the war between the Great Heng Empire and the Orissa Empire was dominated by naval duels in the early stage, when the huge fleet of sail battleships of the Daheng Navy crushed the Orissa Empire with an absolute advantage and became the overlord of the Endless Sea, so as to escort the army to land on the Orissa Empire and maintain the subsequent supply lines......

It's a pity that at that time, many countries in the southern continent stood behind the Orissa Empire to support, openly and secretly sent reinforcements to support all kinds of support, and the Daheng Army came across the sea to fight more difficult, and it seemed to have won a continuous victory on the battlefield, but in the end it was dragged alive and collapsed.

Although the results of the Hengao War were not good, it still fully proved the importance of the navy.

If Daheng's navy could not defeat the Orissa navy and suppress the navies of other southern continent countries, it would not be able to cover the landing of the army and maintain the subsequent sea supply lines.

If the Orissa Navy is strong enough, it will not be invaded by Daheng at all, and most of the country will be devastated by the war.

The navy is very important to the contemporary Blue Star States!

Because although the five continents are blocked by the sea, the distance is not far, such as the central continent and the southern continent, there is an endless strait separated from each other, and the width of this strait is only a few tens of kilometers......

The other continents, although far away, are not far away, and they can all be connected to each other, and even more than a thousand years ago, people began to know that they can be connected to each other, and even know that the planet in which they live is round......

It's just that at that time, there were many speculations, and there were many doubts, until more than 500 years ago, Jiang Yi, a Daheng person, made many trips around the world, not only proved that the blue star is round, but also according to the coastal terrain data accumulated by the continents accumulated by his years of sailing, etc., clearly depicted the global map of the blue star, so that people have a clearer understanding and judgment of the five continents of the blue star.

(PS Thanks to the book friend Jiang Yi for the various worlds and Daheng maps, which can be seen in the book friend group: 31779983)

Since ancient times, the sea connection on the Blue Star has been very close, and what does this mean?

This means cultural exchange, business exchange, and also war!

Blue Star has often seen transcontinental wars in its history, just like the Heng Olympic War.

And this is even more proof of the importance of the navy.

Blue Star is a big and small country, as long as it is a coastal country, most of them will attach importance to the navy.

Of course, attention may not necessarily be able to develop, even in the sail era, the navy is the exclusive domain of the coastal powers, and in the past, it was very expensive to build a sail battleship.

In the last twenty or thirty years, in the era of steam and steel warships, warships have become more expensive, a 10,000-ton ironclad ship is millions of constant yuan at every turn, even if it is a steam warship of several thousand tons, it is hundreds of thousands or even millions.

Moreover, in the current era of steam and steel warships, this warship is not only expensive to build, but also expensive to maintain, and at the same time, the demand for industrial technology has also increased significantly.

In the era of sail battleships, there were many countries that could build sail battleships, but now in the era of steam steel battleships, there are not many countries that can build steam steel battleships.

As for the capital ships that can build 10,000-ton ironclad ships, there are now only a dozen countries left, so that many countries that cannot build warships on their own are all over the world.

The Orr Kingdom is a prime example!

This country located in the southeast of the southern continent, with a small population and a small land area, is rich in gold, and in order to protect itself, it has always been all over the world to buy all kinds of advanced equipment and weapons, and ironclad ships are the top priority.

After purchasing the Orr Kingdom, they placed a new order with Lin Ziran, preparing to order another 10,000-ton ironclad ship, two medium-tonnage armored ships, and a number of cruisers.

People are preparing to change the entire navy!

A small country in the Orr Kingdom knows how to spend a lot of money to maintain an advanced large-scale navy, and other countries are no exception.

Although Lin Ziran has not completely unified Daheng, it is a matter of time before he unifies Daheng, so from now on, he has actually considered Daheng's naval construction.

The Unification is a product of this kind of thinking!

After returning from the naval base, Lin Ziran summoned the admirals many times, and in the process of summoning the admirals, he put forward some of his own opinions on these admirals many times, and many of the things he said were actually laymen, most of them were some common sense on the earth.

But even common sense is enough to bring a great positive effect to these admirals.

After all, many contemporary basic sciences are already relatively perfect, so even 10,000-ton ironclad ships can be made, and the overall technology is not as bad as that.

The basic technology is already there, the difference is just an idea, an idea, such as steel breech-loading rifled guns, machine guns, etc., all belong to this type.

The same is true for the navy, many of the things Lin Ziran told them are not of practical significance, but they can bring some inspiration to these admirals!

And that's enough.

Compared with the navy, Lin Ziran only gave some suggestions and inspiration, and if there was relatively little practical support for others, Lin Ziran on the army's side supported and developed hand-in-hand.

After returning to Luo Haicheng, he asked all departments of the Army Command to discuss and analyze the wars of the past year, continue to promote and develop the good ones, and improve the bad ones.

Constantly summarize, ask questions, and then try to solve problems, so as to improve the overall combat effectiveness of the army!

After many discussions, many departments of the army unanimously agreed that the artillery firepower of the troops is still too weak and that it is necessary to further strengthen the artillery firepower of the army......

After seeing this conclusion, Lin Ziran directly threw the report into the trash!

Don't think that Lin Ziran doesn't know what they think, it's nothing more than blowing up all the way...... Just blow it up and you're done.

But if they can blow it all the way, Lin Ziran still needs them to discuss and summarize? He himself directly expanded the artillery unit and purchased more shells.

But industrial production capacity is limited, and this artillery costs money, and shells also cost money!

Blow it all the way through that unrealistic.

These army generals are now full of direct bombardment when they are indecided......

I don't want to waste even a little bit of brain cells and think of other ways!
