Yao Wenqi wrote in his notebook: "It is very good to use young people, they are full of vigor and do not think too much about it, they look serious when they set sail, but soon they put the sadness of parting behind them, and now the ship is full of cheerful atmosphere, and such morale is good for the voyage." ”

He wrote eloquently: "My southeastern government requires the people to swim in elementary school and train on ships when they are in junior high school, which is very beneficial to replenishing sailors, and has received good results......

He sat on the aft staircase of the cruiser and wrote, and when he finished writing, he complained to Hong Xiguan: "I have never seen a table on the open deck of a warship, only a chair!" ”

"Do you see General Cheng (half-human Cheng Yu) sitting?" Hong Xiguan hurriedly asked.

"It's him, and everyone else can't sit!" Yao Wenqi continued: "The rules set by the founding monarch have always been followed by the officers of our Southeast Fleet, officers cannot sit, soldiers can sit on the deck, and sitting on ladders like me is not allowed for officers, and may be a source of our victory. ”

"The cruiser is very large, and many of the facilities have changed compared to the plywood ship of the red hairy fan, such as the compass bridge, which has never been done before."

The compass bridge is a new concept, it includes a steering wheel, a compass box, the use of an arc-shaped small compartment to seal this small area, the small compartment is equipped with glass windows around the roof, the officer can command inside, the helmsman in the steer, and finally live a life on duty that is not afraid of the sun and wind and waves!

In the past, the battle stations of the helmsmen and officers were in the open air, and it was extremely difficult to brave the wind and rain to operate the ship when the weather and sea conditions were bad.

Slowly, the glass windows of those days were a luxury object, and many people did not know that the arc shape could withstand the wind and waves well, which was a pioneering achievement in the southeast province, and was completed under the kind guidance of the leader, who took into account the large winds and waves of the voyage, and gave this treatment to the officers and helmsmen, and even included manual wipers!

Yao Wenqi wrote about what he had seen, and at noon, he had lunch with the captain and senior officers in the officer's cafeteria.

The officer's canteen is not very big, but the environment is much better than that of the soldiers, the officers of the Southeast Navy are the elite of society, not only have a good salary, but also enjoy a quite superior life on the ship, the officers in the tail building with a view, with exquisite silver and copper tableware---- the officer's canteen on the battleship is definitely made of silver tableware, beautifully decorated, in the words of Chen Xinji, the prime minister of the Southeast Prefecture, "more beautiful than my restaurant"!

And the sailors can only be in the lower deck without seeing the light of day, lighting oil lamps, living in hammocks, eating rough food with wooden dishes--- not being able to open the gun door casually to get light, you must know that there is no wind and waves on the sea, and the sea water is poured in, regardless of the danger of the ship sinking, wet the inside, everyone has fun!

At that time, glass portholes were extravagant, and the southeastern battleships had glass portholes, which were also rare.

The soldiers of the Southeast Fleet were more fortunate than most of their peers, and their boss was very concerned about their food, and when they got up in the morning, they boiled Poria old fire duck soup, until the meat was rotten, and the soup was sweet, and the officers and men had a share, but the soldiers had a bowl of soup per person, and the officers doubled or more.

Then there was a freshly baked stir-fry, and the soldiers began to eat dry and cold food, whether it was soft bread and dried beef that had been brought to the ship this morning, and it was still quite a good thing to send it in hot soup.

The ship's fuel was limited and could not provide hot food to all officers and men, and sometimes some hot food was provided, and the cooks used more fuel to provide hot food when they were scheduled to resupply the port as soon as they were scheduled to arrive.

After a hearty dinner, his stomach was very full, and his food has been very good since then, he was a little worried, but found that eating on a warship was a pleasant program, so he no longer controlled his appetite, and ate happily!

Yao Wenqi and his roommate friend Tao Yuanzao returned to their small room, where only two small beds and a desk were placed, and the luggage was placed under the bed, but they were satisfied, and it was jealous to have a bed on a warship!

The two were not in a hurry to rest, Yao Wenqi sorted out his information, he used a fountain pen to write, the design details on the warship were good, the ink bottle was fixed, and everything had a fixed structure.

Tao Yuanzao is close to Yao Wenqi in age, and he is taking care of his two pistols and a double-barreled troll!

Using a long rod cotton wick to dip oil and moisten the musket, he did it very meticulously and patiently, Yao Wenqi looked at Tao Yuanzao's sturdy head, and couldn't help but ask: "Are you really a scientist?" Ever been a soldier before? Look at how skilled you are. ”

"No, I'm not a soldier." Seeing Yao Wenqi's puzzled gaze, Tao Yuanzao smiled: "I like to swim, and I often dive into the sea to salvage specimens!" ”

"You volunteered?" Yao Wenqi asked.

"Yes, the leader said how big the world is, I want to see it. When I was about twenty years old, the leader introduced biology in school, and I was so interested that I joined the bandwagon. Tao Yuanzao took the initiative to introduce: "I teach at Southeast University, so that I can not go to the front line to fight." ”

The Southeastern Army implements a system of compulsory military service for all employees, and all male subjects over the age of 16 and under 60 have the obligation to go into battle to serve as soldiers.

However, unless it is the last moment, the Southeastern Army will not recruit university lecturers to fight!

This is an exempted class that respects knowledge, and their heads are more important than shooting.

Of course, if you want to join this class, you must have a superior mind.

Yao Wenqi said admiringly: "You are so smart! “

He shook his head and said: "I'm miserable, I often go to the front line to interview, I've been to Maluku (Spice Islands) as far as I go, our army did a good job, besieged an island, captured and sold all the natives, I've seen a soldier throw a natives alive into a burning crater, but I can't write!" ”

Those natives have lived on that island for generations, and the southeast military island has erected a stone monument, and it has become the territory of the Chinese, and the original owner has been wiped out!

In terms of propaganda, the Southeast Army will always be a radiant image, and its dirtiness in private will not be known to the world.

The root cause lies in Yan Dashao, and the elimination of the natives of Nanyang is an established policy, and sanctimonious guys like Sun Chengzong and Chen Xinji help to abuse.

"We have a population of five million, Taiwan has a million people, and Southeast Asia has a population of four million, how long has it been?!" Tao Yuanzao said with emotion.

"Look, in ten years, Southeast Asia will forever belong to us Chinese!" Yao Wenqi is well-informed and knows how much money the Southeast Government has made, and he said: "The most promising ones now are the children's hospital and kindergarten!" ”

Tao Yuanzao nodded knowingly, and he asked, "Do you know how to use a gun?" ”

"Not really." Yao Wenqi was frank and authentic.

Tao Yuanzao said: "You'd better learn more, we sail away, and when we encounter the enemy, everyone has to go into battle!" ”

"Okay!" Yao Wenqi agreed: "You teach me!" ”

……

The long-distance fleet, compared to the past, does not spend much time on training, and has more free time, such as firearms training is all simulated, after all, it takes time to replenish, and they have to hurry.

They arrived at the port of Johor in the Malay Peninsula four days later, and they did not enter the port and received supplies directly outside the port.

Looking over from the ship, Yao Wenqi found that the port of Johor was submerged in a flag of the southeast province, and the royal flag of the Johor royal family was not conspicuous in the sea of arrogant flags of those southeast provinces!
