Chapter 308: North Sea Fleet

Of course, although the technical content of this train is not high at the beginning, but not everyone can make it, from the beginning of the production, Liu Xia asked all the scientific and technological personnel not to leak the technical information. Otherwise, it will be punished as treason.

The train test is in full swing, and the people are running around to see the excitement, and the newspapers are overwhelmingly publishing news about this. Even the railway from Yanshi to Tiger Prison Pass began to be built.

"Lord, where is our railway going to be built in the end?" Luo Chengxian looked at Liu Xia with blank eyes, Liu Xia had not given him the plan yet, only asked him to build a railway from Luoyang's Tiger Prison, but Luo Chengxian obviously knew the huge potential of this train, and in his opinion, social travel in the future was likely to be replaced by trains.

Therefore, Luo Chengxian, as the person in charge of the railway company, naturally wanted Liu Xia's specific plan.

I saw Liu Xia smile slightly, stood up from his seat, walked to Luo Chengxian's side, and said with a light smile: "Where my Pingbei Army goes, the railway will be cultivated!" ”

When Luo Chengxian heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, if according to what Liu Xia said, when Liu Xia controlled the world, wouldn't the world have to build a railway?

"How great is the siege!"

"If it is to connect the south, wouldn't it be necessary to build a bridge over the Yangtze River?" Luo Chengxian didn't think about the idea of building a steel-concrete bridge over the Yangtze River at all, because he didn't dare to think about it. With today's industrial base, it is simply not enough to build a bridge over the Yangtze River.

"Isn't this too big, prince? What if you go to the edge of the Yangtze River? The Yangtze River is very wide. ”

Luo Chengxian looked at Liu Xia in disbelief at the moment, and when he looked up, what Luo Chengxian saw was Liu Xia's smile, and only stopped Liu Xia and said, "Don't be in a hurry at this time, we can take our time." When you build a railway, on the one hand, you can recruit some displaced people and let them build the railway, and we will take care of the food and pay for it. On the other hand, some people can also be selected from prisons for labor reform. If you do it, there is nothing in the world that cannot be done, let alone the Yangtze River, even the sea can conquer it! Liu Xia couldn't help but think of the Yangtze River Bridge in later generations, and his heart suddenly rose heroically.

Luo Chengxian was admired by Liu Xia's momentum, and at the same time, he secretly swore in his heart that he must work hard to solve all difficulties, so as to be worthy of Liu Xia's cultivation grace.

After a while, Liu Xia picked up a map from the table, which was a map of northern China, with several clear black lines drawn on it, and this black line was the train track that Liu Xia had drawn.

Immediately, Liu Xia handed over the map to Luo Chengxian and said, "This is the plan made by this king for the future train track, you see, this is just for now." As for the future, it will continue to extend and increase on this basis. ”

After Luo Chengxian took it, he looked down and saw that the train tracks were all over most of the land currently controlled by the Pingbei Army.

"Benwang has notified the steel mill to increase production capacity and add several factories, so there is no need to worry about the lack of steel production for now."

Luo Chengxian was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "My subordinates understand that they will definitely live up to the expectations of the prince." I wonder which part of the railway the prince wants to build first? ”

Liu Xia said: "Start from Luoyang first, go to Longmen, Zhengzhou, and then go north, so that it will be much easier for us to transport materials, and the logistics will also be guaranteed." Don't worry too much about the slow logistics when dealing with the Tartars. ”

When Luo Chengxian heard this, he frowned and said, "But, Lord Wang, there is the Yellow River in the north, how can this cross the Yellow River?" "Although the Yellow River is slightly better than the Yangtze River, after all, there is a dry season every year, and the water level of the river is not high. But it's not easy to build a bridge.

Liu Xia frowned and said, "Doesn't this king have a cement factory?" With the cement and sand just entered, you can build very strong stone slabs, and you wait until the dry season to slowly build a stone bridge and train tracks pass over it. ”

"Yes!"

At the same time that the train became the star of the people, the warship factory in Jiaozhou also built the first warship at this moment, this battleship was covered in steel armor, but it was only about 20 zhang in size, and it was equipped with a steam engine, which could be mechanically driven and did not need to use manpower.

At this moment, Yu Mingjun has already led the 5,000 water division to Jiaozhou, and Jiaozhou has already established a military port and military training base, Yu Mingjun is also a half-baked person for water warfare, but he is the only one in the entire army who knows a little knowledge of water warfare, and he has to be the leader.

Although the current strength is only 5,000 and a guard of soldiers and horses, his level is not low, and he is already the highest-level Yue cavalry general.

"The sailor is mighty! The sailor is mighty! Kill, kill, kill!! ”

On the school field, there was a shout of killing, these 5,000 people have veterans and recruits, but the same thing is that they are all very good people with good water nature. They were selected from the various armies. They come from **** and gather from all directions.

If a new army wants to win the war, it must have a strong cohesion, so the first thing Yu Mingjun needs to solve now is the cohesion of the army.

Only when these recruits are fully integrated into this new army establishment can cohesion be generated. Some of these soldiers may be from the Suzaku Legion, some may be from the White Tiger Legion, some may be from the Iron Lion Legion, and some may be from the Pro-Guard Brigade. They came from different places, and they must have a lot of nostalgia for the old troops, but they must be out of place for the new troops at the beginning.

"We are the brave White Shark Guard, the Eagle on the water, and the invincible warriors! Any enemy will be reduced to ashes in our hands! The sea will be conquered by us! ”

On the opposite side of the school field is the endless turquoise sea, the waves are constantly lapping against the reefs along the coast, and seagulls are flying in flocks from the sky. I was shaken away by the loud shouts from the school grounds.

"White Shark Guard! White Shark Guard! ”

According to the establishment, the naval force is the North Sea Fleet, in which the strength of three guards is formed, and at present, Liu Xia is only equipped with the strength of one guard. This title is the White Shark Guard, the Great White Shark is synonymous with ferocity, and they are the overlords of the sea!

At this time, a personal soldier walked over from outside the school yard, walked to Yu Mingjun's side, and said: "General Hui, there is news from the shipyard that the first battleship has been examined and can go to sea, let the general send a few soldiers to the sea for further testing!" ”

"Good!" Yu Mingjun's face was full of joy.

These days, Yu Mingjun has only found some small wars, and the broken fishing boat is used as a warship for training, and its combat capability can be imagined. Without some good warships, how can you become a naval army? Therefore, the launch of this first battleship is of great significance to Yu Mingjun, and it is also of great significance to the current Pingbei Army, which is the world's first steel giant ship they built, and it also relies on steam engines to sail.

"Good! Let's go, General Ben will go and see for himself. ”

After that, Yu Mingjun stopped the training and led a battalion of soldiers to the shipyard. The shipyard is not far from the school yard, both are in the same area, because the sailor also has a duty, that is, to protect the shipyard here and the steel mill not far away, after all, this is the weak area of the Pingbei Army, and it is inevitable that some emergencies will not occur.

Soon, Yu Mingjun and his entourage came to the shipyard, the person in charge of the shipyard is smiling and greeting Yu Mingjun's arrival, the director of the shipyard is also according to the military rank, the director of the shipyard is the level of Yangwu School, not high, much lower than Yu Mingjun. The shipyard is also under the jurisdiction of the Logistics Division.

"I've met General Yu."

"Lord Qian is polite."

"General Please!"

"Lord Qian, please!"

Soon, everyone came to the steel-armored giant, although this warship was more drab and simple than those of later generations, but it was undoubtedly the most advanced in this era. made the Yu Mingjun happy.

"Good! This warship is really good. Yu Mingjun looked at the steel-armored giant ship and shouted.

"This time, Lord Qian is here, and this warship is officially accepted by our North Sea Fleet. I wonder when the rest of Lord Qian's warships will be delivered to us? Yu Mingjun asked eagerly, after all, a fleet can't have only one warship. Nor can a single warship form an invincible fleet.
