Gao Junshan moved from his villa in Bombay to live on the battleship "Jinling No. 1".

The structure of the "Jinling No. 1" battleship and the "Zheng He No. 1" battleship is roughly the same, with a front building and a back building, three large chimneys in the middle, three upper and lower two floors, 60 meters wide and 150 meters long, which is a super giant battleship of this era, 30 meters longer and 20 meters wider than "Zheng He No. 1".

Firepower: five 80-pounder guns on the foredeck; five 70-pounder secondary guns; On the aft deck was a group of twenty rapid-fire guns, firing 32-pound shells in unison; The gunwales were only arranged on the topmost deck, so as to avoid the entire battleship being filled with black smoke when the guns were fired, which affected the accuracy of the gunner's firing of the guns. There were a total of 80 guns on the left and right sides, including 9-pounder guns, 18-pounder guns, and 32-pounder guns, all of which were improved to be able to fire warheads with different functions.

The battleship's protection capabilities are also first-class, it is a steel giant, the amount of steel used is fifty percent more than that of the Zheng He class, there is an independent steam engine power generation system, and because of the transformer, electricity can be sent to every corner of the battleship.

The Jinling-class battleship is at full power, and with her sturdy hull, she can smash the battleships below the third level in Europe without firing guns, which shows the awesomeness of the armor of the Jinling-class battleship.

Gao Junshan boarded the brand-new "Jinling No. 1" battleship, and first came to the three-story cockpit, which is also called the command cabin, because the war room and the newspaper room are all located in the cockpit, and standing in front of the bridge with a bright and clean window, the vast sea is displayed in front of you.

There is a watchtower at the top of the cockpit, and the lookout is equipped with a super powerful searchlight.

There is a hall door at the back of the cockpit, which leads directly to the rest cabin at the back, which is one-third larger than the Zheng He class, and there are eight rest cabins on both sides of the long corridor, four rest cabins of equal size on each side, and the bathroom at the end of the corridor is the washing room, and the boiling water room is also in this place.

Although the corridor is not facing the window, the eight lamps hanging from the ceiling radiate dazzling light, illuminating the corridor brightly.

Gao Junshan walked into his rest cabin, this rest cabin is specially built for the emperor, very magnificent, wide double bed, exquisite bookcase, luxurious Taishi chair, bronzing marble case, wood all from Nanyang Nanmu, exquisite craftsmanship, reasonable furnishings, come to the cabin has a sense of home.

"Your Majesty, you sit on the Taishi's chair and rest for a while, and I'll go down to the second floor to get you food."

Li Derong, the guard officer, stood respectfully in the outer aisle, and he had already made a pot of tea for Gao Junshan.

Gao Junshan was looking out of the porthole, and when he heard Li Derong's voice, he turned to Li Derong and said, "I'm not hungry now, you can bring the food after you eat." ”

……

"Jinling No. 1" docked at Pier 5 in Mumbai, which was built under the command of Pan Zide, and the drawings were approved by Gao Junshan, especially the Mumbai wharf, which was completely built in accordance with the large international wharf, so it was able to dock 10,000-ton ships.

At present, there are several large ports in China such as Mumbai, Yangon, Manchester, Singapore, Chang'an, Bushehr, Cam Ranh Bay, Pingdo, Xiamen, Jilong, Vladivostok, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Tianjin, Yantai and so on.

At present, although only one 10,000-ton battleship has been launched, there are already three 10,000-ton ocean-going passenger ships and six 10,000-ton ocean-going freighters, shuttling through major ports.

The battleship "Jinling No. 1" had a crew of 12,000 people, including 1,500 sailors on board, 1,500 gunners on board, and 9,000 troops.

Gao Junshan mobilized a Zhenghe-class battleship and a Wuchang-class battleship at the same time to follow the action, and also mobilized five 5,000-ton steam engine cargo ships as supply ships.

Since the ships anchored in the port of Mumbai could not be withdrawn, and the ships required by Gao Junshan could be deployed along the way, the "Jinling No. 1" sailed out of the port of Mumbai without any escort.

The battleship was also equipped with five small speedboats, which were released and used as reconnaissance speedboats to travel in front of and behind the mothership.

Gao Junshan was followed to ascend the "Jinling No. 1" by Tian Ruilong, minister of agriculture, Guo Wenxiang, minister of rites, Duan Fuxing, minister of culture and education, Fu Yunlong, deputy director of the General Affairs Bureau, Jiang Shifang, deputy director of the Political Guidance Bureau, Tian Qiliang, deputy director of the Navy Department, Yao Yong, deputy director of the Military and Political Department, and Chen Wubin, director of Gao Junshan's radio secret.

After leaving Mumbai, Jinling No. 1 has been heading south.

The senior attachés led by Gao Junshan were all concentrated in the rest cabin on the third floor, and there were eight rest cabins on the third floor, Gao Junshan occupied one alone, captain Wang Wenliang occupied one, guard officer Li Derong occupied one, the chief officer Bai Chuan and the newspaper director Hu Zhixing were arranged in the rest cabin on the second floor, and the remaining four rest cabins were divided into eight dignitaries, including Tian Ruilong, Minister of Agriculture, and Guo Wenxiang, Minister of Rites, who lived in one room, Duan Fuxing, Minister of Culture and Education, and Chen Wubin, director of the newspaper secret, lived in one room. Tian Qiliang, deputy director of the Navy Department, and Yao Yong, deputy director of the Military Affairs Department, shared a room, while Fu Yunlong, deputy director of the General Affairs Bureau, and Jiang Shifang, deputy director of the Political Guidance Bureau, lived in the same room.

In the end, there was one room left as a backup.

When the battleship set sail, Gao Junshan held a short meeting in the war room, which was in the center of the command cabin, and a large nautical chart was hung on the wall of the war room, and the light of two spotlights hit the nautical chart on the wall.

Gao Junshan's senior attaché, who sat in two rows, stood in front of the nautical chart and presented the route map of the voyage.

After introducing the route that day, he pointed to the last stop of the voyage, Vladivostok, and said, "Vladivostok is our last stop, and we will ...... after we arrive in Vladivostok."

Gao Junshan paused, and all the dignitaries present were highly concentrated, waiting for the emperor to say where to go next.
