Chapter 228: The Imperial Navy's live-fire drill

Dengzhou Military Port must hold naval exercises every 20 August, which has been a common practice for many years.

They conducted public military exercises in the sea near the Dengzhou Military Port, and they were allowed to be watched by others at will.

Admiral Minister Guo Beyu once said: "Even if they are allowed to watch on the ship, they will not be able to imitate the weapons of the Imperial Navy of the Federation...... Therefore, there is no need to secretly engage in closed military exercises like army military exercises. ”

After hearing this, War Minister Bowe laughed and said, "Where am I afraid that others will learn? It's just that I'm afraid that a stray bullet will hurt someone...... They looked out dozens of miles of obstacles on the sea, and of course they were not afraid of stray bullets. ”

In any case, Navy Minister Guo Beyu demanded that his navy should have an open mind like the sea, have the sea in his heart, and not be as arrogant as a certain branch of the military to calculate and calculate.

Therefore, the tactics designed by his Admiralty are all tactics of holding high and fighting high...... In fact, there are two basic tactics for capital ships: a line of vertical advance and a line of horizontal push.

Of course, their weaponry also supports this style of play.

The tactics of the warships under the capital ship are varied: the Goose Array, the Plum Blossom Array, the Twin Star Array, and so on.

The military exercise was not all about the tactics of naval warfare...... In the meantime, there are also maritime cooperation technologies such as rescue, beaching, captivity, and emergency transportation.

Due to the large scale and variety of military exercises, the Navy's military exercises generally take three days.

In fact, this is much shorter than the 10-day calculation of army exercises.

Army Secretary David Bowie has said that the reason why their army takes so long is because there are so many types of environments on land.

In the wild, there are tropical rainforests, plains, mountains and deserts; There are sieges, street battles, and indoor battles in the city.

The Army will always play more than the Navy...... Even if they make it to Europe, they still need the same style of play there as they do here...... How boring it is.

Navy Minister Guo Beyu didn't bother to pay attention to him after hearing it, what does the Imperial Navy want? It's absolute victory and absolute control!

There is no need for this scheme or that calculation......

The Imperial Navy didn't care that other countries sent people to watch, they just came if they wanted, and directly equated them with ordinary spectators...... There is no kung fu to send someone to accompany you, everything is up to you to see.

Therefore, on the 20th of August every year, people from the Great Song Dynasty, Japan, Goryeo, and even Champa can come.

The area of the naval exercise is close to a mountain cliff...... I don't know who named that cliff mountain.

Yashan is about 150 meters above sea level, which happens to be a good place for the public to watch the military exercise.

Even the people who have good deeds can make a small profit by taking up a good place on the cliff mountain the night before and selling it to the latecomers.

Li Tingzhi and Lu Xiufu had already arrived on Yashan Mountain very early, but all the good places suitable for watching were occupied.

Fortunately, there are still people here who hold up signs to sell look-and-see points, they don't think about it, they don't look at the price, they just ask for the best place.

In fact, the most expensive place is only a few dozen pieces of money.

The man who sold what he thought was a high price was named Wu Dalang, a short man, about 1.2 meters, and about 30 years old...... He took the money and left happily.

When someone is happy with a small windfall, that person is actually poor.

Wu Dalang got up in the middle of the night, ran to the cliff mountain to seize a good place, and waited until the early morning to sell it, and then went home to engage in his old business, selling cooking cakes.

He was overjoyed along the way, and the more good things like this, the better...... If he does not benefit from military exercises, he will not care about military exercises and military exercises.

What's the use of caring about the Imperial Navy?

Can you help him sell one more biscuit?

Can he take out more of his usual money and go home to his wife Pan Jinlian?!

Of course, if you can conduct military exercises every day, let him sell fifty yuan bills back...... He will go to the temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha to thank him!

No one cares what a short man thinks, and everyone who can go up to the cliff mountain is all concerned about the sea.

Li Tingzhi and Lu Xiufu took out a telescope together to observe the sea conditions below Yashan.

At that time, after the production of monoculars produced on the island of Liuqiu increased significantly, they were freely sold, regardless of whether they were military or civilian...... You can buy it with money.

So, like them, there are a lot of people who are watching with binoculars.

At this time, a strong wind blew on the sea, and the layers of waves rolled and surged, and then slammed into the cliff wall, knocking out countless white splashes.

The sound of the waves is endless.

Li Tingzhi knows the algorithm of flow-seeking wind power...... At this time, there are about six or seven winds.

About three miles out of the sea was a fleet of dilapidated target ships, all of them presumably anchored, only tossing and falling on the surface of the sea without moving.

Dengzhou's capital ships appeared, and I saw twelve five-masted battleships sailing down the wind in a line-shaped array, and I could feel the momentum from a distance!

The people on the cliff mountain cheered...... Those who could cheer must be citizens of the Federal Empire, and they must be proud of this momentum in their hearts.

Li Tingzhi and Lu Xiufu have been watching calmly, and they only sigh in their hearts that the strength of this imperial navy is strong.

They were just some overseas refugees before, how could they develop like this in more than 20 years?!

I have been in the Song Dynasty for more than 200 years, and the navy is not as good as them......

There were also people of other races, who also calmly held up their binoculars and watched, unmoved by the cheers around them.

When the main fleet passed by the row of target ships, it suddenly saw a flash of fire on the body of the battleship led by it, and a puff of white smoke came out, and then a large red flame flashed from the hull of a target ship!

It was only then that the sound of artillery was heard...... Oh my God, their shells are flowering shells!

Li Tingzhi was shocked in his heart, he had already heard that there was a kind of cannonball in the Imperial Navy called the Blossom Shell...... But I can't imagine how powerful it will be...... Seeing it today, it really surprised him, it turned out to be so powerful!

The target ship seemed to be a thousand-stone ship, but after a shot, it tilted directly on the sea!

An even more terrifying situation appeared, less than ten seconds after the first shot, dozens of fires flashed directly on the body of the first capital battleship, spewing out dozens of puffs of white smoke, directly smashing the target ship into pieces!

Lu Xiufu saw such a scene for the first time in his life, and he said dumbfoundedly: "That five-masted capital ship can sink all the target ships...... They didn't even use the flowering bomb again......"

Li Tingzhi put down the monocular with a heavy heart...... Really, there are no sea ships in the world that can compete with it, and he estimates that the battle fleet should be a hundred feet away from the target ship...... A hundred feet away, you can hit the first shot, although the later shells are not flowering shells, but there are very few misses......

There are all kinds of tastes in his heart.

Kim Jong-sik, the general of the Goryeo Kingdom, sat in a place with a parasol, and after watching the first shelling, he put the binoculars in his hand on the table, pinched the bridge of his nose and did not make a sound, ignoring the excited people around him.

I really didn't expect that a new type of artillery appeared in the navy of the Federal Empire...... The artillery bombardment from 200 meters away is so accurate, and the artillery of the Korean Navy can only show its power within 50 meters!

Kim Jong-sik, the general of Goryeo, squinted at the Japanese navy not far away, and comforted himself in his heart that there were at least hundreds of artillery pieces in the Goryeo Sea, and they only had a few dozen...... As long as the navy of Goryeo is stronger than the navy of Japan, it will be fine.
