readx;?“ So according to you, it was a mistake for our fleet to assemble here? This time, Donghai City contacted several sea cities and organized such a large fleet, just because you think that Dongfang Port may not want to treat us as enemies and transfer them all back? The Fleet Commander couldn't help but knock on the table, "I don't doubt your feelings, but now this is a military operation, and it is likely to develop into a naval and land battle, I hope you can figure out our own situation, just to supply fresh water, we have to mobilize three or four water supply ships every day to supply water, and ...... additionally"

The commander was only halfway through his words when he was interrupted by the officer who insisted on making contact with Dongfang Harbor, and he asked with a sneer, "Your Excellency, Commander!" So I would like to ask if the freshwater supply ship is a problem that we solved on our own? As he spoke, he stood up and raised the glass mug on the table, "From this cup, to the fresh water inside, to the expensive perfumes, and even the cool oils, wind oil essences, which have been pouring into our fleet from Annam recently, which miracle medicines, are not provided by this group of senates in the port of the East?" We have been adrift at sea for hundreds of years, and we have never solved the problem of fresh water, and how many warships do we lose every year for fresh water? How many valuable officers were lost? Not to mention the warship we are on, even if it is in a city on the sea? In the same way, water boats are required to transport fresh water to the city once a month, and once the weather such as storms affect navigation, it is extremely difficult to even drink water, not to mention the water.

There was silence in the conference room for a while, and the man continued without mind, "My ship is the first ship to be equipped with a desalination system, and you have studied these desalination devices, but you don't even know what material they are made of. As a people of the sea, I'm sure all of you know what freshwater means at sea! One can go without eating, but one cannot go without drinking fresh water. Since these people of the Senate were able to create such a miraculous and ingenious fadilator, it can only be said that their attainments at sea will definitely not be lower than ours. ”

The person who spoke was none other than the captain of the USS Vilopolis, who had installed the first desalination system outside Minnesota a few months ago, and he held up a few coins and threw them on the table, "This is the one I traded gold with the so-called senators when I first met them. ”

"This is a silver coin...... someone picked one up and flicked it on the edge of the silver coin with his finger, and the silver coin made a crisp buzzing sound, "You exchange it for gold coins, isn't it too much of a loss?" ”

The naval officers laughed, but Miro didn't feel embarrassed at all, he just smiled incomprehensibly, "Although these silver coins are worth some, they are really not worth the price of gold coins, you must know that there is also a gold coin of the Principality of Macedonia." (Read the novel to update it as soon as possible)" Hearing his words, more naval officers let out a laugh.

"But you only see the value of the coin in terms of purchasing power, but you do not see the hidden value of the silver coin at all. If I had to say, these silver coins could be exchanged for ten hundred gold coins, and they would have this value! Miro slammed a punch on the table, and the punch instantly silenced the entire conference room.

"What do you mean by that?" The fleet commander walked over suspiciously, picked up one of the coins, and on it was a mouse with a pouting ass and a steering wheel, looking cute, he couldn't help but smile, "It's nothing more than a mouse, whistling and pulling the steering wheel, what's the ...... about this" Suddenly the fleet commander's voice stopped.

"That's right, just pull the steering wheel," Miro turned sideways and sat down at the conference table, looking at the fleet commander playfully, "Your Excellency Commander, you have been here in the Wu Dynasty for so many years, when have you ever seen a ship with a steering wheel on the Wu Dynasty?" Seeing the fleet commander frown thoughtfully, he smiled and looked around the entire conference room that had quickly cleared. The steering wheel is quicker and less laborious than the rudder, and the steering is much more precise, and we have been using it a lot since we were adrift at sea, except for the small boats on the big ships, even on the brigs. However, the fact that the steering wheel appeared on their silver coins can only explain one reason, that is, the ships where they came may have popularized the concept of the steering wheel in large numbers long ago. ”

Before the person next to him could react, Miro continued to talk, "Also, take a closer look at what's next to the steering wheel where the mouse is?" ”

At this time, several senior officers hurriedly came over and picked up the silver coins and examined them carefully, "This is ...... Window? ”

"That's right! Our steering wheels are generally on the tail floor, generally speaking, in order to have a wide view, often do not set up a room, and the operation of the platform is basically the norm in the sun and rain. But the ships of these patriarchs, even if they were driven by rats, had a special helmsman's room. This shows that their sailing conditions are much more comfortable than ours, and they have to sail some longer distance than us under the same long-distance conditions. Miro then smiled again, "Let's take a look at another silver coin." ”

The commander was no longer arrogant, and hurriedly picked up another silver coin, on which was a duck carrying a fire hammer in the grass, and the duck's expression was quite interesting, as if he was angry about something. "This ......," he hesitated, but asked firmly, "Captain Miro, I can't see it, you might as well tell me." ”

"First, do you see the clothes this duck is wearing? It's a vest, a vest is something that didn't exist at all in the Wu Dynasty, they like to wear robes and coats, even on hot days, even if it's poor, they wear short shirts, not this kind of vest. This vest is cleverly designed, you see, there are four pockets, all of which are within reach of the hand, and it is certainly not a hassle to carry things. I asked my tailor to make one in the style of this duck's waistcoat, and it felt perfect when I put it on, and it was very comfortable to put things in and wear it on a regular basis, and it didn't affect my movement in the slightest. I think it's a kind of hunting outfit. ”

"You mean this duck is hunting?" Someone laughed, but was immediately stopped by the officer next to him. The fleet commander was unmoved, just stared at Myro, waiting for his next words.

"This duck is hunting, and judging by its expressions and movements, it is obvious that it has not hit, and you can see that there seems to be clear smoke from the muzzle of the gun." Miro's words were quickly interrupted by the commander, "Talking about the point. ”

"The point? Oh yes, and secondly, this duck's musket, take a closer look! This is not an arquebus, you see, there is no long arquebus, and there is no ignition hole. So what was this musket fired with? As soon as Miro finished speaking, an officer below laughed, "It's just a duck, and you can't count the things on the coin." ”

"Hehe," Miro laughed, too, "do you think that even the waistcoat on the duck and the muzzle smoke will save you this little time to depict the arquebus?" ”

The Fleet Commander nodded, "That's right, Mr. Miro, you're right, if there is no arquebus on this pattern, it can only mean one thing, that is, there is no arquebus on the muskets of the people of the Eastern Harbor. ”

Miro nodded and continued, "Our muskets not only need arquebuses, they also need to be specially lit before the battle and extinguished in between battles. There are also requirements for the pot to be filled with propellant, if it is too much, it will cause the fire rope to be extinguished, and if it is too small, it is likely that it will not ignite the propellant. Moreover, carrying a long fire rope on your back is definitely not an easy task, especially when it rains, and it is simply impossible to fight. ”

"But we still have flintlock pistols!" Someone asked, and Miro nodded, and continued, "That's right, we have flintlock pistols, and with some modifications, they can also be fired in light rain, but what is the firing rate of flintlock pistols?" If you can't even reach three-fifths of the way, you'll probably think it's a big deal to pick up and fight again, but the problem is that the time it takes to wrench a hammer on the battlefield is likely to kill you. ”

Miro said and took out a document from the vest he was wearing outside his military uniform, "This is information from the spies of the Eastern Harbor, the army of the Senate, we can already call it an army, they have an army, a marine, a navy, and even an artillery unit, although their artillery has been changing varieties in the past few months, but it is certain that the spies have been mentioning in the report that the range of these guns is becoming longer and more accurate. Their army was originally armed with a musket called the Senate rifle, which was loaded in the same way as ours, with the barrel upright, the charge poured into it, and then pressed down before the projectile was released. But their projectile is not round, but pointed. According to the report of the spies lurking in the port of Champang, the same Senate rifle, the rifle used by the new army in the port of Champang, has a round warhead. In addition, the Senate rifles also did not have arquebuses and flints, as long as a thin copper plate called a fire cap was attached to the ignition hole, and the hammer fell on these fine copper plates, these rifles could be fired, and the rate of mute fire was only one out of a hundred rounds at most. ”

The officers below gasped in surprise, a rifle with such a high firing rate was simply incredible. "Don't be too surprised by this, I'm going to talk about the range of their weapons. The standard shooting training target in the Senate Army Drill Code is 200 meters, and the drill code says that the Senate rifle can fire at a target of 400 meters. Miro looked at the incomprehensible expressions of the officers below, and then remembered that they didn't have the concept of rice.

"Two hundred meters, in our unit, is ten chains, and the maximum distance that our artillery can hit is only within ten chains, and the accurate distance is only five to six chains. That is, before our artillery is within their range, they can already concentrate their fire on us. ”

"Miro!" The fleet commander stopped him, "Are you sure that the Senate rifle has a range of twenty chains?" ”

"I'm pretty sure, and according to the spies, they've now replaced it with a new musket that no longer needs to be upright, just a push lever under the butt. It is also possible to reach a speed of at least five rounds a minute. "I know that what I have said today can be said to be absolutely annihilating the prestige of my own people, but I cannot but say that if I do not say it, I will most likely fight a horrible enemy that we know nothing about. We are talking about an unprecedented force that is not showing its teeth purely because they are just getting started. ”

"Just starting out?" An officer almost jumped up, "We have such technology and strength just starting out, if we let them develop, is there still room for us to develop?" ”

"It was also the hardest choice for us. This is the reason why I do not wish to participate in direct action against the Senate. Even in the early days, they were so powerful. With these ships and marines and sailors that we have at our disposal, attacking the port of Vostok, defeat is assured. Miro continued, "So if you really want to attack the Eastern Harbor, then we can't attack it alone. You see, the location of Dongfang Port is on the territory of the Wu Dynasty, although it is in the southernmost part of the country and almost to the Kingdom of Annan, but it still belongs to the territory of the Wu Dynasty. With the situation that the emperor of the Wu Dynasty does not cut the land and does not make peace, as long as this matter is stabbed, he will definitely have to mobilize people to attack Dongfang Port, but this time will be relatively long. But as long as their governor decides to report this matter, we can help them send this report document to the capital through teleportation, so that the time can be expedited. Let them mobilize their troops as soon as possible and attack the port of Vostok. ”

"Then, you see, some time ago there was a rebellion in the port of Champa in Annam, and their new city lord Nguyen Minh Phuong specially sent an urgent document to Hue, describing that there was a rebellion in the port of Champang, and the rebels fled to the port of Dongfang with large families, and stopped at the border line of Annam after crossing the river. Then Annan will definitely take action. ”

"Annan, those pieces of waste! What else do you count on them? An officer sneered, "These wastes of Annan can't even defeat the gang of barbarians in Nicaea, and they can defeat the Senate that we don't dare to attack?" ”

At this time, even Miro himself laughed, "That's right, they don't dare, but if we want them to go, they have to go, otherwise they will have to compensate us for the war losses, and with the silver in the Annan treasury at this stage, they can't afford to pay at all." Then we can force them to attack Vostochny. In this way, Annam attacked from the south, and the Wu Dynasty attacked from the north, and our main fleet blocked the port, surrounded three and one of them, and let them escape from the west. In such a chaotic situation, as long as the troops of Annam and the Wu Dynasty are restrained from burning and looting, we can obtain those important technical materials and production equipment, therefore, for this reason, we must also contact Annam and the Wu Dynasty. ”

"In addition, we have another best strategy, which is to pretend to sympathize with them, help them escape from the sea, take advantage of the chaos to get on their ships, and when they go to sea, these people will not have a way to resist, after seizing the ships, everything on board is ours, they don't even have a place to escape, everything can only be decided by us." Miro said, picked up a piece of silver coin, looked at the big ship on the back of the silver coin that rode the wind and waves from the dawn, and said, "Including the steel giant, it will also be ours!" ”
