The sea breeze is cold, and on the high platform among the flags,

I wrapped my arms around the waist of the Maiden Mae Mei Mig, and with her I smashed a heavy bottle onto the pointed bow of the sliding dock, splashing a puddle of debris and flowing foam.

Then I saw the huge bow of the ship with ribbons slowly raised, and slowly slid into the surging water along the track that was lifted by the hydraulic section by section.

With a huge inertia and weight, it was heavy and swaying, and after splashing and waves, it floated steadily on the water.

After a series of movements of the busy and nervous handling of the sails, the crew slowly turned their heads on the floating sea, and continued to accelerate in the puffed sails, cleaving the waves and driving away.

The crowd of spectators on the left and right suddenly danced and danced, and a large number of cheers and shouts sounded, and the gulls and birds that gathered on the buildings in the port area were so startled that they continued to hover over the harbor enthusiastically, and did not dare to fall for a long time.

And the girl with her little face red from the sun also took my hand and screamed and jumped, and let out some kind of exclamation and scream unwillingly, obviously infected by this atmosphere.

Today, the launch of the first ship of the new ship Patrol II, this is also the third type of ship designed and improved and put into production by Huaidong locally, and it is also the largest ship type that Huaidong can build by itself.

In the previous two types of locally designed and self-produced ships, one was a specialized marine fishery fishing vessel improved from a large-capacity cargo ship, so it was modified for long-distance voyages in the open sea, and could meet the needs of timely hunting and simple segmentation and processing when encountering whales in the open sea;

The other is to meet the needs of inland water network shipping and the connection between offshore areas, and the design of power vehicles and ships belong to the category of special vessels.

Only this Coast Patrol series, which is a general-purpose vessel, has a full load of nearly 1,000 materials. The main purpose is to be navigable along the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea, but it is not enough to encounter the wind, waves and sea conditions in the deep-sea area farther away.

The development direction of the design is to replace and supplement the armed warships that may gradually age and retire in the future, as well as the Flying Fish, Sea Falcon and Sea Loach.

One of the subsequent forces and basic criteria of the surface combat sequence, while playing various roles for a long time. According to the actual situation and needs, different modifications will be developed one after another;

For example, the light and fast type for anti-smuggling and patrol prohibition; Stable type based on armed transportation; enhanced for shelling and naval warfare; rearmament of fire suppression and support on the opposite shore; and a general-purpose standard type that simplifies the structure and equipment for civilian use.

Even if it enters inland waterways, it has a certain ability to sustain itself.

Of course, because of the upper limit of the displacement loading capacity and the sail thrust ratio, the single side can only be equipped with 16 to 22 single and double-deck row guns, depending on the caliber of the ship's guns, similar to the frigate class that was not classified in the later sail era.

However, as long as it is not directly with the famous Liangdao Naval Division Fleet of the Southern Dynasty, the three or five clusters formed by this configuration are used to expel and attack, and crush the sea surface of this generation, most of the forces and existences are more than enough.

What is limited is only the capacity of specific shipbuilding and supporting industries, as well as the scope of activities under the corresponding logistical support. After all, Huaidong's current sphere of influence on the sea is only the inner circle of the Bohai Sea and some coastal areas of the Yellow Sea.

But in any case, it is one step closer to the manly plot of the cannon giant ship in my mind.

The cost of building such an experimental prototype of such a wide and pointed bottom, a thick keel reinforced with castings, a multi-plate structure, a multi-section duplex watertight cabin, and a combined two-masted and three-sail prototype, and complete the basic outfitting, finally reached about 6,100.

Of course, because I already have a supply of stable giant timber from Liaodong, the overall cost will further decrease due to the scale effect and the maturity of the process.

When the short-term seaworthiness demonstration is completed, the construction of the main body of the ship can be started at the same time in Banqiao Town, Jiaoxi, Laizhou, and other floating islands; Some of the corresponding accessories and structural materials with lower technical content are completed in Shipai Port and Duli Town according to the specific index division of labor, and then cross the sea to send the finished and semi-finished products to the nearest main shipbuilding area.

In this way, with sufficient materials to dry in advance, at least double-digit new ships will be launched during the year.

The so-called century-old naval heritage is the accumulation of human, financial, and material resources that have been slowly piled up.

Although it is currently under serious warnings and inhibition measures from the DPRK, the pace of Huaidong's development has not stagnated, but has only been adjusted and contracted in the specific direction of development.

After the military strength and defense line of Huaidong town on land have shrunk, it will focus on increasing investment and expansion in sea routes, and will not allow the population and army to have the opportunity to idle.

This kind of enterprising spirit of maintaining a high mobilization ratio for a long time for all military and civilian populations can only advance but not retreat, and it cannot be easily allowed to slacken.

For example, more local new ship construction projects, after the relocation and shrinking capacity of the shipbuilding industry in the Southern Dynasty, it is no longer easy to buy and customize more new ships, and the control of the imperial court is becoming more and more strict, which further creates the specific cost of replenishing the shipping force from the Southern Dynasty.

Therefore, with the support of Anton's large number of shipbuilding raw materials, the development of Huaidong's local shipbuilding industry can only be considered as soon as possible.

In addition, there is the military layout, Huaidong cannot go without a war for a day, nor can it maintain a certain military activity without long-term external threats and needs, as well as sharpen and maintain the combat readiness of the troops.

For example, there is nothing more to be done on the mainland, and after the situation in various places is stabilized, additional investment and expansion of operations will be made in the middle of the breeders who occupy the Pozhuokou generation.

After Wang Gui's former military headquarters was originally reduced, there was a considerable gap in Huaidong's specific military strength, and it had to shrink and retreat in secondary areas;

For example, the small group of lone troops who were left in the lower reaches of the Wugu Water was originally going to send a boat to help them retreat nearby.

However, as the so-called misfortune and blessing, the basic truth of losing the east corner and reaping the mulberry elm, the more than 3,000 Fujian soldiers who came back from the Fujian belt of the Wind Banner have become a kind of timely choice.

Although the combat strength of them as an active offensive is still very insufficient, they are still relatively familiar with the Liaodong Peninsula, which is mainly mountainous and hilly, as a garrison and suppression force.

After all, as the garrison army of Fujian, they have accumulated considerable experience in the long-term confrontation with the local Shanha barbarians and Haoqiang. In this way, the garrison of the same size under the local Toussaint command can be replaced and relieved, and used as a mobile force to strengthen and invest in other directions.

For example, crossing the sea nearby to support the way of the seed division who occupied Bo Fan City; under the pretext of pursuing and liquidating Luo Suxian's remnants; The ultimate goal is to complete the comprehensive suppression and exercise of the control of the small and medium-sized princes and feudal domains in the vast area between the black bone water and the Yalu water.

The vassal families in this southeastern region have suffered very limited turmoil over the years, and their strength is also the weakest among the Andong princes, so they have been able to survive as the private territory and protected vassals of the Luo domain for a long time.

Now, it is obvious that they are being asked to change the object of tribute and service, and after missing the current opportunity, the civil strife of the Luo Domain has decided the victory, and there is no more suitable reason and excuse for changing the name.

It is not necessary to be able to occupy and suppress the region militarily, but to maintain a vassal enclave dedicated to providing resources and labor by supporting a group of dependent vassals and garrison points, as was the case in the Jeolla Province of the Silla Domain......

And in the port of Haicang in Weizhou,

Chen Yuan was also secretly looking at his future colleagues, in a sense, they were all his alumni or seniors.

Because today, it is the day when he went to Cangzhou with Pengju's brother to take up his new position, and Pengju's brother's new appointment is the general of the Cangzhou battalion and the local infantry commander, so as to oversee the follow-up matters of the local armed reorganization.

But nominally, it was still under the banner of the local Cangzhou Righteous Army, and in the name of it, he also accepted the appeasement of Zhang Bangchang, the ambassador of Hebei and the governor of Hebei, and had another kind of "Cangzhou regimental training" as a cover.

And Brother Pengju's ability to be alone in this position undoubtedly represents a certain kind of trust and promising expectations from the Zhenfu Mansion.

You must know that the four major enclaves owned by Huaidong today, the five prefectures of western Liaoxi and the Liaodong Peninsula, as well as the Silla Domain, are all soldiers and horses with at least one to two routes;

Like the largest five states in western Liaoning, there are Yao Zhongping and Zhe Keshi in the south, and Ning Zhiyuan in the north; The three states of the Liaodong Peninsula have Toussaint; In Jeolla Province in the Silla Domain, it was jointly led by the head instructors Xi Oh Jue and Yang Jae-xing.

Although the ten counties of Cangzhou are still under the control of Huaidong, they are only a few counties in the coastal areas, and tens of thousands of local people are concentrated

However, it is said that the local Changlu salt plant has begun to resume production, which also means that the local stable income and long-term business continue to benefit.

Cangzhou is one of the few large states in Hebei, with Zhang Bangchang's forces in the east and south being the long-term truce, and Guzhou, Xuanzhou and Changzhou, which belong to the Pinglu Daoshan region to the north.

Therefore, when necessary, it can even be used as a springboard to follow the old road along the northern section of the canal, and lead troops into the rear of Pinglu Dao, contain and support the strategy of western Liaoning, and even when the conditions are ripe, form a certain north-south flank attack on the 14 states of Pinglu Dao.

Therefore, at least in terms of rank, Jian was immediately promoted by two ranks and became a prisoner of the infantry army.

According to the system of Huaidong, under the commanders, there are eleven soldiers and horses; and the number of the governors who were subordinate to the soldiers and horses did not exceed fifteen; With regard to the full-time military posts in front-line combat, they all adopt a rather cautious and strict attitude, and would rather have a shortage than an abundance.

Therefore, due to the change of the former army moving to the town, Brother Pengju has undoubtedly indirectly become one of the beneficiaries of the replacement sequence.

Therefore, this time, he could bring twenty people from the joint school's martial arts academy as a backup general. The specific personnel are selected by the joint school to meet the requirements, and the chief officer selects the candidates who are important.

And Chen Yuan undoubtedly belongs to the only supernumerary who makes an exception; Pengju's elder brother rarely used his authority and connections as a mentor to reserve a five-year active school status and courses for him, allowing him to continue to study and study the corresponding courses in his spare time when he served in the army, and only after passing the make-up examination in the next year could he be regarded as completing the corresponding subjects.
