The problems exposed by the Qin Navy were instantly seized by the opponent. Combat in the surface area. I'm afraid that there is no opponent who is more experienced than the Chu State Naval Army.

"Navy. It's a big endurance. The generals of the Chu State Navy laughed at their opponents.

The next day, the two armies confronted each other without incident. The third day was still fine. It's just that the Chu navy tried to get close and was repelled by the Qin naval guns. The two coalition forces then left and returned to their respective stations.

Night. The south side of the river. A group of shirtless Chu naval troops stood by the river.

"You are all good men of my Chu State Water Army. Tonight is the day to defeat the Qin Navy. ”

"Okay, don't say anything. Dry," said the commander, picking up a bowl of turbid wine and taking a sip of dry. The other trolls are so dry. Then clasp your hands into fists. They went into the water one after another.

Sailors know how to water. But there is a big difference between good and bad water. The Chu navy came from local fishermen. They grew up by the river when they were young. Water-based is natural.

And in Shang Wen's opinion. These water-savvy sailors are simply underwater frogmen for special operations. It's just that the specific mode of operation is not known.

Shang Wen's knowledge of the water army is only a written report. He hadn't actually seen it. He was curious, though. Without any breathing equipment. Is it really possible to dive for that long? Shang Wen raised his own questions.

Now Shangwen will learn that this is true in future Shangwen reports.

These trolls are all water-based masters. Some are able to remain underwater for a long time. The navy of Chu would not wear such extravagant things as watches. It will not train sailors mechanically like the Qin Navy. They rely heavily on their Shangwen technical superiority. And not the superiority of the sailors.

Nightfall provided excellent cover. Limited visibility at night. And it is also not possible to set up barbed wire in the water like the army. Nor can mines be planted in the water as on land.

A Qin sailor wears a navy blue uniform. Originally, the military uniform was white. But white is not pretty. It was replaced with sea blue.

The soldier pondered back and forth with a rifle with a bayonet on it. There is only a commanding height and a little light in the military port. There are lights on the boats. The rest of the place is basically a dark place.

Two large iron chains are installed at the entrance and exit. This is specifically designed to intercept large ships. Small boats are generally useless. Junior officers at the naval base advised against the use of such chains. But no one on it paid attention. Note above that this is the number of ships.

In the water below the sailors. Nearly 200 soldiers of the Chu State Navy pushed their small boats and quietly sailed across the river. The boat was carrying an incendiary bomb developed by the Chu State. This bomb is placed in a jar of wine. The jar is filled not with wine, but with tung oil. These tung oils are more easily ignited than the gasoline made in the Qin State. Place a wrapped dynamite paper packet in tung oil. The fuse is outside the sealing mud. A small hole is reserved for the place.

The general wine jar can float on the water.

Quietly entering the Qin State Military Port, the soldiers of the Chu State Navy took down the wine jar connected by ropes from the ship. Then a few people dragged the jar away in groups.

The water army of Chu State approached and looked for a place to climb. Quietly enter the ship. Then put the wine jars into the Qin State ships one by one.

The sailors of the Qin State were too loose. There were only a few people on duty on the ship. And almost all of these personnel deserted. They gave the defense to the shore defense artillery. The care of the ship is too lax.

The Chu State Navy didn't know who thought of it. He even used incense sticks as a timer. When investigating afterwards, Qin Jun actually suspected that Chu had a special timer. This kind of timer is more than the clocks produced by the Qin State. The Qin State suspected that there was a reason, and the famous carpenter Lu Ban was a native of the Chu State. Then it is possible that there is a special kind of timekeeping device.

The ideas of experts come with great limitations.

After the placement is completed. These water-friendly men evacuated the ship. Then wait for the explosion to sound. In order to prevent enemy sabotage and accidents. The timer device is set up to five.

At the time of the convergence of some of the team members. The bomb finally exploded.

The explosion instantly produces high temperatures. High pressure. Ignited tung oil splattered in the surrounding wooden cabins. Then there was the continuous explosion. The explosion set fire to other jars. Sawdust flew out of the ship with the flames. Then the whole ship ignited its fire.

One exploded followed by a second. This is the only cruiser currently in the Qin Navy. The explosion was followed by an accidental ignition of the ammunition. The second explosion completely blew up the cruiser's side. Flying sawdust fell to the surface of the river with flaming sails.

All the sailors were dumbfounded. They don't know what's going on. The ship turned out to explode. One after the other. In the blink of an eye. Several large ships of the Qin State exploded one after another. The accompanying tung oil ignited the wooden boat. All but a few large ships under construction in the military port were on fire. Turned into a pile of water wood on fire.

And the Chu Navy Army danced happily. After the return of the sailors. It was seen as a huge victory. The Qin Navy will not have a single surface ship to fight for some time. Perhaps. That's sitting on a fishing boat. That's called the Navy. The navy of the state of Chu made fun of the navy of the Qin state as a joke.

And the Qin State Naval Base is still burning with fires. The fire was extinguished at noon the next day. The Qin navy did not go to put out the fire. There is no way to save it. Tung oil burns faster than gasoline. And the firefighting facilities are not complete

After the incident, the top commander of the naval base shot himself. I ended my life myself. The Navy's only surface force was wiped out. The few large ships that were left were reduced to ashes. The losses were extremely heavy.

The. The Chu navy temporarily controlled part of the waters of the Yangtze River. Because. The Qin coastal defense artillery was also able to carry out a fire blockade of some waters. This caused certain losses to the Chu State Naval Army. But compared. The Qin navy was devastated.

Navy! Disaster! "The Destruction of the Navy" and "The Suicide of the Commander of the Navy" A large number of newspapers reported on the incident. This incident led to the peak of distrust of the navy in the Qin state. People doubted whether the Qin navy was capable of fighting at all.

"We should recommend that the prime minister abolish the navy. A trolls should be set up. Or simply attached to the Army. Establishment of the Army Surface Forces. A newspaper quipped.

"Our navy has apparently learned how to use warships for fishing." Reproaches for the Navy continued.

"Are there big losses in personnel?" Shang Wen asked about the specific situation on the phone.

"It's not huge. The main thing is that the Navy does not have a single large warship. There are no ships in the Navy. There is no point in existing, and the king is angry with the Minister of the Navy. Wang Jian said on the phone.

"The Navy wasn't built in a day." Shang Wen said tolerantly.

"The Navy must be built. We are determined. That determination has never been lost. Shang Wen paused.

"Let's give the Navy another chance. I believe in them. Shang Wen said on the phone.

Shang Wen then called King Qin. Ask for a chance for the Navy. Do not abolish the services of the Navy. And himself is willing to take responsibility for the Navy. The impact of this event will be tried to eliminate the negative effects.

Later, Shang Wen held a press conference. Comment specifically on this matter.

"Recently, you also know what is happening inside the naval base? All the large ships of our navy were successfully attacked by the Chu navy. The whole army was destroyed. Shang Wen said slowly. The corners of the naval officer's mouth twitched.

"But what I'm asking is why we want to build the navy. What are we building the Navy for? ”

"This world. We conquered the land. The sky is full of airplanes and airships. The sky is also under our control. The eagle in the sky has given us the supremacy of the sky. So is the world just land and sky? ”

"And the ocean. Our military presence does not yet exist in the oceans. Overseas resources have not been widely utilized. What are we building shipyards for? In order to conquer the seas one day. ”

"The State of Qin is a land country. The sea is foreign to us. Many of us have never seen the ocean. It's because I haven't seen it. Do you just give up on the ocean? ”

"Nope. At least I don't want to give up. Shang Wen said. Everyone was impressed by Shang Wen's feelings. This delicate young man used his determination to show the determination of the Qin State to conquer the sea.

"I hope. At the end of my political career. Our children and grandchildren will be able to see the sea. And then the children and grandchildren say it to our generation. ”

"Father. Is this the sea? ”

I will answer. Be. We have boats that can sail on the sea. There is a wonderful world waiting for us overseas. ”

"The kids will have an ocean dream. That's our hope. Shang Wen said. Everyone in the room was silent.

"The wooden boat burned very well. He showed us clearly. Wood is not a good material for shipbuilding. Since wood doesn't work. Then we'll build steel ships. Let them burn it and it won't burn it. And we teach them hard with our steel. Then we rushed out of the Yangtze River. Passing on an ocean dream to your children and grandchildren. ”

"Finally. I hope. We forgive the Navy. There is no success without fail. We're giving the Navy a chance. Thank you. Shang Wen finished speaking.

"Whoa. Talk la la la la Then there was a round of applause. This applause represents the rise of the Qin navy again.

It was not until this moment that the Qin State had a naval dream. The ocean was awakened. Although the state of Qin lost a number of ships. But consciousness is awakened. This is success. Not a failure!
