Sun Hao also arranged for others to cut down trees, open up fertile fields, and land come out, so many people have to open their mouths to eat, and the trader is not omnipotent, only let them learn to cultivate by themselves, and form a set of virtuous cycle development.

The progress of the training of the troops is also very gratifying, these people are already civilized, they are proficient, they are agile, and the training is much easier. At the same time, Sun Hao also exchanged more than 30,000 sets of double-layer chain mail woven with alloy soft steel wire, which can effectively protect them on the battlefield and reduce damage.

Behind these chain mail, Sun Hao is required to tie the link with a high-strength rope, just like a shoelace, so that not only can it be slimmed, but it will not look so bloated, and the chain mail that protects the thighs and calves is the same, as long as you wear a helmet that can cover your head and neck, with the swords and muskets of this era, you can't hurt your troops at all, unless it's a cannon. What's more worth mentioning is that this set of advanced chain mail weighs only about 15 pounds, and for these Wuji Continent girls with superb hands and great strength, it is as if they are not wearing them after wearing them, and they are extremely light.

Of the more than 20,000 army units, Sun Hao basically trained according to the training syllabus of the special forces of later generations, and as long as the training became an army, the combat effectiveness of this army can be imagined.

The training of the Navy is much slower because the Navy is a very complex military unit.

At the same time as training gun rings, Sun Hao also trained the troops in knife skills.

The women's unit was issued with a 98K rifle and a 10-pound long-handled broadsword with a retractable handle.

The cold weapons of the men's unit are all 20-pound large knives with retractable hilts.

However, in the training, Sun Hao felt as if something was missing, what was the most powerful unit in the ancient army, many people would say that it was cavalry, but Sun Hao had no choice, where did he go to buy war horses? Where to buy Li Gang? Not to mention that the earth horses in later generations are very expensive, and many war horses have been degraded, and they cannot meet the requirements of war horses at all. There are no war horses, only training first.

While training the navy, Sun Hao thought about what type of warships he would buy. The navy is an extremely complex army, and the fleet before World War I generally consisted of battleships, cruisers, destroyers, patrol ships, gunboats, supply ships, minelayers, submarines, and so on. World War II also only increased aircraft carriers, aircraft, and other equipment.

Since the navy has been formed, it is necessary to form a powerful fleet, as for the aircraft carrier, the first war has not yet begun, that thing is not necessary, even if you want to form, you are restricted by the trader, you can only form a fleet composed of battleships, cruisers, destroyers, supply ships, and gunboats.

What kind of battleship to buy? Sun Hao's ideal battleships are not traded, but there is no limit to the former dreadnought-class warships.

In this era, the British Empire and the Kingdom of France are the overlords of the sea, and before absolute strength, everything must be forbearance. Taizu said, "Dig deep holes, accumulate grain, and slowly become kings." These quotes speak volumes about the importance of forbearance.

Although it is not possible to equip powerful warships at the moment, it is possible to equip former dreadnoughts.

The former dreadnought is a collective term for warships built between the late 1880s and 1905. It replaced ironclads and became the main force of the navies of various countries until the beginning of the twentieth century, when they were replaced by dreadnoughts. The pre-dreadnoughts were armed with heavy guns as their main guns and one or more light weapons, covered with reinforced steel armor and equipped with coal-fired steam engines. For example, the British Sovereign-class battleships, the German Brandenburg-class battleships, the Maine-class second-class battleships of the United States, the Opstrove battleship of the Rakshasa country, and so on.

Thinking that the navy should be equipped with super-dreadnought battleships, Sun Hao discussed with Li Gang which type of battleship to buy.

At Li Gang's suggestion, Sun Hao eventually purchased five Junquan-class battleships.

The armor protection of the Sovereign-class also set a new standard for contemporaneous battleships, with the broadside main armor belt about 77 meters long and 2.64 meters high, of which 1.52 meters extended below the waterline, and the main armor belt in the middle of the side was 457 mm thick at its thickest point, then decreasing forward and backward at 406 mm and 356 mm respectively, with a teak support layer 102-203 mm thick inside. The upper part of the broadside armor is 102 mm thick (45 m long x 2 m high), and the total height of the gunside armor is about 4.5 m (1.6 m below the waterline and 2.9 m above the waterline)

The design displacement of the Sovereign-class battleships was 14150 tons, the actual displacement ranged from 14050 tons ("The Empress of India") to 14420 tons ("Remilis"), and the full load displacement was 15220 tons ("Hood" 15590 tons).

The main scale waterline is 115.8 meters long, the total length is 125 meters, the width of the ship is 22.9 meters, the average draft is 8.4 meters, and the maximum draft is 8.84-9.1 meters.

The establishment of the crew is 670-712 people

4 guns of the 343 mm MkII.BL (67 tons, breech loading)

10 MkIV. 152.4 mm rapid-fire guns;

12-16 rapid-fire guns of 57 mm and 47 mm;

7 x 406 mm torpedo tubes, including 2 underwater broadside tubes;

4 overboard launch tubes and 1 stern launch tube on the water;

Sun Hao was also very satisfied with Li Gang's recommendation of the military-class battleships that could be traded, so he ordered five in one go. Originally, Sun Hao planned to order one for training, but the more Li Gang said, the cheaper the price, so Sun Hao had to order five ships in one go. Sun Hao was not worried about whether these warships could sail into the sea, he had only traded one warship for training before, and after the unification of the Gongbang Dynasty, he would trade other warships.

At the same time, Sun Hao also ordered two sail warships with a displacement of about 1,000 tons, but the power of these warships was a mixture of steam engines and sails.

THE FIREPOWER CONFIGURATION OF THE TWO BATTLESHIPS WAS THE FRENCH SCHNEIDER 1897 RAPID-FIRE GUNS, 20 75 CALIBER AND 4 105MM CALIBER. Field guns are not naval guns, so these guns have to be modified to a certain extent.

The anti-recoil device of the French 75-mm field gun had a hydraulic recoiler that absorbed recoil energy by forcing the recoiler through a small hole. At the same time, the recoil movement of the artillery compresses the air in the retreating barrel. As soon as the recoil is depleted, the compressed air expands and resets the tube. This controllable recoil cycle time is short and has the potential to significantly increase the rate of artillery firing.
