The earth-shaking political scene in London, Chen Bo and William? Gladstone's secret talks, as well as the sudden hot private shipyard stocks in the London financial market, this series of news was quickly sent to the table of the prime minister's office in Beijing's Qin Kai, and Xu Shoushan's perfect tactics of deliberately arsoning with the enemy and raiding had already detonated heated discussions at the top of the military and political department.

Even now, even Qin Kai is still reluctant to confront the British head-on, although the Pacific Fleet is strong, but the Far East Fleet put together by the British Empire is indeed a bunch of iron turtles with iron hammers......

Xu Shoushan has already played a beautiful combination of punches, copying the Iron Turtle's outpost supply station, and by the way, the Iron Turtle has to consider the important issue of supply, and unexpectedly destroy the port of Xingzhou, the biggest significance is that if the British cannot complete the construction of the supply station in Sumatra, they must retreat the battle line into the Strait of Malacca again, which also means that the Pacific Fleet will gain more space to block the British.

The reality is that, as far as the present situation stands, although the British have successfully penetrated the waters east of Sumatra from the Strait of Malacca, and have formed a military threat to the Java Sea and Pontianak, the capital of South China, with the general 4,000-kilometer range of the fleet in this era, it will attack the port of Pontianak less than 500 kilometers, and enter the Java Sea and the island of Java less than 1,000 kilometers.

At the same time, it is also destined that the British will directly enter the South China Sea to attack the free ports of China's South China Sea, and the 4,000-kilometer voyage is destined to be a one-way adventure, with 8 battleships of more than 10,000 tons, 6 large armored cruisers of more than 5,000 tons, and a huge fleet of more than 30 warships. Coal burning alone every day. It's a staggering amount of consumption.

The problem that drove Britain even more crazy was. In the entire Dutch East Indies and South China region, there are only two ports suitable for 14,000 tons of sovereign-class incoming port supply, Batavia and Pontianak.

So, none of the staff officers of the Ministry of Military Affairs Edward? Lieutenant General Simon had two options, one was to immediately become a shrunken iron turtle, return to the Strait of Malacca from the Kundur Channel again, and go to Penang Port to defend it, and slowly consolidate the defense and control of the Sing Chau Strait...... As a Brit who just rushed out of the Channel at a huge cost. That's not very likely!

The second option would be to seize the relatively weakly defended port of Batavia, where there was no strong Chinese fleet and a small number of Chinese destroyers could not defend the already weakly defended port...... However, the British had to give full consideration to whether their small number of marines would be able to gain a foothold in Batavia, knowing that the South Chinese Army on the island had completely routed the Dutch and gained full control.

However, in the various judgments of the General Staff. Lu Han, who was holding a heavy fist, obviously had other ideas, and he came to Qin Kai early in the morning to exchange information about the naval battle of the Straits Settlements. It's just that after arriving here, his attention was attracted by another thing, at this moment, this thing was sitting seriously next to the coffee table on the side of Qin Kai's study, fiddling with a huge model engraved with dense gears and rulers on this table......

This goods came uninvited, and after I came, after seeing the model on the table, I seemed to have forgotten the meaning of the comet, and began to ponder this model with one mind, which somewhat made Premier Qin, who was scratching his head to consider the proposal of the National Assembly, scratch his head for a while, and the victory of the navy's surprise attack made the political status of the new government and the Baath Party rise.

However, there are still too many Shen Ke to be cleaned up in this old state organism, and Qin Kai naturally knows this, without change and thorough reform, and pinning hopes on society and automatic progress, this is undoubtedly an extremely painful process, so under the implementation of a series of top-down and drastic political reforms of the Ba'ath Party, a large number of new problems have emerged, even those young radical officials of the Baath Party who are active in their minds feel that there are many resistances.

On the whole, the domestic economic situation can be described as a very good, Qin Kai passed legislation and established an extremely simple local government model, local government, parliament, police, and tax department, becoming the only model for local government, and completely independent of these three systems is an independent judicial system, an independent clean government department and the army directly under the central government.

Now the national parliament under the leadership of Zhang Peilun has almost become the legislative council, and a large number of legislative bills submitted by various ministries and commissions are piled up, and those young legal commissioners are extremely engaged in the battle of the sea of literature, which can be described as fruitful.

Now, Premier Qin scratches his head is that a large number of state-level laws have been established, but in the local implementation, the so-called independent judicial system has encountered unprecedented resistance, relatively speaking, the judicial organs of Guangzhou, Fujian and Zhejiang, Jiangsu have been operational, but in the inland provinces, conflicts between the judicial system and local clans have broken out from time to time, submitted to his Ministry of Justice report, only in the first half of the year, more than 600 large-scale judicial conflicts broke out in 12 inland provinces.

The Ministry of Justice's investigation naturally believes that there is no problem with independent judicial trials, and Qin Kai did find some problems through the side investigation of the Intelligence Department and the Department of Integrity and Integrity, but the main problem sounds even more ridiculous, and many conflicts are due to the fact that the local people do not recognize the judgment of the local court at all, and instead ask the government to make a ruling, which eventually turns into a violent conflict against the independent judiciary.

In the past thousand years, Chinese have equated local officials with the Qingtian Lord, and this is naturally easy to understand the continuation of this concept in New China, which has just seen it for a few years...... However, Qin Kai has actually submitted instructions to the National Assembly a long time ago, and the people's assessors who have long existed in later generations are actually very simple ways to dispose of them, and now there is still a large market for the local clan elder system in various places, and it cannot be changed for a while.

He immediately elaborated on the official document, but after finishing it, he saw the calculus calculation clock that Lu Han was still on the research table, "Gengtang, what do you think of this model?" This is one of the national technological innovation achievements this year, which was created by a few young students of Nanyang University and has been patented! ”

Lu Han didn't listen to Qin Kai's introduction at all, in today's rapid development of naval gunnery, as the highest-ranking officer of the navy, he naturally has long paid serious attention to the theoretical scheme of N-type naval fire control, and now the storm fire control system on the Xuanyuan battlecruiser, which was launched last in the Pacific Fleet, calculates the trajectory and firing parameters using the method of conversion of the rate of change, and at the same time, the skilled operation of the fire control officer can also effectively improve the gunnery.

"Gale Wind, this group of young people, I'll just go through the back door and be directly assigned to our Navy Armament Department after graduation...... Our navy is taking the technical route, and the excellence in this technique is very important! "Lu Han is a beginner in the artillery system, and after studying this integrator, he immediately decided to start, and it is the king to catch talents first.

Qin Kai smiled, he was quite satisfied with the growth of the Pacific Fleet, and the navy is now in a period of rapid development, and the combat effectiveness of the navy actually comes entirely from the improvement of technology, military training and the inheritance of naval traditions, and it is precisely because of these three points that Lu Han was left the front line of naval command and focused on the future construction of the navy.

"Gengtang, don't keep staring at these machines and the young people who invented them, in today's naval battle, the actual combat distance of the Xuanyuan is nearly 10 kilometers, which is almost to the limit of visual vision...... In the future war at sea, perhaps the contest between artillery skills, it is entirely possible that it is beyond the visual range...... We must have a vision that others can't imagine, so that the Chinese Navy can exert its greatest energy for the rise of the country and the nation! ”

Qin Kai didn't mind expanding some of his future horizons to the admiral, and in fact, Lu Han often showed unexpected agreement on these matters......

"Out of line-of-sight...... We've already done it, using the airship to shoot at school! Lu Han pursed his lips, but he glanced at the integrator on the table, and immediately thought of something, "Gale, you mean that this kind of machinery with strict mathematical calculation ability is integrated into the fire control system to predict the enemy's movements, and finally form a strike capability!" ”

At this moment, Qin Kai was completely thundered, what he just said was roughly what he meant, but what he didn't expect was that Lu Han actually figured out the basic principles of out-of-sight combat at the first time, accurate mathematical simulation...... In the era before the advent of mainframe computers, the ultimate form of the naval artillery fire control system was composed of precision machinery such as calculation clocks, deviation systems, integrators, gyroscope commanders, and azimuth aiming techniques.

At present, China's Pacific Fleet is obviously far ahead of the world in terms of fire control, but in fact, there is still a long way to go from the ultimate form of fire control system in the era of machinery industry...... However, with the full promotion of Qin Kai, the Chinese Navy has stepped out of the progress that transcends the times.

Storm calculation clock, wind deviation calculation clock, distance deviation meter, and impact deviation are perfectly integrated into the latest generation of storm fire control system, compared with the previous model of typhoon fire control system, there is a great improvement in the integration of the deviation system.

One of the most important is the inclusion of the wind deviation calculation clock, above the vast sea, the storm is a bad situation that is often encountered in war, even in daily situations, the wind speed at sea still has a significant impact on the deviation of shell shooting, the frequency of the battleship's lateral swing and other key data, Xuanyuan chose storm fire control, naturally not because the system is more complex, but because the system is more suitable for the needs of fierce confrontation.

Qin Kai naturally understood that if this question continued, it would be completely endless, so he immediately changed the topic, "Gengtang, you said before that we can't underestimate the determination of the British...... What do you mean? (To be continued......)
