Rushing to the dock, Zhuo Shijie saw a warship moored on the dock at a glance. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Is this a destroyer?"

He really had never seen such a small destroyer.

Sure enough, it was cheap and not good, although this warship was much larger than his two previous gunboats, but it was far from the destroyer he had in mind.

Anne pointed to the destroyer and introduced him: "This is our newest destroyer, it has a maximum displacement of 580 tons, a hull length of 65 meters, a beam of 8.6 meters, a draft of 3.4 meters, a maximum speed of 26 knots, and a maximum of 70 tons of fuel ......."

Zhuo Shijie calculated in his heart that the hull was too narrow for long-distance sailing, and the speed was acceptable......

"Its prototype is the British River-class destroyer during World War I, it was originally 71 meters long and about 7.1 meters wide, in order to be more suitable for long-distance voyages, but also to install larger caliber guns, I made a modification of its hull......"

"Destroyers in World War I! You're really going to find me an antique. "Zhuo Shijie still knows a little about the weapons and equipment of World War II, but he really doesn't have much impression of the weapons of World War I, which is too old.

Anne was also very aggrieved: "But Commander, the smallest destroyer in World War II has a tonnage of more than 1,000 tons, and we can't build a warship of this level at the moment." ”

Zhuo Shijie said helplessly: "Yes, we can only make do for the time being." ”

Anne continued: "Commander, although its prototype is a World War I destroyer, I only borrowed its hull, other important equipment such as weapon systems, power systems, etc., and I have all replaced them with World War II era, so you can just think of it as a pocket-sized destroyer." “

"yes, it's much better than our two gunboats."

"Commander, you see, its original armament was four 75-mm single-barreled guns, and I canceled them all and replaced them with a more powerful and long-range 100-mm cannon."

"This 100-mm gun, with a range of 18 kilometers and a rate of fire of 18 rounds per minute, is enough for all current combat ...... at sea"

"I was going to install two more 25-mm rapid-fire guns on it ......"

Zhuo Shijie now has a headache when he hears the words "25mm cannon", its range is too close, its power is too small, its close defense is okay, and its offensive ability is really too poor. If it weren't for it, Liu Lao Liu would not have almost died.

When Anne saw Zhuo Shijie's stinky face, she immediately said, "So I changed my mind and installed a quadruple 40mm bang cannon on it......"

Zhuo Shijie's face turned gloomy at this time.

The 40-mm guns sound much stronger than the 25-mm guns, and besides, they are still quadruple-packed, so the power is naturally good.

What's more, Bang Bang Cannon, the name sounds sensible, and he likes it very much.

Zhuo Shijie learned the general situation of this destroyer from Anne, and he was quite satisfied, after all, the tonnage is limited here, and it is already very good to be able to do this.

Although this destroyer is not large, it can carry a maximum of 100 soldiers, and all his current commanders and fighters are only a few dozen people, and everyone can be crammed into it.

"Well, Annie, you've done a good job, and you've worked hard this time!" Zhuo Shijie's words are sincere.

Anne said very calmly, "This is what I should do. ”

Although Anne didn't reveal anything on the surface, the prompt sound in Zhuo Shijie's mind betrayed her.

"Congratulations to the master, you have successfully gained 0.01 points of intimacy, come on!"

Although the intimacy has not improved much, Zhuo Shijie is still very pleasantly surprised, and he usually praises Anne a few more words, and there will always be unexpected gains.

At the same time, Zhuo Shijie also had a little trouble.

There were as many as seven people to operate the destroyer, and this was the personnel needed after Anne had simplified the operating procedures.

There is a serious shortage of manpower!

His subordinates turned out to be coarse people who couldn't read a single word, and even if they were trained intensively, they were far less comfortable than robots. In particular, the robot's operation of weapons can be called perfect, and it is accurate to shoot a dozen and a bit, but unfortunately yes, now it is not possible to make robots in large quantities.

Taiwan Island must be taken as soon as possible, and only by getting close to the continental shelf can we get more rare elements and create more robots.

"This destroyer is so small, let's call it the Cherry!"

"Immediately arrange manpower to familiarize them with the operating procedures of this Cherry, so as to save them from being caught blind in wartime."

"When they get a little more familiar, we will attack the Dutch on Taiwan Island and drive them all back to their hometowns!"

Zhuo Shijie planned so, but the plan could never catch up with the changes.

After the subordinates saw this brand-new destroyer, they were shocked and excited, such a large steel battleship, more than a dozen small gunboats, in the future, some of them can win battles.

However, their euphoria had not yet gone down, and they had not even seen everything inside and outside the Cherry before a new battle came.

Now, the Exocet and the Asuka, two gunboats, have taken on the task of reconnaissance patrols, and the soldiers drive them around the island every day, scouting for suspicious ships and ensuring the safety of the surrounding waters.

At noon that day, the Asuka in charge of reconnaissance spotted more than 20 suspicious ships in the eastern sea.

When Zhuo Shijie received the report, he immediately led everyone to the top of the mountain to observe the movement of these ships.

Hong Zhi and Liu Laoliu took the binoculars and looked at them for a while, and they already knew it.

"Commander, there is no doubt that this ship must be a widow."

Zhuo Shijie: "Why do you say this? ”

Hong Zhi replied: "It is rumored that most of the warships of the Japanese are medium-sized ships, carrying eight to twenty guns, two masts and three sails, and from a distance, these ships are no different from the rumored Japanese warships. ”

More than twenty of them, which sounds quite scary.

However, the mere 20 or so warships were pitifully small for the huge naval force of the Japanese people.

Zhuo Shijie smiled, this is a wry smile. What he was waiting for was the large fleet of the Japanese country, who knew that he had waited and waited, but he had waited for a small fleet that did not enter the stream, which was really blind to his day and night.

His original plan was to beat the Japanese hard, crushing their navy, and making them stop attacking Korea. At present, the Ming Dynasty is chaotic enough, and he really doesn't want the Japanese to intervene again, in that case, the people of the Ming Dynasty will be even more disastrous.

But who knows, General Tokugawa is really a little clever, and he doesn't take him Zhuo Shijie seriously, and still ******** to attack Korea.

In the eyes of the Japanese people, he Zhuo Shijie was just a disease of scabies, and attacking North Korea and then invading the Ming Dynasty was their most important national strategy.

It was also at this moment that Zhuo Shijie deeply realized that what he had thought before was too simple, and he still lacked the overall view of the world.

He is not even as good as a widow.

It seems that when thinking about problems in the future, we should broaden our horizons.

But now, he still has to deal with this Japanese fleet, and since there is a whetstone from the door, his subordinates naturally have to go up to train their troops.
