"Today, we stand here to mourn our fallen comrades! Pray for the future of the Motherland! Leaning his mouth in front of the microphone, Admiral Zhang Rude said to the sailors below the steps with a heavy face. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

He held the speech, and his fingers trembled a little: "The soul of the brothers in the South Seas will not be dispersed, and together with my North Sea Fleet, we will continue to defend the thousands of miles of the Ming Empire!" ”

"The soul is back!" As a general of the Ming Empire, his hysterical shouts and voices can even float far and wide without even passing through a microphone.

"The soul is back!" Like a cuckoo crying blood, Zhang Rude's already slightly hoarse voice was entangled in the sea breeze and refused to disperse for a long time.

"General Chu has gone! None of the battleships such as the Kunlun Mountain fled, and all of them sank in Luzon! More than 10,000 of my brothers are also buried there! In the future, the 100,000 widows and orphans in the South Seas will be our relatives in the North Sea! ”

"Brother who is gone, parents and children, I will raise them with Zhang Rude!" Speaking of this, the voice of this soldier, who had watched many comrades leave, became choked.

When the battleship Wudang Mountain sank that year, Zhang Rude was not so painful, and when he heard the news of the sinking of the battleship Qianshan, Zhang Rude was not so sad.

However, Chu and the old man are gone, which one of the navy dares to say that his heart does not hurt? Who can say that there is no blood in their chest?

The old man seemed to be calm and quiet on weekdays, with a stern tone in his kindness. When he was there, everyone didn't think much of it, but after he left, everyone knew that they had always had such an old man in their hearts.

"The defeat of General Chu is not a crime of war, but the battleship in his hand is not as good as a person! Today, our North Sea Division fleet made an oath here, this revenge is not shared, and the hot-blooded man will not die, and he will be returned! Pressing the sword on his waist, Zhang Rude once again shouted with a heart-rending cry.

This is a memorial to the Nanyang brothers, and this sacrificial text is used to do the launching ceremony for the launching of the most advanced battleship of the Ming Empire, and it is also specially approved by His Majesty the Emperor.

Just behind Zhang Rude, in the military port of Shandong, a brand-new battleship of the Ming Empire was being launched.

As a new generation of battleships of the Ming Empire, it used the new power system of the first generation of the Ming Empire, and the fuel was also changed from boiler coal to more efficient heavy oil.

It is precisely because of this power system that the speed of the battleships of the Ming Empire has broken through the original bottleneck, and the thickness of the armor has also made a qualitative leap.

Its power barely caught up with Britain's newest battleship, the Liverpool-class, and although it had lost two knots of top speed, it was not a fatal injury.

Because in the complex and changeable environment of naval warfare, the advantage of two-section speed is almost negligible, which is equivalent to saying that the Ming Empire finally has a battleship that can compete with the Liverpool class.

The same improvement was made to the battleship's armor system - the original battleship's armor was based on the previous standard to defend against shells fired by 356 mm cannons.

Now, the new battleships of the Ming Empire are covered with thicker armor in the main parts, so that the defensive capability has probably been improved to a level comparable to that of the British battleships.

In addition, in order to surpass the battleships of the British Navy in the future, the 400 mm caliber naval guns secretly developed by the Ming Empire served on this battleship, no matter from any point of view, this battleship is a well-deserved maritime hegemon.

To say the least: if the Ming Empire continued to build a fleet on this basis, British maritime supremacy would be in jeopardy.

"Future! With this battleship, we will sink the ships of the enemy's provocation, break their backbones and smash their flesh! The sea belongs to us, and the sea belongs to the navy of the Ming Empire! Zhang Rude shouted loudly and raised his arm high.

"Long live the Ming Empire! Long live the Ming Empire! "All the sailors and officers raised their arms and let out a wave of shouts!

In the midst of their frantic shouts, the flowery decorations on the sharp bow of the battleship were cut. The majestic military music began to play with slow emphasis, and the voice was low without a cheerful beat.

Little by little, the battleship left its slipway and began to slide towards the large pool of water in the dock. The sea rippled, splashing the sleeve of General Zhang Rude on the high platform.

Zhang Rude didn't care, because no sailor would be afraid that his clothes would be wet by the waves. They are full of yearning for the sea and equally full of reverence for the water.

"This battleship, His Majesty the Emperor personally broke the rules for the naming of our Navy. Your Majesty hopes that one day, it can become the battleship that breaks the rules and the future of the Ming Empire's navy! Zhang Rude clenched his fists and said loudly into the microphone.

He pointed to the battleship behind him, which had already entered the reservoir with half of his body, and shouted excitedly: "Authorized by the Ministry of War, this battleship is named Chu He!" ”

"Chu He! Chu with the number! The inspired sailors and officers continued to cheer loudly, after all, this was the first warship named after a naval commander in the history of the Ming Empire.

Even the generals who swept across the Asian seas and led the fleet to India were not willing to give this honor to His Majesty the Emperor at that time.

Now, in order to boost the morale of the demoralized Ming Empire Navy, Zhu Mu gave this glory and promised that if the navy continues to produce heroes, then this glory will continue to expand and continue.

Therefore, from this moment on, the navy of the Ming Empire has an additional naming method, which is very similar to the naming method of the Ceylon navy - it is also named after people.

However, the Ceylon Navy chose to use historical generals, while the Ming Empire Navy chose to win glory for the country, and there is still an essential difference between this.

In the shouts of the tsunami of his subordinates, Zhang Rude turned his head and watched the huge battleship completely enter the reservoir, and the name of the battleship gilded at the stern was the three big characters of Chu and the phoenix dancing in the handwriting of His Majesty the Emperor.

The battleship was 300 meters long and could be fitted with four turrets and a total of eight 400 mm guns. Although these weapons are not yet visible, they will be completed one day.

In the next war, the Ming Empire has been at full speed and is preparing for the next war when this war has not completely ended.

New weapons prepared for the next war have also begun to surface little by little. The battleship Chu He became the first step in the Ming Empire's armament war -- a very advanced step.

I'm sorry, but I haven't continued to write for a long time, so the codeword speed is still slow after all. I'm sorry I didn't send it out before 0:00...... But this one is more, and it will continue tomorrow!
