First of all, sniper rifles, this time was 1895, in the Crimean War that broke out in 1853, breech-loading rifled rifles had just replaced breech-loading smoothbore rifles, and in the era of breech-loading rifles, it was impossible for a shooter to hit a target at a distance of 200 meters.

A 19th-century military strategist once wittily said, "If you want to shoot at a target 200 meters away, you might as well shoot the moon, because the result is the same." "In this environment, snipers could not have been possible, and it was not until the outbreak of the American Civil War in 1865 that rifled rifles completely sent smoothbore rifles to historical museums, and snipers appeared.

Although snipers appeared, military strategists from various countries did not realize the value of snipers at all, and it is not surprising that the progress of military thinking always lagged behind the progress of weapons and equipment.

During World War II, aircraft carriers showed unparalleled superiority, but the major naval powers still held on to battleships equipped with a caliber of more than 400 mm, especially Japan, which built a Yamato-class battleship equipped with a 460 mm caliber cannon, which was regarded as the biggest joke in the history of world wars.

The lag of military thinking in various countries in the world gave Lin Fei a huge advantage, because Lin Fei was a traverser, he knew which weapon had withstood the test of history, which kind of combat idea was respected by later generations, and which kind of was ridiculed.

Frogman equipment in this era is still a fantasy for military experts of various countries, they can not imagine the advantage of frogmen in landing operations to attack behind enemy lines, hydraulic control and retraction machine to give artillery a strong rate of fire, the Western world will not be equipped with hydraulic retractor until two years later, that is, in 1897.

Although Lin Fei arranged these three advanced equipment, his heart was still full of worries, and he was worried about the Spanish fortifications.

Denison didn't say anything about the fortifications when he gave Lin Fei the information, this is not because Denison wants to keep the information to save his life, because the value of the other three aspects of intelligence is higher than the value of the fortifications, and Denison doesn't say it because he really doesn't know.

Lin Fei, who is familiar with all kinds of military equipment, knows that there are probably so many kinds of fortifications...... Fortresses, barbed wire, trenches, the fortress is the most dangerous, Lin Fei also knows the weapons and equipment to deal with the fortress, but it does not know the detailed parameters of the Spanish fortress, so it can't design the corresponding weapons and equipment.

If the power of weapons and equipment is designed to be too small, it will not be able to effectively destroy the enemy's fortress, in order to ensure effective destruction, it is necessary to design the power to be very large, which has caused a great waste, if the industrial strength is particularly strong, these wastes can still be beared, but Lin Fei's current industrial strength is not so strong, and he will definitely not be able to bear such a huge waste.

Lin Fei was worried about this matter when he suddenly heard Ling Xue's crisp voice ringing in his ears: "Brother, let's go and see the test of the Vulcan Cannon." ”

Lin Fei asked, "What test?" ”

Ling Xue said with a smile: "According to my brother's instructions, we installed the Vulcan Cannon on a merchant ship with a displacement of five hundred tons, to test the firing of the gun under shipborne conditions. ”

Lin Fei thought for a while and said with a smile: "I should go and see, especially to meet the cadets of the Naval Officer Academy, how can I say that I am also the principal of the Naval Officers Academy, but I haven't even seen the cadets in person." ”

Ling Xue happily pulled Lin Fei out, got into a carriage, and went straight to the beach, Lin Fei found that the carriage was very large, and there could be five or six people in it, so he couldn't help but ask, "Why is this carriage so big?" ”

Ling Xue said proudly, "This is the idea I came up with...... How's the public carriage? I'm smart, right? ”

Lin Fei was really surprised when he heard the "public carriage", Ling Xue saw Lin Fei's surprise, and became even more excited, and said with a smile: "There are some craftsmen in the factory who live far away, and it takes a long time to get to work, so I came up with such a method to give them more time to work. ”

Lin Fei praised Ling Xue a few words, at this time the carriage stopped on the seaside, a wide transport merchant ship was parked on the dock in the distance, and a group of young people wearing naval uniforms were lining up to walk towards the ship, at this time, the Chinese Imperial Army already had standard clothing, Lin Fei called this suit "Type 95 military uniform".

Lin Fei's military uniforms were divided into "regular uniforms", "dresses" and "training uniforms", at this time Lin Fei did not have the conditions to get so many sets of military uniforms, so the army was only equipped with training uniforms, the army's training uniforms were green striped camouflage uniforms, and the navy's uniforms were also camouflage uniforms, but the stripes became blue and white.

Military uniforms are an important part of establishing a sense of honor and building military culture, and all the major countries in Lin Fei's era have powerful and beautiful military uniforms, and when the Chinese Empire further develops and grows, Lin Fei will design military uniforms well.

Lin Fei walked to the front of the ship, at this time the naval cadets had already boarded the ship, and Liu Daming was the only one on land, Lin Fei and Ling Xue walked to Liu Daming, and were just about to get on the boat, Liu Daming suddenly turned his face and said angrily: "Stop..."

Lin Fei saw Liu Daming's face full of anger, and asked in surprise, "Old Liu, what's wrong with you?" ”

Liu Daming pointed at Ling Xue with his hand, his angry face disappeared all of a sudden, replaced by a grinning appearance, and said, "Women are not allowed to go on the ship..."

Lin Fei knew that Liu Daming liked to joke, and he even often joked about the God that Yu Xier believed in, but he didn't care, and Ling Xue didn't get angry with him, he smiled and said, "Then you don't treat me as a woman." Ling Xue said and punched Liu Daming in the shoulder, and said in a rough voice: "Dude, let's hurry up and get on the ship." ”

Liu Daming laughed, suddenly reached out and tore open his clothes, revealing a large sturdy muscle on his chest, and said to Ling Xue with a wicked smile: "If you dare to do this, I won't treat you as a woman." ”

Ling Xue's face flushed with shame all of a sudden, and she shook Lin Fei's arm and said coquettishly, "Brother, hurry up and take care of him..."

Lin Fei smiled helplessly, said don't make trouble twice, and then got on the boat with the two, the naval cadets on the ship were very excited to see Lin Fei, and gathered around Lin Fei, Lin Fei encouraged everyone a few words, and then asked everyone to return to their internship positions, and then ordered the captain to start the boat.

The captain's name was Wu Hai, a slightly chubby Chinese, who always looked happy, and he agreed with a smile. The steam engine started slowly, heading out to the sea far from the harbor, where there were more merchant ships and where artillery firing tests could not be carried out.

When the merchant ship was moving, Lin Fei went to visit the Vulcan cannon again, the Vulcan cannon was installed in the bow of the ship and could be rotated, this gun was not installed in the fully enclosed turret, because the fully enclosed turret was relatively heavy, and the requirements for the rotation mechanism were very high, and Lin Fei could not make such a powerful rotating mechanism at this time.

Therefore, this gun was only equipped with armor guards on the front and top surfaces, which could not only defend against enemy shell fragments, but also made it easier to rotate.

The artillery body has been grilled blue, glowing with a beautiful metallic blue glow in the sunlight, and the thick gun body has an equally thick cylinder on its back, which is the hydraulic brake and retreat machine.

As the merchant ships gradually moved away from the coast, Ling Xue called an old craftsman, this old craftsman was one of the most qualified craftsmen in the original Ling Ji Manufacturing Bureau, named "Yang Huaicheng", because he was highly respected, so Ling Xue arranged for him to be the commander-in-chief of various tests, Ling Xue said to Yang Huaicheng: "Now you can conduct a full rate of fire test." ”

Yang Huaicheng agreed, and brought a few gunners to the front of the artillery, and one of the gunners opened a small hole in the reinforcing and reversing machine, looked at the height of the recoiling and recoiling liquid, and then reported: "The amount of reinforcing and recoiling liquid is normal, and the full rate of fire test of the artillery can be carried out." ”

Yang Huaicheng said in a loud voice: "Very good, all parts are prepared, and the full rate of fire test of the artillery will be carried out in three minutes." ”

As soon as Yang Huaicheng finished speaking, more than a dozen students of the Naval Military Academy moved out several large boxes of shells and placed them next to the artillery.

As soon as Qiē was ready, just when everyone was expecting the Vulcan Cannon to hit the highest rate of fire, suddenly a red flare rose in the sky.

Lin Fei's heart tightened when he saw this signal flare, because the meaning of this red signal flare was ...... There are enemy ships coming ...

Lin Fei thought of the possibility of Samar Island being discovered by the Spanish before attacking Mindanao, so he deployed extremely careful defensive measures for Yanhuang City, Yanhuang City is located on the east coast of Samar Island, there are two long islands in the east of it, Lin Fei called them "Penglai Island" and "Yingzhou Island", these two islands arch to guard Yanhuang City, leaving a passage only five kilometers wide in the middle, and any ship that wants to enter Yanhuang City must take this passage.

Lin Fei stipulated that any ship that wanted to enter the port of Yanhuangcheng must first go to the island for the record, and then be allowed to enter the port of Yanhuangcheng.

Half a minute after a red flare was issued, another red flare flew into the sky, and this flare meant ...... The trespassing ship was not a warship, but a civilian transport ship, Lin Fei saw this signal flare, turned his head to the captain Wu Hai and said, "How far are we from the passage between Penglai Island and Yingzhou Island now?" ”

Wu Hai replied: "If you turn around now, it will only take about fifteen minutes to arrive." ”

Lin Fei said: "Okay, let's turn around immediately now and intercept that ship..."
