Lin Fei, who is familiar with all kinds of weapons and equipment, knows very well that armor fragmentation shells appeared in the sixties of the twentieth century in his own era, in fact, this kind of armor fragmentation effect has been explained very early, and the reason why the real thing appeared so late is entirely because the performance of explosives cannot keep up.

Explosives are divided into high and low levels according to the explosive power, the lowest explosives are black powder, the intermediate ones are nitroglycerin, nitrocellulose, the higher ones are picric acid, TNT, and the higher ones are Black Sokin, Octojin, etc., the explosives filled in the armor fragmentation bullet have an explosion power that must be black Sonjin level, and if the armor fragmentation bullet is filled with TNT explosives, it will not have the effect of breaking the armor at all.

In Lin Fei's era, the armor fragmentation bullet was filled with black sojin explosives, which far exceeded the explosive power of TNT, and this kind of explosives had low cost and excellent comprehensive performance, which could be called the "king of explosives" in Lin Fei's era.

"Can I get Black Sorkin out then?" Lin Fei called an attendant while thinking about it, and said, "Go and invite Minister Ling Xue here." ”

The attendant promised to go out, and Ling Xue came to Lin Fei's office after a short time, and Lin Fei asked directly, "Xue'er, how is the organic chemical research in the chemical plant going?" ”

The black Suojin explosives need to be manufactured by organic chemicals, so Lin Fei asked, Ling Xue shook his head and said, "How can the pre-research of organic chemicals be carried out?" ”

Lin Fei frowned and said, "The research on electron tubes has begun, why hasn't the research on organic chemistry started?" ”

Ling Xue heard the meaning of reproach from Lin Fei's words, and said aggrievedly: "The production task of the chemical plant is very heavy, brother, you have expanded the infantry, and also established artillery, the infantry needs bullets, grenades, and artillery need shells, these things all need propellants and explosives." ”

"There is also my brother's hydraulic recoiling machine, the liquid in it is made of oil, and the chemical plant has to pump out the capacity to produce the liquid, and the workers are not busy at all, and the workers in the chemical plant have canceled all their vacations and work overtime, so the artillery shell factory and the bullet factory are still vigorously urging the ...... of propellants and explosives."

"Oh, that's right." Lin Fei saw that Ling Xue was more and more aggrieved the more she spoke, so he interrupted her, Ling Xue snorted and said, "You are so partial, you don't know how to be considerate at all." ”

After Ling Xue finished speaking, she turned her head away, not looking at Lin Fei, she was making a little temperament, and wanted Lin Fei to come over to coax her, during this time, Lin Fei was busy with military affairs and government affairs, and rarely had time to accompany her, but after a while, Ling Xue didn't see Lin Fei come to coax her, and couldn't help but think in her heart, I just slammed the door and left, he will definitely come to coax me.

Ling Xue made up her mind, and was just about to slam the door to leave, she secretly glanced at Lin Fei, but found that Lin Fei's brows were tightly locked, and he seemed to have encountered extremely difficult things, so he felt sad for a while, and hurriedly walked up to Lin Fei and asked softly, "Brother, what's wrong with you?" ”

Lin Fei sighed and said: "The Spaniards built a strong fortress, and also equipped the fortress with a Maxim heavy machine gun, I want to make a weapon called 'Armor Fragmentation Bullet' to deal with these fortresses, and organic chemical products are needed to make armor fragmentation bullets, but organic chemicals have not developed, and there is no way to manufacture armor fragmentation bullets." ”

When Ling Xue heard Lin Fei say this, she couldn't help but regret that she had just made a little temperament, but she couldn't help, so she could only stand aside, at a loss, then Lin Fei suddenly raised his head and said, "You just said that the chemical plant is pumping out production capacity to produce liquid, right?" ”

Ling Xue nodded, Lin Fei suddenly laughed, and said, "I have a way..."

Ling Xue also looked happy and asked, "Brother, what have you thought of?" ”

Lin Fei said: "The way I thought of dealing with the enemy fortress before was to blow it up from the outside, in fact, I can completely adjust my thinking, not to bomb the fortress, only to bomb the people inside." ”

Ling Xue was shocked for a moment and asked, "Don't blow up the fortress, only the people inside?" What does that mean? ”

Lin Fei said: "Isn't the chemical plant producing liquid withdrawal now? The oil used to produce the defanation is fractionated from petroleum, and there is something called 'gasoline' that I can use to make a 'cloudburst bomb'..."

Ling Xue asked in surprise, "'Cloud Burst Bomb'?" What's that? ”

Lin Fei explained: "The ordinary grenade body is filled with explosives, the cloud burst bomb is filled with liquid fuel, the ordinary grenade has only one detonator, the cloud burst bomb has a primary detonator and a secondary detonator, when the cloud burst bomb explodes, the primary detonator explodes first, diffusing the liquid fuel into the air, and then the secondary detonator explodes, igniting these liquid fuels, the liquid fuel burns violently, not only can burn the enemy to death, but also consume a lot of oxygen, suffocating the enemy alive." ”

The more Lin Fei spoke, the more excited he became, although Ling Xue didn't understand what he understood, he also became excited, and said, "Brother, hurry up and say how to make it, I'll organize people to make it." ”

Lin Fei then wrote down the manufacturing method and the materials needed, and went to the arsenal with this document, gathered the craftsmen, and deployed the relevant matters.

Lin Fei found a way to deal with the fortress, and got rid of the last piece of heart to attack Manila, so he began to determine the plan to attack Manila according to the information sent back by Wang Yao, which took another period of time, during this time, on May 18, the Tianlong ship and the Yunlong ship completed the final outfitting and carried out fully equipped sea trials.

From May 18th to 29th, the Tianlong and Yunlong ships completed the sea trials of full equipment and officially entered active service, Lin Fei immediately established the first fleet of the Chinese Empire, personally served as the commander of the fleet, appointed the Tianlong ship as the flagship of the fleet, appointed Liu Daming as the captain of the Tianlong ship, Bi Fang as the captain of the Yunlong ship, and Yu Xier was appointed as the deputy commander of the fleet and the chief technical officer of the fleet.

Lin Fei also incorporated these two warships into the First Fleet of the Chinese Empire, appointing Shangguan Yunlong as the captain of the Nuwa ship, and Gao Longcheng, another student with excellent grades, as the captain of the Pangu ship.

On May 30, Lin Fei gathered all the military commanders of the army and navy together and held a military meeting to announce the deployment of the attack on Manila.

Lin Fei first said at the meeting: "Brothers, before announcing the deployment of the attack on Manila, I would like to talk about the situation in Taiwan. ”

Everyone listened attentively, and Lin Fei said in a heavy tone: "On the 24th of this month, Emperor Meiji of Japan appointed the head of the Navy Command Department...... Lieutenant General Shikiki Kayama was the governor of Taiwan and led the Japanese army to invade Taiwan; On the 25th of this month, the people of Taiwan announced the establishment of the "Democratic State of Taiwan", hoping to resist the Japanese invasion. ”

"On the 28th of this month, the Japanese Guards Division, under the command of Prince Nohisa of Kita-Shirakawa Palace, arrived at Haikou in Taipei, preparing to attack Taiwan, Taiwan's three million compatriots are about to be ravaged by the Japanese army, for this reason, we must do our best to take Manila, occupy Luzon, and protect our compatriots and the land left to us by our ancestors..."

Everyone's faces showed an angry look, Lin Fei unfolded a map, pointed to the map and said, "Everyone, please look, this is the map of the Philippines, and Manila is in this location......"

Lin Fei said and pointed to the map with his hand, and then said: "To attack Manila, we have three ways to choose, the first one, land from the south side of Manila, and then go all the way north, this road is not a good way, because Luzon Island is inaccessible, there are no decent roads, all muddy dirt roads, not suitable for long-distance marches, let alone for transporting food and ammunition, so we can't take this road." ”

"The second is to land on Ramon Bay on the east side of Manila, after landing in Ramon Bay, our army needs to march more than 100 kilometers west to reach Manila, Samar Island is more than 500 kilometers away from Ramon Bay, and there is no island in the middle as an advance base, so it is not a good choice to march from Ramon Bay."

"The third way is to march directly from Manila Bay, which is also my preferred route of march, I have previously sent troops to operate Mindoro Island, and with the help of the natives on the island, Mindoro Island can already be used as our forward base, so we will use Mindoro Island as a base and take Manila Bay directly."

Staff officer Li Tianqian said at this time: "Your Majesty, please think twice, a direct attack on Manila Bay needs to pass through the island of Corregido, which is known as the 'throat of death', and the enemy forces on the island have deployed a large number of shore defense heavy artillery......"

Liu Daming said loudly at this time: "What is so terrible about the heavy artillery of shore defense? Aren't our Sky Dragon Ships and Cloud Dragon Ships having Vulcan cannons? The rate of fire is much faster than that of their shore defense heavy artillery, and they bombard them and blow them all out. ”

Li Tianqian frowned and said: "I once heard His Majesty mention that naval artillery can't beat the shore defense heavy artillery no matter what, and using the Tianlong ship and the Yunlong ship to attack the shore defense heavy artillery is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. ”

Liu Daming's eyes widened, and he said angrily: "Staff Officer Li, you haven't even been on a warship, where do you know what naval warfare ......?"

"Alright, don't say any more." Lin Fei interrupted Liu Daming's words, and then said: "What Staff Officer Li said is right, the coastal defense heavy artillery is placed on land, and there is no need to consider the suitability of the ship, so the caliber can be made very large, and it is indeed not a good idea for us to dispatch warships and coastal defense heavy artillery to bombard." ”

Liu Daming said: "Then what should we do? ”

Lin Fei said with a smile: "The Dark Sword has already obtained for us the distribution map of the defensive forces of Corregido Island, on this map, we are clear where there are enemy troops and where there are forts......

"What's the use of just knowing where they are? We're going to have to find a way to beat them... Tell me how we beat them? Liu Daming hurriedly asked.

Lin Feilang laughed loudly: "I bothered to try my best to get frogman equipment and form a frogman commando, not at this time, but when?" ”
