The reason why the Han Empire was able to build such a sailing giant ship from scratch with primitive human labor in just a few years was not only because of the abundant raw materials and the technical support given by the imperial age system. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The most important thing is that Zhao Dutian is in the Han Empire, and he can give an order and concentrate the strength of the whole country to support and build naval ships!

Unlike the shipyards of European countries, which have the participation of capitalists, the railways, military factories, naval shipyards, military academies, etc. of the Han Empire are all directly subordinate institutions of the empire and are directly responsible to Zhao Dutian!

Thanks to the mature technical support and the strict quality supervision of Jinyiwei's secret agents, these production units directly under the empire did not suffer from corruption and uneven quality.

As long as the supply of raw materials is sufficient, the imperial treasury only needs to pay a small amount of workers' salaries, and it does not require too many additional costs, after all, there is less part of the capitalists making money in the middle, and all military products are supplied to the imperial military at cost price, so that Zhao Dutian saves a lot of additional expenses!

Of course, although this method can save costs and improve efficiency, it lacks strong technological competitiveness, and it is difficult for the military industrial enterprises controlled by the empire to make new technological breakthroughs, and can only manufacture weapons and equipment produced with existing technology in large quantities!

However, for Zhao Dutian, who has the support of the Age of Empires system, this is not a problem at all, now that the armament technology of the Han Empire has been synchronized with the mainstream of the European powers, Zhao Dutian can also get better things through the lottery, even if there is no technical competitiveness, it doesn't matter!

It's a big deal, when the European powers develop good weapons, some of them are captured through war, and they can naturally be imitated, and the empire's ability to imitate is quite strong!

――――

The nascent naval fleet of the Han Empire has just been reorganized and perfected, and this is the first time to fight, so even in terms of ship size, one Jinshan can crush the sail gunboats of the Kingdom of Spain, but Zhao Dutian is still a little worried about the outcome of this naval battle......

Most of the main fleet of the Kingdom of Spain was in the Atlantic Ocean and the European mainland, which was used against the British Navy!

Therefore, the few sail gunboats deployed by the Kingdom of Spain in Oregon are nothing more than some obsolete and outdated things, used to bully the natives of the Han Empire who were mistakenly thought to have zero naval strength!

However, even if these sail gunboats are outdated, they are still sail battleships with two gun decks and nearly 50 guns!

With more than 20 guns on one side of this type of battleship, and the caliber is often larger than the army's field artillery, it is no wonder that the army artillery of the Han Empire had a hard time firing at them......

In fact, ship-based artillery is often better than land field artillery or even fortress artillery, and this continued until the 20th century, until the popularization of aircraft carriers, naval artillery was the existence of land cannons!

After the popularization of aircraft carriers, the matter of bombing will be handed over to aircraft missiles, and artillery and other things will naturally withdraw from the stage of history......

This also caused it to be difficult for coastal cities to resist the bombardment of naval guns when they completely lost their sea dominance and did not have strong shore defense batteries!

With the development of science and technology, this phenomenon is becoming more and more obvious, especially in the competition for those islands, after losing the right to control the sea, no matter how much the land forces on the islands can fight, they will not be able to escape the fate of defeat......

The captain on the Jinshan, that is, the newly established naval colonel of the Han Empire, is naturally also a systematic Han person, this person is actually just a systematic Han who knows a little about maritime affairs, but he is very talkative, and he has never blushed with anyone in the officialdom of the Han Empire.

Of course, this point does not become the key factor for him to get this naval captain, and there is another reason why Zhao Dutian appointed him, this person's name is very festive, called Jin Manduo......

The Jinshan is paired with Jin Manduo, and Zhao Dutian's bad taste is not enough for outsiders......

In the training and study, he desperately learned from the naval examples of European countries, these examples of war through the British ambassador, Zhao Dutian easily got into his hands, these things are not secrets, even if the British ambassador does not give them, the secret service can buy them with a little more effort!

Jin Manduo looked at the giant ship Jinshan under him, and then looked at the five much smaller tier 4 frigates that were moving forward side by side, his eyes were full of excitement!

Although he has about zero experience in naval warfare, he is at most a naval commander on paper, but this time his fleet crushed the navy of the Kingdom of Spain with an absolute advantage!

The navy is different from the army, the army needs tactics, morale, weapons, terrain, discipline and other factors to win, the navy is much simpler, only need two points, to see whose ship has more guns, and then to see which side of the gunner can shoot the accurate and fast shot!

In the era of smoothbore guns and sail warships, the difference in the range of artillery was not large, unless it was against the navies of the weaker countries in the Eastern world......

Therefore, the naval battles of European countries in this period mainly depend on whose ships have more artillery!

The reason why the Spanish Armada lost the battle with most of the ships was mainly because the Spanish Armada was still stuck in the fixed tactical routine of broadside warfare, and the range of the guns of the Spanish fleet at that time was far inferior to the new artillery of the British, and the tactically backward artillery could not hit the British, and it was defeated by the British Navy by using the superiority of naval artillery, which is very understandable......

As for the rumors that the Spanish fleet was defeated by wind and waves, it is a bit exaggerated, the Armada did lose some ships due to the storm, but compared to the number sunk by the British ships, it is a drop in the bucket!

Of course, now the European countries have been beaten to their senses, knowing that naval warfare is still a powerful thing to bombard with shells!

What's more, this time, Jinmanduo's ship shells are all advanced explosive shells, which have not yet been popularized in the navies of European countries!

In Eureka City, the port controlled by the Spaniards suddenly sounded a warning gong, and the Spanish naval personnel, through the early morning mist, saw 6 warships slowly approaching in the distance!

The golden dragon flag hanging on it is a little weird, which makes the Spanish naval soldiers scratch their heads, which country's military flag is this?

But they don't need to know about these issues, they just need to know that this flag does not belong to the Kingdom of Spain!

Obviously, the Kingdom of Spain did not know that the Han Empire already had a navy, and the dense spy network of Jinyiwei within the Han Empire made it difficult for spies from European countries to peek into the military intelligence inside the empire!

Naturally, the Spaniards could not find out about the Han Empire's possession of a navy!
