The command of the naval operations of the Lingxiao fleet, Huacai has been handed over to the Angry Sea Battle. After the battle order of the Qingzhou General's Mansion was issued, the warships of the Lingxiao Combined Fleet in Dingyuan Port began to move towards the Langya Sea area, and the warships of the Combined Fleet scattered in the Pacific Ocean were also on their way back to the port.

There are rumors within the Lingxiao United Fleet: I heard that Gangzi Boss won the right to publish the mission, the Lingxiao Fleet and the Jimo Fleet are both family, this feat is not just how to brush, this time I will never leave without brushing the title of general.

All the members of the Combined Fleet were happily rushing back.

In the Jimo Navy Admiral's Mansion, Gangzi and Cui Shi quarreled.

"My lord, this mission to deliver a letter really can't give 10,000 merits."

After receiving the appointment of the General's Palace, Gangzi, who was wearing the vest of "Commander-in-Chief of the Reserve Fleet of the Qingzhou Maritime Attack Fleet", immediately gave himself a task of delivering a letter. But the task needs to be released through Cui Shi, and Cui Shi refused righteously after receiving the task commission from Gangzi.

"Why can't you give 10,000 merits, this task of sending a letter is extremely important, there can't be any difference on the road, and the mission timeliness is extremely limited, the military situation is urgent, it must be delivered within a minute, even if the mission fails, such a harsh task limit, almost no one can complete it, is it a lot to give 10,000 merits?"

Gangzi argued with reason, but Cui Shi was still unmoved: "My lord! You only have the authority to publish tasks, and the general is responsible for how to rate and reward tasks. ”

Seeing Cui Shi's upright and impartial appearance, Gangzi turned to smile and said: "Brother Cui, as soon as this gate is closed, we are our own family, the younger brother has won many meritorious deeds, and the military rank is urgent and fast, you are not the same as the rising tide." ”

Cui Shi was puzzled: "Brother, my family must be taken care of." But your task is really ......, and you really can't declare it to the top as a brother, or give 100 merits, it's earned for nothing anyway. ”

"Alas...... Well, no matter what, the younger brother can't embarrass the eldest brother, 100 is 100. ”

Thinking that 10,000 merits had become 100, Gangzi heartbroken and handed a letter on the table to Cui Shi.

"Ding! You complete the mission of delivering a letter issued by the commander of the reserve fleet of the Qingzhou Sea Attack Fleet, Gang Zi Zhonglang, and you will be rewarded with 100 meritorious deeds. ”

The merit that can be obtained by sinking a brig battleship is just sent out, is it really okay to be such a blatant fake public benefit? Cui Shi suddenly felt his own fall, "If only there was nothing wrong with my lord. I went to the shipyard to prepare for the fleet's return to port for overhaul. ”

Gangzi Meizizi accepted the 100 merits, and then took out a stack of envelopes and put them on the table: "Brother Cui go slowly, and the younger brother still has a hundred letter delivery tasks ready to be released." ”

Coming out of the Admiral's Mansion of the Jimo Navy, behind him was the tall gate of the Admiral's Mansion, and Cui Shi felt that he would definitely go to hell after he died.

And after being satisfied with the merits of a hundred times, Gangzi finally began to deal with the military affairs of the reserve fleet of the Qingzhou Sea Attack Fleet.

The battle of the Nuhai Sea has received the task of advancing to the Langya sea area with a part of the warships, and has begun to control the coastal area of Langya County, Xuzhou, and to do the pre-work for the landing of the Qingzhou army.

After the main force of the Donglai Fleet on the north bank of Qingzhou began to attack Jizhou by the Youzhou Army, a part of the warships followed the Liaodong Fleet to attack the Jinmen Fleet. The other large part began to move south under the leadership of Wei Yu, preparing to destroy the sea power of Guangling together with the Hangzhou fleet of the Yangzhou Navy.

The Jimo fleet is still on the way back to Hong Kong, and the entire fleet needs to be overhauled and replenished, and it will take some time to put it into the naval battle of Guangling.

Anyway, if the division of Xuzhou is not completed on land, Yangzhou will not turn against Qingzhou on the sea. Gangzi, who has just eaten up for meritorious service, can't look down on those petty profits who escort the Qingzhou Army. Let's just give it all to the angry sea battle.

So Gangzi, who had nothing to do for the time being, pushed all the military affairs to Cui Shi and plunged into the Jimo Shipyard by himself.

Gangzi, who had all the shipbuilding drawings and materials of the giant treasure ship, did not build the giant treasure ship, because the drawings were just like that, and once they were built, they would disappear. Although Gangzi has a backup of shipbuilding drawings through the shooting function. It can be used for future study, but Gangzi is still worried about any omissions and insists on keeping the original drawings.

With the opponents that the Jimo fleet may encounter now, there is no need for giant treasure ships to attack. The most important thing now is to quickly turn the Daifuku ship into a battleship. It is reported that Hugh Hobert, the fleet admiral of the Divine Light Legion of the United States, a real-life super-rich man who spent hundreds of millions of gold coins on one of his henchmen to study ship design, has successfully designed a three-masted sailing ship, which is not good news for the rival Jimo fleet in the Pacific.

Gangzi is also rich now, but he can't be willful compared to Hugh Hobert, and if he can't fight Brother Qian, he will fight for technology.

The drawings of the Dahan five-level battleship, the drawings of the Dafu ship, the drawings of the giant Fu ship, and the drawings of the transformation of the giant treasure ship, these four drawings of the hard sailing ship are an important basis for Gangzi to turn the Dafu ship into a battleship, especially the drawings of the transformation of the giant treasure ship, which is simply the guiding light of the hard sailing ship battleship.

In fact, long before the discovery of the ash island, Gangzi had done the preliminary work of the Daifuku ship warship, what was missing was the suitable hard sail, and now the fire bamboo collected from the fire eye of the fire island has been transported to the Jimo shipyard, and the new hard sail is being processed, Gangzi's job is to improve the transformation of the Daifuku ship, especially how to achieve the retention of the watertight cabin without the need for the elves to reprocess the ribs.

In order to retain the watertight cabin, the ship designers of the previous dynasty also reprocessed the ribs, and realized the toughening of the ribs by cutting the wood thinly and making toughness treatment respectively, and then pasting it. However, in order to maintain the rigidity of the ribs, the designers increased the thickness of the ribs, which took up a certain amount of load and space, so this rib treatment was only suitable for three-masted warships with sufficient hull space, while twin-masted warships could not use this technology.

The new rib technology will save a lot of elf manpower, and Gangzi decided to use this composite rib for all three-masted hard-sail warships, so the previous design of the Daifuku ship must also be changed because of the change of ribs.

In order to see the three-masted hard-sail battleship as soon as possible, she transferred three senior ship designers who were proficient in the design of the Daifuku ship from Donglai Shipyard to Gangzi, and Gangzi stuffed these people into the "native" studio, and Cui Shi's digging everywhere expanded the "native" studio to fifteen people.

So Gangzi didn't plan to spend money over and over again for the sake of technical secrecy, and test himself over and over again. Instead, he took the lead in forming the design of the Daifuku ship battleship, and he was not worried about the possible leakage of the transformation technology, because the key material for the construction of the hard-sail battleship - the bamboo was firmly in his hands, and anyone who wanted to build a hard-sail three-masted battleship in the future had to ask Gangzitong if he agreed.

The power of the group is indeed much faster than one person, each ship designer has his own place, some are responsible for the overall planning, some are responsible for the cabin layout, some are responsible for computational modeling, some are responsible for power construction, and Gangzi only needs to add his own speed concept to the hull design, although the impact of wave design on large ships has begun to weaken, but everyone will mind that their boat is a little faster.

So on the transformation drawings of Gangzi's original Daifuku ship, the new transformation drawings were quickly formed, and finally a perfect design drawing was placed in front of Gangzi.

Bamboo sails have also been made.

A Daifuku ship has sailed into the shipyard, and Tsuyoshi believes that a monumental battleship will come out of it in three days.

It takes three days to build or transform the three-masted battleship, and after Gangzi dealt with the transformation of the Daifuku ship, he set his sights on the Guangling battlefield.

The three sides attacked Xuzhou, and the land of Xuzhou was quickly lost. The Qingzhou Army successfully landed in the south of Langya and cut off all the connections between Langya County and Xuzhou, and then Qingzhou landed continuously from various places along the coast of Langya to occupy important places to divide the Xuzhou defenders in Langya County, and the Xuzhou Army in Langya County is surrendering in large numbers, and Qingzhou's occupation of Langya County has become a fact.

In the southern battlefield, Yangzhou defeated the Xuzhou Yangtze River Naval Division after a battle to cross the Yangtze River, successfully sent the army to the north bank of the Yangtze River, and began to attack Guangling County. The Xuzhou army of Guangling County desperately resisted the attack of the Yangzhou army, and the Guangling fleet and the Hangzhou fleet in the open sea of Guangling Port engaged in a fierce battle, and both sides invested as many as 35 three-masted warships. The Guangling Fleet, with its 15 three-masted warships and relying on the maintenance capabilities of Guangling Port, was evenly matched with the powerful Hangzhou Fleet, so that Yangzhou did not dare to risk a coastal landing operation.

However, the confrontation between the two sides ended with the arrival of the Donglai fleet, and the entry of ten three-masted battleships broke the balance between the two sides. Unwilling to trap the port, the Xuzhou Guangling fleet, which fought to the death in order to defend the coastal defense of Xuzhou, was finally wiped out by the combined fleet of Donglai and Hangzhou. Without the threat of the Guangling fleet, the Yangzhou army began to throw a large number of them into Guangling County by sea, and soon the Yangzhou army occupied Guangling and attacked Linhuai County.

The Qingzhou Army also joined forces with the Yanzhou Army to attack Donghai County after occupying Langya. The Donglai fleet marched northward and set up a defensive line along the southern coast of Langya County to guard against a possible attack by the Hangzhou fleet. After completing the protection of the landing force in Qingzhou, the Lingxiao fleet also assembled near the Donglai fleet to prepare for a possible naval battle.

At this time, the Jimo fleet had been completely repaired, and the "Kaiyang" and "Gaoyang" had not yet been delivered to the Lingxiao fleet and the Xingchen fleet, so Gangzi took eleven three-masted warships and a large number of Dahan fifth-class warships and high-speed dhows to swarm southward to join the Donglai fleet and the Lingxiao combined fleet.

As a result, the number of three-masted warships of the Qingzhou fleet reached 22 (two were sunk in the battle with the Guangling fleet), more than 200 two-masted warships, and more than 500 sloop-class warships, which filled a large area of the sea.

The Yangzhou fleet in the Guangling sea area is fifteen, plus the two white shark fleets with a total of seventeen three-masted warships, and the difference between other two-masted warships and sloop-class warships is not much. (To be continued.) )
