On land, the army of the Republic is fighting a tough war with the Hai Song Dynasty, but at sea, Zhao Weiguo's ship-building technology is simply not complimentary, and the Ming Dynasty took away not only gold, silver and jewelry, but also the only dock and technicians in Shanghai that can build a 3,000-ton ironclad ship. So much so that what is it that the republic is now floating on the sea?

The displacement is about 50 tons, the speed is 11 knots, and the sampan gunboat equipped with a three-boat machine gun can only resist the five-level wind, what is the concept of the five-level wind, the wind power of the thunderstorm in the summer on land is the four-level wind, and it is not excluded that there are local seven-level gales, and there are many obstacles on the land, so under the same weather conditions, the sea is one level stronger than the land, so this gunboat is a pure yellow water navy, and there is no long-distance sailing ability at all. However, at this time, on the sea east of the Shandong Sea, the Hai Song fleet that had completed the escort rushed over violently, and the navy of the Republic could not stop it at all, the latest capital ship of the Hai Song Dynasty, with a displacement of 15,630 tons and a speed of 21 knots, as for the armor or something, needless to say, the machine gun or something would definitely not be able to penetrate. The fact that Zhao Weiguo is still a major is fully exposed here.

Well, Zhao Weiguo's gunboat bullied the sail battleship at most. seems to understand the situation of his own navy, and Zhao Weiguo's order to his own navy is: "If you encounter an enemy who cannot fight, you can run aground." Destruction of the telegraph codebook. "Hai Song's warship design is very scientific, the first generation of Hai Song's veterans from the future has not taken any detours in the development of warships at all, and the monster of the seven turrets did not appear in the battle sequence of Hai Song, which led to the fact that Hai Song's battleships are designed from generation to generation, and the models are very unified.

In Jiaozhou, Shandong, the seagulls on the horizon seemed to be frightened by the spectacular scene on the sea, and the battleships like steel mountains floated over, and the huge battleships were on the verge of landing on the landing strip 50 kilometers away from Weihaiwei, Shandong. The nine battleships of the South Sea region and the twelve battleships of the North Pacific region escorting Yongcheng lined up in a unified formation on the sea surface, and then turned around, the 10,000-ton battleship rubbed white waves on the sea surface, and the smoke column of the battleship's boiler rushed into the sky.

Haisong's Grand Fleet was dispatched. Target: Shandong Peninsula. These two months can also be regarded as the disgusting mine warfare for the Republican Army, and Hai Song is ready to deal with this matter, when the war in the Northeast falls into an intermission. Hai Song decided to fight a landing battle on the Shandong Peninsula.

As in the demonstration, although there were no military targets in the landing zone, the captain of the fleet of Hai Song gave the order to bombard, and the steel behemoth of the sea opened fire on the shore with its own 280 mm heavy guns in half a minute, under the command of telegrams and flags. These floating steel buildings, due to the rapid explosion of explosives roaring loud sound, the entire steel ship, the moment of fire, trembled. The seawater that slapped on the steel armor was bounced into tiny droplets in an instant.

However, this magnificence is Hai Song's, but the pain is borne by the people on land, Hai Song's fleet commander Sun Bin is the commander of this fleet, he is not a veteran, he took this position is purely a role in military exploitation, eleven years ago, in the war with the Ottoman Empire over the right to extract oil in Kuwait, this general sank all the twelve 3,000-ton to 5,000-ton ironclad ships purchased by the Ottoman Empire from Europe. At the same time, the entire Ottoman villages were shelled along the coastline. A month later, by the way, three European ironclads were "sunk by mistake". This guy's bad habit is to like to shell villages after the end of fleet battles.

However, now that he has brought this habit here, for the Republican Army, although Hai Song is also a republic, it is a republic of a large group of elites, and for this group of elites, the clay legs of the Republican Army are born as the original sin. And Sun Bin is even more so, in his eyes, the fishermen who have defected to the Republican Army on these coastlines must have the consciousness of untouchables.

A village has completely disappeared, instantly turned into a moon-like crater under the concentrated fire of more than a dozen battleship large-caliber shells, not even a single corpse has been left, most of the people in the village have been evacuated, leaving only some defenseless old men, but under the most powerful war machine of this era, it will not die well.

After the battleship shelling, a large number of landing ships docked on the beach, and a large number of Hai Song soldiers, carrying combat equipment, jumped onto the beach step by step, without any hindrance. Lu Ming, the commander of the military district of the Republican Army, did not think that Hai Song, with the fire support of the battleships, had any strength to stop him.

The news that Shandong was landed by Haisong was transmitted to Zhengzhou with the radio waves. Zhao Weiguo's face is gloomy, or in the early stage of development, a world superpower came over and fought with you, what kind of spirit is this? The difficulty of this nation-building has been invisibly elevated. Especially Zhao Weiguo understood that the real enemy was still smiling secretly at this time. The group of people from the American continent, after the assassination, began to sit on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, watching themselves single-handedly take on the big boss of this plane. Stealing fun. In this case, he couldn't just run over and say to Hai Song: "I'm not the only one who came to cross." There are also enemies in the Americas. ”

Evolution strictly prohibits officers from revealing the identity of the crossing, even if someone in this plane guesses and suspects, but they can't admit it, as long as they don't admit it, it will always be a suspicion. This is also the problem that Zhao Weiguo and Ren Di's side have a headache now. The people in the Americas pretended to be grandsons, and they pretended to be even more thorough than Zhao Weiguo a few years ago. All kinds of materials are sold to Haisong without increasing in price. Occasionally put forward several industrial technologies that are conducive to the war, and now Hai Song is obviously red-eyed, and he can't remind Hai Song to pay attention to the future situation, of course, Zhao Weiguo Ren Di and his gang don't know, and now Hai Song's group of veterans think they have mastered the future development. Obviously, Hai Song is now coming over with a large army, and there is obviously a problem in judgment.

Since the two sides were completely exposed, Zhao Weiguo has paid attention to the bastards hiding in the Americas from time to time. Looking at the technical parameter requirements for weapons that Ren Di kept handing over from Northeast China, Zhao Weiguo was a little upset.

"Knock knock" Li Ziming knocked on the door and came in. After the two sides sat down, Zhao Weiguo said: "The situation of this task is very complicated now. Li Ziming said: "You mean another wave of people sent by evolution? Zhao Weiguo said: "I am basically sure that they are in the Americas. When Li Ziming heard this, he sighed and said, "America!?" Then he said with a limited and ugly face: "That is to say, our current promotion task will be as simple as building a country under the pressure of the world?" ”

Zhao Weiguo produced a survey showing the Great Lakes and the rapid rise of industrial centers in the four regions of New York on the West Coast since 1702. Among them is the most expensive heavy industry. Li Ziming looked at this information, took a breath of cold air and said, "Base!" Zhao Weiguo nodded and said, "That's right, it's the base." He then added: "In 1704 there was electricity at these three bases. Li Ziming was shocked again after hearing this. Electricity is not a simple thing, the generator structure can be made, but if it is really to be used on a large scale, direct current must not work, it must be alternating current that can be pressurized. Transformer silicon steel smelting is now Zhao Weiguo can't do it, and Zhao Weiguo in the colonial era can't push science and technology to the electricity age in 20 years. The transformer is only one of them, some of the industrial facilities in the Great Lakes region use hydropower, some are directly connected to thermal power, and the technical content of thermal power steam generator sets is also very high.

Everyone knows that the boiling point of water is that the higher the boiling point at the higher the pressure. This is true for boiling water and undercooked rice and pressure cookers, but as the pressure continues to increase and the temperature of the water reaches 374 °C, the water reaches this temperature, which is actually no longer waiting to boil from liquefaction to vaporization, but water vapor compressed to water density. Therefore, directly heating water above 374°C is supercritical technology. The use of this technology can greatly improve the efficiency of coal utilization and increase the power generation power. This technology is equivalent to directly conducting the energy of coal combustion to a supercritical water vapor of several hundred degrees to propel machinery. And the direct diesel engine in the air diesel blasting to produce explosive gas is an energy level, and the ability to last for a long time, this kind of steam engine is just the energy of the flame directly and violently added to the water, hundreds of degrees under normal air pressure is already the ignition point of most combustibles. Therefore, at the end of the twentieth century, some large warships in China were still using steam engines, while American battleships in World War II changed from steam engines to diesel engines that burned heavy oil. It seems that China has stopped too much in terms of mechanical types. In fact, the machinery of the same name in the two eras is very different.

So don't think that thermal power generation is a boiler that uses steam to push the runner, and the water vapor of China's thermal power stations in the 21st century is heated to a high temperature of 600 °C (more than 580 °C is ultra-supercritical). High-temperature and pressure-resistant steel is a great knowledge. The Great Lakes people went directly to thermal power, although it is not clear whether these people have reached the use of supercritical power generation technology (Zhao Weiguo estimates that 80% of them are not). That means a situation where these guys are very skilled in boiler steel and have the ability to build battleships.

Li Ziming understands these techniques. The whole industrial technology is interrelated, and the level of its development can be seen from the degree of a certain aspect. In the past, the foundation of the era when Zhao Weiguo came was too low to engage in these technologies. As for now, I have the conditions to do it, but I find that I am too far behind in this promotion task.

Zhao Weiguo said: "You go to the Northeast. Li Ziming paused for a moment and said: "I can't cope with the battle situation in the Northeast, don't blame me if it collapses." Zhao Weiguo said: "It's not for you to seize power, take a look at the situation in the Northeast, and tell Ren Di about the new situation of this task." He's just come out of the novice quest and doesn't know much about evolved teamfights. Li Ziming said: "The sooner the Northeast Campaign ends, the better? Zhao Weiguo said: "The recovery of the Northeast is the lowest bottom line, and other strategic goals can be postponed." ”

Li Ziming: "Can you explain the point?" Zhao Weiguo said: "If on the premise of ensuring victory, it is best to end the battle quickly, even if it costs a little militarily, the loss can be greater." Li Ziming: "I understand." ”
