Chapter 164: Truth and Vision
The industrialization of a unified country in the East must not be compared with any other country in the Western world. Because the countries of the West are in competition with each other, there is a strong desire to implement technological innovation. Because if anyone lags behind among the nations, it will be a tragedy of war and the king being captured. The technology of one axle spring during the Anglo-French war made a huge difference between the two supply vehicles, and the British supply vehicles could transport supplies twice as fast as the French and could travel through farmland that the French supply vehicles could not travel. This small technological gap directly led to the defeat of France.
However, in the east, not to mention the power of war technology compared with China, the east, west, north and south are either barbarians in the jungle, or Yidi, who can't even produce iron in the north of the desert, and these forces are purely incomparable with the Central Plains in terms of technology. Even the result of the country's defeat was not that the emperor was captured, at most he made peace with his relatives and then provided a little money to appease him. Therefore, in the imperial era, the East has always relied on its size to bully the surrounding begging for food. Unlike the upper class of Europe, the upper class aristocrats have the motivation to climb the technology with all their might.
However, the various countries of Europe are doing their best to climb the technological process. Well, it should be said that at least it is more concerned about technology than the unified empire in the East. So in the normal axis of history, it makes sense that European war technology should be superior to the East. However, Ren Di has won too many times in that period of history, and there are so many that they are abnormal. Normally, the Central Plains Dynasty will definitely work hard after being beaten, but after all, the situation of a small clan facing a large country makes the upper ruling hesitate about the Westernization dominated by the Han people.
Huapan Technology is by no means an economic problem in Europe, but a matter of will. Ren Di will not follow this path of planned economic development in the future, but now Ren Di is sure that this path is definitely right to accumulate technology. Small European countries need to hesitate to choose a certain industry. In the past five years, the Republic has been full of tyrants and has begun to catch up with the various industrial projects currently developed by Haisong. So much so that now we have finally been able to achieve results in some systems.
system, it can be said that the standards of a single republic industry are still a bit of a gap for Haisong, but the combination of the entire standard under a system can form a product with advanced performance. In the industrial age, the performance of technological products is often determined not by the most advanced part, but by the most backward part. And the advanced parts can't be combined, and the performance is still not good. The scientific and technological development of Haisong is developed by the various industries of the 500 family. Each of them advanced in the business of each family, and then combined the techniques of each family in the time of war. This is the path of free development of the foundation first and then combination, but the republic is the opposite, first try to combine, if you can't combine, find out the reasons why you can't combine, and assign the task to each basic industry in detail, so that they can develop to the point where they meet the requirements. Therefore, the highest scientific and technological level of Haisong should be based on some individual projects, while the highest scientific and technological level of the Republic should be based on the overall project.
That year, ahem, it should be said that in 1717, a new fleet sailed out of the port of Haisong Australia, a group without a turret deck with an upturned nose and a large amount of anti-aircraft fire below the deck, with a total tonnage of 25,000 tons and a speed of 29 knots. A single ship can carry sixteen aircraft.
Aircraft carriers, Hai Song approved the construction of eight at one time, this kind of large warship, mainly the keel and other structural forgings, do not need to be like the battleship era tangled turret defense speed, nor do you need to consider the processing difficulty of super-large caliber guns against the sky. So the tonnage suddenly became larger. This is the latest effort by Hai Song to show off its sea power, and it is intended to tell certain countries that have the ability to build ships at sea not to try to compete with Hai Song in this field.
Huge propellers stirred the water and pushed the huge battleships out of the harbor, and the escort fleet of other warships formed a standard aircraft carrier battle group. The outer fleet acts as a mine for the aircraft carriers, and the aircraft carriers in the defense circle of the steel fleet take off planes to carry out over-the-horizon strikes against the enemy above the ocean. The evil path of super-giant battleships has been completely annihilated in the long river of history.
All the battleships painted in blue formed the Great Blue Fleet, determined to patrol the major colonies where the sun never sets. The first stop is heading straight north to Dongming. A grand air show was held in Tokyo Bay. In the sun, the gray painted swarm enters and exits from the white clouds, and the white cloud gas brought out by the wings,
The navy of Hai Song was established 70 years ago, starting from Qiongzhou Island, and fought with the Spaniards, the Dutch, and the British without losing a single defeat in the major naval powers of the time. Across oceans. Become a global force. Guide the tide of the development of the world's navies. And has always been the most advanced navy.
All classes of Dongming in the harbor came out to see this bustle. Of course, including the Dongming royal family, Yongcheng has now grown a beard. When they arrived in the Japanese archipelago, they were first confronted by a joint crusade by the armies of the daimyo from all over the country. and the challenge of forces that seem to be on the side of the Imperial Family. As a result, under the prediction of the Heavenly Daoist Sect, an earthquake was avoided, and the news that the ground movement needed to be suppressed by the emperor from Middle-earth was spread in advance, so that Dongming's regime was suddenly stabilized.
Standing on the high platform of this blue harbor, accept the aristocratic etiquette of the fleet commander of Hai Song, and inspect this large fleet. Of course, with Yongcheng is Her Royal Highness Princess Zhu Yuerong. Now Zhu Yuerong is married. It was the young legion commander of the Ming Empire who became the concubine of the Ming Imperial Family.
Chang Haisheng, commander of the Haisong fleet (Chang Shengchong's distant branch): "Your Majesty, we are here with a vision. Yongcheng smiled and said, "I'm looking forward to this vision." "This unprecedented armed parade was clearly for everyone to see the Republic. Hai Song is now in strategic containment, which is very much like the sovereignty of Taiwan and Hainan under the Eastern Ming Dynasty. This stay of this mighty fleet in the Asia-Pacific region was an armed demonstration against the Republic.
However, when everyone was smiling, Zhu Yuerong looked at the big fleet expressionlessly. Seeing the princess who had returned from the Republic of China with a look of suspicion at the Grand Fleet. Chang Haisheng smiled and said: "Her Royal Highness the princess expects peace, I think this time to release peace, if Her Royal Highness the princess comes forward, it should be able to get twice the result with half the effort." ”
Zhu Yuerong's slender fingers with white gloves shook slightly, then shook his head and said, "I swear not to set foot on that land." Yongcheng frowned and tried to persuade: "Sister, you think about it carefully." ”
Zhu Yuerong closed her eyes and said lightly: "All phenomena need to look at the essence. Then Zhu Yuerong's sharp gaze forced Chang Haisheng, the commander of the Hai Song fleet, and said, "Does Hai Song still have the determination to fight a war with the Republic?" Zhu Yuerong's sudden questioning made Chang Haisheng a little embarrassed. Chang Haisheng straightened his face and said: "We will strictly abide by the covenant and defend our rights and interests and those of our allies in the Asia-Pacific region at all costs." ”
With an unexpected smile on his face, Zhu Yuerong said: "If your fleet encounters an unexpected situation in the strait, do you have the determination to maintain this statement?" Yongcheng wanted to stop Zhu Yuerong from asking like this at this time. However, Zhu Yuerong waved her hand and said, "I'm not, a doll for political statements." I don't want to be a politician who needs to come out and put on a show, and if you don't have a clear will, please don't humiliate me. ”
Chang Haisheng's face stiffened. Zhu Yuerong's words were very polite. In the face of the republic, Hai Song really does not have a clear will now, and is completely tempting. Yongcheng diverted the topic, and the atmosphere of the meeting returned to harmony.
When the unprecedented cross-era fleet of the Hai Song Dynasty arrived in Dongming, the mainland of the Republic immediately sent a note to Li He, the ambassador of the Hai Song Dynasty to the Republic. A military restricted area for military exercises in the East China Sea was issued. Li He looked at the huge range demarcated on the sea, and said to Pang Tian with a smile: "The tonnage of your country's fleet does not seem to need such a large range. Pang Tian said with a smile: "Such a large area is for fear of causing additional attacks on ships that do not know the #truth." ”
Lihe laughed and said, "The current strength of your country's warships has advanced to this point. Our fleet needs a lot of fuel for a detour, and I hope that your country will understand. Pang Tian said with a smile: "Your Excellency, Ambassador, don't you want to know what kind of military exercise this is?" ”
When the fleet of the Haisong Dynasty Vision had just arrived in Dongming, the East China Sea military exercise codenamed "Truth" was announced. The train was on top alert, carrying weapons of war. Transported to the south, there is an average of 50 meters on both sides of the track where the train runs, and a soldier stands guard, looking at the "poplar trees". Quickly retreating from both sides of the train, Ren Di felt that Zhao Weiguo attached great importance to this East China Sea exercise.
The military industry experts who followed the train south waited anxiously for this military experiment. After this experiment, within the Yellow Water Range, the significance of land power will completely overwhelm the sea power represented by the fleet.
After getting off the train, Lu Ming, as the leader of the Nanjing Military Region, personally greeted Ren Di. The first sentence asks, "Did you get that kind of thing?" Ren Di said: "I personally process the gyroscope, and every precision instrument processing comes out of me." Lu Ming listened and said: "The logistics talent is really strong. Ren Di said: "Lu Ming, if you want data, I can give it to you now." I'm afraid later. Lu Ming waved his hand and said, "I can't remember such complicated things at my current level." It only makes sense that I will learn how to make firearms first. ”
Ren Di nodded and didn't say anything more? Transported from the train, a huge object 18 meters long and 1.6 meters in diameter was hoisted into the silo and began to be filled with hydrogen peroxide and alcohol. This fuel injection process takes five hours. This will be placed in the 21st century in the future, and such a slow launch process will have already been cleaned up by supersonic fighters, but at this time, the fighter jets of the Sky Republican Army will keep cruising in the sky for five hours.
This time, the Republic came up with 24 missiles at once, three of which were produced and assembled by the missile research and development department. And the rest is purely Ren Di softening the release of the force field, simplifying the difficulty of finishing. Cheating is mass-produced.
Li He, the elder of the Hai Song Dynasty, stood in a safe area five hundred meters away, holding a telescope and looking at these things made by the army of the republic. Li He did not have any concept of the word ballistic missile, but when the telegram was sent back, the Hai Song elders immediately asked Li He to immediately request to arrive at the launch site.
Lihe naturally understood the seriousness of the matter. The military experts who arrived from Hainan Island did not rest for a moment at all, and set off with the republic's maritime observation team. Seeing the appearance of such a large rocket, Lihe can be regarded as understanding what this military exercise codenamed "Truth" is. Something of this size was simply designed to destroy the port.
After receiving the news of the Republic's primary ballistic missile test, an emergency meeting was immediately convened, and two hundred senators gathered in the Senate to wait for news of the Republic, except for the senators who had something to do in other colonies. Ma Chen shouted: "The truth of the grass mud horse? Carrier battle groups should be quickly dispatched to blow up these test sites. Lonely Katsuo sneered and said: "Towards the #Xianduo Mountain Zone, will there be another launch position?" Now it is true that the range and bomb load of the ballistic weapons they have developed are being figured out as soon as possible. ”
Another patriarch said: "In other words, now the fleet is useless, is it?" Wen Lan said: "The fleet is not useless, but they are not a sea power country, and the direction of science and technology is not in the fleet." We should embark on our missile program and strike a balance. ”
Another veteran of Hai Song, who managed the industry, stood up and poured a basin of cold water and said: "Five years ago, it was you who said that you would build aircraft carriers to deter the republic, and now you are the ones who can't deter?" Now when it comes to missile weapons, have you considered industrial capacity? You're going to take that part of the industry out and start a new project. ”
Loud and noisy, large-scale sea experiments with this dimensional ballistic weapon began.
