Chapter 621 - Aluminum Ship Plan with Ying

It is precisely because there is a precedent that the "Sheffield" will be burned and finished, so the Ming Navy only uses a small amount of aluminum alloy materials as internal structural components.

Overall, the effect of weight loss is not very significant.

Of course, 110 years later, the British who made this mistake did not know how aluminum, especially inferior aluminum, behaved under seawater corrosion and shelling.

They are secretly building a purpose-built aluminum-armored ship as a secret weapon against the German and Ming navies.

This is the main project promoted by Sir Churchill, who discovered the wonderful use of aluminum after Daming participated in the Olympic Games, and now has to be called Prime Minister Churchill.

Concentrate the pitiful aluminum production capacity of the whole Great Britain, and secretly smelt the aluminum pots, aluminum shovels, and aluminum spoons sold by the Tyrant, and save a few super fast ships with a speed of more than 20 knots per hour.

Because it was built in Portsmouth, this plan is also known as the Portsmouth Plan.

The British thought that their secret shipbuilding program was perfect and secretive.

But in fact, Da Ming already knew it.

The steel production of the British is indeed terrifying, reaching a terrible value of 0.1 Tangshan Iron and Steel Plant this year.

More than Germany, France, Russia, Austria and Austria combined.

However, their aluminum production is not satisfactory, only comparable to Germany, and completely incomparable with the Ming Dynasty.

The production of electrolytic aluminium requires a lot of electricity.

The agents of the Ming Dynasty only need to guess the expansion rate of the coal-fired power plant with the British coal by the change in the smog level of London, and then they can guess the growth of their aluminum production.

With so much precious electricity used to make aluminum, the answer is on the horizon.

They couldn't have built an aluminum plane before the Ming Dynasty, right?

If Daiying has this strength, Zhu Fugui will have to seriously consider Victoria's sister-in-law's proposal for G2.

In addition, because of the previous stock market crash, it led to an unprecedented financial crisis in the United Kingdom.

Although they could alleviate the crisis by squeezing the colonies, the coal-fired power plants unsurprisingly shut down.

According to The Times, there was a rare improvement in air quality in the city this summer.

It wasn't until September that the air in London became visibly grey again.

The number of deaths due to respiratory diseases is also increasing rapidly.

Quite a few people are starting to complain about the damn weather.

These data are first-hand information from Daming agents.

In short, Da Ming's idea of building ships and taking Ying is not exactly the same, but Da Ming will definitely not be wrong, after all, when it comes to copying homework, Zhu Fugui really hasn't been afraid of anyone.

At 9:20 a.m., the commander of the Dingyuan warship waved the flag, and the ship's radio stations maintained communication.

The Ming Royal Army, the first phase of the "Return of the Great Sage" military exercise of the three armed forces, the "Dinghai Shen Needle" operation, officially began.

In the operation of "Dinghai Shenzhen", 70% of the Shenzhou Commander, 50% of the Pacific Commandery, 60% of the Northern Yin Commandery, 50% of the Atlantic Command, and 80% of the Southern Yindu Command Envoy (a Spanish sail battleship paid tribute by Hong Xiuquan's elder brother) were assembled.

Even the ships that did not participate because they were on duty, a chief officer boarded the Dingyuan and Zhenyuan ships as an observer to observe and study.

After all, compared with the British, or even the French, the actual combat experience of the Ming Navy is still too little.

In terms of experience, it is only stronger than the Germans, and not necessarily as rich as the Russians and Ottomans.

Of course, the Ottomans' maritime experience is also the experience of the last era.

With the advent of the era of ironclad giants, the broken ships of the old era have long been unable to carry the old empire.

In the operation "Dinghai Shenpin", the combined fleet of the Shenzhou and Indian Ocean Command Divisions commanded by Wang Zhonghuang acted as the attackers to simulate breaking through the regional suppression blockade line of the Atlantic, Northern Yin, and Southern Yin Command Fleets commanded by Morishita.

This division of labor is due to the fact that the strategic objectives of each major theater are different.

The first two are commanded by the envoy to be more attack-oriented, and the last three are more defensive.

The course of the exercise was also very exciting.

Knowing that Morishita likes to be adventurous and surprising, and has the character of attacking instead of defending, Wang Zhonghuang set a plan to loosen the outside and tighten the inside, fight steadily and steadily, and catch turtles in the urn.

Creates the illusion of fatigue in the early attack, and exposes flaws in the flanks, repeatedly seducing.

Morishita tried cautiously a few times, and after tasting the sweetness, he was really fooled, and the fast ship did his best, hoping to defeat the opponent in one fell swoop.

However, the fast ship group, which lost the cover of the two giant ships of Shenzhou and North Yinzhou, quickly fell into the trap carefully woven by the attacker, and was finally annihilated by the referee's judgment.

After this battle, Morishita hurriedly shrank the battle line, took advantage of radio communication, and micro-manipulated the formation, and was stunned to catch the gap before Wang Zhonghuang's main force broke through, and used the two big meat shields of Shenzhou and Beiyinzhou to withstand the gap.

The game ended in a stalemate, with the referee judging a draw.

However, just as in a draw in chess, the first move is often judged to fail, as a defender, the first move has an advantage, and in the event of a draw, it will naturally be judged a loss.

"Brother Wang! Three! ”

On the Dingyuan, Morishita gave a fist-hugging military salute to Emperor Wang Zhonghuang, and then said in a strange accent, "Foolish brother is embarrassed, brother's tactics are very rigid, lose to Brother Wang, brother is not good!" ”

Wang Zhonghuang was stunned for a long time, and even guessed what Morishita meant, knowing that he had made another mistake with his old problem.

The more people there are, the heavier his "Yunnan accent" will be.

Night school for so many years, Yayan Zhengyin was given in vain.

But there is no way, even if the Lord Long Live says about him, he has to go around his tongue and say that his native accent is difficult to change, please forgive Your Majesty.

That's an obsession, isn't it......

As an old friend and classmate, Wang Zhonghuang didn't have much to say.

"Brother Sen, when you and I were studying together in New York, Brother Fool's written test scores were always better than yours, but in practical classes and wargame classes, you were always better than me, which means that my brother's talent is far better than Brother Fool."

Wang Zhonghuang said with a smile, "But stupid people occasionally use tricks, like Zhang Fei to earn Yan Yan, it will indeed have a miraculous effect!" ”

The two brothers and sisters praised each other, and in the end, Zhu Dashuai made a comment on the exercise.

Of course, Zhu Fugui actually didn't understand the evolution of the battlefield, but some staff officers had already handed in their speeches.

The staff officer does not take the commander, and the fart does not make a sound.

These young people who graduated from the military theory major of Guozijian are almost per capita Zhao Kuo, and they will definitely cause trouble if they are put in charge of the front-line troops.

But they are definitely good at checking and filling in the gaps.

The ability to solve problems does not necessarily exist, but the ability to find problems does, and it is great.

These academics pointed out many omissions that had not been discovered by the parties involved in the cooperation of the ships of the two sides in the course of the operation, and put forward valuable suggestions.

As long as the officers and men on the front line find a way to solve these problems, the level of coordination of surface forces in the joint operations of the theater will certainly be raised to a new level.

Of course, it seems like a fart to take off your pants and fart.

This is because if we want to ensure the Navy's cross-theater joint operations, it is much simpler and more effective to abolish the theater and restore the command of the Navy Headquarters.

But in reality, it's a must.

This is because the second exercise is to break down the barriers between the services and realize the coordinated operation of the sea and land.

Part of the Ming naval fleet returned to their respective bases, and part of it sailed to the Ming Tianjinwei, also known as the Ming Lijian Lend-Lease.

After resting there for two days, the second phase of "The Return of the Great Sage", "Yuyu Clarification", and the third stage, "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace", will unfold in turn.
