Logistics is the guarantee of an army in battle! Especially in modern warfare, the use of all kinds of advanced thermal weapons has caused the troops to rely heavily on logistics supplies!

Therefore, at the very beginning of its establishment, the Huo Jiajun established a huge logistics force, but a Sino-US war exposed a large number of problems within the Huojia Army! The most serious of them was logistics and transportation!

In particular, maritime transportation has become an important factor restricting the strength of the Huo Jiajun. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Although a series of wars broke out with the Netherlands and Portugal over the East Indies before, I didn't feel it because of the proximity, but when the Sino-American war and the Huo Jiajun increased troops to the Americas across the vast Pacific Ocean, they realized that the speed of civilian passenger and cargo ships was really difficult to meet the needs of Huo's military logistics!

From the Nanyang territory of the Huo Jiajun to the Overseas Chinese Town of the Americas (San Francisco), even the fastest passenger ship under the command of the Huo Jiajun takes a month and a half, which is nothing for business and immigration in peacetime, but for the army that is racing against time and has a sense of urgency, it is far from enough!

In addition, the wide ocean also needs specially customized military transport ships to supply the navy, and ocean-going operations are often inseparable from fast transport ships that can follow the fleet for maneuvering! The military transport ship developed by Huo Jiajun himself was born in this context!

"Young master, this is the design scheme of the military transport ship we designed, with a full load displacement of 8,500 tons. It can transport all the arms and personnel of a regiment at once! Or, 3,000 tons of coal, 150 tons of fresh water, 180 tons of grain, dehydrated vegetables, and other materials, and 235 tons of ammunition! In addition, the power of the new transport ship is 10 small water-tube coal-fired boilers and four three-rise steam engines, which can provide 18,000 horsepower. Maximum speed of 18 knots!"

Hearing this, Huo Shan couldn't help but nodded, as a military transport ship, in addition to the amount of supplies, it cannot lag behind the current speed of the Huo Jiajun Navy at 15 knots. Otherwise, it will not be possible to follow the fleet for maneuvering, and then this military transport ship will be scrapped! However, it seems that the personnel of the ship design department have done a good job in this regard!

"In order to increase the protection of military transport ships. We thickened his hull armor. In particular, the waterline part and the boiler compartment and other important parts are made of 76mm nickel alloy steel! And the average thickness of the hull armor has also reached 50mm, although it is not as good as the warships in our Huo Jiajun, but compared with ordinary merchant ships, the protection is more than several levels enhanced! In addition, we have also added 6 76mm guns, 8 37mm rapid-fire guns, and 16 heavy machine guns to this class of transport ships, so that it can not only face pirates and local small-tonnage warships, but also have a certain counterattack ability!" Wei Han said.

"What is the name of this class of warship, and how many orders have you placed with the Admiralty?" After listening to this, Huo Shan thought about it for a while. After feeling that there was nothing to add, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Huo Feng who was standing on the side!

Since Huo Shan took out two billion silver dollars to lend to the Government Council. Huo Jiajun's finances are much more relaxed, and even though the scale of investment in infrastructure construction is now becoming more and more huge, the economy that has developed rapidly within Huo Jiajun because of a large amount of investment has also led to a rapid increase in the tax revenue of the Government Council! Therefore, although there is still a large amount of financial deficit within Huo Jiajun, he does not want to be so exaggerated as before!

Therefore, the construction and investment of the navy, the Ministry of Finance will not delay too much, especially the construction of military transport ships that Huo Shan has explained, and Huo Di, the Minister of Finance, is even more concerned!

"We are going to build sixteen new transport ships, as for the naming yet, it is better for the young master to come and have a name!" Huo Feng said with a smile.

Hearing this, Huo Shan lowered his head and thought about it for a while, then quickly spoke: "Let's call it Taishan-class, and the first military transport ship will be named 'Taishan'! In addition, in the future, all auxiliary warships such as military transport ships and military supply ships will be named after famous mountains and rivers!"

"Yes, young master!" But after Huo Feng finished speaking this time, he didn't retreat, but said with a smile: "Young master, should you take out the baby?"

"What baby?" Hearing his words, Huo Shan couldn't help but be stunned!

"It's the construction drawings of the next level of warship!" Looking at the blank look on Huo Shan's face, Huo Feng couldn't help but say with an anxious face, even Wei Han and other people from the ship design institute who were standing on the side also revealed a look of expectation in their eyes!

From the Sea Hawk-class frigates, the Mingjiang-class destroyers, to the Mingxiang-class light cruisers, from the 1,000-ton warships to the 5,000-ton warships, the reason why the Huojia Warship Design Institute and shipyard have been able to make such remarkable progress in five years is that in addition to concentrating the best Chinese shipbuilders and designers of this era, the most important thing is the novel warship design drawings and various new technologies of Huoshan!

Moreover, almost every new warship of the Huo Jiajun Navy is completed and launched, Huo Shan will come up with bigger and better warship design drawings, which has almost become a common practice. Therefore, it is no wonder that Huo Feng, the Minister of the Navy, took the initiative to ask for it this time!

To tell the truth, Huo Shan didn't want to directly hand over the drawings in his hand to the ship design institute, he wanted more that these best warship designers within the Huo family army could independently design advanced naval warships! However, Huo Shan also understood that his idea was basically an extravagant hope so far, because even if the Huo Jiajun Naval Ship Design Institute, which had been developed for five years, even if it absorbed a large number of warship designers from European naval powers, it was still too thin!

In addition, the rapidly developing naval science and technology of other naval powers have no time to wait for the warship designers under their command to grow slowly, so they can only use this kind of warship drawings that are somewhat promoted, as well as his points, to come up with advanced warships that can compete with Western countries and defend the territorial waters and homeland security of the Huo family army as soon as possible!

"'Fish, I do as I want; Bear's paw, I also want, I can't have both, and whoever gives up the fish and takes the bear's paw is also!' This sentence is really appropriate for me now!" Huo Shan secretly laughed at himself in his heart.

"Huo Lei, give him something!" Huo Feng looked at the big black suitcase in Huo Lei's hand vigorously! Huo Shan stroked his forehead, and said with a hint of helplessness in his tone. No matter when, as long as he mentions warships, Huo Feng's intuition is always so sharp!

Looking at Huo Feng, who was holding the black suitcase, Huo Shan rolled his eyes and walked up to Wei Han and the designers of the ship design institute, "The drawings of the new warship are in that black suitcase, although there are not many drawings, but they are the most important part! In addition, I believe you have guessed some data of the next level of warship!" I won't say anything superfluous, but the next class of heavy cruisers must meet several data: First, the standard displacement is about 8,000 tons, the naval guns are three triple 203mml45 naval guns, the speed cannot be less than 20 knots, and the endurance is 10 knots and 10,000 nautical miles! The protection force cannot be less than that of the Mingxiang-class light cruisers! Moreover, within two to three years, I want to see this class of warships launched for sea trials!

It's not that Huo Shan doesn't want warships with larger tonnage and stronger firepower, but if he really wants to do that, the time for the new first-class warship will be dragged on for a longer time, and it is better to put forward a clear target that can be seen and touched, which will make people more motivated! In addition, with his current understanding of Huo Jiajun's military science and technology, he is very sure that in two to three years, the tonnage of Huo Jiajun's warships will be increased to 8,000 tons!

Listening to his words, the warship designers, including Wei Han, quickly took out the notebooks they were carrying, and then wrote down several requirements from Huo Shan!

"Please rest assured, young master! Our ship design institute will definitely complete the task assigned by the young master!" Wei Han took the lead and said. Although Huo Shan's requirements were very high, with two to three years as a buffer, and the drawings handed over by the young master to the design institute as a basis, the construction of the heavy cruiser was not too difficult!

Just when Huo Shan was about to say something, he suddenly saw a young man wearing the black uniform of the Huo family's internal guard, and after explaining a few words to the doorman, he quickly thought about the battleship he was on and ran over!

"Could it be that something happened there?" Huo Shan asked secretly.

"Young master, the Taipei Military Department is calling!" Under Huo Shan's gaze, the young man hurriedly stepped forward, quickly took out a very neatly folded white dotted newspaper from the pocket of his jacket, and then handed it to Huo Shan.

Looking at the contents of the telegram, Huo Shan's face kept changing, and his brows twisted into a Sichuan character! It can be seen that what the telegram said is probably not a good thing!

"Whew!" After a long sigh, Huo Shan swept the telegram in his hand again, folded it and put it in his pocket. Then he raised his head, only to find that the faces of the people around him were no longer happy to get the design drawings of the new warship just now!

"Jianliang, it seems that visiting your Keelung shipyard can only wait for the next opportunity!" Huo Shan adjusted his mood and said with a smile.

"Young Master, ...... just now?"

"It's nothing, it's just a few jumping clowns! This time we have to clean them up completely!" Huo Shan said indifferently.

Hearing this, Huo Jianliang, Wei Han and the others breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and their faces showed a relaxed look!

Refused to be sent off by everyone in the shipyard, Huo Shan led Huo Feng to get into the carriage to Keelung Railway Station!

Looking at the look on Huo Feng's face, Huo Shan smiled indifferently, took out a telegram from his pocket and handed it over, "Look, it's Huo Long's call, the Americans have been suppressed by us for two years, and these are finally ready to take back their land! However, it's okay, one million and eight hundred and fifty thousand troops! Hehe, let's get rid of all their arrogance at once! Let them also taste the taste of land reparation!" (To be continued. )
