15 January 19o9 A.D., Western Pacific Ocean, Ogasawara Islands.

Several Japanese fishing boats are fishing here. At this time, Japan's fishing industry was far from being comparable to that of later generations, and these fishing boats were very small, only one or two hundred tons.

A fishing boat pulled up its net, and when several fishermen saw the catch in the net, they immediately exclaimed excitedly: "Great, salmon or the best sockeye salmon"

"Haha, at least 2"

The owner of the boat hurriedly said: "Okay, hurry up and close the net, let's put a few more nets, and we will rush to Tokyo immediately, this net of fresh fish can be sold for at least 1oo yen Remember to keep the sockeye salmon in the tank at the bottom of the boat, the nobles like fresh fish, if they die, it will be worthless." ”

The fishermen were busy collecting their nets, when suddenly a young fisherman shouted: "There is a fleet of boats coming from the northeast, there are many, at least there are ...... There are 3 boats ......"

The owner looked up and saw a huge fleet of ships sailing from the northeast skyline, with at least 4o gray plumes of smoke.

"Oops, this is a warship" The owner of the ship is also mixed with the sea, and when he looks at the color and shape of the smoke column, he knows that this is a warship that burns high-quality anthracite.

The smoke of high-quality anthracite is very light, gray, and the smoke column disperses quickly, so it appears relatively low. But only warships or high-end cruise ships will be willing to burn this kind of valuable good coal, ordinary civilian ships burn ordinary coal, and the smoke columns are all black and high. And it is impossible for high-class cruise ships to come so many at once, the only possibility is a naval fleet.

"Oda-kun, come and see, where is this warship...... The owner of the ship hurriedly called a crew member and handed her the binoculars.

Oda hurriedly climbed onto the mast and raised the binoculars to look. He only retired from the Japanese Navy this year, and he is much more familiar with warships than ship owners.

"Damn, this is the fleet of ghost beasts in the United States," Oda shouted.

"Bah, damn the ghost beast of the United States, it actually ran into the sea of our Japan. Why don't those fools in the Navy stop them," the shipowner scolded.

Oda hurriedly defended the navy: "Boss, you can't blame the navy for this. It's still the open sea, they have the right to pass through here, and our Imperial Navy can't stop them......"

The shipowner snorted a few times and didn't say anything, but looking at his expression, he was obviously dissatisfied.

Suddenly, Oda's mouth opened wide, and he looked like he had seen a hell. stammered: "It's not just the warships of the American ghosts, but also ...... There are other warships. That flag with white gears on a red background is so familiar, damn it...... It's a warship in China."

At this time, on the bridge of the battleship "Gonggong" of the People's Navy, the captain Gao Yujie also appeared on the Japanese fishing boats. The "Gonggong" is one of the two old man's star ships bought from Chile. It was originally the battleship "Giant" of the British Royal Navy, but after the Chinese Navy bought it from Chile, it was renamed "Gonggong".

At this time, the Chinese fleet appeared here because it was conducting a "Sino-US naval joint military exercise" with the United States this month. The exercise was proposed by the US Navy, which called it the "Rim of the Pacific Joint Military Exercise." China and the United States claimed that the purpose of the exercise was "to ensure the security of the Pacific sea lanes and to serve as a joint anti-piracy and anti-maritime crime exercise between the two countries."

This is a high-sounding statement, and if you really believe it, you are a fool. Countries that can become great powers are not stupid, and they certainly do not believe the rhetoric of China and the United States.

This time, the Chinese and American navies dispatched a total of 6 battleships, 3 cruisers, 33 destroyers, and more than 2 auxiliary ships. With such a huge lineup, you actually say that it is used for "anti-piracy", don't you obviously take everyone for fools? Nima, what kind of pirates need to be dealt with with battleships?

Both China and the United States ignored the reaction of the great powers. That's right, our exercises are preparing for anti-piracy, believe it or not, I believe it anyway.

"Leon, you organize a mock shooting, and the target is a few fishing boats over there. Gao Yujie put down the binoculars, frowned, and said to Li Ang next to her.

He had just seen through the high-powered binoculars that the Japanese fishermen were making all sorts of obscene gestures to their fleet, and one guy took out the oddly small tintint and peed on the Chinese fleet.

This made Captain Gao very unhappy, these little devils were too arrogant, and even a few broken fishing boats dared to provoke warships. Although there is no war now, it is not good to sink it for this reason, but it is still possible to use it as a target for simulated shooting.

"Yes, Captain. Li Ang immediately received the order, paused and asked, "Captain, do you want to give them a few training bombs?"

Captain Gao smiled: "You can do it, as long as there are no casualties...... Bullying fishing boats doesn't show our ability, it's not interesting, just teach them a lesson......"

"Guarantee the completion of the task......" Li Ang excitedly ran to the side of the communication group and began to give orders to various posts. After the Chinese naval delegation received the warship in the United States in B, he was transferred by his superiors to the "Gonggong" as assistant to the captain and chief navigator.

At present, all the personnel of the ships of the Chinese Navy are numbered, for example, there are 1 deputy captain and 1 deputy political commissar on the "Gonggong". There are also five assistant captains. The position of assistant captain is not available in the navies of other countries, and this is a unique position of the Chinese Navy in this plane, mainly for those who have less qualifications and whose military rank is not enough to serve as a deputy captain.

All other officer posts have double posts, and even non-commissioned officers and sailors have one-third to one-half more personnel. For example, the "Gonggong", which has a capacity of 6o people, is now stuffed with 1o8 people, making the space on the ship full of hammocks and floor bunks. This configuration is obviously to prepare for the future expansion of the army, once a new ship is put into service, a whole team can be directly adjusted, and there is no need for even a run-in period.

"Jingle bell ......" rings with the electric bell. The "Gonggong" slowly drove out of the queue, and the officers and men immediately ran to their respective posts and took their places.

The "Gonggong" turned slightly downward, aimed its starboard side at the Japanese fishing boat, and the two twin 3m main turrets and the six 15-gun secondary guns on the right side, and the six 76mm deck guns began to rotate slowly.

"The target position is 1366 and the distance is 764o meters, the wind direction is xx, the wind is xx, the course is xx degrees..."

The firing elements were immediately calculated from these numbers.

"Boom ......"

The ship's No. 1 main turret fired first, but the sound of the cannon was crisp, not at all the muffled thunderous sound of the main gun. On another look, there was no flame coming out of the muzzle of the main gun, but a small tube fixed to the barrel of the main gun.

This is a 3mm gun. After removing the floor and gun mount, it was fixed to the main gun barrel at an angle. This is true not only of the main gun, but also of the other 152mm secondary guns and 76mm deck guns, except that they have a rifle fixed to the barrel.

Well, this is the "gun instead of cannon" training method created by the original time and space and later generations, which can greatly reduce the training cost while training artillery skills. Because live-fire training has very high requirements for the site, and large-caliber artillery and shells are very expensive. Like the main guns on battleships, a gun barrel can range from hundreds of thousands or even millions of yuan, while a gun barrel is usually scrapped after hitting one or two hundred. If you also use live ammunition training in normal times, even big tyrant countries like Britain and the United States can't bear it.

Therefore, in order to train artillery skills in peacetime, it is necessary to have a bullet impact point to check whether the aiming point is accurate, and the squadron of this plane copied the methods of later generations, they first tested the ballistic numbers of different guns and rifles, fixed the small cannon or rifle on the cannon at a certain angle, and used the impact point of the small cannon and rifle to check the aiming point. Moreover, this fixture is also an adjustable angle, which can be used to test aiming points for various ranges and charges.

"26 ...... distance from the secret position" The artillery command room immediately reported the correction number jù.

The U.S. battleship USS Kentucky (Bo and USS Ohio (B2), who were nearby, also noticed the Gonggong's movements, and after announcing to the flagship, they also sailed out of the queue to run to the crowd of onlookers.

"These Chinese are so smart, they actually came up with this way to train," the captain of the Ohio couldn't help but say.

The first mate next to him said: "Yes, this saves the expensive main gun, and it is equivalent to conducting live-fire training, which is really good, we can also try ......"

The captain touched his chin and said: "No, it's not that simple, the ballistic characteristics of small-caliber guns and heavy guns are very different, but they can't achieve the simulation effect if they are simply fixed, they must have some tricks, such as conversion formulas and simulated shooting tables or something...... These Chinese are very strict-mouthed, I asked the other day, but I didn't ask anything. I guess we'll have to give them some benefits to get what we want, and I've already commanded it......"

There was also a discussion on the battleship Kentucky, but they were talking about the Chinese fleet's seaplanes. The six battleships, six armored cruisers and two protective cruisers (Jishan-class and For-Renault-class) of the Chinese participating in the exercise were equipped with seaplanes. And they were also refurbished with hydraulic catapults, which can be flown directly from the ship.

Just now, the "Gonggong" released a seaplane, and now this plane is hovering over the Japanese fishing boat, and the Guò radio station is constantly feeding all kinds of information back to the ship.

The captain of the Kentucky had been observing the flying plane with a telescope, and he looked at it for a while before he said enviously: "I have to admit that the aviation technology of the Chinese is indeed the first in the world, and this seaplane is very advanced." With this flying eye, the battleship's field of vision can be increased several times......"

"Our country's aircraft show is too slow, and we can't build a working seaplane yet. The deputy captain next to him said regretfully.

Although in June 19o5, the famous French aircraft designers of the Vazin brothers built the first pontoon seaplane. But the plane itself was not powered, it was just a box-shaped kite glider. The glider was towed into the air by a motorboat on the Seine. And in November last year, China had already created a real seaplane capable of taking off and landing on its own on the water.

Stimulated by the aviation industry of various countries, seaplanes have been launched, but until now there is no one that can be practical. The United States is no exception, and the Wright Brothers' Wright Aircraft Company is also engaged in seaplanes, but their best one can only fly 6 kilometers at an altitude of less than 3o meters, which is not reasonable compared to its Chinese counterpart.

"It doesn't matter, China is now our quasi-ally, you can buy it from the Chinese first, and then import technology." As long as we have a reference object, I believe that with our American industrial strength, we will soon be able to build our own seaplanes......"

The seaplane equipped by the Chinese Navy is produced by the Xiangyin Aircraft Factory (Xiangfei), which is a biplane and twin-pontoon water reconnaissance aircraft. The appearance is similar to the Aichi AH of the original time and space, which looks like a water reconnaissance plane zoomed in on a circle. The army number was "Shuishen-1", nicknamed "Sea Duck".

The "Shuishen-1" has a length of 6 meters, a wingspan of 11 meters, and a height of B3 meters. The empty weight is 1o6 kg, and the load is 68 kg. The power system is a "hhQo3 type B" piston air-cooled motor, each with a power of 2o kilowatts (3 hp), and the propeller is a pair of hardwood three-bladed propellers. Its maximum flight is 175 km, and when cruising is 13o km. The range is 2o kilometers, and the ceiling is 7o6 meters. The nose of the aircraft is equipped with 1 7 mm caliber 19UU machine gun, and there is also 1 machine gun of the same type in the rear seat, which is operated by an observer.

After several months of test flights and improvements, the "Shuishen-1" was officially put into production in February this year, and now more than three have been produced, except for two that are allocated to the Air Force and the 6 th Army, and the rest are all assigned to the Navy.

In this joint military exercise, it was also the official appearance of the "Water Reconnaissance-1". As soon as this guy appeared, he attracted the attention of the US Navy, and the officers with a little brains were very enthusiastic about this new equipment. After a little investigation, they immediately made a purchase. The wealthy Yankees directly placed a big order of 1oo racks, and now the general direction has been decided, but some details and conditions have not been negotiated.

"Hehe, are those people setting off firecrackers for us?" exclaimed the Japanese fishing boat owner triumphantly.

The retired sailor named Oda laughed and said, "Hahahaha...... The timid Shina people did not dare to do anything to us at all, otherwise our incomparably powerful Imperial Navy would once again crush them, just like the Beiyang Naval Division 2 years ago, and then these battleships would become the trophies of our Imperial Japanese Navy

"Yes, yes, the navy is all cowards...... "The fishermen laughed.

"Hmph, the Chinese Navy is inferior, just look at the place where they shot just now, even if they let them fight, they won't be able to hit" Xiao Tian laughed wildly, and after speaking, he took out his little Ding Ding and peed in the direction of the Chinese fleet.

These guys were frightened when they started to see the mid-** ship turn its guns towards them. But later I saw that the squadron only fired a few times with some small cannons, and the landing point was still a few hundred meters away from them. These guys are getting proud.

"These little devils really don't know whether to live or die" Li Ang, who was observing the shooting effect, put down the binoculars, his face was ugly. The Japanese made even more obscene gestures to provoke.

"Yu Cannon ......" He immediately connected to the No. 1 turret. "Change the trainer bullet for me, the trainer bullet for the main gun, and give those little devils some color to see......"

"No problem, Assistant Li, you can ...... if you sink it," the turret elder replied cheerfully. Yu Pao was born as a fisherman in Jiangsu, he was illiterate before joining the army, and he only became illiterate after joining the People's Liberation Army. Although he is not highly educated, he is indeed very talented in gunnery.

"Forget about sinking, the Americans don't care, but the British and French are still watching," Leon said quickly. Yes, after receiving the news of the joint military exercises between China and the United States in the western Pacific, both Niu Niu and Rooster sent several cruisers to follow onlookers.

"The little devil is waiting, grandpa will give you a big egg to taste......" Yu Cannon said to himself while proofreading the target.

"Boom...... Rumble...... The corrected main gun of the ...... came to a salvo, and this time it was not the small cannon that replaced the cannon just now, but the real main gun shooting

"Eight grids, the people of China really hit" Seeing the ** ship firing, the owner of the ship was startled, but soon he laughed again: "Hahahaha, the people of China can't hit"

Oda was laughing, but soon he heard the whistling sound of a train.

"Not good," he said, pulling the boat owner over to the deck, while clutching onto the fishing nets beside him.

A "boom......" shell fell next to the fishing boat, less than 2 meters away. Although this is just a coach bullet without a charge, the power of such a high degree of falling into the water is also very touching. I saw a surging shock wave throwing the fishing boat up,

"Ah......h

"Boom...... Rumble...... Boom ......"

The shells kept falling, and the landing points were all within 3 meters of those fishing boats, and the fishing boats were suddenly unlucky. They are tossed around like a stormy sea, tossed around by the excitement of the main artillery shells entering the water.

"That's enough, stop shooting......" After three volleys, Leon called a halt. Although the cost is not cheap, those fishing boats are more than that.

By this time, the three Japanese fishing boats were already in ruins, and a dozen fishermen on board, as well as many things, were thrown into the sea. They were triumphant just now, but their faces turned green with fright at this time, and they shouted for help.

"Hahahaha, little devil, are grandpa's big eggs delicious?" Yu Pao laughed.

"Hahahaha......" The entire "Gonggong" officers and soldiers laughed. Seeing the wolf bèi of the Japanese, everyone felt that they were angry.

Even the Americans were laughing, but the other two onlookers couldn't laugh.

"Hey, Chinese gunnery is so accurate...... the British captain watched the whole thing, and he couldn't help but be surprised by the level of Chinese gunnery. "It's not like a newbie at all"

Several officers on the French ** ship also sighed a few words, and the level of Chinese gunnery exceeded their expectations. However, they soon followed the fine French tradition.

"These Chinese are not aesthetic at all, they are all dirt buns like the Yankees, and looking at their warship livery, it is completely a taste of tyranny......" the French captain said disdainfully.

"That's right, the cowboys' livery is extremely silly, second only to the unscrupulous Brits, and the Chinese braids are copied by them," echoed another officer

The first mate looked at it carefully, shook his head and said, "There are still some differences, the Yankee's superstructure is dark yellow, and the Yankees are golden...... Of course, the colors of the other parts are the same......"

That's right, the two warships participating in the joint exercise are painted in the same style, and if you don't look carefully, you can't tell which warship is which. The Chinese Navy is copying the paint of the American Great White Fleet, the only difference is the color of the superstructure, and the Chinese ships use the "local tyrant gold" that brightens the eyes of the dog. According to the French, it is a strong atmosphere of mobs.

The French captain smiled and said: "The Yankees' fleet is called the [Big White Fleet], so the Yankees' fleet should be called the [Little White Fleet]......"

Well, the nickname of China's "Little White Fleet" was thus known to the French, and for a long time to come, "Little White Fleet" became the synonym of the Chinese Navy. After Mr. Wen knew this nickname, he gritted his teeth for a long time and vowed to give the French a good look. Well, the French may not have thought about it that much when they took this nickname, but for the Bundeji from later generations, the name is very excessive......
