Chapter 1122 Naval War Preparation
On July 3rd in the sixth year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao, who had recharged his batteries, stayed at the headquarters of the Imperial Guard for a whole morning, listening to Su Buqing, Wei Qubing, Sandrollie and others report to him the Imperial Guard's response to the anti-Yi town. Preparations for alliance operations.
After lunch, Qu Mao did not return to the lord's hut, but rushed directly to the civilian pier outside Yidao Fisherman's Village, boarded a naval warship, and went straight to the Reef Chain naval military base in the southeast corner of the Holy Land of Yigong's territory, as a countermeasure. Qu Mao, one of the main forces of the anti-Yizhen alliance's navy, naturally wanted to inspect the navy's preparations for war.
According to the arrangement in the preparation meeting for the anti-Yizhen alliance held in the office building of the Yicheng Military Department on July 2, Tianxuan Six Years, Sylvia Ocean will lead the navy as the main force in the anti-Yizhen alliance .
So after the meeting, Sylvia Ocean and Fur Swamp returned to the Reef Chain Naval Military Base with a large number of naval heroes to start the final preparations. Although the meeting did not specify a specific date for launching the offensive, Sylvia Oshin made preparations in advance within the navy with the requirement of dispatching troops on July 15.
At 3:00 p.m. on July 3, the sixth year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao boarded the military pier of the Reef Chain Naval Military Base. The moment he set foot on the pier, Qu Mao felt that the Reef Chain Naval Military Base was no longer what it was when it was first built. The planks are erected on the reef.
At least the military piers that Qu Mao set foot on are already very solid stone piers. After two or three years of development and construction, the navy has learned the land reclamation technology of the United Islands, and used stones and soil to cover some areas between the reefs. Filling was carried out to form a solid land between reefs and reefs.
From the time when many tall trees could be seen at a glance, Qu Mao knew that the Reef Chain naval military base must have used soil to fill the sea, otherwise it would be impossible to grow such tall trees.
Sylvia Ocean has already walked towards Qu Mao quickly, and said from a long distance: "My lord, you want to check the navy's preparations. In fact, you can wait for a while to go to the Yihai naval military base. After such a long time For construction, Fuer has built the Yihai Naval Military Base into the largest base of our Navy in Yigong Territory.
And the navy is currently migrating to the Yihai naval military base in a purposeful manner. After all, the Yihai naval military base is bigger, stronger, and safer. "
Qu Mao nodded, and said, "I'll come here to take a look while everyone is at the Reef Chain Naval Military Base.
Although the area of the Reef Chain Naval Military Base is small, it is the largest naval base in the Holy Land after all, so I hope the Navy will not reduce its investment in the Reef Chain Naval Military Base. After all, the Reef Chain is so big that you can expand it by continuing to reclaim the sea. range of military bases. "
Sylvia Ocean nodded and said: "Yes, my lord, since your lord does not want us to move the main naval base to the Yihai naval military base, then our navy will continue to build the Reef Chain naval military base.
My lord, other naval heroes are having a meeting on the warship being transformed on the other side of the Reef Chain Naval Military Base. Your subordinates will take you there, and you need to walk about 4 kilometers.
Because the Reef Chain Naval Military Base was rebuilt on the sea surface, there is no way to ride there, and the subordinates will take you there on foot. "
Qu Mao nodded and said, "That's fine, let's take a look at the Reef Chain Naval Military Base by the way."
About half an hour later, Qu Mao and Sylvia Oshin boarded a huge warship under construction on the other side of the Reef Chain naval military base. A group of naval heroes were gathered around the bow of the deck, watching While installing the artillery, they were discussing with each other.
Other veteran naval heroes also greeted Qu Mao one after another. Qu Mao came to the construction site and watched the craftsmen install a huge gun barrel on the deck of the bow.
Christine Sirian explained: "My lord, today is to refit this giant warship. This artillery is a 30-jin iron cannon with a muzzle diameter of 30 cm..."
Qu Mao listened to Christian Sirian's explanation, nodded, stroked the barrel of the iron cannon with interest, and asked, "How much does this cannon weigh?"
Christian Sirian said: "My lord, this kind of artillery weighs 6,000 kilograms and has a range of about 3 kilometers. A 30-jin iron bullet flies 3 kilometers, and it will cause a relatively large degree of damage to the fifth-tier city wall.
Because this kind of artillery is too heavy, we generally only install two more at the bow and one at the stern, and we dare not install it on both sides. "
Sylvia Ocean added: "My lord, if this kind of artillery is also installed on the side of the ship, the recoil when the artillery is fired can overturn our warship."
Qu Mao sighed, and said: "Oh, Kong Ming still has a long way to go to improve the artillery.
If we develop a new type of warship with more than 20 cannons installed on each side, then what kind of warship will not be annihilated by our powerful firepower?
Sylvia, I think the Navy should also set up a Naval Research Institute, and even a Naval University and a Nautical University, and work together with shipyards to develop warships with larger hulls, more stable and powerful power, faster speeds, and more powerful firepower. "
Christine Sirian's eyes lit up, and said: "My lord, my subordinates feel that your suggestion is very suitable. We can even continue to reclaim land on the other side of the reef chain naval military base to build the Naval University of Science and Technology, the Navy Naval University, etc.
We only need adults to support us in ordering the school construction drawings, and our navy can handle the rest by ourselves. "
Qu Mao smiled and said: "Kong Ming wanted to build the Firearms University, but I only gave 20 school construction drawings and a recruitment voucher to recruit 300 residents with excellent qualifications.
The navy wants to build its own university. I can provide 30 school construction drawings and recruitment coupons for 600 residents with excellent qualifications. "
While talking, Qu Mao bought 30 school construction blueprints and 20 excellent resident recruitment coupons from the cheating mall, and handed them to Christine Sirian.
Sylvia Ocean glanced at Christine Sirian and said, "Christine, you are going to build two naval universities, one for researching new ships and one for training naval commanders.
In any case, it can’t be worse than the Firearms University that Master Kong Ming planned to build on the Midway Twin Islands. "
Christine Silian smiled and said: "It is necessary, Sylvia, you should accompany the adults to see the navy's preparations, otherwise the adults will not be at ease."
