Chapter 75 Naval War Preparations
Lord of the Nation: I rely on cheating to compete for hegemony
On July 3, the sixth year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao, who was recuperating, spent the whole morning at the headquarters of the Imperial Guard. He listened to Su Buqing, Wei Qubing, Sandru Lie and others reporting to him the Imperial Guard's response to the rebellion.
Preparations for alliance operations.
After finishing lunch, Qu Mao did not return to the lord's hut. Instead, he rushed directly to the civilian dock outside the fishermen's village of Yi Island, boarded a naval warship, and went straight to the Reef Chain Naval Military Base in the southeast corner of the Holy Land of Yi Gong Territory.
Qu Mao naturally wanted to inspect the Navy's war preparations as one of the main forces fighting the Yi Town Alliance.
According to the arrangement at the preparation meeting for combat against the Yi Town Alliance held at the Yicheng Military Ministry Office Building on July 2, the sixth year of Tianxuan, Sylvia Ocean will lead the navy as the main force in the battle against the Yi Town Alliance.
.
So after the meeting, Sylvia Ocean and Ful Swanp returned to the Reef Chain Naval Military Base with a large number of naval heroes and began to make final preparations. Although the meeting did not specify a specific date for launching the attack
, but Sylvia Ocean made advance preparations within the navy based on the requirement to dispatch troops on July 15.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon on July 3, the sixth year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao boarded the military pier of the Reef Chain Naval Military Base. The moment he stepped onto the pier, Qu Mao felt that the Reef Chain Naval Military Base was no longer what it was when it was first built.
Planks are erected on the rocks.
At least the military docks that Qu Mao set foot on were already very solid stone docks. After two or three years of development and construction, the navy had learned the reclamation technology of Liandao and used stones and soil to cover part of the area between the reefs.
It was filled in to form a solid land between the rocks.
From the moment he saw many tall trees 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 for such tall trees to grow.
Sylvia Ocean has already hurriedly greeted Qu Mao, and said from afar: "Sir, if you want to check the navy's war preparations, you can actually wait for a while to go to the Yihai Naval Military Base. After such a long period of
Construction, Fu Er has built the Yihai Naval Military Base into the largest base of the navy in our Yi Gong Territory, and it is not an exaggeration to serve as the general garrison of the navy.
Moreover, the navy is currently moving purposefully to the Yihai Naval Military Base, which is, after all, larger, stronger and safer."
Qu Mao nodded and said: "While everyone is at the Reef Chain Naval Military Base, I came here to take a look.
Although the Reef Chain Naval Military Base is small in area, it is the largest base of the Navy in the Holy Land after all. Therefore, I hope the Navy will not reduce its investment in the Reef Chain Naval Military Base. After all, the Reef Chain area is so large, and you can expand it by continuing to reclaim the sea.
The scope of the military base.”
Sylvia Ocean nodded and said: "Yes, Your Excellency, since Your Excellency does not want us to move the main naval base to Yihai Naval Military Base, then our Navy will continue to build the Reef Chain Naval Military Base.
Sir, other naval heroes are having a meeting on the warship being renovated on the other side of the Reef Chain Naval Military Base. My subordinate will take you there. It will take about 4 kilometers to walk.
Because the Reef Chain Naval Military Base was built on the sea by ourselves, there is no way to ride there, so I 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."
About half an hour later, Qu Mao and Sylvia Ocean boarded a giant 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.
Qu Mao also squeezed in to take a look. Ful Swanpe, Kristen Silian, Shanks Reed, Lysa Middleton, etc. saw that it was Qu Mao who squeezed in, so they hurriedly
Make way for a passage.
Other veteran naval heroes also greeted Qu Mao, and Qu Mao came to the construction site and watched the craftsmen install a huge gun barrel on the deck of the ship's bow.
Christine Silian explained: "Sir, today we are refitting this giant warship. This artillery is a 30-pound iron shell cannon with a muzzle diameter of 30 centimeters..."
Qu Mao nodded as he listened to Christine Silian's explanation, stroked the barrel of the iron cannon with interest, and asked, "How much does this cannon weigh?"
To be honest, I have been reading books recently to catch up on updates, switch sources, read aloud with many sounds, and it can be used on both Android and Apple.]
Christine Silian said: "Sir, this kind of artillery weighs 6,000 kilograms, has a range of about 3 kilometers, and a 30-kilogram iron bullet can fly 3 kilometers, which will cause a large degree of damage to the fifth-level city wall.
Because this kind of artillery is too heavy, we usually only install two at the bow and one at the stern, but we dare not install it on the sides."
Sylvia Ocean added: "Sir, if this kind of artillery is installed on the side of the ship, the recoil when the artillery is fired can overturn our warship."
Qu Mao sighed and said: "Alas, Kong Ming's artillery improvement still has a long way to go.
If we develop a new type of warship with more than 20 artillery pieces installed on each side, then what kind of warship will not be destroyed by such powerful firepower?
Sylvia, I think the Navy should also establish a naval research institute, and even the Naval University and the Maritime University, and join forces with shipyards to develop warships with larger hulls, more stable and powerful power, faster speed, and greater firepower."
Kristine Silian's eyes lit up and he said: "Sir, I think your suggestion is very appropriate. We can even continue reclamation on the other side of the Reef Chain Naval Military Base to build the Naval University of Science and Technology.
Naval University, etc.
We only need adults to support us in ordering the school construction drawings, and our navy can handle the rest ourselves."
Qu Mao smiled and said: "Kong Ming wants to build a firearms university, so I only gave him 20 school construction drawings and recruitment coupons for 300 residents with outstanding qualifications.
The Navy wants to build its own university, and I can provide 30 school construction drawings and recruitment vouchers for 600 residents with outstanding qualifications."
As he spoke, Qu Mao bought 30 school construction drawings and 20 excellent resident recruitment coupons from the cheat mall, and handed them to Kristen Slian.
Sylvia Ocean glanced at Christian Silian and said: "Kristen, just prepare to build two naval universities, one to research new ships and one to train naval commanders.
No matter what, it cannot be worse than the Firearms University that Mr. Kong Ming is planning to build on the Twin Islands in the middle."
