Mingqiu didn't speak, and he was not worried about the logistics issues in Kaohsiung and Jeju Island - he trusted the organization and service capabilities of this group of young people very much. The problem was: he did not have a qualified military officer corps.

There is only one person from the Plan Navy officer in this first fleet: Li Ziping and Mond are at least half a student at Maritime University. In addition to himself, there are two and a half professionals. Although Le Lin is a veteran and a fanatical naval fan, even if you look at it, Haihe Navy is very good at tactics, he is actually Zhao Kuo, who has no practical experience at all. All the sailing experience has been accumulated in the past three years. However, the navy's tasks in the engine operation are heavy and the situation is very complicated. What Le Lin wants to command is the steam-sail hybrid warship he has never been exposed to before - even he himself feels unsure.

There are still some veterans from the navy, but these people either have their own responsibilities and cannot escape them. They are also known very little about navigation when they were military soldiers, technical soldiers, and base soldiers. Even if they were enriched, they would not be of much use.

Most of the backbone naturalized civilian officers in the fleet came from old pirates. Whether this group of people's professional standards is qualified is also a question.

"...The repair ship and the coal transport ship are almost outfitted. You can make a formal trial voyage in more than ten days, and you should be in time at that time." Chen Haiyang continued to add that he thought Mr. Ming was still worried about logistics.

When we first planned to build a ship, although we considered that there were no repair facilities in Kaohsiung and Jeju Island and it was difficult to repair once a failure occurred, the construction of three repair ships was specially included in the plan. However, both the navy and the shipyard had forgotten the problem of fleet coal ships. The coal consumption of steam warships was amazing, and even if they used sailing most of the time, they still needed a steady stream of coal supply.

In this time and space, there is no coal-adding station available in the world except Hongji, Sanya, Bopu and Hong Kong. The fleet must provide its own coal-adding ships along the way.

The Planning Institute realized this gap only halfway through the implementation of the shipbuilding registration, because it was too late to add shipbuilding. So it temporarily converted the two H800 Harmony Wheels under construction into coal transport ships.

However, the structure of the Harmony Wheel is not suitable for coal transport ships. In fact, most ships in the navy and shipping departments are not very suitable - from the safe wooden ships, the safety risks of transporting coal are very high. In bulk bulk cargoes such as coal, the danger of stewing has always existed, not to mention that the dust of coal and the danger of explosion.

Mingqiu regained his thoughts - it was useless to worry, so he could only start with strengthening training. Fortunately, the fleet's mission was not heavy at the beginning, and there was still a lot of time to train during standby time in Hong Kong and Kaohsiung.

“How about security?”

Chen Haiyang said: "It's hard to say about safety - this is just a temporary emergency. H800 should not do accompanying navigation and sea coal replenishment operations. The ships should still be mainly supplied to the port."

He then talked about the plan for naval coal in the engine operation - this was compiled by Thorpe. Naval coal is quite special. The Senate does not have the Welsh hard coal known as the "best marine coal" and can only be replaced by the best Hongji coal in the ruling area. Thorpe is preparing to store 2,000 tons of marine coal in Hong Kong, Kaohsiung and Jeju Island.

2,000 tons seems to be a lot. In fact, it is only enough for the entire First Fleet to supply twice. This does not include the consumption of other steam ships that require coal. The actual coal consumption of 854 and 901 during the voyage is still countless in their minds. The 2,000 tons per port is just the reserves calculated by Thorpe based on the capacity.

In addition, hundreds of tons of animal and plant lubricating oil, mechanical spare parts, spare ship materials, crew members' own supply and ammunition supply must be pre-stored at each base.

"The 24 Harmony Ships sound a lot, but they really have to operate. It is very difficult to ensure the normal navigation of the fleet and base construction."

"Who is responsible for the escort of the transport ship?"

"The general plan is to escort in segments."

Chen Haiyang said that the General Queen should be called the United Logistics Headquarters. However, he still habitually uses the familiar word "General Queen".

Because no one can guarantee the mechanical properties of the ship, Thorpe and others can only strengthen~~--Net. Update the first release~~~ maintenance, frequent maintenance, and try to avoid steam engines and ships sailing at sea for a long time.

"Specifically: the escorts departing from Hainan are escorted to Hong Kong by the Coast Guard Type I and II sail patrol boat squadrons. The escorts from Hong Kong to Kaohsiung are under the responsibility of the First Fleet. The escorts from Kaohsiung to Jeju Island are under the responsibility of the Second Fleet."

The second fleet is composed of three other 901 first-class gunboats in the process of being installed and the second-class gunboats of the "Fobo" that are being installed.

The reason why the First Fleet was placed in Kaohsiung was that the main enemies of the Senate: Daming, Liu Xiang and Zheng Zhilong were all active in the oceans of Guangdong, Fujian - especially Zheng Zhilong, whom the Senate regarded as the biggest enemy, was even more focused on the Fujian sea area as its backyard. The main force was also concentrated here. Ensuring free navigation in the Taiwan Strait is the navy's top priority.

"The number of ships in the first and second fleets is limited. Can they afford it?" Mingqiu remembered that in the enemy situation notice, there were North Korean and Ming naval activities near Jeju Island. In addition to Shandong naval forces, the Ming government stationed in the Tianjin Sea, and the Korean navigators often operated in this sea area.

Chen Haiyang said: "The two fleets will each be organized into several sailing special boat squadrons. In addition, when Jeju Island lands, the First Fleet will assist them in destroying local maritime forces and clearing down the Korean navy."

"This is the plan formulated by Li Di."

"Yes, he is now the Chief of Staff. His job."

Although Mingqiu didn't say anything, the expression on his face once again expressed his concerns about the inexperienced Navy Chief of Staff and the Fleet Chief of Staff.

Li Di has been conducting staff training, but he grew up with books and various materials. There is no veteran in the entire Senate who has truly been a naval staff member. Only God knows whether he can become a qualified staff member when reading books.

"He is very young and easy to learn. His performance in the staffing work several times was not bad..." Chen Haiyang seemed to be comforting him.

After a long time, Mingqiu said: "No one can fight when he is born, so he should grow up in actual combat."

Shikawa Hideji is now a corporal. Although he doesn't quite understand the meaning of "corporal", he only knows that he is now a small official under his new employer. This official is called the squad leader - similar to the head of the Shi Qing Group under Daming. He has nine Japanese mercenaries under his command. However, at present, he still has to obey the education sergeant sent by an Australian.

The sergeant is a veteran with good training and first-class combat skills selected by Fu Sansi from the army. The task is to train the recruits into qualified soldiers as soon as possible.

To train qualified soldiers in a short period of time, the Senate's past method was to educate the military sticks. Of course, it was even more unpolite to educate the security army. The training camp was full of three jeans all day long. The slaps and Baga sounds were heard every day.

The promotion of Shuiji Zichuan is determined by two reasons: first, he has been involved in the Chinese business circles, has eaten a king meal, has been a thug, and has worked as a coolie. He is a Japanese mercenary who speaks Chinese well. He is also from a samurai family and has a little knowledge of Sinology and can read and write Chinese characters without any difficulty; secondly, because Shuiji Zichuan is a declining samurai with a name and a surname, and has a decent surname. Most Japanese mercenaries are all kinds of gangs, various pills, and various

Malu, even a certain savage, was extremely proud. He did not dare to vent his anger when he saw a samurai with a surname. According to Japanese customs and laws, samurai were all masters. Even if they couldn't eat, even if they were bare, they would be legitimate to cut off civilians in the street. Of course, Zichuan no longer had to bare his butt and put on the new Australian military uniform. The crotch cloth was replaced with standard knee-length shorts - for ordinary people, shorts and trousers were the main symbols that distinguished the security army and the Fubo army.

According to the Xinde military system, they were assigned as "Public Security Auxiliary Forces" - referred to as "Public Security Army".

The Public Security Army is different from the National Army. As the name suggests, the National Army is composed of "nationals" and undertakes local garrison work for armed police in old time and space. The Public Security Army is not necessarily composed of "nationals", mainly composed of mercenaries. It mainly undertakes the security and storm of newly occupied areas and cooperates with the regular army to carry out public security wars. Therefore, its organization, equipment and personnel composition has another set: the source of soldiers is diverse, and the equipment has also been simplified - trousers are just one of them.

The Fubo army wore trousers mainly because the field troops had to climb mountains and wade, and trousers could reduce thorn scratches and mosquito bites. In addition, there were several accidents in previous training - when soldiers lifted the Minerg rifle, their pants sometimes hang hammers, so the European army in the flintlock era wore tight pants, and they tied their upper bodies with complex armament belts, and the hem of the coat should be tied back before the battle.

The Minnie gun is much safer than the flintlock gun: because the fire hat can only be installed after lifting the gun. However, it is not guaranteed that the hammer will not cause sparks to hit the air fire hat room, or someone will put the gun down. After learning from the lessons, the clothing factory modified the style of the new military uniform. The jeans were redesigned, and the pants were placed on the side and back, and the leggings were added to avoid danger.

However, the Public Security Army mainly stays in residential areas and maneuveres along the roads. Generally, there is no need to climb mountains and wading. The British colonial military shorts have little disadvantages. Some people suggest that the Public Security Army is not only on duty in tropical areas, but also in the winter of Hainan and Taiwan in this time and space, it is a bit unbearable to wear shorts. However, the Planning Institute's answer is that the current training stage can be overcome - the weather is not cold now, so it's better to change your trousers if you really can't stand it. ~. < Shuhai Pavilion >-~
