"Although you can't go south with me, the tasks here are also very important. I will continue to strengthen coastal defense construction and Dongdi Kingdom."
After hearing what Gao Shaoyi said, Ding Kui's face showed joy again.
The main enemy in the northern sea area is the Dongdi Kingdom, so many people in the Navy have a deep hatred for the Dongdi Kingdom. In that war, the Beiyang Navy was almost completely destroyed. If Gao Shaoyi had not stood up, I am afraid that there would be more than one Northern Company now.
There are no thousand-ton ships. Now that we have such a powerful fleet, of course we have to go around Dongdi's doorstep to let them taste the feeling of being threatened, and at the same time let them know our strength.
Four heavy cruisers, eleven light cruisers, twenty-two destroyers, six supply ships...
Ding Kui simply couldn't imagine all this. When this fleet appeared on the coast of Dongdi Kingdom, what kind of expression would the people of Dongdi Kingdom have? We have suffered enough from your oppression over the years.
Now it's our turn to feel proud.
"Why are you still crying?"
Ding Kui didn't say anything for a long time. Gao Shaoyi felt that the man next to him was shaking. He looked up and found that there were tears in Ding Kui's eyes.
To be honest, Gao Shaoyi may not understand what Ding Kui is thinking now, but in the current situation, Ding Kui is indeed very grateful to Gao Shaoyi. Without Gao Shaoyi, they may never have the opportunity to drive a warship to Dongdi
country's coast.
"I…"
There are some words that Ding Kui can't say now, and his voice is already a bit choked up. Gao Shaoyi patted Ding Kui on the shoulder to express his understanding. Nearly 90% of his old brothers from the Beiyang Fleet have died.
"That was thirty years ago, when I was still the youngest person in the fleet. At that time, everyone took care of me. Even when the ship sank, these people gave me their only chance..."
Ding Kui looked out the window, but his mind was thinking about the past few decades.
The Daqian Dynasty spent a lot of money at that time, and also built the most powerful fleet in the entire East, but unfortunately this is just a face-saving thing. It's not that brothers don't work hard. We have seized all opportunities to learn, hoping to improve ourselves.
of combat effectiveness.
But unfortunately, the Navy is a money-burning service. If the money cannot keep up, no matter how hard you try, you will not be able to improve your combat effectiveness. Even if we want to risk our lives, you will not be able to control this ship at all.
How can we fight for warships?
How did this happen? It's not because the funding from above can't be released, and there is very little time for training. The warships spend most of their time in the port, and there is no chance to go out to practice, even if they see Dongdi Country
A warship wants to ram into it, and they dodge flexibly on the sea. Due to lack of training, you don't even know the angles of turning, can you hit them?
"Everything has passed. Now our fleet is stronger than before. It's time to have a battle to prove your efforts during this period. I won't let you go south. There is another reason, that is, you have to give me the north.
Just keep an eye on it. Your remaining fleet is not very strong this time, but I will send people to support you in the meantime. The issue of training manpower must not be relaxed."
Gao Shaoyi already has a plan in mind. After the fleet arrives in Nandong Province, it will also conduct training there, and then look for areas to annihilate the enemy in the southern seas.
Time has not stopped at this time. Gao Shaoyi will continue to redeem warships in Nandong Province, but the quality of sailors there may not be so high. Three officers and non-commissioned officer schools have been formed in the north, and some naval combatants will be exported every moment.
.
Of course, the combat effectiveness of these people may not be very good, but there is still no problem in driving the warship back.
"Isn't this our limit?"
Ding Kui's head hit the roof of the car, of course because what Gao Shaoyi just said was too hard to believe. Except for the southward fleet that Gao Shaoyi took away, although the size of the northern fleet was scattered among several ports, if all of them were
If assembled, they might not be much weaker than this southbound fleet.
In this case, new warships may appear...
How much has the Duke in front of us hidden from us?
"You can't imagine our limits. This is where I'm dissatisfied with you. You go back and expand your limits yourself. How could this be our limit? We will continue to sail around the world in the future and let everyone
People are in awe of us and become the masters of human beings on this planet. This is our goal of development."
Gao Shaoyi said very dissatisfied, but he also expressed his understanding to these people. After all, there is still a certain gap between these people's ideas and his own. If he imposes his own ideas on these people, it would be a bit too much.
, people don’t have as many brains as you think.
After arriving at the military camp, Gao Shaoyi discovered that the infantry brigade that followed him south had been expanded to a ridiculous extent. It was now as large as an infantry division, and even exceeded an infantry division in some aspects.
According to the current size of the Suppression Army, an infantry division has about 50,000 people. Although the current infantry brigade has less than 50,000 people, it has reached 48,000 people.
"How did you get into this brigade commander position?"
Gao Shaoyi looked at Wang Laoer standing in front of him and felt a little dissatisfied. It turned out that this brigade commander was definitely not this guy.
"Young Master, I am so shameless to beg you. Look at my eldest brother who is enjoying great fame on the northern grasslands. Look at our fourth brother, who also followed you in the north and south. Look at me..."
Wang Laoer's real name was Wang Tiecheng, and he was the second eldest among the four brothers of the Wang family. However, in terms of actual military exploits, this guy really couldn't reach this position. This time he shamelessly jumped up and down and finally became the commander of the infantry brigade.
This guy disrupted all Gao Shaoyi's plans, but considering that this guy has always been loyal and so on, and the gap between the brothers can't be too big, not to mention this guy's ability is also good, otherwise my father will also
I won't leave him to myself.
"Every day I hear that people sharpen their heads and go up. I have never heard of people who become division commanders and then brigade commanders. I'll give you three days to reorganize all the troops into the ninth infantry division of the Suppression Army. I'll still be yours.
Division Commander, the entire army is advancing on motorization. If you can successfully drive to Nandong Province, then I agree. If you can't get through, you can get on the bus back to the capital wherever it stops."
Motorization advancement? Rely on these cars? Not by railway? How much territory does it have to pass through?
