() In order to distinguish military ranks, the military uniforms of Taiwan’s army, navy and air force have unified military rank markings. First of all, there are obvious cap badges on the military caps. The red cap badge represents the air force, the blue cap badge represents the navy, and the gold cap badge represents
Air Force; then there are the epaulettes. In addition to using colors to distinguish the arms, there are different patterns and lines on the epaulettes to distinguish soldiers and officers;
Troop number and specific information. In addition to this information, every soldier and officer has an alloy identification tag like the Americans. In addition to detailed information such as name, place of origin, age, unit number, blood type, etc., it also
There is a string of 12-digit digital code. This digital code is a code developed by the military intelligence agency of the Ministry of National Defense. It records the wearer's enlistment time, file number and registration information in the Ministry of Defense. In addition to the national defense
Outside the Ministry of Military Intelligence, most people cannot understand it and it is difficult to interpret it. Therefore, this identity tag is the most authoritative item that distinguishes a soldier's identity.
In addition to standing weapons such as semi-automatic rifles, light machine guns, heavy machine guns, grenades, mortars, howitzers, armored vehicles, and mines, the weapons development department in the institute has also developed a flamethrower in recent years. This kind of
The new weapon proposed by Liu Fu and developed by the R&D department is powered by high-pressure air. When used, the thickened gasoline can be sprayed 40 meters away and ignited. This thickened gasoline is made of a
It is made from pesticides produced in Taiwan mixed with gasoline. It has a stronger burning ability than ordinary gasoline and has strong adhesion ability. Moreover, because it contains highly toxic pesticides, the smoke after burning is also very harmful to people.
This kind of flamethrower, which Liu Fu named "water gun", has a total weight of only 23 kilograms and contains 9 liters of thickened gasoline. In order to prevent the tank from being hit by stray bullets and causing an explosion, the Army Machinery Factory that produces this kind of flamethrower
A bulletproof steel cover like an iron pot was specially made to attach to the fuel cylinder and high-pressure gas cylinder.
Although the Army doesn't like this weapon very much, because they think it is better to kill the enemy with one shot than to burn it to death. Moreover, this kind of sprayer has to travel to a place dozens of meters away from the enemy to fire. Isn't that looking for death? However,
Under Liu Fu's special attention, the Taiwan Army still ordered and equipped the troops, and in accordance with Liu Fu's order, strived to equip every battalion with this flamethrower as a special weapon within one year.
use.
In addition to flamethrowers, the institute has also developed a weapon for the army. However, this weapon is still in an extremely confidential stage. This weapon was named the "Pesticide" project by Liu Fu. Except for a few participants,
Even most officials in the War Department didn't know.
After talking about the army, it’s time for the navy. Since the first battle to defend Taiwan, the navy has never fought any large-scale naval battles. In addition to blocking the southwestern waters of Japan and several routes to Japan, it has launched
Submarines and armed merchant ships cruised around the offshore waters of Japan, Ryukyu, the Philippines, Vietnam, Hainan Island and other places, collecting local water temperature, tides, continental shelves, and hydrological data on sea depth, and then handed them over to the Navy Ministry for unified calculation.
After sorting, draw a more detailed chart.
Although there are no large-scale maritime operations, Liu Fu has not reduced investment in the construction of the Taiwan Navy. The original Big Yellow Fish-class and Tuna-class submarines have been decommissioned and mothballed. The Shark-class submarines have also gradually been replaced with new diesel engines and electric motors.
Radio, sonar and other equipment, coupled with the continuous improvement of 533mm heavy-duty torpedoes, have improved its seaworthiness, communication capabilities and attack power. A new "Orca-class" ocean-going attack submarine has also been developed
, but it is still on the drawing board and construction has not started yet.
At present, the total number of Taiwan's submarine forces remains at around 150. Due to restrictions on naval bases and berths, it is temporarily unable to equip more submarines in large quantities.
In addition to its submarine force, Taiwan's surface ships have also developed rapidly in the past decade. After years of improvements, the original Keelung-class destroyer has been derived into three models: diesel-powered, steam turbine and gas turbine. Eight diesel-powered destroyers have been built.
, 4 ships driven by steam turbines have been built, while only one ship driven by gas turbines has been built. Since the performance of high-power gas turbines is not yet stable, it is of experimental nature.
In addition, three continental-class heavy cruisers have been built, two of which are driven by diesel engines, and the latest one is powered by a steam turbine. As the aircraft carrier that Liu Fu values most, only one and a half has been completed.
One "Chi Guo" has been outfitted and has been incorporated into the Taiwan Navy's first aircraft carrier formation. It is cooperating with the naval aviation to conduct secret tactical training in the waters southeast of Taiwan; and the second "Growth" has been launched.
, is being outfitted, and it is estimated that it will take until the end of the year to complete the installation and debugging of all equipment and join the navy. As for the planned third ship "Guangmu", the keel has just been laid at the Keelung Naval Shipyard, and it is estimated that it will join the navy.
For the Navy sequence, you have to wait about 2 years.
Liu Fu found the names of these aircraft carriers from a Buddhist scripture. The naming of these aircraft carriers really gave Liu Fu a headache for several days. Because the ink in his stomach was a bit thin, he finally had to resort to
I finally found inspiration in a Buddhist scripture.
In fact, Liu Fu knows a lot about the names of later aircraft carriers, such as the British Royal Navy's Ark Royal and the Hundred-Eyed Giant; the Japanese Combined Fleet's Hosho, Ryujo, Amagi, and Shinano; and the U.S. Navy's Yorktown.
, Lexington, etc., but the names of these aircraft carriers are the names of other countries, gods and cities. The only one that is considered a quasi-aircraft carrier has a Chinese name, Liaoning. But now Liaoning belongs to the Republic of China. For Liu
For Fu, it was a foreign country, and using a foreign city name as the name of his country's aircraft carrier was a bit nondescript, so Liu Fu decided to give it a more Chinese name.
"Guo Guo", "Growth", "Guang Mu" and "Duo Wen" are the titles of the four heavenly kings in Chinese Buddhism. They are not only gods, but also have the meaning of "good weather", so Liu Fu felt
It was quite auspicious, so it was used as the name of the aircraft carrier, and this type of aircraft carrier was defined as the "Tianwang Class". However, since the Taiwan Navy only plans to build 3 aircraft carriers, the title "Duowen" was
It may not be visible for the time being.
With an aircraft carrier, you cannot live without aircraft. In fact, it is much easier to build aircraft than warships in this era. Aircraft in this era are still in their infancy, and the only component on the aircraft requires comprehensive capabilities such as scientific research and manufacturing.
It is the gasoline engine of the aircraft. What Taiwan is best at is small gasoline and diesel engines, because Liu Fu brought some prototypes from later generations, and except for some materials, these prototypes are basically the same as the engines of later generations.
Already.
After starting to develop aircraft in Taiwan, Liu Fu did not order mass production, but only produced a small part for training pilots. After nearly ten years of flying and training, he not only trained a large number of skilled pilots, but also
Many aircraft design and manufacturing problems were found.
It was not until the construction of aircraft carriers began that the Taiwan Air Force and Naval Aviation Forces began to equip several newly produced fighters and bombers. Among them, the Air Force planned to equip 200 "Wild Duck" bombers and transport aircraft and 100 "Wild Duck" type bombers and transport aircraft by the end of 1913.
"Warship Bird" type Army fighter jets. The Naval Aviation Force plans to equip 300 "Booby Bird" type fighters and 300 "Warship Bird" type fighters for the first aircraft carrier formation that has been formed and the second aircraft carrier fleet that is about to be formed.
The third aircraft carrier formation.
Although by current standards, Taiwan's naval, land, and air force equipment have exceeded the level of this era, the biggest shortcoming is that it lacks stamina and is more than sufficient for defense. Once involved in a long-term or large-scale offensive operation, the front line
If it takes too long, given Taiwan's current industrial manufacturing capacity and resource reserves, it will run out of ammunition and food in less than a year. Therefore, Liu Fu does not plan to make any big moves in the First World War, but instead focuses on
Placed in several places around.
The first is the Philippine Islands. Due to geographical location, this is a piece of land that Liu Fu must win. Judging from the current situation, he is 50% sure of getting the Philippines. The remaining 50% depends on the outcome of the negotiations between the United States and the Philippines.
After the Americans withdrew from the Philippines, how did Taiwan enter the Philippines and actually occupy it?
In addition, Liu Fu also set his sights on Vietnam, a French colony. For Taiwan, which lacked metal resources, Vietnam was a big piece of meat. According to what Liu Fu learned in later generations and the introduction in the travel brochure, Vietnam
Not only is it rich in mineral resources, but there are also many types, and the quality is even better. Among them, coal, iron, aluminum, and oil are all resources that Taiwan urgently needs. If it can occupy Vietnam, it will play a decisive role in Liu Fu's future development.
