"Men can be trusted, sows will go up trees!" Chen Yuxue, a long-legged beauty with a good figure, gritted her teeth and said.

On October 26, 1639, the composition of the new class of battleships "Southeast Asia 10" was announced at the naval headquarters in Rising Sun City today!

The first captain was the red-haired Fan Kaustit, and the deputy captains were Yan Donglai, Hong Xiguan and Chen Yuxue.

Yes, Yan Dashao promised her to serve as the deputy captain of the new first-class battleship, but there are three deputy captains, and she ranks third, in the division of labor, the red-haired fan Kaustit is the captain in charge of the overall work, Yan Donglai is in charge of firearms, Hong Xiguan is in charge of logistics chores, political warfare and marines, then Miss Chen Yuxue is in charge of navigation!

There are four captains and deputy captains and deputy captains and deputy captains who have the right to sail the voyage, and everyone is on duty in shifts, and the command of the navigation will be on duty a little more night shift, really, not taking care of girls at all!

According to her thoughts, it is best to be the deputy captain of the gunnery, specializing in killing people and setting fires, but unfortunately the position is occupied, but fortunately, the military department explained that the "Southeast Asia No. 10" is a training ship, and the personnel on the ship will conduct rotation training, which will be a round every six months, which makes Chen Yuxue slightly satisfied.

Before the "Southeast Asia No. 10" was launched, the officers and men who were scheduled to use the old battleship of the Southeast class for training, this battleship with a two-story gun deck was actually not old, and it had only been in service for more than 10 years, with 50 guns, a total of four, all of which are currently used for training officers and men.

With her good skills, Chen Yuxue quickly commanded the old battleship and reached a superior level, leaving those who wanted to find fault with her speechless.

The days flew by in training, and finally on December 28, the "Southeast Asia 10" was launched!

On that day, the "Southern Shipyard" in the Rising Sun City was full of colorful flags, drums and music, and it was very lively.

Construction began on the shipyard the year after the capture of Batavia in 1635 and had six docks, which are still being expanded to twelve.

The Southeast Province needed a large number of ships to meet the need to control the boundless seas, and they had to build battleships, cruisers, merchant ships, fishing boats, and countless others.

Yan Changwu and Yang Ying'er, plus a group of senior officials such as Mrs. Ying and Li Xiangjun of the Japanese Kingdom, as well as a group of senior officials such as Chen Xinji, senior officers of the military department, as well as social elites, representatives from all walks of life, etc., attended the launching ceremony.

Representatives from all walks of life included all those who could come from the territory under the jurisdiction of the Southeast Prefecture, as well as outstanding students from various schools, including military cadets, college students, middle school students and elementary school students.

Speaking of which, the Southeast Mansion likes this kind of lively ceremony very much, Yan Changwu has always been open-minded, and gathered his people to welcome the launch of the new warship, he is not afraid of being spied on the military situation, and he is generous and open, a hundred years of the navy, he has been operating for more than ten years, how can others learn.

Everyone was also willing to join in, because in addition to meeting the leader, there were always some souvenirs, such as a silver commemorative coin to commemorate the launch of the new battleship, a saber (this item is not given to elementary and junior high school students), and a beautiful picture book about the new battleship.

The ship "Southeast Asia 10" is parked in the dock, this is a streamlined and graceful third class battleship!

The mast is tall and the muzzle of the cannon is particularly powerful, which makes everyone feel comfortable when they see it.

With this battleship, what can't I do in the southeast province?!

Listening to the officials of the Ministry of War introduce this battleship, it has a displacement of 2,000 tons, which is quite fat, with 30 32-pounder guns, 30 24-pounder guns, 16 9-pounder guns, and a full 76 guns!

In particular, the 32-pounder gun, which was successfully developed by the Taiwan Artillery Factory two years ago, has undergone a two-year test in order to ensure quality, and its caliber is 15.9 centimeters, weighs two and a half tons, and has a firing range of up to 1,350 meters at an angle of 4 degrees, and 2,250 meters when the angle of fire is raised to 8 degrees, but its attack power at its longest range is undoubtedly much weaker.

But at a range of three hundred meters, this is a terrible weapon, capable of penetrating oak up to two meters thick!

Now there are two of these guns under the rostrum for people to see.

Introduced the situation of the battleship, it was the turn of the leader to speak, Yan Changwu did not give in, talked about the significance of the launch of this battleship, it is the second type of battleship designed by the southeast province itself, it is the most powerful battleship in the southeast province at present, its construction completion shows that the shipbuilding ability of the southeast province has jumped to a new level, it has a high endurance, self-sustaining power and seaworthiness, with strong firepower, it will definitely become the strength to maintain the security and maritime interests of the southeast province, and become the sword of the southeast province to control the sea!

The words are concise and to the point, but everyone is lively and boiling, and they applaud frequently!

The long-legged girl Chen Yuxue was also listening, she paid more attention to Yang Yinger, and saw that this "housemother" was really beautiful and full of charm!

The Yang family has a foreign mixed race, and the appearance is high, which is eye-catching,

Chen Yuxue had never seen the Yang family before, and it seems that today it is no wonder that she has won the favor of the leader, and the housework is entrusted to her!

However, Chen Yuxue also has her pride, with her own ability, she has made a lot of contributions, and she can control a battleship!

Feeling Chen Yuxue staring at her, Yang smiled at her with a gentle and generous attitude!

Suddenly, Chen Yuxue lowered her head embarrassedly! She's a little three!

"Southeast Asia 10" adopts a water-filled dock launch, that is, the hull is built on a wooden frame laid in the dock, and after the hull structure is basically completed, it begins to fill the dock with water, and when the hull floats, it is towed out by a tugboat.

This method is rather "tedious", and the more spectacular and decent way to launch is the slipway launch, that is, the big man loudly announces the name of the ship, and then hits the bow with a champagne bottle, accompanied by a sonorous crash and splashing champagne foam, the cable that holds the hull is cut by a special axe, and the colored balls hanging from the bow are opened, from which the ribbon paper flowers are floated, accompanied by the majestic music, the red hull will slowly slide down the slipway into the water in tens of seconds.

In order to make the launching ceremony of the new battleship more ornamental, the personnel of the Southern Shipyard racked their brains to devise a plan, erected a salute by the dock, and when the hull floated and was dragged out of the dock, a large number of pieces of multicolored paper were used to shoot out the salute, and at the same time loudly announced the launch of "Southeast Asia 10"!

Three animals were set up at the scene, and incense cases were set up.

Yan Changwu personally took the lead, worshiped Mazu Niangniang, and asked her old man to bless this battleship and bless the southeast mansion for a long time!

Yan Changwu was the first to offer, Yang Yinger was the first to offer, and finally Chen Xinji.

Then the military flag was awarded, and the captain of the ship, Costit, stepped forward and received the military flag of the stars, the sea, and the mountains from Yan Dashao's hand.

This Hongmaofan's combat level is good, the key is that his sailing experience is particularly rich, he has been to many places, in the Mediterranean, Atlantic, Indian Ocean, Red Sea, East and West Indies, Pacific Ocean, etc., everything is not pulled, and he is also very good at teaching, and his Chinese level is quite good, can speak fluent Chinese, communication is not a problem.

He accepted the flag and showed it to everyone.

In the roar of the salute, the dock entered the water, and the battleship floated up, beginning to show its magnificent body, ready to show its skills and defeat the enemy at sea for the Chinese nation!

The tugboat dragged the "Southeast Asia No. 10" into the sea, and the thunderous applause lasted for a long time, and everyone's palms were smashed!

That night, Mr. White, the British Senior Trade Representative to the Southeastern Province, who was invited to attend the launching ceremony, wrote in his diary that "the yellow peril is not far away"!
