Seeing that everyone is doing something like that, and the steel mill is already producing a steady stream of steel, his second knife has no experience in factory work at all, so he doesn't make up his mind.

Wei Bao knows that many things need to be honed slowly by time.

Therefore, Weibao did not blindly pursue output, but let them put quality first while meeting the military production!

"We've been doing what the president asks." The director of the steel mill pointed to the large letters posted on the wall.

Safety first, quality first.

Wei Bao nodded, secretly a little funny, as if he had traveled to the old movie, the iron and steel enterprises in the fifties when Huaxia had just been built.

It is not a matter of being able to rely on anyone and make it like this by yourself, although it is still in the workshop stage, but it is also more powerful than the technology of the workshop of this era.

The most important thing is that since the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Zhu Youxiao, officially gave Weijiazhuang to Wei Bao, these steel-making and iron-making things, Heaven and Earth will no longer have to hide them, as long as they are not dumped in the Ming mainland, no one will care about them.

Originally, after shopping for a whole afternoon, everyone thought that President Wei was going back.

Wei Bao didn't seem to be tired, and went to visit the President's Guard barracks in Gunship Bay again.

The headquarters of the Army Guard and the Coast Guard, as well as the headquarters of the President's Guard, are still located in Warship Bay.

However, the work of the Ground Guard and the Coast Guard is actually mainly in southern Liaoning.

"By the way, we have an air force, right?" After Wei Bao saw the warrior and the rifle, he suddenly remembered something and asked the madman Tan beside him.

"Yes." Madman Tan thought it was a little funny when he talked about the Air Force.

Crazy Tan didn't understand what President Wei thought, and returned to the Air Force, why don't you just get a few people and make a balloon to go to the sky, what can you do?

The balloon can't control the direction, and it has to be tied to the cart underneath, for fear of being blown away by the wind. If only I could fly around on my own.

In this way, it is necessary to fly with traction below, and there is no real combat value.

"Call them over, rehearse, and I'll see how well they've been training during this time." Wei Bao said with interest.

Madman Tan and several officers of the military sub-district looked at each other.

One of the regimental commanders in charge of the president's guard asked, "What does the president mean by letting them fly hot air balloons?" ”

"Hmm." Wei Bao smiled: "I suddenly had an idea, if we can, we can let the hot air balloon be tied to the boat, and use the hot air balloon to attack Shengjing in Jiannu, the hot air balloon is in the sky, Jiannu's bow and arrow can shoot at most a hundred meters, and it can't hit us at all, Jiannu has no sailors, and the warship that wants to hit us can't hit it." Moreover, the warship was loaded with artillery, and thousands of ship-borne infantry guards were sent to kill as many Jiannu as possible. This was much more efficient than having the army hold off Jiannu's iron cavalry on both sides of the Yalu River. If this tactic is feasible, Jiannu will negotiate peace with us and abandon the plan to attack the two provinces of Korea. ”

"You can give it a try, but the hot air balloon can rise to a maximum of a thousand meters, the rope is long enough, and the wind has to cooperate, after all, the Shengjing City of Jiannu is not by the river, at least it is seven or eight miles away, and it is too far away. Our warships can only be in the water, and they can't run out of the Hunhe River. Madman Tan said: "Also, president, the hot air balloon can only hold very light things, otherwise it won't be very high, even if it can float to the head of Jiannu's city and throw a few grenades, the effect is not very great, right?" The distance is too high, and it is not easy to grasp the release time. ”

Wei Bao nodded, the secret Dao Tan madman is still very progressive, he used to be brave and brave, but now he will consider so many factors, and said with a smile: "What kind of grenades and high-altitude strikes are used, you must use cannonballs!" Don't we have grenadiers? ”

"Grenadier? But you can, but the grenadiers are so heavy, the shells are not light, and they are so high, they can't be hit accurately, they can't carry a lot of shells, and they can't hit accurately, so they don't have any practical effect, right? Madman Tan asked.

"This is where you want to improve, you can't just think about the military, you have to cooperate with politics!" Wei Bao said: "No matter how lethal it is, hitting Jiannu's lair is a huge deterrent for Jiannu!" Can hundreds of thousands of Jiannu not be at ease, their hearts are uneasy, and their combat power is not greatly reduced? Cooperate with the propaganda campaign of the Statistics Department and tell them, don't fight our idea, as long as we really reconcile with our heaven and earth, we will not easily beat them, and even cooperate secretly and privately! You say, is it useful or not? ”

Madman Tan nodded thoughtfully, "Scary is enough. If someone had the ability to bypass all the peripherals and directly attack Jinshan City in Weijiazhuang, the entire Heaven and Earth Society and the entire area under the rule of the Heaven and Earth Society would be panicked. ”

"I think it's okay, not only can we avoid fighting with Jiannu on both sides of the Yalu River, but also with Jiannu in Pyongan Province and Hamgyong Province in North Korea, and it doesn't take much effort. If Jiannu desperately attacked our infantry position, we had the help of the cannons on the warships, and sent the most elite infantry to build a small defensive position along the bank of the Hunhe River, and prepare a long-term garrison posture, Jiannu would definitely have a headache. Who can stand it? Someone throws something over the head every day to blow it up, even if it doesn't necessarily hit people, the movement every day is annoying. Wang Qiuya said with a smile.

Wei Bao smiled and nodded, and said to Madman Tan: "Quickly let people practice, if it is feasible, you arrange it immediately, and this matter will be handed over to your presidential guard!" It does not affect the deployment of troops of the DPRK Army Guard and Garrison Command. ”

"Yes! President. Madman Tan stood up and immediately trotted with a few officers to make arrangements.

Although the Air Force has only about 100 personnel, it is also very diligent in training in peacetime, and it will take a while to prepare for the exercise.

I moved the hot air balloons out and started preparing for liftoff.

Hot air ballooning is the use of heated air or certain gases, such as hydrogen or helium, which are less dense than the air outside the balloon to create buoyancy flight.

The hot air balloon mainly adjusts the temperature of the air in the airbag through its own on-board heater, so as to achieve the purpose of controlling the balloon lifting.

The basic principle of hot air balloon is thermal expansion and cold contraction.

When the air expands when heated, the specific gravity becomes lighter and rises upward.

The hot air balloon consists of three parts: a balloon, a basket and a heating device.

The ball skin is made of reinforced nylon.

But Weijiazhuang has not mastered the skilled technology at this time, and it is all sewn with thick leather, and the effect is not very good, so there are very few things that can be carried, and at most a few hundred catties of weight will be lifted into the air.

And the balloon is also prone to air leakage and fall from the sky.

Every time they take off, the fighters are on the lookout and have to be ready to parachute at any time.

The gondola is made of rattan weaving, which acts as a cushioning effect when landing.

At the request of President Wei, ten hot air balloons were tied to ten warships and lifted into the air.

A target at sea is to be targeted.

The subject matter is a full ten miles away from the shore, and the warship is docked on the shore and does not leave.

Think of this coast as the bank of the Hunhe River, and imagine the subject matter as the Shengjing City of Jiannu.

Wei Bao waited patiently for more than an hour before a few hot air balloons lifted off, which was really a bit slow.

But there is no way, but to rely on manpower to blow and burn.

The Air Force people were negligent in the past, and they practiced less grenadiers, and each basket contained two people, one for the Air Force and the other for only one Army that could use grenadiers.

The grenadier of the Baojun is a regular piece of army equipment that President Wei is very satisfied with, because of the short preparation time for launch, it is widely used as a self-defense firearm in the headquarters.

The warhead weighs about 800 grams, has a range of 300 meters, a fast rate of fire, can hit more than 10 rounds in a minute, and has a killing radius of about 5 meters.

In addition to firing specialized grenades, grenadiers can also fire standard grenades.

The grenadier is essentially a light mortar, its main features are a large angle of fire, a curved trajectory and a short range.

It is mainly used to kill and injure the enemy hiding behind fortifications and concealments or to kill and injure the enemy's living force at a long distance, its killing effect is good, it is easy to operate, and can be accompanied by a single soldier to move with the first-line infantry to support the first-line infantry.

It is highly concealed due to its individual portability and the ability to launch behind obstacles.

The grenadiers are carried by special ammunition bags, one of which can carry eight grenades, and a two-person grenadier group of 16.

Packed in a basket, in order not to affect the lift-off, only about twenty grenades can be placed at full capacity.

In actual combat, the Bao army often used a mixture of poison gas bombs and grenades, causing great damage to the enemy.

When firing, the shooter pulls the firing lever first, and then the ammunition is loaded by the ammunition hand from the barrel mouth to complete the installation of the ammunition.

Hold the canister with the left hand, turn the handle according to the target distance until the adjustment lever reaches the corresponding length, the shooter takes a rough aim through the aiming line, pulls the belt on the firing machine, and fires the bottom of the explosive to shoot the grenade out.

Since the propellant at the bottom has not changed, the angle of the grenadier is adjusted to determine the firing distance and aim at the target, so only an experienced grenadier can accurately hit the target.

The grenadier canister is lightweight, easy to carry, and provides timely fire support.

Mortars of the same caliber of the Baojun army generally exceed at least 6 kilograms, and the grenadier is less than 3 kilograms, which is much lighter than the weight of mortars, and is very suitable for individual carrying.

Due to their light weight, grenadier crews will not be able to fight with front-line infantry in time due to the heavy load of mortar or heavy machine gun crews.

In real combat, grenadier groups can even charge with the infantry.

The power is good, and the most important thing is that the cost is low.

The killing radius of the grenadier is about 5 to 8 meters, and a grenade can kill and injure dozens of people if it falls in a crowd, which is not bad for a 50 mm caliber.

The grenadier cost only half the cost of a rifle.

Therefore, in the treasure army, a large number of equipment, not only the battalion-level headquarters, each company has dozens of grenadiers.

The grenadier can also fire chemical weapons, and in the most difficult offensive or defensive battles, mortars and grenadiers are used in large quantities.

This is also one of the main reasons why the Baojun has always been able to curb Jiannu's crazy desire to recapture southern Liaoning at a very small cost.

"President, the wind direction today is not very helpful, it is a little off." Madman Tan held up the binoculars and said to President Wei.

"What's a little bit off? It's because you just chose the subject matter crookedly. Tell them to hurry up, we're just going to see the results. Wei Bao said: "It's really actual combat, you have to calculate the direction of the wind in advance." ”

"Yes, President." Madman Tan replied.

I saw ten long ropes pulling the ten hot air balloons that lifted into the air, and the hot air balloons were all tied to the warship, otherwise they would be blown away and die at sea.

Wei Bao is not only to prepare for this battle, but also wants to try the possibility of hot air balloons in actual combat, and if he can, he can also use hot air balloons in future naval battles.

After all, it is too difficult for the artillery of this era to become more advanced at once.

If there is a hot air balloon overhead to drop the bomb accurately, and the opponent has nothing to do, it will be more convenient.

There were not many naval battles in the Ming Dynasty, and the Battle of Tuen Mun or the Battle of the Pearl River Estuary was one.

In the 16th year of Ming Zhengde, in 1521, Wang Hong, the deputy envoy of the Guangdong Sea Road, commanded the Tuen Mun area to fight against the Franco, which refers to the Portuguese in ancient times, launched a war, which was the first battle against the Western colonialists and ended in the victory of the Ming Dynasty.

The Battle of Xicaowan, or the Battle of Qiancaowan, in the first year of Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty, in 1522, there was a naval battle between the Ming Dynasty Navy and the Francois Navy in Xicaowan, Guangdong, which also ended in the victory of the Ming Navy.

The Portuguese gradually gave up the use of force to force the Ming dynasty to switch trade.

In November of the 26th year of Wanli of the Ming Dynasty, in 1598, in the Ming Dynasty's Wanli War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and Aid Korea, a large-scale naval battle was fought between the Chinese and North Korean sailors and the Japanese sailors in the waters west of Luliang on the Korean Peninsula, which was known as the Battle of Luliang in history.

In the end, the Japanese fleet was completely annihilated, and this battle dealt a major annihilating blow to the invading Japanese army, and played an important role in the formation of the 300-year peace situation in Korea after the war.

In the thirtieth year of Wanli, in 1602, the Dutch established the East India Company and began to fight for the Eastern colonies.

In the second year of the Apocalypse, in 1622, the Dutch fleet occupied Penghu, and the Ming court ordered Nan Juyi, the governor of Fujian, to drive the Dutch out of Penghu and launched the Battle of Penghu.

But the Dutch warships blocked the mouth of Zhangzhou, and the Ming naval division could not be dispatched.

In November 1623, the third year of the Apocalypse, Nan Juyi deliberately invited the Dutch to Xiamen to negotiate, imprisoned the Dutch delegation at the banquet, and took the opportunity to attack and burn the Dutch warships that invaded the coast of the Ming Dynasty.

In February 1624, in the fourth year of the Apocalypse, Nan Juyi, the governor of Fujian, personally took a boat to Kinmen and ordered the Ming army to cross the sea to recover Penghu.

However, the Dutch army relied on strong fortifications and warships to resist stubbornly, and Penghu could not be attacked for a long time.

In July, Nan Juyi sent the support of the Musket troops, and the Ming army launched a general attack, which lasted until the Hongmao City of Fengjiazai, and then the two sides formed a stalemate.

In August, the Ming army again divided into three routes, approaching Yicheng, and the Dutch were desperate and had to evacuate Penghu, which had been occupied for two years. The Ming Dynasty won the Battle of Penghu and successfully recovered Penghu.

In July 1633, the Dutch governor of Taiwan, Putmans, led thirteen Dutch warships to attack the Ming coastal area in a surprise attack. The Dutch proposed that the Chinese should immediately stop trade with Spain, Portugal and other countries, and that they could only trade with the Dutch alone, otherwise the war would continue, but this unreasonable demand was rejected by the Ming Dynasty, and the 9 Dutch fleets participating in the war and the more than 50 pirate fleets recruited by the Dutch were all wiped out.

The Battle of Liuluo Bay was an unprecedented defeat for the Dutch in the Far East, and Zheng Zhilong's sailors finally seized all the control of the East Asian sea from Japan to the South China Sea. From then on, the Dutch paid an annual tribute of 120,000 francs to the Ming fleet to ensure safety in the Far Eastern waters. This was undoubtedly a humiliation for the maritime hegemons of Europe at that time.
