Chapter 739: The Navy's First, Second, and Third Fleets Are Established!
"Tuoba, straighten your military uniform again!"
"Guo Jie, your military uniform is not good!"
"Yiyi, you are ingenious, or you come!"
In the morning, from the naval officer's barracks at the Huben Army naval base in Partridge Bay, the voices of three young men talking happily were heard.
Tuoba Momo, Guo Jie, and Wu Yiyi, three young people, are all captains of the Cangshan ship of the Tiger Army. Don't look at their eldest, they are less than twenty-five years old, they have been adrift at sea for at least a year. They used to be young cadets at the Huben Army Naval Academy, and later served as captains of the Cangshan ship. Today, their identities are about to change again.
"Hey, I said you two, it's really mud that can't hold up the wall!"
"This is the most beautiful military uniform I've ever seen, as long as it's a person, it's very handsome to wear, but you two, how can you wear it like a monkey?"
"I think you better find a mother-in-law to get married as soon as possible, so I don't want to help you two with military uniforms every time! I'm a man, not a woman! ”
Wu Yiyi frowned and said.
As he spoke, he had to give the two guys white navy dresses himself.
Wu Yiyi's name sounds like a woman, but she is actually a standard young man, with a strong physique and powerful limbs. Two finger-thick wooden sticks, he can break them in one fell swoop. The reason why there is such a name is completely because of the old gentleman of the private school in his hometown. It's like Shangguan squeezing bones, and when poor people choose names, they all ask the old gentleman for help. Because the price could not satisfy the old gentleman, the old gentleman gave Wu Yiyi such a feminine name. Anyway, when I was a child, everyone didn't understand it, and they all thought the name was okay. When I grew up, I didn't bother to change it.
Tuoba Momo and Guo Jie are also strong young people. The perennial life at sea has made them have to be strong. The sea is the most unforgiving, and the body is almost there, and it may not survive. The skin on the three of them was tanned a faint bronz, and the white navy dress was set off, which was very heroic.
This white navy dress was only sent to them in March. This is the officer's dress specially designed by Zhang Zhun for the navy, which is naturally copied from the navy of later generations. Because of the financial and processing conditions, for the time being, only naval officers have it.
In this era, such a navy dress is absolutely stunning. Compared with the original military uniform of the Daming Water Division, it is simply a heaven and an underground. All naval officers are in love with this dress. I usually don't want to wear it, and I only wear it during grand ceremonies. For example, today.
Today is a special day.
The warships under their command are about to be officially changed from the Cangshan ship to the saber tooth ship.
It's no wonder they're so happy, the saber tooth ship and the Cangshan ship are two completely different concepts! Cangshan ships can cruise in the near sea, but saber ships can travel to the ocean. The endurance of the saber ship and the number of guns were regarded as the main warships in the East Asian seas at that time. This means that from now on, they can be regarded as officially stepping into the distant and vast sea.
For the vast majority of young people, the sea is vast and deep, dangerous and mysterious. It is impossible for them to explore the mysteries of the sea with the Cangshan ship, but with the help of the saber tooth ship, they can have a good battle with the sea.
"You say, will the Governor come today?"
Wu Yiyi said suddenly.
"It should come."
Guo Jie replied uncertainly.
"Come or not, let's all change our clothes the same!"
Tuoba Momo said in high spirits.
"Yes!"
"Whether adults come or not, let's change our clothes the same!"
Wu Yiyi also said affirmatively.
Originally, such a ceremony was going to appear in Zhang Zhun. The second batch of saber ships was officially put into service, and as the founder of the Tiger Army, it was indeed not suitable if it did not appear. If he doesn't show up, he will disappoint the vast number of naval officers. It's just that the war in Beizhili, the same tension, and the lack of skills Zhang Zhun is still unknown. Zhang Zhun had already said before that no matter whether he came or not, the Sword Tooth Ship would officially start service.
"Let's go!"
Wu Yiyi gave the two guys good dresses and said energetically.
"Good!"
The three men came out of the barracks and looked in the direction of the review stand.
To their left, is the harbor of the naval base. In the port, ten saber ships were already lined up. There are ten saber-tooth ships in service this time, and all of them are here. The white hulls, the masts, the white sails, and the looming gun windows all make everyone who sees them feel the great power they contain.
In fact, before this, they had already gone up to the saber tooth ship and tried all kinds of things. But, after all, before it was just a try, wasn't it? From today onwards, the saber tooth ship will be truly handed over to them. That is, from today onwards, they are the real masters of these saber-toothed ships.
From the Cangshan ship to the saber tooth ship, this is a qualitative leap. This is true both for these three young naval officers and for the entire Tiger Navy. A large number of saber ships have been launched into service, which means that the regular activity area of the Tiger Ben Navy has expanded to more distant sea areas.
Generally speaking, one-third of the Navy's warships are maintained or replenished in ports, one-third are engaged in various trainings, and only one-third of the warships are used for combat readiness duty. In the past, the Huben Navy had only one ocean-going fleet, the Great White Fleet, and almost all military operations had to use the Great White Fleet, with the result that the Great White Fleet had to undertake very heavy tasks, which had long exceeded the normal service schedule, and the warships could not be repaired and maintained in a timely manner. Now, with ten more warships, the Great White Fleet can finally be rotated since it returned.
"Your Excellency!"
"Your Excellency!"
"Your Excellency!"
The three of them suddenly stood up and saluted and greeted each other in unison.
It turned out that Yang Guohua, Zhou Zhengyu, Zhang Haibin and other three people appeared together.
They were also dressed in white navy dresses and walked over in good spirits. Today is a big day for the navy, and Zhang Zhun may not have time to appear, but they are definitely going to appear. Ten saber ships were put into service at the same time, which meant that the combat effectiveness of the Huben Navy had been raised by a considerable level. As the supreme commander of the Navy, the three of them were naturally red and refreshed.
Accompanying the three naval officers were many more officers in white naval uniforms. Most of them are young people. Like Tuoba Momo, they are all the proud sons of the navy cadets, and after Mao Huihui and others, the second batch is qualified and capable of commanding the sword tooth ship. Among the naval cadets, they can be regarded as the best.
In the morning, all the personnel were there.
In total, there were more than 300 naval officers, all dressed in white naval dresses, and they stood neatly in front of the review stand. Looking at it from a distance, a boxy white phalanx attracted the attention of countless people. Even Xue Zhidie had to secretly admire, this Zhang Zhun, sometimes whimsy, is really fascinating. This white navy uniform is really good!
Tuoba Momo looked east and west, but he didn't see Zhang Zhun's figure, it seems that Zhang Zhun didn't have time to come. Sure enough, after waiting for a while, the three navy officers appeared on the review stand in unison. It seems that they also think that Zhang Zhun will not come.
Yang Guohua walked to the front of the megaphone and was about to speak, when he suddenly felt something, and subconsciously looked east. Some naval officers with keen hearing, such as Wu Yiyi, Tuoba Momo and others, also quickly turned their heads to look east. Only Guo Jie was rough and didn't hear anything.
"Da Da Da!"
The faint sound of horses' hooves was heard.
Gradually, the sound of horses' hooves became clearer and clearer, as if a muffled thunder was constantly sweeping towards the naval base. This time, Guo Jie also heard it, and hurriedly subconsciously turned his head to look east. Their expressions became cheerful. The sound of horses' hooves coming from the east was obviously Zhang Zhun coming. At this time, there was such a dense sound of horses' hooves, who else but Zhang Zhun was?
"The Governor is here!"
"The Governor is here!"
"The Governor is here!"
There was a whisper in the crowd.
"It seems that Lord Governor still values us very much!"
Guo Jie said with relief.
Well, I must admit that in Guo Jie's heart, he has a very simple idea, on such an important occasion, if the Governor does not appear, will it be that the Governor does not pay enough attention to the Navy? As an officer of the navy, the most worrying problem is that the governor attaches importance to the land and neglects the sea, and only pays attention to the army and does not pay attention to the navy, then the navy will be a tragedy.
"You're not talking nonsense!"
Tuoba Momo said impatiently.
"You two shut up!"
Wu Yiyi shouted in a low voice.
Sure enough, Zhang Zhun appeared at the naval base on horseback surrounded by guards.
"Bang Bang!"
The crowd erupted in violent applause.
"I'm sorry! It's late! ”
Zhang Zhun waved to all the naval officers, then turned over and dismounted, and methodically adjusted his military uniform, and then strode over.
At this time, all the naval officers saw clearly that Zhang Zhun was wearing the same navy white dress. may be due to Zhang Zhun's very burly figure, tall and tall, and the navy uniform is worn on his body, which obviously shows a fierce spirit. However, what everyone values is not Zhang Zhun's toughness, but the meaning of his naval uniform. It seems that the Governor still attaches great importance to the navy.
"Lord Governor is so handsome!"
Wu Yiyi whispered a little nymphomaniac.
"Good! I agree with you! ”
Tuoba Momo said in a low voice.
"Isn't it handsome? I don't think so! ”
Guo Jie muttered in a low voice, and then took a detailed look at his military uniform, as if he wanted to compare with Lord Dudu, who was more handsome. But after a while, he gave up consciously. Because, he noticed that Tuoba Momo and Wu Yiyi were staring at him with contempt.
"Lord Governor!"
"Lord Governor!"
"Lord Governor!"
Yang Guohua and others came down from the review stand and saluted Zhang Zhunlizheng.
Before, they were indeed a little disappointed, worried that Zhang Zhun would focus on land and light on the sea. In other words, during this period, the struggle between the navy and the army was indeed quite fierce. The warships of the Navy need money, and the warhorses of the Army also need money. Whether to focus on the development of cavalry or the navy, the Ministry of Military Affairs has some debate. The three leaders of the navy, in terms of qualifications, are far inferior to the various officers of the army, and they cannot argue with the army at all.
Fortunately, all of this disappeared with the arrival of Zhang Zhun. Zhang Zhun used the most practical action to say to the officers and men of the navy: You can rest assured that I will always support the navy. The development of the army will not come at the expense of the navy.
"Bang Bang!"
Zhang Zhun stood in front of the review stand, and the crowd suddenly burst into fierce applause, which continued. The Governor never gave up on the navy, and of course they should give the warmest applause.
In fact, Zhang Zhun's heart was also quite excited, and he appreciated the warm applause, so he didn't make any moves, and let everyone applaud desperately. He looked over from the review stand, and could clearly see that the ten saber ships were all ready to set off at any time. Compared with the previous twelve saber ships of the Great White Fleet, these ten saber ships look more spectacular and more powerful.
In fact, in terms of actual combat performance, these new saber-tooth ships have a certain degree of improvement. According to the current problems in the use of the Great White Fleet, Xue Zhidie has made improvements in many details. Therefore, the new saber tooth ship will be more outstanding in terms of performance.
"Brothers in the Navy!"
Zhang Zhun waited for all the applause to fall silent before he said aloud.
His voice spread far and wide through the loudspeaker, throughout the naval base.
"Today, we have ten more saber ships in service!"
Zhang Zhun said concisely.
What is this concept? The concept is simple, we have the ability to go head-to-head with any enemy! No matter how powerful the enemy is, we can challenge them head-on! Even if we can't defeat each other, at least we have the ability to fight back! ”
"That's right! The opponent I mentioned is the Zheng Zhilong Pirate Military Group! It is undeniable that their strength is indeed stronger than ours! If in the past, if they had attacked us from the sea, we would not have been able to fight back. But, from now on, we are not afraid of him! ”
Zhang Zhun immediately mobilized the enthusiasm of everyone below in just a few words.
Yes, on the coast of Shandong, the Huben Navy already has no opponents. The Tartars, Korea, and the imperial court are no longer capable of confronting the Tiger Ben Navy on the sea. The next opponent of the Tiger Ben Navy is Zheng Zhilong. As long as Zheng Zhilong is defeated, the entire coast of China will be the territory of the Tiger Ben Navy.
"Now, I officially announce the adjustment of the establishment of the Navy!"
Zhang Zhun swept his eyes and said solemnly.
Tuoba Momo and the others were awe-inspiring, and hurriedly listened attentively.
Zhang Zhun announced loudly that under the Military Affairs Department of the Metropolitan Governor's Office of the Tiger Army, the Naval Headquarters of the Tiger Army was formally established to be responsible for all the affairs of the Navy. Zhang Zhun personally served as commander-in-chief, Yang Guohua served as first deputy commander, and Zhou Zhengyu and Zhang Haibin served as second and third deputy commanders respectively.
"I announce! The First Fleet of the Navy was formed! ”
"I announce! The Second Fleet of the Navy was formed! ”
"I announce! The Third Fleet of the Navy was formed! ”
Zhang Zhun announced in high spirits.
The original Li Jicheng fleet was renamed the First Fleet, with Li Jicheng as the commander and the Third Fleet under his jurisdiction. The commander of the Second Fleet is concurrently served by Zhou Zhengyu, and the commander of the Third Fleet is concurrently served by Zhang Haibin, and the base of the Second Fleet is in Weihaiwei Port. The base of the Third Fleet is in the Qingdao military port.
"Our current task is to familiarize ourselves with North Korea, Jeju Island, and the surrounding waters. After the saber tooth ship is officially put into service, it is necessary to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible! We must grasp everything and actually train! Don't be afraid of bloodshed! Don't be afraid to sweat! Don't be afraid to waste gunpowder and shells! ”
Zhang Zhun continued to say solemnly.
The First Fleet led by Li Jicheng has only twelve saber ships, and it is a little difficult to contain its own navy. With the addition of the Second Fleet and the Third Fleet, the forces will be much more abundant. Among them, Jeju Island is the key of the key. Because the sea route is quite far away, and the carrier pigeon system has not been fully established, Zhang Zhun does not know the situation on Jeju Island for the time being. However, there is absolutely nothing wrong with being prepared.
"My lord, we have a conflict with Zheng Zhilong, so what should we do?"
Zhang Haibin asked cautiously.
"Shoot back!"
Zhang Zhun said without hesitation.
"Understood!"
Zhang Haibin replied loudly.
According to Jang Joon's order, the Second Fleet was to go to Jeju Island and join the First Fleet. If the First Fleet needed support, the Second Fleet would come to the aid of the battle. If the First Fleet does not need support, this voyage can be regarded as a sea voyage training to prepare for future battles.
The Third Fleet could not stay in the harbor, and had to train back and forth on the sea from Mawan to Yuzhou Mountain. Unlike the Cangshan ship, the saber ship is an all-weather and all-round warship, at least, it is suitable for all seas in East Asia. Therefore, it is very important to be familiar with the sea conditions in various places.
After the brief commissioning ceremony, Zhang Zhun entered the headquarters and prepared for further deployment. As a result, before he could sit down, Lu Yidian sent information. After Zhang Zhun saw it, his brows furrowed quietly, and then he subconsciously turned his head and stared at the location of Ganghwa Island in western Korea on the chart.
Zhang Haibin immediately sensed that something good was going on, and asked softly, "My lord, is there a situation?" ”
Zhang Zhun nodded lightly and said thoughtfully: "There is something going on inside the North Koreans. ”
Zhang Haibin said eagerly: "My lord, do you need our Third Fleet to dispatch?" ”
Zhang Zhun nodded, raised his voice, and shouted decisively: "Third Fleet!" Listen to orders! ”
Zhang Haibin hurriedly stood up and said loudly: "Your Excellency, please command!" ”
Zhang Zhun said awe-inspiringly: "You guys immediately set off and control Ganghwa Island in North Korea!" Anyone who tries to resist will be killed! ”
