Chapter 1105: The Black Dragon's Family
In the same South Seas, even the base of the Black Dragon Pirates is less than 300 nautical miles away from the training ground of the German Navy, and the fleet is sailing at full speed, and it took less than 12 hours to arrive, of course, did not choose the main port of the Black Dragon Pirates, Black Dragon Port, but another peripheral island, several warships are nearby, which also makes the Black Dragon Pirates frightened, they also have a shot from time to time during this time, attacking British, French and Japanese merchant ships, each time they do it very secretively, and all the prisoners are brought back, but they often walk by the river, how can they not wet their shoes, In case the British and French follow the clues to catch up, it will also be troublesome.
Fortunately, not only did the German warship light up the German flag, but Cheng Biguang also took the password given by the headquarters and contacted the radio station of the Black Dragon Pirates. Fortunately, no one cared about anything, and the German officers left directly after seeing that the people were finished, and Cheng Biguang and they also saw the ship of the troops stationed on the island, a destroyer that was at least 30 years old.
Before the change, when he was in the Qing Dynasty Naval Division, Cheng Biguang may be a little happy when he saw this battleship, after all, this is a ship, the Qing Dynasty Naval Division at that time, not to mention an extra 1000-ton boat, even if it is an additional 300-ton torpedo boat, it is not a trivial matter, in the naval sequence, it is a relatively strong combat force, but now, seeing the strength of the Scheer Combined Fleet, in the Qingdao shipyard, what is still in full swing is their future Chinese sea warship. I really don't like that.
They were greeted by a guy nicknamed Black Three, who used to be a pirate. After the Battle of Malacca, he defected to Xiao Jianfei. And successfully accepted the transformation, participated in the temporary crash course of the navy dedicated to pirates, as soon as he saw Cheng Biguang's appearance, he knew what Cheng Biguang was thinking, and said with a big smile: "Don't look at my ship, it doesn't look good, but the things inside are almost gone!" ”
Under this explanation, Hei San focused on the power system, armor and artillery. These three major systems have all been replaced, and even the keel has been reinforced with a certain method, otherwise, the 30-year-old ship will not be able to withstand the impact of high-speed sailing, and the speed of this destroyer has reached 23.5 knots, not to mention the ship of 30 years or 20 years ago. It is unthinkable that the artillery is a 188-mm gun, and there are 4 533-mm torpedo tubes in combination. In general, it is not as good as the cutting-edge new destroyers. But it is also much improved compared to the original, at least it can keep up with the speed of the fleet, and there is not much problem with the Dutch.
What Cheng Biguang had been seeing and hearing at the outpost put down his heart that had been hanging all along. The Dutch are tantamount to surprise, now. The initiative is not in the hands of the Northwest, it is in the hands of the Dutch. Most of the Chinese villages in Borneo have shrunk inward, and it stands to reason that they are not afraid of naval attacks, but in the future, it will be the founding of the Nanyang State, and if they can lose less, they will lose less, and the army will face the natural weakness of the navy, so it is better to wipe out the remaining ships of the Dutch at sea.
The next day, Cheng Biguang met Xiao Jianfeng, to be honest, the two of them have been friends for a long time, but they have never met, when Xiao Jianfeng was by Yang Yuanzhao's side, Cheng Biguang has always been in Shanghai, rarely to Baotou, occasionally a few times when there is an intersection, the two sides also missed, but he knows very well that Xiao Jianfeng is an important force in Yang Yuanzhao's layout of the navy, he was born in Beiyang, can not be counted as the Fujian Gang, his ancestral home is Xiangshan, Guangdong, but he was born in Beiyang, and the Fujian Gang is also inextricably linked, the comradeship of Pao Ze, It is sometimes difficult for him to do it, and now the officers under his command, almost half of them are from Fujian, with Yang Yuanzhao's control of the army, it is definitely impossible to look at it like this, the Fujian gang's group and small hill are taboos in the modern army, although he tried his best to stop it, but it still appeared.
At this time, Xiao Jianfeng came into being, with the help of the limelight of the Battle of Malacca, set up a black dragon pirate, outside Cheng Biguang's field of vision, the black dragon pirate in the past year, has made great progress, not only the number of ships has reached 100, the total tonnage has exceeded 300,000 tons, and the personnel has reached 18,000, among them, there are sailors from Fujian who have been reformed, there are officers who graduated from naval schools, and even those who have performed well on ocean-going ships and have been transferred to the navy.
These elite soldiers, some of them are also favored by Cheng Biguang, and they also want to intercept them, but none of them have succeeded, at this time, Cheng Biguang also understood, it turned out that Yang Yuanzhao was deliberately supporting in order to balance, and he interfered more, but there would be problems, the future Chinese Navy, there will definitely not be a problem of a monopoly in a certain place, with a large number of naval schools, recruiting students from all over the country, assisting fishermen and sailors, the latter two are originally Fujian's advantages, but under the large fishing boats and fleets, almost the entire offshore waters of China, There are ocean-going fishing boats, which increases the scope of material selection from a certain one by one, the glory of the Fujian Gang, that is, in the present, when the follow-up power has not been replenished, in the future, it is necessary to rely on everyone's ability to compete, and the influence of clans and regions has been almost reduced to a minimum.
This is a fact, and it is also a conspiracy, in his heart, Cheng Biguang is supportive, but it needs to be used as another fulcrum, which requires ability, Xiao Jianfeng is not from the navy, which road did he embark on by chance, and how did he do.
When he really saw people, Cheng Biguang couldn't help but admire, from his style and speech, he was a rigorous and careful person, when it came to things at sea, he was almost the head, and even the cutting-edge warships of the current Qingdao Shipyard, he was also catchy, Cheng Biguang understood, Xiao Jianfeng also got Yang Yuanzhao's promise, the future 9 capital ships, it can't be said that the local fleet he led is equally divided with Xiao Jianfeng's South Ocean Fleet.
Originally, it was 9 capital ships, and suddenly it could become four or five, Cheng Biguang was slightly gloomy, but soon, he came out of this mood, China will never be short of warships, which can be seen from the production of 9 capital ships, Qingdao alone, it only took a few months, to produce 9 capital ships, including hundreds of large and small warships, now China's ports are not only in the northwest, the north and the south combined, even if it is suitable for shipyards, there are as many as five or six places, As long as the problem of the dock is solved, the number of ships built will increase tenfold and it will be no problem to increase it by three or four times, and it will not be a problem as for capital and steel, China's earning power is the best in the world, plus more than 100 million tons of steel production, which is almost more than the rest of the world combined, and what really restricts the number of Chinese ships is people, and it is the sailors who operate the warships.
With this kind of enlightenment, Cheng Biguang can really face Xiao Jianfeng, in just over a year, Xiao Jianfeng through the integration of the Black Dragon pirates, at least more than 60,000 pirates, only a very small number of these pirates were transferred to the fleet, and passed the northwest training, but saved, Xiao Jianfeng did not let them farm, or engaged in sea-related occupations, such as ocean-going cargo ships, such as fishing boats, there are more than 5,000 short-term courses every year, which are held at the Qingdao Naval Academy, There are also more than 30,000 short messages, which are from Qingdao and the northwest to invite instructors, in Heilong Island and Borneo, in just over a year, the cumulative number of training exceeds 40,000, if it is really when the capital ship is delivered, Xiao Jianfeng can drive the entire task force with the team at hand.
Relatively speaking, Cheng Biguang is a little worse, the Chinese Navy under his command, through the submarine force, the transport submarine force, plus other kinds of dispersion, the most personnel is more than 20,000 people, and he himself also followed the German task force of 10,000 or 20,000 people, which is under his own name, but after seeing Xiao Jianfeng, think about it carefully, except for those who were born in Beiyang, they can come back, and he doesn't know where the rest of the part came from, obviously it belongs to Xiao Jianfeng, as well as the naval school training and sailors, and the fishermen are drawn from the fishermen, Then it is even more impossible for it all to belong to him, this requires competition, and when the time comes, Xiao Jianfeng's advantage seems to be greater.
Cheng Biguang secretly decided in his heart that after returning from this battle, he must do a good job in personnel work and take increasing personnel as the primary problem.
The two of them knew it, but they were very enthusiastic on the surface, Xiao Jianfeng took the initiative to tell Cheng Biguang about his family background, the current flagship of the Black Dragon Pirates is a 9600-ton old ironclad ship, but it has undergone modern modifications, based on its own battleship layout, there is no way to turn it into an all-heavy gun battleship, that is, a dreadnought, but in terms of speed, vitality, and armor, it is much stronger than the previous dreadnought, and even really met the current cutting-edge warship, as long as it is not a 15-inch naval gun like the fantasy classOther naval guns, even British 14-inch naval guns, could not penetrate its heavy armor, of course, because of the armor, the speed of which he could only reach 17 knots.
Cheng Biguang didn't expect that among the Black Dragon pirates, there are such nearly 10,000 tons of big guys, compared with the dreadnoughts, there may be many shortcomings, compared to the strongest warships of the Dutch Navy, this doesn't know how good it is, even if the domestic fleet and submarines can't come, he is confident to deal with the Dutch Navy, even if he completely puts his heart back into his stomach, settles down on Black Dragon Island, and waits for the intelligence officers in Borneo and Indonesia to send back information to see when the Netherlands will start.
