(0689) In addition, the navy of the white army will use new ideas, new equipment, and new tactics to arm itself, which requires all members of the navy to have a relatively strong ability to accept and understand, to have a relatively strong learning talent, and to have a relatively strong energy. In the process of building the navy, Xu Xingxia had a lot of knowledge about later generations to instill in them. Obviously, it is more difficult for older people to adapt to this learning process.

The construction of the white-clothed army and navy pays more attention to vigor and vigor. To build a powerful navy, in addition to advanced equipment, advanced thinking, and advanced training, it is also necessary to have high vigor. More importantly, it is necessary to completely smash the original shackles, smash the original rules and regulations, and give full play to everyone's subjective initiative. Obviously, in order to achieve this, it is necessary to take young people as the main body and young people's ideas as the mainstream.

More than 300 backbone naval personnel were concentrated in the wilderness of Weihaiwei, preparing to meet Xu Xingxia for the first time and listen to Xu Xingxia's lecture for the first time. At this time, Weihaiwei, all the basic equipment and facilities have not yet been perfected, and even the place where the sailors live has not yet begun construction. For the time being, the officers and men of the navy can only live in simple tents. Fortunately, the whites had tents. In addition to the white army sewn it themselves, there were also a large number of seized from Lin Dan Khan, and the amount was sufficient.

"Chairman!"

"Chairman!"

When Xu Xingxia came to the middle of the crowd, the future naval backbones of the white-clothed army all stood up and saluted and greeted loudly. In the days leading up to Xu Xingxia's arrival, they had received basic military training and had a preliminary understanding of the military regulations and etiquette of the white-clothed army. These most basic trainings have made them feel that the white army is unusual.

Xu Xingxia nodded, stood up and saluted, and waved for them to sit down again. His gaze swept over everyone's faces, and he said slowly with a solemn expression: "If you are polite, I won't say it." I Xu Xingxia do things, what I want is efficiency, what I want is results. You need money, I can provide it. You need people, and I can provide them. You need supplies, and I can provide them. In short, everything you need, reasonable, I can provide! If you have any worries, I will personally help you solve them! ”

"My only hope is that you will bring me a strong navy in the short term. The time I give you is three years! You heard it right, it's three years! Starting today, three years from now this year, I would like to see a strong navy, a navy strong enough to cut off the connection between the Korean Peninsula and the Honhon! ”

"I believe that everyone here wants our country to have a strong navy. In the battle 20 years ago, it was because we did not have a strong enough navy that we did not strand all the Japanese on the Korean Peninsula. If our navy was strong enough at that time, not a single one of the wouldn't have been able to go back to all the Japanese who landed on the Korean Peninsula! ”

"However, this is definitely not our goal! Our navy is definitely not passively defensive! We're going to take the initiative! I can put it bluntly, our navy is going to destroy others! If anyone offends us, we will immediately drive the warship to their doorstep and block their doorstep! ”

The members of the Navy Preparatory Group below all showed knowing smiles. This committee member is indeed too straightforward to speak. If this can really be done, it will indeed be too happy for the people of the navy. Who wants to be beaten passively? Of course, it is the initiative to attack, and others are happy. Paralyzed, aren't you arrogant? I'll kill warships into your harbor in no time! If you are arrogant again, you will destroy your coast! Blockade all your ports!

After a slight pause, Xu Xingxia continued: "Of course, this is our long-term goal. As the saying goes, take a bite of rice, and you have to take things step by step, and you can't reach it if you want to hurry. Therefore, we need to break down the long-term goal piece by piece, and achieve the goal one by one. Our first immediate goal is to defeat him completely. Not only must we not be able to take the initiative to attack and withdraw our troops that have landed on the Korean Peninsula, but we must also land directly on the territory of the Korean Peninsula......"

I heard that the white-clothed navy was actually going to land on the mainland, and all the backbone of the navy, you look at me, I look at you, and it is difficult to suppress the excitement in my heart. At the same time, they also have a little doubt about Xu Xingxia's speech. If Xu Xingxia hadn't explained in advance, the people listening to the lecture would not have the right to ask questions for the time being, and it is estimated that someone would have stood up and asked questions.

The original biggest opponent of the Daming Water Master was himself. Although the Ming Dynasty won the victory, it forced him to withdraw his troops. However, from a tactical point of view, the Daming Sailor did not take much advantage. In the Battle of Lulianghae, the Daming Navy Division also killed a general, Deng Zilong, and the Korean naval tycoon Yi Sunsin was also killed. If this war is indeed a victory, it is also a tragic victory. , all of this is because the imperial court does not pay enough attention to the sailor. The original Daming Water Master was already very weak and almost in a forgotten position. If it had not been for the War to Resist and Aid Korea, it is estimated that the naval divisions would have been completely abolished long ago. Before the Ming Navy entered the dynasty, the large warships that could be used had a maximum displacement of only about 400 tons. Even warships of this class did not exceed five. Battleships with a displacement of more than 100 tons have only about twenty at most. There were probably only fifty other warships. As for the number of artillery, then it was even less.

The Daming Water Division itself does not have much artillery fire, and even if there is, it is indiscriminate. It's like a weapon like a bowl-mouth gun and a tiger squat cannon, if you just look at the name, you don't know what it is, and you think it's a big killing weapon. In fact, the range of these two weapons is only a few tens of meters, or even less than a hundred meters. In naval battles, it was almost useless. The naval weapons of the Daming Naval Division, or weapons such as Molotov cocktails, use the fire word trick.

In the absence of a sufficient number of warships, the intensity of training of sailors, naturally, is even more insufficient. The laziness of the officers and soldiers of the original Daming Water Division can be seen by anyone. They don't have any motivation to train, they don't have any positive surnames. This time, the white-clothed army and navy selected talents, which was to run desperately, long-distance running, and turn back and forth, and toss a group of people enough. Only those who pass the examination are eligible to participate in the White Coats Navy.

There are neither sophisticated warships, nor rigorous training, and it is simply unrealistic to expect strong combat effectiveness. As for the deficiencies in coordination, organization, command, this is even more so. Before the battle began, Chen Luan, the deputy commander-in-chief of Nanao Island, was hurriedly transferred to serve as the commander of the Daming Naval Division. As for the warships of the Daming Water Division, they were transferred from different water villages. Before entering the DPRK, there were no joint exercises at all.

If you want to say that the luck of the Daming Navy is really good, that is, when you encounter the same garbage, the Navy, you can have the possibility of a miserable victory. Otherwise, it's really hard to say what the result will be after a battle. Needless to say, the powerful Dutch fleet and the powerful Spanish fleet could be wiped out if they encountered the British, Portuguese, or even French fleets. In the concept of the Great Ming Naval Division, there is no such thing as a battleship at all.

Xu Xingxia was silent for a moment, his eyes swept away, and he continued: "Why is our name called Navy? Instead of being called a water master? It's because we want to compete for hegemony in the world's oceans. I don't know if you have noticed, but the water in the offshore sea is dark yellow. This is not really the sea. The real sea is azure, completely, pure blue. Our warships cannot just go around in the near seas. The blue-water navy is our goal. ”

He slowly unfolded the huge world map and explained it in detail. In later generations, it took a long time for China to build its own blue-water navy. Due to the blockade of US imperialism, it is quite difficult for China's blue-water navy to break out of the first island chain. And he, four hundred years ago, wanted to build a powerful blue-water navy in advance. He wants to blockade someone else's sea, not be blocked by the enemy.

Xu Xingxia said with an awe-inspiring expression: "We must admit that in the battle for the ocean, we have fallen seriously behind. Since Zheng He's seven voyages to the West, we have lagged behind for one hundred and eighty years! Now, in front of us Chinese, there are Portuguese, Spaniards, Dutch, and British. But, none of that. What we Chinese want to do is to catch up with them and surpass them! Defeat them! ”

Prior to this, the personnel of the Navy's preparatory group of the White Army had received the most basic training in world knowledge. They already have the most basic understanding of this world. Therefore, it was not very difficult for them to understand Xu Xingxia's lecture. However, their suspicion of Xu Xingxia still exists. This suspicion is what the battleship of the White Army Navy looks like? What kind of weapons will be equipped on the battleship?

No matter how impassioned Xu Xingxia's lecture was, it must be implemented in the end, so that a real white-clothed navy can be formed. To build a navy, warships are the most basic equipment. In general, the greater the number of warships, the more powerful the battleships, the greater the combat effectiveness of the navy. And the white-coated navy, at present, happens to be the most lacking in battleships.

To be precise, as of today, there is not a single warship in the White Navy. The entire Weihai Weijun Port is actually empty. Except for the flags of the white-clothed army flying high, there were no warships in the port. Not even the smallest sea boats. Everything has to be started from scratch.
