Chapter 834 Speed up the construction of the navy, planning ahead

Xiao Riben came to Changguo County, and he also presented King Kang with two vicious strategies that would affect Liu Xing's original plan, and the news was soon sent to Liu Xing by several sea harriers from Changguo Port.

After learning of this situation, Liu Xing looked at Zong Xin who was standing in front of him, and then shifted his gaze to Zong Ze and Seed Master Zhong who were sitting beside him.

"Uncle Shi, Zong Shuai, now it seems that our dynasty must speed up the construction of the Royal Navy! I wonder if you two can do anything to speed up the construction of our navy? After frowning, Liu Xing opened his mouth and asked the two of them.

The navy, without a strong navy, could not completely cut off King Kang's escape to Liuqiu Island, and without a strong navy, it would be impossible to easily recover the Qiongzhou Island occupied by Cheng Changyu in the future.

However, whether it is Zong Ze or the planter, they can only see the internal part of Liu Xing's depression, but they can't imagine that Liu Xing at this time has already thought of the group of monkeys wearing open crotch pants on the island to the east because of the Fujiwara Noriko.

The harm to the Central Plains caused by the monkeys wearing open crotch pants and stepping on clogs has not been shown in this era. Because those monkeys did not have such strong ambitions in this era, and their country was also in the midst of an internal struggle for power.

But Liu Xing knew very well that Noriko Fujiwara was just the beginning. She gave advice to King Kang today, and her eyes were locked on Daliuqiu Island.

But if the monkeys were given the opportunity to end their internal strife and become stronger, they would definitely not just want King Kang to go to the big island to establish a foundation, but would try to turn Daliuqiu Island into his small kingdom.

Since the Three Kingdoms, the land of Yizhou has been ruled by the Central Plains, which is an inseparable territory in China. Liu Xing would not allow any vassal state to covet the territory that already belonged to the Central Plains. Now and in the future.

I want to prevent those vassal states from coveting the territory of the sea. It is necessary to have a navy strong enough to deter the vassal states. If you have a strong enough navy. Even if the shock is undeterred, when those vassal states still invade the overseas territory of the Central Plains, they can still use strong armies to defeat foreign captives at sea and expel the enemy......

Liu Xing's deep-seated thoughts Zong Ze didn't know, but as a battle-hardened veteran, Zong Ze still understood how important the naval force of the navy, which Liu Xing determined, was to a country.

These days, although the old marshal's condition has been good and bad, he has been paying close attention to the progress of naval construction, and at the same time racking his brains to think about how to speed up the process.

Now he was asked by Liu Xing. Zong Ze didn't think much about it anymore, and directly put together the ways and methods he had thought of these days, and told Liu Xing and the seed master to listen.

What did Zong Ze think of? In fact, he only has one really useful method, that is, the method of dividing the land and casting and merging ships in the port.

What is a ground casting? A big ship has a lot of parts, oars, wheels, sails, etc., and it doesn't actually have to be built in the dock.

Zong Ze's idea was, for example, that when the Ning Navy in Shandong built new ships, the place where it harvested timber was in Taishan and other places in the interior. The reason for the slow progress now is that the timber harvested from Tarzan and other places has to be transported to the dockyard before the construction of those parts begins.

However, if a parts yard is built directly in a logging area such as Mount Tai, the timber can be turned into parts as soon as it is off the mountain, and then transported to the dock to be combined with the hull and other parts, which will inevitably increase the speed of construction.

Use this method. Another advantage is that you don't have to send so many additional garrisons to the dockyard to protect it. Because even if the dockyard were attacked in some circumstances, the losses would actually be much less.

Reduce garrison overhead. You can save a lot of money. Diverting all the money and grain to the construction and expenditure of the casting yard will improve the construction process......

Zong Ze said his suggestion, and after listening to it, the seed master didn't think much about it, and also said the way he thought of speeding up.

It's a little similar to the method that Zong Ze thought of, but the emphasis among the breeders is on those iron parts. The proposed method was to set up casting yards directly next to the iron ore mines, and as soon as the iron was smelted, it was pushed into the casting yards to become the parts needed for the warship.

The guns on the hull should no longer be distinguished from those of the Royal Army and the Royal Air Force, but should be unified and interchangeable.

In other words, for example, some of the great ships are now loaded with giant guns. Its mouth is large and its projectiles are large, but in fact, if it is really put into actual combat, its weakness of slow reloading speed will be exposed to the enemy. Once that weakness is exposed, it is entirely possible for the enemy to rush to the giant ship in small clippers and burn the ship.

For example, the dinghy is loaded with a small cannon named "Jumping Cannon" by Liu Xing, which has a large mouth and is not much different from a bazooka. That kind of small artillery is not as long as a bazooka, and the range is not much farther than a bazooka. On top of that, it reloads much slower than a bazooka.

In this comparison, the breeders thought that it would be better not to have standing artillery on the boats, boats, and fast boats. All small ships will be replaced by soldiers carrying bazookas as long-range attack and main station firearms.

If such an innovation is made, it will save a lot of time in the construction of firearms in the construction of the navy, and thus speed up the construction. Second, if a small ship runs aground or sinks in actual combat, the loss of firearms will also be reduced to a great extent.

The same is true for the firepower on the medium ship and the medium ship, do not let it be unique and stand on its own, but load it all with movable artillery that can be used with the army.

In this way, even if the ship sinks, when the sunken ship is salvaged in the future, the artillery will be much easier to salvage than the existing artillery that forms a part of the hull. After it is salvaged, maybe it can be repaired and the split movable gun can be used again......

It is better to be able to listen than to speak, although the treasury of the Northern Dynasty has been enriched after the dragon coin entered the circulation, but there are too many places to use money in a huge world, and these ideas in Zong Ze and the seed master are actually revolving around saving money while increasing the speed of building a navy.

Their hard work Liu Xing can understand, and their ideas are indeed feasible. But what? Liu Xing, who was far ahead of their thinking, also put forward his own ideas while accepting the suggestions of the two.

What is Liu Xing's idea? There are mainly two ideas.

The first idea is that it is feasible to separate firearms from hulls and use them with the army, but it is still not the best way.

Since it was built separately, Liu Xing thought that it would be better to directly unify all the guns and artillery of the navy with the army and air force. In this way, if a large-scale operation breaks out in the future, we will be able to truly fight a "three-dimensional war" in which the navy, land, and air forces will be combined.

When a "three-dimensional war" begins, the common use of firearms among the three armed services will, firstly, greatly reduce the pressure on logistical support, and secondly, it will be able to quickly and temporarily integrate with the air force into the army to continue to participate in the war after landing. The navy ships are coming, and the army does not have to worry about the difficulty of replenishing ammunition after boarding the ship. (To be continued.) )
