1890 King of Southeast Asia

First published in this book: ——

Just as the design of the new warship was proceeding in an orderly manner, Liu Yiming came to a small boat.

This boat can be said to be simple, with a displacement of three or four hundred tons, many places are rusty, and three chimneys are arranged in the middle of the hull.

"We are here, Prime Minister, Commander Zhao, this is our test model." Qin Youde greeted the two people to get on the boat and walked all the way to the cabin.

This is also the purpose of the two people coming here, to see the future power system of the navy.

"We installed the Nezha type 1 on this ship, and found six other boilers. Because the models are different, we opened the third chimney." Qin Youde was a little embarrassed, feeling like crying poor.

"Is the air pressure enough?" Liu Yiming is considering designing a special experimental ship, which is very important.

As he said, he had already gone down to the power cabin. There was only one steam turbine, and now there were seven or eight people collecting data, maintenance, etc.

"It can be used for experiments. With six boilers supplying air manually, the turbine outputs 8,500 horsepower, which is much stronger than the reciprocating steam engine of the same level, and the high-power stability is particularly perfect." Qin Youde introduced his treasure.

"Can it be started now?" Liu Yiming wanted to try it.

Ah~Hu~

Liu Yiming stood on the deck, tied with two ropes, holding the railing tightly with his hands, facing the sea breeze, shouting wantonly.

"Ah!" Liu Yiming looked at the blue sea, and then looked at the industrial area with chimneys and a steampunk-style dock.

Standing on the ship with a speed of 33 knots, there was a huge sea breeze and sea water coming towards him.

"Puff~Puh." Spitting out a mouthful of sea water, Liu Yiming looked at the place where he grew up for four years, feeling so real and so unreal.

He didn't seem to do anything, but he seemed to have done a lot?

Feeling a tightness in his lower body, Liu Yiming came back to his senses and turned around to see the terrified look of Qin Youde and Zhao Jiaxing.

No matter what, people's fear cannot be faked.

A wave came towards him, and Liu Yiming straightened his back.

"veni, vidi, vici!" (Caesar's famous saying, I come, I see, I conquer!)

The boat stopped quickly, and Qin Youde and Zhao Jiaxing dared to run up.

"Prime Minister! Are you okay?" Zhao Jiaxing pulled Liu Yiming to observe repeatedly (verb, turn over and over.)

"It's okay, Lao Qin! Good job! This is the future, the future is in our hands!" Liu Yiming lay on the deck, he was not tired, but felt a little comfortable.

"That's good, that's good..." Zhao Jiaxing muttered, and then persuaded Liu Yiming, saying something like a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall.

"Okay, hurry up and get ashore, I'll change my clothes." How happy it was just now, how embarrassed it was standing there.

The sea water wet the clothes. If they are not washed quickly, they will be covered with salt grains when they are dried.

"Xie Hui, Wang Xu, it's good to be back!" After a few days, Xie Hui and Wang Xu who went to study in Germany finally came back.

Originally, 1991 was stable, and they considered recalling this batch of military students.

But at that time, Liu Yiming had no confidence in completing the regularization of the military, so he let them stay.

Japan landed in Borneo, and the Netherlands was also eyeing it. Later, the situation was tense, and Liu Yiming planned to pay a certain price to solve the problem.

But... the Dutch were solved by themselves, and there is no expeditionary army until now.

Yang Tao and Wang Yang talked about this and that, and they completed the regularization in the battle, and then whether to recall the two became a problem.

But later, Liu Yiming did not recall them in the end, but asked the two to pay more attention to the study of military theory.

"It's good to be back. First, adapt for a few days, and then you will run a training school. All cadres above the battalion level must participate, mainly teaching the theory of large-scale combat and coordinated combat." Liu Yiming arranged a good job for them.

"In addition, investigate the current situation of the South China Army, integrate the Logistics Department and the General Staff Department into the General Staff Department, and establish a staff system."

After chatting with the two for a few words and asking about the development of Germany, he sent them away.

"Yiming, I heard from the people in the shipyard that the indicators of the new warship have been set?" Xu Hui happened to come in and greeted the two.

Privately, everyone is a comrade-in-arms, and they have been comrades since they were fighting as natives.

"Yes, the design is already being stepped up, and the research and development of each subsystem is accelerating. This time it will be completely domestically produced." Liu Yiming's voice was full of pride.

According to this indicator, this will be the best 4,000-ton cruiser of this era. Whether it is firepower, armor, or speed, it is second to none.

This is the bonus brought by technological progress. Others can barely make configurations on 6,000-7,000-ton warships. If your technology is advanced enough, 4,000 tons can do it.

"How is the development progress of these systems? I mean reliability. Is it too fast to start the construction of six most advanced warships at a time?" Xu Hui is worried that they are too advanced. According to this indicator, warships of the same level cannot be defeated or escaped. How can such a good thing happen?

"There is no technical problem, it's just the integration of various subsystems, and experience. You are not just asking this question, are you?" Liu Yiming thought about it. Xu Hui would not ask this question specifically.

Even if he asked, he would only say it verbally and would not show specific concerns. Because he doesn't understand, he doesn't understand the development trend of the navy, he will only give money.

"It's said outside that we need to vigorously develop the navy and integrate the existing fleet? I came to ask about military expenditure." Xu Hui hesitated a little, because Liu Yiming proved his foresight every time he expanded the army.

"Don't worry, we won't have a war in the short term, but we shouldn't be so conservative." Liu Yiming smiled.

...

In a blink of an eye, it was April 1st.

"Hey~ lazy pig, get up quickly, I'm going to be late for work!"

Liu Yiming opened his eyes dazedly and looked at the cute body in front of him.

Zhang You was busy putting on clothes, and then pulled Liu Yiming up, and Liu Yiming pulled Zhang You down with his backhand.

"Don't be naughty, there is a meeting today, am I still a human being?" Zhang You felt Liu Yiming's body temperature rising, and thought of today's meeting, tears welled up in his eyes.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong, I was wrong." Liu Yiming came back to his senses and kissed Zhang You on the face, and stood up.

"Hurry up and get dressed, it's half past seven!" Zhang You looked at the time and kicked Liu Yiming.

Zhang You helped Liu Yiming put on the Han Dynasty dress. Liu Yiming looked at Zhang You like an old woman, chattering and chattering.

Then he hurriedly pulled Liu Yiming into the car.

It is worth mentioning that the latest car on the road also uses a four-cylinder gasoline engine. The engine is good, but the car is not necessarily good.

For example, Liu Yiming's prime minister's car uses the best shock absorbers and is equipped with the most luxurious carriage...

Yes, the carriage, in front of it is a gasoline tractor-like tractor head. Liu Yiming almost vomited at the time. What the hell is this?

You know what, it runs very fast. It can run at a speed of 50 kilometers per hour while towing such a large bulletproof luxury carriage.

"The era of electric steam is really here..."

More and more factories use electricity as production power, the scale of power plants is repeatedly expanded, the transmission lines are continuously optimized, small and medium-sized ships begin to try diesel power, and tractors replace horse-drawn carriages.

Nanhua is becoming more and more modernized...

"It's here, I caught up!" Zhang You took a deep breath, fortunately I caught up.

…

Expanded meeting of the annual meeting of the South China Government.

“In summary, in order to maintain the national defense and security of South China in more complex international relations, we need a more active naval policy, a naval force that is sufficient to maintain national defense and security and maintain our interests, and a naval reserve force…”

“Expand the navy to four large cruisers, 12 medium cruisers, and 60 destroyers within five years, and expand two main battleships in another five years.”

“Form a naval force that focuses on near-shore control and is supplemented by ocean delivery. It has the ability to patrol and protect the archipelago, and can compete with possible enemies in the ocean for sea control.”

The first release of this book:——

“To this end, the Navy Industrial Design Department was established, directly under the National Defense Industry Committee, to coordinate the entire coordination of the Navy Military resources. "

"The warships under the Nanhua Navy are divided into two parts: the patrol fleet and the oceanic fleet. The patrol fleet is mainly composed of destroyers.

The destroyer fleet currently stationed in Ryukyu, Java, Borneo, Brunei, Sulawesi and other places is assigned to the patrol fleet, and several cruisers will be added in the future.

The two Changluo-class warships stationed in Medan, Hawaii, Guinea, and Java are assigned to the oceanic fleet. "

"To achieve this goal, in addition to the existing naval funds, an additional 10 million shipbuilding funds will be added each year for ten years, which will be paid from the profits of state-owned industries. "

The sales of stockings are expected to be a big hit, especially after signing a cooperation agreement with Mellon and establishing a US factory under Nanhua Holdings, starting with stockings to promote Chinese clothing.

In terms of beauty, traditional clothing with a strong history can beat the West, except for the bloated clothing of the die Qing Dynasty. In fact, the Ming Dynasty already had a trend, but the ideological movement of the Ming Dynasty was not bad, especially the Ming Dynasty advocated retro, and the degree of openness in the middle and late periods was quite good.

The meeting was very poor. It was difficult to discuss a certain content in a meeting with more than ten people, not to mention the expanded meeting of the Nanhua government. This kind of meeting with dozens of departments and hundreds of people involved, if you say one thing and I say another, it will take a lifetime to finish.

So only Liu Yiming proposed it, and then it was passed unanimously, it was so simple and unpretentious.

…

"Nanhua has passed a ten-year shipbuilding plan, and it is expected to invest 200 million yen to expand the fleet. In order to fight, we must also strengthen the fleet!" Yamamoto Gonbei handed a fantastic fleet draft to the Minister of the Navy.

The Minister of the Navy did not even open the draft.

"Yamamoto, the Empire can no longer afford it..." The Minister of the Navy, who was always fighting for military expenses and even illegally diverted funds to the Navy, lowered his head.

"But..." Yamamoto Gonbei also knew that Japan was running out of oil.

Especially in March, the export of raw silk was only 100,000 yen, and it was sold to die Qing. Originally, the price of raw silk was very high at this time.

"Prepare for war! Takasago and Chitose will be returning home by the end of the year. The longer we wait, the stronger the enemy will be. Time is not in my favor. This war! It is the last chance for the Empire!" The Minister of the Navy stared at Yamamoto Gonbei until he saw him nod fiercely.

"War is finally coming..." Walking out of the door, Yamamoto looked at the sky and threw the naval shipbuilding documents in his hand...

Move your fingers and throw your precious gold and silver notes, thank you!
