Of course, in these two halls, there are still many officers and soldiers of Cai Tingqian's navy and Liu Guanxiong's Jiangfang Fleet. They all graduated from the maritime school and have practiced in warships. They are old acquaintances with many of Shen Shoukun's subordinates.

The rest of the people, including all the captains and first officers, were arranged in the lobby on the third floor, where there were many high-level executives belonging to the two fleets to accompany them.Zhao Shouhong held up his wine glass and said to everyone in the hall: "I've made everyone suffer a few days ago, so I'll offer you a toast here as an apology." up.

Chapter 427 Visiting the Shipyard

"Why bother Shouhong?" Shen Shoukun shook his head, picked up the wine glass and respected Zhao Shouhong and drank it.

Zhao Shouhong poured another glass of wine and said: "The world is in chaos today, and this situation is inevitable. But I am here to assure everyone that Chen Qimei's abuse of everyone will not be left alone, and I will let him pay with blood. "

"Thank you, my lord." The officers and soldiers of the navy felt warm when they heard this, and immediately raised their glasses.

"Now that everyone is fighting against gold together, it's better to have less friction. It's not good for us to get a little hurt and hurt the harmony between each other." Shen Shoukun comforted.

Zhao Shouhong waved his hand: "Brother Shen, you don't need to be like this. We don't owe them anything by raising troops against gold. Now that we have finally lost the constraints of the imperial court, we should find a way for the country to become prosperous and strong. Who dares to stumble on our way forward? We must attack them mercilessly, regardless of whether they are the post-Jin army or the revolutionary army." Zhao Shouhong's words were so loud that Shen Shoukun was secretly moved.

"It's a pity that all my warships have been confiscated, otherwise I could join Shou Hong's command." Shen Shoukun felt useless when he thought of this incident, and he raised his head and drank another glass of wine.

Cai Tingqian said with a smile: "Brother Shen, you don't have to worry about such things. We may not be interested in your warships. I don't even need the Zhaohe ship. The other small gunboats, coal water boats, It’s as slow as a snail, and it will kill people.” Most of the warships were taken by Sa Zhenbing to Hanxia City to suppress the rebellion, but now they belong to the Central Plains Revolutionary Party, and there are indeed not many good warships left on standby in Hangzhou Bay.

As the commander of the Jinlongjiang Fleet, Shen Shoukun felt a little uncomfortable when he was told that his ship was as slow as a snail.He immediately retorted: "Anyway, it's also a navy ship, it's better than nothing."

"It's true that there aren't any now. The biggest ones under my command are the four destroyers, but that won't be the case in the future." Cai Tingqian said with a chuckle.Shen Shoukun was curious, but Cai Tinggan didn't say anything when he asked again.The others also laughed without answering, which made him even more puzzled.

"Shou Hong, I have an unfeeling request, I wonder if you can agree." Shen Shoukun suddenly looked embarrassed while drinking.

Zhao Shouhong said: "No problem, Brother Shen, but it's okay to say."

Shen Shoukun sighed: "At the beginning, many people in the fleet felt that being a soldier was too poor, and they wanted to leave. But the military law is strict, and if they leave privately, they will be treated as deserters, so no one dares to flee. Now we have Not belonging to the imperial court, before joining Shou Hong's navy, can you let those brothers who do not want to continue serving as soldiers go home. After all, everyone has a family, and no one wants to see their families go hungry."

"Of course there is no problem. People have their own aspirations. You can't force it, and I won't force you to stay. But anyone who wants to go home, I will naturally pay the travel expenses." Zhao Shouhong said very generously, and Shen Shoukun thanked him again and again.

Liu Guanxiong shook his head and said: "Hey, you are really good too. Let everyone listen to the treatment of our Dashu Navy before we go. Could it be that our military salary is as low as that of the imperial court?"

"Is the salary of the Great Shu Navy high?" Shen Shoukun looked at Zhao Shouhong. In fact, he also knew that it must be high, but he didn't know how high it was.

Before Zhao Shouhong could answer, Cai Tingqian couldn't help but said: "The salary of the Dashu Army is high, which is a recognized thing in Zhongchuan. Even the army has a monthly income of three Yingyang per person, and our navy is higher. Four eagle oceans per month, this is the military salary of sailors, and the higher the position, the higher the salary will naturally be."

"In addition, all those who died in the war will be given ten years of military pay as a pension. If the relatives in the family have no support, they can also enter the martyr's farm and pasture to raise them. The children are raised by the government until they reach adulthood. Our navy is also better than the army in terms of treatment. It is much higher, as long as it is attendance, there will be a monthly ration of fruit, cigarettes, soap and other things." Liu Guanxiong added.

"Compared with the post-Jin army, the food is so different. In the navy, we had a lot of meat. Now that I think about it, the post-Jin army's food is like pig food." Du Xigui, who just joined the navy, feels about the food. Deeper, and took the opportunity to raise it.

Shen Shoukun couldn't help being a little dazed when he heard everyone talk about the treatment of being a soldier. If there is such a good treatment, I'm afraid everyone will rush to become a soldier.

"Since that's the case, I'm going to discuss it with my brothers. I believe there will be more people left." Shen Shoukun said.In fact, there is no need for Shen Shoukun to promote it. Those Dashu naval officers and soldiers who accompanied the wine had already shown off their benefits, which attracted many new naval officers and soldiers to marvel.Therefore, except for a very small number of people who are really unwilling to continue their military career, most people choose to stay.

After the meal, a special medical team checked everyone's bodies. Fortunately, everyone had skin trauma, and the treatment was much simpler.You only need to re-bandage the medicine, and I believe it will be cured in a short time.Soon Zhao Shouhong gathered the naval officers and soldiers who were marveling at the luxury of the hotel, and announced the conscription system of the Dashu Navy.

The people brought by Shen Shoukun basically took everything they ordered, and even the older ones were entrusted with the title of instructor of the Maritime Academy.It's just that the current Maritime Academy has been divided into two, one part is still the Maritime Academy for training commercial sailors, and the other part has become the Guanghai City Naval Academy.Zhao Shouhong will hire retired naval officers and teachers from the Western Continent to come to Guanghai City to teach Hualan's future naval talents.

Due to the fatigue of the journey, the arriving officers and soldiers were arranged to rest in the free dormitory in Luchao Port, while Zhao Shouhong, Shen Shoukun, and a group of officers above the captain's rank got into the car and drove towards the shipyard near the pier.

The Guanghai City Shipyard located in Luchao Port is the well-known Jiangnan Shipyard at that time. Now nearly [-] fixed docks and [-] floating docks have been built there.Among them, sixteen docks are enough to build large warships of more than [-] tons, and if they want to build merchant ships, they can be twice as large.

As soon as Shen Shoukun entered the factory area, he saw busy people everywhere. They were either moving materials or using lathes to cut parts. Everyone was busy with their heads down.Some diesel-powered forklifts, freight trucks, and steam-powered cranes are all in intense operation.Most of these equipment have just been successfully developed. With these advanced equipment, the production efficiency of Jiangnan Shipyard is several times higher than that of a shipyard of the same size in the West Continent.

"These machines are so powerful, they can lift such heavy things." Shen Shoukun said, pointing to the small five-ton forklift.

Chapter 428 New Cruiser

"This is thanks to Mr. Dickens' diesel engine and the forklift designed by the Chevrolet brothers. Today, with this kind of thing, it is much easier and faster than people pulling it on their shoulders." Wei Han went to Kyaukpyu Port Shipyard to supervise the construction of new After the warship, the work of the Jiangnan Dock was handed over to Chen Zhaoao.Hearing that Zhao Shouhong is here, he naturally wants to accompany him on the tour.

Many generals in the navy were also very familiar with Chen Zhaoao, and they spoke more casually.Shen Shoukun asked: "Ren Xing, I heard that you have something good here. They said that my jaw would drop in shock. I want to see what it is. It has such power."

"Well, there are indeed many good things. The dock in the east has them. I'll take you there now." Chen Zhaoao didn't say anything, and led them to the small dock in the east with a smile.The dock in the east is a permanent dock built with cement, and there is a roof with a steel frame structure on it, but the place is not big, it is only an [-]-ton dock at most.

At this moment in the dock, many people are busy with their work.Everyone opened the sliding door and walked in, and the hustle and bustle of voices rushed to their faces.After walking a few steps forward, they looked down from the platform into the dock, where there was a brand new warship undergoing maintenance.

When seeing the familiar ship type, Shen Shoukun couldn't help exclaiming: "This... this warship."

"That's right. This is a cruiser designed and manufactured with the Haiqi as the blueprint. We Hualan people designed and built it ourselves. Although it looks very close to the Haiqi on the surface, its combat effectiveness is not the same." Chen Zhaoao obviously He is quite familiar with this warship, seeing Shen Shoukun's surprised look, he smiled and introduced it to him.

"Zhang Huiban, you are here." Several young people smiled and walked towards the crowd. When they saw Zhao Shouhong among them, they all saluted him.

"Commander, the sea trial of this new ship is over. As long as a little more adjustments are made, it can join active service. I wonder if it is possible for me to become a member of this warship?" One of the young men asked anxiously. asked.

"Shou Hong, who are these?" Shen Shoukun asked.

Zhao Shouhong pointed to the person who spoke just now and said: "This is Yang Tong, a son of the Yang family of the Kokang Kingdom, who came to Guanghai City to study the navy. The other two are Feng Chaoxiang and Hu Yingsheng. I joined Gongxinghui and fought bloody battles with Huang Bin during the Guangdong Uprising a few months ago, and was rescued by me. They thought that the Hualan Pioneer Party’s philosophy was more suitable for them, so they did not return to Gongxinghui , but entered the maritime school to study. These people are good students with both good character and learning, so this time because of the war, all the naval officers and soldiers were transferred, and the sea trials of the new cruiser were handed over to them and this group of students. "

"Captain, you haven't promised me yet." Yang Tong was a little anxious.He lived in Maine for a long time and didn't know much about Hualan's etiquette, so he spoke more casually.Now that he has broadened his horizons in Guanghai City, Yang Tong is no longer the radical boy who only stares at his family's one-acre three-point land.Now he not only does not object to Wu Yuzhang and others controlling the military and political circles of the Kokang Kingdom, on the contrary, like many young men who came to Hualan to study, he has sincerely supported Zhao Shouhong, hoping to make the Kokang Kingdom a province of Hualan.

"Yang Tong, don't worry, this warship probably doesn't belong to you. But I can guarantee that when you return to Kokang, I will help you get a flagship that is not inferior to this cruiser, so how about building a Kokang fleet? "Zhao Shouhong is very familiar with these courageous young men, and he speaks as casually as ordinary people of the same age.

"Hey, that's a good thing, I'll remember it, the governor can't break his promise." Yang Tong laughed.

"Never break your promise." Zhao Shouhong stretched out his hand and high-fived Yang Tong as an oath.

"Does this Yang Tong have a special status? Why does Shou Hong love him so much?" Shen Shoukun at the side looked very strange, and then asked Liu Guanxiong next to him in a low voice.

Liu Guanxiong smiled and said: "You will get used to it slowly. In fact, Dudu Zhao is very easy-going. If it was a wartime, he was very cold, but in normal times he can be so casual even with soldiers, so everyone is very kind to him, and he is also very easy-going. would love to embrace him."

"Sure enough, it's very people who do extraordinary things. I really can't understand him." Shen Shoukun shook his head, then turned to Chen Zhaoao and asked, "Is everything on this warship produced by us? What's the performance like?"

Chen Zhaoao nodded and said: "Of course all of them are self-produced. The navy's ship design, artillery design, power manufacturing, material application and other research institutes are also in Luchao Port. We can get their support nearby. Naturally, the development of this equipment is very fast. .Now our gun factory in the Jiangnan Shipyard is able to manufacture advanced weapons such as 280mm caliber rapid-fire guns and steam turbines. As for the steel, it is all shipped from Zhongchuan. The strength and toughness of this steel is absolutely no problem for warships. .”

"As for the performance of this warship." Chen Zhaoao stroked his beard proudly and said with a smile: "The appearance is indeed similar to the Haiqi, but it is a circle larger, and the displacement has reached more than 700 tons. We used steam turbines. , so the speed increased to 28 knots. We have also changed the artillery, and all the second-level main guns have been cancelled. Now we use a piggyback dual-mounted turret, equipped with six 57mm caliber main guns, and eight One 37mm secondary gun and four [-]mm cannons are used to shoot torpedoes and small boats. In addition, there are three [-]mm caliber torpedo tubes on the bow."

Hearing Chen Zhaoao's narration, Shen Shoukun's eyes straightened a little.No wonder Yang Tong loves this cruiser so much. With such firepower and speed, it is simply invincible.Even if it can't beat others, it can run and win.Thinking of this, Shen Shoukun couldn't help feeling moved. If he could really be in charge of this warship, he would be willing to lead him even as a cruiser.

Zhao Shouhong exchanged pleasantries with several other young people, then turned his head and asked, "Brother Shen, does this cruiser look good to you?"

"It's okay, it's okay." Shen Shoukun agreed in a daze, and then he reacted and said: "I have a heartless request, and I hope the governor can fulfill it."

Zhao Shouhong laughed and said, "Brother Shen suddenly became polite, you'd better call me Shouhong, it sounds comfortable."

Shen Shoukun said: "In the future, when I join the Great Shu Army, I will naturally have to be called a post. It is not an exaggeration to call it the governor. It's just that I hope to be the leader of this warship. I don't know if the governor will agree."

Hearing what Shen Shoukun said, everyone burst into laughter. Cai Tingqian said: "Brother Shen, now we are not called a supervisor here, but a captain. As for you, the governor has already made arrangements. The position of the commander of the navy is vacant. , I will be your deputy in the future, you need to support me a lot."

Chapter 429 Conscientious Obedience

Hearing what Cai Tingqian said, Shen Shoukun's face flushed.He asked excitedly: "So, this cruiser can be my flagship?" As the first officer of the gunner on the Dingyuan ship during the Yellow Sea War, Shen Shoukun has been very aggrieved these years.Although he was not dismissed because of the defeat, he became the commander of the Jiangfang Fleet instead.But seeing the warships of the Japanese Navy entering into service with tens of thousands of tons, while his subordinates only had small gunboats of a few hundred tons, one can imagine how he felt.

Seeing that the hope of avenging his brothers is getting slimmer, Shen Shoukun's heart is gradually sinking.But today he finally saw that such a [-]-ton cruiser was about to enter service, and it was completely designed and built by Hualan himself. How could this not excite him.

Although this cruiser is not enough to challenge the combined Japanese fleet, it is the hope after all.Shen Shoukun is very confident that as long as Hua Lan can continue on this road, one day Huang Hai's revenge will be avenged, and his good brothers who died with hatred will also be able to smile in Jiuquan.

Seeing Shen Shoukun's excitement, of course everyone knew what he was doing.As the old men in the navy, Cai Tinggan and others were all suffocated, they were thinking about revenge all the time.Now that Zhao Shouhong is willing to invest heavily in the navy to help them build a modern naval fleet, how can this not make them full of confidence.It was because of Zhao Shouhong's relentless investment in the navy that more and more talents joined him in the Houjin Navy in the following days.
