Lord of Ming Dynasty

If Wunan was not in the war period, it could create more than 3000 million Spanish gold coins or 7000 million Chinese yuan in output value and wealth every year, but now in the war period, this output has become negative, and it has to be consumed every month Equivalent to 300 million living supplies and reserves of coal, oil, various materials for repairing and maintaining fleet ships, wood and stones for building fortifications, and at the same time consume about 600 million Huaxia yuan in military pay and Huaxia yuan to maintain people's lives , used to purchase scarce supplies.

Although the two sides are fighting, there are always one to five French or Spanish merchant ships coming to do business every day, or Portuguese, French, Spanish, and Dutch merchant ships departing from here stop and set off to do business. Adventurous business, of course, there are places on the road where the British fleet intercepts, usually nothing, but now in wartime, either the ship is destroyed or people are detained, or it is simply robbed by pirates supported by the British.

But every half a month, about fifteen to thirty ships of materials and supplies of goods can be obtained. The adjutant ordered the merchants here to eat them all, and then he raised the price to buy them. There are a lot of reserves here, and there is no shortage of funds to buy them. , it just costs a lot.

He estimated that there would be no problem supporting such expenses for four months, but the question was, after four months, would there still be merchant ships coming here?The New Qin Empire lost a lot.

A war of confrontation is a war of attrition. It depends on who can't hold it first. The British have the support of the whole of Europe. They can recruit sailors and personnel from other parts of Europe at will, and put together tens of thousands of people and dozens of ships. The fighters of the Qin Empire fought one less.

After all, it takes at least ten years for a person to grow up to learn to fight, and at least three batches of such people can be accepted in ten years, but any more will require external blood transfusion.

Human resources are limited. Don’t look at the fact that the population of Han Chinese has reached 60, the population of other people has reached 20, and the number of stranded businessmen or other slaves and captives has reached 10,000+. It may take at least three years for the naval personnel to be assembled. Cultivate, practice for five years, fight and grow.

The first thousand and 460 eight chapters of the war of confrontation 2

This side is worrying about the daily consumption, try to reduce some consumption, send people away, and rationally allocate troops, match the troops, start the war with self-sufficiency, make full use of existing materials to continue the battle, and the British over there are the same There is no plan to sail, and they have to ask the British and Portuguese mainland for instructions, and at the same time send away all the wounded soldiers and disabled warships. They can't repair here.

Porto Island is bigger than Folsa Island, but all living materials and living facilities are incomplete, and were destroyed by the New Qin Empire. Although it has been repaired by the Portuguese and continues to bring in a lot of material support, it is still because of the large number of people. , which made the Portuguese complain, because they paid for most of the supplies and the British enjoyed them.

Of course, the British did not take it in vain. They mobilized fifteen more British-built ironclad ships to the Portuguese, so that the Portuguese had 25 ready-made British-built ironclad ships, and during this time, they cooperated with the British here. The ironclad warships produced were also launched, tested, and successfully commissioned, and there were ten more, but the Portuguese did not send them over. After all, there are few, and their local fleet still needs to be kept.

The Portuguese are very nervous about these, so they will not use them easily. Even these 25 ships are also used in a secretive way, so they dare not use them easily.

Fortunately, Major General John Bing and the others did not fight this time. If they lost money, they would definitely ask them to borrow them. Maybe even the sailors and crew would have to be borrowed. But as the fleet commander, Commander, Lieutenant General Glass would not give them such Chance.

Seeing that there was no oil and water, he sent back most of the personnel who needed to be replaced first. There were more than 100 warships in the fleet, and he sent back 45 warships, nearly 1 people. There were captives, wounded, and all supplies were transported back to Portugal. This was nearly 3 people, and the food and fresh water supplies for [-] mouths were reduced in one fell swoop.

The materials needed by the British were also delayed for various reasons, leaving a lot of expenses and materials for Portugal, and various accessories. Resupplying his own fleet heated up the conflict between him and Major General John Bing to an irreconcilable height.

This is even better. Apart from having to meet to resolve some coordination matters, the two of them hardly saw each other when the British were resting their flagship.

The British John Bing also handed over the injured personnel and prisoners to him for arrangement according to the agreement, but sent people back to the mainland with all the wounded warships and captured warships and supplies. More than 50 warships left at once. Fifteen seriously injured warships, as well as supply ships from the British, transported away some personnel, and after more than half a month, more than 3000 naval officers and soldiers were replenished, and some of the previously defeated naval forces of the fleet were integrated officers and soldiers.

His fleet now has 43 ironclad ships, supported by seven battleships, all of which were deployed from the UK.

The entire fleet has as many as 6000 people, and the British soldiers on the island have also left a lot, which has reduced a lot of things for the Portuguese supply fleet. The total population of the island has changed from the original 6 to [-] today people.

There are more than 3000 British soldiers in the army and 6000 sailors.

The Portuguese army has more than 3 soldiers, 5000 naval officers and soldiers, plus some auxiliary merchants and some Portuguese merchant marines.

In fact, Lieutenant General Glass thought that these army soldiers were useless and should be sent back, but Major General John Bing didn't know what he was thinking, so he let them stay. He understood the thinking of the Portuguese upper class, and he could only carry out orders up.

After more than half a month of various actions, the Portuguese fleet has 58 warships, more than 30 troop carriers, and nearly a hundred ships. Some sailing ships and some outdated old steam engine warships have been eliminated. The Portuguese fleet The strength has improved, and the combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated.

Although the British also had long-distance raids, they only fought a battle at the level of the auxiliary fleet in conquering the islands and guarding the same few islands. Although they lost more than 20 auxiliary warships, they lost nearly [-] Sailors and crew, for John Bing's fleet, hardly hurt the fur, and in his opinion, they hardly hindered him except for making his supplies a little difficult.

The first thousand and 460 nine chapters of the low-level fleet ranks

Just [-] nautical miles away from the Azores, just a little bit past the town of Korwu, a fleet was cutting through the waves and advancing rapidly. Twenty ironclad ships under the leadership of Jin Lin were rapidly approaching Hero Port.

They had already received Wunan's request for help, but because of the delay in Xindingzhou, they set off a week later. They felt that they had reached their destination after more than 4000 nautical miles, but they had already missed Wunan and the others. The battle of the British super fleet, when they received the telegram again, they knew that the battle was not over yet, so they slowed down the speed of their journey, because they encountered a storm on the road and traveled hundreds of nautical miles at sea, so they could only rush. The last decisive battle with the British.

Because Xindingzhou is the fleet coordinator that Song Qing is responsible for, but the entire fleet cannot be coordinated without one person, so Lieutenant Colonel Jin Lin led the fleet to set sail in person, leaving Xindingzhou to the army generals sent by Swee Tianlei and the others. Jurisdiction, anyway, no enemies have been found for the time being.

Besides, although Jin Lin is an army general, how did the people of the New Qin Empire come here? Newfoundland, they came here from Romania, which is tens of thousands of sea miles away. They set off from Turkey and arrived in Romania, the land conquered by Russia. After experiencing several tragic naval battles from Romania, he drifted on the sea for half a year before arriving in Newfoundland. Although he is not familiar with such things as naval battle command, he has a foundation after all, and there are more than [-] navy lieutenants in the fleet by his side.

Today, the captains of the Type [-] Ironclad Ships of the New Qin Empire are all lieutenants of the Navy, the captains of the Type [-] Ironclad Ships are all Second Lieutenants of the Navy, and the Type [-] is the Sergeant Major of the Navy, and is also the third or fourth officer of the warships of each fleet. For the role of the first class, the first officer and second officer are either sergeant majors or second lieutenants, and second lieutenants are at the same level as the captains of the third type, and they are usually promoted from the captains of other warships.

These people can also be promoted to second officers, but they will definitely be sent to other warships to serve as captains. When the fourth mate arrives on an upper-level warship without a position, he usually starts as a trainee captain first, or as the first mate, or as the second mate, or they are promoted to the second mate, but they will definitely be transferred to other equivalents. A ship with a military rank serves as the captain for a period of time, and then transferred to the upper-level ship as the first officer. This is called the deputy captain, and the second officer is called the trainee captain.

The lower-level warships served by other sergeant majors are also analogous.

For the following promotions, you can stay on a battleship for three years and go up step by step, but when you get promoted to the fourth officer, you will usually be transferred away to serve as the fourth officer on the supply fleet battleship for a period of time, and then when the time comes, Either become the captain of the ship immediately after making meritorious service, or be promoted to the third officer immediately after the battle damage, and the third officer can go to other battleships to serve as trainee captains, but it is just a next-level battleship.

Once the captain is vacant, they will fill in the position. After a period of training, they will become the captain. If the captain stays for a year or needs to be promoted, after an assessment, they can be promoted to serve as the next-level warships. The second officer of the upper-level battleship, or the direct acting captain, this is because of frequent wars, and sometimes a battleship’s command team is scarce, so they can only go to the upper-level battleship and jump directly from the third officer to the captain, but This captain is also equivalent to the acting captain. Once there is a new suitable second or third officer transferred from a higher-level warship, he can only retreat to the position of first officer and let his second officer be the captain. Served as the chief mate, and the transferred third mate served as the trainee captain and second mate.

It's a bit complicated, but it's not complicated, that is to say, the new warship rank introduced by the navy is the new warship captain must be promoted to one level, but the overall rank of the new Qin Empire is low, Li Ya is just a lieutenant general, Zhao Shuai, sweeping thunder Mo Lin and the others are no more than major generals, Wunan, Zhuang Lin, and Jin Lin below can only become colonels, Song Qing, Lu Fang, and He Haole can only become lieutenant colonels, and the next level, Wunan's adjutants, they can only become colonels Only as a major.

The commander of a temporary fleet is also a major, and the captain of the flagship is also a major. The commander of other warships, such as the battleships in a fixed formation, is a captain. For outstanding contributions, the promoted commander can only be a captain. The commander can only be a lieutenant.

The commander of the Type III Ironclad Ship can only be a second lieutenant because he uses an old-style warship. Of course, the new Type III will definitely be improved according to the character of the new Qin Empire. A new officer is needed, so he may be a captain. Or an experienced lieutenant, or a second lieutenant with great merit.

Type II can only be the sergeant major as the commander of the battleship, but the commander of the fleet of about five Type II battleships is the second lieutenant, the commander of the ten ships including about fifteen is the lieutenant, and the commander of the twenty ships is the captain.

The commander of the first type can only be a sergeant, and the fleet commander is a lieutenant, second lieutenant, sergeant major, and the temporary formation is a sergeant, but that has to be pushed to the inland river transport ship. The temporary formation, even the patrol fleet, is a second lieutenant , or at least the sergeant major, the formation should not be too large, three to five ships.

For steam engine warships and battleships, those with a higher tonnage are commanded by a captain, those with a tonnage of [-] tons are commanded by a lieutenant, those with a tonnage of less than [-] tons are commanded by a second lieutenant, those with a high tonnage are a lieutenant, and those with a lower tonnage are a second lieutenant, generally at the rank of sergeant command.

This class, or the commanders of steam engine warships under [-] tons, are generally mercenaries, foreign mercenaries, or recruited sailors. Or navy mercenaries will be appointed as officers on steam engine battleships below [-] tons. At other times, mercenaries are generally below the fourth officer on the battleship. The personnel of the leading organization cannot enter the promotion channel.

Of course, sometimes, these people will also enter the promotion channel, but it is a promotion channel that is insulated from ironclad ships, such as steam engine battleships or battleships captured and transformed by the British, or warships that have not been transformed. They are usually in the auxiliary fleet or supply fleet, patrolling , Support, there is a promotion channel in the caravan.

Even if it is an old-style armored ship, non-Han Chinese foreigners from the New Qin Empire will not enter the technology of these warships or the promotion system of naval officers. Their promotion system is similar to the promotion system of the New Qin Empire, but they will definitely not enter the iron-clad ship navy. Come inside the battleship officer sequence.

They generally serve as logistics, handyman, coal bunker, ship battle command, sail, lookout, and gunner. These positions are promoted, and the promotion level is higher, and they are directly sent to the captured warships as non-commissioned officers, or sergeants, and sergeant majors.

A sergeant major can serve as the captain of a sailing warship, or the commander of a steam engine warship of less than [-] tons. However, as the Chinese Empire, the New Qin Empire, or Europe gradually phased out sailing warships, steam engine warships have gradually been transformed into merchant ships or transport ships. The supply ship no longer enters the battle sequence, and they can only make a living here. The New Qin Empire plans to adjust a reasonable military rank promotion and job arrangement system in the next step.
