Lord of Ming Dynasty

As they were defeated by the New Qin State and lost their colony of Newfoundland, the French began to consciously eliminate sailing ships. One was that they had no money to build an expensive super sailing battleship costing millions of francs, so these battleships It has been reduced, battleships have been reduced, and some small sailing ships have been slowly replaced by steam engine inland river transport ships. Their sailing ships all over the world have dropped from 10,000+ to [-] to [-].

With the aging of some warships, some sailing ships were inferior to the developed imitation steam engine ships of the Chinese Empire, and the sailing ships went downhill. However, because steam engines were difficult to obtain or manufacture at that time, and they were expensive, some slightly larger sailing ships Sailboats and some medium-sized sailboats are still being manufactured, so their sailboats are still declining, but to a lesser extent.

Later, they bought some steam engine warships of the Chinese Empire to replace some medium-sized sailing warships, and eliminated some old sailing transport ships and merchant ships. Their sailing ships further dropped to more than 3. They have many colonies and are still flourishing, so the sailing ships of the British are still declining but the speed is slow, and the French were at the forefront of the British in the development of steam engine warships for a while, so they imported them from France instead. A batch of sailboats sold by the French, about [-], were sold, so the French sailboats were almost extinct.

There are about 1 ships, and they are replaced by steam engine warships and steam engine merchant ships. This kind of steam engine ship that pulls a lot of cargo, has a high tonnage, and is fast has become the fashion of the French, and France is a civilization, art, and fashion in Europe. It means that under their influence, the British sailing ships began to accelerate their replacement again, from 30 ships to 10,000+ ships, and from 10,000+ ships to [-] to [-] ships.

Later, with the war with the new Qin State, the French lost many sailing ships and many old steam engine warships at the same time, so they kept about a few thousand sailing ships, and then developed to more than 1 steam engine ships. With the advent of the ironclad ship era, the French began to build ironclad ships, and the number of ironclad ships developed to several thousand. The number of French warships began to increase. They had thousands of sailboats, more than 1 steam engine ships, and thousands of ironclad ships. Developed faster than the British.

The British began to be unable to understand the technology of ironclad ships. They were still wood-hulled steam engine warships, and then built some ironclad ships, but not as good as the French. This was the last naval glory of the French. The new Qin State improved during the battle and surpassed the French. The French turned to build and buy the British ironclad ships themselves, and at the same time purchased the new Qin State ironclad ships.

The purchase of these warships increased the number of their warships to 1 to 1, but they fought against the British, Spaniards, Dutch, and even the Prussians, making them, like the British, quickly defeated by ironclad ships and the British in battle. Human warships were sunk, destroyed, aged and retired, and lost in various accidents. When the French ironclad warships developed, there were only more than [-] ships, and they developed from many varieties to single steam engine warships and ironclad warships. A lot of money, so the development was slow, and the technology began to fall behind, so in the end their steam engine battleships, ironclad ships, and more advanced main battleships totaled no more than [-] ships.

The British are gradually phasing out 3 to [-] steam engine wood-hulled warships, developing iron-clad ships, and finally have [-] to [-] iron-clad ships. However, the battles between the new Qin State and the British are becoming more and more frequent, and the conflict between the British and the Dutch is also increasing. The more frequent, so finally the British owned more than [-] steam engine warships, ironclad warships, and main battleships. However, this also overwhelmed the French, the Dutch, the new Qin State, and the Spaniards to become the new maritime overlords. They were unconvinced and relatively tough. Only the Dutch and the new Qin State, the French and the Spaniards, and even other Western countries do not want to compete with the British, because the British are still on the road to superhegemony, and there is no way to stop them.

At this time, the French lost thousands of warships in the conflict with the New Qin, Spain, and the Dutch. Their losses and failures made the French learn from the past and began to think about surpassing the British, at least catching up and not being left behind. , So they began to eliminate the remaining thousands of sailing ships, wooden-hulled steam engine ships, reduced the construction of iron-clad ships, and began to build warships, but the technology could not keep up, and they could only rely on the technology of the British and the new Qin State. Purchased by advanced countries, plus their original ironclad ships and a small number of ironclad ships still under construction, the French maintain their own number of warships at around three or four thousand, all of which are capable of combat.

With the emergence of the New China Kingdom, the 2 ironclad ships and main battleships of the British continued to be lost, slowly becoming more than 1 ships, more than 8000 ships, more than 6000 ships, and more than 6000 ships. The French are also warships of the main battleship type with strong combat effectiveness, which have become a symbol of their national strength.

In the same period, the New Qin State developed such national strength to more than 2000 ships. When the New China Kingdom had the most ships, the country had more than 600 ships. Now the New China Kingdom has more than 2000 ships, the New Qin State has more than 4000 ships, and the British have more than 8000 ships. ships, the French only have more than 4000 ships, so in the case of ebb and flow, although the British are still ahead, everyone's strength is getting closer.

The first thousand and 750 chapters and seven chapters where is the fisherman

The French have developed, but they are still limited by another reason, financial resources, the strategy of a big country, and the frequent revolutions in France, so that even if the French have such a powerful fleet, they still cannot prove their status. For the first time, I thought about uniting the Dutch and pulling the British down.

So with this big battle, the battle in the Gulf of Mexico was no less than the decisive battle between the British and the Dutch in the Azores. The problem is that the British suffered heavy losses. The entire North American Fleet and the Southern Fleet were almost wiped out. Thousands of warships fought against the French, and the French dropped from a naval strength of 1000 warships to a naval strength of more than [-] ships. There are about [-] or [-] warships, and more than half of their strength has been lost.

The British lost 1000 ships, Xindingyang Prefecture lost more than 400 ships, Africa's newly built colonial fleet lost more than 100 ships, and there were more than 1000 ships left. The Gibraltar Strait mouth lost more than 2000 ships. The confrontation on the coast of the Netherlands lost hundreds of warships and nearly 1000 warships, which made a total loss of [-] warships. In the Azores, more than [-] warships were really lost. In the end, the British generally only There are still more than [-] warships left, that is, the main force of the local fleet remains intact, and the others are beaten to pieces.

The Kingdom of New China lost more than 300 destroyers and dozens of main warships on the north coast of Panama, and lost dozens of main warships in Florida. The Florida fleet was severely damaged and lost half of its main force. Among them, twenty or thirty main battleships, dozens of destroyers were also lost, and a port was captured by the French. The French occupied a port in Florida, so the Kingdom of New China officially turned against the French through this time.

On the other hand, at the mouth of the Moroccan mainland, more than 600 destroyers and more than 100 main warships were lost in the battle with the British. The fleet lost more than half of its strength. Hundreds of battleships, generally speaking, the destroyers and frigates suffered heavy losses, and the main battleships also lost more than 100 ships.

In total, they also lost more than 1000 warships and more than 1 troops this time. They are considered a heavy loss family, but they also benefited a lot, because it is good for them to help the Dutch defeat the British and push the British off the throne. ah.

The losses of the New China Kingdom were all steam engine warships and frigates, as well as captured enemy warships. This time, many mercenary sailors and some captured British and Spanish sailors were brought in. Among the loss of more than 1 sailors, these people The proportion is about [-]%. In the future, Han Chinese sailors will be able to supplement about [-]% of the manpower in the naval fleet. At the same time, it will also consume foreign sailors and reduce the strength of foreign soldiers to infiltrate the New China Kingdom.

Of course, it is still the loss of the New China Kingdom in general, but this loss can still be made up for, and what the New China Kingdom consumed this time is also those captured and outdated battleships that are not strong, and some battleships with strong combat effectiveness have retained more than half , the overall number has increased to 2000, and some captured warships have also increased to [-]. Compared with the more than [-] destroyers and captured warships, although the supplementary number is large, the combat effectiveness is not great. battleships are much more formidable.

After the battle, Zhang Siyuan returned to Morocco and distributed the injured and captured warships to Zhang Yuan and the others, leaving Qiang Wei and Wang Weiyun to continue to assist Jin Qishun and Zhang Yuan. Hundreds of auxiliary warships may be slightly lower than the previous [-] warships with coast guard steam engine warships and retired destroyers and armed merchant warships, but with the addition of new warships, even if only The number of [-] warships will also increase in strength.

Two hundred main battleships of various types, main battleships, frigates, cruisers, and a small number of captured enemy frigates returned to North America as a destroyer fleet.

After ten days of voyage, the main fleet returned to Xindingzhou and returned to the port of Khafalit.

After that, Zhang Siyuan transferred all the captured warships to the north bank of the Panama Canal in Xindingyang Prefecture to make up for the losses and where they were almost disabled, and transferred more than 40 new main battleships from the battle fleet to the north bank of the Panama Canal to support Yan Chao and the others, because now Yan Chao and Wei Yuanchao have only about 50 new main battleships, more than 100 frigates, and more than [-] destroyers that captured the British and the Dutch. The French are now in Central America. The most powerful one.

Their threat changed from the British to the French. The French left nearly 30 warships of various types on the coast of Central America and the Caribbean Sea, and in the South American colonies, while the British still had [-] warships, and they all retreated. There are [-] Han Chinese in the city, as well as British and colonists from all over the city, rebellious British and Spanish colonial mercenary rebels.

The port on the north coast is occupied by Yan Chao of the New China Kingdom and the others. The distance between the two is no more than a dozen nautical miles, and the coastal artillery can directly hit the opponent's port.

After the war, the British lacked a fleet to protect their colonies, and the New China Kingdom also lacked a fleet to protect its overseas territories. However, the British had the help of the New Qin Kingdom. Where did the New Qin Kingdom have more than 4000 warships that had not been dispatched? The Dutch gave all they had. Although they defeated the British, their total number of warships and those with powerful combat capabilities were very few.

According to Zhang Siyuan's estimate, the Dutch may only have more than 600 warships left this time, and the colony can no longer be protected, because they want to defend the homeland, and the homeland has not suffered much loss. The only losses are some old steam engine battleships, ironclad ships, and destroyers. , the main battleship may have only lost one-third, but the loss of the colonies was almost wiped out. If they hadn't captured about a thousand British warships, maybe even if the Dutch defeated the British this time, they would still be defeated. The French swallowed the colony, and this is the support of the French in exchange for the colony. I did not expect that the French not only annexed the colony they gave, but also robbed some colonial ports, and even robbed them so much that they were not the same as the French usually do. Contact, only private contacts or the New China Kingdom that is only contacted when buying warships. It can be said that the French benefited the most after the war. Although they also lost more than half of their warships, their strength is almost the same as that of the Dutch, but they After all, it has gained a lot of colonies, and gained a foothold in Central America, intervening in the Spaniards, the British, and the new Qin, the new Chinese kingdom's overseas territories and colonies.

In the future, the French may also go into a battle for full supremacy.

The first thousand 750 eight chapters don't wait for me

"Has the shipyard resumed operation?" Zhang Siyuan asked Jin Lin when he returned to Wellington, Xindingzhou.

"240% of the recovery has been made, and the rest will be restored within two months. Now it is mainly the supply of raw materials and the upgrading of the shipyard that have delayed the recovery of our shipyard, but now the production capacity has caught up. A total of 150 keels have been laid down this month. After three months, forty destroyers will be launched, and after four months, they will enter active service. After five months, frigates will launch sixty ships. After six months, they will enter active service. After eight months, [-] new main battleships will be launched. Launched, nine months later, after reorganization, he will join active duty."

"It's too slow. All 240 warships must be launched into service within half a year. No, isn't the construction period of the destroyer only three months? It takes one and a half months to speed up, at most two months to join the active service, and the third month. In another batch, we will have 120 to [-] destroyers in use within half a year, and [-] frigates must join active service within half a year.

We lost half of our warships in this battle, especially the destroyers and frigates. The main force was not damaged much. Now that we have a large territory, we need more warships. We can’t just increase the main battleships. We must take care of both destroyers and frigates. Frigates, let them speed up research on new frigates and cruisers, main battleships, destroyers will be abandoned in the future, frigates will take care of the functions of both destroyers and frigates, the main battleships in active service will become frigates and cruisers, and cruisers will become a separate combat unit in the future, Or as a supplement to the main warships, frigates will gradually withdraw from the battlefield of large-scale operations. "

Jin Lin followed Zhang Siyuan. Zhang Siyuan is now the founder, king, and leader of the New China Kingdom. Of course, everyone has not yet made it clear that Zhang Siyuan’s position is still the main general of the navy, the founder and leader of various armies. The new Qin army veteran who came over also had to follow him step by step and listen to Zhang Siyuan's teachings as his subordinates.

Jinlin is currently Xinding Prefecture. Xinding Prefecture has three provinces and one island under its jurisdiction. Xinding Province, Brunk Province, Maine Province, and Edward Island are all under the jurisdiction of Jinlin. Naval logistics, ports, naval coast guard, naval schools, naval cargo warehouses, coastal artillery, and marine brigades are all under his management. The docking and combat of the main naval fleet all require his support and support.

However, Jin Lin is not without surveillance and support personnel. Zhang Siyuan transferred Wang Yunwei, who had been rising from their side, to serve as the army supervisor. After this, Song Qing served as the navy admiral. In addition, he was in Wellington, and Wellington temporarily confirmed As the capital of the New China Kingdom, a large number of senior military officers and their families who have defected to the New Qin Kingdom, as well as the more loyal New Qin State mercenary generals and their families, and the New China Kingdom have been called loyal from the beginning to the present. Han officers and mercenary officers and generals and their families.

The periphery is guarded by a few elite mercenary regiments, the interior is guarded by two elite Han brigades from the New China Kingdom, and the outer periphery is guarded by the original loyal Han brigade and mercenary brigade guards from Jinlin and their new Qin Kingdom. While mobilizing to fight, when you come back to reorganize, you will be stationed here to prevent the enemy from attacking.

The two ports near Wellington are guarded by two elite marine brigades after the previous battles of the New China Kingdom.

In addition, around Wellington, there are army recruit camps, mercenary recruit camps, and navy recruit camps around Wellington.

It can be said that Wellington, the capital of the New China Kingdom, is tightly guarded within tens of kilometers around Wellington, heavily guarded, and has a strong military force. If others want to break in, it will be impossible for a while. Can't beat it.

At sea, this is where the main fleet of the New China Kingdom is stationed. When the main fleet was at its weakest, there were dozens of main battleships, a dozen cruisers, more than 50 frigates, and hundreds of coast guard destroyers serving as guard missions. Even if a thousand warships come, it will take several months to destroy or break through the port, and then send troops to fight on land.

Deploying Jin Lin with the task to be done recently, Zhang Siyuan continued to move forward. Now he is 30 years old. The former boy is now middle-aged. When he was still Zhang Qiang, he spent 28 years at home and stabilized the Chinese Empire, from Jinhua as the general of the rebel army, to the leader of the rebel army, then to the Huaxia Army in Taizhou, and then to the Chinese Imperial Army, 28 years, and then 20 years to recover The land, driving away the Qing Dynasty, took more than ten years to recover overseas islands, took seven or eight years to capture Japan, seven or eight years to obtain the Philippine Island, Borneo, Malay, New Zealand, Singapore, and then Southeast Asia, Australia, It took a total of 60 years to stabilize the country, suppress the rebellion, inherit the throne, attack Siberia, and finally divide the border in the Ural Mountains. After that, Central Asia and Afghanistan approached the border between Turkey and Iran, and they could no longer move forward.

It took a full 80 years to double, double, and triple the territory of the Chinese Empire. In the end, twice the territory was completely Han Chinese, and the doubled territory was completely integrated into the Chinese Empire. The old people in the city, watching the development of their children and grandchildren, have completely Han Chineseized twice the territory, but still have a third times the territory of the governor-general, and still have not achieved complete Han Chinese, only naturalized Han people.

Twenty years after my death, I came to the new Qin Kingdom, an extension of the Han Kingdom. After nearly ten years of development, I am already 20 years old, and I am middle-aged.

But at this time, the New China Kingdom had just started, which made her anxious.

There is no one under his command, and he has to do everything by himself. Jin Lin can rely on him, but he is old, and Song Qing is approaching his forties. Jin Lin is 50 this year, and Song Qing is over 60 this year. , Zhuang Lin is older, in his 40s, Lu Fang is almost 40 although he is younger, Zhang Yuan is younger but he is 20, Jin Qishun is also [-], Qiang Qiangwei and Wang Yunwei are in their prime, but their qualifications are limited. In the future, it will only be the material of a civil affairs official. Wei Yuanchao is over [-]. When it comes to the founding of the country, these people can catch up if they can live for [-] years. Like the new Qin State, it was dismantled by the British, and the second generation was always born in comfort and died in the schemes of others.

The first thousand, 750 chapters and nine arrogant Frenchmen

After sighing for a while, Zhang Siyuan returned to Wellington, the highest residence of the New China Kingdom, a castle built by the British, which is now his house and office. Jin Lin followed, Song Qing also came, and Qiang Wei also came up.

Song Qing reported to him about the recent naval fleet, and then said to him: "After the war, the Dutch were severely damaged, and they still occupy the two large island groups of the Azores. We occupied the island group of Hero Port. The Dutch hoped that we could hand over the hero port to them, but Zhang Yuan refused them. The Dutch are very unfriendly to us now, but I think they know our strength and have maintained a little restraint. It’s just that the two sides are in the waters of the Azov Islands There was friction, and Wang Yunwei was there to ask us what to do?"

"Don't worry about them, the Dutch dare not fight with us, wait, tell Zhang Yuan, if the Dutch give up Tripoli and the remaining half of the Cuban mainland, we will give them the hero port, and we can also sell it to They have a thousand warships, these warships we sell to them the captured warships and the second-hand warships damaged and repaired in our battles, we can have more than 1000 new warships in at least half a year, and we can save money by handing over these warships A lot of warship maintenance costs and reorganization of the navy, recently we have transferred our main work to the new Dingyang state.

At the same time, we will speed up the acquisition and distribution of the Han population, increase our Han population base and strength, gradually clear up the source of mercenaries we obtained from captives, and control our foreign population. Recently, Jinlin, you have gathered troops to conquer Maine Take it all down, drive away all the Indians, all British immigrants and North Americans there, and arrange the uncontrolled Han Chinese and mercenary families in us, as well as foreigners, to the new occupied areas, How to do it you know. "

A few people nodded. This is to continue to increase the population of the Han people, and at the same time completely want the Cuban mainland. The New China Kingdom had already acquired half of the islands and territory of the Cuban mainland from the Spaniards. After the Gulf of Mexico War, which half was occupied by the Dutch? Thinking of developing into the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea, they will definitely not be able to keep themselves now.

Now that Tripoli and this half are given to them, they will face the French, and the Dutch can retreat to the island chain of Grand Bahama Island, recuperate, and avoid direct contact with the French, which is good for both sides.

Moreover, the Dutch can obtain more than 1000 warships that can fight, and they can immediately form combat effectiveness. Anyway, most of the Dutch build themselves are merchant ships. , But when it comes to steam engine warships and the fast-developing warships now, the Dutch can only rely on the French and the new Qin and New Huaxia kingdoms.

Now that the New Qin State has been ruled by the British, they can only rely on the French and the New China Kingdom.

So even if they are not allies, but just collaborators, the Dutch will not make things worse, and the Kingdom of New China cannot go to occupy the place of Azores now. It is just that they collected it by the way when they finally picked up the cheap, and waited for them to transfer. After finishing the Han people on the island and the more loyal captured mercenaries, there is no use for them now, at least not now.
