I am rich in martial arts, but choose culture to win

As for Daming's real new ocean-going transport ship, after a year and a half of design and construction, it is about to launch now.

The power system of this named prototype ship still uses the mature technology of the Royal Shipyard-water tube boiler + steam turbine.

This system has successively replaced the shipboard power of all ships of the core value class.

However, the hull structure of the "Fuqiang" and other ships is a bit of a waste of the potential of this system. Only a new type of ship can be worthy of such a good power system.

On the original basis, the new ship further increased the power of the water tube boiler.

The new ship uses a three-stage expansion steam engine producing 250 horsepower with 14000 pounds of pressure propulsion.

And its displacement has reached 4500 tons. Even if it is placed in the UK, it can be regarded as a medium-sized merchant ship. If it is placed in the Far East, it is definitely a first-class giant ship.

Chapter 235

Soon after the "Zhongjing" medical ship sailed out of Xinjin Port, a bureau of the General Staff of the Ming Dynasty also issued an order for the general mobilization of the entire army.

"Marshal Zhu's Order No. 1: All divisions, special operations brigades, production and construction corps, ships, and Jinyiwei shall immediately enter a first-level combat readiness state, and all ministries shall make preparations for recalling officers and soldiers on vacation, selecting officers, non-commissioned officers, and veterans to form new troops. Work! All ministries must not make mistakes, and those who violate it will be subject to military law!"

In the third year of Dewu's New Year, Marshal Zhu's No. [-] order made the Ming Dynasty's new military machine roar again.

But at the same time, the elders of the Ming Dynasty also discovered that compared to the previous Ming wars, which involved full mobilization, personal conquests, and national wars, this time the mobilization orders were only limited to the army.

The students of Guozijian did not suspend their classes, the workers did not organize armed pickets as a supplementary military force, and even the Tianziyan project did not suspend work.

More than 1 workers have been sculpting the astonishing face of Wanshui Lord day and night, striving to complete this iconic spectacle of Fengdu as soon as possible.

It can be said that the build-up of military forces this time did not cause any social turmoil, which also marked the growing strength of the Ming Dynasty and the maturity of the Ming army.

Of course, a mature army must learn to fight on its own. Zhu Fugui is ready to strategize for this battle.

In fact, since the eradication of the mine protection team in the mining area, starting from the battle of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Fugui has been cultivating the joint decision-making and independent command capabilities of the generals.

Of course, there is no way without training. After all, Marshal Zhu himself has no combat experience, and he has never even passed the target shooting.

Because of this, in previous wars, Ming Dynasty had cultivated a large number of generals who were familiar with the tactics of modern warfare.

Especially Qi Wenchang, the former Taiping Heavenly Kingdom officer, may now be the most advanced thinking person in the field of military technology in the world.

Very early on, Qi Wenchang was assigned to the automobile unit, and began his indissoluble bond with armored machinery.

In the training base of the teaching brigade, he, Fan Gangxin and others have long been familiar with and practiced various tactics.

And today is the day when the Ming armored forces point their sword at San Francisco!

On February 2st, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty ascended to the altar as a general, and bestowed a tiger talisman on Qi Wenchang, a senior colonel of the Royal Army of the Ming Dynasty, and ordered him to take charge of the attack on Shanghai.

Qi Wenchang knelt on one knee, raised his hands above his head, and received the tiger talisman to show the three armies.

As pointed out in "Marshal Zhu No. 1", the conquest of San Francisco, or Xinhu, is a mixed force composed of various ministries.

Its main body is the First Armored Brigade of the Royal Army. At the same time, two gunboats of the Navy "Jiading" and "Yangzhou" were transferred, as well as two regiments of the Special Operations Brigade.

At present, the division and town level of Daming still maintains the original appearance of the three-three organization, and there is no division-to-brigade transformation of the US military, or the brigade-to-division transformation of our army.

In the interim military system of the Ming Dynasty, the "A Division" has three brigades and nine regiments under its jurisdiction, the "B Division" has its second brigade and six regiments under its jurisdiction, and the "C Division" has its second brigade and four regiments under its jurisdiction.

The number of each group is about 1000-2000 people.

The first division is a type A division. The first brigade has 6000 people and is equipped with a large number of armored mechanical units.

The Special Operations Brigade is a relatively mysterious force, and the commander-in-chief is Yang Liu.

All along, their greatest military achievement may have been the reinforcement of supplies to Tianjing City.

In other words, the special operations brigade has little actual combat experience and a low reputation.

But this is not to say that special operations brigades are weak.

In fact, the original intention of this force was to emphasize urban operations and special operations, and the training has been carried out around these contents for a long time.

Unlike the Jinyiwei Beizhen Fusi Internal Guard Force, which is also based on urban operations, the special operations brigade is facing an overseas combat environment, and the enemies in the exchange of fire are also foreign enemies.

Dealing with foreign enemies naturally requires different combat concepts, for example, eliminating evil and doing everything.

This time, the General Staff of the Ministry of War directly mobilized the strength of 3000 people from the two regiments of the Special Operations Brigade, illustrating the importance of conquering the urban war in Xinhuzhong.

Together with the two gunboats of the North Pacific Navy, the total number of main forces has reached more than [-].

In addition, the Ministry of War ordered the Mobai Division, the Second Mixed Brigade, to provide cover for the battle and penetrate to the west of the Sierra Nevada to cut off possible eastern support.

According to the instructions, the Mobai Department will maintain a high degree of mobility, and if necessary, cooperate with the main force to perform feints and assist in participating in the battle.

……

Seeing the army sending billows of smoke and dust to the south, Zhu Fugui was in a complicated mood.

Although I thought it was a complete deployment made by myself and the Ministry of War after repeated research, but when I saw the real chapter, I couldn't help but think about it.

It’s like the old father who sent his child to the examination room, always worried that the child would miss the test or make other small mistakes, so that Tsinghua University and Peking University, which were sure to be admitted, missed the opportunity, so he had to go to Peking University Jade Bird to show his ambitions.

Walking off the platform, a group of guards helped His Majesty remove the crown and helmet.

This set of armor is no longer a plastic prop armor bought for hundreds of dollars.

Instead, Zhu Fugui spent a lot of money to buy the Tang Guangming Armor from armor lovers, which weighed 60 catties.

Although the appearance is invincible and coquettish, wearing it is really tormenting.

The guards helped remove the armor, and Zhu Fugui continued to expand his chest to restore the feeling of his limbs, but his eyes were still on the far away army.

Yin Susu was dressed in a camouflage military uniform, rolled his eyes at Zhu Fugui, and said, "Commander, if you are worried, why don't you go on the expedition yourself? In the end, the general is willing to swear to his death!"

"Bah, I think you just want to hit the cannon!"

Zhu Fugui saw her little trick at a glance, and pinched her peach buttocks calmly, "Elbow, let's go back to the palace, will we try my gun?"

……

It's really useless to think too much. It's not a wise move to learn from Chang Kaishen to engage in remote micro-manipulation, or to learn from the ancestor Yunwen to ask for his ancestor's blessing in the Taimiao.

It's not that Zhu Fugui is bragging, it's just that his ancestors who are unbearable in Feila, since Zhu Yunqi, went to the underworld by themselves, and they can raise their necks when they see anyone, and they have to greet them with smiles.

Whenever they dare to put on a little airs, Patriarch Baba will hang them up and whip them.

Although he didn't intend to intervene in the specific battles on the front line, Zhu Fugui didn't just have a blind eye to the progress of the war.

Since the first commercial line was put into operation in 1839, the telegraph has replaced traditional forms such as beacon towers and flying pigeons, and has become the fastest and most effective way to convey military information.

In 1850, the first submarine cable crossed the English Channel, connecting the UK and the European continent.

The first transatlantic telegraph cable was laid in 1857.

However, due to technical reasons, the transoceanic cable failed after only a few days of use.

It was also due to the failure of this transoceanic cable that there were obstacles in the exchange of information between the North American continent and the British mainland, which allowed Zhu Fugui to take advantage of a lot.

According to the original history, the year after the end of the American Civil War, that is, next year, the cable across the Atlantic was repaired and the telegraph communication between North America and Europe was restored.

But in this day and age, a fix for the transatlantic cable seems out of reach.

In contrast, the development of the telegraph in the late Qing Dynasty was very late.

"Electrical wires originated from Thailand and the West. Regardless of the distance by water or land, information can be communicated instantly, which is of great benefit to military affairs and business. For example, France is in Vietnam, Russia is in Hunchun, and Japan is in North Korea. There is something wrong. The response is nimble, and there is nothing to facilitate the merchants, so wherever the military is used to occupy the land, the commercial docks, the other clan will always plan to occupy and set up the wires."

In Zuo Zongtang's words, there is helplessness between the lines.

Zuo, Li, Zhang and others worked hard to set up many telegraph lines, but it was too late. These telegrams finally became a performance stage for the generals, governors, and commanders of the Republic of China to telegraph the whole country.

For Daming, the technical content of cable telegraph is not high, but it is still a new thing.

As a later generation, Zhu Fugui went to the radio station from the very beginning, and completely forgot about this matter.

Due to relevant laws and regulations, Zhu Fugui can only buy amateur radio stations on the platform if he does not want to pay high cultural value fines.

For example, the [Elecraft KX2 Portable Shortwave Radio] with a unit price of RMB 3 is very convenient to use and can switch between UHF and VHF frequency bands in the city and in the wild.

Shortwave communication is not at all like later generations, which is deeply interfered by various electrical clutter.

Such radio stations are installed on sea ships, [Han Qi 01] tanks and some transport vehicles.

But after all, it is non-professional radio equipment, and it is definitely not as stable as wired equipment.

Intercity communication between Ming Dynasty was finally carried out through wired signals.

It is easy to buy reliable filters on the Internet. The Xinfeng-centered telegraph network built by Daming can transmit dozens of telegrams on one wire, which is much more advanced and efficient than the single-channel telegraph currently used in the West.

This time, the First Brigade Engineer Battalion carried relevant equipment and would lay a wire from the front line of the battle to Xinlu to ensure that the court could know the battle situation on the front line as soon as possible.

Chapter 236

Guo Dazhuang was a tanker in the First Brigade.

To be precise, he was the acting battalion commander of the [-]st Tank Battalion.

The reason why he was acting battalion commander was because Guo Dazhuang's military rank was only a sergeant, and he could not be promoted to a colonel until he had achieved enough military exploits.

This is caused by the objective situation of this newly built tank battalion.

It's a little embarrassing to say that others became members of the Ace Brigade because of their extraordinary military qualities and explosive physical qualities.

And Guo Dazhuang became the ace tanker, in addition to military quality and driving skills, mainly because of his figure.

Guo Dazhuang, who is 1.52 meters tall, is very suitable for driving tanks, especially the Hanqi 01 tank.

Although he is not tall, the name Guo Dazhuang is not wrong.

He weighs a full 130 jins, and he is quite strong with tendons all over his body.

Of course, these tendons are also the result of eating and drinking enough and exercising after joining the army in Daming.

When he was serving as a soldier in the Taiping Army and eating food, Guo Dazhuang weighed less than ninety catties, and his ribs were clearly defined in the creaking nest.

It's just that this size can be made up the day after tomorrow, but this size can no longer be changed.

This is Guo Dazhuang's biggest knot.

1.52 meters, to be honest, this height is not particularly short among Chinese workers.

These days, in places like Guangxi, it is hard to eat enough and not warm enough. It is normal for a height of about 1 meters.

However, in the Ming Royal Army, especially in the first brigade, there are very few people with such a height, and they enter under the pass line.

Looking at his colleagues who are generally half a head taller than him, Guo Dazhuang said that it is impossible not to be envious.

There is a saying in Daming, "Eat an extra piece of meat, so that the son will be ten centimeters taller than the father".

When Guo Dazhuang enlisted in the army, his thinking was very simple. He would be like this for the rest of his life, but he must find a tall woman, serve her with delicious food and drink, and then give birth to a bunch of tall and straight babies like the Long Live God. .

This is also the reason why Guo Dazhuang, an ace tank player, has never found a Japanese girlfriend.

He thought these Japanese women were too short.

Guo Dazhuang heard that Lord Long Live will liberate Silla maidservants in the future, and that the legs of Silla maidservants will be a little longer than Japanese women. He plans to check the news at that time to see if he can find his true love.

Money is a man's guts. As a tank soldier with a monthly income of 20 silver dollars, Guo Dazhuang has this confidence.

Guo Dazhuang even wants to buy a Gege to play with in the future.

This is of course politically incorrect and has been criticized by ideological and political officials.

This not only violated the relevant spirit of Ming Dynasty's protection of women, but also violated the provisional army policy that the soldiers do not intermarry between Manchu and Han.

In fact, Zhu Fugui has no prejudice against the banner people, but the premise is that they must be liquidated by history and pay off their debts with interest.

At least in this era, Puyi won't be jumping for joy.

"Attention all Han cavalry, all Han cavalry, an enemy supply convoy is found 6 kilometers away from you at 3 o'clock, and an enemy supply convoy is found at 6 o'clock 3 kilometers away from you, please intercept it immediately! Please intercept it immediately!"

Suddenly, a vague voice came from the car radio, which shocked Guo Dazhuang and his deputy.

This is a radio wave communication from the former enemy headquarters.

Although the Lincoln government has been pretending to be deaf and dumb, and the Confederate government is even ignoring it, Ming has occupied the two northwest states for more than 10 months, and even the blind in each western state finds a terrible enemy around them.

The powerful California government has already organized relevant defense lines, and decided to meet with these suspicious yellow people and shoot them, and the bayonet saw red.

Of course, although the Ming Army did not slack in its daily assassination training, but in Qi Wenchang's combat style, he did not want to fight these white bandits with bayonets.

He prefers a move of Dragon Crash.

……

This is not the first time Guo Dazhuang has performed an actual combat mission.
