Even the ammunition depot is only 1/5 of the average cruiser of the same level, and the extra space is all used for fuel to increase battery life.

Of course, Ming's warships also used a small amount of aluminum alloy materials to reduce their own weight.

But there are very few.

Because the culture value penalty of military-grade aluminum alloy is very expensive, ordinary aluminum alloy is too soft and not resistant to seawater corrosion.

And even if it is military-grade aluminum alloy, it is helpless to use it on a warship.

During the British-Aman Islands War, the British warship "Sheffield" was hit by an Exocet missile and burned.

The aluminum on the warship also burned, which was difficult to extinguish, causing the complete damage of the "Sheffield".

Chapter 621 The Aluminum Ship Plan with Ying

Just because there is a precedent for the "Sheffield" being destroyed in one burn, the Ming Dynasty Navy only used a small amount of aluminum alloy materials as internal structural components.

Overall, the effect of weight loss is not very obvious.

Of course, Dai Ying, who made this mistake 110 years later, has no idea of ​​aluminum materials, especially the poor performance of inferior aluminum materials under seawater corrosion and shelling.

They are secretly building a special aluminum armored ship as a secret weapon against the German and Ming navy.

This is Sir Churchill, who discovered the magical effect of aluminum after Ming Dynasty participated in the Olympic Games, and now it is called the main project of Prime Minister Churchill.

Concentrate the pitiful aluminum production capacity in the whole of Great Britain, and secretly smelt the aluminum pots, aluminum shovels, and aluminum spoons sold by Baoming, and save a few super fast ships with a speed of more than 20 knots per hour.

The plan is also known as the Portsmouth Plan because it was built in Portsmouth.

The British thought their secret shipbuilding plan was perfect and kept secret.

But in fact, Daming already knew it well.

Daiying's steel output is indeed terrifying, reaching the terrifying value of 0.1 Tangshan Iron and Steel Works this year.

More than the sum of Germany, France, Russia and Austria.

However, their aluminum output is not satisfactory, only comparable to that of Germany, and completely incomparable with Daming.

Producing electrolytic aluminum requires an enormous amount of electricity.

The agents of the Ming Dynasty can infer the expansion speed of Daiying coal-fired thermal power plants through the changes in the level of smog in London, and then they can infer the growth of their aluminum production.

With so much precious electricity used to make aluminum, the answer is on the horizon.

They can't be the first to build aluminum aircraft, can they?

If Dai Ying has this strength, Zhu Fugui has to seriously consider Victoria's old sister-in-law's proposal about G2.

In addition, because of the previous stock market crash, it led to an unprecedented financial crisis in the UK.

Although they could alleviate the crisis by squeezing the colonies, those thermal power plants still shut down as expected.

According to a report in The Times, the City of London has seen a rare improvement in air quality this summer.

It wasn't until September that the air in London became visibly gray again.

The number of patients dying from respiratory diseases is also increasing rapidly.

A lot of people are starting to complain about the damn weather.

These data are the first-hand intelligence of Daming agents.

In short, the thinking of Daming's shipbuilding is not exactly the same as that of Daiying, but Daming is definitely not wrong. After all, when it comes to copying homework, Zhu Fugui is really not afraid of anyone.

At 9:20 in the morning, the commander of the Dingyuan ship played a semaphore, and the on-board radio stations of each ship maintained communication.

The Royal Army of the Ming Dynasty, the first phase of the "Great Sage Returns" military exercise, the "Dinghaishenzhen" operation officially started.

In the "Dinghai Shenzhen" operation, 70% of the commanders of the Shenzhou Capital, 50% of the Commanders of the Pacific Capital, 60% of the Commanders of the Northern Yindu, 50% of the Commanders of the Atlantic Capital, and 80% of the Commanders of the Southern Yindu were assembled. (A Spanish sailing battleship that Hong Xiuquan's elder brother paid tribute to) the sea power.

Even for ships that did not participate because of preparations, a chief officer boarded the Dingyuan and Zhenyuan ships as an observer to observe and study.

After all, compared with the British, or even the French, the Ming Navy still has too little actual combat experience.

As far as experience is concerned, just better than the Germans, not necessarily as rich as the Russians and Ottomans.

Of course, the sea experience of the Ottomans is also the experience of the previous era.

With the advent of the era of giant iron-clad ships, the broken ships of the old era can no longer carry the old empire.

In the "Dinghaishenzhen" operation, the joint fleet of Shenzhou and Indian Ocean Metropolitan Command Divisions commanded by Wang Zhonghuang was used as the attacking party, simulating breaking through the regional blockade of the Atlantic, Northern Yin, and Southern Yin Metropolitan Command Division fleets commanded by Morishita.

This division of labor is due to the different strategic goals of each major theater.

The first two command and divisions are more inclined to attack, and the last three are more inclined to defend.

The process of the exercise is also very exciting.

Knowing that Morishita likes to take risks and surprises, and uses offense instead of defense, Wang Zhonghuang made a plan to loosen the outside and tighten the inside, and fight steadily to catch the turtle in the urn.

Created the illusion of exhaustion in the early attack, and exposed the flank flaws, and repeatedly seduced.

Morishita carefully tried several times, and after tasting the sweetness, he was really fooled, and all the fast ships were released, hoping to turn over the opponent in one fell swoop.

However, the fast fleet lost the cover of the two giant ships of Shenzhou and Beiyinzhou, and soon fell into a trap carefully woven by the attacking side, and was finally annihilated by the referee.

After this battle, Morishita hastily shrunk the battle line, took advantage of radio communication, micro-manipulated the formation, and used the two big meat shields of Shenzhou and Beiyinzhou to block the gap before Wang Zhonghuang's main force broke through.

The battle eventually became a stalemate, and the referee judged a draw.

However, just like in chess and chess, the first player is often judged to be defeated. As the defender, he has the first mover advantage. Once there is a tie, he will naturally be sentenced to lose.

"Brother Wang! What three!"

On the Dingyuan, Morishita gave Wang Zhonghuang a fistful salute, and then said in a strange accent, "I'm ashamed of you, my brother's tactics are very tough. If you lose to Wang Zhonghuang, you're not good at it!"

Wang Zhonghuang was stunned for a long time, and he even guessed to understand what Morishita meant, knowing that he had committed an old problem again.

The more people there are, the stronger his "Yunnan dialect".

The night school for so many years of elegant words and correct pronunciation is nothing.

But there is no way, even if the Long Live Lord said him, he would still talk about his local accent hard to change, please forgive me.

This is an obsession...

As an old friend and classmate, Wang Zhonghuang didn't have much to say.

"Brother Sen, when you and I were studying together in New York, Brother Yu's written test scores were often better than yours, but in practical lessons and war chess lessons, you often beat me. This means that my talent is far superior to Brother Yu's." .”

Wang Zhonghuang said with a smile, "However, stupid people occasionally use tricks, like Zhang Fei's way of earning Yan Yan, it will indeed have miraculous effects!"

The two brothers praised each other a lot, and in the end, Marshal Zhu made a commentary on the exercise.

Of course, Zhu Fugui didn't really understand the evolution of the battlefield, but some staff members had already handed in their speeches.

The staff officer doesn't have a commander, and he doesn't fart loudly.

These young people who graduated from the Guozijian major in military theory are almost Zhao Kuo per capita, and they will definitely cause trouble if they are placed on the front line alone.

But it is definitely a good hand for them to check for leaks and fill in vacancies.

The ability to solve problems may not be there, but the ability to find problems is, and it is great.

These academics pointed out the omissions that many parties did not notice when the ships of the two sides cooperated in the operation, and put forward valuable opinions.

As long as front-line officers and soldiers find ways to solve these problems, the cooperation level of surface forces in the joint operations of the Daming Kua theater will definitely reach a new level.

Of course, saying that seems a bit like taking your pants off and farting.

Because if you want to ensure the navy's joint operations across theaters, it is much simpler and more effective to cancel the theater and restore the command of the Navy Headquarters.

But in reality, it is necessary.

Because the second exercise project is to break the barriers of the military and realize the joint operations of sea and land.

Part of the Ming Navy fleet returned to their respective bases, and part of it sailed to Daming Tianjin Wei, which is the so-called Ming Lijian Lease.

After resting there for two days, the second stage of "The Return of the Great Sage" "Yuyu's Clarification" and the third stage "Havoc in Heaven" will unfold in sequence.

Chapter 622 Yang Qingtian Comes

Jinzhou City, also known as Pancheng, was first built in the Liao Dynasty. It is the traffic hub of the West Liao Corridor and a must-have for military families.

In the 24th year of Hongwu, because the old city site was rebuilt, and the Hongzhi and Chenghua years were added separately, the shape of the city was like a plate, so it is commonly known as Pancheng.

Since the 15th year of Chongzhen, and the [-]th year of Aixinjueluo Huangtaiji in the puppet Qing Dynasty, this place has been occupied by the Qing Dynasty.

According to Liu Genda, the shopkeeper of Liu Laogen's food stall in Nara, Japan's Protectorate's Office, his ancestors were trapped in bandits at that time and forced to become the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty.

Whether it was forced or not, there is no way to verify this matter.

But in recent years, with the frequent trips of Daming sea ships to Fusang, North Korea, and Tianjin, Ming goods are everywhere, and books are banned.

Outside the customs, which was originally deserted, became even more desolate.

But Jinzhou is different.

The first Batulu in the Qing Dynasty, the pillar of the dynasty, and the royal tent of Tongliao Khan Suotna, who had [-] soldiers, is located here.

He was originally stationed in Tianjin.

However, as the British forces entered the Kinki area, Lord Suo ran to Jinzhou.

He doesn't like foreigners and doesn't want to see them.

This is of course only one aspect.

The most important thing is that the so-called British garrisons, except for some elite troops who are authentic white skins, most of them are colonial servants.

Among them, the commander of the Gurkha division was recognized by Lord Suo at a glance.

Who else could it be if it wasn't the iron waste defender who was thrown on his back several times in the Olympics?

On the green field, Lord Suo is not afraid of that Gorkha.

A bunch of Mongols are also worthy of competing with an authentic old Mongolian prince like himself?

I will throw you away!

But now, behind the Gurkha is the British guy.

Lord Suo had no choice but to withdraw from the customs to avoid the edge.

However, Lord Suo chose to station in Jinzhou. Although he was outside the pass, he would enter the pass at any time if there was any disturbance, so he could advance and retreat freely.

In addition, being stationed here is also convenient for raising military expenses.

The Northeast is rich in products.

In addition to the abalone and scallops produced in the Liaodong Peninsula, there are also various mink fur, ginseng, antler, etc. As for the beef and mutton shop from the grassland, cheese, etc., there are countless.

These are the favorites of the people of Ming Dynasty.

American ginseng was sold to the little red men in the Southern Tang Dynasty to eat, and the people in the Ming Dynasty still prefer the old mountain ginseng from Changbai Mountain.

Laoshan ginseng is also a traditional tribute paid by the emperor of the Central Plains in the Joseon Dynasty.

For a while, Suo Wangye's ginseng digging team and North Korean ginseng digging Shanhu frequently had conflicts on Changbai Mountain.

The lawsuit went to Daming Honglu Temple, and it was finally ruled that Changbai Mountain has not been the homeland of Goryeo since ancient times, and there is no inheritance relationship between Goguryeo and Goryeo.

Of course, North Korea was originally Jizi North Korea and the four counties of Han, and Shiwei and Mongolia are both Chinese lands, so there is no point in arguing with each other.

In order to avoid disputes, from now on, the Department of Agriculture of the Ministry of Household Affairs of the Ming Dynasty will work with the Health and Health Commission to jointly formulate the quota for the supply of ginseng harvested every quarter, and entrust Mongolian Soxhlet to dig and collect it.

Care must be taken with resource conservation.

Those that exceed the mining quota will not be purchased.

At the same time, the Grand Duke Li, who is currently in power in North Korea, should have cooperated with the Nanyang Loyalty Army and the Atlantic Gaoxianzhi Division to recruit soldiers since the Ming Emperor passed on.

He also wrote the book "Shipo Dongxue" to educate the Koreans and promote the necessity of the Ming Dynasty's unification of the Eastern Region.

Therefore, Emperor Ming decided to praise him.

Three thousand maidservants who paid tribute to Goryeo were allowed to be resettled in naturalization centers in various cities in Yinzhou.

For each maidservant, the imperial court will give back 100 catties of white rice, [-] catties of white flour, [-] catties of stick noodles, [-] bolts of calico, and [-] yuan of Daming banknotes.

This is by no means a small sum of money.

The cornmeal that Zhu Fugui gave to North Korea was not cornmeal for pigs in the southern state, but cornmeal for people to eat, and at most it was a little stale.
