Chapter 394: Stirring

The fleet brought by Min Yue this time was originally to take on the task of taking Ye Tao back to Dongping. There was a special tiger-tooth ship. It was not too luxurious in the layout of the cabin, but it was very delicate and comfortable. This ship naturally became Ye Tao's flagship. Although Ye Tao was not an expert in shipbuilding, he still knew the basic structure of the tiger-tooth ship. After boarding the ship with Tan Weixin, he immediately discovered that the difference between this ship and other tiger-tooth ships was not only to reduce the number of crossbow gun positions and ammunition stocks, so as to make enough space to make the ride more comfortable. This tiger-tooth ship, called "Ning Xuan", is clearly a special fleet flagship. The original structure of the tiger-tooth ship is somewhat similar to that of modern warships.

The upper floor adopts the middle bridge with gun positions arranged at the beginning and the end and on both sides. However, the Ningxuan has undergone new changes. The upper floor structure is wider and tall, and is divided into three layers. The upper floor is a platform with two trapezoidal inverted shapes. In the front, it is used to observe the sea conditions and observe the situation of the battle. In the back, there are several flag and light box contact positions, which can communicate with several warships at the same time. The middle floor is a semi-enclosed bridge and a huge chart room connected to it. These two spacious and bright cabins already have a taste of the bridges and command centers of modern warships. The bottom floor of the upper structure is the room where the guards live, a series of deck preparation rooms, a tool room, and a weapon room that stores various cold weapons.

Min Yue introduced to Ye Tao with great sanity that this Ningxuan ship was specially made. After the strong rise of Qihai Trading Company, Dongping certainly relied on this special business group to greatly enhance its strength, and even obtained a territory like Yazhou with abundant resources and excellent strategic location. The fleet of Qihai Trading Company can also become Dongping's maritime power at critical moments. However, the Dongping Naval Commander was very embarrassed. It turned out that the navy, which had already had a very high status, could only give Qihai to Qihai for many years.

The trading company has taken action. The navy officers and soldiers are very dissatisfied, but their main responsibility is to guard the sea front and have little chance to attack, so this aura can only be kept in their hearts. This pressure makes the navy work harder in training and track the latest naval battles and tactics more carefully and meticulously. The thousands of large and small naval battles that the escort fleet of Qihai Trading Company have been recorded on the navy. The navy is also studying how to improve its combat effectiveness when tracking these naval battles.

The Dongping Navy abandoned the boarding war a long time ago, and adopted a non-contact naval battle dominated by divine arm bows and stone throwing cars. This led to the two very useful warships of Cangshui Ship and Lanshui Ship. The Tiger Teeth Ship created by Qihai Trading Company has adopted long-range strikes as the main combat mode since its inception. As the captain and fleet leaders increasingly understand the advantages and disadvantages of Tiger Teeth Ship. The formation shooting, suppression and other combat methods of Tiger Teeth Ship continue to emerge, and the command and coordination of warship formations has become an increasingly important proposition. After the birth of the airship

The Qihai Trading Company and the Dongping Navy considered the issue of bringing airships to the sea and enriching combat methods at almost the same time. In this regard, compared with the combat fleet of the Qihai Trading Company, which has been in operation and has no time to calm down and think and organize, the Dongping Navy's considerations are much more serious and meticulous. The information about airships' combat operations, led by Min Yue, must be more information about airship operations than the Qihai Trading Company. The benefits of airships in reconnaissance and the deterrence formed on the enemy are also considered in their consideration of improving the navy's combat strategies.

.When changing the combat methods and carrying out a series of exercises and training, the navy generals discovered a problem: communication. The electrical research of Ye’s workshop was just beginning. Although electromagnetic waves have entered the vision of those top technicians under Ye Tao’s "suggestion", it is not known when it will be possible to conduct wireless communication. For the time being, they can only conduct naval combat command through flags, light boxes and other means. The original command flags are increasingly emphasizing coordination through flags and communication with each other.

The naval battle command seems to be more willing but not enough. According to a more modern saying, it means that the channel is insufficient. At the same time, it can only communicate with two to three warships. In order to change this situation, the Dongping Navy simply created an experimental Ningxuan, sacrificed its firepower and made room for special naval battle command. The first fleet of the Yazhou Navy sent this time has been carried out through a complete set of drills for combat with Ningxuan. The firepower of a warship has been sacrificed, but the situation of the entire naval battle is obtained with a more refined grasp of the situation. Everyone generally thinks it is very worth it.

The warship captains of the Qihai Trading Company were all people who knew the goods. After going to sea, they quickly held several combat meetings at sea. After boarding the Ningxuan and taking a look, the captains discovered the benefits of Ningxuan's design for naval combat command. This made the soldiers of the Dongping Navy show their faces in front of the captains who had outstanding achievements. This is the result of the research and development of the Dongping Navy, and the strategic research room of the Dongping Navy, which is not professional but is playing an active role, also has some significance because of the affirmation of these captains. Of course, whether it is really useful depends on how much effect the Ningxuan can play in actual combat.

With an old naval general like Min Yue to command, Ye Tao has a lot of confidence. Ye Tao knew that he was a decent land war general. On the one hand, because he had already done all kinds of work ahead. Whether it was the choice of strategic timing or the grasp of tactical situation, whether it was the strength of the main combat troops or the logistics support, it made it impossible for all previous battles to fail. Of course, it was apart from Ye Tao's hot-headedness, attacking Xiling with the Blood Kind Army, and destroying the collegial proposal. With all preparations, Ye Tao always believed in the team he led and his decision. However, in an extremely professional field of naval warfare, Ye Tao did not have this confidence. However, under Ye Tao's trust, Min Yue was able to give Ye Tao absolute prestige in the minds of the Qihai Trading Club, and assisted by professional knowledge, skills and experience.

"Old Min, how do you fight?" After getting familiar with each other, Min Yue and Ye Tao, two people who are not particular, have simply referred to each other to the extreme. This kind of intimacy and trust may be very useful at critical moments.

"It will take more than ten days from us to the Montoya Islands, right? This can only be achieved when we are smooth sailing now. Although Mr. Qi is old, he is still stronger in naval battle command. I believe that since the old man has chosen to deal with his opponents, he must be sure to survive. With the strength of the Tiger Teeth Ship, even if he encounters any danger, he can at least run away. Just just rushing to help the old man, he is still quite sure. However, the problem is that our current fleet seems too wasteful in this mission. After the round with the old man, are we going to join the 1,000-ship melee? Or are we going to do something else?" Min Yue asked with a smile.

"Aren't you looking forward to the melee of Thousand Ships?" Ye Tao asked in confusion: "Isn't you in a hurry to see it?"

"It is indeed difficult to see a thousand-ship melee. When you think of that scene, you will be stumbled in your heart. You have to see it. But naval battles are different from land battles. Thousand-ship melee... It's not a battle of hundreds of thousands or even millions of troops on the ground. If you fight like this, it's a good time to fight. This is a bet between the two sides on the national destiny. No one will give up until the last moment. It's like watching a play. Even if the play is very good, it's sometimes a bit boring to see it from scratch. We're just fine before we arrive?"

Ye Tao thought for a while and said, "What do you want to play? Have you already had an idea?... But did you know in advance that the fight started here or what's going on? According to the truth, you shouldn't be prepared."

"There is no war, so we are not allowed to think about it..." Min Yue said with a smile: "The navy has not had a decent battle for many years? We are all watching the Samir family fighting here. The Middle East sea charts piled in the Navy's yamen are much more than those in the Qihai Trading Club. Thanks to their willingness to help, those precious navigators are willing to backup the navigator's yamen. We have deduced the battle situation here for countless times. What news is here, although the navigator's yamen will be delayed when they get the news.

It took a long time, but it was better than not coming without any attention. Because of the research in the Navy Yamen, the Ning Xuan number was found. Now, everyone has seen that it is still very beneficial to do research in the Navy Yamen. So they became more and more serious. Although the chess deduction cannot compare to actual combat, it is better than not coming without any preparations." Min Yue was a little helpless, "If it weren't for the fact that there were so many things in the Navy Yamen, I would rather bring my men to Nanyang... It's a pity that the war is over now."

Ye Tao smiled and said, "Old Min, wait for the battle against Northern Liao, the navy will definitely show his face. I don't expect to be a supporting role at that time, so I have to be a little prepared now. Then you continue, how do you want to fight this battle?"

Min Yue said meaningfully: "How about we go to the Bay Area and go to their nests to stir up trouble?"

"Okay... let's study the specific plan again. Now, it's important to pick up the old man first. After all, letting the old man rely on a few guard ships to deal with the superior enemies is not a solution." Ye Tao nodded.

Min Yue said happily: "It's enough to have the good word "you".
