naval warfare novels(1/2)
In fact, when "The Great Power" reached 800,000 words yesterday, I wanted to write something. When I created a new doc, I was so desolate that I couldn't write anything.
When I signed a contract with Qidian, I was bold enough to write one million words. The signing editor compressed it for me and only asked me to write eight hundred thousand words. Before uploading, there were actually about 100,000 words to save manuscripts, but I am a lazy person, and I used up all the manuscripts in minutes. I also found that online novels and what I taught in my professional courses were completely different. I originally thought I would be a shameless eunuch before 800,000 words, but now I really wrote eight hundred thousand words.
Today, I chose the direction of my graduation thesis, but I did not choose high-end things like local novels or modernism, nor did I choose the metaphysics of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties and the eight-legged essays of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. Since I rebelled against the Internet world, I would honestly write my own specialties - new historic novels and historical online novels. The former was the correction of revolutionary models in the 1990s, while the latter was the dance of demons.
The topic is very big, the angle is not novel, and I haven't written literary and artistic articles for almost a year, so I was very nervous. I searched for information online this afternoon. There are still only a few books I have read in the new historic novels. In addition to the "Dust Settlement", the too gorgeous "Red Sorghum" and the "White Deer Plain" that is cramped, and the cheating "Li Zicheng" are still not my own. When I searched for historical online novels, I reviewed "The Story of Ming" through the catalog, and then moved to my old career - naval novels, or to be precise, naval novels from the Steam Age. After thinking about it, I simply recommended a naval battle novel for the Navy Dogs.
In a broad sense, novels that have naval construction and naval battle plots in novels are considered Shanghai war novels. However, the value and significance of these novels are not the flash of inspiration, but the complete extension of sea, land, space, politics, economy, thought and culture. Therefore, these novels are usually larger and more likely to be outstanding. However, the energy of writers is limited after all, and most of the time, these naval battle plots are relatively awkward.
In a narrow sense, are just a sub-theme below the historical and military category. This topic has been studied by many online writers, but it is still considered a barren land at present.
Of course, in the era when online literature is approaching a bottleneck and inevitably begins to repetition and plagiarism, this subject has certain value, but themselves lack the motivation to "popularize". The navy is always restrained. Therefore, this type of novel itself and its audience usually inevitably have a certain tendency to restrain themselves, so this subject is destined to be niche. It can be expected that more and more writers will notice this subject with room for development, but it is also destined to have many works that are lukewarm or even fail.
Below are some naval combat novels I have read. The narrow naval combat novels are placed in the front and broadly placed in the back.
1. "The Qing Empire"
Recommended index: 4
First, this is a book of eunuchs, second, this is a book of braids, again. This is a book of slow fever, and finally, this is my favorite naval novel.
The protagonist travels through time and becomes Guangxu, and the old lady Ko won the victory of the Sino-French Vietnam War and the Sino-British Burmese War. Finally, before the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the eunuch broke the update...
Half-life Hei Yu is good at sensational plots (with the style of a certain eunuch). The plot progresses quickly in the early stage and the writing style is amazing. However, the plot develops to the middle stage, and the author makes obvious progress. The author has put in a lot of effort in naval battles. This guy has been asking questions at the joint forum on naval history research for many years. What is even more admirable is that the author dares to design a major naval battle for success or failure, which shows how deep the author's layout is.
In addition to the first naval battle, in the subsequent naval construction and the Gulf of Siam, we can finally appreciate the qualities that first-class naval novels should have and feel the charm of blood and fire. In terms of land warfare, it is a matter of opinion whether a large number of citations on "The Korean War" will interfere with reading.
2. "Sea Soul"
Recommended index: 3
Shi Shuo is a professional naval employee and a famous and productive writer from the starting point. "Sea Soul", "Giant Wave", "Burning Ocean", and "Imperial Storm" are all masterpieces of Shi Shuo.
Shining naval novels are always criticized by the Navy Forum because the warships and naval battles they design always have some minor mistakes. According to the rumors, Shining is the high productivity of the team behind it...
However, although the flashing naval knowledge is lacking, it is still a flagship character in Qidian Navy's novel. As an early-up novel, "Sea Soul" has novelty in its setting and complete character clues that are difficult to reach in other naval novels. Although it cannot be used as an entry-level work of the Navy in the Steam Age, it is still a big meal that you cannot miss if you like naval novels.
3. "The Empire of Ming Dynasty"
Recommended index: 3
In World War II, the masterpiece of aeroplane carrier warfare, the military academy graduates started as officers on the ship until they became the empire's sea heroes. The eunuch's article, the opening is somewhat similar to the setting of "Sea Soul", but the novel enters the plot faster and has a better story.
It is said that this book is taken from another novel about Fengfan Navy Contest in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Due to the loss of the latter's manuscript, the author simply started to create this naval novel.
4. "Training the Pacific"
Recommended index: 4
The author Hippo Sanren, with Shinshuo and the author's speechless fate of "The Struggle of the Petty Citizens" mentioned later, has a faint development trend of the new naval novel professionals.
"Training the Pacific" is a classic work in the era of the Dreadnoughts. It made its fortune from Hawaii, then counterattacked the mainland (my personal favorite plot), and fought over the ocean. The novel has excellent writing style and smooth flow, and systematically built a history of making a strong maritime country. As long as the dreadnoughts can be found in one battle, they will appear in the naval battle. This book can be said to be the ultimate fantasy of the **b party.
Let me complain, why does Hippo's new book "The Great Hero of Xinhai" have not had a naval battle so far????
5. "Beiyang"
Recommended index: 3
A journey of traveling tourists descended on the late Qing Dynasty, where stupid pigs flew all over the sky, overcame all the obstacles until taking over the Beiyang and breaking through the sky with thousands of horses. In short, you can see the struggle history of "little people". You can also find the heroic sea battles and the final dreadnought era.
As a naval novel, this book meets all readers' expectations. As for the sea of dreadnoughts that the **b party wants and the aircraft carrier war that the CV party wants, it can only be blamed for the pig's feet traveling through earlier...
6. "Rise of China"
Recommended index: 4
The masterpiece written since the Sino-Japanese War of 1894, the pinnacle soy sauce article, and the entry-level work of naval enthusiasts. Its martial arts guide assault rifle is a fanatical supporter of the "very rare" port battleship. It has another name, just as the word count of this book is too scammed, so it is better to choose a long story short version.
Finally. If you want to read the history of the naval development in the Steam Age, then you can find this book and the history of naval warfare in the Steam Age. Then please find this book. If you have any exquisite ideas about the Dreadnought, you can get more inspiration from this book. If you can't stand a lot of data and complex naval knowledge, you want to read more novels with storylines. The previous six novels are yours.
7. "The Prince of Men"
Recommendation index: Unknown.
Not finished, the year is better.
Many people like this novel, but I haven't read it, so I don't know how to evaluate it. Well, it should be a novel similar to the Dahai Network. The online plot is similar to the real naval battle plot. Judging from the feedback from book fans, the writing style and plot should be good.
8. "New History of China in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895"
Recommended index: 4
In the end, the book of the fifth master, the protagonist traveled through time. He encountered an Italian ship designer, who helped Italy design two cruisers that surpassed the times. After returning to China with foreign countries, he became Li Hongzhang's apprentice, and formed a deep friendship with Liu Mingchuan, and had a transcendent position in the Beiyang.
This book has ended at the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, and the conflict between China and Russia has intensified. The trend is unclear. Well, we cannot count on the love of the fifth master, nor can we count on the land battle of the fifth master. However, as a solid naval foundation, the naval construction and naval battle plots are unquestionable. Finally, the novel is a bit abrupt, just jump over it.
9. "From Pirates to Navy"
Recommendation Index: Unknown
A naval soldier who traveled through time and space for no reason to return to the early 19th century. Facing the upcoming Opium War and the blue sea, he suddenly realized that the entire Southeast Asia was actually the Chinese world in the early 19th century. He had no choice just because he was also one of them... Then start with pirates.
This is a summary of the book. Because I haven't read it, how can I say it? I don't want to recharge Tiexue.com. I really can't stand this forum that is said to be a military fan house but is full of monsters and monsters, so I can only barely read the public chapters.
10. "The Qing Dynasty's Demolition Worker"
Recommended index: 4
The cruiser, a naval professional with a well-known starting point, has two naval novels in the Navy Steam Age, "The Demolition Worker of the Qing Dynasty" and "Only My Dictator", and "The Coachman on the Sea" from the ancient sailing era.
"The Demolition Worker of the Qing Dynasty" is a very happy book, similar to "Training the Pacific", but both have their own characteristics. "Only My Dictator" is a time-travel book in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894. The protagonist has a submarine that specializes in stabbing people with chrysanthemums as his trump card. Well, just rush to this, I will retreat. The second book should be a bit big.
11. "Recasting the Third Reich's New Age of Sea Power"
Recommended index: 3
In the work of Deshangcheng, the protagonist travels to the Seedlitz in the Battle of Jutland, which does not change the end of World War I, and the highlight is World War II.
This book can actually be regarded as a masterpiece of how to save the navy's title of defeat in a naval power to make a comeback. Since the preparation period for defeat in the first world to World War II was too long, I finally left this book and didn't know what the real naval battle was going to be. Therefore, I scored three points and was not accurate.
12. "Riding America"
Recommended index: 2
The author Gu Longgang can be said to have created a new sub-theme for Qidian historical novels. This theme can almost blend with naval novels, because starting from Alaska, a ghost place, breaking the soil, naturally, a large navy is needed, and a large navy is needed for counterattacking the mainland.
"Riding America" has quite a lot of naval plots, and the first half of the plot is pretty good, but when the Alaska Navy era entered, the fantasy of half-baked experts began. It was unreliable to build battleships that were not inferior to the United States and the Stars and Stripes without any industrial accumulation.
13. "The Dragon Tortoise of the East Sea"
Recommended index: 3
Star Dun's book. The protagonist traveled through time is quite bad, and the war ended. Before the Northern Expedition of the two parties, the Hainan Island cultivation plan was naturally difficult, but the protagonist has a great time and space channel that can be smuggled in time and space...
This book is not finished. Judging from the introduction, it should be based on Hainan Island to counterattack the mainland and then establish a large navy to kill the country.
In addition, Xingchen has many private goods in his hands that a certain party in that era was not enough to be known to outsiders, so it depends on whether Xingchen dares to challenge the river crab.
14. "The Age of the Great Ships and Cannons in Different Time and Space"
Recommendation Index: Unknown
I have been chasing Qiselang's book for a while, but finally gave up.
This book is indeed a cool article, but the plot jumps a little fast and the writing style is a bit novice. I gave up if I couldn't see the navy plot. Of course, it was also possible that it was a good dish to jump to watch. The big ships and giant cannons of different time and space, and the dreadnought are its selling point, so there should be a good place.
15. "Industrial China"
Recommended index: 4
Xuepiao’s book is not finished and has been updated slowly. My favorite novel about Fujian Mawei Starting. I personally love the Nanyang system and the Mawei series the most because it is not a high starting point after traveling through time, but the foundation is good.
The protagonist of this book improves cannons and starts with mastering the Nanyang Navy and the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and beating France hard. How can it be so cool?
16. "Sea Frontier"
Recommended index: 3
Works of the Cavalry. After the First Opium War, the Lin family, a great merchant from Guangdong, sent their son to study at the Portsmouth Naval Academy in the UK. During graduation practice, they commanded the training ship to sail into the Mediterranean. By chance, they worked as part-time pirates, accumulated a large amount of wealth and brought a fleet back to Guangzhou, and became the commander of the Guangzhou Navy.
I don’t need to go into details about the plot later. In addition to the chapters with the heroine are too tricky, this book is worth reading by the Navy Party School.
(--Gorgeous dividing line--)
1. "The Struggle of the Petty Citizen"
Recommended index: 4
A little like Shinshu, his speechless fate has become increasingly crazy recently. It seems to be about to carry out naval naval battles to the end. From the turbulent "The Struggle of the Little Citizen" to "The Rise of Manjianghong" to "New Era 1912", the little guy's gold fingers are always indispensable to earn his first pot of gold, then develops industry to recruit soldiers, agrees to the whole country, and finally, his personal favorite nationalism, political construction and the inevitable dreadnought aircraft carrier air force.
Speechless fate still has some research on naval warfare. He has mastered the specific details well. Occasionally, there are many treasured private goods to share, which can write about the power of naval warfare. Moreover, as a master of starting points, his writing skills are placed there, so there is no need to worry that his novels are not enough to read.
The shortcomings are also old problems, such as the development of the air force is too simple, the late tumultuous story of the novel, the nationalism of the river crab... Finally, I want to say something, the air-to-ship attack that Wu Wu sold frantically in his new book always feels uneasy, that's a battle!
2. "Guangxu China"
Recommended index: 2
The works of the Demon Hero have been recently taken by some river crab.
The plot of the article can be inferred from the name. This book, like "The Qing Empire", is a braided article, which can be regarded as a naval novel in a broad sense. I am not interested in braid article, but I still want to criticize this book. Damn it, what kind of Sino-British joint fleet is, and not to mention the moral integrity that the country should have, even our Taizu dared to form a joint fleet with the Russians. As a time traveler, Guangxu, where did you get the courage!
3. "Iron Man"
To be continued...
