The biggest function of the great deduction is not to determine a tactic, but to discover the shortcomings of the Ming Dynasty during the deduction process and then make improvements to these.

At the beginning, the Navy was not mature in steamship technology, although it lasted faster than the sail battleship when there was no wind.

But when the real naval battle comes, when Manfan seizes the t-head, the disadvantage of Sudoku becomes apparent.

Why does the navy have to seize the t-head? Because sail battleships are all side-string guns. When you point the muzzle horizontally at the enemy's bow, you can use your greatest artillery advantage.

Similarly, if the enemy faces you with the bow of the ship, then his side cannon will become a decoration that will not reach you.

In the era of giant ships and cannons without a rotating turret in the middle line, seizing the t-head is an important indicator to test the ability of sailors in various countries, and this is also a point where the Ming Navy has always lagged behind the Europa Navy.

After all, experience requires accumulation. The sentence "Nothing can be done with it" can vividly explain the reason why the Ming Dynasty lacks the most experience, and is not familiar with it.

Now it is obvious that it is difficult to seize the T-shaped head. If the speed is one quarter behind, wouldn’t it just waiting to be beaten?

The concept of the Ming Navy is just eight words: speed, firepower, armor, and quantity. The Navy Equipment Department will strive to achieve the optimal balance, but this balance is based on ensuring the speed advantage of the Ming Navy.

However, during the process of the great deduction, the Navy discovered that the Ming Dynasty could not conquer the world by relying on a ship. Facing the constant enemy, gunboats and battleships may have their own shortcomings.

In fact, whether it was gunboats or battleships in the Ming Dynasty, to put it bluntly, it was a kind of ship, because battleships were constantly amplified and improved on the basis of gunboats, and their appearance had basically not changed much.

From the name of the battleship, we can see that this kind of ship is used to carry out the battleship decisive battle.

In the grand deduction, there are two types of new enemies that appear, one is the pirate armed merchant ship, and the second is the enemy's debunk fleet.

Armed merchant ships are very common among Europa merchant ships. It can even be said that most merchant ships have this configuration, so the enemy may appear anywhere.

Moreover, the enemies are scattered and rarely gather. When they encounter the main force of the Ming Dynasty, they will take the initiative to avoid and harasse them in another place.

According to the calculations, there are at least 100,000 Ming ships sailing on the sea in ten years. If escorted, even if every thirty ships are sent, more than 3,000 warships will be required to escort them, and fifty ships will be two thousand warships per warship.

It sounds like it is within an acceptable range, but can a warship conquer the world? Obviously not, how can the enemy gather several ships? What can you do if the enemy uses a speedboat to insert a sneak attack and then quickly escape from the distance?

If you chase after you, what will happen if the enemy is luring the tiger away from the mountain? What can you do if you don’t chase the enemy and keep harassing you?

What's more, the grand deduction also specifically deduced another type of fleet to address the issue of escort, and the fleet was broken.

Break the fleet is a fast fleet specially established by the enemy to destroy your transportation line. The ships may be several or one, and they don’t have to be very powerful. They just need to be stronger than the average escort warships of the Ming Dynasty.

Such warships have high speed, high firepower, and lighter armor. They are as long as they are stronger than the escort fleet. They are either designed to fight you or destroy your transportation.

When Zhu Cixuan saw the new ship model designed by these soldiers through a grand deduction, he was also very interested. Isn’t this the design idea of ​​battle cruisers in later generations?

Battlecruisers are warships that are almost built according to the standards of battleships except for armor. After the speed is greatly improved, they are used to break the battle effect of Zhuoyue.

Sure enough, the development of military technology ended up with different paths, and the wisdom of the Ming Dynasty's staff was no worse than that of anyone.

The new enemy must cooperate with the new tactics. Someone has proposed that the only ones that can deal with battle cruisers are battle cruisers, and the enemy can build the Ming Dynasty and build it!

Some people have also found that if a ship uses a steam engine to carry out a day and night pursuit of the battle cruiser, even if it cannot be wiped out completely, it can ensure that it cannot endanger the transportation line.

The key is that the flying fish-class steamship developed by Huangming Shang based on the Jinyiwei Feiyu-class Clippers is really amazing, and its speed is almost as fast as that of ordinary sailing ships.

Ten years later, this technology will definitely improve again. At that time, the speed of the steamship will definitely exceed that of the sails. Even if it cannot be used on first-class battleships, if it can be used on battle cruisers, it will make the Ming Dynasty no longer afraid of the enemy's destruction of battles.

Therefore, the Navy urgently needs to order a batch of new warships to allow the naval steam engine to enter the trial period of technological maturity, discover problems and solve problems, and then innovate based on this.

This is also the best way to quickly improve the steam engine in the Ming Dynasty. The best way to research the steam engine is to improve it while using it. In recent years, the rapid development of the steam engine in the Ming Dynasty is because various new technologies, new problems and new improvements have been proposed from various places.

The third-generation steam engine used in the factory can continue to operate for a month without failure. The best result of the first generation is only three days, and the efficiency is more than three times higher than that of the first generation.

The navy does not need to increase its speed by two or three times. As long as it can increase the speed of the warship from six or seven knots to more than fourteen knots, it will surpass the efficiency of the sails.

The idea is very beautiful, but the military expenditure has been allocated, so Zhu Cixuan will naturally not make another special allocation for the navy to build new ships.

Under Wu Dahai's repeated entanglement, Zhu Cixuan finally agreed to the Navy's requirement to sell another batch of warships to update equipment.

The Army naturally envies the navy for selling old and buying new ones. Why can't the navy be? Our flintlock rifle can also be sold for second-hand ones. Although the rifle has been smoothed, it can be used as a smoothbore rifle. If it really doesn't work, please update the barrel.

The same is true for artillery. The barrel is not rifled and it is not impossible to use it. It is just a matter of use, or if it is rebooted, it will be a good cannon.

So when the army saw that the Navy could sell equipment, the army also came up, and Zhu Cilang simply opened the conditions together this time.

The Ming Dynasty relaxed the restrictions on the army, and most of these vassal states were intentional. After all, everyone was a new army trained by the Ming Dynasty. Who wouldn't want to use the same equipment as the Ming Dynasty? Isn't this the same combat power as the Ming army?

During repeated battles, these countries also discovered the shortcomings of the comb-rope. At the same time, after Euro received a large order from Mughal, the flintlock workshops increased rapidly, resulting in the acceleration of the flintlock reform.

As Ottoman saw that the two sides started to make flintlocks, he naturally could not fall behind. Therefore, the whole world was entering the era of flintlock rifle, so how could the vassal state not be active!

Of course, Zhu Cilang opened the flintlock rifle because of this. If the Ming Dynasty didn’t sell these Europa people, they would sell them themselves!
