Chapter 178 The Special Jacket of the Navy
Chapter 178 The special jacket of the navy
The mornings at Partridge Bay are always very quiet.
But today, the tranquility here was broken. Early in the morning, the waves in Partridge Bay kept surging. The waves kept rolling. Circles of ripples continued to ripple and disappeared on the shore. The seagulls kept flying on the sea surface, as if they were about to get close to the shore, but they did not dare to get close. There were only one or two who were extremely brave, and had the courage to stay on the mast for a moment, and then flew away in a hurry.
A pirate ship, two pig-bearded boats, were moored in the port, and the sails were rolled up, leaving only bare masts. The sailors were busy on the deck. The sailors in short coats of different colors were busy, walking around and intersecting each other. Although it looked very chaotic, they were actually orderly. As long as the bystanders were staring at one of the colors, they would find that what he did was completely different from what the sailors of other colors did.
These short jackets of different colors were of course a new invention by Zhang Zhun. When the navy was established, these short jackets were fully promoted. Yang Guohua, Zhou Zhengyu and others thought it was a bit strange at the time. Is it necessary for different sailors to wear short jackets of different colors? Later I found that this was necessary. After distinguishing them with different colors, they looked at the sailors' respective affairs more organized.
According to the regulations formulated by Zhang Zhun, the short jacket of the helmsman is yellow, the short jacket of the sailor is gray-white, the short jacket of the armed sailor is red, the short jacket of the rigging hand is black, the short jacket of the commander is purple, and the short jacket of the lookout whistle is blue. These colors are clear at a glance compared to the blue background of the sea. Even in the most intense battles and the most chaotic scenes, the other party's identity can be quickly distinguished.
Especially in large-scale naval battles, there are many ships and sailors participating, which may be quite chaotic. Sometimes, officers may be temporarily assigned to other warships and are not familiar with the sailors on the ship. In this way, officers are not familiar with the positions of each sailor and find it difficult to command quickly and effectively. With these different colors, you can know who they should look for at a glance. No matter from which perspective, this is the simplest and fastest way to identify.
At the same time, the color of the short jacket also allows every commander to discover whether the sailors are "not doing their jobs" at the first time. Well, it must be admitted that there are indeed many ways to be lazy on the warship. There are only twenty or thirty sailors in the small boat, and the commander can also check everyone's work. However, there may be hundreds of sailors on a large warship. Each commander, if you glance at it, you may not be able to find out whether someone is doing what you should do. In other words, even if someone is lazy or a slutty worker, you cannot find out. But now, if you glance at it, you can find out whether the sailors of a certain color are not doing their jobs.
For example, you are wearing a short red jacket, but you run to the mast. What are you doing on it? See the scenery? Come down! For example, you are wearing a short gray jacket, but you are rubbing on the deck. You are wearing a short gray jacket, but you are rubbing on the deck. You are wearing a short gray jacket, and you are all on the mast! If you are not wearing a yellow jacket, don’t wander around the steering wheel. This is not your territory! If you are not in a red jacket, don’t move the weapons on the ship. If there is any problem, you are responsible! If you are not in a black jacket, don’t move the rigging on the ship. This is not what you should move!
Since these short jackets were worn, each commander has become a sharp eye. The sailors also feel the pressure deeply. It seems that there are sharp eyes behind them at all times, staring at them all the time. As long as their behavior deviates slightly from the color of their jackets, they will be discovered by the officers immediately.
"My sir still has many ideas!"
Zhou Zhengyu said with emotion.
With these jackets, he immediately felt the benefits. It turned out that after some work was ordered, it would take almost half a day to complete. But now, it can be completed in just about an hour. The reason is very simple. No one dares to be lazy. Even if someone is lazy, they will be discovered immediately and dealt with immediately.
"I wonder what new things will be brought to us today?"
Yang Guohua also said with emotion.
At this moment, he and Zhou Zhengyu were standing at the entrance of Partridge Bay, waiting for Zhang Zhun to arrive. According to the notice above, today, Zhang Zhun was going to the naval base to teach all the naval officers. At the same time, he had to inspect the training of grassroots sailors. Since the establishment of the naval army, Zhang Zhun has been very tightly in the training of the naval army, and neither of them dared to take it lightly. Zhang Zhun invested a lot of money in the naval army, and then he had to invest a lot of money. It is conceivable that if the results are not satisfied, what will happen to them both.
Around the Si hour, Zhang Zhun rode his horse and arrived on time, followed by Yang Weiguo, Liu Jixiang and others. Among his entourage, there was another familiar figure, which was Xue Zhidie. He was familiar with Xue Zhidie and the officers of the navy. Since the pirate ship was captured by Zhang Zhun, Xue Zhidie often appeared in Queqiao Bay. Many people know that she knew how to build ships. In the future, she should be responsible for the construction of the warships needed by the navy.
Before Zhang Zhun arrived, all the officers of the navy, including Fang He, Liu Dong and others, were ready. Everything in Partridge Bay was very simple, and even the barracks of the navy were just thatched huts. Their current location was a large thatched hut. There were no walls facing the sea, and you could see the vast Mawan.
"Let's start!"
Zhang Zhun had no intention of being polite and said casually.
He wants to first look at the basic training level of sailors.
"start!"
Zhou Zhengyu waved the pennant.
For the navy, the first thing to practice is water. Only by being familiar with water can you not be afraid of the sea. It can be imagined that how can a person who does not understand water become a navy. The biggest problem with the navy of Fushansou is that there are too many land ducks. The soldiers drawn from the guards are basically land ducks. The navy must strive to turn these land ducks into water dragons before winter comes.
For Zhang Zhun, this task was not very difficult. In the past, Zhang Zhun did such a job. As a non-commissioned officer, he was originally a specialist in training soldiers. Many new soldiers who came to the Marine Corps actually didn't know how to swim. However, under Zhang Zhun, the land duck turned into a water duck in less than three days. To put it bluntly, it was very simple, that was, it was cruel enough. I made up my mind, threw them into the water, choked on a few sips of water, and naturally I learned it.
So, those soldiers who have just joined the navy receive this kind of training. Veterans throw new recruits into the sea and keep flapping. As long as they don’t drown, they will never reach out. When the salty and bitter sea water is almost gone, your stomach is bulging, and you will almost get rid of your fear of the sea. Then give some advice for a while, and you will slowly learn to flap in the water.
Secondly, you must be familiar with the bumpy operation.
As a navy, you have to deal with the bumps, shaking, sharp turns, or even height tilts of the ship. The minimum requirement is to walk shaking on the deck, just like walking on the flat ground, and the cup in your hand cannot shake out water. If you vomit, you are still a rookie and you must continue to train. The best way to prevent vomiting is to stand upside down frequently. Every morning, afternoon and evening, stand up thirty times, each for five minutes, and last for one month, you won’t vomit.
The sea surface of Mawan is quite calm and warships cannot shake. But it doesn't matter, there are other training methods to replace it. The training method provided by Zhang Zhun is very simple, which is to constantly step on logs on the water surface. Logs floating on the water surface are very difficult to control, and they will drift towards the direction of the sea. People stand on the top and have to hold on for two hours without falling down before they pass. When the logs are stepped on and will not fall down, it means that they have a certain degree of immunity to bumps and shaking.
However, this is not enough. You also need to exercise diving, swimming, climbing, jumping, drilling holes, knots, cables and other aspects. Don’t look at a pirate ship that is very small and has a displacement of only a few dozen tons. In fact, although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs, and it involves a lot of professional knowledge. If you are not a professional naval personnel, you will not understand the mystery at all.
For example, knotting is a technical job. There are strict requirements for knotting rigging. There are clear regulations on what kind of rope and what kind of knot to be tied. If the knot is tied wrongly, or if it is not tied well or not in place, the rigging cannot be fixed. If the knot and the dead knot are made wrong, it is even more troublesome. If the knot needs to be tied into a dead knot, when it needs to be untied, the only way is to use an axe. What? Manual untied? Do you think riggings that are thick on your arms can be untied manually? Similarly, if the knot needs to be tied into a dead knot, it will kill people at all times.
For example, cables and cables are also technical jobs. There are clear regulations on which rope should be pulled in which direction. If they are pulled incorrectly, the effect will be counterproductive. This is especially important when raising the sail. Because when raising the sail, pulling the wrong rig will cause the ship to lose control, and even overturn the sailboat is not a small number of examples.
Zhang Zhun has formulated a very detailed training plan for these professional knowledge of the Navy. As long as these plans are implemented step by step, half a year later, a group of relatively elite naval soldiers can form a prototype. These plans are much more accurate than Yang Guohua's experience and the effect is much better. After all, it is the result condensed by later generations who have summarized the experience of countless predecessors. Now Zhang Zhun is completely standing on the shoulders of historical giants to see the world.
In short, the construction of the navy is very different from that of the infantry. Zhang Zhun used to be a non-commissioned officer in the Marine Corps. He often fought with the navy and had some understanding of the navy. Therefore, he proposed these advanced concepts. However, he understood whether he could absorb all the soldiers and transform them into his own abilities. There was a key transformation link in the process. This process took a lot of time and took a lot of effort, and it was impossible to achieve it overnight.
Generally speaking, three months can make a farmer a qualified rifleman, but three months can't make a farmer a qualified sailor. Even one year may not be enough. The commander of the army can basically go to the battlefield after one or two years of education. The commander of the navy is not good. Compared with the army, the knowledge that naval officers need to master is really a bit too much. A first mate in later generations would be difficult to be competent if he did not have ten years of navigation experience. Ten years of army and a hundred years of naval force is definitely not a joke. Every naval power in later generations has accumulated hundreds of years of experience. The pla navy is strong and still has a long distance.
After observing for half an hour, Zhang Zhun was quite satisfied with the training results of the naval soldiers. Basically, the water-based level has passed. Next, it should focus on training their ability to resist bumps. According to Zhang Zhun's design, this process should be about one month. He is preparing to check again in September.
Then, Zhang Zhun began to teach the officers.
Before class, Zhang Zhun first handwritten a thick handwritten book to Yang Guohua, Zhou Zhengyu, Fang He and Liu Dong. Of course, Xue Zhidie had already obtained it early in the morning. The width of this book is equivalent to an abacus, and even a little larger than the abacus. The book is packed with thread and is filled with a rich ink fragrance. The name of the book is called "Basic Common Knowledge of Navigation".
This book was written by Zhang Zhun orally and Xue Ningying for a long time. In the middle, it was revised, added, and deleted many times. Because the work of editing books was too difficult, even Zhang Zhun was a little overwhelmed. On the contrary, the little girl was very motivated. Nothing else, this was the first book compiled by the little girl, so she naturally had to work extra hard.
Each book of "Basic Common Knowledge of Navigation" comes with a large map. This map is larger than the common Eight Immortals Table. This map is the world map of later generations. Of course, the annotations on the map are copied based on Zhang Zhun's own memory. Some places cannot be too accurate. However, compared with any map of this era, they must be countless times more accurate.
“This is our world.”
Zhang Zhun said with a secret mountain.
Chapter completed!
