Chapter 988 Reshape the Daxia Navy
Zhang Liang replied: "The fundamental solution is to find like-minded people, form the third pole of the world with Daxia, and form a self-contained relationship to compete with the [Silver Hand] and the Academy."
If you want to be out of the mercy of others, you must break out of the rules of the game set by others for you.
"Okay." Ouyang Shuo's heart suddenly became bright and he handed the list to Zhang Liang, saying: "After going down, Zizheng Pavilion will study it carefully to see how to use this list to play a big game."
"clear!"
Zhang Liangzheng focused on the topic, and the opportunity for Zizheng Pavilion to show its strength has finally come.
…………
In the next few days, the world will be unstable.
On January 10, Gaia's fifth year, Gan Ning led the Royal Fleet to return to Beihai Port successfully. The first submarine of the Daxia Navy, the Black Shark, was also the one who came back with the fleet.
The next morning, Daxia finally made a new move.
On this day, Navy Governor Zheng He, Navy Minister and Principal of the Navy School, Lu Su, Chief of Staff of the Navy Command, Gan Ning, Royal Fleet Admiral Zhou Yu, Yashan Fleet Admiral Yu Dayou, Yizhou Fleet Admiral Shi Lang, Indian Ocean Fleet Admiral Fireworks Demon, Atlantic Fleet Admiral Alvaro, and Coastal Fleet Admiral Qi Jiguang, and the ten most core generals of the Daxia Navy gathered in Shanhaicheng.
After making the strategic choice of "ruling the outside but not the inside", Ouyang Shuo first needs to do is to completely reshape a key military force like the Navy, and work with the naval giants to formulate the Navy's development plan for the next three years to cooperate with the dynasty's overseas strategy.
Among the seven fleets, the Royal Fleet is the most special; the Coastal Fleet is formed the latest, and there are only two fleets so far, and it has not yet been fully organized; the other five fleets are all fully organized.
The first step to reshaping the navy is to adjust the architecture.
One of the biggest weaknesses of the Daxia Navy is that it focuses on the offshore and light on the ocean. Not to mention the Royal Fleet, the Southern Xinjiang Fleet, the Yashan Fleet, the Yizhou Fleet and the Coastal Fleet are all offshore fleets.
This may not be anything before, but when the dynasty’s strategic center of gravity shifted out and the domestic [Yanhuang Alliance] could not pose a fatal threat to the Daxia, it would be very redundant to arrange so many fleets near the sea.
Not only is wasted a lot of resources, it is also a huge burden on military spending.
The first thing to be adjusted is the Southern Xinjiang Fleet.
The predecessor of the Southern Xinjiang Fleet was the North Bay Fleet and the first navy fleet in Daxia. After its restructuring, it entered the inland and was headquartered in Poyang Lake in Jiangchuan Province.
Ouyang Shuo's original intention was to let the Southern Xinjiang fleet cooperate with the army's operations.
As the situation in the world gradually stabilizes, it is no longer necessary to arrange such a large fleet inland, and appropriate layoffs can be carried out.
As soon as the coastal fleet was not yet fully organized, Ouyang Shuo immediately decided to adjust the third, fourth and fifth formations of the Southern Xinjiang fleet to the coastal fleet. The future southern Xinjiang fleet will only retain the configuration of two formations.
It is very important for the Coastal Fleet to compete with the Handan Fleet and the Haizhou Fleet of the [Yanhuang League] in the northern waters to ensure the influence of the dynasty in the northern waters and to make it reach full corps as soon as possible.
This is one of them.
The Binhai Fleet is approaching Japan and will definitely play an important role in the national war. After Qi Jiguang, a famous anti-Japanese general, took office, the Binhai Fleet should be fully completed in time.
In addition to the abolition of troops, the Southern Xinjiang Fleet, as a pure inland naval division, was somewhat inappropriate to be assigned to the naval organization. This adjustment, the Southern Xinjiang Fleet was renamed the Southern Xinjiang Navy again, officially withdrew from the naval sequence, and was led by the Privy Council and the Military Affairs Office, and the treatment was in line with the army.
At the same time, the fleet admiral also adjusted.
The position of admiral of the Ganning Royal Fleet was removed from office and was transferred to the admiral of the Southern Xinjiang Navy. The position of admiral of the Southern Xinjiang Fleet was removed from office and was transferred to the admiral of the Royal Fleet's navy.
It means that Gan Ning and Zhou Yu completed a switch.
After the Southern Xinjiang Navy's abolition, its strategic position dropped sharply. Ouyang Shuo naturally would not let a famous general like Zhou Yu be buried, and it would be normal to transfer it into the Royal Fleet.
Moreover, choosing Gan Ning as the admiral of the Royal Fleet was a temporary solution.
...
The Yizhou fleet was adjusted.
The Yizhou fleet was renamed the Pacific Fleet and became the third ocean fleet of the Daxia Navy. In this way, among the four oceans, Daxia had an exclusive ocean fleet stationed.
The global layout is here to be implemented.
After the adjustment, except for the Royal Fleet, the jurisdictions of the other five fleets also became clear.
The Yashan Fleet led by Yu Dayou is mainly under the jurisdiction of the South China Sea, and the coastal fleet led by Qi Jiguang is based on the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea. Two offshore fleets jointly protect the local coastline of Daxia and safeguard the dynasty's offshore interests.
Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou, an old partner in the fight against Japanese devils, are one in the south and one in the north, and are a peerless hero.
The Atlantic Fleet led by the famous Spanish general Alvaro is headquartered in Morocco and its jurisdiction includes the Mediterranean Sea, the West Coast of the African continent and the East Coast of the American continent.
Just one Mediterranean is enough to have a headache in the summer. With the participation of Britain, the Netherlands, the United States and other countries, the Atlantic Fleet will be the most difficult among the six fleets.
Fortunately, the Spanish war god Alvaro was in charge, which made Ouyang Shuo feel much more at ease.
The Indian Ocean Fleet led by the fireworks monster is headquartered in Lion City, and its jurisdiction includes some ASEAN regions, the east coast of the African continent, and Oceania where Australia and New Zealand are located.
Therefore, the Atlantic Fleet will evacuate from the Gulf of Aden and hand over the defense zone to the Indian Ocean Fleet.
In addition to protecting strategic locations such as the Strait of Malacca, the Somalia Province and the Auckland region, the Indian Ocean fleet will inevitably collide with the Indian fleet in the future and compete for control of the Indian Ocean, which is also of great responsibility.
The legendary admiral who grew up in the fireworks demon, will also gain a broader platform.
Finally, there is the Pacific Fleet led by Shi Lang, whose headquarters is still in Yizhou County. In the future, Ouyang Shuo hopes that the Pacific Fleet can take over the Hawaiian Islands as a springboard.
It is best to establish a naval base on the American continent and complete the Pacific layout.
In addition to Japan to the north, the enemy of the Pacific Fleet was mainly the Dawson Dynasty, and also shouldered the important task of opening up trade routes between the dynasty and South America.
...
Clearly defining the jurisdiction of the five major fleets is only the first step. What is more important is to formulate different weapons and equipment development plans based on the differences between offshore fleets and ocean fleets.
With the application of "Magic Powered Submarine Manufacturing Technology", the Daxia Navy's equipment system covers warships, auxiliary ships, artillery, muskets, submarines, carrier-based aircraft, mines, etc., and has been basically improved.
However, the new round of system updates has greatly delayed the manufacturing speed of weapons and equipment. Even with the developed shipbuilding industry in Daxia and the military manufacturing industry, there must be a trade-off.
Ouyang Shuo’s strategy is very simple, which is to give priority to equip three ocean-going fleets to change their clothes. Moreover, this dressing change is not just as simple as replacing the main battleship.
"Within three years, the three ocean-going fleets will achieve a transformation and complete the transformation from cold weapons to hot weapons. All the soldiers on the ship will be transformed into musketeers or gunners, leaving no pure swords, shields or crossbowmen." Ouyang Shuo defined this meaningful dress-up.
Manufacturing muskets is still a difficult problem, and large-scale manufacturing is even more difficult.
It is estimated that in order to complete this major replacement, at least 500 Z1 warships, 30,000 Z1 guns, 20,000 Z2 guns and 200,000 muskets will be built.
For Daxia, where industry is underdeveloped, this is an unprecedented large order.
Gaia ended the auction tradition and sent a very obvious signal that Gaia would no longer use the auction to throw out the equipment manufacturing technical manual that exceeded the existing technology tree level.
The technology tree in the game world will no longer make any historic breakthroughs.
Specifically for the navy, sail warships have been the mainstream warships of various navies for a long time. Even if anyone develops an iron-clad ship driven by a steam engine, it is experimental and cannot be installed on a large scale.
Not to mention anything else, large-scale production is not allowed just because of manufacturing progress.
It was precisely based on this strategic prediction that Ouyang Shuo decided to change the three ocean lineups on a large scale. Otherwise, it would be difficult to replace them with Z1 warships and Gaia launched the ironclad ship again, which would be a cry.
Even so, some elastic space was reserved for this dressing change, which was not a 100% replacement at one time. The specific replacement plan was naturally formulated by the military department and the Navy Command, and Ouyang Shuo did not need to worry about it.
…………
By adjusting the structure, demarcating the jurisdiction, and formulating a fleet replacement plan, after these three steps, the construction of the Daxia Navy will be on the right track and become more scientific and reasonable.
But that's not enough.
After demarcating the jurisdiction, the first question for the ocean fleet is how to build three to five naval bases in key locations in the ocean to control the maritime power.
If there are ready-made ports, it would be great. If not, it would be a big problem to choose whether to rent a port or directly capture the country where the port is located.
This is a systematic project that requires three levels of the fleet, Navy Command and Military Affairs Office to cooperate with each other to formulate a detailed expansion plan and timetable.
It also involves the intelligence network of the Black Snake Guard, the staff of the Zizheng Pavilion and the allocation of the cabinet. The list provided by Mr. Chen can also play a role in it.
There are complexities in the middle.
Ouyang Shuo was not a harsh "boss". His order to the naval admiral of the three ocean-going fleets was to complete the preparation of this naval base construction plan before the Lantern Festival.
How to coordinate various departments is the matter of the three admirals.
The fleet's dressing plan involves changes in the military system, and then involves the reshaping of the entire fleet. It is impossible to use the architecture of the Cold Weapon Age to directly fit the hot weapons era.
The organization and reshaping must also be adjusted accordingly.
The question is, in the face of such a big adjustment, can the navy soldiers take this turn? Do they need to organize formal training?
