The weapon tycoon who traveled to Daqin

On the south side of the river at night, a group of naked Chu State sailors stood by the river

"Everyone is a good man of our Chu State Navy, and tonight is the day to defeat the children of the Qin State Navy."

"It's okay, don't say anything," said the commander, took a bowl of dirty wine and drank it in one gulp, and the other sailors did the same thing, and then they clasped their fists and went into the water one after another.

Everyone in the water army knows how to water, but the quality of the water varies greatly. The water army of the state of Chu comes from local fishermen.

In Shangwen's view, these water-savvy sailors are simply underwater frogmen for special operations, but the specific combat methods are unknown.

Shangwen’s understanding of the navy is only from written reports. He has never seen the actual ones, but he is curious whether it is really possible to dive for such a long time without any breathing equipment. Shangwen raised his own doubts.

Now Shangwen will learn in the future Shangwen report that this is real

These sailors are all water-based masters, some of them can hide underwater for a long time Not an advantage for sailors

Night provides excellent cover, night vision is limited and you can't put barbed wire in the water like the army can't put mines in the water like land

A sailor from the State of Qin is wearing a navy uniform

Soldiers hold bayonet-mounted rifles and think back and forth. In the military port, there are only commanding heights and a little light. There are lights on ships. The rest of the place is basically a dark place.

Two large iron chains are installed at the entrance and exit. These are specially used to intercept large ships. The small boats are generally not used. The grassroots officers of the naval base have suggested not to use this kind of iron chains, but no one noticed the above. This is the number of ships.

In the water below the sailors, nearly 200 soldiers of the Chu State Navy pushed their small boats across the river quietly. The small boats carried earth-burning bombs developed by Chu State. The bombs were placed in the wine jar. The wine is tung oil. These tung oils are easier to ignite than the gasoline made in Qin State. Put a package of explosives in the tung oil. The fuse is placed in a small hole outside the sealing mud to reserve a place.

Reproduced general wine jars can completely float on the water

They quietly entered the Qinhuangdao port, and the soldiers of the Chu State Navy took the wine jars connected by ropes from the boat, and then they dragged the wine jars away in groups.

After approaching with good water quality, the Chu State navy looked for a place to climb, quietly entered the ship, and put the wine jars into the Qin State ship one by one.

Qin's sailors are too loose. There are only a few personnel on duty in the ship, and almost all of these personnel deserted. They handed over the defense to the coastal defense artillery. The protection of the ship is too lax.

Chu's navy didn't know who would have thought of using incense sticks as a timer. During the investigation afterwards, Qin Jun suspected that Chu had a special kind of timer. This kind of timer was comparable to the clocks produced by Qin. Qin doubted it. There is a reason, the famous carpenter Lu Ban is from Chu, so there may be a special timing device

Experts' ideas come with significant limitations

After the placement, these water-savvy people evacuated the ship and waited for the explosion to sound. In order to prevent enemy damage and accidents, the timing device set up five or more

The bomb finally exploded when some of the team members converged

At the moment of the explosion, high temperature and high pressure were generated, and the tung oil ignited splashed around the surrounding wooden ship cabins, followed by continuous explosions. The explosions ignited other wine jars and sawdust flew out of the ship with flames, and the whole ship ignited its fire.

One exploded, followed by the second. This is currently the only cruiser of the Qin State Navy. After the explosion, the ammunition was accidentally ignited. The second explosion completely destroyed one side of the cruiser. The flying sawdust fell to the river with burning sails.

All the sailors were stunned. They didn't know what happened. The ships exploded, one after another. In a blink of an eye, several large ships of Qin State exploded one after another, and the tung oil ignited the wooden ships. In the military port, except for a few ships that were still under construction All but the rest of the large ship was on fire and turned into a pile of burning wood on the water

The Chu State Navy danced happily, and when the water army soldiers returned, they saw it as a huge victory The National Navy made fun of the Qin Navy as a joke

But the fire was still raging inside the Qin State Naval Base. The fire did not go out until noon the next day. The Qin State Navy did not go to put out the fire and could not save it.

Afterwards, the highest officer of the naval base shot himself and ended his life. The navy's only surface force was wiped out, and the only few large ships were all turned into ashes. The loss was extremely heavy.

This time, the Chu State Navy temporarily controlled part of the waters of the Yangtze River, because the Qin Coast Defense Artillery was able to blockade some of the waters, which caused certain losses to the Chu State Navy.

"Navy Disaster", "Navy Annihilation", "Navy Commander's Suicide", a lot of newspapers reported on this incident, the occurrence of this incident led to the peak of Qin's domestic distrust of the navy, and people doubt whether the Qin Navy has combat capability.

"We should suggest to the prime minister to cancel the navy as a military branch and set up a navy or simply attach to the army to form an army surface force," a newspaper joked.

"Our navy has obviously learned how to use warships to catch fish." The blame on the navy continues

"Is the loss of personnel large?" Shangwen asked the specific situation on the phone

"It's not very big, the main reason is that the navy doesn't have a large warship, and the navy has no meaning without ships," Wang Jian said on the phone.

"The navy was not built in a day," Shang Wen said tolerantly

"The navy must be built. We have the determination. This determination has never been lost." Shang Wen paused.

"We're going to give the navy another chance and I believe in them," Shangwen said on the phone.

Then Shang Wen called the King of Qin and asked for a chance to give the navy not to revoke the navy's service, and he was willing to take responsibility for the navy. The impact of this incident will try to eliminate the negative impact.

Then Shangwen held a press conference to comment on the matter

"Recently, everyone also knows what happened in the naval base. All the large ships of our navy were successfully attacked by the Chu State Navy and the entire army was wiped out." Shang Wen said slowly, and the corner of the naval officer's mouth twitched.

"But what I'm asking is why do we have a navy and what are we building a navy for"

"In this world, we have conquered the land and the sky is full of airplanes and airships. The sky is also under our control. The eagle in the sky has given way to us as the supremacy of the sky. So is the world just land and sky?"

"There is still the ocean The ocean does not yet have our military power and the resources overseas are not yet widely used We build shipyards for what purpose is to conquer the ocean one day"

"Qin is a land country. The ocean is very strange to us. Many of us have never seen the ocean. Is it because we haven't seen the ocean that we give up on ourselves?"

"No at least I don't want to give up." Shang Wen said that everyone was overwhelmed by Shang Wen's feelings. This young man with a delicate physique showed Qin's determination to conquer the ocean with his determination.

"I hope that at the end of my political career our children and grandchildren will be able to see the sea and then our children and grandchildren will say to our generation"

"Father, is this the sea?"

"I will answer that we have ships that can sail on the sea and overseas, and there is a wonderful world waiting for us"

"The children will have an ocean dream, that's our hope," Shang Wen said, and everyone in the venue was silent

"Wooden boats burned very well. He made us see clearly that wood is not a good material for boatbuilding. Since wood is not good, then we build steel boats so that they can't be burned. We use our steel to teach them a lesson, and then we rushed out of the Yangtze River. Pass down a marine dream to future generations”

"In the end, I hope we can forgive the navy for its success without failure. We are giving the navy a chance. Thank you," Shangwen concluded his speech.

"Huh, huh, huh, huh!" Afterwards, people burst into warm applause. The applause represented the rise of Qin's navy again.

It was not until this moment that Qin State had a navy dream, and the ocean was awakened. Although Qin State lost a batch of ships, its consciousness was awakened. Is this a success or a failure?

626 Naval Aviation

The morale of the navy has been solved, but how the navy will fight has not yet been solved. The bad thing is that the navy does not have a single ship to fight.

Qin State formally declared war on Chu State, but Qin State issued another statement out of moral considerations, the war was limited to the Yangtze River waterway and the [-]-mile range on both sides of the land, and the land situation remained the same. This is a strange war.

After the announcement of the declaration of war, the Ministry of the Navy of Qin Guowei's Mansion officially announced that it would issue a naval shipbuilding plan to private shipyards, with a total value of more than 200 million gold ships and 100 million new technologies and weapons.

As a result, Qin State's private shipyard received a large military purchase order before it even built a factory. This large military order greatly stimulated the huge development of Qin State's shipbuilding industry.

Since it is in the stage of war, especially the surface war, I only said news that can probably boost confidence. The specific content will be distributed to each newly established shipyard in the form of top-secret documents. Place an order now

Qin Haijun first invited bids for a fast gunboat with a crew of ten to 15 people

All of them are made of steel. Considering the technical issues, the bidding document has been revised and changed to partially use wood.
