Chapter 415 Test Content

"Brother, you don't need to panic. The two chiefs just want to see what you are capable of and won't embarrass you." Luo Shengdong looked complacent and greeted Wu Sen, who was slightly absent-minded.

The military has put some thought into how to evaluate the professional skills of Wu Sen, a demoted general. For the warships currently in service in the Navy, all actions on board are in accordance with the standards set by a bunch of old seals at the Navy Command.

According to the operating procedures, an outsider like Wu Sen has no way to start after boarding the ship. Let alone temporarily giving the ship to his command, I am afraid it will be a bit difficult for him to be a deck sailor on the ship - the sail rope system on this ship

Although it seems to have a simple structure, getting familiar with its operation is not something that can be done in a short time.

As for the combat system and steering wheel system that are linked to the lower deck, you have to train on a warship for a period of time before you can master the operating rules. Wu Sen, a layman, can't understand it even more. In short, if you want to test Wu Sen's sailing,

The command skills are definitely not suitable for the navy's warships, and Wang Tom believes that even if Wu Sen can be absorbed into the navy, it will not be possible to give him command of a certain warship in a short period of time.

Therefore, the focus of the assessment was placed on Wu Sen's other navigation skills, such as intuitive judgment of external conditions such as sea conditions, wind speed, wind direction, heading, sailing speed, etc. These are the basic qualities that a naval commander must possess.

However, most of the current grassroots soldiers in the navy do not have such abilities. It is precisely because of this that Wu Sen's former naval officer status has received sufficient attention from relevant departments.

In this process, Luo Shengdong has undoubtedly become a good reference standard. In terms of professional skills, Luo Shengdong is still a relatively competent naval officer, and he is worthy of the position of general under him. Since the year before last,

After taking over the private salt trafficking business from Haihan, the ship Luo Shengdong was responsible for never had any problems during the voyage, and his sailing skills were even better than those of some halfway renounced time traveler captains under the Ministry of Shipping.

.

After the warship sailed out of Victory Harbor, it headed south. Wang Tom personally commanded the warship, constantly issuing instructions and correcting its course during the journey. Luo Shengdong and Wu Sen had to judge the speed and course on their own during the march.

And draw a rough route map. Although this assessment method does not involve the operation and command of the ship, it is quite difficult. Even an experienced sea dog like Wang Tom cannot guarantee that he can be completely accurate.

Draw a travel route.

With Luo Shengdong as a reference, it is easier to judge Wu Sen's actual level. Luo Shengdong's actual performance is indeed slightly better, and his accuracy in judging various external conditions is better than Wu Sen's, but Wang

Both Tom and Sun Changmi believed that this was a home field advantage. After all, he had been in this area for many years, and Luo Shengdong had been on the Haihan warship many times and had a certain understanding of the operations on the ship. If

If the assessment location is changed to near the Annan coast and the ship is replaced by an ordinary sailing ship, the results will probably be reversed. And if measured against the average level of current navy commanders, Wu Sen's performance is actually

He has surpassed most junior officers in active service in the Navy, and is basically enough to be the second-in-command first mate.

By noon that day, the ship had sailed into the open sea, and the cliffs of Hutou Ridge outside Victory Port could no longer be seen with the naked eye. Wu Sen had already noticed after leaving the port that the speed of the Haihan warship was far beyond that of traditional sailing ships. On average,

The traveling speed is at least twice as bad, which must be related to the strange sail system and the long and narrow shape of the ship. In addition to the fast speed of the ship, the steering is also very flexible. It is often the order from Wang Tom that has just been issued.

Wu Sen could feel the tilt change of the ship's hull. Wu Sen noticed that the direction of the ship seemed to be operated by a wooden wheel with a diameter of more than two feet. It seemed very easy, and the ship could be changed with just a flick of the wheel.

The direction is truly amazing.

But the instructions given by Tom Wang made Wu Sen confused and couldn't understand them at all. Wu Sen didn't know what they meant. At this point, Luo Shengdong had the ability to

With this obvious advantage, he became interested in this when he was aboard the Haihan warship. He also specifically asked Wang Tom and others to find out what this command command meant, so that he could

According to the order issued by Wang Tom, we will help determine the ship's navigation route.

The first stage of the assessment came to an end at noon. Wang Tom ordered to slow down the speed, put down the meal, and casually took advantage of this time to summarize the morning's test results alone with Sun Changmi.

Wu Sen also witnessed the "luxurious" side of the Haihan Legion here, because the food on this ship was actually much better than what he had eaten in the past few days. Everyone's rice bowl included meat based on seafood.

, and Wu Sen could tell that some kind or several spices were added to it, as well as stir-fried fresh vegetables, and there was even a piece of fruit for each person after the meal. Wu Sen felt that if this meal was placed in the scenery of Victory Port

There are too many avenues, I dare not say, but I definitely need two-yuan circulation coupons. There are at least sixty or seventy people on this ship, including sailors and soldiers, and they have to eat dozens of taels of silver for a daily meal. It's not like he used to

The South Vietnamese navy he led had less than five taels of silver per person per month for food. Compared with the Haihan navy, the food standard was completely different. It is no wonder that their performance in the war was so poor.

Seeing Luo Shengdong sitting next to him with a big bowl and eating vigorously, Wu Sen couldn't help but ask: "Brother Luo, is the Haihan Navy's food like this every day, or is it because of the arrival of the two chiefs today?

Did you just add extra food?"

Luo Shengdong wiped his mouth and said, "How can this happen every day? Brother Wu, don't think too much about it."

Just as Wu Sen breathed a sigh of relief, he heard Luo Shengdong continue: "This is just the usual training meal. It is said that the food is better than the usual food during the war. It's a pity that my status is special and I can't go to war with the navy.

I haven’t seen what the wartime meals here in the Navy are like.”

Wu Sen had a look of disbelief: "Brother Luo, don't be fooled. I'm just here. I'm not familiar with the situation of the navy. This navy consumes a lot of money, and I know it. I heard that each Haihan warship costs tens of thousands of currency notes. Normally,

Even if there is no war, we have to support these sailors and crews. How can we not control the cost of food and drink?"

"Control?" Luo Shengdong tapped the edge of the bowl with his chopsticks and said, "This is already the result of control. How rich the Haihan Militia is, you don't even know it now, if it weren't for the

I can't get out of this official skin for the time being, maybe I, Luo Shengdong, would have joined Haihan long ago!"

While the two were chatting, a sailor on the ship came over holding a glass jar about one foot high: "Master Luo, Master Wu, this is the new kimchi from the logistics department. Our boss, Sun, also asked you to comment on it."

!”

Wu Sen was so frightened that he almost dropped his rice bowl - not because of the special care given by Sun Changmi. After all, kimchi was not worth much. What surprised him was that the Haihan people were so extravagant that they used glass jars to store the kimchi.

Worthless stuff.

Luo Shengdong didn't take it seriously, thanked him and took it, opened the lid and put a few pieces into Wu Sen's bowl, and then added a few pieces to himself.

Wu Sen couldn't help but ask: "It's just pickles, but it's packed in such a precious vessel. Wouldn't it be a pity if the ship was bumpy and broke?"

Luo Shengdong smiled and said: "In your Annan country, this kind of glassware must be very expensive, right?"

"Although the workmanship of this glass jar is a bit rough, but this size, it costs at least fifty taels of silver!" Wu Sen didn't seem to hear the teasing tone in Luo Shengdong's tone, and replied seriously: "In the next month

The salary is only enough to buy a glass bowl made by Haihan, and it is definitely not enough to buy such a big jar."

"Only people outside will regard this thing as a treasure!" Luo Shengdong commented with a proud face. He was relatively familiar with Haihan's production of glassware, and he also knew that it was not difficult to produce this thing.

, and the cost is frighteningly low. There is a glass workshop in the mountain col not far from the Victory Port Military Camp. Luo Shengdong was lucky enough to visit it once. He was very impressed by the glass slag piled up like a hill outside the workshop. Schneider was once very proud.

He told him that Haihan has two products that can expand its production capacity almost infinitely, one is salt, and the other is glass products. And these two products have become invincible knocking hammers, and no businessman anywhere will

They were denied entry, even to South Vietnam, which had been at war with Hai Han.

Wu Sen, of course, felt Luo Shengdong's look at him like a countryman at this time, and he immediately defended: "I just think it's not worth it. This kimchi can be packed in an earthen pot!"

"Inside Haihan, this glass jar is no more valuable than an earthen jar, and the advantage of using a glass jar is that you can see whether the kimchi inside has any signs of damage without opening it." Luo Shengdong pointed to the nail plate.

: "The light in the cabin below is not strong. If you use an earthen jar, it will be difficult to see clearly what is going on in the jar. It is much more convenient to use this glass jar."

"Is this why the Haihan people use glass jars to store kimchi?" Although Luo Shengdong's explanation sounds a bit bizarre, it seems to be reasonable.

"Yeah, that's why it sounds so fucked up. Not only pickles, you will have the opportunity to go to the ship's kitchen in the future. There are many things served in glassware." Luo Shengdong smiled and said: "This ship

The glass jars and jars they contain are worth at least a thousand taels of silver according to the market price, but what can be done? Mr. Shi, who is in charge of money, said, if you have money, you will be willful, and if you have money, you will be willful!"

Wu Sen could only feel speechless at such an argument, and could not even express his dissatisfaction. The wealth of the Haihan people was not only reflected in the fact that they could equip their army with the best weapons, but even in the invisible corners of the ship.

The Haihan people were not stingy about using the best of the things used on board. This was no longer the luxury he thought at first, but the meticulous work the Haihan people had done to improve the combat effectiveness of the people on board. These are hidden in

The pots and pans in the cabin will never appear in the course of the war, but they are truly part of the combat effectiveness of the Hai Han Navy. Even in these most basic details, the former South Vietnamese Navy was far behind its opponents.

On the one hand, Wu Sen felt sad for his old employer. Even if the South Vietnamese Navy was several times stronger, it would be difficult to take advantage of opponents like the Haihan Navy. On the other hand, as his new employer, Wu Sen

Sen felt that his future future seemed to be a little brighter. After all, such a powerful water force was almost invincible within Wu Sen's knowledge - except for a certain pirate force that was said to be far away in Fujian.

, but such a distance is not enough to pose a substantial threat to the current Haihan forces.

The Ruan brothers hurriedly came out of the cabin at this time, with unconcealed joy on their faces. They walked closer and bowed their hands to Wu Sen: "Congratulations, Brother Wu!"

Wu Sen quickly stood up and responded: "Where does my happiness come from?"

Ruan Jinggui said: "Just now, General Wang and Mr. Sun called us two brothers in and carefully inquired about Brother Wu's family background. General Wang even recorded it in his own hand... Brother Wu, it seems that General Wang intends to re-employ you!"

"

Ruan Wenwen also continued excitedly: "I was listening to the two chiefs talking about your performance this morning. The evaluation was very good. It seems that you will pass the test with no problem!"

"It's too early to discuss the results at this time. It would be unpleasant if the leaders knew about it." Wu Sen was naturally very happy after hearing these words, but he still tried his best to control his emotions and responded calmly.

"Not so fast." Luo Shengdong next to him put down his empty bowl, wiped his mouth, and poured cold water on the three Annan surrenders without haste: "Even if you pass the skills assessment and political review,

You won't be able to get appointed so quickly. You must at least go to the Port of Victory Military Academy to receive military training for two or three months before you can join the job."

Wu Sen doesn't quite understand what "political review" is, but the meaning of Luo Shengdong's words is very clear - he wants to directly enter the navy, which is not something that can be achieved immediately, and must go through a period of time first.

Just training.

Wu Sen immediately bowed to Luo Shengdong and said, "It seems that Brother Luo knows a lot about this. Please give me some advice."

Luo Shengdong said: "I can't give you any advice, but I can give you a rough idea of ​​what I know. The rules of the Haihan militia are different from those of the Ming Dynasty, and they are definitely even worse than those of your Annan army. I heard that your soldiers there

They are all civilians who were temporarily arrested from the local area before the war...I digressed from the topic, let's talk about business..."

Luo Shengdong has spent more and more time in Shengli Port in the past two years, and his understanding of all aspects of the Haihan social system has become more and more in-depth. Although he seems to have no hope of joining the Haihan Militia so far,

This does not prevent him from collecting information about the Haihan militia through various channels in private. This is not that Luo Shengdong plans to engage in espionage activities. He is now determined to follow Haihan to the end. The military attache of the Ming Dynasty

If the Executive Committee needs him to hold the position, he will continue to hold it. If the Executive Committee notifies him to step down from this position one day, he will probably immediately submit a medical discharge application report to the court. The reason for collecting information about the militia is that

Because of his status as a soldier, he will always be more concerned about these things. Secondly, he also thinks that if he really changes his family one day, he can be prepared early.

After competing with Wu Sen in the morning, Luo Shengdong also discovered that this guy actually has some real abilities, and he is also a knowledgeable person who can read the atmosphere and will not offend others. Therefore, Luo Shengdong treated him less

A bit of hostility. Of course, the condescending mentality of city people looking at country people is still inevitable. For example, when introducing Haihan's military training system to them now, it is inevitable to have a somewhat boastful tone, which is quite a bit like a royal wife.

The meaning of selling melons and boasting is that although he still has the official status of the Ming Dynasty, he is not even a naturalized citizen of Haihan.

With the separation of the Haihan Militia, the army and the navy, the original military academy was divided into different professional subjects. Of course, part of the training content is the same, such as military discipline, obedience training to military orders, and some physical fitness

The training content is the same as land and sea, and it is the first compulsory subject. Only after completing this type of training content will you enter the training of professional subjects.

Luo Shengdong himself was a naval officer, so he was more interested in the training content of the navy and understood it in more detail. Based on what he saw on the ship, he gave Wu Sen a general introduction to the training of the Haihan Navy, from scrubbing the deck to

, starting from sorting out the sail ropes, and training the crew's combat skills at sea step by step. After mastering the professional skills of the crew, more detailed and high-end training courses for commanders will be carried out. This part involves some skills that are exclusively mastered by Haihan people.

As for navigation skills, even if Luo Shengdong had a good relationship with the Haihan people, he had never entered a military school classroom to systematically learn the relevant knowledge. After all, these advanced knowledge could only be passed on to the naturalized civilian officers who would fight for the Haihan people in the future.

"I have heard General Wang say before that he has sailed on five continents and four oceans, and has been to almost all continental coasts in the world. The mission of the Haihan Navy is to conquer these places in the future and bring all the places that the navy can reach.

All places will become territory managed by the executive committee!" Luo Shengdong said this, with a trace of longing in his eyes: "What a magnificent undertaking this will be!"

"Then the Executive Committee will definitely establish a country by then!" When Wu Sen heard what Luo Shengdong said, his first reaction was to think about how the Executive Committee would manage overseas territories in the future.

"Establishing a country?" Luo Shengdong smiled and said: "There are no outsiders here, and I am not afraid to speak plainly. If the executive committee wanted to establish a country, it could have established it last year. In Yazhou, a place with high mountains and far away from the emperor, there is no one

No one can take care of it. The Executive Committee really wants to establish a Haihan Kingdom. It will take at least a year and a half before the court receives the news. By the time there is any reaction, another year and a half will pass.

When the time comes, it’s hard to say whether Qiongzhou Island will belong to the Ming Dynasty or the Han Dynasty!"
