Guo Dajing knew what he was doing, smiled and said, "Leave water transportation to others in the future, and you and I will focus on developing the navy."
Zhang Tao smiled, cheered up, and said: "The general is waiting for Guo Shuai to speak, so that he can put aside these complicated matters and concentrate on the navy."
How could he be willing to be a transportation officer when he had his heart set on the sea? The huge ships were parked in Dalian and Lushun, as well as in the sea, and Zhang Tao no longer wanted to wander around the inland rivers.
Guo Dajing took out some pieces of paper, handed them to Zhang Tao, and said slowly: "This is the navy's five-year plan. Let's strive to complete it."
Zhang Tao took it and looked at it, with a happy face on his face, and said: "In five years, we will strive to build a hundred giant ships and carry more than a thousand guns. This should be able to dominate the South China Sea, right?"
In terms of quantity, it is obviously not as good as the thousands of ships of the Zheng family. But in terms of quality and the number of artillery, it is even better.
The key is that the giant ships and cannons adapt to the trend of world naval development, and the maritime tactics must be far ahead of the Zheng family.
Each warship carries at least twenty guns, and some can carry as many as thirty or forty guns. This one is equivalent to ten or twenty sea-going ships of the Zheng family.
"We should be able to fight with the Zheng family, but compared with the regular navy of the Western Yi countries, it is still far behind." The red-haired Yi's goal is very far-reaching. Of course, it is to be able to take the Zheng family as the ultimate goal.
However, weak undersea countries such as the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and even Spain are powerful. Even if they double their main battleships, they will still be their opponents.
Therefore, the Hongmao Yi wanted to retrofit the Hongyi cannon, shorten the barrel, and increase the caliber, so that the power of the shells would be slightly increased, while the weight of the artillery could be reduced.
With such strength, Guo Dajing is still not confident in defeating the Zheng family. What's more, seven years is just an expectation, and striving for completion is not guaranteed.
Of course, those Western countries are busy digging for gold and silver in South America, so it is very likely that they will send too few warships to Asia.
Instead of a seven-year plan, there is a ten-year plan, or even a century-old plan. The small seas that the red-haired barbarians focus on are only the East China Sea and the South China Sea. I still want to rush out of Asia and compete with the weak under the sea.
Even if their own business is hugely profitable, it is not difficult for the red-haired barbarians to support their seven-year ship expansion plan.
In a close-range artillery attack of two to eight hundred meters, a single large or small shell can almost severely damage an enemy ship.
As for the current theory of naval warfare, there is still no deviation. In other words, the understanding of artillery is still thorough enough.
Hong Maoyi wanted to talk less about that topic, and reminded: "The number of battleships and artillery is one thing, and the tactics under the sea are more important. Whether it is maneuvering a ship or firing a cannon, you have to practice hard for many years before you can do it."
Think about it."
Seeing Guo Shuai's excited expression, the red-haired man smiled faintly and said: "On the coast of Xiaoming, we should be able to have enemies everywhere. But when it comes to the entire South China Sea, it is still not enough. If the navy continues to develop, it will not be able to dominate the South China Sea.
possible."
In addition to changes in artillery and tactics, a small number of rockets will also be equipped with the navy, becoming another set of sharp naval warfare weapons.
Hong Maoyi smiled and nodded, and said: "What we teach may not be appropriate. I will think about it carefully, eliminate the bad and retain the good, so that the navy can always maintain its advantage."
But the Red Mao Yi has not yet made a promise. If I believe it again, it will appear that I am looking down on Zhang Tao. Besides, since I have no way to make money, it is still a bad thing to say more. Although the Dutch East India Company has now retreated to Asia, in
The navy is still as powerful as the Zheng family, but it can also be underestimated.
But I can't help it. This is not a profit from sea trade. I use the Lin family to get goods from Jiangnan, and then trade with North Korea and Japan through Liaodong to avoid the monopoly of the Zheng family.
Breech-loading artillery is only fast to reload, but its accuracy is also low.
However, Xiyi is still pursuing longer range and smaller shell power, so that the artillery is getting heavier and heavier, and the number of guns carried by the ship has to be reduced.
The casting of Hongyi small artillery has not yet been mastered in Xiaolian's arsenal, but it is of little use to Pingliao. They have been working overtime to manufacture mortars, rockets, and related ammunition.
How can the ship-handling skills be matured if it is galloping in a small sea? How can the artillery skills be improved if it is firing dozens of hundreds of cannons?
"That is Guo Dajing's true strength." Hong Maoyi solemnly warned: "Seven years ago, our naval guns could carry more than a thousand guns, but Guo Dajing's warships in the country combined have more than 10,000 guns."
"We don't have artillery yet, so we have to retreat and modify it to make it more suitable for naval battles." Hong Maoyi pondered for a while and said, "I'm sure Sun Yuanhua will have no problem here. It all depends on the arsenal to build it."
The war has begun, and they are finally free to make money. In this regard, the red-haired barbarians are afraid of everyone.
Guo Shuai did not understand the thoughts of the red-haired barbarians. I just obeyed orders. It was not my dream to lead a mighty fleet to fight against enemies.
Guo Shuai nodded vigorously and said: "The Xiyi instructor hired by Zhang Tao will ask us for advice humbly. He dares to be arrogant and arrogant."
Guo Shuai clicked his tongue in agreement, but he didn't have any doubts in his heart. According to that number, this is not a lot of warships, and it is not enough to cover the sky.
Relying on the relationship with the imperial merchants of the Japanese shogunate, the Hongmao Yi had actually been doing business with the Japanese country, but the scale was small.
Guo Shuai was stunned for a moment and asked doubtfully: "Could Zhang Tao be referring to Guo Dajing? But Guo Dajing even beat up the Zheng family."
Although Hong Shanyue is good at dancing, Guo Shuai still feels a lot of pressure due to the huge amount of funds.
Even if the funds are sufficient and the seven-year plan can be completed, it is not a big deal. Just postpone it a few more years!
The tactics of naval battles will also be based on the battle line, giving full play to the power of side artillery, and trying to abandon ship-based gangs that are not out of date.
Moreover, the types of glass products will increase, and porcelain workshops will also need to expand production. There will be no sea trade, and there will be no horse market with the Mongols, which will be a sales market.
Guo Shuai smiled bitterly, knowing that the reconstruction and restoration of Liaodong required a small amount of funds, and the development of the navy could only be financed by the red-haired barbarians.
Moreover, this is only the number of main ships. According to the current scale of the Dongjiang Navy, in five years, there will be four to five hundred small and medium-sized sea-going ships.
Hong Maoyi waved his hand and said: "He is in charge of that, you can solve the money problem."
"Hong Shan, to complete that seven-year plan, the amount of money that needs to be invested is quite huge." Hong Shan looked at Hong Shanyue without any worry, "The difference is a few million dollars, right?"
You know, the navy is a gold-swallowing beast. It only adds ships and cannons, but does not have to go to sea for training and other expenses.
You must know that in a real naval battle, shelling from a few meters away basically depends on luck, and the hit rate is extremely high. The only ones that caused huge damage to the battleship were the bombardments within two to eight hundred meters.
