On this day, Li Er was extremely excited, because the big thing was finally settled.
The submarine has been successfully built and is currently waiting in the shipyard of Port Saint-Jermain!
As soon as the order from Chang'an arrives, the ship will dive into the sea, and from then on it will roam the world, free and invincible.
Although.
On this day, Li Er was completely unaware that his old enemy from far away had made a major decision, but then again.
Li Er, a group of distant enemies, faced the enemies with five surnames and Qi Wang on this day.
All the things I have been doing with all my heart and soul during this period of time are also unconscious.
…
Li Er announced the construction of submarines. When this matter was first proposed, it caused a lot of opposition in the DPRK and China.
This opposition even caused a stir. If it had been during the Song or Wei and Jin dynasties, it might have really succeeded, and the submarine issue would have been cancelled.
but!
Li Er is currently in power in the Tang Dynasty, so of course it is impossible to cancel this kind of thing, but regardless of whether it is canceled or not, anyway, this whole thing... there was quite a resistance at the beginning, but to this day, the construction of this submarine has
The construction has been completed. No matter how you say you are opposed to it, it is nonsense.
Therefore, when Li Er announced that the submarine was about to be launched, there was almost no movement in the court. They just gave ordinary praises. Anyway, that's what happened. In fact, the people who initially opposed Li Er's submarine building were
, basically don’t care much about things like national strategy. The main thing to talk about is to cherish the people’s power, and not to repeat the mistakes of the Qin Dynasty II, but since Li Er has announced the construction of submarines,
If you don't care about people's livelihood, you can only arrange your funeral arrangements and see how you can do less work and make more out of it.
Although in their opinion, this matter of building a submarine was undoubtedly Li Er's deliberate attempt to find a reason to get money for these craftsmen - naturally it was their money, but the start had been announced, and there was no way for everyone to replace this poor emperor.
One, so I had to think about it in secret.
As for the emperor's announcement today that the submarine was launched, the court hall was even more deserted and there was no excitement at all.
In addition to the court, the situation among the people is also similar.
Although the imperial court is engaged in major military projects with great secrecy, what does it count? From the perspective of ordinary people, there is no day when the imperial court is not busy with these things.
Anyway, it seems that the pirates on the sea cannot be cured now. It is estimated that the court has given up on treatment.
As for the craftsmen, sailors, shipowners, and factory owners who make a living around maritime trade, the top priority issue has not been resolved. It seems that it will never be resolved, and even if it is resolved, it may only be thirty to fifty years later.
In this case, everyone has nothing to care about if the imperial court has any important matters to deal with.
then.
This time the submarine was launched, Li Er was actually a little worried.
It's not that he's worried about what will happen to the submarine itself, but that such a major armament is about to be launched. Will this attract thieves to do something... If the other party directly sets fire to the shipyard of Port Saint-Jermain, then what will happen?
Isn’t it just Barbie q?
Although that place, as a military base, must be heavily guarded, not ordinary, but who can say for sure.
During the recruitment stage, internal personnel are not classified as officials, craftsmen or handymen. They have already checked three generations of ancestors, and all nearby areas are kept clear at all times - such a strict approach is of course to prevent internal troubles, but because of this kind of
It is similar to the method of vigorously raising money to eliminate risks, so the effect is still very clear and visible.
No one can escape smoothly after causing trouble in Datang's shipyard!
But this is a normal situation. If the pirates who have been arrogant for more than a year show up, I'm afraid it will be difficult to talk about it.
But after a second thought, Li Er actually felt relieved, because no matter whether the pirates showed up or not, the place was heavily guarded after all.
Ordinary seaside cities and villages have been exposed to danger this year. This is because the Forbidden Army cannot capture the movement direction of the pirates and cannot provide defense at any time. However, the shipyard is there, and the main force of the Forbidden Army is stationed there. The pirates are capable.
Well? If you want to cause trouble, you have to defeat the main force of the Imperial Army. This is funny.
So finally,
The first submarine of the Tang Dynasty was neither surprising nor dangerous, so much so that there was no enthusiasm or discussion, and even the most boring newspapers and magazines did not pay attention to it. It was launched into the water without any surprise.
With such a dull launch, naturally only some of the relevant personnel involved in this big project were excited.
Yes, only part of it!
Because this time to build a submarine, Chai Shao's letter included not only the technical information of the submarine itself, but also the emergence of "modular construction", a brand-new concept that had never been seen before in the Tang Dynasty.
Although everyone in the Tang Dynasty, including Chai Shao himself, did not realize how valuable this thing was when it was actually used during the submarine construction project.
I just thought this was a small way to improve production efficiency.
But after all, this idea was applied to this submarine project!
A large number of craftsmen, and even higher-level "engineers" with official positions, did not know that what they built was the latest magical weapon of the Tang Dynasty.
The only ones who were really excited were Li Erjun and Chen.
but.
After all, Datang's submarine has been launched, and Li Er's dynasty has naturally... gradually and constantly become something completely different and new from the past.
Naturally, Wang Jing and Pei Ji's group were completely unaware of all this. Although it was actually easy for them to obtain this information, Wang Jing and others mainly engaged in military intelligence of the Tang Dynasty, which was highly encrypted.
As for the project of building submarines, Datang did not keep it secret.
This is not to say that Li Er does not know the importance of this thing, but although Li Er knows, he also knows that this entire project will take a long time, several months... at least half a year.
If you keep it a secret for such a long period of time, no matter how you protect it, some information will be leaked, and the outside world will find it even more suspicious, and it will become darker and darker.
After all, it is obviously such a big project, a project that is obviously difficult to keep secret no matter how you look at it, but you insist on keeping it secret. Then it is impossible for anyone with some brains not to think about, what is this for? Such a question.
Although not keeping it secret will not improve the above situation, but not keeping it secret in such a direct way can at least ensure one thing - the probability that the outside world will associate this thing with the military field is much lower.
Although this idea is very detailed and difficult to think of, Li Shimin is not an emperor who only eats hard work!
