Da Qin: Destroyed the Xiongnu at the beginning

"Your Highness, according to statistics, since the Navy was reorganized into the Navy and the news that the new warships were about to be launched came out, more than 100,000 people signed up to join the Navy in just five days.

If this continues, within a year, our Great Qin Navy will be able to increase the strength of two more fleets!"

Wang Jian said with joy on his face.

Although naval training is much more difficult than that of the army, the fleet officers have explored an effective method under Fusu's guidance.

That is to train new recruits according to their personal strengths.

After being divided into corresponding positions on different warships and learning one-on-one with the veterans, it only takes a few months for the recruits to initially develop combat effectiveness under the step-by-step guidance.

Anyway, the warships of the Great Qin Navy are all based on Fusu's high standards.

The space on the battleships is much wider than that of other countries, and it will not be too crowded with more manpower.

Every time a new fleet is formed, the proportion of new recruits on each battleship will be strictly controlled. Those employed in key positions are veterans with excellent skills transferred from other fleets.

This will not only ensure the combat effectiveness of the newly established fleet, but also allow veterans in each fleet to get more opportunities for promotion, which will be of great benefit to the entire naval fleet. Morale is also a huge improvement.

In addition to speeding up personnel training, Daqin's shipbuilding capabilities are also constantly improving. Now there are more than ten naval shipyards alone, and on average a five-year-old ship can be launched in two days a day. Yalou ship!

It’s just that the Wuyalou ship, which is currently the main force of the fleet, will be downgraded to a second-class warship after the true giant treasure ship of the sea is launched. And the originally supporting escort ships will only retain a small number for reconnaissance patrols. Except for their intended use, the ordnance will be dismantled and sold to caravans.

The speed of development made Wang Jian, the Great Qin Lieutenant, smile from ear to ear.

"good"

"Compared with the army, the navy has higher technical requirements, so the cultural education of fleet officers must continue to be strengthened!"

Fusu said with a smile:"You can consider setting up a small library on each battleship, and regularly hold some competitions to compete in professional skills.

Soldiers who perform well in the competition can be included in the merit list and receive priority opportunities for promotion.

In this way, there will be no need to worry about the soldiers having no motivation to study."

"What His Highness said is true. The old minister has learned a lesson!"

Wang Jian nodded repeatedly.

With the continuous improvement of shipbuilding capabilities, the biggest factor preventing the expansion of the Great Qin Navy is no longer ships, but qualified officers and men who control warships.

The importance of talents has been fully reflected in repeated ocean-going training. come out, so it is indeed extremely necessary to improve the cultural level.

Moreover, the sea is vast, and naval officers actually have a lot of time to study when performing non-combat tasks. The competitions and other activities proposed by Fusu are to strengthen The best way to learn to bully

"In addition, in order for the fleet to receive timely supplies on the sea and maintain the strongest combat effectiveness at all times, in addition to the number of warships, the ports and fortresses along the way are also very important."

Fusu pondered for a while and said.

When he led the fleet to expedition to Fusang, he experienced it personally. On the sea, the most uncomfortable thing is actually the long-term boredom and homesickness.

Now Daqin is still in the age of sailing, even in the The treasure ship under construction can reach a speed of more than 20 knots at best under the best wind conditions. It is very good to be able to maintain a speed of seven or eight knots when the wind is against the wind. Starting from Daqin mainland, it takes about six or seven days to go to Fuso Island. It takes half a month to go to Tianzhu Port, and about a month to reach Persia County.

Such a long voyage is not only very boring, but also very difficult to supply.

Many naval officers are already tired of dry food such as dried meat, salted fish and so on..

Even if soybeans can be used to grow some bean sprouts, fresh water is more precious.

Therefore, it is very necessary to build some midway supply ports on the only way to the route.

These ports not only allow the fleet to replenish it regularly Supplies, and when docked at the port, the fleet officers can take turns to disembark and go to the land for some activities, which is also a great improvement to morale.

And although the initial investment in building ports and fortresses seems to be huge, these port fortresses , not only can be provided to fleets, but can also be opened to merchant ships for supply.

In order to transport more cargo, these merchant ships have much less living space on board than battleships, and their self-sustainability is also worse.

Midway supply stations The existence of the merchant ship can make these merchant ships go more smoothly and further.

It can also quickly recoup the construction cost of the port fortress.

As long as we persist in this way, in just a few years, the key islands on the entire sea will be covered with Daqin ships. The footprints of ships.

And these ports and fortresses will gradually develop into cities, driving the people of Daqin to immigrate, so that Daqin fleet officers and people can experience the feeling of home in these places, so that Daqin can truly realize the journey from land to The changes in the sea.

Compared with those island countries in later generations that focused on developing navies, the people of Qin's maritime concepts were still lacking even after Fusu continued to guide them. But now Fusu is simply driven by interests. Da Qin’s great voyage went faster and further

"His Royal Highness’s knowledge of the ocean is beyond the reach of the veteran!"

Wang Jian said with a look of admiration.

"The old lieutenant is too praised!"

"By the way, the old lieutenant came here today specifically to talk about the fleet expansion, right?"

Fusu smiled and waved his hand.

"It made His Highness laugh. The old minister came this time. Another thing he wanted to ask His Highness for advice was the preparations for this military parade! Wang

Jian quickly replied

"Regarding the training work for the military parade, I have just compiled a draft, and the old lieutenant can discuss it together. Fusu said with a smile, picking up the text on the table.

Wang Jian quickly read it carefully, and the admiration on his face suddenly became stronger.

As expected of His Royal Highness, a military parade can have so many creative ideas, and all of them are It was so shocking.

Whether it was the new military uniforms, or the neat queues and slogans, they all further demonstrated the might and combat effectiveness of the Qin army.

And the opening ceremony made Wang Jian even more amazed.

It really boosts people’s morale!
