Red Alert 1895 Chapter 127

When Wang Guorui talked about forming a navy, this immediately made everyone feel thunderous. http://www. biqi. me/Because they are in Taiwan, they all understand the current situation in Taiwan. First of all, Taiwan is an isolated island. If there is no navy, it is impossible to open up to the outside world. Even if you board a ship, it is easy to be wiped out by the enemy's navy. The army cannot exert its combat effectiveness on ships, so once the army reaches the sea, it is a toothless tiger. At that time, other navies can easily destroy them. The reason why Wang Guorui was unable to force Japan to pay compensation this time was because Japan had a relatively powerful navy. If Wang Guorui sent an army to attack Japan by sea, the Japanese navy could easily wipe out Wang Guorui's army. This is not worth the candle. So in the end, there was only a result of no compensation, which made Wang Guorui very depressed.

But next, Wang Guorui will soon form a navy, this is an inevitable choice. The shipyard of the Red Alert system has already begun preparations for shipbuilding, and the corresponding funds are gradually in place. The two million taels of silver indemnified by Japan has also been sent, and the two million taels of silver will be Wang Guorui's first starting fund for the establishment of the navy. With this money, it is completely possible to form a decent navy in the future. After all, the warships of Wang Guorui's red police system are cheap, and the cost is more than ten times cheaper than that of other countries' warships, so they can be built naturally.

"The navy will be an army parallel to the army in the future. The navy is currently planning to establish a battleship detachment, and the battleship detachment has three battleships. I have already started purchasing this battleship, and it will arrive soon. And the navy's warships The detachment will be treated at the division level, and the captains of the three battleships will be treated at the regiment level."

"I just talked about the battleship detachment. Next, we will form a cruiser detachment. The cruiser detachment is also composed of several cruisers. A detachment of four to six cruisers is also at the division level, and the captain of the cruiser is also at the regiment level."

"As for the third, destroyer and frigate detachment, it is composed of destroyers and frigates. The captains of destroyers and frigates are battalion-level. Three to five destroyers and frigates form a brigade, and then three to four brigades form a frigate The destroyer detachment will be an important force responsible for the daily security of our Taiwan Strait, and the daily security issues in the Taiwan Strait will be taken care of by the destroyer detachment."

"As for the fourth, that is, the service detachment. The naval service detachment is composed of medical ships, supply ships, tugboats, and other service warships. The captains of these warships range from battalion level to deputy regiment level, and then form a detachment as a sea warship. Duty work."

"Finally, form a marine division. Responsible for landing operations when necessary, and open a gap from land and sea for the army that lands later."

And when everyone heard the establishment of the navy, they suddenly felt like Sparta. Because the strength of this navy is stronger than that of the army, and the army has only four division-level units, but the navy actually has four naval detachments equivalent to the army division, and there is also a marine division. With five division-level units, how embarrassing is this for the army present here!

"My lord, is it necessary for us to build so many navies? If we want to build so many navies, I'm afraid we will have to spend a lot of money! Besides, buying warships is the second most important thing. The maintenance of the navy is the most expensive. If the maintenance of a detachment is based on The cost is much higher than that of the army," Liu Ke said.

"Haha, Liu Ke, you have just taken office as the Minister of Logistics, and you are actually concerned about military expenses? Don't worry, we don't need to spend money for short-term maintenance. I have my maintenance channels." Wang Guorui said.

Hearing that maintenance does not cost money, Liu Ke has no objection to this. Anyway, as the head of logistics, his life was actually a bit vain. After all, many of Wang Guorui's supplies came to them inexplicably, and everyone believed that Wang Guorui was supported by foreign forces. But everyone is like this in this day and age. So what if it has the support of foreign forces, isn't there also a lot of foreign forces in the mainland to support it? Now that Wang Guorui can not only buy a warship with his own money, but also have someone help him maintain it, then there is no need to talk too much.

And everyone doesn't pay much attention to this navy. After all, they are all from the army, so they don't pay too much attention to the navy. China has been a continental army strategy since ancient times, so it doesn't pay much attention to the navy. What's more, China does not have too many interests overseas, and maintaining a navy is very costly. And the ancient Chinese didn't realize that the danger would come from the sea, and they all regarded the nomads in the north as the source of danger, so they would naturally attach importance to the army and ignore the navy.

"Everyone, you must pay attention to the navy, and you must not ignore the navy. You must know that Taiwan is an isolated island. If there is no navy, we can only be beaten and not fight back. At that time, even if the army cannot beat us, they can send the navy. Disgusting us. At that time, the battlefield will be fought on our land, and our losses will be huge. And they can send a navy to blockade our Taiwan, so that we cannot communicate with the outside world, and in the end we can only silently perish."

"This era is no longer the self-sufficient era of the past. We must develop the navy, and then go to attack and open up. The worst is to ensure that we will not be bullied, so the navy must be established and must be valued. You have also studied world history during this period, and you should know that all powerful countries are pursuing the navy. Britain is the world's number one navy, so they have the title of the world's number one power, and they have many overseas Benefits. France also has a top-ranking navy, which makes them a strong country. As for the Germans, although their navy is relatively weak, they are all pursuing the navy. Why, isn't it because they can get more with the navy? Colonies? And Japan also requires a navy, and this time Japan has a navy, which can guarantee that they will not be invaded by us. And if it was the case that they did not have a navy in the past, then we can attack them at any time so that they can fight They surrendered to us. But because of the lack of a navy, we had to sign a non-reparation contract with Japan. In the end, we still lost money.”

After hearing this, everyone felt helpless. It was obvious that Japan invaded them, but the final result was that they would not pay each other. Although this time it seemed to be an equal contract between the two parties, in the end it was actually a loss for Taiwan. Because the cost of Taiwan's purchase of weapons and ammunition, as well as various cannons and weapons to train soldiers is very high, far more than two million taels of silver. And in this war, Japan was clearly the aggressor, but in the end there was no compensation for a penny. This is nominally non-indemnity, but the fact is that Taiwan has lost money. After all, the battlefield is on its own land, and the loss of artillery fire is all the materials and buildings on its own territory, so in general, Taiwan has actually suffered a big loss.

Originally, Taiwan had the strength to land on the Japanese mainland to ask for it. After all, Japan has no troops in the country. As long as there are about 10,000 to 20,000 troops, Japan can pay a painful price. However, Wang Guorui and the others did not have a navy, and without a navy, they could not land on the Japanese mainland to teach the Japanese a lesson, which made both sides suffer. With this lesson learned here, everyone has also pondered, after all, this situation makes them very uncomfortable. And the bottom line is that Taiwan does not have a navy, nor does it have a strong navy.

Although it is impossible for the Japanese navy to approach the mainland of Taiwan, because of the existence of the "banshee" Tanya, the Japanese navy regards the Taiwan Strait as a forbidden area. However, it is impossible for Tanya to **** the troops. After all, Taiwan is very far away from Japan. Although Tanya can swim for a short distance, once it exceeds 20 kilometers, Tanya will not have the strength to fight, so it is okay to rely on Tanya to **** No way.

And to crack all this, you must form a navy, and it is the navy itself that can really crack the navy. Therefore, Taiwan must form a navy. This is imperative, so everyone agrees with Wang Guorui's idea of ​​forming a navy.

"However, we have no talents!" Hu Wei said.

Although Taiwan wants to form a navy, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com has no talents. Unlike the army, naval personnel can go to the battlefield after only a few months of training. But the navy is different. The navy needs a lot of talents. First of all, they must know how to operate warships, and naval battles are far more complicated than land battles. And all industrial levels must be reflected. Let alone the industrial level in Taiwan, even the sailors and officers of the navy do not have it. If there are battleships and no sailors, then this is simply absurd.

When Wang Guorui heard this, Wang Guorui immediately said, "I can solve part of the sailor's problem, but the naval officer will also entrust Liu Feng from the General Intelligence Administration."

"Me?" Liu Feng was puzzled for a while.

Not only Liu Feng, but even those in the army didn't quite understand why the navy officers entrusted Liu Feng to be in charge. Li Feng is the person in charge of intelligence. Intelligence and the navy can be said to have almost nothing to do with each other. How could he entrust Liu Feng to be in charge of this naval officer?

However, when Wang Guorui explained it, everyone knew the specific reason. (To be continued.) xh118
