Chapter 191 Investigation (Part 4)

Chapter 191 Investigation (Fourth Change)

The river in the Kingdom of Holman is named Longjiang River, because its river course twists and turns, like a giant dragon coiled on the land of Holman, hence the name Longjiang River!

When Locke and the others arrived at the Longjiang River, they directly and rudely occupied a pier as a place for training their navy.

After all, they don't know how to measure the hydrology themselves. If they have to find someone to measure the hydrology and do something complicated, it will take a lot of time. Locke doesn't want to delay it for that long.

So the best way is to directly requisition the largest wharf in this area. These wharves are only established after hydrographic surveys, so Locke and the others also saved a lot of trouble.

The draft of the pier is also better than other places in the river, and the traffic is also good, so it can be easily transported by Locke and the others. In fact, the most important thing is that everything here is ready-made, and if there is anything missing later, Locke and the others can make up for it. , without having to start from scratch.

The location of the site selection is fixed, and the next step is to exchange for warships and recruit sailors!

Before exchanging warships, Locke still had to measure the water depth of the river. Only by knowing the depth of the water could he be able to determine the warship of that tonnage to be exchanged.

Ships of different types and tonnages have different drafts. If the water depth of the river is not enough, and the ships are exchanged for large-tonnage ships, then these ships will not be useful in the end.

Must be adapted to local conditions!

Ships are divided into two categories: combat ships and auxiliary combat ships.Combat ships are divided into surface combat ships and underwater combat ships according to their different navigation states.

Now what Locke has to choose must be a surface combat ship!

There is also a difference between warships and boats. Those with a displacement of more than [-] tons are called ships, and those with a displacement of less than [-] tons are called boats!

After investigation, Locke and the others found that the ship with the largest tonnage that Longjianghe could bear could not exceed [-] tons, otherwise it would be easy to bottom out. Small ships.

However, against the navy of this era, even if they are equipped with ships equipped with primary and secondary schools, their displacement and tonnage still have an absolute advantage.

Not to mention the gap between the various weapons on the ship, most water battles in this era are still in the era of side-to-side battles, that is to say, they basically have no other battles except for a small number of long-range weapons such as arrows The method can only be that the big ship hits the small boat, or collides, or the two ships meet, and the sailors fight hand to hand!

It is precisely because of this form that fire attacks are more popular in water warfare at this time, and there are even various forms of ships such as mother-child ships in this era.

Moreover, in the era of cold weapons, ships were mostly powered by manpower and wind, and the speed of warships was relatively slow.

The reason why the Confederacy's navy was able to rise was because of their large number of warships, and because they had begun to develop some firearms for naval warfare.

It was precisely because of the advanced weapons and equipment, coupled with their large fleet, that they were the first to eliminate the pirates in their territory and defeated the navies of several nearby kingdoms.

Without those competitors, the navy of the Southern Alliance naturally developed faster and faster, and the development of the navy also gave the Southern Alliance the power to plunder wealth. It can be said that the navy is the confidence for the expansion of the Southern Alliance!

However, with the deepening of the expansion, they are no longer satisfied with the coastal areas, so now their army is also undergoing crazy expansion!

The Southern Alliance has great ambitions, and all the kingdoms are aware of it. However, no one dares to be the leader. Now the Southern Alliance is in the limelight, and no one dares to mess with them.

And those guys in the Southern Alliance are also very smart. Those big kingdoms, or those kingdoms that have allies and good relations, they will put them first, and they will be close to them first. At the same time, their status is not too high, and their relationship with other kingdoms is not enough. The kingdom of harmony is eaten.

After slowly developing and strengthening his own strength, the current Southern Alliance is already a giant-level existence, and it is not necessarily his opponent if several kingdoms join forces!

Locke didn't know what the so-called firearms used by the Confederate Navy looked like. What would the most primitive firearms of this era look like?

He didn't think about it, as long as he got his navy up, would he be afraid of the Southern Alliance?Their firearms, in front of Senna's navy, are like toys.

There are various types of warships in the munitions system. First of all, there is no need to think about the aircraft carrier Locke. The Longjiang River will definitely not be able to accommodate large battleships such as battleships and cruisers. The depth of the Longjiang River makes them difficult. There is a possibility of bottoming out and sinking!

Then, the largest ships that can be equipped by the Senna Navy can only be frigates and destroyers. The tonnage of frigates is generally between [-] and [-] tons, while destroyers are relatively large and generally displace water. The tonnage is between [-] tons and [-] tons.

According to the battleship that Longjianghe can withstand a displacement of [-] tons, Locke can only choose these two types of ships at most.And he can only choose some small destroyers, otherwise it is not very safe.

These are the insufficiencies of the congenital conditions. If the Holman Kingdom is facing the sea, Locke can directly produce a few aircraft carriers and then match them with some frigates, destroyers and other ships. Wouldn't that be perfect?

But Locke doesn't complain, these ships are enough to deal with these backward guys!

As for smaller ships, Locke intends to equip some escort boats, mine-laying boats, and rescue boats for other purposes of the Senna navy.

As for how many of these ships need to be equipped, it all depends on how many sailors Locke can recruit and train. As long as there are enough sailors, it will be easy for Locke to get a few more warships.

Well, what they have to do now is to start recruiting sailors!

Locke's plan to establish a navy had already spread out. Before Locke was still in Seine City and before he set off to Longjiang River, he had already spread the word so that those who were familiar with water and wanted to join the army would know the news. , so that I can come here to find him to sign up for the army.

Now in the Kingdom of Holman, it is a very honorable thing to be able to join the Sena Army!

So when Locke and the others arrived at the banks of the Longjiang River and started recruiting sailors, the recruiting office was immediately surrounded!

Next, I will start to write about the navy, and I hope everyone will support it!Five more today!
