Chapter 2454: Yang will reach the top (2)
People at the time compared the Southern China Empire to the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty was powerful and the four barbarians came to vote. There were countless foreigners who participated in the Tang army, and they were quite capable, and made outstanding contributions to the expansion of the Tang Dynasty.
The South China Empire also has a great power in the Tang Dynasty, and foreigners come to invest in an endless stream. In order to join the South China’s pursuit of life, they have contributed a lot to South China’s foreign warfare.
As the saying goes, there are three gangs of one hero. The South China Empire conquered the world and occupied a considerable territory. The heroes of various countries helped each other. They contributed to the great cause of the empire and made great contributions!
People believed that one aspect of Emperor Yan Changwu’s success was to dare to employ people. For example, Cabot was a foreign general who could sit on the largest naval ship of the South China Empire’s naval forces in the Mediterranean. If it were not for the emperor’s approval, Yan Donglai would dare to do so. ?
The Chinese from South China on this ship all obeyed Cabot's orders and obeyed them, showing the harmonious relationship between Chinese and foreign talents.
The "02" ship of the South China Empire's Mediterranean fleet is now occupied by Yan Donglai. The "03" ship is Cabot's ship. Once the "02" ship loses its command capability, Cabot will hoist the command flag. The huge imperial fleet will obey his command!
The reason why he is so powerful is because he listened to Mr. David’s persuasion to marry the youngest daughter of a concubine of the empire’s top dignitaries and senior governor Chen Zhongji. He held two weddings at home and abroad. After the marriage, he was harmonious and gave birth. Four children and two daughters.
He also turned his back on God and turned to Mazu. He has deeply imprinted on China. He can no longer be separated, and he has been reused.
"The admiral inspects the warship!"
Cabot inspected the battleship, accompanied by officers.
The "welcome inspection" is a Chinese characteristic. The deck is spotless, the cables are coiled in order, the barrels of the artillery are polished brightly, and the light can shine. Obviously the sailors have done a lot of hard work.
Cabot is a veteran sailor who knows the tricks of his subordinates well, but he can hardly find faults and make him nod repeatedly.
The crew members are not very old. Most of them are in their twenties and full of vigor. Many of them carry the ranks of non-commissioned officers. Cabot randomly found a gun crew and conducted a simulated gun operation. The result was that he was asked Surprisingly, these children are capable of action, are very familiar with various businesses, and easily reach the level of a first-class gunner with one shell per minute, and they still have a lot of energy.
Generally speaking, only gunners on first-class naval powers can achieve the rate of fire of one shell per minute. For example, naval gunners of China, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands will do. The rest of Spain, Portugal, France and other countries have a rate of fire of one round. Two minutes or three minutes.
"In fact, our fastest speed is to shoot one shell in 43 seconds, and an average of 50 seconds to shoot ten shells in a row. It's not that they can't hold on, but the artillery can't stand it. If you continue to shoot, the artillery will blow up!" Colonel Yan proudly said: "The gun crew with this speed accounts for 70%!"
The "Moon, Moon, Water, Fire, Wood, Gold" training of the South China Imperial Navy is by no means an illusion. Long-term training has obtained many excellent gunners, and then transferred from various fleets and ships to battleships, enriching the power of battleships. The future of the gunners is also helpful for those who are upgraded to the capital ship. As long as the capital ship is upgraded, there are more opportunities for promotion, and those who are transferred from the capital ship without making mistakes also have more opportunities for promotion. As for the officers, the battleship of the battleship The qualifications are solid and reliable.
"Damn!" Cabot blurted out: "This is really the battleship of God of War!"
As a foreigner, he said straightforwardly: "Who can be the captain of this battleship, even a pig can win the battle!"
Colonel Yan fingered his nose and said solemnly: "I am this lucky pig!"
Roar of laughter!
Cabot walked through the weather deck, down to the upper gun deck, middle gun deck, lower gun deck, cargo compartment and lower compartment. He saw that the order was in order and the items were neatly arranged. It was difficult to spot any faults.
The ship’s facilities are complete, such as silver water tanks, ventilators and other living measures, library, chess and card activity room, fitness room, etc., especially the fitness room, which contains many of the latest stationary bicycle fitness equipment. Cabot also stepped on it a few times. He heard that it was the materials allocated by the fleet. He nodded with satisfaction: "Before we came from the West to the East, but there were not so many activities. Going to the deck is just to work. Going to the cabin is to eat and sleep!"
In the small shop on the ship, although the place is small, there are a lot of things to put, providing a variety of food, beverages, clothing, small daily necessities, and providing postcards and stamps.
Cabot bought a dozen postcards of this ship. The size of the ship is not small on the hard cardboard. The non-commissioned officer in charge stamped the postcards and stamped the postmark of the ship’s maritime post office. It is very unique and many people collect them outside. of!
The commissary on the warship is exclusively managed by the Imperial Navy Service Agency. Its retail stores are opened on naval bases, overseas bases, and warships. They serve active servicemen, veterans and military members, but not ordinary people.
There are plenty of cold drinks in the commissary, which is equivalent to using explosives for iced drinks, because saltpeter absorbs heat and cools, and saltpeter is the ingredient of explosives. Only the South China Fleet can do such a luxurious enjoyment!
So Cabot ordered all the cold drinks he had prepared and asked the officers to drink it!
He has inspected all parts of the warship and returned to the meeting room. The mahogany furniture on the water and the gold rim on the wall are really luxurious!
Cabot was an old man in the army. He had seen the imperial navy reluctant to decorate the battleship when it was first built. The cabin looked shabby and shabby. Seeing the luxurious style of today's imperial battleship, it was unimaginable!
Before the meeting, he retired temporarily and returned to his living cabin, including the dormitory, living room and small bathroom, covering an area of 12 square meters ~ www.wuxiaspot.com~ all for his use!
It is the first time that he has such a large cabin, which is really a pleasure.
Cabot looked at it with satisfaction and looked out through the crystal clear glass windows. The entire harbour was bathed in the sun. It was dazzling and exquisite. Due to the height of the battleship, there was a feeling of being above and above. Cabot liked this. feel.
As in a dream!
Cabot is not of a high background---if he is advanced, he would not be sent to the East, and he would never be able to reach such a height in Britain!
He didn't let the officers wait long before he went out for a meeting with them.
In addition to the officers of the ship, two major generals and three lieutenant colonels from the fleet arrived on the ship. These were members of the Cabot's command headquarters. There were so many people that the meeting room was packed.
Colonel Yan said: "The report to Admiral, it's all here!"
So Cabot called his first military meeting to arrive on this battleship.
