Chapter 44: Crew structure (2)

　　 "The captain's status is respected, and the income is not small. He can divide at least 20% into the enemy. Of course, our fleet does not have that much, but the admiral also gives 15%."

"However, the danger of the captain is not small. During the battle, the position is on the upper aft deck of the ship, from the middle to the stern. There the captains can see the enemy, their fleet, and most of their warships, and send out Combat instructions.

　　 This is also the most dangerous place! "Storm smiled and said: "We Dutch have said that the benefits of running into the sea are the highest, but the danger of the sea is also the greatest! In fact, it is also the commanders and captains of the fleet! "

　　 I heard that our timid Yan Dashao's heads turned sharply, no, we have to get armor for ourselves.

"The captains must dress well so that they can see it, so...Admiral, I think our officers' clothes are not prominent enough and should be changed! The more beautiful and beautiful the better, the captains and officers should dress differently. "Storm said in the main force.

　　 oh oh, can you pretend to be a peacock?

　　 He's M, he doesn't think the labor and capital are dying fast enough, Yan Dashao replied, "I'll discuss it later!"

　　 "Compared with the captain, the deputy captain is much safer. The captain is on the deck, and the deputy captain usually supervises the artillery battle on the gun deck!"

　　After hearing this, a few young officers grinned. It seems that they want to be deputy captains. They can fire artillery with pleasure and are safe. Why not do it?

"When the captain hangs up, is injured, or is unable to command the warship for some reason, the deputy captain is the first in line "heir" to take over the command of the warship. In addition to him, there are several senior officers, including The navigator (similar to the navigator, who is usually an old officer with rich sailing experience but cannot be promoted to the captain for some reason) and the gun officer (responsible for commanding artillery and sailors during battle)."

　　 "The dignity of an officer cannot be violated. If you dare to violate an officer, it will disrupt the order on the ship, and the order on the ship must exist, because the warship is a lunatic asylum!" Storm said unexpectedly.

"When everyone is engaged in the same boring work day after day, even when they are fighting, they only have fun, eating smelly bacon and water, looking at the monotonous scenery, circled in a small area, and it is normal to go crazy. of!"

　　 "Others can be crazy, officers can't be crazy, once an officer goes crazy, the whole ship will be finished, everyone understand!" Storm warned that all students were humble and taught.

　　 Storm spent a lot of effort to introduce the officers on the ship, and then it was the turn of the officers below, it was the sergeant chiefs and sergeants of all levels. Like the current warships, these non-commissioned officers are mostly technical non-commissioned officers. For example, the line sergeant who is responsible for the storage and storage of sails and rigging; the gunner sergeant and the supply officer (director) who are responsible for the management and maintenance of knives, guns and firearms.

　　 There is also the Marine Corps. They are not responsible for sailing the ship. They have to use rifles and bayonets to fight the enemy. They have to perform the most important role-to prevent their own sailors from mutiny.

　　 "I have said that the ship is a lunatic asylum. In addition to going crazy at ordinary times, a lot of people go crazy during wars! They will flee timidly and even hurt their own people."

　　 There is an old Shitu driver who is indeed different. He told everyone that in the battle, there are always a few Marines who do not participate in the battle (unless absolutely necessary), and they play the role of supervising the team. "The Marine Corps is the people on the ship who can carry weapons except the captain. Others are allowed to carry weapons only after the captain orders the distribution of weapons." Storm said: "The ship is a lunatic asylum. Give it to lunatics. It is a terrible thing to lose weapons. They must check their luggage when they board the ship, and they are not allowed to carry weapons at ordinary times!"

　　 Someone asked, "What if the Marines also go crazy?"

　　 "Good question!" Storm laughed loudly: "This is equivalent to asking how to keep the crew from going crazy or not going crazy."

　　 "There are many answers, good diet, clear rewards and punishments, effective supervision, salary, and..." Storm pointed out: "It is very necessary for the admiral to let us pray to Mazu every morning and evening!"

　　 He digs into his neckline, and what he takes out is not a cross, but a small jade statue of Mazu!

　　 Storm held up the statue and said: "I don't believe in God now, I believe in Mazu!"

　　 Really good!

　　 Hong Maofan held a small statue of Mazu with a sense of joy. It seems that Hong Maofan's refuge is very sincere. He actually converted to Mazu and didn't believe in God.

　　 "Of course! This is a place beyond God's control, I will follow the customs in the countryside!"

He solemnly prayed: "The merciful and compassionate Mazu, we pray to you with a heart of incomparable respect. Please bless our martial arts for a long time and everyone is safe. We are willing to bring your glory to all oceans and continents. !"

　　 All the people bowed their heads and followed in a low voice, including Yan Changwu.

The prayer was set by Yan Changwu. Now the entire Southeast Military Mansion is making gods. The army and government are only allowed to believe in Mazu Niang Niang, and then publicly propagating that Yan Dashao is the golden boy under the Mazu Niang Niang seat, and he will follow Mazu Niang Niang's jade decree and go down to earth. Go to the sea to subdue the demons and demons, and bring the glory of the empress to all oceans and continents!

　　 Regardless of whether others believe it or not, Yan Changwu believes it himself anyway, and asks others to believe it. To believe in him is to believe in Mazu, and to believe in Mazu is to believe in him.

As everyone knows, Storm secretly applauded, Yan Dashao promoted the Mazu faith, asking soldiers and civilians to pray once a day in the morning and evening, to build temples on land, and to have specialized clergymen on the battleship to engage in such things as legal services, dissolve the crew’s psychology, and preside over funerals. , Which is of great help to morale.

　　 Mazu belief occupies an extremely important position in Yan Dashao's military and political system and even among the people. Just as Yan Dasha said, he has brought the glory of the empress to all oceans and continents!

　　I did what he said, so people believed that he was the messenger of the sea god, his position became extremely strong, and the people believed that he was the son of the sea!

Storm continues to introduce the structure of the crew~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Speaking of the crew members who are exempt from shifts, that is, crew members who don’t need three shifts. They usually work during the day and sleep at night. Other crew members, including the captain, do not. Good fate.

　　 refers to the assistants of professional noncommissioned officers. For example, a mending sailor, a carpenter, or an assistant to a supply officer. Although they are not much better than sailors in terms of treatment, the biggest advantage is that they generally do not need to be on duty at night and can sleep peacefully. And for certain positions, you can get a little convenience when you get close to the water platform, such as the chef, which is the most lucrative position for ordinary sailors on sailing warships.

　　 The rest are the sailors with the largest number on the warship. Their number accounts for most of a battleship, and they are also the cornerstone of a battleship to keep running. They are usually divided into deck group and artillery group.

The 　　 deck crew, as the name suggests, is the people who work on the deck. They take care of the huge sails and countless cobweb-like rigging on the ship during the long voyage, and they also want the soldiers to rush forward like the soldiers during the "fighting. Their head is the captain.

The 　　 artillery group controls various types of artillery in the gun bay below the deck. When the gunners on large battleships fight, they are usually commanded by an officer (usually a deputy captain). Some of the smaller warships have an experienced senior non-commissioned officer as the shooting commander. But when they are not at war, they usually work in groups on the deck and in the cabin like ordinary sailors.

　　 "An officer does not have to start as a sailor, but as a qualified captain, he needs to understand every part and working procedure on his warship, so he can still master the skills of a general sailor."

　　 "The more you know, the less likely it is for your subordinates to deceive you!" Storm said, and everyone took it for granted.
