Chapter 76: The Southeast sails
While the Southeast was performing various ceremonies, except for the two warships in the dry dock for maintenance on the other warships, a total of ten warships were performing the same rituals: assembly roll call, prayer, announcement of military discipline and captain's instructions.
The damaged Kaohsiung No. 1 and Kaohsiung No. 3 are back!
According to Yu Zigao, the chief soldier of coastal defense, the two damaged warships in the Southeast Mansion will be used for at least three months. By then, I am afraid that they will not be able to catch up with the battle of the summer solstice.
However, in just over a month, the two severely damaged ships were repaired, and the diligent workers even managed to maintain them everywhere!
In addition to the convenience brought by the dry dock, the diligence of the workers occupies the main factor.
Three shifts, many people work all night long, even if there is no bonus, they work hard there!
Yan Changwu, the boss of Southeastern Prefecture, was moved. He remembered that he wanted to discover the unique technology of my Chinese nation: infrastructure madness!
So he announced that when May Day (Gregorian calendar) arrives, he will set up a festival called May 1 Labor Day. On that day, everyone will have a day off.
Advocate: Labor is glorious, labor changes life!
Decided to establish a May 1st Labor Award, called "Model Workers". All walks of life will be evaluated, bonuses, certificates of honor, etc. will be issued!
I have to say that in Southeast Mansion, an atmosphere of hard work is taking shape, and Yan Changwu said that his task is to ensure fairness!
Let the hardworking people get what they want, and resist the grabbing by the non-hardworking people: for example, the fishing tyrants belong to the evil forces, they bully the market and grab the people’s catch.
A fishing tyrant appeared in Beigang, but within three days, he was taken away by the police and sent to labor reform!
...
The Southeast Fleet managed to gather enough crew members to bring the new with the old. Even the new British instructors sent officers to the ranks. In addition to being instructors, they also participated in combat.
The British are very active because they have extra combat allowances and they are expensive.
There are now two Tier 3 battleships (in fact, they are not really sailing battleships, but battleships, with the power of later battleships, but the ship shape has not yet evolved), and four Tier 5 cruise ships (actually the transformation of large Dutch merchant ships, in the Far East, the Netherlands There are no warships in the true sense) and six tier six cruisers (it is modern warships, which are evolved, and the first two warships have not yet evolved, and their stern and bow towers are towering), as the first Strike the group.
The captain of another third-tier battleship "Taiwan", because the deputy captain Li De has not yet had a "post certificate", he has to work hard to obtain the post certificate and is now temporarily acting as the captain.
But he did not train. His battleship was being overhauled in the dry dock. He jumped up and down in a hurry, urging the dock workers to hurry up every day.
Deputy Admiral Li Ying and Chief Instructor Storm were appointed as the commander and deputy commander of the Second Strike Group, that is, commanding the old warships to fight.
Due to the wide opening of the door, the second strike group also has tens of thousands of soldiers, equipped with various bird boats (the bird boat is a small fast sea boat of the Fu ship type. The length is 10 meters, the width is 3.4 meters, and it is a fast attack ship type), The ship is a remodeled net fishing boat. It is a medium-sized sea-going ship built in southern Fujian. It is the main battle ship of the Ming Dynasty navy, with a length of 12-25 meters and a width of 3.6-6.4 meters), a double-sailed boat (also known as The double-top ship is a medium-sized warship with solid structure, flexible driving and fast driving built in Zhangzhou and Xiamen. The ship is 20 meters long, 5.7 meters wide, and constructed of pine and fir wood. The ship can also be used for ocean freight transportation. Ships, boat people and their families live on ships, with cabins, which can be transformed into warships if needed.) Hundreds of ships, and their strength is rapidly expanding.
Warships that have no other missions or maintenance are all engaged in active training.
...
The big ship "Southeast" is about to set sail, and everyone is ready.
Captain Yan Donglai asked Captain Yan Changwu for instructions. He nodded in agreement, so Yan Donglai announced: "Southeast, set sail!"
The lead sailor on the ship, Wang Qiming, exclaimed: "Get on the sail!"
The sailors climbed up quickly, as skilled as they were climbing their own steps. The ropes were immediately filled with people in darkness, and some people climbed directly to the mast.
Yan Changwu pinched the clock and watched them get up to Fanyan (the horizontal wood, with sails hanging on it), and nodded slightly: "The speed is okay!"
"Hang the sail!" The command came out again. The people on the mast climbed onto the sail (this is relatively safe), and the sailors who climbed directly on the horizontal masts (mostly veterans) untied the bundles. The rope of the sail, holding on to it, waiting for the order.
"Be careful to untie both ends first, and then loosen the bulge in the middle of the sail!" The long sail yelled, UU reading www.uukanshu. com check back and forth.
Wang Qiming is not very old, only 22 years old, but he was already working on a ship at the age of eight. He dared to sail a small sailing boat alone at the age of twelve. He has a natural control over the control of the sails. Therefore, the sails of this huge ship are very long. He is none other than.
"Zhang Fan!" Seeing that everyone was doing well, the sail line leader ordered.
"The sail pieces are in place, the sails turn upside down, rise up, be more vigorous, the fore mast platform, work harder, raise the mast sails, pull the ropes, and lower the sails, tighten the ropes!..." Wang Qiming Roaring again and again.
He slapped a piece of metal on the deck, and the thing led to the bottom of the deck. Dozens of crew members pushed the giant winch to tighten the sails as thick as calves.
Before Wang Dongming, the captain also yelled "Anchor!"
The Southeast has a large tonnage and a slow start, so it does not moor at the pier. Its anchor is not light. It is several tons and more. The anchor cable is 50 cm thick. When the anchor is set out, it is heavy and heavy at the double-plate anchorage in the middle of the ship. The iron anchor is hung on the anchor rod. On the drum of the anchor plate, there are many long locust wood rods as the driving handle of the winch. Dozens of talents can push the winch and pull the anchor at the same time. There is a non-commissioned officer standing on the drum. Shout slogans and coordinate everyone to work hard together.
In short, sailing is a physical job!
A gust of wind blew and the sails swelled, causing the ship to fall to one side. Then the big ship slammed and left the anchorage. As the wind tightened, the hull accelerated, and Yan Changwu began to give orders:
"Turn left two compass points!"
"Keep the course unchanged!"
"Under the crosswind direction, turn right to a compass point!"
...
Under his guidance, the Southeast, which was also like a behemoth, sailed into the sunny East China Sea.
