Chapter 205: Naval Academy

"This specific teaching can be divided into disciplines such as musketeers, artillery, cavalry, and grain and grass." Wang Jian said after receiving Shang Wen's words.

"The engineering department should also be added." Shang Wen said.

"Engineers?" Wang Jian and his son said together.

"Yes, siege of cities, bridges, paving, and mountains. These all require engineers, and don’t forget that we still have granular gunpowder in our hands. This granular gunpowder is no less than strong explosives. So these engineering problems should be established. "Shang Wen said.

"Mr. Qin said. This engineering unit should be established. When meeting water to build bridges and meeting mountains to open mountains, it should be such a unit." Wang Ben immediately echoed.

"En. This engineer can indeed be established. Fighting is not only a charge but also a marching formation." Wei Liao said immediately.

"En." King Qin nodded and allowed.

"Mr. Qin, General Wang Jian, and Mr. Wei Liao have discussed these matters together." King Qin said.

"Here." Everyone gave their orders.

"My lord, the minister has one more thing." Shang Wen said.

"Oh, there's one more thing." King Qin said while looking at Shang Wen.

"This army. The heavenly army has been established, and the rivers and lakes on this land are under the jurisdiction of the navy. In the future, our Daqin will not only rely on the army and the heavenly army to build miraculous achievements on land, but also go out of the mainland and go to the sea. This ocean is wider than the land. If such a large ocean is left alone, my Da Qin's hegemony cannot be called hegemony." Shang Wen said.

"Water army. Domineering." King Qin muttered these two words.

"Mr. Qin said yes. I started from Xianyang, passed through the Yellow River, and passed through the gulf of Wei. You can reach the Yangtze River directly, and you can reach the ocean from the Yangtze River. If you attack from the ocean, you can start from Qi. The attack was launched from behind, and the shipping was very convenient. The power it carried was not comparable to that of land." Wei Liao preached strategically.

"The minister also thinks what the two gentlemen said is very reasonable." Wang Jian said with a fist.

"En. Be sure to play." King Qin agreed in one breath.

"In order to show the widow's importance to the ocean, this navy will be changed to a navy from now on. Together we will establish a naval academy." King Qin ordered.

"Here." Everyone bowed and bowed together. This is a historic moment. Qin State not only established an early military education system, but also completely divided the military. The army, the navy and the air force were completely separated. The navy is no longer a dependent force in the army, and becomes an independent force. The independent navy will exert its power greatly.

Next, the candidates for the various branches of the three services.

The Army Officer School and the Non-commissioned Officer School are temporarily merged together. Qin State currently has no idle generals to manage the army. Moreover, the establishment of the general staff requires a large number of experienced officers. These officers also need to be trained. and so. Wang Jian concurrently serves as the president of the Army Academy. As for the space army, Shang Wen now bears all the responsibilities for the establishment of the heaven army, so the president of the military academy of the sky army is held by Shang Wen concurrently.

The most troublesome is the newly established navy. This service, which has just been separated from the army, has its own characteristics. Its officers and soldiers come from the army, and the army usually has very little jurisdiction over it. So the role is very nondescript. Moreover, the combat weapons are mainly ships, which are highly dependent on technology. Special construction of ships also requires a lot of funds. The generals of the Qin army were very unfamiliar with water warfare, especially naval warfare. Considering that these kings of Qin looked at Shangwen who had already held many positions.

"Mr. Qin. The burden of the navy is left to Mr. Qin. Mr. Qin can choose the personnel he needs from all the services at will, how about?" King Qin said.

"The king, the minister, and the minister have served as the head of the heavenly army. This navy is a service that relies on very strong technology, and he is not the same as the heavenly army." Shang Wen deliberately shied away. I can no longer hold any positions. I am now a rightist, in charge of a large number of military production, and at the same time in charge of the establishment of the new service of the Heavenly Army. These matters have already made myself busy. Recently, experiments have started one after another in chemistry and electricity in physics. So many experiments were opened all at once. I am really too busy.

"Widow also came to Mr. Qin based on this." King Qin said, patting Shang Wen's shoulder.

"The burden of the navy is left to you, Mr. Qin." King Qin left after speaking. Everyone gave it to him, but Shang Wen didn't know what to do. Shangwen felt the burden on his shoulders heavier.

Subsequently. Shangwen and others discussed the location of military academies. These issues were not their business originally, but considering the confidentiality of the military. Therefore, it is better for a few people to discuss this matter together.

Military academies adopt the principle of centralized establishment, and the army, the space army, and the navy are all built together. Considering that the navy must be close to the river. The selected places must have rivers. Only along the Weihe River can meet these requirements. Shangwen proposed to establish it in Chang'an County. Chang'an was the future imperial capital of the Han Dynasty. However, as it was in the lower reaches of the Weihe River, Shangwen decided to establish a paper mill and a printing plant there, all of which were established to prevent pollution of the upstream water quality. Chang'an is the fief of King Qin's brother Chang'an. This is the origin of Chang'an.

After everyone discussed, they felt that Chang'an was not far from Xianyang, and was just close to Xianyang, which also happened to protect the safety of paper mills and printing plants. When Shangwen established these factories, he put technology blockade first. The Naval Academy was established in the lower reaches of Xianyang, just to establish a defensive line on the Weihe River. The three major military services have their own strengths and can just block this important channel.

Therefore. Everyone agreed that the three military academies should be established in Chang'an. After the agreement was over, everyone showed up to King Qin together. King Qin quickly agreed to come down.

At this point, military academies have entered the construction phase.

Shangwen immediately returned to his arsenal. Shangwen was planning to build the navy on the carriage. The navy is different from the heavenly army, which relies on aircraft. The navy is different, they are ships, and the risk of the sea is no less than that of the heavenly army. However, the two services have one thing in common, that is, they are both money-burning departments.

The Celestial Army needs a large number of aircraft. The navy needs a lot of ships. The construction of these ships cannot yet be manufactured in accordance with the original shipbuilding technology. if it is like this. There is no need for the navy to be established.

The navy's combat objective is the ocean. Although Qin State is not out of the sea now. It is very rare for an inland country to have such a long-term vision to build a navy. Shangwen feels that the academies established by the Navy will move to this place in the future. This place has only rivers and no seas.
