Chapter 1875 Advanced Technology
Haihan's secrecy measures in the military field are mainly aimed at Daming. After all, this country has more than 200 years of accumulated heritage, and there are still a large number of skilled craftsmen working for the country.Even though Haihan has now taken the initiative in the relationship between the two countries, he has never relaxed his guard against Daming.While showing off his muscles to Daming through various means from time to time, Haihan was careful not to let the advanced military technology he mastered and the status of the garrison deployment in various places spread out.
But for North Korea, Haihan really doesn't need to use the same method he used to deal with Daming on them.North Korea's weapon manufacturing technology is still far behind that of Ming Dynasty. As for the navigation and shipbuilding industry, it is completely different from Haihan. Competition and confrontation are impossible in the current environment.At present, Haihan only regards North Korea as a source of raw materials and a sales market for industrial products, and has no plans to bring its armed forces into the coalition of allied powers.
Li Luo suddenly remembered something, and asked Shi Diwen again: "Master Shi, it seems that this kind of warship is also installed in the Annan Navy and the Fujian Navy, so it should be sold by your country?"
Shi Diwen nodded and said: "These two countries have ordered many expedition-class warships from our country in the past few years, and our country has also transferred the drawings and construction technology of this kind of warship to them, so the two countries There are quite a few expedition-class warships in the branch navy. In addition to improving their maritime armed strength, this also has the advantage of being able to work in unison with our navy."
This is indeed a big pain point for North Korea. During the Anti-Qing War, North Korea also tried to let its troops act together with the Haihan army, but this request was politely declined by the Haihan generals many times. It is because the weapons and equipment of the two sides are too different, and the tactics used are even more different, so they cannot keep pace on the battlefield.In other words, I just don't want to be held back by the North Korean army.
Therefore, during the entire war, the Korean army single-handedly faced the stormy offensive of the Qing army in the early stage, and could only shrink behind the Haihan army's position as a logistics logistics in the later stage, and did not get anything to really fight side by side with the Haihan army Chance.Even if a military observation team is sent to the front line to watch the battle, there is no chance of actual combat after all, and the advanced tactics learned are very limited.
The other three allied forces that came to North Korea with the Haihan Army did not have the troubles that North Korea encountered in terms of coordinated operations. The two naval divisions of Annan and Fujian not only had warships produced by Haihan, but their command Almost all the officers in the system have received military training provided by Haihan.Portugal's maritime armed warfare is its own school, and Haihan also gives it full freedom of action, without forcing it to keep the same pace as the coalition fleet.
North Korea's surface forces certainly do not have the strength of the Portuguese fleet, so this example cannot be followed.It's not that Haihan can't use North Korean troops as cannon fodder, but doing so has no practical significance for the war process, and may reduce North Korea's confidence in Haihan, so when it comes to the decisive battle with the Qing army in the later stage, North Korean troops are simply allowed to withdraw The line of fire, so as not to be attacked by the Qing army as a breakthrough.
Regarding the doorway in the middle, before Li Mo went abroad, he listened to the military judge Shen Jingzhen explain it to himself, but Shen Jingzhen took into account his feelings as a son, so many things were not so straightforward, so as not to irritate the young people.But at this time, when Li Luo heard what Shi Diwen said, he naturally recalled what Shen Jingzhen had said to him. From the comparison of the two, it seems that it is not difficult to draw a conclusion-if he wants to cooperate with the Haihan army on the battlefield , it is necessary to install Haihan-style weapons and equipment first, and use various tactics and tactics formulated by Haihan in battle.
Of course, this is another misunderstanding of Li Luo. He somewhat overestimated the relationship between North Korea and Haihan.The other allied forces were able to fight side by side with Haihan because the two sides have extremely deep entanglements of interests, and have insisted on military exchanges for several years. Form a tacit cooperation on the battlefield.And North Korea has just stepped into the military alliance led by Haihan. If they want to get approval from Haihan just by installing Haihan-style warships, then the North Koreans are really thinking too much.
Li Min replied: "Master Shi, if our country can directly purchase this kind of warship and receive training from your country and learn the tactics of your navy, how long will it take to meet the combat requirements?"
Shi Diwen said: "The most important factor is to see the military quality of the troops being trained. For example, a surface force that has been training at sea for a long time and has certain actual combat experience, the speed at which it can form combat effectiveness after receiving training will definitely be Much faster than a force with no seafaring experience."
Shi Diwen paused for a moment, allowing Li Wei time to digest his views, and then continued: "My understanding of the Korean Navy is limited, and there is something wrong with what I said. I hope your son will not mind. As far as I know Most of the warships currently used by the North Korean Navy were designed and built decades ago, and the combat methods are quite different from ours. I think it may take a long time for your country to select trainees Only then can we truly grasp the tactics of our navy. This time may be one year, or it may be two years or even longer. In short, everything will not be confirmed until your country has installed this kind of warship."
Shi Diwen's statement is actually very polite. Even Haihan's own naval force takes about a year from the training of recruits to the level of being able to fight.Only sailors who have been in the army for more than two years are eligible to be selected to serve on majestic battleships.As for foreign troops such as the Fujian Navy and the Annan Navy, it took more than a year to receive training before they achieved initial results.With the status quo of the North Korean navy, it will definitely take longer to reborn.
And Shi Diwen didn't make the last sentence very clear, it was to save face for the North Koreans.The so-called commissioning does not mean that North Korea buys one or two ships and declares them to be commissioned. In order to form a real combat force, the number of new warships must be above a certain level.For example, the Fujian and Annan naval forces that sent troops to North Korea this time have six to eight expedition-class warships in their respective formations, so that some tactics formulated by Haihan can be applied on the battlefield.
But North Korea will definitely not be able to meet such conditions in a short period of time, not to mention when the shipyard on the Datong River will be completed. The order will not be delivered in a short while.Any problem in any of these links will continue to delay the formation of the North Korean navy.Therefore, no matter how urgent Li Luo's desire to strengthen the country is, his personal wishes cannot change the status quo. The combat effectiveness of the Korean navy will still not change significantly in the foreseeable future.
But fortunately, the North Korean navy is not the weakest surface armed force in this area at present. Under it, there is the Qing Dynasty, which has been repeatedly suppressed and killed by Haihan many times. That is the real surface force that has survived in name only.However, what North Korea needs to be vigilant about is that there are still many navy personnel who defected from Dengzhou in the Qing Dynasty. Whether it is sailing, shipbuilding or combat, the technology and experience of these people are still far superior to those of North Korea. Once there is room for development However, it is still not difficult for the Qing Dynasty to create a naval force capable of suppressing North Korea.
"At present, the suggestion I can give to your country is to build a shipyard as soon as possible, and then build this kind of warship in your country. This will not only train your shipbuilders, but also allow trainees to become familiar with it from the construction stage. Hull structure, which will help them to give full play to the power of the warship in battle in the future."
The suggestion given by Shi Diwen was very pertinent, and Li Luo nodded again and again when he heard it, thinking that this must also be written in the next letter sent back to China, reminding his father to implement the matter as soon as possible.
And Shi Diwen is so enthusiastic about this, so he naturally has his plans. After the Datongjiang shipyard is completed, building warships will be part of its function. In order to make full use of its production capacity, the shipyard will also receive many orders for seaborne merchant ships. .After the completion of these merchant ships, the main route will naturally be the mature route between North Korea and Zhoushan. At that time, the Zhoushan area under Shi Diwen's rule will also become one of the beneficiaries of the North Korean shipyard.
Of course, it's still the same sentence. Limited by his vision and knowledge, Li Luo's understanding of this can only stay on the surface, and it is difficult to touch the truth of the matter.Although Haihan's arrangements will indeed play a certain role in promoting the development of North Korea, these arrangements are made by Haihan out of consideration of his own interests, not for the sake of allies as Li Wei thinks.
Li Mo and his team spent most of the afternoon in the shipyard. Although Li Mo himself was a layman and didn't see anything remarkable from the construction process, he saw that the eyes of several shipbuilders who were traveling with him were shining all the time. , I tried to give them more time to observe advanced shipbuilding techniques.
Taking advantage of Shi Diwen being called by his subordinates to ask for official instructions, Li Luo also called a shipbuilder from his side to ask him if he had gained anything.
The shipbuilder replied: "Report to my lord, Haihan's strength in building this warship lies not only in the design, but also in the overall planning and arrangement of the entire shipbuilding process. Just now, the villain listened to the simple explanation of the Haihan shipbuilder. Shipbuilding has standardized operating procedures from hull lofting, blanking, material pretreatment, component processing, to later hull assembly, launching, outfitting, and sea trials, so as to ensure that the performance of each warship after it is built is completely consistent. ..."
Speaking of his profession, the shipbuilder was obviously very excited, and immediately began to express his achievements to Li Luo.It's a pity that Li Lu didn't know much about shipbuilding technology, so he couldn't understand the excitement of this subordinate seeing a new world open before his eyes.
After finally waiting for the shipbuilder to stop talking, Li Mo asked again: "Then what do you think of the director Zhang who is in charge of the shipyard?"
When Li Lu talked with Shi Diwen earlier, Zhang Qianxiang took these North Korean shipbuilders to visit nearby, and at the same time gave them some simple explanations on technical issues.
The shipbuilder immediately showed a look of admiration and said, "Director Zhang is really a man of God! If a villain can get his advice, it would be worthwhile to go across the sea! If our country can have a director like Zhang A master shipbuilder... well... this might be a bit difficult..."
Obviously, Zhang Qianxiang's achievements in the field of shipbuilding made his colleagues from North Korea look up with reverence, and they didn't even dare to hope that their own country could have an expert of Zhang Qianxiang's level.However, being able to get the guidance of this master is enough to satisfy the North Korean shipbuilder, and he has no other extravagant wishes.
Hearing this, Li Lu felt a little relieved, because it at least showed that Hai Han had come out with real skills, rather than simply dealing with overseas students sent by his country to learn technology.As for whether Zhang Qianxiang's shipbuilding technology is as high as this subordinate described, Li Lu has reservations about this. He has heard that the shipyard in Sanya is the strongest shipbuilding technology in Haihan Country. The shipbuilder should be more powerful than the person in charge of the Dinghai Port Shipyard.
Of course, if Li Luo knew that the people in charge of the two shipyards were originally father and son, he might feel relieved about this issue.
Shi Diwen did not object to Zhang Qianxiang's move to explain the shipbuilding technology to his North Korean counterparts. He believed that Zhang Qianxiang could grasp the scale of technical exchanges and would not accidentally leak the real core military secrets to the North Koreans.The father and son of the Zhang family are all officials in Haihan, and their loyalty is unquestionable. There is no need for Shi Diwen to ask for information security matters.
The most important thing is that Shi Diwen can be sure that the North Koreans have no bargaining chips to buy officials like Zhang Qianxiang. Whether it is official career, money or technology, North Korea has no conditions that can make Zhang Qianxiang tempted.If the North Koreans want to obtain shipbuilding technology from Haihan, they can only do it within the scope limited by Haihan and according to the method arranged by Haihan.
The desire for advanced technology makes the North Koreans only accept such an arrangement. In fact, it is extremely rare for them to get this kind of learning opportunity provided by Haihan.As for the political purpose behind Haihan's arrangement, it doesn't really have much meaning for them to explore, because the military strength of the two countries is indeed very different, and Haihan can use this relatively peaceful method. It is enough to make the North Koreans feel grateful to fight for North Korea's vote.
