But no one dared to approach these warships that were listed as restricted areas without permission from the military.The management of the naval base is stricter than that of the army base. After the guests who came to watch the competition get off the ship, they can only follow the sailors who lead the way to the designated place to wait, instead of being in a larger area like yesterday in the army base. Feel free to move around.
Of course, such measures seemed normal to Zhang Jinbao. After all, these warships were all the treasures of the Haihan Army, and foreigners couldn't buy them if they wanted to. Naturally, they couldn't have the opportunity to learn about the navy's various technical secrets.
Since it is a competition for naval sports, the content must be mainly water sports, and the competition venue is set in a large swimming pool at the base.For most of the audience present, it was probably the first time they saw such a large swimming pool.
The large swimming pool in the naval base is built according to the standard competition swimming pool, with a length of 50 meters and eight lanes, all of which are tiled.There are two swimming pools like this, one in the south and one in the north.When the sailors train their swimming ability, they all start in the swimming pool, and they will gradually transition to natural waters after they have a certain foundation.
For safety reasons, the military did not put swimming events directly on the sea, but arranged them in the swimming pool of the base, but this is more convenient for the audience to watch, and there is no need to stretch their necks to find targets among the waves up.
The competitions arranged by the navy were simple and crude. The morning was all about swimming, which was divided into several categories: racing swimming, water obstacle course, and armed swimming.Such an intensive schedule will be a great test for each team's arrangement of players and physical strength distribution. Even the strong will find it difficult to participate in multiple competitions in a row.
In the afternoon, there is an event that needs to go to the sea to compete, but it is only a one-man windsurfing race on the sea, so the confrontation can only be regarded as mediocre.
The navy's competition projects mainly focus on physical fitness and water quality, and the main indicators of the test are the physical fitness of the participants.However, due to limited conditions, advanced skills such as marching and fighting at sea and commanding operations are difficult to arrange in this kind of competition.
"My lord, what do you think of today's competition?" Zheng Zuo sat next to Li Yi today, and after he took his seat, he took the initiative to chat with Li Yi.
Li Xuan felt that he was not qualified to comment on the strength of other families, so he said modestly: "Our country is not good at naval warfare, and today I am afraid that it is only at the level of accompanying runners."
Zheng Zuo smiled and said: "The prince is modest...then who is stronger between my country and the Xu family army?"
"This... the little prince is too embarrassing!" Li Yan felt that this question was a bit dangerous, and he could easily offend people no matter which side he chose.
Zheng Zuo said: "You don't have to feel embarrassed. Do you and I really regard this martial arts competition as a big event? I just want to hear your opinion, but it doesn't matter."
Li Yan pondered his words silently, and then responded: "From the results of yesterday's contest, we can see that the strength of your country and the Xu family's army is on par. It mainly depends on how well you perform on the spot! From my point of view, today should be the two of you. Everyone is vying for the top spot.”
Zheng Zuo laughed at himself and said: "Then the prince may have misjudged his eyes. To compete in these water sports, our country is really not the opponent of Xu Jiajun... They are very strong, and you will know later."
Li Yan didn't understand what it meant, but Zheng Zuo's tone didn't seem like a humble statement.At the moment, I am also a little curious about how strong the Xu family army can make Zheng Zuo take the initiative to admit defeat.
Li Yan didn't know that in the past few competitions, Xu Jiajun had won the first place in the naval project. Although Annan's army almost followed closely behind and won the second place, the gap between them was not You can catch up if you work hard.
The reason why Xu Jiajun has such a big advantage in naval projects is mainly because they have invested heavily in the early stage, and they have always attached great importance to the introduction of comprehensive military technology from Haihan. Chinese.Although the hardware is indeed inferior to the Haihan Navy, the quality of individual soldiers has actually far exceeded the average level of the Daming Navy.
Although Annan also attached great importance to the construction of maritime armaments, because of the dragged down by the civil war, the economic situation was not ideal, so that he had to hand over the natural good port on the coastline to Haihan for management, in exchange for Haihan's military aid .
In terms of military budget, Annan's army is far from being able to compare with the rich and powerful Xu's army, so there is naturally a significant gap in training effects.Zheng Zuo also understands that the gap will not be caught up in a while. Only when Annan's own economic situation improves and he can get more money to invest in naval training, can he hope to catch up with Xu Jiajun.
In fact, among the ten teams participating in this competition, only Xu Jiajun started out as a navy division, and the emphasis on sailor training is indeed unparalleled.Xu Xinsu's requirement for the naval forces under his command is to be on par with the Haihan Navy. Since the gap in weapons and equipment cannot be erased, he can only make more efforts in training.
Sure enough, after the start of the competition, Xu Jiajun's advantage was significantly stronger than yesterday's. Almost no team could pose a real threat to him, and he quickly won the first place in several swimming competitions.
"Where did your Xu Jiajun recruit such outstanding people?" Even Yan Chujie couldn't help asking Xu Yuxing after reading it.Every year among the soldiers sent from Fujian for training, there are several good swimmers who are even better than the swimmers in their own navy. Yan Chujie also wants to know how Xu Jiajun trained these people.
Xu Yuxing smiled lightly and said, "Lord Yan is overrated. In fact, most of these people are fishermen and sailors, and they have only been familiar with water skills since childhood. But as long as they get decent grades here, they can at least be general managers when they return to Fujian. What do you think?" Can these people not work hard?"
Getting promoted and getting rich is the simplest and most practical reward for these people. The Xu family has enough resources to completely change their lives. These people are naturally very hardworking.
But even so, Yan Chujie believes that such talents are not just a handful. Before they are sent to Haihan for training, they should have been selected layer by layer, and they have already received long-term rigorous training in Fujian. , Only by fully preparing for the subjects that will be tested during the training period can we have such outstanding performance.
But Zhang Jinbao didn't care about the soldiers from all over the world flopping about in the swimming pool. When he saw Li Nai got up and left the stands, he guessed that the other party was going to make things easier, so he followed him out.
Zhang Jinbao took the initiative to talk to Li Nai on the way back, pretending to care about Jin Dun's performance in the competition today, and then changed the topic to the cooperation in running schools.
Li Nai knew it after hearing the string song, and said proactively: "It's time for this, how about we leave for Danzhou together tomorrow afternoon?"
Zhang Jinbao has been going around for a long time just to finalize the matter with Li Nai. Since the other party brought it up, he responded smoothly: "Then it's settled. If the third young master is free tomorrow at noon, you can make an appointment next time." Dong, have a light meal together?"
Li Nai said: "I already have an appointment with the young prince Annan at noon tomorrow, and I appreciate Dean Zhang's kindness. I will send someone to pick up Dean Zhang and his party at the inn tomorrow. When the time comes, you can board the ship first and wait for me. When the work is done, we will depart from Hong Kong.”
Li Nai arranged the matter very well, Zhang Jinbao couldn't find any faults, so he hurriedly bowed to thank him, expressing that he would entertain Li Nai as a landlord after arriving in Danzhou.
The game in the morning was uneventful, Xu Jiajun's performance can be described as thriving, while other teams can only compete for the second or third place.Only the last item of armed swimming, because it is relatively closer to actual combat, made the audience finally interested.
The event requires contestants to complete five round trips in the pool with their paraphernalia, including a rifle.And after landing at the end, you have to shoot at the target at the designated location-if the rifle gets into the water during the swim, this task will obviously be difficult to complete.The final score is only valid if all the tasks are completed, so even if you complete the swimming ashore first, you may not be able to secure the first place.
Considering that the water in the swimming pool does not flow, the difficulty of this project is actually much easier than the actual situation. The key is to have enough physical fitness and swimming skills to complete this mile-long swim.
Of course, this project is also an original creation of the Haihan Army. The Marine Corps has included armed swimming in its training subjects, and has applied this special combat method many times in actual combat.However, the equipment of the Marine Corps is even more advanced. When performing armed swimming tasks, each person will receive a leather inflatable float to reduce the load on the soldiers in the water.
The military's requirement for foreign students is only to swim in the swimming pool. As for whether they will go to rivers, lakes and seas to practice after they return, Haihan doesn't care.In the end, Xu Jiajun still won the first place in this project, but the advantage has been reduced a lot compared to the previous projects.
After lunch, the officials arranged a small event for the guests to visit the Haihan Military Museum located here.For the vast majority of people, this is the first time they have stepped into this familiar yet unfamiliar military base, and it is hard to say whether there will be a next chance. Naturally, they will not miss this officially arranged event.
The Haihan Military Museum is usually not open to the public. Generally, only recruits and foreign guests are arranged to visit this place. During special periods, groups such as students are also organized to come here to receive patriotic education.
This place gathers all the historical materials of military operations from the beginning of Haihan to Sanya. The earliest ones include bows, arrows, waist knives and other weapons seized by the Ming army during the landing period, and the first musket and the first door that Haihan trial-produced by itself. Artillery and more.
The most exhibited in the museum are the various trophies seized by the Haihan Army in various periods of combat operations, including the pirate weapons captured by defeating the Liuxiang Fleet at the mouth of the Pearl River, and the defenders' flags captured after breaking through the city of Hue in Annan. Afterwards, there were all kinds of trophies from the Netherlands, Spain, Britain, Manchuria, Japan and other countries, which were dazzling.
The visitors from their own countries are naturally very proud, which further confirms the invincibility of the Haihan Army, while the guests from other countries can't help but have some subtle emotions.
Su Keyi noticed that the Dutch weapons and equipment left over from the Battle of Nanri Island and the Battle of Penghu were displayed here, including the personal saber of the commander of the Nanri Island Battle, Van der Wegen, and the armistice signed by Hans, the chief executive of Dayuan Port. Protocol replicas - the real ones should be kept in Fort Victory.
These things symbolize the many failures that the East India Company suffered under the Haihan Army in the early years. It is precisely because of these wars that the special diplomatic relationship between the two sides has formed today. Take a compromise attitude in exchange for being able to continue to participate in trade in the northern region.
Su Keyi was not the only one who harbored such complicated emotions, and Fei Cexian's mood at this time was not much better.The place where you enter the door is where Haihan was captured by a Ming army patrol when he landed here. Now it looks full of irony.If the Ming army stationed in Yacheng could drive the Haihan people out of this place, then perhaps there would be no later Haihan country.
But this kind of thought only flashed through Fei Cexian's mind, and was rejected by him as too absurd.After all, the military strength of the Haihan people lies here. With the small number of guards stationed in a remote small county, how can they beat the well-equipped Haihan people.Just the few steel giant ships docked in Victory Harbor are enough to make people terrified, and how can they have the courage to fight against them.
Of course, Haihan's combat experience against Daming is far more than this. In fact, the main direction of Haihan's outward expansion of its sphere of influence has always been the coast of Daming.And many of the furnishings in this museum are related to these histories.Almost every Da Ming territory occupied by Hai Han has related items on display here. To Fei Cexian, it is a documentary of the process of Daming being encroached by Hai Han.
Seeing such historical facts as an envoy of the Ming Dynasty, it is naturally difficult to pretend to be calm and calm, but he is not good at losing his temper in front of distinguished guests from all over the world, otherwise he will only appear to be too bad-mannered.In order to avoid embarrassment, Fei Cexian could only choose to walk quickly to other places in the museum to see the trophies captured by Spain, Manchu and other countries.
Li Yan watched it with gusto. He didn't know there was such a place in Sanya, otherwise he would have asked Haihan to visit.In particular, the weapons and equipment of the Haihan Army displayed here in the past made him greedy. Most of these guns, artillery and other equipment were not for sale in Haihan, and they could only be enjoyed for a while.
Li Yan suddenly remembered that the Haihan officials had announced at the dinner party a few days ago that they would arrange a weapon display event after the martial arts competition, and they didn't know what new gadgets they would see.
