Chapter 3048
The seemingly simple inventory and shipment of materials took five days.During this process, Wang Anbang also truly felt the complexity of military operations for the first time—war does not just exist on the battlefield line of fire, but starts from the preparation stage.
A large amount of materials needs to be prepared before the war, because once the war starts, many materials with a long production cycle will not be replenished in time.In a special situation like the North American colonial area, which relies heavily on domestic supplies, it is necessary to calculate carefully before the war, and formulate the preparation quantity and use plan of each material.
Of course, Wang Anbang continued to spare no effort to fight for himself the chance to play these days, but the effect was not satisfactory.The persuasion work he did to his mother at home did not have the effect he expected at all.
Seeing that the time for Wang Anguo's departure was approaching, Wang Anbang was even more anxious, worried that he would miss this opportunity.
Finally, it was the day when the troops set off. Wang Anguo got up early in the morning, packed up and came out, but saw that Wang Anbang was fully armed and was waiting at the gate with his horse.
Wang Anguo smiled and said, "You don't plan to run away from home, do you?"
Wang Anbang said sternly, "Brother, I have obtained permission from my parents to carry out missions with you."
Wang Anguo looked at him in disbelief and said, "How did you convince your mother to agree?"
Wang Anbang said: "I knelt in the courtyard all night, but she wouldn't let me out, so I kept kneeling, and I still couldn't hold back after all."
Wang Anguo couldn't help sighing when he heard the words, and didn't know how to evaluate his methods for a moment.Rather than persuasion, it would be more accurate to say coercion.
At this time, Wang Tom also came out with the mother of the two brothers. Wang Anbang's mother was even more worried, obviously very worried about her son's trip.
Tom Wang's expression was normal, he just gave a few words of advice, and then waved his hands to let the brothers go.
The two brothers knelt down and kowtowed to their parents, then got up and rode away.
Tom Wang saw the two women watching their son's back and weeping silently, so he could only comfort him with gentle words: "Sooner or later, my Wang family's children will go to the battlefield. I am very satisfied with their courage. The troops brought by Anguo With strong soldiers and strong horses, you won’t suffer even if you fight, so don’t worry too much.”
Having said that, the mother of the son traveled thousands of miles worried, knowing that the child would be at risk, the guarantee from Wang Tom inevitably seemed a little weak, after all, it was not so easy for the two mothers to let go.
However, Wang Anbang at this time did not have such a consciousness. For him, after many days of hard work, he finally achieved his goal. This is simply a huge victory against the authority of his parents.
When the two brothers arrived at the military port, the troops for the expedition had already assembled on the pier.After Wang Anguo confirmed the situation to the commanders of the various troops, he ordered the troops to board the ship and prepare to set off.
Wang Tom specially dispatched a Majestic-class warship, the Weizhi, as the flagship of the southward fleet.
The naval forces in the North American colonial area currently only have two majestic-class warships, and they are all old ships with a relatively long service life. Repairs and maintenance are not easy, so they are usually dispatched infrequently.
Allocating a ship this time to Wang Anguo's appearance was a considerable expense.However, this majestic-class battleship will not be stationed in the southern port, because the local port facilities are poor, and it is temporarily unable to provide daily maintenance for it. It can only return to Jinshan Port immediately after completing the mission.
Wang Anbang had only boarded a ship to visit Majestic-class warships before, but this was the first time he had ever set sail on such a warship, and he was very excited after boarding the ship.
Seeing this, Wang Anguo smiled and said: "My own boat, why do you seem to see an incredible treasure!"
"This boat can't go out to sea twice a year. It's such a rare opportunity!" Wang Anbang stroked the hull and exclaimed in admiration, "Look at the rudder, it's already covered with pulp!"
The captain next to him was also Wang Tom's old subordinate, and he responded after hearing the words: "Master Anbang, this steering wheel is older than you, so it must be covered!"
Although it was all a joke, Wang Anguo was not touched when he heard it.
A shipyard has been built in Jinshan Port, which mainly provides shipbuilding and maintenance services for the local garrison.However, due to limited technical capabilities, it is still relatively difficult to build even small-tonnage exploration-class warships, and the construction period is much longer than that of domestic shipyards.
As for the main battleship of the Majestic class, the construction project must be presided over by senior engineers with relevant experience, and this is what the Jinshan Port Shipyard lacks.
So far, Tom Wang is the only real "expert" in the shipyard.But with his identity and responsibilities, it is obviously impossible to leave the business at hand and work as a full-time engineer in the shipyard.
Having said that, if he could really build the Majestic-class warships by himself, Wang Tom would no longer have to treat these two old warships with only a handful of times a year at sea as treasures.
Old is old, but the combat effectiveness of Majestic-class battleships in this era still cannot be underestimated.It still has a significant performance advantage against contemporary Western sailing warships.
Moreover, many of the equipment on board can be upgraded through subsequent upgrades, so that the overall combat effectiveness will continue to be steadily improved.
For example, the cannons, rigging and other equipment on the Weizhi have undergone at least one upgrade.Although the combat effectiveness may not be as good as the Majestic C-1648 improved model launched after [-], it is at least stronger than the earliest original models.
But in order to get rid of such a passive situation, improving the technical strength of the shipyard is the only solution.It's just that it's really not easy to realize this point. Just introducing technical personnel from China is facing various difficulties.
Those shipbuilding engineers who are really capable go to any shipyard in the country. In contrast, the North American colonial area does not have any advantages at all. People persuaded to quit.
"Brother, let's go to the second deck to see the naval guns!" Unexpectedly, Wang Anbang didn't know how his elder brother felt at this time, so he dragged Wang Anguo to look elsewhere.
Wang Anguo said seriously: "Before you set off, you told your father that you will strictly observe military discipline outside, and you forgot so soon?"
Wang Anbang immediately stopped and put away his smile, not daring to smile any more.It wasn't the first time he went out with the army to perform a mission. Naturally, he knew that military discipline was the number one priority in the army. It was just that this mission was unusual, and it was an opportunity he had fought so hard to get to participate. He was a little too excited for a while. Forget about your identity at this time.
After the personnel and materials of each ship were boarded, the information was quickly collected on the Weizhi by the staff on the dock.At this time, the self-inspection of various departments of the Wei Zhi had also ended, and Wang Anguo ordered to lift the anchor and hoist the sails.The other ships of the fleet followed the Wei Zhi and set off one after another, heading for the Golden Gate Strait on the north side of the military port.
