Chapter 192 Super Battleship, "Destroy Japan"!

The training of the officers and soldiers of the Longcheng Navy is still going on. ׺°”˜˜`”°º×

Twenty warships constantly changed their formations and moved forward alternately in the sea, simulating the actual combat scene after encountering enemy warships.

There were even drills for sea rescue projects.

It simulated the emergency rescue drills of officers and soldiers falling into the water after our warships were sunk in actual combat.

The entire Longcheng Navy's maritime exercise lasted for two hours.

After watching it, Chen Huaian's praise for the Navy Admiral Qi Jiguang deepened a little bit.

He smiled and said to Qi Jiguang: "General Qi, after watching the training of the officers and soldiers of the Longcheng Navy, I couldn't help but feel excited. I want to go to sea with the officers and soldiers of the Navy to expand the territory and grab land for the Han people!"

"General Qi, you and the generals of the Navy have worked hard for more than a month!"

After that, Chen Huaian patted Qi Jiguang's shoulder meaningfully to encourage him.

Qi Jiguang replied calmly: "Your Highness, it is an honor for me, Qi Jiguang, and the officers and soldiers of the Longcheng Navy to be loyal to your Highness and the Han people;"

"Just-"

After that, Qi Jiguang hesitated.

Hmm?

Chen Huaian frowned slightly and asked with concern: "General Qi, what's wrong, is there any difficulty?"

Qi Jiguang hesitated for a moment, but still spoke his mind.

He said sincerely: "Your Highness, if we talk about other difficulties, I and the officers and soldiers of the navy can still overcome them if we grit our teeth;"

"But, the lack of warships in the Longcheng Navy is something I am really helpless about!"

"At present, these 20 warships can only carry 20,000 people at full capacity, and there are more than 180,000 soldiers in the Longcheng Navy. Even if we take turns to train on board day and night, it is still stretched;"

After a pause, Qi Jiguang continued: "It's not that I and the navy commanders haven't thought about building our own warships, but I've searched for craftsmen everywhere, but no one can build a navy warship;"

"Especially the cannons on the warships, no blacksmith or craftsman in the entire Yingzhou territory can forge them!"

"So, to this day, among the huge Longcheng navy, there are more than 180,000 soldiers, but only about 20,000 can actually go on board and fight at sea!"

After saying that, Qi Jiguang lowered his head in shame.

Hearing this news, Chen Huaian couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

In essence, this matter cannot be blamed on Qi Jiguang's lack of effort, because it is completely beyond Qi Jiguang's ability.

Fortunately, during this period, Deputy Marshal Chen Qingzhi conquered Tubo, Chang Yuchun conquered Jinan Prefecture, and Liu Ziyu conquered Kaifeng Prefecture, which has allowed Chen Huaian to accumulate hundreds of millions of points in the [Born Emperor Fate] system again.

At present, as the Dragon City army occupied more and more cities, the reopening of the Silk Road on land basically achieved self-sufficiency in food, supplies, and weapons;

Chen Huaian no longer needed to exchange food and supplies from the system mall to supplement the army.

This means that all the points he accumulated can be used to replenish the navy warships.

Chen Huaian patted Qi Jiguang on the shoulder again and said, "General Qi, I came to the navy camp to inspect this time to help you solve the shortage of navy warships."

"Don't worry, if nothing unexpected happens, the warships that you and the navy officers and soldiers have been looking forward to for a long time will be moored in the port of Wengcheng tomorrow morning!"

"Let's go back to the camp first!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

......

That night, Chen Huaian settled down in the navy camp in Wengcheng.

On the way, he also received urgent intelligence from Luo Yucheng, the former deputy commander of the Dragon City Internal Guard and the current special envoy of King Jin, from Jiangnan.

The intelligence showed that Wu Sanjia, the mighty general of the Great Xin Dynasty, would send a surprise attack on Jiangyin in three days, with the purpose of welcoming back Emperor Lingwu and calling on the troops of the world to overthrow Emperor Hongxi.

This news surprised Chen Huaian.

At the same time, it also made Chen Huaian determined to send the Dragon City Navy to Jiangyin, and try to take control of Emperor Lingwu before Wu Sanjia and Fang Tianyao fought internally.

The purpose, of course, was the imperial seal engraved with the eight characters "Received the Mandate from Heaven, Long Lived and Prospered"!

It was late at night.

Chen Huaian's tent was brightly lit, and he finally had time to wake up the [Born Emperor] system again.

[Ding! 】

[The system of the natural emperor is starting...]

As the cold and familiar mechanical synthesized sound rang in his ears, the system screen appeared again in Chen Huaian's mind.

The balance of points that can be used to exchange for military supplies is fixed at 130 million.

This time, Chen Huaian directly locked his eyes on the column of [Armament Exchange], and quickly found the "treasure ship" he had been thinking about, which was comparable to the treasure ship that Zheng He took when he sailed to the West - the super warship.

Last time, as a super warship that required a full 10 million points to exchange, Chen Huaian, who was short of money at the time, was daunted.

Now, I can finally exchange it with confidence!

Chen Huaian said: "System, exchange 1 super warship, 10 medium warships, and 20 ordinary warships!"

[The natural emperor] system: Dear host Chen Huaian, do you want to spend 120 million points to exchange for 31 warships?

"Confirm!"

Chen Huaian chose to confirm without hesitation.

[31 warships are being exchanged... Exchange successful! ]

[Ding! ]

[31 warships have been parked at the Wengcheng Wharf according to the host's request. Please check! ]

When Chen Huaian heard that all the warships had been exchanged, he finally showed a long-lost smile on his face.

The next day.

When the rising sun just jumped over the sea level, Chen Huaian and Qi Jiguang rushed to the port where the warships were parked in the first rays of morning light.

Looking at the 31 warships neatly parked in the port, both of them showed indescribable excitement on their faces.

The eyes of the two fell on the super warship at the same time.

On the sparkling sea, a super warship was quietly parked here. This super warship can be called the pinnacle of ancient shipbuilding technology.

The super battleship is 44 zhang (about 145 meters) long and 15 zhang (about 50 meters) wide. The hull adopts a "stacked beam" structure with multiple layers of wooden boards, and the outer layer is covered with iron and copper sheets. It is equipped with nine tall masts and can hang giant sails.

In terms of weapons and equipment, this super battleship is equipped with 24 cannons; it is also equipped with a large number of close combat weapons such as bows and crossbows to prepare for emergencies.

This super battleship has a load capacity of more than 7,000 tons and can accommodate more than 2,000 naval officers and soldiers.

In the same period, this super battleship is equivalent to the "aircraft carrier" of this era, a well-deserved overlord of the sea.

Chen Huaian even thought about it, this super battleship is called "Miewohao"!
