President Meng is satisfied with this lieutenant colonel, mainly because this crazy enough soldier is to be crazy, not crazy means that he has no ability, President Meng will not worry about the problem of control, as long as you have the ability, the army has the discipline of the army, not by feeling to control people, but by discipline to control, this will begin the process of regularization of his army.For the construction of the army, President Meng can be described as painstaking, not to mention that there are no officers of their own, even if China already has excellent officers, in the early days of the army, President Meng also hoped that foreigners would guide and manage the army, what kind of character the Chinese are, President Meng is very clear, or foreign monks are more able to chant scriptures.Like the national football team, it is useless not to invite foreign teachers and not insist on inviting high-level foreign teachers, otherwise there will be various factions in the army, which is a headache.These soldiers are divided into several grades according to their experience and rank, the highest ones have an annual salary of 200 taels of Chinese official silver, and the lowest has 20 taels of Chinese official silver, which is already a very high salary.This is still the salary of skilled workers, most of the small workers, than half of this wage, at this time in China's per capita income measurement, to be able to work in Klinsmann is already a very good treatment.What's more, the economic crisis in the United States is serious at this time, and these people can't eat, so they don't follow President Meng and President Meng directly appoint Lieutenant Colonel Rob Cles as the chief of the naval staff of the Eastern Hawaiian Kingdom and the commander of the fleet, and he is even more crazy with this guy in his thirties, this guy is originally an official fan.Although President Moe's navy only has one shipside gun ironclad, and this shipside gun ironclad only has a hundred retired naval soldiers hired, it still gives Comrade Rob Criss a taste of being the boss.President Meng saw that it was not good, so he had to leave with the 2,125 tons of gold and more than 1,000 technicians who were secretly transported to the freighter, although the procurement of armaments was not ideal, but he could make so much money and have so many technical personnel on the network, President Meng was still happy As for the industrial procurement in the United States, it was also very good, due to the economic depression, the economic crisis was the most violent time, and the equipment at this time was bought casually, including the most advanced equipment in energy mining and mining mining, before the construction of DanzhouThe establishment of each mining site has long been in the early planning, and the purchase of industrial equipment is also very complete, and it is only a matter of time before you build your own mine.The two medium-sized ocean-going vessels had three masts, two wooden ones that were temporarily added for the addition of sails, and one iron one, 18 meters long, and sail rigging, which were removed and only one iron mast remained.The ship is 7,193 meters long, 1,036 meters wide, 8 meters draft, 5,000 tons of displacement, 530 tons of normal coal, 900 tons of maximum coal, 2 steam engines, 4 round coal-fired boilers, two-shaft propulsion, 2,800 horsepower of the main engine, 15 knots, and 300,400 people, which is enough for a freighter.It's just that the number is not enough, two freighters, there must be frigates, there are no frigates, if you want to sail far, you can only partner with the fleets of other countries, and the Americans are controlling themselves.Also, why do people give you a strong army to be funny Business is also but, President Meng is not a personality that can be easily controlled by others As for this shipside cannon ironclad ship, this is the oldest ironclad ship, an ironclad ship in the mid-60s of the 19th century.The ironclad ships of this period had the same structure and guns arranged along the side of the wooden warships of the Sail Age, except that steam engines and chimneys were added.At that time, it was a large ocean-going main ironclad ship, and it was also a rare large ironclad ship with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons at that time.Also a rare 5-masted battleship.The ramming bow, the stern of the cruiser, and the gunners are arranged on the side along the length of the hull, which is suitable for fighting in columns, and can also be called battleships.But there is only one president of Meng, and there is no need to line up, if you want to be horizontal, you can be in a column.The use of steam engine sail hybrid can save coal, increase endurance, and exercise the ability of the crew to control the sail equipment.The disadvantage is that the sail equipment is easily destroyed by the artillery of enemy ships in battle.It was completed on December 30, 1868.The length of the ship is 124 meters, the width is 1814 meters, and the draft is 846 meters; The displacement is 10690 tons.It adopts steam and sail hybrid, single-shaft propulsion, the power "Manadoo" is 6700 horsepower, and the speed is 1432 knots; "Diligence Court" 6,867 hp at 148 knots; Northumberland has 6,545 hp and a speed of 1,413 knots.This type of ship belongs to the early ironclad ships, and the armor thickness is 55 inches-45 inches.The whole ship has a strength of 800 people.Artillery: 4 9-inch front-loading rifled guns, 24 8-inch front-loading rifled guns, 8 24-pounder front-loading smoothbore guns.Princess Katrina Kafu stood on the deck screaming and jumping, "Okay, now we finally have our own warship, congratulations, president" Although President Meng felt that it was not enough, but he had already left, he still accepted it calmly, nodded and said, "Well, it's very good." ”Looking at the two medium-sized ocean-going freighters under the escort of the ironclad ship, and the small fleet composed of three ships, this makes President Meng very proud, think about it, why do people want to help you in the United States is to rob money and people, and finally take away three ships, which is already quite good."
The quality of these rifles seems to be inferior to the Mauser Model 1871 rifle that we bought from Germany."
Wang Zhankui pulled the bolt and fired a shot into the distance, but there was no response on the empty sea, "It can only be used by the patrol police." ”President Meng nodded and said: "Yes, it is not suitable for the army, and, it seems that the Americans will not export weapons to us in the future, these things can only be used by the reserve army and the police academy, and it is not bad for everyone to practice marksmanship."
If you want a large area of equipment, you still need Mauser rifles and Krupp cannons" Wang Zhankui nodded and said: "President rest assured, aren't you a German nobleman, it seems that you still have a knighthood" President Meng snorted, "There is such a thing, the German minister Dudek helped me get it, it seems to be called a baron, I don't know if I went to Europe, people don't buy it This time I went to Europe, or in the name of the Kingdom of Eastern Hawaii, in the name of preparing for the Olympic Games, to engage in diplomacy, try to let more people recognize us, establish diplomatic relations, and trade will be convenient in the future." ”t1706231537:
