Fukudaura.

Ma Yinglong commanded the coast guard team members to work hard for a whole morning before completing the work of prisoners, ships taking over, and material inventory.

Wang Rulong, along with several captains and several combat staff from the Staff Office, was busy formulating the next combat plan in the flagship conference room. The initial combat plan had been completed. The most urgent one was to capture the Garen ship. The two items of eliminating the Matsuura Party and establishing authority and helping the Danlu Chamber of Commerce monopolize trade with Japan, which required them to achieve.

Speaking of which, these two things are actually inseparable from each other. In the Age of Discovery, war and trade were like twins, always closely linked.

The so-called "A cannon fires, ten thousand taels of gold" is easier to unify the idea that money-lossing transactions cannot be done, and even more so in wars. If war cannot bring positive benefits, it is harmful wars and must be resolutely avoided.

The purpose of Mr. Zhao to set up a staff officer in the security area is to conduct quantitative management of the war.

The task of the Advisory Office is to formulate plans for all wars and calculate the expenses and benefits of the entire campaign and each battle. In order to avoid the commander's over-hearted mind, blindly expanding the scale of the war, increasing the cost of war, and reducing the benefits of war.

Of course, Zhao Hao also considered that the staff office lacked experience in the early days of its establishment, and was prone to making plans randomly and deviated from reality. For example, blindly demanding to save ammunition, being too conservative or radical, he brought the fleet he had worked hard to build into the ditch. So he first asked Wang Rulong to serve as the chief of staff and formulated plans for himself, so he would not be able to tie himself up or overestimate himself, right?

As for the future, let’s talk about it when the Staff Office starts to operate first...

Mr. Zhao had a leisurely rest in the morning. In fact, he had always been very leisurely. Since he promised Wang Rulong not to command blindly, he had to count his words. From the perspective of not causing trouble, he was a good boss. Mr. Zhao was simply the best boss in the world.

It was not until 11:30 that he was called by Secretary Ma and allowed her to wash and dress. It was not until she came out of the bedroom and sat at the dining table in the outside room that she regained her energy.

There is still some time left before eating. Mr. Zhao was drinking hot milk and chatting with his eldest nephew... In order to ensure the growth and development of the young master, Wang Rulong specially asked Haierge to raise a cow on the flagship. The group is based on Mr. Zhao, and making him strong is a blessing for everyone.

Of course, my eldest nephew also had milk, but he only focused on lowering his head and writing and painting, and had no time to drink milk.

"Are you trying to improve the Rockets?" Zhao Hao picked up a piece of manuscript paper and looked at the sketch above.

"Yes, uncle." The eldest nephew came to Zhao Hao to determine the research direction. Although he felt that he was still talented in weapon design, he felt that compared with his respected uncle, Mr. Wang met Wang Mazi, he was a little worse than that.

On every wrong path of invention and creation, my uncle is the beacon of his own when he was trekking and the beacon of guiding himself!

Zhao Shizhen has become accustomed to asking his uncle if he is right whenever he has new ideas. This not only allows him to avoid many detours, but also constantly obtain crucial new inspiration.

"By watching these two battles, I feel that the Thunderbolt Rockets have great potential." Zhao Shizhen said with a quick look and agility. If this thing can improve the range and accuracy of the lower head, it will be a powerful supplement to the artillery!"

"Um." Zhao Hao nodded with a smile. It was no surprise that Zhao Shizhen had such a view.

In another time and space, the British improved Congreve rockets based on the Ming Dynasty Iron-shell Rockets, which were widely used in the Napoleonic Wars once they were equipped, and they were very successful in several appearances.

Afterwards, under the command of Congrif, the British Navy fired about 25,000 rockets at Copenhagen, almost burning the city to white ground and forcing Denmark to surrender. During the Battle of Leipzig in 1812, the British rocket launcher troops in the Swedish army used a fierce shooting to scatter a team of French troops like an ant pile.

What made the Chinese people sigh was that the British army used a large number of these rockets in the two Opium Wars to attack the military camps and burn the cities, which made the Qing army frightened. In the Battle of Bali Bridge, Senggelinqin's Mongolian cavalry was defeated by the "Red and Barbarian Firearm" that was dragged with red tail flames and roaring... It can only be said that he was not alive and deserved!

Such a sharp firearm will naturally attract the attention of a firearm genius like Zhao Shizhen who has produced one for hundreds of years.

Of course, the disadvantages of this kind of rocket are also obvious, one is that it has low accuracy and does not hit the surface. The other is that its trajectory is strange, and once the wind direction changes, it may come back and hurt its own people. Therefore, it cannot shake the protagonist status of the cannon. Moreover, when the new cannon appears, it will soon withdraw from the stage until Katyusha sings the moving song.

However, the flaws do not conceal the merits. This kind of thing is indeed a useful supplement to the artillery at present. And the most important thing is that the Ming Dynasty has developed a large iron-shelled rocket that is basically usable. On this basis, it is not difficult to improve the construction of the Congreve rocket with simple production and low process requirements.

Even if it is not possible to create a blasting warhead for the time being due to gunpowder, it is still a pleasure to tear the sails with sharp arrows and burn the house with a tail flame?

"It's not difficult to improve the range. The key to this thing lies in balance." Zhao Hao looked at the drawings in his hand and pointed carefully: "Just test the length of the arrow, tail, and balance rod repeatedly to find the most suitable combination. Then think of a way on the launcher to see if it can be fired in the tube and improve the accuracy, but don't have too much hope, this thing will be in volume at any time."

Mr. Zhao silently added in his heart, in addition to a certain rabbit's precisely guided rocket launcher...

"Is that right?" Zhao Shizhen said a little disappointed: "I thought I could rely on this thing to enter Kyoto and capture Oda City alive."

"Puff..." Zhao Hao almost bleeded his breasts and coughed repeatedly, "You haven't forgotten yet?"

"Why should I do in Japan?" Zhao Shizhen said seriously: "My nephew has always aimed at this!"

"Ahem, I really have ambition!" Zhao Gongzi said ashamed: "But I, Ashi is not in Kyoto; Er, although she is still very young, she is already the mother of the child." After a pause, he smiled strangely and said, "But her daughter is also very handsome, why don't you wait?"

"No, I just want Oda City!" Zhao Shizhen said unswervingly: "Uncle, I will definitely build a more powerful firearm to help you sweep Japan and let them give them to you!"

"Okay, ambitious." Zhao Hao exclaimed, thinking that in a few years, Ashi would become a widow. Then see if there is any chance to do it for his eldest nephew.

However, he did not dare to tell his nephew that the Japanese ladies of this era had 80% of them with heavy pink on their faces and bald eyebrows and black teeth. I hope Shizhen would not feel disillusioned by then.

At this time, Qiaoqiao started serving the dishes, and the two tacitly ended the topic.

After a morning of discussion, the Advisory Office came up with the next plan. After the meeting was over, Wang Rulong quickly ran to report to Mr. Zhao. He missed the meal when it was late.

But when they saw Ma Yinglong hurriedly came over with a cowhide briefcase, the two of them looked at each other and smiled.

"please!"

"please!"

After reporting, the two went into the house to meet the young master.

"Haha, I knew you two were coming to have a free meal again." Zhao Hao couldn't help laughing, pointing to the table of rich dishes and said, "Look, I specifically instruct Sister Qiaoqiao to reward you well!"

After winning the battle, the two of them naturally felt particularly handsome. They smiled and thanked the young master, and politely thanked Miss Qiaoqiao, so they happily went to the table for dinner.

Qiaoqiao was also very happy. This time she went to sea, she received unprecedented praise from senior police officers. Moreover, she found that the young master had dinner with these police officers who were reincarnated as hungry ghosts, and would eat two more bowls each time. So she pursed her lips and went to the kitchen with great enthusiasm to continue her work.

"Have the police officers improved their food at noon?" Zhao Hao asked with concern as he looked at the two people who were sweeping the clouds.

"Yeah, let the kitchen stew rice and meat for everyone at noon and send it to the post. When it's time to rest in the evening, you'll have a good meal." Logistics support is also under the responsibility of the police committee member. Ma Yinglong's work is reliable. He doesn't have to worry about Mr. Zhao when he says this.

Wang Rulong and Ma Yinglong were indeed hungry. From midnight to now, they had eaten a few bites of dry food to satisfy their hunger. Now they were caught and still not letting go of their stomachs?

After eating 70% or 80% full, Ma Yinglong poured out his mouth and reported the statistical results to Mr. Zhao.

"There was no death in the battle last night, but two were drowned." Ma Yinglong said: "One is a Marine. When he was on the sailing boat, he fell into the water. He drowned when he caught it."

"Damn it, the red-haired ghost's ship is too high." Wang Rulong chewed the pieces of chicken bones hard and cursed: "It would be strange if there was nothing wrong with climbing Mount Hua."

"The other one is the sailor on the 208 ship. After the battle, I found that I couldn't find it after the name was over. I should have fallen into the water." Ma Yinglong sighed and said, "This second-level policeman is even more miserable. He lives without seeing anyone, dies without seeing a body, and no one is found at dawn."

"Oh..." Mr. Zhao also sighed, and for his so-called ideal, the list of victims had become longer.

"Young Master, don't be picky anymore. This time it has exceeded expectations!" Wang Rulong, a long-standing general who has been through the battlefield, naturally would not pretend to be hypocritical and said casually: "According to the estimates of the Staff Office, it would be better to have dozens of brothers in this battle."

"This is because the enemy did not fire the guns. Secondly, after they were all equipped with bronze cannons, the guns were much safer. The guns were fired so fiercely last night, and only two cannons exploded, and no one was injured!" As he said that, he stretched out his big hand like a bear's paw, patted Zhao Shizhen's back heavily, and laughed:

"You cannon king have made great contributions!"

Zhao Shizhen almost let him take a picture of the soup bowl, rubbed his back and smiled bitterly.

Mr. Zhao almost laughed and just called his eldest nephew, he had to find a few more Japanese women for him!
Chapter completed!
