Chapter 2670

Li Zhi tried very hard to understand the professional terms mentioned by Shi Chengwu in the explanation, but it seemed not easy to do. Although he visited the local shipyard many times when he was studying abroad in Sanya, and spent a lot of time

He spent a lot of time going to the Sanya Library to study Haihan's shipbuilding technology, but after only a dozen years, the professional knowledge he mastered seemed to be unable to keep up with Haihan's development speed in this field.

The situation of the two senior military officials Shen Xueyi and An Daoshi who followed Li Xie was not much better than him. Both of them had received training and further training in the Haihan Army many times, and they also generally understood the Haihan Navy battleship.

It is evolving in the direction of large tonnage and strong firepower, but many of Haihan's military technologies are kept secret from the outside world, and the relevant theories and research processes are kept secret. When they are unveiled, they are already finished products, just like this Zhoushan.

.

This Zhoushan is the result of integrating a lot of new technologies that they have never been exposed to. Shi Chengwu's explanation is difficult to explain in detail the design ideas of this ship, but this warship that went abroad for the first time was regarded as

The fleet flagship is enough to show that its combat effectiveness is by no means ordinary.

The huge combined fleet filed forward along the Han River, with flags fluttering on the masts. The entire fleet was more than ten miles long from beginning to end. The scene was spectacular. Fishing boats and cargo ships on the river moved out of the way and voluntarily gave up the channel in the center of the river to this fleet.

On the river not far behind the fleet, there were a number of sailboats also sailing down the river. Among them were the boats of North Korean officials who wanted to accompany the fleet, as well as people who wanted to watch the fun.

Organize to follow. However, the civilian ships watching the excitement did not dare to follow too closely, lest they be suspected of spying on military affairs.

According to the exercise arrangement agreed upon by the two countries, the fleet will conduct a series of joint maritime operations in the open sea west of Ganghwa Island. Following the practice of past maritime military exercises, a warning zone will be set up around the exercise waters, and North Korean naval vessels will

Cruise around the surrounding waters and keep out irrelevant ships as much as possible.

However, North Korea clearly intends to use this military exercise to show off its force and create influence, so it has not set up a warning zone that prohibits civilian ships from entering. As long as the onlookers are brave enough and are not afraid of being affected by the artillery fire during the exercise, they can also

The boat sailed nearby to watch.

North Korean officials don't take the safety of their own people seriously, and Haihan's side certainly doesn't care either. They just want as many people to watch as possible.

Of course, after the exercise began, there were actually very few civilian ships that had the courage to get close. The speed and steering ability of civilian ships were far inferior to those of these warships, and the gap was quickly widened when they reached the sea.

Moreover, the combined fleet forms a formation when it reaches the sea, and the sea area it covers is far more than the point on the river. If civilian ships get too close and the fleet's formation changes, it is easy to get trapped. It is just a matter of watching the excitement from the outside.

It would be a different matter if the combined fleet was caught in the middle.

Orders were issued from the bridge of the Zhoushan, and then quickly conveyed to other ships of the combined fleet through semaphores, fireworks, etc.

Although the North Korean fleet participating in the exercise is still a "naval force" in name, it is actually a new force built entirely in accordance with the Haihan Navy standards. In addition, it has been continuously running in with the Haihan Navy over the years and can now seamlessly integrate into the navy.

In the combat operations of the Han Navy - at least it can reach this level in military exercises.

"I have to say that the training level of your country's naval fleet has improved significantly compared with previous years." Wang Anguo, the commander of this military exercise, also expressed his unstinting appreciation for the performance of the North Korean navy.

Youjia: "If our country has a combat mission in the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea next time, I will be happy to ask your navy to join the operation."

This compliment made Li Xie feel proud, and he immediately instructed Shen Xueyi to give silver rewards to all participating officers and soldiers after the exercise. Li Xie didn't care whether Wang Anguo's praise was a polite word or a sincere feeling, as long as he

Representative Haihan only needs to recognize the combat effectiveness of the North Korean Navy.

Of course, whether it is Haihan or North Korea, theoretically there is no opponent worthy of fighting in the Northeast Asian waters. Even the so-called combat missions are not too risky. Li Zhen does not need to worry about his elite troops carrying out the mission.

Large losses occurred during the process.

On the first day of the military exercise, the two sides focused on practicing maritime reconnaissance, search and rescue, splitting forces and joint attack. The exercise went very smoothly, and Li Zhen, who watched the entire process on the flagship, was also very satisfied with the performance of his fleet.

After the day's exercise ended, the fleet sailed to the port of Ganghwa Island to dock.

The original exercise plan did not include an overnight stop at Ganghwa Island, but because Li Zhen was here in person, in order to show respect for him, the command headquarters modified the exercise plan so that Li Zhen could rest on Ganghwa Island for one night.

Li Zhi didn't think there was anything wrong with this arrangement. Years of peace had made him almost forget what it would be like in a state of war. If Shi Chengwu and others hadn't taken the initiative to refuse, he even thought about staying on the island that night.

The palace held a small dinner to comfort the civil and military officials who had worked hard all day.

As for the civilian ships that came to watch the excitement, if they still want to watch the military exercise the next day, there is no need to rush back to Seoul overnight. Basically, they can only choose to spend the night on the ship. Ganghwa Island is the location of the imperial palace, and ordinary people can

You are not qualified to land on the island without permission. What's more, the island's port is densely packed with warships. If you get too close, you may cause trouble. It is safer to stay on the ship.

The second day of the exercise is the highlight of this joint military exercise. The two countries will conduct joint sea and land attack drills at sea, and there will also be a special subject of ship-based artillery cover for amphibious landings.

Exercises involving live ammunition shooting always make participants and visitors more excited, and this time is no exception. Before the shooting session began, Li Zhen, accompanied by Wang Anguo, made a special trip to visit the Zhoushan

How the main gun is filled with ammunition.

The Zhoushan's front and rear decks each have a main gun equipped with a rotating turret. Its caliber is similar to that of a traditional 24-pound gun, but the firing of the entire artillery has completely escaped the shadow of the old artillery, except for breech loading and copper-cased pointed projectiles.

In addition to these distinctive features, another point is that the barrel diameter is much larger than the slender barrel of traditional artillery. This ensures that the bore pressure is high and the muzzle velocity is fast when firing. In addition to improving the shooting accuracy, the strike power and range are also improved.

Then it increased.

The more than ten small-caliber naval guns deployed on both sides of the ship also have rotating turrets and use the naval gun model previously equipped as the main gun on the Warrior-class. When Shi Chengwu introduced the Zhoushan to Li Xie, he called it the most powerful naval gun in the world.

It is indeed not an exaggeration to say that it is the most powerful battleship. If nothing else, the cost of the dozens of artillery pieces on board the Zhoushan is almost as much as that of the entire fleet of the North Korean Navy participating in the show.
