"Okay, since you are all the admirals under my command, things are much easier to do. Now I want to tell you about my plan to suppress the bandits." Zhao Kuo sighed, and was about to say, but suddenly sniffed, and asked in confusion: "What's up?"

After looking around, Zhao Kuo turned his head to look behind the screen in his seat.

The new admiral picked up the cup of tea in front of him amid the laughter of the maid and servants, and poured it into the vase with blue smoke. The cigar he had just thrown in burned what was in the vase.

Zhao Kuo turned around and knew from the eyes and expressions of the people in the living room that this general was causing trouble, and he couldn't say anything. Davidson was not a nobleman. He had worked in the British Navy, but he also worked as a pirate of the Caribbean. Later, he came to the Far East to be a bounty hunter. He was a typical adventurer.

"My plan is to focus on not arresting pirates, but training new sailors. I hope you can train a group of sailors who can fight." Zhao Kuo said, this matter is very clear. With his little force, if he takes action directly, he will never succeed in his life. Otherwise, the British would not be able to kill the pirates with warships, and in the end he would push them to him.

And as far as the navy is concerned, it is completely different from the army.

This is a technical army with very high technical and empirical requirements. Not to mention the senior commander, but the lower-level soldiers have very high requirements:

Sailors, you have to sail in formation, do you have to know how to sail? Do you have to understand how to deal with the strong winds and waves of the ocean?

It’s okay for sailors to say that gunners are the most critical. In essence, there is no difference between naval battles in the sailing era and platoon shooting on land. It’s just that the former uses cannons and the latter uses guns.

During the evolution of the navy, it evolved from paddle boats to sail warships, and sail warships quickly established the tactic of side artillery. When the two ships intersected, it was like amid the sound of military music that two armies lined up in neat rows and shot deadly barrage at the other side. In addition to the bombardment distance, the accuracy and speed of dozens of platoons bombardment bombardment were the key to strength.

The importance of accuracy is self-evident. It seems that when you use a rifled rifle sniper to get a bore gun that doesn't know where the bullets will fly, the Japanese naval general suggested that a 100-shot naval gun would rather than a 100-shot naval gun. As a result, the slightly disadvantaged Japanese fleet killed the Qing Huanglong Fleet in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895.

The bombardment speed depends on the filling speed of the gun. The more well-trained the gunner, the higher the firing frequency, the terribleness of this is self-evident.

For example, the British gunners ensured the victory of the British fleet in the battle for the British and French maritimes with excellent accuracy and faster filling speed (brest gun).

However, this accuracy and filling speed are all hard-working, and of course it also requires a long time to accumulate experience.

Therefore, the Navy has always been a group of high-tech and high-income people. It is much more difficult than the Army to find a farmer to train for a few days to become an elite. A key factor in Britain's success in the French maritime battle is that Britain, a major marine power, can recruit and hire much more skilled sailors than France.

Of course, Zhao Kuo didn't have any men, either. He had seen Western ships sailing, and most of them didn't even have the chance to get up.

"Your Majesty is the same as I think," said the new general's eyes, "so I ask Your Majesty to give me a sum of money, and I will recruit Manilans (Filipinos) and Westerners to be sailors, gunners, and fill in the naval power."

When Zhao Kuo heard about asking for money, he was nervous, but after hearing this, he was stunned and asked, "How can there be so many people? Why bother to be far away? I have people under him."

Davidson was stunned for a moment, coughed, and then looked at Zhao Kuo and said, "Your Majesty, Chinese people are not suitable for technical work. They are too stupid and hypocritical; of course, I will definitely exclude you from this comment."

"What?! You're a bird!" Zhao Kuo felt so angry that his hair was straightened. This unscrupulous underworld could not stand racial discrimination. Just as black prisoners in American prisons would also find opportunities to beat white people who were racist. This thing about DNA's glory simply transcends morality. He cursed in his stomach: "Your racial discrimination is so stupid! Where are we stupid? Ahem, there may be a little hypocrisy, but how are they stupid?"

In fact, when two civilizations meet, the only thing that cannot be avoided is mutual discrimination under the premise of not understanding.

Even if Martians meet Earthlings.

In the second half of the 19th century, although the Qing civilization had seen the firepower of Western civilization, it was still essentially discriminating against foreigners, believing that they were stupid and belonged to the stage when animals had just evolved into humans, whether they were gorillas with hair loss; and they were always pointing fingers and talking straight to each other, which was very arrogant.

Foreigners also saw that the Chinese under the Qing Dynasty civilization were the same, thinking that this was an uncivilized nation. In theory, it evolved into a human, but did not invent civilization. And they often lie, and some Westerners believed that they had to use a whip to slap the Chinese slaves hired at home so that they would not cheat you or scammers (2 copper coins and one egg, and you would cheat you about 10 copper coins). Therefore, Chinese people are more hypocritical.

Therefore, Chinese people look at foreigners: animals evolve and arrogant;

Foreigners look at Chinese people: they are not civilized and hypocritical.

Of course, because foreigners beat the Qing Dynasty's braided government, they also arrogantly believed that Chinese people were stupid and could only keep braided for their whole life to do simple and brainless work. So when Zhao Kuo's history, the foreign gun team had to hire some Chinese soldiers to train because of insufficient Manila's troops, it brought him surprise; and when foreign technicians taught Chinese to learn technicians in the gun factory opened by the Qing Dynasty, they felt surprised, and they didn't expect that Chinese people would learn so quickly.

But the surprise birds and the surprise birds must be because they originally thought that Chinese people were stupid!

Zhao Kuo bared at Davidson and said, "My dear General Captain, I can swear with my personality and swear before God, and the Chinese are just as smart..."

"Your Majesty, I believe in you, but my experience tells me..." Davidson rudely interrupted Zhao Kuo's words. In fact, he loved Zhao Kuo and did not want him to make mistakes in front of God.

"Have you trained Chinese before? Ah! Ah!" Zhao Kuo stared at him and cursed in his heart: "You are so experienced! Your mother's hearsay! If you read too many foreign newspapers, you will become stupid!"

"Well, no." Davidson was a little less arrogant, but he stared at Zhao Kuo and said, "Your Majesty, I..."

"No money!" Zhao Kuo waved his hand suddenly and shouted, "I have no extra money to find any Manila people for you! I have no one except you and your original soldiers! Now I have a group of soldiers who speak basic English here. Do you want it? Do you want it?"

You can't rely on your own ship to destroy the pirates in the Chinese Sea. Davidson knew that he was not a superman wearing underwear. With such a powerful reason from Zhao Kuo, he hesitated for a long time and sighed helplessly: "You are too stubborn, I want it."

"Don't do it, you have to train you too, this is an order." Zhao Kuo sneered and shouted to the back: "Come out, kids."

Eighteen young men wearing Taiping Army uniforms walked out from behind the screen in the hall. Undoubtedly, these were Zhao Kuo's boy scouts.

Zhao Kuo looked at them with savageness, just like the young people in later generations looking at their PSPs, he said to Davidson with some pride: "Love, don't underestimate these teenagers from the age of 12 to 16. Everyone has military merits and everyone is an officer. I have given him to you now. If they cannot receive the teachings of Western naval wars from you, I will withdraw you directly, no matter what kind of general or captain you are! You must know that my French friends are happy to replace any gentleman who served in the British Empire for the Song Dynasty with the best officer, and the captain will be the same!"

Davidson sighed helplessly. The Frenchman and the United Kingdom competed for control and influence over Zhao Kuo. Of course, he knew that the two families often quarreled. Whoever won the victory would have a huge territory.

He stood up, bowed to Zhao Kuo, and said, "I will fulfill my duties as an admiral, and even a piece of scrap iron will turn him into a gem."

"What kind of scrap iron!" Zhao Kuo was furious. He pointed to the leader Luo Qianjie and said, "This is Luo Qianjie. He followed me from Hunan and fought until Guangzhou. Guangzhou personally climbed the city with a knife, and made great achievements four times. These are all the heroic Knights of God."

To be honest, Zhao Kuo was hesitant about who to send a full team to rob theft.

Because naval warfare and land warfare are completely different, this thing is not only a technical life, but also has a far greater death or injury rate than land warfare.

Think about it, on the sea, two ships fight to the death. Every inch of the deck represents the territory of their country. Instant land must fight for it! Fight with blood! Moreover, naval battles are faced with close-range shelling, and the fragments of shotguns are drawn towards your head. If you capture the ship, you have to directly fight with a sword and a gun. This is completely a spirit of warriors and a spirit of glory.

If it is a little softer, let alone win the ocean, it will be kicked like the Qing Dynasty.

Pirates are definitely not like Manqing Naval Division. Although the members of the two have intersections, they are extremely cruel because they fight for survival in the vast sea. They are all desperate to fight against the officers and soldiers or foreigners who dare to destroy them. If the pirates are knocked down to the sea, they will hold a soldier who is also sinking into the sea to do anything together. If the ship is about to be occupied, they will hold a torch straight to the powder compartment and die together! Therefore, Manqing Naval Division will never dare to provoke pirates, just like the underworld fighting for territory, and every inch of territory is made of blood.

Therefore, the navy must be brave and must be brave enough to be brave.

Therefore, Zhao Kuo hesitated for a long time, and realized that since the great powers forced him to set up a thief team, he could not send soft-legged shrimps to fool him in such a dangerous field, otherwise he would soon become a foodie like Manqing Shuishi and run away when he saw the pirates.

What is military soul and how does military soul come from?

It is to use the "ichis spirit" to chop out the machete and steel pipe like Hao Nan in "Young and Dangerous"!

So Zhao Kuo gritted his teeth and sent eighteen scouts from the army as backbone of the anti-theft team.

They are absolutely not afraid of death and absolutely worship themselves, which is proven by blood.

Moreover, in this era, "generals" should not be afraid of death and have strategies, and soldiers should not be slippery. As long as they have backbones, and with new recruits and high salaries, a group of people will die in the sea, and they will soon learn to be ruthless.

This is how domineering the world comes from.

As long as you are domineering, you can cut down three streets like a watermelon knife - Quotations from the Supreme Emperor Haisong 1996.

Of course, these eighteen people are not his top elites. Most of the top elites need to enrich the army, but Luo Qianjie must be one of the top ones. First, this man has a good family background. The son of the cloth shop owner was destroyed at home and became an orphan before joining the Taiping Army. He received a complete education. He was literate and smart. Second, he followed Zhao Kuozao, who was the first group when Zhao Kuo intended to cultivate his own power. Third, he was lucky. Under blind admiration, he did not die even after fighting for Zhao Kuo so bravely.

These three points can make him the 16-year-old man become the leader of the day, commanding 100 older soldiers to fight for Zhao Kuo. When he is older, his future will be limitless.

But he had a flaw. One of his eyes was dug out in the first battle, which led to a one-eyed dragon. Although this made him more conspicuous, Zhao Kuo laughed and asked this and that every time he saw him, he didn't know that in Zhao Kuo's era, this one-eyed dragon was a classic shape for pirates!

So when Zhao Kuo thought of setting up a maritime thief team, he couldn't help but send this guy to the navy.

Seeing Davidson, Luo Qianjie bent down and bowed to him, and said sincerely: "Subor Luo Qianjie, you have met the chief!"

At the beginning, he was sent to participate in the water operation, Luo Qianjie was extremely resistant. His target was always the sword of honor that his brother Zhuang Lizhong never left. It was the highest honor of the Sharp Spear Group, showing that your position among the "Gentlemen" has reached its peak.

But this is very difficult. Zhuang Lizhong is already a brigade commander, one level higher than his soldiers. In this era when information transmission is extremely poor and a bunch of soldiers are acting together, it is unimaginable that a subordinate can achieve higher military achievements than his superiors.

So he sat on Sha Baozai's boat lonely and led his men to do rescue missions, instead of running rampant on land like a brother.

There are probably not many people with braided heads here.

Luo Qian Czech was disgusted with the nausea of ​​seasickness and thought in pain.

But Davidson's gorgeous and fierce attack on the sea made him forget his discomfort. He lay on the side of the ship, and was stunned and shocked. What a tactic of war this was?

Then he thought that if we could pick up people, we could also put soldiers in. As long as we control the ocean, we have the final say on where to fight, when to fight, and how large-scale battles are all.

This may be a shortcut to surpassing his brother Zhuang Lizhong, or it may be the only one.

So after receiving the knife meeting, he immediately became a admirer of Davidson and wanted to one day lead the transport fleet into the harbor and kill all the waste blocking the road.

Seeing that the 18-person boss Luo Qianjie expressed his obedience in showing obedience, Zhao Kuo breathed a sigh of relief. Luo Qianjie, as the oldest Sharp Spear Group, was convinced, and no one else could be troubled.

"I will work hard, your majesty." Davidson was not surprised to see the 12-year-old child. The British Navy has trained officers since childhood and is just fighting at the age of 12.

"Well, these are the backbone officers, and I sent the newly established Xiaodao Legion 500 Fujianese to serve as the fighter soldiers of the robbery team. They were all carefully selected from 7,000 people. Most of them have experience in ocean navigation, and they are strong (durable), poor (obedient). Give them the job of robbing ships or landing on the island." Zhao Kuo smiled proudly.

Then he seemed to remember something and said to Davidson: "My dear general, is your Spike also going to be renamed? Because his master has become the number one general in the Song Dynasty."

"Please give my beloved old 'Spike' a Chinese name, I think it will be so excited that it can't sleep." Davidson was shocked when he heard this."

Zhao Kuo thought for a while and said, "The ocean here is mine! The Great Song Sea! Well, it is also a thief team. Oh, sorry, it is the flagship of the 'The Royal Navy of the Great Song Dynasty', so it is called the 'The Great Song Sea'."
