*************************************************** *********
Time flies, time flies...
When he heard that two level nine battleships had been launched and were becoming seaworthy locally, Zhu Cixiang couldn't help but sigh.
It has been almost twenty years since I last inspected Australia, and the assassination in France is still fresh in my mind.
After completing the move and taking care of the trivial matters, I will go to Australia again for inspection.
I just don’t know how much I will spend on my next trip around the world. I spent 200 million silver coins on my last trip around the world!
The sixteenth batch of shipbuilding plans (1731-1739) has ended, and the results are almost the same as the previously announced launch of 18 battleships, eight large aircraft carriers, and ten amphibious assault ships.
Eighteen battleships, including six Tier IX battleships (two from mainland China and two from Australia), six Tier VIII battleships (two from mainland China and two from Australia), and six Tier VII battleships (two from mainland China and two from Australia). four ships).
Ten large aircraft carriers (six local King, two Bismarck, two King in North America), ten amphibious assault ships (eight local King, two King in North America).
The difference is that the Ming Navy has decided to completely heavy-duty the aircraft carrier, moving from a 30,000-ton type to a 50,000-ton type, so that it can take off and land twin-engine propeller carrier-based aircraft, and even jets.
The cost of building two 50,000-ton aircraft carriers is as high as 450 million silver coins, so Zhu Cihong decided to place the construction of aircraft carriers in Citizen, Australia and San Diego, North America.
The Ming Navy basically does not need to use seven-level battleships to make up the numbers. The existing battleships of the same type, plus the newly launched eighth-level and ninth-level battleships, are completely sufficient.
The purpose of building six seventh-level battleships is to serve for a period of time and then sell them to allies at a friendly price to maintain bilateral relations and give their friends a little sweetness.
In the seventeenth batch (1739-1747) shipbuilding plan, the number of seventh-level battleships will be reduced to four.
When the eighteenth batch (1747-1754) starts construction, this type of battleship may disappear from the project column...
According to the report of the military inspection team stationed at Citizen Shipyard, no major problems have been found in the eight capital ships built by the shipyard. So far, the sea trials have been normal.
In view of this, Zhu Cixiang officially decided to build six level nine battleships, four level eight battleships, and four type three aircraft carriers (Bismarck) at Citizen Shipyard.
San Diego, now renamed San Diego, the local shipyard is responsible for the construction of four Type 2 aircraft carriers (King) and four Type 2 amphibious assault ships (King).
The local Tianjin Shipyard and Penglai Shipyard will build two Type 2 aircraft carriers, two Type 2 amphibious assault ships, and 20 hospital ships, supply ships, and ro-ro ships each.
Other small and medium-sized surface ships are completed by the Polo Fort Shipyard on the east coast of the Baltic Sea and the Odessa Shipyard on the north coast of the Black Sea.
It doesn't matter if it can't be completed in time. The size of the Ming Dynasty Navy has been able to accept it for more than ten years, which means that two batches of purchases have been stopped.
According to Jiexuan's estimation, even if the three batches are unable to obtain new ships, it will not affect the Ming Navy's lead over its main competitors.
In order to ensure the construction quality of the capital ships that overseas shipyards are responsible for, the seventeenth batch can even extend the construction period to nine to ten years, which is completely acceptable to the navy.
This is the first time since Zhu Cihong came to supervise the country that most of the battleships have been built overseas. The risks involved can be imagined.
Fortunately, it has been tried in Australia and North America before, and the results are basically in line with Zhu Cixi's expectations.
Of course, Ming Dynasty also had a backup shipbuilding base, which was the Zheng and his son's Fujian shipyard in southern Africa.
Zheng Chenggong has now started building a ninth-level battleship and a second-level aircraft carrier locally. With the help of Emperor Haojing, the technology of the local shipyard has reached the internationally advanced level.
As for other aspects, there is naturally no big problem. Since there are mines and steel plants locally, construction costs can be well controlled.
After Zheng Chenggong learned the shocking news of his master's assassination, he rushed to Beidu in a hurry after forgetting about things in Europe.
Zhu Cixiang was quite satisfied with this disciple, as he had done well in all aspects.
He didn't need his help in catching the assassin. It would be great if Zheng could help transport Yi Min overseas.
According to Zhu Cixiang's estimate, the Zheng family owned about 5,000 ocean-going merchant ships of different tonnages.
Almost all the wooden sailing ships of the year were replaced by steam ships and fuel tankers. Its strength was second only to the Ming Dynasty, France, and the Netherlands, on par with the Ottoman Empire, and firmly surpassed the Inca Empire.
Zheng Chenggong was completely relieved when he saw that his master's dragon body was in good condition. He naturally agreed to this order and guaranteed to provide at least 3,000 merchant ships to transport Yi Min.
From this point of view, Zheng's fleet can transport at least 1.5 million people at a time.
There is no need to transport it to Brazil, even if it is transported to northern Australia, it will be a big help to Zhu Cixi.
Those going to Northland and Europe can go through the Northern Railway. Only those going to Australia, North America, and South America need to go by sea.
It is equivalent to saying that the disciples took on one-third of the workload, and the remaining two-thirds were easily handled by Zhu Cihong.
Merchant ships from countries such as Japan, Kimchi, Persia, Siam, Ottoman, Venice, Sweden, etc. can all be mobilized.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t have time, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty gave you a lot of money!
As long as the money is in place, time will be enough!
The Ottoman, Venetian, and Swedish merchant ships were responsible for the European routes, while the Japanese, Kimchi, Persia, and Siam were responsible for the routes from the mainland of the Ming Dynasty to Australia.
The remaining local people in Fujian, as well as the people in nearby areas who can speak the Fujian language, can all be taken by Zheng Chenggong to settle in Fujian.
Those who do not want to go to Fujian can take the opportunity to settle in East Africa, which is controlled by the imperial court.
As long as the ships are concentrated and the power is well distributed, most of the difficulties will be solved.
It is estimated that on a certain day of a certain year, a certain month, I will be rated as the most wicked emperor in history, because during a certain period of his reign, he wholesale dealt with the people under his command...
Although this is an unprecedented scale of relocation operations that will continue in the future, it may be regarded by some as a wholesale process that is too numerous to describe!
Most of the people in Fujian went to southern Africa!
Due to the climate, people in Guangdong and Guangxi like to go to Nanyang to settle.
Most of the people in Henan, Shandong, Shanxi, and Beizhili were divided among the North, North America, and Australia.
People in Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and South Zhili are unwilling to leave, and they have to be sent to North and South America.
People from Shaanxi and the southern grasslands went to Central Asia to settle nearby. They farmed the land they wanted and graze their cattle wherever they wanted.
People from Sichuan and Huguang were sent to South America first, where they could grow chili peppers at will.
Is Sichuan food without chili still considered Sichuan food?
Obviously, Emperor Haojing is doing it for their own good!
For the people of Yunnan and Guizhou, those who can be taken away by the Mu family and Ma family can go to Europe. Those who cannot be taken away can just follow the trend.
In this way, 500 million local people were wiped out by a certain evil emperor...
Not even the Great Song Dynasty had given me such comfort back then, it was like a sudden big breakout after constipation!
It is estimated that the number of commercial ships available will reach 15,000 or more, and a conservative estimate is that it can transport 30 million people every year.
Shipyards across the Ming Dynasty have received orders. Zhu Cixiang plans to purchase a thousand merchant ships in his country and have shipyards in other countries build a thousand ships with the same specifications of 10,000-ton ocean-going mixed passenger and cargo merchant ships.
Each ship can carry 2,000 passengers and 5,000 tons of supplies, has a speed of 12 knots, a range of up to 10,000 nautical miles, and a self-sufficiency time at sea of 30 days. It can reach any place in the world.
Since the port of arrival is also the territory of Ming Dynasty, the local terminal facilities are complete and can be refueled on the spot. These merchant ships do not need to carry fuel for the return trip when they set sail.
Calculated based on three million silver coins per ship, two thousand ships would be six billion silver coins.
But instead of paying in full at once, if it were paid in installments, the Ming Empire would be able to afford it.
And many times, overseas orders do not require cash transactions, and the other party can also accept barter.
The entire construction cycle takes five years. Overseas shipyards deliver an average of two hundred ships per year, involving an amount of 600 million silver coins. The actual cash expenditure will not exceed 300 million silver coins.
By exporting a large number of high value-added products, such as aircraft, cars, warships, home appliances, etc., Daming can earn back this money and achieve maximum hedging.
These ships can also be used for a long time. Even after the Yimin plan is completed, due to their large tonnage and ample modification space, they can still be continuously upgraded and improved to recover all the costs of the initial investment.
Approximately 200 million yuan will be required to be transported by sea to move the Min from the mainland. It is expected to be transported to the overseas territories of the Ming Dynasty within six or seven years. This will not affect Louis XIV's eagerness to move.
His Majesty the European Emperor plans to complete all land exchange plans between France and Ming Dynasty within ten years, fearing that he will be left behind by the Netherlands, Prussia, and even a bunch of gadgets that once served the Holy Roman Empire.
The ideal state is five years, but both emperors knew that this small goal was basically impossible to achieve...
The contract for 1,736,000 was signed and implemented one year later. It was completed in five years and ended in 1742.
Calculated in terms of shipping capacity, the launch of the global shipping plan (1739-1746) will not be later than 1748.
After friendly negotiations, Ming Dynasty was able to complete the seventeenth batch (1739-1747) of the shipbuilding plan in its native Tianjin and Penglai shipyards.
All employees and their families of Fujian Shipyard have moved to Citizen in Australia, Nandu Shipyard has been assigned to San Diego, and all employees of Lushun Shipyard have gone to work in Boluobao, which has a similar climate.
native
Other small state-owned shipyards have all moved to Odessa on the Black Sea. The Ming Dynasty's Black Sea Fleet also needs ships to be replenished and repaired and maintained daily.
Due to the alliance between the Ming Empire and the Ottoman Empire, the Black Sea Fleet actually only serves as an auxiliary fleet, performing patrols and search and rescue missions, and occasionally participating in joint maritime exercises with allies.
The size of the Black Sea Fleet is controlled to two Type 1 aircraft carriers, six cruisers, 18 destroyers, as well as some landing ships and transport ships.
There is no need to equip capital ships such as battleships, because Jiexuan believes that the Black Sea is a quasi-inland sea and the sea conditions are relatively good.
Battleships should appear in areas with harsh sea conditions where aircraft carriers cannot normally take off and land carrier-based aircraft.
The probability of armed conflict in the Black Sea is also low, and capital ships have a one-third maintenance period.
A battleship can only serve for a maximum of eight months a year, and the remaining four months require maintenance.
To maintain a small formation of two battleships all year round, it is not worthwhile to invest three battleships in the Black Sea alone.
It is more appropriate for these three battleships to be deployed to bases in the Indian Ocean, Pacific Ocean, and Atlantic Ocean, and they can better reflect their own value.
Another point is that capital ships must pass through the Bosporus controlled by the Ottoman Empire when entering and exiting the Black Sea. Its capital, Istanbul, was built on both sides of the strait.
The Ming Navy often did this, which was somewhat rude. In order to avoid overly stimulating allies, Jiexuan gave up the idea of deploying battleships in the Black Sea.
The two light aircraft carriers are used to train carrier-based aircraft pilots and perform possible search and rescue missions, while the rest are used for daily patrols.
Now that the two sons are back, there are no major problems in their respective territories, and their biological mothers are also smiling, Zhu Cixiang, as the father, is satisfied.
This year is also the 100th anniversary of his supervision of the country. It should have been celebrated in March and April, but the wars between the Ming Dynasty and Naples and Rome happened successively.
We were forced to postpone it to September to avoid the hot summer, but Beidu is not particularly cool in September.
The two sons are still concerned about matters in their respective territories. They have been away for more than half a year, so they are somewhat worried.
Zhu Cixiang didn't care about this aspect, because it was completely unnecessary.
Let them take advantage of the opportunity to come to the mainland to see
If you want to rebel, hurry up. Don't wait until the higher-ups come back before you panic and start trouble.
Just as the Ming Dynasty Expeditionary Force ended the war in Europe, some troops had already returned to the DPRK.
There should be no major wars in other places next year, so using overseas territories to train troops is also a good choice!
It doesn't matter where we fight. What matters is that there are battles to fight so that we can train troops.
The eldest son Zhu Xiangtang and the second son Zhu Xiangzhen seem to be two people, but they are actually two major factions.
In order to avoid the scene of brothers fighting each other, a certain father sent them to North America and Australia respectively to manage them.
If they manage well and pass the inspection and pass the inspection, these two pieces of prime land will be given to them for long-term management.
Since the two groups are far apart, the conflicts will naturally be easily eliminated, and they can just live their own lives behind closed doors.
For those who don't want to live a stable life, Zhu Cixiang also has a way to deal with it.
Aren’t the Antarctic and the North Pole still empty?
Do you want to go by boat?
Or was he airdropped by a plane?
It's dry and cold over there, not wet and cold. It's much warmer than some humid and cold places, with a maximum of -60 or 70 degrees below zero!
Zhu Cixiang believes that hearing the word bipolar should scare away 99.99% of cowards.
There really are guys who are not afraid of death, so that can help them!
Life!
You must have a love that can last forever and a journey that can last forever!
This can be in line with a wise saying - love even if you die!
