In fact, according to the naval regulations of the Star Sea Kingdom, after the warship is launched and outfitted, it needs at least three months of training to familiarize itself with the performance of the warship before it can be officially put into service.
But this time, the actions of the Xinghai State Military Affairs Department were an exception.
When the strategic capital ship is launched and outfitted, the Navy sends prepared sailors and officers on board to familiarize themselves with the performance of the warship.
After the main guns, secondary guns, machine guns and a series of weapons and equipment were outfitted, the Ministry of Military Affairs couldn't wait to put these six strategic capital ships into official service.
As for getting familiar with the performance of weapons and equipment, power systems, etc., take your time after serving.
In any case, these sailors and officers on board are all veterans who have served for more than three years. Although they are not familiar with this strategic battleship, at least there will be no accidents that will capsize the ship.
After the joint meeting of major fleet commanders, the whereabouts of the six strategic capital ships were decided.
The Northern Fleet and the local garrison fleet each received one strategic capital ship, the Southbound Fleet received two strategic capital ships, and the newly established Tu'ao Fleet received the same two strategic battleships as the Southbound Fleet!
And other warships launched in the past six months have basically been assigned to the Tu'ao fleet!
To be honest, this distribution result made all major fleet commanders a little dissatisfied.
The Tu'ao fleet has just been established and has so many warships. It's simply out of control!
But Navy Commander Wang Haitao insisted on this.
The reason is simple, there is room for others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch!
With Taiyuan Island, Nanming, Cochin, Malacca and other places either under direct control or becoming allies, there is only one security hole left around Nanhai Island.
That is the Folangji people who occupy Lu Song!
To be honest, from time to time until now, Xinghai Kingdom has interacted with all the surrounding forces, whether they were Putaoyaren, Helan people, Nanming, Jiaozhi, etc., either becoming friends or enemies.
But Fo Langji is the most unfamiliar neighbor of Xinghai Kingdom!
Although all the time-travelers came from later generations and knew the history, no one knew what the Falangji people thought about the Xinghai Kingdom.
The Xinghai Kingdom has never sent anyone to Lu Song to deal with Governor Fo Langji.
Well, Xinghai Kingdom actually doesn't want to turn the Folangji people into friends, and it is impossible for the Folangji people to treat a small country that has just been established as a friend.
Lusong has vast and fertile land, numerous gold mines and other minerals, and rich fishery resources.
The most important thing is that if Xinghai Kingdom wants to go to Tuao, they have to pass through Lu Song!
This is also the key reason why the new fleet was named Tu'ao.
The main purpose of its establishment was to capture Tu'ao, not just Lu Song.
Of course, compared with Tu'ao, which had just been discovered by the Helan people, it would undoubtedly be much more difficult to capture Lu Song.
After all, Lusong is now the base camp of the Francois in the Far East, and it will take more than a hundred years for Tu'ao to be colonized by prisoners sent by Britain.
After the Tu'ao fleet was established, the first navigation training was to depart from Sanya Base and go straight to Lusong, 1,100 kilometers away.
However, the focus of this voyage was to conduct hydrological and climate observations along the way, so the sailing speed was not very fast.
In contrast to the Tu'ao fleet, which slowly began to sail towards Lu Song and moved its forward base to Suilan Island, the southbound fleet waited for the arrival of the two strategic battleships and the transport fleet before setting sail on the third day. Set off and head towards the Persian Gulf, three thousand kilometers away.
This voyage can be regarded as the longest voyage of the Star Sea Kingdom Navy.
Fortunately, in this season, the climate in the corresponding sea areas is pretty good, and there are no strong winds or waves.
So after sailing for a full week, the huge southbound fleet arrived at Mast.
Master is the name of later generations, which means oasis pearl.
This can be said to be the only oasis in the nearby desert, covering an area of more than 20,000 square kilometers.
Obviously, such a desert oasis cannot be without human life.
Here is one of the only two castles in Putao.
Regarding this, Xinghai Kingdom had already discussed this with the Putao people in Haojing.
Putao Yaren handed over the castle to Xinghai Kingdom, and Xinghai Kingdom exclusively granted Putao Yaren the right to sell several commodities in Ouzhou.
Well, actually this is an exchange of interests.
The Putao people sold the castle port, which was already difficult to hold, to the Xinghai Kingdom in exchange for some benefits and future navigation and supply rights.
After all, it is very difficult for grapes to overwhelm people at this time.
Many of their ports were invaded by the Dutch and the British.
And here, the rising Yaliba dynasty is constantly driving the grapes to the people.
In just a few decades, more than 20 castles and ports located here were occupied by the Yaliba dynasty.
This dynasty later even expanded to the eastern Philippines.
Putao Jiaren no longer wants to fight in such a bad war with no profit.
Now that Xinghai Kingdom is willing to take over, Putao almost cried with joy.
Besides, even if the castle and port are handed over to the Xinghai Kingdom, the Putao people, as allies, will still have navigation and supply rights, and their trade routes will not be affected.
As Putaoya evacuated and the Xinghai people moved in, the Ariba people around the castle felt a little strange.
Under the huge military pressure of the Yaliba Kingdom marching at any time, the newly arrived Xinghai people even hurriedly renovated and expanded the castle. They even used a kind of mud that could turn into rock to repair the port. expansion.
The giant sailless automatic ship sailed into the port and unloaded some strange machinery and a large number of refugees.
In the next few years, this place will become the home of these refugees.
There is no doubt that the Yaliba Kingdom, which has been in a state of utter disarray over Putao, is very dissatisfied with the arrival of a new force.
At the call of King Ariba, thousands of camel cavalry came from a distance, like a whirlwind blowing towards the castle.
They will not attack the castle directly, but they will throw rotting animal carcasses into the castle to spread diseases in the castle. At the same time, they will cut off the communication between the castle and the outside world, so that those outsiders cannot persist and can only flee in panic. Then the camel cavalry will Can easily cover and kill from behind.
Well, in fact, there was a precedent for the camel cavalry to directly attack the castle, but the losses were so heavy that King Ariba felt distressed, so they changed their tactics afterwards.
But what they didn't expect was that before they could get close to the castle, dense bullets were fired from the castle, knocking a camel cavalryman to the ground.
In less than ten minutes, hundreds of camel cavalry were left and fled in panic, leaving behind a pile of corpses.
Such high killing efficiency is entirely due to the new rotating machine gun.
