Chapter 590 The Opening of the Age of Iron Armor Battleship

 

No one didn’t expect the first transaction at the Port of Wibator shipbuilding base turned out to be from Kaman Ryan Kingdom, Claude remembers that Kingdom had bought an ironclad destroyer from the Wang Family Navy last year. It seems that they encountered the same imitation problem, which was limited by the manufacture of high-temperature resistant alloy materials and propellers for marine steam-powered machinery. Even if they obtained all the drawings of the first-generation iron armor battleship, they could not make the iron armor battleship based on the drawings. .

 

The special envoy for the purchase of iron armored battleships from Kaman Lane Kingdom was defined as a people of repute of an ocean merchant, and six iron armored battleships were set. An ironclad cruiser, four ironclad destroyers, and an ironclad transport ship constitute exactly the smallest cruise and combat unit. The total amount of six iron armored battleships is 900,000 kroner, which will be delivered within half a year. Just looking at the meaning of this special envoy from Kamman Lane Kingdom, he was not willing to publicize this deal. The Autonomous Military Command was naturally willing to keep him secret and make a lot of money.

 

Borkal General believes that this special envoy of Kammanline Kingdom to purchase iron armored battleship is likely to face the same dilemma as the Wang Family navy. They accepted the order from the top leaders to imitate the armored battleship, but found that they could not imitate, and they had no choice but to re-search for the help of the Autonomous Command Military Region in order to make a difference. Fortunately, we have just built the shipbuilding base of the Port of Wibator, which specializes in the production and sale of the first and second generation of iron armored battleships, which can be regarded as a big trouble for them …

 

Claude is willing to let the port of Wibator build a shipbuilding base to specialize in the production of the first and second generation of armored battleships for sale, mainly because it is found that the progress of the development of armored battleships in other countries is very fast. So far, what he has learned, basically most of the countries that imitate the armored battleship can imitate the full metal shell of the armored battleship. The only difficulty is the imitation of the huge first-generation marine steam-powered machinery in the bilge and the propeller on the outside of the hull.

 

The first and second-generation iron armored battleships can be sold at the shipbuilding base of the Port of Wibator, also to trouble those countries that are willing to crack the ship’s steam-powered machinery. For those imitation countries, it is really better to buy them. If they invest in the research and development of iron armored battleships, they can buy at least twenty iron armored battleships to form an iron armored fleet for the safety of their country ’s Sea Territory. Get the most powerful guarantee.

 

And must research and imitate so that the country also has the ability to manufacture iron armor battleships, then the funds invested in research and imitation are not a small amount. They may spend two or three iron armored fleet procurement costs to create one by themselves. The sloppy iron armored battleship out of it is simply not comparable to the iron armored battleship sold in the autonomous region.

 

And if you want to continue to improve the armored battleships made in your country, you do n’t know how much money you will invest in. Therefore, Claude hopes that most countries will change course and change their own country to develop iron armored battleships to buy from the autonomous command zone. As long as the money is paid, the autonomous region will ensure that the children are free from bullying. Even if there is a war with the opposing parties in the autonomous region, the armored battleship that should be delivered will be delivered on time and will not be detained.

 

In fact, for the autonomous region, the sale of a generation of iron armored battleships is a overwhelming transaction, which is a huge profit in the windfall. Even Bird, the Great Master who designed the first generation of armored battleships at first, was a little embarrassed looking at the simplified version of the current generation of armored battleships. I felt that it was a shame and sorry to fool buyers with such a simple battleship design. So I improved the first generation of marine steam power machinery, so that its combustion efficiency and power can be more durable and faster …

 

For a generation of iron armored destroyers, the Dominion ’s selling price is 150,000 kronor, and the production price delivered to the shipbuilding base by the dominion is 50,000 kronor. Here, the autonomous region has received a hundred thousand kronor Huge profits. But in fact, the cost of manufacturing this generation of ironclad destroyers at the shipbuilding base was more than 20,000 kroner, and they still doubled their profits.

 

Take a look at what the first generation of iron armored destroyers are. The first is the splicing and welding of metal hulls that do not include a watertight tank. The most technical content is the installation of marine steam power machinery and the propeller shaft of the outboard bilge. Then there are the copper pipe layouts for communication, as well as the layout of the command cabin front desk and the artillery turret on the deck. Everything else is fine. At most, a sharp angle is installed on the bow of the ship …

 

A generation of ironclad destroyers of 150 thousand kronor. At that time, the first ironclad battleship of the Dominion led to the sea and spent nearly one million kronor in experimental funds. So for the autonomous region today, building a generation of iron armored battleship with so much money is a loss-making business, but for those countries that are planning to develop and imitate, buying an iron armored battleship at such a price is really very Cheaper …

 

With Kaman Ryan Kingdom’s first ship purchase transaction in the port of Wibator, then other countries will soon come to purchase iron armored battleships. However, the first generation of iron armored battleships previously produced by the Autonomous Military Command Region has not been sealed. This time, the six ships purchased by Kamman Ryan Kingdom also need to be re-forged and re-produced by shipbuilding bases.

 

Claude It ’s a pity that the special envoy of the Fux Islands United Kingdom listened to the offer of the second-generation armored battleship and never heard back. If they were to purchase this second-generation iron armored battleship, the Dominion Command would guarantee delivery faster than the six-generation iron armored battleship purchased by Kaman Lane Kingdom. It is nothing more than transferring the second-generation iron armored battleship in service directly from the armored fleet to remove the sensitive parts and refurbish it when the new ship is sold, and then use the earned money to Mordred General to customize the fourth-generation iron armored battleship …

 

The twelve generations of ironclad battleships of the Blacksail Pirates were overhauled in a remote shipbuilding workshop in the port of Wibator. Sixteen fast sailing battleships were copper-clad, and the bottom tank was fitted with a new generation of steam. After power machinery and propellers, Eriksson led the Black Sail Pirate to anchor out of the port on a misty and rainy night, and disappeared into the vast sea without anyone knowing it.

 

Claude is busy setting up reserve soldiers and recruiting conscripts every year for the autonomous region. It can be said that the autonomous region has changed the military system of the Kingdom of Aueras to the greatest extent. Originally, the military system of Kingdom of Aueras was the standing Legion system and the battle enlistment system. The standing Legion system, such as Guard, Red Dragon, and Griffin, were three renown ace field battle Legion. The soldiers served for 15 years. After the deadline, you can get nationals status. In addition, you have a good salary during service. It can be said that it is similar to recruiting.

 

And the call-in-call system, that is, facing national warfare, all local counties are forcing the recruitment of school-age enlisted personnel to form a new second-line Legion to add to the front line. The fate of these compulsory recruits was not very good. It failed breathe one’s last and became an unknown cannon fodder. Victory is just a happy occasion. What I did and so on after I was forced to serve in Retreat was not to change my destiny. Only a small number of meritorious personnel had good luck and transferred to those standing Legion and became official servicemen …

 

The Overseas Dominion now has four standing Legions, plus one navy, and twelve local garrisons, with a total strength of nearly 550,000. Since most of the men and women are recruited by the legionary recruitment system like Legion, it has put a lot of pressure on the autonomous command zone in terms of military expenditure. After all, the expenditure on personnel salary and welfare is overspending, and the improvement funds for tactical weapons and armament materials will be reduced …

 

Claude intends to combine compulsory soldiers with a recruiting system to establish a new system of conscription and reserve military service in the autonomous command zone. Not all recruits are willing to join the army for fifteen years. They are not interested in nationals status. Instead, they want to go home early and reunite with their families. The 15-year military service is due to the fact that the nations of Freia Continent need experienced hunters and excellent soldiers to defend their country.

 

In the Overseas Dominion, a young man who is 18 years old is a suitable age recruit. It only takes five years for him to serve in the army. In these five years, he will be trained in the barracks and become a qualified soldier in the autonomous region. If he wins a prize and is promoted in the war, his military career will be very long …

 

If no war takes place on the battlefield during a five-year service period for a recruit, then after the five-year service period expires, the recruit has two options. The first is to continue serving in the military, but the prerequisite for this choice is that within five years of service, the recruit must have become a noncommissioned officer. He will be hired by the army as a non-commissioned officer, and will enjoy excellent salary benefits from then on. After fifteen years of service has expired to become nationals, he will be officially retired from the army. He can directly arrange to receive training as a public officer at the place …

 

Another option is that if this soldier does not want to continue serving in the army, then he can bid farewell to the barracks and return home, marry and have children, and do business on, and so on will not affect, the army will seal his files and record his Five years have passed. As long as the soldier wants to become a nationals before he is forty years old, he can apply for continued service in the local guard until the fifteen-year service expires to obtain nationals status.

 

As long as it is a suitable age recruit for the Overseas Dominion, the military reform to be implemented by the Dominion Military Region will have a great impact on the future of these candidates. Any young adult who has reached the age of eighteen will enter the barracks to undergo the training and forging of the military career, and reshape the three perspectives. In this way, even during the five-year compulsory military service enlistment, he will still be influenced by the discipline of the barracks. After the Retreat, he can become a reserve soldier, waiting for the military region to be re-enlisted when facing the great war …

 

The reform of the recruitment system and reserve service registration system of the Autonomous Military Command presided over by Claude has largely broken the ancient tradition of military service of 15 years. In the four standing Legions of the Autonomous Military Command Region, without mastering a superb military skill, it would become impossible to stay in the army for a long time. Water is not corrupt, and the five-year voluntary enlistment system has brought new vitality to the closed military camp.

 

The biggest benefit of this military reform to the Autonomous Military Command Region is that it saves military expenditures on human salary. As Beechlin said, joining the army before is equivalent to finding a life-long career. As long as he died early and died in battle, this well-paid job can be saved until Retreat is off. For example, Claude was recommended to join the Blue Feather Legion. When his name appeared on the Blue Feather Legion’s roster, he had a huge salary and welfare supplement since then.

 

However, during the great war period, Blue Feather Legion should be the worst Legion of luck, after several major ups and downs and crisis. Claude was lucky to avoid these bad lucks. He was transferred to mobile battalion by the Hansback Grand Prince to test new methods of warfare. From then on, he was promoted all the way. As Beechklin said, Claude is as lucky as Claude. Guys are actually rare in the military …

 

But after the five-year compulsory military service system and reserve service registration system were implemented in the Autonomous Military Command, those lucky guys like Claude will no longer be the protagonists. Because Claude was very disheartened to cancel the good salary of the recruits during the five-year enlistment period, and only gave a little benefit supplement. This is a five-year compulsory military service period, not to look for work, but to do my duty. What can I do with salary?

 

Want to get a generous salary, then you have to wait until the end of five years of compulsory military service, rely on the outstanding military skills and be retained by the army in the rank of non-commissioned officer, and then you can get a generous salary and welfare supplement, and this The salary increases with my years in the barracks, or is rewarded for neutrality on the battlefield and the military …

 

However, the guy Borkal General said very plainly that Claude changed the soldier’s original 15-year salary payment period to a 10-year payment period. What was the first five years of compulsory military service elimination period, and those who wanted to be in the barracks All the days in Lili were eliminated. Obviously, I paid less than five years’ salary, but those fools staying in the barracks were still deeply grateful. I really do n’t understand how difficult it is to leave the barracks and work hard? Doing any business is more profitable than staying in the barracks …

 

holy light The Dominion of the Overseas Dominion, which lasted 607 years, has not had much movement. Except for the more striking alliance with the Pamigar National Republic, it spends the rest of its time on the internal affairs of the Dominion. Regardless of cooperating with the hard-fighting actions of the Dominion of the Dominion Council and the investigation of the administration of officials, they have fulfilled their role as supporting actors. The next step was to continue to house Hicks immigrants, reduce the number of eight Hicks return home divisions, and form the Hicks Volunteer Legion.

 

By the second half of the year, the autonomous region was busy reforming the military system, and implemented a five-year compulsory military service system and reserve military registration system within the autonomous region. By mid-October, news of the Black Sailing Pirates and the sailing fleet of the Kingdom of the Fux Islands uniting Kingdom again came to the west coast.

 

This time is the trouble for the Black Sails Pirates to actively seek the Fux Islands and the United Kingdom. They took the initiative to attack the sailing fleet stationed in the second colonial port, not only defeated and defeated the sailing fleet, but also captured the entire port and plundered three The genius left.

 

The Kingdom of Fux Islands was beaten and beaten very painfully this time. The so-called powerful maritime power has lost its initial threat, and what it has left is two seemingly powerful sailing fleets. But everyone with a good eye knows that the sailship battleship will soon be out of date, just as this time the sail sail pirates once again charged with twelve iron armored battleships, and then wrapped with sixteen copper-clad sails using the same steam-powered machinery as the ship’s steamship. Later, in one fell swoop, the rigorous defensive array provided by the Fux Islands United Kingdom Sail Fleet was defeated, and the enemy soon collapsed and fled on its own.

 

The result of this naval battle is that Kaman Ryan Kingdom no longer cares about the threat of maritime declaration and maritime blockade by the Fux Islands in conjunction with Kingdom, and directly mobilizes the army to take over the only remaining Resne Kingdom. The block colony directly kicked Resnia Kingdom out of the ranks of the western coast colonies of Nubissia.

 

The Relioro Dukedom colony on the other side of Resonia Kingdom ’s colony took a slow step, while the Kamanlein Kingdom colony moved so fast on the other side, and the other side also mobilized the army without the slightest hesitation. The second colony of the next-generation Fux Islands and Kingdom was launched.

 

The defensive forces on the Fux Islands and the Kingdom colony can also be regarded as bad luck. First, the powerful Kingdom sail fleet was defeated by the black sail pirates, and then they were rubbed on the ground by the black sail pirates plundered ashore Most of the property was robbed, and some wife daughters were robbed. It is not yet counted how much the loss was, and as a result, the new occupants of the Colonel of Dariodom in Riorio were ushered in. This Kingdom colony was gone and was announced to be merged into the Colonel of Dukedom in Riorio …
 

So when these six armored battleships appeared in the maritime armed fleet jointly formed by Kingdom of Carman Lane and Relioro Dukedom, the sailing fleet of Fux Islands United Kingdom facing the distance lost its courage to assault , Can only circle in the distance and dare not approach. The so-called maritime blockade ended without any problems …

 

Now the Dominion Commander has taken over a large list of twenty-four generations of iron armored battleships from Kaman Ryan Kingdom and Rerioro Dukedom, which will be delivered within one year. The envoys from the two countries who just received the deposit and sent away the purchase of the iron armored battleship have ushered in the Fux Islands United Kingdom’s procurement group.

 

“We want to buy 48 iron armored battleships …” said the special envoy of the Kingdom of Fux Islands United Kingdom.
