One Piece of Song Dynasty

After leaving the craftsman academy, Li Xin walked to the shipyard. When he had nothing to do some time ago, Li Xin had the carpenter make models of the third- and fourth-class sailing battleships and handed them over to Xinghan City Shipyard, but now Xing The first task of the Seoul Shipyard is still the trial production of the -ton Gonggong ship and the -ton flying shear ship.

Now Xinghancheng Shipyard has been completely reduced to Xinghan Island Ship Technology R&D Center, only researching new ships and ship manufacturing technology, and all large-scale shipbuilding has been transferred to Jilongcheng Shipyard.

Coming to the shipyard, the scale of the shipyard is now much larger than at the beginning. Although it does not need large-scale shipbuilding, it still needs to trial-produce new ships, and the tonnage of the new ships is much larger than before.

Li Xin walked around the new -ton Gonggong ship. This new ship can be said to be twice the size of the original -ton Gonggong ship. However, it has thirty-two gun ports, including Fifteen on each side and two on the bow. The new Gonggong ship Li Xin plans to still mainly use five-jin and ten-jin guns, while the twenty-jin and thirty-jin guns Li Xin are mainly used to equip three-level and four-level guns. For use on class battleships.

When the shipyard manager saw Li Xin standing next to the new ship, he looked forward and said, "The master is here."

Li Xin nodded and said: "Well, I came to see how the construction progress of the two new ships is going. Uncle Liu, how long does it take for this Gonggong II ship to be completed?"

Old Man Liu thought for a while and said: "It will be almost another month. The flying shear type ship next to it has just started to be built. It will take longer. It may take more than three months to complete."

Li Xin thought for a while and said: "It will be built in one month, and there will be sea trials in another month. In other words, if there is no problem, the Gonggong II type ship will have two months to enter the navy, while the flying shear type II ship will need It’s been four months.”

Old Man Liu nodded and said, "Yes, Master."

Li Xin said: "Okay, after these two new types of ships can be put into service, let Jilong Shipyard build a hundred ships each."

Old man Liu replied: "Yes, the master's family."

Li Xin continued: "After you have trial-produced these two types of new ships, you will begin trial-production of two new ships, the Dayu type and the Flying Shear III type. Dayu's two types of ships, one has a carrying capacity of tons, and the other has a carrying capacity of tons. The third type has a carrying capacity of tons, and the flying shear type has a carrying capacity of tons." Dayu is the name Li Xin gave to the new sail battleship.

Old man Liu said thoughtfully: "Okay, Master, how many gun ports are designed for each of the two new Dayu ships?"

Li Xin thought for a while and said: "The Dayu Type , -ton class, has forty-eight gun ports, with a manpower of people, and the Dayu Type , -ton class, has gun ports, with a manpower of seven. Hundreds of people."

Old man Liu clasped his fists and said, "Yes, my master, I have all taken note of it."

Li Xin pointed around and said, "I see that our shipyard has added a lot of hydraulic machinery."

Old Man Liu said: "Yes, this is all thanks to the scholars in the college. They have helped us a lot. These hydraulic machines have improved our efficiency a lot and saved us a lot of effort."

Li Xin nodded and said, "Well, Uncle Liu, please be busy. I'll be back first."

After going around in a circle, Li Xin returned home with satisfaction.

Li Xin got up early the next day, because today was the day when Li Xin went to the Wushu Academy to give lectures. Since the Wushu Academy started, Li Xin went to the Wushu Academy to give lectures every three days when he had nothing to do.

Today Li Xin plans to teach the students about special operations. The theory of special operations has been lost in later generations, but it is still relatively new in this era.

When they came to the classroom, all the students were already here. After all, Li Xin was giving lectures in person, so being late would definitely not exist. Even Liu Fa would sometimes come to listen to Li Xin's lectures.

Li Xin coughed twice: "Okay, fellow students, I will teach you about special operations in the first class today. What is special operations? Special operations means that a country or an organization performs for the purpose of peacetime and wartime. To achieve a specific strategic campaign goal, lead and command combat operations carried out in special ways and means, mainly by special forces that are specially organized, trained and equipped, or by elite units temporarily formed according to the needs of the mission. Their actions have special purposes, It has the characteristics of careful planning, unique methods, diverse means, sudden concealment, and quick victory.

To put it more simply, we select some of the best soldiers and officers from our army to form special forces. Of course, they must also undergo very strict training, and their training programs are much more than that of our ordinary soldiers. , For example, they need to learn various languages, they also need to be proficient in using all the weapons of our army, and they also need to learn makeup and other skills. "

When Li Xin just said this, a student named Liang Qin raised his hand and asked: "Teacher, why do you still need to learn languages ​​​​and makeup?"

Li Xin replied: "Because the mission targets of special operations are usually in the enemy's country. For example, if you want to go to the Kingdom of Jin to perform a mission, and you want to go to the Kingdom of Jin dressed as a Han, how conspicuous will you be standing on the street? How can you carry out missions if you don't speak Chinese in the same way, so dressing up in the enemy's clothes and learning the enemy's language are necessary skills for special forces."

The student named Zheng Zhong raised his hand again and asked: "Teacher, what is the main mission goal of special operations?"

Li Xin then replied: "I will give you a few examples and you will understand, such as sneaking into the enemy's territory to assassinate the opponent's senior officials, destroying the opponent's granary and other important places, sneaking into the enemy's city to control the city gate, and sneaking into the enemy's rear to sabotage the enemy's grain and grass transportation. team, rescue our captured intelligence personnel, contact our intelligence personnel to retrieve important intelligence, etc."

Liang Qin said: "Then there is no difference between special forces and secret agents."

Li Xin thought for a while and said: "There is still a difference. Secret agents need to live in the enemy's country for a long time and have contact with enemy personnel. Moreover, the main task of the secret agents is to collect all aspects of intelligence about the enemy's country, while the special forces go to the enemy's country to carry out operations. Tasks that are inconvenient for spies to perform do not require living in the enemy's country or having too much contact with enemy personnel. You must know that every spy who breaks into the enemy's country is extremely valuable, so for those who are easily exposed, They are not required to perform tasks. Of course, if there are insufficient spies and personnel need to be dispatched to serve as spies, it is possible that personnel will be transferred from the special forces."

Liang Qin nodded and said, "Teacher, students understand."

Li Xin continued: "Actually, a certain person once formed two special forces. I believe you have all heard of the name Xuanwu Battalion, but now they have been merged into a certain guard camp by a certain person, and the other one is the water ghost team of the navy army. , these two are the earliest special forces formed by a certain group, but in the true sense they can only be regarded as half of the special forces, because they have not learned all the skills and they have not learned many things, so after you complete your studies and graduate, a certain It is necessary to re-establish the first real special forces in our army, and this force will still be named Xuanwu Battalion."
