Rebirth of The Deer and the Cauldron, Wei Xiaobao Becomes a God
Chapter 129: The Heavenly Army Arrives at Osumi
The current era is the third shogunate, the Edo shogunate, which was created by Tokugawa Ieyasu. Similarly, during this period, the position of Shogun was passed down from generation to generation by the Tokugawa family, so the Edo shogunate is often referred to as the Tokugawa shogunate.
In the long history of Japan, the Shogunate era is undoubtedly a legendary period.
However, surprisingly, no matter which family held power, they never dared to proclaim themselves emperor. If we dig deeper into the reasons, we can attribute them to two key factors.
First, the emperor was regarded as a descendant of Amaterasu, and according to legend, Emperor Jimmu was the biological son of this deity.
For the Japanese people, their belief in Amaterasu is as devout as the Chinese people's respect for Guanyin Bodhisattva.
However, only Wei Xiaobao knew that this so-called god was actually just a father invented by the charlatan Xu Fu for himself.
But Atsushi knew nothing about this. He only understood that as long as Ling Jiao could make good use of the name of Emperor Jimmu, he would definitely bring a lot of trouble to Tokugawa Koyasu.
Second, Japan has been like a pile of loose sand since ancient times. The daimyo in various places are like warlords who rule their own territories and often turn a deaf ear to the orders of the shogunate rulers.
This decentralized power structure made any attempt to dominate the world extremely difficult, and also explained why no one dared to risk the world's disapproval and call himself the emperor.
Houxi was full of hope that Ling Zhao could defeat the Tokugawa Shogunate, because he knew that the Heaven and Earth Federation was Ling Zhao's greatest support.
Today, the Osumi Oshima Port on the coast welcomed an extremely unusual day. The Tiandi Army, which was supposed to arrive in five months, arrived half a month earlier!
There are many reasons for this, but the successful manufacturing and completion of three ironclad ships and five treasure ships are undoubtedly the key factors.
These three ironclad ships are not only a symbol of powerful maritime force, but also highlight the continuous breakthroughs and progress of the Tiandi Federation in the field of military technology.
The solidity and power of the ironclad ships allow the Tiandi Army to be confident and move forward courageously in the face of any challenge at sea.
The completion of the five treasure ships further enriched the means of maritime warfare and laid a solid foundation for future maritime strategic layout.
In addition to the improvement of hardware facilities, the bullets for the Gew98 Mauser rifle have been mass-produced, which is also a factor that cannot be underestimated.
The caliber of this bullet is 7.92mm, with a capacity of five rounds. The maximum range reaches an astonishing 2000 meters, and the effective range is also stable at 500 meters.
This rifle was produced in Germany in 1898. It not only played a huge role in the German Army's First and Second Wars, but its performance and reliability were also widely recognized.
Wei Xiaobao equipped this batch of Mauser rifles with S84/98III bayonets. This bayonet is well-designed, in the shape of a dagger, with a sharp blade on one side and wide blood grooves on both sides. It not only has a powerful stabbing function, but also reflects exquisite craftsmanship.
The bayonet blade is 25.1 cm long, the handle is 13.3 cm long, the entire knife is 38.4 cm long, and the total weight is 0.42 kg. It is light and sharp, very suitable for close combat.
At the same time, the bayonet is also equipped with a bayonet scabbard with a metal ring, which can be conveniently hung on the belt, making it convenient to carry, safe and practical.
The early arrival of the Tiandi Army not only demonstrated the strong strength of the Tiandi Federation in the military field, but also indicated that Wei Xiaobao's future marine strategic layout will be more complete and powerful.
On this vast ocean, the Heaven and Earth Alliance will move towards the deep blue with more determined steps.
Wei Xiaobao boarded the three newly completed ironclad warships with full joy and anticipation.
These three huge ships are simply replicas of the Dragon we saw before. They are equally majestic, like three steel beasts lurking above the sea.
The numbers 202, 203, and 204 were prominently painted on the hull, and the Dragon was naturally numbered 201 like their older brothers.
Each battleship has a very intimidating name: Qinglong, Huanglong and Bailong!
These names not only represent powerful strength, but also reveal an unparalleled majesty that inspires awe.
Wei Xiaobao was very excited about everything he saw, but he also felt a great sense of responsibility. He knew that these ironclad ships were not only powerful weapons, but also the hope and future of the country.
They will shoulder the heavy responsibility of defending the sea borders and safeguarding national interests, and as one of them, we must go all out and live up to our mission.
After being shocked by the three ironclad ships, Wei Xiaobao couldn't wait to visit the other three treasure ships.
These three treasure ships were significantly different from the previous two. Their displacement reached an astonishing 2500 tons, making them like giants on the sea.
What is even more remarkable is that they are also equipped with steam engines, which inject even more powerful power into this behemoth.
The horsepower of the steam engine even exceeded that of the ironclad ship, reaching an astonishing 3000 horsepower, which enabled the treasure ship to reach a speed of thirteen knots, keeping pace with the ironclad ship.
These three treasure ships not only have powerful carrying capabilities, but also have impressive attack capabilities.
They were equipped with a 280mm Krupp cannon at the front and back. This cannon was extremely powerful, had a long range and high accuracy, allowing the treasure ships to have strong attack capabilities while carrying cargo.
In this way, the treasure ship no longer needs to rely on the protection of frigates and can travel alone and explore the vast ocean.
Recalling the previous two treasure ships, they had returned to the Naha Shipyard to be equipped with steam engines and naval guns.
I believe that in the near future, they will arrive at Osumi in a new look and form a powerful maritime fleet together with these five treasure ships.
These five treasure ships were uniformly numbered 501 to 505. Although they did not yet have unique names, the power and glory they contained were self-evident.
They are the overlords of the sea, the pride of the Heaven and Earth Federation, and the dream and expectation in Wei Xiaobao's heart.
With these ironclad ships and large treasure ships, it would be easier to obtain the territory value in the system, and Wei Xiaobao could draw from the golden treasure chests to his heart's content.
On the beautiful treasure ship No. 505, Wei Xiaobao met an unexpected acquaintance. On this vast ocean, the intersection of fate made the two former comrades-in-arms meet again, and their meeting was full of surprises and emotions.
"Master Wei, are you really Master Wei?" A burly sailor with slightly dark skin walked straight forward despite the obstruction of his superiors, looking at Wei Xiaobao with surprise on his face.
