Of course, maybe they will have a tacit understanding in the future, and they can cooperate even if they don’t shout, but don’t pin your hopes on this. What the army wants is universality, and what is applicable to everyone is the best. It's all very well to be better, but never doubt what you do.

Zhang Nuo knew what these people were doing and was about to go to sea, so the captain's first thing to do was to take people to inspect the entire ship.

This is what a captain must be aware of. A captain who doesn't even know the specifics of his own ship is basically useless.

At the same time, all departments must thoroughly check the things they have in hand. You must know that if you really reach the sea, you will have to fight with the world. Any carelessness will be fatal!

Chapter 734

Zhang Nuo's life at sea was actually much better than before, not only because he had already had experience in sailing at sea several times, but more importantly, the weather was good this time.

You must know that when this channel was first opened to navigation, the time he came up was violent and stormy, and he basically vomited out non-stop in those few days.

But this time the voyage was completely different. Although the Dingyuan ship under her feet was not a behemoth-class warship, it was not a small ship in this day and age.

When sailing at sea, one should look at the weather and the boat. The weather is good and the boat is big enough, which naturally makes the voyage more comfortable.

Of course, another very important reason is that not only these ten warships came out this time, but they were also dragging some merchant ships and fishing boats that were about to be scrapped.

These are prepared for exercises. After all, everything in the Navy is new. Although everyone has learned a lot of theoretical knowledge, they have no practical experience after all.

Instead of using your life to pay the tuition, it is better to participate in more exercises and find problems during the exercise.

Zhang Nuo attached great importance to this. This is not a joke. No matter how good the test scores of the students trained in the military academy are, there is still a big gap between them and the real army commanders.

Not to mention anything else, let's just talk about the on-the-spot response. Seasoned commanders have sufficient experience to deal with various difficult and miscellaneous diseases. Even if they have never seen it, at least there will be a countermeasure. Let the situation not worsen.

But the graduates of the military school who just left the school are miserable. They have a lot of experience. Slowly enriched in the work.

For the exercise arranged by Zhang Nuo, these graduates have no objection, because even in the old army they all know that the exercise is necessary. When Zhang Nuo was staying in Chang'an City, he could often see the soldiers on the left and right. Wei's large-scale drill.

There are even injuries and even deaths during the drills every year, which shows the intensity of the drills.

This is a good opportunity to ensure the combat effectiveness of troops during non-combat times, while improving the commanding level of commanders and verifying new tactics.

The exercise at sea arranged by Zhang Nuo this time is also for the same purpose.

The content of the exercise is very simple, search, bombardment, connection, and captives. From the very beginning, the search for the enemy fleet is the beginning of the exercise, and then the entire fleet bombards the enemy. reduce the opponent's chances of escaping.

And then there is the connecting battle, which is the legendary jump gang. The sailors need to rush from their own ship to the opponent's ship through the springboard and cables, and finally capture the entire ship and finally win the entire fleet.

In fact, such a tactic is not so much a naval tactic as a pirate tactic. At least in Zhang Nuo's memory, it seems that the pirates in Pirates of the Caribbean played it this way.

However, it has to be said that every item of the exercise is purposeful. If the two countries are really engaged in a battle at sea, then the shelling time should be extended. In the end, if you can capture any prisoners, it will be fine.

You must know that Zhang Nuo was still in a daze for a long time when he got this exercise plan. Is this Nima a naval academy or a pirate base? When he rushed towards the opponent's ship with a knife in his mouth and a small ax hanging from his waist, he felt like he was watching a realistic version of a pirate movie blockbuster.

According to the regulations of the exercise, at the beginning, a ship dragged all these exercise ships out of the main channel, and then hid aside to serve as an observation post for the exercise.

The first thing the naval fleet had to do after leaving for a whole day was to find this fleet. Fortunately, everyone did a good job. After analyzing various factors such as wind direction, ocean current, and time, they made a comprehensive judgment except for the approximate position and range.

After that, it was time to investigate the target area. It took only half a day for the naval fleet to find the "fleet" floating in the sea without a single person.

But the naval fleet was not careless, and strictly followed the requirements of the exercise as an actual combat. First, it quickly maneuvered with full sail to seize the T prefix, and then all the ships opened fire for the first time, and the indiscriminate bombing made holes all over there.

After that it's a quick approach, assigning a target and getting on board.

And the scene that Zhang Nuo saw before was the last gang jumping and captive part. These men who have been learning and practicing, and have basically adapted to life at sea, can basically make everyone on the boat feel like they are walking on the ground. , Naturally, you won't be afraid of this kind of gang fight.

The exercise ended in the afternoon. Of the seven or eight boats that were pulled out, only three remained, and these three were still in dilapidated condition. If the craftsmen on board hadn't urgently repaired them, it is estimated that these boats were messed up. It will sink if it does not reach the port.

At this time, Zhang Nuo didn't care about the outdated broken ships. He was participating in the exercise seminar. This meeting was held to summarize the problems that occurred during the exercise and propose solutions.

A good exercise is necessary from the initial preparation, to the middle execution and the final reflection. Without the final reflection, the effect of the exercise will be at least half less.

And it's not just these officers who have to reflect, even after arriving at the port, they have to hold a plenary meeting, and everyone in the fleet must participate, and the departments and ships will continue to discuss the problems existing in the exercise.

This is not a joke. None of these people have real voyage experience. Even if they study well, they will inevitably have flaws in the face of reality, and sometimes a negligence that has not been discovered now can pull the whole ship in time. people died.

This is not just a reminder from Zhang Nuo, in fact, this kind of thing has happened in the military before, and the problems exposed during the drill are often the kind that can surprise people.

There are even a few issues that can be directly brought to the emperor's case. After all, it involves the issue of national defense security and the stability of the army, and it cannot be overemphasized.

Zhang Nuo also put a lot of thought into this troop that he directly formed himself, so naturally he would not easily let go of these opportunities that can improve the combat effectiveness of the troop and accelerate the growth of the troop.

Therefore, Zhang Nuo not only participated in the seminar seriously, but also put forward his own opinions in a serious manner, and asked everyone to put forward rectification opinions and implement them into practice, instead of just talking about it.

Chapter 735

It was no secret that Zhang Nuo led the entire fleet dangling on the sea, and it was no secret that it was spread by merchant ships passing through the entire strait.

Seeing the uniformly painted warships with people coming and going sailing through the wind and waves, everyone inexplicably felt relieved.

Although pirates are not as rampant as in later generations these days, let alone the three-masted sailing ships produced in the port area that are in short supply, it does not mean that there are no more.

After all, in any age there are always people who want to make a fortune by doing crooked ways as soon as their brains get hot, especially in the sea. This kind of thing is more difficult but easier to do.

As long as one ship is intercepted, a fortune can be made.

The goods on the bare ship can be sold for a lot of money even on the black market, let alone a good big ship.

However, at present, the fleets that travel between Pyongyang City Port and Dengzhou Port are basically fleets formed by chambers of commerce controlled by Xungui. In the beginning, these fleets were not to guard against pirates, but to resist wind and waves. Never a single boat goes to sea, basically at least three or five boats will go to sea together.

Of course, if there is no almost non-stop logistics demand on both sides, the fleet will not be made to wait so much. After all, delaying time means delaying earning money.

But the huge logistics demand in the port area has smoothed out all these risks. You don’t need to wait for other ships at all. As long as you have space on your ship, let alone three or five ships, even if there are several times more ships, you can get them immediately. Fill you up and tell you to fuck off.

In this way, after all the small fleets come and go, they are not very friendly to pirates.
