When leaving London, Marin's drama artist started an exaggerated Stephen Chow performance. He was cursing and boarding the ship. After boarding, facing the audience on the London Pier, Marin publicly pulled out his sword "Sadness of Frost", cut off a guardrail on the ship, and shouted loudly that Princess Margaret was his daughter-in-law and could only marry his son Caesar. Whoever dared to rob would cut off whom...
His performance really scared many people. Some English nobles began to worry about a civil war in China. After all, Marin had two legions of 10,000 people in England. If he forced him to force him to rebel, it was not a big deal.
Even Marin's performance scared the French. François I was extremely happy when he learned that Marin had a very unhappy relationship with England. He summoned his confidant nobles and secretly discussed the possibility of using Marin to provoke a British civil war.
After all, if Marlin's army provoked a civil war in Britain, England would inevitably be in chaos. By then, France would have the opportunity to annex England.
According to the inference of François I and his confidants - whether it is Edward or Marin, France will benefit.
Marin is not a weakling, but a ruthless person. Even if Edward can win, he will inevitably suffer heavy losses. At that time, it will be difficult to resist the invasion of France.
If Marin wins, he will be happy. Because Marin wins England in a bad way. At that time, he will be able to seize England in the name of helping Edward avenge. Perhaps, he will still receive a lot of responses from the English nobles...
Unfortunately, François I didn't know that his thoughts were just fantasies. Because Edward would not be so stupid as to turn against Marin. Even the English were ready to seize the Calais Fortress...
...
Back at Port Emden, Marin went to the indoor swimming pool of the secret base to visit the divers' training. Divers are very powerful troops. In later generations, divers in the army, also known as Frogman.
Frogmen are very powerful troops. They can conduct underwater reconnaissance, or dive near enemy ships, and use bombs to blast the enemy ships at the bottom. They are very powerful troops.
Moreover, in this era, the natural enemy of the frogman, the dolphin soldiers and underwater sonar, do not have them. If the frogman soldiers are trained well, they can be used to explode the enemy's warships.
For example, the frogman can snorkeleton below the enemy's main battleship. Then, use a suction cup device to suck the bomb at the bottom of the enemy ship and detonate it.
The ships of this era are all wooden boats, but they cannot withstand the explosion of bombs. Once the bottom of the ship leaks, the European sailing ships do not have the design of watertight compartments, so they can only sink...
Of course, in order to achieve combat goals, the Beihai Kingdom also has to develop suction cup devices to fix bombs. At the same time, it is necessary to develop a powerful bomb.
The black gunpowder is too weak and not very suitable for blasting ships. Therefore, Marin wanted to develop a bomb with greater power.
In fact, Marin already has smokeless powder. However, if this thing is not passivated, its performance is very unstable. Once it is passivated, the combustion speed will slow down and it is not suitable for being explosives. Therefore, Marin must find another way.
Unfortunately, Marin did not understand the manufacturing technology of the famous C-4 in later generations, so he could only regretfully give up this magical artifact.
Then, he didn't understand picy and sour things. Tienti and sour things were not clearly stated in later books (actually I dare not write them).
Well, then, there is only one option - Nobel dynamite...
Marin didn't dare to do this thing himself, so he could only find a few people who were not afraid of death to experiment. As for how to achieve a safe ratio, he could only try it with his life. Anyway, he didn't dare to configure the experiment himself.
If this kind of Norse explosive is successfully researched, combined with suction cup devices and moisture-proof ignition system, then the frogman troops can make the Spanish and Portuguese fleets call Dad...
...
In fact, Marin could also send divers troops during this battle in Calais City. But considering that it was still spring and the water was still cold. If the divers were frozen, it would not be worth the cost. If it waited until summer, Marin might agree to the divers to join the battle.
But time doesn't wait for anyone. By summer, the French government and the opposition might stabilize. At that time, the French might be taught to be a human being. Therefore, in a hurry, Marin could only count on the iron gate of the sewer to solve the French defense of Calais.
...
After inspecting the training of frogmen in the indoor heated swimming pool, Marin originally planned to rush back to Orich with Angela and Caesar, but suddenly a large ship was sailing back to Emden Military Port, forcing Marin to stay and Angela and Caesar to go back first.
What big ships appeared in the military port? It turned out that the shipyard in Long Island, New York successfully built a thousand-ton warship! The ship entering Emden Port was the 1,000-ton warship test ship developed by Mariner and the New York Shipyard!
As early as a few years ago, Marin issued the task of developing a thousand-ton warship. At first, the work was carried out at Emden Shipyard. But later, considering the confidentiality factor, Marin transferred the craftsmen who were mainly involved to the New York Shipyard.
The shipyards on Long Island in New York have mountainous timber piles up, all of which are high-quality oak of at least a few hundred years old cut from the North American continent, mainly red oak. Moreover, they have been air-dried for more than two years and have met the standards for shipbuilding.
At the Long Island Shipyard in New York, it is extremely simple to obtain qualified shipbuilding wood. Just run to any shelves where wood is stored to look for it. Moreover, every log can be used as a keel.
When the local Beihai country shipbuilders first came to the New York shipyard, they were ecstatic when they were in the rainproof canopy that was suitable for keels. But over time, because there were logs suitable for keels everywhere, these shipbuilders became numb. Even if they cut and decompose the logs suitable for keels and made into ribs, they would not feel a pity.
Originally, the thousand-ton warships were designed and planned to start construction. However, Malin suddenly brought back a group of treasure ship craftsmen from the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, he also ordered these craftsmen who knew how to build treasure ships to participate in the manufacturing of the thousand-ton warships, and required the application of watertight compartment technology to the manufacturing of new warships...
Then, the manufacturing of the thousand-ton warship was pushed back and forth. European shipbuilders were mainly responsible for the design and manufacturing of keel structures. The treasure ship craftsmen from the Ming Dynasty were mainly responsible for the design and manufacturing of watertight compartments. Then, the two were integrated to complete the warship together...
But it was precisely because of the fusion of the two schools that there was a lot of conflict of ideas at the beginning. Therefore, the cooperation between European craftsmen and Ming craftsmen was not pleasant at the beginning, and many contradictions arose.
For this reason, the shipbuilding progress slowed down so much. It was delayed for several years until the two craftsmen learned from each other and the integration of Eastern and Western technologies, and finally successfully built a thousand-ton warship with a watertight compartment design...
