1918: Air Force
When it was dawn, Dancy walked out of his cabin, stretched his waist and rubbed it hard for a few times. He looked a little tired. He looked back at the woman behind him who was full of spring and extremely satisfied eyebrows. While feeling proud, he sighed that time was still unforgivable.
He was about to arrive at his destination. With his powerful troops, the opponent basically had no way to resist. What he was most worried about along the way was not the enemy's resistance but the harm of the weather to the army. Although the chance of a storm on the sea is very small in this season, who can tell the truth about God's affairs?
Fortunately, God blessed me. Although there were some small winds and waves along the way and some small boats were lost, overall, it was smooth sailing. It seemed that this was God's will. Perhaps even God hoped that he could make new achievements this time.
While excited, I couldn't help but feel a little indulgent. Last night, amid the sound of the waves of the sea hitting the side of the ship, I was so happy that I completely let go. It has been a long time since I let go of everything and thought about nothing. Although I was very happy, I still left some sequelae.
Ten years have gone back, let alone a woman, even if you come a few more, you can easily control it! You are really old!
While sighing that time is unforgiving, Dance happily looked at the huge group of warships and was busy preparing for the new day.
It is not suitable for sailing at night. Every night, these huge warships will be connected together with iron chains one by one. After hundreds of warships are connected together, the scene is spectacular. This is not only to resist the possible storms on the sea, but also to provide a place for the soldiers on the ship to move.
It may not matter to the sailors, but there are also a large number of troops in this team. Although they have already survived the most difficult journey of long-distance sailing, they are still very uncomfortable with the long-term sailing. In more than a month, the army has died of illness by hundreds of people.
The army was merciless to the sick people. When they found one, they would immediately throw their fortune into the sea. For this reason, a lot of dirty things arose between the army and the navy. Finally, Dance forced the army generals to obey the arrangements of the navy generals at sea before they could be fine. Dancy knew that when a large army sailed on the sea, disease was a very terrible thing. In such a narrow environment on the ship, once the disease spreads, it would be the end of the destruction of the entire ship.
Later, Drop came up with such a way. After hundreds of ships were connected together, a huge platform appeared on the sea surface, and the soldiers on the ship could come and go freely. In this way, the sick army soldiers were miraculously excited. Whenever they saw their soldiers performing some drills on this big platform, Dance was extremely proud.
From the very end, after unblocking the chains, one warship after another sailed towards the periphery to make way for the warships behind. It would take some time for hundreds of warships to completely escape.
The woman behind her, who seemed more enchanting and charming, brought a stool from the house in a considerate way, letting Danxi sit on it, and squatted behind her, stretched out her hands to gently rub Dance for her. Danxi laughed a few times, patted the woman's face with her backhand, and then turned her attention to Dajun again.
Drop rushed up in a hurry, with a happy face, saluted Danshi, and shouted: "Your Majesty, the boat sent out last night has returned. They said that last night, they saw the lights in the distance and we are about to arrive at our destination."
"Light?" Dance was a little surprised.
"Yes, it's a lighthouse! The lighthouse that guides ships to sail. The weather was very good last night. Although it was very blurry, it could still be seen clearly. And there were more than one. They moved a distance along the direction guided by these lights and found that there were many lighthouses." Drop said happily. For them, lighthouses are not rare. There are such lighthouses on the Western Continent and the coastline. But I didn't expect that there were also East Continent. Didn't Qin Li say that the East Continent has limited strength on the sea? Building a lighthouse is not an easy task. The site selection, construction, and the manpower and material resources invested in this are very expensive. After completion, in order to maintain his use, someone needs to stay, which is also a costly matter. Only places with very developed sea transportation will do such things. In the Western Continent, lighthouses are not popular, and they are only built around some important ports.
However, at this time, Dance obviously did not think so much. He was so deep. He was just happy that the long sea voyage was finally over. Although Dance's Tiger Dynasty had a powerful navy, for him, he was still a general galloping across the sky on land. He led his troops to fight at sea in his lifetime.
"In other words, today, we can reach our destination and start fighting!" The high-spirited fighting spirit was vigorously emanating from him. The murderous aura instantly made the woman behind him shudder, and a layer of sweat immediately appeared on his body.
"Yes, my king, we can log in tonight at the latest." Drop said relaxedly.
"Tell my generals this good news. After getting ashore, you will not take up your swords and weapons within three days!" Dancy said with a big laugh.
If you don’t take up swords and weapons for three days, it means that within three days, there is no military discipline constraint and the soldiers will be allowed to do whatever they want. The soldiers sailing on the sea for a long time is so depressed that they need a channel to vent their emotions during this period. A wanton killing will make future soldiers more combat-effective.
Danxi had no mercy in his heart for those who were about to suffer the disaster of war in the occupied areas. After conquering these places, the indigenous people in this place would only become slaves to their meritorious soldiers, killing some slaves and taking away their property. In Danxi's view, this was just a natural thing.
"Drop thanks Your Majesty for the soldiers." Drop said with a smile. After such a long sailing on the sea, not to mention ordinary soldiers, even a person with strict self-discipline, he felt extremely depressed. He needed his own sword to see blood, and he needed a woman to vent. He glanced at the woman behind Dance, and a trace of desire flashed in his eyes. He immediately raised his head and looked at the sky to hide his emotions. This is His Majesty's woman, not something he can touch, and even thinking about it is a sin.
Drop, who looked at the sky in the distance, blinked a few times, and was a little stunned. A row of black dots appeared in the horizon in the distance. Is it a bird? It is unlikely that I can see it so far. If I fly closer, how big would the bird be?
In surprise, he took off a monocular lens from under his waist and looked at the black spots in the distance. After only one glance, his body was slightly shocked.
"What is that?" he exclaimed.
Mononites are not uncommon for people in the Western Continent. Glass itself was originally produced. During the years of production, craftsmen gradually discovered that through the difference in thickness of the glass sheet, they could create telescopes that are of great use in military use. This thing naturally appeared. However, unlike the Ming Dynasty who had already figured out the specific truth, in the Western Continent, they lacked systematic theoretical research and acted more based on experience. Grinding lenses is a very tedious thing, and the probability of failure is extremely high.
"What?" Dance looked at Drop's expression, raised his eyebrows, took the telescope from Drop's hand and looked into the distance. He was stunned when he saw it.
In the telescope, a row of ten big guys floating in the air, slowly flying towards them. It seemed like a huge ball, with an extremely huge box hanging underneath.
"What is that?" he asked again. Although he didn't know what was flying in the air, he knew the huge sun and moon flag printed on the snow-white body.
The owner of this sign is their main goal of this long-distance journey.
Han Dang was extremely excited. He discovered the enemy's main force.
The airship unit led by him came from the Ming Dynasty with Qin Feng and a total of ten new airships equipped with small steam engines. The successful development of the small steam engine greatly improved the speed and maneuverability of the airship, which was many times stronger than the airships driven by manpower and wind that arrived here earlier.
Of course, without discovering the enemy, Han Dang still used the wind power to fly the airship as much as possible. He needed to save fuel as much as possible so that he could devote himself to the battle for a longer time. Even though the Ming Dynasty Coal Research Institute, which had just been established, developed a variety of more burn-resistant coals, limited by the characteristics of the airship itself, it could not carry too much fuel. Nowadays, airships can not only undertake reconnaissance tasks, they can also participate in battles. The airship troops were also officially named the Air Force by Emperor Qin Feng of the Ming Dynasty.
The current Ming Dynasty Department of War has three combat departments, namely the Army Operations Department, the Navy Operations Department, and the newly established Air Force Operations Department.
Of course, the Air Force is Xiaoyao now. It is full of plans. There are only dozens of airships, but it is obvious that His Majesty attaches great importance to this department and, despite the opposition of others, directly lifts the Air Force to such a high level. Although Han Dang is only the commander of less than a hundred airships, his soldiers are less than 3,000, but his level is real, and he can directly talk to Zhang Xiaozheng, the boss of the Ministry of War.
