Chapter 1093(1/2)
Following Li Xiao's words, everyone around burst into laughter.
Aircraft engine technology is still immature, and noise and vibration problems make pilots physically and mentally exhausted.
It can be said that entering the cabin once is not much different from the previous torture.
Simply put, the combat radius of current aircraft is relatively small and the flight time is relatively short.
If the flight time is too long, some pilots may commit suicide.
"Commander, today our ship is actually taking off and landing aircraft. Please give me a name, Commander!" Captain Zhang Zheng knelt down on one knee and asked Li Xiao to give him a name.
"Since it is produced in Liaodong, it is better to call it Liaodong.
From now on, our aircraft carriers will all be named after provincial-level place names."
The naming of Ming warships has been clearly stipulated, and destroyers generally use the names of Fudao.
It seems that all the previous names like "Yuan Yuan", "Super Brave" and "Yang Wei" have been abandoned.
The latest ones seem to be the Zhengzhou ship, Jinan ship, Tianjin ship, Wuhan ship...!
As for the battleships, they are all named after mountains.
For example: Kunlun Mountain, Changbai Mountain, Tianshan Mountain...!
Li Xiao named the first aircraft carrier Liaodong, which also established a new naming rule, that is, the name of the aircraft carrier must be named after saving lives.
"Liaodong ship! Liaodong ship!
Brothers, our ship has a name. The commander-in-chief gave it the name, Liaodong Ship!" Zhang Zheng stood up and shouted loudly.
"Liaodong ship! Liaodong ship!"
The soldiers' shouts echoed far across the sea, even covering the sound of the waves.
"Brother, let's see when the Liaodong ship will be commissioned." As a naval commander, how could he not be tempted when seeing such a treasure?
"The Liaodong ship will not enter the fleet, but will serve as a training ship and be stationed in Port Arthur." Li Xiao looked at the sea and said lightly.
"Training ship?" Li Xiu was a little confused.
The aircraft carrier I had longed for was finally built, but I didn’t expect it had anything to do with me.
If you want to have an aircraft carrier at your disposal, you need to wait for the next one.
"To the training ship!
Look at the things on this aircraft carrier. None of them require highly skilled people to operate.
There are also carrier-based aircraft pilots who also need to practice taking off and landing on the aircraft carrier again and again.
Now that you have removed all the people, no one will fly the next aircraft carrier. Even if it reaches the sea, no one will be able to fly a plane on it to take off and land.
The land training center in Ningyuan City can only be used as a primary training ground. If you want to train qualified pilots, you have to rely on a real aircraft carrier."
Hearing what Li Xiao said, Li Xiu had no choice but to do anything.
Because what Li Xiao said makes sense, the Liaodong ship can be used as a training ship to ensure that all future aircraft carriers will have qualified crew members available.
As the commander of the navy, Li Xiutai knows how skilled the navy is.
Every year, the Naval Academy trains many officers, and every year many officers and non-commissioned officers re-enter the Naval University to study.
There's no way around it. The rapid advancements in technology are making people feel dizzying.
You have to go back to the furnace every three to five years, otherwise the new stuff won't work at all.
"Soon, the second aircraft carrier will be ready for sea trials in another year. This second aircraft carrier is much more powerful than the first one.
Many design flaws have also been corrected.
The third ship is better than the second one, it can be said that the best and most powerful ship is always the next one."
"Brother is right." Li Xiu, who was scolded by his eldest brother and did not take over the Liaodong ship, was a little disinterested.
"Your headquarters is in Egypt. Tell me what the situation is like in the Middle East."
Li Xiao knew that Li Xiu had established his own intelligence network in Egypt.
Most of the people employed were Europeans and Arabs. It was naturally much easier for these locals to find out information than it was for the Ming people to disguise themselves.
"The Hebrews are still catching up, and almost every day Hebrews come to Israel from all over the world.
Their method of identifying Jews was to test whether they could recite Jewish scriptures.
Those complicated classics are basically impossible to understand in a short period of time if you don't study them from an early age.
Sometimes if you make the wrong word or action, you may be taken away by the secret police."
"Oh, secret police? Are they still doing this?" This was the first time Li Xiao heard that the Israelis had established a secret police.
"To be precise, it's called Mossad, and their headquarters is in Odessa.
This is a very mysterious organization, responsible for external intelligence and internal eradication of spies.
They also seemed to be trying to send spies to the Ming Dynasty, and many were caught in Singapore."
"I know this. Luzhu even sent someone to join them. He said he would bring them information, but in the end he just took the money and left.
Sometimes, false information was sold to the Hebrews for a large price.
Despite being fooled many times, the Hebrews still enjoyed it.
In Luzhu’s words, the Hebrews are stupid people who take advantage of themselves and have a lot of money. If you don’t cheat them, who will you cheat?”
Li Xiao almost laughed when he mentioned the Hebrew spies.
The Hebrews are really out of their minds. When they have no way to check the authenticity of the information, they just throw out huge sums of money. Are they not waiting to be deceived?
But the Hebrews were so willing to be slaughtered, and they were slaughtered without any regrets.
This also shows how much the Hebrews wanted to get information about the Ming Dynasty. No matter what kind of information is good, as long as it is information about the Ming Dynasty.
It has even reached the point of speaking in a hurry, to the point of not being able to distinguish between true and false.
Maybe they were holding on to the idea that it would be good if one of the ten pieces of information was true.
Unfortunately, ten out of ten pieces of information they received were false.
Foreigners are not allowed to pass through Singapore or enter the South China Sea. This is a very strict prohibition!
Any ship that detects Westerners in the South China Sea.
Including but not limited to Arabs and Indians, you can directly chop off their heads and then go to the Ming government to receive the reward.
The ban was enforced in the most severe manner. In every port of the Ming Dynasty, anyone who saw a Western face would be mercilessly killed.
The same bans exist in Jiaozhi, Japan, and North Korea's ports.
Because there are obvious differences in appearance between Eastern and Western people, the number of foreigners in the Ming Dynasty was even smaller than the number of pandas.
Even in prosperous metropolises like Beijing and Jinling.
There are basically no Westerners!
As for Liaodong, where even Japanese and Koreans were not allowed to land, it was even more impossible for Westerners.
Just like this, under the copper and iron walls built by Li Xiao.
The first line of defense of the Ming Dynasty Intelligence Protection Network was placed thousands of miles away in Singapore.
Under heavy protection, the leakage of Ming's technical information has been greatly improved.
These new technologies have never fallen into the hands of Westerners.
"Brother, there is one more thing. I have to tell you!" Li Xiu said, his face became serious.
"What?" Li Xiao saw Li Xiu like this and knew it must be something big.
"The North American Territory is now attracting more and more people to settle there.
These people include not only the British, but also the French and Spanish.
In some places in the southern part of the North American Territory, local slave owners raised many black slaves.
The black slaves worked together in the fields to pick and work, and the income they received could not even provide them with food and clothing.
And the information I got is that because of the unique conditions of the North American Territory, people who have not done well in Europe are now immigrating to the North American Territory in large numbers.
besides!
The president of the North American Territory seems to be supported by the Hebrews.
There are even presidents who are more directly Hebrews.
I feel that the North American territory poses a greater threat to us than the small geographical area of Israel.
The latest intelligence is that people in the North American Territory are actively exploring westward. The local indigenous Indians are being killed in batches.
They even offered bounties for Indian scalps."
"Scalp...! Oh." Li Xiao didn't understand the method of scalp removal at first.
Then I thought about it, how can a person live without his scalp? This is almost like openly buying someone’s life.
To be continued...
