Chapter 243 Li Huamei and the Navy

At the same time, Li Huamei on the Hangzhou taunted Le Lin who was steering, saying that his steering skills would only bring the boat to the reef.Lelin's neat U.S. Navy uniform was soaked by the flying waves, and she was being teased mercilessly by the beauty. She looked horrible.Then she yelled at the sailors who had climbed on the masts and trusses for more than an hour and hadn't put down the sails, but were trembling with the masts: "How long are you groundhogs going to hug? Are you going to ask for the mast as a wife?!"

Li Haiping was trembling on it, and climbing the truss on the swaying mast more than ten meters high was really not a job that ordinary people could do. Said to roll the canvas.He held on to the rope net tightly, feeling his body was constantly heaving and shaking, and complaining in his heart—I didn't expect this sailboat to be so fun, it seems that he must be a hardcore steam ironclad ship in the future.

Look at Lao Di next to him, who is worse than himself - Lao Di used to work in the army, but for some reason he wanted to work in the marines. He became the company commander of the navy company.He likes to talk about army building issues. He keeps talking about K98, Tiger tanks, and 88mm cannons all day long.He always said that climbing the mast was a piece of cake for him, but he did not expect that he would have diarrhea for the first time on the ship.At this time, I didn't even climb up the truss, and I held the mast halfway with my eyes closed. NND, Li Haiping thought that we modern people should not be afraid of heights, no matter where we go, we have to climb several floors...

"Okay, all of you come down. It's really embarrassing to see you." Li Huamei probably didn't have any hope for them.

"I have leg cramps today, and I can't use my strength." Lao Di emphasized the objective factors immediately, "Really, you see, it's still numb now—"

"It's God's blessing that you can survive in Lingao until now." Li Huamei smiled, "You still want to drive a boat by yourself? You can't even climb a mast."

It's depressing and irrefutable.Li Haiping was speechless.However, she greatly appreciates the detailed division of responsibilities of each sailor and the continuous various targeted exercises, and at the same time is very interested in the Delinger pistols equipped by the navy.He saw it in his eyes, and was secretly happy in his heart, as long as he had a weakness, it would be fine.

Panting, Mond, whose clothes were blackened by the mast, protested: "Who said the captain must be able to climb the mast? Does the captain have to go to the boiler by himself?" Speaking of this, he suddenly realized that Li Huamei didn't know what it meant Boiler, then changed his words again, "We are high-quality talents who have mastered more advanced technologies than climbing masts!"

Although Li Huamei smiled and said nothing, she knew in her heart that this was true.I already know from my young lady that Australians have many new gadgets, but the feeling of experiencing it myself is completely different.The shock of the huge iron ship in the bay is unparalleled. In the past, the largest ships that could be seen on the sea were the large Carleon sailing ships of the Spaniards and Portuguese. These sea monsters over [-] tons and Compared with the iron ship in front of her, it was like the difference between a whale and a shark. She was amazed by the bulwarks that were higher than the city walls.

The pistols and rifles they use, she doesn't know who else in this world can have a musket that can be fired without a match, a wheel, or a flint-what secret is hidden in the small copper piece?This interested her more than the iron ship.Not to mention the binoculars that all the officers wear-it can see farther and clearly than all the binoculars owned by all Europeans from the entire East India to Macau.

There are also things that are not so scientific. The strangest thing is a small box that can talk to people far away at any time. At first, she thought it was a small trick. When the restless conversation continued, a great sense of fear surged in Li Huamei's heart - what is this kind of thing, if it's not witchcraft?

But these people can't see the slightest feeling of playing witchcraft - Macau is a grotesque colonial commercial city, with all kinds of cultures and beliefs, and naturally there are people who practice all kinds of witchcraft, so Li Huamei has more or less Know a thing or two.This group of people don't talk about witchcraft, and they don't even have a little bit of religious belief. Their usual speech and behavior are atheists.

During the few days she stayed in the blog shop, there were such things that surprised her almost every day, and she even found an unheard of new thing inadvertently, ranging from iron ships to small pieces of paper they used, and even some Strange living habits: For example, these people always carry a pack of rough paper with them. Besides using it to go to the toilet, they also use this paper as a handkerchief to wipe their mouths.

You have to feel it down. She thinks Australians are more like Europeans in terms of their understanding of technology, the items they use, their clothing habits, etc., and even their speech and behavior are similar.But they were indeed of Chinese descent, and after listening to these sailors say that they were descendants of immigrants from the Song Dynasty, she was even more convinced of her own judgment.

If Li Huamei lived in a Chinese-Western family since she was a child, so she can deal with two completely different cultures with equanimity, then Australians have a brand-new culture, which she has never felt before.This turned her passive attitude of just accepting Miss's task into a strong curiosity.

"Your fast iron boat is really good." Li Huamei agreed, "But it seems that you can't make it anymore."

"That's now, look at it in a few years, our cruisers will cover the entire waters of China." Li Haiping was so proud that he completely forgot about his ugly appearance on the mast.

"Really? Can you sell me one?"

"This," Li Haiping hesitated, "I have to agree with our leader, and I don't care. However," he said solemnly, "if you are willing to be the head coach of our navy, I will not give you a ship in the future." Down!"

Li Huamei giggled: "Just kidding, these fast iron boats of yours are treasures, I don't know. I'd better earn my money. It's easy to teach you how to climb the mast. In the future Just sell me a few guns."

"Okay, okay!" Li Haiping nodded again and again, forgetting that he was not the head of the navy, "As long as you help us train, a few guns are nothing—"

At this moment, only the sound of rumbling guns came from the high angle, and puffs of white smoke rose into the sky.This is the weapon design bureau of the Industrial Energy Commission testing artillery.This is a 150mm front-loading rifled gun recently cast for Bopu's Lingaojiao Fort.It is the largest caliber artillery made by the Weapons Design Bureau since D-Day. When firing 48-pound Mini cannon shells, the maximum range can reach almost four kilometers-this is a quite terrifying figure at the time.

Everyone excitedly picked up the binoculars and looked into the distance: sure enough, there were several sampans moored in a line on the sea some distance from the Lingaojiao Beacon Tower, and red flags were planted on the sampans.The water column kept rising on the sea surface near the sampan, and the shaking boat fluctuated up and down.

"What kind of hit rate is this? After more than a dozen rounds, I missed a single shot." Li Haiping said with a sullen face, "It seems that when applying for the next budget, the training shells will need to be tripled, otherwise there will be no hits." , the enemy rushed to the front."

Several navy members also echoed.

It was still Lao Di who knew how to do it: "What are you talking about? This is measuring the artillery fire meter. Do you think these ships are targets? The cannons are firing from far away."

"Those are range boats—" Lerin said.

Li Huamei snatched Li Haiping's telescope and looked at it for a long time, and said with bright eyes, "This cannon is very good, and the gunner is also very strong. It is accurate enough."

This is tantamount to a slap in the face.But they were used to Li Huamei's sarcasm, so they didn't take it seriously.But anyone could tell that Li Huamei was very interested in cannons - she had been in the museum for almost a week, and she hadn't seen the cannons of the crossing army firing.

"If you are willing to sell my cannon, I will help you train sailors!" Li Huamei dropped the binoculars and said this sentence emphatically.

"Okay!" Li Haiping patted his chest again.A few perverts from the Marine Forces smiled secretly at each other—the mermaid finally took the bait.There are also a few who are more organized and disciplined, including Le Lin, who is a little worried: This matter has not been approved by the Executive Committee, even if the head of the navy itself has not agreed, how can you promise others casually.

"I am responsible for reporting this matter to the leader! I will definitely interview you in the next few days."

"Ah, the official airs are really big," Li Huamei curled her lips, "I don't care too much about it. Members of the executive committee are worth a few small films. You are crowned with a monkey!"

The navy members laughed together, making fun of the leaders has always been the most popular entertainment for the Chinese.

"Compared to seeing the chairman of the executive committee, I want to go and see the big iron boat—" Li Huamei suddenly sighed charmingly, "It's so big——"

All the satyrs immediately thought wrong, and they all made up their minds.

Mond immediately stated: "Let's talk to the leader again, it's nothing special to let you board the boat to see."

Although the intimacy between the navy and Li Huamei has risen sharply, due to the prudence of the high-level personnel of the Ministry of Maritime Forces, Li Huamei's actual activities are still limited.Except for sailboats, all motor boats, from Fengcheng to landing craft, are not allowed to go aboard.When Ma Qianju appointed the main head of the navy, he was very wise and only selected former PLA naval officers, hoping to implement the will of the executive committee with the self-consciousness they had been educated by the party over the years.

Since then, two factions have virtually formed in the navy: one is a naval organization group composed of former professional officers such as Chen Haiyang, and the other is composed of naval enthusiasts and former naval soldiers.The two major naval groups of the future began to take shape at this time.
