Daming 1805

At [-]:[-] a.m. on the fourth day of the first lunar month of the Era, Zhu Jingyuan's ship arrived at the sea area where the ship parade was held.

Zhu Jingyuan directly ordered the relevant personnel to start the final preparations for action.

The fleet undergoing inspection officially adjusted its course and team.

The camera teams distributed on Zhu Jingyuan's ship, the inspection flagship, and several major ships also started final preparations and corrections.

This is the largest ship review in the history of Ming Dynasty.

It is also likely to be the last traditional fleet review featuring traditional artillery warships.

Zhu Jingyuan knew that the images of these warships, the images of this fleet sailing in formation, will be very good film and television materials in the future.

Ordinary people in this era may not realize it.

But both Zhu Jingyuan and his grandfather Zhu Zhongliang have realized the effect of this kind of video.

The Taishang Taihuang of Ming Dynasty, also known as the Supreme Emperor, Zhu Jingyuan's grandfather Zhu Zhongliang, can be regarded as the pioneer and leader of practical films in Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Jingyuan himself is not very interested in the corresponding things, but also because he has other more important things to work on.

Therefore, Zhu Jingyuan did not specifically focus on the development and transformation of film, video, video and other technologies.

But Zhu Zhongliang happened to like to toss these things very much.

Ever since Zhu Jingyuan went to the theater with Zhu Jingyuan and was reminded by Zhu Jingyuan of the direction of modern film shooting, Zhu Zhongliang has been completely immersed in this art.

Whenever there is an opportunity, Zhu Zhongliang will ask Zhu Jingyuan for ideas, technical solutions, and suggestions for shooting techniques.

After more than ten years of tossing, Daming now not only has a very mature conventional film, but also has a valuable color video film.

All official videos of this naval review were made on color film.

Due to the rapid development of video technology, coupled with Zhu Jingyuan's suggestions and guidance, and relatively official research.

The people involved in photography in Daming did not form the strange idea that "black and white is art".

The ability to photograph and video in color is a very immediate and attractive advancement for most of those involved.

It is conceivable that the photography industry in this world should quickly pass the black and white era.

Quickly enter and stay directly in the color era.

The relevant personnel who took pictures and videos not only set up cameras at various positions on the battleship, but also arranged a large number of aircraft to take charge of the shooting.

In order to obtain different pictures under various more free perspectives.

At [-]:[-] in the morning, Zhu Jingyuan and all the referees came to the deck of the simple ship again.

At 55:[-] in the morning, Chen Huacheng, the actual commander of the ship review ceremony, the naval governor of the Chinese military governor's office, communicated with Zhu Jingyuan by telegram.

Ask Zhu Jingyuan for instructions through Guan Tianpei, the deputy governor of the navy of the Chinese military governor's office.

After Guan Tianpei notified Zhu Jingyuan, Zhu Jingyuan waved directly:

"let's start."

Guan Tianpei conveyed the order to Chen Huacheng, and the fleet public address soon rang.

Chen Huacheng asked about the situation of each ship.

At the same time as each ship responded to the phone call, all the warships also honked their whistles one by one to signal that they were ready.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the ship review officially began.

The organization of Ming Dynasty's ship review is completely different from that of the British.

The review style of the British fleet is to display all the warships to form a large square formation of battleships.

The inspection ship carried the inspectors through the phalanx, like a person moving by himself to appreciate the artwork placed on the sea.

The Ming Dynasty's ship review style is that the reviewing fleet headed by the emperor sits on a ship, and the reviewing fleet is facing each other.

Both sides sailed at a speed of twenty knots, like two fleets meeting on the sea.

Zhu Jingyuan's emperor sailed from south to north in a ship, implying going north and returning.

The fleet under review runs from north to south, implying going south and setting off.

Ming's sea frontier is in the south.

On the whole, it forms a symbolic meaning that the emperor watched the navy fleet go to sea to fight.

During the Taiping period, Zhu Zhongliang actually did this kind of thing.

Off the coast of the Zhoushan military port, the large passenger ship of the royal family stopped in the open sea and watched the main fleet go to the South Atlantic Ocean to fight.

After the ship review began, the first thing to appear was the plane.

It is not like the Air Force's ship review, where thousands of planes come out in waves.

Instead, from the very beginning, all aircraft carriers were divided into several groups, taking turns to continuously release and recover aircraft.

Air Force parades do not recycle aircraft because that does not demonstrate capability.

But Navy carrier-based aircraft need to do this.

For aircraft carriers, continuous recovery and release of aircraft is their most important capability.

A total of twenty aircraft carriers participated in the parade.

The total number of aircraft they carry has exceeded [-].

As long as all the planes take off and land twice, the number of flights can reach [-] sorties.

Enough to keep planes flying over the entire fleet at all times.

The first wave of aircraft was a single-engine light fighter released by a [-]-ton aircraft carrier. The task that should be performed in theory was the air security duty of the fleet itself.

But now, as the lightest and most flexible aircraft, the fastest take-off aircraft will fly out first.

It was followed by larger twin-engine fighters.

Then came the twin-engine medium bomber with a full load of sixteen tons.

This bomber has reached the physique of a traditional land-based bomber, which is basically equivalent to the B25 of Zhu Jingyuan's previous life.

In Zhu Jingyuan's previous life, the USS Hornet aircraft carrier of World War II used to carry a specially modified B25 bomber to carry out the mission of bombing Tokyo.

The Hornet itself has a displacement of only 25 tons, so it is very difficult to operate the [-]-ton B[-].

At that time, those B25s were specially modified, and almost all self-defense weapons were abandoned, and the problem of landing was not even considered.

So it was a one-off special operations mission.

But now the aircraft carrier of Ming Dynasty is the smallest [-]-ton armored aircraft carrier, and there are also a batch of [-]-ton modern aircraft carriers.

These combat aircraft carriers are also equipped with sixteen-ton steam catapults.

The engines of these Ming Dynasty bombers have also reached the limit of traditional propeller aircraft, and their working efficiency has exceeded the level of World War II.

Operating a sixteen-ton bomber is a matter of course for these aircraft carriers.

The appearance of these rather huge aircraft in the navy shocked the officials and generals of the Thai and Western countries concerned about the aircraft carrier.

Due to the restrictions of the naval treaty, the full load displacement of the aircraft carriers of the Thai and Western countries was limited to [-] tons.

That is, the level of York City level of Zhu Jingyuan's previous life.

At the same time, the Thai and Western countries have not specialized in the research of high-power catapults, and the current carrier-based aircraft basically take off by taxiing.

Small scale hydraulic and gunpowder catapults, used only for other types of warship catapult reconnaissance aircraft.

Or after the aircraft carrier deck is full of aircraft, the aircraft in the front row can use the catapult to help them take off as soon as possible.

Coupled with the gap in engines, it is impossible for the aircraft carriers of the Thai and Western countries to operate such a large aircraft.

Even if it is barely used, it can only be used as a one-time carrier-based aircraft like the Hornet.

The admirals headed by Nelson were full of envy when they watched this large-sized aircraft pass through the sky and at the same time looked at the fleet entering the field of vision.

In fact, what they don't know is that most of the planes they see are already facing obsolescence.

Bombers with sufficient loading capacity will be gradually replaced by turboprop aircraft.

Other fighters will gradually be replaced by jets.

At the same time, on the [-]-ton aircraft carrier of the Ming Navy, the Imperial Guards of the Ming Dynasty have already stationed there.

In other words, they can already drop atomic bombs.

This is what really changes the game.

But this kind of weapon is currently an absolute secret in Ming Dynasty. Except for the personnel who need to contact it in actual combat, no one knows that this kind of thing exists.

Even the aircraft carrier equipped with these weapons only knows that there are a group of newly established members of the forbidden army among the aviation troops on board.

According to the requirements, we should prepare special weapons warehouses for them, and use special training and combat methods.

Those on board who had indirect contact with these weapons could guess that the Custodians had brought a new weapon, but did not know what it was.

For the vast majority of ordinary people, it is impossible to imagine the true power of atomic weapons.

At most, they think of things whose power is increased by several times or even ten times, and they dare not think that there will be things whose power per unit weight is increased by tens of thousands of times.

Therefore, even if there is an indirect leak, it will not affect the actual confidentiality effect.

After the six groups of carrier-based aircraft passed over the side of the review ship, the first batch of review ships finally entered the view of the review ship.

Those were two cruiser fleets sailing in staggered double columns.

There are too many fleet warships to be inspected. If they sail in a single column, the time required for the entire ship review will be uncontrollable.

So use a double column.

It is impossible for the ships in the fleet to be connected back and forth, and it is impossible for one ship to sail next to the other, otherwise there will be frequent collisions with ships.

The distance between the two ships is actually very large, enough to spread the two ships apart and still very loose.

Under such a premise, let the two columns sail alternately, and the two ships of the same rank in the two columns will deliberately stagger the distance of one ship.

Each ship in one column faces the space between two ships in the other column.

In this way, all the warships of the two fleets sailing side by side will have the opportunity to directly face the reviewing ship.

Let all the ships be directly seen by Ming Emperor Zhu Jingyuan on the inspection ship.

The main officers and some soldiers of the cruiser stood on several decks and various weapon platforms, and saluted in the direction of Zhu Jingyuan's ship.

Standing on the side of the inspection ship's front deck, Zhu Jingyuan waved to the officers and soldiers on the ship passing by.

Zhu Jingyuan actually wanted all the main guns to fire a salvo towards the outside of the fleet when the fleet passed the inspection ship.

But the cruiser is reluctant to do this, and the deck of the battleship has to be emptied when the main guns are fired.

Otherwise, everyone on the deck may be blown away by the shock wave.

It is more important to let as many middle and low-level officers and soldiers as possible have the opportunity to meet the emperor himself than to shoot into the air.

What's more, for the sake of safety, it is better not to fire guns during the inspection.

So Zhu Jingyuan's idea was only brewed in his heart, and he didn't say it at all during the ship review organization.

The fleet now under review will continue to sail forward in this state.

After the sixteenth cruiser, there are two [-]-ton battleships and two [-]-ton aircraft carriers.

After such a group of battleships and aircraft carriers, there was another group of sixteen cruisers.

The combination of cruisers and battleships after that continues to cycle.

Until a quarter of the entire fleet passed, this time the combination of battleships and aircraft carriers became a [-]-ton class.

When the entire fleet under review reached more than half, the flagship fleet of the fleet under review appeared.

During the review fleet, Yang Yuchun and Chen Huacheng were the [-]-ton battleship Hunan of the same model as Zhu Jingyuan.

There are two [-]-ton battleships guarding the front and back of the flagship.

Putting these five battleships together, they are now the most powerful main fleet in the world.

The core generals of the Ming Navy are all standing on the decks of the five capital ships at this moment, saluting the reviewing ship in the distance with extremely serious expressions.

Zhu Jingyuan also waved again to the passing main fleet.

The entire ship review lasted for more than two hours, and it was not finally over until one o'clock in the afternoon.

All the inspectors headed by Zhu Jingyuan ate in the dining room of the battleship they were on.

Both the reviewing fleet and the reviewing fleet themselves continued to sail, drawing two huge semicircles on the sea surface and reuniting again.

The flagship fleet of the reviewing fleet joined Zhu Jingyuan's ship.

The entire fleet maintained normal sailing posture and returned to Zhoushan Military Port, the home port of the Ming Dynasty Navy.

It was already four o'clock in the afternoon when Zhu Jingyuan stepped on the ground again.

So far, Zhu Jingyuan, as the trusted emperor of Ming Dynasty, has finally completed all the ceremonies related to enthronement.

A new era in the name of the Grand Duke has officially begun.

Compared with the end of the war, the world gradually tends to peace, and the era of well-being in which all countries in the world are fully committed to recovery and development.

The future of the Grand Duke's Era made everyone both look forward to and feel anxious.

People in Daming are more looking forward to it. Daming is always going well, and all of this is obviously affected by the contribution of the emperor before he became emperor.

So after he becomes emperor, will Daming's future be better?
The people who are worried are mainly people from the Western countries.

In the local situation of Taixi, they are their own people who know their own affairs.

The Enthronement Hall of the Ming Emperor, the most solemn event in the world, is also the most harmonious event after it is over.

All kinds of contradictions and problems have also come to an end.

In fact, before Zhu Jingyuan came to the throne, many people were almost unable to bear it, almost unable to hold back.

But they didn't dare to take any action before Zhu Jingyuan ascended the throne.

In case their actions lead the Ming Dynasty into war, the Ankang Emperor Zhu Jianyan of the Ming Dynasty will refer to the practice of the previous Emperor Taiping and have to continue to be the emperor due to the war, delaying the time of passing the throne to the intended heir.

Then after Zhu Jingyuan really ascended the throne, will he hold a grudge against the country and people who caused this incident?
Will it deliberately retaliate against these countries and people to vent their emotions?

Then no one can predict.

Even if it only delayed and affected Zhu Jingyuan's enthronement ceremony, people would have the same worry.

So before Zhu Jingyuan completed all the ceremonies, many people were patient.

Now all the rituals are finally over.

How long can those people and countries with ideas and plans continue to endure or prepare?
No one can get accurate data.

We can only prepare for the war that will come soon.
