Rebirth of the Qing Empire

The numerous excellent seaports, river ports and sea channels along the coast and rivers under the jurisdiction of Beininh have suddenly changed the original dilemma of Shanxi having only one external port in Tianjin. They not only meet the needs of trade exchanges, but also provide opportunities for the development and expansion of Beining's ships.

Manufacturing, fishing, shipping and the establishment of Bac Ninh Navy provide unique and superior conditions.

Therefore, two new shipbuilding bases with more complete supporting systems and larger scale have been built in Vladivostok on the Sea of ​​Japan and Dalian on the Bohai Sea. They all use new industrial equipment designed and manufactured by themselves, and can design and manufacture all kinds of civilian ships and ships by themselves.

Military ships. Coupled with the already established Tianjin Shipbuilding Base, the total annual designed shipbuilding capacity of the three bases has reached more than 3 million tons, which has caught up with the level of contemporary Germany and ranks first in the world in the application of advanced technology.

After the new 10,000-ton ocean freighters manufactured by the shipbuilding industry for Bac Ninh Ocean Shipping Company began to equip the company's ocean-going fleet, these used advanced high-power marine low-speed diesel engines to propel main engines, high-performance steel and new welding processes as well as sophisticated remote radio communication equipment

As soon as the giant ships appeared on the world's oceans, they dwarfed those contemporary ships that used steam power, ordinary steel, backward riveting technology, and crude radio communication equipment.

These new-style giant ships of the Beining Ocean Shipping Company flying the Yellow Dragon Flag of the Qing Dynasty, with excellent wind and wave resistance, solid structure, speed of up to 20 knots, and a load capacity of more than 10,000 tons, race on the vast ocean, transporting those

The industrial products manufactured by the Qing Empire, which were welcomed by people all over the world, were quickly and safely delivered to their destinations, and goods from all over the world were transported back to the Qing Empire, showing extremely high efficiency that no shipping company around the world could match.

Captain Li played a major role in the establishment and expansion of Bac Ninh Ocean Shipping Company. With his extremely rich experience and understanding of the world's oceans, as well as the joining of his outstanding staff, Bac Ninh Ocean Shipping Company has avoided many detours. And Li

With his noble personality, selfless dedication and outstanding talents, the captain was honored to serve as the first president of Bac Ninh Ocean Shipping Company. Under his management, Bac Ninh Ocean Shipping Company quickly became one of the world's first-class shipping companies.

It has made great contributions to the economic development of Beining.

After the Tianjin Coast Guard was expanded into the Bac Ninh Coast Guard, it ushered in a golden period of growth and expansion due to the strong demand from the rapidly developing maritime industry along the coast. The new 1,000-ton standard high-speed patrol ship and the 100-ton standard patrol boat

After equipping the troops in large quantities, plus the original ships and the transport ships, landing craft, icebreakers, ocean survey ships, tugboats, etc. that have been put into use in recent years, it has rapidly grown into a large force with nearly a hundred ships and tens of thousands of people.

organize.

These ships are equipped with new ship-based weapons and professional technical equipment, with extremely superior performance in all aspects. Relying on the base system all over the coast of Bac Ninh, they efficiently manage the oceans of the Qing Empire, with mission coverage covering the Qing Empire up to 20,000

It has more than kilometers of coastline and territorial waters of more than 3 million square kilometers. Whenever I see these ships with the words "Daqing Beining Coast Guard" painted in eye-catching white on their blue hulls and flying the Yellow Dragon flag of the Qing Dynasty, they appear.

When on the sea and sky, people always express respect in various ways, because this is their patron saint, an amiable and respectable person who can provide them with protection, and represents the mighty and benevolent image of the Qing Empire.

Maritime Police.

Also, those foreign ships that have received rescue will consciously raise the Qing Dynasty Yellow Dragon flag and sound their whistles in salute whenever they encounter Bac Ninh Coast Guard ships at sea.

The service of the above-mentioned new ships trained personnel and accumulated experience and technology for the later creation of Bac Ninh Navy.

The 37mm naval gun and 12.7mm machine gun equipped on the new patrol ship are brand-new concept shipborne automatic weapons: the 37mm naval gun is a double-barreled water-cooled fully automatic shooting method, with a single-barreled rate of fire of 300 rounds per minute and a muzzle velocity of 1,000

m/s, with an effective range of 6 kilometers. It has a closed armored turret, which can provide good protection for shooters; the 12.7mm machine gun is also a double-barreled water-cooled fully automatic shooting method, with a single-barreled rate of fire of 650 rounds/min and a muzzle velocity of 960 meters/min.

Seconds, the effective range is 2 kilometers, and it also has a closed armored gun turret. These weapons are equipped with precision optical sights, and the ship's shipboard radar, active infrared search device, and strong searchlight with an effective range of up to 30 kilometers

Used in conjunction with others, it has ferocious and precise close combat firepower, fully ensuring the deterrence and effectiveness of the Bac Ninh Coast Guard in the process of maritime law enforcement.

Subsequently, a type of offshore light combat ship developed on the basis of the 100-ton standard patrol boats currently in service in the Coast Guard began to be built, named the "Flying Fish" class patrol boat, which will be used to replace those currently equipped by the torpedo boat force.

The "Crocodile" class torpedo boat with a single function will be replaced by the "Crocodile" class torpedo boat after the torpedo launcher is removed and will be converted into a coastal patrol boat and continue to serve. At the same time, the "Crocodile" class torpedo boat development model "Crocodile-A" class

Coast patrol boats began to be built in large numbers and entered military service.

The "Crocodile-A" class coastal patrol boats are mainly designed for the Coast Guard to better perform tasks such as protecting coastal residents, ports, important military and civilian facilities, and uninhabited islands and reefs. They are based on the inland river patrols that have been equipped with the troops for many years.

This type of inland river patrol boat was used in Kangfan's operation to rescue the Qing expatriates in Hailan Pao, and its performance was very good. The newly produced "Crocodile-A" class coastal patrol boat has updated engines and onboard equipment

, the two Type 96 general-purpose machine guns on the prototype boat were retained, and the 82 recoilless cannon installed at the stern of the boat was removed and replaced with a ship-based double-barreled 12.7 mm machine gun. In addition, in order to be more suitable for long-term maritime patrol missions,

The fuel tank capacity on the boat was increased and the living facilities were improved. Since the improvement measures occupied part of the space of the crew cabin on the boat, the cabin can only accommodate 16 maritime police officers, which is nearly half less than the prototype boat. But since the

Judging from the nature of the mission performed by the boat, this troop configuration is sufficient.

The "Flying Fish" class patrol boat is designed to perform offshore defense operations. The combat targets are various types of enemy combat ships. It is essentially different from the low-intensity combat tasks performed by the "Crocodile-A" class coastal patrol boat. Therefore,

It has a larger displacement and stronger armament. The boat has a full load displacement of 160 tons and is equipped with 2 double-barreled 37mm naval guns, 2 double-barreled 12.7mm machine guns, 4 "harpoon" torpedo launchers and 2 depth charge launchers.

It is equipped with complete electronic equipment, high-speed supercharged diesel engine and dual-shaft propulsion, with a maximum speed of more than 40 knots, and has all-weather combat capabilities. The boat will be built in large quantities as the standard offshore combat speedboat of the Bac Ninh Coast Guard Force in the future, and is responsible for protecting the sea.

The glorious mission of the entire long coast of the Qing Empire.

In 1908, the Military Ship Division of Tianjin Shipyard first began to produce a first-class real warship, the "Qing" class cruiser. Later, the shipyards of Dalian and Vladivostok also joined in, and the three shipyards jointly produced 6 ships per year.

The continuous construction of this kind of warships allowed this type of ships to be equipped in batches in a short period of time, which greatly improved the ability of the Bac Ninh Coast Guard to safeguard the maritime rights and interests of the Qing Empire.

The "Da Qing" class cruiser is a warship with ocean-going combat capabilities carefully designed by the Military Ship Division of the Ministry of Shipbuilding Industry in Bac Ninh. It can be said to be a development type of the thousand-ton standard high-speed patrol ship currently in service in the Coast Guard.

This class of ship has a full load displacement of more than 3,000 tons, an endurance of 6,000 nautical miles/18 knots, and a maximum speed of 36 knots. It has applied the latest achievements in materials, processes, technologies and equipment made by the Bac Ninh industry in recent years. Among them, in addition to

In addition to the new 130mm naval gun, sonar, rocket-assisted depth bombs and their launchers that are being installed on ships for the first time, others include high-performance ship steel, new alloy armor steel, medium-speed and high-power diesel engine propulsion hosts, and diesel power station systems

, electric motors, watertight compartment structures, deep V-shaped high-speed hulls, stabilizers, welding processes, new shipboard electronic equipment, new shipboard weapons, damage control systems, air conditioning systems, etc. are all already on board or on ships of the Coast Guard.

It is actually used on civilian ships, with mature technology, stable and reliable performance.

The new 130mm naval gun is an improved design based on the 130mm fortress gun. It adopts double-barrel water cooling, electric-hydraulic drive, and automatic ammunition feeder. It has a closed armored turret and a single-barrel fire rate of 20 rounds/minute.

, with a muzzle velocity of 930 meters/second and a maximum range of 30 kilometers. It is equipped with armor-piercing bombs, armor-piercing bombs and high-explosive bombs; rocket-assisted depth bombs and their launchers are used in conjunction with the sonar device equipped on the ship to deal with contemporary naval powers.

It has begun to equip its navy with submarines in batches.

The "Daqing" class cruiser is equipped with 1 at the bow and 2 at the stern, a total of 3 6 130mm naval guns, 4 37mm naval guns, 2 4-tube "harpoon" torpedo launchers and

Equipped with four six-tube rocket-assisted depth charge launchers and several 12.7 mm machine guns, it has become the most powerful medium-sized surface ship equipped by the Bac Ninh Coast Guard after entering the 20th century.

Although it cannot be compared with the tens of thousands of tons of armored warships equipped by contemporary naval powers, this class of ship has radar, sonar, active infrared search devices, radio communication/navigation equipment and other things that contemporary naval powers do not have.

Advanced electronic equipment, these equipment and advanced ship-based weapons constitute a maritime combat system that is both offensive and defensive and can be used all-weather. Its combat power cannot be underestimated.

"Daqing" class cruisers, "Jiaolong" class submarines, "Feiyu" class patrol boats, and new minesweepers, minelayers, landing crafts, supply ships, transport ships, etc. that were put into service successively formed the original Bac Ninh Navy. From the Bac Ninh Coast Guard Force

Be independent. All naval officers and soldiers will be selected from the officers and soldiers of the Coast Guard on active duty, and this will be determined as a fixed model for selecting naval officers and soldiers in the future.

Also completed at the same time was the Marine Corps, which was affiliated with the Navy. The first batch of officers and soldiers of this unit was composed of an infantry regiment drawn from the active Jin army officers and soldiers by the Jin Army Staff Headquarters, and was placed under the naval establishment. Subsequent expansion and training

The work will be completed by the navy itself, with soldiers mainly recruited from the interior guard force and coast guard force.

Kang Fan also identified Lushunkou as the headquarters of the Beining Navy, and built Lushunkou into the largest and most important military port of the Beining Navy, as well as the strongest coastal defense fortress. Lushunkou has gone through the era of the Beiyang Navy of the Qing Dynasty, the Russian Pacific

After decades of hard work during the fleet rule, the fortress-like construction has been quite thorough. Although it was damaged by the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War, its defense system is still basically intact. Therefore, the Bac Ninh Navy only needs to build on its original foundation.

Just carry out modernization and reconstruction. Therefore, the project is not very difficult and the construction time is not long.

Lushunkou is located at the tip of the Liaodong Peninsula extending into the Bohai Sea - Luda Peninsula. It borders the Yellow Sea to the east, the Bohai Sea to the west, faces the Shandong Peninsula across the sea to the south, and is adjacent to Dalian to the north. It has the world-famous natural port of Lushun Port, which protects Beijing and Tianjin.

The strategic position of the maritime gateway to key areas and the natural barrier of the Northeast region is extremely important. The newly built Lushun Naval Base has a complete logistics support system, a huge naval shipyard and a naval academy with complete categories and advanced facilities, which can provide Bac Ninh Navy with

Comprehensive support.

Relying on this base, smaller-scale Vladivostok, Jeju Island located at the entrance of the Korean Strait and Ulleungdo Naval Forward Base in the Sea of ​​Japan east of the Korean Peninsula were successively established to control the Sea of ​​Japan, Yellow Sea and Korean Strait. And Tianjin

The base was originally the headquarters of the Coast Guard, so it was naturally assigned to the Coast Guard for use.

The growth of the Bac Ninh Coast Guard and the creation of the Bac Ninh Navy have realized Kang Fan's long-cherished wish. He has always clearly remembered the American sailors who traveled with Judy during the crisis when they were ravaged by Spanish warships.

The happy expression when he saw the American warships coming to rescue them on the ocean far away from the United States! In addition to the strong envy at that time, he actually felt a little jealous in his heart! Now, after he confessed his feelings to Judy, Judy

Laughed.

"As an American, of course I am very proud. But let me tell you, Kang Fan, your country is a big country and has all the conditions to develop into a world power. Sooner or later, it will become as powerful as my motherland."

Judy said.

Kang Fan nodded and said resolutely: "Yes, there will definitely be such a day."
