The report of the Asian part is slightly longer than that of the Mediterranean part. When pierce and Dylan finish talking about Star Island, the time has reached 11:40.
It was very late. Lorraine applauded first, and then the restaurant applauded.
When the applause gradually fell, Lorraine stood up and summarized.
"In November 1785, the secret service formation set sail from Miami. In November 1787, the whole ship of the secret service formation returned without damage."
"In two years, pierce took his fleet across half the earth, from America to Europe, from Europe to Africa, traveled the calm Mediterranean, flew over the windy Indian Ocean, until he broke through Malacca and touched the edge of the South China Sea."
"He defeated the descendants of Barbarosa hellettin and turned the Mediterranean into a cornucopia of the European chapter. He completed the entrustment of the East India Company and put Star Island into Carmen's pocket."
"It's hard to praise the achievements of opening up Asian routes. Indian tea, Southeast Asian treasures, and priceless silk and porcelain in the Qing Dynasty will continue to be reflected in the accounts of the annual meeting in the next few years, which will become the key to Drake's continued strength."
"But that's not the reason why I asked you to come today." Lorraine made a grimace. "This time, the leaders of the fleet directly under him, including the commander, deputy commander, alternate commander, alternate deputy commander, and the chief of the staff office and tactical office."
"At ten o'clock tomorrow morning, all the relevant reports on the expedition of the secret service formation will be sent to you, whether formal or informal, public or confidential. You have three days to read them, and then tell me whether governor pierce Yates can end his internship and regain the authorization of free action. This is the first thing."
Lorraine raised a finger, shook it, and raised another.
"The second thing." he turned to pierce. "The second generation of God waiting special Galen high-speed destroyers [herwell] and [hilud] will be transferred to the secret service formation next month, as well as the high-speed Briggs [Crested Ibis] and [bald eagle]."
"[lady man] will be maintained in Hanya dock for six months, and the first generation of God serving experimental ships [future] and [new code] will also be sent to St. Dana dock for upgrading to correct the design defects of that year."
"In addition, the secret service formation will also receive a new experimental ship. It is the flying shear special brigantine communication ship [nocturnal incense] delivered by the flying shear design team a month ago. It has a maximum speed of 20.5 knots. It is probably the first dhow in the world to climb 20 knots."
For the sudden news, Lorraine didn't release any information to the secret service formation in advance.
Pierce's mouth opened wide and his expression management collapsed.
Lorraine was so amused by his appearance that he wanted to laugh, but he still held it back.
"The secret service formation has been upgraded to the nine ship formation. Your team should seize the time to deduce tactical actions. The yelaixiang is not a warship and can not even be seen as an armed merchant ship. You should adapt as soon as possible."
"There are also the lady, the future and the new code. This time, the preparation period is more than six months. The formation joint training need not be considered for the time being, but the new and old ship groups should get familiar with it."
"The rest..." Lorraine thought, "don't stay tonight. If you don't have anything special, break up the meeting."
……
As a matter of fact, the fleet establishment in the sailing age is always limited to a roughly stable framework.
The most special is the two ship establishment, which is often seen in scouts and important intelligence communications. The two ships are often wing ships to each other. The purpose of the establishment is not to fight against the enemy, but there are also elite schemes with dual main warships and suppression and short soldiers as the core combat tasks.
The common ship regiment establishment is divided into three categories: large, medium and small.
The small ship regiment has a scale of 3 to 5 ships, generally including more than 2 warships and more than 1 communication and auxiliary ship. It is mostly used for the support of the main fleet, special operations or targeted special tasks.
The secret service formation was originally a small establishment, and its main task was to test new ships; The Portuguese Scolari fleet during the Muscat war was also a small establishment. Its task was to suppress bandits and raise its prestige.
In addition, the Nelson fleet during Halloween operation and sea operation is also a small establishment. The former is for special warfare and the latter is for sneak attack.
The scale of medium-sized ship regiment ranges from 8 to 12 ships, including main warfare, auxiliary warfare and communication ships of more than 2 ships.
The medium-sized ship regiment is the size of wanjinyou's establishment, which not only has the ability to fight independently, but also has the conditions to cooperate with large-scale operations.
In history, Nelson was a believer and Dana of the Chinese naval regiment. In Copenhagen, he crippled the Danish Navy in World War I as deputy Peter Parker. Later in Trafalgar, he divided the powerful Mediterranean fleet into two and staged a textbook victory with Collinwood.
Lorraine also prefers the Chinese warship regiment, perhaps because the obsessed commanders have more detailed control over their warships, unlike the traditional battle line generals who can take care of a larger number of warships with limited energy.
The ship regiment with more than 15 ships is regarded as a large-scale establishment, generally between 15 and 25 ships. It is common in two extreme examples: the battle line with rigorous operation and training and clear government orders, and the pirate regiment with lack of training and planning and the commander's daily abandonment of treatment.
As for the rest, the administrative establishment of the fleet anchor port is often a large establishment fleet, but this establishment is rarely used in operations. With the communication capacity of the 18th century, the large establishment is not suitable for normal operations in essence.
To sum up, the medium size of the secret service formation was actually set at the beginning of the establishment, and the first design was 12 cutting-edge ships.
However, the Drake chamber of commerce at that time was far less profound than it is now. It was more than willing but less than able to meet the first, second and secret service formations at the same time.
That's why pierce took on the task of testing the experimental ship.
At that time, the lady was the experimental ship after valkiri's slimming. The future and the new generation were the first two God class ships to be built. Both were the final draft of the main scheme, and the details still needed to be discussed.
Lorraine took them together and gave them to pierce. He also took Karen's favorite brother-in-law under his command in order to fully collect data for subsequent improvement.
The testing work was basically completed after the Muscat war.
The achievements of the noble women were widely used in the original American and constitution purchased by the American navy, which reduced the production cost by about 18%. Of course, this has nothing to do with the price.
The achievements of the future and the new generation did not affect the stereotype of the first generation of attendants, but gave birth to the second generation of attendants, the Mistra, which is not a secret in Drake chamber of Commerce.
In terms of the planned rhythm, after the test is completed, the secret service formation should be officially repaired and expanded.
The problem is that the battle of baster made fafuna famous in various senses. Katrina held the family property of the girl she liked in a wheelchair with red eyes, and dismantled the second formation originally scheduled to be used as the base of the secret service expansion team.
Lorraine was certainly unhappy without saying it. This unhappiness fermented in the bottom of her heart, which largely contributed to the later exercise between pierce and fafuna.
As a result of the exercise, fafuna proved that she deserved to be preferred with her undisputed excellent command, and the young master who didn't wake up nearly paralyzed Lorraine with his unparalleled marksmanship.
Well, the secret service formation was kicked out by Lorraine. One wave is two years, and the joint expansion plan can only be postponed. Until today, one step is in place.
Pierce's heart was full of hard and sweet surprises. The people who participated in the report passed him talking and laughing, but he didn't notice it at all.
Until everyone was gone, Lorraine saw that he was still pestling there. With crooked eyebrows and eyes, he picked up a square sugar from the table, popped it, and accurately threw it into the mouth that had been opened for at least five minutes.
My mouth burst
Pierce screamed awkwardly and was absorbed. Only then did he find that he and Lorraine were left in the restaurant.
"Brother..."
"What?" Lorraine said deliberately, "dissatisfied with the expansion?"
Pierce blinked suspiciously: "expansion?"
This is the legendary surprise to fragment!
Lorraine gave up, sat down, covered his face and waved his hands like flies. He just wanted to blow the young master of the Drake family away, the farther the better.
Pierce was wronged and wrinkled. He couldn't remember which formation was going to be expanded. When did this topic come up.
But he has something more important.
He sat down and cleared his throat: "brother... President, during the battle in Malacca, from the establishment of the hidden League in April to the intervention in mediation in June, I was missing for two months."
"President, guess where I went?"
