Chapter 1565： I lead everything, only lose in the population

Marin didn't know how much influence he had in order to show off the muscle competition of the sailors. This is not to say that this sailor contest has deterred the Quartet, but that the way of competition has caused countries to follow suit.

It is a very good idea to simulate the situation on the ship by training on a wide board that swings about on a swing. Hamburger ’s representative in Emden, Summerer, after seeing the contest, immediately wrote back to China and asked to promote this method for sailor training.

In the past, when there were no large swing boards, sailors generally used boats to fight on the ship in order to train naval battles. However, it is difficult for small boats to simulate the sea conditions of high winds and waves. After all, when training, the boat cannot go to the middle of the ocean to train. Moreover, during training operations, losers are easily hit. If you really ran to the middle of the sea in a big storm to train, the sailors falling into the water would be easily swept away by the wind and waves.

And Marin used an oversized swing board to swing the way to simulate the practice of the sea boat violently rocking left and right under the strong wind and waves, which not only can simulate the scene at a low cost. Moreover, the risk factor is very low. Because, in the contest, Marin spread very thick hay under the swing board. Even if the swing board is dropped, it will fall on the haystack and will not be injured.

Of course, the discerning people are not the only ones. Lübeck ’s representative in Emden also saw something, and wrote back to China, suggesting that this method be used to train the martial arts of fighting on the sailors.

In the North Sea country, the navy general Baron Kidd also went to Shumarin, requesting that this method be used to train sailor combat skills in the future, and the adaptability of the new sailors to the rocking of the ship.

Even Baron Kidd expressed his dissatisfaction with Marin's disclosure of this way of training sailors. He was mainly worried that if the French learned this, the naval battle would become fierce in the future. After all, for France, the most lacking are ships and maritime training venues. Now, with this simple training method that can train sailor fighting abilities on land, the French will not let go. In the future, the French will surely be able to train a group of powerful sailors who adapt to the shaking of the ship and are good at fighting on the deck of the ship.

Marin really regrets this. However, it is not very concerned. After all, he let his men develop the Pexan gun. As long as the gadgets come out, still play Mao's deck fight? A few guns sank the opponent's warship. Why do you have to cut swords with each other on the deck?

Also, Marin is making the shipyard of Long Island, New York, trying to build a 1,000-ton battleship. The thousand-ton battleship is very high, and the enemies on the boat cannot pick up even if they want to jump the boat. Historically, the soldiers of the Indian and Egyptian Allied Forces during the Diwu Sea Warfare, because the ship was small, could not jump on the tall battleship of the Portuguese, could not cut the opponent, and could only be beaten slowly by the Portuguese battleship with artillery, so they lost naval battle. The thousand-ton battleship Marin tried to build was much taller than the one with a few hundred tons smaller than Portugal, with more artillery and a thicker side. With the powerful Peksan gun, it is absolutely invincible in naval battles.

Of course, whether it is a Pexan gun or a 1,000-ton battleship, it is currently kept secret. In order to dispel the doubts of Baron Kidd, Marin had no choice but to say that the naval soldiers would be equipped with clockwork and short guns to match the sailors' scimitars.

He had seen "Pirates of the Caribbean". Those 17th century pirates basically had one or two flintlock pistols on their waists in addition to the sailor's scimitar. Once you encounter a tough person who is difficult to deal with, you can also pull a short gun from the waist and shoot it.

Marin described to Baron Kidd the future combat situation of a short-gun with a scimitar and a clockwork fire in the North Sea sailors. Finally, Kidd, who was worried about losing his maritime advantage, was finally flicked away.

In fact, before the advent of the heavy guns of the giant ship, the tactics of sailor scimitar and firearms that Marin said were indeed mainstream naval tactics. For example, Nelson, a British naval general, was killed by a French sailor's musket when he fought side by side with a French warship in the Trafalgar naval battle.

After the appearance of the Peksang artillery, the wooden boat could not resist and was forced to withdraw from the stage of history. Then, the armored ship was born. The so-called armored ship is to put a thick iron shell on the outside of the wooden ship to prevent the hull from being damaged by the 68-pound iron ball shells of the Peixan gun.

But after being covered with an iron shell by a wooden boat, the sails could not be carried, and could only be propelled by a steam engine. Otherwise, this heavy iron-shell armored ship can only slowly "snail crawl" on the sea ...

Now, other countries obviously do not have steam engines. As long as Marin produced the Peksan artillery, he could sweep the navies of all countries and dominate the sea. Of course, it will certainly not dominate the 19th century as it was originally in history. After all, he made a steam engine, and even if other countries couldn't, he would steal the technology. Just like the French, if they couldn't get the glass mirror, they sent someone to Venice to steal the technique.

Unless, Marin and Marin's descendants do not spread the steam engine technology. Otherwise, once it is put into civilian use, it will definitely be acquired by other countries for technology. Therefore, it is only a matter of time. But before the steam engine technology leaked, Marin planned to build a powerful country that included the British Isles and northern Germany. Of course, it also includes the vast America. When the technology of other countries catch up, the country of Marin's descendants has already established a firm foothold. Once the land in the later generations was developed, the land and population advantages of France would be lost immediately. Marin clearly remembers how the national strength of the 19th century after the completion of the development of the central and eastern regions, how quickly the national power has risen, and one by one over France and Britain ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Of course, it will take hundreds of years. After all, the biggest problem facing Marin now is the serious lack of people. The entire German region, including Austria, has a population of only about 12 million. The French population is 15 million, which is almost crushed. As for Marin, there are only a pitiful 2 million. It ranks high in the German princes, but compared with France, it is simply scum.

If Marin's start is in the Kingdom of France, with a population of 15 million in hand, it will be easy to divide a few million into the future and reclaim a large area of ​​fertile soil on the eastern coast of the United States. Moreover, France is closer to the east coast of the United States.

Now, even if Marin annexed England, it only increased the population by 3 million, which is still far less than the population of the Kingdom of France. Even the population of the German region and England combined to barely equal France. Therefore, there is still a long way to go to develop the east coast of the United States ...

For the sake of population, Marin is now crazy. He ordered in the North Sea country-any manor, once a woman is pregnant, she will be properly taken care of. Not only can you take a vacation, but during the vacation, you can get the same wages as men. And if you work normally, the wages are only half that of men ...

In addition, Marin also ordered the establishment of hospitals in various towns. Among them, the hospital obstetrics and gynecology is the focus. Every woman waiting for delivery can be sent to the hospital's obstetrics and gynecology department for rest two or three months before delivery, and is taken care of by a special nurse until the child is born. During this period, all costs will be borne by the respective manor.

...

In the office, Marin looked at the map of Europe and held his head depressed:

"I lead the world in everything, but I lose to the population ..."
