Valley Emperor
Vol 2 Chapter 1604: 7 fleets
As the navy began to implement the new warship building plan, the navy's fleet reorganization plan also began. Before the navy wanted to do something about the Indian Ocean Fleet and the Pacific Fleet, but at that time, the drunkard's intention was not to drink, and Li Xuan rejected it many times.
However, after they stripped the 10,000-ton warship, the fleet reorganization plan was finally approved by Li Xuan.
The Datang Navy is now huge and its command system is somewhat messy.
The current Datang Navy has three major fleets, namely the First Fleet, the Second Fleet, and the Third Fleet. Among them, the third fleet belongs to the reserve training fleet.
The First Fleet and the Second Fleet are the main fleets stationed in the mainland.
But in addition to these three major fleets, the Datang Navy also has many squadrons and overseas fleets.
There is a North Sea Squadron on the home coast.
The overseas mainland has the Ryukyu Squadron, the Osaka Squadron, the Edo Squadron, the Luzon Squadron, the Banten Squadron, and the Malacca Squadron.
The overseas territories include the Burma Squadron, the Go River Squadron, the Ceylon Squadron, the Goa Squadron, the West Asia Squadron, the Aden Squadron, the Central African Squadron, the West India Squadron, the South African Squadron, and the Sandalwood Squadron. , Xin Jinshan Squadron.
Then there are two special fleets, the Indian Ocean fleet and the African fleet.
The above-mentioned fleets are not affiliated to each other. Although they are large or small, they are all directly under the command of the Naval Command. The Indian Ocean Fleet does not command the Ceylon Squadron, the Goa Squadron, and the Goa Squadron. permissions.
The African Fleet also does not have the authority to command the South African Squadron, the West India Squadron and other fleets stationed in Africa.
However, in actual operations, the above-mentioned fleets inevitably have to cooperate with each other. In many cases, the South African Squadron and the African Fleet are mixed together to perform combat missions.
This also led to some confusion in the naval command system.
Today, the Navy has proposed a fleet reorganization plan, and Li Xuan also approved the plan.
The core of the plan is to re-plan the fleets and establish a smooth command system.
To this end, the Datang Navy will set up four major fleets, namely the Local Fleet, the Pacific Fleet, the Indian Ocean Fleet, and the African Fleet.
Its local fleet is actually a reserve training fleet, which focuses on training and does not undertake major combat tasks.
Among them, the defense area of the Pacific Fleet will include the entire Pacific waters and the surrounding waters of Australia, including the mainland coastal areas, the South China Sea, the waters of the North Sea, etc., as well as the western coast of the Americas and the waters of the Honolulu Islands. Anyway, the entire Pacific Ocean is under his control.
The Indian Ocean Fleet, referring to the Pacific Fleet, naturally manages the affairs of the Indian Ocean waters, but only part of the Indian Ocean waters, including the Burmese Sea, the Bay of Bengal, the West Asian Sea, the Safi Gulf, the Gulf of Aden, and the Red Sea.
As for the African Fleet, it manages the coastal waters of eastern Africa south of Somalia and extends to the South African port. However, the reason why the Datang Navy set up this African Fleet is actually to enter the Atlantic Ocean, so it will still be stationed in South Africa. Port, ready to enter the Atlantic at any time.
The above-mentioned four major fleets belong to the administrative fleet, that is to say, the commander of the Pacific Fleet has no authority to mobilize the ships under the Pacific Fleet to participate in the operation.
Because of the separation of military orders and administration, the above-mentioned four major fleet headquarters are in charge of administrative affairs and fleet construction, and in the case of combat, they still belong to the naval command.
The Military Command will carry out combat missions through direct command of the squadrons.
This squadron is more numerous. The Pacific Fleet has the First Fleet, the Second Fleet, and the Third Fleet in the mainland. The First Fleet is in charge of parts of the mainland coast and the South China Sea, the Second Fleet is in charge of parts of the mainland and parts of the North Sea Province, and the Third Fleet is stationed in the Americas. To deal with the Spanish or Portuguese in the Americas, it can also be called the American fleet.
The Indian Ocean Fleet has the Fourth Fleet below, which is mainly stationed on the island of Ceylon, but also stationed in Gohe State and Goa; the home port of the Fifth Fleet is located in Maas, and incidentally, there is a fleet stationed in Aden. To put it bluntly, these two Fleet, one is responsible for the East Indian Ocean waters, the other is responsible for the West Indian waters and the West Asian waters
The African Fleet has the Sixth Fleet, whose home port is stationed in West India and is mainly responsible for the war on the eastern coast of Africa; the Confidence Fleet, whose home port is South Africa, is responsible for a very small sea area. It is quite large.
In fact, many of the above-mentioned squadrons were adapted from the original local squadrons. However, the difference from the original is that the original local fleets belonged to the fleets with fixed defense zones.
But now, the above-mentioned seven fleets, although temporarily planned to have a home port, do not actually limit the fixed defense zone. When the military command has an order, any of them can be transferred to any sea area in the world.
To a certain extent, the Datang Navy changed the original local fleet into a mobile fleet for dispatch in wartime.
The battleships under the jurisdiction of the above-mentioned seven fleets are also not fixed. According to different combat missions, the military command dispatches different ships to them.
At the same time, the navy's battleship combat organization was reorganized, and the organization modes such as squadrons, brigades, and squadrons were formulated.
For example, several Shanxi-class battleships that have been in service at present are divided into two battleship brigades, temporarily subordinate to the first battleship brigade and the second battleship brigade.
Then there are cruisers, generally four cruisers of the same level or similar combat performance are organized into a cruiser brigade.
Frigates are similar.
During specific operations, the Navy will gather the above-mentioned battleships, cruisers, and frigates to form a squadron. For example, the 11th squadron, which is directly under the command of the First Fleet, has one battleship brigade and two cruiser brigade under its jurisdiction. , Two frigate brigades, with a total of three Shanxi-class battleships, eight cutting-edge cruisers, and ten frigates.
The operation mode of the entire navy has become the three major administrative fleets for naval construction and daily administrative management.
The Military Command is responsible for setting strategic goals.
The staff is responsible for training and specific command in wartime.
Although the Navy's fleet reorganization plan seems to be large-scale and has a great impact, in fact, the Navy has already prepared for it, and it has already done so before it was officially implemented. What you're doing is just settled.
After the reorganization of the fleet, the commanders of the four major administrative fleets, seven mobile fleets, and dozens of squadrons have also been introduced one after another. The personnel in many positions are more reasonable and meet people's expectations, but the commander of the eleventh squadron is selected. , which makes many people do not understand.
The new commander of the Eleventh Squadron is Rear Admiral Shiraishi.
It's not because of his special status that people don't understand: the nephew of the Queen Mother, the eldest son of Bai Yunqi, and the prince of the Marquis.
There are more sons and daughters of royal relatives and nobles who have joined the army, and he is not inferior to him in the year of Baishi.
It's not because he's young and inexperienced.
In fact, although this person is only twenty-nine years young, he joined the army early, and his qualifications are solid.
This guy was born in the first year of Xuanping, he was born on Huangzhu Mountain. In the fifteenth year of Xuanping, he entered the Ocean Academy at the age of fifteen, and he has been in the army for fourteen years.
At the age of 29 this year, he has always been stuck in the position of brigadier general. This year, he was promoted to rear admiral. However, although this person is young, he became a rear admiral before the age of 30, but he did not cause any problems. What a sensation.
Because everyone knows that his promotion has nothing to do with his status, but nothing to do with talent. It is impossible for Ying Yikang from the army to be promoted to major general of the army, which was a major sensation in the whole army.
As a relative of the royal family, the cousin of the Son of Heaven, and he joined the army early, it was nothing to be a rear admiral after fourteen years.
But what people don't understand is that the promotion of major general is nothing but why can he be the commander of the 11th Squadron?
You must know that ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The Eleventh Squadron is not an ordinary squadron, but one of the most important squadrons.
The Eleventh Squadron, which means the First Squadron under the First Fleet, is just called the Seventy-first Squadron for convenience.
The First Fleet is stationed on the mainland coast and Beihai (Fusang), and its home port is located at the Wusong Port Naval Base. Many naval bases such as Zhoushan, Qingdao, Lushun, Busan, Osaka, and Edo belong to their naval bases.
This is the main fleet that the Datang Empire intends to use to control and defend the waters of Gyeonggi, the coast of Beihai Province and even the entire Central Pacific.
Just such a first fleet, its strength is stronger than the other four fleets operating in the Indian Ocean combined.
The overall strength is also the first among the seven fleets!
The 11th Squadron is also a small half of the main battleship in the First Fleet.
There are currently six Shanxi-class battleships in active service, four of which are in the 11th Squadron.
Such an important fleet naturally needs heavyweights to be in charge.
But why choose the year of Shiraishi!
Is it because he is the cousin of the Son of Heaven?
Does the Son of Heaven intend to elevate relatives? Does this mean that the political status of the Bai family will be higher?
Li Xuan was too lazy to take care of many speculations from the outside world.
The appointment of the commanders of the major fleets was personally selected and decided by Li Xuan, and Baishinian was no exception.
He chose Baishi Nian not because he was his cousin or a foreign relative, but because of his ability.
Speaking of which, he doesn't value his tactical command ability. This person doesn't seem to have performed too brightly in the past ten years of his military career, and his tactical command ability is not very good.
But what interest Li Xuan is that this person's theoretical level is quite a set.
