0658 Secret Service Expansion
The Asian part was a little longer than the Mediterranean part. When Pierce and Dylan finished talking about Sing Island, the time was already at 11:40.
It was already late, Lorraine was the first to applaud, and then the restaurant applause was thunderous.
As the applause gradually faded, Lorraine stood up and made a summary.
"In November 1785, the special service formation left the port from Miami, and in November 1787, the special service formation returned to its entire ship without any damage."
"In two years, Pierce took his fleet across half of the earth, from America to Europe, from Europe to Africa, traveled through the calm Mediterranean Sea, galloping through the windy Indian Ocean until it penetrated Malacca and touched the edge of the South China Sea."
"He defeated Barbarossa Heiding's descendants and turned the Mediterranean into a treasure trove of the European branch. He completed the commission of the East India Company and brought Xingdao into Carmen's pocket."
"It is no exaggeration to praise the achievements of opening up Asian routes. India's tea, Southeast Asia's treasures, and the priceless silk and porcelain of the Qing Dynasty. All of this will continue to be reflected in the annual meeting accounts in the next few years, becoming the key to Drake's continued strength."
"But this is not the reason why I asked you to come here today." Lorraine grimaced. "This time, all the leaders of the direct fleet, the admiral, the deputy admiral, the alternate admiral, the deputy admiral, and the chiefs of the staff and the tactics."
"At 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, all relevant reports on this expedition of the Secret Service will be delivered to you exactly, whether formal or informal, public or confidential. You have three days to read and tell me whether Admiral Pierce Artis can end his internship and regain the authorization of free action. This is the first thing."
Lorraine raised a finger, shook it, and then raised another one.
"The second thing." He turned his head and looked at Pierce. "The second generation of the special Galen high-speed destroyers [Helveer] and [Shilude] will be transferred to the special service formation next month, and the high-speed Brig ships [Red Crane] and [Bald Eagle] will be transferred to the high-speed Brig ships [Red Crane] and [Bald Eagle]."
"[The Lady] will be maintained for six months in Jackdaw Dock. The first generation of the Secretariat's experimental ships [Future] and [New Code] will also be sent to the Saint-Dayna Dock for upgrades to correct the defects in the design of that year."
"In addition, the special service formation will also receive a new experimental ship, which is the special Brigentine communication ship of the flyshaft design team delivered a month ago. It has a maximum speed of 20.5 knots, which is probably the world's first brig sailboat to climb 20 knots."
As for the sudden news, Lorraine did not release any news to the people in the special service formation in advance.
Pierce opened her mouth wide in shock, and her expression management collapsed completely.
Lorraine was so amused by his appearance that she wanted to laugh, but she still tried to endure it.
"The special service formation is promoted to a nine-ship formation. Your team must seize the time to deduce tactical actions. The Yelaixiang is not a warship, and it cannot even be regarded as an armed merchant ship. You must adapt as soon as possible."
"There is also the Daughter. The preparation period for the Future and New Code this time is more than six months. There is no need to consider the joint training of the formation for the time being, but the new and old ship teams must get familiar with each other quickly."
"The rest..." Lorraine thought for a while, "I won't stay overnight tonight. If there is nothing special about everyone, I will leave the meeting."
...
For the sake of the sailing era, the formation of the regiment was always limited to a generally stable framework.
The most special thing is the organization of two ships, which are more common in scouts and important intelligence communications. The two ships are often the enemy. The purpose of the organization is mostly not to fight against the enemy, but there are also elite plans to install dual main battleships, with suppression and short-strike as the core combat missions.
Common ship group organization is divided into three categories: large, medium and small.
Small fleets have 3 to 5 ships in size, generally including more than 2 warships, more than 1 ship communications, auxiliary ships, and are mostly used for the support of the main fleet, special operations or targeted special tasks.
The special service formation was originally an editor, with its main task being to test new ships; the Portuguese Scolari fleet during the Muscat War was also an editor, with its own reputation, and it was to suppress bandits and promote power.
In addition, the Nelson fleet during Halloween Operation and the Sea-Survey Operation were also compiled. The former is for special operations and the latter is for sneak attacks.
The medium-sized fleet has a size of 8 to 12 ships, including main battles, auxiliary battles and communication ships above 2 ships.
Medium-sized fleets are organized by Pijin Oil, which has the ability to fight independently and the conditions to cooperate with large-scale combat.
Nelson in history was a believer and Dana of the Central Army Corps. In Copenhagen, he fought as deputy Peter Parker to destroy the Danish Navy. Later in Trafalgar, he even divided the powerful Mediterranean fleet into two and joined forces with Collingwood to stage a textbook-style victory over the strong with the weak.
Lorraine also prefers the middle-engine ship regiment, perhaps because the commander who is obsessed with approaching has a more meticulous control over the warships under his command, unlike the traditional battle line generals who can use limited energy to take care of more warships.
The regiments of more than 15 ships are regarded as large-scale organizations, generally between 15 and 25 ships. They are often seen as two extreme examples of pirate regiments with strict training and clear government orders, as well as lack of training and planning, and the daily abandonment of commanders.
As for the remaining ones, the administrative organization of the fleet anchor port is often a large fleet, but this organization is rarely used for combat. With the communication capabilities of the 18th century, the large organization is actually not suitable for normal combat.
Back to the point, the medium-level team's establishment scale was actually decided at the beginning of the establishment, and the first design was 12 new ships.
But the Drake Chamber of Commerce at that time was far from its current foundation. It was really hard to satisfy the first, second and third formations of special service 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 Valkyrie lost weight. The future and the new generation were the first two Shishen-level ships to be built. Both the main plan was finalized, and the details still need to be discussed.
Lorraine pulled them together and handed them over to Pierce, and then brought Cron's sister-in-law to his command in order to collect data fully and use it for subsequent improvements.
The test work was basically completed after the Muscat War.
The results of the Lady were widely used on the original American and Constitutional numbers purchased by the American Navy, which reduced the production cost by about 18%. Of course, this has nothing to do with the selling price.
The achievements of the future and the new generation did not affect the stereotype of the first generation of the servant god, but instead gave birth to the second generation of the servant god Mistera, which is not a secret in the Drake Chamber of Commerce.
From the pace of the plan, after the test is completed, the special service formation should be officially renovated and expanded.
The problem is that the Battle of Bastel made Favna famous in various senses. Katerina sat in a wheelchair with red eyes to the girl she liked, and broke up the second formation originally intended to be used as the special service expansion team.
Lorraine must have felt unhappy even though she didn't say it. This unhappiness fermented in her heart, which greatly led to the later exercise between Pierce and Favna.
As a result of the exercise, Fafna proved that she deserved to be favored with her undisputed excellent command. The young master who had not woken up almost made Lorraine hemiplegic with his unparalleled gun technique.
Well, the special service formation was bombed out by Lorraine, and it took two years for a while. The expansion plan could only be postponed, until today, and it was in place in one step.
Pierce's heart was filled with surprises of suffering and suffering. The people who participated in the report passed by him with laughter and laughter, but he didn't notice it at all.
Until everyone was exposed, Lorraine saw that he was still standing there, and her eyebrows were crooked and her eyes were slanted to pick up a candy cube from the table. With a pop, she threw it into the mouth that had been open for at least five minutes.
Sloth broke...
Pierce screamed in embarrassment and focused his mind, then he found that he and Lorraine were the only ones left in the restaurant.
"elder brother……"
"What?" Lorraine deliberately looked stern, "I'm not satisfied with the expansion?"
Pierce blinked in confusion: "Expand?"
This is the legendary surprise that is so scattered!
Lorraine gave up, sat down, covered her face, and waved her hand like a fly, just to knock the eldest master of the Drake family farther away, the farther the better.
Pierce felt very wronged and wrinkled with a wrinkled face that could not remember which formation was going to be expanded. When did this topic be mentioned?
But he has more important things.
He sat down and cleared his throat: "Brother... President, when he was fighting in Malacca, I was missing for two months from the establishment of the Hidden Alliance in April to the mediation in June."
"President, guess where I went?"
Chapter completed!
