Chapter 529 As Liu Xianghe let out her body, Zheng Nan appeared at the door.

So, the expression on Boulbron's face was replaced by extreme disappointment.

Of course, Haynes's mind is not just about Palembang.

While he persuaded the commander of the Indian Ocean Fleet, General Henry Kepail, to send the First Iron Armor Detachment and the Second Guard Iron Armor Detachment to Palembang, he also ordered part of the Strait Colony led by Major General Neville Chamberlain to immediately cross the Straits of Malacca and enter North Sumatra, and together with the Acehs, to give the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom a direct blow to the land.

This is what you ask, I will hit mine.

On April 10, Beijing, Taiping Heavenly Kingdom National Defense and Military Commission. Although it had already arrived for supper, Lin Haifeng, Lin Fengxiang and Li Xiucheng were still focused on the huge sand table model in front of him. Next to a chair not far away was the Burbron, who had been almost as close as a shadow to Lin Haifeng these days.

Unlike Lin Haifeng and the other three who were standing by the sand table and thinking intently, Bullbron seemed quite irritable at this time. He sat, stood, looked at Lin Haifeng and the other three who looked like a wooden carving, and then turned his eyes to the door that seemed to be tightly closed since he came in.

"squeak……"

Although the door opened was not loud, it not only immediately attracted the eyes of Lin Haifeng and the other two who were concentrating.

Bullbron, who had just landed his butt on the chair, not only jumped up from the chair, but when he saw that Chairman Lin's "happy" face appeared at the door, Bullbron's face also had a look that was like a long drought and spring rain.

"Prime Minister Zheng is here."

As Liu Xianghe let out her body, Zheng Nan appeared at the door.

So, the expression on Boulbron's face was replaced by extreme disappointment.

In fact, if we had to look carefully at the expressions of Lin Haifeng and the other two at the moment, it would not be much different from those of Bulbron. Because they were anxious to wait for it now, it was not Zheng Nan.

After a disappointed expression flashed on his face, Lin Haifeng finally left the sand table and greeted Zheng Nan with a smile, "Which gust of fragrant wind is blowing your big drive?"

"south wind."

After Zheng Nan held his fists to the four people in the room one by one, he also began to walk towards the sand table, "Is there new news from the sea whale?"

Sea whale?

No, what Zheng Nan mentioned was the "sea whale".

More than ten years ago in Shanghai, Lin Haifeng once retained a "boat that likes to study diving" for Shanghai Oriental Industrial Company. Because he claimed to be "the best", Su Sanniang thought that "is not a man, he is a little arrogant" and a man named Holland.

Then, under the personal arrangement of Lin Haifeng, the young Irishman was first sent to the School of Science of Oriental University for a year, and then officially entered and became a member of the Ship Institute of Shanghai Oriental Industrial Research Institute.

In 1861, an article about "underwater attackers" was published in the internal journal of the Red Army University, "Military Science Exploration". As soon as this article signed by Holland was published, it not only caused a huge sensation at the newly born Red Army University Naval Academy, but also caused the Red Army students who came from all directions, most of whom had only a little knowledge of cruisers, destroyers, torpedo boats and other surface combat ships after entering the school, developed a strong interest and wireless imagination about this "attacker" that could actually be hidden underwater.

First, amateur interest groups targeting "underwater attackers" appeared one after another among the Red Sea soldiers. Then, the imagination articles about "underwater attackers" from the Red Sea soldiers were also published one after another. Later, the students were no longer willing to be in this "fake-hand" imagination activity that only talks, and began to look for various simple tools and materials, and vowed to really get into the water and try it.

Seeing that the students' enthusiasm was indeed aroused, the heads and officials of the Naval Academy naturally could not be idle anymore.

As a result, the officials of the Naval Academy came forward one after another. While taking advantage of the situation, they gathered the amateur groups formed by the scholars, actively mobilized the corresponding instructors to provide guidance, and tried every possible way to provide the students with experimental sites, equipment and materials. On the other hand, they began to make use of the "unique" superior conditions they had, and joined forces with the supervisors of the Red Army University to directly hit the report to President Lin, and firmly demanded that the research base of the "underwater attack device" be set up within their Naval Academy.

After a long time of trouble, the reason why the Red Army University published Holland's article in their "Military Science Exploration" turned out to be a huge "conspiracy" committed by the officials of the Red Army University.

The reason why the supervisors of the Red Army University initiated this "conspiracy" was entirely because of a friendly invitation from the Oriental Industrial Shipbuilding Institute. It was during this friendly invitation that the officials of the Red Army University heard about the "underwater attack device" for the first time, and at the same time they developed a strong interest in this "underwater attack device".

Although the Red Army University is still very young, in the minds of the supervisors of the Red Army University, their infantry and artillery departments have long been famous, because the Red Army generals who walked out from them, they would just mention a representative figure, which would be enough to shock the country and abroad.

However, the Naval Academy was first established and was in the period of "famous and fame".

Cultivating generals to be a powerful player in the future naval battles is naturally a way to "make a name for thousands of people", but this can only represent one aspect of the Naval Academy. What the supervisors of the Red Army University, especially the officials of the Naval Academy, need is the Naval Academy of the Red Navy, which has a comprehensive reputation.

Therefore, if you want to build a comprehensive naval academy, you must also make achievements in the field of scientific theory.

As the president of the Red Army University's Naval Academy in infancy, Lin Haifeng, who has always been famous for "protecting his calf", seemed very "helpless" to ask for the Naval Academy of the Red Army University to establish a research institution. Under his helplessness, he naturally could only "helplessly" go to Zheng Nan, who was in charge of national defense research.

Of course, Lin Haifeng, who "protects his calf", is definitely not a person without principles. This time, the reason why he was "really too biased (Oriental Industrial Language)" Naval Academy was that in the "imaginative articles" of the Red Navy soldiers attached to the report of the Red Army University, he not only saw the term "submarine", but also saw the submarine appearance diagram that was almost the same as the real submarine he had.

After conducting a serious and meticulous field assessment of the Naval Academy, Zheng Nan still reluctantly transferred some technicians from Oriental Industry and its craftsmanship to the Naval Academy of the Red Army University, and naturally, Holland himself.

In this way, in the first half of 1868, through the efforts of scientific and technological personnel from the Naval Academy Research Institute and batches of outstanding scholars from the Naval Academy, another major weapon in the world's navy - a submarine that can truly achieve the birth of underwater.
