Any War Stories? Looking for Something Detailed
The battles shouldn't be glossed over. The author should analyze them in detail, whether they're offensive or defensive, and describe how different troop types work together. Those things are secondary, though. Most importantly, the story should showcase the protagonist's or enemy's command skills, rather than having them win through brute force.

The best modern Nanming novel I have read in recent years. I would like to make some suggestions. The territorial division with the Beiqing Dynasty is not clearly stated. It is best to make a map. In addition, there is relatively little emphasis on diplomacy.
Yes, good book. It can be seen that the author knows the navy well It's just that we can't figure out exactly where the territory of Ming and Jiannu is. Also, it would be nice if there were some renderings of the Ming warships. The only drawback is that it's not enough to watch
After reading it for so long, I finally remembered to comment. This book tells the story of a series of naval battles between the Southern Ming Dynasty in the parallel time and space at the end of the 19th century, when the history was bifurcated, and vigorously developed the navy, and the Northern Qing Dynasty and Xiaori. The author has a solid foundation in writing and a very broad range of knowledge. He is very familiar with the construction of warships at the end of the 19th century, the history of naval battles and various allusions, making it feel like he can pick it up at his fingertips. The pace is fast and the writing is concise. It doesn't have the bad habit of being too procrastinating like many online articles. I guess everyone is doing it because of the 4,000 updates per day. The setting is reasonable, there are no inexplicable cheats and system warehouses that taint the design of war literature, and there is no technology tree that goes beyond specific industrial conditions. It looks very reasonable. The detailed descriptions are in place, unlike some online articles where dozens of battleships are bombarding each other at sea without any details. The entire process from target sighting, ammunition loading, artillery firing, and hitting the target is described in detail, and there are no similarities in each battle. It seems very immersive. To sum up briefly, I personally feel that this book is a rare true naval battle article that Tomato has seen in recent years. If it is not unfinished, it has the qualifications to be published as a book. Great opening and closing, fine military products
The author has a solid foundation, especially his understanding of the history of the development of the navy and naval industry from the ironclads to the pre-dreadnoughts and the first generation of dreadnoughts. And it is not rigid. When describing that period of history, the Italian Garibaldi type and improved models are often used in historical facts to conquer the world. Instead, we start from the perspective of artillery, which is not familiar to ordinary military fans. Many naval battles in the book have prototypes, which is a good point. One thing is that the Hanyang ship is a little stronger. It has a central piggyback turret, a unified caliber heavy gun, a small water tube boiler and a steam turbine, and there is no oil in the setting. The heavy oil spray will definitely be gone. This ship will be modified later. Not to mention joining the battle line resistance line, anyway, it will definitely be no problem to compete with the first-generation battle cruiser and some first-generation Dreadnoughts, such as the Spanish class. It is even more outrageous than the decisive battle decoration in an old book. The first-generation Dreadnoughts of various countries at most had the same caliber heavy artillery and small water tube boilers. In addition, there is not much written about the progress of Western European naval industry, but are you not afraid of the Naval Great Leap Forward? Fearless to come out early? After reading the author's book, I have to go back and read the book, The Fearless Sea, Maritime Warfare in the Age of Ironclads, Naval Firepower, Flags and Ships The author's writing style is a bit like Minghui from the old SC forum, but he is a harem-save-the-nation type, which is different from the author.
It's a good book, why doesn't anyone read it?
The writing is very good, about the difficulties faced by people who carry heavy burdens and the decisions that require great wisdom, as well as the various aspects of the human heart and the fierce battles. The description of the social form from top down or bottom up is particularly good, and it is very immersive.
A great book. The author is really attentive. The details are full and the information is very clear.
The writing is concise and humorous, highly recommended.
The Ming Dynasty written by the author has many regrets, and the protagonist is not a superman who destroys the world. But there is no perfect country in the real world, and superheroes only exist on the screen and in books. Even if the Ming Dynasty perishes at the end of the book, at least the protagonist has worked hard, and the Ming Dynasty in the book has stood up, and is not waiting to die in confusion. There are not so many perfect endings in the world.
It's well written, but the early stages are too bland. , Did not reach a climax. The naval battle that follows is very detailed and detailed. Very well written. I hope the author can write out the next step for you. If the previous transition period was completed earlier, the score might be higher and it would attract more readers. Keep writing, author.
