Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 63 Navy (2)
It must be said that the eyes of the white-haired old man are precise, and he can deduce Wufeng's original intention to go south with limited information. It should be admitted that this old man is indeed a master who has experienced many hardships.
But Kirk's eyes lit up. If it is as judged by the other party, the purpose of Li Wufeng's southward trip this time is to control the navy and control the sea passages in the South China Sea. The southern channel of the Eastern Continent will be brought into his hands, and to develop and strengthen the navy, the ships needed will not give his family a great opportunity. Thinking that the Searly family is already hooking up with Li Wufeng, Kirk feels as if Burning like a burning pain.
Seeing his ally behave like this, the white-haired old man knows what the other party is thinking about. He wanted to endure it a little longer, but the weight in his hands is indeed limited, and Li Wufeng's behavior is difficult to use. Judging by common sense, if the material is wrong, the impact will be difficult to estimate. If this is the case, you might as well get in touch first.
"Kirk, you don't have to be like this. If you think it is necessary to join, you can get in touch with the other party first, and find out the other party's reality and intentions, but you must not be too weak, otherwise we will fall into a passive position in the subsequent bargaining .” The white-haired old man didn’t think too much, and casually called his allies who couldn’t wait.
Just when the largest group of industrial and commercial forces in Eastern Samoa also started to contact Xijiang, the secret talks between Wang Liao and the Nanyang Alliance were in full swing. . Wang Liao asked the Nanyang Alliance to withdraw from the war immediately and unconditionally, withdraw from Sanbao City, and not interfere in the military operations of Xijiang. public opinion. The differences in opinions between the two sides were so great that the negotiations broke down quickly, but the unwillingness of the upper echelons of both sides to go to war forced the envoys of both sides to return to the negotiating table.
Both sides of the second negotiation seemed more calm and pragmatic. The Xijiang side no longer asked the Nanyang Alliance to withdraw from the Three Treasures, and the Nanyang Alliance also expressed acceptance of the reality, acknowledging Xijiang’s occupation of the existing control area, and the two sides focused on When it came to the control of the city-state of Lygon, finally under the control of the city-state of Lygon by various methods and intimidation of force by the side of Xijiang, the side of Xijiang exchanged the right of freedom of passage of sea and land commercial routes in exchange for control of the city-state of Lygon, and the side of Xijiang also admitted The fact that the Three Treasures City-State joined the Nanyang Alliance. The two sides also reached a consensus on the issue of mercenaries, agreeing that the mercenaries should be taken over by the Nanyang Alliance. As for the Kutterdan issue, both sides deliberately avoided this issue, leaving it to the Xijiang side and the Maqihan people to solve it themselves.
On December 9th, officials of the city-state of Lygon who did not know that they had been betrayed watched the Western Frontier Army and the Nanyang Alliance Army complete the garrison handover ceremony. Abandoned by the league, it became a ceasefire deal. With the fall of the city-state of Lygon, the number of western border troops from north, south, west, and west continued to increase. The coalition forces stationed in Kutterdan suddenly fell into the predicament of being attacked on three sides. Now that they are in a difficult situation, and the frequent activities of the Lin family's army in Sanjiang and the abnormal activities of the people in Milan have made the somewhat stretched Maqihan people finally feel like retreating.
On the night of December 12th, the Machihans began to retreat from Kutterdan City and retreated to Ronesia. The peninsula coalition forces in Kutterdan also officially announced their disbandment after numerous quarrels and stalemates. After entering the Three Treasures City-State, most of the rest of the army surrendered to the Western Frontier Army and recognized the new ruler. The peninsula campaign officially came to an end.
On December 19, after numerous front-stage negotiations and behind-the-scenes transactions, Su Qin and Wang Liao, on behalf of Li Wufeng, announced in Moluo City and Miyaluo City respectively that the South China Sea Autonomous Dominion and Zhongnan County Formally established, the South China Sea Dominion has jurisdiction over three prefectures, Moro Mansion, East Samoa Mansion and Lygon Mansion. The Dominion has a Governor, and the Governor’s Mansion is located in East Samoa. The original councils of the three cities are merged into the South China Sea Dominion Council. Continue to exercise the power of the parliament, and Zhongnan County has jurisdiction over five prefectures, Yada, Kutterdam, Woda, Miyaluo, and Baliya. There is a governor. The disintegration of the eastern region of the Indochina Peninsula Alliance also indicates that Li Wufeng's power has officially gained a foothold on the coast of the Great Southern Ocean.
"Cangpu, what do you think of this place?" Walking on the harbor pier, a sturdy middle-aged man followed closely behind Wufeng. His eyes were looking around at the ships docked on the shore.
"Returning to Your Highness, from Cangpu's point of view, both Eastern Samoa and Moro are indeed two ports on the South Sea, especially Eastern Samoa, which is more protruding towards the sea, which is more conducive to choking this thing. The waterway to and from. But to say something unpleasant, the naval power of Eastern Samoa is too average. Just now His Highness also asked Cang Pu to take a brief look at their naval fleet. There are no large ships, and there are some small and medium-sized ships. They can only undertake ordinary patrol and inspection tasks. The discipline of sailors and sailors is loose, and the training conditions are not good. It is probably because of the long peace or no war. It is far inferior to the navy of the Nanyang Alliance. If you want to replace your highness Assuming the responsibility of controlling this shipping line, I am afraid that I am not able to do it, no, it is not that I am not able to do it, but that I don’t have the ability at all.”
The bronze-colored middle-aged man is naturally the leader of the pirates who are rampant in the Atlantic Ocean—Lei Cangpu, the leader of the Changfeng Society. A large class of untouchables officially took refuge in the Northwest King, and the Changfenghui and Lanjumen, the core organizations of the fishermen and Lehu, also kept their own characteristics and cooperated with Xijiang in an all-round way. The backbone of Dashuiying, and Lanjumen has also become an important partner of the Xijiang Intelligence Agency in the Jiangnan and East China Sea regions, and the Xijiang Intelligence Agency has gradually infiltrated the power into the Japanese land with the help of Lanjumen, which made Xijiang Gu Quan, director of intelligence, was particularly proud, which made Ling Huyi, director of military intelligence, quite jealous.
Although the water camp in Xijiang is booming, Xijiang is located in the interior after all, and whether it is Guanzhong or Northwest, the water area is not too large, and the waterways are not closely connected, so it is not suitable for large-scale development For the navy, the purpose of setting up the water battalion can only be said to be to train qualified sailors and sailors for the future navy, to lay the foundation for the formation of the navy, and to allow the military to gradually adapt to the development process of the navy. Wufeng also agrees with Lei Cangpu's opinion on this point, but it is not realistic to go eastward to the Five Lakes and Jiangnan on a large scale. Choosing to go south has become an important factor for Wufeng to build a large-scale navy as soon as possible.
The peaceful transfer of regimes between Moro and Eastern Samoa allowed the local industrial and commercial aristocrats to accept Wufeng as the new master, and at the same time gave Wufeng an expected gift, that is, the naval fleets of the two cities. The offshore area where the alliance is located has always been safe, and the naval strength of the two cities is not strong, but it is enough to make Wufeng smile, at least providing himself with a considerable number of ships and sailors, which is a great harvest.
Lei Cangpu's words were like a basin of cold water pouring on Wufeng's head, gradually calming down Wufeng's feverish mind, but this blow did indeed dampen Wufeng's enthusiasm, and he walked forward for a while , Wufeng accepted this fact.
"Cangpu, in your opinion, these two navies are useless?" Wufeng still couldn't hide his resentment in his words.
"No, Your Highness, Cangpu doesn't think so. The navy is different from the army ~IndoMTL.com~ It doesn't take a year or a half to grow strong, and sailors and sailors don't grow in a day or two. With these two naval fleets as the foundation, as long as training is strengthened, especially actual combat drills, Cangpu believes that the combination of these two fleets can be satisfactory, but if you want to become the dominant force in the Southeast Asia, I am afraid there is still a long way to go. Let's go." Lei Cangpu's words were always straightforward, he didn't want to cover up to please the other party, after all, looking at the posture in front of him, this master intends to leave the important task of forming the Xijiang Navy to himself, if he thinks that he wants to cater to the other party , In the end, if he couldn't hand in a qualified answer sheet, if he didn't say anything about his embarrassment, he would make the master look down on him instead, so at this time, he would rather speak harshly than clarify the problem.
Looking away, Wufeng stopped in his tracks. Although his face was still facing the end of the sea outside the harbor, he was obviously thinking about the meaning of Lei Cangpu's words.
"Cangpu, you don't have to give me riddles anymore. How to build a powerful navy and what is needed, you can just ask, funds? Personnel? Technology? As long as I, Li Wufeng can do it, I will do it. Get it for you!"
Wufeng's almost straightforward words made Lei Cangpu a little emotional. He didn't know why this master was so obsessed with the pursuit of the navy. A little bit of pride was born, which at least proves that Changfenghui is indispensable to the master, and it also adds a bit of confidence to the 100,000 untouchables represented behind him. For Yu, from the strength shown by His Highness King Qin, it can already be seen that he is determined to win the empire, and as a representative of the untouchables, if he wants the other party to fulfill his promise, he has to increase the other party's regard for his side. Only in this way can he Let the other party really face up to this promise.
