Aspirations for Nation and Beauty Chapter 1: Jin Ge’s first act
When a strong fragrance lingered behind him, Wufeng knew without even thinking that the woman he loved came behind him. The sweet aroma is a kind of petal essence from the Western Continent. The liquid extracted and tanned from a variety of wildflower petals is more than ten times more expensive than gold. The production of luxury goods in the Western Continent has always surpassed other regions in the mainland. , especially the Kingdom of Rumelia and the Famini Empire in the Hansen League are the main producers of perfumes in the mainland, and women in the entire continent are willing to fall in love with the endless perfumes of these two regions.
Turning around, seeing the worried look in the other party's sea-blue eyes, Wufeng felt a little ashamed. It is rare to be intimate, but the worry and love in the lover's eyes makes Wufeng feel warm, at least she is still paying attention to herself silently, no matter where she lives. Although Angel's lineage issue has been criticized by ultra-conservatives who claim to be orthodox in the Tang clan, there is still a voice clamoring that even if Angel ascends to the position of queen, the male heirs born to her must not enjoy the status of heir to the emperor, the heir to the emperor Only male heirs born of the pure Tang family among the emperor's concubines can qualify. This kind of voice is quite influential in the imperial capital, but Wufeng has never regretted making Angel the queen, and the voices of those extreme conservatives are even more Is dismissive.
Seeing the complicated look in her husband's eyes, Angel didn't know that her husband was feeling uneasy because of the guilt in his heart, and thought that her arrival disturbed the other party's deep thinking.
"Wufeng, take a break, you are too tired these days, if you can, why not let me accompany you to Jiangnan for a tour, Master Ling has returned to Beijing long ago? The current state of the empire is stable , there are Xiao Tang Ling Tianfang inside, Su Qin Bo Jinchen outside, and they sit in the imperial capital, I believe there is no problem. You can go to the south of the Yangtze River to relax and relax. The charm of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River has been famous for a long time. Have you always wanted to visit it? Is it?" Angel naturally took Wufeng's right arm. said leisurely.
A gleam of joy flashed in Wufeng's eyes, and then faded away, "I have this idea, I'm afraid Xiao Tang and the others won't agree, but since you said that, I'm determined to rebel against them I have been thinking about it once. I have been thinking about the Jiangnan Navy, I don’t know how those guys are doing now, Xiao Tang complains all day long that the navy is too expensive, if these guys can’t give me a satisfactory explanation, then let them Wait for the military law to serve you."
"Wufeng, I am here to accompany you to relax, not for military and political affairs. If I only go to inspect military affairs, then I don't want to go to Jiangnan." Angel frowned slightly. My husband is always thinking about military and political affairs. If the tension is too long, there will be problems. Angel doesn't want her husband to be too tired and nervous.
"Hehe, take care of both public and private interests, let's focus on personal interests. You can't go around the south of the Yangtze River in such a large circle, and just take a look at the places that need to be interrogated, right? That would be a bit too hypocritical." Wu Feng smiled. on the road.
Wufeng has always hoped to inspect the East China Sea and Jiangnan in the near future. The Jiangnan and East China Seas are the foundation of the empire's finances, although they are now backed by the funds seized from India. In a short period of time, it is safe, but this is a one-shot deal after all. The accumulation of the Tik people has been taken away by himself, while the funds of the Yakuan people have been robbed by the Hansen Alliance. It is impossible for Indian to add much money to the empire's finances in a short period of time, and the people of Hyderabad have to consider the overall interests of the entire Indian region, and they cannot use up their resources for a while.
The real thing is to develop the empire's economy and increase fiscal revenue, while Jiangnan and Donghai occupy a pivotal position in the empire's fiscal revenue, so Wufeng let Wang Zongxi and Lu Man sit in these two places. Both of them are very good at developing the economy. Judging from the current situation, although the methods are different, the results are quite remarkable. Wufeng hopes to promote the further development of the industry and commerce of the two places through inspections, and to promote the development of the two places. The local business tycoons went out of the south of the Yangtze River and the East China Sea to invest funds in other regions of the empire, driving the economic development of other regions, and also balancing the current extremely unbalanced development of the empire.
As for the naval issue, it is also an important aspect that Wufeng needs to inspect. Lei Cangpu alone takes care of the development of the Eastern and Nanyang navies. The Navy cooperated with the request, and it seems that the preliminary construction results of the Nanyang Navy fleet can be tested, while the Dongyang Navy relies more on the old people of the original Tanghe Navy, although Ling Tianfang and Lei Cangpu both vowed that this batch of Tanghe Navy The veteran is quite accomplished in naval construction and training, but Wufeng still hopes to see it with his own eyes, only in this way can he feel more at ease in his heart.
Some humid southeast wind blows Zuo Shichang's cheeks a little itchy, smelling the warm sea breeze, the slightly salty smell can only be appreciated by athletes who have lived in this environment for a long time. Zuo Shichang thinks so, the sound of the Jinpeng flag on the flagship, and the dancing of various sail shadows show that this military port has ushered in another prosperous period.
Half a year, whether it is long or short, although he is still not satisfied with the number of ships allocated by the Navy Headquarters to the Great Eastern Fleet, Zuo Shichang can still understand Lei Cangpu's difficulties. Simultaneously starting the construction plan, it is difficult for the commander of the navy to balance the needs of the two fleets, and the domestic shipbuilding plan has not yet been fully rolled out, and the main thing is to obtain it from the Milanese, which of course is a bit embarrassing. , but Lei Cangpu barely made a bowl of water. Although only two ships were added to the Great Eastern Fleet on the large warships, a lot was added to the small and medium-sized ships. This has already made Zuo Shichang I am very satisfied. After all, the construction of the Great Nanyang Fleet started first, but the Great Eastern Fleet was a step late. It is already very good to be able to **** two large warships from the Great Nanyang Fleet.
Although Zuo Shichang knows that building an ocean-going fleet is inseparable from large-scale warships, he knows that the Atlantic Fleet must be quickly armed to deal with the current enemy. In fact, the need for large-scale warships is not very urgent. From the perspective of long-term planning in the future, large warships are indispensable. At present, small and medium-sized fast warships are actually more useful, especially when dealing with the biggest enemy of the empire in the Atlantic Ocean, the Japanese. Greater utility in combat.
So he instructed Huo Yunfeng to pay more attention to the offensive performance of the fleet when forming the first standing fleet of the Great Eastern Navy. A big war is still out of the question, so the First Standing Fleet must first ensure fast maneuvering and fierce strike capabilities, especially when the Japanese navy currently occupies an absolute advantage in the central and northern parts of the Atlantic Ocean.
And Huo Yunfeng also faithfully implemented this intention. The entire First Standing Fleet has only one large military ship as the flagship, and the rest are all composed of small and medium-sized ships. The other large military ship, Zuo Shichang, has been used Let's consider forming a second standing fleet. Although there has not been a large-scale frontal conflict with the Japanese naval fleet for so long, Huo Yunfeng's First Standing Fleet has successfully ambushed the transport fleet from the Japanese mainland to Kamchatka and Treasure Island twice, and achieved good results. This also made the Japanese naval fleet very angry, but it also had to start **** missions, and also began to consciously look for fighters to attack the fleet. It was under such circumstances that Zuo Shichang hoped to form a second standing fleet as soon as possible, with two fists hitting people, the first and second fleets could support each other and cover each other. Lay the groundwork for the next phase of the Great War.
"Brother Zuo, the Privy Council of the Empire has sent a secret report. His Majesty the Emperor may inspect Jiangnan in the near future. One of the important purposes is to review and inspect the Great Eastern Navy. The Privy Council requires us to make full preparations for the inspection of His Majesty the Emperor~IndoMTL .com~ This is a rare opportunity. The last time Master Ling came to inspect, he mentioned that he was a front stand for the emperor. Sure enough, the focus of the emperor's tour of the south of the Yangtze River this time is to inspect the construction of the navy. The development prospects of our navy Look at the performance of our fleet."
Excitedly boarding the ship, Sa Zhenhai, who was dressed in the new navy uniform of the Imperial Navy, waved the secret document in his hand and shouted excitedly, it is obviously His Majesty the Emperor who can make this calm admiral lose his composure. He was overwhelmed with joy at the opportunities that a visit to the Atlantic Fleet might present.
"Oh?" Zuo Shichang's spirit also lifted. Of course, this is news worth celebrating. This can be seen, and the navy can also use this shareholder wind to usher in a great opportunity for development, "Has it been confirmed? When?"
"The letter from the Privy Council said that it has been basically confirmed. The specific time should be within one to two months. It is estimated that the three military ports of Yuhang, Zhuangyuan'ao and Quanzhou will be inspected. I have already deployed it, and all aspects must be done well. Preparations, Yunfeng's side is probably the most important thing, our emperor doesn't like to put on airs, he wants to see real things, things that can go to the battlefield to fight hard and fight hard." Sa Zhenhai smacked his lips , grinning with his mouth open. Jiangshan Meirenzhi, Chapter 3, Sweeping Liuhe, Chapter 1, Jin Ge's first move, Festival 51 Parade (1)
