Aspirations for Nation and Beauty Chapter 7: Dingding Section 16 Southbound

It should be said that Ling Tianfang's words deeply moved the three of them. The rise of the Japanese in the Great Eastern Ocean caused the Tanghe Empire to lose its sea power in the Great Eastern Ocean, and it also brought Treasure Island and Kamchatka Island together. and the Ryukyu Islands were occupied one after another. This is undoubtedly a huge humiliation for the sailors, but the empire, which is caught in division and civil war, has no power to pay attention to these issues. The strong rise of His Royal Highness seems to let them see a trace of I hope that Ling Tianfang's words can be said to come from the heart, so that the three of them won't feel the same way.

Silent for a while, the five of them just strolled on the beach. The three officers of the Imperial Navy were a little hesitant at this time. They had no doubts about the enthusiasm and sincerity of Xijiang, but enthusiasm and sincerity did not represent In reality, to build an ideal naval fleet does not rely solely on emotion, it requires real investment. Although Ling Tianfang has vowed, the problem of funds is quite difficult for any newly established five dynasties , not to mention that Xijiang is still working hard to seize the world, they still have doubts about whether Xijiang can have this determination.

"Lord Ling, Lord Lei, the three of us can understand your feelings and enthusiasm. As Tanghe people, Taiwan, if we are indifferent to foreign enemies' invasion of our sea and territory, then he is not worthy of being a Tanghe People, since you have already said this, if the three of us still shirk and retreat, it will appear that we are too heartless. We accept the invitation of the two of you to stay, and we are also willing to build a powerful team for His Royal Highness. The Dongyang Navy contributes, but let us take the liberty to say something, or let us say something first. If His Royal Highness the King of Thailand cannot follow the conditions promised by Master Ling in the construction of the navy, the three of us will still have to resign. Navy Compared with the army, it is almost impossible for a navy without strength to defend its territorial sovereignty. As for the personnel issue, I think the current Huludao Squadron should be able to select a group of personnel to be used as candidates for the establishment of the Atlantic Navy. Knowing the situation of the newly built Naval Academy in Xijiang, can you also send a group of experienced personnel to form this fleet of Dadongyang?"

The three of them exchanged eyes for a while, and finally Zuo Chang took the lead to say this, and once a decision was made, he directly entered into substantive issues, obviously also feeling the huge pressure and threat facing the Tanghe Empire. Extremely worried. Anxious to change the current status of the navy, just from this point, it can be seen that the three of them have no selfish distractions in defending the interests of the country and the nation, and some only have a high sense of responsibility for the entire navy.

"Okay! Let's make a deal. If Ling can't do this, then the three of them will have nothing to say when they leave the Xijiang Navy. I hope that the three of you will do your best to build this brand new Great Eastern Fleet!"

Ling Tianfang did not say much, and went straight to the topic: "The Great Eastern Fleet uses Yuhang as its main port, and Yuhang will also be the core military port of the entire Great Eastern Fleet. After a while, I immediately set off for Yuhang. Sanan Shipyard and Southeast Shipyard have signed shipbuilding agreements with Xijiang respectively. It is estimated that construction will start soon. Regarding the management and maintenance of military ports and ship construction, I would like to ask Mr. Sa Zhenhai for more Ask me a little bit, and I want Master Zuo Shichang to be fully responsible for the planning, construction and management of the entire Great Eastern Fleet, and I also want Master Huo Yunfeng to take on this burden for the time being for each standing fleet that needs to be established. As for personnel, it needs to be deployed. The three of them can decide on their own. If there is a chance, I would also like to invite the three of you to the Naval Academy in the South China Sea. You can discuss other issues with Mr. Lei. It’s just that although the shipbuilding plan has been issued to Jiangnan Shipyard and Southeast The shipyard, but it will take some time. In Milan, we use it as the flagship of the Great Nanyang Fleet. In addition, there are two old-fashioned large military ships in Quanjun Port. This is the only wealth in Haiphong. But I believe that in the near future, our Great Eastern Fleet will appear on the surface of the vast expanse of Great Eastern with a brand-new attitude!"

I heard that a new type of large military ship built by the Milanese will be in place immediately. The faces of the three of them couldn't help but burst into joy. However, this also means that Xijiang is really going to spare no effort to develop the navy. It seems that the Japanese invasion of the coast has already made His Royal Highness, who is about to rule the empire, feel the pain, and this is the great opportunity for the Great Eastern Navy Fleet. .

Just a few days after Ling Tianfang and Lei Cangpu stayed in Huludao, Zuo Shichang, Sa Zhenhai, and Huo Yunfeng, who were fully motivated, began to make big moves and selected a group of talented people. In addition to experienced and energetic naval officers for Ling Tianfang and Lei Cangpu to have a look at, Zuo Shichang, as the planner of the Great Eastern Fleet, immediately took on heavy responsibilities, selecting personnel, deploying ships at high speed, making plans, and a series of He was so busy with complicated work that he was dizzy, but fortunately, a group of his loyal old subordinates were quickly recognized by Ling Tianfang, and they quickly went to their posts to help him share the heavy work.

And Sa Zhenhai also acted as Zuo Shichang's assistant. In addition to dispatching ships and contacting the shipyard to arrange port maintenance and restart work, Sa Zhenhai also had an extremely important responsibility, that is, the relationship with Lei Cangpu. Several officials worked together to establish the East Ocean Branch of the Naval Intelligence Bureau. The main task is to collect the situation related to coastal defense in the entire Great Eastern Ocean, with the focus on targeting the Japanese, the construction and activities of the navy in all aspects, the development of ship manufacturing technology, the status quo of islands in coastal areas, and the collection and arrangement of various charts and maps. Regional ports, especially military port intelligence collection, the complicated work overwhelmed Sa Zhenhai, but in his own words, it was the longest time since he had been free, and he was able to work happily, no matter how hard it was. Tired, that is also happy!

Mian Huo Feng's responsibility is more clear. Immediately lead part of the sailors to Quanjun Port to receive the ships parked there. Those that need to be repaired will immediately enter the Southeast Shipyard for maintenance. Daily training can only start with Huludao as the home port.

This time Ling Tianfang's southeast luggage landed Wufeng gave him full power, and he used this power to the extreme without hesitation, except for appointing Zuo Shichang as the first commander of the Great Eastern Fleet He also appointed Sa Zhenhai as the deputy commander of the Great Eastern Fleet and each commander of the Yuhang Military Port Base, and Huo Yunfeng was appointed as the commander of each standing fleet of the Great Eastern Fleet. With the appointment of Tian Fang, a large number of officers were quickly promoted to middle and senior officers after several consecutive ranks, which was simply unimaginable in the imperial navy. Of course, all of this is a matter of authority. All appointments of high-ranking officials still need to pass the political review of these people by the security department, and then His Royal Highness Taiwu will sign the order before it will come into effect. Until now, they are only temporary acting positions.

The re-recruitment of the officers and soldiers of the former Imperial Navy has also been carried out in an all-round way. This work has received enthusiastic responses from all over the country. In addition, the favorable treatment of military officers and soldiers in Xijiang has also led to many officers and soldiers of the imperial navy, and even the phenomenon of officers and soldiers of the Changchong imperial navy joining the army. Work brings a lot of stress and distress. But generally speaking, everything is proceeding according to the established plan, and Ling Tianfang did not expect the smooth progress.

On October 23rd, 699 in the Gregorian calendar of the mainland, Ling Tianfang secretly visited the Five Kingdoms of Milan~IndoMTL.com~ on the establishment of the new regime and the support of the Five Kingdoms of Milan for the Xijiang Navy, and King Louis XI of Milan and Prime Minister Bedo Duke Rich and other important officials negotiated, and both sides agreed that after Li Wufeng took over the imperial capital, the Kingdom of Milan would first recognize the orthodox status of the new regime, and promised to help the Xijiang Navy to build warships. Entering the academy, Xijiang and the Three Kingdoms Alliance will work together to curb the sea threats of the Japanese and the Machihans who are expanding in the Atlantic Ocean, and negotiate on specific plans. The two sides also held the highest-level consultation on the sovereignty of the Mawen Islands, and proposed to distribute the ownership of the Mawen Islands intentionally. This should be done after Li Wufeng obtained the supreme ruling power of the Tanghe Empire.

During his stay in the Kingdom of Milan, Ling Tianfang inspected first the First Fleet of the Milan Royal Navy stationed in Naples, the capital of Milan, and the first fleet of the Royal Milan Navy in Taranto, which is stationed in every three major cities of Milan and the second largest port. The Second Fleet, Taranto is located at the intersection of the North Pearl Islands and the Northward Warm Current. It is particularly rich in fishery resources. It is a famous fishing ground with a radius of 100 miles. It is extremely important in terms of economic status and military status, so it was also built here. The second largest base of the Milan Navy. Before that, Ling Tianfang also visited the largest shipyard in Milan, Naples Royal Shipyard, and inspected the workshops and docks of the shipyard. Afterwards, Ling Tianfang visited the Milan Royal Naval Academy in the outskirts of the capital of Milan, Naples. The official identity invited the president of the Royal Academy of Milan and some of its professors to visit the Xijiang Naval Academy located in the South China Sea Autonomous East Samoa Port in Xijiang.
