Chapter 624: A Naval Plan to Kill People

There is no need to go to war with the Krull Kingdom now, this is Lin Ziran's cognition.

After all, the Krull Kingdom is not very easy to fight, the empire is far away, and its naval strength is the largest in the world, although its army size is a little smaller, but it is also elite.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to treat the other conquests of the entire kingdom island as puppet kingdoms, and it would be impossible to gain some colonies on other continents, or even on the southern continent.

The navy of the Krull Kingdom is the first navy in the contemporary world, with a total tonnage of more than 800,000 tons of its huge naval fleet, which is actually not too big, the Valia Empire has 500,000 tons of naval warships, the Gafia Empire has 300,000 tons of naval warships, the Orissa Empire also has more than 100,000 tons of warships, and even the small Orr Kingdom has nearly 100,000 tons of warships.

However, many of the 800,000-ton warships are armored ships, and the total tonnage of armored ships exceeds 600,000 tons, which is more than the total tonnage of armored ships of other countries.

Moreover, most of the armored ships of the Krull Kingdom are ocean-going armored ships, and they do not have a bunch of thousands of tons of shore defense ironclad ships or even river gunboats like many other countries.

Compared with the position, after the Lin Dynasty of the Daheng Empire integrated a number of local fleets, although the total tonnage was not small, with more than 100,000 tons, a considerable part of them were inland river gunboats and offshore ships, which were basically unable to be used for ocean-going operations.

Among the ocean-going vessels, a considerable number of them are still unarmored ships, and there are only 11 ocean-going armored ships in total, with a total tonnage of about 30,000 tons.

And it also includes the Endless Sea ironclad ship with a displacement of 10,000 tons, but it is already old, and it has no modification value, and is ready to be scrapped.

If the Endless Sea Ironclad is eliminated, then there will only be ten left, among which the only new warships are the Pingbo armored ship and the Luo Hai dome cruiser.

Now if you pull out all the warships of the Imperial Navy, it is estimated that you will not be able to defeat the Krull Kingdom Navy detachment outside the Quping Naval Base.

But even then, that's a fart!

However, although the Lin Dynasty sent people to negotiate with the fleet of the Krull Kingdom, although it was a mistake, it was because you broke into the territorial waters of our Daheng, but our Daheng is a country of benevolence, so we will not pursue it.

In short, the tone was so impulsive that the people in the fleet of the Krull Kingdom wanted to vomit blood when they heard it!

However, even if you are angry, you can't really start a war for this, after all, although the Daheng Empire on the other side can't get on the table, but the Daheng Army is the first in the world!

Besides, anyone with a discerning eye knows that Daheng is going to be completely reunified, and this process of reunification is unstoppable by other countries.

Once Daheng is reunified and the national strength is integrated, it will immediately return to the sequence of first-class powers.

And those who know a little bit about the history of the Daheng people know that it will not take long for the reunified Daheng to launch a foreign war, which is a thousand-year-old tradition of the Daheng people, without exception!

Why is the Southern Continent and the Northern Six Nations Alliance and the South so tense now, it is because the Great Heng people have not yet been unified, and they are already clamoring to go north to kill the Six Nations Alliance, go south to pacify the two southern countries, and once again launch the Hengao War to seize the Endless Strait!

But if at this time, if the contradiction between the Krull Kingdom and the Lin Dynasty of the Great Heng Empire intensifies, I am afraid that the Great Heng people will stare at their Krull Kingdom to prepare for war.

Daheng has a population of 200 million, although the technology is a little worse, but it is still perfect and large-scale national defense industry system, and there is endless food, rich in various mineral resources, the most important thing is that Daheng people have always been weak in civil wars, and strong in foreign wars.

Once such a great heng is unified, once they make full-scale preparations for the Krull Kingdom, the devil knows how many warships they can build to fight the Krull Kingdom in a fleet duel.

Their Krull Kingdom and the Daheng Empire are far away, and they don't have any conflicts of interest with each other, so they can't directly confront the Daheng Empire, so that after the Daheng Empire is unified, it is not good to continue to aim at the Southern Continent to fight, it is best to let the Daheng Empire fall on the Southern Continent again, and the empire will collapse again.

Both sides have concerns, so although both sides have said a lot of cruel things, in the end it still did not turn into a large-scale conflict or even a war.

When the two sides negotiated, after a heated discussion, they tacitly chose to settle the matter, when this thing never happened!

However, after this matter was over, the Daheng Imperial Navy officially submitted the second phase of the navy development plan to Lin Ziran.

Obviously, this incident seriously stimulated some of the generals of the Imperial Navy, who felt that the original first phase of the naval development plan was still too conservative, so not long after the first phase of the naval development plan was implemented, the second phase of the naval development plan was made.

And the planned goal is scary!

The first part of the second phase of the Navy's development plan is about the size of the fleet, but about the improvement and expansion of port facilities.

The core purpose was to expand the three major naval ports of the empire, the three major naval ports were Luohai Port in Nanhai Prefecture, Nanfeng Port in the southernmost tip of the Dongdingzhou Peninsula, and Quping Port in Jingzhou.

All three ports were important naval bases for the Daheng Empire.

Luo Haigang is located at the mouth of the Luo River, the port is strictly an inland port, because the port is actually located in the Luo River, but there is a fortress at the mouth of the river, so the protection ability is also quite good, and the mouth of the Luo River is deep, and at the same time wide, there is also a harbor inside, so it has always been the most important port in the southern region of the empire, as for the military port, it is only a part of the Luo Haigang.

The same is true of Nanfeng Port, although the geographical location is important and can hold the Shayangwan Strait, but the port belongs to the mouth of the Baiquan River, the most important river in Dongdingzhou, so the port is also an inland port, which is used for both military and civilian purposes.

As for Quping Port, this port is a purely military port, which can be seen from the name, the full name of this port is Quping Naval Base, which is not open to civilian ships.

The interior of the harbor has a wide area of deep-water bay, which can moor a large number of warships at the same time, and the coast is blocked by high mountains, and the wind and waves are calm, and it can also prevent the enemy fleet from breaking in.

Moreover, it is located at the junction of Jinghe Bay and Endless Sea at the mouth of the Jinghe River, which can effectively block the entrance and exit of Jinghe Bay and protect the estuary of the Jinghe River.

The importance of these three ports is undoubted, the location is critical, the conditions are good, and if the Imperial Navy wants to develop port facilities, these three ports must be developed.

In addition to these three ports, the Navy plans to repair and upgrade equipment to four medium-sized ports to enable them to berth large-tonnage 10,000-ton ironclad ships, as well as provide supplies and maintenance.
