And no one has beaten them inexplicably in the last fifty years, so it means that someone has beaten them inexplicably more than fifty years ago, so these people from the Krull Kingdom remembered: more than fifty years ago, they were beaten by someone for no reason, and it was these damn Daheng people who did it......

At that time, it was the Hengao War, which was not the first naval power at that time, and could barely be regarded as the fifth in the world, and the navy of the Krull Kingdom, which could barely be regarded as the fifth in the world, escorted the merchant fleet to the southern countries of the southern continent for trade, and was mistaken for the imperial fleet by the nearby patrol and blockade, and was beaten indiscriminately.

Ma Dan, the eastern sea of the Orissa Empire, that is a traditional route, further east is the deep sea, and there is a large windless belt, and the ships of the sail era are waiting for death if they go in.

But at that time, who made the Krull Kingdom just an ordinary maritime power, and the people of Daheng said that they would fight it.

Thinking of this now, and looking at the arrogant appearance of those few big Hengren small broken ships just now, the people of the Krull Kingdom are even more angry, and directly order a counterattack!

And then......

Ren Zhongping, the Navy Shaoqing, fled all the way back with three warships.

But the fleet of the navy of the Krull Kingdom has also been in hot pursuit, and now it is outside the Quping Naval Base, wanting to ask for an explanation.

If it weren't for their restraint, I'm afraid they would have to blockade the Quping Naval Base and even the mouth of the Jinghe River.

After learning about the situation from the emergency report, Lin Ziran felt a little headache, and he realized that this matter was not easy to handle!

No matter what the reason is, it is a fact that the two sides are clashing now, and the key is that the two sides are really firing, even if their own side is a mistake, and the other party's counterattack has not been able to get an effective hit, the then Ren Zhongping Navy Major Secretary saw that the situation was not right, and immediately led the fleet to retreat, but he was not stupid to use three small broken ships against the opposite big fleet.

The total tonnage of such a small detachment is more than the total tonnage of all ocean-going armored ships of the Imperial Navy.

In this case, it would be a fool not to run!

In fact, there is already a conflict, and if this follow-up really completely turns around, then it will have a greater negative impact on the unification war.

It's not that they're afraid that they'll send the army and navy to land, if they do, the Imperial Army will laugh to death and swallow them all in one gulp.

What I am afraid of is that the other party will send a fleet to block shipping, and they don't need to do anything else, mainly blocking the mouth of the Jing River and the mouth of the Luo Sea, and most of the empire's coastal shipping will have to stagnate.

There are still railways to transport, but it is not a problem.

In addition, the other side may also turn around and support Gaoqing Prefecture and Ningwu Prefecture, sending them a large number of weapons and ammunition, which will also have a greater negative impression of the unification war of the empire.

As for the rest, it's gone!

Anyway, the empire has no international trade, and the coastal blockade can only block part of the internal sea transportation at best, but there is a railway system, and although the actual impact is, it is far more than the extent to bring the empire to its knees.

But it's not a thing to be so blocked and allowed to be supported by the other side, so since this matter is a misunderstanding, it is better to solve the misunderstanding.

However, looking at the angry look on the faces of the civil and military generals present, Lin Ziran knew that this matter was not easy to handle.

When dealing with external affairs, Daheng people have always been tough to the end, when the Heng Olympic War faced many countries united to fight, even if it was itself to fight until it had internal bleeding, but at that time Daheng was also tough to the end, until it could not fight, and then chose to withdraw the army.

As for the compensation for the land cession demanded by the Olisa Empire, Daheng didn't care about it directly.

The invasion was chosen by the Great Heng people, and the retreat was also chosen by the Great Heng people themselves, and there was basically nothing to do with the Orissa Empire.

Even if it hasn't been completely unified yet, many people in the country are already clamoring to start the Southern Continent strategy again and launch a second invasion of the Orissa Empire......

Now facing a maritime conflict with the Krull Kingdom, and the trigger point is still because the two sides still have differences in territorial waters, I'm afraid it's not so easy to get good.

No, the army and navy generals present had already begun to discuss on the spot how to deal with the threat of the Krull Kingdom.

Duan Hongxiao and Wu Guanlin were already discussing the operational plan for the army and navy to assist in the defense of the coastline and the navy to retreat to the Jinghe and Luo rivers to block the enemy's deep penetration into the inland rivers.

In addition, several admirals were already discussing how to increase the construction of warships and build dozens of armored ships to fight a decisive battle with the navy of the Krull Kingdom.

The army on the other side is also thinking about it, and can form a few troops dedicated to landing operations, and after the navy side kills the navy of the Krull Kingdom, it will launch a landing operation, kill the kingdom island in the east, annihilate the Krull people, and by the way, destroy several other subordinate and puppet kingdoms of the Krull Kingdom.

At that time, the people of Daheng will be able to obtain a large piece of land.

If this situation is seen by people in other countries, it is estimated that they will scold Heng Barbarian for being insane.

It's just a misunderstanding, at most it's just a skirmish, and it has risen to the point of a national decisive battle or even the extermination of an entire race?

Even in Lin Ziran's opinion, the reactions of these generals under his command are too intense, although it is a good thing to be belligerent with the outside world, but they can't be hot-headed!

Anyway, if you want to see the comparison of the sea strength of the two sides, if you want to take out the navy of the Krull Kingdom, it is not ordinary.

So at this time, Lin Ziran thought that it was inevitable for them to recognize the reality, and his own navy was thinking about launching a cross-sea operation to invade other countries all day long with just a few broken ships.

So Lin Ziran spoke: "Now that Krull is too barbarian and deceitful, does the navy have a strategy?" Can you annihilate the incoming enemy? ”

As soon as these words came out, the conference room, which was originally full of indignation, suddenly became deserted, and Duan Hongxiao said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, the strength of the incoming enemy ships is slightly larger, and my imperial navy is afraid that it will not be able to take the initiative to attack, but it can rely on the port batteries to resist it, and at the same time build a new fleet in order to win the battle!" ”

Lin Ziran said: "Oh, I heard that the tonnage of the Krull Kingdom Navy is more than 800,000 tons, how much time does it take for my Imperial Navy to build new warships to win the battle?" ”

Duan Hongxiao said: "It is conservatively estimated that it will take ten years to accumulate the main warships and train officers and soldiers, so that we can expand the fleet and win the battle!" ”

After hearing this, Lin Ziran said: "Since this is the case, then send someone to negotiate with the Krull people first!" ”

"As for fighting, it's not too late to fight when your navy is ready!"

As for now, what to do, why go!

Anyway, as long as his side maintains restraint and does not take the initiative to go to war, it is estimated that the Krull Kingdom will not have a brain pump, and in the absence of huge contradictions, it will have to go to war with the Daheng Empire, which has the largest army in the world, the largest population, the largest local area, rich resources, and a large scale, and barely passable national defense industry system.

They're not stupid!
