Before he came, he received an order to report to the commander of the fleet on time, but he didn't say anything on the order, and he himself was confused, but now Chen De's words made him feel extremely excited.

Circumnavigating the world!

Become one of the first Chinese to complete the circumnavigation of the world!

This is the highest honor!

With the exchanges between the East and the West, the senior officers of the Southeast Navy generally gained insight and knew that the first team in the world to complete the round-the-world voyage was the team of the Spaniard Magellan, and then many red-haired fans also traveled all over the world.

First whites, now it's our turn to make a name for ourselves!

In an instant, a stream of blood surged into his heart, and Hong Xiguan said incoherently: "Resolutely complete the task!" ”

Seeing his excited appearance, Chen De said calmly: "Come, drink tea!" ”

Drinking tea, Hong Xiguan calmed down and listened to Chen De talk about the origin of the matter: "We are attacking Southeast Asia, and the Indian Ocean will be ours sooner or later, our army is unstoppable, and our strength is incomparably strong!" ”

The two people in the room nodded frequently, they were both active participants in the Chinese foreign wars, and they would not be annoying when they talked about their achievements!

Chen De even more numbly boasted: "We are under the leadership of the leader, from one victory to another, the leader is the son of God, when his hand reaches out to the ocean, the whole ocean trembles under his power, the waves are magnificent, the waves are rolling!" ”

All the people looked in agreement, and they followed the leader, and saw that he grew up, from Taiwan, which had a population of only 3,000 at the beginning, and was basically a desert island, to today, it occupies Taiwan and the vast Southeast Asia, with a population of 5 million.

Chen De took a sip of green tea and continued: "He instructed that what Hongmaofan can do, we can also do, it's time to sail around the world, for you, it is to leave a name in history, for my southeast province, that will greatly encourage morale, show that we Chinese are by no means inferior to Hongmaofan, will make us rejoice, we will be more confident!" ”

He gushed about the benefits of circumnavigating the globe, and Gan Hui pulled out a map of the world, where the basic road map was already drawn.

From the city of the rising sun, through the Strait of Malacca, sail straight to Sri Lanka, and arrive in Madras, India, to visit the British.

Follow the continent of Asan to visit the Mughal Empire, then enter the Red Sea and go straight to Egypt to visit the Ottoman Empire.

To re-emerge from the Red Sea is to travel non-stop, along the east coast of Africa, past the Cape of Good Hope, and then along the west coast of Africa, to Europa.

After visiting the countries of the Red Hairy Fan, he rested in the Netherlands and set off again, first along the west coast of Africa, then across the Atlantic Ocean to South America.

Sail along the east coast of South America, cross Cape Horn, or sail along the west coast of South America to Mexico, take the Spanish silver route, cross the Pacific Ocean, and reach Luzon!

When you arrive in Luzon, you're basically home!

"Your voyage around the world is not only to circle the earth, but also to visit many countries and regions, to be honest, this route is not scientific!" Gan Hui said.

"It's both an honor and a challenge!" Chen De already had a premonition that this trip would not be easy: "The unpredictable routes, the pirates and the sinister Hongmaofan, as well as the rulers of various countries, plus the condition of the ships, supplies, etc., you can only overcome all the difficulties on your own, and not lose the reputation of my southeast province!" ”

Hong Xiguan's face quickly became serious, and he said firmly: "Guarantee to complete the task!" ”

Chen De said: "I believe that you will also be able to complete the task!" ”

Gan Hui asks an important question: "Who are you going to partner with?" ”

And Hong Xiguan asked rhetorically: "How many boats are you going to give me?" ”

"Three of a kind!" Gan Hui raised three fingers and said: "The third is an auspicious number, and it is difficult to control it if there are more." ”

Hong Xiguan said very smartly: "Two Kaohsiung-class cruisers, and one Yaksha-class supply ship? ”

"Exactly!" Gan Hui gave him a thumbs up.

Ocean voyages, is to visit, not to fight, it is impossible to send battleships, Kaohsiung-class cruisers have speed, firepower, Yaksha-class supply ships belong to the category of fifth-class cruisers, and it is more suitable for supply.

"Then I'm going to ......" Hong Xiguan thought for a while, and immediately said: "Yan Zhang and Hao Sizhong, plus Kaustit is the chief of staff. ”

Chen De said with a smile on his face: "Clever choice! ”

Yan Chang and Hao Sizhong were both members of the envoy group that had previously visited the Spaniards in Luzon for the first time together with Hong Xiguan, when Hong Xiguan was the chief envoy and Yan Chang and Hao Sizhong were the deputy envoys, and now they are partners again.

Yan Zhang's artillery skills are good, he dares to fight, and he is a member of the Yan family, so let him go out to reassure the leader.

Hao Sizhong is a calm person, his style is steady, he has rich experience, he has worked in a cruiser, a supply ship, and a staff officer in the general staff, and now he is the captain of a battleship, and he has a high prestige in the army, and he is known to both commanders.

As for Kostet, who was now the captain of the new first class battleship, the main thing was that he had a lot of seafaring experience and had traveled to many places, so he could draw on his experience.

"Don't say anything, you pick the ship, you pick the people, we give you a military order, it's June, you complete all the preparations within a month, set sail in early July, and then the leader will march for you!" Chen De did not waste time at all, immediately took the order book and drafted the order on it.

The brush is waved and completed in a moment, after which he signs and seals.

Then it was Gan Hui who also took out his seal, signed it, and stamped it.

Hong Xiguan held the order in both hands, but appointed him as the commander-in-chief of the round-the-world voyage, the commander of the fleet visiting foreign countries and the envoy of the southeastern province, Yan Chang and Hao Sizhong as the deputy envoys, and Kaustit as the chief of staff of the fleet, to carry out the round-the-world voyage.

In addition to the signatures and seals of Chen Gan and the two below, there are already Yan Changwu's signatures and seals!

……

When he left the commander's office and went downstairs, Hong Xiguan's steps were brisk, as if he had stepped on a spring!

However, after leaving the headquarters, his mood calmed down completely, and let the taxi carriage sail to the Rising Japanese Harbor, and he was ready to choose a suitable cruiser, which was not difficult, after all, he had also worked on the cruiser.

He was very busy, looking for battleships and selecting crews to help in the battle.

In about a week, Yan Zhang, Hao Sizhong, and Kaustit arrived one after another, and everyone got together and was very excited!

If this important task can be successfully completed, then it will be famous in military history and remembered forever!

As a result, these four members formed an extremely firm group, agreeing to overcome all difficulties and work hard to complete the task!

At the same time, three warships were also found, namely Kaohsiung No. 72 and No. 78, plus Yaksha No. 12, and the personnel were also selected, and they were all experienced officers and soldiers in various key positions, and there were backups.

Immediately cruising and training for a week, they are all veterans, and after a week of running-in, they are very proficient in controlling the battleship.

Thanks to the standardization of equipment in the Southeast Province, the warships of the same class are used, and the officers and men have no problem using them.

Then the three battleships are docked for a week, and the best repairmen are responsible for removing marine life from the hull, maintaining and maintaining all parts of the hull and cannons, OK!

It took three days to load the arms and cargo, and the Yaksha-class supply ships mainly transported supplies, as well as prepared high-quality spices and tea, and transported them to Europe for sale, maybe the military expenses for this voyage would be returned!

Therefore, the profits of ocean trade are indeed high.

Hong Xiguan and the others completed the preparations before the voyage in a whirlwind style, and everything is ready, just wait for the order!
