Ma Shiying actually read from the book and introduced the intelligence of the Philippines, which made everyone listen to it very excitedly.

The Philippines, which has just been snatched from Spain, is a place of honey and milk, the land of abundance, and the Spaniards are not blessed!

It has a pleasant climate, abundant natural resources, vast forests, excellent fishery resources, and the key is that it has rich mineral resources, including gold, copper, nickel, ferrochrome, manganese, silver and iron, especially gold and copper mines!

"Almost everywhere is mineral, especially Mindanao, where gold and copper deposits are concentrated, and the leader means concentrated development, big development of Mindanao!" Ma Shiying said that he called Yan Changwu a leader, and in fact, people preferred to call him a leader rather than a Westernized "king."

"Guys, the money is not settled!" Yan Changwu said easily!

Everyone was immensely admired and full of confidence.

There is a leader, and there is nothing difficult in the world to defeat everyone.

The leader is wise and powerful!

That's that, Yan Changwu was a map editor before he descended, he traveled all over the world, he was well-informed, he had been to the Philippines, he had been to Mindanao many times.

Mindanao is home to Mount Apo, an active volcano and the highest peak in the Philippine archipelago, which is often rich in mineral resources and has a lot of gold and copper.

The volcanic ash is fertile and suitable for cultivation.

If you can grow food, you don't have to worry about not being able to live, and you can reduce the pressure of survival.

Growing cash crops can make money, and the mining industry promotes a great leap forward in the economy.

At that time, Yan Changwu couldn't understand why such good conditions, Mindanao and even the Philippines were still so poor, and he was wholeheartedly exporting Filipino maids, relying on women to support his family, he didn't understand!

The Spaniards got the Philippines, and there were few people who could not develop it, and Yan Changwu planned to concentrate manpower and immigrate 100,000 people first, so that the Philippines would become a new economic growth point in the southeast!

A large number of people is a good thing, and if you rush to the top, you will soon see results, and the senior officials are glad that the leader's policy has been correct from beginning to end.

The civil officials were very happy, and as long as they found the point of force, everything could be solved.

Southeast Asia has developed to the present, and the gold and silver found have developed, and the gold and silver found in the future will also develop, as long as there are economic expectations!

The economic problem is solved, and it is the turn of military affairs.

First of all, Chen De reported the military situation and told the battle of the Hongmao Fan's invasion.

He focused on his strategy, which was to "exist in the fleet".

"Our decisive battle with the red-haired fan is unrealistic, as long as I have a fleet and threaten them, I can ensure that they will not dare to be presumptuous." Chen De said lightly.

Yan Changwu spoke highly of Chen De's strategy!

The presence of a naval fleet can exert influence in the sea area, and the enemy will have to deploy military forces and even change strategic decisions in order to defend against it.

And in the event of a decisive battle with the enemy, this fleet could be wiped out in naval battles and would no longer be able to influence the enemy's decision-making.

"The existential fleet doctrine is usually used by the weaker side in the struggle for sea supremacy, as a means of weakening the enemy's control over a particular sea area, rather than a means of actively seizing sea supremacy." Yan Changwu said qualitatively.

He said that he came back this time and brought back all the battleships, so there were 65 battleships in Southeast Asia, 18 cruisers of class 5, 90 cruisers of class 6, and he also brought back the latest 10 Indian Ocean I cruisers!

This cruiser was built in Taiwan and can be classified as a five-class sail cruiser with a displacement of 420 tons, three masts, and a total of 32 guns, 20 guns in the single-deck gun deck, including 8 18-pounder guns and 12 12-pounder guns, and 12 6-pounder guns on the open deck.

This class of ship has large tonnage, fast speed, powerful firepower, and good ocean-going performance, which improves the habitation of the crew and is suitable for the broader Indian Ocean!

Its designer is none other than Yan Changwu!

It turned out that Yan Changwu was far-sighted, and he had already considered killing the Indian Ocean on the mainland, and the latest cruise ship was classified, and the senior officials all admired it.

"I looked at your construction list, there are 12 Southeast Asia-class battleships and 22 Kaohsiung-class cruisers, well, after completion, only 2 Southeast Asia-class battleships will be built every year, and we will concentrate on building "Indian Ocean I-class" cruisers! Yan Changwu pointed out the path for the development of the navy.

In the navy, there is no shortage of controversy over the ship-building plan, and some generals, such as Hong Xuguan, believe that it is because of the small number of battleships in the army that the Hongmaofan has come to the door, so in order to deal with the Hongmaofan, the battleships must work as fast as possible.

There are also some generals such as Chen De and others who believe that our army was not defeated in last year's war, although the battle was ugly, but our army expelled the Hongmao Fan fleet and achieved the final victory!

They had foreseen that the fleet would be dispatched to the Indian Ocean, and with the vastness of the Indian Ocean, battleships would be used to protect their ports, fight the enemy's main fleet, and attack fortresses, but if they wanted to chase and maneuver with the enemy's armed merchant ships, they would have to build more cruisers.

The public said that the public is reasonable, the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law is reasonable, the two factions argued, no one could convince anyone, Hong Xuguan was purely afraid of the grass rope for ten years, afraid of the red hair fan coming to the door again, how could he control the fleet as firmly as Chen De, and Chen De was not in his position to let go of himself, thinking that if he really wanted to fight again, he didn't need to be afraid of the red hair fan at all, and he should build more cruisers.

Although Yang Ying'er is in charge of the army, she is a woman, how can she distinguish things, then she has to go to everything, she needs battleships, build! Cruisers are needed, built!

Both sides of the fleet were happy, but the finances were strained, and she had no money to build the palace herself.

As soon as Yan Changwu returned, he ordered the construction of battleships to be stopped and made every effort to build a patrol ship formation, and no one objected, showing his strong control over the army.

"Are you worried that the main fleet of the Red Haired Fan will fight us again? Don't worry! ”

He still gave an explanation, he believed that a battleship has a crew of 500-700 people, and hundreds of battleships will use 50,000 to 60,000 people, with Hongmaofan as the main force, and the military expenditure is huge, mainly shared by the four countries of Hongmaofan, how can it last!

"Dare to say that at least half of the red-haired fan on the other side of the Strait of Malacca has run away!" He said confidently.

Yang Ying'er sat next to Yan Changwu and felt that the atmosphere was extremely active, as soon as her husband came back, the atmosphere of the entire court became more positive and united and forged ahead!

There are a lot of affairs on the day, including reporting to Yan Changwu on the past political, economic, cultural, welfare and other aspects of work, in fact, every year when the southeast monsoon rises, he uses a clipper to send various reports to Nanjing, Yan Changwu is aware of the major events in Southeast Asia, and at the end of each year, the northwest wind sends back his opinions and suggestions by speedboat, and the contact with Southeast Asia is always smooth, plus the long-term policy formulated, even if the transportation is inconvenient, it is by no means laissez-faire!

After all, Yan Changwu is the founding monarch of the southeast country, with great authority, as long as he is there, the general direction of China on the sea will not change!
