As a prime minister, in fact, more often than not, he is not a macro strategic command, and there is no rhythm that determines the fate of the world with a stroke of a pen.

It's more about the trivial matters of firewood, rice, oil and salt, which are similar to the responsibilities of Erya's mother. Now the Great Demon King has become the nurse of the Great Song Dynasty.

Now a newspaper from a department of the Ministry of War is on the table of the Great Demon King, saying that the stock of gunpowder has been reduced to the warning line, which is quite insufficient.

This is due to the fact that the production of the latest generation of gunpowder is all in the two gunpowder factories of the state-owned enterprises of the Department of Industry. At first, it was one of Xu Langshan's workshops, which was later spun off and developed, and later expanded the gunpowder branch in Beijing.

However, it was subsequently shut down, and the production capacity of gunpowder was not continued to be invested.

At the earliest, the Great Demon King had plans to set up a gunpowder factory in Tokyo, but at that time, the Kaifeng Prefecture did not approve the land, saying that there was already an external production capacity, and this kind of industry with safety accidents occurred from time to time, so it was not recommended to set up in Gyeonggi, which is a population secret.

This reason is qualified, the Great Demon King was unhappy at that time, but it can't be said that they are unreasonable. And the trouble is that the approval of gunpowder has always been in the Ministry of War, not in the Department of Industry.

As we all know, at that time, because of the "case of the Department of Industry suspected of stealing secrets from the Ministry of War", the two departments had each other's brains.

Especially during the period when the Great Demon King was there, the Industrial Department and the Ministry of War were almost overwhelming. As an old department, the Ministry of War looked down on the industrial department of enterprises and institutions, and the industrial department, as the department with the most money except for the three divisions at that time, also looked down on those old yamen, thinking that they were all a group of poor ghosts.

As a result, in the tripartite tug-of-war involving the two central departments and a deputy state-level local yamen Kaifeng Prefecture, the expansion of gunpowder production finally came to fruition.

Now that the world war has begun, gunpowder is being asked everywhere.

In order to cooperate with the reorganization of dozens of new armies in the Gyeonggi area, there was a large demand for training, so the Sanya filled a table with applications for the gunpowder workshop of the military department, so that every bureaucrat of the military department could sit behind his desk every day with a black line.

In addition to the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army, the largest number of gunpowder applications also came from Haeju.

Haizhou is the latest heavy ship production capacity, and there is news that their five new-generation frigates are about to enter service, and soon one will start sea trials.

At the same time, Chen Ergou's naval flagship has been completely evacuated from the Bohai Sea region, and because the range is not enough, it is just a lone ship, and it is useless to continue to deploy.

The navy's will to fight is very strong under the leadership of Chen Ergou, in fact, they don't want to retreat. But in desperation, in order to retain the last fire of the navy, the Great Demon King ordered the last warship to withdraw to the coastal defense of Haizhou Port. In addition to Cao Qing leading the guards to defend on land, there must also be vigilance at sea, otherwise another Dengzhou Port incident may only hurt the Great Song Dynasty, but Little Japan will definitely take the pill.

If the Song navy is not formed, it will not be able to block Korean seafood, so the Korean ships will continue to export to Japan until they can put in forces that can cut off Japan's immunity on Honshu Island.

This is very helpless, to say that the size of the ethnic group is not much different between Goryeo and Japan during this period, the size of Goryeo's population of 5 million, Japan is about 4 million. But because of this era, Japan was afraid of the Goryeo and Jurchens, which is a typical weak thinking. The Koreans are the horses of the Liao State, and they have all-round guidance and support from the hegemon in terms of thinking, military quality, military equipment, etc.

Therefore, if you fight a wave, it must be that the attacking Koreans have an overwhelming advantage. If this trend is not resisted and the entire island of Japan falls, there will indeed be strong resistance at the beginning, but if it is ruthless to a certain point, although there are no friends and no enemies, then Japan will also fall spiritually.

If this old Xiao's overall strategy had Zhuo Luolan as an advisor, the speed of Japan's all-round fall would be greatly accelerated.

Therefore, Japan is now the maritime lifeline of the Great Song Dynasty, and if Lao Xiao's strategy is achieved and Japan is really dead, then the situation of the Song army's landing operations in the future will be too bad, and the price paid will be more than ten times greater.

In order to cut off the export of Goryeo to Japan like an antibiotic, the established Great Song Navy must be formed as quickly as possible to block the follow-up investment of germs. In this way, the Great Song Dynasty did not need to land for operations, as long as the complications of Japan were controlled, they were likely to be able to bury the Jurchens and Goryeo who had landed through their own immunity.

Therefore, this strategic link for Lao Xiao, the last knight in the East China Sea, Chen Ergou, must quickly return to Haizhou. In addition to being a security vigilance, he will have a more important task: to direct the sea trials of the new version of the frigate that will be put into service. At the same time as the sea trial, the new army that the Great Demon King was dispatched to Haizhou was transferred to the navy.

This is the Great Demon King's plan at sea.

The next military formation to graduate and leave the Beijing Division was the navy. It will drive to Haizhou as soon as possible, as for how quickly their naval business adapts, the big demon king doesn't care, that is Chen Ergou's responsibility.

General Chen's warships have been fighting at sea for more than a year, and all the situations that should have happened have been dealt with, and they have accumulated the strongest and most advanced naval experience on the earth, so his poor shipload of more than 200 soldiers is now the most valuable resource of the Great Song Dynasty, the last spark of the Deep Blue Navy, and the crystallization accumulated with the support of the Great Demon King himself.

The Great Demon King is quite frustrating to inspire people, as long as he doesn't talk about money, he never hesitates to issue awards. Some time ago, he personally issued a "Military Flag Award" to all the officers and men of the No. 1 Navy ship, and named them "the last knights of the East China Sea and the Royal Navy Heroes." And the Great Demon King promised that the ceremony of the commissioning of the new generation of warships and the retirement of the gasoline version of the warship would go to Haizhou to watch the ceremony in person.

Hearing this news caused the eyes of all the officers and men of the Haizhou Shipyard and the Navy to light up, and they saluted in the direction of Tokyo, which was a real occurrence.

The Great Demon King now has such influence and prestige, and this is the role of MLM. In this process, Chen Ergou, one of the leaders of the pyramid scheme, played a pivotal role.

The reason why Chen Ergou trusts the Great Demon King so much stems from the redemption of the Great Demon King during the Funing County period for his runaway boy, and this kind of encounter is irreplaceable. What Chen Ergou has never understood is that they all say that the Great Demon King is hateful, in fact, Chen Ergou found that the Great Demon King's conscience is no less than others, he just likes to hide it.

It's far away.

In addition to the large amount of gunpowder needed by the navy, hundreds of thousands of firearms army will be deployed in batches, so gunpowder has become the most critical strategic material. The gap is huge.

And the sensitivity and danger of this strategic material is determined, including Wang Yan does not support the production of private enterprises, and does not want to open the authorization to Cao Ji and Ye Wushuang if there is a choice.

In fact, it's not that they're afraid of treason, but that these guys are used to making money, and the urine nature of capital determines that their pursuit of craftsmanship is limited. All of their products are based on this idea. In addition to causing operational problems, substandard craftsmanship will also bring very bad safety accidents and civil injuries in the production process.

"These damn bureaucrats, only now report this to me?" Faced with this new problem, Wang Yan began to scold.

The personal secretary is Xu Le, this little fresh meat also had an encounter with Wang Yan, a little cute, Wang Yan was also his personal secretary when he was reforming in Sinong Temple. Later, Lao Han Jiang's investigation team almost arrested half of the people in Sinong Temple, but this kid was not found to be a problem, which can be regarded as a bone surprise, so now he is transferred to the position of privy secretary.

"Xianggong, they can't be blamed for this. The subordinate remembers that several major departments were designed to pull this back then, even if it was you, you didn't do it back then, and even you couldn't remember it afterwards, so you ......"

Xu Le stopped when he said this, and he was speechless to himself. Only then did he realize that this statement seemed to offend the Great Demon King, so he looked embarrassed.

The Great Demon King also blushed a little, he really forgot about this matter and didn't think to pay attention to it, but after thinking about it, he slapped the table again and said, "It's normal that I can't think of it." But if these bureaucrats have forgotten to remind me that they will give me the problem when the matter is about to come, then what do they want them to do! ”

Xu Le breathed a sigh of relief, although the Great Demon King insisted on not admitting his mistake, fortunately, he didn't anger me Xu Le.

Immediately afterwards, the Great Demon King said: "Tell me, who should I find to scold this matter!" ”

Xu Le fainted, and the emotional demon king scolded for a long time, as for who he should scold, he didn't know?

Da Yan looked at Xu Le with ill intentions and said, "Why do you want a corpse vegetarian meal?" I don't pretend to know what I don't understand, isn't that what you're here to tell me? Hurry up, find me the person responsible, otherwise I will drive you out of Beijing and send you to the front line to be the magistrate. ”

"Okay." Xu Le felt that it was actually not bad to go to the front line to command, but after saying it, he covered his mouth again, feeling that he had said something wrong, so he said again: "No, the lower official said that he would invite someone to drink tea." ”
