"Have you heard, my Royal Navy is about to have a decisive battle with the navy of the hegemonic Liao State!"

"Really...... Has the day finally come! The millions of armies of the two countries in the north have not yet clashed, and the navies are going to fight a decisive battle in advance? ”

"How difficult it is to prosper the country, I hope that General Chen will support the situation of the Pacific War. I heard that now that the Shuzhou has left the port after repair, more warships newly commissioned by the Royal Navy have also left the port one after another, and they will be centered on Zhouhu Island to encircle, chase and intercept in the waters of Namatai and Jialuo respectively. Prevent the Liao, Jurchen, and Goryeo from exporting to Honshu Island. ”

"The situation is critical! The Liao State was too large, and its slavery system also had a natural advantage in terms of mobilization costs. They are by no means as good as me, but they can make up for it in quantity. The latest news, from Liaoguo Laizhou, Jinzhou, Chenzhou, Suzhou, while they are producing at full capacity, they have requisitioned all civilian ships to participate in the refit at any cost, organized nearly 200 warships, and continued to deploy in the waters of Hudao Island, which is a fatal pressure on our Royal Navy! ”

"Yes, it is basically determined, the Battle of Shuhu Island was the center and climax of the Pacific War, almost deciding the life and death of Japan! Once our Royal Navy is defeated and the Liao State fully intervenes, the landing of the Zombie Legion on Japan can no longer be stopped. ”

"Damn, you can't say something nice, the Great Song Royal Navy can't be defeated, and if you can't beat it, you can still run! Their warships are the fastest in the East China Sea! ”

"But it's not. Theoretically, if the ship type is suitable, in a downwind situation with a specific wind force, it is not impossible to have a ship with a greater speed than our navy frigates, and I heard that the craftsmen of the Liao State specially modified it for this. ”

"The pressure on my Royal Navy is very high, and we have to wait for the battleship to enter service. The result of the first naval battle of Izumo Island was beautiful, because the Goryeo people were arrogant and unprepared, and in addition, they only had more than 20 warships equipped with artillery, and the number of artillery was urgent, but now, it was no joke for the Liao State to intervene in a targeted manner. Their guns were of poor quality, but all ships had them. ”

There is no wind and no waves, and the discussion of the folk cannons is not groundless.

In fact, in addition to the time of life and death on land, it is also the time when the pressure on the navy is the greatest. After summarizing the information from all sides, the naval battle of Zhouhu Island has been authorized by the Privy Government and must be fought.

In a hurry, the Great Demon King did not expect the Royal Navy to fully carry the front line of Zhouhu Island, but he must use tactics and speed to form a soil environment to contain the Liao Navy, try to slow down their export to the Japanese islands, delay the speed of Japan's fall, and try to avoid the scale of the Song army's landing operations in the future.

At the same time, the reason why the Great Demon King authorized the Battle of Zhouhu under unfavorable circumstances was to strategically use that place as a reservoir for flood discharge. It is better to delay in that place than to be harassed by the Liao navy in the coastal towns of the Great Song Dynasty.

Even if the Liao State is not dominated by the navy, but where the volume is, if several major coastal towns are harassed by them, it will really feel pain, and it is by no means like an itch like Guangxi.

In addition to authorizing the Royal Navy to participate in the Battle of Zhouhu Island, the Great Demon King sent special envoys to Suzhou, Mingzhou, Haizhou, Dengzhou, and the Daimyo Mansion in Beijing, and injected chicken blood into the five shipyards again, demanding that the production and mobilization of the full-scale naval battle be accelerated and the production mobilization of the all-out naval battle with 12 points of strength to prepare for the decisive battle of the Pacific War.

Among them, the first-generation heavy battleships built by Beijing Shipyard and Haizhou Shipyard can be slowed down, but Cao Ji and Ye Wushuang's shipyards still receive frigate orders, and these orders need to be produced as soon as possible.

About corvettes.

With the current manufacturing volume and design strength of the two of them, in fact, their respective shipyards have their own plans, because they are latecomers and have naval data for reference, their plans are even better than those of state-owned shipyards. It's not a technology, it's a late-mover advantage.

However, it was not approved by the Department of Industry. The rules of the big devil, the scheme and technology are not as new as possible, the new scheme will inevitably bring delays in production, in the old version of the scheme can be regarded as stable and grass-tolerant now, the process is fixed, you can do rapid assembly line operations, and you can also seconded technicians from the old state-owned enterprises to provide support, so as to burst production capacity.

Therefore, Ye Wushuang and Cao Ji's new version of the frigate scheme was only left as a technical reserve, but did not receive orders. The Great Demon King only placed orders for a few frigates in each factory, and asked them to take them out in batches as soon as possible.

And these warships were built by them with their own loans.

This made the two big profiteers very helpless. But even if you don't see it as a political task, you have to do it. Because even if it is a regular business operation, they have many examples of doing this, and they can't take advantage of the fire to rob at a critical moment just because the country's money is easy to make.

So in this arms negotiation, Empress Cao took the lead and specially called her younger brother to the harem to slap her ears a few times, stipulating that he had to agree, and the little uncle compromised.

Since the little uncle has betrayed the "businessman's position", Ye Wushuang only has to follow up, otherwise if she doesn't follow up, it will be equivalent to being eaten by Cao Ji all the naval armament cake, which means that the Ye family is out of the game and can no longer catch up with Cao Ji in the shipbuilding industry.

Afterwards, Cao Ji went to the center to ask for a meeting with the big demon king and complained, "Are you really enough for this pit goods, after you pit the coal yard group to death, as if you have a benefit, or has you sold fifty percent of the shares of the coal yard unknowingly"?

The Great Demon King shook his head slightly: "The equity is still there, and it has not been pledged or changed." But as you wish, I intend to give up these shares and donate them to the Third Division as state-owned shares. ”

At that time, Cao Ji couldn't help but squirt out a sip of tea, got up excitedly and said: "There is no problem for you to give up your equity, but who is not good for me?" ”

The Great Demon King smiled and said, "You can wait for it." Are you my son or my friend? I'm full for you? ”

"As long as you give it, or transfer it to me at a low price, I have no problem calling you godfather." That's what Cao Ji replied at that time.

Of course, this is just a joke, and if she does this, she will definitely be killed by her sister checking the water meter.

Xiao Cao also understands that the Great Demon King is not generous, and his pursuit has long been out of this, otherwise he would not have given up the right to operate back then. Regarding money, in terms of the life of the big devil, in fact, the salary of a mid-level technician in a large private company is enough for the big devil's expenses.

What's more, the big demon king basically won't have a time when he needs to spend money, and the big devil's salary will not be collected by the household department for ten years. His family of four basically gnawed on the old and ate Wang Anshi's. As a top politician in such a situation, for his reputation and political needs, Cao Ji also feels that he is no longer suitable to have such a net worth.

Accumulating such a net worth is just that he enjoys the process, not that he needs the money. For example, when playing cards together, even if the bet is only a penny, the big demon king wants to get a straight flush in frenzy.

"I understand your intentions, but I think that after doing this, you will be smoked to death by your mother, and you can't keep it for your son Wang Xiaobai?" At that time, Cao Ji persuaded so.

The Great Demon King shook his head slightly and said, "There will definitely be something left for Wang Xiaobai, but he doesn't need so much money, it's for his good." As my son, he doesn't have my fortitude and means, and he doesn't have as thick political armor as me, so he will continue to hold a large amount of equity in the country's strategic lifeline industry in the future as a stupid young man, and something will happen. Rengui has self-knowledge, how much ability can match how high he is, if he were me, I would leave these shares to her, but he is not. He owns the equity of these strategic lifelines, which is equivalent to a three-year-old child ascending the throne as emperor, and there are many examples of what will happen in history."

Cao Ji had no choice but to endorse his theory.

And Cao Ji is also thinking about himself. At that time, when I heard these words, I inevitably felt a little desolate, but the Great Demon King never made ineffective deployments, and these really had these hidden dangers.

After recalling the Great Demon King's painstaking efforts for a long time, Cao Ji also had a premonition that the problem was serious: according to the Great Demon King's free and easy attitude, he would inevitably return to Zhao Zongshi at some point, and in terms of Zhao Zongshi's bullying by Cao Ji when he was young, he didn't know if his queen sister could live to the end of the day?

So Cao Ji really understood the rhythm of the Great Demon King.

In this regard, Cao Ji also endured the pain of love, followed the footsteps of the big demon king, and donated 10 million yuan to the three divisions of the imperial court at the moment of national disaster with the equity situation of the coal yard. In addition to pleasing the commander-in-chief of the national war, the Great Demon King, in exchange for his future care, this is also equivalent to apologizing to Zhao Zongshi.

Cao Ji knew very well that the cost and effect of apologizing when Zhao Zongshi was unpowerful and apologizing after he gained power were completely different.

The Great Demon King has used his own actions to name "people are valuable and self-aware", this is his old friend who is changing the law, if he doesn't understand it again, there will be a change in the political situation in the future, and something will happen.

So far, Cao Ji is really convinced, and he feels that the cost of 10 million is worth it. I didn't say it verbally, but this was the first time Cao Ji was grateful to the Great Demon King from the bottom of his heart, and felt that he really took on the word "righteous qiyan".

These are the things that happened when Da Song was facing difficulties, and they were not known to other people.

In the first three rows of circles, Zhao Zongshi felt very shy about this, admired the mind of the Great Demon King, and felt relieved at the same time. Because the staff said to Zhao Zongshi in private: "Your Highness is carefree, such a free and easy Great Demon King, he is tantamount to annocating: He will return to you at the appropriate time." ”

In addition to the approval from the queen and the prince, Wu Qiong's mother finally cried and fainted in the toilet. It was a big loser she had never seen before.

But it was highly praised by Wang Anshi and Zhao Ji (Zhao Zongshi's son), and they also admitted that the Great Demon King was inappropriate on some issues, but no matter what, what the Great Demon King did to the Great Song was enough.

Yes, it is not surprising that Wang Yan is the minister and prince of the country who temporarily centralizes power, so in the case that Zhao Xuan already admires Wang Anshi, the prince Zhao Zongshi personally came to the door to visit the thatched house and said that Wang Anshi was moved, and let Zhao Yan worship Wang Anshi as a teacher and accept edification.

Zhao Zongshi has two purposes in this way, the first is of course to please the Wang family. Don't look at the big demon king and Wang Anshi, sometimes there are big differences, but after all, they are father and son.

In addition, Wang Anshi is indeed a rare model of learning and behavior in this era, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a champion. As a father, there is no one who does not want to hire such a teacher for his son.

History has its own trajectory, and the big demon king is powerless to complain about these things. The encounter between his eldest king and the next emperor Zhao Ji finally began. In the near future, Wang Anshi's era will inevitably come. The Great Demon King didn't want to stop such a process, and he couldn't.

Because to stop something right, you have to do the "wrong thing." The Great Demon King boasted that except for a few flaws when he was young and frivolous, he fought tens of thousands of miles for the Great Song Dynasty in this life, and countless battles were all battles of loyalty. In the end, I don't want to go against my original intention.

"Let him go, my service to the Great Song will be completed soon."

Xu Le has often heard the Great Demon King talk to himself in the dead of night recently, so he plans to record the words and deeds of the Great Demon King, and write a memoir to reshape the image of the great man in the future.

Because Xu Le has a hunch, he will encounter a lot of criticism and incomprehension in the future.

Even the ones who take the lead in denying the big demon king may be Wang Anshi and Lu Huiqing and the like, this is politics.

At this point, Xu Le couldn't help but feel that it was really a stupid young man who was much happier, and the Great Demon King deliberately explained that he would not be in the center in the future, and he must not talk about Lu Huiqing's affairs, as if the Great Demon King had seen the political situation twenty years later, that was his protection of the stupid young man.

Xu Le was very moved by this. The worship of the Great Demon King has reached its peak. Now Xu Le doesn't understand strategy, but he has seen the dawn of the Great Song Dynasty in this world war, because Xu Le knows that there are too many people who worship the Great Demon King like himself, and there are all over the country, and there is basically nothing that cannot be done with the reputation of the Great Demon King, this is cohesion, and with this cohesion, you will not lose the war......
