Jiao Long showed a bitter face: "Brother Xiao, you can be content, I dare to guarantee that if we are still content with General Mao and continue to negotiate with General Mao, we will definitely get nothing." ”

Se Qingfeng hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Forget it, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat, and something is better than nothing." Let's find a place to discuss how these fifteen warships should be distributed! ”

Se Qingfeng's proposal was approved by many pirate leaders, and things had come to this point, and they were still concerned about the distribution of fifteen warships.

After the pirates left, only the generals of the Dongjiang Army were left in the council hall, and Cheng Zuo bowed his hand to Mao Wenlong and said: "Chief soldier, if we treat those pirates like this, will they be unconvinced?" ”

Mao Wenlong snorted coldly: "If you are not convinced, they also have to swallow it in their stomachs." Whoever dares to come out and shout will not be spared! ”

The matter of co-opting pirates has come sooner, and this is a good opportunity. Mao Wenlong has no reason to miss it at all, and now he is buying people's hearts by means of mitigation, and he has not directly solved it by force, which can be regarded as very polite to them.

Hearing Mao Wenlong's resolute tone, Cheng Zuo also knew that he didn't need to say more, so he closed his mouth and didn't say more.

Mao Wenlong hesitated for a moment and said: "This battle with the Japanese has exposed the serious shortcomings of our navy. Lihui, what do you think about this? ”

In this battle, the whole process was under the supervision of Mao Wenlong, and the tactics and ships of the Japanese were a cut above the Dongjiang Army. If it weren't for the hot air balloon of the Dongjiang Army that gave the Japanese Kou an unexpected fatal blow, it was really uncertain who would win and who would lose in this war?

If a problem is discovered, it must be solved as soon as possible, which has always been Mao Wenlong's style of doing things. Therefore, he did not hesitate to point directly at the three Lihui brothers, after all, the three of them are the commanders of the navy.

A trace of embarrassment appeared on the face of the named Lihui, as the marshal of the navy, the battle with the Japanese exposed many deficiencies of his subordinates. He knew all this, and he secretly made up his mind that he would inevitably step up his efforts to correct it in the future, but he didn't expect Mao Wenlong to ask so soon.

After thinking for a long time, Li Hui hesitated and said: "Chief soldier, the last general has discovered many deficiencies in the navy, but now he can't give the chief soldier the answer to correct it, please forgive me." ”

Mao Wenlong sighed lightly and said: "It's okay, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and in the next month, you should hurry up and practice." If nothing else, the widows will not rest on their laurels, and we must be ready to deal with them at all times. ”

Lihui didn't dare to say more, and immediately said yes. Instead, Licheng stood up: "Chief soldier, since the Japanese still dare to come, then we might as well take advantage of the victory and attack directly to the southern seas, wouldn't it be much easier." ”

Mao Wenlong's sharp eyes stared at Licheng's face, and he snorted viciously: "Nonsense, you still don't understand, we can win this time, is it completely stained with hot air balloon light?" Without hot air balloons, do you think our current naval strength alone will be able to fight against the Japanese invaders? ”

was questioned by Mao Wenlong for two questions in a row, and Licheng did not dare to be presumptuous. As a naval general, how powerful the wolf is, he naturally knows very well, just to show it, but he didn't expect to slap the horse's leg but not get Mao Wenlong's praise, even if he didn't get Mao Wenlong's praise, he had to bury it.

Lihui turned around abruptly and looked at Licheng with sharp eyes, making him very embarrassed. At this time, Mao Wenlong spoke again: "Not only can we not attack the Japanese invaders, but we must also improve the actual combat capability of the navy as soon as possible." I can assure you that if the pirates come to provoke again, they will have already thought of a way to deal with the hot air balloons. Without the hot air balloon, we can only compete with the Japanese Koukou, do you understand? ”

"Understood, Commander!" All the generals, including Cheng Zuo, immediately stood up and responded in unison.

Mao Wenlong nodded with satisfaction and continued: "It's good to understand, then immediately pay attention to training the navy, and put aside other things for the time being, and retreat!" ”

"Subordinates retire!" After the generals retired, they left one after another.

In the hall, soon only Chengzuo, Haoda and Mao Wenlong were left.

A trace of worry appeared on Cheng Zuo's face, and he hesitated to say, "Chief soldier, why don't we send a hot air balloon to the south to spy on the movements of the Japanese invaders." If something goes wrong early, we can be ready to deal with it at any time. ”

Mao Wenlong said in a condensed voice: "No need, opportunistic things are okay occasionally, if you use this method every time, one day the Dongjiang Army will fall into a disadvantage." Only when one's own strength is improved can one face any challenge safely. The navy is now small and large, unlike at the beginning, it has to be protected everywhere, and let them grow and experience it to make progress. ”

After hearing this, Cheng Zuo nodded slightly: "What the chief soldier said is extremely true, only soldiers who have experienced life and death are good soldiers, and the navy may have to find some small targets for them to practice." ”

Mao Wenlong said with a smile: "This matter will be handed over to you, you have a long time to lead the army, and the growth of the army is also obvious to all." ”

Cheng Zuo didn't shirk it, he agreed directly. The training methods at sea may be different from those of the army on land, but the law is not far from its roots, and Chengzuo believes that he can still give Lihui a lot of advice.

After Chengzuo left, Mao Wenlong immediately ordered Haoda to prepare to leave for Xi'an. Mao Wenlong, on Anton Wei's side, estimated that the Japanese would not dare to come again in a short time, and the 50,000 army was now stationed in Nanjing, and they could support them at any time if there was any trouble. It can be said that Anton Wei will be safe now, so there is no need to pay too much attention. However, Sichuan is still in chaos, and he must rush back to solve it as soon as possible.

King Fu is obviously a dou who can't be helped, and Mao Wenlong has completely lost patience with King Fu at the moment. Countless supplies were sent over, and for King Fu, Mao Wenlong almost responded to his request. But in the end, even those old Li Zicheng's old departments could not be solved, but were forced to hurry. So far, Mao Wenlong has to go out in person, and by the way, Sichuan has also been calmed down.

After dealing with Anton Wei's affairs, Mao Wenlong set off with Haoda the next day, in order to stay in Anton Wei in order to prevent accidents, Mao Wenlong did not take any of them. Escorted by a dozen personal guards, they rode on the road.

What Mao Wenlong never expected was that as soon as he left on the front foot, the pirates behind him fought because of the uneven distribution of warships.
