Throughout the day, Ye Tong and Mrs. Qin, accompanied by Zhou Yu, visited various warships to learn about the working and living conditions of the soldiers. Although he was very tired, Ye Tong was very happy in his heart.

Zhou Yu and Ye Tong sat opposite each other, Ye Tong took a small sip of the teacup, tasted it slowly, put down the teacup and asked, "Gong Jin, has the investigation of the matter of the Rest Empire been clear?" ”

After the first battle with the Anxib Imperial Navy, Zhou Yu sent people to Anxito investigate it in all directions. It's just that I didn't expect that not long ago, there would be another decisive battle with the Rest Imperial Navy.

"General, I don't know much, after all, we didn't go ashore, we just saw some phenomena from the surface."

"Tell me about it."

"The Sabbatical Empire was very strong, and it was often at war with the Roman Empire next to it. Recently, the Rest Empire has begun to advance eastward, preparing to take down the body poison. ”

Oh!

"What else?"

"General, once the Rest Empire takes down the body poison, it may have a huge impact on the empire's living environment, after all, the body poison itself is connected to the western region that the empire wants to conquer. Therefore, I feel that we should strengthen the attack on the body poison empire and bring it into the imperial rule. ”

Ye Tong didn't speak, and understood what Zhou Yu meant in his heart. It's just that Zhou Yu didn't think about it, the body poison itself has no combat effectiveness, the problem is that the body poison has a huge population advantage.

"Gong Jin, what's the level of science and technology in Anxi?"

"General, Sabbath seems to have entered the age of the steam engine, but it is not like that. According to the investigation, the steam engine was imported from the Empire and was not produced by itself.

However, Anxi has certain advantages in smelting technology. Especially in that era of cold weapons, the saber produced was called a Damascus knife, which was very good.

From that point of view, the smelting technology of the Sabbath Empire should be very high. ”

Damascus knives, which were all over the Internet in later generations, are famous knives.

And Ai! And Ai!

Could it be that there is a golden finger in Jiai?

"Rest in peace about the development of other industries?"

Hehe!

"General, what kind of industry does rest in peace, it is still mainly agriculture. Industry is largely non-existent, and business practices are not very good.

Like the Empire, industry and commerce have developed very rapidly and have become the backbone of the Empire. Zhou Yu continued: "However, Anxi has a large population, and it is also a large country with a large population.

Every year in the war with Rome, there were losses and victories, and over the years, there was no loss or victory. ”

Being able to fight against the mighty Roman Empire without losing or winning is itself a symbol of strength. At this time, the Roman Empire should be regarded as the most powerful period.

"Gong Jin, do you mean to say that the Rest Empire is a very aggressive country with great territorial claims?"

"Yes, Your Excellency. It is true that Anxib is a very aggressive country, often resorting to military conquest of neighboring countries. Many of the surrounding countries had to pay taxes to the Empire every year. ”

Shame!

Is that colonization?

"And what about the situation of the Empire?"

"I don't know much about the situation in the Empire, and those situations are all obtained through interrogation after the capture of the rest soldiers. However, listening to the soldiers of the Rest Empire, the development of the Empire was very fast.

In recent years, due to the monopoly of the steam engine, the Egyptian empire has made a lot of money and made special profits. Many neighboring countries traded goods with the Egyptian Empire, and some industrial products were also abundant. ”

Alas!

Ye Tong sighed, still not understanding the specific situation.

"Gong Jin, then what do you think we should go to to trade this time?"

Zhou Yu stood up, pointed to a place and said: "Trading here, this area is very chaotic, there are all ethnic groups, and it is at war all year round. We don't need to trade with the empires of Egypt, Anxi, Rome, etc., just build a city there and trade there. ”

Where Ye Tong saw Zhou Yu's finger, there was the bottom of the Persian Gulf. It is also an oil-rich area, so it is good to be able to occupy it.

Since there is a golden finger in Egypt, why not occupy the Persian Gulf? Fools know that the Persian Gulf is a paradise for oil. As long as the Persian Gulf is occupied, it means the highest point.

Could it be that what kind of golden finger does not know the evolution of history?

Hehe!

"Gong Jin, I'm afraid it's not easy to occupy that place! We have to send soldiers and horses to guard it, and we need a certain number of soldiers and horses. ”

"General, don't think so low about the military strength of the empire, the empire has entered the era of hot weapons, and the weapons in the hands of soldiers are all rifles.

And the soldiers of the empires such as Egypt, Anxi, and Rome had most of them sabers, spears, and arquebuses in their hands. How can it be an opponent of a level, only 10,000 soldiers and horses need to be dispatched, which is enough to deal with it freely. ”

Ye Tong didn't dare to believe Zhou Yu's words, after all, there were many questions that he hadn't figured out.

"Gongjin, are there any other rising countries?"

"Yes! There were several countries next to the Roman Empire that were doing well, especially Niu Niu, which hung alone overseas and occupied three islands. It's just that it has not entered the era of steam engines, and it can only be regarded as an agricultural production country. ”

Cow Cow!

The rise of Niu Niu is really unexpected. It seems that history has changed too much, and it has not developed according to the normal process, which can be regarded as an advance of the historical process.

"By the way, Gong Jin, how did the Southern Continent take over?"

Hehe!

"General, that 'our Southern Continent' is really big! After the Marines took over, people had already gone from the Central Plains to the Southern Continent and began to mine minerals and grow grain there. However, the traffic situation is very bad, and the southern continent is not easy to develop without changing the traffic problem. ”

For the Southern Continent, Ye Tong knew in his heart, isn't it the place where kangaroos are produced?

"Gong Jin, it seems that General Ben remembers that there are two relatively large islands next to the South Continent!"

"Yes! The area is very large, although it is not as large as the southern continent, but it is also a large island. The Marines not only placed a stone monument on it, but also built some simple defenses on it.

Now, it's not just the islands in our sea that have taken over, but also the islands in the Indian Ocean next to it. I really don't understand, why do you want so many islands? ”

Hehe!

"Gong Jin, have you heard of it, conquering the ocean is conquering the world! To occupy the ocean is to occupy the world! The Empire does not have the ability to conquer the global oceans, but it can control some key positions first. ”

"General, the area under the jurisdiction of the South China Sea fleet is too large, so why don't you add some warships."

Shame!

The South China Sea fleet has nearly 300 warships, and it's about growth, just kidding!

"This matter can't be done for the time being, you also know that the empire's financial resources are limited, and the naval equipment is basically armed at the expense of the Dingjun Mountain, and the cabinet does not give any money, at most some military expenses to maintain normal operation. If you want to arm on a large scale, you have to wait for the empire's fiscal revenues to improve. ”

Zhou Yu knew those things in his heart, but he felt that there were too few naval warships to take care of them.

Ye Tong actually wanted to know what level the warships of other countries had reached, and only by finding out the situation of the other party could he configure the warships more effectively.

At present, most of the two major naval fleets of the empire are armored ships, and there are not many real steel warships, only a few dozen. Not to mention the firepower, which was all 75 mm guns. Although 105 mm and 150 mm guns have been developed, they have not been equipped with troops.

"By the way, General, the Prime Minister will be elected in the second half of this year, does the General have any ideas?"

Hey!

If you want to set up this general, no way!

"I don't have any ideas, what ideas can I have for the normal election of this general."

"General, you have to give a word! In the end, who will be elected as prime minister. ”

"Gong Jin, don't ask General Ben, who do you think can bring benefits to the navy as prime minister, you will elect whomever General, General Ben will not express any opinions, let alone influence the votes of his subordinates."

"General, you really don't care?"

"I really don't care, I can't care about it."

In fact, since the establishment of the cabinet, Ye Tong has not interfered in the affairs of the cabinet, which everyone knows. The development of an empire cannot thrive because of whom, nor can it stagnate because of whom.

If you want to put the empire on the right track, you must not meddle and let it grow. The more you manage, the more mistakes you make, and the fewer you manage, the fewer mistakes you make.

What's more, the people who run the empire are all elites, and their IQs are extremely high. As long as you are single-mindedly thinking about the development of the empire, there will be no big problems at all. Even if something goes wrong, it can be corrected in time.

"General, is there anything else you need to advise?"

"Nope! Just guard the waters of the empire. But what? It is necessary to strengthen patrols on the southern continent, pay close attention to the movements of Niu Niu, and open fire directly once discovered. As for the nearby area, don't you need to tell General Ben, you will take care of it. ”

"Yes!"

Cow Cow!

In another time and space, the southern continent is the discovery of Niu Niu. It's definitely a very good continent, but Niu Niu hasn't paid much attention to it and made it a criminal penal colony.

To put it bluntly, the people on the Southern Continent are actually all descendants of criminals. It is only after hundreds of years of development that it can be regarded as truly sovereign.

----------------------

A few days later, the fleet was ready to set sail, and before setting sail, the 10,000 soldiers of the Third Corps, who had been baptized by the sea, finally got on board and accompanied them.

10,000 soldiers were shipped, and no additional ships were added, all of which were placed on the original ships.

Ye Tong and the others said goodbye to Zhou Yu, and slowly set sail under the farewell of the South China Sea Fleet, advancing towards the Majia Strait. If nothing else, you will be able to sail out of the Majia Strait in a few days.

After the fleet entered the Indian Ocean, Ye Tong ordered: "Order, tell the officers and men of the escort formation that they must strengthen vigilance." ”

"Yes!"

Once in the Indian Ocean, pirates will run rampant. The pirates who had helped Ben stay in the South China Sea, after being attacked by the Imperial Navy, all ran away to the Indian Ocean.

The Indian Ocean is a paradise for pirates due to its complex sea conditions, strong winds and waves, and easy to lurk. Many merchant ships were stagnant because of the large number of pirates.

There is a pirate who not only robs money and goods, but also robs women. Without a woman, there is generally only one way to die.

Han Xin, who was beside Ye Tong, asked puzzledly, "General, is there anything new?" ”

"It's not a new situation, it's just that once you enter the Indian Ocean, there will be a lot of pirates, so let the escort formation pay more attention, don't be overshadowed by pirates at that time."

Pirate?

"General, are pirates really that powerful?"

Hehe!

"There's nothing wrong with being careful, God knows what happens."
