According to the intelligence from the Admiralty of the Liuyun Empire, Su Yi estimated that the fleet of the Sharad Empire, which had four super dreadnought battleships, would arrive in Newport City at the end of May or early June.

This made Su Yi hesitate a little, whether to take the initiative to attack before the arrival of the fleet of the Shalad Empire, and first weaken the strength of the Jisk Imperial Navy and the Orenza Imperial Navy, otherwise when the navies of the three countries unite, the independent fleet of the Royal Navy of the Liuyun Empire in Su Yi's hands will have a very slim chance of winning.

In fact, Su Yi didn't know that the Shalad Empire, the Gisk Empire, and the Orenza Empire had already drawn their respective spheres of influence at the beginning of this war, which was also the reason why the navies of the Gisk Empire and the Orenza Empire had never come to trouble Su Yi.

At noon on April 13, 3011 in the Tang calendar, Su Yi, Wang Chengliang and He Yunfei were studying the question of whether the independent fleet should take the initiative to attack, when a guard sent a telegram to Su Yi.

Su Yi took the telegram and looked at it, and immediately frowned, and then Su Yi handed the telegram to Wang Chengliang, and after Wang Chengliang read it, he handed it to He Yunfei.

He Yunfei said to Su Yi: "Marshal, if we go to rescue the First Fleet and the Third Fleet of the Celestial Star Empire, we can take the opportunity to weaken part of the strength of the Jisk Empire's navy, which coincides with what we discussed before. ”

It turned out that this telegram was sent by the Admiralty of the Liuyun Empire, hoping that the independent fleet could go south and rush to the Kangshan Port of the Celestial Star Empire to assist the First Fleet and the Third Fleet of the Celestial Star Empire Navy to break through.

The Celestial Star Empire has a total of four main fleets, of which the First Fleet has two former dreadnought battleships, four ironclad battleships, four armored cruisers, eight light cruisers, ten destroyers, and thirty torpedo boats, which is the strongest of the four main fleets.

The Second Fleet of the Star Empire had two former dreadnought battleships, two ironclad battleships, two armored cruisers, six light cruisers, six destroyers, and twenty torpedo boats, the same equipment as the battered Third Fleet of the Star Empire.

After the war began, the first and second fleets of the Celestial Star Empire were trapped by the navy of the Jisk Empire in Kangshan Port, the largest military port of the Celestial Star Empire.

Now the army of the Jisk Empire has invaded Weinan Province, where Kangshan Port is located, by land, and has gone straight to Kangshan Port, obviously to capture Kangshan Port and catch turtles in an urn against the two main fleets of the Celestial Star Empire.

The First Fleet and the Second Fleet of the Celestial Star Empire had no choice but to prepare to break through, otherwise it would be difficult for these two fleets to break through once Kangshan Port was captured by the troops of the Gisk Empire.

Su Yi touched his chin and said: "According to the information transmitted by the Celestial Star Imperial Navy, the Jisk Imperial Navy has gathered at least six dreadnought battleships, eight former dreadnought battleships and ten ironclad battleships outside Kangshan Port, and there are also dozens of armored cruisers, light cruisers, destroyers and torpedo boats combined. ”

Wang Chengliang couldn't help but light up when he heard that Su Yi had the intention of sending troops, and said with some excitement: "Marshal, I think that the first and second teams can be dispatched, together with four 'Fei' class large armored cruisers, four light cruisers and ten destroyers, which is enough to defeat the Jisk Imperial Navy outside Kangshan Port." ”

The first squadron mentioned by Wang Chengliang refers to the super dreadnought battleship formation composed of two Bavaria-class battleships Yongxiang and Yonghui, two Ise-class battleships Tongan and Tongrui, and two Iron Duke-class battleships Chubo and Chutai.

The second squadron refers to the formation of dreadnought battleships composed of two British giant-class battleships, Pinghai and Pinggong, and two German king-class battleships, the Deji and Desheng.

In addition, the Independence Fleet had a third squadron, a formation of six Edward VII-class battleships Jianwei, Jianyong, Jianren, Jianwu, Jianli, and Jianshuo.

Su Yi immediately said categorically: "Then according to what Cheng Liang said, send the first and second teams, as well as four large armored cruisers, four light cruisers and ten destroyers, and set off in the afternoon to rush to Kangshan Port of the Celestial Star Empire to meet the world's fifth navy for a while!" ”

Wang Chengliang nodded and said: "Xingang City is not far from Kangshan Port, it should be able to arrive in two days, don't worry, the independent fleet will definitely send you the good news of victory!" ”

Su Yi's next words made Wang Chengliang and He Yunfei all frown, "I will personally go to Kangshan Port with the independent fleet in this battle, you don't need to persuade me, no matter what, I must go!" ”

He Yunfei hesitated and said: "Dashuai, there are many things here in Xingang City, and you still need to stay and sit in charge!" ”

Su Yi waved his hand and said: "You are here in Xingang City, I am very relieved, this battle is very important, I must go in person, and there is another important reason for me to go to Kangshan Port......"

The reason why Su Yi had to go to Kangshan Port was actually to inspect Kangshan Port to see if there was a chance to occupy Kangshan Port.

Although the port of Xingang City is not small, it is only a civilian port, and the terrain is not suitable for military port, Su Yi has no way to use the port of Xingang City as the home port of the independent fleet, after all, Su Yi's territory in his hands is only Xingang City.

Kangshan Port is known as the largest natural ice-free harbor in the Oriental Continent, the terrain is extremely dangerous, surrounded by mountains on three sides, the entrance door to the east, there is an island of more than ten square kilometers to guard in front of it, forming two channels to the east and north and the import and export, constituting the natural barrier of Kangshan Port.

Knowing from the telegram sent by the Admiralty of the Liuyun Empire that the Celestial Star Empire was actually preparing to give up Kangshan Port, Su Yi suddenly had the idea of taking Kangshan Port for himself, and the army of the Celestial Star Empire could not hold Kangshan Port, which did not mean that Su Yi could not hold Kangshan Port.

On March 1 and April 1, Su Yi bought all the goods that could be purchased in the system mall, increasing the number of army-type primary combat biochemical personnel under Su Yi's command by 25,000 and the number of navy-type primary combat biochemical personnel by 48,000.

Now the Xingang garrison has six infantry wings and an infantry brigade, with a total strength of more than 50,000 people, and the six infantry wings are all composed of biochemical officers and soldiers, and they are well-armed.

What's more, Su Yi still has nine ad hoc infantry wings composed of more than 71,000 naval officers and men, as well as a powerful independent fleet.
