Chapter 234: Sooner or Later
As Yan Hui narrated, everyone took out paper and pen to record. Yan Hui deliberately slowed down so that his courtiers could record clearly. In this era, people are still limited to the land, and their awareness of the meaning of the sea and the sea frontier is still very vague. If you want to change this kind of thinking, it can't be done overnight, and what makes Yan Hui happy is that Murong Feng and Yue Zhongqi, Yue Jingbo and Yang Ligong have begun to take the initiative to explore this issue, and there is no doubt that Murong Feng is at the forefront.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have decided that from now on, the two major naval divisions under the command of the Flying Tiger Legion will be officially renamed the Navy, and they will be named the Northern Fleet and the Southern Fleet respectively. The Admiralty was established, and Murong Feng was appointed as the chief of the Admiralty, and Yue Zhongqi was appointed as the deputy chief. From now on, the Navy is independent of the Flying Tiger Regiment and is under the direct jurisdiction of the General Staff. At the same time, the Naval Command College was established to train naval command personnel. Building a strong navy is just as important as building a strong army of flying tigers, just as a person has two legs, and both legs must be strong for this person to be able to walk like fly. At present, our navy can be regarded as strong, and the Sea Dragon-class battleships should be the sea hegemons of this era, and our warships are equipped with naval guns, far surpassing the fleet equipment of the Hongyi country, and there is no reason why we should not achieve victory, and there is no reason not to firmly hold the sea dominance in our hands. Next, I would like to ask Chief Murong to announce the battle plan. ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, the strength of the Hongyi Naval Division is indeed very strong, and the expeditionary fleet this time has a total of one hundred and thirty-five large and small warships, among which the Lion is the commander of the expeditionary fleet, Dereman. The Lion is the largest warship in the Hongyi Kingdom, but its length is only two-thirds of that of our Sea Dragon-class battleship, and its carrying capacity is only half of that of the Sea Dragon-class. There were more than eighty warships of the same class, and the rest were even smaller. On the other hand, in our navy, the main forces of the two major fleets are concentrated in Jinlan Port in Nanyi, with a total of 63 Sea Dragon-class warships and 130 Sea-class fast warships that are slightly smaller than the Sea Dragon-class warships. In terms of both numbers and combat effectiveness, our side has an absolute advantage. The operation was divided into three steps. First of all, annihilate the expeditionary fleet of the Hongyi Kingdom and capture Phuket. Second, blockade the major ports of the Hongyi Kingdom and seek opportunities to annihilate its remaining naval forces. Third, while blockading the Hongyi Country, sweep the surrounding island countries and put them into our sphere of influence, and recruit the sailors of the island countries to surround the Hongyi Country and trap them in the Hongyi Country. In the end, it was forced to sign a defeat treaty, and sent a fleet to be stationed in Hongyi Country, and used it as a base to pass through the open sea. Ladies and gentlemen, the first and second objectives of this campaign are relatively easy to achieve, while the final objectives take a long time and require strong support from Nanyi and Jiangnan. ”
"Fighting in the ocean, far from home, the supply of all kinds of materials is a problem. To occupy other countries, it is necessary to set aside a certain number of troops to maintain stability, so the road to dominating the sea must be taken step by step. But we believe that we have a strong fleet, we have a splendid civilization, we have abundant products, and we have advanced technology. More importantly, we have a wise and wise Majesty, uh, the Lord who leads us, so no matter what difficulties we encounter, no matter what strong enemies we face, we will crush them. We will achieve our goal, the Flying Tiger Battle Banner refers to my domain, and the Dragon Flag flutters wherever the sun shines. The lord wins! ”
"The lord wins!"
A successful start meant a happy ending, and the conference was followed by a grand banquet. During the banquet, Yan Hui called Yue Jingbo and Yang Ligong, the two future commanders of the naval fleet, to his side, and if they were both superior in terms of qualifications and abilities, they were both qualified to become the helmsmen of the Admiralty. And the reason why Yan Hui chose Murong Feng was because of his understanding of sea dominance, as well as his determination and courage to dominate the sea.
It should be said that the equipment of the two fleets is completely different from that of the traditional naval divisions, and the combat and command methods of the traditional naval divisions should have undergone a thorough change long ago, and in this respect, Yue Jingbo and Yang Ligong's ability is lacking. Their rich experience in naval warfare command was entirely based on the old-style naval divisions, but Murong Feng was different, his understanding of the relationship between the sea and the state was far beyond this era, and his ability to accept new things was incomparable to Yue Jingbo and Yang Ligong. And his courage to explore and practice the spirit is even more commendable, as the saying goes, thought determines height, there is such a talent who satisfies Yanhui in all aspects, how can he not do it.
Yan Hui and the two fleet commanders had a deep talk, the purpose was to eliminate the dissatisfaction in the hearts of the two of them, you must know that discord between the generals is a taboo in the army, and at this moment when it is related to the fortunes of the country, all unfavorable factors must be eliminated in the bud.
But what Yan Hui didn't expect was that Yue Jingbo and Yang Ligong had no complaints about this, Yan Hui asked carefully and found out that these two had already competed with Murong Feng, and whether it was a simulated naval battle on the sand table or a small-scale real confrontation, Murong Feng was a complete victory. Earlier, Yue Jingbo's fleet had been conducted in accordance with the new tactics compiled by Murong Feng, and it should be said that Murong Feng was in charge of the navy, and Yue Jingbo was the most convinced.
Yang Ligong, a veteran, belongs to the kind of character that is old and serious, and he is very smart, if he is not smart, he will not join Yanhui's camp early. Therefore, Yan Hui's worry is a bit redundant, but this time it has brought the relationship between Yue Jingbo, Yang Ligong and Yan Hui closer. It is a very glorious thing for a man to make contributions to the field, and the two have long envied the exploits of the generals of the Flying Tiger Legion, but fighting on land is not the strength of the two, and now with such an opportunity, these two people can think of anything else.
What Yan Hui didn't expect was that Yue Jingbo actually regarded himself as a retainer, since it was the intention of the head of the family, the retainer naturally would not object, and unconditionally supported Yan Hui's decision. In addition to admiring Murong Feng's foresight, Yang Ligong also regarded Murong Feng as his future uncle, and in this era, the emperor's relatives still had a very high status, so Yang Ligong did not have any opinions.
After appeasing the two generals, Yan Hui was also very happy in his heart, and he raised his wine glass to drink with his courtiers. When he was extremely excited, Murong Feng suddenly jumped on the table and raised his glass and shouted: "Your Majesty Wansheng!" Wansheng! Wansheng! ”
All the ministers shouted in unison: "Your Majesty wins!" Wansheng! Wansheng! ”
After three exhalations, everyone looked at Yan Hui with wine glasses, their eyes full of expectation.
Yan Hui looked at everyone with a smile, he knew that the courtiers shouted that His Majesty was himself, and he said after taking a sip of the wine in the toast: "It's still early, it's still early." ”
"Sooner or later." Murong Feng would never let go of this opportunity to stamp Yan Hui's body.
"Hahaha, that's it, sooner or later!" The ministers echoed in unison.
"That's right, sooner or later." Yue Zhongqi stroked his beard and nodded.
At the time of the lamp, Yan Hui was drawing a picture in the study. The navy must have its own flag when it is independent, this matter Yan Hui wants to do by himself, Dayan's golden dragon flag has been flying for five hundred years, and it is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and Dayan has regarded itself as the descendant of the dragon since ancient times, and this dragon flag should still be retained. After thinking about it, Yan Hui referred to the style of the Bayi military flag in his previous life, and improved it on the basis of the Dayan Golden Dragon Flag. A blue of the sea was added to the bright red flag, and a golden anchor with two crossed naval guns formed the new naval flag.
Yan Hui, who was inspired, casually drew the future army flag, which is still dominated by the golden dragon flag, with a green horizontal path below, a golden tower shield and two crossed long knives to become the symbol of the army. Yanhui did not pause, and the future air force flag appeared on paper. On the black crossway, an eagle with outstretched golden wings holds a shield in one paw and a long knife in the other.
As he finished drawing the last picture, he heard an exclamation behind him.
"It's beautiful."
Yan Hui looked back and saw Yuan Yuan standing behind him with Nianzu in his arms, and Yan Hui held up the picture to show the two of them.
"Well, this flag is beautiful, isn't it?"
"Well, is this the flag that Fujun designed for Youzhou?"
"It's designed for the country of the future. You see, the bright red flag represents the blood and the spirit of never giving in, the golden dragon represents that we are the descendants of the dragon, the two front paws and the long knife on the left indicate that we will defend our dignity by force, the scroll on the right represents our culture and our thoughts, and the two hind paws on the sun and the moon respectively represent that our country will shine with the sun and the moon. The ears of wheat surrounding the golden dragon to the left and right indicate that our country is well-fed, and the gears below indicate that our technology is the foundation of a strong country. On the ribbon under the gears is our motto: Imperial interests above all else. ”
"Husband, you're too talented, well~~~~~."
A fragrant kiss is a reward, but Yanhui found that her son's eyes looking at the design of the national flag were not ordinary, how to say it, it shouldn't be the performance of a little baby.
"Son, is Daddy's painting good-looking?"
"Ahh
Nian Zu couldn't speak yet, but he kept nodding his head, and he couldn't stop talking about it. Yan Hui happily hugged his son and lifted it high, and the two of them had a lot of fun. Yuan Yuan put away the drawings, turned back to Yan Hui and said, "Uncle Feng, Uncle He Shang, and Commander Qin are almost healed from their injuries, and they are clamoring to go to sea with you to participate in the war." ”
"They are tigers on the road, and they may not be used to the sea, so let's see, if they can do it, let them follow."
"Husband, the three of them are all old people, this time the matter of their father and mother hit them hard, and they are all blaming themselves, husband, persuade them."
"I will, I will never forget those who are like them, and I will settle my father's hatred with Rong. You told them in private, let them take care of their health, I need them, and I will also need them in the future, and we will always be a family. ”
"Well, I remember. Husband, it's good to follow you. By the way, husband, I rewarded Murong Feng today. ”
"Why?"
"His majesty's cry is very heroic, husband, I think it is much more domineering than the lord."
"Hahaha, sooner or later." (To be continued.) )
