As for what he wanted to see the map of the world, Jay Chou was a little puzzled.

But he looked at it anyway.

Zhang Tie was standing beside Jay Chou, and he also looked up at the map hanging on the wall.

"Today our fleet has discovered Australia and has established seven military fortified bases in Australia. However, since we don't have the ability to develop anywhere yet, we can only garrison troops first to prove that the continent already belongs to us. ”

After the two of them looked at the map for a while, Zhang Tie slowly spoke.

Jay Chou listened very quietly, and at the same time, his brain turned, and he began to analyze what the governor meant when he said that this matter made him know.

With the previous misunderstanding, Jay Chou didn't dare to easily make a conclusion in his heart.

However, from the words of the Governor-General, it seems that more troops are going to be added to Australia? Or maybe the natives over there are looking for trouble, so the Governor is planning to send troops over to carry out the massacre?

If that's the case, it's clear that the Governor doesn't have to worry about this matter.

You must know that Zhang Tie is now the governor of the east coast of the Americas, and in addition to being in charge of Manhattan, he also oversees Quebec and those colonies in Central and South America.

Song Hu was in charge of the development of the central part of the Americas, and the western coast was left to the governor of Xiangwangshan, who had already arrived in the San Francisco area and started building the city there.

The top echelons of the empire are in charge, and these are reported.

Therefore, Jay Chou is very clear about this.

Australia's discovery is very beneficial to the empire, after all, Australia's land also contains very rich mineral resources, such a big treasure trove if you don't own it, God won't agree to it.

But the problem is that there was no Panama Canal in this era. So if you want to get to Australia from Manhattan, you have to do it by sea.

At the same time, if you travel to Australia by sea, it will take a long time.

Therefore, it is more convenient to let the Governor of Wangshan on the West Coast take action.

Of course, this is just Jay Chou's own opinions, and he just thought about it in his heart. He is a soldier, and if there is an order, he will carry it out.

Besides. What the situation is now, he himself does not know.

Zhang Tie continued: "You also know that His Highness led a fleet to the East at the beginning of the year. And Australia is closer to the east than we are on the American continent or even to the Governor of Wangshan on the east coast. ”

Jay Chou nodded, it was true from the map.

In the northwest corner of Australia, the Southeast Asian archipelago is located, very close to the east.

Zhang Tie walked under the map, picked up a long wooden stick, and pointed at the enlarged map.

When His Highness traveled to the East. Hawaii and Midway have been discovered, as well as all the islands in the Pacific Ocean that can be used for fortifications, so it is very convenient to travel to Australia from Governor Wangshan.

"Recently I received a message. His Highness had a great conflict with the Japanese in the East. At the same time, when His Highness left the Governor of Wangshan, he left the 12,000 troops with him in the city of San Francisco on the west coast, so His Highness was very worried about the affairs of His Highness in the East. ”

When Jay Chou heard this, he knew that he had already reached the point.

And vaguely felt. This time he summoned himself for an interview, and it is likely that it is related to His Highness.

"So I'm going to transfer you a group of warships and sailors, and at the same time reorganize all the members of the Third Legion and take the battleships to support His Highness. I don't know what you think of it here. ”

His Royal Highness has a conflict with the Japanese people, and his grandmother's is just right to go by himself.

In addition to being able to provide support to His Highness, he can also clean up the widows of this time and space, which is a very good thing.

Immediately, Jay Chou excitedly agreed.

"Everything is in accordance with the orders of the Governor, and the subordinates will definitely fulfill the instructions of the Governor."

His Third Army had 24,000 men, and if it was to be transported to the East, it would need at least 60 ships according to the number of 400 men on one ship.

However, in this case, it is a little too crowded.

Therefore, Zhang Tie had to mobilize more than 100 warships to hand over to Jay Chou.

At this point, Jay himself estimated that he would command a corps of more than 50,000 troops to the east. And with so many troops, he is confident that he will be amazed by the Japanese people.

The historical trend in the virtual world realm is the same as the time and space before Zhao Hongyu came to this era, and the Celestial Empire has received threats from the Japanese people for a certain period of time.

Therefore, Jay Chou, who was cultivated in the virtual world, will of course also receive such historical knowledge.

Therefore, he also hated the Japanese people very much.

When he joined the army, it was to protect his family and defend the country in the new era, and he was admitted to the military academy to be able to have stronger abilities.

Therefore, people like him do not have a little psychological burden on going to the East to massacre the Japanese people of this era.

Besides, this time he went not only to slaughter the Japanese people, but also to support and protect His Highness the Empire.

At the same time, after he went to the East, he was able to see the oriental charm of the Ming Dynasty in this era. I wonder if I have the opportunity to set foot on the land of the Ming Dynasty and see the beauties over there.

In the virtual world, there are also online texts. When Jay Chou was in the army, he didn't log on to the online website of the virtual world realm Celestial Empire to read novels, so he was very yearning for the customs of the Ming Dynasty.

Because of this, Jay Chou seemed very excited and excited.

However, after the initial excitement, he immediately calmed down.

He is not going to be a tourist this time, so what he needs to consider now is some issues for military considerations.

"Your Excellency the Governor, why do you want to send troops from us? Wouldn't it be more convenient to send troops from the Governor of Wangshan to support it? ”

First of all, Jay Chou raised this question that he had been wondering about.

In response to Jay Chou's question, Zhang Tie replied: "The construction on the West Coast has just begun, and according to intelligence from the West Coast, a large-scale Indian tribal war is breaking out in the San Francisco area. Therefore, on the side of the governor of Wangshan, there are not enough troops to be dispatched for the time being. Even if there are some troops, they are used to support the defenders of the fort on the Australian side. ”

Although this reason is acceptable, Jay Chou is strange that since he does not plan to transfer troops from the West Coast, what did the governor talk about Australia to himself before.

"Then Lord Governor, which route will I take this time to the East?"

This point is crucial for Jay Chou.

There are only two ways to get east from Manhattan now.

One is to take the African route around Europe, passing through the southern tip of the Arabian world and India, and then reaching the East.

There is another way, which is to take the road that Zhao Hongyu took at the beginning of the year, that is, to go around the southern tip of America and then cross the Pacific Ocean to the East.

These two roads are not close anyway.

What Jay Chou can think of are these two routes.

Therefore, he needed to ask Zhang Tie what he meant.

After all, there was no Panama Canal in this era, so if you take the American route, it is inevitable to take a long detour.

"Let's go to South America, after all, our warships are equipped with engines and propellers, which can increase the speed a lot. So there's no problem going through South America, and I need you to take the South American route without going to San Francisco, and go straight to Australia from our stronghold of Lennox, the southernmost point in South America, and get supplies from there. ”

Indeed, the distance between the two routes is actually about the same.

However, if you take the South American route, there is an advantage that you do not have by taking the African route.

That is, the Americas were now under the control of the Empire, especially Central America and South America, which were colonies of the Song Empire. Therefore, if Jay Chou takes the fleet to South America, he can easily get supplies, making the voyage not so difficult.

However, if he were to take the African route, it would be a problem to resupply.

Even, if you don't get it right, there will be some friction and fighting, which will greatly affect the flight time.

Therefore, Zhang Tie had already made a plan, that is, to let Jay Chou take the fleet to South America.

After listening to Zhang Tie's words, Jay Chou thought for a moment and nodded.

"Well, if we go on the South American route, it's still very beneficial for us. After all, Central and South America have colonies, or fortified strongholds, so we can easily get supplies and water. ”

Seeing that Jay Chou also saw this benefit, Zhang Tie smiled.

"Yes, I'm glad you saw that." , Zhang Tie praised Jay Chou.

"So, Lord Governor, when are we ready to go? And what are the types of warships handed over to me? Jay Chou asked some key questions.

"Leave in three days, and when you go back, you can start gathering the Third Army. I will allocate you one hundred and fifty warships, of which sixteen are heavy battleships, one hundred are Dutch, and thirty-four are Spanish galleons. ”

Well, a fleet of 150 ships, Jay Chou is completely relieved.

Although such a fleet is not a large number, each warship is really ahead of this era.

"After arriving in Australia, you don't want to stay too long, and immediately go to the Wa Kingdom to get in touch with His Highness. Then you will stay with him and be at your disposal, and when Your Highness has finished his trip to the East, you will lead the fleet and the Third Army to the Australian garrison. ”

Zhang Tie explained to Jay Chou seriously. (To be continued......)
