Shanhai City, Summer Palace.

In the imperial study, Ouyang Shuo had just finished communicating with Jiang Shang about a new round of civil official adjustment plans. With the establishment of Liaojin Province and the promotion of Huo Guang and Han Qi to governors, the vacant county guards naturally needed to be filled.

Personnel layout often affects the whole body.

The adjustment list drawn up by the cabinet basically meets Ouyang Shuo's requirements and has just been approved. In Ouyang Shuo's eyes, it doesn't mean that historical talents are necessarily superior to the indigenous NPCs cultivated by Great Xia itself.

There are some diehards, even pedantic elements, people who are not old, no matter how famous they are, Ouyang Shuo will not put them in a key position such as a county guard, but into an idle position.

"Emphasis on talent is not honorable, only talent is lifted."

The "talent" here does not refer to the scholar's talent, but to the talent.

After talking about business, Ouyang Shuo took a sip of the freshly brewed Baihao tea, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, as expected by the elder of the pavilion, the silver hand is still as proud as ever, and he doesn't plan to stop at all." ”

Ouyang Shuo is not a fool, how could he hope that if he beat the Dawson Dynasty, the other party would be obedient. Not to mention the silver hand, Emperor Chen and they have been fighting with Great Xia for four or five years, and until now, haven't they been fighting all the time, thinking about how to turn the tables? !

The resilience of the family, Ouyang Shuo has already experienced.

As the game is about to pass the halfway point, Great Xia is about to enter the second half, and Ouyang Shuo's opponent has also changed from [Yanhuang Alliance] to a more powerful, more advantageous, and more difficult silver hand.

"Let's fight, victory is a fight." Ouyang Shuo was used to it.

Jiang Shang on the other side took over the conversation and said with a smile: "It's normal for the other party not to stop, as long as they don't focus on us, it can be regarded as a victory." ”

Regarding the philosophy of struggle, Jiang Shang is obviously more deeply immersed.

"It's just that in this way, I'm afraid the life of the Atlantic Fleet will be difficult!" Ouyang Shuo was a little worried.

The Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, which have just stabilized, do not see any risks for the time being, but the Atlantic Fleet, which has been in the whirlpool, has suddenly become in a difficult situation.

In the Atlantic, some of the TP's most powerful fleets are roaming in this area, and once they join forces, there is very little room for the Atlantic Fleet to play.

In addition, the Atlantic Fleet only has two naval bases in Morocco and the port of Gibraltar that are very close to each other, and the difficulty in replenishment further restricts the fleet's movement in a wider area.

"The Imperial Court needs to support the Atlantic Fleet." Ouyang Shuo made up his mind and looked at Jiang Shang, "The cabinet coordinates with the Finance Yuan to squeeze out seven million gold coins to equip the Atlantic Fleet with a submarine formation!" ”

Although Great Xia has mastered the technology of manufacturing magic power submarines, with the current industrial level, it is not yet possible to build such high-tech ships independently, so it can only purchase from Lemuria City.

"Good!"

Although the imperial court supported the construction of Maldai County, Hawaii County and Liaojin Province, the finances were already a little tight, Jiang Shang still agreed to come down.

When it comes to the big strategy of the dynasty, the finances should grit their teeth, and they have to grit their teeth.

…………

On November 2, Ouyang Shuo went to the camp of the Praetorian Guard to visit the soldiers who had returned from victory.

The Praetorian Guard is worthy of the title of "Dynasty Sword", and whenever there is a big war in the imperial court, the Praetorian Guard can always be seen charging ahead. In the recent period alone, he has participated in the Battle of Annam, the Battle of Goryeo, and the Battle of Annihilation.

Every time, Ouyang Shuo was not disappointed.

A week ago, after replenishing the battle damage, the Praetorian Guards had withdrawn from Liaojin Province and returned to Shanhai City to rest. Ouyang Shuo specially issued an order to grant the soldiers a five-day vacation and let them go home to visit their relatives.

Such an accolade is not common.

The families of the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard have been placed in Shanhai City by the Privy Council one after another, and have become a group of people living at the feet of the Son of Heaven, eating imperial food, and living a very comfortable life.

It is precisely in this way that the Praetorian Guard's unconditional allegiance to the dynasty and Ouyang Shuo can be won. In Ouyang Shuo's words, "The Praetorian Guards are the children of Great Xia. ”

Yesterday, the soldiers had returned to the camp after their leave and resumed their daily training.

Ouyang Shuo's coming this time was not only a condolence, but also a mobilization, because before the arrival of Gaia's sixth year, the imperial court still had a tough battle to fight, that is, the Battle of Luzon.

This is a hard bone harder than Annan.

Lu Bu not only has 800,000 royal city forbidden troops, but it is foreseeable that if Great Xia attacks Luzon in an all-out way, the Javanese state on the side should not stand idly by, and will definitely intervene.

Both are TP members, and they just respond to the request of "joint escort at sea", so they will collude in the future. Even the trembling Australian zone could be involved.

Therefore, the battle of Luzon was not a simple battle between the two sides, but probably a big melee.

With the Long Xiang Army alone, it is naturally impossible to do it.

The Praetorian Guard, who had just rested for two days, was afraid that they would soon embark on a new journey.

…………

Leaving the Praetorian Guard camp, Ouyang Shuo went to see another person.

It had been a while since Nimitz, the former Admiral of the Dawson Dynasty's Freedom Fleet, was escorted into Beijing, and Ouyang Shuo had never had time to meet this legendary figure alone.

Nimitz was very arrogant, and according to Du Ruhui, the military minister who was responsible for persuading him to surrender, this person was extremely uncooperative, and he was not willing to serve in the Great Xia army at all, and even threatened to go on a hunger strike.

In this way, Ouyang Shuo wants to see him even more. There's no reason to say that it's hard to capture a good admiral, and it's just a decoration.

The meeting place was chosen in the Privy Council Reception Cell.

Because Nimitz is very special, and Ouyang Shuo specially ordered that even if he is taken into custody, his living treatment is still excellent, he does not have to worry about food and clothing, and he can move freely in the courtyard.

When Ouyang Shuo came, Nimitz was sitting in the courtyard, basking in the sun leisurely, while holding a thread-bound book and reading it with relish.

With the help of Gaia's automatic translation system, Nimitz has no obstacle at all in reading Chinese books.

The guard in charge of guarding saw Ouyang Shuo and was about to salute, but was stopped by Ouyang Shuo and quietly came to him.

"The general thinks that "The Art of War" has merit in naval operations?" Ouyang Shuo asked.

"Who?!"

Nimitz was alert and looked up.

"Presumptuous, when you see the king, you still don't salute!" Xu Chu shouted.

Nimitz was even more surprised, got up, took a step back unconsciously, glanced at Ouyang Shuo in disbelief, and then reluctantly bowed.

Ouyang Shuo smiled: "The general hasn't answered my words yet." ”

Nimitz came back to his senses and avoided answering, "I won't serve in the Great Xia Army!" ”

"I don't think so!"

Since Ouyang Shuo is here, he naturally has the certainty of convincing Nimitz.
