At the beginning of October, after the end of the Hokyo Alliance, the leaders of all players left one after another. The Zhoushui Alliance fleet left Weishui, exited the Yellow River, and returned to the Tanggukou Naval Base. Along the way, Qin Xiaobai inevitably coordinated with the Sword King, Sea Soul, Crazy Dragon, Feihong, Son of Heaven and others on an expedition to the Indian Ocean.

Yan, Qi, Wu, Chu, and Lu are all located along the coast, and all have naval fleets of different sizes, which is very convenient for sea expeditions.

However, the Son of Heaven is in Wei, located in the hinterland of the Yellow River, with a small number of small shipyards, but there is a lack of large naval ships for expeditions, and it is necessary to rely on Qin Xiaobai's ships. The Son of Heaven proposed that Qin Xiaobai sell and lease some large armed ships and transport ships at a low price for the players in Wei Land.

Qin Xiaobai laughed and agreed, Zhoushui Shipyard supplies expeditionary ships to the entire Wei Di player army, this is not dozens of hundreds of building ships and warships can solve the problem, but thousands of ships, even if they are sold at a low price, needless to say, the profits are huge.

Shipyards throughout the Bohai, Yellow, East and South China Seas are at full capacity and have begun to build ocean-going sailing ships and warships on a large scale for the expedition that is about to begin. Thousands of large sailing ships are launched almost every day for players to use. Due to the agreement reached by the various princes, the seafaring trade of the Great Zhou Dynasty became unprecedentedly prosperous. Large and small commercial ports, appeared all over the coast.

Players in Qin and Zhao decided to go out of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau on 6 and go to Pakistan to encircle India, which also saved the cost of buying a large number of ships. However, although this money was saved, there was another big problem - the transportation routes on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau were very treacherous and difficult. All the food will be consumed on the road alone. It is necessary to build roads on a large scale, improve road transport conditions, and save food consumption on the road.

Therefore, instead of sending troops to the expedition, the players in Qin, Zhao, and Bashu did first, but mobilized nearly 10 million NPC laborers to build two transportation arteries on a large scale:

One is the east-west artery. = From Jinyang, Xianyang. After Tianshui, Jincheng, Hexi Corridor Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan, arrived at Jiayuguan, Dunhuang, until Urumqi, and Kazakhstan border.

The other is the north-south artery, which goes south from Jincheng to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Qinghai and Yushu. Arrive in Lhasa and build the road to the Kashmir region on the border with Pakistan.

These two major transportation arteries can be said to be the strategic corridors of the 6 Shang Expedition. If these two arteries cannot be connected, the strategy of suppressing India will not be implemented at all. With the strength of the players in Qin, Zhao, and Bashu, it is not too difficult to build these two roads with all their might.

In addition, Bashu players can also enter Myanmar from Yunnan and build a naval military base off the coast of Myanmar to directly enter the Indian Ocean.

The players of the nine princes each exert their magical powers and start their powers.

The strategic goal of the first phase of the imperial expedition of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The front of the army is directed at the Indian Ocean.

Of course, the occupation of the Indian Ocean is not something that can be done overnight. It must be occupied step by step, with a solid foundation, step by step.

Just when Qin Xiaobai ordered the Zhoushui Alliance to expand the Bohai Sea Naval Fleet on a large scale for the third time, and made every effort to prepare for an expedition to the Indian Ocean. The Zhou Shui Military Department sent very bad news from a South Korea-Japan theater in the direction of the Korean Peninsula:

In the early morning of 7 October, the Japanese fleet concentrated the superior strength of nearly 3,000 warships and raided the Korean convoy in Fukuoka, destroying nearly 1,000 high-level warships of the South Korean players and sinking a large amount of military supplies and soldiers. South Korean players lost a fifth of their naval power overnight. Hit hard. Although the Japanese fleet also suffered some damage in this battle, it was much lower than the losses of the Korean fleet.

Qin Xiaobai frowned: "Sneak attacked? How could such a low-level mistake occur? ”

The current chief of the general staff of the Zhou Shui Military Department, who did not stay for thousands of miles, said calmly: "According to the report sent by the South Korean side, when they were transporting troops and food from Busan, South Korea to Fukuoka Prefecture on the Japanese island of Kyushu, they misjudged the actions of the Japanese player's fleet, so that they were ambushed and raided by the Japanese fleet. But Korean players fought valiantly to the last soldier. Finally, set fire to the ship. No trophies were left for the Japanese fleet.

However, based on the information I have gathered, I am afraid that they have won several big battles in a row during this time. There was some slackness, and the weak fleet of 1,000 warships was anchored in the Fukuoka area for too long, so that the Japanese fleet seized the opportunity, which caused heavy losses, and a large number of military supplies were also robbed by the Japanese players.

Boss, the South Korean side has asked us to give us more fleet and armament support, how do you think this matter should be handled? ”

Qin Xiaobai paced back and forth and thought for a while.

"It seems that South Korea and North Korea alone will not be able to suppress Japan. Take a trip to the Philippines and let Filipino players send troops, and we will provide a part of the fleet and munitions to join the war against Japan. ”

Qianli was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked: "Why did you let the Philippines send troops?" Wouldn't it be cleaner for us to send troops directly on our own?! ”

Qin Xiaobai smiled lightly:

"Any boss always has a lot of juniors to play for. In the same way, any great empire always has many vassal states working for it. In order for China to establish its position as a suzerainty in Asia, we need to subdue a large number of subject states to serve ourselves.

As a suzerain, most things cannot be done by yourself, but are served by the subordinate state. There are many benefits to letting Filipino players send troops, and the Philippines can be tied to our chariot and become our vassal country. In addition, the Philippines is in Southeast Asia, and it is the only way for Japan to reach Southeast Asia. The rivalry between the players of the two countries is equivalent to cutting off the route of the Japanese players to the south. If it is not enough to add the Philippines, then add Malaysia, Vietnam, etc., and send the recruited troops directly to the Japanese island.

There are forty-eight countries in Asia, and we need to subjugate all of them as vassal states of the Zhou dynasty. In addition to fighting Russia, we need to do it ourselves, and when we fight other countries, we only need to let the subordinate countries do it. All China needs to do is adjudicate, otherwise, how can it be called a central empire? ”

Thousands of miles do not leave a shock. The boss's bearing is not limited to a corner, but is directly based on the "empire". The word "empire" is not something that anyone can bear if they want to. The boss did not hesitate to spend huge amounts of materials to let South Korea and North Korea go to Japan, but in fact, he was already tying South Korea and North Korea to his own chariot through the hands of Japanese players. Can South Korea and North Korea be inseparable from China's support now? Inseparable from. Without China's support, it wouldn't be long before they were finished.

South Korea and North Korea are pawns that are used to suppress Japan. But how is Japan not a pawn, invisibly forcing South Korea and North Korea to submit to China! Although the two stand on different positions, they are both pawns.

The so-called empire is a chess hand in the game of world hegemony, not a chess piece.

Thousands of miles did not stay to understand the mystery, and admired Qin Xiaobai's far-reaching gaze. He didn't say anything more, but immediately contacted the Filipino players and asked them to go north to the Japanese theater to participate in the war. As long as the Philippines gets on the warship, it will be difficult to get off the ship.

Filipino players have not completed internal unification, and are still in a state where many player power organizations are divided and king. Of course, they were very aware of the course of the war between Korea and Japan, and knew that the risks were very high, and they did not want to participate in this East Asian war, and their interest was to compete with Malaysia for fishing grounds.

However, the Chinese players leased a large number of high-grade warships and munitions in return for heavy profits, and promised to cede the land on Kyushu Island to the Filipino players, and the Filipino players will occupy as much land as they want. The loot obtained can be exchanged for warships with China.

This immediately aroused the frenzy of the Filipino players.

You must know that the research degree of Chinese warships is very amazing, and it is definitely the most high-end cargo in the world, as long as you have dozens of ships, you can immediately become a small hegemon in the Philippines, and it is not a problem to show off your might.

Many Filipino leaders have expressed their willingness to go to the Korea-Japan theater to participate in the war.

Qin Xiaobai was overjoyed.

He personally came forward to coordinate the shipyards in Yan, Qi, Wu, Lu, and Chu, and easily raised nearly 1,000 brig-class fighting ships, as well as more than 2,000 large transport ships, as well as a batch of high-end weapons and armaments, which were leased to the Philippine player forces.

Hundreds of player forces in the Philippines dispatched hundreds of thousands of troops to begin the expedition to the Japanese island of Kyushu.

At the instigation of the players, the king of the Philippine NPC officially declared war on Japan and carried out a general mobilization of the whole Philippines, becoming the third country to declare war on Japan after South Korea and North Korea.

Although the South Korean fleet was defeated, the participation of Filipino players immediately boosted the momentum of the South Korean and North Korean sides and reversed the situation of declining morale.

The nine princes of China are still preparing the warships needed for the expedition to the Indian Ocean in an orderly manner, and they have not been affected by the war situation between South Korea and Japan in the slightest.
