In order to ensure the safety of trade and navigation routes and supply routes, it is imperative to crack down on piracy in Southeast Asia. It is very difficult to fight piracy alone, but it is much easier to support pirates from one country to fight pirates from another.

Among Southeast Asian countries such as Singapore, the Philippines, Cambodia, Brunei, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia, he decided to focus on pirate players from Singapore, the Philippines, and Cambodia.

Singapore is an all-weather ally of China and has established close military and commercial alliances. Some players in the Philippines are quasi-allies with China, and in many ways, such as the South Korea-Japan battlefield, cooperate with each other. Cambodia is a potential ally of China in the future, containing Vietnam's Hai 6 power in the Indochina Peninsula.

In addition, although the players of these three countries have a certain amount of naval and 6 military strength, they are all weak, and they are weak among the Southeast Asian countries. Winning over and supporting the maritime forces of these three countries will be very helpful to the Pacific Fleet's control of the whole of Southeast Asia. If you want to gain a foothold in the complex island groups of Southeast Asia, you can't do without the help of local players.

Qianli did not stay behind, compiled his thoughts into a report, and sent it to the Pacific Fleet Command in Keelung, Taiwan, requesting that more warships and weapons and equipment be sold cheaply to the player pirates of these three countries, so that these pirate gangs could be used for their own use, and take the opportunity to establish a pirate intelligence network all over Southeast Asia among these pirate gangs, so as to serve the Pacific Fleet for a long time.

PACOM received the report and highly appreciated the idea and implemented it.

Throughout the month of November, the Pacific Fleet spared no effort to entrench itself in the countries of Southeast Asia. The pirates of Singapore, Cambodia, and the Philippines have unconsciously become stronger, with high-end warships and sophisticated iron armor equipment, allowing them to quickly gain the upper hand in the competition with pirates from other countries.

Pirate gangs operating in the Strait of Malacca have been largely wiped out by pirates in Singapore, while pirates in the South China Sea are mainly Cambodia and the Philippines, and pirate gangs from other countries such as Vietnam and Indonesia have been cracked down. The power has faded quite a bit.

Although the pirate gangs in Vietnam, Indonesia and other countries have their naval fleets behind them, they can't bear it. Their equipment is not on the same level as China's equipment. They were forced to retreat into their respective seas and rarely operate in the South China Sea.

A month is not too long, not too short. The Pacific Fleet did several important things.

First of all, the resource "rope" for Japanese players is tightened.

In order to limit the acquisition of large amounts of mineral resources by Japanese players, the Bohai Fleet of the Zhoushui Alliance was located in the port of Vladivostok. Crack down on all smuggling in the northern seas. The Zhoushan Fleet used the Ryukyu Islands as a base to block smuggling in the southern seas and prohibit private fleets from transporting mineral resources to Japan. In addition, Filipino players are requested to cooperate and prohibit players from using the Philippines to transport mineral resources to Japanese islands.

Although there are a very small number of smuggling ships. Successfully crossed the tight blockade and transported the minerals to Japan. But this little bit of smuggling of past minerals will not play a role at all, at most it will allow Japanese players to build a few more sailboats.

The Pacific Fleet is not mean, and while smuggling is strictly prohibited, it does not prohibit legitimate trade.

The Pacific Fleet has set up a trading port in Keelung, where it sells a limited number of manufactured goods to Japanese players: weapons and equipment, blood potions, food, silk, ceramics, and even a small number of warships, and only accepts real coins - in addition to real coins for Japanese players. There is nothing else to pay for.

The Pacific Fleet also offers the same specifications to players in South Korea, North Korea, and the Philippines, and there are also restrictions on the number of products. Slightly more than what is available to Japanese players. The specific number depends on the degree of unfolding of the war situation -- if the ROK, DPRK, and Philippine armies are fighting smoothly, they will supply more to Japanese players, and if Japanese players are stubborn, they will supply more to ROK, DPRK and Philippines.

If Japanese players want to avoid being defeated by the combined forces of South Korea, North Korea, and the Philippines on Kyushu Island, and the defeat is too embarrassing, then buying high-quality and high-price weapons and equipment made in China is the only option. There is no other country player in Asia. Can be sold to any item in Japan.

Unless Japanese players can cross the vast Pacific Ocean for tens of thousands of miles. Obtain mineral resources from US players. Not to mention the dangers of the Pacific, can today's sailing ships support such long-distance transportation. Even if you can get it. I am afraid that the price of this resource is also ridiculously high.

In addition, the China-Philippines-Australia navigation route has been opened.

Australia is rich in iron ore and is the largest iron ore mining area in Oceania. The acquisition of the Australian Metro mine is very important for the long-term world hegemony. Especially after entering the industrial age, the iron consumption is huge, and Australia's role will be even more significant.

There is also the establishment of a vast maritime trade network in Southeast Asia. Supporting their own forces in various countries, this strategy was used by the leaders of the Pacific Fleet.

Important coastal cities in Southeast Asian countries are included in the Southeast Asian maritime trade network. With ports along the coast of China as the center, and ports in Southeast Asia as supplements, merchants can trade freely in hundreds of large and small treaty ports in more than 10 countries, as long as they are careful not to be caught by pirates.

Because of the strong existence of the Pacific Fleet, the deterrent effect is great, and the national wars between Southeast Asian countries have decreased, and no player from any country dares to easily invade other countries to start a war. The only burning point of war in East Asia is the Japanese island of Kyushu. The seafaring trade of players from East and Southeast Asian countries has become unprecedentedly prosperous.

In addition, the operation of the port of Singapore is also very in-depth.

As a key point in the Strait of Malacca, Singapore is a forward base for entering the Indian Ocean, and is the focus of the Pacific Fleet's strategy. A large number of walled cities, deep-water docks, docks, warship repair points, grain storage warehouses, and ordnance storage warehouses were built.

It is a huge workload to ensure that all ports in Singapore can berth tens of thousands of warships with more than three masts for a long time. Singapore's NPC workers work day and night to build a port on the island, which is tens of kilometers in size.

By turning Singapore into a powerful maritime logistics base, the naval fleet of the Great Zhou Dynasty could smoothly advance into the Indian Ocean.

While the Pacific Fleet composed of players from Yan, Qi, Wu, Chu, Lu, and Wei was operating in Southeast Asia, players from Qin, Zhao, and Bashu were also making every effort to build roads on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to open up the road from Route 6 to Pakistan. The situation of the 6th road is simple, there are no enemies on the road, but the natural conditions are very bad, the cost of building the road is huge, and even tens of thousands of prisoners from Russian Siberia died due to accidents. With the cooperation of players in Qin, Zhao, and Bashu, the process of road construction is also smooth. Xining-Yushu-Qamdo-Lhasa, Chengdu-Ya'an-Qamdo-Lhasa, these two six routes have been opened, and the transportation lines of the Sixth Army have become much more convenient. After that, it continued from Lhasa to Kashmir and entered the state of Pakistan.

According to the news from the front, the situation in Pakistan is already very dangerous.

India, as the largest power in South Asia, has no rivals in this region, and has a huge deterrent effect on neighboring countries such as Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Bhutan, and Nepal.

The first Indian player to fight was Pakistan, and a few months ago, India and Pakistan started a national war, and the players of both sides fought in Kashmir, and the Indian players almost beat the Pakistani players out of breath and retreated. Large swaths of Pakistan's land were lost and fell into the hands of Indian players.

Although Chinese players are actively looking for ways to help Pakistani players, the road is far away and beyond the reach of the whip. Route 6 crosses the rugged Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and the sea route crosses the vast South China Sea and the Indian Ocean, neither of which can be easily achieved.

Until the arrival of the main fleet of the Chinese 6th Army Group and the Navy in Pakistan, it was simply impossible to stop the advance of the Indian player army in Pakistan.

However, fortunately, the players in India are also divided, belonging to different large player organizations and controlling, fighting with each other constantly, and have not fully formed a joint force to attack Pakistan, otherwise I am afraid that Pakistan has been wiped out and has become one of the countries that have been destroyed in "Empire".

After the Chinese Pacific Fleet took a foothold in Singapore, the more anxious the Indian players became. The Indian player's 6th Army is stronger, and the navy is still very weak, although it is much stronger than the surrounding small countries, but it is a cut below the Chinese fleet.

China's Pacific Fleet has seized control of the Strait of Malacca, and the next step is undoubtedly to enter the Indian Ocean. No matter what the Chinese fleet does after entering the Indian Ocean, whether it is coming to India or trying to do something else, it will seriously weaken the dominance of Indian players in the Indian Ocean.

As the stockpiles of strategic goods hoarded in warehouses in Singapore continue to grow, Indian players are feeling the pressure. Some of India's far-sighted player groups have given up on their attempts to annex Pakistan and are putting all their strength on desperately expanding their naval fleet, preparing for contingencies. The battle with Chinese players is the real hard battle that Indian players need to face.
