243 Zhanjiang fleet went to the South Seas

"The main force of our Bohai Fleet is located at Tanggukou, Liaodong Peninsula and Shandong Peninsula in the Bohai Sea, and it is relatively easy to exert influence on North Korea and South Korea on the Korean Peninsula within hundreds of kilometers of sea area, but if you want to detour through the Korean Strait to Vladivostok in the Far East, you need to go through a route of more than 200 kilometers. Halfway through, it also passed through Busan and the Sea of Japan, which was easily intercepted by the Japanese fleet, and the safety of the fleet and logistical transportation routes could not be guaranteed. So it is difficult to take Vladivostok by sea. The best route of advance was to send troops from Jilin and Heilongjiang on Route 6 and directly attack the cities of Khabarovsk and Vladivostok in the Far East. ”

Qin Xiaobai explained to everyone, "However, this requires all the players in Liaoning, Heilongjiang, and Jilin provinces to become a whole in order to wield the advantage of troops. And it will take a lot of time to unify the three eastern provinces. ”

The Sword King said: "Boss, I think we still have enough time to complete this task, there are many of our brothers in the three eastern provinces." Japanese players could not take the Far East in a short time. Korean players are fighting against Japanese players in Kyushu, which can contain some of the energy of Japanese players and delay the time for Japanese players to open a second battlefield in East Asia and climb 6 Vladivostok. If the South Koreans are not strong enough, they can also mobilize the North Koreans to participate in the war. Of course, it is not ruled out that Japanese players will jump off the wall and start a war with South Korea and Russia at the same time. In this case, Japan's forces for the Far East will not be too much, at least about 30% 0% of the troops, and the time to take the Far East will be delayed. After the Japanese players send troops to the Far East, we will almost complete the unification of the three eastern provinces, and it is not impossible to drive the Japanese and Russians into the sea. As soon as we occupy the Far East, the power of the Russians will completely disappear in Asia, and the Japanese will not be able to get any resources from the Far Eastern Great 6. ”

The rest of the crowd said.

"Strike at Russia, Japan, and India in turn, the three Asian powers, and at the same time subdue all the remaining small countries in Asia. It is only then that an Asian order dominated by China has truly been established. ”

"Confine the Russian player's influence to Europe. You can consider joining forces with the Mongol players to march into Novosibirsk and drive all the Russian players to Moscow. ”

"Small countries in Asia can consider starting with Vietnam in Indochina."

"There's a lot to be said about how to build order in Asia."

Qin Xiaobai said solemnly: "The most important thing at the moment is to enhance our own strength. If only we could from the Bronze Age. If you quickly upgrade to the Iron Age, then the process of completing the unification will be greatly accelerated, and a great leap in strength will be completed. I think everyone has already experimented with iron-smelting technology, but no one has yet upgraded to the Iron Age to break through iron-smelting technology. What do you think? ”

His question immediately aroused the discussion of everyone present. Iron Age upgrade conditions have been bothering players for some time.

The Zhoushan Fleet's Great Territorial Sea Soul thought for a moment and said, "Boss, I have an opinion, could it be that the popularity of bronzes in the whole country is not enough, so it can't meet the conditions for upgrading." For example, the scope of a vassal state, or the entire country, is not skilled enough in bronze technology, and the number is not large enough to reach the critical point of the Bronze Age and the Iron Age. Unable to jump into the Iron Age? ”

Qin Xiaobai said: "Well, this possibility exists. The definition of the player tribe's entry into the Bronze Age is a bronze artifact that requires 30% of the tribe members to own. The bronze of the entire vassal kingdom is not level. It is possible to restrict entry into the Iron Age uh, just possible, it is not possible to confirm at this time. After all, any of our nine major vassal states has more than 3 million player tribes, and it is possible to consume 18 billion units of copper ore, and it is not easy to popularize bronze. Even in the most advanced bronze smelting city, the popularity of bronze is not high, let alone the entire vassal state. ”

The Sword King said: "There are some other possibilities, the social system and the productivity matching, etc., the Iron Age implements the imperial system. You need to test it to know. Unless we can test it with a very small micro-country. ”

"There are many small countries in Asia, but there are only three small countries in Brunei, Singapore, and Timor-Leste. Singapore has 300,000 players, Brunei has about 30,000 players, and Timor-Leste has nearly 60,000 players. Brunei is the closest to us, Singapore and Timor-Leste are a bit farther away. Aside from Brunei, there is probably no other country suitable for experimentation. ”

Qin Xiaobai nodded and said with a smile: "The closest to Brunei." It is the Zhanjiang fleet of the Chu Kingdom. Zhanjiang fleet ten days ago. Once in a dispute over the fishing grounds of the Gulf of Tonkin defeated the naval fleet of North Vietnam in the Gulf of Tonkin Gulf. Approximately 300 North Vietnam War ships were sunk and captured. This is the most significant battle between Chinese players and players from other surrounding countries so far. Let us applaud the leader of the Zhanjiang fleet, who is the pride of our wolf. ”

Qin Xiaobai applauded first, and everyone applauded and celebrated. In the warm applause of everyone, a dark-looking and silent middle-aged man stood up, nodded slightly to everyone, and then sat down, silent as always. Among the wolf smoke crowd, he does not stand out.

Qin Xiaobai asked: "Crazy Dragon, you are familiar with the power environment in the southeast, if you send troops to Brunei for experiments, are you sure?" ”

The dragon thought for a moment and said, "The strongest naval fleet in Indochina is the fleet of the Vietnamese player, and it is divided into North Vietnam and South Vietnam. The North Vietnamese fleet had lost most of its parts, and only a few remnants of the naval army remained, which would be difficult to recover in the short term. The fleet of South Vietnam did not dare to move lightly. With the exception of Vietnam, the other countries in the South China Sea do not have too strong naval fleets. There should be no problem for our Zhanjiang fleet to send troops to Brunei.

However, getting to Brunei requires crossing the entire South China Sea, about 2,000 kilometers by sea, with no supply ports and a very easy way to get lost at sea. Replenishment can only be carried out in South Vietnam or on the islands of the Philippines. I am afraid that South Vietnam may not agree to the supply of our fleet in their ports, so they can only go to the Philippines first and obtain supplies from the Philippines. From Zhanjiang to San Fernando in the Philippines, it is about 1,000 kilometers away. It is half the distance shorter than going directly to Brunei, and then along the islands of the Philippines, walk 1500 miles to Malaysia, and find the Kingdom of Brunei, so it is not easy to get lost. The total distance becomes about 2,500 km. The Zhanjiang fleet has more than 600 warships, some of which have been upgraded to brigs. It is very fast, and it takes about 5 days to go to Brunei and go smoothly.

But before that, there are two more issues that need to be addressed. First, the period during which the Zhanjiang fleet left Zhanjiang. Other brother fleets are needed to help defend the waters of Hainan, otherwise they are vulnerable to invasion by pirates and Vietnamese player ships. Second, in what name did the Zhanjiang fleet go to Brunei? How long does the Zhanjiang fleet stay in Brunei? ”

Qin Xiaobai thought about it for a moment and said, "The previous problem is easy to solve, go to Brunei to conduct the Iron Age experiment, and you can't bear the risk alone." It can be jointly funded by my Bohai Fleet, Ajiandi Qingdao Fleet, Sea Soul's Zhoushan Fleet, and other brothers along the coast, and even the brothers of Inner 6. Help you expand the size of the Zhanjiang fleet, double the number of ships, recruit twice as many NPC sailors, and bear the cost of the expedition together. After the expansion. Half of the more than 600 ships of the Zhanjiang fleet remained in Zhanjiang, and the other half of more than 600 ships went to Brunei.

As for the latter question, go to the name of Brunei. Hasn't Malaysia already declared war on Brunei and Singapore? Go to Brunei for protection in the name of the suzerain. In addition to sending a fleet directly, the battleship fleet also needs to bring some sailing ships and carry a large number of bronze weapons to support the Brunei players. Trade with the Philippines on the way and build a good relationship with players in the Philippines. After arriving in Brunei, he helped Brunei's two NPC vassal regimes achieve complete unification of the kingdom and imported a large amount of military supplies. Defend against the invasion of Malaysian players and experiment with iron-smelting technology. The Zhanjiang Fleet remained in Brunei to garrison and establish our first ocean-going military base on an island in Southeast Asia. Paving the way for us to establish a broader sphere of influence in Southeast Asia in the future. And the results of this expedition, such as the opening of the sea trade route to Southeast Asia and the technology of iron smelting, were also shared by all the members of the wolf's smoke, what do you think? ”

The dragon nodded. The members of the wolf smoke jointly funded the expansion of the Zhanjiang fleet. The benefits for the Zhanjiang fleet are obvious. With the boss's plan, even if this expedition did not obtain iron technology. At the very least, it has also opened up business and trade ties with Southeast Asian countries, which has also benefited greatly.

He said: "Okay, I will take out all the warships in stock, and the brothers along the coast will support some of my warships, so I can carry out a cross-sea expedition in the shortest possible time." ”

The group discussed in detail the plan for capital contribution, the plan for expanding the fleet, and the plan for sharing interests, and the matter of sending troops to Brunei was decided.

Qin Xiaobai once seriously planned to make the Korean Peninsula and South Korea temporarily unify, but he personally went to these two countries to conduct on-the-spot investigations, and also let the General Staff of the place responsible for the bloody murder collect a large amount of North and South Korean intelligence, and carried out repeated planning.

Regardless of whether it is the use of legitimate means, in the name of jointly confronting Japan, the DPRK and the ROK will be temporarily reunified. It is difficult to use trickery to deceive the royal families of the two countries for temporary reunification. Pyongyang is so divided that players from outside the country can't even go to Pyongyang, let alone meet Pyongyang's NPC king. South Korea and North Korea on the Korean Peninsula have a total player population of more than 2.5 million, and the number of NPCs is innumerable, and any means of force requires a great price - and this is exactly what Qin Xiaobai is not willing to pay. Moreover, he needs North and South Korea to concentrate their forces on fighting Japan, and not to fight each other and not to cause trouble.

After a circle, I was forced to focus on Brunei, the smallest country in Southeast Asia. The Bohai Fleet is more than 4,000 kilometers away from Brunei, so it can only be done by the nearest Zhanjiang fleet. The results are shared by the members of the Wolf Smoke Organization.

In fact, Singapore is also the object of Qin Xiaobai's consideration, but Singapore's strength is much stronger, and it did not immediately ask other countries for help under the invasion of Malaysia. Naturally, the Zhanjiang fleet did not take the initiative to help Singapore for no reason. Brunei, on the other hand, has sent a distress message and urgently needs help from other neighboring countries to avoid being annexed by Malaysia.

After discussing these matters, the members of Wolf Smoke coordinated the issues of internal 6 and coastal military coordination. Try to ensure that members can support each other quickly in various ways and do not fall into isolation. As well as the distribution of spheres of influence, the direction of expansion, and the avoidance of too "concentrated and crowded" territory among members.

The second meeting of the wolf smoke ended.

On May 22, after intense expedition preparations, the Zhanjiang Fleet formed a huge fleet of 600 top-level heavy fighting ships and more than 600 commercial sailing ships, openly pretending that "the Zhanjiang Fleet under the jurisdiction of the Chu Kingdom of the Zhou Dynasty", "carry out maritime trade in Southeast Asia, and maintain the peaceful and maritime order of Southeast Asia", "strictly prohibit the big countries from bullying and oppressing small countries and destroying the country, and other crooked and unhealthy practices, carry forward the spirit of eight honors and eight shames, establish a correct outlook on life and value orientation, and clearly recognize that violence cannot solve any practical problems. Only by strengthening peace education can we solve practical problems", and officially set off for the Philippines, Malaysia, and Brunei.

The attitude of the Zhanjiang fleet towards the Three Kingdoms was different.

Befriend Filipino players.

Ordered Malaysian players to immediately stop the invasion of Brunei, and if they don't stop, then one word - fight. If you don't change it after repeated "teaching", you will be convinced. Only by strengthening the concept of education can we establish a correct value orientation for the countries of Southeast Asia and clearly understand that it is wrong to solve problems by violence, and that taking the educational line is the right way.

For Brunei, it is to strive for an alliance with Brunei, and the fleet will be stationed in Brunei for a long time to ensure that Brunei will not be annexed by other countries. Logistical supplies, such as food, water, etc., should be obtained locally in Southeast Asia as much as possible. The cargo of a large number of merchant ships accompanying the Zhanjiang fleet is used to exchange logistics and supplies with local players in Southeast Asia, which can solve the supply problem of the Zhanjiang fleet for at least one or two months, without the need for frequent transportation and replenishment from Zhanjiang.

In addition to carrying a large number of bronzes for trade, there are also some special "things" - twenty blacksmiths with 0.99% proficiency in iron smelting, who are scattered among different ships to reduce the risk of the collective death of NPC craftsmen due to the sinking of ships in the sea. There are even several blacksmith heroes among them who can be resurrected even after death. Upon arrival in Brunei, they will join a number of Chinese players to become Bruneian citizens. After the NPC king of Brunei ascended the throne and became emperor and broke through 1% of the iron technology, they restored the nationality of the Chu Kingdom, returned to China in batches and ships, and handed over to the various members of Langyan.

The cost of this expedition was extremely high, and the risk was very high, maybe a major ocean storm would reimburse the entire fleet, but it was borne by all 105 members of the wolf, and the burden was not high relative to everyone, only about 1% of the cost of the expedition, about 12 ships. With the financial resources of each member of Wolf Smoke, it is relatively easy to bear this expense.
