376, does Aiqing have a countermeasure?
The whole exchange meeting ended harmoniously on the surface.
However, the news that came out caused a turbulent undercurrent in most of the Twin Moon Islands.
The local admirals, in the message conveyed by Nanchang, felt a fundamental threat.
They knew they had to do everything in their power to prevent the worst from happening.
It is calm now, only because it is not completely certain whether the Nanchang and Liaoning fleets will continue to stay.
It is uncertain if they will interfere further with the structure of the archipelago.
They had the last glimmer of hope.
The strength of the Blue Feather Fleet in the battle made the local admirals worried, and the first reaction of most of them was not to directly clash with them.
They patiently urged their ship's mother to leave the Qingyu, and then invariably issued a gag order, and today they got all the information and banned it.
At the same time, they were asked not to have any contact with the Nanchang group in the future.
Although I know that it may not be useful to do this, as long as the distance is not too far, the ship mother can communicate directly through the radio, but this attitude still has to be expressed.
Then the Admirals began to connect, to get together, to exchange information, and to discuss how to respond to the incident.
The emperor in the palace also convened several of his close ministers to discuss countermeasures.
In addition to a few ministers of military aircraft who were in charge of daily auxiliary government affairs, Honglu Siqing, who had received Shenzhen and Nanchang and his entourage, and Yan Zheng, the commander of the coastal defense fleet, were also summoned.
As soon as the emperor came up, he asked directly:
"Honglu Siqing, I remember you said at the beginning that they had no intention of returning to their roots, and they didn't care much about the affairs in the bay, but now it doesn't seem to be like this."
What the emperor said was neither light nor heavy, but Honglu Siqing knelt down directly:
"The ministers are afraid, they really didn't have this tendency at the beginning, maybe they found that the imperial naval defense was weak after visiting the governor's mansions in various places, so they had bad intentions."
The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly:
"In that case, does Honglu Temple Qing have a way to deal with it?"
Honglu Siqing's forehead was slightly sweaty:
"Old minister...... The old minister is not good at military affairs......"
The emperor didn't think about what Honglu Siqing had any opinions, but he just deliberately knocked him, and when he heard this answer, he directly snorted coldly and turned to the others:
"How many Aiqing do you have a countermeasure?"
Hearing the emperor ask, after thinking about it, he knelt down and said:
"Your Majesty, Wechen believes that although their fleet is strong, it is scarce in number, and it has no foundation in the local area, and the resources it carries are limited, so it must not be durable to fight for a long time.
"Wechen implores His Majesty to issue an edict ordering the governor's mansion not to provide supplies or treatment for him.
"Their great rebellion has been known to all the Admirals' Mansions, and they must obey His Majesty's orders.
"The imperial court and the Admiral's Mansion have drawn a line with it and have no dealings with it, and when their resources are exhausted, they will naturally retreat without a fight."
The Emperor nodded slightly.
Everyone understands in their hearts that although the Admiral's Mansion is independent, Nanchang's remarks are aimed at the entire emperor-Admiral's class.
So at this time, the emperor was in the same camp as the other admirals.
At this time, the emperor issued a holy decree against the Nanchang fleet, and the various admirals would definitely obey the order.
This approach can not only force away the Nanchang fleet, but also improve the prestige of the imperial court to a certain extent.
The emperor felt that Yan Zheng's idea was very good, and was about to let the Minister of Military Aircraft draft a decree, and the Minister of Military Aircraft next to him knelt down first:
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that although what Lord Yan said is reasonable, it is not the best policy, and the minister thinks that Nanchang and its fleet are not impossible to use for the imperial court."
Yan Zheng couldn't help but ask:
"How can such a kingless person be used by the imperial court?"
When the emperor listened, he was also a little surprised in his heart, but his expression did not change, he first waved his hand to signal Yan Zheng not to speak, and asked the Minister of Military Aircraft:
"Why did Aiqing say this?"
The Minister of Military Aircraft hurriedly threw up his hand and said:
"Your Majesty, as Lord Yan said, he has come from afar and has limited resources, so we can use strategies to make it fight with the Admiralty's Mansion.
"When its resources were exhausted, the hull of the ship was injured, and there was nowhere to repair it, the imperial court secretly intervened and ordered it to obey the orders of the imperial court on the condition of supply and repair.
"From now on, as long as the supply of resources is strictly controlled, they are marionettes, which can be used to continue to conquer and consume the strength of the various governors' offices.
"Under the elimination of one and the other, the prestige of the imperial court will surely increase day by day......"
The emperor's eyes gradually lit up as he listened.
If this strategy can be implemented, then the imperial court will have an invincible sharp knife in its hands.
Although there is a danger of backlash, once it is used well, the benefits are also very numerous.
It is not impossible to reunite the archipelago and restore the former glory of the empire!
The emperor couldn't help but nodded seriously:
"Okay, what Aiqing said is very agreeable, how to implement it, you can explain it in detail!"
Yan Zheng next to him listened and couldn't help but remind:
"Your Majesty, no, they have lived overseas for a long time, and they don't have the slightest discipline in their hearts, if this plan goes wrong, it can make the court fall into a place of no return!"
The Minister of Military Aircraft next to him immediately said-for-tat:
"Lord Yan's words are wrong, there is no absolutely complete strategy in the world, as the so-called wealth and danger are sought, and the other party only has a few large ships, only at sea can they take advantage, and they will never dare to go ashore.
"Once it is confirmed that the other party has an objection, as long as the imperial court cuts off the supply of resources, and then calls on the Admiral's Mansion that is its enemy to besiege it together, although its combat power is strong, can it really defeat one enemy?"
Yan Zheng asked rhetorically again:
"But this is just one of their exploration fleets in the Headquarters, and if the other fleets of their Command come to the Empire for revenge, how are we going to deal with it?"
The Minister of Military Aircraft immediately said:
"Their mainland is twenty-five thousand kilometers away, which is far beyond the maximum range of ordinary means of communication, and it is impossible for their exploration fleet to communicate with the mainland.
"Their exploration fleet is controlled by us, or wiped out, and their home command will only think that the fleet has encountered a large force of deep sea overseas and sunk."
Yan Zheng still felt that he couldn't take the risk, but the emperor had already approved the statement of the Minister of Military Aircraft in his heart:
"The rise and fall of the empire, in this move, I have made up my mind, Yan Aiqing does not need to say much."
Yan Zheng looked at the emperor's reaction, so he could only secretly exhale, no longer speak, and watched the Minister of Military Aircraft discuss the details of the operation with the emperor.
Meanwhile.
In a governor's palace, an old admiral in his sixties wears a white naval officer's dress.
With a gloomy face, he walked back and forth in the room several times, suddenly stopped, looked at the ship's mother next to the solid wood table in the middle of the room in a daze, and said:
"Do we need to speed up the plan now, or do we stop it now and adjust the strategic direction?"
The ship's mother leaned lazily on the chair and poured tea unhurriedly:
"If this so-called fleet of the Chinese Navy Command really supports them, do you think that with what you have done over the years, even if you stop now, they will not retaliate?"
The old admiral suddenly understood, and straightened his waist suddenly:
"I see, I'll do it right away."
This shipgirl took a sip of tea:
"Don't worry, they have reinforcements, and we don't have nothing, count the days, they should also arrive."
"The battleships of this command, with only 380 mm guns at most, are not at all to be feared."
