Manila and Hainan Island are separated by the entire South China Sea, and there are no supply points available in between, so wouldn't it be too risky to launch an offensive against Manila?" Ning Qidang even objected to Yan Chujie's opinion.

In the past two years, Haihan has focused most of its energy on opening up the northern route of the Ming Dynasty, and its expansion to the south has only focused on the development of Sing Island and Bangka Belitung Islands. As for the Philippine Islands, which were controlled by the Spaniards, Haihan only sent a small number of intelligence officers to the local islands to lurk, and did not take real military measures to contain or attack them.

On the contrary, it is precisely because Haihan is quite jealous of Spain and does not want to further intensify the existing contradictions, and in the short term, he has no intention of expanding the control zone in the Pacific direction, so there is no need to forcibly establish a strong enemy for himself in the east. In the long run, the two sides are indeed rivals, but Haihan at least has no plans to take the initiative to take a military action against Manila.

In terms of the nature of this war, it is indeed reasonable for Haihan, as the victor, to take some retaliatory measures against the Manila authorities, but at this time, we also have to take into account the limitations of the objective environment, Haihan is not familiar with the geographical environment of the Philippine Islands, and the risk of carrying out this kind of long-distance cross-sea operation will also be considerable, and as far as the current state of preparation is concerned, I am afraid that it is not much different from the Spaniards who came to attack Sanya blindfolded. Therefore, Ning Qi thought that the military's attitude was too radical and hurriedly spoke out against it.

Yan Chujie said: "No, no, no, you listen to me first, what I said is to promote peace, not specifically to attack Manila, but to carry out operations at sea to limit the range of activities of Spanish ships." As long as they could cut off their commercial routes from north to south, the Spaniards would soon be overwhelmed. ”

Ning Qi said: "The problem is that these sea routes are not so easy to cut off, how many fleets do we have to send to the far sea to carry out this kind of mission? Does our fleet have sufficient combat endurance? If we need the fleet to cruise the sea for a long time to carry out the blockade mission, how can we maintain such a long supply line?"

Ningqi's series of problems are basically to the point: the straight-line distance between Manila and Hainan Island is more than 700 nautical miles, and the distance between Haihan's overseas controlled colonies is rarely more than 500 nautical miles, which is even more than the distance between the two overseas bases in Zhoushan, Zhejiang, and Zhifu Island in Shandong. Except for a few small islands and reefs in the South China Sea, there is basically no large land area to be seen, and long-term cruising at sea will indeed face problems in terms of supply.

Spain's plan to attack Sanya this time was also limited by this objective condition, so it tried to use the tactics of quick victory, but in the end it was still unsuccessful. And if Haihan wants to find another way to engage in a protracted war, he will only face a more difficult supply problem than his opponent.

As the Minister of Defense of Haihan, Yan Chujie has commanded quite a lot of large and small battles in the past eight years, and with his combat experience, can he not consider such a superficial problem?
