"Your Highness, if you want to build a strong navy, you not only need funds, personnel, but also technology is indispensable, if you want to gain a firm foothold in the Great South Sea, small and medium-sized ships can only play an auxiliary role, and the main ships that really support a large fleet are large warships, without large warships everything is in the air, let alone want to dominate the sea. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Lei Cangpu did not directly answer Wu Feng's question, he knew that although his master was eager to build a strong navy as soon as possible, he felt that he first needed to introduce the basic situation of several major naval powers on the Eastern Continent to His Royal Highness King Qin, so that His Royal Highness King Qin could clarify what kind of level his navy needed to reach and what its main strategic intentions were.

"The only people in the Eastern Continent who can build large warships are the Empire and the Kingdom of Milan, and now the Wa people have also obtained the technology of building large warships through special channels, according to the intelligence and observations we have obtained, the technology of the Wa people to build large warships should be from the Empire, which is almost exactly the same as the large warships of the Empire, but the Wa people have also added some of their own improved technology, making their large warships more aggressive. ”

"On the Great South Sea, the South Sea Alliance is also actively developing its own naval army, due to technical limitations, although the countries of the South Sea Alliance have invested a lot of money in research, but have not been able to make an effective breakthrough, so they have to spend a lot of money to buy large military ships from the Kingdom of Milan, and now several major maritime states and countries of the South Sea Alliance have more than three large military ships, of which the Siam Kingdom has seven large military ships, even more than the traditional three maritime powers of the Great South Sea, the Kingdom of Milan, the Grand Duchy of Mahad, The Principality of Andáco in the Principality of Andáco is equal to the number of large warships owned by the Grand Duchy of Mahad, and if you add up the number of large warships of the entire Nanyang Alliance countries, the naval strength of the Nanyang Alliance even exceeds that of the Kingdom of Milan, so now the Kingdom of Milan has stopped exporting large warships to the Nanyang Alliance and is constantly strengthening its naval strength. ”

"And the imperial naval strength was originally second to none in the entire Eastern Continent, several fleets have as many as thirty large warships, which is beyond the reach of any country or force, but due to the outbreak of the imperial civil war, the imperial water power has also quickly split into two parts, what is even more distressing is that the water power mastered by Situ Tai and the water power mastered by Situ Yuan had a fierce battle, although Situ Tai's side won the victory, but also paid an extremely heavy price, so that it was ambushed by the Japanese people, and the entire sea power was almost wiped out, and now only the remnants of the Third Navy Fleet still have two large military ships docked in Quanzhou。 And now all parties within the empire pay more attention to the competition for land territory, so they almost adopt a policy of abandoning the naval forces, and there is no plan to rebuild the imperial naval forces at all, so the imperial naval forces are almost negligible now. ”

"Therefore, the naval power in the Great Eastern Ocean is now Milan and the Japanese are in a state of confrontation, and in the Great South Ocean, because the main force of the Milanese is contained by the Japanese people, the maritime strategy of Mahad and Andako has always been based on defense, so although the strength is not weak, in general, it is still dominated by the navy of the South Sea Alliance. ”

"Your Highness asked Cangpu how to form a powerful navy, and Cangpu didn't dare to answer rashly, because Cangpu first asked His Highness what kind of navy he was going to build the Western Frontier Navy into? Is it enough to be able to control shipping lines in the Great South Sea? Or is it enough to build a navy that can dominate the Great Eastern Ocean and the Great South Ocean?" When he said this, Lei Cangpu's eyes lit up, and his voice gradually became higher.

Wu Feng's gaze fell fixedly on the bronze man's face, Lei Cangpu looked back at the other party fearlessly, for a long time, Wu Feng also laughed loudly, and then waved his hand heavily on the other party's shoulder, and said loudly: "Good question, what kind of navy is it? ! When I was studying in the Western Continent, I once heard a famous saying that circulated in the Baltic coastal countries, there is no second navy! I deeply think so, this is also my Cangpu your answer. Maybe our navy is still in its infancy and will encounter a lot of difficulties, but remember, what I want Li Wufeng is a navy that can be invincible across the seas, not a navy that was formed for any strategic purpose, and its goals and requirements are the first-class in the entire continent, not just the eastern continent! No matter what you need, just put it forward, don't worry about the funds, I will tell James, the Western Xinjiang Finance Department will give unreserved support to the navy; personnel, whether it is the army, the political axe system or the academy, Xiao Tang and Ling Tianfang will give you the green light, you can give unconditional priority to the selection, and the selected personnel must obey unconditionally; as for the technical aspect, the large military ship manufacturing technology you mentioned, I will arrange for someone to send you the large military ship manufacturing drawings of the Imperial Navy and the Milan Navy in the shortest possible time!"

Li Wufeng's wild and domineering answer hit Lei Cangpu's heart like a rolling tide of anger, at this time he only felt the urge to look up to the sky and howl in his throat, he didn't expect that His Royal Highness the King of Qin, who had just stepped on the coastline from the inland, would be able to say such a thing, there is no second in the navy! In this case, what else is there to hide and not be able to open up?

"Your Highness, since the words have been said to this point, there are no superfluous words in the garden, but in addition to funds, personnel and technology, naval construction is also a long-term process, which takes time to gradually sharpen and accumulate, so please don't expect too much to see much in a short period of time. In addition, Cangpu suggested following the example of the naval power of the western continent and establishing a special naval training school, in addition to training qualified sailors and sailors, it is more important to train a group of qualified naval officers, only in this way can we ensure the long-term sustainability of naval construction and build a high-quality navy. Lei Cangpu tried his best to suppress the surging tide, but he was so excited that he turned slightly pale and his face revealed what he was thinking.

Wu Feng once again looked at the young man in front of him who was born in the untouchables because of the other party's proposal to establish a naval officer school, such a forward-looking proposal that even Wu Feng himself had not thought of, but the other party was able to put it forward at the first time, and the other party even knew that the naval power of the Western Continent already had such a precedent, which could not help but surprise Wu Feng.

Seeing Wu Feng's surprised and suspicious gaze, Lei Cangpu, who licked his lips, had to explain that he had traveled to the Western Continent a few years ago to investigate, and had witnessed the non-commissioned officers and cadets who graduated from the Naval Academy entering the naval fleet and becoming the mainstream of the Navy, and the incomparable strength of the Western Continent's naval force also proved that this measure was extremely advanced and correct.

In view of the fact that the mixed use of the East Samoa Naval Fleet's garrison and commercial ports is not conducive to the construction of a strong and efficient large naval fleet, at the suggestion of Lei Cangpu, who had already been designated as the commander of the Navy by Wu Feng, Wu Feng agreed to the plan of choosing a new large military port in a bay ten miles away from the commercial port area of East Samoa, and the berthing wharf that originally belonged to the naval fleet was auctioned by public bidding, and the auction proceeds became the first funds for the formation of the Navy of the Western Xinjiang Metropolitan Protectorate, and all the funds for the new military port were fully allocated by the Finance Department of the Western Xinjiang Metropolitan Protectorate。

This auction plan was revealed by Wu Feng at a reception to celebrate the establishment of the Governor's Office of the Dominion of the South China Sea, and immediately attracted the watchful eyes of the industrial and commercial aristocrats of Eastern Samoa and even Moro and Legon. The dedicated wharf of the former Naval Fleet of the Republic of Cities of Eastern Samoa is located at the heart of the port area of Eastern Samoa, and due to defense needs, other commercial wharves are deliberately separated from military wharves to ensure that the naval fleet can leave the port as quickly as possible in the event of war. Such an excellent location of the wharf area not only has a deep draft, a wide area, a wide view of the sea area, and more importantly, the wharf area and the urban area are connected by special roads in good condition, if it is converted to civil use, it is really a rare feng shui treasure. According to the agreement reached with the local industrial and commercial forces, all military and diplomatic affairs were handled by the Western Xinjiang Metropolitan Protectorate, and the Dominion Council had no right to intervene, and the auction of this military dock naturally became a military category, which was directly handled by the Western Xinjiang Military Affairs Administration and the Western Xinjiang Finance Department.

For a time, the temporary office of the Western Xinjiang Financial Secretary in Eastern Samoa was crowded, and Kong Yunzhen, the deputy director of the Western Xinjiang Financial Department, who was sent by James to help supervise the operation of financial affairs, immediately became a hot celebrity in the South China Sea Autonomous Territory, and everyone hoped to win the favor of the deputy director, who was in charge of the auction and the construction of the military port, so that he could win the contract in the wharf auction and the construction of the military port.

However, Wu Feng had already thought too much about these details at this time, and the preparation for the construction of the navy had become the top priority in his heart, and even the plot of Zhongyuan was temporarily put in the back of his mind. On December 19, 698 in the mainland calendar, just a few days after the establishment of the South China Sea Dominion was announced, the new construction project of the East Samoa military port of the Western Xinjiang Navy was officially launched. When a large number of craftsmen in the Yuhang and Dengzhou dockyards were in difficulty in making ends meet due to the interruption of orders from the Imperial Navy and the ban on the sea, many skilled craftsmen from the Western Xinjiang were attracted by the heavy remuneration and dragged their children and daughters to Eastern Samoa.
