Chapter 77: Preparing for the Establishment of the Navy
Not long after the pandas finished cleaning up the battlefield, there was good news from several other teams that were chasing and killing smugglers.
Everyone was successful.
The system's new map marking function is really powerful, originally those smugglers thought that as long as they fled to the sea, the enemy would not be able to follow the traces to chase themselves, so they were a little careless, who knew that on the map of the traversers, the target they wanted to pursue was a big red dot, and even the coordinates were clear.
There is no obstacle in the vast sea, and since you know the enemy's position, even a fool can follow the direction to chase and kill.
Eventually, all four smuggling clippers were caught up. The smugglers of two ships chose to surrender, while the smugglers of the other two ships chose to resist to the end.
But there is no difference in such a choice.
Stubborn resistance to the end is naturally a dead end, and even if they surrender, Yunero does not mean to forgive them.
As one of the main people responsible for causing this war, the Smuggling Union Chamber of Commerce is bound to be severely punished by him. Those ordinary sailors, such as the captain and first mate of the ship, and the liaison officer of the Chamber of Commerce, etc., all belong to the ranks of "first offenders" or "main criminals". If Yune will not show mercy to their men, it will be a death sentence to resist or not!
As for the several smugglers behind them...... Of course, Yunero also wanted to chase and kill, but when Panda and the others interrogated the crew members of the smuggling ship who were caught, they found that this goal was probably impossible to achieve.
These chambers of commerce were all attacked by mysterious necromancers, and the leaders of the chambers of commerce died except for those who escaped, and they all died miserably, so miserable that even people who were full of anger couldn't help but sympathize with them.
The smuggling boats that were pursued by the pandas were almost the last strength of these chambers of commerce. They planned to fish in troubled waters in this war, make a lot of money, and then run away and find a place to make a comeback. Who knows, but it has become a death door, the real heaven has a way you don't go, and hell has no door to cast.
"So, the smugglers are completely wiped out?" A few days later, when all the pursuers had returned, and at the military meeting, Yunero touched his chin and asked, "We're done fighting?"
"It should be over. Lana said, "On the human pioneers' side, the Five Towns Alliance has also sent emissaries to express their submission - they mean, please ascend the throne as soon as possible, and then they will accept your canonization and become your lord." ”
"A king whose entire territory is an island?" Yunero smiled, "I am not worthy of such a shabby king!"
"So, when are you going to unify the entire Sea Dragon Islands?" asked Panda.
Yunero pondered for a moment and said, "I think I'll have to wait a little longer. For the next year or two, I'm ready to focus on development. On the one hand, it is necessary to accumulate population and food, and on the other hand, to train the navy - to unify the entire Sea Dragon Islands, a strong navy is indispensable. ”
"Actually, I don't think it matters if we don't have a navy, we have an air force anyway. Since it was a private meeting of his own people, Atlas did not use the Transformation Orb to look more human-like, but directly attended with the terrifying appearance of the griffons, "We are watching from the sky, your infantry is sweeping the ground, and you can sweep the entire Sea Dragon Islands without any navy!"
"If you just want to win a land war, maybe you can do without the navy. Yunero shook her head and said, "But if you want to firmly rule the entire Sea Dragon Islands, you still need to have a navy." ”
Everyone thought about it and nodded.
As he said, it is true that it is not necessary to simply pursue winning the war and occupying the land. However, in order to rule the entire Sea Dragon Islands, a large amount of sea transportation is required, and the transportation of food and various resources depends on navigation. Therefore, without a strong navy, the rule of this archipelago cannot be stable, at most it is like the so-called "rule" of the little devils during the Anti-Japanese War......
If Yune wants to build a stable and prosperous country, he must have a strong navy to maintain the coastal defense of the entire country, and ensure that the people of this country can live and work in peace and live a stable life.
For this, it doesn't hurt to wait a few more years. If you have food in your hand and don't panic, practice your internal skills and then break into the rivers and lakes, at least you don't need to rely on adventures or the author's opening at critical moments to win the battle.
After the meeting, this force, which can barely be regarded as the embryonic form of the country, set the general policy for the next few years.
As Younero said, in the next few years, their main goal is still two things - the first is to stabilize the rule of Longtou Island, use practical actions to reassure the people under them, and enhance cohesion and centripetal force; the second is to train the navy to prepare for the conquest of the entire Sea Dragon Islands and even the establishment of a solid national defense after the establishment of the country.
The former doesn't need to say much, at present, Longtou Island is still sparsely populated, as long as you work hard to produce more fields. The latter is a bit troublesome, and there are a lot of things to prepare.
Yune had no shortage of ships, and these naval battles brought him a large number of ships. Most of them are clippers that can be converted into warships, and in terms of physical conditions, they are enough to form at least two small and medium-sized fleets, which is already a sufficient naval force for an emerging country.
But the problem was that he lacked sailors, navy, admirals, navigator instructors...... In terms of talent, he lacks everything!
So after the meeting, Yunero summoned Sinbad, the navigator who had been recruited by the panda. The elite sailor, whose name is very similar to that of a protagonist in "One Thousand and One Nights", is not young, but still ambitious. During the conversation, they answered each other fluently, showing a wealth of nautical knowledge, which surprised everyone.
Satisfied with the answers, Younero appointed him deputy commander of one of the navy's two fleets, presiding over the planning and training. And made it clear that if after two years, the fleet behaves well and can meet his requirements, the word "deputy" at the front of the three words "deputy commander" will be removed.
Hearing that it was possible to become the commander of a naval fleet, Sinbad's eyes lit up with excitement, and he immediately patted his chest and promised that he would definitely seize the time to train, and when the time came, he would definitely come up with an excellent naval fleet, and he would never let His Majesty down!
Yunero encouraged him well, and then found the panda.
"Help me find another master navigator. He said, "I still don't have a fleet commander on my side." I don't force any gold or purple cards, even if you draw a blue card to make a transition. ”
The panda was speechless and asked, "Do you think I am a European? How can it be so easy to find a suitable navigator!"
"I think you're really lucky, and you have time to complain to me, so why don't you go and give it a try?" said Yunero with a smile, "I thought...... You're going to get a lot out of it!"
