In the pod of the Monarch airship, not only Xia Qi, but Jin Ming was also present.

One thing to say, Jin Ming's siege buff is really easy to use, and their double buffs will be superimposed when the time comes, and the siege will be absolutely invincible.

However, before arriving at the battlefield, they were tired of seeing this superb view in the air, and soon fell into a state of boredom.

The two chatted and chatted, and then talked about government affairs.

"Speaking of which, over the years, the development of your goblin administrative region has been a bit slow?"

"Ah......h

A certain goblin king who takes being a salted fish and eating and waiting for death as the highest ideal in his life, does not touch fish on weekdays, but now when he heard Xia Qi mention this, a touch of emptiness instantly appeared on his face.

"It's... Well, Your Majesty, I just returned from an expedition to Siam two years ago. ”

"So?"

"It's inevitable that it will take a little time, so let's relax."

Looking at Jin Ming, who had a weak face, Xia Qi was also speechless in his heart, and finally sighed and slowly spoke: "I'll leave the goblin administrative area under your control, even if you want to touch the fish, pay attention to me, don't delay the business." Look at King Arthur and the Romanovs, how well they govern the elven and dwarven districts, you fish in troubled waters all day long. ”

"How bad is it that your assistant has written reports to impeach you every now and then, and has accused you of increasing their workload with a handful of snot and tears? I have a headache too. ”

Jin Ming, who heard this, suddenly realized that there were two or five boys who betrayed himself behind his back.

With this thought rising, Jin Ming just wanted to think about whether to double or triple the workload of his assistant officer after he went back, when he suddenly realized something, and his expression was obviously stunned.

"Wait, impeachment?"

At this moment, Jin Ming's spirit, who finally reacted, was obviously lifted!

"Your Majesty, please allow the old minister to sue the old ......"

"Rejected."

Jin Ming: ......

Before Jin Ming could finish speaking, Xia Qi, who already knew what this thing was thinking, directly rejected it at the speed of light, and then showed a tired expression.

Originally, according to the times, the development efficiency of the goblin administrative region that focuses on the development of science and technology in this era should be fast enough to fly directly.

But Jin Ming's goods, every once in a while, they don't do their jobs and fish in troubled waters!

Although, with the blessing of his goblin king's talent buff, even if he doesn't do anything and stays in the goblin administrative district, the work efficiency of all goblins in the goblin administrative district governed by him will increase by 55% of the current full value.

But obviously, Xia Qi is still not satisfied with this speed.

Just took advantage of this opportunity to assign an indicator to Jin Ming, and after this expedition was over, it began to be implemented.

If he didn't meet the standard, he didn't have to do any punishment projects, Xia Qi directly said that he would move his desk from the municipality directly under the central government of the Goblin Administrative Region to the Council Palace.

At that time, Jin Mingke will have to work under his nose.

Jin Ming, who heard this, could be said to have shivered on the spot.

Working under the nose of Xia Qi, a workaholic, can you still live this life?

This feeling is like being in the same office with the company's CEO, how can this be a pleasant fishing?

Look at the secretary's office directly under Xia Qi, but it is notoriously explosive, and there are twenty-four assistant secretaries in it to assist in handling the reports sent from various cities in Great Xia, but even so, it is still busy every day.

It is no exaggeration to say that the living environment of the Service Hall is simply hell for Jin Ming, who wants to be a salted fish!

In order to prevent his desk from being transferred to that overtime hell, at this time, even Jin Ming couldn't help but secretly swear in his heart that after returning from this trip, he would definitely take his work seriously.

waved Jin Ming away, and Xia Qi lay on the seat to rest.

Xia Qi moved his body, adjusted a comfortable posture, and began to brush up the development panel in front of him.

Sometimes, even he has to admit that he may really be a workaholic and completely idle.

The continuous conquest some time ago allowed Xia Qi to brush up on a considerable amount of military points, and in the current situation, since he has military points in his hand, he must use them.

At this time, Xia Qi was studying the military panel of his own civilization, and by the way, he added a point.

In the battle for a period of time in the future, the combat power of the navy is extremely important, so his wave of points is mainly focused on the navy.

As a result, a high-level naval project that was suddenly unlocked made Xia Qi fall into a deep entanglement.

Armada (Level 0): In a civilization, the total displacement of the naval fleet reaches more than one million tons, and at the same time, if it has at least five warships with a displacement of more than 60,000 tons and twenty warships with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons, the comprehensive combat effectiveness of the naval fleet will be increased by 100%!

The doubling of the comprehensive combat power buff looked very tempting, but the pre-requirement to trigger the buff made Xia Qi feel a headache.

How much does it cost to raise a fleet with a total displacement of more than a million tons?

His finance minister is probably going to hang himself!

Not to mention, there are further requirements in this pre-requisite, the displacement can reach more than 60,000 tons, which are all super warships, mobile fortresses on the sea!

In fact, even the main flagship of their South China Sea Fleet, the battleship War, had a displacement of just over 50,000 tons.

In other words, this "Invincible Armada" project, even if he unlocks and upgrades, he can't trigger the buff, which is equivalent to useless. This couldn't help but make Xia Qi wonder if he had chosen the wrong branch before.

Unlocking and upgrading all the way, there must be branch lines, but according to his character, he has always pointed a line to the end first, and priority is given to unlocking advanced items.

After all, high-level projects are generally awesome, and Xia Qi has long had a deep understanding of this.

It turns out that the buff of "Invincible Armada" is awesome, but this pre-requirement is simply forcing him to go bankrupt!

What's going on?

Subsequently, Xia Qi pulled the development page of the military panel back, intending to find the first few branch lines.

After some tossing, he finally got two naval battle buffs and a damage management buff for his own sea fleet.

The two naval combat buffs are easy to understand, and in simple terms, they increase the combat effectiveness of naval battles.

As for the damage management buff, it is used to improve the efficiency of the damage management team on each warship.

For a battleship, a good damage management team is very important.

Some warships sank after a single torpedo shot, while some warships did not sink after a dozen torpedo shots, and this did not depend entirely on the thick armor and luck of the battleships.

In some cases, the thickness of the battleship's armor and luck naturally took up part of the reason, but there was also a large part of the reason, thanks to the timely control of the damage management team! Therefore, improving the work efficiency of the damage management team is, to a large extent, equivalent to improving the continuous combat capability of a warship in naval warfare in disguise.

The unlocking of these items made Xia Qi more clearly aware that he might have really chosen the wrong branch before, and before there was a fleet of sufficient scale and tonnage, this branch line next to it was a more suitable upgrade route.

Of course, the current fleet size of Great Xia is definitely not small.

Looking at the entire Silver Rank, it is a question of whether there are players who can meet the requirements of "Invincible Armada".

This wave of military points allowed him to unlock the advanced items that were supposed to be unlocked at the next rank, but it turned out that it was useless to unlock them.

At the same time, for these two branch lines, Xia Qi also has a number in his heart.

The "Invincible Armada" article is clearly a fleet-level buff, once unlocked, on the premise of meeting the requirements, all warships in the civilization will benefit.

The other is a project that increases individual warship units, although the bonus range is only 10%, 20%, and 30%, but there is basically no trigger requirement, and it belongs to the kind that can be effective by upgrading.

Although I found something to do for myself, it is undeniable that compared with this long journey, that little thing was really done quickly.

Above the clouds, the Monarch airship flew unhurriedly.

And under the clouds, in the vast sea area, the expeditionary fleet led by Lieutenant Commander Tang Han of the Navy also officially approached the sea border line of Yamamoto 7 by 8 after a long journey.

However, at a glance, there is no trace of the Sakura Cruiser on the border line of this sea area.

This situation did not surprise him, Xia Qi's airship was not all used as a means of transportation, and he often carried out reconnaissance missions along the way.

Therefore, he already knew the situation in this sea area.

Due to the ravages of the fish-man troops, Yamamoto's seven-by-eight sea cordon was forcibly retracted more than a large circle.

Thus, when their expeditionary fleet crossed the border, Yamamoto's seven-by-eight cruiser fleet did not appear, but the Fish-Man soldiers stopped them in their path.

Seeing the Europa flag and livery on the steel battleship, the fish people in the water did not attack directly.

In this regard, the expeditionary fleet, which had long been mentally prepared, also behaved with extraordinary composure.

At this moment, the fishman who broke through the sea and appeared was obviously not small.

However, there is never a shortage of large men among the Fishmen, and for the Fishmen, those under ten meters are considered to be of normal size.

According to this standard, the visual body size should be at the level of seven or eight meters, and this fishman is obviously also an ordinary fishman.

The size is ordinary, but his identity is obviously not ordinary, looking like that, he should be an officer in the Fish-Man Army.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he directly asked to meet the supreme commander of their fleet by name.

The tone is not very impulsive, but it is far from kind.

After all, William Mousse's position in the Europa Alliance is there, and under this premise, the fish-man soldiers under his command naturally don't need to be too polite to other Europa troops.

Tang Han, who confirmed the situation at the first time, calmly glanced at the adjutant beside him.

That's right, the person in charge of impersonating him also happens to be his adjutant, Navy Captain Beckham.
