A meeting of officers at and above the battalion level of the Chaguang Army was held in Tang Zheng's official residence.

Compared to the previous situation when the number of people was small, this time there are many more people.

Except for the five regiments guarding the barracks base, the remaining four field regiments are all here.

There was also a city guard regiment, two armored battalions, two artillery battalions.

An army aviation battalion, a battalion directly under it, a special service, a military intelligence bureau, two special combat teams, and an inland water army.

In addition, there is a guard company that has always been by Tang Zheng's side, as well as scientific research institutes, operational command centers, and internal affairs departments that have a large number.

Dozens of battalion-level officers are here, and many of them have lost their names.

After everyone was seated, this time it was Tang Zheng who personally presided over the meeting.

"Everyone has arrived, the current situation, you don't need me to say more, you are also clear, the Hanyue Empire has almost become history, although the royal army is still there, but in fact, the royal family currently occupies less than one-tenth of the land area of Hanyue, and has declined to the lowest point in history."

"And we have not been spared, and it has become an excuse for those people to be independent."

"Here, I want to say that those people chose the wrong excuse and object, they can use me Tang Zheng as an excuse today, then don't blame me for using this reason to fight back against them in the future."

"The problem before us now is that the region where we are located has already controlled our development, at least here, our navy will never be able to build, at most it will build some inland water army."

"So we have to go out, in the direction of the coast, the purpose of this meeting today is where are we going, Xiaowei, open the map."

Ning Yuwei opened the electronic map, this time it was a map of the entire territory of Han Yue.

The map is divided into several pieces and colored with different colors.

Each color is a country that has declared independence at the moment, and there are now seven independent states.

In addition, there is part of Li Wuwu's control area, part of Tang Zheng's control area, as well as the Pearl Islands in the Great East Ocean, and the Baisha Islands in the southern blue sea.

Tang Zheng stood up, pointed to the map and said, "The only places we can go to at present are near the ocean, and according to the division of forces, there are about five such places. ”

"The first place is the territory of the Dayan Empire established by Chen Hongchang, which covers all the coastal waters in the eastern part of the Han Yue, including the inner bay and the entire western part of the Storm Sea."

"The second place is the southeast region, which was originally the headquarters of the Third Army, including the entire Coral Sea and the Pearl Strait."

"The third place is the southern region, which was originally the headquarters of the Fourth Legion, including the entire northern part of the Blue Sea, as well as the Baisha Strait, and Shark Bay."

"The fourth place is to go through the Pearl Strait to the Pearl Islands, where there is a vast sea area of the Great Eastern Ocean."

"The fifth place is to go through the Baisha Strait to the Baisha Islands, where there is a blue sea in the south-central sea."

"These are the sea frontiers before the Han Yue, if you don't go here, then you may have to go east along the Tongtian River, walk tens of thousands of miles, and enter the sea area that originally belonged to Daliao, but the distance is too far away, and it is deserted, which does not meet our future strategic requirements, so we don't think about it."

"It's basically these five seas, you can think about it."

After finishing speaking, Tang Zheng sat down and began to drink tea.

The people below began to discuss and analyze the pros and cons of these five places.

After some discussion, finally the director of the Discipline Inspection Bureau of the Military Intelligence Bureau spoke: "General, I think there are two places that can be abandoned, that is, the Pearl Islands and the Baisha Islands, these two are far away, not to mention the strait, and they are also separated by the strait. ”

Tang Zheng nodded when he heard it: "That's right, we really don't have the ability to cross the strait now, you continue to analyze." ”

At this time, the head of the City Guard Regiment, Chu Xuan, said: "General, before choosing, I think there is still a problem to be solved, that is, these places we have entered have been divided into spheres of influence by several newly established countries, how can we gain a foothold there in the early days of the past?" Could it be that in the past they began to build troops, build bases, and then confront them? If so, the initial period can be difficult. ”

Tang Zheng also praised when he heard it: "That's right, we can't confront the enemy along the coast at the beginning, we need a foothold, a foothold, and build up our naval forces, otherwise the enemy already has a navy, and the base we have established is bombarded by the enemy's artillery, I'm afraid it will be difficult to gain a foothold, at least the shipyard can't be saved, so it's very important to find the right foothold." ”

After Tang Zheng said this, everyone's goal narrowed down a little and began to look for a place to stand.

But this place is not easy to find, these coastal forces all attach great importance to maritime rights and naval forces, and they also have to patrol the maritime frontier, and it is difficult to gain a foothold and not be discovered.

For example, Chen Hongchang's Dayan, there have been many survival bases dotted around the sea, and those are Chen Hongchang's eyes.

Just when everyone was discussing, Tang Zheng said another thing.

He showed a short film, which was shot in Rivers State.

After the ice was blown open in the river in River State, fish were caught.

One of them, something that looked like a snake, caught people's attention.

"What kind of fish is this? How do you still have a beard? ”

"This shouldn't feel like a snake, look at this monster so familiar?"

Everyone talked for a while before Tang Zheng spoke: "This is a loach." ”

Everyone opened their mouths in surprise, there was such a big loach?

There is the Fengming River in their Chasing Light City, and there are fish in the river, and I haven't seen the fish grow so big.

Tang Zheng opened his mouth to explain everyone's doubts: "The fish in our Chasing Light City are not big, because there is sugar and sugar in the river, and all the bigger fish are eaten by him, and his existence restricts the growth of fish in the Fengming River." ”

"And we didn't see any big fish when we went out this winter, because the river was frozen, and some of the big fish couldn't get out of the water."

"But in fact, the aquatic fish have grown bigger and bigger, and this situation cannot be only here for us, but all over the world, and it is conceivable that the fish on the other side of the ocean must have grown bigger."

"One might ask, why isn't the news reported when the fish in the ocean are bigger?"

"Don't forget, after the end of the world, almost all the ships are scrapped, there is no one to go to sea, and those larger fish generally do not enter the shallow waters of the sea, so this kind of report is not seen."

"I'm telling you now that there are big fish in the water, not to worry everyone, but to be careful, we have found a base and a foothold, and we should also pay attention to the fact that the defensive situation there is different from that on the shore, maybe the enemies we will face in the future are not only humans and zombies and mutant beasts, but also a large number of sea monsters."

This matter was Tang Zheng's speculation, but he was almost certain that the sea beast must exist.

This is also one of the problems that the navy needs to face in the future, especially for small boats, there is really a lot of risk.

At this time, Guo Yun put forward an idea.

"General, since the edge of the ocean is very dangerous, then I think we can find a place where the river and the sea meet, such as the mouth of a certain river, some large rivers can pass through warships, and if there are islands and the like, it will be more convenient to gain a foothold."

Hearing Guo Yun's words, Tang Zheng's eyes also lit up.

At this moment, he followed everyone's gaze and searched together.

After a while, Tang Zheng's gaze fell on an island.

This island is called Dicui Island, which is located at the mouth of the Hao River, near Zhonghai City.

Zhonghai is the economic center of Hanyue, and the shipping industry is extremely developed, not only by shipping, but also by shipping on the Haojiang River.

At the mouth of the Hao River, Dicui Island stands here like a pearl, dividing the Hao River into two and flowing through both sides of the island.

The entire island covers an area of about 2,600 square kilometers and is the fourth largest island in Hanyue.

Tang Zheng did not forget that he had one requirement for upgrading the division commander, that is, to occupy at least three islands of more than 100 square kilometers.

In the entire Han Moon, there are only five such islands, and two of them are located on the blue sea.

The strategic significance of Dicui Island is very important, and it is surrounded by water, if it can be won, it is really a natural foothold.

It's just that I don't know if this island is currently occupied by Chen Hongchang's Seventh Army.

Tang Zheng thought about it for a while, and immediately asked Li Xiaoqiang of the TV station to replay the news of Chen Hongchang's announcement of independence.

Soon the TV footage was replayed.

"The four eastern coastal provinces, starting from the North Peninsula, Ningbei Province, Haiweicheng, Dongyue Province, Zhonghaicheng, Bulk Province, Qianjiang Province and other places, are all under the jurisdiction of Dayan."

When Chen Hongchang said this, Tang Zheng paused the TV screen.

"He didn't say anything about Emerald Island, did he?"

Everyone shook their heads, but they really didn't say anything.

Tang Zheng pondered for a moment, Dicui Island is such a feng shui treasure, it is unlikely that Chen Hongchang has forgotten it.

And the location of this island is so good that no one and it is impossible.

So what is the reason why Chen Hongchang did not say this?

After thinking about it for a while, Tang Zheng broadcast the call to Li Wuwu.

He himself lives in the Northern Regions and doesn't know much about the outside world, but as the person who has ruled the empire for more than half a year, Li Wuwu knows more things than anyone else.

The phone was connected, Li Wuwu and Tang Zheng greeted each other, and it sounded like they were in good spirits.

After greeting each other, Tang Zheng went straight to the point: "Your Highness, do you know the situation on Dicui Island?" ”

Li Wuwu's tone was a little lower: "I know, the situation there is very complicated. ”

"What's a complicated law?" Tang Zheng asked.

"Dicui Island is located in the area of Zhonghai City, which used to be a tourist attraction in Zhonghai, attracting countless foreigners, many countries have set up consulates there, and there are also many foreign-funded enterprises living there, so it is almost the place with the most foreigners in the whole Han month, even more than the locals."

"After the end of the world, it has also become a paradise for foreigners, and foreigners from the entire Zhonghai and some nearby provinces have all run there, and in fact, it has been completely occupied by foreigners."

"Now in the entire Dicui Island, there are many foreigners' forces established, in fact, they are no longer under the control of the empire, and I want to take back Dicui Island, especially in the later stage, many foreigners have established contact with their own country, and it is really tricky to take a trigger and move the whole body."

"When Chen Hongchang announced the territory, he deliberately omitted Dicui Island, in fact, it was also to avoid suspicion, and it was not under his control."

Hearing Li Wuwu's last words, Tang Zheng was finally relieved.
