"Ten days?" Dayang Group, Zhang Hao looked at the newspaper and smiled slightly, "Between the Xiaoyao Sect and the Xuanzhen Sect, there will inevitably be a decisive battle."

If I'm not mistaken, it's going to be a decisive battle at sea!"

Next to him, Yin Hong, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Marine Development, discharged at Zhang Hao, and his voice trembled: "Minister, how do you know~~"

A beauty no less than Zhou Xueyao, exhaling like an orchid and looking like a picker, Zhang Hao was also moved. But thinking that Yin Hong was standing behind Liu Xinyu, Zhang Hao had to put out his thoughts.

Beside him, everyone from the Marine Development Department looked down and busied, as if they didn't see everything here.

Today, the Department of Marine Development is very busy, and it is located in the county seat of Ninghe County. Although Ninghe County was the fief of the Zhang family, the empress decisively stuck a nail in it. In the name of taking care of Zhang Hao's needs to work from home.

Zhang Hao got up, came to the front of the chart, and said slowly: "Everyone prepare, there will be an unprecedented naval battle next."

It is impossible for the Loose Sect to obediently hand over the steel battleship, and since the Xuanzhen Sect has said such things, it is impossible for the two sides to be intimidated! There will inevitably be a battle between the two sides. And it's a battle around steel battleships!

And just think about how we hunted the Mirage in the first place, and we can know: now, the only one who wants to deal with the Iron Battleship is the Iron Battleship!

So it's going to be a battle of steel!"

Yin Hong leaned lazily on the chair and said in a coquettish voice: "That's not necessarily, what if the master of the Xuanzhen Sect raids? The steel battleship is powerful after it is activated, but if it is not activated, it can be dismantled in a god transformation period!"

Zhang Hao shook his head: "The Xuanzhen Sect has made such a big public opinion, it is impossible to sneak attack, otherwise it will be a slap in the face." This matter is bound to be a decisive battle in the open. And at present, the best means of decisive battle is the steel battleship.

Besides, it is impossible for the Loose Sect to be unprepared now, and a sneak attack is impossible!"

One official asked, "Minister, how will this affect us?"

"Route!" Zhang Hao's finger crossed the emerald sea in the south of the Fertile Earth Continent, "This matter will inevitably affect the route of the Ocean Group!"

In the past, there was a friendship between our Qixia Country and the Carefree Faction, anyway, there were two steel warships, so the Easy-to-Luck Sect also turned a blind eye to us. But after this time, this relationship between us will inevitably be torn apart.

It is impossible for the Easy Sect to watch the passage of our countries, including the Xuanzhen Sect, unblocked, they will definitely block the Emerald Sea!"

Yin Hong got up slowly, her face was already serious, this woman already had a kind of coldness and general temperament at this time - what could be sent by Liu Xinyu to divide power and balance Zhang Hao certainly couldn't be a vase.

Yin Hong walked to the chart, and his tone was quite pointing: "The 'direct cause' of this incident is the coastline of the country of Shaoze seeking to take the country of Langya!"

But the indirect cause, which is also the fundamental cause, is the collision between the Xuanzhen Sect and the Loose Sect!

This battle, no matter what the final result is, represents the conflict between the Xiaoyao faction and the Xuanzhen Sect, and it will be completely laid out on the surface. And on the bright side, we can only stand on the side of the Xuanzhen Sect. Therefore, the Loose Sect will inevitably block our shipping routes in the Emerald Sea. ”

As he spoke, Yin Hong's fingers slid down to the north coast of the Turbulent Continent and continued: "However, even if the Loose Sect does its best, it can only affect the north of the Emerald Sea, and in the south, close to the Turbid Continent, they can't influence it.

Our fleet, it's a big deal to go a little more south and cooperate with the Continent of Turbulence. It just so happens that we are also preparing to open a route to West Kunlun and even the entire Kunlun continent recently.

Perhaps, we can take advantage of the advantages of the steel warship to completely and directly monopolize the trade of the Emerald Sea from the sea, and cut off the sea exchanges with the outside world!"

Zhang Hao's eyes glanced at the chart, but finally pointed his finger at the 'Black Scale Island' and said calmly: "Our next focus should be to develop the Black Scale Island.

Black Scale Island, just at the junction of the Emerald Sea and the Green Sea of Death, is even narrowest in the narrowest place. To the north to the country of Canglan, less than 250 kilometers. To the south, it is less than 500 kilometers to the island of the earth.

As long as we control the Black Scale Island, we can hold the throat of the Emerald Sea!

Now than in the past, with the rise of steel warships and open sea routes, the location of the future Black Scale Island is crucial. This is a real choke point!

Now that the country of Canglan is at war, if we don't operate Black Scale Island now, once the country of Canglan falls out, I'm afraid that it will be a disaster!

Besides, we now have enough conditions to build Black Scale Island. ”

Yin Hong nodded, but suddenly smiled again, "Minister~ We were discussing the matter of the Xuanzhen Sect and the Loose Sect just now, it seems to be off topic~~"

Zhang Hao rolled his eyes: It's okay to speak normally!

However, Zhang Hao still took over the topic: "Then continue with the previous one." I think that this time the Xuanzhen Sect will definitely take a thunderous offensive! At present, the Weihai fleet of the Xuanzhen Sect has 4 Zhenyuan-class and 12 Iron Duke-class warships, which are fully armed.

Moreover, compared with the two warships of the Xiaoyao faction, the naval guns of the Weihai Fleet are all new, dual technology, and the firing range is also longer, and many shells have the ability to break the ban.

Last night, the Weihai fleet all returned, and now it is already being adjusted, and my ancestor Hongyunzi has arrived and is in charge of the fleet.

This time, the Xuanzhen Sect will surely deliver a thunderous blow!

Speaking of which, for so many years, the Xiaoyao Sect has been faintly pressing the Xuanzhen Sect, so this time can also be regarded as the Xuanzhen Sect's counterattack and revenge battle.

This also determines that this battle will inevitably not be a sneak attack. ”

Yin Hong nodded, discussed with Zhang Hao a little more, and got up, she wanted to go back to the imperial capital to report the situation to the empress. Yin Hong is not only here to balance Zhang Hao, but also to learn from Zhang Hao.

Liu Xinyu needs a spare talent - in case Zhang Hao retreats in the future, or even falls out with the country of Qixia, etc., the empire can have a person in charge of the marine business to support the scene.

............

After Yin Hong returned to the imperial capital, he reported all the situation to Liu Xinyu.

Liu Xinyu finished listening, but sighed, frowned and looked at the sea chart, looking at the south of the country of Qixia, and the estuary of the Jinjiang River - this was once the place of the country of Danyang, but now of course it belongs to the country of Qixia.

Now there is a new port here - Nanhai Port.

However, Liu Xinyu's construction of this port at the mouth of the Jinjiang River was unsuccessful! The port was built, but there were no ships docking, and this port was ...... It's nothing!

It is said that the success of the entire country of Qixia now is due to the Great Voyage, but now the main factors of the Great Voyage, whether it is steel warships or ports, are all on the side of the Great Ocean Group. This is very dangerous for the Empire.

Therefore, Liu Xinyu naturally wanted to try to build a second port.

And the Jinjiang River, as the largest river in the west of the Fertile Continent, from the sea all the way to the imperial capital Anqing City, can almost be said to be unimpeded - occasionally a little problem, but now it has also been cleaned up. The 10,000-ton warship can directly reach Anqing City from Jinjiang!

Therefore, Liu Xinyu built the second port of the country of Qixia at the mouth of the Jinjiang River - Nanhai Port.

In fact, there is also a Red House here in Nanhai Port, and the Red House also built a shipbuilding base here - but no sea ships have been produced so far.

Well, the Red Mansion was pitted by Zhang Hao and Liu Xinyu. However, to establish this South China Sea Port, Liu Xinyu is sincere. The country of Qixia can't just have a Changshan port of the Zhang family and the Ocean Group!

Moreover, Nanhai Port is close to the Emerald Sea, and Liu Xinyu wants to use this port to replace part of the capacity of Changshan Port. But the ideal is very plump, and the reality is ...... We still need to work hard, redouble.

In fact, even if the country of Qixia has now annexed the other five countries, the coasts of these five countries are all in the open sea! If you want to sail in the open sea, you must have steel warships!

And now the steel warships are only produced by the Dayang Group! This is also one of the reasons why the South China Sea Port has not been successful.

In addition, the success of Changshan Port is also due to the railway transportation system in the rear. And these are not available in Nanhai Port.

Originally, Liu Xinyu was already a little annoyed by the problem of the port, but after listening to Yin Hong's report at this time, and then looking at the location of Black Scale Island, Liu Xinyu's eyes suddenly had a cold light: "Yin Hong, you said that Zhang Hao wants to develop Black Scale Island, do you still want to take the opportunity to get rid of my South China Sea Port!"

Although Liu Xinyu admires Zhang Hao, when it comes to political issues, the empress will not be soft!

As the empress, when Liu Xinyu heard about the plan of the Black Scale Island, the first thing that came to mind was not Zhang Hao's layout, but political struggle! This cannot be said that there is a problem with Liu Xinyu's brain circuit, but it can only be said that he is not in his position and does not seek his own politics. As the empress, Liu Xinyu first thinks of her own interests, and then everything else.

Yin Hong thought for a while and shook his head slightly: "The minister is not very clear. However, I see that Zhang Hao's expression is natural, as if there is no intention to target His Majesty.

And the location of Blackscale Island is indeed critical. I remember that when I sailed for the first time, Zhang Hao asked people to plant the national flag and the flag of the Ocean Group on the island. At that time, the location of Nanhai Port was still in the country of Danyang.

In other words, Zhang Hao's idea of developing Black Scale Island was still before the South China Sea Port. Therefore, I think that Zhang Hao should have no intention of targeting.

But...... But Zhang Hao is not simple. If you don't target it directly, it doesn't mean that you won't give it a hug by the way. Pick up the grass and beat the rabbit, both right!"

Liu Xinyu thought for a while, and then smiled faintly, "Black Scale Island, is it 50% of the shares of the Ocean Group and the state, right?"

"Yes! Zhang Hao proposed. ”

Liu Xinyu thought about it, and finally nodded reluctantly, but there was no way, now that the country of Qixia wants to build Black Scale Island, it is really inseparable from the Ocean Group.

Black Scale Island, in the open sea, it is not easy to build. If nothing else, steel is always needed in key places such as ports.

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Xinyu could only reluctantly change the topic and asked about the conflict between the Xuanzhen Sect and the Xiaoyao Sect. This is a big deal, and now this matter has alarmed the west and central parts of the Fertile Land Continent.

The confrontation between the two holy lands, it is impossible for the country of Qixia to completely stay out of the matter!

Yin Hong said: "I think this time the Xiaoyao faction will suffer. The current steel battleship of the Xuanzhen Sect has been upgraded once. And the battleships of the Carefree faction, that is, the two steel battleships of the country of Langya, are still old technology.

And once those two steel battleships are defeated, the navy of the country of Langya will not survive.

At that time, another attack will break out on land, and the country of Langya and the country of the Southern Tang Dynasty will be in danger of annihilation!

But if I'm a freelancer, I want to ...... As long as the cost is bearable, the two countries should be defended to the death. It's a matter of face.

Face, militarily undesirable. But the Holy Land, however, must consider this. ”

Liu Xinyu thought for a while, and then changed the topic: "Then what is the situation of the arms purchased by the country of Shaoze in the Ocean Group recently?"

"It's crazy! The country of Shaoze mortgaged all the country's tax revenue to the Oasis Bank, and loaned 200 million of the wealth of Shangpin Spirit Stones, of which 170 million were used to buy arms. Shells that can penetrate the ban, 460 mm land artillery, super ballistas that can only be used on battleships, and a large number of high-purity black iron, steel, etc.

In addition, a large number of pills were purchased from Xinglintang.

According to Zhang Hao, these arms and so on are enough to clean the imperial capital of Langya five times!"

Liu Xinyu pondered for a while, and suddenly said, "Pass on Wu Fanghai!"
