Chapter 747: ?The future of East China Sea

Captain Lena nodded and said, "The original advantage of the Great Bay Islands has become its disadvantage. The enemy's fleet is within reach here. If we stay here for one more day, we will be beaten for another day. Now the port , Shipyards have all been destroyed. Giving up here has become a choice. Don’t forget our origin. The island has never been our roots. It’s just a place for us to rest. Ships and fleets are. As long as the ship is there, the fleet is , Our East China Sea is still there, and our third fleet is here!"
Several veterans of the East China Sea nodded secretly. The analysis of Captain Lena is absolutely pertinent in this situation. However, given the extremely embarrassing complexion of King Steuben, no one dared to make it. Support her.
Perhaps King Stubbs himself knew everything that Captain Lena had analyzed, but he was unwilling to let go of everything in the Great Bay Islands easily, and he was unwilling to let go of his king's dream.
You can wake people who are sleeping, but there is no way to wake people who pretend to sleep.
Seeing the appearance of his father who was hesitant to say something, Prince Leiden spoke very vigorously and proactively said: "Aunt Lena, if we abandon the Great Bay Islands, where should we go? We can't return to the Western Sea again, right? Not to mention that when we left, we guilty of public anger, even if we go back, our former territory has long been divided up, and our foothold is lost."
"If we change to normal times, if we go back rashly, the situation is indeed as you said." Captain Lena's eyes flashed with wisdom, "but now the situation in the Western Sea is very unique, and other fleets are involved in the new In the reshuffle of the rights of the royal family and the secret society of witches, it is the critical moment in the struggle for maritime sovereignty. When the entire family is in great need of strength, although our strength has been partly lost, compared with other fleets, we attach importance to black powder and The application is still at the forefront and has certain advantages. I believe they must be very happy to suggest that a new force joins."
Prince Leiden glanced at Steubin subconsciously before asking, "Apart from this, are there any other options?"
Knowing a father is like a son.
Returning to the Western Sea is definitely not the best choice in King Stupin's mind.
It's better for chicken head than oxtail.
This has always been Steuben's ambition, as it was before.
Not to mention having tasted the taste of the king, and then letting him return to the Western Seas to sit on an equal footing with the captains of the other fleets, or even to be pressed by them, it would be more uncomfortable than killing him.
"There is another option, to publish the route map through the South China Sea, and to completely open the channel. I believe that other fleets will be very interested in the East China Sea and the Donau Plain. They will completely muddy the water here. We will naturally There are more opportunities!" Captain Lena made another plan.
Without waiting for Prince Leiden to speak this time, Captain Bry shook his head and said: "Now the route map of the South China Sea is no longer unique to us. The Xiamor is also in control. The leader of Yongye only needs to divide Several warships set up spell artillery there. By then, it’s just a replay of our old things on the Donau River, unless the entire fleet is dispatched together, but as you just said, the Western Seas are now undergoing a reshuffle of power. At the critical moment, they can't draw the entire fleet."
"The last option is to continue south and try your luck." Captain Lena said the next move in his heart.
"What does it mean to take a chance?" Not only was Stubin puzzled, the others also appeared puzzled.
"Three months ago, I dug a very interesting piece of information from the mouths of the local aboriginals. It said that there is a larger archipelago to the south of the Dawan Islands. People there use islands as their homes and boats as their legs. The sea is a hunting ground, and his grandmother came here from a shipwreck." Captain Lena replied.
"Have you verified this information?" Captain Bry hurriedly asked.
"The verification was sent to verify, but the ship sent to verify has not yet returned. I originally waited until this matter, and when I was completely determined, I would report it to your Majesty!" Captain Lena said, "So, this matter. Let’s try your luck. If we can really find a new continent, it might be our turning point."
"Ocean exploration of this kind of thing, it is most taboo to make rash decisions, especially large-scale oceans." Captain Bry said cautiously, "But this news from Captain Lena really gives us another choice, Yong Ye Jun. It will take a certain amount of time to digest the victories captured from us. We still have plenty of time to make preparations and choices. We might as well start from multiple aspects."
"Which aspects?" Captain Lena handed over the dominance of the speech.
"First of all, the information provided by the Captain Lena needs to be sent for further verification. It is not only necessary to search for the new continent, but also to investigate the situation of the new continent as much as possible. Like the leader of Yongye, he will go to war without understanding the situation. Circumstances must never happen again." Bry fleet captain said.
"Captain Bray, this is a sure thing."
"This world was originally bigger than we imagined, and what we imagined is magical. Our fleet cannot withstand the second major damage!"
Several other fleet captains nodded again and again, and gave support and affirmation one after another.
People's mentality will change with their own situation and circumstances.
Because of his cautious disposition, Captain Bray was left out in the middle of the East China Sea at its peak.
Many people think that his decision is too conservative. A man wandering on the sea is a kind of struggle in itself. The greater the risk he takes, the greater the harvest.
The Donau Plain, which is entrenched by the leader of the Yongye Army, is dominated by this mentality.
However, as the East China Sea country's strength was damaged and they were no longer able to withstand greater losses, the cautious advice of Fleet Captain Bray immediately became pertinent.
On the contrary, Captain Bry continued indignantly: "But there is too much uncertainty and too much luck in this matter. If it is about the legend of the New World, it is only a rumor, or the area there is far beyond our imagination. It’s too big, or it’s not conducive to our foothold. If we put too much expectation and energy on this, it will make us very passive, so we must prepare a second path for ourselves.
The safer second way!
That is the Western Sea.
After all, we and the other fleets are all one family, and we also know how they act.
As long as we can show our value and provide them with greater benefits, they will definitely accept us again.
Before that, someone had to be sent back to pave the way.
Our black powder ballistas and safe passages in the South China Sea are the best stepping stones.
Before they knew that a super giant shark was already entrenched in the East China Sea, a safe passage in the South China Sea was of great value.
The key now is to guard the safe passage in the South China Sea.
If it is taken away, we will really become the big fish in the pond in the back lake yard of the others, and let them cut the meat for soup when they are in a good mood! "
This time not only the others couldn't help nodding their heads, but even Steuben, whose face was tense, couldn't help but show his approval.
This strategy of Captain Bray can be said to be comprehensive.
Even a picky person can't be too picky.
Steuben said in a dumb voice: "Let’s do what we plan to do, and explore the new world. Since it was Captain Lena’s start, you will still be responsible for the next thing. This matter has something to do with it. For the future of our fleet, you have to go all out, not only to find out whether there is a new continent in the south, but also to find out the status of their local forces."
"This matter, your Majesty gives me peace of mind." Captain Lena patted his full chest, shaking out waves.
It's just that the men present didn't think much of it, and didn't pay much attention.
"As for the matter of returning to the Western Seas, it needs to be presided over by a stable person and handed over to Captain Bray. I am most relieved. What do you think?" King Steubin asked others for advice.
"We also think that Captain Bray is the right person." Captain Lena nodded.
"I believe that Uncle Bry will not let us down!" Prince Leiden followed.
"Bray, what do you mean by yourself? Returning to the Western Seas, but a trip is both risky and unthankful." Steuben looked at Captain Bray eagerly.
"It's my honor." Captain Bry led directly.
"Thanks for your hard work, then." Steubin patted Captain Bry on the shoulder, and continued, "As for the issue of securing the safe passage in the South China Sea, the problem is not big in a short period of time. After repeated fights, I found out A fatal flaw in the fleet leader of the Eternal Night Army."
"What is the fatal flaw?" The others were suddenly shocked.
Steuben had no appetite, and replied: "The battleship led by the Yongye Army is strong in speed and firepower, but the ship type, they did not have much innovation. One-third of it was transformed from our battleship. Yes, their kind of new weapon is entirely made of steel, and the weight will never be light. This will occupy most of the load of the battleship, plus the crew necessary to control the ship, guess their battleship , How much capacity is left? Do you know what this means?"
"This means that their endurance is particularly poor, they must rely on the port, can not easily sail, let alone ocean warfare!" Prince Leiden blurted out the answer.
As a young man who is not well versed in voyages, the experienced team captains who are present at the scene will naturally understand it for the first time.
Stubbs nodded and said, "At least until the Dreadnought-class warships are used for their own use, their ocean-going combat capabilities are still very poor. On the contrary, Xiamor will become a major problem for us. , He will definitely become the opponent's first hound to hit us."
"For a betrayer, the Yongye Army leader can’t give him too much trust when he gets started, and Xiamor is also an old fox. He knows very well what his hole cards are on the Yongye Army leader. Easily take your own fleet and squat with us." Fleet Captain Bray analyzed.
"It is indeed possible, but I have to guard against it." Steubin's eyes flickered fiercely, "If you don't chop up this betrayer and throw it into the sea to feed the sharks, I can hardly swallow this breath."
"Your Majesty, don't be confused because of a momentary hatred." Fleet Captain Bry's heart jumped and he hurriedly advised him.
Lest Steubin's head gets hot and he makes an impulsive decision, their East China Sea Fleet can no longer withstand greater waves.
Steubin took a deep breath and waved his hand: "Don't worry, I can still distinguish the importance. From now on, I will try to restrain myself."
"Your Majesty..." Several people couldn't help but whispered.
"I brought you into the trough, and I will do my best to bring you out." Steubin waved his arm heavily, "Trust me, believe me again, I will definitely be able to!"
"We believe in Your Majesty!" everyone said in unison.
"Your Majesty, I also have a little personal opinion, I don't know if I should talk about it or not!" the Cornell fleet leader said.
"When is the time now? Everyone is in the same boat. As long as it is good to this boat, there is something that should be said or not." Steubin waved his hand, "Just say anything."
"I think you captains, although the matters discussed are important, they did not touch the core key to our defeat." Captain Cornell bit the bullet.
"The key to the defeat? What did the captain mean..." Captain Bry showed a thoughtful appearance.
"The new weapons used on their battleships, if we have the same new weapons, even if only the range is similar, we won't be so embarrassed now. I have carefully observed and compared the artillery fired by the Yongye Army. There are two kinds.
One is the kind with special magic effects, which we should be powerless in a short time.
But the other is formed by the explosion of black powder, which is just another use of black powder, and the key should be their launchers made of steel.
Yongye Army Leader can make it, why can't we make it?
As long as we can create this kind of artillery, even if we are forced to return to the Western Seas, we will have enough confidence to start all over again! "The Cornell fleet captain got more and more excited~EbookFREE.me~ finally couldn't help but waved his arm vigorously.
"I didn't think about this problem. It's just our shipyards and craftsmen..." Captain Bry looked at Steuben involuntarily, and saw that he didn't react too excitedly before continuing, "Our harbor is here. The side suffered too much, and it is not easy to restore the original scale, let alone research and develop new equipment. Let alone other things, but steel is a big problem for us."
"I think what Captain Cornell said is very reasonable. The artillery led by the Yongye Army must be the future development trend of naval warfare. If you are one step ahead, you will have the advantage of one step. Now that we have seen this weapon. We can’t just sit idly by and ignore the power of the world. Even if there are great difficulties, we can’t shrink from it.

Captain Lena voted in favor of Captain Cornell's suggestion, and a sneered sneered at the corner of his mouth, "Who said that we are going to start research and development from scratch? Since there are ready-made ones, why don't we get them?"
"Captain Lena wants to steal from the leader of the Evernight Army?" Captain Cornell said in a bit of astonishment. "This difficulty is not much lower than our spontaneous research, right? The leader of the Evernight Army is a monolithic one, and it is difficult for outsiders Infiltrating it, let alone a new weapon like artillery, will definitely be guarded strictly, and will not give us a chance at all!"
