After returning to Yingtian, Zhao Ran received the flying talisman from Chen Shandao, so he asked Lu Yuanyuan to convene a joint meeting immediately to discuss important matters. For this reason, Chen Shandao specially asked Lu Xixing to rush back to Yingtian.
Lu Yuanyuan presided over the joint meeting and said: "There are two main topics today. One is to discuss the appointment of the general consultant of the joint meeting, and the other is to discuss the war arrangements for the inspection fleet this year. Now, please Zhiran, give you a detailed introduction."
Zhao Ran took the topic and said: "Let's talk about the general counsel first. Everyone knows that behind Taoist Wutong there are two great demons in transformation. These two great demons in transformation are between the first transformation and the second transformation. , In terms of cultivation alone, Chen Tianshi will not suffer a loss even if he fights one against two, but it will be more difficult to defeat the opponent"
Wei Chaozong was very curious: "The real skeleton has appeared, who is the other Fairy Caiwei?"
Lu Xixing replied: "The information we have is that Fairy Caiwei is a female demon cultivator. It is still unknown what she was transformed into. However, from the fact that overseas monks commonly call her the Pea Fairy, we suspect that she is a pea that turned into a spirit, or Her cultivation is at least related to peas."
Zhao Ran continued: "Therefore, I have been thinking about finding a suitable senior Lianxu to assist me. I happened to go to Longhu Mountain this time and met Huang Bingyue. Huang Zhenren's work focuses on the western and northern fronts, but he still I think it is our honor to be willing to take care of the sea as well.¡±
?? Huang Zhenren is the elder of Leixiao Pavilion. He has been committed to fighting the war between Xixia, Beiyuan and Tubo for a long time. Everyone here knows about this. When I heard that he was invited to sit in and provide support, they all felt that this was the right thing to do.
Zhao Ran paused and said: "I suggest that Huang Bingyue be invited to serve as the military general advisor of the joint meeting. What do you think? Of course, given that Huang Bingyue is busy with affairs, the way he performs his duties may be through flying talismans. We guide, and I hope everyone can understand this.¡±
Zhao Ran¡¯s proposal was unanimously approved at the joint meeting without any questioning. Next, the joint meeting will issue a document and submit it to the Zhenshi Hall for record.
Soon, the topic turned to the part that everyone was most concerned about: the next combat arrangement of the inspection fleet.
Lu Xixing had just returned from Songjiang Camp to report the strategy on behalf of the fleet command. He made full preparations for this and hung a newly discovered detailed chart on the wall.
On this chart, a large number of newly discovered islands are marked, including some sea areas on the edge of the Demonic Hell Sea, including Zhongkui Island.
Lu Xixing picked up the thin pointer hanging on the wall and drew a downward curved arc on the chart: "To the south of Songjiang Camp, there are Yuanjue Island and Daleishan Island, the first stop for seafarers to go to sea. I used to have a door opposite each other. This was done so laissez-faire that it became a lawless place. Our strategy was to first recover Yuanjue Island and Daleishan Island, set up Taoist temples and military supplies warehouses on the islands, and capture the two islands. The latest time is before the end of June.¡±
After finishing speaking, he drew a circle here with his pen and moved the pointer in his hand to the southeast.
"After establishing a firm foothold on Yuanjue Island and Daleishan Island, the fleet headed southeast, passing through Linbo Island and Songmao Island, stationed on Luoye Island, and built a military supply warehouse on Luoye Island. This process is planned to be completed before the end of August. It is expected that the progress will be relatively smooth. Of course, we have also made a plan. Once we encounter resistance on the Three Luoye Islands, the fleet will not be lenient and will resolutely defeat it."
Lu Xixing said: "The real tough battle is expected to be in the third stage. First, we must capture the Chengyun Islands. The eight island owners in the pirate alliance are from here. The plan is to completely capture the Chengyun Islands by the end of the year. After February next year , relying on the Chengyun Islands to advance, cross the Botang Sea and attack Ling'ao Island. In April next year, after occupying Ling'ao Island, it is expected that the pirate alliance will be disintegrated. After that, we plan to occupy Dudu in one month. Cape Islands and complete the East China Sea strategy.¡±
After the narration, Lu Xixing concluded: "According to the wishes of the fleet commander Chen Tianshi, Daomen will no longer engage in ambushes and surprise attacks with sea pirates. The inspection fleet will attack one island after another. Once an island is captured, it will consolidate an island." Islands, consolidate one island, and then conquer the next.¡±
Zhao Ran stood up and explained to everyone: "Chen Tianshi and I have had many exchanges about this strategy. I think the core idea of ??Chen Tianshi is to use force to overwhelm others. We will go all the way flat, do not use fancy tactics, and fight steadily. , take it down one island at a time. If you are willing to fight us, we welcome it. If you are not willing to fight head-on, you can hide wherever you want. We don¡¯t care about you. We will just take down your lair. It¡¯s that simple. ."
Wei Chaozongdao: "How large a fleet is needed to accomplish this?"
Zhao Ran said: "At the end of this year, Longqing's three-year shipbuilding plan will be completed. By then there will be twenty-six thousand-material double-deck warships and nearly sixty five-hundred-material warships, as well as hundreds ofPatrol ships and wind speeders joined the fleet, bringing its size to over six hundred ships. With a fleet of this size, we estimate that we should be able to securely protect the 800-mile route to Luoye Island. "
Everyone knows the contents of Longqing¡¯s three-year shipbuilding plan, but every time we talk about this plan, we can¡¯t help but be fascinated, imagining how majestic and magnificent such a huge fleet will be on the sea!
Zhao Ran broke the news again: "Of course, according to our combat strategy, such a scale is still not enough. Therefore, I am preparing for Longqing's four-year shipbuilding plan. The plan is expected to be completed before June. The ships planned to be built next year are not low." This year, it will include at least ten two-thousand-material three-deck warships. Such warships will be equipped with the latest tactics and called battleships. The drawings of this type of warship are being designed, and because the size of the warship platform has reached If required, you can try to install a small light shield to protect the ship, and the protective power will achieve an astonishing leap!"
Ninth girl asked: "How much silver do you need?"
Zhao Ran replied: "The Longqing four-year shipbuilding plan is expected to cost 2 million taels of silver, of which 500,000 taels will be allocated by the Ministry of Accounts, and the remaining 1.5 million taels are planned to be issued through the issuance of the third phase of Jinghai Pingkoda Bonds solve."
Although they had deep doubts about whether they could obtain another 1.5 million silver in the form of bonds, based on their trust in Zhao Ran, the joint meeting still recognized the inspection fleet¡¯s combat strategy and shipbuilding plan.
According to Zhao Ran¡¯s suggestion, Fei Fu immediately consulted Huang Bingyue, the general military adviser. Huang Bingyue was also very responsible. Based on his war experience, he wrote several pages of suggestions, all of which improved the details of the operation.
With the approval of the joint meeting and supplementary suggestions for operational details, Lu Xixing rushed back to Songjiang Camp. It is already May, and the first phase of the mission will be completed by the end of next month to complete the attack on Yuanjue Island and Daleishan Island. There is not enough time to recover, and pre-war preparations need to be started immediately.
Zhao Ran told him: "Brother Lu, please tell Chen Tianshi and Senior Du that the plan is a plan, and don't be obsessed with the time. If it's advantageous, attack, and if it's unfavorable, delay. We can fully afford to delay, and we are not in a hurry to achieve temporary success."
After sending Lu Xixing away, Zhao Ran was thinking about continuing to recruit students for the huge fleet. Yang Fuwen came to report: "Teacher, there is an old man who wants to see you. He doesn't speak very well. Do you want to drive him away? He said his surname is Tong."
