There is an advantage under the rule of personal will, that is, the incomparably swift action, after Zhen Qian's orders were issued, the entire Wufeng Islands began to prepare for this Zhen Shi expedition.

Soldiers were transported out of the barracks and loaded onto ships in batches to be trained in adaptation to the turbulence of the sea, most of whom had previously only been trained in land warfare, and those who were planned to be overseas had to undergo elementary sailor training to adapt to the way they fought at sea and on the islands.

After Ke Ming returned to the shipyard, he put down other work in the shipyard and began to refit the Thousand Stone Flyer with all his might, and even the ships that were about to be completed began to work overtime to build the lights, and this process would not stop even after Zhen Shi set off. According to the new shipyard production plan, the new sailing ships were no longer the focus, and even the thousand-stone ships were in second place, and the focus was on the construction of more 500-stone cargo ships and flyships in the next three months, with cargo ships used for short-distance transportation between the islands, flyships for the use of naval training sailors, and the burden of protecting the Wufeng Islands.

In the past, Zhen Qian was too interested in the role of the thousand-stone ships, in fact, the five-hundred-stone ships in this era are all large ships, and they are the main force in naval battles.

Zhen Jiu calculated that under the same tonnage, the current warship equipment and weaponry quality of the Wufeng Islands can fight against four or five enemy ships at the same time, and this combat power is already very amazing.

The problem is that the number of warships on the Wufeng Islands is only four, and no matter how powerful they are, they can't stop the attack of the wolves, so at this time, we can see the disadvantage in numbers.

Zhen Qian's idea of seeking refinement is certainly correct, but he neglected a little, his own warships are actually not much stronger than other enemy ships, and the range of the fire oil bombs and thunderbolts equipped with them is not far, if the enemy ships desperately want to get closer, it is not completely out of chance, and it has not completely opened an insurmountable distance from the warships of this era.

Ke Ming plans to build 500 500 stone cargo ships and 20 500 stone flyships in three months, the 500 stone cargo ships can meet the transportation between islands, and the 500 stone flyships can protect the sea security around the Wufeng Islands, and can fully support a small and medium-sized naval battle.

The naval battles of these years are actually the infantry sitting on the ship, which may not be entirely correct, but it is not much different from the reality.

The two sides of the naval battle compete for whose warship is bigger, whose warship has more, and even stronger than whose warship, the larger the battleship, the more soldiers it can carry, and the lack of long-range weapons of the warship at sea, at most it is bow and arrow shooting, and the naval battle is inseparable from the two sides to jump to fight, which is not much different from fighting on land.

The flyship in Zhen Qian's hand has an advantage in speed and maneuverability, and the ship is equipped with a launch stand, so the shooting distance is stronger than that of ordinary bows and arrows, but it is not as good as the eight-bull crossbow, but the eight-bull crossbow is too occupied by the battleship, and only one will be installed on the thousand-stone battleship, so the deterrent power is naturally insufficient.

The reason why there was no large-scale construction of 500 stone sailboats at the beginning was that Zhen Qian's lack of understanding of naval warfare and Zhen Qian's expectations for the new sailboat, thinking that the new sailboat could be built as soon as possible to make up for his lack of warships, but the cruel reality taught Zhen Qian a lesson and made Zhen Qian sober up, the research and design progress of the new sailboat was extremely slow, resulting in a huge waste of resources and time, and even the construction of the Qianshi sailboat was affected. Zhen Qian had to turn back and start building a five-hundred-stone flyship.

The only thing that the Wufeng Islands do not lack now is grain, equipment, and weapons, and now the Wufeng Islands have enough supplies to feed 50,000 people for a year, which is where Zhen Qian's real confidence lies.

Zhen Qian was not in a hurry to leave the Wufeng Islands, and running back and forth between the Wufeng Islands and Saga Town was also a kind of torture for Zhen Qian, who had a strong sense of time.

Zhen Jiu and Zhen more than a dozen people hid in the military intelligence room, and conducted tactical deductions according to the sea route of the Ryukyu Islands drawn by Zhen 31 at the beginning, and the warm atmosphere also attracted Wang Tianxing, and finally invited Zhen Qian to participate, but Zhen Qian refused.

In fact, Zhen Qian had already prepared for the worst in his heart, not because Zhen Qian was unwilling to participate in their military and tactical exercises, but because he believed in his heart that these things should be handed over to them to do, and his own participation would only increase uncertain variables, and might even affect their operational thinking.

Of course, judging from the comparison of the military strength of the two sides, Zhen Qian did not think that this battle would fail in the end, and the only thing to worry about was that the killing was too large and fell into the resistance of the indigenous people, which delayed the next strategic deployment.

Wang Lun also thought that it was correct for Zhen Qian to delegate power at this time, and pulled Zhen Qian to talk about the issue of development planning.

The development plan of the Wufeng Islands has been revised countless times, not because Wang Lun and Zhen Qian's vision is insufficient, but because the economic planning of the Wufeng Islands is too small, and it will be affected if there is little trouble.

"Wang Peng has sent a letter, there is a shortage of salt and iron on his side, let's think of a way?"

Zhen Qian nodded, he had already considered this situation, but he didn't expect Wang Peng's development in Murowei to be faster than he expected, especially after the population suddenly increased to 50,000, the demand for salt and iron increased several times, and now the control scope of Black Domain City is not large, and the few poor resources around it cannot meet the needs of development at all.

"I didn't expect the development of Wang Peng to be so fast, there is no shortage of salt and iron in the Wufeng Islands for the time being, but it can't be transported to Wang Peng for a while!" Zhen Qian said with a sense of emotion.

"Wang Peng said that he had found a safe passage, and Wang Qun meant that we should help Wang Peng, and he would collect some more people and transport them to Murowei, so as to gain a firm foothold in Murowei next year!"

Zhen Qian's request for Zhen Shi to end the war on Qiumei Island within two months this time was to plan to transport the few resources in his hand to Murowei, and he didn't expect Wang Peng to have much development in Murowei, as long as he was invincible, it would be good.

"The safe route found by Zhen Da is not safe, if it is used once a year, it is okay, but if it is used regularly, it is impossible not to be discovered by the surrounding tribes, and it takes two or three months for this route to go back and forth once, just rely on the support we give Wang Peng, if there is a major and unpredictable situation, I am worried that it will be difficult to support it alone!"

"Does Zhen Lang have any other ideas?"

With Wang Lun's understanding of Zhen Qian, whenever Zhen Qian said these words, he would always think of other solutions.

Zhen Qian looked at Wang Lun and said with a mysterious smile: "Uncle Wang, have you forgotten, why did we send people to Heishui Yao, one road does not work, we can go another way, our eyes not only have to stare at the front, sometimes we have to stare at the ...... behind." ”
