It should be said that Ling Tianfang's words deeply moved the three of them, the rise of the Japanese people in the Great Eastern Ocean made the Tang River Empire lose its sea power in the Great Eastern Ocean, and even the treasure islands, Kamchatka Island and the Ryukyu Islands were forcibly occupied, which was undoubtedly a huge humiliation for the naval officers, but the empire that was mired in division and civil war did not have the strength to pay attention to these issues at all, and the strong rise of His Royal Highness the King of Qin seemed to let them see a glimmer of hope, Ling Tianfang's words could be said to be from the bottom of his heart, how could he not let the three of them feel the same way. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Silent for a long time, the five of them just strolled on the beach, the three officers of the Imperial Navy were a little undecided at this time, they did not have any doubts about the enthusiasm and sincerity of the Western Frontier, but enthusiasm and sincerity do not represent reality, to build an ideal naval fleet, not just by feelings, that requires real investment, although Ling Tianfang swears, but the problem of funds is quite difficult for any newly established dynasty, not to mention that the Western Xinjiang is still working hard to seize the world, they still have doubts about whether the Western Xinjiang can have this determination。

"Lord Ling, Lord Lei, your enthusiasm and enthusiasm can be understood by the three of us, as a Tanghe person, if we say that we are indifferent to foreign enemies invading our maritime frontier and seizing our land, then he is not worthy of being a Tanghe person, since you have already said this, if the three of us still shirk and retreat, it will seem that we are too unkind, we accept the invitation of the two to stay, and we are also willing to contribute to the construction of a powerful Oriental Navy for His Royal Highness King Qin, but we also take the liberty to say it, or say it first, if His Royal Highness King Qin cannot follow or say too far from the conditions promised by Lord Ling in the construction of the navyThe navy is no better than the army, and it is almost impossible for a navy without strength to defend territorial sovereignty. As for the personnel issue, I think that the current Huludao Detachment should be able to select a group of personnel to be used as candidates for the preparation of the Great Oriental Navy, and I don't know what the situation of the newly built naval academy in Western Xinjiang is, can we also send a group of experienced personnel to form this Great Oriental Fleet?"

The three of them made eye contact for a while, and finally Zuo Shichang took the lead in saying this, and once they made a decision, they directly entered the question of the actual surname, obviously they were also extremely worried about the huge pressure and threat facing the sea frontier of the Tang River Empire, and they were eager to change the current status quo of the navy, just from this point, it can be seen that the three of them did not have any selfish thoughts on the issue of defending the interests of the country and the nation, and some only had a high sense of responsibility for the entire navy.

If Ling can't do this, then the three of them will naturally have nothing to say when they leave the Western Navy, and if Ling does everything that Ling promised, I also hope that the three of them can do their best to build this brand-new Great Oriental Fleet!"

Ling Tianfang didn't say much nonsense, and went straight to the topic: " The Great Eastern Ocean Fleet takes Yuhang as the main port, and Yuhang will also be the core military port of the entire Great Eastern Fleet, so I would like to ask the three of them to sort out and select first, and immediately set off for Yuhang, Jiangnan Shipyard and Southeast Shipyard have signed shipbuilding agreements with Xijiang respectively, and it is estimated that they will soon be put into construction, in terms of military port management and maintenance and ship design and construction, I would like to ask Lord Sa Zhenhai to ask more questions, and I would like to ask Lord Zuo Shichang to be fully responsible for the planning, construction and management of the entire Great Eastern Fleet, and I also want to ask Lord Huo Yunfeng to temporarily take on this heavy burden when it comes to the first standing fleet that needs to be established, as for the personnel aspects that need to be deployed and transferred, all three can decide themselves, and if I have the opportunity, I would like to invite the three of them to the Naval Academy in the South China Sea, and if you have any other questions, you can discuss with Lord Lei. It's just that although this ship-building plan has been issued to the Jiangnan Shipyard and the Southeast Shipyard, it will take a certain amount of time, and I have decided with Lord Lei to allocate a new type of large military ship to the First Standing Fleet as a flagship in Milan, plus there are two old-fashioned large military ships in the Quanzhou Military Port, although they are dilapidated, but they can barely be used after repairs, and at present, the entire southeast coastal defense is only this foundation, but I believe that in the near future, our Great Oriental Fleet will appear in a new attitude on the vast blue waters of the Great Eastern Ocean！”

Hearing that there will be a new type of large military ship built by the Milanese in place immediately, the three of them can't help but have a burst of joy on their faces, I don't know how the Western Xinjiang did it to let the Milanese help the Western Xinjiang to build military ships, but this also means that the Western Xinjiang is afraid that it is really going to spare no effort to develop the navy, it seems that the invasion of the Japanese people on the coast has made His Royal Highness the King of Qin, who is about to unify the empire, feel the pain of the skin, and this is a good opportunity for the rise of the Great Oriental Naval Fleet.

In the few days that Ling Tianfang and Lei Cangpu stayed in Huludao, Zuo Shichang, who was fully stimulated to have a positive surname, Sa Zhenhai and Huo Yunfeng began to make big moves, in addition to selecting a group of experienced and energetic naval officers for Ling Tianfang and Lei Cangpu to look at, Zuo Shichang, as the main planner of the preparation of the Great Dongyang Fleet, also immediately took on the heavy responsibility, selecting personnel, deploying ships, making plans, and a series of complicated work was so busy that he was dizzy, but fortunately, a group of his loyal old subordinates quickly won Ling Tianfang's recognition, and quickly went to work to help him share the heavy work.

In addition to dispatching ships to contact the shipyard to arrange the maintenance and restart of the military port, Sa Zhenhai also has an extremely important responsibility, that is, to prepare for the establishment of the Oriental Branch of the Naval Intelligence Bureau with several officials brought by Lei Cangpu. The main task is to collect the situation of coastal defense in the entire Great Eastern Ocean, the focus of which is on the construction and activities of the navies of all sides, the development of ship manufacturing technology, the current situation of islands in coastal areas, the collection and sorting of information on various nautical charts and maps, and the collection of intelligence on nearby ports, especially military ports.

Huo Yunfeng's responsibilities were even clearer, and he immediately led some seamen and sailors to the Quanzhou Military Port to receive the ships moored there, and those that needed to be repaired immediately entered the Southeast Shipyard for repair and maintenance.

In addition to appointing Zuo Shichang as the first commander of the Great Eastern Ocean Fleet, Sa Zhenhai was also appointed as the deputy commander of the Great Eastern Ocean Fleet and the first commander of the Yuhang Military Port Base, Huo Yunfeng was appointed as the commander of the first standing fleet of the Great Eastern Ocean Fleet, and several other recommended officers were also appointed by Ling Tianfang, and a large number of officers were quickly promoted to middle and senior officers in a few ranks, which was simply unimaginable in the imperial navy。 Of course, all this is a move of power, and the appointment of all high-ranking officials still needs to be approved by the security department after passing the political review of these people, and the order signed by His Royal Highness the King of Qin can only take effect, and they can only be temporary acting positions.

The re-recruitment of officers and men of the former Imperial Navy has also been carried out in an all-round way, and this work has received enthusiastic responses in various places, and the officers of the Imperial Navy headed by Zuo Shichang and Sa Zhenhai have taken the lead in taking the lead in taking the lead, and the preferential treatment of the officers and men of the army in Western Xinjiang has also caused many officers and soldiers of the Imperial Navy to come one after another, and there has even been a phenomenon of pretending to be soldiers of the Imperial Navy to join the army, which has also brought great pressure and trouble to the political review work of the security departments and local internal affairs departments. But in general, everything was going according to the established plan, and even Ling Tianfang didn't expect it to be going smoothly.

On October 23, 699 in the mainland Gregorian calendar, Ling Tianfang secretly visited the Kingdom of Milan to consult with important officials such as King Louis XI of the Kingdom of Milan and Duke Bedoririch on the establishment of the new regime and the support of the Kingdom of Milan for the Western Navyand consulted on specific options. The two sides also held a highest-level consultation on the sovereignty of the Marbun Islands, and the intention to propose the distribution of the ownership of the Marbun Islands, of course, after Li Wufeng obtained the supreme control of the Tang River Empire.

During his stay in the Kingdom of Milan, Ling Tianfang successively inspected the First Fleet of the Royal Navy of Milan stationed in Naples, the capital of Milan, and the Second Fleet of the Royal Navy of Milan stationed in the third largest city and the second largest port in Milan。 Prior to this, Ling Tianfang also visited the Royal Yard of Naples, the largest shipyard in Milan, and inspected the shipyard workshop and dock, and then Ling Tianfang visited the Royal Naval Academy of Milan, located on the outskirts of Naples, the royal capital of Milan, and invited the President of the Royal Naval Academy of Milan and some of his professors to visit the Western Naval Academy located in the port of East Samoa in the South China Sea Autonomous Territory of Western Xinjiang.
