Shocked to hear that His Royal Highness King Qin will come to Jiangnan in the near future, Wang Zongxi and Bai Yuanzhong were both surprised and delighted, since the news of the great victory in Yunzhong and the victory of Qinghe in the first battle, the two have already understood that the establishment of a new dynasty and a new empire is inevitable, and after the military strength on which the Situ family relies for survival has suffered the blow of this destruction, they have no strength to prevent His Royal Highness the King of Qin's ability to win the country. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info The establishment of the new dynasty is imminent, but His Royal Highness the King of Qin is going to inspect Jiangnan in the near future, which is enough to attach importance to Jiangnan, no matter from which aspect, as long as His Royal Highness the King of Qin can go to Jiangnan to Yuhang, as a magistrate, the achievements of the two of them will naturally be shown in front of His Royal Highness the King of Qin, this is a rare good opportunity, the other party revealed this news to the two of them is undoubtedly to remind the two of them to step up the work in the near future. For a while, Wang Zongxi and Bai Yuanzhong suddenly felt that this military affairs director didn't seem to be as annoying as Fang Cai.

"Lord Ling, there is no separation between military and political affairs, not to mention that your Excellency is entrusted by His Royal Highness the King of Qin, but this reconstruction of the Great Oriental Navy may not be able to be done in a day or two, the Japanese people are still forcibly occupying our coastal islands, and they will never let our navy rebuild, once the Yuhang Military Port is reopened and rebuilt, it will inevitably face their threats and even attacks, which cannot be ignored. Wang Zongxi was pleasantly surprised, but he also did not forget to respond to the other party's question, "Even if the reconstruction project is to be fully launched in Quanzhou, I am afraid that it will also attract an attack by the Japanese people." ”

Nodding, of course Ling Tianfang also took this issue into account, the Japanese people finally achieved the maritime supremacy in the central and northern parts of the Great Eastern Ocean, they will not easily let a sea power that is enough to challenge or even overwhelm them appear, strangling it in the bud is the best way, this is also a problem that has been bothering him, the Milan Navy is enough to compete with the Japanese people, but His Royal Highness King Qin is not even willing to return the Huludao Military Port, let alone let the Milan Navy be stationed in Yuhang and Quanzhou, if that is the case, then the rebuilt Great Oriental Navy will have no secret for the Milanese, which is not in their own interests。

"Lord Ling, didn't you hear that Lord Lei is actively expanding the navy in the southern part of the South China Sea? If the Great Nanyang Navy can be transferred to the Great Eastern Ocean, we only need to seize the time to reclean and repair the Yuhang Military Port and add some subordinate ships. Bai Yuanzhong's tone also became much closer.

"The Great South Ocean Navy has its own mission, and they can help improve the reconstruction of the Great Eastern Navy, but we are unlikely to have too much hope for them, and if they want to rebuild the Great Eastern Navy, they still have to rely on themselves. Ling Tianfang shook his head, "What's more, the Great Nanyang Navy is also in a state of reconstruction now, the navy left behind by the Eastern Peninsula Alliance at that time was pitifully weak, except for some small and medium-sized ships, the only thing that can provide the Great Nanyang Navy is some sailors, and the others are still starting from scratch, especially without a large warship, which is still too far from realizing the strategic intentions of His Royal Highness King Qin in the Great South Ocean." ”

Wang Zongxi and Bai Yuanzhong couldn't help frowning, it seems that the main purpose of this military affairs director to come to Jiangnan this time is the issue of naval construction, but Jiangnan has just experienced a war, and before that, Situ Tai's rule has greatly hurt Jiangnan's economic vitality, and if they want Jiangnan to support naval construction, the two really have no bottom in their hearts.

"Lord Ling, in this situation, I don't know if you have any better ideas? If you need the help and support of our Jiangnan County and Yuhang Mansion, Yuan Zhong and I will definitely go all out. Wang Zongxi did not want to dwell on this issue any longer, if the navy can be quickly established, it will of course be the first contribution to the stability of the entire coastal defense of the south of the Yangtze River, and it will also play a very important role in the stability of the social order of the entire south of the Yangtze River, and the local political axe should also give full support.

"Zong Xi, it depends on the efforts of you and the Yuan. I think that although the Imperial Navy has been defeated and scattered, the main loss is the infrastructure such as ships, which does not need to be done by the local government, the Military Affairs Administration has obtained enough funds to rebuild the Great Oriental Navy, and the Jiangnan Shipyard has been reorganized and established. It is estimated that in the first half of next year, there should be three to five large military ships launched in the Jiangnan shipyard, and we have also ordered some ships from the Central Continent and the Western Continent, which are estimated to be delivered in the second half of next year, which was originally partly equipped for the Great Nanyang Navy, but in view of the imminent reconstruction of the Great Eastern Navy, the Military Affairs Administration and the Navy have coordinated and will give priority to the reconstruction of the Great Eastern Navy, while small and medium-sized ships are mainly purchased from the Jiangnan Shipyard and the Southeast Shipyard in Quanzhou, which should be said to be an opportunity for the shipbuilding industry in Jiangnan。 ”

"I now hope that your local political axe can first fully repair and open the various bases of the original Imperial Navy, such as Yuhang Military Port, Quanzhou Military Port, Songjiang Zhuangyuanao Military Port, Huludao Military Port, these military ports, In addition, as far as I know, after the collapse of the Imperial Navy, a large number of experienced sailors and ground ground crews have been scattered among the people, and I hope that you will make every effort to re-recruit these people, so that we can obtain a large number of experienced naval personnel, and avoid us from training naval personnel from scratch, and at the same time, in order to strengthen the defense of the military port and naval dock, with the approval of His Royal Highness King Qin, the Great Eastern Ocean Navy will also follow some conventions of the Western Continent and form a naval landing combat force, and it is expected that the Great Eastern Ocean Navy will also have a division and regimentThe personnel are mainly selected and recruited from young and strong men who are good at water surnames along the coast. ”

Hearing Ling Tian's remarks that a large number of orders from the navy would be handed over to the Jiangnan Shipyard and the Southeast Shipyard, Wang Zongxi and Bai Yuanzhong were overjoyed, and this was a huge boost to the Jiangnan shipbuilding industry, which had been hit hard and gradually lagged behind Milan and the Japanese land, and only the large ships needed to build a new fleet of the Great Oriental Navy were ten, and this order alone was enough for two shipyards to eat for several years without worrying, and there were dozens or hundreds of medium-sized ships and countless small auxiliary vessels, such a large procurement plan was simply enough to set off a hurricane in the Jiangnan shipbuilding industry and even the shipbuilding industry in the entire western Xinjiang control area。

When they heard Ling Tianfang's request for the local political axe to act quickly to recruit the personnel of the former imperial naval army and form a naval landing combat force, Wang Zongxi and Bai Yuanzhong couldn't help but exchange glances again. This time, His Royal Highness the King of Qin and the Military Affairs Department are going to move seriously, not only to restore the original size of the imperial naval army, but it seems that they are really going to expand the naval force. Kamchatka Island and the Ryukyu Islands, the Tang people are not as good as the Japanese people, a considerable part of the Japanese people are generations of fishing for a living, it can be said that the whole nation is half floating in the water, and the Tang River people are born to be a continental people, even if they live by the sea, after the sea ban policy of the founding era of the Tang River Empire, the number of people in the coastal areas who make a living by fishing has been very few, except for the untouchables, there are few people who are willing to fish on the ocean for a living, as for the merchants, it is for the sake of the rich profits of the ocean trade, but even so, there are very few merchants in the Tang River who started with open sea tradeIt is far inferior to Wadi and Milan and Mahad and Andako, and the merchants of the Nanyang Alliance who operate the shipping industry almost monopolize most of the Nanyang.

Although it is a little troublesome to select men who are proficient in the water surname from the coastal provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, it is not a difficult thing after all, the three provinces are near the sea, and the Tang people do not like to go to the sea, but after all, so many people along the coast ask for life, and they can still recruit enough strong young people, but it is still a little difficult to re-recruit those personnel of the original imperial navy, many people disappeared after the complete collapse of the imperial navy, and now they have to recruit again, some people are willing to come back, and some people are only afraid that they have changed careers to engage in other ways, and the fate of the imperial navy also makes them heartbroken, and it is a little difficult to let them come back。 But since Shangfeng has already decided what to do, that is, no matter how difficult and hard it is, he has to do it, otherwise what is the meaning and value of being a magistrate himself?

When Ling Tianfang, on behalf of the Western Xinjiang regime, Wang Zongxi and Bai Yuanzhong, attended the ceremony of the completion of the new dock of the Jiangnan Shipyard, he officially placed an order for three large military ships and five medium-sized military ships to the boss of the Jiangnan Shipyard. Wen Fei, an important figure in the Jiangnan literary family, has made strict requirements for the technical requirements of military ships and the Western Xinjiang Military Affairs Administration of various specifications, and has demanded that the first large military ship not be delivered to the navy by March next year at the latest, while the other two must be delivered to the navy by August next year, together with five other medium-sized ships. Of course, after the ceremony, Ling Tianfang specially met with the head of the Wen family, the Cultural Revolution and Wen Fei, the director of the Jiangnan Shipyard, and also made some specific arrangements for the requirements of His Royal Highness King Qin.

Immediately after that, Ling Tianfang announced the formal establishment of the Great Eastern Ocean Fleet of the Western Xinjiang Navy, the headquarters of the Great Eastern Fleet was located in Yuhang Military Port, and the former Imperial Navy Headquarters would become the headquarters of the Great Eastern Ocean Fleet, and the Great Eastern Ocean Fleet would have three standing fleets, of which the first standing fleet of Yuhang, which was about to take shape, and the reserve military port was Songjiang Zhuangyuanao Military Port.
