However, it was discovered that the failure of the Japanese spies did not affect Ling Tianfang's attention to several imperial navy fleets. Not surprisingly, these imperial navy generals all showed up unexpectedly after handing over to officials sent from Western Xinjiang. He resigned and asked to go home for retirement. This phenomenon was also expected by Ling Tianfang. If he wanted to convince these guys, he first needed to understand why these guys were unwilling to serve in Xijiang. Now, young adults are showing When you are talented, you hope to go home and retire from work to retire.
The scenery of Huludao can be described as natural, especially in the Jieshi Bay area, which is a rare white sand beach. The water is crystal clear and the beach is wide and gentle. Walking on the beach and facing the warm sea breeze, no matter who you are, you can't help but want it. There is an urge to keep going like this. Jieshi Bay is the only harbor on Huludao that is mainly composed of beaches. It is not suitable for ships to dock, but it is the most suitable place for walking and resting on the island. It has also become the main logistics and dormitory building area of the military port. The remaining three sides of the island are all deep-water port areas known for their deep waters and broad seas, and are also the location of the Huludao Military Port.
Both Sa Zhenhai and Zuo Shichang were a little surprised by the invitation from Ling Tianfang and Lei Cangpu, but they also wanted to hear the thoughts of these Xijiang people from the deep interior. Huo Yunfeng was also lucky enough to be invited. The other two people found it strange that Sa Zhenhai was the commander of the Huludao Squadron, and Zuo Shichang was the commander of the Huludao Military Port. It was reasonable to be invited, but Huo Yunfeng was the captain of an ordinary ship. However, it seems that the fate is somewhat similar to that of Zosa and Zosa. They were both relegated here. However, which of the naval officers in Huludao Military Port was not reprimanded and neglected and sent here. Why did you invite Huo Yunfeng alone? Of course the three people, including Huo Yunfeng, didn't understand that this was just because Lei Cangpu knew these three people.
The beach is very wide, let alone five people walking abreast, even five hundred people walking abreast will not feel crowded. But this beach walk made Zuo Saho and the three of them feel unspeakably depressed. The only opponents were Ling Tianfang, the military director of Western Xinjiang, and the naval commander named Lei Cangpu. I heard that Ling Tianfang was quite a figure. He is highly valued under the command of His Highness the King of Qin. It should be said that some of the current situations in Western Xinjiang are inseparable from this person's contribution. Although the three are naval generals, they are not ignorant of the situation in the empire. The imperial navy has been defeated, and the Situ family's It seems that the world will be replaced by the Li family's world, but the imperial navy has disappeared and the heroes have no place to play. It seems meaningless to linger in this navy. It is better to go home and retire. Take some time off.
These two people clearly intended to be lobbyists. Ling Tianfang is all. This guy named Lei Cangpu looks a bit like a man who lives on the water based on his skin color and eyesight. It’s just that he doesn’t know if he was recruited from the inland navy of the empire or from Taihu or Dongting Lake. Collected water bandits
"Three of you, I have stated my attitude on behalf of His Highness the King of Qin just now. The civil war in the Empire has nothing to do with the navy. His Highness the King of Qin has no idea of using the Imperial Navy to act as pawns. Compared with the three of you, you also know the current situation of the Empire. The navy does not have much strength left. His Highness the King of Qin just hopes that Zhu Ji can do his part to protect our Tanghe sea territory. And I heard that many navy officers, including three, have submitted their resignation letters and returned to their fields. Although this is your freedom to apply for official positions, I still want to understand the reasons why you want to retire from official positions in your prime. I wonder if it is not convenient for you to inform Ling Mou?" Ling Tianfang's attitude was extremely sincere, and his tone was also Totally fair.
Ling Tianfang's introduction just now did make the three of them a little embarrassed. It should be said that they are all defeated generals who cannot speak bravely, but the other party, as the Director of Military Affairs of Western Xinjiang, gave such a nice explanation. It can be said that it gave enough face to the three of them. Even Sa Zhenhai, who was always known for being cold and arrogant, felt that his original attitude was a bit too much. After all, this was just a national civil war and a change of political power. To some extent, the Li Dynasty might have to It is much stronger than the Situ Dynasty. At least the Western Xinjiang under the control of Li Wufeng has never been defeated in the external war, but the Situ family has lost power and humiliated the country for so many years. Anyone who is from Tanghe should understand the difference.
"Master Ling, Master Lei, the three of us have all understood your thoughts. Since Master Ling has said this for this reason, it would be too unreasonable for the three of us to still consider the left and right. It's not that we don't We are willing to stay in the Western Xinjiang Army. We also know that Xijiang has achieved remarkable achievements on land under the leadership of His Highness King Qin. Maybe it won’t be long before His Highness King Qin rules the world. It is really too difficult for us to go to land and learn to fight when we are all struggling on the sea. Lord Ling just talked about asking us to stay in the Western Xinjiang Army to revitalize the navy, but Lord Ling should have seen the current situation. , the entire imperial navy is probably limited to the dozen or so broken ships in Huludao and Quanzhou military ports. There are no more than twenty ships and no more than two thousand soldiers. Revitalizing the navy is not just a matter of empty words. Look at the things around us. The Japanese attach more importance to the navy than any other country. Although it is still far behind the Milan Navy, I won’t think about it for long. It should be reasonable to surpass the Milan Navy to dominate the Atlantic Ocean. "
"The Milanese are also aware of this and are constantly improving their naval strength. The Milanese have a strong shipbuilding industry foundation, and there has always been a tradition of attaching importance to navigation in the country. It is easy to find qualified seamen, which means that they want to Expanding the naval power can be said to be a good idea. Even the current naval power of Mahad and Andako has been on the rise. Perhaps it was the rapid advancement of the Japanese naval power that stimulated them. The naval power of these two countries is also unstoppable. Underestimate. Looking at our imperial navy, the first and second fleets have been completely destroyed, and the third fleet has only a few remnants and defeated generals. How can we revitalize such a situation? You must know that building a powerful navy requires not only a large number of high-tech personnel Warships also require a large number of experienced officers and countless sailors. Moreover, the situation of the navy and the inland navy is not the same. Their requirements are higher than those of the inland navy. Lord Ling, can you tell me, His Highness the King of Qin? Do you have such a plan? If not, you’d better let us go back and take care of ourselves.”
When he said the last sentence, Zuo Shichang's tone had changed from the humble and sincere tone at the beginning to arrogance and indifference. Obviously, this leader in the imperial navy did not believe that Xijiang would be able to revitalize the navy at this time. Plan, everything that was said to appease them was just some comforting words.
After listening to the words representing the opinions of the three people, Ling Tianfang and Lei Cangpu couldn't help but smile knowingly. They never knew why these guys resigned at this time. It turned out that they were worried that Xijiang did not pay enough attention to the navy and were worried about staying here. A broken naval force would only become cannon fodder, which was quite to Ling Tianfang's liking. As long as these people had ideas and ambitions, there was no fear that they would not sacrifice their lives in rebuilding the Atlantic Fleet in Western Xinjiang.
"It turns out that the three of you are worried about this issue, but this is also the purpose of my meeting with the three of you today. We have explained many things, and we can eliminate many misunderstandings. I can tell you clearly that His Highness King Qin Not only must we rebuild the Dadong Ocean Fleet, but we must also build the Dadong Ocean Fleet into a fleet that can play a decisive role in the entire Atlantic Ocean. In other words, whether it is the Japanese, the Milanese, or the Three Kingdoms Alliance, anyone Nothing can hinder our freedom of navigation in the Atlantic Ocean, and our navy must take back those lands that once belonged to us but were taken away by outsiders. This is the purpose and significance of our new Atlantic Ocean fleet. !" Ling Tianfang proudly raised his chest and said word by word.
Some looked at each other in confusion, obviously shocked by Ling Tianfang's eloquent words, but building a navy is not just empty words, it requires real investment, and Xijiang is now Can we spend our main energy on this? You must know that the war in the north is not over yet, and everything is still uncertain.
"Lord Ling, please forgive me for being reckless, but do you know how much it costs to build a decent naval fleet? In addition, I also want to ask, how large a naval fleet is the Atlantic Fleet you mentioned? How do you plan to build this Atlantic naval fleet?" Suppressing the excitement and hesitation in his heart, Sa Zhenhai swallowed his saliva and was a little unable to hold back at first. A series of questions blurted out, and his reserve and cold arrogance had already disappeared. Disappeared without a trace. He is the most unwilling to leave the Navy. He has lived on the ship all his life. The Navy is almost his home. However, the current situation of the Imperial Navy is really disappointing. Now I heard that it has been taken over by His Highness King Qin. His Highness King Qin came from the northwest. Lu Qi's family, can he realize the importance of the navy? These doubts have been haunting him, and Ling Tianfang's words seemed to arouse a glimmer of hope in him.
The fish finally took the bait, and both Ling Tianfang and Lei Cangpu had a knowing smile on their faces. As long as they aroused the interest of these guys, they were not afraid that they would not stay. What these neglected naval officers longed for most was to be able to Show off your talents on the sea and make the enemy tremble and moan at the feet of your fleet. If you can provide them with a stage for them to show themselves to their heart's content, are you afraid that they will not obediently be used by Xijiang
