Gao Shaoyi's words made the remaining people even more confused. The beating speed was too fast. The matter of Rakshasa Kingdom has not been resolved yet. Should we start negotiations with Dongdi Kingdom now?
"Master Marquis, the Rakshasa Empire's fleet is about to depart. Should we respond to this matter first? Dongdi Kingdom has been here for a long time, and it is impossible to make much progress for the time being."
Ding Kui knew that he was from the navy and didn't know much about this kind of diplomatic negotiations, but he had to say more at this time. The navy of the Rakshasa Empire was really under too much pressure. They were outside Daliao Port.
It defeated the navy of the Rakshasa Empire, but it was only the second-line army of the Rakshasa Empire.
Although the others did not say anything, the expressions on their faces were the same. They also felt that the most important thing now was the navy of the Rakshasa Empire. As for those in the Dongdi Concession, they were like a puddle of mud at the moment, and we did not need to worry about it at all.
.
"Things are happening step by step. I already have the steps in mind. If you do what I say, you will definitely be able to win in the end. You can go back and train your army first, but you have to change your home port."
Gao Shaoyi never looked back from beginning to end, but everyone knew that these words were meant for Ding Kui. Haicheng has always been their home port. If not here, where else could they go? Do they want to go?
Daliao Port? But if the warships of the Rakshasa Empire attack Haicheng, wouldn't we have no fleet here?
"Where does the Marquis want us to go?"
Ding Kui's forehead was numb now, and he didn't know what Gao Shaoyi was thinking.
"Go here, Nandong Port, the military port in Nandong Province."
Gao Shaoyi pointed to the southernmost tip of the Daqian Dynasty, Nandong Port, which is about several thousand miles away. It is also the largest port in the south of the entire Daqian Empire. It was originally the location of the Nanyang Fleet, but now it only has a false name.
"Master Hou, that is not our territory..."
Ding Kui said incredulously, it turns out that the contradiction between Beiyang and Nanyang cannot be reconciled. Now you want to go to the territory of the Nanyang Fleet. Although the Nanyang Fleet no longer has warships, you can't just go to Nanyang if you want.
Eastern Province is Zhang Dashuai's territory. Zhang Dashuai controls three provinces and has an army of nearly 300,000 people. This is no joke.
"I know that's not our territory, and I'm not asking you to leave now. Just be prepared and leave in a month. I will negotiate this matter with Marshal Zhang."
Gao Shaoyi said very confidently, but none of the people present looked at this matter very optimistically. Marshal Zhang is very persistent in his territory. If others send troops into his territory, I am afraid it will arouse the resentment of this old guy.
, and this is something that has never happened before. Of course, this does not mean that Gao Shaoyi cannot do it. After all, Gao Shaoyi has done a lot of things that turn decay into magic.
Li Hongtang suddenly thought that Marshal Zhang was going to Beijing at the end of this month, and perhaps Gao Shaoyi wanted to negotiate at this time.
"Go down and get ready. Intensify training during this period. I can give you a general idea first. The fleet of the Rakshasa Empire must not enter our waters. The first place we can discover it is Nandong Port. As long as it is discovered
If you defeat them, you must lead the fleet to annihilate them, and I will ask Ding Qun and others to support you later."
After Gao Shaoyi finished speaking, the people present were even more shocked. Gao Shaoyi wanted to make a desperate move and concentrate all the naval power in his hands. If he succeeded, maybe the Daqian Empire could become famous and even stand among the great naval powers. , but if it fails, the newly established navy of the Daqian Empire may fall short.
"Master Hou, isn't this too risky?"
Ding Kui is not afraid of death, but he also feels that Gao Shaoyi's decision is too arbitrary. Just now he said that he did not want his men to die, but why is there a decisive battle now?
"It's just a preliminary idea now. Nothing has been implemented yet. Just prepare according to this first. During this time, I will send you more warships. You should still work hard as the original policy." To train sailors.”
Gao Shaoyi will never let his men die. It is not a simple matter for the warships of the Rakshasa Empire to come over. As long as Gao Shaoyi negotiates with Mr. George, then the Windsor Empire can help him blockade various maritime arteries. Rakshasa Empire The empire's warships can only sail on the high seas and cannot sail on the territory of the Windsor Empire, so it will take at least eight months for them to come here, or even longer...
During this period of time, Gao Shaoyi stepped up preparations for war. If he could defeat the crown prince of the Rakshasa Empire during this period, it would be an even greater blow to their navy.
What's more, if such a large fleet from the Rakshasa Empire comes to the coast of the Daqian Empire, it is not a good thing for the other major powers. As long as Gao Shaoyi uses it properly, the major powers will help.
Others couldn't figure out some of the things here, but Li Hongtang has always been an expert in diplomacy and quickly understood what Gao Shaoyi meant. It was just that this was a bit too bold, but considering the actual situation now, it would be okay not to do this. The other way is to take a gamble.
Gao Shaoyi put his head in order. The relationship between the Windsor Empire and the Gallic Empire needs to be improved.
The two countries have many colonies on the way of the Rakshasa Empire. They cannot be allowed to provide supplies to the Rakshasa Empire's fleet. In this way, the Rakshasa Empire will definitely be timid when choosing a supply location, waiting for them. The fleet has traveled a long distance, and it's good to have half of its combat effectiveness left.
Of course, it is difficult to achieve this wish by relying on one's own strength, but Gao Shaoyi has other helpers, namely the Dongdi Kingdom and the Morgan Empire.
Neither of these two countries care about the growth of other great empires in the Daqian Dynasty. As long as they give a little guidance, they will probably send specialized people to help them lobby the Windsor Empire and the Gallic Empire.
This is also the reason why Gao Shaoyi asked just now to what extent the negotiations with Dongdi State had reached.
"The negotiations have made some progress. The Dongdi Kingdom agreed to surrender, but they did not agree with the compensation proposed by us. They could use two domestic concessions to offset the debt, but they refused to pay..."
