Gao Shaoyi has been here for five days. During these five days, he has carefully checked the defense of Haicheng. After all, after he went south, this place will be the northern barrier of the entire Daqian Empire.
Although the Daqian Empire does not yet belong to Gao Shaoyi, this guy already regards the north as his own territory, and must not let others take out his retreat. The main fleets of Western countries are not here, most of them are second-tier fleets, and even more Besides, Gao Shaoyi has a good relationship with them now, so he doesn't have to worry about them. The only thing he has to worry about is Dong Di Kingdom.
This is also one of the reasons why Gao Shaoyi went to Dongdi Kingdom to show off his power.
Gao Shaoyi even has another plan in his mind. If he can be persuaded well, then it is good, but if Dong Di country does not know what is good and what is good, our fleet will teach them a lesson first. Anyway, follow the instructions to go south. The size of the fleet has already exceeded the current strength of the Dongdi Navy.
If there is such a good opportunity, Gao Shaoyi will never sit still and wait for death. He will directly order his fleet to carry out a sneak attack and kill the Dongdi Kingdom's fleet.
Of course, this may be a defeat without force, but for Gao Shaoyi, our face is thicker than the city wall. What's the big deal? The worst is that we will be scolded by others for a while. Anyway, this world can only remember the winner. At that time, all history was written by ourselves.
"How is the heavy cruiser adapting?"
Gao Shaoyi saw the fleet slowly returning in the distance. The fleet had been training outside for a long time.
"When I return to my country, my father, because the time is too short, I can only use 40% of our combat effectiveness. If we take a walk around Dongdi Country, I guarantee that there will be no mistakes. But if we really fight, , still needs to be considered."
Zhu Jiugong is different from other people. This guy does things more safely. The navy is full of brave guys. Even if he only has two or three warships, he still dares to use speed to provoke other countries' warships. During this time It can be said that this kind of thing happens frequently in various northern ports, and it is all caused by these courageous officers.
But Zhu Jiugong will make calculations before doing anything. If he is not completely sure, the old man will not go to war first. After all, our fleet is hard-won. It has taken many years to have such a fleet, and it cannot be wasted.
"How much strength does the Dongdi Navy still have now? How big is the gap compared with our southbound fleet?"
When Gao Shaoyi asked this question, there was not much difference among the naval personnel around him. Since the formation of the fleet, they had targeted the navy of Dongdi Kingdom as their first imaginary enemy. And even if there is no conflict between the two countries during this period, our The secret agents have not been idle either, and have been sending back all kinds of news from the mainland of Dongdi.
Zhu Jiugong recalled it carefully and immediately made a report to Gao Shaoyi.
The Dongdi Kingdom lost one-third of its fleet in Haicheng and the southern provinces lost four warships. At present, the Dongdi Kingdom's navy only has nine 5,000-ton capital ships and six three-class warships, in addition to the warships under repair. The strength of the thousand-ton warships, plus eleven small warships of less than two thousand tons, is much lower than before.
The most important thing is that these warships are not gathered together, but are scattered in two ports. The Hengfu Port we are going to visit this time is the largest port and the first military port of Dongdi Kingdom. It should have the Dongdi Navy.
More than sixty percent.
"In addition, after suffering a loss in Haicheng last time, Dongdi Kingdom ordered a batch of new warships from the Windsor Empire, about two six-thousand-ton ironclads, and three four-thousand-ton light cruisers.
, these warships have been launched and will arrive in Dongdi in three months at the latest."
After hearing this number, Gao Shaoyi's face was not nervous at all. We have unique conditions in terms of the navy. We can produce 2,400 tons of warships every day. Compared with these countries, we are really in the sky.
, even if your navy is very sophisticated, it still can't keep up with the equipment of warships.
I'm afraid that if you don't lose, as long as you lose a warship, even if you use the strength of the whole country, I'm afraid there will be no way to recover it. By the time your warship is built, we will have already occupied your territory.
"What is Dongdi's own shipbuilding capability?"
Although Dongdi Kingdom has always claimed that it is already a world power, Gao Shaoyi knows that among the six major powers, Dongdi Kingdom has always been at the bottom. What's more, if you are a world power, why would you go to Western countries to buy warships?
?Wouldn’t it be better to build on the slipway in your own country?
"Currently, we can only build three-thousand-ton warships, and the ones we build are still full of flaws."
Zhu Jiugong thought of the two 3,000-ton ironclads built by Dongdi Kingdom. Because their speed was too slow, they could only perform patrol missions in offshore areas. If they were to fight in distant sea areas, they would be able to fly at any time with their snail-like speed.
They may all become targets for the enemy.
Gao Shaoyi looked back and saw that most of the people here were his own.
"I have an idea..."
After everyone heard this, they were a little nervous for no reason. You must know that our Duke is not a normal person. His ideas are basically very bold, and this time is definitely no exception.
Take the opportunity to capture the Dongdi Navy?
When Gao Shaoyi said these words, everyone present, including Zhu Jiugong, were dumbfounded. Our Duke was really a bit brave.
We all know that the navy of the Rakshasa Empire suffered a lot on the road, and may have exhausted all its energy when it came to the waters of the Daqian Empire, but after all, it was a huge fleet composed of dozens of warships. If we can successfully
Taking over Dongdi will definitely be a good thing for us.
But what if we cannot take Dongdi and suffer heavy losses?
"My lord, my subordinates think this is inappropriate. Of course, everyone is happy if we win, but if we lose, no one in the coastal areas can resist the navy of the Rakshasa Empire. The risk to us will be greater than
The results of the battle..."
Zhu Jiugong hesitated for a moment, but finally said what he said. Although he could defeat Dong Di Country after winning, it would be the icing on the cake, but what if he lost?
The coast of the Daqian Empire is not secure, and all parts of the country will be plunged into war. By then, the current situation will be broken, and I don’t know how many people will become refugees...
