Malacca is indeed not the only passage between the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. In fact, you can reach it from the Pacific Ocean whether you take the outside of the Philippines, take a detour to the edge of Australia, take the Makassar Strait, cross the Java Sea, or take the Sunda Strait or the Lombok Strait.
Indian Ocean.
But as Zhou Yu said, the hydrological reefs there are completely different from those in Malacca. Instead of going to places with more wind waves and reefs, it is better to be realistic and take a longer detour to the outside of the Philippines.
Go south past East Timor.
If nothing else, at least the probability of shipwrecks on this road is much smaller than the probability of shipwrecks on several other roads. As for the shortcomings, I am afraid it is a problem of supplies and water.
However, at this point in time, the output of the Southeast Asian islands is still barely enough to support them, and materials and water are not very deadly.
When Gan Ning heard Zhou Yu's words, he understood what Zhou Yu meant. In fact, everyone in the fleet knew that Gan Ning and Meng Kangbu had an old relationship, so it was most appropriate for Gan Ning to resolve the matter himself. As for the final resolution,
Whatever it is, it doesn't matter.
"Okay." Gan Ning didn't say much. He just nodded and expressed his acceptance to leave it to him. Meng Kangbu and he really needed to resolve the matter.
"Organize the complete warships. You can take the fleet south, and I will take the other ships north to the shipyard." Zhou Yu began to plan carefully.
During the battle, Zhou Yu did not care about the losses at all, but after the battle, Zhou Yu began to plan carefully and would never waste any supplies.
Gan Ning nodded, said goodbye to Zhou Yu, and then organized the fleet to go south. Zhou Yu looked at the broken sampan on the sea and couldn't help but shook his head. Maybe Selian didn't expect that he would be defeated like this in the end.
"Have you sent the message to General Bo Fu?" Zhou Yu asked Zhou Tai at the side as he headed north. There was no radio these days, so the transmission of messages was greatly limited.
"It has been sent by Xinying. You should receive the news tomorrow." Zhou Tai nodded and said, "Chang'an also sent it by Xinying. I'm afraid they will be very shocked this time."
"Ha." Zhou Yu smiled, then said nothing, and just stood at the bow of the ship. As the entire broken fleet began to move north, everything changed next.
Chang'an, the second month after Chen Xi left, Zhuge Liang was still working overtime. Speaking of which, I don't know if it was an illusion or something. Li You and Jia Xu always felt that Zhuge Liang had been working overtime. They felt that when they left at night, Zhuge Liang was there. Come in the morning
Zhuge Liang was still there at that time.
"Sure enough, Kong Ming is still working overtime." When Jia Xu came hand in hand with Li You, he saw Zhuge Liang still working under the light.
"Master Li, Master Jia." Zhuge Liang stood up and bowed slightly.
"No, no, you are so young and working overtime so crazily won't cause any problems?" Jia Xu looked at Zhuge Liang and said strangely.
It's not that Jia Xu thinks it's bad for others not to paddle just because he's paddling, he just feels that there's something wrong with Zhuge Liang's situation of working overtime every day. You must know that Zhuge Liang also has two wives. He works overtime every day and has to pay...
Public food will lead to sudden death.
"No." Zhuge Liang lowered his head and looked at his own tendons, "In Zichuan's words, it's probably that only the weak will die suddenly overtime, while the strong will only explode their livers overnight."
"Don't learn from Zichuan. That guy talks in different ways, but see for yourself how he works." Li You glanced at Zhuge Liang and said.
At this time, Liu Ye also yawned and walked in from the door. Zhuge Liang suddenly realized that something big happened on the front line.
"Zhou Gongjin killed Sailian in a frontal battle in the Ryukyu Islands. The Kushan navy was destroyed by more than half. The Kra Canal in the Malay Peninsula has been opened. In addition to Malacca, we have another channel from the Indian Ocean to the Pacific under our control, and the Kushan Navy
After the navy's defeat, the situation in the entire southeast region has completely changed." Jia Xuyan said concisely and comprehensively.
To be honest, Jia Xu was very curious about how Zhou Yu killed Selian. After all, they also had the images of the last naval battle with Selian sent back by Zhou Yu. How can I put it, it was a battle between gods.
However, just over a year later, Zhou Yu killed this monster cleanly, which was really surprising.
"Should I say it's Zhou Gongjin?" Zhuge Liang was also stunned for a moment, and then said quietly.
After they had seen the naval battle before, they all felt that Zhou Yu was still lying flat. According to Chen Xi's plan, they slowly waited until the seventh-generation ship was launched. In the end, Zhou Yu actually killed Selian head-on. This was indeed better than them.
Everyone’s expectations.
"Anyway, after killing Selian, the progress of Sun Ce's forces has successfully surpassed the progress of others, and the situation has really been reversed by Zhou Gongjin." Liu Ye said with emotion.
Perhaps because of the distance, and because Zhou Yu was handsome, capable, and of noble birth, there was no conflict between the two parties. Liu Ye rarely stood up and praised others.
"Yes, this way we have made up for the last shortcoming. When the seventh-generation ship is completed, it will be almost finished." Jia Xu nodded and said, "Send a copy of the secret report to Yanzhou. Speaking of which,
, I heard that the situation there is not very good?"
"Yes, Zichuan went to check over there." Liu Ye sighed. Chen Xi found the things that he did not find out in the audit when he passed by. He is currently investigating. He just doesn't know what the situation is. But generally speaking, Chen Xi
If you do it in person, nothing will be trivial.
"Print the battle report in the newspaper and send it everywhere." Li You suddenly said. The Han Dynasty had not publicized the Southeast Naval War before. In fact, it was mainly because it could not be defeated. Now that the situation has been reversed, it is time to reveal the previous sacrifices.
Out.
"Then the naval battles in the previous two years should also be described together." Zhuge Liang looked at Li You and asked, this involves another issue.
"Let's describe it together. The previous naval battles are briefly written in the Spring and Autumn style. The main focus is how many Kushan fleets were killed this time." Li You's organization was very clear.
"Next we should make a list." Liu Ye looked at Li You and asked.
"Sun Bofu hasn't sent the roster yet, so don't move for now. The detailed battle report and battle damage haven't been sent, so wait." Li You shook his head. According to Li You's estimation, this urgent battle report was written like this
Roughly speaking, I'm afraid Zhou Yu has some other ideas in it.
Liu Ye has also read the original battle report, so he also understands Li You's concerns. In fact, Liu Ye's thinking this time is very simple, just to give Zhou Yu a good deal. After all, after the other party defeats Selian, it will really be a stepping stone.
He climbed onto the throne with the corpse of the old king.
After finalizing some details, Li You and others started to get things going. Therefore, by the time Zhou Yu led the fleet to the Donglai Shipyard, the heads in Donglai had already learned about Zhou Yu's victory over Selian.
"Congratulations, Governor Zhou. From now on, there will be no opponent in the world who can stop your vehicle." Lu Jun went to greet Zhou Yu in person. Looking at the large number of dilapidated battleships, he could feel that Zhou Yu had fought hard.
What kind of war.
"I don't know what will happen in the future. All I can do now is take care of the present." Zhou Yu shook his head, "How long will it take to repair all these ninety warships?"
"We now have a large number of skilled workers, enough to handle the maintenance work of warships, but there are not enough shipyards." Lu Jun said with a headache. Donglai Shipyard is very big, but half of the shipyards are occupied. After all, they not only build
warships and fishing boats.
Although it is possible to postpone the fishing boats, in Lu Jun's view, it is unreasonable for Zhou Yu to sail all the damaged warships to Donglai. After all, not only Donglai has shipyards, but Jiangdong also has shipyards, and from south to north,
The shipyard on the Jiangdong side is closer.
What's more, after Chen Xi asked Donglai to spread the technology, there would be no problems with Jiangdong's shipbuilding, let alone repairing these pseudo-seventh-generation ships.
After all, only with the ability to build pseudo-seventh-generation ships can we take the step to build seventh-generation ships. This is a prerequisite. Therefore, Lu Jun knew very well that Zhou Yu must have other intentions when he brought all the damaged warships over, and it was not pure.
I want to repair a boat.
"It's okay, take your time. I came here more to see the progress of the seventh-generation ship." Zhou Yu had no intention of hiding it. He couldn't kill Selian. Zhou Yu's fleet was just like that, but he killed Selian.
, after proving that he has the ability to travel across the world, many things are different.
"Seventh generation ship, there is no problem." Lu Jun nodded. Not to mention that Zhou Yu had invested in shares back then. Even if he had not invested in shares, if he asked Lu Jun about Zhou Yu's current situation, Lu Jun would also ask Zhou Yu to take a look.
, and make some suggestions for seventh-generation ships.
After all, people like Lu Jun only built ships, while Zhou Yu participated in the war. They built warships from the perspective of technology and engineering structure, while Zhou Yu made suggestions from the perspective of use. Combining the two sides is the most correct way.
.
So Zhou Yu was able to actually see such a super ship that he had always dreamed of. Even though it was still quite far away from being completed, Zhou Yu felt a kind of spiritual impact and shock just standing in the dock. He needed this.
A battleship.
"How long will it take to build it?" Zhou Yu asked his question concisely and comprehensively.
"We have overcome all the structural and power issues, and only the construction is left. It is expected that the theme construction will be completed at the beginning of the next year." Lu Jun thought for a while and said, "At that time, we will also need to assemble the turrets, armor, etc.
But I can definitely play the next year."
"How much steel does this require?" Zhou Yu took a deep breath and asked.
"Thirty-six thousand tons." Lu Jun said without thinking.
"I'll give you 400,000 tons of steel, and you can produce two more ships." Zhou Yu sounded like a wealthy businessman, but he was getting ahead of himself!
