Chapter 604 What a poor sailor!

"Master Ji is right, Your Majesty, the navy is indeed too expensive, and King Hongxi's management has been very mediocre in recent years. There is no decent shipyard, so the Zhenxi Army only has twenty warships and fifty patrol boats."

Di Hu took over the conversation.

"Mad! That's it? Is this the output of Haixi County's shipyard?"

Ximen Hao suddenly found that his empire would be stuck on the ship.

"Replying to your Majesty, it's not the case, because the shipyards only build fishing boats and merchant ships. The cost of building warships is too high, and the materials used cannot be careless, so the output is very low."

As Di Hu spoke, he simply took out a map, shook it out with one hand, pointed at the map and said:

"Your Majesty, the Zhenxi Army's garrison is mainly on the land route leading to Luo Kingdom and Han Kingdom. To defend the Japanese country, there is no need for naval battles. It only needs to be stationed on the shore to prevent them from logging in."

"Actually, Japan's naval power is also very average. Because for strong men like us who can fly, a battleship will be completely destroyed as long as one move breaks the bottom of the ship."

"So, the main role of warships is to transport troops, because they are faster than fishing boats and merchant ships."

After saying that, he put away the map.

The meaning is obvious. In this world of strong men, naval battles and the like are almost impossible to achieve.

Because the strong destroy ships in the air, and the weak can only be buried in the sea. No country spends a lot of money to build warships, and then they are destroyed by the strong in a few moves.

"So, we will never encounter a large-scale naval battle?"

Ximen Hao vaguely understood. It seemed that he searched his memory and found that Qingguo had not had a naval battle with any country.

Border frictions are all on land.

"That's right! Your Majesty, I have been stationed here for more than half a year, and have simulated many scenarios of sending troops to the other three countries. Except for the Japanese country, which needs to use ships to transport troops, neither the Luo Kingdom nor the Han Kingdom require naval battles."

Di Hu explained.

Ximen Hao touched his chin and thought for a moment, then stood up and swept down all the plates on the table:

"Xiao Ji, simulation disk."

"Cough cough cough!"

Ji Wubing coughed a few times and went up, took out his magic weapon and put it on the table.

"Buzz!"

As the aura flickered, the simulation disk grew larger, and then began to change automatically, simulating the border of the Qing Kingdom, as well as the borders of the Japanese, Han, and Luo Kingdoms.

Ximen Hao looked at the simulation board. On one side was the defense line of the Qing Kingdom, on the other side was the defense line of the Three Kingdoms, with a large sea area in between.

Seen this way, it's much clearer than the map.

"So that's how it is. It's much clearer this way."

Ximen Hao looked at the simulation disk and finally understood why Qingguo had to face three countries at the same time.

It turns out that the land route between Han State and Luo State stood at half of Qing's defense line. It was like a trumpet. As it went toward the two countries, the area became larger, and finally it became the boundary between the two countries.

The Japanese country belongs to a separate large isolated island, which corresponds to nearly half of the Qingguo's defense line!

"Ahem! Your Majesty, you see, these two trumpet-like roads are easy to defend and difficult to attack. This is why the Han and Luo Kingdoms have failed to invade from time to time over the years. It is also very difficult for the Japanese to land on the beach.

big……"

Ji Wubing took a small stick and started talking.

Everyone gathered around, including Di Hu, who was already familiar with the terrain.

A picture automatically appeared in Ximen Hao's mind, and he kept the simulation disk firmly in his mind.

Everyone originally came to visit His Majesty the Emperor who had just woken up, but they never thought it would turn into a military discussion.

Ji Wubing clicked on the simulation board repeatedly, and the scene of thousands of troops charging seemed to appear in front of everyone's eyes, and the sounds of killing were heard in their ears.

I don't know how long it took, maybe because he was too tired, Ji Wubing stopped, but everyone's thoughts were still on the simulation disk.

"Okay, don't look at them all. Marshal Di, take me to see those battleships."

Ximen Hao already had an idea in mind. He wanted to see those battleships first to see the specific situation.

"As you command, Your Majesty!"



As Di Hu said, these warships were mainly used to defend against sneak attacks and landings by the Japanese fleet.

Therefore, twenty warships and fifty patrol boats are all located at the southernmost part of the defense line, which is the area corresponding to the Japanese country.

Ximen Hao stood on the berthing platform, looking at the twenty large ships and fifty small ships on the sea, and felt a little powerless for a moment.

A large ship is a so-called warship. It is filled with soldiers holding weapons. Counting sailors, such a warship can accommodate a thousand people.

The hull is wrapped in rust-proof steel, and there are two rows of large crossbows on both sides of the ship. These can be regarded as the weapons of the warship.

The small boat is also the so-called patrol boat. It has a thin hull and sharp ends. It is mainly used for speed.

There were no more than a hundred soldiers standing on it, and there were also two rows of crossbows.

Ximen Hao finally understood why Di Hu asked him to come to see him. What the hell, the total number of soldiers could not even be 30,000.

And with the wood-clad iron hull, he was confident that he could cut a big hole with one slash.

As for those patrol boats, he could dismantle them with at least three moves.

"Alas...my dream of a naval battle came to nothing."

Ximen Hao sighed helplessly, and completely threw away the scene that he had imagined before, that he was standing on a warship, commanding countless warships to fight!

"Ahem! Your Majesty, forget about large-scale naval battles. Small-scale naval battles can satisfy you. Now either we fight or they fight over."

Ji Wubing had known about it for a long time, so it was not a surprise.

Ximen Hao looked at the pitiful dozens of ships, and then looked at the small island thousands of miles away.

Well, in his eyes, the Japanese country is just a small island.

This is still in his eyes, ordinary people can't see it at all.

"Xiao Ji, are Niu Dazhuang and the others here?"

"Back to Your Majesty, we will arrive in three days at most."

Ximen Hao raised his eyebrows and showed a smile:

"Well, let's build the diving suit first. During this time, we will integrate all the shipyards. I will draw the drawings myself and build a super warship!"

"The next task is to recruit large merchant ships and fishing boats to let the soldiers adapt to the ships to avoid seasickness."

"Oh, by the way, your general staff will make a detailed plan. I hope that when they attack the Japanese country, Han and Luo will have no time to take care of it."

Ji Wubing's eyes lit up, and he was extremely excited inside.

He knew that an aggressive war that would shock the Tianqing Continent was about to break out!

"My lord, I obey!"

Ximen Hao turned around, looked at all the generals behind him, and said loudly:

"Half a year! I will give you half a year! Train your troops well! I will take you to conquer them!"

After saying that, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the other side of the sea.

The generals present were immediately excited. They were warriors. They were eager for war and even more eager to conquer!

"I am willing to go through fire and water for His Majesty! I will do whatever it takes!"

"Hahaha! Isn't it just a thousand miles of sea? It can't stop me!"

Ximen Hao stood in the wind, his imperial aura bursting out, shocking everyone.
