Chapter 1200

However, it was not surprising that the defeat of the Japanese spies did not affect Ling Tianfang's attention to several Imperial naval generals. After handing over to the officials sent by the Western Xinjiang, these Imperial naval generals resigned and asked to go home to retire. This phenomenon was within Ling Tianfang's expectations. If you want to convince these guys, you must first understand why these guys are unwilling to serve in Western Xinjiang. When you are young and middle-aged people show their talents, you hope to go home to retire and retire.

The scenery of Huludao is natural, especially in the Jieshi Bay area, which is a rare white sand shoal. The sea water is clear and the beach is wide and gentle. Walking on the beach and facing the warm sea breeze, no one can help but have the urge to keep going like this. Jieshi Bay is the only harbor on Huludao that is mainly beach-based. It is not suitable for ships to stop, but it is the most suitable place for walking and rest on the island. It has also become the main logistics and dormitory building area of ​​the military port. The other three sides of the island are all deep water port areas named as deep water bays, and it is also the location of Huludao military port.

Both Sa Zhenhai and Zuo Shichang were surprised by the invitation from Ling Tianfang and Lei Cangpu, but they also wanted to hear the ideas of these Westerners from deep inland. Huo Yunfeng was also fortunate to be invited, which made the other two feel strange. Sa Zhenhai was the commander of the Huludao squadron, while Zuo Shichang was the commander of the Huludao Military Port. It was reasonable to be invited, while Huo Yunfeng was a captain of an ordinary ship, but it seemed that his fate was somewhat similar to Zuo Sa and both were demoted. But which of the naval officers in the Huludao Military Port was not deposed and left behind and left for being slapped here? Why did they invite Huo Yunfeng only? Of course, the three people, including Huo Yunfeng, did not understand that this was just because Lei Cangpu knew these three people.

The beach was very wide. Not to mention that five people walked in a row, even five hundred people would not feel crowded when they thought it would be difficult to feel crowded. However, this stroll by the sea made Zuo Saho and the other party feel indescribable depression. The other party was the military affairs director Ling Tianfang of the Western Xinjiang and the naval commander named Lei Cangpu. Ling Tianfang heard that he was a person who was highly valued under the command of His Highness of the Qin King. It should be said that the current situation in Xijiang is inseparable from this person's contribution. Although the three of them were naval generals, they were not ignorant of the situation in the imperial world. The imperial naval army had collapsed, and the world of the Situ family seemed to be replaced by the Li family. However, the imperial naval army had disappeared and the heroes had no place to use their skills. It seemed meaningless to delay in this naval army. It would be better to go home to retire and seek leisure.

These two people obviously intend to be lobbyists, so it would be fine if Ling Tianfang was just called Lei Cangpu. The guy who looked at his skin color was a bit like a man who was trying to make a living on the water. But I don’t know if it was someone dug from the empire’s land naval army or a water bandit recruited from Taihu Lake or Dongting Lake?

"Three, I have already expressed my attitude on behalf of His Highness the King of Qin just now. The imperial civil war has nothing to do with the navy. His Highness the King of Qin has no idea of ​​using the imperial navy to act as a pawn. Compared to the three, I also know that the imperial navy now has not much power left. His Highness just hopes that you can protect me from the Tanghe Sea and the sea. I heard that many navy officers, including the three, have submitted applications to understand the retirement of Jiaguitian. Although this is your freedom, I still want to understand the reasons why you are in your prime but want to retire. I wonder if you are not convenient for you to tell Ling?" Ling Tianfang's attitude was extremely sincere, and his tone was also pertinent.

Ling Tianfang's introduction just now did make the three of them feel a little embarrassed. It should be said that they were all defeated generals who were defeated. However, as the head of the Western Xinjiang Military Affairs Office, the other party gave such a kind explanation and introduction, which gave the three people a good face. Even Sa Zhenhai, who has always been known for his coldness, felt that his attitude was a bit too much. After all, this was just a national civil war and a change of power. To a certain extent, the Li Dynasty may be much stronger than the Situ Dynasty. At least the war in Western Xinjiang under the control of Li Wufeng has not been defeated, and the Situ family has lost power and humiliated the country for so many years. As long as it is the people of Tanghe, they should understand the difference.

"Mr. Ling, Lord Lei, we all understand the feelings of the two. Since Lord Ling talks about this, if we still care about the things, it would be too unkind. It's not that we don't want to stay in the Western Army, we also know that Xijiang has achieved a record of shocking the past and present on land under the leadership of His Highness King Qin. Maybe it won't take long for His Highness King Qin to rule the world. However, the three of us have been struggling on this sea all our lives. It is indeed too difficult for us to go to land to learn war. Ling. Lord Ling just talked about asking us to stay in the Western Army to revitalize the navy, but Lord Ling should have seen the current situation. The entire imperial navy is probably the ten broken ships in Huludao and Quanzhou military ports. There are only twenty ships and only two thousand soldiers. This revitalization of the navy is not just a few empty words. Look at the navy around us. The Japanese attach more importance to the navy than any country. Although it is still a certain distance from the Milan Navy, I can't think of it for long. It should be reasonable to surpass the Milan Navy to dominate the East Ocean."

"The Milanese people also realized this and constantly improved their naval strength. The Milanese have a strong foundation in the shipbuilding industry, and the country has always had a tradition of paying attention to navigation. It is easy to find qualified seafarers. In other words, they can be said to be at ease if they want to expand their naval power. Even the naval power of Mahad and Andako is currently on an upward trend. Perhaps it is the rapid advancement of the Japanese naval power that stimulated them, and the naval power of these two countries should not be underestimated. On the contrary, our empire The Navy, the First and Second Fleet have been completely destroyed, and the Third Fleet is only a few defeated generals. How to revitalize this way? You should know that building a powerful navy requires not only a large number of high-tech warships, but also a large number of experienced officers, and countless sailors. The situation of the navy and inland navy is different. Their requirements are higher than that of the inland navy. Lord Ling, can you tell me that His Royal Highness Qin has such a plan? If not, you should let us go back to raise our elderly care."

When he said the last sentence, Zuo Shichang's tone had changed from humility and sincerity at the beginning to arrogance and coldness. Obviously, the best among the imperial navy did not believe that Xijiang would have plans to revitalize the navy at this time. Everything they said was just some comforting words.

After listening to the opinions of the three representatives, Ling Tianfang and Lei Cangpu couldn't help but smile knowingly. They didn't know why these guys resigned at this time. They turned out to be worried that Xijiang would not pay enough attention to the navy and that staying in this broken navy would only become cannon fodder. This is quite similar to Ling Tianfang's appetite. As long as these people have ideas and ambitions, they are not afraid that they will not work hard on the road to rebuilding the Great Eastern Fleet in Western Xinjiang.

"It turns out that the three are worried about this issue, but this is exactly the purpose of my appointment with the three today. After we explain many things, we can eliminate many misunderstandings. I can tell the three clearly that His Highness, the King of Qin, not only needs to rebuild the Great East Ocean Navy fleet, but also build the Great East Ocean Navy fleet into a fleet that can play a decisive role in the entire Great East Ocean. In other words, no one can hinder our right to free navigation in the Great East Ocean. Our navy will take back the land that once belonged to us and was taken away by outsiders. This is the purpose and significance of our new Great East Ocean Navy fleet!" Ling Tianfang proudly said with a proud heart.

Some of them exchanged their eyes in surprise, obviously shocked by Ling Tian's slander. However, building a navy is not something that can be uttered by empty words, so it requires real investment. Can Xijiang spend its main energy on it now? You must know that the war in the north is not over yet, and everything is still in the uncertainties.

"Mr. Ling, please forgive me for being reckless. Do you know how much it costs to build a decent naval fleet? In addition, I would like to ask, what size is the Great East Ocean Navy fleet you mentioned? How do you plan to build this Great East Ocean Navy fleet?" Sa Zhenhai, who suppressed the excitement and hesitation in his heart, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, could not hold back first, and a series of questions rushed out, and the reserve and arrogance just now had disappeared. He was the least willing to leave the navy. He lived on the ship for a lifetime, and the navy was almost his home, but the current situation of the Imperial Navy is indeed disappointing. Now he heard that he was taken over by His Highness Qin again. His Highness Qin is a home from the northwest inland. Can he realize the importance of the navy? These doubts have been entangled with him, and Ling Tian's words seemed to arouse a glimmer of hope.
