It should be said that Ling Tianfang's words deeply touched the three of them. The rise of the Japanese in the East has caused the Tanghe Empire to lose its maritime power in the East, and the treasure island, Kamchaka Island and Ryukyu Islands were occupied one after another. This is undoubtedly a huge humiliation for the navy soldiers, but the empire that was trapped in division and civil war had no power to pay attention to these issues. The strong rise of His Highness the King of Qin seems to have made them see another glimmer of hope. Ling Tianfang's words are heartfelt, how can the three of them not feel the same?

After a while, the five people were just strolling on the beach. The three Imperial Navy officers were a little confused at this time. They had no doubts about the enthusiasm and sincerity of Western Xinjiang, but enthusiasm and sincerity did not represent reality. To build an ideal naval fleet, it does not rely solely on feelings, which requires real investment. Although Ling Tianfang's promise, the funding issue is quite difficult for any newly established dynasty, not to mention that Western Xinjiang is still working hard to seize the world. They are still doubting whether Western Xinjiang can have this determination.

"Mr. Ling, Lord Lei, all three of us can understand your kindness and enthusiasm. As Tanghe people, if we are indifferent to foreign enemies invading our seas and seizing our land, then he is not worthy of being a Tanghe people. Since you have already said this, if the three of us still shirk responsibility and retreat, it will seem that we are too heartless. We accept the invitation from you and stay. We are willing to build a powerful Eastern Navy for His Highness Qin, but we also take the initiative to say something, or say something is right first.

, If the construction of the navy, His Highness of Qin could not follow or be too far from the conditions promised by Lord Ling, the three of us would have to resign. The navy is not as good as the army. It is almost impossible for a navy without strength to defend its territorial sovereignty. As for personnel issues, I think a group of personnel should be selected from the Huludao squadron to be used as candidates for the establishment of the Great East Ocean Navy. In addition, I don’t know what the situation of the newly built Naval Academy in Xijiang is, can we also send a group of experienced personnel to form this Great East Ocean Fleet?"

The three of them exchanged their eyes, and finally Zuo Shichang took the lead and said this. Once a decision was made, they directly entered the substantive issue. Obviously, they were extremely worried about the huge pressure and threats facing the sea front of the Tanghe Empire, and were eager to change the current situation of the navy. From this point alone, it can be seen that the three people have no selfish thoughts on defending the interests of the country and nation, but only have a high sense of responsibility for the entire navy.

"Okay! Let's just say it. If Ling can't do this, the three left the Western Navy, Ling, naturally, had nothing to say. If Ling did everything Ling promised just now, I hope that the three can do their best to build this brand new Eastern Ocean fleet!"

Ling Tianfang also said half a word of nonsense, and went straight to the topic: "The Great East Ocean Fleet has Yuhang as the main port, and Yuhang will also be the core military port of the entire Great East Ocean Fleet, so I would like to ask the three to sort out and select them first, and set off for Yuhang immediately. Jiangnan Shipyard and Southeast Shipyard have signed shipbuilding agreements with Xijiang, and it is estimated that construction will be started soon. In terms of military port management and maintenance and ship design and construction, I would like to ask Lord Sa Zhenhai to ask Lord Zuo Shichang to be fully responsible for the planning, construction and management of the entire Great East Ocean Fleet. First of all, I also want to ask Lord Huo Yunfeng to temporarily bear this burden. As for the personnel aspects, it is necessary to be allocated and transferred.

All three can decide for themselves. If you have the chance, I would like to invite three to the Naval Academy in the South China Sea. If you have any other questions, you can discuss with Lord Lei. However, although this shipbuilding plan has been issued to Jiangnan Shipyard and Southeast Shipyard, it will take some time. In Milan, I and Lord Lei have decided to allocate it to the First Standing Fleet as a flagship for the flagship. In addition, there are two old-fashioned large military ships in Quanzhou military port, although they are a little dilapidated, they can still be used after repair. At present, the entire Southeast Sea Defense only has this little asset, but I believe that in the near future, our Great East Ocean Fleet will appear on the wild blue waves of the Great East Ocean in a brand new posture!”

Immediately, the new large military ships built by the Milans were in place. The three of them couldn't help but feel a sense of joy on their faces. They didn't know how Western Xinjiang could let the Milans help Western Xinjiang to build military ships. However, this also means that Western Xinjiang is afraid that they will really spare no effort to develop the navy. It seems that the Japanese invasion of the coastal coast has made His Highness, the King of Qin, who is about to unify the empire, feel a deep pain, and this is a good opportunity for the rise of the Great Eastern Navy fleet.

Just as Ling Tianfang and Lei Cangpu stayed in Huludao for a few days, Zuo Shichang, Sa Zhenhai and Huo Yunfeng, who were fully motivated, began to make big moves. In addition to selecting a group of experienced and motivated naval officers for Ling Tianfang and Lei Cangpu to examine, Zuo Shichang, as the main planner of the construction of the Great East Ocean Fleet, immediately took on heavy responsibilities, selecting personnel, allocating ships, and making plans. A series of complicated work made him dizzy. Fortunately, his loyal old subordinates quickly gained the recognition of Ling Tianfang and quickly took up his post to help him share the heavy work.

Sa Zhenhai also acted as Zuo Shichang's assistant. In addition to dispatching ships to contact the shipyard to arrange the maintenance and restart of the military port, Sa Zhenhai also has an extremely important responsibility, which is to work with several officials brought by Lei Cangpu to build the Dongyang Branch of the Naval Intelligence Bureau. The main task is to collect the situation of the entire Great East Ocean's coastal defense. The focus is on the Japanese, the construction and activities of the navy of various parties, the development of ship manufacturing technology, the current situation of islands in the coastal areas, the collection and sorting of various sea maps and maps, and the collection of nearby ports, especially military ports. A few complicated work sentences pushed Sa Zhenhai out of breath, but in his own words, he had been idle for so long, and could work happily, even if he was hard or tired, he would be happy!

Huo Yunfeng's responsibility was even clearer. He immediately led some sailors and sailors to Quanzhou Military Port to receive the ships anchored there. If they need repairs, they immediately entered the Southeast Shipyard for maintenance. Before the Yuhang and Quanzhou Military Ports were repaired, they could only start daily training with Huludao as the home port.

This time, Ling Tianfang's Southeastern luggage was granted full power, and he also used this power to the extreme without hesitation. In addition to appointing Zuo Shichang as the first commander of the Great East Ocean Fleet, he also appointed Sa Zhenhai as the deputy commander of the Great East Ocean Fleet and the first commander of the Yuhang Military Port Base. Huo Yunfeng was appointed as the commander of the First Standing Fleet of the Great East Ocean Fleet. Several other officers who received recommendations were also appointed by Ling Tianfang. A large number of officers were promoted to middle and senior officers in succession. This was simply unimaginable in the Imperial Navy. Of course, all this was a move of power. The appointment of all senior officials also required the security department to pass the political review of these people before it could take effect after the order was signed by His Highness the King of Qin. At present, they could only be temporary acting positions.

The re-recruitment of the former Imperial Navy officers and soldiers was also fully launched. This work has received a warm response in various places. The Imperial Navy officers led by Zuo Shichang and Sa Zhenhai played a very good driving role. The generous treatment of military officers and soldiers in Western Xinjiang has also caused many Imperial Navy officers and soldiers to come one after another, and even impersonate imperial navy soldiers to join the army. This has also brought great pressure and trouble to the political review work of the security department and local internal departments. But in general, everything is proceeding according to the established plan, and even Ling Tianfang did not expect the smooth progress.

On October 23, 699, Ling Tianfang secretly visited the Kingdom of Milan and consulted with important officials such as Louis XI, King of the Kingdom of Milan and Prime Minister Duke Bedoridge, on the establishment of the new regime and the support of the Kingdom of Milan to the Western Xinjiang Navy on the establishment of the new regime and the support of the Kingdom of Milan to the Western Xinjiang Navy. The two sides agreed that after Li Wufeng entered the imperial capital, the Kingdom of Milan would first recognize the orthodox status of the new regime and promised to help the Western Xinjiang Navy build military ship agreement to be effective, and agreed to accept Western Xinjiang students to enter the academy to study. The Western Xinjiang and the Three Kingdoms Alliance will work together to curb the Japanese maritime threats that continue to expand in the East and the Machi Khans on land, and negotiate on specific plans. The two sides also held the highest level of consultation on the sovereignty of the Maven Islands, and intend to propose the issue of distribution of the ownership of the Maven Islands. Of course, this needs to be after Li Wufeng obtained the supreme rule of the Tanghe Empire.

During his stay in the Kingdom of Milan, Ling Tianfang inspected the First Fleet of the Milan Royal Navy stationed in Napoli, the capital of Milan, and the Second Fleet of the Taranto Milan Royal Navy stationed in Milan's third largest city and the second largest port. Taranto is located on Sicily, the largest island of the Northern Pearl Islands, and leads the main rush of the Great East Ocean to the South Ocean. Its surrounding waters are the intersection of the cold currents to the south and the warm currents to the north. Its fishery resources are particularly rich, and it is a famous fishing ground within a radius of hundreds of miles.
