Chapter 1378

When a rich fragrance lingers behind it, Wufeng doesn't even have to think about it and knows that the woman he loves comes behind him. The sweet fragrance is a petal essence from the Western Continent. The liquid tanned by using a variety of wildflower petals is more than ten times more expensive than gold. The luxury goods production in the Western Continent has always surpassed other parts of the mainland, especially the Lumilia Kingdom and the Famini Empire in the Hansen Alliance are both the main production areas of the mainland. Women in the whole continent are willing to be attracted by the endless perfumes in these two places.

Turning around and seeing the worried look in the other party's blue eyes, Wufeng felt a little ashamed. Since she ascended the throne, she has neglected to get close to these lovers who have been standing behind her silently. Even Angel is the queen and still has little intimacy, but the worry and cherishment in her lover's eyes made Wufeng's heart flow. At least she is still silently paying attention to herself, no matter where she lives. Although Angel's bloodline issues make herself regarded as the extreme of the orthodox Tang clan.

The conservatives criticized that there is still a voice that even if Angel ascended the position of queen, the male heirs she gave birth to must not be able to enjoy the status of the heir of the imperial emperor. The heir of the imperial emperor must be qualified by the male heirs of the pure Tang tribe of His Majesty's concubines. This voice is quite influential in the imperial capital, but Wufeng never regrets making Angel as his queen, and he is even more disdainful of the calls of those extreme conservatives.

Seeing the complicated expression in her husband's eyes, An Qier didn't know that her husband was uneasy because of the guilt in her heart, and she thought that it was her arrival that disturbed the other party's deep thoughts.

"Wufeng, take a break. You are too tired during this period. If possible, why not let me accompany you to Jiangnan for a trip. Didn't Lord Ling return to Beijing long ago? The empire is stable, with Xiao Tang and Ling Tianfang inside, Su Qin and Bo Jinchen outside, and with them in charge of the imperial capital. I believe there is no problem. You can also relax your mood when you go to Jiangnan to relax. The charm of Jiangnan water town has been famous for a long time. Haven't you always want to go there?" An Qier naturally held Wufeng's right arm and said leisurely.

A hint of joy flashed in Wufeng's eyes, and then he faded, "I have this idea, I'm afraid Xiao Tang and the others won't agree. But since you said that, I'll make sure to avoid them once. I've been thinking about the Jiangnan Navy. I don't know how those guys are doing now. Xiao Tang complains all day long that the navy consumes too much. If these guys can't give me a satisfactory explanation, then let them wait for the military law to serve."

"Wufeng, I want to accompany you to relax, not for military and political affairs. If you just go to inspect military affairs, it would be fine if you don't travel to Jiangnan." An Qier frowned slightly. Her husband was always thinking about military and political affairs. If the tense string is too long, there will be problems. An Qier doesn't want her husband to be too overworked and nervous.

"Haha, both public and private, and focus on private matters. You can't go around Jiangnan so much, and you can't just look at the places you need to ask about, right? That's a bit too pretentious." Wufeng said with a smile.

Wufeng has always hoped to inspect the East China Sea, Jiangnan, and Jiangnan East China Sea in the near future. Although it is backed by the funds seized from the Indian and Germans, it is still safe in a short period of time, but this is a one-time transaction. The accumulation of the Tik people was taken away by himself, while the Yakuan people's funds were taken first by the Hansen Alliance. Now, even if Cui Wenxiu seized the entire Western Indian and Germans, it is impossible for him to increase much funds for the imperial finance in a short period of time. The Hyderabad people still have to think about the overall interests of the entire Indian and Germans, and they cannot fish for a while.

The real foundation is to develop the empire economy and increase fiscal revenue. Jiangnan and Donghai occupy an important position in the empire's fiscal revenue, so Wufeng let Wang Zongxi and Lu Man take charge of these two places. Both of them are quite good at developing the economy. Judging from the current situation, although the paths are different, the results are quite significant. Wufeng hopes to promote the further development of industry and commerce in these two places through inspections, and to promote the industrial and commercial giants in the two places to go out of the Jiangnan and the East China Sea to invest funds in other areas of the empire, drive the economic development of other regions, and also balance the current extremely unbalanced development of the empire.

As for the naval issue, it is also an important aspect that Wufeng needs to inspect. Lei Cangpu takes into account the development of the Dongyang and Nanyang Navy alone. The Nanyang Navy seems to be quite influential at present. He also agreed with Cheng Dayou's request for naval cooperation in the Southwest War. It seems that it can test the initial construction results of the Nanyang Navy fleet. The Dongyang Navy relies more on the old people of the Tanghe Navy. Although Ling Tianfang and Lei Cangpu both swear that this group of Tanghe Navy's long-time generals have accomplished in naval construction and training, Wufeng still hopes to test it through his own eyes. Only in this way can he feel more at ease.

The moist southeast wind blew Zuo Shichang's cheeks slightly itchy. Smelling the warm sea breeze, the slightly salty and fishy smell can only be experienced by athletes who have lived in this environment for a long time. Zuo Shichang thought so. The golden peng flag on the flagship was hustling and various sails danced, indicating that the military port has ushered in another prosperous period.

Half a year, it was not long or short. Although it was still not very satisfied with the number of ships allocated by the Navy headquarters to the Great Eastern Fleet, Zuo Shichang could still understand Lei Cangpu's difficulties. The two fleets launched construction plans at the same time, and it was difficult for this naval commander to balance the needs of the two fleets. The domestic shipbuilding plan has not been fully launched. More importantly, it is necessary to obtain it from the Milanese people. This is of course a bit difficult. However, Lei Cangpu barely achieved a balance. Although only two ships were added to the Great Eastern Fleet on a large military ship, a lot of them were added on small and medium-sized ships, which made Zuo Shichang very satisfied. After all, the Great Eastern Fleet was first started to build, and the Great Eastern Fleet was one step too late. It was already very good to be able to seize food from the Tiger's mouth of the Great Southern Fleet.

Although Zuo Shichang knew that building an ocean-going fleet was inseparable from large military ships, he knew that the Great East Ocean Fleet had to quickly arm itself to deal with the current enemy. In fact, the need for large military ships was not very urgent. Of course, from the long-term plan in the future, large military ships were indispensable and were actually more useful in the current small and medium-sized fast military ships, especially in dealing with the Japanese, the largest enemy in the Empire in the Great East Ocean, the small and medium-sized ships were more practical in combat.

Therefore, he instructed Huo Yunfeng to pay more attention to the attack performance of the fleet when forming the first standing fleet of the Great East Ocean Navy. Most of the contests between the Japanese and the Empire in the Great East Ocean are in the offshore areas. There is no question of a long-sea war where large ships really need to be in charge. Therefore, the first standing fleet must first ensure fast maneuvering and fierce strike capabilities, especially when the Japanese Navy currently has an absolute advantage in the central and northern part of the Great East Ocean.

Huo Yunfeng also faithfully implemented this intention. The entire First Standing Fleet had only one large military ship as a flagship, and the rest were all composed of small and medium-sized ships. The other large military ship Zuo Shichang has been used to consider forming the second standing fleet. Although there has not been a large-scale head-on conflict with the Japanese Navy fleet for so long, Huo Yunfeng's First Standing Fleet has successfully ambushed the transport fleet from the Japanese to Kamchatka and Baodao twice, achieving good results. This also made the Japanese Navy fleet very angry, but it had to start carrying out escort missions and began to consciously look for fighter jets to attack the fleet. It was in this case that Zuo Shichang hoped to form the second standing fleet as soon as possible, with two fists hitting people. The first and second fleets could support each other and cover each other. On the one hand, it could also lay the foundation for the next stage of the war.

"Brother Zuo, the Imperial Privy Council has reported that His Majesty the Emperor may visit Jiangnan in the near future. One of the important purposes is to inspect the Great East Ocean Navy. The Privy Council requires us to be fully prepared and welcome the Emperor's inspection. This is a rare opportunity. The last time Lord Ling came to inspect, he mentioned that he was fighting for the Emperor's predecessor. Sure enough, this time His Majesty the Emperor's tour of Jiangnan is to inspect the construction of the navy. The development prospects of our navy depend on the performance of our fleet."

He boarded the ship excitedly, and Sa Zhenhai, wearing a dark blue imperial naval new naval officer uniform, waved the secrets in his hand and shouted excitedly, "It is obvious that His Majesty the Emperor's inspection of the Great East Ocean Navy's Navy fleet may bring various opportunities that made him unable to contain his joy."

"Oh?" Zuo Shichang was also excited. This is of course a message worth celebrating. At least from the intention of His Majesty the Emperor was about to inspect the Eastern Navy, we can learn the information of the senior management. His Majesty's attention to the navy can be seen from this point, and the Navy can also use this east wind to usher in an opportunity for great development. "Have you confirmed it? When?"
