Chapter 304, Pre-war Preparations(2/2)
The huge fleet sailed northeast along the coastline. A few days later, it successfully arrived at Longtou Port in Weishan County, the easternmost point of the Liuyin Kingdom.
Longtou Port, the port is named after its shape like a dragon head. Although it is not as good as Taiping Bay's unique geographical conditions, it can be regarded as a very good deep-water port.
Once upon a time, Taiping Bay in Linbo County in the south, Guanhe Port in Yanhai County in the north, and Longtou Port in Weishan County in the east were known as the most prosperous and rich coastal areas in the Liuyin Kingdom.
However, after repeated plunders and massacres by Japanese pirates, the former sacred land is now almost in ruins. Extending from the coastline to the inland for tens or even hundreds of kilometers are ghosts with no human and animal life!
That is to say, Zhao Yinshun transformed and upgraded the navy regardless of the cost, then cleaned up and down the coastline, and cooperated with the army to strangle it from the inside out. Only then was the sacred land stretching thousands of miles back under control.
But if we want to restore the bustling scene of a few decades ago, even with a steady stream of immigrants, it will take several years to achieve results.
More than a hundred main warships, plus more than two hundred accompanying transport and supply ships, docked in the port. Tens of thousands of crew members disembarked to repair and supply supplies. It turned out that the entire city's residents were less than half of them, and most of them were the same as them.
They are all "outsiders" who have just arrived.
However, while the crew members were staring at each other, Zhao Yinshun and Cen Xing were studying the rough and crude charts carefully.
The entire [Liu Yin Kingdom] has recently been recovered. After modern surveying and mapping, the territory on the land has gradually become clearer, but the sea is still a fog of war, and the general outline can only be pieced together through the information passed down by the predecessors.
Looking at the map of Damin territory on the wall, Zhao Yinshun rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
The terrain of this world is similar to that of the previous world. The general outline is similar, but the details are completely different.
If you want to make a comparison, the geographical location of [Liu Yin Fengguo] should be similar to the Shandong Peninsula in the previous life. The north is across the sea from Liaozhou, and the east is like a sharp sword thrust into the ocean, far away on Shen Liguo's waist.
.
I didn't pay attention when it was limited to Linbo County before, but now it seems that the strategic position of [Liu Yin Fengguo] is quite important...
Starting from Guanhe Port in Yanhai County in the north, it is only over a thousand kilometers to the southernmost tip of Liaozhou. It only takes 6 or 7 days to sail to the mouth of the river in the west. You can go directly upstream to [Xuanwu Capital]!
With Yongtou Port in Weishan County as the center of the circle in the east, the fleet can reach any place on the west coast of Shenli Kingdom within seven days!
However, the premise for all this is to have a powerful enough navy!
Otherwise, the army will have to go around for tens of thousands of miles, passing through the three states of Lu, You, and Liao, before reaching the border of Shenli Kingdom, and then push more than ten thousand miles from north to south to drive the Fusang Kingdom's army into the sea...
This process, let alone fighting, will take a year or two just to walk through it!
Such long supply lines and logistical pressure are enough to make any commander collapse!
With the navy, everything will become very simple. The entire sea is a highway with unlimited width, and supplies and personnel can be transported to anywhere you want to go within a few days!
The only problem now is the pirates and dragon beasts entrenched on the route, and the sea shrouded in supernatural forces!
Pirates are like goblins swimming on the sea. When you concentrate your efforts to mow them down, these guys will disperse in a rush and will not collide with you head-on.
But when your ship is alone, these guys will swarm you bloodthirstyly, and let them understand the tactics of maritime guerrillas.
The dragon beast is more like a natural terrain barrier. Generally, high-level dragon beasts rarely move after establishing their territory. When their territory cuts off the waterway, large fleets basically have no chance of passing through safely.
Scattered ships should be careful not to be smashed into pieces by them!
The last supernatural sea area is basically unsolvable and can be regarded as a natural terrain barrier, similar to the mountains and deserts on land.
Therefore, in order to prepare for the coming war, he must open up the routes in the nearby sea areas and remove all obstacles along the way!
As long as these preliminary preparations are completed, Shen Liguo's more than 10,000 kilometers of western coastline from north to south will be included in its attack range.
Chapter completed!
