Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

Imperial Capital, the Imperial Palace of Daxia.

"Your Majesty, Prince Rui is here." Wang Jinzhong, the eunuch who wrote the book, walked softly to Zhao Xu and said to Zhao Xu.

"Oh? Yi'er is here?" After hearing Wang Jinzhong's words, Zhao Xu raised his head and said slowly: "Go and invite Prince Rui in."

"Yes." Wang Jinzhong responded before exiting the study.

Soon, Lin Yi walked into Zhao Xu's study in a hurry.

"Uncle, I'm here." Lin Yi knew Zhao Xu's temper. Unless necessary, Zhao Xu always asked Lin Yi to call him uncle, which led to Lin Yi getting used to it now.

"Come, sit next to me." Zhao Xu closed a document and waved to Lin Yi.

"Yi'er, you haven't visited your uncle for several days. What are you busy with now?" Zhao Xu said unhappily.

I used to have a good Yi'er, who would come to the palace to look for me every now and then, but now, I can't see anyone for ten days and a half.

Although Zhao Xu knew that now that his Yi'er had grown up, he knew that he was taking care of his uncle, but for some reason, he still felt a little unhappy in his heart.

"Uncle, my nephew has been busy these two days. I just came back from Jinghai, why don't I come to see uncle?" Lin Yi said with a smile. As an orphan in his previous life, he now enjoys the warmth brought by Zhao Xu.

"Going to Jinghai? Why did you go to Jinghai when you had nothing to do? It's already in ruins, and the city is still being rebuilt." Zhao Xu felt a little strange. He didn't know when Lin Yi ran to Jinghai.

"Uncle, have you forgotten? My nephew told you before that he bought a batch of warships from abroad? These warships arrived in Jinghai yesterday." Lin Yi said to Zhao Xu with a smile on his face.

"Already arrived at Jinghai? So soon?" Zhao Xu looked in disbelief.

It’s not like he has never purchased warships from Western countries before. When did he not have to wait for a year and a half after paying the money?

How is it like now, the other party has sent the battleship over before the money is given, and he is not afraid that he will not give the money?

"Uncle, I have already said that I have a good relationship with the other party, that's why they are so active."

"Yeah, uncle knows, it's Yi'er who has the ability." Zhao Xu nodded with satisfaction.

"Then Yi'er, what's the matter with you coming to see your uncle today?" Zhao Xu also knew that Lin Yi was very busy now. If he had nothing to do, he would usually not come to see him.

"Uncle, I came here this time mainly for two things. I want to discuss them with uncle."

"Oh, there's something wrong. Let's talk about it." When Zhao Xu heard Lin Yi's words, he immediately became interested.

"Uncle, that's it. At least I didn't say that I wanted to expand the army and make some adjustments to the new army? Now that the army expansion plan has been completed, I came to uncle to confirm." Lin Yi said with a smile on his face. said.

"Confirm? Confirm what? As I said before, you can make up your own mind about the new army." Zhao Xu waved his hand and said to Lin Yi very proudly.

Originally, Zhao Xu thought that Lin Yi wanted to form a new army, but it was just a whim, and he did not expect Lin Yi to really be able to lead an iron army.

His initial idea was to give Lin Yi a division to satisfy Lin Yi's desire to lead troops. Speaking of which, it's a bit like playing tickets.

Who would have expected that Lin Yi would be a king when he appeared on the scene. With a division of [-] men, he directly annihilated John and the more than [-] coalition troops of Gaul and the two countries, and also captured the coalition fleet.

In the first battle, they immediately achieved a shocking result.

Only then did Zhao Xu realize that his nephew was really capable.

If an outsider had such a record, Zhao Xu, as the emperor, would be on guard against the opponent, lest the opponent rely on his own troops.

But the problem is that Lin Yi is not an outsider, he is his most beloved nephew, and his treatment is directly on par with that of Prince Zhao Xi.

As for Zhao Xi himself, he also regarded Lin Yi as his idol and worshiped Lin Yi infinitely.

Under such a premise, Zhao Xu can be said to have [-]% trust in Lin Yi and has no worries about Lin Yi's disloyal intentions.

This is tantamount to reducing a lot of unnecessary trouble for Lin Yi.

Imperial power is not attractive to Lin Yi at all. What he wants now is to bring out a powerful and invincible army to fight for Daxia and bring Daxia back to the top of the world.

The throne is more like a burden to Lin Yi. If Lin Yi wants to rebel, if he succeeds, he will have to worry about the people's livelihood issues.

How could it be as free as it is now? If he is short of people or money, he can just reach out to Zhao Xu. He only needs to consider the army.

However, Lin Yi was still a little cautious. Although Zhao Xu delegated power to him and let him handle the affairs of the New Army, he could also make the decision, but he had to report to Zhao Xu no matter what.

"Uncle, you'd better take a look." Lin Yi said helplessly.

"Okay, let me take a look." Zhao Xu couldn't resist Lin Yi, but he still took the document handed over by Lin Yi and started to read it.

As a result, he only read the first page before he raised his head and looked at Lin Yi in surprise.

"Yi'er, are you kidding? You want to reorganize the new army into the First Legion? And this legion also has a navy?"

Zhao Xu asked with a confused look on his face. He had thought that Lin Yi would expand the army to tens of thousands or even [-] people, but he never thought that Lin Yi would set up a navy and use all the newly acquired warships. Placed under the First Army Corps.

"Yi'er, are you sure you want to assign those battleships to the First Legion? The First Legion is an army." Zhao Xu said with a frown.

"Uncle, I know that the First Army is part of the army, but our country does not stipulate that the army cannot own battleships!"

"But the problem is that the army does not use battleships. Battleships are the navy's main combat tools and the navy's combat equipment."

"Furthermore, do you think you got this name, the First Legion Navy of the Great Xia Empire? When did our empire have two navy?" Zhao Xu was dumbfounded when he heard Lin Yi's words.

"Otherwise, Yi'er, if you really want to get these warships under your name, I will give you another naval officer position? Then you can legitimately lead the navy." Zhao Xu looked at Lin Yi and said.

"No, uncle, it's not like you don't know that the current group of navy executives have stopped us at the root. The entire Imperial Navy no longer has much combat effectiveness."

"And on the Navy side, there is also pressure from the Navy Department. If I join them, I won't be able to let go in many cases."

"Yi'er, what you said makes sense. Among the current headlines, there are still many people who are stubborn. As long as they are around, no matter what they do, they will be restrained."

"But if you don't join the navy, if you want to form a navy, it's somewhat against the rules." Zhao Xu said with some worry.

"Uncle, if it's hard to deal with calling them the Navy, then just don't call them the Navy. Isn't it just a title? At the worst, I'll just change their name to the First Corps Water Warfare Special Operations Force."

"I don't need the name of the navy, why will they care about me? Uncle, please help me more, there is nothing I can do about those stubborn old men." Lin Yi said with a smile on his face.
