Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

Jiaozhou, Penglai Military Port.

Wang Hongchang sat at his desk and looked at the latest battle report.

"Dong dong dong..." A knock on the door sounded.

"Come in." Wang Hongchang put down the battle report in his hand and said to the door.

After hearing Wang Hongchang's words, a young officer opened the door and walked in.

"Sir, telegram." The young officer said to Wang Hongchang.

"Another telegram from the Navy Department?" Wang Hongchang did not reach out to receive the telegram.

"Yes, sir, this is the sixth time this month that the Navy has sent telegrams, asking us to send the Barbarian and Gaydon to Jian'an Military Port as soon as possible." The young officer also felt a little helpless.

When Wang Hongchang heard what the young officer said, he also sighed.

Why doesn't he want to give these two warships to Jian'an Military Port, but isn't it time to fight against Sakura Country? He didn't even have enough warships, so how could he give the warships to Jian'an?

In fact, the Admiralty wants not only the Gaydon and the Arrogant, but also the Qinhuang (Dreadnought-class) and Hanzu (Nassau-class) battleships of the First Army.

Even before, the Navy Ministry sent an extremely strong message, asking him to send the warship to Jian'an as soon as possible.

But Wang Hongchang pushed him back.

When he faced the Admiralty for orders, he only replied with one sentence, asking them to negotiate with Prince Rui. He was now a member of the First Army and had no right to deal with these warships.

Do people from the Navy Department dare to go to Lin Yi? Of course they dare.

After all, with these six new warships, it is an opportunity for Daxia Navy to rise.

But when the Navy Department sent the telegram to Lin Yi, Lin Yi replied with the word "Go away".

The angry Navy Minister Zeng Sen brought the matter to Emperor Zhao Xu. Emperor Zhao Xu's reply was even more bizarre. He directly said that the warship was obtained by Prince Rui and that it was Prince Rui's private property. The empire could not force Prince Rui.

If they grit their teeth and be patient, the empire will soon save enough money to buy new ships for the navy.

This made Zeng Sen's blood pressure soar. Saving money to buy a warship? Fortunately, Zhao Xu can speak out!

Let’s not talk about how long it takes to save enough money for a battleship. Let’s just say that once you have saved enough money, where can you buy a battleship?

As the head of the Daxia Navy, Zeng Sen naturally knows the situation of the navies of various countries.

Battleships are still only on the drawings of various countries. They are not equipped yet, so where can they buy them?

Zeng Sen didn't know where Prince Rui came from, to be so wild that he could even buy a battleship.

Since Lin Yi and Wang Hongchang didn't pay attention to him, he could only suffer misfortune. He hoped that Wang Hongchang could see that he was also from the navy, and out of past friendship, he would lend the warship to the Navy Department for a break. Facade.

Wang Hongchang was still a little shaken at first. He was ready to follow Lin Yi's words and send the Barbarian and Gayden to Jian'an Military Port after they were repaired.

But who would have thought that Sakura Country would suddenly start a fight with Rakshasa Country, and Lin Yi was also going to take the opportunity to teach Sakura Country a lesson.

Therefore, without thinking, Wang Hongchang directly seized the Barbarian and Gayden and incorporated them into the battle order of the First Army.

Wang Hongchang could only say sorry to his old boss Zeng Sen.

"The Navy Department called back and told them that the Arrogance and Gaydon have not been repaired yet and asked them to wait for a while." Wang Hongchang thought for a while and said to the officer.

After all, no matter what he said, Zeng Sen was still his old boss. It was hard for him to say a word without getting a reply. Otherwise, others would definitely call him a white-eyed wolf.

If it was just him, it wouldn't matter if he wasn't good, but he was following Lin Yi now, and he didn't want to smear Lin Yi's face.

"Sir, we have been making this excuse for several months. Now that we say this, the Navy Department will not reply." When the young officer heard Lin Yi's words, he felt a little embarrassed.

As soon as he heard what the young officer said, Wang Hongchang directly covered his forehead and expressed that he was speechless.

"Since you can speak so well, then give me an excuse." Wang Hongchang said to the young officer speechlessly.

"I..." The young officer was speechless. Was it his turn to think about this? If he had the right to think this, he was more than just an ordinary officer.

"dong dong dong"

Just when both parties were speechless, another officer came to the door and knocked gently.

"What's the matter?" Wang Hongchang asked impatiently.

"Sir, we just received an urgent call from Prince Rui!" the second young officer said seriously.

Upon hearing that this time it was Lin Yi's urgent call, Wang Hongchang immediately said seriously: "Bring it over!"

The officer quickly walked up to Wang Hongchang, opened the folder, pulled out a telegram from it, and handed it to Wang Hongchang's hand.

Wang Hongchang glanced at ten lines and quickly read Lin Yi's telegram. Then his expression changed and he frowned slightly.

"Stop talking nonsense and call the captains of each ship for a meeting!"

"Yes!" When the two young officers heard Wang Hongchang's words, they immediately saluted him with a military salute.

Then the first young officer asked: "Sir, do you want the captains of the Insolent and Gaydon to be called too?"

"Are you talking nonsense? They haven't been handed over to Jian'an Military Port yet, so they are still members of my first army. Call them up! We are here for a big job!"

"Yes!" The first officer saluted again, turned and left Wang Hongchang's office.

Soon, a total of eight people, including the captains of the Barbaric and the Gayden, appeared in Wang Hongchang's office.

Wang Hongchang was not polite to them, he just pointed to the sofa beside him and motioned for everyone to sit down.

After everyone was seated, Wang Hongchang picked up the telegram sent to him by Lin Yi and solemnly said: "Prince Rui's telegram!"

Upon hearing the words "Prince Rui's telegram," the eight captains present stood up again.

Wang Hongchang glanced at everyone, and then continued to read: "This is to order the special naval force of the First Legion of the Great Xia Empire."

"Now that the Sakura Empire and the Rakshasa Empire are at war, it is the best time for me, Daxia, to expel both sides and restore control of the four provinces outside the customs!"

\"You are hereby ordered to choose an opportunity to engage in a decisive battle with the Sakura Empire Navy, cut off the connection between the Sakura Empire and the Goryeo region, block the Sakura Empire's logistics supplies, and create a good opportunity for our army to engage in a decisive battle! I hope your army will make your own decision."

"Prince Rui of the Great Xia Empire, Lin Yi, sent a telegram!"

After Wang Hongchang finished reciting the telegram, he glanced at everyone present, then stretched out his hands and pressed down on everyone.

"Everyone, sit down. I asked you to come here today so that we can discuss this matter together and see what we should do."

"Sir, what's the point? The prince asked us to fight, so we can fight!" As soon as Wang Hongchang finished speaking, Deng Yu, the captain of the Arrogant, stood up immediately and said to everyone.

"Reckless man, this is not a question of whether to fight or not. What the prince and your lord want is how to fight this battle!" As soon as Deng Yu finished speaking, Gao Fu, the captain of the Gaydon, also said quickly.
