Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

When everyone present heard Zeng Tai's words, everyone began to lower their heads and wonder what kind of excuse they could find to make Sakura Country and Rakshasa Country believe in the Daxia Navy and not have the energy to participate in the battle between them.

"Everyone, I have an idea. Please help the staff." At this time, the captain of the Baiqi (Weymouth-class light cruiser) Qiu Baolin, who had been silent beside him, suddenly said.

"Lao Qiu, tell me, we will give you some advice. If there is anything wrong, we will discuss it together." Wang Hongchang looked at Qiu Baolin and said slowly.

"Okay, then I'll tell you what I think. Have you forgotten Yizhou Island?" Qiu Baolin suddenly mentioned Yizhou Island. Everyone present was stunned when they heard the name.

"Yeah, why didn't I think of that!" Liu Yuxi on the side heard Qiu Baolin mention Yizhou Island. He immediately slapped his thigh and said excitedly.

Yizhou Island was originally Daxia's first island. It had a natural deep-water port and was Daxia's most important military port in the south.

Moreover, Yizhou Island is very large, covering an area of ​​220 square kilometers, and is rich in products. It is only 195 kilometers away from the current Jian'an Military Port in southern Daxia, but it is only 330 kilometers away from Luzon in Nanyang. It is only [-] kilometers away from Sakura Country.

It was an important part of Daxia's original offshore defense line. It is the most important part of Daxia's defense against enemies coming from the sea.

It can be said that the location is extremely important. If Yizhou Island is not lost, the enemy navy will have no way to break through the defense line and attack the mainland of Daxia.

But unfortunately, Yizhou Island was compensated to the Sakura Empire after the great sea battle three years ago, and the Sakura Empire also regarded Yizhou Island as an important part. He wanted to build Yizhou Island into an advanced base for conquering Daxia and Nanyang.

Therefore, in the past three years, the Sakura Empire has invested a lot of money in Yizhou Island, completely intending to assimilate Yizhou Island into their own territory.

In the past few years, Daxia has been trying to take back Yizhou Island and re-establish a maritime defense line. Therefore, Daxia will build a new military port on the other side of Yizhou Island, which is the Jian'an Military Port.

It can be said that this large island is crucial to both Sakura and Daxia.

If, at this time, Daxia pretends to use the Sakura Empire Navy to confront the Rakshasa Kingdom and cannot easily leave Beihai to take back control of Yizhou Island, this excuse can be said to be very credible.

At that time, the Sakura Empire will need to face a choice, whether to continue to confront the Rakshasa Kingdom in the North Sea and seek opportunities to eliminate the Rakshasa Kingdom's fleet, or to abandon the protection of the route and go directly south to find a decisive battle in Daxia.

If they choose to continue the confrontation with the Rakshasa Kingdom in the North Sea, then as long as Daxia puts some pressure on Yizhou Island, given the importance of Yizhou Island to the Sakura Empire, it will definitely stimulate the top brass of the Sakura Empire.

Then he put pressure on the top management and asked them to forcefully order the Sakura Empire Navy to fight the Rakshasa Kingdom. After defeating the Rakshasa Kingdom, they quickly rescued Yizhou Island.

Or, it is possible that the senior officials of the Sakura Kingdom directly ordered a part of the fleet to retreat from the North Sea to support Yizhou Island.

But doing this would play into Daxia's plan. As long as the Sakura Kingdom divides its forces, his fleet will not pose much of a threat to Daxia.

If they really choose to divide their forces to rescue Yizhou Island, then Daxia can turn around and counterattack, wipe out the Sakura Empire's squadron, and then choose to go north to defeat the remaining Sakura Empire fleet.

As a result, the Sakura Empire will also face failure. Of course, it is not impossible for the Sakura Empire to order the entire fleet to go south to support Yizhou Island.

Assuming this is the case, it would be equivalent to the Sakura Empire giving up the entire Goryeo region, giving up their current advantages, and giving up their supply lines to the Rakshasa Kingdom.

If this is the case, at worst Daxia will take Sakura Kingdom's fleet to play in circles on the sea.

It can be said that going south to attack Yizhou Island is a conspiracy. As long as Daxia goes, no matter what the Sakura Empire chooses, it will face a very unfavorable situation.

Of course, the Sakura Empire also has the possibility of victory, that is, they can defeat the Rakshasa Kingdom head-on while ensuring that their losses are very small.

A nearly complete fleet is used to pursue Daxia's main fleet. If this is the case, Daxia will only have a last-ditch battle.

However, the possibility of this cannot be said to be non-existent, but it is really very low. After all, the combined fleet of the Rakshasa Kingdom is not weak, and there is no way it can't deal any damage no matter what.

Not too much. As long as the Rakshasa Kingdom can reduce the Sakura Empire by one-third, Wang Hongchang is [-]% sure that he can deal with the remaining Sakura Kingdom fleet head-on.

Thinking of this, Wang Hongchang and others also started to get excited.

"Lao Qiu, you have done a great job this time! We should go directly to attack Yizhou Island!"

"When the time comes, no matter what Sakura Empire chooses, it will be beneficial to us!" Wang Hongchang excitedly patted Qiu Baolin on the shoulder and said to him.

"Sir, do you think this method is feasible?" Qiu Baolin looked at Wang Hongchang and asked with some surprise. He didn't expect that he could get everyone's approval just by casually saying a way.

"Old Qiu, if your method doesn't work, then there is no better way! Anyway, I think this method is very good!" Zeng Tai looked at Qiu Baolin and nodded in agreement.

"Yes, I agree. In this way, we will be at an absolute advantage. No matter what Sakura Empire chooses, the advantage will be on our side!" Liu Yuxi on the side also nodded in the same way.

When Wang Hongchang saw that everyone present agreed with Qiu Baolin's method, he also said seriously: "Okay! Since everyone agrees with this plan, let's take action!"

"Order! Each ship will immediately replenish fresh water, coal, and ammunition, and the entire army will rest for a day. At noon tomorrow, the entire army will set sail, targeting Yizhou Island!"

"Yes!" All the captains present stood up and saluted Wang Hongchang in response.

"Everyone, this battle is related to the fate of our country, Daxia. If we win, our Daxia Navy will rise and dominate the east! If we lose, we will never be able to make a comeback!"

"I hope you all will march forward bravely. In one battle, I will bring out the majesty of Daxia. In one battle, I will wash away the shame of our navy. In one battle, I will defeat my grandsons of Yanhuang and bring peace to all generations!"

"Don't worry, sir! In this battle, all ships in our navy will move forward bravely and fight to the death. We will not retreat until the cherry blossoms are broken!"

When everyone heard Wang Hongchang's words, they immediately spoke seriously.

They all know that this battle is not only a life and death battle between Daxia and the Sakura Empire, but also a battle of honor for the navy.

For thousands of years, Daxia has dominated the east, oppressing the surrounding countries and leaving them breathless.

But in the last great sea battle, Daxia failed, losing thousands of years of glory to Daxia.

This battle is their battle of revenge!

In this battle, we can only win, not lose! If defeated, the Daxia Navy will never be able to turn around!
