Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

"It makes sense!" Yamamoto Masao nodded heavily after hearing Sato Shinichi's words.

Indeed, according to common sense, after the enemy fleet attacks, the army will land next. At this time, the Kuroda Brigade and the Miyamoto Brigade were still in the Yizhou Mountains, encircling and suppressing the resistance led by the Seediqs.

At this time, all the cities along the west coast of Yizhou Island were in a state of emptiness.

Masao Yamamoto wanted to ask for help from the country, but he also understood that the main fleet of the Sakura Empire was still in the Goryeo area, confronting the Rakshasa Kingdom.

Within the entire Sakura Empire, there were almost no warships available to form a convoy fleet to cover the reinforcements coming from the mainland.

Without escorting warships, just a troop transport ship at sea would definitely become a target ship for the Daxia people.

But if warships are mobilized from the main fleet to form a convoy and cover the troop transports, then another problem will arise: how many warships need to be mobilized. There is also the question of how to deal with the northern battlefield after deploying warships.

Yamamoto Masao shook his head. He felt that it was too early to consider some of these things now. He is now just the governor of Yizhou Island.

The most important thing he should do now is to consider how to defend Yizhou Island. As for the issue of reinforcements, he can only leave it to those in the imperial cabinet to deal with it and forget about the headache.

"Sato-kun! Send Kuroda Yu and Miyamoto Zangichi to lead troops back to Yizhou City immediately! In case the Daxia people land on Yizhou Island!" Yamamoto Masao said without looking back as he looked at the burning Yizhou City.

"Hi! I'll do it now!" Sato Shinichi nodded immediately when he heard Yamamoto Masao's words.

At this time, on the Qin Huang on the sea, Wang Hongchang also looked at the burning Yizhou City with a sneer on his face.

"Very good! This is probably enough for the little Sakuras to drink!" Wang Hongchang looked at the burning Yizhou City with sharp eyes.

"Yes, it's enough for them to drink a pot, but it's a pity. What a wonderful city." Liu Yuxi on the side seemed to feel a little bit regretful about destroying a city like this.

When Wang Hongchang heard Liu Yuxi's words, he turned back and glanced at Liu Yuxi, and then said slowly: "What a pity? What's a pity? You don't think those little cherry blossoms' houses are short either."

Hearing what Wang Hongchang said, Liu Yuxi smiled awkwardly, and then said: "Let's not talk about this for now. Let's talk about what to do next."

"Do we urgently need to go south and blast all the way along the west coast of Yizhou Island, or return to Shanghai City? Just now, the prince sent a telegram, saying that the Dongchuan Army has been transferred over and allowed them to land on the island to fight."

"Dongchuan Army?" Wang Hongchang heard Liu Yuxi's words. He thought for a moment in his mind, and then continued: "The Dongchuan Army is still quite capable, but the equipment is a bit poor. The prince is still quite discerning. "

"The prince has also talked about the equipment. He has prepared a batch of weapons for the Dongchuan Army in Hucheng. He asked them to change their equipment directly in Hucheng, then board the ship directly and land on Yizhou Island."

After hearing Liu Yuxi's words, Wang Hongchang walked to the table and began to look at the navigation chart.

"Yu Xi, from our current position, it only takes one day at most to return to Shanghai Port. The Dongchuan Army has just boarded the train. It will take at least three days to reach Shanghai City."

"In addition to changing clothes, that means we still have four days. These four days cannot be wasted. Let's go south again?"

"At the same time, we can also leave some time for the destroyers that have been handed over to Jian'an Military Port to join us in Hucheng."

"That batch of warships were all built by the Kingdom of John and the Kingdom of Gaul. Their main gun calibers are above 120 mm, and they can escort the Dongchuan Army."

"In this way, we only need to return to Hucheng Port and escort them to Yizhou Island. Then we can withdraw and concentrate on dealing with Sakura Country."

When Liu Yuxi heard what Wang Hongchang said, he lowered his head and thought about it, and felt that Wang Hongchang's arrangement was feasible.

Those John State destroyers cannot serve as main battleships, but they can be used to bombard Yizhou Island.

"I think it's feasible, but those destroyers may still have some difficulty dealing with the coastal defense guns along this line. What I mean is, we can spend more time on Yizhou Island."

"Our main battleship will still escort the Dongchuan Army to land on Yizhou Island according to your plan. But after that, we will not go north. We will continue to go south and remove all their coastal defense artillery positions along Yizhou Island. "

"In this way, when the destroyer supports the Dongchuan Army, it can choose to approach and shoot, and there is no need to worry about attacks from shore defense artillery."

"As for us, we can also continue to put pressure on the Sakura Kingdom on Yizhou Island and let them fight the Rakshasa Kingdom as soon as possible, or force them to go south."

"If the main force of the Sakura Kingdom Navy is not damaged, the possibility of returning to the North Sea is too high for us to be exposed."

Liu Yuxi looked at the navigation chart and put forward his own opinions.

When Wang Hongchang heard Liu Yuxi's words, he looked at the navigation chart again, and then smiled.

"Yuxi, your method is better than mine, then follow your method."

"Let's send electricity to the Navy Department first and ask them to coordinate Jian'an's destroyers to go north to Shanghai and join us." Wang Hongchang thought for a while and then said to Liu Yuxi.

"Okay." Liu Yuxi nodded, and then he said with some worry: "But I'm worried that the Navy Department will not cooperate with us. After all, the Barbarian and Gayden we promised to hand over to them are still there. It’s in our hands.”

When Wang Hongchang heard Liu Yuxi's words, he threw the pencil in his hand on the table, and then said slowly: "I think Sha Zhenhai from the Navy Department will agree to our plan."

"He is a veteran of our navy. He can't see this clearly. If we don't use the Arrogant and the Gayden, it's because we don't have the main battleships in our hands."

"However, this time, we have a better attitude. After all, we also have something to ask for."

Hearing Wang Hongchang's words, Liu Yuxi didn't say anything more this time. He just nodded, and then went aside to send electricity to the Navy Department in the imperial capital.

An hour later, Wang Hongchang's message requesting support was placed on Sha Zhenhai's desk.

Sha Zhenhai is a veteran in his fifties. He has experienced the rise and fall of the Daxia Empire Navy. He has witnessed the era when the Daxia Navy dominated the east, and also experienced the darkest moments of the Daxia Navy.

His biggest dream is to re-establish a huge imperial navy.

For this reason, he would go to the Ministry of Accounts almost every month to ask Qian Yi for money. But at that time, there was a lack of funds everywhere in Daxia. Wherever there was extra money, it was thrown into the bottomless pit of the navy.

Therefore, every time Sha Zhenhai tried to come back empty-handed, or he would get hundreds of thousands of imperial silver dollars.

If it's the army, hundreds of thousands of imperial silver dollars are enough for one or two divisions to replace a batch of equipment. But for the navy, hundreds of thousands of imperial silver dollars, which is the price of a few rounds of artillery shells, can buy even the smallest destroyer. Less than.

Just when Sha Zhenhai thought that he would never be able to see the Imperial Navy regain its glory days in this life, a man appeared.
