Chapter 832 Preparations before dispatching troops
After Qu Mao and Su Yan met Sylvia Ocean and Fuer Swamp on the morning of July 19th in the fourth year of Tianxuan, the four of them had breakfast together in the restaurant on the first floor of the lord's cabin in Yicheng territory.
On the way to breakfast, Sylvia Ocean and Fur Swamp applied to Qu Mao to launch an attack and harassment operation against the coastal neighboring country of Jilihou to the west of Jillhou, as a coordinated operation between different fleets after the navy reorganized its fleet. military action.
Qu Mao thought it was unnecessary at first. After all, at this stage, Qu Mao has not decided to use troops against a specific Marquis or those Marquis, but only initially determined that he will take the initiative to launch a war on the main mainland at the end of the year.
However, Sylvia Oshen and Fuer Swanpu's analysis of consuming the strategic materials of the Geely Marquis and destroying the maritime military force finally moved Qu Mao, and Qu Mao finally allowed Sylvia Oshen and Fu Earl Swamp conducts such a naval operation.
Regardless of whether the main continental battle launched at the end of the year will hit the Geely Marquis, the early elimination of the Geely Marquis' naval power and the consumption of strategic material reserves will be of great benefit to the main continental battle at the end of the year. stability factor.
Even though Qu Mao agreed with Sylvia Ocean and Fur Swamp's naval training plan, he did not decide to launch the main mainland battle at the end of the year against that neighboring country.
The Marquis of Moner, the Marquis of Baishuang, the Marquis of Heipu, the Marquis of Jili, the Marquis of Napoleon, and the Marquis of Gillette are all bordering on the territory of the Yicheng Territory on the main mainland, and even the Duke of Green Wings and the Kingdom of Dali are also bordering on the territory of the main mainland. The territory of Yicheng borders on the territory of the main mainland, and Qu Mao is still in the stage of letting Xinping hurry up to collect information, and has not yet been determined.
Among the neighboring countries in this series, only the Marquis of Moner and the Marquis of Geely have coastlines. Sylvia Ocean and Fuer Swamp can only find these two countries if they want to train their navy. Let's start, the Marquis of Moner directly borders the Mughal Empire, and the border is still very long.
To choose and choose, if the navy wants to harass the target of combat training, there is only the Marquis of Auspiciousness, unless it goes to the territory of the anti-Yizhen alliance, but the coastal areas of the anti-Yizhen alliance are continuously harassed by Sylvia Ocean One and a half months, and the journey is still very far away, naturally not enough to become the first choice of Sylvia Ocean and Fuer Swamp.
Qu Mao himself has made it clear to all the heroes that he has basically ruled out attacking the Marquis of Moner at the end of the year. After all, Qu Mao does not want to have a direct conflict with the Mughal Empire.
Since Sylvia Oshen and Fuer Swanpu decided to launch a raid on the coast of the Jili Marquis, Qu Mao naturally had to let the two get ready before going out.
Yicheng Territory’s army has just formed a 300,000-strong army, and with the Navy’s 50,000 people, they have entered the underground world of the Holy Land to explore and conquer. As a result, Yicheng Territory’s current reserves of strategic materials are not sufficient.
When Qu Mao asked Sylvia Ocean and Fur Swamp when the navy would send troops, Sylvia Ocean wished to send troops the next day, but soon Su Yan told Sylvia Ocean The status quo of insufficient arrows for the Oshen shipborne ballista.
Finally, after several discussions, Sylvia Ocean and Fuer Swamp reported to Qu Mao that the navy would officially set off on August 1, the fourth year of Tianxuan.
On the afternoon of July 19th in the fourth year of Tianxuan, Su Yan took the Navy's super warship directly from Yi Island to return to the Yancheng Port of the Principality of Tassel. The second is to inform Xuande to return to Jidao to preside over the production work of the military factory.
The navy is about to officially send troops to Jili Hou on August 1, the fourth year of Tianxuan, but the arrows used by the shipboard ballista are actually less than 100,000 in stock. What a joke, 1,000 warships with 100,000 arrows, an average of 100,000 arrows per warship There are only 100 ships, which is not enough to fight for a day, not to mention that the Navy's plan is to train 3,000 warships in rotation.
What Qu Mao could think of was to send Xuande back to personally catch the arrow production of the shipborne ballista. The other things were naturally left to Sylvia Ocean and Fuer Swamp. This has always been the case with the Navy.
At noon on July 20th in the fourth year of Tianxuan, Xuande sent Qu Mao a remote communication application.
Qu Mao connected to the remote communication and asked, "Xuande, are you back?"
Xuande said: "My lord, my subordinates received a letter from Master Su Yan in Wang Zhanhou country, and immediately set off, running non-stop towards Yancheng Port, and now they are already on the boat returning to the Holy Land.
My lord, this subordinate sent you a remote communication to explain to you: time is running out, so this subordinate will not return to Yi Island to see you, and this subordinate will directly return to Ji Island to organize the full production capacity of each military factory. "
Qu Mao said: "Damn it! Xuande, what are you doing hiding in the kingdom of Wang Zhanhou? I haven't seen you for a long time, so let's go back to the Holy Land honestly. There will be a major mainland war at the end of the year. Then you will go back to the Holy Land." Go to the main continent."
Xuande said: "My lord, from this point of view, the production capacity of our military factory is completely insufficient, and the wars are fought so frequently.
Fortunately, the Liusu Principality on the main mainland is somewhat different from the six major princes, and some original military factories can also produce some of them. It seems wise for the subordinates to send people to control all the military factories on the main mainland, including the Liusu Principality. . "
Qu Maodao: "The navy's newly formed special warfare fleet and main fleet are mainly super warships and refitted warships. A battle consumes a lot of arrows on the ship's ballista, so let's produce more.
All the military factories on the main continent have also started to produce arrows in large quantities. Later, we will consider whether we can improve the process and increase the production capacity of the military factories.
The navy is harassing the coastline of the Marquis of Jili, and it is expected to fight for at least three months. Therefore, during this period, the military factories must continue to maintain high-production capacity operations. I am afraid that they will not be able to relax until the main mainland war is over..."
Xuande wailed, and said: "Don't say it, my lord, the military factories on Lian Island, Gan Island, and any island in the Holy Land will be required to be fully activated.
My lord, hang up first, and the subordinates will return directly to Jidao. "
Qu Mao is glad that his request to Sylvia Ocean and Fur Swamp is not only to conduct naval training and harassment operations, but also to request the Navy to send another fleet consisting of 500 warships and 500 transport ships , all loaded with food, and continue to supply the Principality of Fulu.
Not only are all the transport ships filled with food, Qu Mao also asked the accompanying heroes to fill their backpacks with food. Qu Mao really wanted to help Fuzhi solve the food crisis once and for all.
Regarding Qu Mao's request, Sylvia Ocean and Fuer Swamp did not bargain, but immediately began to arrange the implementation. Fortunately, the number of naval heroes in the territory of Yicheng was not small, and the manpower was well arranged. come over.
