Chapter 4247: I can't say it

When Liu Bei and Sun Ce were communicating, Zhou Yu finally arrived in Huashi City.

Originally, based on the current situation in the Han Dynasty, Chen Xi should go to Bala Yega, but on the one hand, Bala Yega is still the front line. Although the war has stopped, the bandit army problem has not yet been resolved. Chen Xi's past is somewhat dangerous. On the other hand, Chen Xi also felt that it was too formal for him and Liu Bei to meet Sun Ce and Zhou Yu together, it was simply an alliance of princes.

At that time, a lot of things can’t be said too openly. After all, someone must record such a big event, so when Liu Bei sent someone to send a telegram asking Chen Xi if he wanted to go there, or when they went to Fahrenheit City to see Chen Xi, Chen Xi thought about it. Refused.

From Chen Xi's point of view, the loss this time is not a big deal, not even as big as what happened in Jizhou last year, even if the biggest joy in Jizhou was forcibly held down by Chen Xi the day before it happened. The situation is not much better.

At least Chen Xi can bear this incident, and Chen Xi can't bear it in Jizhou either.

"Ah, you are here." Chen Xi looked at Zhou Yu who entered the door and sighed. Although he was waiting for Zhou Yu, he did not go out to greet him. Instead, Dong Zhao who was next to Chen Xi went to greet him.

To be honest, Dong Zhao is really powerful, and he really found a way not to take the blame. Chen Xi thought that he couldn't escape no matter what, and he didn't need to blame Dong Zhao, so after confirming with Dong Zhao again and again, he decided to be himself. It would be better to chat with Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu waved his hands with a sallow complexion. After entering the hall, he signaled to Zheng Du that he didn’t need to support him, as he was not dead yet, and Chen Xi signaled to Dong Zhao to go out too. It's just not nice for Zhou Yu to say it.

"I won't ask the reason." Zhou Yu sat on the chair and said with a sigh, "Since you are the one who explained it yourself, that is to say, there is no problem, is it just the right time?"

Chen Xi sighed, "I've had people check it in many ways, and it's indeed a coincidental meeting. This time, there are actually many factors of chance."

"Did Qu Nu City bottom out when it retreated?" Zhou Yu asked a question, and after Chen Xi answered, he asked another question.

"It bottomed out and rebounded." Zhou Yu also replied very simply, "Actually, it's more because the fleet going upstream suffered a lot of losses, otherwise you can choose to go by water."

Chen Xi nodded. The people of Qunv City who migrated before have already been counted, about 180,000. Not counting the outrageous way of mounting and dragging the waterway, the Han army can only transport 36,000 soldiers, so Zheng Du said to go by water, Zhou Yu's answer was that he needed to give up most of his soldiers.

Although it is said that if you go directly, you will be bitten by Kusroin, but if you have enough boats, you can take the water route to the rear of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, which is actually a replica of the situation when Great Britain retreated.

However, the ship could not hold so many people, and the Han Dynasty could not give up their soldiers at this time due to some historical reasons, so they had to settle for the next best thing.

"Didn't Meng Kangbu go to Malacca?" Zhou Yu sighed after answering, all his arrangements were in Malacca.

It's not that he didn't consider that Meng Kangbu would be dispatched, but that he didn't consider that Meng Kangbu would play the main force with him. After all, with Zhou Yu in the Han Dynasty Navy, Meng Kangbu should not be able to win, so according to the normal thinking, It was the right choice for Meng Kangbu to attack the base of the Han Dynasty Navy.

As a result, Meng Kangbu did not attack the Han Dynasty naval base, but directly came to copy Zhou Yu's retreat.

"According to our analysis, Meng Kangbu didn't come to bet on whether you will leave or not, but went straight for you." Chen Xi said seriously.

Zhou Yu choked when he heard the words, and coughed again and again. It was supposed to be a mouthful of blood, which should have been cured long ago, but Zhou Yu had some heart failure, which has not resolved it yet.

"Meng Kangbu dares to bully me?" Zhou Yu's cold eyes were tinged with coldness.

During this period of time, Zhou Yu was exhausted from repeated blows, but in this case, Zhou Yu showed a kind of coldness that was different from usual.

"Uh, that's not true. We guessed that he was really sure and rushed towards you, but you were not there, and there were certain loopholes in the investigative methods used by Cai Degui and the others." Chen Xi sighed and said, "Of course, this Just our estimate."

The cold light in Zhou Yu's eyes subsided, but he also had some guesses about it in his heart, and finally nodded slowly.

"Looking at the coastal areas at present, the purely super-heavy ballista is not enough to face the naval fleet, and the cost of replacing it with naval guns is a bit too high." Chen Xi said helplessly.

The cost of the naval guns is too high, so high that Chen Xi doesn't want to get this for the land-based battery. In fact, not every quasi-seventh-generation ship has a naval gun. If you really want to use the land-based battery, there are too many of them.

"Currently the correct approach should be to deploy super-heavy permanent ballistas for waterways." Zhou Yu waved his hand, and he arranged such things on both sides of the Malacca, Kra Isthmus Canal, Lombok Strait, and Sunda Strait. Zhou Yu dared to leave Southeast Asia with the main force of the navy.

After blocking these places, Meng Kangbu basically had to choose to go around the westerly belt if he wanted to enter the Pacific Ocean from the Indian Ocean. He didn't mention the logistical pressure caused by the overloading of the Guishuang battleship, but only talked about the danger of going around the westerly belt in the southern hemisphere.

Let's put it this way, the Guishuang Fleet went through the westerly belt of the southern hemisphere once without enough nautical information, and was led by Meng Kangbu. It is considered luck and super strength to pass one-third of the time.

When Zhou Yu was beaten by Celian, he also considered detouring the westerly belt in the southern hemisphere. After trying it once, he realized that this thing needs to be killed, so he had to smash the canal of Malacca and the Kra Isthmus.

After Zhou Yu seized these straits, he began to build various land-based forts, but reduced the frequency of use, and tried to catch Meng Kangbu to attack Southeast Asia.

It's just that Meng Kangbu actually had the strength to attack Zhou Yu after the ship change was completed. As a result, after seizing the opportunity, instead of capturing the seemingly more important naval base, he went straight to Zhou Yu, the naval commander. Leading to the disastrous defeat of the Han army navy.

"That is to say, you also think that in the coastal areas, only ballistas are not enough to face Meng Kangbu, right?" Chen Xi rarely thought from another perspective.

Zhou Yu was silent for a while and nodded. Although he was absolutely sure to face Meng Kangbu at sea, and encountered a cover once, Zhou Yu still admitted that without him, other people really couldn't beat Meng Kang at the moment. Bu, that guy is also very powerful.

"I roughly understand the situation." Chen Xi nodded. In this case, they will have to shrink to a certain extent in the Bay of Bengal area.

Zhou Yu sighed. If it was just the failure of Qunv City, it would not be necessary. However, the heavy loss of the navy made the Han Dynasty unable to suppress the entire Indian Ocean in a short time. Impossible to play at will.

But no matter how strong Zhou Yu is, he still needs warships and subordinates to display his due strength. But now Zhou Yu wants to have no subordinates, no boats, so he can only shrink back for a while.

"The ship will be fully prepared on my side, it's just a matter of time, and it will be as fast as possible, and I will transfer the sixth-generation ship in reserve to Ye Tiao's side, but I really can't help too much on the human side." Too busy..." Chen Xi looked at Zhou Yu and said flickeringly.

The sixth-generation ship is not just a reserve, there are also some that have just been built and have not yet been delivered, and those that have been built and are being used as fishing boats. Chen Xi plans to embezzle these directly. The fishing industry in Donglai and Xuzhou has not been so short in a short time. The batch of warships is actually not a big problem.

Here I have to say that it is a good thing that the shipyards in Donglai and other places did not distinguish warships and merchant ships in detail. categories or something.

It's just that Chen Xi thought about it, and gave up. These days, thousands of tons of fishing boats are actually overflow products. Even if they are cut out and the process is re-planned, it will only save some material costs, and it is better to make them all warships.

A type of ship has been practiced continuously, whether it is construction efficiency or product stability, it will reach a certain limit, and the material cost of merchant ships, to be honest, is not as important as the above three, so at present the Han Dynasty has always used warships as For fishing boats.

It is precisely because of this kind of operation that at least the level of the sixth-generation ship can still be recruited under the order of the Han Dynasty, otherwise the current situation is really embarrassing.

By the way, this is actually the basis for Chen Xi to prepare another navy, because the ships used by the large state-owned fisheries in Donglai and Xuzhou are actually sixth-generation ships, and they have basically mastered the mainstream basic technology of the navy, and they also have the basic ability to distinguish sea conditions.

As for combat effectiveness, these large state-owned industries have a very strict military service system, and they also have elite backbones serving in them. At most, these people lack more detailed naval technical and tactical training and navigation operation training.

But relatively speaking, these people really have the ability to master the navy's current mainstream techniques, tactics and combat skills after about a year of assault training.

Because these people have the operational ability needed for warships. Except for heavy weapons, the sixth-generation ships used by the East China Sea Ocean Fisheries Department are actually exactly the same as the sixth-generation ships used on the battlefield. Chen Xi also has his own advantages when using battleships to fish considerate.

It's the same as when later generations used decommissioned warships as coast guard ships. In fact, there is also the meaning of proficiency in it, but Chen Xi has more resources, so he can directly match them one by one.

In fact, when Chen Xi was eyeing Zhou Yu's navy and preparing to use them as the backbone of mechanical technology, he had already figured out the way out, but it's a pity that he can't use them now.

As for handing over the crew of the East China Sea Ocean Fisheries Department to Zhou Yu, Chen Xi was also thinking about it. Originally, he planned to steal Zhou Yu's navy and use this group of people to top the tank. Zhou Yu was unhappy for a while, so Chen Xi accepted it as a compensation. .

After three to five years, when the industry in the middle and lower reaches of the Ganges is completed, the borrowed people will be returned to Zhou Yu one after another, and then the previous batch of people from the Ocean Fisheries Department will be replaced, so that the backbone of the East China Sea Fleet will be built.

Originally, the plan was such a plan, but now Chen Xi is a bit uncomfortable to say this.

Because of the thunderstorm in the Jiangdong army, it is inevitable to activate the army system. In this case, if the navy is also replaced by northerners, it will inevitably cause turmoil.

It's not that Chen Xi doesn't understand politics, but that he doesn't want to get involved in it unless necessary. Now that the army system has been changed, and the navy has been changed, Jiangdong is not the only one that will be bombed.

This approach, among other things, has a strong sense of reckoning, to the point where Liu Bei and Chen Xi have done so many things that they have done before.

"The Department of Oceanic Fisheries of the East China Sea can still squeeze out more than 40,000 employees. These people are all skilled crew members who have worked on the fifth-generation and sixth-generation ships for more than four years." Can this kind of thing be said at this time? Even if it is to let Zhou Yu use something first, can you say it?

Chen Xi thought that Zhou Yu was already so strong. The crew was poached by himself. Changing some people would be a joke at most, and it would not affect the situation. Anyway, these people are enough. The only thing left is the professor of tactics, who will pay for some supplies. Zhou Yu I won't mind, and it's not that I won't return it.

As a result, he was so inattentive that the Jiangdong army unexpectedly had a thunderstorm at this time, and it was inevitable to activate the army's military system. What else could Chen Xi say?

If Zhou Yu had been at any other time, he would definitely have sensed the hesitation in Chen Xi's expression.

Chen Xi is not the kind of person who likes to hide his emotions very much, especially in front of acquaintances, it is very difficult to hide his emotions and anger. However, at this time, Zhou Yu suffered from heart failure due to successive blows, even though he saw Chen Xi's expression , ignoring the past.

Zhou Yu was thinking about how much such a batch of ships could restore the navy.

With such a group of sixth-generation ships and a seventh-generation ship as the flagship, some other ships are mixed together, and with the naval soldiers trained by Shang Cai Mao, at least they can set up a shelf.

Such an air, under Zhou Yu's command, as long as it is pulled out and turned around without sinking the ship, at least Meng Kangbu will not act recklessly, and this is very important.

"At that time, I will lead people to attack once, but for the next attack, there must be intelligence connection, very accurate information." Zhou Yu thought that he understood Chen Xi's thoughts, and gave a direct answer.

The navy under Cai Mao's command can also board the ship at present. If Zhou Yu takes the attack, he must make good plans. If there is an encounter, Zhou Yu will most likely capsize.

Therefore, Zhou Yu told Chen Xi very clearly that when he proceeds next, he must have accurate information. Only by fighting to tell Meng Kangbu that the Han Dynasty Navy is still alive, and that it is best to annihilate Meng Kangbu's squadron, can Meng Kangbu Bu stopped.

When it comes to strategy and tactics alone, Zhou Yu's vision is definitely not inferior to Chen Xi's. He also understands the situation and how to break it, but this time, Zhou Yu obviously misunderstood.
