Chapter 3516: Building the navy

South Korea’s Navy Ministry, the Secretary of the Navy looked at the completion schedule of the shipyard’s construction.

"The number of warships we can provide to Jeju at present is 14. The number is still very good, which is extremely unfavorable for us. According to our intelligence, the Goguryeo Navy has rapidly equipped 22 ships. The destroyers are equipped with a certain number of torpedoes. Although the number may not be very large, the problem is that they are very large. Twenty-two to fourteen. We must also strengthen our construction plan." The Secretary of the Navy is worried. Speaking of.

"Yes, sir, but in a short period of time, the Koguryo Navy will still not launch an offensive because they lack enough cruisers. I heard that they currently only have two cruisers to complete, and it will still take a long time to complete them all." The deputy chief reported.

"Well. No matter what they are, we must prepare the Jeju Navy. We cannot wait for the enemy to kill and do nothing. If this is the case, it will be too bad. For us, this is the least we should do. What happened." The Secretary of the Navy emphasized.

Jeju Naval Headquarters, Admiral Xue Hai established his own headquarters on Jeju Island as the commander of the Jeju Navy. However, his strength is still relatively small. There are only 14 destroyers and no cruisers. Although there are a lot of troops, there are enough. There are more than 20,000 people, but there are too few warships, and most of the wooden warships cannot function. This is for them. Not good news. It is also the most unfavorable place.

"At present, we have only two battle fleets. One is Rear Admiral Tian Shan’s first destroyer fleet. They are equipped with ten Assault class destroyers. The other is Major General Li Zheng’s Second Destroyer Fleet. They only have four from The Pike-class destroyer from the Chu State has a faster speed and can reach 20 knots. But the number is small and the defense is relatively weak." said a navy lieutenant commander.

"For us, the situation is a disadvantage. We still need to do a lot more, such as guarding against the surrounding situation. In this way, we need more destroyers, with the current 14 destroyers. Such a thing is obviously very difficult to accomplish." said the major.

"This is the most stupid way to do it. All are dispatched. Then, if Gaoju suddenly kills, how can we defend the entire island, should we take the initiative to attack? There is Qi, a non-war zone." The chief of staff shook his head and said. To.

"Well, this approach is not advisable." Admiral Xue Hai said.

"We can only transfer the second destroyer fleet to keep them on guard and search in our western waters, and don’t leave too far. As for the first destroyer fleet, let them be deployed in our north, where they can defend against the sudden enemy. Coming. As for the south, there is behind us. We can do nothing, we can only be passive like this." Xue Haihai said helplessly. Such an arrangement may have a very large impact. If the Koguryo Navy really did this, they would have no way to deal with such a situation. This is a bold arrangement.

"Next, we can only do such a thing when we wait for enough supplies. This kind of thing is risky for us, but it is worth the risk. The army on the island is stepping up its guard and we cannot lose the mobility of the navy. This is South Korea. We must not forget the knowledge that the Navy professor gave us." Admiral Xue Hai nodded towards the South Korean Navy Advisory Group.

This is the knowledge that the Korean Navy teaches the Jeju Navy to maintain the concentration of naval power while dispersing the enemy as much as possible. At the same time, the independence and mobility of the navy should be maintained to the greatest extent, because this is the basic survival of the navy. condition.

If a large number of naval forces are dispersed for alert, it will pose a great threat to them. At that time, they will not have the power to obtain sea dominance from the sea. And by doing so, you can make some reactions at the fastest time. After all, there are radio equipment on it, which can help them gather forces at the fastest speed. This is the biggest advantage the Jeju Navy has shown.

Qin State, Xianyang, General Staff.

"We may have to learn about naval warfare." Wang Jian came in and said.

"Naval battles, we are all army generals, for the navy." Yang Duanhe said, shaking his head.

"Yes, I think so too, but look at Jeju as well as Qi, Zhao, and Chu. They are all actively building warships. I just got news that Qi is pulling in Yan. They want to place part of the shipyard in Yan State and transfer part of the technology so that Yan State will also actively build those warships. In this way, their production capacity will be further improved, and the scale of naval battles may become hundreds of ships. Wars above battleships. And sea dominance will become very important. The cause, we should see, this is for more maritime rights and interests. In the future, Qin may also encounter the same problem." Wang Jian said To. Then he took out a box of cigarettes from his trouser pocket, this kind of thing can refresh and make people become habitual when thinking. Wang Jian started to like this kind of things. He didn't like it at first, or was not used to it. However, he gradually got used to it. Because many strategic issues need to be considered. And tobacco can keep him calm.

"Come on?" Wang Jian said to Yang Duanhe.

"No, I'm not used to it. I'm still not used to this thing. After all, this thing smells weird. I heard that some trading companies are trying to expand more tobacco so that more people can smoke this stuff. After all, this is healthier than Yapian." Yang Duanhe refused. He believes that tobacco is the same thing as Yapian, only the result of fifty steps and one hundred steps. Wang Jian had to put it away. There weren't many things. At present, there are only seeds. Most of them are still trying to cultivate seeds in the greenhouse, and try to plant some things. It seems that the promotion will take some time. If you want to get more, the only way is to ship it from the American continent. It can be said that cigarettes are still a luxury.

"Well. We don't care about these. I can't control it. What I care about is the navy that we will build in the future. Now South Korea is a first-class navy. The number of naval vessels of the Zhao State is small, and the number of the Qi State Navy is gradually increasing. These are our future The main competitor, what should we do in the face of such a competitor, relying solely on the Army cannot solve all the current problems. Wang Shang, also expressed concern in this regard. After all, we can be as fast as possible To unify the world, however, we also need to quickly accept the assets of these countries overseas, and the preparation for acceptance is to build more navies." Wang Jian said with a cigarette.

"What we have to do now is to meet the Navy’s warship building plan as much as possible. We need to build a port and a navy team. We just hope that there will be more commercial support for us to do this. Otherwise, we are very In vain." Wang Jian said to Yang Duanhe.

"What I worry about is the Prime Minister’s Mansion. They can’t provide more funds to do such things, I think you know. Prime Minister Shang Wen seems to disagree that more financial funds should be concentrated on military spending. They would rather spend a lot of money on the military. The funds spent on more infrastructure, education, and other aspects will not be disclosed to military expenditures.” Yang Duanhe said.

"Haha, this time is different. The King said, Prime Minister Shang Wen is a naval party and supports the navy's approach. He has no reason not to do this." Wang Jian said.

Inside the prime minister's house.

"How is the meeting going?" Meng Yi asked Shangwen after finishing the report in his hand.

"Building the navy. This is an important strategy for the Qin army in the next step." Shang Wen said, taking off his coat.

"Building the navy?" Meng Yi was not surprised, but when it was really going to build the navy, Meng Yi still felt a little surprised. The accident was not about the result of building the navy, but that it would cost a lot of money to build the navy.

“I’m not surprised at all. This requires a lot of money. Moreover, we also need to build ports. All these infrastructures are needed. Without these, it will be difficult for us to expand further. Therefore, in terms of financial expenses, the expenditure will be More." Shang Wen said.

"The question is, where did we get such a large amount of funds? Although our fiscal revenue continues to increase, we still need to maintain a lot of places. After all, this country is very large. It is very troublesome to manage, and Qin has never managed it. Over such a large land area." Meng Yi said.

Qin’s low-tax economic stimulus plan is showing its due benefits. For commercial development, the country mainly relies on commercial taxation to increase fiscal revenue, and this revenue is constantly increasing. But it costs a lot, because the country is huge and the expenditures are also huge. This is doomed to insufficient fiscal funds. In fact, the amount is not enough.

"Well, what I think is to stimulate Qin's northern trade to make trade more expansive, and at the same time, to sell part of the resources. In this case, maybe things will be easier to solve everything, and the local economy can be developed at the same time." Shang Wen Speaking of.

"In addition, we also have to develop more trade with South Korea and Chu, hoping to solve our merchant shipping and trade matters through these trades." Shang Wen said. Shang Wen knows that to build the navy, it is more important to build a merchant fleet that is most needed. Without this foundation, a navy is like a navy without a foundation. It is useless, and his role is difficult to play. , Which directly caused a great unfavorable situation.
