Mao Wenlong just received a telegram.

The combined fleet of Western colonists suddenly appeared near Luzon!

According to the detailed information reported by Li Jingxian.

This time, the Western colonists were obviously well prepared. They dispatched a total of more than 2,000 warships of various sizes, and it was estimated that they would be equipped with tens of thousands of artillery pieces!

The enemy's combined fleet was simply overwhelming.

Above the vast ocean, a huge, boundless shadow formed, with no end in sight.

Not only that.

This menacing enemy fleet.

Along the way, he did not change his bandit nature and plundered cities along the way.

They continued to plunder and advance northward.

Therefore, there is no need for Li Jingxian and his team to investigate on their own.

There were survivors who fled north and told Li Jingxian and his team the relevant news...

After reporting all the situations truthfully to his superiors, Li Jingxian immediately requested his superiors to allow his dual aircraft carrier fleet to take the initiative to attack.

He planned to directly send out the invincible fleet consisting of invincible steel battleships and advanced fighter jets.

The enemy's combined fleet was completely annihilated in one fell swoop.

However, Wang Wenlong felt that this was totally unnecessary.

——It’s just like using a butcher’s knife to kill a chicken!

After all, if we use a double aircraft carrier fleet right from the start, what will we do if we scare the enemy away in an instant?

So many enemies fled in all directions.

It would be too troublesome to gather the navy soldiers!

Besides, we can’t completely scare the enemy at once!

Because Mao Wenlong needed the enemy's constant resistance so that he could find a reason to march westward later!

Otherwise, if you start out without a name, many things will be difficult to handle...

……

So Mao Wenlong called Li Jingxian back.

Just let him deploy 1/10 of the steel battleships.

As for aircraft carriers, only one can be deployed.

And it can't be driven to the front line.

From a hundred miles behind the front line, it is enough to provide air support to the front line.

Because the sea ships of this era were all wooden ships.

The enemy has not yet entered the era of steel battleships, and other weapons and equipment are also very backward.

It is completely not on the same level as the navy under Mao Wenlong.

So there is no need to deploy so many warships.

Dozens of fighter jets were dispatched to straf the enemy's combined fleet.

Then the navy's fleet rolled over.

It is enough to cripple the enemy's army.

Li Jingxian naturally understood this point.

So after receiving Mao Wenlong's telegram, Li Jingxian had no objection.

Immediately follow Mao Wenlong's orders.

Begin mobilizing fleets and troops to prepare for battle against the enemy's combined fleet...

As for the choice of the scheduled battlefield.

Mao Wenlong proposed a proposal to locate it near Hainan Island.

There are two main reasons for doing this: First, it allows one to adopt a wait-and-see strategy, thus reducing one's own workload and consumption of material resources.

Secondly, after winning this great naval battle.

Ships, supplies, prisoners, etc. captured from the enemy can be transported to Hainan Island more conveniently.

In Mao Wenlong’s plan.

In the future, Hainan Island will be built into a large comprehensive military base.

The army, navy and air force will all station troops here in order to launch an offensive in Southeast Asia.

It can also serve as an important supply base.

However, the plan has yet to be officially launched.

This is mainly because it requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and cannot be built in a short period of time.

Mao Wenlong planned to ensure the stability of the inland area first and then manage the basic situation well.

Then we will start to develop Wa Island, Ryukyu Island and Hainan Island.

But now the enemy has come to us on his own initiative.

Then we can use the manpower and materials that the enemy voluntarily offers to us to carry out initial development work on Hainan Island in advance.

Therefore, for Mao Wenlong and others.

The arrival of the united army of colonists is undoubtedly a good thing.

No wonder a certain country in later generations is always keen on launching wars everywhere.

It turns out that it was through fighting.

You can really get huge wealth!

……

Naval officers and soldiers under Mao Wenlong.

We are taking action and preparing for the war.

The Ming court had already fled to Jiaozhi.

News was also received regarding the Western Combined Fleet.

It was Zheng Zhilong who took the initiative to tell them this.

The purpose was to demand people, food and silver from the Ming court.

Emperor Chongzhen quickly summoned people to discuss the matter.

Yuan Chonghuan was the first to object: "Your Majesty, Zheng Zhilong has never truly submitted to the court, and he has also been secretly communicating with those aristocratic families. This person is not reliable. Please be careful."

Wang Huazhen: "The navy is very important to us now, but Zheng Zhilong is not reliable, and it would be inappropriate not to give him the manpower and money he wants!

The old minister suggested that Zheng Zhilong and his fleet be transferred back to the coast of Wenzhi so that they could practice nearby on the sea.

If he is really willing to come back, then we can give him manpower and money and food, and expand the size of the court's navy. If he is unwilling to come back, then we can't blame the court for not providing him with manpower and food!"

Duke of England: "Lord Yuan and Lord Wang are right. We can intervene in battles on land, but we know nothing about naval battles.

Therefore, Zheng Zhilong and his fleet must be firmly controlled by the court. Otherwise, if they are not under control, they can only be left to fend for themselves! "

Shi Kefa: "I second the motion..."

Emperor Chongzhen said: "Regarding Zheng Zhilong's matter, what you said makes sense. I will do as you said.

But what do you think about the Western Combined Fleet? Can they defeat Mao Wenlong?"

Uh!

The combat effectiveness of Mao Wenlong's troops and the power of various advanced weapons and equipment.

Through observation reports from front-line generals and investigations by factory intelligence personnel.

Emperor Chongzhen and the ministers present were all very clear about this.

They also had a general idea of ​​the situation of the Western Combined Fleet.

The combat effectiveness of both sides is completely not on the same level.

Why would you have such a wild idea of ​​something as good as this?

So everyone was silent.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw this situation, he naturally knew what they were thinking!

He just doesn't want to accept it!

The great Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

He was actually chased by Mao Wenlong and his men, all the way from Beijing to a wild place like Jiaozhi.

So Emperor Chongzhen wanted to fight back even in his dreams...

……

The atmosphere looks dull and depressing.

Yuan Chonghuan: "Your Majesty, we are trying every possible way to imitate Mao Wenlong and his men's guns and bullets.

Before guns and bullets are copied, the imperial court should focus on accumulating strength. As for the war between the Westerners and Mao Wenlong, we only need to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. "

Duke of Ying said: "Your Majesty, in Jiaozhi we can harvest three crops a year. As long as we work hard on farming, we don't have to worry about food.

With food, we can feed a large population and even free up a lot of manpower to do other work.

We have also brought a large number of craftsmen with us, so what we lack most now is time. As long as we have enough time to develop, the court will surely become extremely powerful..."

Wang Huazhen: "Lord Yuan and the Duke of England are right. It is better to stay still than to move..."

Emperor Chongzhen said: "That's good. We should continue the land reclamation work and let the craftsmen find ways to imitate guns and bullets.

The construction of the navy cannot be neglected either. In addition, there are also tasks such as mining and road construction, which will require the attention of all of you, my dear ministers."

"Your Majesty is wise and wise, and we will not refuse even if death is the cost..."

……

Yuan Chonghuan and his colleagues had a good idea.

And Mao Wenlong didn't intend to take action against them in a hurry.

I plan to let them develop well there for a few years.

Let them develop and build Jiaozhi.

By then, Mao Wenlong will lead his troops south to witness the construction achievements of the Ming Dynasty.

Wouldn’t it become Mao Wenlong and the others?

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty had time to develop properly.

It’s a pity that some people are just restless!

With the arrival of the combined fleet of Western colonists.

Various interest groups followed the Ming court and ran to Jiaozhi.

I started to do things secretly again...
