Horse on the World

Chapter 623 Ocean Strategy
When Deng Peng walked into Li Qing's room, he also had a surprised smile on his face. It seemed that he also knew about Tang Hu ordering someone to rob Dr. Huanxi.

"Sit!" Li Qing pointed to a chair in front of him.

"Thank you, Marshal!" Deng Peng thanked Li Qing, just as it was ready, Li Gan already offered fragrant tea.

"Marshal, General Tiger..." Deng Peng looked at Li Qing inquiringly.

Li Qing waved his hand, "Oh, it's nothing. I heard that Zhong Jing was injured a little bit. Hu Zi asked Dr. Huan to go over and have a look. The method was a little drastic. It seems that I have to wipe his ass for this bastard. Li Gan, prepare a gift and go to Dr. Huan's residence tomorrow, and say that this generation of tigers can't be accompanied by him!"

Li Gan nodded in agreement.

Since Tang Hu wanted to get Huan Xi away at all costs, then Zhong Jing definitely didn't get a little injury lightly from the commander in chief. Ask again.

"I don't know if the commander-in-chief summoned me today, what's his order?" Deng Peng said.

"You will be leaving again in a few days. I want to hear your vision for the navy in the past few years." Li Qing said.

After returning to Dingzhou, Deng Peng once presented his vision for the development and strategy of the Dingzhou Navy in the next few years. Now Li Qing is specifically looking for him to talk, either because he wants to hear more details from him, or because he is interested in this vision. Dissatisfied, thinking of this, Deng Peng couldn't help but looked at Li Qing anxiously, but found that there was nothing unusual about him.

"Marshal, in terms of the size of the navy, our Dingzhou navy is now the largest in the world. Although the Southern Army has a strong navy foundation, after we established a complete island blockade chain first, their scope of action is already huge. Affected, and Tianqi Luoyang, only the Inland River Fleet, basically no major threat to our navy, so our main enemy is the Southern Army Navy."

"Currently, we already have two giant warships, and the Southern Army, according to intelligence analysis, their first giant warship will also be launched at the end of the year, but having such a giant ship does not mean having the corresponding warships. We have owned the Qiyuan for more than a year, and we have just figured out a way. As time goes on, our advantage on the water will become bigger and bigger."

"Based on this, we have formulated a strategy to restrict the development of the Southern Army's naval forces and block them in the offshore, and use the central axis of Lianshan Island to establish a front that can launch a surprise attack on the territory controlled by the Southern Army at any time."

"The Navy's base in Heishuiyang is far away from our Dingzhou mainland, and logistics supplies are extremely difficult. Have you ever thought about this problem?" Li Qing asked.

Deng Peng glanced at Li Qing. This is a real problem, but it is also an unsolvable problem. Bases such as Lianshan Island are too far away from the mainland of Dingzhou.

"I've read your report. To complete your series of strategic ideas and pose a substantial threat to the southern army, you need a lot of money to fill in. In addition, the overseas ring road is too far away from us. Every point you add will cost you a lot of money on the road." Half of it will be consumed, which will drag down our Dingzhou finances."

Deng Peng was startled, is the commander-in-chief going to veto his proposal?The commander-in-chief had always supported the navy before, as long as he brought it up, he would definitely be satisfied, so he had never considered economic issues, but now it seems that the commander-in-chief's attention has begun to shift up.

"Marshal, I think our sailors can consider solving part of it themselves."

"Oh?" Li Qing raised his head and looked at Deng Peng with interest, "You solve it yourself? It's still in the truce period, you can't go to the police to rob, right? This will make us politically passive. "

"No!" Deng Peng gritted his teeth, in order not to let the commander-in-chief veto the navy's proposal, he had no choice but to bite the bullet.

"Marshal, in the process of hunting down pirates, some of them can't really be called pirates, but after gathering on the island, they sat on the ground to buy the robbed things, and then sailed to the other end of the ocean. The interrogation revealed that on the other side of the ocean, there are many countries that are different from ours. The products produced by our Dachu are very popular there, and the profits are often ten times or a hundred times. Through this method, these people get Leshju. I was thinking, if they can do it, why can't we do it?"

"We have a powerful navy, and if we directly drag the goods there to sell, the income will definitely be higher." Deng Peng said.

Li Qing was shocked, and finally got news from the other side of the ocean. Looking at Deng Peng, he asked, "Since there is news about this, have you sent someone over there to learn more about their politics, economy, and military affairs?" other strengths?"

"No!" Deng Peng lowered his head a little ashamedly, "I always thought it was not our business, and some bits and pieces of information were obtained from those pirates. I just know that it is not like our big Chu, although the territory It’s also huge, but there are dozens of countries. Those pirates have never gone deep, and they just heard about it in the port facing the sea.”

Li Qing stood up excitedly, "Deng Peng, increase your efforts in this area, and strive to find more detailed information, political, military, economic, people's livelihood, any kind of information is fine, the world is big, and there are many others out there." If something we have never seen before can really collude with the two sides, it will be limitless for the future development of our Dingzhou."

"You should know that in the next few years, the biggest difficulty we will face will not be military pressure, but economic difficulties. Whether it is Tianqi or King Ning, it will all be on this Blockade me. I have hundreds of thousands of troops in Dingzhou. If there is no strong financial support, this will drag us down forever. Therefore, we have to find another way and find another way of making money. The profit of this kind of overseas trade you mentioned is It’s extremely lucrative. Ordinary people will take great risks if they do it. Along the way, if there is a slight storm, they will lose everything and face countless threats from pirates, but we don’t have such worries at all.”

"Get through the sea channel!" Li Qing's eyes lit up, "That means countless money will flow into our wallets."

"Now do you know why I spare no effort to expand the navy under the strong opposition of everyone? With a strong navy, we can cross the black water ocean. Go where we want to go and get what we want !
"Marshal, it turns out that you have been preparing to open up sea routes from the very beginning, so you have spared no effort to develop the Navy." Deng Peng's eyes were full of reverence, "Did you expect to have today?"

Li Qing was dumbfounded. Of course he couldn't say that he had spared no effort to develop the navy from the very beginning. In fact, he didn't expect it today, but it originated from the dream of every Chinese in his previous life. every corner of the world.In his previous life, he could only think about it, but now, he has the ability to make this goal come true, and now is the time to take the first step.

"Deng Peng, on the other side of the ocean, there is another world. There may be more surprises in the farther place. I hope you sailors can travel to every corner of this world. Wherever there is an ocean, you With our fleet, there are our products, and there are our people."

Infected by Li Qing's passionate emotions, Deng Peng stood up abruptly, "Commander, I will definitely do it, and I will definitely make the reputation of the commander spread all over Heishuiyang."

"Sit down, sit down!" Li Qing said with a smile: "Commander Deng, there is one thing I must remind you, what you are about to do is something that no one has ever done before, and the place you are going to , not everyone is welcome to go, if you encounter such a situation, what will you do?"

Deng Peng's eyes flashed with anger, "Commander, if we go to a place that welcomes us, we will use legitimate trade methods in exchange for money. For places that don't welcome us, or even hostile to us, hehe, I am looking forward to more The places that treat us like this, the warships and marines allocated to us by the commander are not only used to transport and protect goods, they will bring more iron and blood. We will directly turn these places into our territory, Isn't it better?"

Li Qing clapped his hands lightly, "Very good, this is the way we Dingzhou people handle things. Deng Peng, there are many risks involved in opening up this kind of waterway. You need to plan in many ways and strive to be foolproof."

"Yes, handsome!"

"Do you still have any difficulties?" Li Qing asked.

"Marshal, according to our interrogation, most of the products going to those places are silk, porcelain, tea, etc. Except for porcelain, silk and tea are not produced in large quantities in our control area. Once we open up this route , We have so many goods shipped out to make money?"

Li Qing tapped the table lightly. This is indeed a question. What is the most famous product produced in Dingzhou? It is a weapon, a first-grade bow, a hundred-shot crossbow, a trebuchet, a ballista, and a sword that cuts the enemy like mud. !Except for Dingzhou porcelain, which is not bad, the other two are actually nothing to ask for.

"Go to Long Sihai and discuss with merchants like Wen Jin!" Li Qingdao, "The merchants in Dingzhou can also participate in this matter. We are responsible for opening up the route, and they are responsible for organizing the goods. After the profit, Fifty-five points!"

Deng Peng hesitated, "Those businessmen are extremely realistic guys. It seems that this matter may not be beneficial for a while, and the investment is huge. Will they participate? And they are not capable of getting what we want. What do you want?"

Li Qing laughed, "Deng Peng, you underestimate these people. Let me tell you, as long as there is ten times the profit, these people will make a move. If there is dozens or hundreds of times the profit, they will take more risks. You just tell them you want the stuff and how much they can get, and you're guaranteed these merchants will surprise you, something we can't get, but they can get."

"Open up the sea routes and let our fleet cross the four seas, Deng Peng, these fleets will become our hematopoietic machines, and will continuously provide us with fresh blood. Apocalypse wants to use the economy to crush me, I want to see it , who will be the first to collapse in the end!"!
