The Fourth Financial Crisis

Guhong Island and Shenhuo Sect have been allies for hundreds of years.

Tian Beixi completely ignored the long-standing alliance between the two parties and launched a coup in the other party's base camp. This unscrupulous behavior can indeed be described as a witch. But the results of this bold action were also astonishing.

Tian Beixi used the shortest time to turn the indigenous army of Guhong Island into her own private army. As long as she gave the order, Shi Yi could not even mobilize his own soldiers at will, and he had been completely ignored. A herald and a mini-boss-like presence.

When Tian Beixi heard the question in person, Shi Yi, who was Tian Beixi's number one licker, naturally did not dare to neglect him.

He quickly took three steps at a time and reported respectfully: "Tian Fairy, I was just about to tell you about this! According to the latest news from the frontline scouts, the Haiya Fleet did not go directly after setting off from Yanbo Island. Instead of rushing to the Strait of the Outlying Islands, we went around to the northwest of the Outlying Islands and extorted all the lords in that area one by one, forcing each of them to pay tens of thousands of spirit stone coins in hard work before we gave up!"

"Hard work fee? Isn't this extortion?"

Tian Beixi couldn't help but be slightly startled when he heard this outrageous explanation.

Then she laughed in an unladylike manner. It wasn't until Shi Yi was a little confused that Tian Beixi gradually stopped laughing.

Noticing Shi Yi's surprised look, Tian Beixi said with some self-deprecation: "I thought the commander of the Haiya Fleet was planning some kind of conspiracy, but I didn't expect that he was blatantly messing it up. Now it seems that the Haiya Fleet will probably kill me." It’s easier to deal with than imagine!”

Shi Yi subconsciously glanced at the mighty Haiya Fleet on the distant sea. Although the Sea Cliff Fleet is nearly five miles away from their base camp, and there is still rising fog covering the sea, the towering outline of the ocean-going merchant ships of the Sea Cliff Fleet, like a city wall, is still vaguely discernible.

If we talk about sea power alone, even if all the ships on the outlying islands are put together, they may not be enough to fill the gap between the sea cliff fleet.

Such a terrifying war beast cannot be said to be easy to deal with no matter how badly it is defeated, right?

So he warned with some caution: "To be able to drive the Haiya Chamber of Commerce to dispatch such a large fleet, the Wuliang Sword Sect has definitely spent a lot of money to defend the outlying islands. Fairy Tian must not underestimate the enemy!"

Tian Beixi shook his head slightly and said: "Haiya Chamber of Commerce has been operating arms business in outlying islands for thousands of years, and its technical accumulation of ordinary weapons is the best in Kyushu. I definitely have no intention of looking down on Haiya Chamber of Commerce!"

"Then why is the fairy laughing for no reason?"

Tian Beixi explained somewhat meaningfully: "Although the Haiya Fleet has strong book strength, their weaknesses are also very prominent. If I say, I was only 60-70% sure of my judgment, but after seeing them taking a special detour to extort After blackmailing the lord of the outlying island, I am at least 90% sure that I can catch the opponent's flaw! It's a pity that this powerful fleet will be ruined on the outlying island in vain because of the ignorance of the senior officials of the Sea Cliff Sect and the Wuliang Sword Sect!"

Shi Yi had seen the power of Tian Beixi's "demon magic", and he thought Tian Beixi was planning to repeat his old tricks and use the power of "demon magic" to destroy the fleet.

So he said with some concern: "Tian Fairy, it's not that I, Shi Yi, look down on your strength. Although your unique magic is invincible in the world, it seems that it cannot be used casually at sea. Otherwise, this outlying island war would not have been dragged on to this day. Finish……"

The same move will inevitably become ineffective if used too much.

Tian Beixi was not surprised when she heard that Shi Yi discovered the weakness of gunpowder that could not be used at sea. After all, if gunpowder could be pointed and hit like a missile, she would be able to defeat all the outlying island lords in half a month. The outlying island war The fight has not ended yet, which in itself can explain a lot of problems.

So she just said in a noncommittal tone: "So what do you want to say?"

"Tian Fairy, although the Haiya fleet is approaching the city, it has not attacked rashly like the outlying island coalition forces. I'm afraid they are already prepared to fight us!"

Faced with the doubts of his allies, Tian Beixi just smiled: "After all, we easily defeated the 100,000-strong coalition army of the outlying island lords. The Haiya Fleet should be more cautious! If the opponent ignores the charge, I will still I suspect they are up to something."

"But if the confrontation between the two sides continues for a long time, it will be very detrimental to our Guhong Island army!"

"Tell me, where are our disadvantages?"

"Although we have used the eight or nine days wasted by the Haiya Fleet to urgently stockpile a large amount of supplies from the rear, we can even barely sustain it for half a year without follow-up supplies. But we have not mastered the control of the sea after all. If we really If we are so tightly besieged by the Haiya Fleet, our supplies will one day be exhausted by the opponent!" Although Shi Yi has poor moral integrity, he has quite a lot of combat experience, and he directly revealed the biggest weakness of the Guhong Island army.

However, Tian Beixi just glanced at the direction of the Haiya Fleet from a distance and said firmly: "Don't worry, the Haiya Fleet will only be more restless than us."

"Please ask Fairy Tian for advice!"

Tian Beixi also did not hesitate to share his views: "The essence of this outlying island war is not Guhong Island versus Haiya Fleet, but Shenhuo Sect versus Wuliang Sword Sect. No matter how strong the Haiya Fleet is, it is essentially fighting for Wuliang Sword Sect. To work. To maintain such a large fleet, the daily consumption is not a small amount. Even if the Haiya Chamber of Commerce can afford it, it has no incentive to continue to consume it with us. "

"what do you mean……"

"To put it bluntly, the commander of the Sea Cliff Fleet would rather attack rashly and then be annihilated than to avoid getting into a war of attrition with us!"

Tian Beixi's judgment was too arbitrary, and even Shi Yi didn't believe it: "The Wuliang Sword Sect is the largest sect in Kyushu, and the Haiya Chamber of Commerce is also the leader of the ocean trade in the Eastern Ocean. How can these two powerful forces combine Is it so bad?"

"The biggest problem of Wuliang Sword Sect and Haiya Sect is not that there are no smart people, but that there are too many smart people!" Tian Beixi couldn't help laughing again after hearing Shi Yi's doubts, "Sometimes, smart people Too much will be bad, because every smart person thinks that his or her own little calculations will not destroy the overall situation, but the overall situation is made up of everyone’s small calculations!”

Having said this, Tian Beixi puffed up his chest and said quite proudly: "I, Tian Beixi, came to the island alone. I may seem weak, but I can fully represent the interests of the Shenhuo Sect. The Wuliang Sword Sect entrusted the Haiya Chamber of Commerce to organize a fleet. Reinforcements may seem overwhelming, but there are irreconcilable conflicts between the interests of the executor and the client. This is the most essential difference between us!"

Although Tian Beixi was an outsider, he revealed the biggest weakness of the Haiya Fleet.

Although Tian Beixi crossed the sea alone to leave the island, she managed Guhong Island like a piece of iron. Even Shi Yi, the lord of Guhong Island, became a puppet under her command. On the other hand, the coastal fleet organized by the Wuliang Sword Faction, internally The interest relationship has turned into a mess.

The overall strategic goal of supporting outlying islands was formulated by the Wuliang Sword Sect, but the specific implementation was fully responsible for the Haiya Department; the commander-in-chief of the Haiya Fleet was appointed by Han Xinhe, but the fleet was organized by Su Yuanfeng; the Haiya Department's mastermind Lin Dong was Lin Dong. Lin Jianxing was sent, but the main funding was approved by Mo Yunlan; Yang Lu seemed to be here to help, but in fact he was ready to surrender to the enemy at any time...
