Chapter 670: build a navy
Not long after the pandas finished cleaning the battlefield, good news came from the other teams that were chasing and killing the smugglers.
Everyone was successful.
The new map marking function of the system is really powerful. Originally, the smugglers thought that as long as they fled to the sea, the enemy would not be able to follow the traces to kill them, so they were a little careless. Who knows that on the maps of the travelers, The target they want to pursue is a big red dot, and even the coordinates are clear.
There is no obstacle in the vast sea, and since the enemy's position is known, even a fool can chase and kill in the direction.
In the end, all four smuggling clippers were caught up. The smugglers of the two ships chose to surrender, and the other two chose to resist to the end.
But this choice doesn't really make a difference.
Resisting in the end is naturally a dead end. Even if they surrendered, Yuneruo didn't mean to forgive them.
As one of the main persons responsible for causing this war, the smuggling association will definitely be severely punished by him. Those ordinary sailors, like the captain and mate, as well as the liaison officer of the Chamber of Commerce, all belong to the ranks of "first offenders" or "primary criminals". Yuneruo won't show mercy to them, resisting or not, it's a death sentence!
As for the smuggling business associations behind them... Of course, Yuneruo also wanted to hunt down and kill them, but when Panda and others interrogated the crew members of the smuggling ships who were caught, they found that this goal was probably impossible to achieve. .
These chambers of commerce were all attacked by mysterious necromancers. The leaders of the chambers of commerce were all dead except for fleeing, and all of them died so tragically that even a person full of anger could not bear it. Live to the point of sympathy for them.
The smuggling ships pursued by the pandas and the others are almost the last strength of these chambers of commerce. They had planned to fish in troubled waters in this war, make a fortune and then run away to find a place to make a comeback. Unexpectedly, it has become a door to death. It is really a way to heaven if you don't go, and a way to go to **** without a door.
"So, those smuggling chambers of commerce are completely destroyed?" A few days later, when all the pursuers returned, at the military meeting, Yuneruo touched his chin and asked, "This is the end of our fight?"
"It should be over." Lana said, "On the side of the human pioneers, the Five Towns Alliance has also sent messengers to express their surrender - what they mean is, please become king as soon as possible, and then they will Accept your canonization and become your lord."
"A king whose entire territory is one island?" Yunero smiled, "I'm not the right person to be such a shabby king!"
"So, when are you going to unify the entire Sea Dragon Archipelago?" Panda asked.
Yunero pondered for a while, and said, "I think we will have to wait a little longer. In the next year or two, I am going to concentrate on development. On the one hand, I am accumulating population and food, and on the other hand, I have to train the navy—to unify the whole Sea Dragon Islands, a strong navy is indispensable."
"Actually, I think it doesn't matter if we don't have a navy. We have an air force anyway." Since it was a private meeting of his own people, Atlas did not use the shape-shifting orb to look more like a human, but directly used the Griffin The terrifying appearance attended, "We are watching from the sky, your infantry swept across the ground, and you can sweep the entire Sea Dragon Islands without any navy!"
"If you just want to win the land battle, you may indeed not need the navy." Yuneruo shook his head and said, "but if you want to firmly rule the entire Sea Dragon Islands, you must have a navy."
Everyone thought about it and nodded.
As he said, simply pursuing victory and occupying the land is indeed possible without the navy. But to rule the entire Hailong Islands, a large amount of maritime traffic must be required, and the transportation of food and various resources must rely on navigation. Therefore, if there is no strong navy, the rule of this archipelago will not be stable. At most, it is like the so-called "rule" of the little devils during the Anti-Japanese War. If you leave towns and bunkers, you will not be a fart. May be coldly shot by the guerrillas...
What Yune wants to build is a stable and prosperous country, so he must need a strong navy to maintain the coastal defense of the entire country and ensure that people in this country can live and work in peace and live a stable life.
For that, it doesn't matter if you wait a few more years. If you have food in your hand, don't panic, practice your internal skills and then enter the arena, at least you can win the battle without relying on adventures or the author's opening at the critical moment.
After the meeting, this force, which was barely considered the embryonic form of the country, set a major policy for the next few years.
As Yuneruo said, in the next few years, their main goals are still two things - the first is to stabilize the rule of Longtou Island, use practical actions to reassure the people under them, and enhance cohesion and centripetal force; second It is to train the navy to prepare for the conquest of the entire Hailong Islands, and even to stabilize the national defense after the founding of the country.
There is no need to say much about the former. At present, Longtou Island is still a large area and sparsely populated, as long as you work hard to produce more fields and produce more. The latter is a bit troublesome, and there are many things to prepare.
Yuneruo is not short of ships, and these naval battles have brought him a large number of ships. Most of them are clippers that can be transformed into warships. In terms of hardware conditions, they are enough to form at least two small and medium-sized fleets. For an emerging country, it is already a sufficient naval force.
But the problem is that he lacks sailors, navy, admirals, navigator instructors... In terms of talents, he lacks everything!
So after the meeting, Uniero specially summoned Sinbad, the navigator who was recruited by the panda. The elite sailor whose name is very similar to a protagonist in "One Thousand and One Nights" is not young, but still ambitious. During the conversation, the answers were fluent, showing a wealth of sailing knowledge, which surprised everyone.
After some answer, if Yune was very satisfied, he appointed him as the deputy commander of one of the two fleets of the navy, in charge of planning and training. He also made it clear that if after two years, the fleet performs well and meets his requirements, the word "deputy" at the front of the three words "deputy commander" will be removed.
Hearing that he might become the commander of a naval fleet, Sinbad was so excited that his eyes lit up, and he immediately patted his chest to promise that he would hurry up to train, and he would definitely come up with an excellent naval fleet at that time. Never disappoint Your Majesty!
Yunero encouraged him well, and then went to Panda.
"Help me find another sailor," he said. "I'm still short of a fleet commander. I don't ask for any gold or purple cards, even if you draw a blue card for a transition. ."
The panda was speechless and asked, "Do you think I am a European? How can it be so easy to find a suitable navigator!"
"I think you're really lucky. You have time to complain to me, so why don't you set out and try it?" Yuneruo said with a smile, "I'm thinking...you will definitely get a lot out of this trip!"
