Chapter 369 (1/2)

Looking at the doubts of the man Dynasty's civil and military affairs and Ying Ji's expectation and encouragement, Bismarck knew that he could no longer be so silent.

Only by dispelling the doubts of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and gaining the respect of the civil and military officials, can the emperor's decision be shown to be correct and his own value can be highlighted.

So Bismarck, a blonde and blue eyed man of European Germanic origin, was also the first non Chinese person in the Empire to be the head of such an important authority.

And a mouth is not barbarian, but a fluent Chinese accent blurted out.

”Your Majesty, ministers, Bismarck believes that you all know something about the ocean.”

”In the ocean, there are countless huge resources, and also a necessary way to all parts of the world!”

”Only by developing the Navy and controlling the sea can we connect the scattered fragments of the world and promote the formation of the trend of globalization. This will bring great benefits and no harm to the Empire, which has a huge amount of resources but a serious shortage of resources per capita.”

”What's more, the land area accounts for only 21% of the earth's area, and the ocean area accounts for 79% of the whole earth's area.”

”Therefore, among the major forces on the earth, as long as the first one has an invincible Navy and an invincible ocean fleet, the one who controls the ocean will control the world.”

”The surrounding areas of the Empire have been almost completely controlled by the Empire.”

”But outside the Empire, on the distant continent of Europa, or even the whole world?”

”As far as I know, on the continent of Europa today, take the civilization of Athens city-state, which is second only to the Empire, as an example.”

”Athens city-state has a small civilization and few people, but its territory is close to the sea on several sides. Therefore, it also has a powerful navy with more than 200 large and small ships. Its maritime combat capability is far higher than that of today's empire with almost zero control over the sea.”

”What's more, the future goal of the empire is the universe, among which there is definitely a plane world with ocean area as the earth.”

”At that time, an empire with a strong navy will be able to gain control of the sea in that kind of World War, and gradually take the initiative in the war, so as to guide the war and even seize the whole world.”

”The range of operations of the army is limited, and it is impossible to replace the operational functions of the Navy and possess the unique nature of the Navy. ”

” therefore, it is urgent to build an Imperial Navy. It is better to put it on the agenda now, but it is better today. ”

At the end of the day, Bismarck could hardly hide his eagerness to build a navy.

No one in the Empire could match Bismarck in his understanding of the importance of the sea and sea power and his love for the Navy.

Silence, silence like death!

After Bismarck's words, all the civil and military personnel in the whole dynasty were shocked and silent. The quiet needle dropping could be heard in the court and the public. Every imperial minister was thinking about Bismarck's words.

They are not idiots. Although the ancients thought more traditional and focused on land, they still learned from the knowledge crystal. Naturally, they knew that in the world, the sea area occupied the largest part, and the land area was less than half of the ocean area.

So they can understand that Bismarck's words are true.

Only now did they realize that it was so important for the Empire to have a strong navy.

No, it is very important not only for the Empire, but also for any coastal force to have a strong marine power.

Even the most important thing that can be regarded as the vein of life is not excessive and irreplaceable.

”Minister Sun Wu - support Mr. Bismarck as Minister of the Navy!”

”Minister Jiang Shang - support Mr. Bismarck as Minister of the Navy!”
