Chapter 748 (1/2)
Captain Lena nodded, ”the original advantage of the big Bay Islands has become its disadvantage. The enemy's fleet is within our reach. If we stay here one more day, we will be beaten one more day. Now all the ports and shipyards are destroyed, so giving up here has become a choice. Don't forget our origin. The island has never been our root, it's just our rest The rest place is the ship and the fleet. As long as the ship is there and the fleet is there, the East China Sea will still be there, and our third fleet will be there! ”
Several old officials of Donghai state nodded in secret. The analysis of Captain Lena was absolutely pertinent in the current situation. However, in view of the extreme embarrassment of King Durbin, no one dared to speak out for her.
Perhaps King Durbin himself was very clear about all the captain Lena had analyzed, but he was not willing to let go of everything in the big Bay Islands and his king's dream.
You can wake up people who are sleeping, but you can't wake people who pretend to be asleep.
Seeing his father's appearance of being eager to speak, Prince Leighton said with great vision: ”Auntie Lena, if we give up the big Bay Islands, what should we do? Can't we go back to the west? Let's not say that when we left, we made public anger. Even if we go back, the territory we used to have was already divided up and our foothold has been lost. ”
”If we go back in time, we will face the same situation as you said.” ”But the situation in the Western sea area is very unique now. Other fleets are involved in the reshuffle of the rights of the new royal family and the witch's secret society. It is the critical moment for the fight for maritime sovereignty. When the whole family is in great need of strength, although our strength has been partially lost, compared with other fleets, we are more interested in black powder Attention and application are still at the forefront and have certain advantages. I believe they will be very happy to see a new force join in. ”
Prince Leighton glanced at Dubin subconsciously and then asked, ”is there any other choice?”
It is better to know a father than a son.
To return to the Western sea is not the best choice for King Durbin.
Better be a chicken head than a cow's tail.
This has always been the ambition of Durbin, and it has been so before.
Not to mention having tasted the taste of the king, and then let him go back to the Western sea and sit on the same level with the other fleet captains, or even be pushed over by them. That's worse than killing him.
”There is another option. We will publish the route map of the southern sea area and fully open the channel. I believe other fleets will be very interested in the eastern sea area and the Donau plain. We will have more opportunities to muddle up the water here.” Captain Lena has another plan.
This time, before Prince Leighton spoke, the captain of the Bree ship shook his head and said, ”now the south sea route map is no longer unique to us, and the bastard shiyamore is also in charge of it. The commander of the eternal night only needs to send out a few warships to set up the magic guns there. At that time, it will only be a repeat of our old experience on the Danube River, unless the whole fleet is deployed together, But as you have just said, the Western sea area is at a critical moment of right reshuffle. They can't draw out the whole fleet. ”
”The last option is to go south and take a chance.” Captain Lena said what he was up to.
”What is a chance?” Not only did stubin not understand, but the others showed signs of perplexity.
”Three months ago, I got a very interesting information from the local aborigines, saying that there is a larger archipelago to the south of the Dawan islands. The people there take the island as their home, their boats as their legs, and the sea as their hunting grounds. His grandmother drifted here in a shipwreck.” Replied the captain of Lena's fleet.
”Have you verified this information?” Asked the captain of the ship Bree in a hurry.
”The verification was conducted by someone, but the ship sent for verification has not come back. I originally waited until this matter was completely confirmed and then reported to your majesty!” ”So we have to take a chance. If we can find a new continent, it may be our turn.”
”The most taboo in ocean exploration is to make a rash decision, especially on a large scale.” Captain Bree said cautiously, ”but Captain Lena's news really brings us another choice. If the commander of Yongye wants to digest the results from our hands, it must take some time. We still have enough time to make preparations and choices. We may as well start from many aspects.”
”In what ways?” Captain Lena handed over the dominance of the words.
”First of all, the information provided by Captain Lena needs to be further verified by sending personnel. It is not only necessary to search for a new continent, but also to explore the situation in the new continent as far as possible. As with the Yongye military leader, the situation of full-scale war without understanding the situation can never happen again.” Bree fleet long road.
”Captain Bree, that's a steady view.”
”The world was bigger than we thought, and it was more magical than we imagined. Our fleet can't stand the second big injury!”
Several other ship captains nodded repeatedly and gave support and affirmation in succession.People's mentality will change with their own situation and circumstances.
Brey was the captain of his own ship in the heyday of his own.
Many people think that his decision-making is too conservative. A man wandering on the sea is a kind of struggle. The greater the risk, the greater the harvest.
It is in this mentality that the Danao plain occupied by the Yongye Army leaders led the expedition.
However, as the strength of the east sea state was damaged, and they could not bear more losses, Captain Bree's cautious proposal immediately became pertinent.
Captain Bree continued, ”but there is too much uncertainty and too much luck in this matter. If the legend about the new world is just a rumor, or the area there is far less than we think, or it is not conducive to our foothold, if we put too much expectation and energy into it, we will be very passive So you have to prepare a second way for yourself.
Safe second way!
That's the Western sea.
After all, we are family with the other fleets, and we know what they do.
As long as we can show our value and provide them with greater benefits, they will certainly accept us again.
Before that, we have to send someone back to pave the road.
Our black powder catapult and the safe passage in the South Sea area are the best stepping stones.
Before they know that there is a super shark in the East Sea area, the safe passage in the South Sea area is of great value.
The key now is to guard the safe passage in the southern sea area.
If it is taken away from us, we will really become the big fish in the pond behind the lake. When people are in a good mood, we will cut meat and cook soup
