Chapter 1113: Suggestions From the Fireworks Monster

September 27th, Shanhai City.

Admiral of the Indian Ocean Fleet Admiral Pyrotechnics, and Admiral Alvaro of the Atlantic Fleet went to Beijing to discuss matters under the imperial edict. Along with the two generals came to the Summer Palace, as well as Admiral Zheng He of the Navy.

Zhang Liang, a senior scholar in the palm of the Zizheng Pavilion, attended the military meeting.

In the imperial study room, Ouyang Shuo looked very happy, smiled and said to the two generals, Firework Demon and Álvaro, "Sit down, you two guard a sea area for the court, you are both great heroes of the dynasty."

Alvaro, as an experienced veteran and familiar with the waters around the Mediterranean Sea, is quite comfortable leading the fleet in the Atlantic Ocean.

It's just that Alvaro is also walking on thin ice when he has to deal with the lords with different ideas in the Mediterranean Sea and the threat of Jack's fleet of the Dawson Dynasty.

The fastest growing one is the pyrotechnic evildoer.

The only foreign naval general in the Great Xia, in the short three years since he joined the Great Xia, he has grown step by step from the commander-in-chief to the admiral of the navy, guarding one side of the sea for the dynasty.

The original youthfulness has long since disappeared.

Instead, there are dark cheeks that have been ravaged by sea wind and scorching sun, a face of fortitude, a more calm demeanor and more pure military command ability.

Especially after Huang Gai joined the Indian Ocean Fleet, the pyrotechnic evildoer grew rapidly, changing day by day, bringing his personal talents and unique strengths to the extreme one by one.

Today, Yan Huo is a qualified naval admiral.

"Dare not to be praised by the king!"

To be so affirmed by the king, the two generals seemed a little excited.

The mood of the firework monster is even more complicated. He is very grateful, thankful for the choice three years ago, let go of the pride of the lord, and resolutely joined the Shanhai City camp at that time.

Back then, Shanhai City had just carefully stepped out of the Lianzhou Basin, and it was still a small spot in the southwestern border, only a county in size. In just three years, the territorial territory has expanded by more than twenty or thirty times.

And his pyrotechnic evildoer, from a small lord at the beginning, has become a giant in one fell swoop.

In contrast, the lords of Leizhou County back then had long since disappeared from everyone, and the best one was just the president of a small chamber of commerce in Wangcheng.

Ouyang Shuo didn't hurry to get into the topic, but chatted with the two generals about some interesting things about the fleet with great interest. With the increasing size of the Great Xia army, Ouyang Shuo had no time to patrol the various ministries from time to time.

Especially for those guarding the far sea like the Atlantic Fleet, they have even less contact. Usually, we can only get a general understanding of the fleet's operations and training through the fleet's routine reports.

The newly promoted naval officers of the five major fleets in the past two years didn't even have the chance to meet Ouyang Shuo, the king, let alone get to know him well.

"This is bad!"

Ouyang Shuo has made up his mind, he must spare some time to go down to the counties, counties and various departments of the army to inspect, otherwise, he will really break away from the masses and become a "blind person".

After chatting for a full hour, Ouyang Shuo finally said: "Both of you are talking about how to make up for the shortcomings in the great route to minimize the adverse effects that will be caused by TWP."

"Pyrotechnic evildoer, you come first!" Ouyang Shuo started pointing.

Hearing this, the pyrotechnic evildoer was not stage-frightened, so he got up calmly, cupped his fists and said, "Before explaining the proposal, I will finally ask the king for my sin!" After staying in the army for a long time, the pyrotechnic evildoer also behaves with restraint.

"What's the crime?" Ouyang Shuo was a little surprised.

"The Lion Kingdom is located in the jurisdiction of the Indian Ocean Fleet. This time, it suddenly became part of the Maurya Dynasty. The last admiral, as the admiral of the fleet, didn't realize it beforehand. It was the last admiral's dereliction of duty, and he was willing to accept the punishment."

Hearing this, Ouyang Shuo pondered for a while, and said, "You are indeed negligent in this matter, if so, then fine you half a year's salary as a warning!" The military has always distinguished rewards and punishments, so naturally Ouyang Shuo would not break the rules.

"promise!"

The pyrotechnic evildoer voluntarily accepts punishment, if he is not punished, he will not be able to stand up.

"Punishment is fine. Tell me your suggestion. In your opinion, is it feasible to attack the Lion Kingdom?" Ouyang Shuo took this matter lightly.

And even if it is detected in advance that the Maurya Dynasty has planned for a long time, it may not help.

The attitude of the pyrotechnic evildoer is very clear, "My lord, the last general does not agree to attack the Lion Kingdom now. Whether it is the timing or the conditions of the battle, they are still immature. It is inappropriate to attack rashly."

"In your opinion, how to solve the supply problem of the fleet and merchant ships in the Indian Ocean?"

Hearing the words, the firework monster quickly walked to the front of the world map, pointed to a piece of sea area in the Indian Ocean, at the bottom left of Tianzhu, and said, "Your Majesty, please look here!"

Ouyang Shuo frowned, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, as if something flashed through his mind, but he couldn't remember what was so special about this place.

Seeing this, Zhang Liang asked aloud, "It's a blank sea, is there anything special about it?"

Fireworks evildoer smiled and explained: "Elder Ge doesn't know something. Although the map is blank, in fact, this place is called Maldives. It is composed of more than 1,200 small coral islands, and it is also a small country."

"I see!"

Only then did Ouyang Shuo suddenly understand why this place looks so familiar.

Coral islands in the Maldives are like stars falling into the sea. Compared with the vast ocean, they are almost like dust. Naturally, the map surveyors of Daxia did not mark them.

The pyrotechnic evildoer leads his troops to patrol the Indian Ocean all the year round, but he is very familiar with this place.

At this point, Ouyang Shuo had gradually comprehended the evil spirit's intentions, his eyes lit up, and he said, "You mean, before the Maurya Dynasty notices this place, quickly take down the Maldives, replace the Kingdom of Lions, and serve as a place on the Indian Ocean. A supply point?"

"Your Majesty, Shengming!" The firework monster nodded.

"That's a good idea!"

In the reality of the Maldives, most of the islands and reefs are too small to be suitable for human habitation. Among the more than 1,200 islands and reefs, only 202 islands are inhabited.

Because the land is barren and the land area is limited, the agriculture and animal husbandry in the Maldives are not very developed, and even the fresh water supply is sometimes in short supply, which needs to be recruited from other countries.

Such a small country is not suitable as a shipping center for ocean trade.

The game world is different.

After the map is expanded ten times, the Maldives is fully capable of supporting a supply center to provide fresh water, vegetables, meat and other supplies to passing ships, as well as ship maintenance and other services.

Moreover, the Maldives is designated as a game area by Gaia alone, and there is a royal city. Since there is a royal city, there is also a teleportation array, so it is absolutely possible to get the support of Shanhai City.

"The pyrotechnic evildoer obeys orders!" Ouyang Shuo made up his mind.
