Chapter 1127 The Great War Will Begin

Shanhai City, Summer Palace.

In the imperial study room, Ouyang Shuo had just communicated with Jiang Shang about the new round of civil servant adjustment plan. With the establishment of the Liao and Jin provinces and the promotion of Huo Guang and Han Qi as governors, the vacated county guards will naturally need to be filled.

The layout of personnel often affects the whole body.

The adjustment list drawn up by the cabinet basically meets Ouyang Shuo's requirements and has just been approved. In Ouyang Shuo's eyes, it doesn't mean that historical talents must be better than the native NPCs cultivated by Daxia.

There are some diehards, even pedantic ones, people who are unrepentant from the past, no matter how famous they are, Ouyang Shuo will not put them in key positions like county guards, but classify them as idle positions.

"Emphasis on talent rather than name, only on talent."

The "talent" here does not refer to scholarly talent, but talent.

After talking about the business, Ouyang Shuo took a sip of the freshly brewed pekoe tea and said with a smile, "As expected, the Silver Hand is still as proud as ever, and has no intention of stopping."

Ouyang Shuo is not a fool, how could he hope that if he hits the Dawson Dynasty, the other party will be obedient. Not to mention the Silver Hand, Dichen and the others have been fighting with Daxia for four or five years, and until now, haven't they still been fighting high, thinking about how to turn the tables? !

Ouyang Shuo has long experienced the tenacity of the aristocratic family.

As the game is about halfway through, Daxia is about to enter the second half, and Ouyang Shuo's opponent has also changed from [Yanhuang League] to the stronger, more advantageous, and more difficult Silver Hand.

"Fight, victory comes from fighting." Ouyang Shuo was used to it.

Jiang Shang on the opposite side took the conversation and said with a smile: "It's normal for the other party not to stop. As long as they don't focus on us, it's considered a victory."

Jiang Shang is obviously deeply immersed in the philosophy of struggle.

"It's just that in this way, the life of the Atlantic Fleet may be difficult!" Ouyang Shuo was a little worried.

TWP has created a "maritime joint escort" drama. The Pacific and Indian Oceans that have just stabilized do not see any risks for the time being. The Atlantic Fleet, which has been in the whirlpool, has suddenly become difficult.

In the Atlantic Ocean, the most powerful fleets of TWP are swimming in this sea area. Once they join forces, there will be very little room for the Atlantic Fleet to play.

In addition, the Atlantic Fleet only has two very close naval bases in Morocco and the port of Gibraltar, and it is difficult to supply, which further limits the fleet's roaming in a wider range.

"The imperial court needs to support the Atlantic Fleet." Ouyang Shuo made up his mind, and looked at Jiang Shang, "The cabinet will coordinate with the Finance Department to squeeze out seven million gold coins to equip the Atlantic Fleet with a submarine fleet!"

Although Daxia has mastered the magic-powered submarine manufacturing technology, with the current industrial level, it is still unable to independently build such high-tech ships, and can only purchase them from the city of Lemuria.

"it is good!"

Although the imperial court continued to support the construction of Maldives County, Hawaii County, and Liaojin Province, the finances were a little tight, but Jiang Shang readily agreed.

When it comes to the grand strategy of the dynasty, if the finances should bite the bullet, they have to bite the bullet.

…………

On November 2nd, Ouyang Shuo made a special trip to the camp of the imperial guards to visit the soldiers who had returned from victory.

The imperial guards are worthy of the title of "Dynasty Sword". Whenever there is a big battle in the imperial court, the imperial guards can always be seen charging forward. In the recent period of time alone, they have successively participated in the Battle of Annan, the Battle of Koryo, and the Battle of Extermination of Gold.

Every time, Ouyang Shuo was not disappointed.

A week ago, after making up for the battle damage, the imperial guards had withdrawn from the Liaojin Province and returned to Shanhai City to rest. Ouyang Shuo specially decreed that the soldiers were allowed five days off, and let them go home to visit their relatives.

Such honors are rare.

The families of the officers and soldiers of the imperial guards have also been arranged to live in Shanhai City by the Privy Council one after another, and they have become a group of people living at the feet of the emperor, eating the emperor's food, and living a very comfortable life.

This is the only way to win the Imperial Guard's unconditional allegiance to the dynasty and to Ouyang Shuo. In Ouyang Shuo's words, "The imperial guards are the soldiers of Da Xia."

Yesterday, the soldiers had finished their vacation and returned to the camp to resume their daily training.

Ouyang Shuo's visit this time is both condolences and mobilization, because before the arrival of Gaia six years ago, the imperial court still had a tough battle to fight, and that was the Battle of Luzon.

This is a tough bone that is harder than Annan.

Not only did Lu Bu have 800,000 imperial guards, but it was foreseeable that if Daxia attacked Luzon in an all-round way, Java would not stand idly by, and would definitely step in.

Both are members of the TWP, and they just responded to the request for "joint escort at sea", so they might be connected. It is even said that even the trembling Australian region may be involved.

Therefore, the battle of Luzon is not a simple battle between the two sides, but may be a big melee.

Naturally, it cannot be done with the Longxiang Army alone.

The imperial guards, who had just rested for two days, were afraid that they would embark on a new journey soon.

…………

After leaving the camp of the imperial guards, Ouyang Shuo went to meet another person.

It has been a while since Nimitz, the former Admiral of the Freedom Fleet of the Dawson Dynasty, was escorted to Beijing. Ouyang Shuo has never had time to meet this legendary figure alone.

Nimitz was very arrogant. According to Du Ruhui, the Minister of Military Affairs who was in charge of persuading him to surrender, he was extremely uncooperative and refused to serve in the Great Xia Army at all, and even threatened him with a hunger strike.

As a result, Ouyang Shuo wanted to see him even more. There is no reason to say that after finally capturing an excellent admiral, it is just a display.

The meeting place was chosen in the prison room of the Privy Council.

Because Nimitz is very special, and Ouyang Shuo specially ordered that even if he is detained, his living conditions are still very good, he doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, and he can move around freely in the yard.

When Ouyang Shuo came, Nimitz was sitting in the yard, basking in the sun leisurely while reading a thread-bound book with great interest.

With the help of Gaia's automatic translation system, Nimitz has no obstacles in reading Chinese books.

The guard in charge saw Ouyang Shuo and was about to salute, but was stopped by Ouyang Shuo, and quietly came to him. Ding Qing saw that Nimitz was reading "The Art of War".

"The general thinks that "Sun Tzu's Art of War" has merits in naval warfare?" Ouyang Shuo asked.

"Who?!"

Only then did Nimitz become alert and looked up.

"Presumptuous, when you see your majesty, don't be rude!" Xu Chu shouted.

Nimitz was even more surprised. He stood up, took a step back unconsciously, looked at Ouyang Shuo in surprise, and then saluted reluctantly.

Ouyang Shuo smiled and said, "The general hasn't answered my question yet."

Nimitz came to his senses and avoided answering, "I will not serve in the Great Xia Army!"

"I don't think so!"

Now that Ouyang Shuo is here, he is sure to convince Nimitz.
