Chapter 2694: Change of Route of Navigation Along the Island
Everyone stayed here for a day and then went back. It was just two days before the supply of Haizhou’s ships was almost finished.
The cruise ship and yacht followed the supply, and consumed some oil when going to the Governor’s Office.
The sailboat had set sail in advance, and they needed to supply the fleet along the way to the Philippines.
One was oil, one was coal, and one was fresh water.
After the supply, they wandered around, exchanged things with others, and maintained the safety of ships on the sea.
The whole route was about 2,000 kilometers, and there was a big difference between supplying and not supplying.
The tribal leaders and other ministers there also had to go back. The leader’s wounds from the snake bite were completely healed, and he also learned a lot of knowledge.
He was the official of the Tang Dynasty there, and the Tang Dynasty also sent officials to help him manage the place.
A team of 104 different ships set off there at cruising speed, 2,000 kilometers, two days.
This time, we didn’t take the northern route. Going there directly into the Pacific warm current was fast.
First go upstream for a distance, and then adjust the position after reaching the Philippines. Going upstream along the equator is also downstream.
Two days later, a group of officials went down, including the local tribal leaders and the "important officials" brought back by the leaders who no longer wanted to seize power.
The fleet was replenished and sailed diagonally downward from here. The lower part on the map was southeast.
It would arrive in Papua New Guinea, close to the big island below. There was a telegram received there, and the coal was loaded and transported to the place to supply the steam engine ship.
The yacht was still in the front, responsible for sonar detection. The three cruise ships sailed in a V-shaped formation, and the other steam engines were around.
Drones flew around in the sky, and the sea breeze blew on the deck.
"This is my Tang Dynasty, huh? It's Tang Dynasty!" Li Longji felt like crying.
There was not a single sail in the entire fleet, only the flags were fluttering in the wind.
"Brother San, make do with it. I can't exchange more things here. It's meaningless.
If we don't go out to play, why should we exchange the cruise ship? It's just more comfortable and relatively safe.
The Tang Dynasty must rely on its own capabilities to develop. You can't expect me to exchange it."
Li Yi enjoys the cruise ship. If there is a war, he will not send it out. There are other ships.
The Tang Navy has exercises. At present, there are ships, weapons, and tactics from all over the world.
Change your mind. If you are the king of a small country and want to attack the Tang Dynasty's ships, what methods should you take?
It's very unfair, which can be reflected in the sand table exercise.
Every captain and general on the ship must accept this training and regard themselves as the opponent.
The key is that they also understand the performance of their own ships and the combat effectiveness of the fleet.
In this case, think about how to turn the tables.
When the blue side fights against the red side representing the Tang Dynasty, you have to rack your brains to calculate, including paying a certain price to lead the opponent into the river and other places.
The red and blue sides alternate back and forth, and the tactics they adopt are crazy.
In the end, when the Tang Fleet wanted to attack a small place, they were very cautious.
Because the opponent was not the natives, but the commander of the Tang Fleet like themselves.
After playing so many times, if they were still fooled by the natives, it proved that the generals were not qualified.
When they were fighting, they even used smoke to release smoke in the wind direction, and then the small boats attacked under the cover of smoke or natural fog.
Including climbing tools and pouring cooking oil on the sea surface to ignite the fire, regardless of the cost, anyway, it can be successful in theory, so they took it out and used it.
The natives didn't think about how to fight back in such a situation, but the Tang Navy thought of it themselves.
After a day and a half, the team reached the last real supply point, Papua New Guinea.
This place also belonged to the Tang Dynasty. The local people agreed, and they launched a landlord activity to take down the ruling class.
What the Tang army did was to fight the local tyrants and divide the land.
The local people took the initiative to send fresh water, and everyone had a Tang flag on their clothes on their chests.
They have no faith, they listen to whoever is stronger, and they listen to whoever is stronger and gives them good things.
The people are not thinking about pursuing material things, they are longing for a better life.
"This place also belongs to the Tang Dynasty?" Song Jing frowned: "Why didn't you send a telegram in advance?"
He knew that it was the work of the Yulin Flying Cavalry and others who stayed on the big island before. Each of the Yulin Flying Cavalry can be a county magistrate.
How could a group of Yulin Flying Cavalry not take the opportunity to expand their sphere of influence?
They should report before the expansion, and even more during the expansion. After the expansion, the territory of the Tang Dynasty has increased. You don't say anything, and want independence?
"I said it, I said it." The generals of the Yulin Flying Cavalry ignored Song Jing.
Li Longji told Song Jing, yes, it was before, I was too busy and forgot to tell you.
Song Jing: "..."
He could only be depressed by himself, yes, the Yulin Flying Cavalry was not responsible for him.
When someone from the Imperial Guards, the Recruiting Army, or the Li Family Manor reported to him alone, it meant that someone would die. If the person who reported died, he would die too.
He was not Li Yi, so he looked at Li Yi again.
Li Yi showed an innocent expression: "I should have sent my own people to UU Reading www.uukanshu.net read, Third Brother, don't always hide it from the Prime Ministers!"
"No, no, it's not true, Xiao Yi, don't talk nonsense."
Song Jing was scared, you played dumb with me, I don't believe you don't understand the situation.
"It's just a surprise for you gentlemen, there's more to come."
Li Longji was all smiles. Are you surprised? My imperial guards are so awesome.
I didn't tell Brother Yi when the telegram came back, and your little robot didn't remind you. Brother Yi... I promise I didn't know. If you don't believe me, just look at his expression.
Li Yi looked shocked: "Oh! That's it!"
The little robot 033 turned his head away and didn't want to look anymore. It was too hypocritical. I told you when the telegram came.
"Hahahaha..." Bi Gou looked at 033 and laughed, very happily.
The others looked at him and laughed too, instantly forgetting that they were not well-informed.
It's normal not to give you information! Unless there are special circumstances, why should this telegraph system connect with your ministers?
The little robot couldn't remind you. The little robot around him was also responsible for collecting your intelligence. In other words, it's called a spy.
All officials and their families living in Li's manor are devoted to His Majesty, and none of them have second thoughts.
"Let's have barbecue. Barbecue can bring people closer together."
Li Yi led everyone down to eat and drink with the local people.
Grilled frozen mutton skewers. The locals don’t lack fish, so they don’t grill fish.
They have never eaten mutton, and the Yulin Flying Cavalry and others don’t bring canned mutton.
Usually they bring pork and chicken, and rabbit meat. Canned mutton tastes bad, but people don’t like it, so they don’t want it.
There are sheep here, and more sheep will be sent here. There will be many opportunities to eat mutton in the future.
