Chapter 344: The warship, it can't go ashore!

It's no wonder they were so excited; according to what His Majesty said in the letter,

as long as the navy could successfully occupy these few gold and silver mountains, they would be given a five percent dividend for the navy afterwards.

Although this five percent dividend had to first be returned to the national treasury and then allocated to their navy from the national treasury,

which had to pass through several hands of the Secretariat to become part of their navy's military expenditure,

instead of going directly into their navy, it was still a large figure of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver a year,

enough for their navy to build several more new-style warships.

Regarding this, these navy generals had no dissatisfaction,

after all, you now have power and are leading troops,

and you still want to have a private independent small treasury; what exactly do you want to do?

Could it be that you want to learn from those military governors of the late Tang and Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms who held power,

money, and troops, and finally coveted positions they shouldn't covet?

Not to mention whether anyone had this rebellious heart, they all agreed that no one had this ability.

The founding monarch of the Great Gan was still in his prime, and living at least another forty years was not a problem.

Who dared to have such rebellious little thoughts in their hearts and dare to put them into action? Did they really think the Son of Heaven couldn't draw his sword?

The Great Song and Great Liao were not high-minded and willing to sacrifice themselves for the establishment of the Great Gan!

The Emperor Tianzuo of the Great Liao, who sat on seven hundred thousand troops, was even less willing to come to the Great Gan for a southern hunt!

"If you gentlemen can have such a heart of loyalty to the monarch and the country, I believe His Majesty will be very gratified when he knows."

"The decree has been announced, I will take my leave now."

After exchanging a few casual pleasantries, Li Dequan, having finished his work, rose to take his leave.

As the Grand Superintendent of the Inner Court, his affairs were truly numerous, and he was often so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground.

However, these busyness made this little eunuch who climbed up from a poor peasant family feel sweet.

Only in this way did he feel that he was still alive and still a person.

"Eunuch Li, walk slowly."

A group of navy high-ranking officers led by Ruan Xiao Wu sent Li Dequan away with glowing faces.

After sending Li Dequan away, the navy high-ranking officers held a small meeting themselves.

"Order all units of our navy to sharpen weapons and feed horses; whoever dares to be slack,

this Commander will definitely punish them severely, do you understand?!"

Ruan Xiao Wu, who was always smiling and lenient with others, warned the other navy high-ranking officers with a stern voice.

"We understand!"

The navy high-ranking officers, who also knew the seriousness of the matter, had no objections and all responded solemnly with murderous intent.

This battle was their navy's battle for a foothold; whoever dared to drag their feet,

or slack off, causing this battle to fail, would be the sinner of their navy!

Without anyone else doing it, they themselves could tear these people apart and eat them alive!

With one instruction from the Five Armies Governor's Office, the entire Great Gan navy boiled over.

Every navy soldier was rubbing their hands and shouting to teach the bold Wa-Slave State a lesson.

One by one, new-style warships equipped with steam engines sailed out of the dockyards and began training in full swing.

The sounds of training shells being fired, falling, and exploding echoed throughout the navy station.

However, these were all for show. Under Zhang Jie's transfer order,

the Great Gan Navy's most elite First Fleet began to sail out to sea for a month of long-distance training.

Zhang Jie didn't want the lesson of the Great Yuan failing because of the Wa-Slave State's so-called Divine Wind to happen to himself.

Well, this was actually also because the Mongols were really not good at water warfare.

The 21st-century Great Mongols Navy's seven people and one ship

Seven Warlords of the Sea provided a lot of jokes for the vast number of netizens.

Time passed slowly, and although the expedition to the Wa-Slave State caused a stir in the navy, it was limited to the navy.

The army said that they had even destroyed the Great Liao, which had been suppressing the Central Plains dynasties for over a hundred years,

made the Later Jin's Shi Jingtang so fearful that he even called himself a son-emperor,

and made the Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi get hit in the butt by an arrow, having to transform into the god of donkey-cart drifting,

let alone a small island Wa-Slave State that was isolated overseas and lived in a corner?

It was just that the cavalry couldn't go to sea, otherwise they guaranteed that with just one charge,

they would teach the Wa-Slave State Emperor who didn't know what was good for him to kneel at the feet of their Great Gan Son of Heaven and sing "Conquer".

Regarding this, the navy was also holding their breath, wanting to fight this battle beautifully,

and teach the army that their navy was also one of the Great Gan's three armies worthy of the name!

Zhang Jie also smiled and let it pass after knowing about the secret competition between the army and the navy.

Competition is good; only with competition is there motivation to move forward.

If there are no hostile countries or foreign troubles outside, and no legalist ministers inside, the country will always perish.

As long as it doesn't develop into the situation where the navy and army of the island country during World War II looked at each other with disdain,

even the direction of the screws had to be opposite, and the same identical airplane blueprints had to be bought separately.

However, with him, a boss whose prestige and strength far exceeded the Wa-Slave State Emperor, pressing down on the top,

and coupled with the fact that the Great Gan navy and army didn't have the estrangement or even hatred that the island country's army and navy had since the shogunate period,

the relationship between the Great Gan navy and army wouldn't develop to such a point

where even if their own interests were damaged, they would make the other side feel bad.

Now it seems that the competition between the Great Gan's three armies is still benign,

and all three sides are thinking of making greater achievements, fighting greater military merits,

and striving for more interests for the Great Gan to surpass the other side.

……

"Not acting like a human, those guys in the army are really not acting like humans!"

At the navy station, the hot-tempered Ruan Xiao Qi was cursing.

These days, they said they were rubbing their hands, and the army didn't say they were mocking,

but that look of standing on the high bank and watching the fun really made him angry.

"The army is indeed not acting like humans, but we navy still have to ask for their help later."

Navy boss Ruan Xiao Wu was rubbing his head in great distress.

"How can our navy ask for help from those guys?

I wish I would never see them again in this life!"

Ruan Xiao Qi felt a rush of anger whenever he thought of the army's triumphant look.

"Seven, General Seven, our navy's warships can't go up to the Wa-Slave State's islands."

A voice with a hint of hesitation entered the angry Ruan Xiao Qi's ears.

"Ga…"

Ruan Xiao Qi instantly became like a duck whose throat of fate was gripped,

and the complaints in his mouth were swallowed back into his stomach.

Just like the White Streak in the Waves, Zhang Shun, who interrupted, said, no matter how powerful his navy was,

no matter how many cannons could blast other countries' warships into wooden coffins floating on the sea,

but these warships, they, they couldn't fly, nor could they sail on dry land, they couldn't go ashore!

As long as the enemy dived into the fortresses on land or the deep mountains and old forests,

these navy soldiers could only stare blankly at the sea.

"Army, our navy must also have our own assault army!

Yes, just call it the Marine Corps that His Majesty once mentioned!"

The angry Ruan Xiao Qi slapped the table and stood up, speaking passionately.

It was also hard for him; under the huge stimulation of the army,

he even remembered the Marine Corps that Zhang Jie had mentioned casually at a military meeting. ===== CHAPTER 345 =====
