Chapter 418: Dock Site Selection
On the bank of Yuanjiang River, Gan Ning looked at the original location of the water village and sighed:
"Brother Su Fei, do you think we should thank Cai Mao?"
"What do you mean by the general? This thief forced us to destroy our own warships and burn the water camp, which made the navy embarrassed in Yizhou. We still couldn't raise our heads. Brother, I wish I could suck him and peel him off!"
Su Fei didn't understand Gan Ning's meaning and his tone was quite angry.
The most embarrassing thing about the navy was that battle. Su Fei didn't know how Gan Ning brought up the old story again.
"Brother, don't be angry! Listen to me first, hahaha..."
Before Gan Ning could tell what was going on, she laughed so happily. Su Fei had no choice but to continue asking:
"General, don't keep it a secret. Say anything quickly."
"I just received the order from my lord that we asked the navy to choose a site to build a dock. The warship model has been successfully entered into the water. After the dock is built, the lord will send craftsmen to build a warship for us!"
"really?"
Su Fei widened his eyes and seemed a little excited. The warship model had already entered the water, which means there was no big problem with the design of the warship. The days when the navy was laughed at were finally over.
"Will I still lie to you? The lord said, find a better place to hide, with moderate water depth, it is best to be easy to defend but difficult to attack! Originally, this place is the most suitable, but unfortunately it is now a ruin."
Gan Ning looked at everything in front of him, and the best address was here. Most of the conditions mentioned by Wu Shun were met. However, this place had been captured by the Jingzhou navy and had no concealment.
"The lord didn't say that it could not be rebuilt here, by the way, is the dock?"
After talking for a long time, Su Fei still didn't understand what the dock was for.
"The dock is just a place to build warships and repair warships. This dock must be built large. I heard that the battleship designed by the lord himself is larger than the tower ship. The dock is smaller and cannot be installed! Look, there are also dock drawings sent by the weapon workshop here."
Gan Ning carefully took out a drawing from his arms and regarded it as a treasure.
"Haha, our navy also has weapons designed by the lord. It's great!"
Su Fei has always envied the White Tiger Camp and the Green Dragon Cavalry because they have weapons and equipment designed by Wu Shun and his hard training, they are invincible and unstoppable on the battlefield.
"When the warship is completed, I, Gan Xingba, must Cai Mao know who is the number one navy in the world."
Gan Ning did not have the drawings of the warship, but he had heard of the appearance of the warship. It was the invincible warship in his mind.
It is said that Wu Shun once wanted to modify the catapult cart and install it on a warship. In the end, considering that the water surface is not as good as the land, he gave up.
In fact, Wu Shun’s real idea was to put the cannon on the warship and would blow him up anyone who didn’t like him. But with the current iron-making level, Wu Shun was afraid of explosions. Of course, Wu Shun did not reveal these things to the outside.
After inspecting many river sections in Wuling County, Ganning and Su Fei still found no address suitable for building the dock.
The original water village address is good and land transportation is convenient. It requires shipbuilding supplies and can be transported quickly.
"Su Fei, according to my opinion, the dock will be built here. Let the lord put pressure on Jingzhou so that Cai Mao dare not offend me Lin Yuan."
Finally, Gan Ning decided to build a dock in the old place.
"But General, if Cai Mao Shuo River comes up, we don't have warships, we can't stop it."
Su Fei expressed his worries. Cai Mao is a powerful figure in Jingzhou. If he had the chance, he would probably violate Liu Biao's orders.
"Brother Su Fei, you forgot that Liu Biao invaded Linyuan and suffered losses, even Yidu County was captured by General Dongfang. If you come again, you can attack Changsha or even Xiangyang next time, which will scare him to death!"
The strength of the Wuling Army gave Gan Ning the confidence to build a new water village on the old site. With Dongfang Qiang in Yidu County and giving Liu Biao a few courages, he did not dare to run away from Linyuan to play wildly.
If it really comes over, Dongfangqiang will directly merge into Xiangyang, who will suffer a loss?
"If you are not afraid of ten thousand, you are afraid of something. General. Moreover, our navy has no warships now, like the cavalry without war horses and the White Tiger Camp has no armor. If Cai Mao goes crazy, once we fight, we will not be able to resist. If the dock is halfway through and Cai Mao comes, will we do it in vain?"
Although Dongfang Qiang has strong deterrence, it is difficult to guarantee that Cai Mao will not do anything randomly. Su Fei’s worries are right.
"Then it will be troublesome to choose the dock."
After hearing Su Fei's words, Gan Ning felt it was reasonable. People had warships and came and went freely. When you got halfway, they would destroy them. The work you had done before was gone.
Even if Wu Shun asked Dongfangqiang to take revenge afterwards, it would be difficult to recover the losses. Such things cannot be defined by whoever suffers or whoever takes advantage of them.
"Why would you like to ask your lord."
Finally, Su Fei felt that he would let his lord Wu Shun decide.
"Okay, let's report the situation to Chengdu and ask the lord to decide."
Gan Ning agreed with Su Fei's opinion.
Two days later, the problem of the location of the navy dock reached Chengdu and appeared on Wu Shun's case.
"Qua, go and call Kong Ming and Xiaozhi."
Wu Shun's voice came from the study.
"I'll go here."
Wu Shun summoned two military advisors, and there must be something big, so Qu A dared not delay.
When Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng were both surprised when they saw Qu Alai passing the order. The lord who had not been inquiring about government affairs for thousands of years actually knew to look for them.
"Lord, is there something important to come to Xiaozhi and me?"
In the study, Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and said slowly.
"The lord won't discuss it with us for ordinary trivial matters."
Fazheng continued.
When attacking Yidu County, Wu Shun made a speech with them, and did not discuss any details at all, so he directly asked the Dongfang to counterattack.
That is, the Wuling Army is powerful, and you can take over Yidu County if you fight casually. If it were other troops, it would be strange if Wu Shun was not involved in the destruction.
"Oh, Xiaozhi's aura has not yet subsided? Well, there is a small matter in the war in Yidu County, just a little punishment for Liu Biao. How can we need our Yizhou military advisor to take action? Tell you, you can't give it too much to Liu Pingzi. Look, even Liu Biao can't stop him."
Seeing that Fa Zheng was still venting his dissatisfaction, Wu Shun knew that he was in the wrong, so he comforted him again. In fact, Fa Zheng was already used to Wu Shun's way of dealing with things. He just wanted Wu Shun to give them the opportunity to analyze the pros and cons when encountering big things.
Everyone wants Yizhou to become stronger and stronger!
"This is from Gan Ning from Linyuan. There is a risk in choosing a dock site. I hope I can listen to the opinions of the military advisor."
Wu Shun handed the news sent by Gan Ning to Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng.
"Lord, General Gan Ning's meaning is probably not asking, but wanting the lord to make a decision."
After reading the news from Gan Ning, Zhuge Liang analyzed.
"Oh? What decision does Gan Ning want me to make?"
Wu Shun asked.
There was a problem with the location selection, and the address you liked was exposed and it was not concealed. The new address was not satisfactory. Wu Shun didn't see what Gan Ning wanted to express.
"Lord, General Gan Ning is more inclined to build a dock at the former site. He may be worried that the Jingzhou navy is restless, so he wants to ask the lord to put some pressure on Liu Biao to ensure that the dock can be successfully built and put into use."
This time he answered Fa Zheng. He also saw what Gan Ning wanted to express.
The best address is the former site of Shuizhai. The only flaw is that the Jingzhou Army already knows that it can come to "inspect the work" at any time.
"Since that's the case, then build a dock at the old site! Order Dongfangqiang to enter Yidao County and take care of Yidu and Wuling counties at the same time!"
"The lord is wise!"
Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng had no objection to Wu Shun's decision. With Dongfang Qiang on the side, the navy did not dare to enter Wuling County easily.
Chapter completed!
