Chapter 177 The most important thing in this world
In Xu Xingchen's view, the most important thing in this world is the ship girls themselves.
After obtaining comprehensive technological improvements, gaining absolute advantages in combating the deep sea, and having the strength to develop the ocean, land is no longer very important.
Not to mention other parts of the world, in the archipelago where Xu Xingchen is located, there is still a lot of undeveloped land that can be used for humans and ship girls to reproduce and live outside the Central Islands he occupied, and it is definitely much larger than the entire Central Islands.
Just by simply comparing the current sea areas and simply evaluating the basic natural environment, the Flying Eagle Islands are not very excellent.
After all, the Flying Eagle Islands also have large areas of mountains and the land is very broken.
The Flying Eagle Islands were chosen as the first land to be developed after leaving the Central Islands, just because in traditional concepts, it is relatively safe among the offshore islands that can be reached.
Xu Xingchen only chose the most conservative plan in his first sea-attack operation.
The same is true for the joint fleet and base camp of the Longbow Islands. Just between the Flying Eagle Islands and the Longbow Islands, a large island is hundreds of kilometers north of the north.
The area of this island is larger than the entire Longbow Islands, and two-thirds of them are large plains, and the climate is cooler than that of the Longbow Islands.
However, the commanders and ship girls of the Longbow Islands never used it as a target for development, but because this large island is not safe compared to the Flying Eagle Islands.
Without a large closed internal bay, it cannot be relatively easily lower than the deep-sea tides, so it is naturally excluded from the development targets.
In the southwest direction of the Central Islands, there is also a large island with a large number of low plains, but because it is not "safe" enough, there is no title to develop the first object.
The entire Yunhai Admiral's Office seemed very proactive in seizing the Flying Eagle Islands. In fact, the big reason was that it was because of its instinctive vigilance against Japanese ship girls.
In fact, Xu Xingchen and his own ship girls saw the mentality of the Flying Eagle Islands, which was closer to an attempt.
After the Flying Eagle Islands have completed the offshore development attempt, they must develop the islands with the best conditions.
Developing islands outside the sea requires manpower, and the ship girls are the best staff, grassroots cadres, and almost all-round craftsmen.
So, after Xu Xingchen had learned about the situation of the Longbow Islands, he said to Hirobu Saito according to his thoughts:
"Commander Saito, since the situation in the Longbow Islands is so depressing, why not send a message to your former companions and friends and invite them to the Flying Eagle Islands.
"Of course, the premise is to join our Marshal's Office in the Central Archipelago, and their construction or other actions here will be carried out under the guidance of the Marshal's Office.
“If you bring in enough people to form a scale on the Flying Eagle Islands, I can appoint you as the Chief of Staff who is responsible for managing the Flying Eagle Islands.
"We don't ask the commander to cut off the stomach at all times. After you become our management team, you can't force your subordinates so much.
"For example, in our Marshal's Mansion, we will write a review and analyze the gains and losses of the task.
"Of course, if our Marshal's Mansion was carrying out this mission, you wouldn't be so motivated when you came out. You must come here first to explore the reality and reality.
"In short, when you come to our Marshal's Mansion, you have to live and work according to the rules of our Marshal's Mansion, and you will not go to the base camp anymore.
"When you invite someone over, remember to make it clear to them."
Listening to Xu Xingchen's words, Saito quickly savored Xu Xingchen's mentality, and then asked incredible questions:
“Are you not interested in the Longbow Islands?”
Xu Xingchen subconsciously shook his head and said:
"Why am I interested in there? You commanders are like that everywhere, what am I doing in the past?
"There are many islands and land on the ocean. Why do I want to compete with you kings of sacrificial land?
"To be honest, I don't really like the Flying Eagle Islands, I just want to do an experiment here."
…………
While Xu Xingchen was chatting with Saito, the senior executives of the two major ship girls in the Changbow Islands were also holding separate meetings to urgently discuss the situation of the operation.
The joint fleet headquarters conference room, including Musashi and Shotoki, the senior fleet executives sat around the long conference table, with their expressions particularly solemn.
Musashi and Shotoha rushed back and introduced the strength of Yunhai in various aspects that they had experienced personally to their companions.
Yamato and Shotoha once again verified that both sides had completely broken the line, but they chatted with each other, which was such a strange thing.
Then the meeting entered a deadlock, fighting was impossible, communication was completely controlled, and this battle could not be fought at all.
Unless all deployments can be completely determined locally, all participants will be allowed to give up the radio and fight as planned.
However, this modern war is obviously impossible to do so. Even in ancient times, no one could fully predict the enemy's movements and make sufficiently accurate arrangements in advance.
After a long silence on the scene, Shohe tried to speak:
"Or why, let's confirm first whether we can send a delegation to each other and visit each other's local areas."
No one objected. Although everyone felt that there should be no good results, we should try it after all, and there was an excuse to temporarily leave the meeting.
At the same time, the atmosphere inside the high-rise conference room of the base camp was as solemn as the joint fleet, but it gave people a more gloomy and depressing feeling.
Emperor Atsuhito sat on his head, looking down with a stern face without saying a word, looking at the vacant position on his right hand, which was Saito's.
Seeing this position, after a while of emotion, Xu Ren asked with a stern face:
"Is there any news about Saito? What the hell is he doing?"
The scene was silent for a few seconds, and a senior commander reported:
"There is no news at the moment. According to the commander report back, General Saito asked them to return to the base camp at that time, but General Saito himself said he would stay and continue to observe and wait for the opportunity. There has been no news since then..."
As soon as this person finished speaking, a person next to him shouted:
"Even if you wait for the opportunity, you can't completely cut off your communication with us!"
Then someone added:
"In the previous operations, we had contacted the base camp in real time. Now the situation is that General Saito doesn't want to contact us anymore!"
With the preparation of the two people in front, a commander who followed him shouted loudly to the conclusion:
"Sato must have betrayed the base camp!"
The others stopped and immediately widened their eyes. This conclusion was a bit reckless, but it was in line with the etiquette of the commanders on the scene...
Saito is gone, and there is only one competitor missing.
Looking at the atmosphere at the scene, Ayuri knew that Saito could not escape this time.
While sighing in my heart, I said very seriously on the surface:
"There is no definite news at the moment. There is no conclusion on the situation of General Saito. Skip this issue.
"Let's discuss what's more important next, how should we deal with the foreign fleet of the Flying Eagle Islands."
As soon as Xu Ren finished speaking, someone yelled loudly:
"Your Majesty, we should send troops immediately to retake the Flying Eagle Islands that should belong to us!"
This suggestion was immediately approved by most senior executives, and the scene was filled with echoes.
Xu Ren nodded gently. War is a good thing, no matter whether you win or lose, it is a good thing for you.
If you win, you will naturally get the Flying Eagle Islands. If you lose, you can also eliminate some high-level commanders who are too big to lose.
Saito has not come back, so no one among the top leaders knows the information control ability of the Yunhai Fleet, nor does he know that the gap between the times has been widened.
After a brief wait, Xu Ren made the senior management of the base camp at the scene brewing emotions, he finally stood up and announced loudly:
"Immediately organize the oceanic decisive battle fleet, the island landing fleet, and regain our Flying Eagle Islands!"
Chapter completed!
