Chapter 229 Greetings, Your Majesty!
The changes in Musashi and Shotoki made Yamato curious about Xu Xingchen.
However, Yamato did not agree to the visit in person.
Instead, let Musashi and Shotoha replied to Xu Xingchen, and he could go to the Flying Eagle Islands with the support fleet. If Xu Xingchen was willing, he could meet in the Flying Eagle Islands.
The joint fleet was still quite active in supporting the construction of the fleet, and the selection of personnel will be started immediately after the meeting.
And the base camp is a different situation.
Only sixteen commanders went back, and the other senior executives of Xu Ren who received the news were in a very complicated mood.
The complete failure of the battle made them extremely angry, and the betrayal of the ten commanders shocked them.
The only thing that can be thankful is that the ten vacancies left by the ten traitors are a good thing to some extent for the commanders of the base camp.
Of course, it would be better if there was one more.
It would be best if you don’t come back, you can just be willing to pay the debt openly.
Therefore, in order to discuss the response to the battle results, when the meeting was just held, they all initiated accusations against the returned representatives.
Xu Ren knew what other senior executives wanted, so he took the lead and said:
"This failure is a shame to our base camp, and someone needs to be responsible for this matter!"
Someone immediately took the blame and pointed the finger at the returned representative:
"As the representative, Masao Echizen should apologize!"
"This is not a person's responsibility, and other representatives should also resign!"
"Stop it all!"
Masao Echizen directly shouted loudly and stopped everyone's yelling. Since he dared to come back, he was of course ready, so he continued to say loudly at this time:
"I know what you are thinking. Those ten betrayal guys have already taken the responsibility. Don't continue to be more aggressive.
"If we all cut off and resign, you will know nothing about the situation in the Central Islands!
"Especially, the failure of this battle has nothing to do with whether we make mistakes. If any fleet fights, they will lose."
The other senior executives were stunned and suddenly realized that after Echizen came back, no documents were submitted.
All of them were not submitted, including the investigation report on the Central Islands and the explanation of the battle process.
Everyone suddenly understood that the six representatives who had returned had reached an agreement on the way.
They deliberately hid the information, and if other senior officials continue to force it, they will not disclose the information, and the base camp may really not get any information.
These people are already greedy, and they can't decide what to do next, so they look at Emperor Ao Ren together.
After Xu Ren pondered for a moment, he continued to question with a stern face:
"This is not enough. Each of you has reduced the military rank, position, and treatment by one level!"
Echizen Masao looked at Ayuhito with a stern face, frowned and bargained:
"The salary can be reduced, but it is impossible to hand over the position. If you hand over, you can't get it back. If you must force it, we will go directly to the Central Islands to surrender."
Xu Ren's expression was a bit ugly, but it didn't happen in the end:
"Okay, this matter has ended here. We will now discuss the next action. Echimpo, please introduce the situation of the Marshal's Office of the Central Archipelago."
Masao Echizen breathed lightly, knowing that the first level had passed.
But next, I still couldn't hand over the sorted report documents and reports, and this thing could only be left in the minds of six of my own people.
It can prevent them from killing donkeys and also facilitate their own deception and guidance.
Now that he heard Ayuhito’s question, Masao Echizen directly explained the prepared introduction:
"The total land area of the islands in the Central Islands is more than 3 million square kilometers, which is more than ten times that of our Longbow Islands. The inland sea area inside the archipelago is nearly a hundred times that of ours."
Masao Echizen paused for a moment just as he started, and he knew that the people around him were going to be amazed.
Then he heard a lot of exclamations.
"They actually control so much land!"
"The inland sea is equally important, and the inland sea is a safe resource-producing area."
"We should send troops to occupy it!"
What surprised you even more is still here...
Echizen Masao said something in his heart, and then continued to explain the basic situation:
"The number of ship girls is half more than our Longbow Islands, with a total of about 150,000, of which the Chinese system is the most, accounting for about half of the total.
"Except for Marshal Xu Xingchen's contracted ship girl, other ordinary Chinese-type ship girls are no different from our local Chinese-type ship girls.
"Although there are also ship girls in other systems, there are not many ship girls in each system after they are dispersed, and there are very few advanced ship girls.
"For example, the Japanese ship girls there did not have Yamato-class ship girls, nor Dafeng."
The screams around him were even louder.
"The population is more than twice ours, but the area is more than ten times ours. This is so unfair!"
"In this case, they will still snatch the Flying Eagle Islands from us! It's so hateful!"
"We absolutely cannot tolerate it, we must not accept the result of this battle!"
"I suggest sending troops immediately to attack the opponent's homeland!"
Masao Echizen narrowed his eyes and looked at the crowd of anger at the scene, nodding in his heart, and this is what he wanted.
However, Masao Echizen was not careless either. Although these people were prone to getting involved, they were not as easy to cheat.
Sure enough, Ayuhito reached out and pressed down, calming everyone down, and looked at Echizen Masao and asked:
"Since most of the ship girls on the other side are in the middle class, and they are the kind we have seen in the Admiral's Mansion, and the ship girls in other classes are not of advanced ones, why would you lose in the battle?"
Echizen Masamoto thought, it was indeed here, and then coughed lightly and explained:
"Because Marshal Xu Xingchen's contracted ship girl and his ship girl all have very special weapons that can launch attacks outside of vision. Our fleet cannot get close to their fleet and cannot enter the combat distance, so we are directly sunk by the other party.
"At the same time, they also have very special and powerful radio interference technology that can block our radio communications in combat, which has been revealed in the previous competition for the Flying Eagle Islands.
"This causes our fleet to be unable to fight against the other side at all, so I remind the base camp to never fight against the Marshal's Mansion, we cannot win!"
Of course, what Echizen Masao said is the truth, but the truth sometimes has the opposite effect.
As a former companion, Echizen Masao Tai knew these people, and they would only listen to what they were willing to listen to.
As expected, Ayuhito was very keen and grasped the key points introduced by Masao Echizen:
"You said - only Xu Xingchen's ship girl has these exclusive weapons and abilities?"
Echizen Masao sneered in a deep mood, but nodded very seriously on his face and said:
"Yes."
Masao Echizen did not know the number of Xu Xingchen's contracted ship girls. If he knew, he would add it now.
The supplementary ones are easier to gain trust from these former companions, and if they do not add them, they will be more misleading.
Sure enough, after hearing Masao Echizen's answer, Ao Ren showed a thoughtful look on his face:
"Only his contracted ship girl has such strong abilities, and a commander's ship girl has a limited number, and the maximum number of people that are known is only a hundred people.
"And as the number of contracts grows, the number of contracts is an old man.
"I heard that this Marshal Xu Xingchen is just a young boy in his twenties.
"No wonder he has to show their strength through a limited number of battle exercises each time he plays a field.
"No wonder when the Flying Eagle Islands were fighting, he just frightened our fleet through radio interference, rather than launching a counterattack directly.
"It's just because the number of ship girls he can fight is limited, and he has no way to fight a full-scale war with us."
Masao Echizen felt that his plan had been completed, and immediately smiled and exclaimed sincerely:
Chapter completed!
