Chapter 1002 Maritime Powers (Additional updates will be provided for those who accumulate 400 monthly tickets)

At the same time, on an island far away from the mainland...

"What? You are in the offshore area Found a sea ship? And there are three more!"

As he spoke, the figure behind the curtain could no longer sit still and walked out quickly with a sound of "dong dong dong dong". .

It was a middle-aged man wearing a royal robe dyed with yellow cotin and an exaggerated long crown on his head.

Seeing the figure that suddenly rushed out, the man kneeling outside immediately lowered his head.

"Hi! Your Majesty the Emperor, we found three ships in the offshore area. We dare not approach easily. At the same time, the distance is too far and we cannot judge the size of the ships on the other side. We can only tell that they are Two little ones and one big one.”

Hearing this, the man who was called the Emperor suddenly looked uncertain.

[Those damn rats should not have the ability to build ships...]

[Could it be that other forces defeated the rat people and occupied the place? 】

When he thought of this, the emperor's face suddenly became even more ugly.

He knew very well the terror of the Rat Man, otherwise he would not have voluntarily abandoned the capital on the mainland and fled to the island with his troops by boat.

Under this premise, the Rat Man was killed. Doesn’t that mean that the new force is more terrifying than the Rat Man? !

When he thought of this, the emperor suddenly felt his heart trembling.

After abandoning the capital and escaping to this island, he worked hard for several years in order to find an opportunity to recapture the capital from the rat people.

Who would have thought that this plan could not keep up with the rapid changes!

Just facing the rat-men put him under great psychological pressure. If we say, the new force now appearing on the road is even more powerful than the previous rat-men.

At this moment, he really didn’t know what to do.

【If I had known this, it would be better not to send a ship over! 】

When he thought of this, the emperor felt regretful.

If he hadn't sent a boat over, the other party wouldn't have known of their existence anyway, and their lives would have been obviously much more stable.

And now, the other party has discovered their existence.

How many days of peace are left? No one can guarantee it.

But the emperor obviously knew that continuing to be so irritable was not an option.

Considering the existence of this enemy, he must prepare for the worst.

"Send the order and start building ships with all our strength! At least in terms of the number of ships, we have to catch up with the opponent, or even surpass the opponent!"

At this moment, the emperor's idea was very simple.

Although the Skaven also possess excellent swimming abilities, their core combat power is still concentrated on land, focusing on land warfare.

That unknown force can destroy the Ratmen on land, which is enough to prove the strength of the opponent's land warfare.

This alone has made him lose the idea of ​​fighting the opponent on land.

Under this premise, if they want to gain a chance of winning, there is only one way left, and that is to move the battlefield to the sea and fight a naval battle with the opponent!

They were a coastal country before, and in recent years they have become an island country. When it comes to fighting at sea, they still have some confidence.

It’s just that when facing the Ratmen before, there was basically no battle at sea.

To be honest, they escaped very quickly at that time, and with the cover of the capital, the ratmen on the opposite side might not even notice that they escaped by boat.

So they really don’t have any warships.

The boats in hand are mainly fishing boats. But in this day and age, if you want to say that there is not much difference between fishing boats and warships, it is not really that big of a difference.

By modifying the original fishing boats, they were able to build many warships in a short period of time.

In this way, we began to focus on modifying the ship. In the next period of time, there was really no bubble in the offshore area.

At the same time, the relevant reports were delivered to Zhou Xu as quickly as possible.

"A strange sea ship of thirty meters level..."

"White flag with a red band?"

Seeing this, Zhou Xu blinked.

[According to the description of this flag in the battle report, is it the national flag of Japan? 】

After all, it would be difficult to find another aunt flag like this in the original world.

In this world, time-travelers are not rare, but if the opposite party is really a time-traveler from the Japanese country, it is the first time-traveler from other countries besides China that he has encountered.

As a serious Chinese, Zhou Xu obviously did not think that the Japanese people opposite him would live in peace with him.

Before this, his main idea has always been 'I will not attack anyone unless the enemy attacks me! ’

But this time, he changed his mind and planned to take the initiative!

Of course, that doesn’t mean that we should rush forward stupidly right now.

They still don't know the specific strength of the opponent at the moment, and it is risky to attack rashly.

What they need to do now is to quickly build more warships! Expand the size of the naval force and conduct more training to enhance the strength of their Zhou navy!

By the way, some related equipment must be configured quickly.

“I really didn’t expect that what I just made would be put to use so quickly.”

While speaking, Zhou Xu lowered his head and looked at the thing placed on his desk. That gadget is a small disc with a small needle with two pointed ends on it. One end of the needle is dyed red and the other end is dyed blue.

Needless to say, this is a compass just produced by the equipment department.

After all, if you want to determine your position at sea, a compass is a necessary piece of equipment.

The successful production at this time was thanks to Zhang Xuemei's discovery of a mineral vein with natural magnet near the ruins of the city in the southern border.

While muttering to himself, Zhou Xu spread out a blank piece of animal skin paper and began to quickly write an order. Then he asked the messenger to take the order and send it to the southern border with the compass. past.

However, it is still a long way from Black Moon City to the Southern Territory. This time, the season changes from spring to late summer.

In fact, even if Zhou Xu didn't say anything, the shipbuilding work at the Harbor Shipyard was still going on.

But as soon as Zhou Xu’s order came, the content of the shipbuilding changed.

Zhou Xu’s latest request is to build more clippers! It is built according to the standard of one big ship with six fast boats!

This order was first sent to Bai Tu and Soros.

They really didn’t understand it at first, but their Majesty wrote the reason at the end.

I saw clearly written on the back...

"The ships on the opposite sea are thirty meters high. The supplies that ships of this size can carry are limited. Sea-going ships of this size alone can Being able to reach our offshore area means that the other party’s departure point is definitely not too far away from us.”

“So we don’t need too many large ships to ensure our long-distance navigation capabilities and increase speed ships. The proportion will allow us to be more flexible and faster in the subsequent naval battle."

After reading this, both Bai Tu and Soros suddenly realized!

Infer the amount of supplies the other party carries from the specifications of the opposite ship, and thus the distance between the other party and them.

This is really an angle of thinking that they have never thought of before!

“As expected of your Majesty!”
