The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 674 Four Fleets
Needless to say, the Guishuang Empire has reached the era of decline, and the big man did not regard him as a great enemy at all. As for the Northern Huns, let alone the current big Han completely crushed them, and the Northern Huns did not dare to provoke the big man.

Now the only powerful enemies adjacent to the big Han are the Guishuang Empire in the west and the Northern Huns in the northwest. As for the Chop Kingdom in the south, as long as the big Han controls all the west, it is easy to take down the Chop Kingdom.

There are two other empires in the world, the Sasanian Dynasty is about to rise. In Chen Ziming's memory, Ardashir, the founding king of the Sasanian Dynasty, will reproduce the glory of the Persian Empire. The empire was also conquered.

The Sasanian dynasty, whose territory expanded to the terrifying Central Asia, West Asia, South Asia and Eastern Europe, can be called a major overlord of this era.

As for the Sasanian dynasty and the Han dynasty, which is stronger, it should not be difficult to figure out, whether it is Central Asia or Europe, they all have one thing in common, that is, the population is insufficient, that is to say, their military strength is not too much.

What impressed Chen Ziming most was that Alexander led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to sweep across the Eurasian continent and dominate the world.

Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are nothing compared to the big man. Even in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, the Seven Kingdoms of China were always fighting with 20 or 40 troops. It is just a joke.

Not to mention the current big man, if the big man is willing, it is easy to increase the army of one million, but this will affect the economic development of the big man, and the huge military expenditure will drag down the big man's finances.

Unless it is the moment of life and death, the big man cannot fight the whole country. Chen Ziming thinks that in today's world, there should be no one who can push the big man to that point.

As for the Roman Empire, Chen Ziming really doesn't know how strong it is now, because even the Dahan's mission failed to reach the Roman Empire, and the Dahan's hidden guards couldn't find out what is going on in the current Roman Empire.

But one thing is certain is that the Roman Empire is still the hegemon of Europe today, and it is the absolute hegemon of Europe, a behemoth that spans Asia, Europe, and Africa.

After all, the Roman Empire is a very old empire, and it must have its merits in being able to pass it on for so long.After all, the Roman Empire has been passed down for more than 400 years in history.Moreover, both the head of state and the House of Representatives originated from Rome, a very remarkable empire.

But now it has nothing to do with the big man. The two empires are too far apart, and Chen Ziming is not planning to go on an expedition to Europe. It is unnecessary, because even if the big man conquers all of Europe, so what, the big man can't rule Europe for long.

Europe is too chaotic, with many races and countless churches. If one fails, it will be a major rebellion, and it cannot be completely ruled. It is meaningless to spend national power on expeditions. It is better to think about the present.

For example, the vast land in the north, the country in the south, and the vast sea are all good development directions. For a long time, Dahan will not lack land or development directions, such as Southeast Asia.

"The military department sent the navy expansion plan, you all have a look." After the seven-day long vacation, the military aircraft department started to work, and the first thing to do was the navy expansion plan.

Chen Ziming did not participate in this matter. It was entirely the military expansion plan proposed by the military department based on the current situation. Gan Ning came to ask Chen Ziming for his opinion. Chen Ziming let them grasp the scale. Chen Ziming is not the nanny of the navy. .

After Zhuge Liang read the naval expansion plan, he said, "The Han Dynasty suddenly occupied the southern peninsula, and the coastline suddenly doubled. Today's navy is indeed not enough to control the entire coast of the Han Dynasty."

Zhuge Liang deeply understood the importance of the navy. Not to mention the countless large and small islands in the sea, he said that they went on an expedition to Funan, and the food and grass delivered by the navy made the expeditionary army no worries.

And in Zhuge Liang's view, a large number of naval forces must be deployed in the south, because the King of Funan fled to the south, where there is a large area of ​​land, and the strength of the big man is unknown, so the defense must be strengthened.

After all, there is only a strait across there. If the enemy comes to attack, the navy can reinforce it at any time, or cut back, allowing the big man to control the absolute initiative. Moreover, it is very convenient and fast enough to mobilize troops from the sea.

"Based on the current situation of the big man, the army can be expanded appropriately." Pang Tong also supported the expansion of the navy, not to mention anything else, just one point, the big man has money and can afford it.

No one objected to the expansion of the navy. The Military Aircraft Department reached an agreement and agreed to expand the navy, but nominally, the expansion of the navy required the consent of the two houses. Although it was a formality, Chen Ziming still believed that it was necessary.

Let’s not talk about the House of Representatives. It’s just a name now. Houses of Representatives have been established in various places, but their power is still being questioned. Many people dare not stand up to speak for the people.

The Senate is still Liu Bei's puppet today. It is either loyal to Liu Bei, or has a handle in Liu Bei's hands, or is afraid of Liu Bei, and dare not refute Liu Bei's meaning at all.

The Military Aircraft Department has agreed to expand the army, saying that this is what Liu Bei meant, and the Senate passed it unanimously without any doubts.

Chen Ziming could only shake his head and sigh. He hoped that someone would stand up and raise doubts. He hoped that the Senate would gradually learn to use the power in his hands. Unfortunately, this was an extravagant hope. For one day when Liu Bei was in power, the Senate was just a display.

The naval expansion plan was passed, but Chen Ziming finally intervened in it, because the naval expansion plan was too general, and the military expansion was blindly increased without any essential improvement.

Chen Ziming divided the navy into four major fleets, the Northern Fleet, Eastern Fleet, Southern Fleet, and Western Fleet.

The Northern Fleet covers the waters of Youzhou, Heilongzhou, Jizhou, Fuzhou, etc. The Eastern Fleet runs from Qingzhou to Daoyizhou, which is the defense area of ​​the Eastern Fleet. The Southern Fleet is responsible for the South China Sea Islands and the eastern part of the South Peninsula.

As for the Western Fleet, the goal is to develop westward, and the site is the Bay of Dahan, which is the Bay of Bengal in later generations.

The four fleets all have their own development directions. Needless to say, the Northern Fleet is targeting the Arctic Ocean, the Eastern Fleet is targeting the Pacific Ocean, and the Southern Fleet is not only targeting the South China Sea Islands, but they need to control all of Southeast Asia.

The Western Fleet's goal is the Indian Ocean, but Chen Ziming prefers to call it the Great Han Ocean. The Great Han Bay is just their starting point. They will use this as a line to develop outward and have their own territories.

The four major fleets are further divided into several sub-fleets. As for how to divide them, the military department decides on its own. Chen Ziming just gave him a general direction, a correct development direction. The growth of the Han Navy will take time to accumulate.

Chen Ziming hopes that the Han Navy can go out of the near sea and go to the world in his lifetime, and start a real era of great navigation.
