Chapter 740 The Future of the Navy

After boarding the warship, Lin Yifan saw many crew members cleaning the deck.When they saw a group of people rushing up, they immediately put on guard and looked at the well-armored soldiers with cold eyes, because they didn't recognize the identities of these people.

"What are you doing? You're all gone." Lin Yifan looked at the Qilin guards crowded on the deck with dissatisfaction, and shouted in a deep voice.

"Yes!" Qilin Wei immediately withdrew upon hearing this.

The crew members looked at the person in surprise, who is this person and has such power.Even his own general accompanied him around, with a respectful expression on his face.

Seeing that the crew members were still staying, Liang Shicheng couldn't help shouting anxiously: "Your Majesty, why don't you hurry up and salute?"

What, this person is His Majesty?Everyone was taken aback for a moment, then knelt down on the deck one after another, shouting long live
Lin Yifan smiled slightly, "This is in the army, it is a military salute, there is no need to bow down, all soldiers, get up quickly."

Then everyone stood up excitedly, lined up quickly, held their heads high, and accepted Lin Yifan's review.

Lin Yifan walked up to them, greeted them one by one, asked about their names, birthplaces, and positions, and then encouraged them a few words.It caused the faces of all the soldiers to turn red, and they couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Then, surrounded by everyone, Lin Yifan entered the cabin for a visit, and learned about the structure and performance of the warship in detail.

After walking out of the cabin and returning to the deck, Lin Yifan motioned everyone to sit on the floor on the deck, asking everyone to give their opinions on the current warship, see if there is anything that can be improved, and how to improve it to make everyone's life on the ship more comfortable comfortable.

After being cautious, everyone finally began to speak freely, pouring out all kinds of dissatisfaction with the warship.Lin Yifan ordered someone to record them one by one, and prepared to send them to the shipbuilding department for improvement.

Afterwards, Lin Yifan asked everyone what they thought of the navy. After everyone thought about it for a while, a small sailor boldly said: "Your Majesty, what can the navy do? After the world is settled, we can only fight at sea every day." fish."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone couldn't help laughing loudly, and after laughing, they couldn't help showing a trace of unwillingness on their faces.

"Haha, I can't bear to let our navy built with a lot of money go fishing." Lin Yifan smiled, his face gradually calmed down, and said seriously: "Everyone, do you know how big this world is? Do you know that in the East China Sea? What is the end of the world? If you keep going forward, will you return to the original point in the end?"

When everyone heard the words, they couldn't help but fell into deep thought. They would occasionally flash this thought, but they would never think deeply about it.

Lin Yifan looked at the crowd and continued: "I'm very curious, I just want to know where the end of this world is? I want to know more about this world, don't you think so? Only our navy can realize this wish now , only we can travel the world and explore the endless world.”

When everyone heard the words, they couldn't help getting excited. If His Majesty supported them, where would they go?

However, some people also raised doubts, "Your Majesty, I am afraid that some people will slander Your Majesty and criticize our navy because of this. After all, there is no profit, and it is very easy to cause domestic opposition."

Lin Yifan smiled lightly and said, "Who said that this move is not doing business properly, who said that this move is not profitable? Wrong, when the world is settled, it will be the time for our navy to unsheath its sheath. At that time, the land will basically be stable, and there will be no further expansion. But the boundless sea will be our future battlefield. You not only shoulder the heavy responsibility of exploring the world, but also shoulder the responsibility of expanding the empire's overseas territory. The Tianhua Empire not only wants to become a land hegemony , but also to become a sea power, within the four seas, I am the only one in control."

The last eight words were resounding, and a surge of pride and ambition rushed into everyone's hearts. At this time, they seemed to have found their future goals. If the army is the right hand of the empire, then the Chinese navy will become the left hand of the empire that day, and will embrace all the world. In his arms, he became the only existence in the world.

"As for saying that there is no profit in the world, it is even more ridiculous." Lin Yifan sneered, "The Central Plains is just a corner of the world, and the products it occupies are just a fraction of the world. If we can find more land in the world, we can gain All the properties above can greatly meet our needs."

"At the same time, in the west of our Western Regions, there are countless states and countries. If we want to use them for transportation and trade, we have to go through many obstacles and experience the exploitation and embezzlement of various countries. On the road, not only the load is extremely low, but the cost But it is very expensive and seriously hinders the development of our business."

"However, if you use sea transportation, a transport ship can carry a hundred times the cargo of a horse-drawn cart, and the cost of money and food is far lower than the cost of land business travel. If we say that it was the era of land power before, then from now on, The world will enter the age of great navigation."

"Our Tianhua Empire must open up a second commercial route, open up a sea corridor from the sea, directly communicate with Western countries, and get rid of the risk of being monopolized and blocked by land powers. Our navy will be this sea corridor The guardian of our empire is a powerful force to safeguard the interests of our empire. Where the army cannot extend, your navy needs to take on this important task."

One sentence, like a heavy hammer, hit the ambitions in everyone's hearts.Not only did the crew members' blood boil, but Liang Shicheng couldn't help but clenched his fists to suppress the excitement in his heart.Hearing His Majesty's words today, he knows that the era of their navy is coming.

Looking at the expressions of everyone, Lin Yifan knew that his purpose of coming today had been achieved.After he uttered his expectations for the navy to everyone, these words will soon sweep the entire navy, and even the entire world.And this will also become the direction for Tianhua to guide the development of the navy in the future.Even what is included here is not only the interests of the navy, but also the interests of other parties.

For example, in the expansion of overseas territories, the army is bound to participate in it. Although it cannot lead the expansion, it can at least get a share of the pie.In fact, the entire army understands that with the unification of the Central Plains, there is no possibility of expansion in the surrounding area.Then their army can only choose to garrison the frontier, and the rest will be abolished to reduce domestic pressure.But if they can continue to expand overseas, then their army will be useful. After all, the capture and garrison of overseas land requires the cooperation of their army.

There is also the business community. For a long time, merchants have been suffering from long-distance trade, which is risky and costly, and has been unable to expand their business scale.If they know that His Majesty will open a sea corridor, then their products will be transported to the far west ten times and a hundred times, and the profits will be a hundred times and a thousand times, and this will encourage merchants to increase their investment in navigation.The age of great voyages will truly come due to the participation of merchants.
