Heavenly Dao Formula

Jinxia City, Fengyang Villa.

After receiving Xia Fan's notification, Ning Wanjun's army had set off to return, while the princess herself took the Olina express line and returned to the villa that day.

Therefore, not long after receiving the information from the front line, a strategic meeting was held in the reception hall. In addition to the military representatives, the participants also included representatives from the Elf side, the head of the affairs bureau, and Mo Yun, the head of the mechanism bureau.

Xia Fan took the lead in announcing the details of the intruder.

Judging from the scale, this is a pursuit fleet. The flag flying by the flagship is the Crown Lion Flag, which should belong to the Kingdom of Nattatin. Its current location is about 240 miles away from the east coast. Thanks to the one-week tour of the Ministry of Records of the Gyeonggi Privy Council, the Bureau is no longer blind to overseas affairs. According to the patterns of flags and aristocratic badges, those overseas visitors can be recognized at all times.

The kingdom is located on a continent called Siristi, which is quite close to the Holy Wing Islands and Rangis Oceania, and it can be regarded as a member of the West Pole countries. Due to geographical factors, the relationship between these countries is quite complicated, and the Privy Council did not record too much, only saying that Nattatin is the most powerful one in the West Pole.

The core of the pursuit fleet is three sailing battleships, each of which is no smaller than Dongsheng Kingdom's Victory. In addition, the fleet also carries a large number of pirate ships, most of which are single-deck or double-deck gunboats, which are more mobile. Although it is not a main fleet, its scale is far larger than that of Dongsheng's invading enemies.

"How about... let's withdraw, how about just pretending we didn't see this?" Hong Siqi asked cautiously. This was the first time for him to attend a meeting presided over by a princess, and he was uneasy but at the same time a little elated—this proved that he had finally joined Jinxia's highest circle of power.

As soon as these words came out, there was a moment of silence in the lobby.

Pang Ting wanted to say something, but seeing the high priest's calm expression, he finally closed his mouth.

In fact, not everyone agreed with Xia Fan's decision from the very beginning. Letting the Yao live in Jinxia was reasonable, but it would be too much to provoke the enemies on the other side of the sea for the sake of the Yao's appearance. It's just that Princess Guangping has always supported Xia Fan, so it's inconvenient to say it out, but now the number of enemy ships is really quite a lot, which also makes the voice of opponents much louder.

Ning Wanjun swept across the crowd with a little displeasure.

She doesn't care about helping the elves or not, but the decision to help has been approved by herself, which is equivalent to setting the basic policy of action. How can there be any reason to turn back? If it didn't happen in the first place, it's fine, but if the things she set up go against her will, what face does she have as a commander in chief? How to maintain the asylum relationship between Jinxia City and Shuzhou?

She didn't want to blame Hong Siqi for saying such things.

This person was originally an official from the imperial court, and he still retained the customs of a bureaucrat. To put it mildly, he was to be wise and protect his life, but to put it poorly, he would be ungrateful for profit.

But in the synagogue there are still many people she brought out.

How can she help her achieve her goal in the future if she considers the way out whenever she encounters difficulties? After all, what she has to do is full of risks and difficulties.

"Ahem..." Feeling the lord's cold eyes, Staff Officer He hurriedly broke the silence and said, "Retreat is the last option, and it's not yet that time. I would like to ask Mr. Xia, whether you have already dealt with the twenty way of a ship."

Xia Fan felt that everyone's eyes were on him.

So is Senia.

"First of all, we have to make sure that we don't have the ability to go out to sea to pursue." Xia Fan returned a comforting look, and said methodically, "The speed of the tree boat is far less than that of the sailing warship. Even if we can win, it will become a battle of defeat. .As long as the enemy can choose to actively flee, the battle is meaningless."

"So we must fight a battle of annihilation." He raised his voice, "Every battle should have its own expectations and goals. If the goals are not achieved, victory is no different from failure!"

"And if you want to wipe out your opponents, you can't launch them on the open sea. I hope you can make strategic considerations based on this requirement."

Having said that, he looked at Hong Siqi, "Of course I can understand Mr. Hong's worries. Lureing Jinxia City to fight in the sea will expose Jinxia City to the opponent's eyes. At the same time, the mountain is blocked by heavy snow in winter, and it is impossible for other cities in Qiguo to support it." We. But the benefits of this matter are worth Jinxia's doing - I think Master Mo should have a deep understanding of this."

Xia Fan doesn't mind if someone questions his decision-making. The essence of politics is a balance of mutual compromise. It is normal for others to have different opinions.

Mo Yun cleared his throat, "I'm not good at discussing government affairs, so let's just say the conclusion." She took out a booklet, "It's been a little over three months since the establishment of the New Machinery Engineering Bureau, and the factory building has been built to The sixth one recruits more than 2,700 people. This number is almost half of that of the Mechanical Engineering Bureau of the Ministry of Industry, and if the Weapons Bureau and other departments are included, the gap will be even greater."

"However, with a relatively small number of people and a small scale, the amount of iron consumed in December was four times higher than that of the Machine Building Bureau, and the output totaled more than 10,000 items. Among them, 3,000 were daily ironware, 2,000 were air rifles, and 2,000 were machine beasts. 4,000 spare parts, and about 1,000 other prototypes. There are as many as five projects being promoted at the same time, and in the past, one project a year was common in the Machine Building Bureau.”

She closed the booklet, "This high efficiency is not brought about by other things, it is related to the use of the astronomical instrument and the production line. Driving these things requires a large number of Qi sensers, and the elves have contributed a lot to this, so I agree with Master Xia's decision, helping them is defending Jinxia. I'm done."

After listening to a bunch of numbers, everyone's expressions were a little dull for a moment, obviously their train of thought hadn't fully caught up.

Xia Fan couldn't help raising the corner of his mouth, this... probably is Mo Yun's style.

"What do these numbers... mean?" Ning Wanjun winked at Xia Fan, "Of course I know, but you can make everyone understand more deeply."

He smiled and nodded, "To put it simply, Jinxia City's ability to produce armaments and daily consumables is comparable to that of the entire Ministry of Industry. However, the Ministry of Industry uses the power of Qiguo to supply all the state cities. And Jinxia's new machine building bureau is only in charge of one city."

A city is equivalent to a country.

This concept intuitively made the participants feel a little tremor.

Everyone knows that Jinxia's development is changing with each passing day, but they didn't expect it to reach this point unconsciously.

This is the meaning of the spirit senser, Xia Fan thought, the elves' natural spells are closely related to the tree spirits, which makes it impossible for them to carry out research on magic weapons. But after learning the relevant theoretical knowledge, their magical power can also drive the magic weapon. It can be said that it is the cooperation between the two parties that has created this win-win situation.

He knocked on the table to refocus everyone's attention, "It will be of great benefit to both parties if we can save the elves on the escaped treeboat. Risks do exist, but what you can get after a successful rescue is far from More than the risk on the surface can be compared-do you have any doubts about this?"

Everyone shut their mouths, and there was no more discussion in the auditorium.

"Very well, let's formulate a plan based on the offshore annihilation battle." The princess concluded.

...
