Chapter 1109: Fight, Continue to Fight!
Translator: ryangohsff Editor: Nora
Chapter 1109 – Fight, Continue to Fight! action
If Great Xia wanted to protect its supremacy through war, it needed to select the right target.
Currently, Great Xia’s battle against Jin Country loomed, and they were still fighting Luzon in the south. They were already fighting on two fronts and could not be too anxious.
Du Ruhui even suggested, “The battle against Jin Country has just begun. Our troops have just crossed the border, so we can call them back. Should we stop the Battle of Jin, and then make plans after we settle this external problem?”
Ouyang Shuo resolutely shook his head, “The Battle of Jin cannot be stopped. We must finish it. As they say, to settle outside, we must first calm down our internal problems. Since we have already started the war, we should not pull back. If not, it would lower our prestige in China.”
“But the Great Zhou army has already moved to their border. I am worried that they might take the chance to break into Beijiang Province and disturb our backlines.” It was due to such considerations that Du Ruhui suggested they stopped the battle.
Ouyang Shuo thought differently from him, “They are just faking it. Order the Tiger, Leopard, and Eagle Legion Corps to move around at the border. The moment Great Zhou dares to enter, we can go on an all-out war with them.”
To take out Jin Country, Great Xia only housed an entire Garrison Division in Beijiang Province. Apart from that, it had no other troops, so it was pretty much defenseless against Great Zhou.
However, Ouyang Shuo knew that Di Chen would not dare to attack.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIf he really had that courage, Ouyang Shuo would be happy instead. Making use of this chance, he would totally wipe out this cancer to focus on the global scale.
When Du Ruhui heard that, he nodded.
Ouyang Shuo thought about it and continued, “How about this, Keming, I appoint you as the imperial commissioner of the frontline to the Beijiang Province battle. This it to show our determination and also raise the morale of our soldiers.”
“Yes my king!” Du Ruhui nodded once more.
“Help me tell Yue Fei not to have any worries. Great Xia is not like South Song in history. Ask him to go all out and help me wipe out Jin.” Ouyang Shuo instructed.
“Do not worry my king, I’ll spread your message!”
Du Ruhui did not have any more hesitation, as this was the strength that Great Xia possessed.
...
Following which, they discussed military matters. Ouyang Shuo asked Jiang Shang and Fan Li to leave first whilst rushing the Financial Court to calculate the impact of the voyage trade.
After settling down, Ouyang Shuo looked at Zhang Liang and asked, “Zifang, what do you think we should do to threaten TWP while netting us practical gains?”
Regarding dynasty strategy matters, naturally Zhang Liang had the most right to speak.
When Zhang Liang heard that, he walked toward the world map on the wall and said slowly, “The core of TWP is the Dawson Dynasty, and it is also Great Xia’s greatest enemy on the global battlefield.”
“To threaten them, the best way is to teach Dawson Dynasty a lesson to let the Lords realize that even the quickly rising Dawson Dynasty is not Great Xia’s opponent.”
When Ouyang Shuo heard that, his eyes instantly lit up. As expected of Zhang Liang, he really dared to think, wanting to head for the toughest bone in Silver Hand right away.
“It seems like Zifang already has a specific target?” Ouyang Shuo smiled as he asked.
Zhang Liang nodded and pointed, “I suggest to totally take down this place.”
“Hawaii?”
“That’s right.” Zhang Liang explained, “Currently, we are sharing Hawaii with them, and nobody has the upper hand. As long as we chase them out, it can show the strength of our navy and also gain control over the Pacific Ocean, killing two birds with one stone.”
When Ouyang Shuo heard that, he did not give an opinion right away.
The Battle of Hawaii was in truth a battle between the Pacific Squadron and the Free Squadron. Be it in scale, weapons, or battle preparation, both squadrons were on the same level.
Swallowing Hawaii was not going to be an easy matter.
But just as Zhan Liang had said, as it was not easy, if Great Xia did it, it could give the Dawson Dynasty a huge blow. It could hit their ambition to rise up in the seas and shock the world.
Ouyang Shuo did not give an immediate reply as his fingers aimlessly tapped on the table. To fight the Free Squadron in Hawaii, apart from strategy influences, Ouyang Shuo needed to consider the big picture.
The moment they started this battle, it would be like starting war with the Dawson Dynasty.
Great Xia was already enemies with the Di Family. Now, if they provoked the Dawson Family, Great Xia and Silver Hand would have no choice but to fight to the end.
“Who cares.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOuyang Shuo finally set his heart to it and said to Zhang Liang, “Let the Administrative Mentor Court and the Navy Headquarters come up with a detailed plan, and then we will discuss.”
“Understood!” Zhang Liang nodded.
Military matters were of major importance to the country; it was a matter of life and death. Since they were going to fight, they needed to be well prepared. Otherwise, they might end up falling on their heads.
Zhang Liang continued, “Apart from attacking Hawaii, I also noticed that TWP pretty much have all the dynasties in the world except one.”
“You are referring to the Indian Empire in South America?”
“Yes.” Zhang Liang nodded, “I feel that we can work with them. We should proceed earlier with the South America trade deal. It is best if we can send out an envoy to ask them about it.”
Early on, Ouyang Shuo had arranged the Pacific Squadron to try to open up the trade route between South America and them. However, the Pacific Ocean was too vast, and there were many pirates. To open up the trade route took time.
The trade route between Great Zhou and Dawson Dynasty was opened up by the two parties together. Even so, the merchants were often attacked by pirates.
Furthermore, Great Xia and South America were really far apart. Apart from Hawaii between them, there were no other resource replenishment points. This was a huge obstacle to trading.
Under the precedence that there was the Mediterranean trade route, the merchants were not that excited about South America.
Along with TWP being established, Great Xia’s trade would be affected in the short term. Opening up the trade route could add in a new point to voyage trading.
The vast South America continent hid endless amounts of wealth.
Ouyang Shuo had a plan, “Push back the Indian Empire matter and take down Hawaii first. With nothing to impress them, the Honglu Temple cannot do anything.”
“The king is wise!” Zhan Liang agreed.
Seeing the king and Zhang Liang agreeing on the Hawaii matter, Du Ruhui said, “My king, regarding Sri Lanka joining Peacock Dynasty, should we add some pressure?”
