Chapter 225 Emergency Meeting
Qu Mao and Su Yan communicated until very late before returning to their rooms to rest.
In the evening, Qu Mao saw that all the people who were asked to come back for the meeting had gathered in Yi Village, so he didn't wait until the evening with the notice, but held the meeting immediately.
After the eight heroes and three island owners sat down in the restaurant of the lord's hut, Qu Mao asked Su Yan to announce the bad news to everyone, and everyone was shocked instantly.
Even Sylvia Ocean, who had extremely low loyalty, showed a trace of puzzlement and nervousness on his face. About the news of being targeted by the birdman, Qu Mao reminded other island owners and heroes more than once, but he really listened to it. When a God's Chosen Alliance targeted Yi Village's territory and dispatched 40 warships, everyone was surprised to varying degrees.
Qu Mao just quietly observed everyone's reaction and didn't speak.
Everyone also gradually turned from shock at the beginning to whispering among each other. Su Yan was watching everyone's reactions nervously, so that Su Qiaoer had to put her hand on Su Yan's arm.
Finally, Qu Mao saw that everyone's attitude became calmer, so he said: "Everyone, it has been more than 20 days since the magic communication tower in our territory was completed, and we have a total of six top-equipped communication crystals and more than 80 pieces. Ordinary communication crystals, we will only produce top-equipped communication crystals in the future.
This time, everyone will first have a normal version of the communication crystal, and then we will give you a top-up communication crystal, and exchange it back to the normal version of the communication crystal that was given to you this time.
There are currently six top-matched communication crystals, and I, Su Yan, Kong Ming, Zhao Pan, Sunan, and Su Qiaoer each have one..."
Kong Ming interrupted anxiously: "My lord, you know, what we want to hear about the communication crystal is not what we want to hear now! Don't waste time on unimportant things, we must face it seriously, 40 warships are not a small amount. Invading force."
There was a smile on the corner of Qu Mao's mouth, but he quickly covered it up and said, "Su Yan and I are already arranging the construction of coastal defense ballistas and coastal defense catapults.
And prepare to assemble a standing force on each island, both ready to destroy the enemy at sea, and also ready to enter the land battle after the enemy lands..."
Sylvia Ocean said indifferently: "My lord, you prepare five warships for my subordinates, and my subordinates are absolutely sure that all 40 enemy ships that will be committed in the future will be wiped out at sea."
Sir Mrak is considered to be the hero who has the best relationship with Sylvia Ocean in the territory of Yi Village. After all, the two have hunted and upgraded together for nearly 20 days. Hearing what Sylvia Ocean said, he asked : "Sylvia, 1 vs 8 at sea, who gave you the courage?"
Sylvia Ocean said: "My lords, naval battles are different from land battles, not a simple comparison of forces, so my lords, can you have more detailed information on the 40 enemy ships, such as when did the 40 enemy ships set off? Where did you start? How long is it expected to be here?"
Qu Mao opened the lord's communication channel, and after further confirmation, he said: "The enemy ship set off three days ago, and the port of departure is called Dunkirk Port in the Marquis of France. It is said that it has sailed more than 1,000 kilometers and entered the surrounding area of Yi Village within 1000 km.
Other information is not clear yet. "
Sylvia Ocean said: "The port of Dunkirk in the Marquis of France? It's about 3,000 kilometers away from Yancheng port.
Even if the enemy ship has a good course and a smooth sailing, it may take about a month to sail around Yidao. This is not counting the time they searched and found our Yidao. Be conservative, and estimate that we still have about 45 days. get ready.
My lord, you can get another four warships within 45 days. My subordinates should hurry up and train 1,000 naval fighters below the third rank in the naval barracks. They will definitely be able to destroy the enemy fleet at sea. "
Kong Ming sighed and said: "My lord, since there are still 45 days to go, finding a warship is an important thing, but we also have to make other preparations, such as finding some gold coins and strengthening our infrastructure, including our coastal defense." Weapons, territorial defense buildings, and even recruit and train a group of new fighters, of course, it would be even better to purchase warships."
Zhao Pan shouted: "My lord, our navy developed relatively late and its strength is relatively weak. Even if we can purchase warships, the naval fighters lack training, and I am afraid that they will not be able to reach the combat power that Lord Sylvia needs.
Subordinates believe that preparations for land warfare are essential! "
Wang Ping added: "My subordinates share the same opinion as Mr. Zhao Pan. For 40 warships, the number of combat personnel on board is between 8,000 and 12,000, and it is impossible to exceed 15,000 at most.
Although we have less than 1,000 soldiers in the Yi Village Territory Army, we have a convenient location, and our subordinates believe that we can disperse and defeat the invading enemy on land. "
Sir Mrak said: "My lord, although my subordinate is an army, but the invading enemy is so huge, we must cooperate with sea blocking, coastal defense to destroy the enemy, and land to destroy the enemy. Only by working together can we win."
Su Nan said: "My lord, although I have served in the army before, I have finally retired. So I will do my best to cooperate with your master's arrangements for infrastructure construction. There is no doubt that the invading enemy must be defeated!"
Su Yan and Su Qiaoer basically didn't speak. No matter how confident the others were, the enemy was too strong, at least for the current Yi Village.
After all, Su Yan and Su Qiaoer, as chief and deputy internal affairs officers, knew very well that the current population of Yi Village territory was only about 5,600 people, and the number of enemy fighters alone was twice the total population of Yi Village territory.
Even if there is a favorable location, can the convenient location make up for the difference in the number of fighters that is more than ten times larger?
Qu Mao slightly pressed his hands to stop everyone from getting more and more heated arguments, and said: "Everyone is very reasonable, and the method is also very effective.
But I think Sir Mrak's words are worthy of everyone's attention, that is, we can only win if we fight with the strength of the entire territory.
Note that it is the possibility of winning, not winning.
Since Sylvia judges that it will take about 45 days for the enemy to contact our territory at sea, let me talk about my deployment and plan.
First of all, Master Su Yan lent 15,000 gold coins to the territory. Our short-term gold coin troubles can be suspended, but it cannot solve our problem of gold coin shortage for a long time. Therefore, I hope that Su Yan and Su Qiaoer can set up coastal defense weapons on the three islands. Urge the construction of coastal defense weapons.
Secondly, in order to solve our long-term shortage of gold coins, I plan to let Sunan, Sylvia, and Maffei Trani accompany me to open up new trade routes, and strive to get out of the new route before contacting the enemy at sea. Earn some coins back.
Thirdly, I am also planning to recruit and train some fighters, including naval fighters. We have stored 500 sets of naval equipment in the naval barracks, ranging from the first to the fourth ranks. At least the training has been completed. "
Sylvia Ocean said indifferently: "My lord, the sailors and naval fighters have gone through the training of their subordinates, and there are no problems.
If you just sail northeast to a place 500 kilometers away from Yancheng Port, your subordinates believe that you will definitely be able to reach it. If you personally participate in the sea fleet, your subordinates can guarantee 100% arrival.
However, the subordinates don't particularly understand the matter of earning gold coins by doing business. Because it is going to trade, warships must not be taken with them. If a merchant ship encounters an enemy fleet, the subordinates are sure to run away, but 100% safety cannot be guaranteed. "
Su Nan said: "My lord, open up a new sea route, so don't go.
Wait for the new business route to be opened up, and you will find another opportunity to go there. Sir Sylvia is with us, and there are hero backpacks, so there is no problem if you don’t go. "
Jia Sixie and Franklin Jin discussed with each other in a low voice, and Jia Sixie said: "My lord, don't worry about recruiting and training soldiers. With our food reserves on outlying islands and empty islands, my subordinates think that even if we train another 1,000 soldiers, the food will not be enough." Enough to feed us for more than three years.
This has not counted the food we have replanted in the past three years. If we want to count, I am afraid that we will not be under pressure to train 1,000 more soldiers. "
Qu Mao nodded and said: "I am very pleased that the food reserves are sufficient, but as long as the enemy lands, it is impossible to give us more than three years of hiding time, and the food reserves are only for the enemy.
There are currently three countermeasures. The first is to strengthen the construction of coastal defense weapons; the second is to open up new sea routes to earn gold coins; the third is to train new fighters, mainly naval fighters.
Later, when we are preparing to open up new routes to sell goods, Sylvia first completes the navy recruitment work. After Sylvia goes to sea, I will arrange senior naval soldiers to serve as trainers to train new soldiers.
The construction of coastal defense weapons will be handed over to Su Yan and Su Qiaoer. Every citizen needs to mobilize. This time, none of us can take it lightly in the face of the enemy.
Of course, I also want to find a way to purchase more warships. If there are not enough commodities to open up a new sea route, then Su Yan, a large part of the monster explosions we collected in the early days can also be taken out and shipped to the new aborigines port. City sales for gold coins. "
"Yes!" The high-level core personnel of Yi Village Territory accepted the task one after another.
Qu Mao continued: "To open up a new sea route, we can be a little bolder and send out a few more ships.
The enemy is right in front of you, and the Yi Village Territory must use all the strength of the territory to deal with it, so I will not leave you in Yi Village tonight. Please return to your respective posts as soon as possible, and act as soon as possible according to the mission deployment. "
"Yes!" Everyone stood up and ran to their respective posts.
Considering that everyone didn’t have dinner, Qu Mao ordered Zhao Pan to lead the troops to **** the heroes and island owners of outlying islands and empty islands back to outlying islands from the Ziguang trail.
