"My lord, in that northern continent, there are not only indigenous people with colorful paint on their faces and bodies, but also a large number of indigenous people living in the southern region."

Gan Ning said!

oh!

Could it be that Xingba went to Nanmizhou?

It shouldn’t be!

Southern Mizhou is far away from Northern Mizhou.

"Xingba, where is the place on the map?"

Qin Qi said.

Damn it!

It is indeed Nanmi Continent!

"Xingba, the place you are going to is called Nanmi Continent. There are indeed many indigenous people living there, and it does not belong to Northern Mizhou."

Qin Qi said.

Due to the colonization of European countries, the southern continent of Mizhou became independent not many years ago, even later than the beautiful country.

"My lord, the southern continent is also very big, but it is not as big as the northern continent, and the climate is hotter than the northern continent."

Gan Ning said.

"Xingba, fortunately your fleet did not go around the South Mi Continent. If it did, it would go to the east of the North Mi Continent.

The journey is very long and very dangerous. Our five-masted warships still don’t have enough displacement. Only if they have more than 5,000 tons can we sail.”

Qin Qi said.

"My lord, after doing some humble work, I feel that the Northern and Southern continents are not worthy of our expedition.

People can be sent to exploit the resources on the continent. It is very difficult to control the North and South continents. They are too far away from our Central Plains region.

If something happens, it will take more than a year for the Central Plains to receive the news. Then we can send troops.

It will take another year. We cannot control the place in time, and it is not cost-effective to conquer."

Gan Ning said.

Qin Qi said nothing.

"What do you think of Xingba's words?"

Qin Qi said.

"My lord, General Gan is right. The distance is too far. It takes nearly a year from our Central Plains to the North and South America continents.

A large amount of supplies are needed to keep up. Once the army is dispatched, the supply problem alone cannot be solved.

Even if we capture the mainland of North and South America, it is not convenient for us to control it. If there is unrest or rebellion in North and South America,

It will be very difficult for the Central Plains to deal with it in a short period of time. Otherwise, it will be a big pit. Once it falls into it, it will not only drag down the development of the Central Plains, but even reduce the national strength of the Central Plains."

Zhang Zhaojin said.

Qin Qi said nothing and let his subordinates express their opinions.

"My lord, the navy is conducting an expedition against Luzon and the surrounding islands. We do not have any spare troops to attack the North and South mainlands.

This is not only a problem of long distances, the key is that the communication problem cannot be solved. As General Gan said,

After the conquest, once there is unrest in the North and South continents, we in the Central Plains will not be able to deal with it in time.

Unless two problems are solved, one is to increase the speed of warships and shorten the time from the Central Plains to the northern and southern continents;

The second is to solve the communication problem, so that what happens in North and South America can be reported to the Central Plains area as soon as possible.

Only then can we achieve a fair verdict or resolve the unrest in a very short period of time.”

Chen Qun said.

Qin Qi was surprised!

Chen Qun's words hit the nail on the head. It is indeed true that troops cannot be sent to conquer the northern and southern continents before solving the two problems.

Damn it!

The wisdom of the ancients is amazing!

"My lord, according to what General Gan said, it shouldn't be very difficult for our Xiakou army to conquer the northern and southern continents.

As long as we are determined, the supply problem can be solved. The two continents are basically primitive indigenous people, and their combat effectiveness will not be very high.

With the Xiakou Army's well-armed equipment, fighting against the primitive natives is purely a matter of dimensionality reduction and suppression. Victory will definitely belong to us.

However, local governance is an important link. Once the officials in the northern and southern continents have different intentions,

Or the general has evil intentions, and we in the Central Plains region really cannot solve it in a short time."

Xi Zhongdao.

"My lord, it is currently unrealistic to send troops to the northern and southern continents. We are also facing threats from the Huns and Xianbei people on the northern prairie.

There are also countries in the Western Region that must be dealt with. Only when the threats in the Central Plains are completely resolved can we consider sending troops to the North and South continents and other areas."

Xun You said.

Qin Qi nodded.

"My lord, I feel that if there is nugget gold on the Beimi continent, we can still consider sending some troops.

Our goal is not to seize the land, but to capture the primitive indigenous people to mine gold and silver mines for us. This is cost-effective."

Jia Xu said.

"My lord, that's not right! Once we send out troops, there will be problems with supplies, and supplies will also be needed for mining. You can't let the soldiers go hungry.

We can't send troops until the performance of the warships and the communication problem are solved. It's not cost-effective.

It is better to solve the problems of the northern grasslands and the countries in the Western Regions first to meet the needs of the Xiakou area."

Xun Yu said.

Seeing that the vast majority of people were not in favor of sending troops, they started discussing.

"Everyone, we must conquer North America, South America, and Kangaroo Continent. There is no doubt about this.

This is my officer's will. However, it does not mean that we will send out troops to conquer these continents immediately. We can first deal with the Huns and Xianbei people on the northern grasslands.

Then we can solve the problems of the countries in the Western Regions. When our technological level reaches a few levels and we can completely solve the problem of five-masted warships,

Only when the communication problem is solved can we send troops. The main target of the Navy now is Luzon Island and surrounding areas.

It is not a short-term solution to swallow up the sea areas around our Central Plains and then slowly devour and expand it outwards.

Actually?

The workshop chaired by Ma Jun has been studying the power of steam engines. Now two steam engines can drive warships with a displacement of more than 3,000 tons.

It’s just not popularized. In the field of communications, Huang Yueying has been researching and has made breakthrough progress. It won’t take long before it will enter the application stage.”

Qin Qi said.

Qin Qi's words completely reassured his officials. They were worried that Qin Qi's self-confidence would be overwhelmed and she would make mistakes, which would interrupt the development pace of the Xiakou area.

"If we want to use troops against the Huns and Xianbei people in the north, it will take some time. We must first pacify the world.

End chaos and achieve great unification. On this basis, speed up the construction of transportation and water conservancy in various regions.

Only when the Central Plains issue is resolved can we have the energy to send troops to the north, the Western Regions and other regions."

Qin Qi added.

"Lord, the world is peaceful. Don't worry about this. Our military has made predictions and thinks it can be completed within half a year.

Cao Cao's troops have crossed the Yellow River and officially entered the Liangzhou area to fight against Han Sui, Ma Teng and other princes.

In Youzhou and Jizhou, Yuan Shao only needs Zhao Yun's regiment in Liaodong, Lusu's regiment in Pingyuan, and Gaoshun's regiment in Guandu.

Yuan Shao is under pressure and has no choice but to surrender. Besides, even if Yuan Shao has to bear it, our Xiakou army is not afraid.

It's just that if Yuan Shao is wise, he can reduce the casualties of soldiers and the people will not be ravaged by the war. Xu Huang's regiment is stationed in Hedong,

We can send troops to annex the state at any time, and Lu Bu doesn't have to worry."

Xi Zhongdao.

"My lord, Zhicai is right. Our Xiakou army is indeed not afraid of Yuan Shao, but Yecheng, Julu and Xin are all strong cities.

If it is difficult to attack, we still need to prepare the generals to prepare for a tough battle and not to lose Jingzhou carelessly."

Xun You said.

Qin Qi nodded.

It is a fact that siege warfare is difficult to fight. The attacking side will lose troops and generals. Once the opponent defends, it will be very troublesome.??
