Watching the rising golden penis flag flying on the mast, the golden penis with wings spans rose up in the wind as if soaring in the sky, Lei Cangpu looked mixed with pride and passion. This was already the third large military ship delivered from the Napoli King Shipyard in the Kingdom of Milan. The Lily-flowered Milan King Flag slowly landed and replaced by the Golden Pluto Military Flag of the Tang Empire. Seeing the warships lined up neatly on the docks, this pleasure could hardly be understood by anyone.

Ling Tianfang's trip to Milan and the upcoming establishment of the Tang Empire should be said to have greatly promoted the delivery progress of the Milan Kingdom. Seeing that the powerful Tang Empire was about to stand in the east, although their naval fleet was still very weak, as a powerful empire, it also has a long coastline between the southeastern oceans. It can be imagined that the rise of their naval forces is also inevitable, not to mention that this empire has super strong army strength. Being able to get along better than it at this time is undoubtedly the wisest way of political investment.

Lei Cangpu had to admit that the Milanese had extraordinary skills in building large military ships. Just from the fineness of the sail cables, they could see their craftsmanship. Different sails used fabrics of different materials, and even the materials on the sail cables were different. This alone was enough to make the shipyards in East Samoa and Moro learn a lot. The slightly pointed bow, which looked a little different from the slightly round style of the original large sailboat in the Tanghe Empire, but Lei Cangpu knew that although this bow required higher material in terms of ship stability, it could be better in speed.

The establishment of the South Ocean Fleet was affected by the establishment of the South Ocean Fleet, but Lei Cangpu still insisted that he had to consider allocating part of the large military ships ordered from Milan to the East Ocean Fleet after the South Ocean Fleet had set up a certain structure. After all, the South Ocean Fleet had spent too much time and energy to prepare. The seafarers were eagerly waiting for the South Ocean Fleet to show the style of the Tang Empire in their hands as soon as possible, and the intern officers of the Naval Officers School were also eagerly waiting for a real feeling from the new naval ships.

With three large military ships, plus the two that the Milanese will deliver next month, and with the small and medium-sized ships produced by local shipyards, a large South Ocean fleet can barely set up a shelf. Although this shelf is still a little weak, it seems to be difficult to meet the big wind and waves, but without experiencing the wind and rain, how can a navy that can withstand the storm? Time waits for no one, Lei Cangpu is already impatient to let this newly released naval fleet travel in the South Ocean. How can a country without a navy be strong?

After the simple handover ceremony, the Milanese people expressed their congratulations politely. Lei Cangpu also gave him enthusiastic rewards for his sincere congratulations on the other party, but he really didn't waste much time on these empty texts and rituals. The navy must be established as quickly as possible. This is the task assigned to him by His Highness the King of Qin. The head of the Military Affairs Office from the southeast to the South China Sea clearly brought His Highness the instructions of His Highness the King of Qin. The development of the navy must even be placed above the development of the army. The development of the New World route and how to ensure the opened route will become the top priority of the South China Sea fleet that has not yet been fully established.

From leaving the factory to trial sailing, back to returning to the factory to debug and perfecting, and finally to delivery, Lei Cangpu almost wanted to pay attention to the whole process. He knew that this was not something that a naval commander should pay attention to, but now the recruited seafarers had to intern and train on some rented civilian ships. How to replenish naval ships as fast as possible has almost become the biggest concern of his naval commander.

The establishment of the Naval Academy was quite smooth, but the strict recruitment system for teachers made many instructors from the maritime powers of the Central and Western continents stuck outside the door. The harsh censorship system of the security department made a considerable number of teachers only appear in the Naval Academy as temporary teachers. This not only affected the emotions and enthusiasm of the teachers, but also made many important courses unable to be carried out according to the established goals.

Compared with the southeast of the empire, Lei Cangpu believed that the environment in the South Ocean was indeed more suitable for the existence of the naval headquarters. Not only the future development trend of the empire will be westward, but more importantly, in the coastal areas of this region, the people's enthusiasm for boarding the ship as seafarers is far higher than that of the southeast of the empire. As naval officers and soldiers who are far better than ordinary civilian seafarers in both political honors and economic treatment, they are more attractive to these people. The quality of naval seafarers recruited here is much better than that of the people recruited in the southeast of the empire. This is also the main reason why Lei Cangpu strongly requests to build the naval headquarters in East Samoa.

Another reason is that it is the good personal friendship established by Lei Cangpu and the Governor of the South China Sea Zhong Wenjing. It should be said that Zhong Wenjing has achieved great success in the South China Sea, a land that did not originally belong to the empire and the Tang tribe. Not only has it won the unanimous welcome from the Tang tribe, which is a large number of people here, but the most rare thing is that it has received full support from all local ethnic groups. Of course, the various policies adopted by Zhong Wenjing here to support industry and commerce and encourage trade have a lot to do with it.

In Lei Cangpu's eyes, Zhong Wenjing should be a guy who is very good at using all the resources in his hands. His close relationship with the local garrison gave him strong support. His smooth wrists and smart scheming made the industrial and commercial classes in the four prefectures of the South China Sea admire the governor and were afraid. Although the governor's behavior has exceeded his power as a local official, it is impossible not to say that this guy used threats and intimidation to force the trade ships of neutral countries and city-states to the South China Sea region to the trade ships of neutral countries and city-states in the west to the South China Sea region.

The team's method of reducing transit tax and entry fees was successful, which also laid a solid foundation for his industrial and commercial circles in the four prefectures of the South China Sea. His iron-blooded means of treating those merchants who were flirting with the pirates of the South China Sea also allowed the people of the South China Sea to see his iron fist. The use of the means won praise for him and also made him feel a little infamous. But in his own words, he didn't care. He didn't need to be responsible to the people, he only needed to be responsible to the central government and to His Highness the King of Qin.

Zhong Wenjing gave great support to the navy's efforts in the South China Sea. Lei Cangpu knew that this was not just a reason for personal relationships. It should be said that a powerful navy can gain a foothold in the South China Sea. It has great power for the South China Sea Alliance to the east, the neutral region and the East Peninsula Alliance to the west. In this way, the situation in the South China Sea region can gain a more stable development space.

Zhong Wenjing looked at Lei Cangpu with a calm face. The naval commander had never been able to get rid of his style as a naval general. Zhong Wenjing did not think that there was anything wrong with this style. Maybe the soldiers should be like this, acted vigorously and walked with swords.

Zhong Wenjing did not think that the Milanese shipbuilding technology was much higher than that of the South China Sea, but there were still some shortcomings in the Nanhai Shipyards, a manufacturer of large military ships. Zhong Wenjing really hoped that the next batch of naval ships could be built by the Nanhai shipyards, and the water would not flow to outsiders. Under the same circumstances, why did the empire's gold coins have to be earned by outsiders? Of course, the premise is that the level of naval ships must not affect the level of naval ships, Zhong Wenjing can still distinguish between major issues.

Zhong Wenjing is quite satisfied with the current situation in the South China Sea. Although he still regrets that the trade in the South China Sea region to the west is still firmly stuck by Sikkim Island. In his opinion, if the empire can control Sikkim Island, it will be perfect. If Sikkim Island is controlled, it will almost hold the key to the East Continent to the Middle and West Continent. Any fleet of the East Continent has to accept the imperial constraints if it wants to enter the Middle and West Continent. Once this constraint is invalid for the South China Sea region, the trade volume of his territory to the Middle and West Continent will increase in geometric multiples. However, even the commander of the army stationed in the South China Sea region has no ability or power to solve these problems. The naval commander in front of him is also not good. The last time the Director of Military Affairs came, he also mentioned this issue specifically in his conversation with him, but the Director of Military Affairs was vague, which disappointed Zhong Wenjing.

But with the good personal relationship with the naval commander, Zhong Wenjing vaguely realized that the situation was not as he had imagined. His Highness Qin seemed to have an inexplicable complex for the Chinese and Western continents, especially after the news of the discovery of the New World, this situation changed a lot. Even the naval commander bluntly proposed that the future goal of the navy is to directly point to the Latin Ocean, not just the South Ocean. If you want to enter the Latin Ocean, Sikkim Island, the Sikkim Urban Republic, is undoubtedly the best springboard and bridgehead. Sikkim, in a neutral position, should also be the first priority for the empire to consider in the next step. The crazy expansion of the navy seems to have also confirmed this. Seeing the military ships driving from Milan, the shipyards in the South China Sea were also filled with a large number of orders from the navy, Zhong Wenjing had to doubt whether the primary goal of the new empire would be to the Central Continent?
