Chapter 1111 – Yanhuo Yaonie’s Suggestion
9th month, 27th day, Shanhai City.
Indian Ocean Squadron Fleet Admiral Yanhuo Yaonie and Atlantic Squadron Fleet Admiral Alvaro were summoned by the king to the capital. Along with them was the Navy Admiral Zheng He.
Administrative Mentor Court head secretary Zhang Liang was present too.
Within the Imperial Reading Room, Ouyang Shuo was really happy, smiling as he looked at the two generals, “Sit down. Both of you have helped the Imperial Court defend an ocean region. You have all done so much.”
Alvaro was a really experienced general and was familiar with the Mediterranean Ocean situation. As a result, taking charge of the Atlantic Squadron was not too difficult for him.
However, he had to face so many Lords in the Mediterranean and also the threat of Dawson Dynasty Jack Squadron, so he was walking on thin ice.
The one who developed the fastest was Yanhuo Yaonie.
He was the only player navy general in Great Xia. In just three short years, he grew to become a Fleet Admiral, helping Great Xia take charge of an ocean region.
The youth from before had completely disappeared.
What replaced it was a tanned face that was scorched by the sun. It was a face of determination, a very calm and stable demeanor and maturing commanding talent.
Especially after Huang Gai entered the Indian Ocean, he grew swiftly, expressing his personal talent and uniqueness all to the maximum.
Till date, Yanhuo Yaonie was already a passable Fleet Admiral.
“We do not dare to accept such praise from the king!”
To gain the king’s recognition, the two of them were really emotional.
Yanhuo Yaonie felt even more complicated in his heart. He felt really fortunate that he had made that choice three years ago, placing down the pride of being a Lord to join the Shanhai City camp.
The Shanhai City of that time had just carefully walked out of the Lianzhou Basin and was just a little dot in the southwest, owning just one prefecture of land. In just three short years, they had expanded 20 to 30 times the size.
And him, he went from that small Lord into a giant.
In comparison, the other Leizhou Prefecture Lords all disappeared. The one who did best was just the leader of a chamber of commerce, and his position and status could not be compared to Yanhuo Yaonie.
Ouyang Shuo was not in a rush to get straight into the topic, happily discussing with the two generals about interesting matters. Along with Great Xia growing bigger and bigger, Ouyang Shuo did not have time to tour the land.
Especially like the Atlantic Squadron, which defended the ocean so far away, he had even less chances to come into contact. Usually, he could only understand what was roughly going on through reports.
The five squadrons and their generals that had been promoted did not even have a chance to meet with their king.
“That is not good!”
Ouyang Shuo had decided that he needed to take time to go down to the various militaries, prefectures, and counties. Otherwise, he would become dissociated from his people.
After talking for an hour, only then did Ouyang Shuo say, “The two of you, let’s talk about the negative impacts of the TWP and how to minimize it.”
“Yanhuo Yaonie, you can start.”
Hearing that, Yanhuo Yaonie was not afraid. He slowly got up and cupped his fist, “Before stating my suggestion, I would like to apologize to the king!” After staying in the military for so long, Yanhuo Yaonie had adopted their style.
“What for?” Ouyang Shuo was confused.
“Sri Lanka was within the jurisdiction of my squadron. For them to join India without me knowing, I’ve failed my job. I’m willing to be punished.”
When Ouyang Shuo heard that, he sighed and said, “You truly did drop your guard regarding this matter. Since that’s the case, you’re docked half a year’s pay as punishment!” In the military, rewards and punishment were clear, so Ouyang Shuo naturally would not break their rules.
“Yes, my king!”
Since Yanhuo Yaonie had already volunteered to be punished, if Ouyang Shuo did not punish him, he would not be able to stand up in the army.
“Since you have been punished, talk about your suggestions. In your eyes, is it feasible to attack Sri Lanka?” Ouyang Shuo placed the matter aside, as this was not only Yanhuo Yaonie’s responsibility.
Even if he had noticed it, the Peacock Dynasty had planned for long, and he would not be able to do anything.
Yanhuo Yaonie’s attitude was clear, “I do not agree attacking with them now. Be it the opportunity or the terms, the time is not right.”
“In your eyes, how should we solve the replenishment problem of the squadron and merchants in the Indian Ocean?”
When Yanhuo Yaonie heard that, he quickly moved to the map and pointed at the Indian Ocean. He pointed at the region to the bottom left of India, “My king, look at this!”
Ouyang Shuo frowned as his eyes revealed a confused look. It was like something had flashed across his brain, but he could not recall what was so special about this.
When Zhang Liang saw that, he asked, “It’s an empty ocean region, what’s so special about it?”
Yanhuo Yaonie smiled and explained, “Elder might not know, but despite being empty on the map, in truth, this place is known as Maldives. It is an island chain formed from 1200 small coral islands.”
“I see!”
Ouyang Shuo was stunned. No wonder it looked so familiar.
The coral islands were like stars that fell from the sky. Compared to the vast ocean, it was like specks of dust, which was why the cartographers did not bother to place them on the map.
Yanhuo Yaonie had spent so much time patrolling the Indian Ocean, so he was really familiar with the area.
At this stage, Ouyang Shuo understood Yanhuo Yaonie’s intentions, and his eyes lit up, “So we should swiftly take down Maldives before India notices to replace Sri Lanka as our resource point in the Indian Ocean?”
“The king is wise!” Yanhuo Yaonie nodded his head.
“That is a good choice!”
In reality, most of the islands on Maldives were too small and not suitable for human life. Out of the 1200 islands, only 202 were habitable.
As there was a limited amount of land, their farming and animal husbandry industries were not developed, and even freshwater provisions were a problem.
Such a small country was not suitable to be the center of voyage trading.
But the game world was different.
After the map was expanded 10 times, Maldives had the ability to support passing ships with vegetables, meat, freshwater, and the like whilst also providing maintenance work.
Furthermore, as Maldives was listed as a game region, it did have an imperial city. Since it did, it had a teleportation formation, so it could obtain help from Shanhai City.
“Yanhuo Yaonie, receive my orders!” Ouyang Shuo made up his mind.
