Chapter 381 Exploring the New World
"Explore the New World?"
In the study room of Yuxuan Pavilion, after listening to Ying Yu's introduction, Wang Li and Fan Kui showed a hint of emotion on their faces at the same time.
Now due to the focus of investment, the Daqin Navy has completely grasped the command of the sea in the inspection area by virtue of its double absolute advantages in quality and quantity.
Although it was temporarily impossible to enter the Mediterranean Sea before the opening of the Suez Canal, the Qin Navy also sent many soldiers to use Macedonian and Ptolemy Egyptian ships to investigate the Mediterranean Sea, collect information on the Roman and Carthaginian fleets, and prepare for war at any time. Prepare.
However, Ptolemaic Egypt is not the mainland of Great Qin with convenient transportation after all. To dig a Grand Canal in Daqin can be completed in more than a year. Double the time.
Therefore, during this period of time, although the officers and soldiers of the Daqin Navy Fleet trained hard, they did not have much opportunity to show their strength for the time being.
The only ones who made a stunning appearance were the special forces temporarily attached to the navy for training, and the battlefield was not on the sea.
In Daqin, some officials have begun to question whether the navy will continue to invest.
After all, the expenditure of the navy is several times that of the army.
Wang Li and Fan Kui were also very troubled by this, but they never had a perfect solution.
However, now, the exploration of the new continent proposed by Ying Yu is undoubtedly the most beneficial weapon to answer these doubts.
The existence of the navy is fundamental to ensuring the safety of maritime trade. The real meaning is to expand more sea areas for Daqin and discover more undeveloped islands and continents.
Fusang Island alone has brought a large amount of metal to Daqin. Compared with Fusang Island, the continents of America and Australia are immeasurably larger, and how much wealth is waiting for Daqin.
Although on the world map provided by Ying Yu, the most detailed depiction is the surrounding areas of Daqin, and the Americas and Australia are more general and lack detailed charts, but for the Daqin Navy, they also have sufficient confidence.
With a displacement of up to [-] tons, it can be called a treasure ship of the Great Qin version of the battleship. Not only is it invincible in naval battles, but it is also a super powerful weapon for opening up sea routes and searching for new continents.
Wang Li and Fan Kui soon began to plan how to arrange ships, how to form manpower, and march towards the new continent.
"His Royal Highness, the general thinks that the main energy and direction of our Great Qin Navy are now in the southern region. At present, we are more than [-]% sure of exploring the new continent in the south, and it will be more convenient for subsequent development and replenishment."
"As for the northern continent, manpower will be arranged to explore at the end, but to be on the safe side, it's best to advance step by step. After completing the construction of the logistics base, move forward. This may be more beneficial for subsequent development. "
After Wang Li and Fan Kui communicated for a long time, he opened his mouth to report to Ying Yuhui.
"Yes, you are not fascinated by the great temptation of the New World, but you can still remain calm, which is very good."
"The purpose of my Daqin is not only to discover the new continent, but more importantly, to make use of the new continent. From this point of view, it is indeed more beneficial to focus on the south first."
Ying Yu nodded in satisfaction.
With Great Qin as the center, since Tianzhu and Persia are both in the south, the sea routes and logistics bases that have been explored so far will indeed be more complete.
Although these logistics bases are still a certain distance from the Australian mainland, they are indeed much better than the colder north, which is almost a wild area.
It is indeed the best idea to give priority to developing Australia and steadily explore the Americas, and the follow-up development is also very convenient.
In Ying Yu's memory, Australia has the world's largest iron ore reserves, and the quality is also extremely high, which can be used by Daqin immediately.
Moreover, Australia has more plains and is closer to Daqin, making it easier to immigrate.
With the experience of Australia, the enthusiasm of the people of Daqin will be even higher when exploring and developing the American continent.
"The end general will make arrangements."
Seeing that Ying Yu did not object, Wang Li and Fan Kui breathed a sigh of relief.
Today's Ying Yu, the majesty of the superior is getting more and more serious, and he gets along well on weekdays, but once he gets serious, even Wang Li can't hold back Ying Yu's gaze.
Before that, only the First Emperor could put such pressure on him.
"Don't worry, exploring the new continent is beneficial to the entire Great Qin. When you are planning, you can also announce this matter and publicize it in advance."
"In this way, not only can the development be carried out faster after successful exploration, but now, a large amount of funds can be raised, and the provincial household department is crying."
Ying Yu smiled slightly.
"His Royal Highness is really considerate!"
Wang Li was overjoyed immediately.
Although the super treasure ship is good, the cost is also huge. Wang Li's biggest headache is asking for military expenses from those miserly people in the household department.
.......
The news that the navy was going to explore the new continent came out, and the whole of Daqin was boiling again.
"What, it turns out that in the south of Daqin, there is still such a large piece of land that is the size of dozens of counties in Daqin?"
"Haven't you seen the world map hanging in the library? In this world, there are still many lands waiting for me, Daqin, to conquer."
"Not only the south, but the extreme north also has a continent, but it's too cold there, so it can only be developed in the next batch for the time being."
"It is said that although these places have vast land and rich resources, there are at most some wild tribes who are waiting for me, Daqin, to enlighten them."
"Educate a ghost, these barbarians are only worthy of mining in Daqin."
"Yes, mining is their blessing."
"But my Great Qin Capital is already so big, is it really meaningful to open up a new continent?"
"That's why your vision is too short-sighted. These lands and minerals on the mainland are all real wealth. The various iron ore, gold, silver and copper mines, and many resources are simply incalculable."
"It's a huge benefit to develop it casually, use it for the construction of Daqin, or sell it to other countries."
"These are real business opportunities that can drive countless people to make a fortune."
"Now that I, Daqin, don't occupy it, is it possible to keep it for the development of the local aborigines?"
"The reason why His Royal Highness wants to tell the world about this is to let me take a longer-term view."
"These new continents are the help for the development of my Great Qin, and they can only belong to my Great Qin."
"I'm signing up for the Great Qin Navy!"
"go together"
The people of Daqin were elated, and they were looking forward to exploring the new continent.
Many hard-working factions simply signed up to join the Great Qin Navy, hoping to join this exploration.
