Chapter 156 War Mobilization

To be honest, the coast guard fleets, from shipbuilding to combat, all took the Portuguese as their division.

Now the apprentice has to challenge the master, and the other party has a much larger number of people and warships. Although most of them are mobs, with the other party's deep understanding of naval warfare, they will definitely make good use of this huge number advantage and create some new tricks.

Of course, the quality and weapons and equipment of the coast guard officers must be advantageous. However, with this advantage alone, even the crazy Wang Rulong dared not win easily!

"After learning about the convenience of Macau, my first reaction was to not take risks, wait." Zhao Hao stood firm and looked at Haitian in the distance and said:

"But another voice told me that this year is the best window period before the end of the year. Now, Macau has only one more escort fleet and two large sailboats. Next year, we may have to face ten large sailboats, and the battle will be even more impossible. By then, we will have to spit out all the food we eat, not to mention, Jiangnan Shipyard and Danluo Guard Area will be in danger."

"Yes." Wang Rulong nodded deeply and said, "If the Red-haired Ghost decides to send the main fleet to the Ming Dynasty, we must completely clean up our maritime power before we can stop."

"And what about us?" Zhao Hao said in a deep voice: "Due to his weak foundation, he still cannot provide enough troops to compete with the Malacca fleet next year, and he cannot fight them at sea. Even if he can use geographical and human sea tactics to kill them like the Battle of Tuen Mun and the Battle of West Cat Bay, our coast will be ruined by them, and no one can afford this responsibility!"

After repeated lessons, he no longer regarded another period of history as inevitable. In that time and space, no one named Zhao Hao humiliated the Portuguese so much, nor did he have a powerful coast guard fleet to stop them from trading with Japan.

Therefore, the Portuguese behavior will definitely not follow the original history. But history is still useful, and it can also help Zhao Hao understand the enemy's nature and guess their reactions-

The Spanish colonial activities in Luzon, especially the large-scale sailing trade this year, will definitely put great pressure on the Portuguese. In order to avoid being squeezed out of the Far East, they will do their best to eliminate powerful challengers and restore Japanese trade!

Someone wants to ask, why don’t you sit down and talk? Isn’t it okay to join forces with the Portuguese to drive Spain out? First, they are fellow villagers of the same race and religion; secondly, the barbaric creature like the invader will always only know how strong it is. If you don’t hurt him and hurt him, let him know how powerful you are, he will not talk to you well!

"So I have made up my mind to do my best to fight this battle!" Finally, Zhao Hao said in a deep voice: "I would rather bear huge losses, even the possibility of failure than destroy the Portuguese fleet and take back Macau!"

"Yes." Wang Rulong hurriedly said: "I will complete the task to the death!"

~~

Although Mr. Zhao has made up his mind, given that the enemy is unprecedentedly powerful, he must be very cautious in tactical terms.

In the afternoon of the same day, after convening a high-level police meeting, Zhao Hao immediately ordered Ma Xianglan to draft a first-level combat readiness order. After signing, he immediately sent the pigeons from Penghu Station to the headquarters of Suzhou Group two thousand miles away!

Before night the next day, the carefully fed pigeons flew to the Jiangnan Building located in Qilishantang.

Seeing the red bamboo tube on the legs of the pigeon, the duty staff immediately notified President Jiang who had just rested.

During the year when Zhao Hao was away, Jiang Xueying felt lonely and could only devote herself to work. In addition, the group's affairs were indeed too busy, so she rarely went back to Lengxiangyuan in the city to live. So she moved daily necessities to Zhao Hao's office. She worked in her office during the day and went to the big bed in the opposite brother's room at night.

At this moment, she had just taken off her makeup under Xiao Yuner's service and lay tired on the big bed and wandered around the South.

As long as she imagines her brother's wandering on the sea, she will not feel any pain at all.

Suddenly, a rapid knock on the door sounded outside, and the guard reported in a deep voice: "There is a red emergency report from Penghu Station!"

Jiang Xueying looked furious when she heard this. In the group's communication system, the red emergency report represents a hundred thousand urgent news! It is equivalent to the court's 800 miles of expedited!

She immediately sat up, put her hair behind her head, and walked out of the inner room with a serious expression, took the bamboo tube presented by Xiao Yuner. She first saw the fire lacquer mark on her head under the light, and confirmed that it was correct and not damaged, then she used her nails to pinch the fire lacquer and pulled out the small piece of paper inside.

Zhao Hao had already introduced a ciphertext system, and this level of letter is naturally encrypted. Xiao Yuner immediately opened the safe, took out the password book, and Jiang Xueying quickly searched.

After a few breaths, she read Zhao Hao's order and immediately ordered in a deep voice: "Convene all high-level meetings immediately!"

Xiao Yun'er quickly told Mi Li, the director of the president's office sleeping next door. Mi Li immediately asked someone to inform the participants to return to Jiangnan Building within an hour.

According to Zhao Hao's regulations, all subsidiaries of the group must have a senior executive with a deputy general manager or above at the headquarters at any time. So an hour later, the senior executives of the group and executives of various companies in Suzhou sat in the brightly lit conference hall.

Taking advantage of this period, Jiang Xueying has washed it again and completed the work assignment plan.

Her big eyes were shining under the methane air lamp, and she was already in a state of fighting!

~~

The group mobilization meeting ended until the fourth update.

As soon as the sky was dawn, the senior executives of the group and the executives of various companies went on preparations in accordance with the order issued by President Jiang...

Xishan Island Arsenal.

The heavily guarded arsenal finally opened the heavy iron door, and each one was sealed with grease and kept on a thick jujube wood shelf.

Zhang Jian looked at the workers of the arsenal with a serious expression and passed the thick rope through the iron rings on the shelf. After fixing it, he used the human-power crane mouth hanger he invented to hang various types of long and short cannons into a large rail car.

The track car is a double-hand press type, using extremely simple lever, crankshaft, and gear device to drive four iron wheels to move forward and backward on the rails. It has been widely used in Xishan Island and Changguang Coal Mine.

Workers operated human rail cars and moved the 500 cannons, 10,000 various shells in Warehouse No. 1, and 10,000 Longqing-style bullets in Warehouse No. 3, and 200,000 fixed-load bullets along the long track to the special dock for the arsenal outside the mountain, where they loaded ships out of Taihu Lake, and sent them to the Jiangnan shipping fleet waiting in Pudong.

"Is that all?" he asked Zhao Shizhen beside him.

"There are still 500 cannons in Warehouse No. 2 and 10,000 shells." Zhao Shizhen, who is also the director of the arsenal, said: "You don't need to transport them all at once, right? I see that the Oda City rockets and Chacha grenades in Warehouse No. 4 are more useful."

"Yeah." Zhang Jian nodded. Master finally saved up this little fortune, so how could he lose all of it in one go? "Transfer the shells from Warehouse No. 2. Forget the cannons, there are still five hundred doors in the arsenal in the Danluo garrison area. Let's adjust the ones there first..."

He then ordered Zhao Shizhen in a deep voice: "Have you pulled up the production capacity?"

"It's already full. You can cast ten gates of Hongwu, Yongle, Hongxi and Xuande every day!" Zhao Shizhen smiled and said, "After I go to the south, don't lose your production capacity."

"How is that possible?" Zhang Jian said with a faint smile. He said to Zhao Shizhen with some envy: "If you are worried, you can keep me?"

"How is it possible?" Zhao Shizhen returned the original sentence.

Jiangnan Chemical Gunpowder Factory on Xishan Island—

The workers took buckets of pelleted black gunpowder and gently carried them onto a special transport ship.

Jiangnan Textile Cotton Textile Company Warehouse in Songjiang—

Batches of white cotton gauze were carried out, and bags of white cotton were also carried out and loaded onto a transport ship.

In the Jiangnan Hospital in Kunshan—

Wanmizhai and Li Shizhen dispatched 200 medical staff from the hospital and the medical school to form a medical team. Li Lunming personally led the team to board a transport ship full of first aid medicines and medical devices.

Jiangnan Development Corporation—

Wang Mengxiang recruited volunteer workers from construction teams of various development companies and farms in various counties, and went south to support with the transport fleet. Because the publicity was in place before, the group knew that the Ryukyu merchant station was burned and the Red-haired ghost invaded, and also knew that the coast guard fleet was avenging his colleagues and defending the survival space of the Jiangnan Group. As a result, the workers and farmers and workers were surprisingly enthusiastic, rushing to join the south to reinforcements. They even fought for the 10-to-1 quota!

This scene shocked Wang Mengxiang and others to get angry. Especially the performance of those farmers and workers was very different from the image of refugees who were numb and cold in their impression, as if their hearts were dead.

"When did they become so enthusiastic?" Wang Shimao said in extremely shocked: "I'm afraid that the old Qin mentioned in the history books is just like this, right?"

"It's only been more than two years, and these people have completely changed in the hands of the young master." Wang Mengxiang also sighed infinitely: "When time, the people of Jiangnan have become like this, who else is the enemy in the world?"

"..." Wang Shimao did not dare to take him over.

~~

Similar situations occurred in various subsidiaries of Jiangnan Group. Various materials were continuously transported from all over the country to Pudong. At the largest freight terminal newly built in China this year, Popeye cranes were transferred to Dafu ships of two thousand materials.

In just four days, a large transport team of fifty big lucky ships completed the loading.

Chen Huaixiu personally led the fleet out of the Huangpu River into the sea. With the north wind and the cold current along the coast, he sailed smoothly to Chaozhou!

Earlier, Zhu Jue also led his reinforcement fleet drawn from various water police stations and coast guard schools to transport supplies from the Danluo garrison area south.

Naba Port, Rong Sheng, who was responsible for guarding the logistics base, personally sent Zheng Feng to lead the Ryukyu navy to the south to reinforce...
