"How many people are not here for this meeting?" Lu Fuhai asked.
"Back to the general, excluding the generals stationed at Baekje Golden Dragon Beach and the coastal waters of Jiuwon County, there are still seventeen captains absent from this meeting so far."
snort!
Lu Fuhai snorted coldly.
He already knew this, but he still couldn't hold back his anger when he heard it.
Seventeen people, that is to say, seventeen fleets are without commanders.
boom!
Suddenly, he punched the podium in front of him hard.
The generals below were so frightened that they collectively trembled.
"A country cannot live without a king, and an army cannot live without a commander."
Speaking of this, Lu Fuhai scanned the meeting room in front of him with an inexplicable expression.
He raised his hand and pointed at the eight generals sitting in front of him.
"These seventeen fleets will be commanded by eight of you. At the same time, the generals of all levels who are still on board will be upgraded collectively."
Buzz~
Everyone in the conference room couldn't help but be moved.
After this incident where the general was detained and the entire East China Sea Barrier was leaderless, they all knew that the East China Sea Barrier would be reformed.
At least in the future, each ship's generals will be divided into high and low levels. If necessary, some senior generals can step up and command more fleets.
But no one expected this result.
Lu Fuhai actually pointed his finger and assigned the seventeen fleets to the eight people in front.
It can be described as simple and crude.
Everyone looked forward with envy and hatred.
Especially Zhong Lifu, the people behind him stared at him, gnashing their teeth with hatred.
And he himself felt even more dizzy.
This shit, oh no, this pie is too big.
I just followed Lao Xiao and ran from the back to the front to take a seat. Why did he suddenly have two more fleets to my name?
cough.
The little guard next to Lu Fuhai coughed lightly.
"General, there are seventeen fleets with eight people, what should we do with one more?"
Everyone below was refreshed, and they all quickly let go of Zhong Lifu and looked towards the rostrum with burning eyes.
A fool like Zhong Lifu can lead two more fleets, but I am no worse than him!
If the leader, Lu Fuhai, hadn't been so powerful in the past and always had a sullen face, someone might have already stood up and recommended themselves.
"This extra fleet," Lu Fuhai's eyes wandered among the generals below for a while, and finally landed on Lu Yulong, "leave it to General Lu."
Swish.
Lu Yulong stood up calmly.
"Thank you for your trust, General. I will try my best to lead each fleet under my command, strive to create the majesty and momentum of the East China Sea barrier, and never embarrass the empire."
The other seven people, including Zhong Lifu, glanced at each other and stood up subconsciously.
"Thank you for your trust, General. I will lead my fleet well and create the majesty and momentum of the East China Sea Barrier."
"Very good." Lu Fuhai nodded with satisfaction.
"However," he changed his tone, "I will make the ugly remarks earlier. These fleets are only temporarily under your command. In the following days and battles, I will work with General Xiao Zhengxiao to re-establish the plans for the East China Sea Barrier.
Methods for promoting and demoting generals."
"In a word, those who are capable are at the top and those who are mediocre are at the bottom."
"Those who can command large battles and kill enemies bravely, your ranks and fleets will increase more and more. Of course, if I find that some of you are corrupt or have insufficient ability to command so many fleets, I will not hesitate to do so."
Hesitant to remove him."
"Understand?"
"Understood!" everyone yelled in response.
"Very good." Lu Fuhai glanced at the chart on the wall coldly, "Now that the Japanese pirate fleet has set off, the East China Sea War is about to begin. As the Imperial Navy, the East China Sea Barrier is our responsibility to keep the enemy out of the country.
Responsibilities.”
"Let's assign tasks to each fleet."
Swish.
Everyone couldn't help but sit up straight.
"Lu Yulong and Zhong Lifu will go south to station in Sulan County and cooperate with the land defense forces to ensure the safety of Sulan City and the smooth flow of waterways from north to south."
Buzz~
Everyone looked at each other in shock.
"Yes!" The two stood up with a snap.
Lu Yulong hesitated for a moment.
"General," he said in a tactful tone, "My subordinate has something to say, I don't know whether I should say it or not."
"Say!" Lu Fuhai looked at him deeply.
"General, my subordinates have never been afraid of Japanese pirates. Once they encounter the enemy, they are confident enough to stop them."
"However, the sea outside Sulan is extremely vast, and now the Japanese pirates are coming again. With only two fleets, the subordinate fleet and General Zhong's, isn't the maritime defense force not enough?"
Zhong Lifu had just acquired two fleets and now received a clear mission. He was happily gearing up and preparing to do a great job.
When he heard Lu Yulong's words, he subconsciously glanced at the map on the wall and suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
"Yes, yes." Zhong Lifu nodded in agreement, "General, my subordinates are not afraid of death, but there are too few of us."
Sulan City is the most important port city in Yunchui.
Rubber from Guangxin, medicine from Baihua Canglan, grain from Xingluo, Yingchuan and Hanoi counties, iron ore from Qingshi, and shipbuilding timber from Yunzhong, Laigu and Luoxia Mountain all pass through here before being transported to other places.
If unfortunately it is captured or blocked by Japanese pirates, it will be a huge trouble.
hehe.
"You two don't have to worry."
Lu Fuhai always spoke his mind and never allowed his subordinates to object, but now he walked to the chart with a chuckle.
"The general knows where Su Lan is. But as I said just now, Ishikawa Taki is attacking from the east to the west. Su Lan is not his main target, so the intensity of the Japanese pirate attack will be there, but it is basically a tentative type and cannot be too high.
.”
"With the abilities of the two generals, they can definitely defend Su Lan, don't worry."
Lu Yulong took a deep look at the chart.
In the final analysis, the coastline of Yunchui is too long. Although there are many East China Sea barrier warships, it is still a bit stretched to allocate them one by one.
Therefore, Lu Fuhai could only judge or bet on Ishikawa Taki's main attack direction before deploying troops and punishing generals.
"I have the order." Lu Yulong puffed up his chest, "After the meeting, I will immediately go back to reorganize the military affairs of the fleet. I will lead the fleet to the sea and go south before midnight tonight. I will defend Sulan and the north-south waterways from Japanese pirates to the death."
Zhong Lifu was still a little aggrieved and confused, but he nodded quickly when he heard this.
"The same goes for my subordinates. I will go south with General Lu tonight and defend Sulan City to the death."
"Very good." Lu Fuhai nodded and ignored them. The baton in his hand was focused on the Sishan Islands.
"It's not polite to come back but not come back. The little devils can harass us from time to time, and we can also go over and greet Ishikawa Taki and his family. Therefore, the main target of the others' attack this time is here."
"yes!"

South of Huayang County.
A long caravan was walking along the post road heading north, and the bright characters "古" on the merchant flags were flying high.
well.
Tieshu looked around, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar surroundings in front of him, with mixed feelings for a moment.
At the end of last year, there was still a war in Huayang County. They handed over the goods and headed south.
Now half a year has passed, and the caravan has finally returned here.
However, most of the brothers who fought together in Huayang County in the past have fallen asleep under Jiuquan...
"Captain of the guard," a guard came over curiously, "haven't you just returned home? What else is there to sigh about?"
Tieshu came back to his senses and couldn't help but reveal a smile.
When the caravan passed by Pinghai County, he hurried back to Pinghai City and finally met his long-lost wife and their newborn child.
He was a little boy who liked to torment people. He was thick and strong, much like his father.
Gu Shengnan named her Gu Tiesheng according to her husband's wishes.
