Chapter 2299
: The Battle of the Nation
...
"Strange, why are there fewer and fewer enemies?" Gan Ning, who was squatting west of the Strait of Malacca, looked at the other side of the ocean and saw fewer and fewer Kushan Empire naval ships appearing. He turned to look at Lu Su, scratched his head, and asked about his doubts.
"The enemy is not endless. As time goes by, there will naturally be fewer and fewer of them. Generally speaking, the fewer people come, the greater the probability of our winning..." Lu Su looked at Gan Ning, who seemed to be at ease, expressed his understanding, and explained the reasons.
The fewer enemies there are, the lower their role will be. Whether in terms of merit or the final result, they can be called mixed.
However, in terms of casualties, their casualties were pitifully low, or even zero.
The exchange ratio of concentrated firepower long-range strikes in situations where the majority is fighting the minority is simply too good.
As long as you find a lone ship that has escaped, you only need to concentrate your fire for one round, you can see the bottom of the sea without even concentrating your fire.
"The main reason is that I have nothing to do, but according to the agreement we made in the past, I have to stay here. I don't know why, but I always feel like I've been cheated..." Gan Ning turned his head to look at Lu Su, and asked Lu Su directly with some doubts.
After all, when negotiating this agreement, the expression on Lu Su's face was very strange. He didn't feel much about it before, but now that he thinks about it carefully, he is afraid that he has really been cheated.
But I thought about it, the person I was discussing with was my good brother Sun Ce after all, so he shouldn't be the one to betray me. After all, his words and actions revealed pure sincerity, sincerity that couldn't be more sincere...
"Oh..." Lu Su looked at Gan Ning carefully, and finally gave up the idea of explaining.
But this silence made Gan Ning realize that he had indeed been tricked.
"Don't worry, if Zhou Gongjin really succeeds this time, no matter what else, at least I will owe you a huge favor, and it will definitely not be a loss..." Seeing the resentment and depression on Gan Ning's face, Lu Su, who understood the process and results, finally spoke to comfort him.
"Is there anything I can't solve? Or do I need to rely on him for things I can't solve?" Gan Ning was confused and listened to Lu Su's comfort, but he still didn't understand something.
To ordinary people, Zhou Yu’s favors might seem terrifying, and it could even be said that wealth and glory are just a matter of a flick of the hand.
But for Gan Ning, who also holds a high position and has power, achieving these things is just a piece of cake.
Moreover, since we are all part of the navy, there is essentially a certain degree of competition among us, and the competition between us is still quite stressful.
If we consider favors in this aspect, it is not a loss, but it is not that strong either.
Looking at Gan Ning who was so confident, Lu Su expressed his understanding, looked up at the fire in the east, and explained Zhou Yu's plan in a relaxed manner.
After all, this process has already begun, so there is no problem in explaining it now.
"What is Zhou Gongjin's plan? Isn't he trying to witness the so-called adaptive cycle, the top naval secret card in the Kushan Empire's navy? As for whether he can win the war, doesn't he care?" Gan Ning expressed his confusion about the result?
Everyone knows the outcome of Zhou Yu's plan, but now that he has received such an explanation, it is somewhat puzzling.
"Whether it is the adaptive cycle or the victory of the war, for Zhou Yu, these are actually not important. What Zhou Yu wants to do is to take advantage of this opportunity." Lu Su took a deep breath, and said seriously with admiration for Zhou Yu, "With this battle alone, we can seize the foundation of the country!" "What? The foundation of the country?!" Gan Ning felt as if he had not heard it clearly when he heard this. While repeating it, he also expressed his doubts and disbelief.
"Yes!" Lu Su nodded and explained Zhou Yu's plan.
For Zhou Yu, after understanding the four forces and the general policies of the country, he understood his future plans, or rather, Sun Ce's future plans.
It may be difficult to become an emperor, but there is no problem in becoming a prince.
However, there are two situations to become a vassal king. One is to rely on the current power, rely on the help of the country, and with the rewards from the country, become a famous vassal kingdom.
The other way is to rely on one's own strength, use the sword in hand to expand the territory, and achieve the name of a kingdom by dividing the land and sealing the borders.
In terms of results, there is really not much difference between the two methods, but the process and the corresponding difficulty are completely different.
"Proud Zhou Gongjin, did you choose the second option?" Gan Ning looked towards the east and murmured.
"To expand territory by force, to recreate the world, to gather everyone's strength, to establish the foundation of the country, and then to establish the name of the kingdom, is completely different..." Lu Su expressed the dreams of Zhou Yu and others with an admiring tone.
A kingdom established through such actions and merits is still a kingdom, regardless of whether it has been rewarded or recognized by the Han Empire.
Even though a great deal of blood and sacrifice was spent in the process to create this great country, its foundation is solid and can be passed on.
The kingdoms that were formed through the enfeoffment of the Han Empire, although the same on the surface, were ultimately kingdoms that relied on the Han Empire for their existence.
Under the command of the Han Empire, a single word could determine rise and fall.
How could Zhou Yu, who has a strong self-esteem and is full of subjective will, accept the former option?
So after meeting Muleh, especially after Zhou Yu got to know the Northern Ship better, he had this idea.
There is only one chance, no second chance.
Because of the emergence of steel battleships, the war will naturally be pulled into another form, a form that is not beneficial to it.
Rather than letting the people of the Kushan Empire discover the steel battleships and fight with caution and vigilance, it would be better to rely on our own abilities from the very beginning, win a great victory and lay the foundation for establishing the country!
"So that's how it is. Only swords and blood can unite everyone's hearts and build a true foundation?! Worthy of being Zhou Gongjin! Worthy of being Sun Bofu!" Gan Ning, who finally understood it all, looked at the calm ocean around him with a smile on his lips, and then the laughter grew louder and louder, spreading to the surroundings.
He really did not recognize the wrong person, and what Chen Zichuan said was indeed correct.
Sun Ce and Zhou Yu complement each other and achieve success for each other.
Unfortunately, this time, he seems to be able to only serve as a foil for these two, but this feeling is not bad... (End of this chapter)
