The rescued Japanese samurai also knelt on the deck and cried and said, "Please quickly bring the Song Dynasty Navy to the war, and I will definitely rescue my lady."

"What are you urging me? Wait for me to think about it. This is not a small problem. I don't want to make a big news. But after the Dengzhou Shipyard incident, my overall East China Sea strategy of Song State was destroyed, and I am not afraid of sacrifice. But within a few months, these five new frigates were the last "cavalry" of my Song Dynasty in the East China Sea. If one is accidentally destroyed, no one can bear such a strategic consequence."

Chen Ergou waved his hands with a tight brow.

After considering Shaoqing, Chen Ergou murmured: "It's really impossible to decide now. The data of the new steam turbine is good, but we are not familiar with the characteristics. Now we will increase the speed to 33 knots. If the turbine fails, we are in this Korean Strait that we are not familiar with. No one knows whether there is a buffer depth or not. We may be eaten by the passing boats of the Korean people at any time."

An officer tried, "We have no time to try the sea, everything is trying to cross the river by feeling the stones. But theoretically, the power systems of these warships all come from the factory of Xu Langshan General Manager. Although the instructions of Lao Xu and their factory are conservative, in fact, private rumors, the remaining margin can scare the factory themselves. This is well known that the general, as the chief engineer, I personally think that the full force from here to the Japanese waters can withstand it."

"This..." Chen Ergou was embarrassed and kicked the captain away, "But you think. I plan to observe it, wait for the storm to pass or change direction. At that time, the situation will reverse, which will be beneficial to our warships. Then, we will raise our strength and crush it in minutes, fly kites and flies these Goryeo sticks to death!"

The Japanese samurai heard it very anxiously and shook his hand hurriedly, "General, I know this sea area. Such a storm will not stop within a day, and it is difficult to change directions. If you really wait, my lady will definitely fall into the hands of the Goryeo people. The Goryeo army will successfully land in the middle of Honshu Island, causing the bloodiest persecution in history to our dense areas. You are the last knights in the East China Sea. Apart from you, there is no other force that can stop the landing and invasion of the Goryeo army. Now, my lady's ship is trying every means to escape, and the Goryeo people are also using the storm to continue to increase their strength. Their time to catch up will be shorter than expected, and they must..."

"Huh, wait." Chen Ergou interrupted: "Are you sure the Korean fleet continues to increase force under such wind?"

The Japanese samurai made a military order and said, "The Pearl was extremely sure! The Pearl that my lady was riding on was Japan's fastest ship. It was not against the wind but was in a good state. But the situation was critical this time. Before I landed in the sea, the Pearl was tightly bitten by the Goryeo Fleet. There was only one explanation: Kim Heechul's fleet wanted to catch my lady again at any cost. The last time I caught my lady was the son of the turtle, and he had already salivated. There was no war at that time, and everyone was worried about face, so Goryeo Li Xiahui suppressed Kim Heechul and refused to do bad things. If she was caught, it would be troublesome. If the lady didn't want to be insulted, she would definitely commit suicide. If she died, it would not only hit the morale of Japan, but also the firm allies of the General Wang Rong, the Song State, would be gone, which would disrupt the strategic plan of Song State."

Chen Ergou got up and walked over, kicked the Japanese samurai and scolded: "Why are you talking so much to me? I don't care about the ones behind me. I want you to confirm: The Koreans are starting to increase their strength under such wind?"

"I'm sure they continue to step up their strength, otherwise their big ship would not be able to catch up with the Pearl." The Japanese samurai replied rigorously.

After that, Chen Ergou's face changed a few times, and he licked his mouth and issued an order: "The Royal Navy of the Song Dynasty decided to join the war! The frigate maintained its established route at a speed of 33 knots until it caught up with the Goryeo Fleet!"

“Yes, yes, yes…”

Sailors ran around here and began to respond.

Like a monster, the five Song army warships began to accelerate in the storm.

Obviously, the current navy was scared by the previous gasoline warship pits. The sailors in the turbine chambers of each ship began to pray and discuss with each other whether something might happen. The speed of thirty-three knots was the peak that the Song Dynasty navy never dared to imagine.

As a red-topped businessman, when delivering the turbine, Xu Langshan also paid great attention to the project that the Great Demon King took to Haizhou Shipyard and personally said to the shipyard and several naval engineers' science instructions: The design afterburner speed must be 29 knots, and the chicken blood status cannot exceed one hour. Otherwise, Lao Xu said that if there is a problem, the factory will not have a warranty and will not take the blame.

This is a problem that everyone is worried about. The training they receive is to "protect state-owned assets and not operate randomly." Moreover, no matter what the problem occurs, Xu Langshan generally says that it is caused by "you can't use it", which is well known.

But there is another saying that although Xu Langshan's attitude is very bad, it is really difficult to use the machinery in their factory. Of course, the engine may explode, but the probability is much smaller than the Goryeo Fleet. General Chen Ergou is willing to bet, so it must be because the probability of winning is much higher than the probability of losing.

Obviously, the machine made by Cao Ji's profiteer is really cost-effective and useful, but if it were his machine, no naval commander would decide to fight this battle unless it was a brain...

Chase

The Goryeo Fleet was always chasing Fujiwara Photon's Pearl in the storm.

What excited King Heechul the most was not just about catching this evil woman. Looking at the huge fleet moving forward in the wind and rain, I felt that this was the embodiment of power.

In the past, under the shadow of the Liao Kingdom, the Goryeo people never found themselves so powerful. Only when they really practice swords with Japanese people can they discover the knight bloodline that they were born with innately carrying in their nation.

Under this motivation, the Grand Commander felt that he would soon be able to survive Heiankyo, Japan. After taking over this important town, the entire Japanese archipelago would become the first overseas territory of Goryeo, and Goryeo would also become the sect leader country, with millions of slaves. He would become the first governor of this land, the local emperor.

It can help Kim Heechul deepen his rule and legitimacy on the island of Japan, just above the stormy Pearl in front.

"Full up! This farce must be ended as soon as possible and catch this beauty. If you are lucky, we will land from Echizen. We can reach Kyoto in five days and defeat the defense of the Kyoto Circle in half a month. But the premise is that I need the woman on the ship in front."

Kim Heechul shouted in the storm and showed the winner's smile.

A Goryeo officer knelt on the deck and said, "The Grand Governor clearly sees that according to the situation of our army landing in Kyushu and Shiguo, the Japanese bastard does not welcome us. They have been brainwashed by the barbarians of the Song Kingdom, dare to resist, and have certain armed forces. It is recommended to be cautious. Huye is not optimistic about the combat plan to defeat the Japanese Kyoto defense circle within 20 years."

Kim Heechul said: "You know nothing about power. One-third of the Kyushu Island is the Song Concession, which is the main battlefield for propaganda by Fujiwara Photon and Wang Yun. After some of the armed forces invested by the Song people, the resistance is naturally fierce. But I know the thoughts of the old thief Lai Tong of Fujiwara. I don't know as much about the old thief as I fought with that old thief for once or twice. He has his own little thoughts. At the beginning, he had certain differences with his daughter on the matters of the Song Concession. In the end, he compromised for political and economic interests and forced the Emperor to appoint him.

The daughter Fujiwara Photon is the "Kyushu Guardian and Foreign Affairs Minister of Song" and is fully responsible for Kyushu affairs. However, the Fujiwara family's control over Kyushu is not strong. Kyushu has a local martial artist's force rising. Fujiwara Laitong is just doing a favor and giving honorary appointments. What really sets the way in Kyushu is actually the funds and technology of the Song State. The attacks and killings of Kyushu by Jurchen robbers, the Kyushu incident was seized by Wang Rong, and Fujiwara Photon cooperates, and these combinations form the thrust to integrate Kyushu Island."

"In this case, it is equivalent to the old thief Fujiwara Raitong who lost his influence in Kyushu. So for his political interests, he tried his best to avoid the influence of the Song people on Honshu Island, and the control of public opinion was relatively strict. Under such circumstances, it was still a relatively inconsistent situation within Japan in the early days, which was especially beneficial to our army's strategy for Honshu Island."

It makes sense that Kim Heechul is incompetent, so the officers of the Goryeo Navy looked at each other. However, they were not very concerned about political strategies. Specifically, as sailors with rich sailing experience, they only care about the increasing wind and the increasingly fragile masts.

If it is a new ship, it will undoubtedly support such tossing. But all old sailors know that the materials will be "fatigue". The longer they are used, the more severe the fatigue will be. Moreover, if the wood is not properly treated, it will rot when it encounters water, which is especially true in the climate environment at sea.

The masts used for a long time are already in a state of fatigue, and they do not have the special process of the Song people. After a more corrosive and humid ocean climate, if you continue to increase the sails under such wind, you may really have problems.

However, before an officer suggested, Chief Chief Kim Heechul took the look glass and observed it again, feeling closer and closer, so Lao Jin ordered again: "Catch her, at any cost, you must catch her."

At this moment, no officer dared to make suggestions.

Kim Heechul is not too resentful and will not kill soldiers, but everyone tries not to mess with him. In addition, experienced old sailors also think that even if the mast cannot bear to break, the sky cannot fall. It is good to stay on the sea for three to five days at most, and it is good to slow down the landing and fight for a rest.

No one really likes to fight because it is definitely not the interests of ordinary Goryeo soldiers, and can only harm a few Japanese women at most. However, it is not possible to say that it is in Goryeo. It does not require crossing the ocean to fight...

"Report to the General! According to the direction of our army, we will enter a 27-degree crosswind state!"

The wind direction surveyor on the Navy battleship of the Song State was not very skilled, and he didn't know whether the data was accurate or not, but at least he could refer to it, so he urgently reported it to Chen Ergou.

When Chen Ergou heard this, he immediately gathered the main naval commanders and unfolded the naval chart in the cabin.

Use a pen to outline the chart for a few moments, and use a compass to move point-to-point between the charts with specific separations. This is like using Chen Ergou-style measurement techniques to roughly judge the distance between the fleets between the two sides.

Finally, Chen Ergou pointed to an island between North Korean seafood and the southern part of Honshu Island in Japan: "This is Shuhu Island, which has always been the destination and transit base between the Goryeo Mahan area and Kyushu Island. Judging from the geographical location, Fujiwara Photon Pearl escaped from Kyushu Island and could be pursued by the Goryeo fleet, so the Goryeo fleet almost set off from Shuhu."

"Our warship speed is thirty-three knots. The Koryo Fleet speed is increased under this level of wind. According to my experience, the speed is between twenty-eight and thirty knots, and we take the intermediate value, that is, twenty-nine knots."

Speaking of this, Chen Ergou looked around and said, "Based on the news of the Japanese samurai falling from the sea, summarizing and analyzing, referring to the distance between our two fleets, from here, it is estimated that the Goryeo Fleet is about twenty-eight nautical miles away from us, which means that when the wind direction remains unchanged, it will take at least seven hours to catch up with the Goryeo Fleet."

"However, we don't have that much time. If the wind direction does not shift, the Pearl of Kyushu, should have this time difference. But according to the Pearl of Kyushu, the principle of being on the wind quickly and being against the wind, suppose that she and us are in the same direction as us, and are in a 27-degree crosswind situation. Then, in my experience, the Pearl of Kyushu will be caught up by the Goryeo fleet for up to four hours. Once this happens, it will be the complete failure of the Dajizhou strategic plan of the Kyushu, which is a dissatisfied."

Hearing this, an officer stood up and said, "Please tell us what should we do? The engine is running overloaded and cannot be faster."

Chen Ergou adjusted the amplitude of the compass and moved on the chart again, saying: "When the 27-degree crosswind state, the speed of our warships will be less than 10%, which is the advantage of mechanical power. It is also a conservative bias estimate. The speed of the Goryeo Fleet will be lost by half. So if you decide to join the war, I think you should abandon non-combat essential materials, including some fresh water, dry food, and fuel. If our fleet can continue to maintain a speed of 33 knots, it will definitely be able to catch up with the Goryeo warship before the Pearl incident."

"Uh..." When I heard that I was about to throw something, many officers suddenly had their faces as if they were under the pot. This is a brain-thinking tactic.

"Hesitate!" Chen Ergou started cursing, "I didn't necessarily want to fight, but you wanted to show off from top to bottom, and they were all bewitching me. Then once you decide to join the war, you must have a knight-like mind, just like going to go to a kiln and having sex with prostitutes. Even if you know that your wife has already rushed in with a kitchen knife, I will let it go, otherwise it would be a man!"

Some people laughed, while others wanted to faint. But Chen Ergou was truly virtuous.

"That's it, this is the order before the battle." Chen Ergou slapped his hand on the table and made this decision.

As for how much supplies to give up to maintain the speed of 33 knots, when an officer asked this, General Chen Ergou replied: "You ask me who I want to go. There is a way to do things called trial and error, and try until it is correct."
