Lu Yao nodded." Everyone has finished reporting, so our goal for the new year is the entire southwest region. Therefore, everyone, work hard. We don't have much time left. Jingyou has sent news that the Qing court still doesn't know about the news in Sichuan. After you officially complete the expansion, we will officially reveal our name, so we have to be fast!”
After saying that, Lu Yao smiled and looked at the children in the meeting room." Everyone's learning speed is very fast. I'm very impressed. Then, when you go back this month, organize your gains and start working under Lin Ling next month. You can practice and learn at the same time. I think this will be a huge improvement for all of you.”
Li Enfu, Liang Dunyan, and the others quickly stood up and agreed.
Lu Yao concluded,"Then I'll also report. From June this year to now, we've sent 2650 international students to study abroad for half a year. In four years, they will return to China one after another. Perhaps some of them will continue to study, but we're also continuing to invest. Every year, the funds will be used exclusively, and I'll be responsible for it. The country's elite education is a major event in the future, so I'm still working hard!
In that case, I'll leave everyone to you. Welcome the darkest period before dawn. We will welcome the morning sun.”
Just as everyone was about to get up, Lu Yao said,"Oh, right, wait a moment. Four naval generals, wait a moment. Let's hold another military meeting!”
Sa Zhenbing looked at Lu Yao curiously, not knowing what kind of meeting he was going to have. When everyone was seated, Lu Yao said,"General Sa, we actually have a warship, but it's not here. It's in the Pacific Ocean! There are more than 4000 of our naval forces there.”
Sa Zhenbing instantly perked up and said excitedly,"Australia?"
Lu Yao laughed out loud." I still can't hide it from you, General. So, you need to complete your progress quickly. I plan to set up a naval academy next month and recruit students. In addition, you have to go to Australia in March to familiarize yourself with the local situation and the army. I'll leave the situation here to Chen Xi."
You guys have a very heavy burden on your shoulders. Although you can buy back the navy, you can still build it yourself. In addition, our country has never paid enough attention to the navy, so we haven't trained enough talents. I estimate that you guys will have to stay silent for a few years before you can show your strength. So, you must endure the loneliness and polish it well. Where is the limit of the country's future? It still depends on the navy!”
Sa Zhenbing stood up excitedly." Definitely. I promise to complete the mission. As long as the navy can rise again, I'm willing to do anything. Commander, may I ask how many warships there are?”
Lu Yao smiled mysteriously." A fleet, a fleet made up of battleships, cruisers, and destroyer!”
Upon hearing this, Sa Zhenbing became even more excited. Was this true? Oh my god, what a surprise!
Lu Yao looked at Xu Zhan and said," Next year, we have to ensure control of the southwest region. That will require a large number of recruits, but our combat strength must be guaranteed. I don't want there to be too many casualties when the time comes. Moreover, we have to do a good job in our thinking. This is very important, understand?”
Xu Zhan nodded." Understood, Commander. Don't worry, I'll definitely complete the mission."
Lu Yao turned his head to look at Chen Xi and said,"In terms of military, how is the development of armored vehicles? Also, I heard that you didn't report the airship to me.”
Chen Xi looked at Lu Yao and said," The airship is still unstable. It has just been designed, so I didn't report it because there is a lot of uncertainty. It depends on whether the materials and gas equipment are in place. In addition, the development of the chariot is okay, but there are still problems with the power and the external protection. So I don't think there is any hope for next year, but I have already done the early preparations.”
Lu Yao nodded." Very good. In addition, we need to increase the research and development of heavy artillery. We need to invest a lot of effort in this area. Right now, we don't even have a cannon above 100mm. This won't do. This is the God of War, so the problem of heavy artillery has to be brought up!”
"Alright, everyone, let's go back. It's the last year of the 19th century. Let's do our job well. The brand new 20th century is about to arrive!”
When only Lu Yao, Chen Xi, Lin Ling, and Xu Zhan were left, they came to the base hall, which was where Chang'e was. Lu Yao smiled and said,"Everyone is very good. Now, let's take a look at what happened in 1899 in history. Although we have already begun to participate in and even change history, history also has commonalities, so it can also allow us to better control the future. Chang'e, bring it out!”

Lu Yao smiled and said," We've already settled the issue with Spain, so we won't go into the details of the sovereignty of Brazil and the Republic of Korea. But what do you see?" An opportunity! The French and the Russians are both ambitious and encroaching on our territory. We need to fight back. The Russians are too far away, but we have people in the Indo-China Peninsula! Destroy the entire French Indochina, so that the French can't stop. Use the name of the natives and use German-made weapons. In addition, we also need to get some weapons from other countries to prevent us from seeing anything in the future!”
