"Thank you, Commander, thank you, Deputy Privy Envoy." Tang Kefeng saluted Zhang Yuan and expressed his gratitude.

"Well, go and see your direct subordinates and Governor Mighty Wei. They will implement it in detail. I will return to the mainland with this return flight formation. I will leave this place to you and your commander." Zhang Yuan sealed the way to Tang Ke.

"Thank you, Commander. I will make persistent efforts. I will never let the enemy take a step closer to the port. They have to step over my battleship and my dead body to reach the edge of the coast. I will definitely lead the fleet to defend Morocco and the mouth of the Strait of Gibraltar. , will not be touched by ships from Western countries." Tang Ke said a lot about his loyalty.

After all, he is 48 years old and has spent half his life in the military. He has seen a lot of these things and learned a lot, but he rarely uses them.

After meeting Zhang Yuan, the commander-in-chief of the navy, he first went to meet his original fleet commander, and then went all the way up to meet the new commander, and finally arrived at Qiangwei's Governor's Mansion, and met the ruler here, Governor Qiangwei.

"Very well, you have been here many times. I heard their evaluation of your recent work. To be honest, you are a bit inferior to doing logistics work. Now I have a new task for you. It can be regarded as an extension of your work. New battleships have arrived. Although the new main battleships have not improved much, they are faster than before, with more powerful artillery and higher defense.

What I mean is that your formation receives all the new warships, and replaces the previous warships with eight to ten formations. The main battleships of the first to sixth formations are basically debugged and repaired. They will divide some new warships, But they won't be fully replaced. Their task is to cooperate with you to guard the port and the mouth of the strait, but now there is a more difficult task for you. "

Tang Kefeng's heart began to burn with the fire of fighting, and finally he didn't have to do this damn logistics work. Wenshan's copywriting almost exhausted his energy and blood. He was born for fighting.

He couldn't wait to ask: "What task, Governor?"

Qiangqiang Wei looked at him, and then asked the guards behind him to help him up a bit, and put an extra pillow on his back. When he was commanding the battle, he was thrown onto the command platform by the vibration of the enemy's shells hitting the command tower. It broke, which made him guess that he would have to stay in bed for a long time.

He has been lying on the hospital bed for a long time to work, and he has applied for the Privy Council to send a new governor here. He returned to the mainland to recuperate, and the mainland brought new orders this time, but this is what Zhang Yuan announced. He didn't know how the local government arranged for him.

Tang Kefeng's last record has shaken the entire New Kingdom.

Tang Kefeng's limelight is already comparable to that of He Qingyun who rose up earlier.

"Well, it's like this. Commander-in-chief Zhang Yuan is going back to the mainland. The task of your fleet is to escort them back to the Azov Islands. Then the Azov Islands will arrange for a fleet to take over your escort. You can't go far, after all, you are in the state of Morocco now The existence of the Dinghai Shenzhen, but also to prevent the British and French coalition forces from intercepting your formation on the way. To eliminate you is to overthrow the current symbol of our navy, which will greatly shake the morale.

So I hope you all come back safely this time. "

"Yes, Your Excellency Governor, we will definitely come back safely and send the commander-in-chief to the Azov Islands safely. You will not be disappointed." Tang Kefeng said to Zhang Yuan very confidently.

"Okay, you go, get familiar with your new warships, and then send the commander-in-chief back to the Azov Islands in two days, and hand them over to He Qingyun and the others to escort you back to the mainland."

Chapter 24 Let go of the blockade

As the flames of the war dissipated, the New Kingdom knew that there was no point in continuing the blockade. It would not cause much loss to Britain, France and other countries. They could also secretly bring in goods and goods through the European land route or some colonies below. The Atlantic Ocean is too wide. If the blockade continues, the trade of the New Kingdom and others will be lost. If British and French merchants dare not come, then they will lose.

This time, they brought a large number of decommissioned warships of the Navy's coastal defense fleet, transporting a large amount of army troops and supplies. In desert areas, supplies are a big problem.

So the next time is to wait for more supplies to arrive at the port, and here, build camps, open up roads, and prepare for the arrival of more troops and more supplies.

He Jing, He Qingyun, Wei Yuanchao, Yuan Xiaodao, they all gathered here for a short time, and then separated again. He Jing needs to return to the mainland frequently, or other places to collect and report information. He Qingyun needs to continue to go deep into the Black Sea, deep into the Central To protect the safety of the trading fleet of the Viceroyalty of Central Asia, Wei Yuanchao came here once in a while, and then returned to the mainland or Morocco.

And the one who stayed here was the Commander Yuan Xiaodao they valued.

This is a remote village in Egypt, a small pier. They want the Egyptians to react, make this place large, and station enough troops to resist the enemy's counterattack.

What matters here is water.So they stored a lot of water, and sent troops to protect all nearby water sources.

Then we started the pre-war work, contacted the elders of the nearby Egyptian tribes and sultans, bought them with items and commodities unloaded from the ship, and learned about the nearby information. At the same time, we sent an exploration team to explore the nearby terrain and the upcoming canal .

A cavalry protection and exploration team goes deep into the deep mountains, old forests, lakes and rivers.

Then all kinds of things came, and battles inevitably happened, and there were casualties every day. For the Marine Corps and a battalion of the Army with only 3000 people, it is necessary to build and guard the camps and docks, as well as build Docks and ports also need to protect water sources and supplies. They are simply too busy to do so. Casualties will inevitably occur. There will still be fleet support along the coast, but in the inland deserts and forests, we can only pray. up.

Zhang Yuan valued him as an old seaman very much, even though he was injured, he still met him in the ward and affirmed his heroic performance in this battle to defend the strait.

And I hope that he will continue to work hard, encourage him, and hope that he will become a pillar of the New Kingdom as soon as possible, and become an old and strong Huang Zhong.

The Huaxia Empire or the New Qin Kingdom, or the New Kingdom, used the imperial examination textbooks of the Han people’s previous dynasties for primary education, especially private schools, so that even after thousands of years, the Huaxia Han people still exist and the inheritance continues.

The people he raises are all loyal people, and Zhang Yuan also wants to be loyal to these people. Although he is not capable, he is already a high-level man after all, and he will need many people to assist him in the future.

"I believe in you, you performed well in this battle, so I suggest that you upgrade your formation to be the main formation among the one to ten formations, and this time, I think your formation should be strengthened, now all rely on Your formation supports it, let's upgrade it to a super formation of 58 ships." Zhang Yuan said kindly to Tang Kefeng.
