"The sooner we dismantle it, the better." Zhao Jiu looked calm. "How can we waste bottles and jars in a war? But I still have a concern... If the Liangshanpo warships pass through Tokyo, I can just lock the water gates and hundreds of warships will no longer belong to Liangshanpo. How can I expect General Zhang to trust me with all the wealth I have accumulated over the years?"
