Among all the women present, Zhu'er was the most surprised.
"What? If that's the case, then Japan must have thousands of warships of all sizes?"
"In this case, it will be difficult to win this battle. Brother Wuji really shouldn't have come."
Zhao Min, Yu Fei, Yang Buhui and others were also secretly shocked. If this was the case, it would not only be difficult, but extremely dangerous.
Zhao Min quickly asked, "Then tell me, both of you, does our Ming Dynasty fleet have any advantages?"
Long Ze quickly said: "Yes, if not, Aoi and I will stop Your Majesty from launching this naval battle at this time even if we die."
Zhao Min's brows finally relaxed a little: "If you have it, why don't you tell me quickly."
Long Ze said: "Compared with the Japanese navy, our warships are not only larger in size, but also more advanced."
"The Soryu that the ladies and your majesty seized last time was already the most advanced warship in Japan. There are no more than thirty of those most advanced warships in the whole of Japan. Moreover, the Soryu has the highest firepower configuration among those thirty warships. The Ming Dynasty's navy is superior to the Japanese navy in all other aspects except for the number."
After hearing this, Zhao Min finally felt relieved: "I understand. It turns out that the Japanese navy only has an advantage in numbers."
"Having more ships is not necessarily better, just like the army on land. More than a hundred years ago, my ancestors relied on hundreds of thousands of people to sweep across the world. Soldiers are judged not by quantity but by quality, and a general is judged not by bravery but by strategy."
"Although naval warfare is different from land warfare, there must be some similarities in the principles."
"In this case, the Ming Navy's chances of winning are still very high."
Long Ze said: "It's not high, but we are sure to win. How can a small Japan be the opponent of the Ming Dynasty? And Hirohito Hiroichi is definitely not the opponent of the Ming Emperor. But, in the final analysis, the Ming Dynasty fleet must suppress the numerical advantage of the Japanese navy."
"So when it comes to the decisive battle, we must choose the deep sea. The hundreds of small warships of the Japanese can't withstand too strong winds and waves. As long as we fight in the deep sea, we will have a great chance of winning."
"After destroying the more than 300 large warships, the hundreds of small Japanese boats that could only carry one or two cannons were no longer worth mentioning."
Zhao Min nodded, but in a flash, she found the loophole in Long Ze's words: "You bitch, you just said that we have a great chance of winning?"
"Who are you talking about?"
…
Just now, Zhang Wuji had acknowledged that Longze and Aoi were citizens of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu'er, Yang Buhui and Wei Xiangjun naturally could not hear anything wrong with this. However, Zhao Min had already concluded that Zhang Wuji had an unclear relationship with these two Japanese bitches, so when Zhao Min heard the word "we", she became a little angry.
How could two Japanese women have the qualifications to say the word "we" in front of Zhao Min?
Aoi was still a little confused, but Longze had already reacted: "Your Majesty, please spare me. I, I just became a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, and I was outspoken for a while."
Zhao Min sighed helplessly: "Is this your first time as a citizen of the Ming Dynasty?"
"That's a good point. I have no reason to punish you. But don't be afraid, you two. You won't lose your lives. Unless Zhang Wuji nods, we sisters will at most make things difficult for you. No one will really touch you."
…
This is most likely the number of warships in the two countries' navies. In fact, Zhang Wuji already knew this.
However, Zhang Wuji was still ignorant about other intelligence about Japan: "Tell me, what level of people are the generals and marshals of the Japanese navy?"
At this moment, Zhang Wuji asked the question that Gong Yu wanted to ask most.
Long Ze said quickly: "The Grand Marshal of the Japanese Navy is named Yamamoto Ningji. We sisters haven't seen him for five years. However, when we sisters came to Ming Dynasty five years ago, he was only forty-three or forty-four years old. It has been five years, and he is not even fifty now. If nothing unexpected happens, Yamamoto Ningji is definitely not to the extent of being old and blind. Moreover, over the years, the navy under his command has never been defeated."
"Never lost?" Gong Yu was stunned for a moment after hearing this: "If that's the case, doesn't he seem very powerful?"
Long Ze quickly shook his head: "No, that's not what I meant."
"The strength of a naval battle is completely different from the strength of a land battle."
"Most land-based generals become famous only after fighting hundreds of battles, but to be honest, the Japanese navy has never fought any wars since the day it was established, so it is hard to say how powerful Yamamoto Ningji is."
After hearing this, Gong Yu frowned and said, "Nonsense, since we haven't fought any wars, why do we need to build such a large navy?"
Long Zeyan said: "Your Majesty, I am telling the truth. Japan is not a big country, as you know. If you say that their navy has fought a war, then who did they fight against?"
"The Japanese navy has been prepared for invasion since the day it was established. The vast majority of ships, large and small, in the navy were built in batches during the reign of each emperor. Although they have many warships, their quality varies, and the time span is definitely more than 50 years."
"In the past few decades, every emperor actually wanted to invade Middle-earth, but due to the internal instability in Japan, it was delayed until now, until the current Emperor Hirohito unified it. Then, six or seven years ago, he ordered his generals to lead an army of 200,000 to invade Middle-earth."
"Over the years, although there have been regime changes in Japan, their navy has mostly been watching the fire from the other side of the river. They will be loyal to whoever controls the Japanese mainland."
Gong Yu was a little confused: "Didn't their navy participate in the change of internal regime in Japan?"
"Yes," Long Ze said quickly, "Without participation, there will be no war for them. The Japanese navy has been protecting itself for so many years, but this is not because they completely want to protect themselves, but because they have no choice."
"It is not easy for the navy to get involved in matters on land. For example, if there is a rebellion in the Ming Dynasty, can the navy's warships really sail onto land?"
"How dare you!" Gong Yu shouted, "How can a small country like Japan compare with the importance of the navy in the Ming Dynasty?"
"In the territory of our Ming Dynasty, there are many rivers and the importance of the navy is self-evident. How can it be compared with your few small islands?"
