"Exploring a new continent?"

In the study room of Yuxuan Pavilion, after listening to Ying Yu's introduction, Wang Li and Fan Kuai both showed a hint of emotion on their faces.

Nowadays, due to the focus of investment, the Great Qin Navy has completely gained control of the sea in the patrol area by virtue of its dual absolute advantages in quality and quantity.

Although it is temporarily unable to enter the Mediterranean before the opening of the Suez Canal, the Great Qin Navy also sent many officers to use Macedonian and Ptolemaic Egyptian ships to inspect the Mediterranean, collect intelligence on the Roman and Carthaginian fleets, and prepare for war at any time.

Prepare.

However, after all, Ptolemaic Egypt is not the mainland of Daqin with convenient transportation. It can be completed in more than a year to dig a grand canal in Daqin. In Ptolemaic Egypt, even if there is a steady supply of resources from the fleet, it will take at least

Double the time.

Therefore, during this period, although the officers and soldiers of the Great Qin Navy fleet trained hard, they did not have many opportunities to show their strength for the time being.

The only one who made a stunning appearance was the special forces temporarily attached to the navy for training, and the battlefield was not on the sea.

In Da Qin, some officials have begun to question whether the navy should continue to invest.

After all, the navy's expenditure is several times that of the army.

Wang Li and Fan Kuai are also very troubled by this, but they still have no perfect response plan.

However, now, the exploration of the New World proposed by Ying Yu is undoubtedly the most advantageous weapon to respond to these doubts.

The existence of the navy is only fundamental to ensure the security of maritime trade. The real significance is to expand more sea areas and discover more undeveloped islands and continents for the Qin Dynasty.

Fuso Island alone has brought a huge amount of metal to Da Qin. Compared with Fuso Island, there are countless continents of America and Australia, and there is no telling how much wealth is waiting for Da Qin.

Although the world map provided by Ying Yu depicts the areas surrounding Da Qin in the most detail, and the Americas and Australia are relatively general and lack detailed charts, it still has sufficient confidence in the navy of Da Qin.

With a displacement of up to 3,000 tons, it can be called a treasure ship of the Qin Dynasty version of the battleship. Not only is it invincible in naval battles, it is also a super weapon used to open up sea routes and find new continents.

Wang Li and Fan Kuai quickly began to plan how to arrange ships and manpower to march towards the New World.

"Your Highness, the general believes that the main energy and direction of our Great Qin Navy is now in the southern area. At present, we are more than 80% sure of exploring the new continent in the south, and it will be more convenient for subsequent development and supply."

"As for the northern continent, we will eventually arrange manpower to explore it, but to be on the safe side, it is best to proceed step by step and complete the construction of the logistics base before moving forward. This may be more beneficial to subsequent development.

"

After Wang Li and Fan Kuai communicated for a long time, they opened their mouths to report to Ying Yuhui.

"That's right. It's very good that you haven't been fascinated by the huge temptation of the New World and can still remain calm."

"The purpose of Da Qin is not only to discover the New World, but more importantly, to utilize the New World. From this point of view, it is indeed more beneficial to focus on the south first."

Ying Yu nodded with satisfaction.

With Da Qin as the center, since Tianzhu and Persia are both in the south, the sea routes and logistics bases that have been explored so far will indeed be more complete.

Although these logistics bases are still some distance away from mainland Australia, they are indeed much better than the north, which is almost a wilderness area and even colder.

Prioritizing the development of Australia and steadily exploring the Americas is indeed the best idea, and subsequent development is also very convenient.

In Ying Yu's memory, Australia has the largest iron ore reserves in the world, and the quality is also extremely high, which can be used by Da Qin immediately.

Moreover, Australia has more plains and is closer to Daqin, making it easier to immigrate.

After the experience in Australia, the enthusiasm of the people of Qin will be even higher when exploring and developing the American continent.

"I will make arrangements right now."

Seeing that Ying Yu did not object, Wang Li and Fan Kuai breathed a sigh of relief.

Nowadays, Ying Yu's authority as a superior is getting more and more serious. He gets along well with him on weekdays, but once he gets serious, even Wang Li can't resist Ying Yu's glance.

Before this, only the First Emperor could put such pressure on him.

"There is no rush. Exploring the New Continent is something that is beneficial to the entire Qin Dynasty. When you are planning, you can also announce this matter and promote it in advance."

"In this way, not only can development be carried out faster after the exploration is successful, but also a large amount of funds can be raised now, and the provincial Ministry of Household Affairs is crying."

Ying Yu smiled slightly.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has indeed thought carefully!"

Wang Li was immediately overjoyed.

Although the super treasure ship is good, it also costs a lot of money. Wang Li's biggest headache is asking for military expenses from the miserly people in the Ministry of Revenue.

.......

The news that the Navy was going to explore the New World spread, and the entire Qin Dynasty became excited again.

"What, it turns out that there is such a large piece of land in the south of Great Qin, which is as large as dozens of counties in our Great Qin?"

"Have you not seen the world map hanging in the library? There are still many lands in this world waiting for me, Da Qin, to conquer."

"Not only the south, there is also a continent in the extreme north. However, it is too cold there, so it can only be left to the next batch of exploration for the time being."

"It is said that although these places are vast and rich in resources, there are at most some barbaric tribes waiting for me, Da Qin, to educate them."

"Educate yourself, these barbarians are only allowed to mine in Daqin."

"Yes, mining is their blessing."

"But my country, the Qin Dynasty, is already so big. Does it really make sense to open up a new continent?"

"So your vision is too short-sighted. The land and minerals on these continents are real wealth. Various iron ores, gold, silver and copper mines, and many other resources are simply incalculable."

"If you develop it casually, use it for the construction of Daqin, or sell it to other countries, it will be a huge benefit."

"These are real business opportunities that can help countless people make a fortune."

"If Daqin doesn't occupy it now, won't it be left for the local indigenous people to develop?"

"The reason why His Royal Highness wants to tell the world about this is to let us take a longer-term view."

"These new continents are the driving force behind the development of our Great Qin, and they can only belong to our Great Qin."

"I will sign up for the Great Qin Navy right away!"

"Let's go together"

The people of Great Qin were all very excited and were looking forward to exploring the new continent.
Chapter completed!
