What is speechless is that the Southern Military District did not find the Thailand and Myanmar regions of later generations along the coastline, but went north along the Canglan River and connected with Zhou Yu of the Southwestern Military District.

It's really ridiculous.

Of course, these are all things to follow.

Ever since Sun Ce lost the pioneering mission to explore the coast of Southeast Asia, he has been thinking about whether he could come up with something to give his brothers something to do.

Originally, the training of each fleet was separate, so Sun Ce had great autonomy.

So Sun Ce led his fleet from Panyu along the coastline all the way eastward to Yingzhou (Taiwan).

Sun Ce was extremely excited and thought he had discovered a new continent, so he hurried to report back and take credit. However, he didn't know that it was Yingzhou, which had been discovered in the pre-Qin period.

Although disappointed, Sun Ce was not discouraged. He established a naval base in Yingzhou and invited shipbuilding technicians from Yangzhou to build a shipyard there.

At the same time, don't forget to continue wandering around.

Hard work pays off. Sun Ce discovered that there were small islands every few dozen miles in the south of Yingzhou, and he searched along the small islands.

Hey!
Discover a new world again (Philippines)!

In order to prevent himself from straying into an area that had already been explored, Sun Ce walked around the coastline for three days but still could not see the end of the land.

Now, Sun Ce was very sure that this was the New World!
When the news was brought back to Panyu, the whole army was in an uproar.

No one expected that there was land not only to the west of Rinan, but also to the southeast.

As a result, the pioneering mission of exploring the west immediately became unpopular, and occupying new land became a hot topic.

The Southern Military District still wanted to take credit, so this time the two fleets jointly resisted.

Wen Pin, deputy commander of the North Sea Fleet, said: "This discovery is truly a blessing from heaven to our Han people. The discovery of the new world means a wider territory, richer resources, and unlimited opportunities. As soldiers, we should put the interests of the country first and not argue for personal gain. I suggest that the two fleets should work together to explore and occupy this unknown land and ensure that the flag of our Han people can fly high on this new land."

"Vice Marshal Wen is right," said Zhang Liao, a general of the Southern Military Region, in a deep voice. "Although we are all from different affiliations, we are all citizens of the Han Dynasty. It is our common duty to defend and expand our territory. The exploration and occupation of the New World requires unity and cooperation to achieve twice the result with half the effort. I am willing to fight side by side with the North Sea Fleet and embark on this historic journey together."

Zhu Zhi, deputy commander of the South China Sea Fleet, immediately said, "This mission does not require the help of our brother troops. Our South China Sea Fleet is sufficient. This report is only to report this matter to His Majesty."

The commander-in-chief, Sun Ce, naturally led part of the South China Sea Fleet to explore the terrain in the New World.

As soon as these words were spoken, the others immediately stopped working.

Zhang Liao, the general of the Southern Military Region, said, "Vice Marshal Zhu is wrong. The New World is vast and unknown, and it cannot be easily conquered by one army. Although the Southern Military Region and the South China Sea Fleet have slightly different responsibilities, they are both within the territory of the Han Dynasty and should help each other. Moreover, the resources, land, and even future strategic significance of the New World cannot be underestimated. If we can work together, we can not only accelerate the development process, but also ensure the stability and prosperity of the Han Dynasty. I propose that Marshal Sun be in unified command, and the South China Sea, North China Sea, and other fleets and military regions that are interested in participating should jointly formulate strategies and share intelligence. This is the best policy."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the meeting hall was lifted, and many generals nodded in agreement.

Taishi Ci, the commander of the North Sea Fleet, continued, "General Zhang is right. Our North Sea Fleet is not a group that seeks credit. We only want to contribute to the expansion of the Han Dynasty. The exploration of the New World is not only a challenge to the unknown, but also a test of our teamwork. I believe that as long as we work together, we will be able to overcome all difficulties and plant the flag of the Han Dynasty all over the New World."

At this time, Ma Chao also stood up, and said in a firm voice: "Although I come from the frontier, the glory and splendor of the Han Dynasty is also what my generation pursues. The exploration of the New World is not only about territorial expansion, but also an opportunity for us to show the world the great strength of the Han Dynasty. Although our Western Frontier Defense Force is not good at naval warfare, we are willing to do our best in land support to ensure that the army has no worries in logistics and the soldiers on the front line are brave and fearless."

As Ma Chao finished speaking, more heated discussions rang out in the meeting hall, and generals from various military regions expressed their opinions, saying that they were willing to contribute their own strength to this historic journey.

"Everyone!" Zhu Zhi couldn't help but look at the generals of the Southern Military Region and said, "The vanguard mission was previously taken away by you. Now you want to take away the credit that my South China Sea Fleet risked its life to discover. Do you still have any dignity?"

Wen Pin immediately echoed Zhu Zhi and said, "General Zhu is right. Although we are loyal to the country and eager to make achievements on the battlefield, we should pay more attention to division of labor and cooperation and make full use of our strengths. The South China Sea Fleet has gone through hardships to make this important discovery. Naturally, it should lead the naval battle. The Army should do its utmost to ensure the safety of its rear and ensure that the sea route is unobstructed. This is more important for the overall situation, not for personal gains and losses."

"But our North Sea Fleet is different. We are all naval forces, so we should help each other."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Liao also stood up, his eyes firm: "General Wen, what you said is wrong!"

"I heard that the new continent we just discovered is very vast. How can you two fleets with only 40,000 people be able to handle it? Let me wait for the Southern Military District to come and help."

"That's right!" Xu Huang, also a general from the Southern Military Region, echoed Zhang Liao and said, "General Zhang is right. Although our Southern Military Region is known for its land forces, we have also formed an elite maritime force in recent years. The ships and equipment are all top-notch, and there are also fishermen's children who are familiar with the sea and have volunteered to join. They know the tides and wind directions in the nearby seas. If we can fight side by side with the North Sea Fleet, we will be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort and accelerate the exploration and development of the New World. At the same time, we will also expand the territory of the empire and make immortal contributions."

"Furthermore," Xu Huang paused, his tone adding a bit of strategic consideration, "The discovery of the New World means the emergence of resources and opportunities, but it may also hide unknown risks and challenges. If we act on our own, our strength will inevitably be dispersed, making it difficult to deal with the complex situations that may arise. Only by uniting and concentrating our strength can we ensure the maximization of the interests of the empire and better reflect our responsibilities and obligations as soldiers of the empire."

"Humph!" Zhu Zhi could not help but denounce Zhang Liao and Xu Huang for their shamelessness. Wen Pin also followed suit, saying that this was clearly an internal issue of our navy, why were you, the army, interfering?
However, with military merit in front of them, no one would give in.

"enough!"

Finally, as the commander-in-chief of this operation, Deputy Navy Governor Zhou Tai had to speak out to stop it: "Generals, this is not the time to fight for supremacy. We are facing an unprecedented test for the empire, not a dispute between each other. Although Generals Zhang Liao and Xu Huang belong to the army, the safety of the empire, regardless of land or sea, is our responsibility. The unity they proposed is exactly what we need most at the moment."

Zhou Tai looked around with a firm gaze: "Our navy has been the shield of the empire since ancient times, guarding the vast seas. But today's challenge is beyond the ability of one region. What the empire needs is the coordinated operations of the navy, army and air force to jointly resist foreign aggression and protect every inch of peace on this land."

He paused, and his tone turned gentle: "General Zhu Zhi, General Wen Pin, I am well aware of your loyalty and love for the navy, and I understand your concerns about internal issues. But please believe that no matter what kind of conflict, it should be resolved under the premise of maintaining the overall interests of the empire. We need to work together, not only to fight side by side on the battlefield, but also to support each other in daily life and jointly enhance the military strength of the empire."

Zhou Tai looked into the distance, his eyes flashing with determination: "Let us put aside our prejudices for the time being, put the interests of the empire first, and formulate an effective strategic plan. Whether it is the naval fleet, the ground advance of the army, or the air support of the air force, we must achieve seamless connection and form an unstoppable force. Only in this way can we be invincible in this unknown battle and protect our common home."

Zhu Zhi disagreed and said, "General Zhou, please stop talking nonsense and just give the order directly!"

Wen Pin and Taishi Ci also bowed and looked at Zhou Tai.

At this time, Zhou Tai was also under great pressure. The Southern Military District had already taken the credit for being the vanguard. If it still sided with that side this time, he would have no place in the navy in the future.

Therefore, Zhou Tai looked helplessly at Zhang Liao, Xu Huang and others, and persuaded them: "Generals, please focus on your vanguard duties. As for the New World, leave it to the South Sea Fleet and the North Sea Fleet."

"This time, the South Sea Fleet will be the main force, and the North Sea Fleet will be the auxiliary force. If the North Sea Fleet has any objections, please give up the opportunity!"

Wen Pin smiled happily and said, "Thank you Governor Zhou for your understanding. The North Sea Fleet will live up to everyone's expectations and swear to explore every inch of the New World in detail, expand the territory for the empire, and make great military achievements!"

Taishi Ci also clasped his fists, his eyes flashing with determination: "The North Sea Fleet is united and will go all out to fight side by side with the South Sea Fleet to jointly face unknown challenges and demonstrate the bravery and wisdom of our naval officers and soldiers."

Zhang Liao and Xu Huang looked at each other, and both saw respect and understanding in each other's eyes. Zhang Liao said in a deep voice: "Governor Zhou has made proper arrangements, and we should obey. The trip to the New World has both risks and opportunities. I hope that the South China Sea and North China Sea fleets can work together to not only expand the territory for the empire, but also ensure the safe return of every soldier."

Xu Huang nodded and added: "That's right. Although we are not directly involved in this exploration, we will do our best to provide logistical supplies and strategic support to ensure that the front line is worry-free. At the same time, we also hope that the heroic deeds of the two fleets can inspire the entire army to contribute to the prosperity and strength of the empire."

Zhu Zhi bowed to show his agreement. Zhou Tai's arrangement was very good. The New World was indeed quite large. If they wanted to manage it well, they had to cooperate with friendly forces.

Zhou Tai felt relieved when he saw this. He knew that harmony and unity within the navy were crucial to the long-term development of the empire. So he looked around at the generals again and said firmly, "Okay! In this case, I will give the order. The South Sea Fleet will prepare immediately and set sail for the New World in three days. The North Sea Fleet will follow and keep communication open and ready to provide support at any time. The rest of the units must do a good job in rear support to ensure the success of this exploration mission!"

However, Zhu Zhi came in person this time, and with Sun Ce's intention, he bowed to Zhou Tai again and said, "Governor Zhou, the commander-in-chief believes that since there is a new continent in the southeast, there may be one in the south, or even more new continents can be discovered along the South China Sea to the west."

"Since the brother troops are idle and have nothing to do, why not send more people to continue exploring this area."

Zhou Tai's eyes suddenly became deep and firm when he heard this. He nodded slightly, thinking about the far-reaching significance of this proposal. "Commander Sun's foresight is truly a model for our generation. Indeed, the vastness of the world is far beyond our imagination. The discovery of the new continent not only means the expansion of resources, but also a brave attempt to explore the unknown world. I will immediately make arrangements and dispatch capable exploration teams to head south and west respectively. We will not only be limited to the known edge of the new continent, but also go deep into unknown waters, draw more detailed sea charts, and record the information of each newly discovered land and sea area."

"At the same time, I will also strengthen maritime exchanges with other countries, seek cooperation and information sharing. After all, we are not alone in exploring the unknown. Perhaps some countries that have established overseas trade are holding clues or map fragments that we have never known. In addition, I will also propose setting up observation stations in various places, using advanced observation technology and information transmission methods to ensure that once new land or important discoveries are discovered, they can be quickly transmitted back to headquarters to provide strong support for subsequent exploration and development."

"As for logistics and security, I will work closely with the logistics department to ensure that each exploration team has adequate supplies and strong backing. In addition, I will pay special attention to personnel training and selection, and form a composite exploration team that has both an adventurous spirit and is proficient in navigation technology, survival skills, and military defense capabilities to cope with various challenges and dangers that may be encountered."

"Finally, I firmly believe that under Coach Sun's foresight and careful strategic deployment, our road of exploration will go further and further, constantly unveiling the mystery of this world, and opening up a broader world for the entire Chinese nation!" Zhou Tai's words were full of determination and confidence, his eyes seemed to have penetrated the waves in front of him and looked at the unknown blue in the distance.

"Who's willing to be the vanguard?"

Now Wen Pin was worried. Between drinking soup with Sun Ce and eating meat himself, he chose to take a chance.

"Governor, I am willing to lead part of the fleet as a pioneer to explore the New World to the west!"

"As for the South China Sea Fleet, Taishi Ci can lead the team."

As soon as this was said, the Southern Military District was the first to quit. The mission to head west was their exclusive responsibility, so how could the North Sea Fleet steal the credit?

Zhang Liao and Xu Huang spoke at the same time, stating that the continent near the West Sea could be handed over to the Southern Military Region and the brother troops did not need to worry about it.

So, another quarrel broke out.

In the end, Wen Pin followed the South China Sea Fleet to the Philippines in later generations, and explored southwards via the continent there.

I believe if there is a continent in the south, it will definitely be connected to this area. (End of this chapter)
