East Coast!

Everyone realized a very serious problem, and the East Coast was not prepared for any defense.

All the preparations and strategic estimates of the Song Dynasty in Fusang were targeted at the Yuan Dynasty that came from the trans-Pacific Ocean.

Even though Zhao Wei used some inappropriate means, he first led Japan to block the middle, and then wanted to pull the Khanate, Ogedei and other Khanate into the water.

However, that is also a setting that these forces are all from the Pacific Ocean and are all concentrated on the West Coast of the Americas.

And now, a Viking named Karen Anders broke all this plan.

Not only does it reveal an incomprehensible fact that the earth is round, it also leads the forces of several major Khanates to the east coast.

You should know that although the Song Dynasty did not have sails on the east coast of America, and some ships and military garrisons developed in the past, it was incomparable to the prosperity of the West Coast.

Once several Khanate came from the east coast, the Song Dynasty did not notice it. It was too late to start from scratch.

Thinking of this, the men in the hall were sweating coldly and their hands and feet were cold.

fortunately!

Fortunately, Zhao Mengxi was alert; fortunately, Sichuan spent a lot of money on intelligence to achieve such results.

Fortunately, Zhao Wei discovered this guy named Karen Anders from an expedition team that had not returned.

"Don't panic!" Zhang Jianzhi spoke first.

In this room, he has the least qualifications, but he is the oldest. With the identity of Teacher Zhao Wei, although he has not been in the court for a long time, both Zhang Shijie and Su Liuyi have a lot of respect for him.

Of course, there are also reasons why Zhang Jianzhi does have two brushes here.

This old man doesn't look at his kind-hearted and kind-hearted, but the traitor is a traitor. He has a trick one after another. You don't know how to get rid of his pit.

At this time, Mr. Zhang suppressed everyone's fear, but it was effective in the Dinghai Scientific Needle.

"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and this is not a bad thing!"

When everyone heard this, they felt relieved, "It's not a bad thing? How do you say it?"

Zhang Jianzhi said: "It turns out that we designed a two-year plan and expected that the Yuan army would set sail and cross the ocean this summer. Two years later, we should be able to pacify the Shizong Dynasty and invade our Song Dynasty."

"But now, Kublai Khan intends to compete with the world and slows down his advancement, which gives us more time. The original two-year deadline is now possible in Seattle for three, four, or even five years."

After hearing this, everyone nodded repeatedly. This is true. As a result, the Song Dynasty had more time.

"only......"

To stabilize everyone, Zhang Jianzhi changed the subject again, "But, with more time, nearly twice as much defense. The eastern coast's seafront can no longer be ignored."

"Therefore, the dukes still have a long way to go."

"Yes!" Zhao Bing nodded seriously, "What Zhang Qing family said is so true, then will the Lords... start?"

Zhao Bing is familiar with the family, just like the last time Daqing Hall, but this time he moved the location from Daqing Hall to Prince Cheng's Mansion.

He was summoned to order officials from the East and West governments and six ministries to go outside the Cheng Palace to wait for the news.

The news came back to the various departments and the officials almost went crazy, "Come again?"

The last time I remembered it very new. The seven-day situation has tortured everyone without being a ghost.

"Why are you here again? Is this...what big thing happened again?"

However, it was Lu Xiufu, the Minister of Rites and Jiang Jin, the commander of the Palace Front Office. When he heard this letter, he was in a bad mood.

"Zengwang Mansion? Why is Chengwang Mansion?"

"Hasn't Zhao Wei been taken down by them? King Cheng is not in Xinya Mountain? Why are you all going to Cheng Wang's Mansion?"

I felt something was wrong, but for no reason, I hurried to the Ministry of Revenue Preparation Department to find Chen Yizhong.

As a result, there was not even a ghost in the room except for a layer of old dust.

Obviously, Mr. Chen has been skipping work for many days.

He ran to Mr. Chen's mansion again and received a reply, "I've gone to Prince Cheng's mansion and haven't been back for three days."

Lu Xiufu: "..."

Jiang Jin: "..."

Look at each other and the divine friendship is activated.

Lu: Not right? What did Chen and Quan go to Cheng’s Mansion to do?

Jiang: Who are you asking? Why do I feel like being plotted?

Lu: I have, but I have no evidence.

Jiang: Then...go to have a look?

Lu: You first!

River:......

......

New intelligence and new strategies are much easier than the time when Daqing Palace came.

After all, that time started from scratch, but this time it was based on the original two-year plan to add the East Coast strategy.

Many things overlap and are policies that are already being implemented.

However, the ease of strategic adjustment does not mean the reduction in implementation difficulty.

In fact, although time can be more abundant, the difficulty of implementation has increased greatly.

For example, ports and ships.

The Song Dynasty had almost no decent ports on the eastern coast of America, and even where large deep-water ports were suitable for building, they had to be explored again.

In addition, the Song Dynasty's control over the east coast was far less than that of the west coast, and the Caribbean's islands and indigenous peoples were more complicated.

In terms of ships, there is not even a decent warship.

Zhao Wei was so anxious that he wanted to open a Panama Canal.

Unfortunately, this thing cannot be opened just by thinking about it, and it is extremely difficult.

Although Panama has only a hundred miles wide in width, don't forget that the water flows to the lower part.

The terrain of Panama is high in the middle and low on both sides. Unless you make a cut in the middle mountain, you can only use a lock to lift the ship over the high slope.

Of course, ship locks are not unique to later generations. China first began to use "doumen" in the pre-Qin period, which was the earliest ship lock technology. The Song Dynasty also used secondary ship locks on the Yangtze River, so it was not that it could not be built.

However, at such a height of Panama, it takes at least a fifth-level lock to pass, which is indeed a bit complicated. The project is huge and cannot be done in three or two years.

Finally, after discussions among the people, while establishing a port and a shipyard on the east coast, they also began to send a fleet to explore the south.

Others were just trying it out, but Zhao Wei knew that walking south along the west coast of South America would sooner or later to the east coast.

Although the land space is only a hundred miles apart, it is impossible to carry a ship worth thousands of tons to the east coast.

A circle around is even longer than crossing the Pacific Ocean.

This is also a way to go. It is always much faster to transfer some ships from the West Bank to the East Bank than to build a shipyard today.

In short, the discussion lasted very short, less than two days.

However, the future tasks are much better than the original two-year plan, and time is more urgent.

But when everyone finalized all the preliminary plans and looked back, they were shocked and sweated again.

What a blessing in disgrace!

Fortunately, Zhao Wei came and used the power of thunder to formulate a two-year plan and has been implemented for several months.

To be honest, including Zhang Shijie and others, I felt that Zhao Wei was a little bit of a big deal, and the actual situation may not be as urgent as Zhao Wei said.

As for naturalized natives, internal affairs, banks and other government affairs, they are even more optional.

It’s been five years, and even if the natives haven’t taken down, wouldn’t they live a good life?

But now it seems that if I hadn't listened to Zhao Wei at the beginning, and if Zhao Mengxi came and they would have made preparations in a hurry, it might be too late.

Now, naturalized natives are not important, but must.

On both sides of the east and west, with the pressure from the Yuan Dynasty, it is impossible to defend the number of people like Fusang and Song dynasties by the passing population that traveled thousands of miles from the Song Dynasty.

"Three years! It's three years at first!"

Zhao Wei's face was solemn at the end, "Even if Kublai Khan and several Khanate will take five or ten years to come, we dare not gamble, and we can't afford to gamble. It's only three years!"

"In three years, even if you cannot fully control the east-west coastal defense south of Seattle, you can only move south a thousand miles at most!"

This is an almost impossible task, which means that the Song Dynasty would not allow the Mongols to interfere with most of the American land within three years. The ideal situation is to block the Yuan Dynasty and several major khanates in Canada.

However, it is impossible not to do so.

When he chose to settle in Panama, no one could have thought that it would be like this today - the Mongols would attack from both the east and west.

If there is any such sign, Zhao Wei would rather give up the population and gold and silver of Central America than wait for death here.
