Chapter 814: Unexpected Discovery
"Your Majesty, give up. That is our ancestor, the true king of the sea. We won't survive if we get involved in such a war!"
Sakara hugged Gan Ning's thigh and begged bitterly.
Gan Ning had a headache. He knew very well how afraid Sakara was of him, but this time Sakara was so determined that he realized even more the danger.
"Sakara!" Gan Ning sighed.
People are made of flesh and blood. This deputy general who has been helping him out for so long has become half his own person.
Now that this guy was begging so hard, he felt helpless.
"Sakara!" Gan Ning helped Sakara up and looked straight into his eyes.
"You should know that sometimes, running away is useless! Sometimes you can't run away!"
Sakara was silent. He ended up living overseas because he evaded his responsibilities. Now Gan Ning's words shocked him.
Gan Ning understood the danger, but he still wanted to go.
This spirit of facing death with indifference shocked Sakara greatly.
"What on earth are you doing this for?" Trembling, Sakara asked the question in his mind.
He knew that Gan Ning came from the Han Empire, but Gan Ning was now the king of the Pacific Ocean. As long as he avoided war, even the empire could not do anything to Gan Ning.
But he couldn't understand why Gan Ning was going to give up this position that was within his grasp and go to die.
Wouldn’t it be better for Gan Ning to just cede land and become king?
"For my responsibility!" Gan Ning sighed and patted Sakara on the shoulder.
"Since you have made great contributions, if you don't want to go, I can leave some of my men to you, so you can live with the title of Bell King."
This was Gan Ning's last act of kindness, just as Sakara had said.
After learning that Cecilian swept through the fleets of the four major empires in a week, all those who had information understood how important Cecilian, the emperor of the sea, was.
"No, I am willing to follow you!" Sakara was silent for a while and then said, "You are right, some things cannot be avoided."
"Hahaha, okay, then follow me. Our purpose is just to contain them. The danger won't be that big!" Gan Ning said happily.
His order was to attack the coast of Japan and distract Cecilien.
It's true that Cecilien is very strong, but he is only one person after all, and it is most appropriate for him to be unable to cope with so many tasks.
Cecilien's army was too powerful, and they had to find something for him to do.
Gan Ning's pirate raiding is a good thing, but it is very dangerous.
Even if Gan Ning divided his troops into several groups to carry out the looting, if they happened to run into Cecilien, it would be a death wish.
But there is no way. The Han Dynasty cannot allow Cecilian to improve Japan's naval strength. Before they figure out the self-circulation, they must keep Cecilian busy.
In fact, Cecilien had no intention of improving the Japanese fleet at all.
He was still thinking of returning to his country to mobilize troops to destroy the Japanese, so how could he choose to aid the enemy?
But the Han Dynasty certainly cannot pin their hopes on this. They can only keep Cecilien busy in their own way.
As for the reason why Sakara was ready to die, it was because their pirate group could not be divided too far apart.
After all, they are just a bunch of rubbish pirates. Even if they have received training, there is still a gap compared with the regular army.
If Gan Ning did not take action personally, he might not even be able to defeat the garrison troops stationed at the sea.
…
"Why do you want to use such a strategy to test Gan Ning?" Chen Xi looked at Jia Xu dissatisfiedly. "People's hearts cannot resist being tested. By doing this, you are undoubtedly forcing Gan Ning to rebel."
"This is our collective opinion. He is moving too smoothly and too fast. We cannot guarantee his ideas. Once Gan Ning loses control, do you know how passive our future development will be?"
Jia Xu didn't care at all. This was not an order issued by him alone, but a consensus of the entire Government Affairs Office.
Gan Ning is like a lone wolf, which is extremely unstable for an empire. They must strike him once to ensure Gan Ning's political awareness.
"It's better to let the pirates die than to let the people of the Han Dynasty die!"
Faced with Chen Xi's questioning, Jia Xu was not moved at all. He thought that foreign barbarians were not human beings, so how could they be compared with the people of the Han Dynasty?
Chen Xi was silent. He realized that he was the wrong party. Just as Jia Xu said, if there was something wrong with Gan Ning's thinking, it would be a big trouble for them.
"What's more, this is also a test. The Governor of the Pacific always needs regular troops. Pirates who want to become subjects of the Han Dynasty naturally have to pay a price. It is their honor to die for the Han Dynasty!" Jia Xu continued.
"Are you planning to make Gan Ning the real governor of the Pacific Ocean and allocate a fleet to him?" Chen Xi understood the meaning of Jia Xu's words.
"Yes, you are right. The Pacific Ocean must be under our control. A pirate king is not justified. We need to let our own people occupy that ocean!"
Jia Xu put down the teacup in his hand and said calmly.
"Well, in that case, the budget may not be enough!" Chen Xi frowned and pointed out the issue that concerned him most.
"It's not like I have to give it to you right away. I can just complete it gradually!" Jia Xu spread his hands.
"Just keep a good balance!" Chen Xi said nothing more. After all, it was already troublesome enough for him to be in charge of the economic part. If he intervened in other parts, the court would be plunged into internal strife.
Moreover, Jia Xu and his team's plans all have to be reviewed by Guo Hao, so it will be enough to have someone to back them up.
"What did Mr. Huangfu say?" Chen Xi asked another question.
"He can't do it. He can't open the water station!" Jia Xu shook his head. Cecilien was indeed a big trouble.
The only ones who have the confidence to defeat the enemy are the three military gods lying dead in the Weiyang Palace.
The difference is that they were sealed by God, while Cecilion can run around freely.
"Don't the Marquis of Huaiyin and his men know how to fight on water?" Chen Xi was even more surprised. To be honest, there didn't seem to be many people in the Han Dynasty who were good at naval battles.
"If you understand one method, you understand all methods. Marquis Huaiyin can even create a cloud system. He knows much more than Cecilien, and the other party just took advantage of it."
Jia Xu would think of the comments of the three military gods and sigh.
"Naval warfare is different from land warfare. Many things that are difficult to solve in the ocean."
"Marquis Huaiyin had some experience with this kind of self-circulating system, but after watching the opponent's battle video, he quickly lost interest. That was a path he had given up, and it was a dead end!"
"Zhou Yu and Zheng He have already learned that system, but they are not proficient in it yet, so they sent Gan Ning to harass them first to buy some time."
