Chapter 351 Deploying the Expeditionary Force to Conquer Japan
Chu Yi piloted the coast guard ship into Peach Blossom Fairy Island.
As Lu Rongdong watched this massive creature arrive suddenly, all the soldiers on Peach Blossom Island went into battle alert.
Only after seeing Chu Chen's figure through the binoculars did they open the door, looking at the huge guy in front of them with surprise.
"Young master, is this a warship? Who are they?"
Lu Rongdong looked at the group of masked men in camouflage behind Chu Chen and asked.
"Hehe, that's right, it's a warship. Don't ask questions you shouldn't!"
Chu Chen said something to Lü Rongdong, who immediately understood and led several soldiers back to the island.
Because apart from Chu Yi and Chu San, none of them had ever seen them before.
Therefore, Chu Chen made them wear masks every time they appeared on Peach Blossom Island.
The goal was to prevent others from recognizing them, since these people would need to do things for them in the future.
Chu Yi was always in the public eye, while Chu San was in charge of the machine guns on Peach Blossom Island when he had nothing to do, so he was also in the public eye.
But it's different for others, including the drunkards, who are currently unaware of their existence.
After Lü Rongdong left, Chu Chen gave each person a small pistol for self-defense and then sent the group away.
He led Chu Yi and Chu San to Peach Blossom Fairy Island.
When others need to be used, they can be gathered at any location Chu Chen requires in a short time with just a word from him.
This also depends on the establishment of those communication base stations, making communication more convenient.
Back on the island, Chu Chen spent his days doing nothing, and with Chu Yi and Chu San, he wreaked havoc on the fish around the island.
This caused Chu San to gain even more weight.
A full month later, news came from Linhai City: His Majesty has arrived in Linhai City and invited Young Master Chu to attend a meeting.
After receiving the news from the street, Chu Chen drove a yacht leisurely towards the city lord's mansion in Linhai City.
Upon arriving at the city lord's mansion, they found Zhou Shixun and Zhou Heng there, with Murong Huai sitting at the lower end, talking to Zhou Shixun.
Eunuch Wei stood behind Zhou Shixun, his eyes slightly closed, looking as if he were dozing off.
Meanwhile, Fang Shuzhen sat beside him, listening attentively.
"Chuwa, you've come!"
"Uncle Zhou, what an honor to have you here! Why don't you come and visit my island?"
"Hehe, I'll stay on your island for a few days to discuss the matter of conquering Japan with City Lord Murong."
After Chu Chen sat down, Murong Huai began to report on the preparations for the event.
Murong Huai was mainly responsible for the construction of the warships.
"Your Majesty, there are currently thirty warships in Linhai, each capable of accommodating a thousand soldiers when fully loaded."
"With the full force mobilized, approximately 30,000 soldiers can be sent to fight in Japan."
Upon hearing "30,000," Chu Chen smiled. If they were all soldiers armed with flintlock muskets, taking down a small country like Japan would be no problem at all.
Zhou Shixun nodded in satisfaction after listening: "Not bad, Murong, you've worked hard."
"Chuwazi, how many people do you think should go?"
After Zhou Shixun finished speaking, he asked Chu Chen.
"Um, Uncle Zhou, that depends on how many weapons you have!"
"If Zheng Jing works as fast as he can, equipping 20,000 people won't be a problem."
Chu Chen was also shocked when he heard this. Zheng Jing was indeed amazing. He could produce so many in just over two months.
"So, Uncle Zhou is planning to go for 20,000?"
Chu Chen asked tentatively.
"Heh, I remember you said you'd help me deal with the Japanese navy. Do you still stand by that promise?"
Upon hearing Chu Chen's offer of 20,000, Zhou Shixun immediately countered with a question.
Chu Chen thought to himself, "They're waiting for me here. But they're just a bunch of online trolls. Perfect, I'll test the results of their training."
So he quickly said, "Uncle Zhou, you know I've never lied to you."
"Haha, that's excellent. Then send ten warships and ten thousand soldiers, with Shuzhen in command, to take down Japan."
Upon hearing this, Fang Shuzhen's spirits lifted, and he immediately stood up: "Shuzhen will certainly not fail Your Majesty's expectations."
After discussing the details, the group followed Chu Chen toward Peach Blossom Island.
On the yacht, Zhou Shixun touched this and looked at that.
"Chu boy, I never expected you to have chariots on land and such warships on water."
"Hehe, Uncle Zhou, this isn't a warship, it's a fishing boat!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Shixun raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself that such a good thing could be used for fishing. It was made of an unknown material, but it was extremely hard and fast. If there were a batch of ships like this, the Japanese navy would not be able to even touch them.
But as the yacht drew closer to Peach Blossom Island, the coast guard vessel slowly came into Zhou Shixun's view.
"Ah... Chuwa, what's this?"
“That’s right, Uncle Zhou, this is a real warship, it’s incredibly powerful, but there’s only one, and no one else can pilot it.”
Looking at the massive ship, Zhou Shixun was filled with emotion.
He felt fortunate that Chu Chen was born in Daxia and became Lao Ba's sworn brother.
Otherwise, I'd probably be the one unable to sleep.
Moreover, the fact that he could kill even a veteran master like Kato Shimoko shows that Chuwazi not only had excellent weapons, but also possessed considerable personal strength.
Therefore, the Great Xia only had one way to deal with him: to befriend him.
"Chu boy, don't you really want to conquer a country and become that high and mighty emperor?"
Zhou Shixun asked tentatively.
Chu Chen smiled inwardly after hearing this, thinking to himself, "Scared now? That's the right thing to do."
"Uncle Zhou, do you think I'm stupid? Being a so-called emperor is so tiring. It's much better to eat, drink, and have fun every day, with plenty of money and beautiful women around. How carefree and comfortable that would be!"
Zhou Shixun felt much more at ease upon hearing this. Fortunately, this kid had no great ambitions.
"Haha, that makes sense. Everyone says being an emperor is good, but little do they know how mentally exhausting it is!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Chen thought to himself, "Just keep pretending, pretend as much as you want. You're tired of it all. You have a harem of beauties, the country is stable, you can do whatever you want. You're just bored and have nothing better to do than think about fighting this and that every day."
Shortly after, Chu Chen welcomed Zhou Shixun off the ship: "Welcome to Peach Blossom Fairy Island."
This was Zhou Shixun's first time visiting the island, and he looked at the scenery and the modern facilities.
He then turned to look at the soldiers on the wall, dressed in camouflage, holding crossbows, and exuding high morale, and was even more shocked.
"Chu boy, your Peach Blossom Fairy Island truly lives up to its name; it is indeed a paradise on earth!"
"Haha, Uncle Zhou knows that I have no great ambitions. This place is enough for me."
Under the gazebo outside the villa, Chu Chen brewed tea: "Eunuch Wei, aren't you tired of standing all day? Sit down!"
"Yes, Lao Wei, there are no outsiders here, only family, so there's no need to be reserved."
Zhou Shixun quickly picked up the conversation, deliberately speaking loudly about his own family members.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Young Master Chu! Yes, we're all family, Old Wei is being too polite." Eunuch Wei understood Zhou Shixun's meaning perfectly well, and sat down as he spoke.
Chu Chen smiled without saying a word and casually picked up the walkie-talkie on the table.
"Eldest brother, third brother, fry the fish and cook, we have distinguished guests!"
