"Oh?"

After hearing Yamamoto's introduction, Lieutenant General George suddenly became interested and asked with interest.

"Yamamoto-kun, I don't think there's anything unusual about this small island."

"Why is it so famous in Dragon Country?"

"General George doesn't know something."

Upon hearing this, Officer Kosakura, whose full name is Yamamoto Ikki, explained with a hint of excitement in his tone.

"This Liugong Island was once a naval training base for the Dragon people more than 50 years ago. It was also the garrison of the Beiyang Fleet built by the Dragon people."

"It was also here that our predecessors from the Great Sakura Empire... the Sakura Nation, piloting advanced warships, defeated the arrogant Dragon Nation people and won what they called the 'Sino-Japanese War of 1894'..."

Speaking of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894, Yamamoto Ikki opened his mouth instantly and started to talk incessantly to Vice Admiral George.

No wonder he was so excited.

Because this place is definitely a blessed place for Sakura!

Back then, it was here that they defeated the Beiyang Fleet of Daqin, interrupted the progress of Daqin's Westernization Movement, and at the same time, replaced the Long Kingdom and became the overlord of East Asia!

Not only that.

Through the victory in the First Sino-Japanese War, the Sakura Empire forced the Okinawans to sign the humiliating Treaty of Shimonoseki.

Through this unequal treaty, the Sakura Kingdom obtained 2 million taels of silver in war reparations from Daikin.

At the same time, there was also an additional 3000 million taels of silver in "ransom for Liao" and various spoils of war.

What the Great Sakura Empire actually extorted from the big bird was a full 2.7 million taels of silver!

This not only allowed the Great Sakura Empire, whose finances were on the verge of collapse due to the construction of warships and system reforms, to make a huge comeback.

At the same time, because of this astronomical amount of compensation.

Only the Great Sakura Empire can have money to develop education, invest in factories, expand armaments and train more soldiers.

It is no exaggeration to say that this compensation directly led to the birth of the Great Sakura Empire!

The Sino-Japanese War of 1894, which caused all this, took place on Liugong Island.

That's why Yamamoto Ikki regards Liugong Island as the blessed land of their Sakura Empire!

After listening to Yamamoto Ikki's introduction, Lieutenant General George burst into laughter excitedly.

Patting Yamamoto Ikki's shoulder.

"Yamamoto-kun, this is a good omen, a truly good omen!"

It turned out that the purpose of the Seventh Fleet's trip was nominally to prevent the Dragon people from transporting supplies to the peninsula by sea to support the battlefield.

But no one knew that the Eagle Sauce headquarters had also given Lieutenant General George a hidden mission.

That is, to provoke the Longguo Navy by constantly invading Longguo's coastline.

If they take the bait, then after killing them, we will quickly approach the capital of Dragon Kingdom and pose a direct threat to the leaders and others of Dragon Kingdom.

In this way, the Dragon Kingdom's navy can be strangled in the cradle.

At the same time, it can also force the chief and others to order the withdrawal of the Dragon Kingdom army on the peninsula.

Although, George never thought that those few broken ships of Dragon Country could threaten his powerful Seventh Fleet.

However, because the navy has a very long history, it has a certain superstitious color compared to the army and air force.

Everything requires a good start.

Now, as soon as he entered the territorial waters of the Dragon Kingdom, he saw Liugong Island, the place where the Dragon Kingdom’s navy was destroyed in the previous era.

This is a good sign!

After all, even a small-time navy like Sakura could defeat the Dragon Kingdom Navy here and win a great victory.

Then, wouldn't it be easier for our Seventh Fleet, which is countless times stronger than the Sakura Navy, to win?

Suddenly, Lieutenant General George looked at the rolling waves in front of him with confidence and smiled disdainfully.

"I never thought that these Dragon people couldn't even defeat a navy as insignificant as yours, Sakura!"

"But what a pity!"

"The current Dragon people don't even have the navy level of Dayan Dayu, and they don't dare to fight us at sea!"

"Otherwise, I can recreate the Sino-Japanese War of 1894 in your Sakura Country and break the backbone of the Dragon Country people once again..."

Hearing this, a sinister gleam flashed in Yamamoto Ikki's eyes.

But then, a flattering smile appeared on his face and he agreed.

"General George is right. Even our Sakura Navy is no match for your country."

"It's simply a fantasy for these Dragon people to defeat the Seventh Fleet!"

"I'm afraid even if they were given a hundred years to develop, they wouldn't be able to catch up to half of the fleet under the general..."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Hearing Yamamoto Ikki's flattery, George laughed unconsciously, although he felt a little disgusted.

However, reason told him not to underestimate any enemy.

But reason also told him.

As the saying goes, it takes ten years for the army, thirty years for the air force, and a hundred years for the navy.

With their fearless spirit of not caring about death, the people of Long may be able to build a powerful continental army.

However, with their weak shipbuilding technology and training level.

It is simply impossible to build a navy that can rival that of the United States.

After all, as a land power, even a powerful country like France did not have a strong navy.

Not to mention, it’s his Dragon Country…

The Dragon Kingdom’s navy wants to be on par with the Eagle Sauce, unless it is in a dream...

But, I heard the conversation between the two.

A colonel and first mate named Black beside Lieutenant General George reminded him with some concern.

"General George, have you forgotten that one of the mantras of our Eagle Sauce Navy is to never underestimate any enemy?"

"Besides, the Dragon Kingdom's navy may not be as weak as you imagine."

"I think we should be more careful..."

"Black, my dearest first mate, my dearest brother! What's the matter with you?"

Hearing this, Lieutenant General George asked with a smile.

"I remember you were the guy who remained calm even in the face of a force twelve typhoon. Why do you seem so timid today?"

"Did these Dragon people give you some kind of hallucinogen? Why are you talking to them like that?"

"General, no, I'm just telling the truth."

Hearing this, Blake frowned slightly and sighed.

"Not long ago, General, I remember you received news from our allies, the Bald Army, that their fleet of five Fletcher-class destroyers was completely annihilated off the coast of Dragon Country, right?"

Having said that, Blake stared at George seriously and added.

"Although these are only five of our retired Fletcher-class destroyers, they are at least medium-sized destroyers over 3000 tons."

"Having the ability to sink them proves that the Dragon Nation's navy is indeed quite powerful and should not be underestimated..."
