Liu Ye'er went to see Zheng Daye once again and asked with concern, "Old Zheng, what is the current military situation?" Zheng Daye replied with a grave expression, "Our military has now completely secured control over the Mediterranean and the North Atlantic, while Goguryeo and the Outer Xing'an Mountains are also firmly in our hands. As for the north, apart from the distant Arctic and the crafty Wa Country, all other regions have been brought under our control."
Liu Ye'er immediately pressed on, "Is the action plan for the next phase ready?" Zheng Daye nodded and said, "Both the western expedition and the northern campaign have ended in victory. Our next targets are the eastern expedition to Wa Country and the southern advance into Nanyang. These two regions are our future directions of advance."
Hearing this, Cheng Guodong pondered for a moment before saying, "Given the generational gap in our military strength, this war shouldn't be too difficult. However, to boost our combat effectiveness, I'd like to recruit more new soldiers so we can fight and train at the same time." Zheng Daye agreed, "That's a good idea. Pair veterans with recruits so the experienced soldiers can mentor the newcomers, allowing them to grow faster."
