Very surprised no-one is picking up on, “I’m sure he’ll get the point when we sail them and a dozen more just like them clear up Hsing-wu’s Passage to Temple Bay and start putting the troops ashore.” given the speculation about attacking Zion a couple of snipets ago. Of course the quote both suggests its on the agenda and that it won’t happen for quite a while – until they can mass a fair number (15 suggested) of the new ships all in one place to do it. Not in this book I imagine, so maybe that makes it too dull for comment?
