Black Iron’s Glory

The 475th chapter of the roar

Bokal was very busy. After half a month's holiday, he was sent to the newly established Rocky Mountain District by General Scree. The theater’s decision to establish a town on the border with the Nikkan people’s country serves as a market for various trades with the Nikkan people, making it a variety of goods produced in the dumping of the territory of the Nikkan people. Bridgehead.

The end of the colonial war forced the various workshops under the jurisdiction of the theater to transform the product's objectives from military to civilian. The theater logistics department has substantially reduced the orders for various military products, and at the same time found a business path for the production of the municipality. This is also the reason why General Scree is eyeing the Nikkan people. As a friend trusted by the Nikkan people, Bokal has become the most suitable person to host this project.

Mr. Rubyville wants to re-establish his family business in overseas jurisdiction, but he first came to see that there is no extensive commercial relationship in the territorial jurisdiction, and it is difficult. The former Buffalo firm that Bokal was responsible for is more smuggling activities in the name of the theater. It is a signboard on the bright side of the theater intelligence department to cover up his secret activities, and can not bring to his family business. More help.

Although the theater commander agreed to Mr. Rubyville, his family business could take a share of the commercial trade with the Nikkan people, but there was a commercial consensus between Bokal and Nikkan, and the need to build towns and the like. Time, the fastest has to be more than half a year. Mr. Rubyville will also open several production workshops to accommodate the families of the family business employees, and also provide goods for his family business...

If Eriksson’s black sail pirates come to the door, then Claude will promise to trade with them. Anyway, the Hicks Kingdom seized a lot of weapons and equipment, even if it sold some of the administrative officials in the Bay of Lodz, but more of the seized military supplies were stored in the various warehouses in the theater. Claude does not mind selling some arms weapons to Eriksson, so that his black sail pirates can maintain the security of the territory directly under the jurisdiction of the war zone, while the theater can also earn income to make up for the military expenses during the war.

However, it seems that Eriksson is unlikely to make a deal with the territorial war zone in the short term. Claude estimates that they will return to the old nest and sail to the kingdom to plunder the population and property, and then transport the population and property. Will be the old nest, and then go to the territory of the direct jurisdiction to trade, this round-trip flight at least two months or more, the theater has sufficient preparation time.

After consulting with General Bologna and General Scree, Claude was prepared to place the location of the transaction in a fishing port town that was burned to white. The Hicks’ unexpected landing site allowed Claude and others to realize that the fishing port town could be opened as a deep-water dock. However, the rebuilt fishing port town needs a perfect sea defense facility, and it also needs to deploy a reliable local garrison, so that the theater command can be assured of the critical location.

It takes two to three days to get to the port of Patras, which is directly under the jurisdiction of Robisto, and then to Lanhu City. From the sea route in the port of Patras to the fishing port town, it only takes more than two hours, and it takes only half a day to travel from the fishing port town to Lanhu City. This saves almost two days, the battle zone. The commander could not refuse this convenience...

Claude is preparing to place the future deal with Erikson's Black Sail pirates in this fishing port town, and of course the Buffalo firm willing to fight for the battlefield. If Bocker is busy with the affairs of the Nikkan, the deal is his responsibility. If he didn't return, Claude was ready to host Mr. Rubyville. The war zone can infer the true strength of the black sail pirates through the number of various goods traded with Eriksson.

The only thing that made General Bologna and Claude a headache was that the theater could not find a naval commander responsible for reorganizing the ocean cruising fleet. It is not that there are no good naval talents in the territory of the direct jurisdiction. For example, those smuggling ship owners who are willing to work for the territorial war zone are candidates for excellent warship captains, but they cannot let the theater safely hand over the entire fleet to them. Command.

Anyway, this is the era of sails and warships. The naval battle is nothing more than a distant shelling, sinking or forcing down enemy ships. Nearly relying on ships to kill with various weapons, the grasp of who dares to fight and win is even greater. As long as you learn these two points, you can understand what is called squatting, grab the gun position, first make enemy, and maritime siege and other tactics can make the entire ocean cruise fleet form a preliminary maritime combat power...

The most suitable fleet commander should be General Albert, General Bolognik could not do without his position as the chief commander of the theater, and Claude was responsible for the deployment of the two regiments and local garrisons throughout the theater. , disciplinary supervision and training programs, it is impossible to go to any fleet command. General Beechklin was stationed in the colony of the Rhodes Bay. As for General Scree, he was the entire logistics director of the theater and was not suitable for leading troops.

Only General Albert, as the chief of staff of the Thunder Corps, served as the deputy of Claude. All the tasks performed by Claude are performed. It’s just that these tasks can be carried out by the officers and officers without passing through him. So General Bologna decided to let General Albert to serve as the commander of the theater's ocean-going cruise fleet, responsible for the reorganization and formation of the fleet. The result was strongly rejected by General Albert.

General Albert, who refused to be arbitrarily, said that he would rather be disobedient and he would not be a commander of the fleet. The reason is very simple. He is really afraid of water and can't swim. When you take a long time on the sea, you will have the performance of seasickness. Let him be the commander of the fleet. It is better to burn the whole fleet directly with a fire, so that you can reduce the number of casualties for the theater...

Well, you can't make a fleet of people who are afraid of water, who can't swim and who have seasickness skills, and the commanders of the ocean cruise fleet in the theater are difficult to produce. Not only General Bologna and Claude, but even General Scree came to join in the fun. It’s just that the candidate he proposed is not so good. The biggest problem is that he can’t serve the public and the theater can’t determine his loyalty.

The captains of the smuggled ships themselves are brave enough to fight with people in the pub to fight against the enemy. When they encounter pirates at sea, they will calmly get rid of the pirates. But driving a sea boat and commanding a fleet is not the same thing. The fleet itself is not defensive. The goal of all naval fleets is to attack. When encountering pirates, you don't need to think about how to get rid of them. What you need to consider is how to destroy these enemies with the least cost of casualties...

At this time, Claude received a letter from Colonel Murray Ed, head of the 1/32 regiment of the First Division of the Thunder, which was directly under the jurisdiction of the port of Vibator. This Murray said in the letter that he wanted to join the Kingdom's fearless fleet and become a naval soldier, but because he was in a low position at home, he could not be admitted to the Royal Navy professional military school. Even when he grew up, he joined the army, and he has the status of his current status.

Now I heard that the theater is building an ocean-going cruise fleet, so he wants to ask Crowder to transfer him to the fleet. Even if he is a trainee captain, it will be able to round out the dream of his childhood when he was a child. Stacking words...

Well? Crowder looked at the black line after the letter, what is the meaning of this guy in Murray, why should the good end turn into this ocean cruise fleet? The ghost believes what he said for his childhood dreams. He knows that he is now a colonel of the Kingdom Army. If he is not disconnected from the kingdom, he will already be promoted to the rank of major general. This will be the head of the team, what is the training captain, and is his brain getting into the water?

A letter from the eagle sent Murray to appear in front of Claude half a month later. Claude signaled the adjutant Major Mason Hughes to go to the door to guard, and then, regardless of Murray Ed's servant, he dropped his letter on the table and asked him what was going on.

Murray Ed smiled and replied, boss, he went to the ocean cruise fleet is the result of everyone's deliberation, he just draws and loses. Because they were in the port of Vibatato, they saw the Colonel Bok Al, who was in charge of the direct management of the Rocky Mountain. From his mouth, he learned about the passing of the king and the composition of Sterling XI. Now that the territorial war zone has defeated the Hicks Kingdom and ended the colonial war, the king will soon send a special envoy to take over the power of the theater.

Because there are still four generals in the territorial jurisdiction, no one will be willing to believe that they will actively resist the special envoys from the kingdom. After all, the kingdom of Ovilas has rarely seen rebellious local generals for more than three hundred years, and the prestige of the Sterling royal family is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Therefore, after discussing this, I felt that I should master this ocean-going cruise fleet and leave a trail for Claude and them. It would be great for everyone to sail together and occupy an island as a pirate.

The end of the colonial war meant that everyone would not be able to use it in the Thunder Legion, and the Order of the Legion would be released after the arrival of the Kingdom Special Envoy. It doesn't matter to the soldiers, their families and relatives have moved to the direct jurisdiction, and they have also obtained the private land that they have given to them. It is a good prospect for them to become a farmer rancher after they return to the field.

But for Berklin, Murray Ed, they were not willing to let the kingdom special envoys, and they were unable to resist the strategy of mastering this ocean cruise fleet, and all the officers and men who were loyal to Claude. In this fleet, if there is a change in the situation in the war zone, you can take your family to sail, and you will not be spared by the special envoy of the kingdom...

Claude's heart was touched. I didn't expect that some of my younger brothers were so considerate for themselves, but their methods were too negative, only to escape and leave. He was silent for a while, and asked Merried again, really want to transfer to the ocean cruise fleet?

Murray Ed’s categorical affirmation.

Crowder sighed with a sigh of relief: "This way, you will temporarily represent the commander of the oceanic cruise fleet of this theater, and be responsible for the formation and reorganization of this ocean-going cruise fleet. All the required personnel are selected from the Thunder Army and the Rock Corps. Remember, all the people who are suitable to join the fleet are mainly Zhongcheng. As for the skills of operating warships, they can learn from the captured Hicks Navy officers and soldiers. The sooner they teach, the sooner they are released. ......"

With Claude's guarantee, Colonel Murray was very successful as the agent of the theater's ocean-going cruise fleet. Whether he could remove the title of the agent depends on the results of his formation of the fleet. The theater gave him three months to complete the selection of the fleet personnel, and then within six months, the entire warship can complete the formation formation and go to the ocean to go around the task.

It took a few days to get the ocean cruise fleet down. Claude returned to the theater headquarters and took the report of Colonel Bok Al, who went to Wangdu to see Sterling XI, and recruited those who followed Bokal. The colonel returned to the local guards of the kingdom and asked them to tell what they saw and heard on the way to Wangdu and the battle with the bandits. Then they made a series of travel novels and let some newspapers in the territory of the direct jurisdiction. Serialized, after a while, the book was released and finally distributed to all the garrison troops.....

General Scribe tacitly cooperated with Claude's actions. Soon the residents of the various direct jurisdictions knew the tragedy that happened in the kingdom. The newspapers were sold crazy, and the pub heard people from time to time. The words of Lin’s ridiculous acts in the 11th dynasty, the troops stationed in various places also floated in the hearts of the military, and began to send special envoys to the kings who were promoted by the theater command, and expressed doubts about the promise of all the officers and men who participated in the colonial war.... ..

General Bologna was half-dead. He waved his newspaper and broke into Claude's office. He asked Claud what he wanted to do?

Claude only told him very calmly that he hoped that the residents of the overseas direct jurisdiction would know the truth and understand the tragedies that are happening in the kingdom. Some comparison will understand how much the war zone pays for their happy and peaceful life. People must learn to be grateful...

"Yes, but you are a ugly and outrageous! Proclaim the tragic events that have taken place in the kingdom to the newspapers, and let the residents of the municipality directly comment on the wrong things that our kings have done. These will soon become new crimes for our generals in these theaters." When the articles published in these newspapers were passed to the colonies of the West Coast countries, our King’s Majesty would become a joke for those neighboring countries. This is a big act!” General Bologna growled.

Claude stared at General Bologna and looked very disappointed: "I know your thoughts, you are too selfish, just want to preserve your personal reputation, never for the residents of the direct jurisdiction, to make a major sacrifice to defend the territory of the direct jurisdiction The soldiers have thought about it. You just want to wait for the arrival of the special envoy of the kingdom, and then hand over your powers and responsibilities, so that no matter how much grievances you suffer, you will leave a good reputation in the history of the kingdom.... ."

"Oh!", Crowder’s angry slap on the table, with a louder voice pointing at General Bologna’s roar: “You hide the truth like this? Your Majesty’s actions are yours. Do you live in a concealed way? In a few months, we don’t want to preach the jokes of our new king from the countries of the Farrea continent! I would rather have the people of our direct jurisdiction know the number, but also know better. Do not know if you want to be strong!

Also, what do you think the special envoy of the kingdom will be, and you think about what our new king, who knows only the flowers and wines, said to Colonel Bocker, that he does not care whether our territorial war zone is in Hicks or not. The kingdom is engaged in a colonial war. All he wants is to search for the wealth of overseas direct jurisdiction to satisfy his enjoyment and extravagant life. Do you know how many tragedies will happen when you don’t tell the truth about the residents?

When you went to inspect the troops, they advertised to the soldiers that after the arrival of the special envoy of the kingdom, all the officers and men who had made merit in the colonial war would be promoted and rewarded. You know that this is impossible, why should you deceive them. After the kingdom special envoy has arrived, you can give up your power and responsibilities and be relaxed. But what should these soldiers who are deceived by your promises do? I hope that the greater the disappointment, the greater the disappointment. When they are disappointed by disappointment, do you know how much damage will be brought to our territorial war zone?

Why do I have to publish in the newspaper the colonel Bok Al, they went to Wang Duan to see the new king’s report, just want to give the residents of the direct jurisdiction and our soldiers a heart to let them not want to the upcoming kingdom. How much hope the special envoy has! In this way, we can restrain ourselves from the harm brought to us by the special envoy of the kingdom, and there will be no regrettable ending. As the chief commander of the theater, I hope that you can think about the residents of the straight-line theater and our heroic soldiers, instead of just worrying about their reputation! ”

General Bologna rushed in, and instead smashed Crowder’s roar, he was speechless and shy. During this time, General Bologna did indeed say that Claude said that many things in the theater command were delayed and unwilling to be the master. This is to prepare for the transfer of his powers and responsibilities after the arrival of the special envoy of the kingdom. He will not have to deal with these chores.

Claude took the initiative and took over these chores and approved them in his own name. In the heart of the War Command, General Scrim and Claude have counted. This is that General Bologna believes that the Kingdom's special envoy is coming soon, so he wants to decentralize. The trivial matter is not willing to be the master. The big thing is to maintain the situation of the various units and the direct jurisdictions under the theater, and wait until the day when the powers and duties are handed over.

Therefore, General Bologna will preach to Claude, and Colonel Bock Al’s return to the kingdom’s home to visit Wang Duan’s report on Sterling XI is very angry and dissatisfied, and believes that this will bring stability to the territory directly under the jurisdiction. Uneasy and turbulent. It’s just that he didn’t expect Crowder to give him a face. He directly debunked his mind and thoughts, and he was a selfish villain and a liar, only for his own reputation...

After scolding Crowder's roar, General Bologna began to get sick in bed and no longer came to the theater headquarters.
