Cosma Empire

The Navy's annual summary meeting is not like the Army's mid-year meeting, which reflects the excellent style of the military at a glance. The Navy here is more like a business meeting.

Of course, this also has a lot to do with the attitude of some high-level navy officials who were demoted and the current high-level navy. In order to ensure that the high-level navy will not be purged because of "fear of war", some naval generals took the initiative to stand up and shoulder the responsibility. superior.

The royal family was very angry with their behavior, and dismissed all senior naval generals, and gave the navy the most severe punishment-reducing the annual military appropriation.

Perhaps it was the last madness. The defeated royal family shirked the outcome of the Civil War to the navy, thinking that the main reason why the war was lost was that the navy did not play a sufficient role. If the navy can break through the federation's blockade on the sea and directly attack the federation's coastal cities, or even land, it will be enough to turn the tide of the war in the early stages of the war.

But the fact is that the navy did not do very well, but it was not that bad either. At least the federal navy was intercepted on the sea, and the federal navy was not allowed to plunder the east coast and expand its advantage. Their performance has passed.

You must know that if the federation can supply supplies by sea, maybe there will be no such thing as the empire and the royal family now, and everyone will be their own!

The dissatisfaction with the imperial family made the navy collectively very dissatisfied. Those generals who were dismissed did not return to the navy after Magus overthrew the rule of the royal family. Instead, they used their reputation and connections in the navy to start a business.

At present, the largest shipping companies in the empire are almost all controlled by these retired admirals, and a large part of their operating profits are used to support the navy's military expenses. In addition, the navy still has its own business, which has allowed the navy to maintain its current size without the Ministry of Defense's appropriation, and has not declined.

Here I have to mention that the new government and the navy had contact at the earliest. Their request was that the navy give up its business, stop accepting external financial assistance, and at the same time reduce the size of the navy. current situation.

In the words of those generals, they can take off their military caps and uniforms and become ordinary people, but the establishment, size, and autonomy of the navy must not be shaken. This is the persistence and reliance of the entire navy.

As soon as Lieutenant General Chris led Durin into the hall, someone came over on his own initiative. Most of these people were lieutenant generals, admirals, and ship kings of the empire.

"I've been wanting to meet Mr. Duhring for a long time. I must thank you for your support of the navy. Because of an outstanding patriotic businessman like you, the navy can ensure the safety of the empire's waters!", said the empire Admiral of the Admiralty, Quinn.

Admiral Quinn looked very kind, his eyebrows were already white, and when he smiled, he gave off a kind feeling. But this is all an illusion he showed. Thomas told Du Lin that Admiral Quinn is one of the iconic figures of the militant faction in the navy. He advocated that the navy should rely more on itself, not the empire, to expand The scope of the imperial navy's dominion over the oceans forced the cabinet and the Ministry of Defense to face up to the role of the navy.

It is said, but it is said that the plan to have the Navy disguised as pirates to plunder the high seas is from Admiral Quinn. This plan has largely made up for the navy's lack of military expenditures. Only the higher-level admirals know about the more specific situation. Thomas is just a small high-level executive who has just been promoted to major general, not a real high-level in the strict sense.

There are still many things he doesn't know.

After the two shook hands, Admiral Quinn lowered his voice, "You can go around the base now, or chat with other friends, have something to eat, and after our event is over, there will be a small-scale meeting , You must come then!" After speaking, he stood up straight and shook hands with Du Lin again, "Our female soldiers are very enthusiastic, see you later!".

Du Lin knew what this guy was thinking without even thinking about it, and at the same time he began to be wary of the general. Insinuating him to do these things on Navy turf, something has a good chance of getting out of hand.

After seeing off Admiral Quinn, Durin chatted with several other ship tycoons. Although he didn't have any ships under his command, everyone knew that the Naval Base in Odis City was equal to Durin's. under the name.

The entire Naval Base in Odis City and the Mondona Naval Base on the west coast are supported by Durin's money. Now Durin is not only doing something as simple as smuggling goods, but also shipping by sea. For some enterprises, for example, about one-third to half of the goods of the alcoholic beverage manufacturers authorized by him go out through his channels.

Mainly safe, fast and no worries.

Maybe some people thought about competing for these channels in Du Lin's hands at the beginning, but as agents stood up one by one, these people no longer had these ideas. Whether it was the navy or the thugs under Du Lin, they were not ordinary forces. Competitive.

They talked a lot, and the main aspect was the current international situation. With the end of the war between the Empire and the Federation, there were almost no large-scale wars in the world. There may still be some small frictions, but everyone is more restrained.

Now that the whole world has entered a new era, it is obviously not feasible to improve the status of a country by force, so the economy has become the main direction of development. After the federal financial tsunami, many scholars and experts agreed that in the future, the form of war will evolve from force to economic war. The failure of the federal financial tsunami is the freshest and most typical case.

A financial tsunami took away the economic achievements of the Federation for at least ten years. Such an outcome was much more serious than the defeat of a war. Strengthening the national defense system was no longer a competition of military power, but also financial and economic resistance.

As long as one wants to develop the economy, one cannot do without the important link of commodity circulation. Judging from the current situation, although the Imperial Navy cannot rule the entire world's oceans, it still has absolute dominance among the four continents.

"By the way, do you know? People from the East are coming!" A ship magnate suddenly said an interesting thing, which attracted everyone's attention.

People's curiosity and exploration of the ocean has never stopped, especially the special profession of the navy, they have a more pioneering spirit in the ocean. Over the years, some people have gone to the East intermittently, but no ships from the East have ever come to the West.

In some historical records, the East once sent missions to visit the West, but it is a pity that those people thought that the West was still in the early form of a civilized society, full of barbarism and stupidity, and left disappointed.

In addition, so far there is no clear route to ensure the safety of long-distance voyages. Except for those speculators who want to get rich overnight, they will consider going to the East. Normal people never think about these things.

But now, this Mr. Ship King actually said that someone from the East has come, which aroused everyone's curiosity, including Du Lin.

In terms of his familiarity with the East, perhaps Du Lin knew the most about the East among all the people. Of course, it was only limited to the world in his dream, and he was also very curious about the East.

Seeing that he had attracted other people's attention, Mr. Chuan Wang continued, "There are two adventurous guys, one named Gorob and the other named Markon. Eastern missions, they will arrive on the east coast in about January." He paused here, "Compared with these two lucky guys, I am actually more concerned about whether the Eastern people have the safety in their hands. If they are willing to share their routes, maybe one day I will be able to go to the East to have a look.”

A group of people were chatting about the information they didn't know much about the East, and imagined how much benefit the navy would bring if they could win the right to speak in the waterway between the East and the West. Thomas, who came back from his debriefing, found During.

The two walked to one corner, Thomas took off his hat and put it on his waist. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and sighed, "You must not know what happened!"

Du Lin asked cooperatively, "What happened?"

This sentence made Thomas proud, "Speaking out will scare you to death, the eastern mission will arrive next month, and they gave me an extra sum of money... Actually, the bases on the east coast have received extra money. Funding, I hope we can show the majesty of the imperial navy and let those proud orientals understand our strength."

Adjectives such as "arrogance" are mostly an emotion extended from the historical manuscripts that recorded the visit of the Eastern Mission to the West. The original royal family was called a "barbaric chief" by the Eastern Mission, which is enough for many people to remember Oriental arrogance and rudeness.

So this time the cabinet decided to show its best appearance to receive the Eastern Mission, and let them understand that even though it is barbaric, it is also powerful.

For a while, the entire navy was discussing the Eastern Mission, which made Du Lin feel as if he was out of touch with the latest news, because he didn't even know about it before that!

Du Lin didn't want to talk about things he didn't know. He asked another question, "Admiral Quinn just told me that there will be a small-scale meeting later. What is that?"

Thomas looked around, lowered his voice and revealed, "The commander-in-chief and the general staff think that the current industrial distribution is too chaotic, and they plan to formulate some new rules. This is also related to the situation of the domestic high-level. To be honest, this year's annual meeting It will not be peaceful, the commander-in-chief means to move closer to the Ministry of Defense, but Admiral Quinn feels that we should no longer be controlled by the Ministry of Defense, do you understand?"
