Realm of Power

Slowly folding the papers that recorded his own ideas, the fat man stretched. He asked for a map from the guard in the middle of the night. After carefully examining it, he made a bold It was decided that it would be unrealistic to build an academy on the Oparo Continent, but it could be easily achieved by using the period of cultivation in the Winter Continent to find a stable strategic point on the Oparo Continent with the power of the navy.

The location of this strategic point is none other than the Normandy Sea Chain close to the southern waters of Salander.

At the beginning, the Normans used these island chains as a springboard to launch a surprise attack on the unsuspecting Salander, which was considered a classic invasion of another continent. Now they can also use this as a springboard to launch a surprise attack on the unsuspecting Salander. The mainland has laid a nail on its own. As long as it can occupy these island chains, whether it is the navy or the army, it can get a stable support point.

The fat man picked up a blank document from the table and prepared to write a letter to the Southern Governor Statunko who was on the southern island of Salander. He asked Statunko to make relevant preparations. If possible, the Southern Governor The army could wait for an opportunity to seek fighter planes to occupy the island chain between the Normandy Peninsula and Salander. Of course, this would violate the agreement originally signed, but who would really care about such a secret agreement that is not even signed by oneself? ,

I'm afraid the Normans also know very well that the peace treaty signed under those circumstances is probably as light as a piece of paper. If given the opportunity, the Normans would do the same thing.

This battle can also be used as an opportunity to issue orders to the Hulun tribe to mobilize and attack.

Although the Huron tribe has strong military strength at sea, most of them are old-fashioned sailing warships, and they still rely on the old combat method of picking up shipboards. If necessary, the privateer fleet in the north of Salander can stabilize the pressure. To curb the rebellion of the Hulun tribe,

In fact, when the privateering fleet was originally transferred to the north of Salander, part of them had such considerations. On land, Tirnarant, who was stationed in Tiha in the south of Lod, had 10,000 troops, and Sargos's first The Nine Flags Regiment and the Tenth Flag Regiment, a total of 40,000 people, the entire southern Rode and southern Weixia, are actually like a huge umbrella, surrounding the Hulun tribe’s base camp on land in the middle.

As long as he gives an order, an army of 40,000 is enough to wipe out everything. Although the Hulun tribe is good at fighting, but for the heavily equipped Falcon Army, it is just an egg against a stone. Unless the Hulun tribe elders are really crazy, or think that they are The fat man had a soft heart and dared not take action, so he had to wait patiently. A sly smile appeared on the corner of the fat man's mouth. He believed that this order could cause chaos in the Hu Lun Tribe's Presbyterian Council.

Putting this order aside, the fat man picked up another document from the Navy Department. This is a request from the Navy Department. The improved version of the Dragon Tooth Ship will be launched for sea trials in December.

This is something that Fatty has been paying close attention to. With the stability of the interior of the empire, the navy needs more powerful fangs to expand its territory.

Although the Dragon Tooth Ship was originally used for offshore operations, it had good speed and firepower, but because it was too light, it often had problems in ocean navigation, so the fat man ordered the Navy to develop an improvement plan as soon as possible.

There are two plans submitted by the Navy Ministry. The first plan is to directly use the old sailing warship as a model and replace the trebuchet on it with Thor. This is the simplest and fastest way, with low cost and fast manufacturing speed. Most of Urcondo’s North Sea Fleet is an improved version of this old warship. In order to cooperate with His Majesty Falcon’s cold region strategy, the Navy Ministry almost All the excitement was invested in it, and a batch of temporarily modified warships were temporarily modified for emergency use. After the Cold War, this kind of temporarily modified warships stopped.

The second plan is to increase the displacement and firepower of the original Dragon Tooth ship, so that the Long Tooth ship can truly adapt to ocean navigation. In this plan, this improved version is more powerful than the original Dragon Tooth ship. The displacement of the Japanese warships more than doubled, reaching 340 tons. Each ship The number of Thors of various calibers carried by the Dragon Tooth Ship has also been increased from the original 20 to 60. There has been a qualitative improvement in firepower. Although the modification is a bit crude and rough, and it looks a bit semi-finished, but on both sides Special light iron plates have been installed on the ship's side.

This newly developed subway plate is not very thick, but has high strength and flexibility. It can effectively reduce the damage to the hull caused by heavy objects and can even leave some important parts unscathed.

However, such a large area of ​​​​iron plates is installed on the battleship. It will greatly increase the displacement of the battleship. Therefore, the improved Dragon Ya launched this time gives up a certain advantage in speed, but it is more capable of resisting the impact of ocean waves. Of course, the real decision of whether it is feasible or not is a real war. , Actual combat is the real test. This improved version of the trial ship will participate in the battle for the Normandy island chain.

Just then, there was a knocking sound at the door

"Come in!"

The fat man was writing with his head down, and the unique rhythm of knocking on the door showed that the person standing outside the door must be that dull guy from Prais, because this guy always knocked long and short, and seemed to be in need of knocking more. Bong,

"Your Majesty, I just received a letter from Salander!"

Plais walked in with a bit of embarrassment on his face and said, "I didn't want to disturb His Majesty's rest, but I happened to see His Majesty's room with lights on outside, so I walked up to it unconsciously!"

"It's nothing, because I can't sleep, so I might as well get up and correct the documents!"

The fat man smiled casually, took the letter from Prais, and said jokingly, "In fact, as far as I know, the adjutant seems to have no habit of sleeping at night, so he is called"

"It's late at night and quiet, and I can always think more clearly and carefully. I'm already fifty years old, and I can fall asleep right away. It's a luxury for me." Prais looked strange and said respectfully, "But your majesty needs to take good care of your health. After all, you shoulder the heavy responsibility of a country, and your majesty's long-term military travel will also affect your health.

"What do you mean by this?" The fat man was stunned for a moment

"Your majesty has conquered such a large territory, so you always need an heir! "Prais hesitated for a moment before saying incoherently, "Although His Majesty now has ten princesses, there is not one who can always follow him, so I have to make a bold suggestion. For the sake of the country and His Majesty's hegemony, His Majesty must have a princess to serve him, otherwise people's hearts will be unstable. Does His Majesty want the continent to fall into chaos again after a hundred years?"

"This seems to be my family affair!" The fat man's face fell and he put the letter in his hand heavily on the table

"Your Majesty is the country, and national affairs are not family affairs!" Prais lowered his head, his face was serious, and there was no sign of compromise in his words

"Okay, I'm afraid of you!" The fat man knew at a glance that Prais's stubborn temper had come up, and he knew that if he didn't give in, this guy would be here until dawn, so he had to wave his hand and said, "You can arrange this matter, and give me an answer tomorrow!"
