Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 31 Serial Killing (4)

"Mr. Metz, the navy naturally has its responsibility and its dignity. If it is provocation and aggression from the sea, our navy will have no hesitation and is confident to repel all invading enemies, but do threats on land require us? Is the navy going down to deal with it? Congressman Metz, have you ignored the existence of our Union Army?" Farragut is not a soldier with a simple mind. A simple soldier has grown into a shrewd commander-in-chief of the navy. He will not be so excited after a few days of sarcasm and quarrel with these congressmen for budget allocation. If it is an ordinary matter, he will not be so excited. It's just a matter of chatting slowly with the other party, but now this matter is an urgent matter that can't wait, if the opportunity is missed, I'm afraid there is really no room for turning back. But this eccentric guy in front of him is an unavoidable hurdle, he can't do his ideological work, send troops? That's a no-brainer.

"General Farragut, please don't involve the army. Today is not the time to argue about the military budget of the army and the navy. You should discuss it with Congressman Metz before the concerns he raised are more practical." General Dun's obese body was strangled by the golden military uniform as if he was a little out of breath. He glanced at the commander-in-chief of the navy who had always been at odds with him, and he interjected coldly with a very impolite face.

Although Di Dun also hoped that the original peninsula region could be included in the alliance, he gave up this unrealistic calculation when he thought about the strong army strength in Western Xinjiang. It has already been reported that the Xijiang people defeated the Luobei people for the third time in the north. With the strength of those nomadic barbarians, they were still beaten to death in front of the Xijiang people. In the south, there may only be the Machihans. Dare to stroke the tiger's beard in western Xinjiang. As for the Union Army, Didon does not think that his army has the strength to confront Western Xinjiang, unless the Machihans can take down Lygon and Kurt Dan and then capture the entire Sulawesi Principality, blocking Western Xinjiang The way for people to go south, so that the alliance can truly realize the alliance with the Machihans. In such an embarrassing stalemate like the present one, although the Machihans have controlled Sambo, they have not advanced to Moro and Eastern Samoa after resting for so long. It’s best not to get involved in this muddy water, otherwise it will be like the last time, and it will cause the southern coastal city-states to lose the sovereignty of several islands in exchange for peace, and also let the army be defeated during the budget discussion in the alliance parliament this time. The navy is pressing one end, and now the army is going to be the scapegoat for the dead ghost. Didon doesn't want to do such a stupid thing again.

"General Ditton, could it be said that the safety on land should also be protected by our navy? Then what is the point of the Union Army consuming so much of the Union's military budget every year? Is it just to show off?" Sneered, although he knew that it was unwise to quarrel with the army at this time, but the contemptuous Farragut couldn't help but want to ridicule the other party. It was precisely because of the army's poor performance in the last war that Xijiang It is Farragut's personal opinion that people can deal with it calmly and eventually lead to the defeat of the war.

Ditton was furious. He had reservations about sending troops last time, but he had to implement the decision of the parliament. Those short-sighted and ignorant MPs only saw the immediate benefits, and never thought of the risks. , As a result, the unfavorable war made the army take the blame, and instead let the navy pick up the cheap. If you want to persuade the members of parliament to agree to the invitation of the Machihan people to send troops to the peninsula, why should you argue with them? Anyway, there are many members of parliament who play tricks, so let him go to the old people of the parliamentary military committee first. .

"Okay, General Farragut, your navy is powerful and invincible, and our army is useless, that's fine, but I think the congressmen are not fools. They can see the current situation clearly. What they need to consider is not only The idea of ​​the navy and even the entire military, as an alliance as a whole, they also need to consider the interests of the entire alliance. I don't think I, Di Dun, should worry about these things. Members of Congress will make decisions, but I just want to remind the military committee Members of Parliament, Li Wufeng has now completely defeated the Luobei people in the north, and now he can easily free up his hands. The Maqihan people have spent so much effort, but they can't even eat a single Lygon. This is what you said Waiting for us to take over the rights and interests of the peninsula? Is this Taiwan exaggerating? Even if we add our alliance army, what can we do? Don't be so naive, there is no free lunch in the world, in the words of Tanghe people, don't eat mutton and make yourself angry." Glancing at Farragut, Didon didn't want to entangle with him anymore, and lightly pushed the topic away For the congressmen who were still whispering and arguing, by the way, they also praised the congressmen, and this move won the favor of the congressmen.

"Yes, General Ditton said it very well. Now we can't just consider the needs of the navy or the military. Is the Mawen Islands really that important to the navy? I think the few islands ceded to Western Xinjiang Among the islands, except Princesa Island, which is slightly larger, the other two islands are little-known and unnamed islands with little value. The natives on those islands are also very difficult to deal with. They toss with our garrison all day long. Now Andako and Mahadeh in the east are chattering about the sovereignty of these islands. In my opinion, if they can really be sold, it is better to keep a few useful and closer islands, and sell the others all at once. People in Xijiang are interested in them. Didn’t the people in Xijiang make a lot of money in the grain business? We can also take the opportunity to sell them at a good price. If you don't accept it, let them go to the Xijiang people to make trouble, kill two birds with one stone, and save trouble."

The remarks of a chubby congressman with a pair of pee-foaming eyes really won the approval of many other congressmen. Seeing a bunch of foolish guys spreading fallacies there, Farragut's lungs almost collapsed. Was blown up. The Mawen Islands are hundreds of sea miles across, and hundreds of islands span the entire South Seas. Although most of the islands are farther away from the mainland, these islands themselves and their surroundings are not only rich in resources, but also very important to the future of the Nanyang Alliance. It may not be obvious now, but with the continuous improvement of navigation technology and shipbuilding technology, these islands will sooner or later become the cornerstone of the Nanyang Alliance in the Southern Ocean. Unexpectedly, they have become so useless in the eyes of these guys. The idea of ​​selling these islands came up, how could this not make Farragut, who has always regarded the ocean as the foundation of the Nanyang Alliance, be angry.

But Farragut didn't dare to speak out casually in the face of such absurd remarks. The speaker was a member of the Duchy of Seliu, which borders the duchies of Mahad and Andako to the east, and was also a member of the Ethnic Affairs Committee of the Alliance Parliament. This guy doesn't look fat as a pig, but he is the leading timber merchant in the Principality of Seliu. He monopolizes 70% of the production, processing and trade of the most famous sweet maple in the Principality of Seliu. His business spreads all over the Tanghe Empire and Milan, Anda The Duchy of Co and the Grand Duchy of Mahad are his main business places. The noble officials of the two countries also have good friends with him, and his in-laws are also members of the Union from the Duchy of Seliu, and the two have great influence in the Duchy of Seliu. The Principality of Seliu is one of the five countries of the alliance. Because it has no territory and no sea, it has always underestimated maritime rights and valued land security. This trend of thought is quite popular in the northern part of the alliance, and it is Farragut's biggest worry.

"Members, Mr. Metz, how important is the maritime rights and interests to our Nanyang Alliance~IndoMTL.com~ I believe that I don't need to repeat myself, Farragut. The best opportunity for the rights and interests of the peninsula. Now that the Machi Khans have controlled the entire Lygon. With an absolute advantage, I believe that the fall of the city of Lygon will happen sooner or later. Sanbao City has already fallen into the hands of the Machihans. But now the Machihan people are willing to hand over Sanbao City to our alliance, and are even willing to help us win Moro and Eastern Samoa in one fell swoop. Can we miss this rare opportunity? Some people may say how powerful Li Wufeng is , but no matter what happens to Li Wufeng, he is just a person and not a god. We all know that his current main force has been dragged to the north of the Tanghe Empire. The scale of their domestic civil war is far beyond imagination. The orthodox forces of the Tanghe Empire are Join forces to challenge him. He is already struggling to deal with the Situ family. He has no extra strength to take care of this piece of land that he has just conquered. As long as our alliance can dispatch troops and work hand in hand with the Machihans, we can seize the peninsula in one fell swoop. In this area, Li Wufeng will never want to touch the south of our mainland again in his life. This land will become the most fertile territory of the alliance. Bing Feng pointed at us at any time, this is the best chance once and for all, don't you realize it?"

Farragut doesn't want to entangle with those unrealistic issues anymore, that's not what needs to be discussed at the moment, his primary purpose now is to convince the MPs to believe in his views and opinions, send troops! Send troops immediately! This is the most pressing question right now!
