Tales of the Reincarnated Lord Chapter 217: Whale Island
Chapter 217 Whale Island
"Lord(s), I think the weapons and equipment agreement between you and Fisablen Family in exchange for cattle and sheep is extremely unwise. From a strategic perspective, this is simply an act of enemies ..." Schwartz, who had been stunned for two days, finally endured it. Stayed, and expressed his own opinion to Lorist while drinking afternoon tea.
Lorist took a piece of honey shortbread cookies and put it in the mouth. After eating the tea cup, I rinsed my mouth and looked at Schwartz with a smile.
Schwartz blushed and waited for a long time without seeing the Lorist conversation. I was anxious: "Teacher, please tell me why you want to make this deal with Fisablen Family. Everyone said that you made such a decision by being overwhelmed by Princess Sylvia. ... "
Lorist quickly turned around and looked at it. Fortunately, Miss Tristy was still with the little baby on the grass to bask in the sun. Although her maid Young Vini grew into a big girl, she was innocent and was teasing her little feet. I didn't hear what Schwartz just said reads ;.
"Come here, you stinky boy." Lorist sank his face, reached out and rubbed the hair of the Schwartz that came near him into a chicken nest: "If you grow up, you will think strategically, it ’s amazing. ... "
"Okay, sit down, it's time for your class."
"Schwartz, you answer my question first. What do you think of Grand Duke Fisablen and border guard Legion?" Lorist asked.
Schwartz thought about it, and answered, "Teacher. Although Grand Duke Fisablen and his frontier Legion are not confronting our family, but he is a potential opponent of our family anyway. If we want to attack Iberia Kingdom , They will become our enemies. Not only me, many people think so. "
"Iberia Kingdom? Hehe. Schwartz, look farther away. Don't keep it in front of me. In my eyes, Grand Duke Fisablen and his border defense Legion are not in my eyes at all, they are not worthy of being our family's opponent. "Lorist is arrogant at this moment.
"Teacher. Why do you think so, Grand Duke Fisablen's frontier Legion has 78,000 elite soldier(s)s. It is almost the same as our total number of Norton Family armed forces, and it has great power after completing the arms and equipment trade with our family. Zeng, you can't take it lightly! "Schwartz quickly advised.
"Heh ..." Lorist laughed: "Schwartz, why do you say that Grand Duke Fisablen has given up the position of Minister of Regency of Iberia Kingdom and ran back to his old nest Eastwild to save?"
"That's because, because Lord(s) gave him a game in Wangdu, and now the situation of Iberia Kingdom is a mess, Grand Duke Fisablen is unable to return to the sky. Have to give up ..." Schwartz answered thoughtfully.
Lorist shook his head: "You are wrong, Schwartz. In front of strength, no matter what kind of conspiracy and tricks are tricks that can't be played on the stage. In fact, if Grand Duke Fisablen is serious, he can clean the entire kingdom's Aristocrat(s) Class, aggregate them into his own help, he has this strength. As long as the order of the kingdom is rectified and production is resumed, Iberia Kingdom can be reborn in less than five years. Instead of being in such chaos as now, the country of death is in sight It's over. "
"But Grand Duke Fisablen gave up because it was a no return. Either he succeeded or the entire Fisablen Family was buried with him. So he was afraid. He would rather give up the kingdom than let his family perish, as long as he has control With the border defense Legion, then whoever comes to power will give Fisablen Family a face. Even if he is gone, Fisablen Family and border defense Legion can still be interdependent. "
"It can be seen from this point that Grand Duke Fisablen has long lost its ambition. Although it was established because of his support for Iberia Kingdom, it is now Iberia Kingdom. It is a long-lasting struggle, Grand Duke Fisablen knows it well. His departure means He has given up on his efforts to save Iberia Kingdom. "
"Let's take a look at the border defense Legion. The purpose of the formation was to resist the grassland captives on the prairie in the Northeast. But I did not expect that after the Grand Duke Fisablen became the army Captain, the strength of the border defense Legion increased so quickly, not only suppressed it. The savage savage rider also opened up territory for the former Empire, adding a frontier province to Empire. Therefore, the biggest enemy of the frontier Legion is the savage tribes on the Northeast prairie.
Don't look at the border guards Legion has 78,000 elite soldier(s)s. In fact, they need at least half of their strength to prevent the attack of grass and barbarians. Grand Duke Fisablen could suppress the opposition forces in Iberia Kingdom by relying on three or four frontier ranger regiments. But after our family wiped out the 100,000 troops of Second Prince in the First World War, Grand Duke Fisablen already realized that the strength of his hand alone was afraid that it would be difficult to deal with the rise of our Northern Land Four Great Families. "
"Ordering 100,000 sets of standard equipment from our family is actually an olive branch that Princess Sylvia handed to us on behalf of the border defense Legion and Fisablen Family, which means that Fisablen Family has no intention to be our enemy, and of course there is also a temptation to see if our family We have this strength. We took the deal, which also shows that we did not regard Fisablen Family as an enemy, and our family did not care how much the 100,000 sets of standard equipment would add to the border defense Legion.
Many people in our family are worried that this 100,000 sets of standard equipment will greatly increase the border Legion combat power. Once they become our enemy, we are asking for trouble. In fact, they are too lacking in self-confidence or fear the Grand Duke Fisablen Prairie Army God. Prestigious reads ;. Schwartz, I ask you, if our family is now facing the entire frontier defense Legion, do you think we will be defeated? "
"It is impossible. With the strength of our family armed forces, the border defense Legion has little chance of winning against us. No matter the quality and equipment of soldier(s), we can roll over the border defense Legion." Schwartz is very confident in the family armed forces.
"Then, if they equip the border guard Legion with the standard equipment they purchased, can they tie us or defeat our family armed forces?" Lorist asked again.
After thinking about Schwartz for a long time, they finally shook their heads: "They still have no chance of winning. Our family's logistical security is much stronger than them. Even if we don't use strategy, we will make steady progress. Fight, but the final result will still fail ... but Lord(s), so they will cause great damage to our family armed forces. I think this transaction is the enemy's behavior refers to this ... "
Lorist nodded: "Schwartz, you are very thoughtful. The teacher is very pleased, but there is one thing you need to remember, once you enter the battlefield, you must treat the soldiers under your command as numbers, as The commander must keep a calm judgment of the situation on the battlefield at all times, and must not affect his mind because of sympathy and anger. How to defeat the enemy and how to avoid his own casualties This is something that must be considered as the leader, but as long as the battle begins, it cannot be caused by casualties Too heavy to change your original intention. The failure to win the war means that the price of your casualties is useless, and the choice must be decisive. Only victory can make sacrifice more valuable ... "
"You just said that there is some truth. These 100,000 sets of standard equipment can indeed add a lot of fighting power to the frontier Legion. But those of you who are worried have forgotten the most important point. This is the transaction. You have to watch See what kind of price Fisablen Family and border defense Legion paid for these 100,000 sets of standard equipment. For our family, these 100,000 sets of standard equipment are just a year and a half of weapons production base output, but we can exchange for nearly two million Head of cattle and sheep.
Two million heads of cattle and sheep are equivalent to two million magical beast surges. Fisablen Family and border guard Legion simply cannot afford it. Eastwild and Muyeyuan Province, two major provinces of animal husbandry, produce up to 500,000 cattle and sheep a year, but they cannot give them all to us. Because they have to sell these cattle and sheep in exchange for food, cloth and salt and other living materials. And I signed a five-year agreement with them. In these five years, they need to deliver 400,000 cattle and sheep to our family every year. We only need to deliver them two standard equipments of the two Frontier Ranger Regiments each year, and 20,000 sets will do.
So Fisablen Family and the frontier defense Legion hit their ideas on the grassy tribe in the northeast prairie, ready to plunder the cattle and sheep of the grassy tribe. But are those grassy tribes messy? Those with more than 100,000 heads of livestock are tens of thousands of people, all of whom are soldiers. Even if the standard equipment wearing our family trades does not mean that the soldier(s) of the border defense Legion is inaccessible, they will also have casualties and equipment loss. I estimate that five years later, the border guard Legion may need 20,000 or 30,000 sets of standard equipment supplements ...
In a sense, the signing of this transaction agreement is equivalent to Fisablen Family and the border guard Legion working for our family for five years, and they will also form a life-and-death relationship with the grassland tribe on the Northeast Prairie hatred. Even after five years they got all standard equipment. The combat power has increased greatly, and the focus can still only be on preventing revenge from the Caoru tribe. And our family. After five years of development, is it still as strong as it is now? At that time, I am afraid that you will not pay attention to border guard Legion. "
"Five years?" Schwartz touched his head. I am embarrassed and laughed: "Teacher, I really forgot this, time is also the key ..."
Rethinking for a long time, Schwartz's eyes brightened: "Teacher, as long as they sign this agreement, it means that within five years Fisablen Family and border guard Legion can only get along with us, and they will never be able to fight against us again. .Because they must use the most elite troops and equipped soldier(s) to rob cattle and sheep on the prairie. In the past five years, they have to stop us. One is to avoid two sides, and the other is we have the initiative to provide them with standard equipment. Right ... "
"Yes, that's the truth, so the worries of those who only see the people in the family are worrying in vain ..." Lorist smiled and raised the tea cup.
Patt rushed to Lorist with a family of soldier(s): "Lord(s), Sailing Battalion, three training ships were attacked by whales when they went out to sea training, they turned over two, sailors suffered heavy losses, At present, more than 370 people are missing and unknown ... "
"What did you say?" Lorist was shocked, stood up, and knocked over the cup and teapot on the table;
...
Lorist took Imperial Guard Battalion to leave overnight, and arrived at the Bullhorn Bay Marine Battalion in the afternoon of the next day.
Golden Knight Farrea is full of shame: "Lord(s), it is my incompetence that has failed your trust and made the sailors so badly damaged ..."
Lorist patted his shoulder: "It doesn't matter to you. You paid a lot of effort to build the already of the sailing battalion. You are not on board this time when the three training ships set sail. You ca n’t do this unexpectedly. It ’s controlled. Let ’s get something for me and the Imperial Guard to fill my stomach. We have n’t had any hot food yesterday afternoon until now ... ”
Things go like this. In mid-October, the three training ships were successively delivered to the sailing barracks. At the beginning, everyone just moved around in the Horn Bay, familiar with the water regime and the performance of the ship. But after more than ten days in a row, everyone was a little tired and decided to drive out of the bay to take a look. In this way, each class of sailors sailed further and further away. Until three days ago, an island was found a hundred miles away from Bullhorn Bay, but there were many whales playing around the island.
This small island is not existence on the map, which means that the island is not large and was ignored by those who painted the map Magician(s), so the location is not marked on the inherited map. So these sailors gave the name of the whale island based on the whales playing around the island.
Farrea also visited the Whale Island by training boat two days ago. At that time, he also refused the sailors' request to visit the island. The main reason was that there were too many whales around the small island. Afraid of something wrong. However, I did not expect that a group of sailors who went to sea for training yesterday couldn't help but wanted to go to the island to play. .
On the sea less than ten miles away from Whale Island, the two training boats traveling in front were attacked by several whales. The largest whale was the size of a training boat. Jumping and crashing, the huge whale body was pressed on the spot. Overturned and overturned. The sailors on the training boat that fell behind were frightened, and hurriedly sailed to steer far away to avoid the danger. When I reached a safe distance, I put down the small lifeboat to rescue and rescued only 23 people. Of the 400 sailors on the two previous training ships, 377 were missing and unknown ...
Farrea's voice is very low. Everyone here understands what it means to be missing and attacked on the sea. Only a few lucky people may still get the favor of fate and have the opportunity to be rescued, but the vast majority of already Left this world.
"Whales are not magical beast, why do they actively attack our training ships?" asked Els, the commander of Imperial Guard.
"I don't know what the reason is." Farrea shook his head: "After the incident yesterday, I went to the shipyard to ask a few old boatmen and a few old fishermen. According to them, it is very likely The sea area near Whale Island is where whales feed their offspring, so our training boat violated their Territory and was attacked by them. "
"Now morale is very low in the sailing battalion because of yesterday ’s incident. Lord(s), I wonder if the captain and sailors of the only training ship that came back yesterday will be punished. Correct their curiosity and delusion caused this tragedy. Incident ... "
"If you formally order that the sailors are not allowed to approach the island, I have no objection to punishing those who violate the order," said Lorist.
Farrea thought about it: "No, I haven't ordered them to be near Whale Island ..."
"Forget it, sailors must emphasize discipline on board, but maintaining a strong curiosity and a strong spirit of exploration is not a bad thing. Although such a tragedy occurred when the sailing battalion was first built, it cannot stop Our family's determination to go to the ocean. What whale island is the Territory of the whale, even the sea is also the world of our Norton Family fleet!
Farrea, please appease the sailing barracks first. I will let the shipyard start construction of the whaling boat immediately. When our family's whaling boat goes to the sea next spring, we will make that whale Territory into a whale's Jedi ... Lorist shot with resentment on the desk case.
