Power and Empire Chapter 2896: Mad Blood (8)

"Your Majesty, after six months of surveying the waterways along the way, the Admiralty believes that although the width of the Southwest Waterway is different, if it can widen certain sections of the river, it can barely allow the Imperial Dragon Tooth-class warships to pass all the way. "A member of the Admiralty, wearing a black emperor's uniform, who came with him, presented a thick pile of reports to the emperor respectfully.

"I will not read the report. You can directly mark the area that needs to be widened on the map of the Southwest Waterway, and I will send someone to negotiate with the Long Family!" The fat man stood high above the mouth of the Guangling River. , His eyes pierced and waved his hand. Two big rivers were raging through the waterways below them. The turbulent currents hit the rivers, constantly rolling up waves of impact hookah, just like two raptors rushing out. Before the Southwest Dragon’s family attacked the central part, in a secret meeting, they promised to let the Southwest Waterway pass to the empire. The condition was that the empire must support the Long Family with a clear-cut stand during the Yanzhou Battle. Longpo wanted to force the empire to use troops against Yanzhou. , I never thought that I did not order the army to join the war, but went to Guangling, Southwest Dragon’s home base. Lao Tzu came in person. If this is not a position, then what is a position?

Even if it is a dumb loss, the Long Family can only swallow it with blood!

Since the Empire has fulfilled its promise, the Long Family has no excuse for completely letting go of the Southwest Waterway. In the current situation of the Long Family, they are not qualified to talk to themselves. The main force is still in Yanzhou, and the elite is in Zhongbia. In the central part, there are only about 30,000 defensive forces left behind. Although the empire has evacuated 20,000 people from the border defenses, Berlante Bonnie’s 70,000 people from the Second Army can still stay on the border and wait for it at any time. Initiating a battle to destroy the Southwest, I believe that the Long Family is not a fool and should know how to do it!

"Yes, I understand"

The admiralty officer showed a touch of excitement on his face. It is true that the current strength of the Long Family is hard to express. Although the Imperial Navy is already the overlord of the Obaro continent, when he thinks of the Imperial Navy The warships of China can have the opportunity to appear in the waters of the Eastern Continent, and it is still difficult to conceal the excitement on the face

This waterway that runs through the two continents is still in the sketch stage, but the Imperial Navy Department actually began to embed in the southwest as an imperial merchant six months ago, and secretly surveyed the southwest waterway. The terrain of the entire southwestern river, mountains and rivers Shui Liu, I’m afraid I know better than the Long’s family,

In the birthplace of the Southwest Waterway, the place invisible to the Long Family belongs to the upper reaches of the Nawumu Great Lake in the empire. Several large docks stand on the edge of the rippling and clear lake, and a large number of craftsmen are rushing to work. In half a year, five Dragon Tooth battleships used for testing have been launched on the surface of Nawumu Lake.

As long as everything is in place, these dragon-tooth ships can set off from Nawumu Lake to conduct the first sailing test of the entire roadway, take the southwest channel into the southern river channel of Central Bia, and then enter the southern channel from the southern river channel into the southern part of Central Bialand. Hai, this bold conjecture was originally proposed by the Imperial Navy. It has been secretly implemented after the emperor’s approval. If this plan is really successful, the Imperial Navy will no longer need to risk passing through the Aden people’s area. There is no need to circle the southern continent of Obaro, which takes several months of dangerous voyages, to enter the waters of Central and Bahia!

Sent away the head of the Imperial Admiralty. The fat man rubbed his temples. He just turned around and saw a group of galloping knights on the mountain road not far away. The dust was lifted by the horses and blown by the wind. It was like a tornado leaning over and approaching, only to discover that the knights who performed well on horsebacks were all sturdy young men in cyan arrow robes, with a broad and long-handled mountain knife slung on their heads. Wrapped in a white headkerchief, the leader turned out to be a pretty woman. The azure short-sleeved robe, and the red rope tied to the waist of the willow leaf that could not be gripped, showed a bit of heroism, which made people feel more heroic. There is a kind of spiritual beauty who sees the clear spring of the empty mountain, and it makes people's eyes bright. What a mountain girl!

"Your Majesty, it should be a member of the Southern Song Clan" a guard whispered with a solemn face,

"I can see it!" The fat man snorted in his nose, azure clothes and white paw, are known throughout the south as the symbol of the Song Clan. The Song Clan was originally a southern mountain dweller, although because of the general trend, Acknowledging the rule of the Central-Byanian Empire, but has never really integrated with Central-Bialand. He has always been his own emperor behind closed doors. He never regards the costumes of the Central-Byanas as beautiful, but still maintains it. The true nature of the mountain people of Tianqing Baipa, I thought it would take five or six days for the Song to send news. I didn’t expect the Song to come so quickly

Now in an extraordinary period, the Southwest Long Family's great purge of the local gentry is said to have involved no less than the Song gentry. The Southwest Long Family and the Song have kept each other in check for decades, although not Enemy, but there is no difference. I thought that the other party must be cautious, cautious and cautious when asking people from the Song clan. However, the Song clan cavalry team in front of me can run so blatantly, as if they were in It's like running on your own land! Something is wrong with this situation! Could it be that the Song clan and Long's family reconciled in private?

The Song people on the opposite side also saw Fatty, as well as more than a hundred imperial cavalry with murderous armor behind Fatty. His expressions immediately became tense, and all the proud young people were still discussing how to frighten them. These western barbarians, but unexpectedly, were on their own side, and they were suppressed by the murderous intent of the other party's heavy armor.

"These Westerners who kill people without blinking"

The leading woman raised her hand, and the Song knight behind slowly stopped the horse. The woman's gaze fell on the dark black armor of the imperial cavalry, and she paused unnaturally. She saw the warriors of these Western Continent warriors. There is still a trace of faint red rust on the surface of the knife. It is a bloodstain that can only be produced by not knowing how many people's blood has been soaked. No corpse mountain has been rolled in a sea of ​​blood, then it is so murderous,

It is said that the Westerners of the Falcon Empire are killing people like numbness. Today I have seen it. The woman frowned slightly. Some confused eyes finally fell on the fat man. It can be seen that this man has a face of China and Bahia. The black-haired young man is the core, with a hint of hesitation and uncertainty, she asked clearly

"Your Excellency is the one who met us?",

"What's your name, did you draw that picture?" The fat man snorted heavily, and he asked the Song Clan to send the person who painted the picture in person, but he didn't expect that it would be a woman. , A woman, what is going to the sea for?

"My name is Song Li. I did not paint that picture, but I ordered it, and I was there!"

Hearing that the other party did not answer her, but directly asked about the painting, Song Li knew that the black-haired young man in front of her was the important minister of the empire who had been waiting for a few days. This time the family and the empire had a secret agreement, just because A word from the other party, the owner does not hesitate to use the fastest horse to send himself, it is enough to explain the importance of the other party,

She didn't dare to delay, she immediately got off the horse and paid a respectful salute to Fang, then put her hand to the back of her back, took a delicate and gorgeous box from her subordinates, and raised the box in her hand and said, " This is what we picked up on the sea that day. I don’t know if it’s useful to your country. It’s also a proof of my presence on the scene. Your country’s warships are very brave and tenacious, which is admirable."

A guard walked in front of her, took the box, opened it and took a look, his face changed slightly, and he hurriedly sent to the fat man "Your Majesty, this is the navy flag of the Dragon Crow"

The fat man's gaze fell into the box, and it became extremely cold. His fingers trembled and picked it up from the box. That side almost turned into a golden falcon navy flag with a blue background that was torn to rags. In an instant, the air seemed to drop a few degrees all around, and all the Imperial Guards' eyes were a little red.

The naval flags hanging high and on the mast were broken like this. You can imagine how violent the explosion on the Dragon Crow that day was. It was not a last resort. The Imperial Navy warships would not choose to explode. The Navy of Aden was really deceiving. Too much, the fat man suppressed his inner grief and anger, put the navy flag into the box, and then solemnly handed it to the guards around him.

The Dragon Crow was destroyed, but the blood can't be shed in vain, blood for blood, tooth for tooth! Aden Navy, I remember! The fat man looked at Song Li and said with emotion, "I am very grateful for what you have done for the Imperial Navy. In this matter, the Empire owes you a favor to the Southern Song Clan. It depends on your love for keeping the flag for the Dragon Crow. I can fulfill one of your requirements in my personal capacity"

"A request? Is this true?"

Song Li looked at the other party’s extremely serious face, and her heart was a little moved. She didn’t know the identity of the fat man, but she also heard that the emperor of the Falcon Empire was in the Guangling Ling, the other party’s voice was obviously extraordinary. Even if it is not the confidant of the Ximanzi emperor, it is not far away. This time I went to the Kingdom of Aden for advice. I thought that the Kingdom of Aden was already a first-class maritime power. However, she did not expect that the naval battle she saw on the way back completely subverted her recognition. Knowing that a single imperial battleship fought seven or eight Aden naval battleships. If it were not for the large number of people, it would be really unpredictable who would win and lose that day. From this we can see that the imperial battleship is powerful!

After hesitating, Song Li said, "I hope to get the blueprint for the construction of the most powerful battleship in the empire"

"The blueprint for the construction of the most powerful battleship in the empire?"

The fat man was slightly shocked. The improvement of the Imperial Navy battleship, with the accumulation of countless money, plus the absorption of the essence of the navies of various countries, even if it is not equipped with Thor, the design is beyond this era, the navy construction drawings, Even if the emperor himself wants to take a look, he needs to go through several procedures,

"Have difficulties?" Song Li's beautiful eyes flashed with disappointment. She also knew that her request was a bit too much. The blueprint of the strongest battleship owned by a country's navy is like a treasure in any country. , The secret is not revealed, how can it be taken out so easily

"Song Li, yes, yes, I remember, half a month, I will give it to you"

The fat man answered so seriously for the first time, the Falcon Emperor’s promise, I don’t know how many people will break their heads in the Western Continent. A drawing of the strongest battleship can barely be passed, so there should be no one. Laugh at it. Fatty was a little worried. He decided to send a copy of the drawing of the Dragon-class main battleship to the Admiralty. ~IndoMTL.com~ This super large battleship is much larger and taller than other warships, and it encompasses the empire. There are many secret construction techniques unique to the Navy, not to mention just a drawing, even if the other party is watching how to build it, the other party may not be able to build it!

"Thank you, then, I will stay in the southwest for half a month!" Song Li smiled very happily, her pretty face blooming like a flower, she didn't expect what she had always wanted is so easy,

"By the way, isn't your Song and Southwest Dragon's relationship strained? For half a month, if it's not long or short, isn't it afraid of accidents?" The fat man blinked his eyes. I heard some other meanings in his words, so I asked curiously,

"Don't you know, the Long Family has secretly asked the Song Clan for marriage? Now even if we are walking sideways in the southwest, there is no problem at all!" Song Li turned and stepped on the horse with a passionate expression, raising her whip. , Leading his subordinates quickly disappeared into the smoke and dust in the distance, and there was a cheerful folk song in the distance

"It's interesting." After a long time, the fat man turned around and looked at Guangling in the distance. He had just cleaned the southwest gentry and immediately married the Southern Song clan again. No wonder the Long Family was able to stabilize the fluctuating hearts of the people!
