Power and Empire Chapter 2921: Civilization (3)
Mobile reading
The shadow of the sun cannot be seen in the gloomy sky like thick ink, and the air is full of the dryness and coldness before the rain,
Song Patriarch Song Que stands on the rock wall, gazing at the boundless vast sea in front of him, the wind blowing on his face, like a comb, blowing across the sea, like a line of lines forward Rolling grace, like a pair of invisible big hands, lightly stroked from the surface of the sea
"Are the people of Aden really come across such a vast sea?" Song Que turned his back, his flashing eyes retracted from the sea, and turned to look at Song Lu who bowed his hands behind him.
"It is indeed from across the sea. It is said that the kingdom of the Aden people is thousands of miles away. If you walk on land, it will take at least half a year. If you are by sea, you can arrive in two months. "South of Biya" Song Lu respectfully took out a token and placed it on the ground. This is the patriarch's order and the identity sign representing the family's foreign affairs. If there is an order, there must be an order back, otherwise it will be regarded as betraying the family
This is the experience left by the painful lessons of the Song people. In order to disintegrate the power of the Song people in the southern mountains, when the Zhongbia court was planning to split the Southwest Longjia, it also bought some people from the Song people. Taking advantage of the split of the Long Family’s Western Army, the Song people were divided into the Song people in the mountains and the returnees who were willing to move out of the mountains. If the Song patriarchs of that generation were not decisive enough, they would almost let the Song people take the south. The rule of the mountainous region was overturned. At that time, more than 600 direct descendants of the Song family were executed, and 167 people were executed in one breath, including the two sons of the Patriarch. Since then, there has been no Patriarch’s order. Song people, if they represent their family in foreign affairs without authorization, they will be regarded as family traitors!
"You are the third person in the family, or an old man who has been in charge of the Song fleet for 20 years. Although you have stepped down and turned to be in charge of the family’s internal affairs, if you say that the Song has some experience in fleet operations, except you I really can’t think of anyone else "Song Que hesitated,
Before the words were finished, Song Lu trembled slightly, knelt on his knees, and interrupted Song Que's words with a slight embarrassment, "Patriarch, I have not been in charge of the fleet for three years! And even It’s me, and I don’t have the experience of fighting at sea! This battle is extremely dangerous, and it is more related to the foundation of my Song clan’s rule in the southern mountains. My subordinates boldly suggested that the family fleet should not participate in the war! "He knows the owner of the family. This time I intend to appoint himself as the commander-in-chief of the fleet, but thinking of the current situation of the family fleet and the imperial fleet's weak state, Song Lu's heart is drumming, "You mean, let the Imperial fleet deal with the Adenites?" Song Que's face was stunned. He didn't expect Song Lu to be so optimistic about the family's fleet. As the owner of the family, Song Que also felt a little uncontrollable on his face. He hesitated and said, he stared at Song Lu with piercing eyes and asked
"Since the Southwest Dragon’s family and the Zhongbia court gradually estranged, most of the waterways close to Luzhou have been abandoned. The pressure from the upstream two lines is not as good as before. Therefore, the fleet built by the family to contend with the central government was early It is already in use as a transport. The latest warship launched was built ten years ago to celebrate the birth of my little daughter. This time, it is a real battle against the sea overlords of Aden. Tell me the truth. Is the Imperial Navy really so unbearable?"
"The person in charge of the family fleet is the **** kid. Although he is the leader of the fleet, he actually ran the farthest one or two waterways to the southwest. After going out to sea, he can stand on the boat without overturning. Very good, and as the opponent is the battleship of Aden that has crossed thousands of seas. This is completely the difference between the new Ding and the warriors who have experienced many battles!" Song Lu looked very solemn and said word by word
"This time is too dangerous. The people of Aden have been on the sea for decades, and the warships are as high as a city tower. How can they be dealt with by simply finding a fleet? It doesn't matter what the result of the imperial fleet is. The aliens die if they die. There are thousands of people in the family fleet, plus the family members who are dragging their families. I'm afraid there will be more than tens of thousands. If these thousands of people died at sea because of this, then the owner of the family would be true. Has become a sinner of the family! As for the imperial fleet, although it is not an opponent of the Adenites, it can still be done if it is only delayed!"
"It seems that you are really not optimistic about the family fleet!"
Song Que's eyes flashed with a haze, and he sighed helplessly. "Unfortunately, the order has been issued. One day later, the family fleet will descend south from Luoling Waterway, and finally merge with the Imperial fleet at Linshanshuiwan, even this time. The fleet may be destroyed, and the order cannot be changed!"
"Patriarch! Please take back the order. The family has just recovered some foundations and can't just lose it like this." Song Lu let out a mournful cry, and slammed his head heavily on the ground. He finally knew that the Patriarch had sent himself to negotiate with the Imperial Navy. The reason is, because if you are there, according to your influence on the family fleet, this command of the Patriarch cannot be carried out, as long as you think that the lives of thousands of Song children have been placed on the altar of family sacrifices, Song Lu Eyes are red,
"You should know that this matter is already on the line and has to be sent!" Song Que's face was determined,
Song Lu couldn’t help but eagerly said, “Although I don’t want to fight against the Patriarch before the war, I must tell the truth. The Imperial Navy warships are simple, and their tonnage is insufficient. It will be eaten by the people of Aden in one bite, and then the family fleet will be there. Please search (品#书……网) to see the most complete! The fastest newest novel..." Song Lu's voice stopped, he wanted to speak. Stop again,
"Needless to say! The 30,000 family army has been pressing down on the coastline for half a month. The Aden people have landed more and more frequently, but the location is always difficult to capture. The family army is exhausted on the coastline for thousands of miles. Within the family, Some people have already proposed abandoning the coastline and relocating all the mountain people in the coastal area."
"You know what this means!" Song Que waved his hand abruptly, raised his head and looked at the gloomy sky, the sea breeze blew his hair wildly, and said condensedly, "The nearly 200,000 fishermen near the coastline will enter the mountains. Compete for land with other mountain people who don’t have much land."
"Have you ever thought about the consequences? I gave up more than a hundred miles in the first place, and then gave up more than a hundred miles later. Over the past few decades, the southern mountains have been 1,600 miles, and how much is left now!"
"There is no retreat in this battle. If my Song people do not take the lead, how can I command the people of the mountains! If the lives of thousands of Song children can be exchanged for these hundreds of miles of coast, even if it is all dead, everything It's all worth it. As for sacrifice, what else is there to say, because this is their life as the children of the Song clan!"
Song Que walked away, Song Lu knelt on the ground with a blank face, the black hair on his head seemed to be a few whites, behind him was the increasingly violent sea waves under the gloomy sky, pounding on the cliff like a beast There was a crashing sound similar to the roar of a beast, and a white crystal clear spread out in all directions
In the habitual thinking of the people of China and Biyadh, the sea is not used to explore and conquer, but to be awed by gods. The sea is the limit of the extension of the continent, so there is the corner of the sky and the sea. It is said that the Chinese and Bianlian people’s understanding of the boundless ocean and the extensive land routes have allowed the Chinese civilization to avoid the maritime civilization. Although foreign business and trade have never been interrupted, those alien merchants who crossed the sea, even if they earn more A lot of money, I finally boarded the ship and left under the pitiful eyes of the people of China and Biya.
"These poor aliens, who have left their hometowns, came here all the way to make more difference. Forget it, just treat them as beggars. There is no need to be true to these poor bugs."
Central and Biyarians can’t see the value of the ocean, let alone build a navy that controls the sea area. At most, they will build a few fleets to engage in transportation and frighten the wild people on the nearby islands. The majesty of the country has never had the concept of control,
So when the Adenites’ navy defeated the barrier of the Imperial Navy of Nanxi, it expanded from the waters of Aden to the waters of Central Biyah, and what appeared to the people of Aden was this golden sea that could reach the fertile East Continent, like It was the broken rope discarded by the roadside, and was grabbed by the people of Aden. For decades, under the cruel attack of the Aden Navy, the merchant ships of the South Asian Empire disappeared, and Baijili's fleet disappeared, and it was in the middle of China. The fleet of the Bianan continent was the only fleet of Aden with the flag of the moon flying. When these merchant ships turned into warships, the Central Biya region realized for the first time that the vast sea is just as terrifying. Battlefield!
"Commander, it’s just a semi-transportation of the Aden fleet. Brothers can handle it by themselves. These Song fleets are a complete drag." In the port of the Imperial Navy, the 12th Squadron Admiral Katis Opened an emergency report sent from the Ministry of the Navy. His adjutant was complaining that the Song fleet was completely dragging its feet.
They are all soldiers of the Imperial Navy who have experienced many battles. They have seen what the Song fleet is. The battle mode of the Zhongbia fleet obviously still stays at the jump ship battle hundreds of years ago, even if it is The navy in the Obaro region that was violently pumped by the imperial navy has evolved from this simple model of manpower competition to the use of large-scale weapons.
Ultra-long-range heavy-duty catapults, burning fireballs, and metal-clad collision angles that directly penetrate the opposing battleship, as well as heavy lifts and drops that can cut off the middle of a battleship. It is said that the Aden Navy also has very terrible fuel injection ships, which are unparalleled weapons against melee combat. They can turn a battleship into a super torch on the sea within a minute. It is conceivable that these fully loaded combat troops What will happen to the middle-biased ship? The competition in manpower will be despised even if it is placed in the Obaro area, but the Chinese-biased people regard it as the only mode of warfare,
God, do you want to fight with such an ally? When Thor was still shooting a long-range volley, what if these guys rushed straight up? If these Chinese and Biyarians jumped onto the opponent's battleship to fight, would they fire or not! The hull lit by the opponent slammed into the water, whether he sank decisively or dispersed the entire bombardment queue!
"Okay, don't complain, I have no plans to let the Song fleet go to sea at all. Although the Song fleet is useless, it wins because it has a lot of people and can at least be used to clean up the battlefield!" He closed his hand with a smile. The report came from the Imperial Admiralty. It explained the reason for the sudden madness of the Adenites recently. It turned out that the Imperial cavalry had a big chrysanthemum in Cornelia and hundreds of thousands of food and supplies. It was burned clean and clean, so it’s no wonder that the Aden Navy was so crazy that it even took a bite of such a barren area of the southern coastline of Central Biya
The people of Aden issued orders to the whole country to raise food and obtained food through all channels. Even the daily affairs of the King of Aden were said to have reduced the original 60 dishes to 59 dishes. For the royal family of Aden, who likes to declare luxury and pride to the outside world, it is already *naked on the face.
"All subordinates are incompetent and did not let your majesty eat sixty dishes!" Katis fills up the picture in his mind. A servant of the palace in red, gorgeous clothes, shouting a sword stabbing Into his chest, his head lowered to his chest. For this reason, more than three hundred attendants in the palace apologized for the shame of the king. In the Admiralty’s report, there was a rare ridicule.
Katis knew that this was the guys from the Admiralty who were laughing at the people of Aden~IndoMTL.com~Katis was born in the Imperial Navy, and he did not deal with the merchants of Aden when he was in the empire. These gorgeously dressed Aden merchants What I like to brag about most is that their king requires 60 dishes per meal. Pigs, cows, and sheep only choose the tenderest bit. All kinds of cherished birds and beasts, even elephants and rhinos.
The tableware for eating food is all gold inlaid with rubies, the drinking cup is a human skull with countless gems and diamonds, and the king of Aden basically eats one bite of the dish, and orders people to take it down, absolutely not paying the second bite , And definitely don’t eat heavy food. At that time, Katis felt that this was still a human, and he didn’t know how the cooks changed tricks to survive.
The people of Aden are proud of luxury, and they often use it to mock the gang of turtles in the Falcon Empire, the dignified emperor of the Empire, it is said that a meal does not even have ten dishes, it is really shabby! The Admiralty uses this as a ridicule on the notice, for this reason,
"The Navy Department’s combat order has been issued?" the adjutant asked a little eagerly. If there is no order to fight without authorization, the consequences will be quite troublesome.
"No, there is no combat order mentioned above, but it also doesn't say that you must not go to war!" Kartis shrugged and handed the report to the adjutant. He came to the ship window and looked darker and darker outside. The sky, this is a sign of a storm, what if the people of Aden change their route?
"What does that mean?" After reading the result report several times, the adjutant blinked his eyes and didn't understand it.
"Because I didn't say anything, it explained everything." Kartis recovered from the window and looked at the confused adjutant. "Don't forget, the empire has already issued a notification on the declaration of war on Aden. What combat orders need to be issued?"
(To be continued.)
