Power and Empire Chapter 1290: The Ambition of the Empire Star Cluster (1)
January, Salander Moon Anse, Admiralty Building.
The exterior wall of vines and vines, the simple and elegant mansion, since the naval battle and Antoros, the commanders from various squadrons and the civilians who come and go with folders are always walking here. , But today is completely different. Starting from entering the gate of the palace, the patrol team with three steps, one guard, five steps, one guard, and cloaked fully equipped patrols walked back and forth from time to time.
Even on every corner of the hall corridor, there are soldiers who are heavily armed and are responsible for checking the credentials of people entering and exiting.
These soldiers have serious faces, and they are not the navy uniforms that the Navy Department is responsible for patrolling, but the black uniforms that are truly suffocating the Supervision Department. This is a sight that can only be seen in truly top-secret meetings.
The rare tense atmosphere made everyone who walked into the meeting room feel a little nervous.
The fat man pushed open the marble door inlaid with white silver edges, and the calm and powerful footsteps solidified the air in the entire conference room. The conference room was full of people. The appearance of the fat man immediately attracted everyone's attention. The voice of kindness stopped immediately, and only the sound of the cold wind blowing in the trees outside could be heard still.
"All stand up!"
"Boom" all the sounds of standing up, shaking the entire conference room.
Headed by the Governor of the South, Statunko, a dozen generals of the Southern Army sitting on the left side of the conference table, and over 30 navy captains sitting on the right with Secretary of the Navy Dusternky. , It stretched the whole body straight like a spring that was suddenly released.
The number of people and the enthusiasm are so large that almost the entire conference room is packed. Whether it is a southern army general or a navy captain, their eyes contain excitement and enthusiasm that is hard to conceal, just like It is a raging heart that has been ignited. It is the third time that His Majesty Falcon has visited the Admiralty in person this month. But this time even the army has gathered so neatly, which is enough to prove.
His Majesty the Falcon made his final determination for the upcoming Normandy Expedition. This is the clarion call that will be fully launched. In terms of the army, this is the first sign of the Southern Army’s full-scale attack after half a year of silence. This is not the expeditionary force composed of 20,000 Salanders sent out in the front, this is the true main force of the empire. Regardless of equipment and fighting will, they are not the same.
Although most people think that the empire’s famous stars gather in the north, compared with those in the north who are covered with honor medals, the generals in the Southern Army are also full of this attack on Obaro. Coveting and ambition, this will be a battle of glory for the Southern Army. The light of the Imperial constellation should be the first to shine on the land of Obaro by the Southern Army, to a certain extent. This can be regarded as the fat man's compensation for the Southern Army's hard work for several years.
In terms of navy, it was the largest operation of the Imperial Navy this year. More than 150 naval warships were mobilized and privateers were dispatched. The mainland, and even a part of the Dylans Navy, dispatched more than 25,000 troops without counting the army. The number of transport ships transferred is even more difficult to calculate.
This is the largest gathering of imperial naval forces, some people predict. This time, the forces gathered by the Admiralty in the early stage were enough to destroy the Nord Navy, which it had previously contended with, more than three times.
Look at these majestic and excellent naval ports, built like contiguous pearls along the coast of the Salander Sea, forming a huge and complete offensive and defensive strategic system, watching the new naval warships fly by Above the blue waves of the sea, it quickly replaced the old-fashioned naval warships and gradually became the main force of the navy. Watching young people full of vigor and ambition fill the queue of the navy from the army.
suffices to explain that in this short year, the hope that His Majesty Falcon has placed on the Navy and the military expenditures invested are rumors that have been multiplied, not just a groundless sentence.
According to the report of the Imperial Ministry of the Interior, when the Imperial Navy was engaged in the battle against the Salander Navy in January, the only navy that the Empire could use was the 3 squadrons of the privateer fleet, attacking 40 warships and some transport ships, and the annual military expenditure. It was 4 million gold coins. By the start of the war with Nord in June, the annual military expenditure of the imperial navy quickly swelled to 7 million gold coins in just five months.
The number of warships surpassed 100 for the first time, and then the Imperial North Sea Fleet was formed to go north, privately go south, and the Dragon-class battleship was launched. In October, the navy's military expenditure finally exceeded the 10 million gold coin mark.
This is also a place where the Army has always had a lot of opinions. According to the joint letter of several army commanders, the Imperial Army is responsible for the main combat tasks, with a force of nearly 300,000. The military expenditures of the four major corps in a year are also However, it is about 20 million. The navy has less than 30,000, and its military expenditure has reached one-half of that of the army. This is a very unfair phenomenon.
And the answer from His Majesty Falcon was "I'm full and I'm supporting it, right? If any of you can wade across the vast sea with your feet, and plant the Falcon flag on the opposite continent of Europa, I Don’t mind giving him 10 million additional military expenses! If it can’t be done, hehe, don’t say I don’t show mercy, everyone will go to Paravin for three laps streaking around~IndoMTL.com~ For this answer, a few of the army The legion commander collectively remained silent, and the cunning Salon was the first to quickly express that the Navy is the army’s best combat partner and the sword of the Empire. In fact, his defense zone has nothing to do with the sea, but the military leaders are very It is clear that the navy wings of the empire will be the center of gravity of your majesty in the future, and it is also an important guarantee for the army to continue to obtain glory, and if your majesty the falcon is serious, it will be very incomprehensible. All military expenses will be deducted.
For this meeting, in the Antoros waters, the Secretary of the Navy Dusterenkai, who was in charge of the overall command of the preliminary operations, had returned to the Admiralty three days ago. All the naval battles belonging to the First Private Fleet were recorded. The ship also returned to the base camp at the same time.
warships gathered, and the army also moved towards Yue'ansi.
Everyone is waiting for this important moment. If the current sea battle is only a strategic deployment of the empire, now this meeting will represent that His Majesty Falcon has finally decided to draw out the sharp sword of the empire. In the Obaro continent, he slashed fiercely.
"Sit down, everyone!"
The fat man came to the most important position in the middle and sat down, his eyes scanned the hot faces of everyone, waved his hand to everyone, opened a leather scroll with a silver thorns badge on the background, and said in a deep voice, "Believe Everyone should have guessed the reason for this meeting. I won’t say if there are too many. Now we will announce the combat order..."
