Power and Empire Chapter 2381: Wind over the corridor (1)
The news that the Imperial Navy shelled Luansok at night, and it reached Lisbon before the sky was clear. The southernmost point of the Empire was only more than ten miles away from Luansok, and the Imperial Navy's fleet shook the sea. The sound of cannons, in the deadly dark night, not to mention only more than ten miles, even thirty miles can be heard, not to mention that the port of Luansok was bombed into super fireworks, and the flares dyed the sky of the horizon red. As long as you are not blind, you can see the burning clouds in the sky in the distance, and the red light is constantly flashing, just like a flash of thunder on a rainy night,
"What is that?"
Countless empires were awakened by the sound of cannons on the sea. Everyone rushed to the heights of the city, looking at the direction of Luansok, opposite the sea.
The ships docked in the harbor were also full of densely packed people. Everyone was stunned to watch the terrible sight like natural disasters across the sea. No one gnawed, or they all forgot to speak, only the broad ones. On the sea, imperial battleships lie on their backs, and rows of fires undulate between the battleships, like the stars in the sky, and the white smoke of gunpowder is like a long layer of white mist on the sea. ,
"It's so spectacular! Are those stars on the sea?"
A child sits on the neck of a middle-aged man, watching the scene in the distance, dancing and dancing, his eyes are bright, for the child, the scene in front of him is much more lively than the festival
"Yes, that's the stars!"
His father smiled and said, his face was not so good when he glanced over, as an adult, and also the intelligence chief of a certain country in the Falcon Empire, he naturally knew what he saw! That was the spectacular sight of the imperial fleet shelling, and the imperial fleet was bombarding Luansok! This. . . . what is going on! The middle-aged person's pupils, which have been blown into grayish blue by the sea breeze all year round, are completely occupied by the firelight at this moment, and the hands are clenched together unknowingly, which is terrible! Everyone knows that the Imperial Navy has the ability to bombard land and shore, and even once bombarded the imperial capital of just non-imperial capital, but after all, it was a rumor that was released after how many people were heard.
Who would dare to say that it was not the smoke bombs released by the Imperial Navy to deter countries by force. Based on my own experience at sea for so many years, I think that most of the exaggerated elements are the imperial navy’s artillery capabilities, but, so The damage that can be done should also be quite limited
I was lurking in the southernmost city of the empire this time. Didn’t I think that with the convenience of being close to the entrance to the inland sea, I could observe the Imperial Navy warships up close and magnificently, and at the same time have a reasonable view of the actual combat power of the Imperial Navy warships? Unfortunately, after staying in this city for almost half a year, I saw more than a hundred imperial navy battleships, and even figured out the firepower configuration of some imperial naval battleships, but the most core things have never been able to do it.
Imperial Navy warships are very tightly guarded. Warships can be seen, but they can’t be approached, let alone the power of the Navy Thor when it actually launches, because there is no such opportunity. The Strand Navy has collapsed. Who is it now? Dare to provoke the Falcon Empire Navy?
I don’t know the power of the Navy Thor, and there is no way to evaluate the empire’s naval power, not to mention the few times that determined the entire inland sea situation. The rumor is full of enthusiasm. The large-scale naval decisive battle is the inland sea. The peak confrontation between the Great Navy and the Imperial Navy, which was still an invader at the time, was the battle of tens of thousands of sailors, and the crazy battle of more than a hundred main battleships. Where can ordinary people see it?
But tonight, he saw that when the cruel reality was in front of him, the heart of the middle-aged man seemed to fall into the ice cave cold at this moment. The evaluation conclusion of the imperial navy’s combat power has been very clearly written on him. In his mind, it’s just that he himself doesn’t want to admit that the conclusion of the bombardment of the capital of Gangfei is really reliable. In the inner sea, as long as the empire is willing, the force of the Imperial Navy is enough to destroy any port city. The number of Imperial Navy warships on the sea is about Between twenty and thirty ships, it fits the size of a squadron, and just such a squadron, with just a slight stroke, what a look is under the blood-red Luansok horizon and sky in the distance. The scene of **** on earth,
"What a power this is!"
The middle-aged people are a bit bitter and powerless. Although they are still more than a dozen miles away from the sea, there is still a black sea, but every time there is a row of fire coming out from the side of the battleship, a rumbling sound follows. The middle-aged people could feel the scorching heat of the mountains and the sea. On the evening of May 30th, on the evening of May 30, Luansok, the largest port of the Fezer Kingdom in the south, was shelled by the Imperial Navy. The entire port collapsed, causing more than 3,000 casualties. On the same night, dozens of ports in the southern area of the Inland Sea coincided with the outbreak of armed conflicts due to commercial disputes. The Imperial Navy appeared almost immediately outside the areas where conflicts broke out. The atmosphere of tension seemed to be overnight. Declare war on the southern coast!
The red spire of Lisbon’s business alliance’s lobby was crowded with businessmen, and the voices of discussion echoed in the lobby. Today is the last time to perform the contract. No matter how unwilling the business people are, they must perform the contract after signing, otherwise The grade that took countless efforts to mention is affected. Not only all efforts are in vain, but the huge liquidated damages will also ruin oneself, handing over the goods, at least retaining the grade, and spending some time there is still room for recovery.
"Have you heard that the Imperial Navy shelled Luansok last night!" a businessman whispered beside another businessman
" I heard it, but I don’t know if it’s true! "The businessman nodded and looked around." But think about it, the six southern countries attacked the Imperial Army in the Istan Empire. I didn’t expect the empire. Will retaliate so quickly"
" It’s almost certain. Isn’t the style of the empire like this? The six nations fight against the empire without declaring a war, and the empire simply retaliates with a tooth for a tooth. The empire is a fig leaf, and the empire doesn’t even need a fig leaf. It directly attacked Fei Ze, who has always been a vanguard among the six southern countries. This is the style of our empire."
"If you want to fight, I will fight! The shelling of Luansok is really pleasant. You didn’t know that when the news reached Lisbon, I was full of energy. The empire went to war against Fazer, and the navy was still used. What a magical pen!" The merchants were waiting for the gap, so they naturally hung up the news of the imperial shelling of Luansok. It was also the content that the merchants were most concerned about, whispering mutual discussions
During the discussion, I don’t know who said, "The navy attacked Luansok, and the fleet of the double-headed eagle merchants may not be able to go north safely."
The hall suddenly became quiet, and the businessmen’s eyes lit up one by one, and the sad faces soon revealed a bit of joy, yes, why didn’t you expect it, under the imperial navy’s lockdown, The double-headed eagle merchant group cannot go north to Lisbon. In this case, the agreement is the other party's breach of contract. Although the purchase of fine iron has cost a lot of money, as long as the goods are in hand, they can naturally be sold. At most, it is a loss. The last small part is completely different from the previous situation of almost bankruptcy. The outbreak of this war is too timely. If the disaster ahead is enough to make Lisbon's vitality badly injured, now it will be a storm at most. ,
"Sister Dailan, it seems that the situation has stabilized. As long as the time is up, Lisboa will return to normal if there is no one from the other side."
On the second floor of the business alliance, I looked at the head of the branch in the scene below, turned to the back of Socutus Delan, looked very respectful and said, if the awe in the past was only because the whole woman was in several disturbances The staggering performance and iron-blooded wrists, now, it’s because of this woman’s ability
"Immediately mobilize funds from nearby areas to prepare for the next big acquisition"
Socutus Delan said calmly, looking through the glass on the second floor and falling in the direction of the port in the distance. The fleet of the double-headed eagle merchant group will not come. The entire fleet is in Lisbon. The outer sea was sunk by the imperial navy. All 33 ships sank to the bottom of the sea, and the entire fleet had no life! This news will never reach Lisbon, nor will it even be seen in any records. The fleet responsible for the attack was also used to report the ammunition consumed by the pirates. The vast sea has no traces to be found, regardless of the south. How does the merchant group say that everything will happen when the fleet is at sea? Who knows where the double-headed eagle merchant fleet has gone? If you have the ability, look for it yourself!
"Big acquisition? What does Miss Dailan mean?" The head of the business alliance branch was taken aback for a moment, and then his face became a little pale
"The business alliance will come forward to buy all the fine irons on the market. As for the double-headed eagle business group, the other party will not come!" Socutus Dailan smiled slightly, charming Tiancheng, suppressed for so long, how many people Waiting to see my jokes in the dark, even within the business alliance, is there a variety of rumors, this time, I can finally breathe out the evil in my heart
"Yes, I understand!" The head of the business alliance suddenly widened, and felt a chill to his bones. He naturally heard the rumors in the business alliance, but with the previous lesson, the situation Before I know it, no one dare to show the slightest change. Although the power is tempting, it must have the life to enjoy it.
Behind the thirteenth deacon, stands the top of the empire. Since the last incident, it has not been news. The last storm like this is already the most powerful alliance of the deacons of the business alliance. The four deacons joined forces. To start a difficult situation and seize the opportunity to chase hard. Everyone thinks that the winner is in hand. Even many people think that even the imperial military will choose to give in before such power. Who knows that the situation is not the same at all, the military Instead of appearing, the more terrifying Ministry of Supervision came out. As a result, four deacons died and two were exiled. The wind reversed overnight. This woman's position became more stable as a rock. She controlled Lisboa with one hand and shocked the entire business alliance.
And this time, even more exaggerated, the Imperial Navy took action! The double-headed eagle merchant group is probably over,
Socutus Delan’s words made the head of the branch dare not think about it. There was almost a blank in his head. It was terrible. The facts were so obvious. The imperial navy’s sudden shot directly bombarded the Southern Fee. Ze’s largest port, then in this sudden outbreak of conflict, who has benefited the most?
listo!
The head of the business alliance branch feels more and more chilly as he thinks about it. This woman’s words, even if he thinks about it, are enough to make the head of the branch who has half-footed into the upper level of the business alliance I am shuddering. This woman has existed since the establishment of the business alliance. After the storm, the provocative opponent will not die or be disabled. Such a character can not be provoked by the person in charge of the business alliance branch, even if it is really in this deacon competition. Zhong Shengli became a figure like the twelve deacons. In front of this woman, there was no capital to be proud of. The other party did not hesitate to disclose the news to himself in advance, just telling himself that Lisboa, this woman is the master!
With all kinds of news in the business alliance hall, the lifeless atmosphere of Lisbon Toss has quickly improved, businessmen seem to have regained hope, and the port has begun to operate
The agreed time is dusk. Everyone waited until dusk with speculation. Their eyes were about to see through. There was no shadow of the double-headed eagle merchant fleet in the port. When the heavy bronze bell at 8 o'clock in the evening rang throughout Lisbon In the sky above, the heavy air that has been suppressed for nearly half a month is like being blown away by a clear breeze. There is a huge cheer in the business alliance hall. It has passed, everything has passed, and many businessmen cry and tear. Similarly, at this moment, even if the original contract is invalidated, the heavy shackles on the body are opened, and the joy of coming from desperation fills everyone's heart, which is enough to make people crazy
"Quickly, send it back, all shops will resume business and will not close tonight"
"Yes, it's not closed tonight! I have enough water pipes, drink as much as I want!"
The lights are like stars, rows of lights spread around from the commercial street in Lisbon~ IndoMTL.com~ The land in the light restored its original color at once. The dazzling array of streets, the brightly lit port, and the weaving Pedestrians, "Cheers, for today" The crowds of carnival crowded in Lisbon’s paved streets with little stones, joy spread throughout the city, the cheerful saxophone, with cheerful tunes in the air, the whole city Trembling in this tune, like a hurricane, in the sky of the city, there were bursts of joyous echoes, and countless Lisboa merchants exuding alcohol. Squinting drunk, sitting by the side of the street with a dazed look, drank a drink, and then raised his head to look at the cheering crowd around, the vicissitudes of life written on the haggard face, tears in their eyes, and the joyful scene in front of them, for them, Just like a dream that never wants to wake up, this carnival celebrating victory will continue for two days or more. Under the high glasses, there are faces crying with joy,
This kind of cheering is like the wind, blowing across the gallery of the Admiralty
Standing in the room of the Admiralty, looking back from the countless lights in the city of Lisbon in the distance, the fat man turned around and accepted the interrogation report sent by the Ministry of Supervision. After looking at it, he signed his name and asked He said, "Give it to the Government Office, arrest these people immediately, and start implementing the second plan at the same time, tell Valisian that it can start!"
"Yes!" The officer of the Supervision Department respectfully accepted the report, turned and left. The wind passed through the corridor, shaking the light and shadow of the corridor, shining on his head high, his gaze cast like a sword on the starlight and galaxy lying on the sky The Emperor of the Empire☆ (To be continued.
