Power and Empire Chapter 2919: Civilization (1)

The blue waves are turning over the waves, and the two white lines are like dragons going out to sea. On the sea just behind the two white lines, the bow of the dragon-class battleship of the huge Imperial Sea War fortress severely cut the sea water, and the sea water was squeezed. Press it away, then roll back from both sides, hitting the half-red and half-black side of the Dragon-class battleship,

Under the **** of two murderous Imperial Dragon Tooth battleships, a huge Imperial Dragon-class battleship slowly approached the sparkling Kailuo Port. On the deck of this Dragon-class battleship, the Minister of the Imperial Navy Dusterenkai was looking at the growing port in front of him with dazzling eyes, and the port of Kailuo expanded with emotion

Three months ago, it was not so big. The original seventeen piers have now become twenty-six. The newly added piers have no place to use, and they have even been opened near the cliffs of the bay. , The busy construction site, the carriage carriage coming and going, the engineering wheel crane arm lifted a block of boulders, and three million dollars were smashed down. The construction of the project was not so fast. Four of them have shown their embryonic form. Small-scale transportation and transportation of materials, the other two also use huge stones to form a beautiful arc edge. It is conservatively estimated that it should be completed within a month.

"My lord, the Admiralty has invested heavily in expanding the port of Kailuo, is it really worth it?"

The adjutant withdrew his gaze from the distant port and asked cautiously behind Dusterenkai, "Although the management of Kailuo Port belongs to the Empire, the land belongs to the Erotians after all. Since Kailuo Since the port was established in accordance with the agreement, the vast plains backed by the Hérault Empire, especially since the original largest port Cornelia was destroyed by war, the material flow has tripled, and it has become the number one on the eastern coast. Dagang, if the Erotians weren’t very concerned about this port before, now I’m afraid they’ll say so much."

"Don't worry, as long as the war between the Eero Empire and the Adenites is not over for a day, there will be no ambitions for Port Carlo!"

Dusterenkai smiled coldly at the corner of his mouth. "At any rate, it is also during the alliance of the two forces. The Eero Empire fought the Aden people for more than half a year. It is said that the number of casualties has exceeded 300,000, and the domestic trade is the least. Eighty percent leaned on the exit of Kailuo Port. The Emperor Eero knew very well that the imperial navy built a naval port at Kailuo Port. The target was the Aden Navy. For a small port, it turned against the empire. Cut off his own domestic wealth, I believe that Emperor Eero is not that unwise!"

"My lord said it"

The adjutant’s face showed a touch of relief." The imperial navy fought undeclaredly and blatantly attacked the fourth naval fleet of the Kingdom of Aden. The incident has spread throughout Obaro. The imperial navy has built a large number of construction projects in Kailuo Port on the eastern coast and expanded the naval port. In addition to the recent series of imperial military operations against the Kingdom of Aden, anyone who is not a fool knows that the imperial navy’s plan to use Kailuo Port as a support point for its fleet and enter the waters of Aden from the Carlo River, which runs through the Eero Empire, Originally, the European countries had speculations about whether the Eero Empire would open the river.

As the imperial cavalry rushed for hundreds of miles, the envoys and ghosts burned hundreds of thousands of Aden’s logistical supplies in one fell swoop, helping the Erot Empire a vitally important favor

Every country knows that the Erot Empire will certainly let go of the river, because the Falcon Empire has clearly stated that it is on the side of the Erot Empire, and the two sides even signed a military alliance to fight against the common enemy, the empire The fleet's behavior through the Eero Empire River is normal! As long as Emperor Eero is still a little normal, he will not turn his face with the Falcon Empire at such a critical moment!

Besides, the imperial navy expanded the port in Kailuo Port, the real purpose is the Aden Navy

The entire Obaro doesn’t know how difficult the desert people are. There is a huge desert barrier with an extremely hot climate, and the southern resource-rich Aden Sea. The Obaro region has been since the time of the Feiya Empire. Several conquests of the desert peoples ended in failure, and then the Feiya Empire split, and the war between the European nations and the desert peoples continued for hundreds of years. It was still the result of not advancing and not retreating. The reason for this is not only It is only because of the cruel climate in the desert, the desert people are stubborn and good at warfare, and also because the Obaro army is completely unsuited to the desert terrain.

The Obaro area pays attention to the heavy armored battle formation, which is the mobilization and flanking between the large army groups.

But these are completely unworkable in the desert. The heavy cavalry and heavy infantry who can sweep the Obaro are a dead end when they enter the desert. When the large army conceals in the desert, the shortcomings of logistical supplies emerge and protect the food. The Obaro cavalry, under the scorching sun, is like purgatory, the body under the armor is almost drowned in sweat, and the horses are also spitting out long tongues, let alone fighting, even if they are running for a while. It’s difficult, but the camel cavalry lazily in the plains are blowing sand in the desert.

Obviously it is a difficult area of ​​sand dunes, these camel cavalry can easily pass, and run as fast as the wind

The supply point marked on the map ten years ago was still an oasis. When the troops arrived, only a few dry wells filled with stones were left. In many cases, the troops that invaded the sandbanks were dragged step by step. Break down, drag to death! However, it was after the establishment of the Kingdom of Aden that the European nations gave up their active attacks on the desert peoples.

Because the Kingdom of Aden is a desert-dominated country, but the place where it rises is the coast of the Aden Sea on the other end of the arrogance 6!

The people of Aden were originally a tribe on the coast of the Sea of ​​Aden. They controlled the golden route from the Sea of ​​Aden to Zhongbia. Every year, I don’t know how many materials and merchant ships enter Aden in this sea area. Sixty years ago, the Navy of Aden Rise, defeat the navy of the Nanxi Empire that controls the Aden Sea in one fell swoop, and establish its hegemony in the Aden Sea

The people of Aden, who had soared in strength, subsequently waged a war of unification against the entire desert, and finally turned this sandbar into the Kingdom of Aden. As long as the Sea of ​​Aden is in the hands of the Kingdom of Aden, a steady stream of wealth and supplies will follow. If the Aden merchant fleet enters the sandbank, if the line is cut continuously, the attack on the other end will be futile, just as the Kingdom of Aden was still driven out of the Oasis by the Erot Army in the early battles. If you can’t keep up, the Aden army on the opposite side will evade the weight, and withdraw immediately if there is something wrong with the slippery. If you want to catch it next time, it will be easier said than done!

The hot desert weather has caused the Eero Army’s non-combat attrition to increase sharply. In the previous Battle of the Oasis, there were more than 3,000 soldiers in the Eero Army who died because of the hot desert. They were not adapted to the environment. There were tens of thousands of soldiers who fell ill, and various unseen diseases were rampant, which eventually led to a decline in the concentration of the army. Finally, under the counterattack of the Aden Army, not only the two major oases occupied were withdrawn, but also the two major oases were withdrawn. The tone hit the initial line of the war, Cornelia! All the efforts and efforts have been lost! If it hadn’t been for the empire’s assistance, the entire battle would have been overturned now

The imperial navy assembled in Kailuo Port on a large scale, and the Aden Navy also issued the highest level of combat orders

In the oasis of Poros where the sea breeze in April, the head of the navy of the Kingdom of Aden, Btoya, pointed to the map hung on the wall, and confidently said to the king of Aden sitting on the throne, "The width of the Erone River is limited. As a result of the entry of the heavy battleships of the Imperial Navy, only the small and medium-sized Longya battleships can enter the inland waterways. In this regard, the 67 heavy ships of our naval fleet have an absolute advantage, and when it comes to the sea of ​​Aden Familiar with the fact that the Imperial Navy is completely blind, and its subordinates have ordered the recall of all combat fleets and sent people to pay close attention to the signs of the Imperial Navy in Port Kello! The actions of a fleet cannot be hidden, as long as the Imperial Navy fleet If you really dare to go south along the inland river of the Eero Empire, then as long as you enter the waters of Aden, our naval fleet will definitely let it go back and forth!"

"The Falcon Empire navy can also be regarded as the overlord of the Inland Sea, and the Imperial Thor is a naval weapon. Do you really have such absolute certainty?" King Aden looked solemn, his fingers tapping the armrest of the bench lightly, Falcon Empire His participation in the war caused the balance of the entire battle to lean towards the Erot side, especially the fire burned Lauva and the army of hundreds of thousands of Aden was embarrassed to advance and retreat. Fortunately, the balance of the whole battle was left in Lauva and the inside. When the army assaulted Cornelia on the two fronts, the supplies were already taken out by the left and right sides. One-third of them were taken out in advance, and Rauwa and were burned. This one-third of the supplies escaped by chance

Although it is still difficult to supply hundreds of thousands of troops, as many as 200,000 slaves in the Aden Army were pushed to the front to die, not only did the Erot Army suffer heavy losses, but also lost 200,000 meals. The logistical pressure is not so great.

The frontline commander Archie decisively ordered the pumping of tens of thousands of camels from the air force to urgently transport supplies from the sandbar to the front lines. The food purchased by the wealthy businessmen in Aden in Lisbon was also intermittently transported to the front lines. This seems It’s a very dangerous gap, and it's finally blocked.

Compared to this, the imperial navy's assembly in Kailuo port made the Kingdom of Aden feel more pressured

Compared with the war of conquest of the Falcon Empire, the people of Aden are more like pioneers of this era

This is the fat man’s first feeling of getting specific information about the Kingdom of Aden. With the people of Aden busy transporting food to the front line, and having no time to check every opportunity to enter the sandbar, the empire’s intelligence tentacles finally entered with difficulty. In the hinterland of the Aden people, the vast and hot sandbanks have always been regarded by the Europeans as a place to exile the devil. These sandbanks are the descendants of the devil, so they have always coveted the richness of the Europeans.

The information returned shows that it’s not the same thing at all. The desert peoples in the sandbar have always been rooted in the Aden Sea area in the south. The sandbar is just a horizontal ditch that cuts off the big six, and the oasis in the desert. Big, how many people can there be? How can a large sandbar that produces no food support a nation that has fought against the Obaro for a thousand years? The Obaro people have always flaunted that they are the center of the world, and in the eyes of the desert people, this is just the self of the Obaro barbarians Taunting, yes, the desert people call the Obaro savages, just like the Obaro used to call the Falcon Empire savage.

The empire intelligence personnel who entered the hinterland were shocked by the interior of the Kingdom of Aden. In this era of bleak civilization, the real light of civilization is in the Aden Sea area. This is something that even the fat man did not expect!

The most powerful country in the Oubaro region, the Falcon Empire’s Kyoto, has only one million people. This is the result of the empire’s countless huge resources.

In the Kingdom of Aden, there are four cities with a size of one million people in the Southern Sea. Their prosperity is enough to shock the entire Obaro. Over 60 million people are crowded in this area of ​​less than a thousand miles. On the U-shaped coastline, there are many ports and cities all over the place. The domed temple not only has praise, but also the voice of spreading knowledge. Here are the most famous philosophers, mathematicians, astronomers of this era, and Yading Steel has always been there. It is the most excellent forging material in the Obaro area. When the Obaro area was still in continuous war, the academic research here has crossed the threshold of the Middle Ages.

The education system integrating religion and academics is far more extensive and applicable than the scattered elite education of the nobility in the Obaro region. Even in the Falcon Empire, the similar Sky Temple education model has just started. And here has been a heritage system for hundreds of years

The business culture driven by the Falcon Empire surprised and shocked the Obaro people, but the Obaro people didn’t know how brilliant the commercial culture they had in the desert people who fought them for thousands of years~IndoMTL.com~

The commercial routes of the desert peoples have reached the northern part of Central Pia thousands of miles away to the east, and even the northern grasslands have the shadow of Aden merchants, and they have reached the Obaro commerce to the west. Lisboa, the center, if one country’s maritime trade routes have bypassed the entire Great Six in this era, then it’s not the Falcon Empire, but the unobtrusive Kingdom of Aden. The nature of the desert people is trade and expansion. When they are in the sandbanks, they need to explore new areas outside, and need to travel to and from the major oasis in exchange for goods,

This custom also applies to them after they migrate to the coast, but their transportation is changed from camels to merchant ships

On the sea area map of the Imperial Navy Headquarters, there is still a long gap in the coastline of South Obaro. The Empire is still spending a lot of money to explore this. On the secret map of the Admiralty of Aden, the coastline of South Obaro looks like The inverted spindle-like coastline is already very clear. The distribution map and the marking points above are accurate to within one mile. The Aden Navy fleet has explored the southernmost point of the southern Obaro coast thirty years ago, and now, there is the Kingdom of Aden. The largest source of slaves, more than a dozen small countries have become conquered areas of the Kingdom of Aden. The population here is being transported by Aden merchants to the Aden Sea area.
