Power and Empire Chapter 3606: Weird Robbensam Island
? Compared with the central and northern regions of Southern Europe, which has just passed the cold winter, the climate near the southern coast of Hérault has entered the summer ahead of schedule. It is closer to the hot equator, and summer is almost all year round. The only difference is There is a difference between the hot summer and the summer that has not yet become hot, so the ocean monsoon will continue to spread northward, bringing the climate change in the winter and summer to the entire South Oubaro region.
But also because the sea is blue and washed all year round in summer, it is also one of the few areas that still retains the architectural characteristics of the southern Eero civilization. From the coastline to the east, it crosses a raised peninsula about fifty miles, which is the Gulf of Aden. In the fertile area of the south, since the empire and the Aden empire went to war last year, a huge port city of Southern Weixia has also risen next to this estuary.
A large number of transport ships docked here, staring at the countless towering white masts in the port outside the window. The Imperial Navy Minister Dusternky retracted his eyes from the window and pressed a top-secret investigation report in his hand on the table. The commander-in-chief of the Imperial Navy, who is called the Burial of the Navy by the enemies of the Empire, has a grim expression on his face at this moment, even surpassing the grimness he had when facing hundreds of warships of the Aden Navy in Mas Crescent Bay.
He is wearing a black imperial navy uniform, and the sunlight outside the window shines on his straight back, drawing a long shadow on the brown floor
Although he is the first man in the Imperial Navy, his face that has been blown by the sea breeze all the year round is even more dark and lean. His eyes are cold and sharp, and it seems to flash with luster between movement and silence. The report in front of him is from the empire. The navy exploratory fleet, since receiving the emperor’s secret order, this exploratory fleet consisting of four Imperial Dragon Tooth battleships, six transport ships, and a total of 670 people has quietly left Weisiya
The target of this fleet's exploration is Robbensam Island, which has lost rumors. Robbensam Island is not far from the southern estuary of Eero. It is about a two-day voyage on Robbensam Island. There are rumors that the fishermen in the south of Eero have been strayed by sea monsters for more than a hundred years, but for the Imperial Navy, what are the stray sea monsters, the giant squids that can swallow big ships, and the ghosts of no one. Rumors such as boats have long been proved to be all false
Under the imperial Thor, everything is a fan!
At least the Imperial Navy has never really encountered these so-called monsters since it crisscrossed the sea. The Imperial Navy swept across the four seas and was invincible. The number of sailors who stayed on the ship for many years did not know how many rumors would be seen in their eyes. Even the Secretary of the Navy Dusternky once said that even if there are such sea monsters. They will only see the imperial navy and run away. If they don’t run, they will be bombarded with navy Thor.
But at the moment, this report made Dustrum Kaye’s nose breathing a bit heavy
If the Kraken does not exist, then this report is completely unexplainable,
"One hundred and thirty-eight people landed on the island, twenty-seven people were missing, thirty-one fell ill, and an island with a width of no more than twenty miles, even if Lin Mi had no way, he wouldn’t be able to cross it by himself. It will be more than three or four hours, but the exploratory team was trapped here for four full days, and finally had to return according to the same route. You are sure that you boarded this Robensa, which is no more than twenty or thirty miles long and wide. Island?"
"It is indeed Robbensam Island. In fact, at this moment, the subordinates can't believe what they experienced. We can be sure that they are heading in one direction. It is expected to cross over in three hours. But in fact, we walked for three days and three nights without completing the task of crossing, and we didn’t even see the other side of the coastline. At last we heard the singing, so the members fell to the ground for some reason, and we had to choose Retreat" A slightly old middle-aged admiral of the Navy stood upright in front of Dustlenko, his memories filled with pupils still carrying unconcealed fear. He was the Deputy Minister of the Imperial Navy’s Exploration Department, Latina, who used to He was the Admiral of the Strand Navy Fleet. After the Strand Navy was incorporated into the Imperial Navy, Latina was transferred to the Imperial Navy Exploration Department as the Deputy Minister because of its reputation for being good at exploration.
Even in the Empire, Latin Asia, the master of exploration, has a very strong reputation. He once discovered four rumored large islands in the south, known as the flying Strand, in terms of exploration , Latin Asia is definitely top-notch
As the imperial maritime trade routes become longer and longer, and more and more new areas are discovered, the Imperial Naval Exploration Department has become an important department of the Imperial Navy, and those who can enter the Imperial Naval Exploration Department are truly experienced The old navy is quite familiar with the islands and secrets in the sea area, so Dusterenkai does not think that Latina will lie on this matter
And this lie is too weird, twenty miles wide, it didn't come out for three days and three nights. . . . . . If it is a big island of more than a hundred miles, the area of Robbensam Island is so large, but thinking of the local fishermen’s rumors about Robbensam Island, Dusterenkai couldn’t help taking a deep breath. , There are sea monsters on Robbensam Island that can confuse people. Anyone who attempts to cross Robbensam Island will either disappear or just retreat. If it was before, Dusterenkai would have to do with such rumors. Will sneer at him, but now a similar report is placed in front of him, is there really a sea monster that confuses people on Robbensam Island? What if there is, if the previous fleet is not enough to explore, then add another fleet to the past. The emperor is coming. Before that, he must figure out the truth about Robbensam Island!
"Okay, I know, you go and rest first, it's hard work. As for the investigation of Robbensam Island, I will arrange it separately." Dustellenkai nodded to the guilty Latina The imperial navy built this naval port with all its strength. To a certain extent, the imperial army used more than 100,000 troops to attack the Kingdom of Aden from north to south last winter, and the main force of the imperial navy rushed to attack the Aden navy for thousands of miles. The masterpieces are all designed to cover the construction of this naval city on the southern coastline of Eero. When Aden comes back to his senses, he has been unable to interfere in the construction of the Weisiya naval city, and can only watch the empire in this vital strategy. Lay this nail in position
And Weisiya Naval City did not live up to the emperor’s expectations. Although it was only a city, it pushed the imperial war starting point from the north of Eero to the south of Eero. The next time the imperial army attacked Aden, it would no longer need to cross. Thousands of miles of rivers are so troublesome, but you only need to bypass the peninsula in front of the protrusion. It is like directly putting the cannon of the empire on the foreheads of the Aden people. It is strange that the Aden people don’t work hard, but the emperor treats Aden. The active offensive and the heavy blows to both the Aden army and navy made the Aden people can only watch this embarrassing situation near the city, and they were afraid of the empire’s growing preparations for war. This is the case in the Red Dragon Palace of Aden. I can’t wait to cry and cry for a truce with the Empire. In fact, to a large extent, I was scared by the naval city of Wei Xiya!
Du Sternkai dignifiedly arranged the report on the table and stuffed it into the file bag, and then ordered the people to be sent to the emperor who is still in the holy capital of the sect country as quickly as possible. Since Robbensam Island has The problem, he can only report truthfully and advise the emperor not to go to Robbensam Island. When he handed the document bag to the adjutant at the door, he heard cheers from the street below
|"Oh, did you start?" Dusterenkai turned to himself, and there were three or four black dots coming in this direction from the direction he looked at.
Weissiya Naval City, although it has just completed construction and has not yet completed the construction in the outer area, it has already gathered a population of more than 150,000 people in the area, of which the Imperial Navy and the Imperial Army have reached 64,000. , There are as many as 30,000 or 40,000 sailors and merchants in the major transport fleets, and nearly 40,000 are more than 20,000 craftsmen and their families recruited from the Héro area.
In the planning of the empire, the Weisiya naval city itself is not only a strategic naval port, but a real city, not only for military use, but also for civilian use. The imperial navy began from here on the entire Gulf of Aden The sea area spreads out, and the imperial merchant fleet also began to enter the Gulf of Aden waters and southern sea areas that have never been entered, and began to open the market of the southern subcontinent, as the southern subcontinent market is still somewhat for the imperial merchants. Unfamiliar, but the Southern Subcontinent’s demand for imperial goods is huge. What the Empire exports to the Southern Subcontinent is mainly military armor, weapons, various luxury goods, specialties of the European regions, and the gold and silverware of the Southern Subcontinent. Because of its exquisite carvings and high value, it is favored by the emerging business aristocrats of the empire.
Weissiya is being called the transit hub of the trade between the Empire and the Gulf of Aden area and the southern subcontinent. This has been smelled by sensitive imperial merchants, and they are swarming, even the imperial merchants call the southern subcontinent the land of gold
And the miracle that is talked about is the huge air battleship that can be seen every day and flying slowly in the sky. The people living in Weisiya get up early every morning at 5 or 6 o'clock. They either leaned to the window or stood on the street and balcony. Everyone leaned forward to the southeast and waited quietly. There is almost never a delay
The huge aerial battleship always appears in people’s sight at 10:30. The hull of more than ten meters long and several meters wide makes the people below look fascinated. Many people He even chased the air warship and galloped on the street. At this time, the galloping crowd, horse-drawn carriages and citizens on horses formed a long stream of people. Suddenly, the morning, which should have been full of silence and tranquility, seemed to be full of joy and noisy like a holiday.
cheers can be heard everywhere, and the people below cheer vigorously "Long live the empire"
Air warships like this always fly slowly over the port city, and the whole process takes about an hour and a half. Because of this, Videsk’s mornings, which always seemed so peaceful in the past, are now very uncomfortable, and the bars and restaurants that had the worst business in the mornings in the past have become extremely popular at this moment. People who have seen the excitement will come to these gathering places in groups, talking about every detail they see today. The bars and restaurants of all kinds have become a place for clamors and disputes, as well as gathering details, almost Everyone is here, telling in detail what they have seen.
These huge air battleships are naturally the masterpieces of the Imperial Navy. The Imperial Navy Department finally completed the preliminary development of airships based on the hot air balloon. As the empire’s deterrent to the Gulf of Aden area, the Weysia naval city is naturally also an empire. The navy determined it as the site of the experimental airship. The Imperial Navy built an airship construction plant here and conducted tests in strict accordance with the requirements.
It’s just that the Imperial Navy itself didn’t realize that the daily cruise test of the airship would have such a huge impact on the entire region, but this influence fell in the eyes of the Red Dragon Palace in Aden, and it became scary. Shocked, those slave uprising leaders still tossing in the south of the Gulf of Aden, after seeing the imperial airship dropping supplies over the southern trading site~IndoMTL.com~, no one made any suggestions to rob the imperial merchants
The imperial airship made the mountain defense line of the Gulf of Aden a barrier. According to the rumours of the Aden people, the next imperial offensive will be an airship full of imperial soldiers covering the sky of the capital of Aden, not to mention, Some people said that they saw the imperial Thor’s gun barrel on this kind of aerial battleship. God, this alone is enough to blow up the entire Aden army
The tragic case of the Imperial Navy’s bombardment of Aden Ansi is still vivid. Now that the Gulf of Aden is blocked, the Imperial Navy cannot enter, but this kind of air warship is unimpeded. If this kind of air warship also acts like naval warships to Asia The princely capital launched a bombardment from the air. . . . . The generals of Aden felt a little dark in front of their eyes. This was a new assault tactic, and the enemy came from the air. . . . It has never been seen in thousands of years, how to fight this! The results of many exercises by the Aden military have proved that this is unpreparable. The opponent has air superiority and can attack at any time, anywhere, and even directly on the top of the Aden Palace, unless Aden has absolute military advantage. But the facts are just the opposite. The main force of the Aden army was stuck in Central and Biyadh. The Yugoslav War was about to start, and the Gulf of Aden could no longer be deployed. If the imperial air warships attacked, Aden would be a dead end!
"Send this order to the Air Court, and use the command of the Navy Headquarters to mobilize the two Air Courts to Robbensam Island." Dusterenkai looked at the distant and near black shadow gradually turning into the hull. He hesitated for a moment, and said to the adjutant who received the document, if the land is not working, then explore from the air! He doesn't believe in any sea monster, if there is one, then catch one!
