Tales of the Reincarnated Lord Chapter 272: Before the expedition
Chapter 272 Before the Expedition
The rumble of gunfire sounded for the second time. The 56-meter-long Storm Sail was like a fire-spitting monster, looming in flames and diffuse white smoke, firing a deadly projectile
The steep cliffs three hundred meters away collapsed in the deafening blast, and large boulder rocks poured down on the waves that slapped the reefs.
"His" Simba Wood held his binoculars and opened his mouth wide. The already in front of him was beyond his imagination. He never dreamed that the Bronze artillery described by Lorist would have such great power. For a moment, he was speechless in already. Come.
After a while, Simba Wood finally came back, full of ecstasy: "Large, Lord(s), with such a warship, I can guarantee that there will be no fleet in Grindia that will be our family's opponent"
"Well." Lorist nodded, his mind was still immersed in the two battle reports sent yesterday.
According to the battle report of the Trimble Kingdom sent by Lenmatter last night, Lorist made a strategic guess on the map, and in the end he was surprised to reach a conclusion, except that the Trimble Kingdom was unexpectedly perished. In addition, the 11-member coalition forces that sent reinforcements, in addition to Urumba Dukedom and Delia Dukedom, which have been annexed by Trade Union, at least four or five small countries will suffer from the pitfish.
In other words, after the end of the glass war, the territory of Trade Union will expand four or five times, and it will become the third largest force of Grindia Continent. This does not mean influence or commercial power, but it is on the bright side. The area under its jurisdiction replaced the former Krissen Empire that had been torn apart, and became the third largest country on the mainland.
As long as Trade Union is given a few more years to allow it to digest and integrate these annexed countries, then even if Second Highness unified the former Krissen Empire, it will not be able to suppress and interfere with Trade Union with strong military strength like Krissen Empire a century ago. Development may be suppressed by Trade Union in turn
For Lorist, the most surprising thing is that Chickadee Chamber of Commerce actually used Urumbaha Dukedom as its Chamber of Commerce Territory. This is good news, which means that Chickadee Chamber of Commerce completely gave up the decision to seize Silowas Islands as Chamber of Commerce Territory. It was found from Lorist on the map that this is a very wise choice for Chickadee Chamber of Commerce. With Urumba Dukedom as Territory, Chickadee Chamber of Commerce can more firmly control the Gold coastline in the south of Grindia without having to consume the power of Chamber of Commerce. And Norton Family in the battle for Silowas Islands
"Lord(s), Lord(s)" Simba Wood called Lorist for a long time before returning.
"What's wrong?" Lorist asked.
Simba Wood is a little embarrassed: "Lord(s), I want to go down and see the launch of these Bronze artillery, can I?"
Lorist laughed abruptly: "Simba Wood, you are now the captain of the Storm, you can do anything you want, as long as you don't get the boat to the bottom of the sea. Just want to see it, and get familiar with the performance of this ship as soon as possible. Its characteristic is that you, the captain, do not need to ask me. "
I wanted to launch the twenty-four Bronze artillery guns for the first time after mounting the Storm, and the new battleship was shocked at the scene. Several large cracks appeared and the sea water poured in. Only after insisting to return to Bullhorn Bay shipyard for rework, it took three days to repair. Now launching artillery firing already will not have such a leak. When Simba Wood is familiar with the ship's Lorist, he will set off for Silowas Islands.
After two rounds of artillery firing again, Simba Wood returned to the ship with a look of surprise: "Lord(s), this is really an unparalleled battleship with excellent maneuverability, flexible and light steering ability, and wind. The speed of this ship is not comparable to the Storm, except for the Flying Fish of the Morning Dawn. In addition to the long-range attack power of this Thor-like Bronze artillery, this is a truly invincible battleship. No ship can approach the Storm. "
Three-masted sailing ship is a new type of ocean-going sailing ship designed and manufactured by many shipbuilding technicians in the Bullhorn Bay shipyard. The length of the ship is 56 meters, the hull and the ship's sideboard are 10 meters and 8 meters wide, and the ship is 11 meters and 7 meters in height. It is divided into four floors, the bottom is ballast, the third floor is the warehouse, and the second floor is the gun cabin. Twelve Bronze guns were installed, a total of twenty-four. The top one was the deck, cabin and slipway.
Except for the Bronze artillery, which has a total of 120 guns and 24 guns, the sailor is full of 128 sailors. The minimum number is 52. It can also carry two 200 squadrons of sea assault squadrons. Whether it's melee or long-range attack, it is enough to cope with it. No wonder from Simba Wood's point of view, this already is an invincible battleship.
Lorist laughed: "At the Bullhorn Bay shipyard, there are still five identical artillery battleships under construction. It is estimated that you will have six Storms next year. The artillery fleet will be called the real one. The invincible fleet is more than the invincible fleet of Hidegold Bay owned by Trade Union. "
Simba Wood sneered: "Lord(s), Hidegold Bay is what an invincible fleet. They just rely on people to take advantage when jumping in close combat. Really, those modified large merchant ships are slower than the Storm compared to the Storm. Besides, the artillery on the Storm alone is enough to send all the modified merchant ships of the Invincible Fleet to the bottom of the water.
This is true. Simba Wood is right. The battleships of the Trade Union invincible fleet are remodeled like a moving castle, and they look heavy. In the calm Hidegold Bay, you can also be prestigious. When you reach the sad ocean, you will obviously be dissatisfied with the soil and water. You also have to worry about the wind and the waves when the warship is capsized.
"If you have confidence, Simba Wood, when you are familiar with the ship's nature, you must also record the weaknesses you find unsuitable for maritime engagement, and you can improve at any time during the next five artillery battleships "When the five warships are completed, the shipyard will also build a real big guy, a five-masted sailboat with a length of 120 meters. There will be more than sixty artillery on the ship," said Lorist.
"Ah, there is such a large warship?" Simba Wood drooled: "Lord(s), I must work hard, you must give it to me when the warship is completed"
The seven days will elapse in a blink of an eye. Lorist will take the Storm to Silowas Islands. Before leaving, he held a high-level family meeting in the camp of the Gulf.
"The safety of Terman, Boulder Castle and Xing'anyuan, Hongheyuan and Northern Land Western Ranches will be entrusted to you, understand?"
"Yes, Lord(s)." Terman solemnly salute.
"Waxima, Fierce Tiger Ross guy irresponsibly throws you two cavalry regiments, so I have to work hard for you."
"Lord(s), it doesn't matter, I'm used to already." Waxima's answer made everyone in big tent laugh.
"Malek, after Doles returns, you and he will do a good job of the Chariot Ballista regiment, and then work with Yuri to transport the remaining expeditionary materials and personnel to Silowas Islands"
"Yes, Lord(s), please rest assured that we will complete the task." Malek and Yuri stood up.
"Pitt, the bowriding camp you brought is stationed in Woniugang. Although the mountain Barbarians Clan has not disturbed us in recent years, it should not be careless."
"Yes, Lord(s), I understand." Pete smiled bitterly. His top boss, Joske, was the same as Fierce Tiger Ross. He was also a guy who liked to run around Lord(s) Lord(s). The whole thing about bow riding camp fell on his deputy.
"Pachko"
"Lord(s), listen to your orders." Pachko stood up.
"From today, you will be the deputy of Belnick. You will deliver the second battalion of the Guard to your deputy, and assist the Belnick in the recruit camp to reorganize the third battalion of the guard and build a fourth and fifth battalion. Corps, subordinate to the Five Battalion, Belnick serves as the soldier Captain, and you are his deputy. "
"Yes, Lord(s)." Pachico was saluting, and he was promoted this time.
Belnick stood up: "Lord(s), how to arrange the location of the First Guard Corps?"
Lorist points to the family Territory map hanging behind him: "First Guards Battalion, Boulder Castle, Second Battalion, Turtle Mountain Fort. Third Battalion, deployed in seaport cities after reorganization. Fourth and Fifth Battalions, after formation Three months of disciplinary training is needed, as a reserve team will be stationed in the recruit camp, and the decision will be made after the return of this expedition. "
Lorist can't help it either. This year, nearly 60,000 prisoners in labor service were released. More than 50,000 people will stay in the family Territory, and some will go back to bring their families back. Although the family already started the development and construction of Hongheyuan, some of them can be accommodated. However, these young people who meet the requirements for recruitment are too many. In addition to the expansion of the Heavy Armor Corps and the Lancer Regiment in the first half of the year, an additional round of Ballista Corps was added. The rest are nearly ten thousand young men who are required to be soldiers. Those who are capable of watering are sent to the sailing training camp, and the rest are all stuffed into the approaching guard regiment.
The director of Speer stood up: "Lord(s), our family's reserve is less than one million gold fordes. Such a big expansion of the family armed forces will make our family's funds more tight, plus the subsequent development and construction projects, I worry By May or June next year, we will have no money. "
"It's okay." Lorist waved his hand: "In a few months, our family will have a large sum of money, enough for us to spend. By the Speer director, the new products launched by my family this time are made by You are in touch with Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce, and the gains here are also very helpful to the family. "
"Yes, Lord(s)." The Speer manager sat down anxiously.
"Director Boris."
"Lord(s), please tell me." The former housekeeper of Count Kenmays, now the director of the Civil Affairs Department, Boris, stood up.
"Charade Knight(s) is not here. You are now responsible for the Civil Affairs Department. This year Fengleyuan's tax and Xing'anyuan also started to collect taxes. You must pay close attention to these two tasks."
"Yes, please rest assured, Lord(s), I will do my best." Director Boris bowed his greetings.
"Barrek Father, the family's industrial and mining workshops depend on you."
Barrek Father stood up and answered: "Lord(s), you can rest assured, I won't let you down."
"Shadekampf, you are the one coming out of me. This time you are solely responsible for the development of Hongheyuan. Don't give me shame."
"Lord(s), I understand." Shadekampf has also been trained in the past few years, a smart and capable look.
"The Kedan director and Hanks director will return to Silowas Islands with me this time. The mess left over there still needs him to be in charge of overall management. Therefore, all matters in the family Territory need you to supervise and inspect."
"Lord(s), rest assured when you have me. But Lord(s), I just want our family to go to Hanayabarta kingdom this time, do you really not need to obtain the consent of Second Highness? Anyway, that is also a kingdom." Kedan director asked.
now big tent Everyone knows Lorist Plan to go Hanayabarta kingdom And no one would be surprised that the family Territory Attacked by these slave traders and slave traps, the damage was so severe, Lorist If you swallow and do n’t want to get revenge, then do it Norton Family of Leader Already.
But the concerns of the Kedan director are also very reasonable. If it is the same Aristocrat(s) class, then there is nothing to say. But the other party is a kingdom. According to the rules, Lorist must at least notify Second Highness first, and Second Highness on behalf of Andinak Kingdom protests and negotiates with Hanayabarta kingdom. In the case of communication failure or a satisfactory response, Norton Family can be authorized to retaliate against Hanayabarta kingdom or Andinak Kingdom. Sending troops to attack Hanayabarta kingdom is a so-called diplomatic process between kingdoms.
Lorist shook his head: "Our time can't be delayed, and Second Highness is now Redlis Kingdom. He probably won't care about such a small thing for him. If we wait, we don't know when. .Binggui is fast, just like Peterson Chamber of Commerce captured Delia Dukedom, didn't you not notify Trade Union? "
"Lord(s), Trade Union are upstarts without any system, and it is not surprising that they do nothing. And we are Aristocrat(s) Aristocratic Family that has been passed down for centuries, and we should respect traditional rules. When it comes to such a big event, It is best to solicit the opinions of the higher Lord(s) first, and get a reply before proceeding. Otherwise, it is easy to be said to be disrespectful, arrogant, and related to the reputation of our family. Lord(s), please think about it. "Speer director also stood Get up and persuade.
"Don't say anything," Lorist sank. "Your scruples are also considered for the family, which is quite right. But have you considered the feelings of the family Knight(s) who fell into the hands of slave owners and slave merchants? ? Every day, they will suffer another day of torture, and even endanger their lives. If you want to get the Second Highness's consent, you will pass back and forth this year. Maybe we will wait until the end of next year. Nothing.
Are there any diplomatic relations between Hanayabarta kingdom and Andinak Kingdom? When did Andinak Kingdom recognize Hanayabarta kingdom?
The target of our expedition is not a kingdom, but a pirate's lair, a sinful harbor city that sells slaves. Remember, there has never been any Hanayabarta kingdom, we just retaliated against the slave traders and slave traps that attacked Silowas Islands, and rescued our family members and leaders. As for what Hanayabarta kingdom, it was all made up by the enemy. There is no such kingdom at all.
Remember in a word, those who commit Norton will be far away! Understand? "
"Yes! Lord(s), those who commit Norton, though they must be far away!"
The crowd in big tent stood up and shouted in unison.
Eight days later, Lorist appeared on Silowas Islands. Potterfang led a family of Knight(s) to greet.
"How many ships are there?" This is the Lorist's biggest concern.
"Lord(s), Engelich Great Sword Master, Joske and Fierce Tiger Ross. They currently have collected more than 30 medium-sized ships from already. In addition to our original ships, already is enough to carry more than 20,000 people. Peterson Chamber of Commerce wrote back that they can borrow us ten Four ships, four of which are large ocean-going merchant ships, and ten are medium-sized sea ships, but these ships can only reach Silowas Islands by the end of August. "Potterfang replied.
"Well." Lorist nodded. In this way, as long as Engelich recruited 50 or 60 medium-sized ships, it was enough to send more than 30,000 family armed forces to Hanayabarta archipelago. Then we can go on a mission in September.
"How is the morale of the family armed forces? Do you have any opinions and comments on this expedition?"
"Lord(s), everyone was irritated by the tragic situation on the island. Although the second batch of soldier(s) did not see it, listening to the cleaned up soldier(s) was also sympathetic. They swore to swear to those slave traders and slave owners. Profound lesson. "
"That line can be overwhelming. While this fleet is going to Northern Land to transport the remaining troops, we need to strengthen our combat readiness and training, so as not to become a soft-footed crab each time." Lorist said.
"Yes, Lord(s)."
To be continued.
