Chapter 370: Bad news and big earthquake

　　Newin Harbor, Royal Naval Academy, in the quiet office belonging to the vice president.
Hanging on the wall is a bust of the contemporary Queen Bettysiya Falettis. Behind him is a huge map of the explored world. The mahogany bookshelf is full of geography, politics, economy, and military equipment. , Literature, art, etc.
　　 Of course, a weapon rack with muskets and various sophisticated cold weapons is indispensable.
　　 Obviously, besides the vice president of the college, as a crown prince, the daily life of His Royal Highness Livina is also exceptionally fulfilling!
　　 "Well, Lieutenant General Gustav and the East Lundz Company are acting very fast. When the kingdom colony has no relevant foundation, the first batch of silver ingots has been produced?
　　 Although it only shared the silver mines on Island Three with Sark and Atlan, this year should be enough to give the kingdom's chancellor of finance a sigh of relief.
　　 A detailed battle report and a drawing of a battleship will be sent back along with the specific action process? "
　　 did not expand to view the first time.
　　 Livina, who has been dealing with administrative affairs for a long time, stretched out a bit unfairly. The tightened navy uniform outlines the perfect figure of this pinnacle knight, but unfortunately no one has such a blessing to see the beauty of Her Royal Highness.
　　 In order to cultivate the crown prince’s abilities, all the information that has been passed back to the royal capital Becquer, the various documents that require the queen’s imperial inspection, and the administrative decisions of the kingdom, will also be passed on to Livina.
　　 Although these things have already passed multiple instructions from the queen and the adults who are in the royal capital, coming to her is just a cutscene. But she also needs to make suggestions for handling, because a lot of teachers are still waiting to approve her "homework."
　　 Now that there is no rush for the transfer of rights, it is obvious that any good heir must go through enough experience!
And the situation of Falettis is different from that of Hilius. Although the queen has well balanced the interests of all parties and controlled the army and the highest-end extraordinary power with absolute power, it is still far from the totalitarianism of Hilius. Far away.
　　 Because the economic foundation determines the superstructure!
　　 The domestic steam industry, which is now an example of the mainland's booming steam industry, cannot tolerate the political system that over-centralizes power and tries to control everything.
　　 When most people lose their initiative, rising channels, and even personal wealth, the country will only be lifeless, especially in industry and commerce.
　　 So after experiencing several adaptive reforms.
　　 It is not so much that the ruler of this country is the supreme and noble queen, as it is a large group of interest groups that share the same ideals and goals with the queen, but Her Majesty controls most of the armed forces and guards this country.
　　 And Li Wei Na's performance was of course stared by many pairs of eyes, even though she is now the only legal heir.
　　 But if the performance is really unqualified, the ruling class's interests will even be damaged due to insufficient ability. Then the rights that are part of her will inevitably be weakened by the members of the upper parliament headed by the great nobles who also adopt the hereditary system.
　　 This is a political game, unless you want to become a tyrant who rules by force, this kind of thing has no necessary connection with whose fist is bigger.
　　 "Hey, sometimes I really envy my sister"
　　 Liweina looked at the gradual rejuvenation of the campus outside the window, patted her cheek lightly, retracted her inexplicable thoughts, and picked up the drawing.
　　 just looked at the signature, and a smile appeared on her face:
　　 "As expected of my guardian knight!
　　 The appearance of the battle in Potosi is dazzling.
　　 was the first to obtain information on the silver mine, and blocked the main supply line of Hilius while hiding himself, and finally completed the battle on the advance island.
　　 Hilius, who used the time difference to give the overall strength an advantage, also had to compromise and gave up part of the interests that belonged to Potosí.
　　 And it didn't take long for him to be promoted to an official wizard, which is really impressive.
　　 Let me think about what should I reward him besides the military job?
　　 Higher authority in "Violet Eye"? Ocean Secret Treasure? Witchcraft material? Mysterious knowledge? still is"
　　Because of Ivan's identity as a guardian knight, his military exploits are of course also part of Wella's advantage, and her recent performance has greatly raised her face.
　　 Even the finished silver ingots belonging to the No. 3 silver mine have not yet been shipped back, but during the recent period of time the Crown Prince has received a lot of praise.
　　 Even the "Sword Saint Rose", who has not paid much attention to mundane affairs, has rarely expressed his concern for him. It is obvious that "Jane is in the emperor's heart".
　　 Of course she was in a good mood when she saw Aiwen's name.
　　 Then I went to look at the content on the drawing, the ship structure, the transformation principle, the firepower configuration of the final ship, and the performance parameters. It took a long time to look complicated and sigh:
　　 "Huh! Ivan didn't study under the principal of Princeton, and I don't know whose loss it was."
The invention of weapons can only exert its greatest value in the hands of large powers at the level of the country. Moreover, the transformation plan was jointly completed by Ivan and the ship engineer named Walkley Jeffrey, and there is no further concealment. necessary.
　　 simply dedicated to his lord, he is still very relieved of Livina's style, at least he won't let himself suffer.
　　 suddenly.
　　咚! Boom! Boom!
"come in."
　　 The assistant Linda in the same uniform pushed in and put a pot of freshly brewed black tea and a letter from "Violet Eye" on Livina's desk.
　　 "His Royal Highness, rest for a while, it just so happens that there is a personal letter from you here."
　　 put down the drawing of the heavy-duty cruise ship, picked up the letterhead that had been sealed by the receiver of the witchcraft association, and with some surprise pulled out a bi-ying and thin letter paper.
　　The slender eyebrows slightly picked:
　　 "Huh? An urgent letter sent by the "Spirit World Messenger"? It turned out to be Aiwen?
　　 How long did he get his own spiritual messenger soon after he was officially promoted? "
　　 unfolded the letter paper and glanced roughly, and couldn't help but let out a chuckle:
　　 "Is this aimed at Hilius? Ha ha, our Captain Ivan doesn't have a small tone!"
Seeing the title, Livina knew what the letter was talking about. She didn't care too much at the beginning. After all, with her own experience and experience at this time, she couldn't imagine how to completely overcome the seemingly invincible Hilius. Pull down the altar.
　　 Not even among the senior leaders of the kingdom can come up with a feasible plan. Livina doesn't think that a young man who is only seventeen years old can have a far-sighted vision.
　　 If someone else writes this kind of thing, even those of the elite youths in the capital, I’m afraid she just throws it into the trash can without even the interest of a glance.
But even if it’s just for the name Aiwen, it’s worth taking the time to read this letter. By the way, write a reply letter and give him advice on what is the situation on the mainland, what is a strategy, and what is a great power game, otherwise Sorry for the theoretical knowledge I learned.
　　 Even if I don’t think the plan in the letter is feasible, the original intention of this guy to advise the kingdom is to resolutely defend it!
　　 However.
　　 Although the paper is thin, the amount of information in it is really a lot, and there is no false big empty word or inexplicable slogans. Large-scale theoretical analysis and specific solutions, and various data are listed clearly.
　　 Just glanced at the text, and Livina was completely sunk.
　　 Afterwards, after reading it again and again, the expression on his face kept changing.
　　 Wow
　　 Until the pot of tea sent by Linda was almost cool, she suddenly stood up and almost brought the chair behind her back:
　　 "Linda, hurry up! Let's go to the principal of Princeton, I need to use his power to talk to your Majesty instantly!"
　　 Before leaving the room on a windy walk, she did not forget to take the drawing of the battleship.
　　If this can be implemented smoothly, perhaps this new type of warship that abandons large fleet operations and is designed to break the battle will have a very different meaning to the kingdom!
time flies.
　　 a week later.
　　 The streets and alleys still have the festive atmosphere of the previous engagement ceremony in Santa Cruz, the capital of Sirius, ushered in a warship with fiery red sails.
After the "Red Maple" escaped from the "Maelstrom", no longer dared to cross the "Eye of the Black Sea~EbookFREE.me~" along the established route, but yaw north and entered the Trident Ocean Current, with its own extraordinary powers and ocean currents. The power of the vehicle will return to home at an extremely fast speed.
　　 Under normal circumstances, the shortest route of the large fleet through the "Eye of the Black Sea" would take more than two months, and it would take more than a month from the "Eye of the Black Sea". The "Red Maple" only took eight days.
　　 But they did not bring good news to the long-awaited Hilius executives.
　　 Or rather bad news is more appropriate.
　　The large fleet loaded with countless gold and silver treasures has encountered the invincible "Maelstrom" Charybdis in the "Eye of the Black Sea" and the entire army is destroyed!
　　 Hearing this news, from Philip II to the senior officials of the kingdom no longer care about investigating this natural disaster or man-made disaster, and even more concerned about the huge loss that is enough to make people vomit blood.
　　Because of the more pressing issue before them.
　　 The collapse of the Treasure Fleet also means that this country, which is based on the military, will have its military expenditures for almost the entire year to come!
　　 and must do everything possible to make up for it, otherwise a series of chain reactions will be unimaginable.
　　 Where can such an astronomical deficit be made up?
　　 "Still an overseas colony"
at the same time.
　　 The aftermath of the earthquake has spread far.
　　 Even under the strong blockade, the influence of this news is no less than that of a financial tsunami that occurred in the modern world.
　　East to the Peacock Islands, west to the New World across the eastern and western boundaries of the world that has been proven by mankind, many people can smell the faint aura of anxiety in the air, which comes from every Hilius garrison base around them like the Great Wall on the sea
