Chapter 225: XX. Bishop and Juvenile (10)

Captain Kolchak, no, it should be said that Her Majesty’s Navy planned to sell scrap metal at the price of an unfinished floating cruiser [Riga] with two outdated vintage surface ships [Kiev], [ Minsk】,. Overjoyed by the sudden [pie], Yalfheim quickly organized an advance inspection team with technicians from the Navy and General Equipment Department as the backbone to the United Principality of Ross, and Tyre also participated In the end, the major of the General Staff was deeply stimulated.
The ruined and rusty giant ship, the deck is covered with drying clothes sheets, the feces and urine in the corners and passages are overflowing, the lighting facilities in the cabin facilities are mostly damaged, and the smell and darkness flow out from all corners of the cabin, the entire fleet The eyes are as empty as those skinny sailors, constantly overflowing with a desperation and decadent breath of the end.
"I'm not a navy, I've never travelled on a ship, and I've never even commanded a small sampan crossing the river. But when I saw the two filthy battleships, the sloppy, languishing sailors... …It was a pitiful and despise situation. In fact, as a soldier, I think that situation is extremely abominable."
[Maybe they went out to fight in the sea, stood up high and sank to the bottom of the sea and turned into algae debris. How much could some face be saved, after all, the death of war was originally the fate of the soldiers. 】
Tyre spurned His Majesty the Tsar's "Grey Animals at Sea" without disgust, and then spewed the nameless fire to the military and political officials of the Principality.
"According to some rumors, the Naval Shipbuilding Supervision Department of the Principality has retained a lot of funds. Those money should be used to repair old ships and design and build new types of warships. As for where they are used, there are various sayings, but there are The exact news claims that the Shipbuilding Supervision Department is closely related to the army’s tycoons and Duma’s elders, and once dispatched sailors to go ashore to build villas and villas for those tycoons. As a result, the army became stealing everything and selling everything on the warships. Equipment, instruments, domesticated flying beasts, sea beasts, charts, compasses... I even saw with my own eyes a warship that drank close to the danger line unloading a ship’s cattle at the military port."
Tyre's expression maintained rock-solid perseverance, but his narrowed pupil was telling Li Lin. When talking about the group of [Epaulette Merchants], he needs to gargle as soon as possible.
"The former naval commander of the principality of the Principality once tried to pull down the parasites, but instead he was preempted. The U.S. Navy Chief Marshal Ushakov, who was accused of [corruption], [dereliction of duty], and [treason], rushed to take Before the detective and the military police with the arrest warrant slammed open the door, they cut off their throats with a saber of the Tsar Yuci, and finally protected the last glory of the Principality Navy."
"It's a pity that the man was a famous maritime general and naval war theorist with Drake of Albion, Marquis de Santa Cruz of Castilla, and Marshal Tourville of Charlemagne."
Li Lin sighed regretfully, then smiled again:
"But if the Tsar can get rid of the influence of the Army and Duma and tilt resources towards the Navy, it will not be a good thing for humans and us."
The rich, cigar-loving prime minister and English literature master who has won the dynamite literature award in British history once said: "Our naval strength is directly related to the survival of the British itself, and it is our guarantee of survival. For the Germans Say. Naval strength is expansion."
His original words were aimed at the improperly thoughtful Second Emperor William and his fleet of eventually sleeping Scapa Bay, but they were also suitable for the United Principality of Ross.
Suppose the navy of the Principality defeats the Royal Navy of Albion. After successfully landing to capture the island country, they got a springboard to attack the human nations from the sea, based on Albion, the Principality naval fleet can choose any point on the long coastline of the mainland to initiate an amphibious landing anytime, anywhere. The pirate raid-like attack has called back the mobile power of various countries and made them tired. On the frontal land battlefield, you can pierce the empty line of defense like kicking a broken door, and launch a tide-like full-scale attack. Without two or three attacks, the human camp will completely disappear. The elves in the interior cannot run away.
"But warfare and arms development have never been independent, nor can they be achieved with short-term intensive investment. Especially for technical arms like the Navy, shipbuilding facilities, naval personnel training systems, and the location of ports and docks...the most important It is a supporting marine strategy, sustained financial investment, and support from the national leadership. Without these, it is impossible to build a strong navy."
The navy of the Principality is a living specimen. After the death of the mighty generation of the tsar, the United Principality of Ross, as a traditional land-power country, was led by Qiu Bamen of the army and the nobles who were extremely favored by the navy. Launched a counterattack against the Navy. The phenomenon of the death of the government is once again gorgeously staged. The navy's low position plummeted from the original independent arms to a vassal of the Army. The shipbuilding plan and ship model were all burned. If it were not for them to take on the coastal defense task, I am afraid that even the naval force will be cancelled.
After the former naval commander's efforts to gamble on life failed, the further sinking navy finally ushered in a nobleman who brought a turning point.
"Although Grand Duke Nikolaevich is from the army, this royal family member has always sympathized with the situation of the navy. The idea of ​​maintaining shipbuilding captain operations and retaining talents."
Neither sympathy nor gloating. Li Lin opened the curtains and faintly saw the huge canal of the Sevastopol Shipyard. The dark shadow exuded a sensation of aging in the dim sunlight.
"Dear Siegfried, you are really a punctual trading partner."
As soon as Li Lin got out of the carriage, Baron Nasimov warmly gathered up and offered a friendly hug.
After the successful operation of the first batch of [Lian Renchang Grain], the baron who led the contact and negotiation with the ve company seemed to be more moisturized than before, just a few weeks, and the waist and abdomen curve actually showed a trend towards the belly. Captain Kolchak behind him nodded to Li Lin and his team with a polite smile.
After a few words of greeting~EbookFREE.me~The baron took the guests of V.E company to a big ticket for the naval officers who had been waiting there. According to etiquette, Kolchak, who has no aristocratic identity and the lowest rank, introduces Li Lin to the gloomy navy officers.
Admiral Lazarev;
Admiral Kornilov;
Admiral Istomin...
Tyre, who was one step behind Li Lin, felt a throbbing heart. He never thought that the other party valued the deal so much, and he sent three admirals in a breath.
ps: Guess the small theater
Li Lin: Yesterday’s winner was [Lieutenant Colonel Yang Hao Technology]! Congratulations!
