: 1,440 Collapsed Union (6)

In September, the rainy season ushers in the northwestern part of the Obaro mainland
A huge rain cloud covering thousands of miles covered the sky. The heavy rain seemed to cover everything. The slopes on both sides of the road seemed like waterfalls at the moment, and the low-lying places turned into lakes or oceans in the blink of an eye.
Like the sword, the blue-blue flash draws a curve like an earthworm in the sky,
The sky, light and darkness are together, the clouds cover the sunlight, making the earth look like a dark night of terror, heavy rain pouring, raging winds sweeping across the roof of the street, the rain forms water droplets like waterfalls on both sides,
A horse-drawn carriage was advancing in the rain, and the horseshoes splashed cold water splashes,
The wheels slowly ran over the puddles, and radioactive water splashed. The coachman wore a waterproof hood and waved the whip from time to time to adjust the direction of the carriage. The trees on both sides of the road were bent down by the heavy rain, and they looked overwhelmed. .
Suddenly, a lightning bolt shot down in the woods. The bright electric awn immediately turned into a flame, illuminating the face of the man in the carriage who was reading the documents,
Lidacus, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Falcon Empire, closed the file in his hand and rested with his eyes closed on the back chair, taking a rest,
The Luarca in the rain and fog is like a comb made of water on top of the head. This territory near the coast is 300 miles long and the population is only 60,000. This is the poorest area on the northwest coast. The economy is mainly based on simple agricultural cultivation,
There are no special commodities, the only famous is the pickled saury in the autumn mountains. The villages along the way are some simple thatched grasses, surrounded by rolling hills. Occasionally, strangers pass by. The children on the side of the road will stop looking curiously. If they are bold, they will chase behind the carriage and laugh,
Such a barren region is almost worthless in the eyes of many countries. It is for this reason that the land of Luarca is rarely seen by anyone, so that it is called the forgotten corner of the northwest region
Lidacus came this time as a fat man's instruction, although Lidacus was not a military talent. But under the guidance of the fat man, he also figured out the purpose of this visit, and won Luarca by diplomatic means. Although Luarca is poor, he has a unique treasure,
After the preliminary survey of the Imperial Navy. It is unanimously determined that Luarca has the best military port conditions on the entire northwest coast. First, the coastline here, like the mountains of Dorok, has a huge inner sea bend,
Second, the location of Luarca. It happens to be located in the middle of the entire northwest coast. Based on this, it can be connected to Normandy, to the Antoros military port, to the Central European Baroque Sea, and to watch the entire Northwest Sea in an iron triangle posture. More convenient
And the third condition is the fatal determination for fat people, Luarca's mountains. Rarely discovered crude oil! In fact, it was discovered that this was completely an accident. A businessman from the Normandy region who happened to pass by was enthusiastically promoted by the locals as a special product called "Dragon Blood".
"Buy a little. This is the proof of the Dragon Warrior! As long as this is taken out, no matter how beautiful the girl will be for you!" Poor locals often use such gimmicks to deceive young people passing by. people,
Anyway, no one knows what this is. In the eyes of the locals, this kind of smell is pungent and unpleasant. After a long smell, it will fall into a coma. It will burn in the event of fire and will not be poured with water. In legend, the magic dragon The flame comes from the blood, and it completely combines the blood of the legendary dragon that rages on the earth due to injury. Such things are often favored by some noble young people. They can use this to please girls, and they can personally ignite them. The magic blood, and then poured down with water, watching the flames still burning in the eyes of everyone in surprise, and proudly stood up, igniting the magic blood to revel at the banquet is a rare fashion expression.
This businessman was a catapult player who retired from the army. Because he was too eager to miss in a battle, he was broken by a falling stone thrower. Although he was connected behind, he had to retire after walking limpingly.
This kind of thing mysteriously called "Dragon Blood" by the locals is too familiar. In the Imperial Army's trebuchet unit, crude oil bombs are not classified.
"What a surprise!"
The businessman licked his dry lips with excitement. He knew that he had made it this time, and he resisted the excitement in his heart. The businessman bought a bucket quietly.
The Normandy region is encouraging businessmen to explore the entire northwest region at high prices. As long as they can bring back properties that are not found by others, or information about minerals, they will receive high official rewards.
Last time he saw a down-and-coming businessman who had returned from Nista, because he reported an undiscoverable big iron mine, and also brought the iron concentrate specimen of that mine, he received a reward of 10,000 gold coins. , Even if there is nothing, even if you draw a map of the new area, you can get a reward of hundreds of gold coins,
With the increase of new immigrants, venture into new areas, and record the valuable things there, has become an emerging profession, businessmen, mercenaries, and even idlers, they use various identities to enter new areas,
In China, those who make money overseas are called adventurers,
They may not have anything, but they have the courage, because of the increasing number of people who make a fortune, so that the new land that was not optimistic at first, the Normandy region has become a lot of adventurers and people who want to change their destiny. paradise,
Returning to Normandy, the businessman immediately reported this discovery to the above. A generous bounty made his happy mouth smile and crooked. On the other hand, this report was delivered to the fat man almost immediately.
Even the internal affairs officials who choose this kind of choice know what this discovery means for the present.
The Falcon Army claims to be invincible. In addition to being brave and fearless, the large-scale use of crude oil incendiary bombs is also an important factor.
Although weapons manufactured on the basis of crude oil are very mature in the Falcon Empire, transportation of crude oil is not easy, and it is easy to burn due to various accidental factors. It is not possible to slosh and collide casually,
The wind and waves at sea slow down, and even the huge dragon-class battleship is difficult to control. Even fat people have tried several times. After paying three dragon teeth ships to sink, one dragon tooth vessel being hit hard, and the heavy cost of two hundred sailor casualties, it was necessary to strictly order that all troops should not carry crude oil bombs to board the naval battleship, so the troops in Normandy. They are not equipped with such crude oil bombs. The attack power of the imperial army is downgraded.
"It's just heaven helping me!"
The fat man looked at the report for a full minute before taking a deep breath. The excitement in his eyes soared, and he must immediately take control of Luarca. When the fat man wrote the order book to the Admiralty,
The foreign minister of the empire Lidacus suddenly asked for a meeting,
"Let him come in!" The fat man didn't lift his head, continued to focus on what was written, and responded to the door,
"Your Majesty!" Lidakus walked in with a serious look,
"What are you doing?" The fat man looked up. Suddenly, Lidakus was wearing a long black legion uniform today, and rarely carried a trace of military murder. Although Lidakus was a civilian, he was also the chief person in charge of military logistics. , The same as having the uniform of the head of the legion, which can also be regarded as a disguised glory reward for the old ministers of the Samorian era. I heard that Lidacus loved this piece of captain's clothing very much, and it is rare to wear it once a year.
"I'm here to ask Your Majesty!" Lidacus stretched his face. Stand up straight, with a hot light flashing in your eyes
"Please fight?" The fat man put down his quill and looked at him with interest,
In the fat man's image, Lidacus's character is a little gentle. Or it can be said to be weak, good at coordinating but not good at combat. It is a genius in logistics, but if it is on the battlefield, it is estimated to be very bad. On the battlefield, when the two armies meet and fight, every second may be life and death, Lida Kus is hesitant, and his habit of thinking before and after will make his subordinates difficult to adapt, and even chaos within himself! This is also why the fat man did not send Lidacus to the battlefield
"The subordinate heard that His Majesty was about to use force against the entire northwest!" Lidakus said with courage.
"Yes, you are right! I do have such an idea." Looking at Lidakus's black background, gold-lined captain's uniform, the fat man's eyes narrowed into a line, and he seemed to understand what
"My subordinates also heard that both the Southern Army and the Central Army received orders from His Majesty to mobilize. I believe that the Northwest will soon be a turbulent battle, and Julius Fowler is seriously ill, and the Northwest has no Lord. His Majesty is prepared to take a swallow. Fall northwest!"
"Your guess is accurate, but I still need some time." The fat man's mouth is a little bit, Lidacus is his own confidant, there is no need to hide,
"Since there is still a period of time, I don't know if your majesty can give her a little chance!"
The fat man smiled and said, "If you come to fight because of this, then it is a little too early. You are also an old man in the army. You should know that it takes at least one month from the issuance of the battle order to the assembly and transportation of the army to Normandy. You Please fight now, I can't promise you!"
"My war is not on the battlefield!" Lidakus looked nervous.
"Oh? What do you mean..." The fat man's voice stopped, his eyes opened like a sword, and the smile on his face became serious.
Lidacus bent down and handed a document in front of the fat man with his hands clasped. "This is the intelligence collected by the subordinates this month. I hope that before the war comes, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can lead and launch a Although the diplomatic offensive and defensive war against the enemy may not necessarily change the situation, it is at least an effort."
"Do you want to disintegrate the enemy from diplomacy?" The fat man took the document and looked at it. There was a rare silence. The plan was okay. Lidacus wanted to open the gap from several areas in the middle, which made the fat man. He stared at him brightly, and said condensedly
"For now, there is no way to stop the war in the central part! The other party will soon be in a state of war with us and use diplomacy to split the other party. It is a good proposal to reduce positive pressure, but you know, this is for you personally , It may be very dangerous, and it will lose its life at any time when traveling between enemy countries!"
"Your Majesty's war has begun, but this is a war under your subordinates, and I already have sufficient consciousness!"
Lidakus stood upright and said solemnly, "Since following the majesty down to this turbulent era, it is so quiet to spend a life, it is the thing that makes his subordinates feel that life is not as good as death, even if they encounter death.
Lidacous's voice paused and said aloud, "At least the subordinates died on their own battlefield, and the subordinates will have no regrets!"
"It seems that you have made such a determination!"
The fat man took a deep breath and glanced at the determined Lidacus. Knowing that persuasion had no effect, so he picked up the pen on the table, wrote it for a while, then folded it and handed it to Lidacus,
Say "Go. As a monarch, I will not stop a warrior. As a friend, I will give orders to the Admiralty. They will do their best to assist you, but time is limited. It will not exceed one month. I hope you can understand, That's all I can do! If the central part is not good, let's start with Luarca, which is farther away. The danger there is much smaller. It is a good choice. I will wait and see for you!"
"Thanks. Your Majesty!" Lidacus shook,
Whether to start from the middle, or from a relatively safer point to the south, Lidakus also thought for a long time,
In the end, he decided to open the gap from Luarca according to the fat man’s instructions. He went to Durstronkai, the imperial navy minister stationed in the port of Oacha, hoping that the navy would send a warship to carry him to Luarca
At the port, he learned that Dusterenkai was having a meeting, through the glass of the conference room. He saw the heroic vitality, Dustromkay, who was planning the entire maritime strategy in front of a group of fleet admirals, although sitting, but the military uniform of the navy ministers, mainly black and silver. Still flat and tightly clinging to his well-proportioned limbs, he showed a strong and capable masculinity, and the eyes around him were full of reverence.
Lidacus, who once also served as navy minister, seemed a little emotional. He saw the navy grow up at a glance. The rise of Dustron Kay has become a legend of the empire. Now even if the star of the empire is bright again, It is absolutely impossible to conceal his dazzling position. In the navy, he was the first person. From a small country navy to a powerful maritime overlord that now spans two continents, he dare not say that there is no one who comes later, but it is definitely no ancients.
This young navy commander who is under 30 years old is making history at every step.
This time, His Majesty’s huge investment in the Navy’s strategy will also receive the due return. Without the Imperial Navy, there would be no situation today.
According to this rate of development, the possibility of Dusterenkai ascending to the Marshal of the Empire before the age of forty is self-evident. The glory of the first naval marshal of the Empire is enough to make it shine for thousands of years and become the admiration of countless young generation The presence
Dustronkai’s imperial fleet has built a solid naval base in the Niesta area. The fleet departed from Niesta and was resupplied in O’Acha. The naval fleet’s combat plan has begun to move towards the entire northwest coast.
The symbol of the imperial naval force, the dragon-toothed warship in the shape of a sea monster, often stopped outside some ports, terrifying the chaos along the coastal ports and threatening everyone. Although there is no clear war, but Atwood Sea City The lessons of the past are enough for many regions to feel the pressure from the sea. As the northern section of the northwest coast, the fall of Niesta and Oacha, the central and northwest regions are also fully exposed, and Luarca is one of them.
His Majesty put the sword of the Imperial Navy into his own hands. This grace had to move Lidakus inexplicably. With this life saver, he would face much less danger. He waited for three outside the conference hall. Hours, several times hesitant to push the door open, but all stopped until the conference room door was pulled from the inside, seeing the former Navy Secretary standing outside the door, the admirals saluted and their eyes were hot.
"You guys are..."
Under the eyes of everyone, Lidacus's face was a little stunned. Most of these admirers were unruly generations. They didn't listen to themselves very much in the past. Now, such an unusual appearance suddenly has to make Lidacus feel speculative.
"Your Majesty's order, the Admiralty has received it, and the courage of the adults is admirable!" Dustroenka stepped out of the crowd and said solemnly. "Our colleagues in the Admiralty have just made a decision just for our former minister. ~EbookFREE.me~ We will go all out, even if it is a whole-hearted return of the imperial navy to adults, if there is no biased care of adults in the past, there will be no imperial navy today!"
"Master, the lord's house of Luarca is here!" The carriage was slightly shaken, and the voice of the driver came in front of him,
Lidakus's thoughts were like cold raindrops outside, splashing on the streets, splashing yellow water at the beginning, and it was particularly desolate under the dim light. Drizzle hit the windows of residential houses with cold wind,
Going off the carriage, a servant put Lidacus on a rainproof cloak, Lidacus raised his head and looked at the ancient building in front of him,
It is said that the first lord of Luarca was a knight named after a rose, and then look at the rose emblem on the iron gate of the building in front of him. I don’t know why, a famous poem flashed in Lidakus’ head,
I have a tiger sniffing roses!
"Will this be his own battlefield of victory? Lidacus stepped on the steps in front of him with a trace of trance, and he has no bottom in mind, but since he has taken the first step, he will go on!
