: 1911 Who is the bait (2)

In the base camp of the Strand Sea Fleet, Billulan Island, the morning light dyed the horizon to a faint red glow. Several white clouds drifted gently in the red glow, and thousands of rays of light reflected the'jī" swing , The sea water exudes a light halo, everything seems so peaceful and quiet.
　　
　　 "Possibility"
　　
The wheels rolled on the island’s proprietary smooth turquoise paved road. A carriage with the navy flag on the door of the car passed the noisy training ground in front of the Beyond Garden under the left and right guards of thirty guards wearing blue and black uniforms. , Turned over the warehouse full of materials, and followed the wide road straight to the six-story gray building at the end.
　　
　　 The "creak" carriage stopped in front of the steps and the door opened.
　　
　　 An elegant and elegant middle-aged man came down from the carriage, wearing a navy uniform, golden hair curls, wearing a pair of gold glasses, and compared with the vigorously guarding cavalry beside him. He is more like a scholar, but it can be seen from the look on the face of the cavalry guarding him beside him. How awesome they are to this elegant middle-aged man.
　　
　　 "Salute!" The guards on the steps were busy standing at the salute, but the middle-aged man seemed to be immobile like a petrified sculpture. He followed the adjutant quietly to remove the folder from the carriage and hand it to the middle-aged man.
　　
"His Royal Highness, I did not expect that you would come to the base camp in person!" A navy adjutant hurried out from the inside, sweating with a smiley face, this menacing middle-aged nobleman was Prince Anji of the Sea Kingdom, and saw the Prince The stinky face, everyone in the Admiralty subconsciously chose to avoid,
　　
　　 No way, at this time, if the other party looks like a smile, that would be a weird thing!
　　
Some time ago, the strategy of the Hai Kingdom was greatly adjusted, and the relationship between the Hai Kingdom and the Falcon Empire changed from alliance to hostility. Among them, Prince Anji, who once commanded the alliance between the Hai Kingdom and the Falcon Empire, was also deprived of the Second Fleet of the Hai Kingdom because of this storm. The post of commander was temporarily appointed as the deputy speaker of the parliament of the maritime state,
　　
　　 And the Hai Kingdom cooperated with the Gangfei Empire, in order to show the sincerity of cooperation, the Gangfei side was willing to marry a lord of the Hai Kingdom by His Majesty the Emperor,
　　
　　Although the publication of the non-empire is not as good as before, and the territory has been cut in half by the Estonians, but for most of the land is an island, the sum of the empire is still very large.
　　
Moreover, Gangfei’s army has more than 10,000 people. It controls the nine provinces in the south. It has a deterrent effect on the surrounding inland sea countries. It alliance with Gangfei makes the next emperor Gangfei become a pro-sea country faction, and maintains its own for the sea country. Hegemony in the Inland Sea is of great significance.
　　
　　 After screening, the upper and lower parliament of the maritime country finally chose the daughter of Prince Angi, the daughter of Prince Anji, which is the most suitable object for this marriage,
　　
Lord Angenie is old this year, young and energetic, and has a sense of honor for Hai Kingdom. He was just seven years old this year. It is said that he is still unable to fully govern. The non-empire in power, without spending too much, can firmly seize such a big country as Gang Fei, which is absolutely an opportunity not to be missed for the maritime country, and for the father of the county master, Prince Anji The position is a bit awkward. The Admiralty has promised to restore the position of the commander of its second fleet, but the appointment letter has been delayed
　　
　　For the delay of the Admiralty, the Parliament is not easy to enforce
　　
　　The Strands established their country as a navy, and the admiralty has always been superior. Moreover, the admiralty has the authority to decide when to announce the decision based on changes in the situation.
　　
But Prince Anji was obviously unable to wait, was inexplicably pulled from the seat of the commander of the Second Fleet of the Navy, and then was told to send his daughter to Gangfei, and now his detention was delayed. , Any man who has experienced all this will be violently throbbing and lose his calm,
　　
　　In the commander's office of the naval base, Prince Anji said angrily, "Although I have been transferred from the navy department, at least I am still the prince of the maritime country. Isn't Minister Bapla even feeling out to meet?"
　　
　　"His Highness, don't get me wrong, Minister Bapra is holding an emergency meeting about the war, so...
　　
　　. . . "The navy adjutant's nervous head was covered with sweat beads, wiping them again and again,
　　
"emergency meeting?"
　　
Prince Anji looked up into the window and looked at the direction of the meeting room. The light was really on. The Prince frowned slightly. Although he was transferred from the core of the navy, he also heard some secrets about the maritime fleet leaving the port half a month earlier. This time, the mobilization of the maritime power is unprecedented. The three main fleets are dispatched. The total number of warships is as high as 30,000, and the number of sailors is more than 30,000. This is already a large gathering of maritime power in the maritime country. The Falcon Empire Navy Fleet, which is about to enter the southern waters of Gangfei, has many people in the Strand Navy who are discussing whether fighting with the Falcon Empire Navy is worth it. One is the overlord in the outer sea, and the other is the overlord in the inner sea. Separate a life and death? Even the prince himself did not understand whether Navy Secretary Barpra’s approach was correct, but it just did not understand, not doubt,
　　
Secretary of the Navy Barpra was 61 years old and boarded at 14 years old. He became commander of the First Fleet of the Strand Navy at the age of 31 and became Secretary of the Strand Navy at the age of 49. The maritime fleet crosses the inland sea, and is regarded as the patron saint by the Strand maritime kingdom.
　　
Bapra has never married in his life and put all his energy on the navy. Although the Strand Sea State is known as the overlord of the inland sea, it has really formed control of the inland sea, relying on various ports to form a large network of contacts, and the island alliance to become the inland sea Region, a powerful United Kingdom that no one dares to underestimate. The Secretary of the Navy has contributed
　　
　　 "Okay, go ahead, I will wait here!"
　　
Prince Anji waved his hand to the adjutant, and a quiet man came to the map on the table. This was a scribbled map, on which several arrows marked by Secretary of the Navy Barbra could be seen, the first of which The position of the arrows is the first important point on the southern coast of Ganga, Barora Port,
　　
This is the gateway to Gangfei’s southern coast. Whoever occupied Barola would have torn the gate of Gangfei’s southern coast, and on the map, the position of Luo Luo has been circled by a red pen. There are as many as four or five on the entire map, all of which are just off the southern coast of the port.
　　
　　 "Is this... mouth combat picture?"
　　
Prince 　　 looked at the map and took a breath.
　　
According to his understanding of Minister Bapla for many years, these red circles mean to give up. The entire curved and non-southern coast is like a huge fish hook, and these red circles are like a series of giant big The bait uses the entire southern coast of Gangfei as bait. What a big fish is Bapra!
　　
　　At the same time, on the first floor of the Naval Base Camp building, a handsome young naval admiral walked into the hall. He was a man in his twenties, with a tall figure, a brown volume, and pure eyes that seemed to be smiling forever. Compared with the admiral on his shoulders, his age is too young. Even if Minister Bappula, known as the protector of the maritime nation, was 31 years old when he became the admiral of the maritime fleet, he was already the youngest admiral of the maritime nation at the time. Admiral of the Navy, younger than the original Bapura
　　
　　 However, no one dared to despise him. This young duke of the maritime kingdom definitely did not rely on personal relations to become a governor of the fleet. As a leader among the young generals, his reputation is not much worse than other admirals, just a few adjutants in the hall. It is the admirer of this Duke, young and kind, although not very handsome, but clean and gentle. There is the title of Duke, own island and industry, but he is not willing to sleep in the shadow of his ancestors. Instead, he has spent ten years to become a navy admiral by virtue of military achievements. No man, no matter where she is. Treasures in his eyes. From the chest of a female adjutant standing not far away, you can know how much the prince has done to the woman.
　　
　　After finishing the meeting, Naval Minister Bapla dragged his tired body and opened the door. Prince Anji, who was watching the chart at a glance, frowned.
　　
　　 "Minister Bapura!" Prince Anji stood upright, and even the prince did not dare to be brazen in front of the protector of the maritime kingdom.
　　
"His Royal Highness, why are you here? As far as I know, today should be the day when Parliament discusses the bill for sea rescue compensation, and I heard that it was still proposed by His Royal Highness." Bapra hit the sentry at the door. A gesture to let the sentry send two glasses of wine in and walk towards the prince with the wine
　　
"My Excellency Bapra, I came this time because I really want to know when my appointment will be issued? If I continue to wait like this, I will soon become the laughing stock of others! This is related to the face of the royal family!" Prince Anji He took the wine glass as usual, and the relationship between the two was not rumored by the outside world. The prince was originally appointed as the commander of the Second Fleet of the Sea Kingdom, or the strong support of Bapra. Bapra is a loyal person. May not please the royal family, but it will not embarrass the royal family, the two have already formed a tacit agreement
　　
"Relax, your appointment will be given when it is most needed!" Bapra's face looked dignified, he took a sip of wine and said, "In fact, I hope this appointment will not be given because the prince at that time Your Excellency, you will never want to see!"
　　
　　 "When is it most needed?" Prince Anji stunned with a glass of wine,
　　
"Restoring His Highness' position is actually just a preparation in advance!" Bapra went to the window and looked at the white sand beach under the impact of the waves in the distance, and said slowly. In this battle between the Sea Kingdom and the Falcon Empire Navy, the outcome is unpredictable. If it wins, then the appointment of His Highness will be cancelled, if it fails...
　　
　　. Your Highness's appointment will be issued! At that time, His Highness, as a pro-Falcon empire, was able to quickly repair the relationship between the two countries! "
　　
"What does it mean?"
　　
Prince Anji heard his face change, a sudden anger burst into his heart, and the long-pressed emotion finally broke out. He glanced at Bapla, and said sharply, "If you have no confidence in defeating the Falcon Empire, why should you Pushing the country on this path of war, I always think that this war is simply superfluous. We can get along peacefully with the Falcon Empire. As for the more rigid non-alliance, you really think that it is for us A blessing?"
　　
　　 "Get along peacefully?" Bapra turned from the window and raised her eyebrows, her eyes glowing. "His Prince really thinks we can get along peacefully with the Falcon Empire?"
　　
"Why not? From the beginning, the Falcon Empire had no plans to fight us. They just wanted to enter the Inland Sea and start trading!" Prince Anji looked serious. "And the three months we combined with the Falcon Empire, we got The income from trade has increased by 30%. If we did not choose to provoke war ourselves, I believe that we and the Falcon Empire will inevitably bring the development of the maritime country to a higher level. If we unite, the entire Inland Sea will will......"
　　
"Enough is enough, Anji! Why are you still so naive!" The opposite Pabla stared at the prince, waving his hand directly to interrupt the prince, and took out a report from the drawer and handed him a full-faced Prince Anji , Ning Sheng said, "Let’s first look at this report, which is a three-month cooperation period. Your eyes should not only focus on those benefits, but something that really represents the maritime country.
　　
"It is true that we have gained a lot and opened the connection between the inner sea and the outer sea, but you should also know that a child and a giant may become good friends without knowing each other. Once the giant knows the allies in front of him It’s just a child, what do you think of them? The giant will tear up the child without hesitation
　　
　　 It is a pity that the Falcon Empire is that giant, and we are that child!
　　
In just three months, the number of merchant ships entering the Inland Sea by the Falcon Empire was 2,000, and according to our eyeliner report in the Putuo region, this is less than one-fifth of the total number of merchant ships of the Falcon Empire. This is just the number of full merchant ships. In October, when we turned our face with the Falcon Empire, the Falcon Empire had gathered thousands of merchant ships in the Putuo area.
　　
"Seven thousand ships" Ba Pra's eyes flashed and whispered, "Sea Kingdom! Sea Kingdom! Once this locust-like merchant fleet flooded into the Inland Sea, our business line would be the first to collapse in the impact, Inland Sea The country will find that it is a hundred times more cost-effective to cooperate with the Falcon Empire than to cooperate with our maritime country. At that time, were we still called the maritime country? Without the sea, where would there be a maritime country!"
　　
"This...
　　
　　. . .
　　
　　Prince Anji heard Lida Khan beads oozing from his forehead, and the hand holding the report felt like holding a soldering iron was really thunderous and inspiring
　　
He had never thought about it like this before. It was true that there were too many merchant fleets of the Falcon Empire, enough to drown the entire inland sea trade line. I thought of the thousands of merchant fleets floating under the navy flag of the Falcon Empire. In various ports, it was absolutely a disaster of the Strands of the Sea State. These numbers of merchant ships flooded into the inland sea, plus the growing power and prestige of the Falcon Empire. It took a few years. The Strand Sea The country has spent countless efforts, and the huge network of pride built in the inner sea area will be impacted in a scattered manner.
　　
The snobbish eyes of the inland sea countries are famous, who can bring them wealth, they will not hesitate to stand on that side, on this, the financial and material resources of the Falcon Empire are like huge giants, Strand Haiguo has no qualification to compete with it! The Inland Sea System dominated by the Strand Sea State will be completely disintegrated, and replaced by the Inland Sea System dominated by the Falcon Empire. This has been known since the rise of the Falcon Empire in the northern region like a huge business hurricane. It’s not alarmist,
　　
"I'm sorry, this sacrifice of the Love of Love and the Semitic Alliance is not my original intention, but I hope that it can delay the speed of the Falcon Empire's penetration into the inner sea! This agreement will not be implemented until the result of the war!" Pakistan Pula glanced at him and said, "The navy's main force is devoted to the decisive battle with the Falcon Empire Navy. The Falcon Navy is a powerful opponent who defeated the two imperial navies of Gaul and Gangfei. Under Falcon Thor, everything is destroyed. , So we have only one chance to fight against it, and we cannot afford to lose. If we win, this battle should prevent the Falcon Navy from entering the Inland Sea for five years. The maritime country still has a chance to breathe and readjust its strategic deployment. , Making Lingai into the main imperial empire, the strategic direction adjustment of the maritime country will get great help!"
　　
"If it fails~EbookFREE.me~The maritime country will lose the qualification of the overlord of the Inland Sea, the door of the Inland Sea will be completely opened, and the Falcon Empire will definitely attack us. At that time, your letter of appointment will be issued and I will be Resigning and committing crimes, Ling Ai doesn’t have to go wrong, so at least you can have an excuse to quell the anger of the Falcon Empire, and then you will take my place and become the chief person in charge of the navy.

　　
"This may be the last time you and I met." Bapra smiled bitterly and put the report back in the drawer. "Go back and prepare for what you should have. The soldiers have the duties of the soldiers. The royal family has the royal family. Duties, we are actually striving for the Hai Kingdom, no matter victory or defeat! The dream of the Hai Kingdom always needs people to continue to go! I am old, life and death are already a long time, I only hope you know that you will face What a terrible beast the enemy is, and the future of the Hai Kingdom is not as easy as you think!...
　　
　　
I’m sorry, but I used to misunderstand. I didn’t expect your thoughts to be so far-reaching.
Prince Anji bowed his head in shame. This old man dedicated his life to Hai Guo, and now he is ready to give his life at any time.
　　
　　 "Master, Duke Ai Harley is here!"
　　
The voice of the lieutenant sounded outside the door, and a young man in a dark green admiral's navy uniform appeared at the door of the office, with a precious tube-like fluff bag hanging from his waist, and a navy admiral's collar cap in his arm, Duke of Halle, Sea Kingdom Lord of the United Island, Admiral of the Fifth Squadron of the Sea Kingdom, (to be continued) [This text is provided by the sailing update team @武林主主] If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for the recommendation and monthly tickets.
