: Two Hundred and Thirty Black August (8)

Strand base camp Triland Island, emerald green jungle covers a large part of the coast, like a uniform hue, between dense trees, you can see the large and small port area like an incurve, since more than ten days In the past, when the imperial naval forces pressed Triland, the port entered a state of alert. All ships were not allowed to go to sea, and a line of defense was quickly placed on the periphery of the island.
　　
Although the main force of the Strand Navy was destroyed by the whole army, its army stationed in the base camp still has more than 5,000 people, plus the temporarily agitated local defense militia, parliamentary servants, and the island patrol, all mobilized at once. In total, there are more than 50,000 troops. The large and small outposts built according to the terrain of the island, a country named after the sea, most of the men on the island are sailors, or have had the experience of sailors. Those who dare to fight the sea Men, they only need a little organization to be soldiers. The total number of naval forces is only 20,000. In fact, the potential soldiers are not under any medium-sized kingdom.
　　
Decades of conquest of the sea, battleship galloping, caravan exchanges, countless investments from men in the maritime kingdom, no matter life or death, all believe in the maritime country. The decades of life and death have forged the unique fearless death of this nation. Instinct, plus Triland Island is the Kingdom Naval Base, although the fleet is destroyed, but the weapon reserve is sufficient, it can equip three to four fleets of weapons, just a giant catapult used to equip the battleship, spread out on the outer city wall The posture is like the arms of a row of giants. From a distance, it is dense and dense, and it is full of haunting walls on the city ring.
　　
　　If this is not the case, the carrier soldiers of the Imperial Fleet have long been on the island unassumingly,
　　
　　 Such deep layers of defense, I'm afraid that even if it is finished with the Raytheon shells carried by the Imperial fleet all afternoon, it will not play a big role.
　　
This is also the capital that the Stratans dare to delay. The huge depth of the Triland Island is an area where the fleet can’t penetrate deeply. The solid defense on the periphery is enough to make any enemy on the island feel daunting, even in those days. In the end, the Feishan people can only choose to retreat without merit. Isn't the Falcon Empire different? Unless the empire can mobilize enough land troops to fight, it is only a threat from the sea fleet, it is really not a little scared
　　
This is the potential of the maritime nation. The total population of the Strand maritime nation is only more than 600,000. Most of them are scattered on the hundreds of large and small chain islands formed around the island of Triland, and Triland can become Sri Lanka. The capital of the Sea of ​​Trant is the largest of the hundreds of islands because of its geographic area and its land area.
　　
The giant extinct volcano over 40 miles long and 20 miles wide, which has been exposed on the sea, has been the birthplace of maritime civilization for thousands of years.
　　
The island’s inhabited population accounts for nearly one-third of the entire island country. The base of 170,000 people, 16 large ports, and various towns derived from these ports, the honeycomb-like dense distribution extends toward the center of the island. From the foothills of the sea to the uplifting hills in the middle, the layers are crowded together. Several yellow stone steps are staggered like an island chessboard. The high and pointed roofs are round and round, The thick urban walls of the city are like crowded stone piers, giving a real but majestic feeling, and finally falling on a huge upwardly raised mound, separating the high and low layers on both sides. Residential area,
　　
　　The height of the mountains in the center of the island, you can vaguely see a square building made entirely of white marble columns, which is where the Strand Council is located
　　
At this time, in the Great Hall of the Parliament, which can accommodate three hundred people, the golden sunlight is like a beam of light, projected from the huge zenith of the Parliament Hall, a middle-aged man with linen hair, wearing a white The broad robe, standing on the most conspicuous podium in the middle, held up an agreement document, looked angrily at the parliamentarians who were talking about it, and Zheng Se said,'Dear everyone, this is the answer of the Falcon Empire. For peace, you must give up all your overseas assets, give up the accumulation of my Strand population over the past ten years, and give up the wealth that your families have exchanged for generations of blood and sacrifice. Are you willing? "
　　
"The other party is just alarmist. Whatever is invested in the 100,000 army. When the time comes, everyone will be able to drink a pot. This is the island of Triland. Such a robber treaty can never agree! Those wealth are ours, anyone. Can’t take away from us!
Some people around shouted, wearing exquisite white robes and broad-brimmed hats on their heads. This is the tribulation of the Central District Councillors of Triland, as the center of gravity , They have the largest number of people, the most powerful, and control the direction of the parliament. The reply from the Falcon Empire has obviously seriously touched their interests.
　　
"To treat robbers, the most useful thing is not pleading but weapons!" Over the night, this beautiful island turned into a barracks. In fact, during the decades when the maritime nation stepped into the conquest of the ocean, people on the island of Triland , Has always been the main force of external expansion. In their view, it is not the first time in the history of the maritime country that the soldiers are under the city. As fifty years ago, the powerful East Sea overlord Feishan Navy, in the Vogeloizhan The Chinese navy, which hit the navy once, was once in the city and demanded the surrender of the maritime country, but what could it do? It was not the same as leaving in vain under the resistance of Triland
　　
　　 There are still some people who are silent and look ugly, these people are wearing a navy uniform of Strand,
　　
　　 Most of them are naval admirals and the heads of major fleets,
　　
They advocated external expansion, realizing hegemony in the sea area, pursuing war interests and speculative returns. Some of them have fought with the Falcon Empire Navy and have seen the prosperity of the empire. They neither agree with the conservative attitude of the conservatives nor do they agree. The arrogance of the progressives, they even believe that the realization of the maritime hegemony needs to be advanced one by one. They are the maritime neutrals,
　　
　　For them, the Falcon Empire mentioned in the final announcement that it invested 100,000 troops. Those who have a good understanding of the strength of the Falcon Empire do not think this is alarmist. The Empire does have such power!
　　
　　 Many people sitting in the last row looked worried, and they seemed to be nobles. Their looks were dazed, hesitant, and even restless.
　　
　　Members of the central area cannot feel threatened by the Falcon Empire Navy.
　　
　　 Even if it is said to be capable of destroying the city, it is too far from the center of the island. Just because of the failure of the navy, it is absolutely impossible for these members of the center to give up the wealth accumulated by generations.
　　
But they are different. Their industries are in other islands. Once the emperor of the empire really issued this order, Triland, which has a strong defense, may be spared, but what about other islands, the change of maritime strategic power, each The passage between the islands has long been cut off,
　　
In front of the 100,000 surging Empire Army, these outlying islands with only a small number of patrols, what to use to block, for them, the central area is here arrogantly talking about strategic depth, delaying tactics, and completely ignoring other The life and death of the islands, and their destiny, except for being destroyed by the Imperial Army, will not have the second possibility,
　　
For the nobles on these outer islands, for them, the imperial fleet that is suspended on the sea for more than ten miles is so real, that is, the general sword hanging above them, it is possible at any time because of Talking about half-cracking, and smashing their industrial houses into lovers,
　　
"Members, I would like to remind you that the Falcon Empire had a record of landing a large army in the zhan of southern Africa, and at that time it reversed the whole war situation." A young admiral of the Admiralty looked at a group of The central legislator who ignored the crisis in the Hai Kingdom for his own benefit finally stood up and said aloud, "The Falcon Empire said that it would be an army to join the army. It is definitely not an empty talk of intimidation in one fell swoop, and this time on the battlefield of Feishan, Falcon The army of the empire has earned a large amount of combat materials, which is enough to support the 100,000 army to go south to attack the sea."
　　
The sound of argument at the meeting paused. All eyes were on the young man with gauze in his hands. After a few seconds, the middle-aged MP standing on the stage of the conference center gave a sound like being Slammed the face like a scream "What is this situation, what does the Admiralty want to do"
　　
　　 "Do you seize power? When did Parliament need a soldier to decide!"
　　
　　 "This is a conspiracy, this is a naughty and nasty seizure of power by the navy!" another Yi Mei shouted madly,
　　
"I heard that the flagship of the Istanian Empire was sunk by the young admirer's own witness, and I don't know where the young man was at that time!" Someone recognized the young admirer who had committed public anger. The new star in the navy, a good luck named Stark,
　　
It is of course good luck to become a navy squadron admiral at the age of twenty. It is said that many admirers have recommended it. The soldier’s vision is indeed unreliable. This is a seriously wrong decision. How can such an important task be handed over To this person, the Navy is too irresponsible! The sound was surging like a tide, and the admirals of the Admiralty sitting next to Stark turned pale at the same time,
　　
　　 They didn't expect that Stickin would stand up, and one of the hands quickly grabbed Stickin and wanted to pull him back to his seat
　　
　　 "You are too reckless, Stickin!" said the admiral Shen Sheng
　　
　　 "Why, am I saying something wrong, is it true that nobody wants to listen?"
　　
　　Stinker's face showed a daze, his eyes flickered, at a loss,
　　
Even if he is a soldier who can calmly face strong enemies, he can't cope with the rebuke that is rolling like tide around him. He is not a Strant and does not understand Strant's unique environment. Strant The maritime country relies on the navy, but the parliament, which is the highest authority, has always been composed of nobles. These nobles have always been afraid of the navy. The commander-in-chief, there is also a need to perform bó ice in the parliament, this is a battlefield of interests and politicians, not a soldier!
　　
"When is the highest decision of the Parliament, you need to listen to the soldiers!" But the parliamentarians obviously don't want to let him go. A central district councillor who looked at him violently smashed the table with his hand and shouted at Stark. "Anything that humiliates Hai Guo, get out, the soldiers get out." The parliamentarians around them also shouted, "Get out, the soldiers get out!" Get out,"
　　
　　 "Forget it, let's go!"
　　
The admirals of the Admiralty stood up in embarrassment, and since Prince Anji returned to Triland as a captive, the navy has become synonymous with shame, and now there is such a thing again. It was noticed that a white-haired old man sitting on the seat of the outlying parliamentarian, with a scorching look, swept the disputing Central District Councillors with disappointment and shook his head,
　　
　　 is really disappointing! The old man said to himself quietly and turned towards the door. More and more ugly outside parliamentarians also went out one by one. No one made a sound, or looked back. At this moment, the adults in these central districts Still taking care of himself, regardless of the life and death of the outer islands! In order to seize more benefits, they mobilized the power of all islands in the name of the maritime country to fight the falcon empire. Now the main force of the navy will be destroyed. In the face of such dangers, it is the same attitude~EbookFREE.me ~ Such a maritime alliance, even if it is abandoned, it should be!
　　
　　 "Papa" stepped on the sturdy and flexible deck of the Dragon-class battleship, and Dusterenkai walked towards the warship's bow
　　
The back view of His Majesty Falcon talking to his deputy came into his eyes, maybe it was too boring at sea, and the fat man became interested in fishing. This may be the only fun I can find now, just as an emperor Supreme, fishing from the bow without a guardrail, after all, it feels unsafe,
　　
Dusterenkai can only let his water-proficient deputy follow behind the fat man. Hearing the voice behind him, the fat man turned around and saw Dusterenkai. He laughed at the corner of his mouth. "Why? Good news?"
　　
"How does your majesty know!" Dusterenkai's face froze unexpectedly, and said straightly, "The news has just arrived that the eleven island chains outside the Strand Sea State have announced that they will leave the Sea State and are willing to return. The territory of the empire!"
　　
"Isn't it good? The soldiers don't have blood, and the navy has collected eleven islands, and they have all kinds of faces!" The fat man smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, raising the line of the fishing rod in his hand, and the white line brought out an elegant arc , Falling into the sea water more than ten meters away, Strand is just an island alliance. To succumb to it, it not only requires force, but also needs to be split from the inside. The strongest fortress is broken from the inside. With the choice of different interests, there will always be people who choose to betray. As long as someone starts, the empire can be harvested piece by piece!
