: 2932 Civilization (13)

Inside the cabin of the Imperial Dragon Tooth Battleship, a middle-aged man in the uniform of Emperor Elero pointed at the chart on the table with his forehand and said with a solemn face Here is the range of the sea of ​​mist. I don’t know what the reason is the perennial fog, and the range is more than a hundred miles. There are as many as seventeen or eight reef groups on the surface ship. In the case of unfamiliar conditions, I ventured Vessels entering the sea of ​​mist often hit the reef and sank. Even if they are lucky enough to pass through the sea of ​​mist, the fleet will be trapped because of the difficulty of returning."
"The mist of more than a hundred miles! Your country should know the reason!"
The commander-in-chief of the Empire Navy Dustronkai touched his nose with his right hand and said casually to the officer sent by the Eero Empire
"How did Lord Dusterenke know?"
The middle-aged officer of the Eero Empire who came to introduce the lost sea originally wanted to pretend to be a mysterious seller. Who knows that he was directly seen by Dusterenkai, and his face looked embarrassed.
This Eero officer is called Cubiasson. He looks a little weak and looks gentle. He is a full-time civilian officer in charge of data storage. He has buried himself in the data all year round. Three years ago, I suddenly became interested in the lost sea in the south, and also submitted a report on the lost sea to the emperor. Although the report was rejected by the military department, the emperor still remembered This man, this time was sent by the emperor as a guide for the imperial navy,
This time the Empire and the Eero Empire Alliance, the Imperial Navy Fleet took the south through the Kailo River to attack the waters of Aden. Eero also cooperated to send relevant guides.
Although the Eero Empire does not have a navy, it is very familiar with the situation of the southern estuary. To enter the Aden Sea, it is necessary to pass the short path across the southern Obaro of the Eero empire's southern estuary and the sea of ​​lost Becomes an inescapable obstacle. In fact, Eero is also very much looking forward to the empire being able to open a path in the lost sea,
"I’m just guessing. It’s been a long time in the sea, and various sea environments have been seen a lot. The unique sea environment must have special reasons. According to my experience, such a huge range of water vapor can’t be long. Time exists, unless it is caused by a unique environment. If I guess right, this sea of ​​lostness should be related to the Kailo River in front of me. It often changes. "Dustron Kay smiled mysteriously, himself The majestic minister of the Empire Navy, of course, cannot be said because he was forced by His Majesty the Falcon Emperor to preside over the construction of the water network project for a full month, and the situation of the river channel can no longer be watched. Look at the wide Kailuo in front of you. The big river, the turbulent water that roared and struck in the channel, rushing towards the south, knows how bad the Eero people are to repair the channel of the Kailuo River.
The sound of the rushing water is so loud, like a restrained dragon is roaring with dissatisfaction. It is more than two hundred miles down the river from Kailuo. I don’t see a person who can be used to relieve the pressure of the river. The water network is actually on both sides of the river channel, densely packed with waist-high crops, all say that the agriculture of the Eero Empire relies on the impact zone formed by the Kailuo River in front of it, which is really nothing. Yes,
If it is within the empire, such as Kailuo, a super large river that spans more than a thousand miles across the border, it has already extended a tens of miles wide water network zone in the nearby river channel, so even if the river channel surges during the rainy season, it will also There is a huge water network to reduce pressure to avoid the tragic situation under the impact of the big river diversion. After all, in this era, the big river diversion is not a trifle. Once it spreads, it is a flooded area of ​​hundreds of miles. The flood has accumulated for half a month, not just all All the food crops have been soaked, countless refugees have been displaced, and the imperial trade channels will also be fatally affected. Even if the empire wants disaster relief, the materials will be blocked in the flooded area.
On the contrary, the Eero people in front of them seem to be accustomed to the diversion of the Kailuo River. From the dense crops planted along the river channel, it can be seen that the Eero people completely changed the Kailuo River as a cultivation season. At first glance, the embankment of the river channel was recently repaired, and most of it was built of mud mixed with stones, and even crops were planted on it. Let’s not worry about it. The width is even more as narrow as possible. I just want to oppress the Kailuo River and it’s best to collapse
It is conceivable that once the rainy season arrives, the Kailuo River flows soaring. Such a channel is a joke. The flooding roaring flood will fill Kai from the Kailuo River to both sides. Thousands of miles of land along the entire Kailuo River turned into mud. Such a huge flooded area, and the closer to the south, the temperature increased significantly. Under the transpiration of a large amount of water vapor, it encountered the humid airflow from the southern sea. It’s not that the fog that spreads for hundreds of miles is strange!
Kubiasen smiled bitterly and said,
Actually, a hundred years ago, the Eero Empire was in the southern waters. Not only did it have a strong navy, but it was once controlled to the edge of the Aden sea. Now, half of the area controlled by the Aden navy was in I was under the control of the Eero Navy. At that time, the Aden navy did not rise. It was not the Aden who ruled this southern sea, but the navy of the Eero navy and the southern fine empire. The south was not as full as before. The land is bad, but it is a real wilderness. Farmers just have to wait for the Kailuo River to retreat in April and October every year, sowing the seeds in the sludge left behind, plus the hot southern climate, often three or four The harvest will be harvested in two months and harvested in two seasons a year, which guarantees 80% of our grain supply
"How could it develop like this now?"
Dustrounkai was surprised. For the first time, I heard that the Eero Empire had a navy, but also, like the Eero Empire, a kingdom lying between the two seas, how could there be no navy, before I feel very strange, but now I know that the Eero Empire not only had a navy, but it did not seem to be under the Adenites
Kubiasen seemed to have thought of something painful, his lips twitching a little. "Everything was because eighty years ago, the torrential rains continued for two full months in the south of Eero, and the Kailo River flooded in the south. Not only was the river channel washed down, but the original irrigation area was also flooded by the flood. The southern part of Eero was immersed in it. Although the latter subsided, the entire southern irrigation area was almost completely destroyed, and the population loss was more than half. The Eero Empire, which occupies half of the land of Baro in Southern Europe, took 40 years to recover. At the estuary of the South, an insurmountable sea of ​​mist gradually appeared.
"Forty years ago, Iero spent huge sums of money, from the newly established two large fleets, 140 warships entered the lost sea area, and finally returned less than 19 ships."
"Thirty years ago, the Eero Empire had no choice but to abandon the southern waters, but also because of this. When we look back and look at the inland sea area, the emerging rise of the Strand navy and the Fraser Kingdom navy is firmly in place. Took control of the east coast of the Inland Sea, and the result was that Eero had no embarrassment and embarrassment for the Navy."
"It's really miserable! A powerful empire, stagnated for decades because of a flood of rivers, and also missed the opportunity for the development of the navy. The encounter with the Eero Empire made Dusterenka more and more feel hunting "The Prophet and Prophet of His Majesty the Eagle" Dustroyne looked at Kubiasen's painful face and could feel how terrible the memory of the super flood in the mind of this Elo officer,
"I really didn't expect that the emperor personally worked hard to promote the construction of the imperial water network, but it was such a deep meaning." Dusterenkai's heart was also full of excitement. "Looking at the south of Erow in front of me, I know that the water network seems simple. The effective measures include what a brilliant vision of His Majesty the Emperor!
It is conceivable that the great floods of 80 years ago, the agriculture formed by the rise of the Kailuo River channel, must be destroyed under such a blow, so the series of consequences caused are the most terrible, not just the irrigation area. By the way, the food shortage of that year should have also caused a large decrease in the population of the Eero Empire
The most important thing is that the Kailuo River channel after the flood must have completely changed the original way. The Kailuo River crossing from the new area is the southern channel of the Kailuo River. Is not just regional agriculture, but also changes in climate and geography
The appearance of the misty sea, the rapid increase of the temperature in the south, this is not normal, Dusterenkai can clearly feel that the temperature here is like a transpiration, planting on both sides of the river channel There are fewer and fewer southwards, and large areas of dry loess begin to appear outside the river channel, which basically shows that the southern agricultural foundation that has nurtured Eero for thousands of years has been unable to save after the heavy damage that year, the center of gravity of the Eero Empire Moving from south to north should also be due to the diversion of the Kailuo River,
This has to be said to be the Eero people. For thousands of years, it was just a kind of retribution for the Kailuo River Channel, which was only plundered!
"Adult, the latest news, the main force of the Aden Navy left the capital of King Aden three days ago and moved in the direction of the lost sea!" An Imperial Navy officer walked into the cabin with a secret report to Dustrom Kai reports
"Okay, I get it!" Dusterenkai took the report, waved it to the officer after reading it, and then handed this information to Kubiasen
"Sir, can this really be shown to me?" Kubiasen was a little overwhelmed and did not immediately receive the secret report. He was an officer of the Eero Empire, and this is top secret information from the Falcon Empire. How can he himself Look?
"It's just a piece of information, and I also need to know your suggestion, are you a fleet guide, don't you?" Dusterenka shrugged.
"So, I'm rude." The flattered Cubiasson's finger twitched to receive the secret message, glanced at it, and froze again. "This?"
"What's wrong? Dustrounka looked at him brightly. With regard to the situation of the Aden Navy, because the distance was too far away, the admiralty department had very limited knowledge. On the contrary, the Eros had information about the Aden. Dusterenkai has long been coveted. Although this guide is not a genuine intelligence officer, this man with all kinds of information in his head is often more valuable than those intelligence officers.
For example, now Dusterenka wants to know what the Aden warship mentioned in the Secret News looks like a huge eagle! The report of the Battle of Qinglong Bay has been sent to Dusterenkai. Through the report, Dusterenkai knows that the Adenites own this extremely powerful warship, as well as a very fast fire-breathing ship, if it is in the mist. In an environment like the sea, even the imperial navy would suffer a great loss
Although the intelligence personnel lurking in the capital of Aden are very little, the intelligence personnel have captured two of these huge eagle-class warships in the Aden navy in the latest Aden naval warship that left the port of Wangdu. Traces, according to intelligence, this eagle-class battleship has a huge tonnage and may even surpass the dragon class of the empire
"It's nothing!"
Kubiasen also knew that he had lost his gaze, he quickly corrected his posture, put the secret report on the table, and said with a smile, "Although I am an officer of the Hérault Department of Military Affairs, I am mainly responsible for data management, and I really understand the intelligence. It’s not much, so I didn’t see anything.
Kubiasen’s mouth smiled to hide his embarrassment.
"It doesn't matter, no matter how it used to be, the enemies in our two countries are now Adenites, and our targets are all Aden navies. At this point, it is necessary to exchange intelligence."
Dustrengka smiled indifferently. The general's style made Kubiasen feel ashamed. The Eero Empire has fought against the Adenians for many years, and it is afraid that the information obtained will be much more than the Empire. In this regard However, Eero never thought of sharing intelligence with the empire. As a guide for the empire navy, he was also severely coded in this respect. He did not expect that the commander-in-chief of the Falcon Empire navy would actively open up intelligence to him.
Dustroenka's smile made him feel entangled in his heart. Should he say that in the past few days of contact, he can feel that the commander of the Falcon Empire Navy in front of him is actually a pretty good get along People. Compared with the invincible naval commander who was ruined by the command post against the invincible imperial fleet, he saw the imperial navy minister wearing a skewed hat with his legs raised to the table lazily more than once. , Such a person, it is difficult to connect the invincible giant who is known as the adjudicator of the sea,
"I saw the giant eagle-like warship in the intelligence," Kubiasen took a deep breath and said, "Although I am not a navy, nor understand the navy, but in the records, that huge eagle-class warship It should be called Aden Dragon Eagle, it is the most powerful warship of the Aden Navy, and it is generally used as the flagship of the fleet!"
"Oh~EbookFREE.me~ I understand, you want to say that two dragon eagle warships leave the port of King Aden at the same time, that is, two Aden fleets leave the Aden Sea" Dustronk touched Touching the chin, the eyes are deep, like a sword out of the sheath, is the dragon eagle level? It turned out that the most powerful battleship of the Adens was called Dragon Eagle! But what about that! The huge heavy-tonnage battleship in the Inland Sea has already proved unable to compete with the Imperial Navy, not to mention only two dragon eagles!
"I, I don't mean this" but Kubiasen shook his head and hesitated and said, "According to the data, the Dragonhawk warship is the strongest and most noble of Aden, and will never leave the port at the same time. In addition to the possibility of the situation, that is the first fleet directly under the royal family of Aden. Only the first fleet is eligible to dispatch two Dragonhawk warships."
"The First Fleet!" Dustlenka's complexion could not be calm this time. Although he didn't know much about the Aden Navy, there was still some intelligence. Among them was the Aden Navy's First Fleet, which not only possessed the Aden Navy. One-fifth of the total number of battleships, and all naval sailors are the most fanatical believers of Aden’s so-called gods. They are truly fearless, even if they bite their teeth with their teeth, it is obvious. After the Aden navy apparently evacuated the two naval fleets, it quietly added the most powerful first fleet stationed in Wangdu all the year round! To be continued.
