Chapter 468: New World (3)

Under the pale sky, more than two hundred battleships of the "breath of the holy dragon" formed a huge square array, slowly moving on the sea.
At the same time, in accordance with the guidelines set by the Emperor Caesar, other black shirt soldiers will continue to ammunition and grain to the New World. They will follow the previously opened routes and pass through the West Sea Islands, the Eye of the Storm and the windless zone. And finally arrived in the coastal islands of Villost.
After the Emperor Black Dragon defeated Monet's return in the El Sala area, the focus of the empire was adjusted to the plan to conquer the New World. In order to cope with such a large-scale strategic deployment, in addition to putting two-thirds of the Imperial fleet into the task Caesar also invested several times the previous military budget, ordering the dockyards in all regions to operate at full capacity, providing more ships and ships to ensure the steady progress of the empire.
When the assembly line dockyard is operating at full speed, the empire can transport five hundred "guard" class ships, tens of thousands of soldiers and artillery in the front line when the Holy Dragon's Breach arrives in Villost within three months. Ammunition and even armored tanks. Of course, from the perspective of Caesar's other world, such a scale of transfer may be easily completed by any small country, but in Eladia, this is an incredible feat, and such a military force is enough to defeat one Medium-sized country.
When the war is steadily advancing and the ocean fleet has established enough black wing occupation areas in Villost, the vanguard will be responsible for continuing to deepen. At the same time, the Northland will also transport the inhabitants (colonizers) to take root in Villost, and start the process of resource plunder .
Although the Empire was facing the pressure of ocean wars during this period, the good news was also good-the economic situation has improved and climbed upwards, new main battleships have been put into the experimental stage, and the infrastructure construction projects across the country have ended in a blowout.
In the international situation, the Jackal Clan in the east announced the establishment of the Kingdom of the Wolf Heart and agreed to become a vassal of the Blackwing Empire. After the battle of El Sarah, the prestige of the Blackwing Empire increased linearly. With foreign countries all moving closer to the Black Wing Empire, the situation of the north and south poles constructed by Emperor Caesar at that time had already taken shape.
All this went on orderly for two months. On this day, Caesar was shaking her tail lying on the ground, staring at the sleeping Luna in a daze, and then got the news that Corvette had come to visit Wang Ting.
Corvette Velon was a shipbuilder from the trade city and founder of the Northland Dockyard industry nine years ago. The design of the three main battleships and frigates of the Black Wing Empire was made by him. He was awarded the title of aristocracy and is now responsible for the empire. Ship research and future development.
For those who made great contributions to the empire like Covett, Caesar would certainly not avoid it. The black dragon rarely transformed the form to the second form, and gave the master absolute respect, and met him at the Blackwing Court.
The palace is surprisingly quiet. Unlike the palaces of rulers in other countries, there are no hordes of waitresses, servants, and soldiers. There are only a few guards at the gate. After all, this place does not require much vigilance. The residence of the Black Dragon Emperor A few words are the biggest deterrent to the outside world.
Corvette walked in step by step. He looked up and could only see the King of Dragons on the throne of Gao Ling.
"Your Majesty," he said.
"Mr. Corvette."
Caesar's body leaned forward slightly: "I heard Hogg said that you have made new progress in the research and development of the new main battleship that you are responsible for. Now it has been put into a small-scale experimental stage. Thank you for your efforts for the country for so many years, I think Every citizen of the Blackwing Empire should remember your name. "
Corvette bowed: "Yes, the empire has given me the opportunity to live a well-groomed life and to show my ambitions. Naturally, I should use my modest ability to help the country as much as possible."
Caesar stood up and looked at Corvette's face, a pale and engraved face, with yellow teeth and gray hair. The shipbuilder's life went through twists and turns, after experiencing the pride and frustration, he came to It was only after the northern land that he was able to display his talents and find his home.
"Mr. Corvette," said Caesar, "this time I suddenly visited the royal court. I don't think you came to ask me for a reward. If you have any difficulties or novel ideas in your work, you can tell me directly that the Empire will Give you maximum support. "
"Praise the empire."
Corvette said the southerner's idiomatic phrase: "Yes, I spent some time studying the Empire's Villost strategy a few days ago and found that if we want to ensure the steady implementation of the plan, our current sailing power must be expanded by three to four Times, that is to say, shipbuilding workshops in various regions need to operate at full capacity for nearly two to three years to complete the expansion of the imperial navy. Sailing and war losses have not yet been calculated. "
"Yes," Caesar said faintly. "Hog had already told me the calculation results during the strategic deployment. The empire is preparing plans for the expansion of dockyards in various places."
"I have no doubt about the power of the empire."
Corvette said, "The expansion of the dock is not a problem. The real problem is the recruitment of talents. Just like a magician, every apprentice needs a long time of study, research and practice to grow into a real shipbuilder. This process may It takes five years, ten years or more. The miracle of the empire, the assembly line factory, can produce a large number of parts and consumables for ships in batches, but many components and core parts still require the shipbuilder to carefully manufacture and debug. To complete. "
"The shortage of talent will be your biggest obstacle to expanding the shipbuilding industry. As far as I know, the graduates of Imperial College who have invested in the shipbuilding industry have not yet won the title of shipbuilder."
Corvette was right, Caesar looked upright and said, "You are very careful, Master Corvette. This is indeed a problem that the empire has a headache on the surface. Only time can solve it. But since you came to me intentionally, When it comes to this, what solution might come to mind? "
"Excuse me. You are right, this problem cannot be solved until a new generation of people grow up," Cowitt said. "But shipbuilding is urgent. In this case, maybe we can choose another solution. "
"Tell me."
"You know, I am from the capital city of Nice, a city of trade, known as the City of the Inland Sea. It was once a place of great economic prosperity for ships. The business is declining, and it is no longer bustling as usual, "Cowitt said." But there are still countless excellent shipbuilders and dockyards. "
"carry on."
"Although I have no ability to persuade those shipbuilders to come to the north, the Empire can provide drawings and design requirements to those dockyards and buy ships from Nice in bulk import. I believe that at the local level, the manufacturing meets The ships we require are not difficult. "
"Great idea."
Caesar sat down, clutching his head with his hands, staring at Covette, adding a bit of chill to his voice: "But sir, do you know that the trading city state has cut off its commercial relations with the Northland and stood on the side of the Sunburst Empire, In a sense, it is the enemy of the empire. Now you tell me that you want to mass-customize ships to Nice and transfer the wealth of the empire to the trading city-state. "
"Your Majesty." Corvette's heart tightened, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead. "I have no selfishness!"
In fact, there is, Corvette is an ordinary person, with ordinary emotions, the city of the Inland Sea is his hometown, even if he has been hurt, he is still full of affection for that place.
Today's inland sea economy is declining and the shipbuilding industry is dying. Of course, if there is an opportunity, Corvette hopes to pull it and change the status of Nice ~~ EbookFREE.me ~ He is not a soldier or politician. For the current international The situation, the shipbuilder ignored it intentionally or unintentionally, but after being pierced by the emperor, he could not help but tremble with fear.
"But you're right." After a moment of silence, Caesar smiled again, saying, "It is imperative that we build all the available power. Ships should use all the available power. I will arrange for people to communicate with Nice. Hope You can also contribute from it. "
Regarding the capital of Nice, Caesar has also conducted investigations before. He knows the historical background and distress of the city. The reason why he agreed with the plan proposed by Cowitt was that in addition to the empire really needing ships to import, he also planned to win the capital of Nice.
The head of the trading city state, Tower Shangmu, chose to stand on the side of the sun-falling empire, but the owners and people of the ten cities of the trading city state did not necessarily think so. The Blackwing Empire gave orders to Nice, and Nice gave Blackwing goods. Simple trade, but it's not that simple.
In the pre-Northland era, soldiers never obeyed the lords who provided them with food, not the nominal kings or emperors.
"I'm honored that I will fulfill your order." Corvette ordered to step down.
