The types of warships in the Raging Wave Navy are very diverse. In addition to the tower ships that serve as flagships, the most numerous ones are assault warships.
To put it bluntly, this kind of ship is a reduced single-story ship. It is narrower and slender. The hull ranges from ten to twenty meters. It is completely determined by the keel. It has a ram, a sail, a small sail and a large number of treads.
paddle.
The small one can only carry twenty or thirty people, but the big one can accommodate fifty or sixty people without any problem.
The advantages of this kind of ship are obvious, that is, it is fast enough and can use all three methods of sailing and oars, just like flying fish on the water. It is the best choice for attacking and charging. When necessary, it can be equipped with long archers, which can also provide long-range support.
.
The disadvantages are the same as those of large-scale boats. They are flat-bottomed boats with a relatively high center of gravity and poor protection against wind and waves. They can only rule the roost on inland rivers. If they go to the sea and there is a little wind and waves, they can be taught how to make boats.
However, for a short period of time, the Raging Wave Navy has no chance to deal with the sea, so they are sufficient.
Furthermore, there are many troop carriers converted from fishing boats. They simply carry tools and are really nothing worth mentioning.
Rock number.
One of the three flagships of the Raging Waves Legion, stationed at Andis Inland Lake.
However, since the day it was launched, it has not been idle. It not only serves as a training ship, but also serves as the general headquarters of the Raging Waves Legion.
When necessary, it has to act as a transport ship to transport craftsmen and supply and demand supplies to the historic fortresses. Who can make it have a large enough load capacity?
Although the Explorer, Gemini, and Rock were built by the same shipyard, the same people, and the same technology, they are still very different and each has its own characteristics.
After all, the current shipbuilding process relies heavily on materials, especially the keel.
The final appearance of a ship is mostly determined by it.
The Explorer's keel is slender, so it is relatively narrow, and its various protective armors are the weakest, but its speed is the fastest among the three, so it is transferred to the cruise mission.
The Gemini is not named after the Twin Cities, but because of its own characteristics. It is built from two relatively small keels, and its horizontal development is relatively serious. From a distance, it looks like twins hugging each other, matching the Twin Cities.
It can only be said to be fate.
The Gemini is the slowest of the three, but it has the strongest carrying capacity and the most ferocious long-range firepower. But so far, its greatest use is to serve as a transshipment cargo ship for the northern and southern cities of the Twins, carrying people and goods.
The only time it was used in a military operation was to cooperate with Anji Beina to seize the ports along the Jacob River. From the beginning to the end, there was no chance to fire a cannon or an arrow, and it was completely used as a large troop transport ship.
This situation is likely to continue for some time. The strategic advantage of the Yongye army is too obvious. Now it is overwhelming and there is no need to use all its strength.
The keel of the Panshi is the largest one, including the Rose and Angie Beina. Since it was completed last, the craftsmanship is also the most sophisticated, and it already has a four-layer structure.
All performances are quite satisfactory, with no strengths or weaknesses. It can advance, attack, retreat or defend. If you stick it on the river, it will be a rock.
It is the first prototype finalized by Yongye Shipyard, and will be mass-produced in the future, all of which will be this rock-solid model.
At this moment, the war room of the Rock is abuzz with people, and a pre-war meeting for the Swamp of Despair is being held to make final preparations.
"I think the most important thing about eating the Despair Swamp is not how much land we occupy. After all, the land will not run away. It is about breaking the claws of the jackals who are peering into it so that they have no ability to compete with us. We can develop it little by little.
It’s the right path, otherwise if our front foot is developed and they hit us with their back foot, we won’t be able to survive the two blows.”
Kelman, the young and powerful chief of military staff, is the most typical hawk among the military staff. He advocates attack, attack, and attack again. In his eyes, offense is the best defense.
He also respected this during the military operation in the Swamp of Despair.
His current words are already quite mild. Previously, he advocated taking them by surprise, attacking the Kingsley family, and crippling them all. By then, he would naturally not be able to compete with them for the Swamp of Despair.
This strategy was rejected by Sean with a veto.
If we do this, we will certainly eliminate Swamp of Despair's biggest competitor.
But the nature of the matter has completely changed. It is no longer a fight for the Despair Swamp, but the Eternal Night Army leader taking the initiative to attack the Byron Alliance leader.
At that time, even the Regent Princess Sophilia will not be able to speak for them. On the contrary, under the joint pressure of all the Grand Duke families, it is very likely that the entire Byron Alliance will march into the Swamp of Despair and even attack the Eternal Night Army.
By then the situation will be even more chaotic and uncontrollable.
Although the Kingsley family is the biggest competitor to the Eternal Night Army in the Swamp of Despair, at a certain level, they are also allies. Before they are sure that they have completely lost their ability to compete, the Kingsley family will kill other greedy people.
Keep out.
In other words, before the Kingsley family is eliminated, the enemy is overt and we are covert.
Once they eliminate the Kingsley family from the game early, it will become a battle between the enemy and the enemy.
How to choose is self-evident.
The young chief of military staff did not give up his opinion and settled for the next best thing. He believed that the military layout of the Yongye Army should focus on the line between the Carthus Hills and the Swamp of Despair. When the time came, he would beat the Kingsley family by calculation without intention.
Ambush, this is not crossing the line.
"We can't just look outside the Swamp of Despair. According to various intelligence reports, the number of indigenous people in the Swamp of Despair is not small, especially on both sides of the Donau River, which is their main settlement. Once we enter on a large scale,
, they will never sit idly by and ignore us. If we unite, we will be a terrifying force. To them, we are out-and-out intruders. If we are not careful, we will fight to the death."
The speaker was Brann, another chief of military staff of the Military Staff.
A smart person is not necessarily a magician, but a magician must be a smart person.
As one step away from being a master-level warlock, Brann is the smartest among smart people.
Even though Yong Ye's military commander deliberately made things difficult for him, he still passed the customs with excellent results and entered the Military Staff Department.
Everything here opened his eyes, and he knew that the Walled City Alliance's defeat was not unfair at all. Even without the invasion of the mountain Kentana barbarians as an inducement, the Yongye Group Army at that time won the Walled City Alliance with its own ability.
It's not a difficult thing, it just depends on whether you are willing to bear such a big loss.
Therefore, he accepted the fact that the Walled City Alliance was a thing of the past faster than his father, Ban Hebrew, and quickly learned and integrated into the brand new group of Eternal Night Army Leader.
After three years of study and training, he has become a qualified military chief of staff, fully committed to planning for the Yongye Army.
Brann's finger drew a line on the large military map.
This line is as winding as a giant python dormant in the swamp of despair.
It is the Despair Nu River, also known as the Donau River. Since the water level at the source of the Andis Inland Lake has dropped significantly, its flow has been seriously affected. Now it is more appropriate to return to the old name of the Donau River.
The banks of the Donau River are covered with densely packed flags of different sizes.
Each flag represents a Crocodile Clan village.
There is no doubt that most of these are due to Sean, who used the Thunder Golden Eagle to detect them at high altitude.
There is also some supplementary information from Hawkeye, but it is very small.
Not to mention that the Crocodile tribe is very xenophobic, and outsiders cannot easily integrate in. The Despair Swamp itself is a dangerous environment, and if an unfamiliar person breaks in rashly, ten lives will not be lost.
The leader of the Yongye Army once tried to spread his eagle eyes here, and it was not just a wave.
But most of those well-trained eagle eyes gave up this attempt after they never returned.
"Just kill all these uncivilized barbaric natives." Andis Tiger Tagore's eyes were full of eagerness to try.
He is a standard war madman who gets excited when he smells the smell of war. Especially after becoming the commander of the second legion of the Yongye Group Army, he has not yet fought a serious battle. This makes him full of resentment. If he does not fight,
, why raise so many soldiers?
"In the eyes of the Byron people, we are also a group of barbaric natives." Erikson replied quietly.
"This is not the same thing at all!" Tagore said with wide eyes, "According to what you say, we still have to ask them to join us? Even if you are willing to beg in a humble way, they will agree to it. Let me tell you, this
This kind of thing depends on the fists. As long as our fists are hard enough and hurt them, they will take the initiative to ask us to let them join."
"This is the principle, but things cannot be done this way." Ban Heibei, who has become the chief military staff of the Yongye Army, twirled his beard, "Be polite first and then send troops, and first be soldiers and then be polite, are completely different things. For the sake of the interests of our territory
Regarding reputation, I think it is more appropriate to be polite first and then fight."
"That's right, we are now considered a reputable force. We still need to follow some rules. It's not too late to test the opponent's attitude before adopting a strategy."
"Anyway, we still have plenty of time now, why not give it a try, it won't cost us anything."
"I agree to be polite before fighting."
"I also agree to be polite before fighting."
Other senior leaders of the Yongye Army expressed their opinions one after another, and most of them chose to be polite before fighting.
As one's own strength increases, one must always show the magnanimity of a strong person. The leader of the Evernight Army is not an extremely strong person now, but he is at least one step ahead of the Crocodile Tribe people.
Speaking of which, Lan Xili also played a role in this. He said that the Andis people, the Byron people, including the current Crocodile people are all the same race. The people of the ancient Andis empire were just the environment that made them
The appearance just became a little different.
Although the senior leaders of the Yongye Military Leader have not completely accepted this idea, when they look at things, they are standing on a higher level and are no longer bound by the racial identity of the Andis people.
And this is exactly what Sean wants to see, and it is not in vain for him to force them to attend Mr. Lan Xili's class.
Paying too much attention to racial identity will certainly make them extremely united, but it will prevent them from integrating into the larger group.
Compared to the Byron Alliance, the Andis people, who have been confined to the Andis mountains for so many years, are ultimately a small race.
If they want the Byron Alliance to accept them, they must also face each other squarely.
It was precisely because of this series of foreshadowing that the policy towards the Princess Regent did not encounter strong opposition.
"Then let's be polite first and then fight." Sean decided and set the main tone.
He now has a deep understanding of the way of power. At a military meeting like this, he rarely expresses his opinions immediately, even if before that, he already has a draft in mind.
You also need to listen to other people’s opinions before speaking.
If the situation is like this, and the development of the entire meeting coincides with my own ideas, it will not be too late to come forward to finalize it, which will not only give everyone an illusion of democracy, but also conform to my own wishes.
If the development of the meeting goes against his own ideas, he will use hints and speak out through other people's mouths. If he is still opposed by the majority of people, he will put it aside for further discussion.
Repeatedly, others will more or less understand his thoughts, and then compromise with each other to achieve a result that everyone is happy with.
Of course, rough guys like Skullcrusher McGee and Andis Tiger Tagore basically laughed off the whimsical ideas that popped up when their foreheads got hot.
Ever since Tagore joined, Skullcrusher Mikey has started to play deeper. It's not that his scheming has improved a lot, it's actually that this tiger is not only quick with his sword, but also quick with his mouth, and has preempted many words that originally belonged to him.
Became the target of bombing.
But he never tired of it.
As for whether he wants to gain more sense of existence from these unique viewpoints?
Or is his idea really different? That's not clear.
Even after setting the main tone, Tagore still muttered, "Just wait and see, this kind of posturing will not lead to anything. In the end, it all depends on whether the fist is strong enough."
Fortunately, many of the opinions of such rough people are blurted out without any deep meaning. Naturally, they will not be too insistent and will not take it seriously if they are rejected.
After finalizing the policy of courtesy first and then military deployment, the choice of envoy became a problem again.
The situation this time was completely different from when Erikson went to the Silver Wolf Tribe as an envoy.
When Erikson went on a mission to the Silver Wolf Tribe, the leader of the Yongye Army already knew the situation there, and even the temperament of the chief of the Silver Wolf Tribe was well understood.
Calculate that even if the other party does not accept their proposal, it is impossible to embarrass their envoy, which is far less dangerous than it seems.
On the contrary, when Erikson was making suggestions for the Silver Wolf Tribe, he made dangerous moves and put his own life on the line. If the plan failed, he would most likely be involved.
This trip to the Swamp of Despair was different.
The leader of the Yongye Army knew very little about the situation here, not to mention their internal situation. Even the general position was determined by Sean looking down from the air. He had no idea what the status of these tribal towns among the Crocodile tribe was. It was completely unknown.
Well, it was roughly estimated based on the scale.
This requires that the quality of the envoys must not be low, and they must be proficient in adaptability. It is not possible to just grab a soldier and be competent.
"I'll go." Kelman, the young military chief of staff, stepped forward with a strong fighting spirit in his eyes, "I am willing to lead the way for you generals and find out the situation in the swamp of despair."
Now in the Military Staff Department, Ericson, the former Chief of Staff, has become a role model for all military staff officers.
Except for Ben Hebrew, who has a sense of placement and retirement, there are a few remaining young people who do not want to join the army and command their own soldiers in battle.
Planning from behind and directing on the ground are two different things.
Although they knew that Erikson's transfer as commander of the Third Army was not directly related to his mission to the Silver Wolf Tribe, but was caused by past accumulation, it still did not prevent these young people from taking positive actions after seeing similar things.
Participation is a matter of life and death for them.
Once successful, they will accumulate rich merits.
