Naturally, Akmeser had no need to lie and conceal this, and directly revealed the information he knew, "According to the information we have so far, the Yongye Army Leader has his own shipyard, and the scale is quite large.
, but it should not have been established for more than five years. After all, it has only been ten years since the Yong Ye military leader began to rise. The number of large ships produced will not be too many. There are currently five known ships, and two of them are not yet in Yong Ye.
The probability of appearing on the battlefield in the hands of the Night Army leader is only 50%. Even if there is production in the past two years, the number will not be too many, at most five, and they are still new ships that have not been trained to display the combat effectiveness.
Quite limited.”
Although the Yongye Army Leader is like an iron bucket, water cannot be poured into it, but as trade becomes more and more open, the hole becomes wider and wider, and information blockade becomes more and more difficult.
The contradiction between the two is irreconcilable, and it is impossible for the Yongye Army Leader to give up trade dividends in order to block its own news.
Not only will it not give up, but it will only get bigger and bigger. Even if the current situation in the Swamp of Despair is so tense, it has not delayed the merchant ships of the Yong Ye Army leader from shuttle back and forth, transporting goods at their leisure. If necessary, they can obey the dispatch of the Yong Ye Army leader.
When transporting people and troops, there will be no delay, and the efficiency will be absolutely unparalleled.
It really makes Akmesser envious. If he had such a fleet serving behind him, he would have captured the entire Swamp of Despair long ago.
"This is the best." Stubin obviously did not fully believe what Akmesser said. Their nature was basically similar to that of the Yongye Army Leader and the Crocodile Tribe people, and they were all alliances of interests.
However, Yongye Military Leader and the Crocodile Tribe people have at least nearly two years of cooperation experience. The two sides have a little feel for their operating styles and bottom lines. After reaching a consensus, there is a sense of trust.
The Kingsley family and the Commons family were different. Originally, they were talking through the air. What the two Grand Dukes reached was just a common intention. There was no time to talk about the details. Stubin received the order and set off.
The order that Stubin holds in his hand now is from nearly half a year ago. The rest can only be acted on his own initiative. To a certain extent, he is exercising part of the rights of the supreme ruler of the Commons family, autonomy.
Very powerful.
This situation is very common in the Commons family.
Strictly speaking, the Commons family is no longer a complete family. It is controlled internally by seven branch families and is a family alliance.
Compared to an alliance in the ordinary sense, because they are related by blood, they are relatively closer.
These seven branch families each control a dragon-wrapped battleship, and then use it as the core to form a fleet.
They are like a pack of wolves, uniting together when needed and spreading apart when not needed. Each of them calls themselves the Commons family.
This model is directly related to the current situation of the Commons family. After all, they now use the sea as their grassland and the sea ships as their horses to gallop back and forth. The vastness of their territory is far beyond what the Odin Prairie can compare to.
The problem of insufficient connection faced by the Odin Orcs is even more serious for them. If anything, they have to wait until they have consulted the Archduke before making a decision. It is no longer a question of whether the day lily has gone cold. Whether the entire fleet still exists or not does not matter.
It's a problem.
Over time, the system model of each fleet was formed. Each fleet is responsible for a piece of work. Some matters related to the overall interests of the Commons family are communicated with each other. Some minor matters are decided by the captains of each fleet.
The further away, the higher the degree of freedom.
However, they have a common nest, which is located in the Watch Islands in the northwest of the Miracle Peninsula.
The Watch Islands were not called this name a hundred years ago. After the Commons family was driven out from the Miracle Peninsula by the Odin Orcs, it was changed to its current name. As the name suggests, they have always been watching over their former hometown - the Miracle Peninsula.
But the irony is that among the eight major families, the Commons family has the most frequent connections with the Theodin Empire.
After they were driven out of the Miracle Peninsula by the Odin Orcs, they re-emerged by smuggling the Odin Orcs' scarce supplies by sea.
They perfectly explained with their actions that there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. Even enemies can sit down and talk as long as they have interests.
Both Steubin and Akmesser are relatively arbitrary people at heart.
The only difference is that Stubin's domineering attitude is expressed directly, while Akmesser is more reserved. In fact, they are the same kind of people.
When these two people are put together and get along, it would be amazing if they can get along well.
Now even the initial running-in has not been completed. Basically, each one is doing its own thing, let alone coordinated operations on land and sea.
If we want to work together seamlessly, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time to get along and compromise with each other.
The military supplies urged by Steubin should be regarded as the first step. The second step will only be carried out after Akmesser delivers them.
"The Yong Ye Army Leader and the Crocodile Tribe people have begun to merge. The Crocodile Tribe people are withdrawing in large numbers towards the Yong Ye Army Leader. Are they preparing to fight a positional war with us? When will your army be ready to be renovated?" asked Shi Dubin.
Although their third fleet showed off its might on the Donau River, without the cooperation of a large number of ground troops, the actual damage they caused was minimal. After all, their large ships could not enter small waterways, and they did not dare to easily send people ashore.
"The repairs are almost complete. Once the first batch of supplies is delivered, we can cooperate with the general's fleet and launch a tentative attack on them." Akmesser seemed not to be impatient.
After two weeks of adjustments, it was impossible for the Kingsley family army to regain its peak strength. After all, the tens of thousands of elites from the previous fierce battle could not be replenished in three to five years, let alone two weeks.
However, morale has been restored and they have the strength to fight.
There are only a few methods used.
Mix and match the team.
Use veterans to lead new recruits, and use elites to lead slave soldiers. No matter how bad the combat effectiveness is, it will not be much worse.
Then there is the Kingsley family's usual method - money.
A large reward will dilute the sadness and fear of those fighting men and make them cheer up again.
However, this kind of morale is still a bit artificially high. Once a tragic war like the previous one occurs, morale will be depleted faster, and it will be difficult to support such a high-intensity war.
Akmesser is also a veteran who has experienced many battles, so he naturally knows that at this time, major military operations should be avoided as much as possible.
The second step is to wait for the back road to be reopened.
Without the support of follow-up supplies, they are just like duckweeds hanging out, feeling uneasy from top to bottom.
What's more, in the follow-up supplies, not only new food will be transported, but also the warships and shipbuilding timber reassembled by the Kingsley family.
What Akmesser's army urgently needs to replenish now is not food, but warships.
That's right.
They do now have the Commons Armada.
It doesn't mean they don't need warships.
The reasons are manifold.
In addition to the shortcomings of the Commons family armada, it can only operate in deep waters and cannot do anything in shallow waters.
In other words, they can only escort the Kingsley family on the Donau River to avoid water attacks. If they want to seize the beach and march to the east coast, they will need the cooperation of a large number of small warships.
Secondly, Akmesser’s personality meant that he didn’t like to be restricted by others. Many times, he even ignored the orders of Archduke Buck, the supreme ruler of the Kingsley family, let alone an outsider like Stubin.
Pointing fingers.
The less we rely on them, the fewer constraints we will have when the time comes.
The time for the general attack should be in the hands of Akmesser, not Stubin.
"Then I will wait for the cooperation with the general. When the time comes, both land and water will come out. Regardless of whether they are the Yongye army leader or the crocodile tribe, they will all be driven out. If there is nothing else, I will leave first. I hope the general will not forget
I have made my promise, and in three days, I will bring my fleet to collect food. If we still fail to fulfill our promise, don’t blame us for turning our backs."
Steubin said something that was neither sinister nor yang, turned around and left Akmeser's handsome tent. When leaving, he did not forget to hold the head of the fake messenger with his own hands and shook it towards Akmeser.
.
Obviously, Stubin did not believe Akmesser's argument from the beginning to the end. He always believed that the envoy was sent by Akmesser. After the purpose of using the excuse was achieved, he stopped entangled in this issue, but still used "
The way of the urinal, humiliating Akmesse.
After Stubin left, Akmesser sat quietly for ten minutes, and then said to his guard captain: "Call all the officers above the school regiment."
"Yes, General, do you need to dispose of the body?" the guard captain asked cautiously. He had followed Akmeser for many years, and he knew very well that beneath the calm surface of his general, there was raging anger.
"Just throw it there." Akmeser said through gritted teeth.
It didn't take long for a group of senior officers from the Kingsley family to be summoned.
All the people secretly muttered in their hearts and exchanged information with each other with their eyes, but most of them were confused and didn't know why. However, the sight of Akmeshar about to erupt made them stay silent, and they all pretended to be deaf and dumb.
The mutilated, headless corpse on the ground was ignored.
"Who can tell me what happened to him?" Akmeser pointed at the body on the ground.
The officers looked at each other in confusion for a while, not understanding what their commander was talking about. Finally, all eyes fell on the deputy general who was in charge of the defense of the entire camp.
If this mutilated corpse was an assassin, he would be unable to eat it and carry it away.
Fortunately, the lieutenant general had received the news a long time ago and saw with his own eyes that the supreme commander of his ally, Shi Dubin, had personally led his men to drag him here. He felt somewhat confident and did not panic.
However, as the deputy general in charge of defense work, he was derelict in letting people in so easily. He could only stand out and said bravely: "Return to the general, General Shidubin is our ally. He forced his way in. I can't do anything about it."
Forcibly stop it, if..."
"Go away, I'll settle the score with you later." Akmesser gave him a sharp look and dismissed him. Obviously, this was not the issue he wanted to talk about.
"Follow your orders!" Although he was reprimanded, the lieutenant breathed a sigh of relief. Since he was not held accountable in public, it meant that his problem was not big.
After all, Akmesser has emphasized the importance of the Commons family fleet to their march into the Swamp of Despair many times in military meetings. Now is the initial running-in period. If anything happens, try to be as tolerant as possible.
If it weren't for this big tone, even if he was beaten to death, he wouldn't dare to let Steubin swagger in so easily.
From the current point of view, his approach is not the most right, but it is not also the most wrong.
"Just now our ally, General Shi Dubin, brought him to question me, saying that our people pretended to be his envoys and went to the Crocodile tribe to use a divorce plan. As the supreme commander of this Eastern Army, why didn't I know anything about it?
Who can tell me what is going on?" Akmeser asked through gritted teeth.
This was what really made him angry.
Facing Steubin's questioning, the reason why Akmesser was so calm was not because he was just telling lies, but because he really didn't know what was going on.
The generals of the Kingsley family looked at each other, and finally the deputy general in charge of defense asked cautiously: "General, is there any misunderstanding? Maybe this person is not one of ours? This person may be a throwaway from the Crocodile tribe.
The people who came out were trying to alienate the dead, or the Commons family was trying to take advantage of the situation."
"Yes, both possibilities are possible, especially the latter. Just now, the supreme commander of the Commons family cut off this man's head. If he was really one of ours, there was no need for him to do this and keep it.
You can't criticize us more eloquently, but this is completely concealing the truth."
"Without the general's nod, how could we execute such a plan without authorization?"
All the Kingsley family generals agreed.
Akmesser's face not only did not become better-looking, but instead became darker, "You mean, Steubin is treating me like a fool?"
The handsome tent, which had become a bit uproar, became silent again, and there was no way to answer this question.
"General, Sir Kleist asked to see him and told him that he knows." The captain of the Guards said in an inaudible voice in Akmeser's ear.
However, in this case, it still fell on the ears of many lieutenants.
"Sir Kleist." A trace of gloom flashed across Akmeser's face, his eyes flickered slightly, as if he thought of something, he waved to the generals and said, "You guys go outside and wait."
"Yes, General." The generals of the Kingsley family breathed a long sigh of relief. As they walked out, they looked at each other and exchanged information and ideas with their eyes.
When they met Sir Kleist, who had been recruited, they all gave him a meaningful look.
Although the other party's appearance is a disguised way of rescuing them, it does not mean that they will welcome and appreciate him.
Xenophobia is a common phenomenon, especially in a place with strict rules like the military, where the most disliked people are those special personnel.
And Sir Crest is an out-and-out special person. Although he does not have any military position, he has considerable power in the Kingsley Family's Eastern Expedition.
It would be fine if he was a peaceful master, but he thinks very highly of himself and wants to interfere in everything.
Every time they heard this kind of news, the first reaction of these generals was to spit in his face, point at their noses and ask, what is he?
But the title of Archduke Buck's special envoy forced them to retain the most basic respect, at least on the surface.
Not to mention that the title of Archduke Buck's Special Envoy is attached to a person, even if it is attached to a dog, it will become particularly honorable. They only respect the title, not the person involved.
Therefore, these generals deliberately discussed in voices that the other party could hear.
"Do you think this thing was done by this all-league joker?"
"Don't tell me, it's really possible. Just because we don't have the courage to do it doesn't mean that he doesn't have the courage. After all, he is a popular person in front of His Majesty, so he might also have some supervisory responsibilities."
"Maybe this is His Majesty's intention."
"Don't say this nonsense, as trouble will come from your mouth."
Sir Crest kept his eyes straight and turned a deaf ear to those comments.
When he took this unusual route to rise, it was already destined that he would not be liked by the original lords and nobles.
After all, they had gone through a lot of hardships to get to where they are now, but he got it easily. No one else would be mentally balanced, and there would naturally be all kinds of criticism. He was already fully mentally prepared.
.
What's more, he has faced more serious accusations than this.
Compared with the lords and nobles who use curse words without swearing, these generals with military backgrounds are all honest and cute, and they only use a few curse words back and forth.
Kleist had absolutely no interest in arguing with them.
