If the Crocodile people want to get rid of the current predicament, they need a change, a change that shakes the fundamentals.
What makes these Crocodile Clan elders feel the most ironic is that the advocates of this internal change among the Crocodile Clan are none other than the new army that they were trained with the assistance of the Yongye Army Leader. The leader is none other than Great Weber.
Wyande, the biological son of the elder.
My son wants to overthrow me.
The new army he cultivated with his own hands is now targeting himself.
There is no need to mention the discomfort and anger in the hearts of the elders of the Crocodile tribe.
At first, they thought it was the leader of the Yongye Army who was behind them, adding fuel to the fire.
After investigation, it was found that the behavior of these young people was completely spontaneous. The reason for them to do so was not the pursuit of power, but out of love for the tribe. They really believed that what they insisted on would be the best.
Save the crocodile people.
To be more precise, when the Crocodile Tribe Elders Council accepted Yong Ye Army Leader's suggestion and formed a new army, it had already jumped into the pit prepared by Yong Ye Army Leader.
When the new ideas of the Yongye Army are instilled along with military training, they will naturally conflict with the old ideas.
This conflict will take root in the situation faced by the Crocodile people.
When the situation faced by the Crocodile tribe becomes extremely bad, it will be the moment when they explode.
The leader of the Yongye Army knew that there would be such a result from the beginning, and there was no need to add fuel to the flames.
The most troublesome thing for the Crocodile Tribe Elders Council is that they cannot use simple and crude methods of suppression. After all, most of the people involved are the best among the younger generation of the Crocodile Tribe. Many of them are even their biological sons and nephews, like Wyande.
The Crocodile Tribe Elders Council did not take kindly to the new army formed together with the Yongye Army Leader. Not only did they stuff a large number of their own cronies into it, but they also stuffed a large number of family members from the clan into it.
At that time, I had the idea of killing two birds with one stone.
These people are the most worthy of your trust, and they will not be easily won over by the leader of the Yongye Army. They will help you control the new army, and at the same time, it will also allow them to learn more and have more skills than you can handle.
Unexpectedly, they shot themselves in the foot in the end. They learned too much from the leader of the Yongye Army and had too many ideas. In their eyes, they, these old guys, became the crocodile tribe's advance.
the biggest obstacle.
But these hot-headed young people don’t think carefully.
If it weren't for old guys like them to hold up the front, how would the Crocodile Tribe people be here today, and how would they have the chance to jump around here?
The most important thing is that they are now using the methods learned by the Yongye Army to reform the Crocodile tribe, regardless of whether it is applicable or not.
After the reform is completed, will the Crocodile people still not be members of the Crocodile tribe? Or will they not belong to them?
Those young people who are dedicated to leading their people towards a better life will naturally not consider such complicated issues.
With the full development of the cooperation between the Crocodile Tribe and the Yongye Army Leader, many people have even come up with the idea that joining the Yongye Army Leader is also a good choice.
After all, the life of Yongye Military Leader is there, and various policies can be said to be relatively loose. Not only does it have nothing to do with extortionate expropriation, Yongye Military Leader even tries every means to help his people get rich.
Even the elders of the Crocodile tribe cannot do this when dealing with their own tribe.
People always have selfish motives, and the elders of the Crocodile Tribe's Council of Elders are not immune to this.
Those who can be called qualified elders are only part of them, and the qualifying line is usually very low. As long as they don't act recklessly, they are considered to be within the qualifying line.
I'm afraid there are not many elders who don't do human affairs.
These people are also the most afraid of joining forces with the leader of the Yongye Army.
Because once they merge, they will lose too much.
They originally thought that they had defeated the Commons family's third fleet, but they had already secured the final victory. Even if they could not get rid of the Yongye Army immediately, at least the pressure would not be that great.
Now, a Klein tribe has emerged to disrupt the situation, making the elders of the Crocodile Tribe Elders Council, from top to bottom, hate it, but they have no choice but to continue to obey the leader of the Eternal Night Army.
Just when the leader of the Yongye Army reached an agreement with the senior leaders of the Crocodile Tribe, those abnormal Klein tribesmen had already retreated to their territory surrounded by the dragon carcass warship. The scout ship of the leader of the Yongye Army stopped at the Danube River.
Dare to go deeper.
The territory of the Klein Tribe seems to have no defense at all, but if you put your head deep into the water, you will find countless Klein Tribe soldiers standing straight at the bottom of the water, all of them with angry eyes.
That weird situation makes people shudder.
These guys who have become neither humans nor ghosts are obviously staying there in a way that ordinary people can't understand. If outsiders get into it recklessly, they will only drag people and boats into the water.
Many things in the Klein tribe have broken common sense and really need to be treated with caution. Even investigation requires a step-by-step process and can only be put on hold temporarily.
The first priority of Yongye Army Leader and the Crocodile Tribe people is to reorganize the army and digest the spoils of war as repeatedly emphasized in the previous temporary military meeting.
In just one week, the coalition forces headed by the Yong Ye army leader and assisted by the Crocodile clansmen fought several fierce battles in succession.
First, there was the intrigue in Brother Port. At the beginning, they still had geographical and long-range advantages. When the Kingsley family used the golden armor and elite troops, the battle artifact at the bottom of the box, they had to fight head-on.
And in order to make the play realistic.
The commander of the Yongye Army sacrificed not only his acting skills, but also the blood of his soldiers.
A champion knight of the Crocodile tribe lies on this land forever.
The battle that damaged the Champion Knight has not been heard of even in the Broken Blood Castle for several years.
When Akmeser fell into the trap of the Eternal Night Army Leader, the counterattack of the Eternal Night Army Leader was not a trap.
But a real counterattack.
If Akmesser's reaction had been a little slower, if the power of the golden armor had been a little weaker, and the Kingsley family's Eastern Marching Army had been directly routed by them, there would have been no water battle at all.
If you can use the first plan to eat the opponent, why waste time and effort to start the second plan?
Seeing that the power of the golden armor was beyond imagination and unable to match it, the leader of the Yongye Army had no choice but to launch a second plan.
The whole process is extremely tight.
In less than a day, they lured the Commons family into a trap, and then launched a full-scale counterattack from the water.
This defensive counterattack on the river.
The first half of the ambush can be said to be organized and disciplined.
At the end of the fight, there is no way to control these things. Whichever ship is the least damaged will be the one at the front.
Especially in the final pursuit, the Panshi and Panshi No. 2, which were chased all the way here, were covered in thick smoke and suffered many injuries.
Not to mention those that have been forced to stop at Brother Port for repairs and are in danger of sinking at any time.
After the fierce battle until now, even the well-trained soldiers of Yongye Army are a little unable to bear it, let alone the Crocodile tribesmen whose military structure is extremely loose. Now many of them are just wandering around the Donau River, unable to find anyone.
When you see the enemy, you can't find any of your own people.
They need to be gathered back bit by bit.
Then there’s digestion of the spoils.
The biggest prize of this war is of course the Commons family's battleship.
The battleships of the Commons family seem to be similar in appearance, but in fact they are also divided into different levels.
There are three levels: Breaking Waves, Hurricane and Dragon Skeleton.
It is said that the Commons family has built a Dreadnought-class giant battleship.
I don’t know if these giants are not suitable for sailing into the Donau River? Or the Third Fleet is not equipped, so they were not seen in this water battle.
The third fleet that fought against the leader of the Yongye Army was mainly composed of Breaking Waves and Hurricane warships. As for the dragon warships, needless to say, there were only seven ships in the entire Commons family, and all of them were famous. If
The Commons family knew that the Third Fleet had folded their own flagship, and they didn't know how they looked crazy.
The wave-breaking class and the hurricane class are easy to distinguish. One is a two-mast and the other is a three-mast.
At present, the waters around the Ashan continent are still dominated by two-masted sailing ships.
In the Commons family's third fleet, the ratio of wave-breaking to hurricane-class ships reached four to one. The entire fleet was composed of one dragon warship, four hurricane warships, and thirteen wave-breaking warships.
After taking stock after the war, the Third Fleet was led by the Yong Ye Army and one of the suicide assault warships was blown up at once.
Then, two ships were blown up by the combined effects of repeated bombardments by the Sky Catapults on the Death Channel and mines.
In the subsequent melee, another ship was rammed and sunk, and four ships were sunk.
Only at the last moment, they abandoned the dragon-wrapped battleships and escaped with two of them.
Except for the flagship dragon warship, which was intercepted by the Klein tribe and dragged into its own territory, the remaining eight ships were all used by the Eternal Night Army to use one-on-one ship-watching tactics, in conjunction with the large number of elite infantry of the legion carried on the building ships.
Captured alive.
Unfortunately, among the eight battleships, only one is of the Hurricane class, and the rest are all of the Wavebreaker class.
Even though there is only one mast difference between two-mast and three-mast ships, there is a huge difference in size.
Speaking of sailing ships, we have to talk about the current navigation situation in the Ashan continent.
Due to the unique geography, the navigation conditions on the west coast of the Ashan continent are obviously better than those on the east coast and south coast.
For the past three hundred years, the entire east coast has been dominated by the overflowing Donau River, leaving no opportunity for navigation.
The south coast is bounded by the Huayu Plateau. There is no serious coast at all. It almost goes directly from the sea to the plateau. There are only scattered island-like peninsulas and scattered small islands. The geography is very limited. In addition,
Lacking the necessary solid wood to enter the Age of Navigation, even if they developed, they could only passively wait for invasion from other places to drive development.
The west coast of Ashan is different. It has the Zambian inland sea that stretches for five to six hundred nautical miles, the twin peninsulas that extend like tentacles into the west coast, and a relatively large number of islands along the coast.
All have resulted in the relatively developed shipbuilding and navigation industries on the West Coast.
However, the leading ones are the Commons family, a famous pirate family, and the wealthy Conclave of Witches.
The two sides have been entangled in the struggle for control of the sea on the west coast for nearly a hundred years. There have been no big battles but small battles.
In the past few decades, the Theodin Empire has also seen signs of rising water power, especially Black Tiger Ulan Bage, who has just taken over. He is an ambitious master who competes everywhere and wants to be the best everywhere, including in On the sea.
He couldn't stand the situation of being harassed back and forth by pirates along the Miracle Peninsula.
In recent years, through independent research and development, black market transactions, etc., it has indeed possessed a certain degree of maritime power.
But that's all.
The black market trade in large-scale ships is mainly controlled by the Commons family and the witch secret society.
They are not fools, and they will definitely not sell their brand-new warships at the bottom of the box. At most, they will deal with the obsolete and soon-to-be-obsolete warships in this way.
Self-research and development is not just a matter of words. Even a new force like the Eternal Night Army, which is developing rapidly, has to dig into the corners of the Commons family and the witch secret society to reduce the shelf of its own shipyard. Set it up.
After nearly five or six years of preparation, we have only built flat-bottomed inland ships, and we dare not touch those large sea ships.
Although inland ships and sea ships are both ships, they are definitely two different standards.
If a large-scale ship is built according to the standards of an inland ship, it will be knocked apart by waves and hurricanes within a few days of going out to sea, and may even capsize directly.
Not to mention that the Theodin Empire's talent reserve is really not in place, and the results of self-research and development are not ideal.
Now even the Miracle Inland Sea, the gateway to the Miracle Peninsula, cannot be completely defended, let alone pushed out to compete with the Commons family and the secret meeting of witches on the sea.
In a short period of time, the pattern of the two giants competing for hegemony on the west coast between the Commons family and the Conclave of Witches will not change much, even if the Commons family's third fleet just suffered a big loss on the west coast.
Not only is there a fleet like Commons, but there are also six fleets. Do you think these eighteen battleships are the full strength of the Third Fleet?
If you think so, you are underestimating the Commons family, the eighth largest ducal family that has been able to stand firm despite losing its territory for hundreds of years.
One of their fleets has no fewer than fifty main warships of the Polang class and above, not to mention those auxiliary warships such as sloops and armed merchant ships, which are all counted in hundreds.
Just look at the structure model of the Yong Ye military leader. There are five large ships and more than 200 assault warships of various types. Not to mention those big-bellied merchant ships and small fishing boats, I am afraid that they have already exceeded a thousand. number.
The reason why there are only eighteen ships of the Third Fleet entering the Danube River is not only because they despised the Yongye Army Leader and the Crocodile Tribe and did not show their full strength, but also because some warships that are too large have difficulty turning in narrow waters and are not suitable for fighting in narrow waters. Either they didn't come with us, or they were anchored at the mouth of the Donau River.
There are subtle internal differences between wave-breaking and hurricane-class ships, and their weights are also quite different.
Whether it is a ketch or a three-masted sailing ship, it will be divided into a schooner and a square ship.
A square-rigged sailing ship is generally one size larger than a schooner.
Take a ketch as an example. A ketch is generally between fifteen and twenty-five meters in size, while a fully equipped ketch starts at a minimum of twenty meters and can reach a maximum of more than fifty meters.
.
Needless to say, for a three-masted sailing ship, even if it is a schooner, it must start at thirty meters, and a three-masted sailing ship must start at fifty meters.
Both schooners and square-rigged sailing ships have their own advantages and disadvantages.
The horizontal sail area is large, the thrust is large and the speed is high when the wind is downwind or sidewind, and the ability to travel into the wind is weak. Generally, it can only go into the wind at 60 or 70 degrees, which basically means that it has no ability to face the wind.
