"If it were in the past, we would definitely have no chance, but now, after Shia Moore betrayed us with a large number of our people, we have been given a chance. I believe there must be loyal people who are loyal to us. Even if there are not, we
They can also be made at a high price." Captain Lina sneered, "Unless the leader of the Eternal Night Army doesn't use them at all, but in this case, Xia Moore's life will be difficult."
"Whether it works or not, this method can be tried. Even if it is to divide the relationship between the Yongye Army Leader and Xia Moore, it is also good." Shi Dubin neutralized the two opinions, "But our own
The research team still needs to be established. Although our port was severely damaged and many craftsmen were kidnapped by that bastard Xia Moor, they could not have done it so cleanly in a hurry. Many people must have escaped.
After a disaster, I will collect all these people. I will build a larger shipyard and arsenal and push forward this matter with all my strength. Since this idea was proposed by Captain Cornell, I will leave it to you."
"Me?" Captain Cornell looked surprised, obviously not expecting that this important task would fall back on him.
After all, his background was similar to that of Captain Shiamore, and he had just experienced a betrayal. King Stubin was more wary of people of his background.
"What? You don't want to?" Steubin asked expressionlessly.
"No... no, this is my honor, this is my greatest honor." Captain Cornell responded hurriedly.
"Okay, I'm tired, let's stop here today!" Shi Dubin waved his hands and said, "In the next period of time, if we are busy, we should all go back and have a good sleep! The battleships led by the Yongye Army will not rush
If they penetrate deep into the Great Bay Islands, their warships cannot afford to lose them."
"Then we won't disturb His Majesty's rest."
"We'll leave first!"
All the fleet captains stood up to say goodbye.
After watching the fleet captains leave, Steubin stood at the bow of the flagship ship with no intention of resting.
"Why didn't you go to rest?" Stubin asked Prince Leiden, who had been standing behind him without moving.
Prince Leiden hesitated for a moment and then said: "Father, what can I do? I know that my performance this time is very bad, but I also want to share the worries for my father. This time I will do my best and will never give
My father is in disgrace."
Steubin turned his head, looked directly at Prince Leiden and said: "My son, do you think I was disappointed with your previous performance and that's why I didn't assign you a task?"
"No, it's just that I can't forgive myself. I made stupid mistakes one after another, causing Donghai Kingdom to suffer unnecessary losses." Prince Leiden had lingering self-blame on his face.
"Victory and defeat are common on the battlefield, and I have said before that this defeat is not the fault of war." Stubin patted Prince Leiden's shoulder hard and said, "Your self-blame is just asking for trouble.
Failure is not terrible. What is terrible is that after failure, the whole person is immersed in failure and can no longer stand up. Your current performance is not like my son, Shi Dubin. You are the only person I can entrust with all my trust.
Man, if you don’t stand up from failure, who will I entrust you with the heavy responsibility?”
"Father..." Prince Leiden couldn't help but choked up.
Compared to Steubin, he was still too young after all, and this war dealt a heavy blow to him.
Previously I was just pretending to be strong in front of others.
"You only need to cry this once. After crying, cheer me up. I have a more important task for you." Steubin's face softened involuntarily. Even a cold-blooded shark has his own temperament.
own tenderness.
After hearing these words, Prince Leiden immediately wiped away his tears and said, "Father, please don't worry, I'm not that fragile yet. If you have any tasks, just tell me."
Shi Dubin's eyes flickered, and he said quietly: "From today on, I will hand over my Blood Shark Guard to your command. I will send people to keep an eye on all the fleet captains and those with higher reputations. If they find out that they are fighting each other,
If you meet frequently or have a close relationship, please report it to me immediately."
Prince Leiden's expression changed slightly and he said, "Father is doing this because he is worried that they will defect to the leader of the Evernight Army and betray us like Shia Moore did?"
"Now that the overall situation is not on our side, it is inevitable that some people will have their own little ideas. It is always right to be careful. I don't want to be stabbed in my sleep." Shi Dubin's face was extremely cold at this moment.
"I understand." Prince Leiden nodded, with a trace of embarrassment on his face, "I am very happy that my father has given me such an important task, but I have no experience in this kind of task. Once exposed, I am afraid that
It will have a bad impact, and I'm afraid that when the time comes, it will be difficult to keep it secret, and I will miss my father's important event."
"On the contrary, you are the most suitable candidate." Shi Dubin shook his head and said, "Who said this matter must be done extremely secretly? If it is really done and they cannot detect it, then all we will gain is a body.
The main purpose of the dead body is to let them know that I am watching them so that they dare not act rashly."
"I understand." Prince Leiden suddenly understood and patted his chest and said, "Promise to complete the task. Father, you go to bed early and I will mobilize the manpower."
"Go!" said Steubin, waving his hands.
Prince Leiden, who had received a new mission, left in a hurry as if full of energy.
Steubin turned around again to face the devastated Dawan Islands. A trace of confusion appeared on his face, and he couldn't help but murmured in a low voice: "Am I really wrong?"
This kind of self-doubt only lasted for a few seconds. Confidence and determination reappeared on Steubin's face. He clenched his fists hard and growled: "No, I'm not wrong. The Western Sea is a quagmire.
There, I will always be just a captain of the Commons family. Only by breaking away from there can I control my own destiny. Now that I have come out, I can never get involved again.
Misestimating the strength of Yong Ye's military leader was just a normal tactical mistake.
I, Shi Dubin, will never fall down and never get up again just because of a single defeat.
I don't believe that the endless sea is so big that there is no place for me to stand.
What I lost today, I must take back with my own hands one day.
This is true for the Great Bay Islands, and so is the Dragon Roar."
In the end, Steubin roared at the top of his lungs.
Boom!
I don't know when the sky was completely overcast, there was lightning and thunder, and it started pouring rain.
Shi Dubin didn't even notice it. When he heard the thunder in the sky, his body trembled involuntarily.
The fear of the roar of the Yong Ye Army's artillery was unknowingly engraved on his body.
This situation is not unique to the East China Sea Fleet.
After hearing the thunder, many sailors and crew members huddled in the corner of the cabin with their heads in their hands, trembling and shouting at the top of their lungs, "The bombardment is coming, the bombardment is coming." Many sailors and crew members who didn't know what was going on mistakenly thought it was true.
Like a headless fly, it was jumping around everywhere, until the captains and captains came forward to suppress the panic.
The trauma that Yongye Commander caused to the East China Sea Fleet was not just as simple as the loss of battleships and personnel, but even more so on their psychology.
The seeds of fear have been buried quietly.
Good things rarely come in pairs, but bad things often come in series, especially defeat, because it is followed by a series of complications.
First, the captains of the East China Sea Fleet began to speak out, asking for compensation for war losses from Stubin, and questioning his ability to rule.
Not only did Shi Dubin open the Donghai State's treasury, he also had to open his own personal treasure house, partially compensated them, and promised a series of benefits.
Just now they were reluctantly calmed down.
Before this matter was completely settled, the native islanders on the Great Bay Islands rose up and launched an all-out attack on them.
The ground forces of the East China Sea Fleet have been severely damaged and are unable to fight a land war with the large number of islanders and natives.
Stubin had to give up the territory on the island and fully withdraw to the coastal ports.
However, as a result, 80% of the grain production areas that Donghai Kingdom finally developed were immediately lost, and a food crisis followed.
The catch at sea can only last for a while and cannot be delayed for too long.
If they don't solve the food problem as soon as possible, a second turmoil within the East China Sea Fleet is basically foreseeable.
In this case, Steubin had to grit his teeth.
Support the Lina fleet in long-distance ocean exploration to find new continents.
Support Captain Cornell in forming a research and development team to delve into the secrets of artillery.
Support Captain Bray to go to the Western Sea and find a second retreat.
Constantly enduring threats and harassment from the Eternal Night Army's fleet.
One can imagine the kind of dire straits the East China Sea Kingdom is in.
War is like a scale. When one side falls to the bottom, the other side of the scale will rise high.
This point was vividly demonstrated in the naval battle between the Yongye Army Leader and the East China Sea Kingdom.
How miserable the defeat of Donghai Kingdom is, how great the gains of Yong Ye's military leader will be.
This is especially clear from the official newspaper of the Yongye Army.
"The puppet country's main fleet fell into a trap and was trapped on the Donau River for twenty-five days"
"The Puppet Squadron Fell into People's Marine Tactics in the Five Rivers Basin"
"The whole story of the surrender of the squadron led by Shia Mor, this is a common victory for the people of Yongye Territory"
"An own incident, the main fleet of the puppet country took advantage of the heavy fog to make a surprise attack, but exchanged fire with the rescue fleet, causing heavy losses."
"Great victory! Shia Moore led the surrender fleet, raided the puppet country's lair, and returned triumphantly"
Although these reports were not real-time and contained a lot of water, and some key things had been removed, they still had a very encouraging effect on the soldiers and civilians led by Yongye Army.
Not only did it further strengthen the centripetal force between the army and the people, but it also made many soldiers and civilians suddenly realize that their military leaders were already so powerful, stimulating their pioneering spirit and guiding more soldiers and civilians to take the initiative to pioneer the Donau Plain.
After all, the situation in the East China Sea has reversed, and they have turned from defense to offense.
The post-war summary and resettlement meeting of the Yongye military leaders was also held in full swing.
The venue of this meeting was not at Jiangmen Port, but at the East China Sea, aboard the Xin Long Roar.
"Before the military meeting officially begins, please allow me to express my gratitude to the marshals, generals, frontline soldiers and citizens. Thank you for your concerted efforts and your heroic fighting for our territory, our citizens, and our people.
I have delivered such a brilliant victory, and from this moment on, I can proudly announce that the Eastern Sea Territory can be incorporated into the territory of the Yongye Army." Sean was the first to speak.
"This is our duty." All the commanders of the Yongye Army stood up in unison and performed a standard military salute.
"For such a glorious victory, I should raise a toast with you all to celebrate, but the severe situation facing our military leaders does not allow it. We still have stronger and more terrifying enemies to face." Sean said solemnly,
"The situation has been completely confirmed. Narentoya's undead empire has set its sights on us for war. Their undead canopy is spreading southward along the junction of the Kentana Icefield. In less than three days, it will enter the Ketana Icefield.
Geer Grassland, this enemy is different from Steubin, and is different from most of the enemies we have faced in the past. We must not be arrogant just because of our little achievements in the East China Sea."
"Lord, please give me the order. Our First Army is ready and ready to rush to the front line at any time." Marshal McGee was the first to express his stance.
"The Second Army is at your lord's disposal at any time." Marshal Tagore also stood up and said loudly.
"The Third Army is ready at any time." Marshal Ericson also stood up and said.
"The Guards Army is always waiting for the Lord's call." Marshal Dikron said.
"The Fifth Army will be the sharpest spear in the Lord's hands." Marshal Yal said loudly.
"Okay!" Sean nodded with satisfaction and waved his hands, "But before that, we have to sweep the tail of the Donau Plain. There are three main topics today. Let's move on to the first topic first.
Regarding the placement of Siamour and the squadron he led, Chief of Staff Gabrai, you have been in contact with them for the longest time and know them the best. Let me start with you and tell me your own views."
"Then let me share my humble opinion first and see if it can inspire the lords and marshals." Chief of Staff Gabrai was obviously well prepared and replied without hesitation, "From the contact during this period
It seems that Shia Moore is a very decisive person. Either he will not make a decision, but once he makes a decision, he will devote all his energy to complete it.
In terms of commanding ability, he is also unparalleled. He has a very strong ability to control the fleet. Many captains and even bosuns work directly with him. Although he kept 30% of the wealth plundered from the ports of the East China Sea, it was not
Keep it for yourself, but distribute it to the crew members and sailor families who died in battle.
He did not make this decision just to win over people's hearts, increase the cohesion of the fleet, and confront us, but the fleet he led has always been like this, so he was able to sit on the top of the East China Sea Kingdom as a non-direct descendant of Steubin.
The position of captain."
"Pension!" Dikron sighed and said, "This person either values love and righteousness, or he is a tyrant. No matter which one he is, the squadron he brings is monolithic. It will be difficult to divide them.
, if we have enough time, we can slowly divide and encroach, but for a long time in the future, our energy will be distracted by the situation on the mainland, and we have no way to worry about this. There are only two ways to deal with such people, either
Either reuse him or beat him to death with a stick without giving him any chance to stand up."
