Soon Siamor boarded the Dragon Roar in a speedboat.
Seeing it from a distance is one thing, but actually stepping onto it and observing it up close is another thing.
Although Xia Moor tried his best to keep his face normal, his twinkling eyes still betrayed him.
He is observing this unique warship and wants to use his past experience to evaluate the combat effectiveness of this warship.
As a result, the evaluation failed, and they could only give one with explosive combat effectiveness. If they were to fight with it, their old-fashioned warships would have only one option, and that would be to flee.
The other party placed the military meeting on this battleship, which was not without the intention of using force to intimidate them.
Since the other party has chosen to use force to intimidate, it means that they are still prepared to use them instead of preparing to beat them to death with a stick.
This is undoubtedly good news for Hiyamore and his squadron.
This kind of speculation somewhat dispersed the heavy pressure in Xiyamore's heart. He didn't know that the military meeting being held on this battleship would determine the future fate of him and his fleet.
After taking a deep breath and tidying up his appearance, Shia Moore pushed open the door and walked in. He bowed to Sean at the top and said, "I have met the lord."
This undoubtedly showed his surrender attitude and made the Marshal Yongye Army present look at him much softer.
"Please sit down." Sean nodded.
A waiter has already added a new seat at the bottom.
Sean turned to Gabrai and said: "The chief of staff is most familiar with the situation on both sides. It's up to you to introduce the situation to Mr. Shia Moore!"
"This is my honor." Gabrai finally said, "Based on the fleet led by Lord Shiamore, we have discussed two placement strategies..."
Gabrai explained the arrangement method just discussed to Shia Moore in detail and said: "Your Excellency Shia Moore knows the situation of his fleet best. I don't know which one you prefer?"
Shiamore did not answer Gabrai's question directly, but asked instead: "Can you really buy anything? Including the new weapons and ship-borne artillery from your noble leader?"
"Including ship-borne artillery!" The person who spoke this time was not Gabri but Sean. "Although we will not restrict you in this area, don't expect it to be too easy. Ship-borne artillery is our unique new type.
Let’s ignore weapons and intangible values for now.
The production value alone is quite high. Our military leader itself has a big gap. We can only supply you with limited supplies and cannot sell them without restrictions.
And it can only be used for personal use and cannot be sold as goods. Once any leakage is discovered, we will inevitably take emergency measures.
As for the limited sales quantity, exchange price and a series of follow-up issues, there will be professionals to discuss with you."
"Of course I understand this." Xia Moor nodded, and then asked, "What about the rights of passage and residence? How will the family members and craftsmen we bring back be resettled?"
Although Siamour did not directly answer the questions they raised, his rhetorical questions already showed his attitude.
Compared with the first option, he prefers the second option.
This solution not only has enough autonomy, but is also very appealing to them.
"Once you choose the second option, the inland river basins including the Donau River will restrict your passage. You can only disembark at designated ports for transactions. However, your family members will not have so many restrictions. We will then impose restrictions on them.
Treat everyone equally and ensure their absolute safety. As for the craftsmen you captured, they can be counted as your first contribution. We will convert them into materials when the time comes. Afterwards, we will come up with a more systematic and complete exchange method. This matter
I will hand it over to Chief of Staff Gabrai. If you have any needs or requirements, you can negotiate with him." Sean replied.
Shia Moor took a deep breath and said: "From the strategy given by the lord, I have fully felt your sincerity. I have no other unreasonable thoughts. I just hope that the lord can give up this choice."
More broadly."
"What do you mean?" This time, it was Sean who looked confused.
"In your eyes, the Commons family is a pirate group, and the people who come out of it are all extremely vicious people.
If you simply think so, it would be too one-sided. We are also human beings with flesh and blood and have our own emotions.
Some people go into the sea because they are driven by their nature, but some people are forced by life. Compared with living without a fixed place, they hope to have a warm and comfortable place to stay, a piece of land of their own."
Shiamore defended the fleet he represented in a calm tone, "Most of our fleet may choose to continue to plunder at sea, while a small number are already tired of this kind of killing and high-risk adventurous life.
, I hope the lord can give them a chance to choose their own life."
Sean exchanged glances with several marshals quickly, and then nodded and said: "What Your Excellency Xia Moore said is very reasonable. Previously, we treated the fleet led by Your Excellency as a whole, which was indeed somewhat inadequate. Let's do this.
Chief of Staff, Gablai."
"Here." Gabri responded and stood up.
"From now on, you will select people and form a post-war resettlement committee. The main job is to solicit and coordinate the intentions of all the crew members of the fleet led by Shia Moore, and conduct proper resettlement based on their intentions and skills. Those who should be sent to Yamauchi will be sent to Yamauchi.
, those who should enter the factory should enter the factory, and those who should continue to serve should continue to serve, especially the related work of registration and filing must be done well." Sean ordered.
"As you command." Gabri said loudly.
"In addition, the fleet itself should also undergo a more systematic reorganization. Some small warships or fishing boats that are just fake should be eliminated from it. If the owners of those warships are tired of life at sea, they should be removed from their hands with reasonable
Purchase it at a price, and if they choose to continue fighting at sea, it will be converted into corresponding merits and materials for them." Sean added.
"Understood." Gabri understood.
Regardless of what Sean said was fair and aboveboard, in fact, this was for the leader of the Yongye Army to intervene in the statistics and adaptation work of the squadron led by Shia Moore.
The Yongye Military Leader is preparing to delegate power to Xia Moor, allowing him to act freely in the East China Sea.
But the prerequisite for this freedom of action is to put on the reins of the Eternal Night Army Leader.
As long as necessary, the leader of the Yongye Army can adjust their direction of advancement at any time.
This rein is not just a matter of statistics and adaptation, but the most important thing is the material exchange system established later.
Even if the squadron led by Shia Mor possesses a large number of modified warships, without the artillery shells provided by the Yongye Army Leader, they will still be toothless tigers and their power will be greatly reduced.
"Do you have any other questions, Your Excellency Xia Moor?" Sean turned to look at Xia Moor.
After Ahimor thought carefully for a few seconds, he shook his head and said, "No more for now."
He is a very self-aware person, and the Eternal Night Army leaders can only allow them to maintain a certain degree of independence of the squadron, which is the limit.
If you want to retain your own craftsmen, build your own shipyard, etc., then it is purely a dream. It is just asking for embarrassment. If you leave a bad impression to your new colleagues that you are too ambitious, your life in the future will be ruined.
It's even sadder.
"Your Excellency Xia Moor, you are still your fleet captain, but you are no longer the captain of the East China Sea Kingdom, no longer loyal to Steubin, but the captain of the mercenary fleet loyal to me and the leader of the Evernight Army.
, except for the war call order, you do not need to bear any additional obligations. You have the right to act freely in all sea areas. Likewise, I will not be responsible for your actions on the endless sea. Captain Shiamore, to
Do you have any objection to this?" Sean stood up and asked solemnly.
"I have no objections." Captain Shiamore stood up and responded.
"Very good, we have made a good start, and your placement and adaptation work has officially begun." Sean announced loudly.
"Please, Lord, allow us to say goodbye first." Gabrai said very discerningly.
Although Captain Shiamore has officially joined the Evernight Army in name only, it is still not suitable for him to participate in their upcoming military meeting.
"Go!" Sean nodded and agreed.
After watching Gabrai and Shia Moore leave.
Sean once again led the military meeting back to the topic and said: "The next step is about the defense and troop mobilization of the Donau Plain. Although Stubin has received a heavy blow from us, he will be unable to breathe for a while, but we
Corresponding defensive forces must be left to prevent them from taking advantage of the opportunity. There should be no objections from Jiangmen Port. Marshal Ericson's Third Army is still on the defensive, and the Explorer Fleet led by General Arnold is assisting."
"Is it a bit too extravagant to have a group army stationed here?" Marshal Ericson analyzed. "After the previous battle, Shi Dubin should have a lot of psychological shadow about fighting deep into the river. Even if
Even if you give him ten courages, he won't dare to go inside. What's more, their landing force has been completely lost and it is difficult to go ashore to fight again. It should be enough for the explorer fleet to take charge and a legion to garrison Jiangmen Port.
!”
"I asked you to sit in Jiangmen Port, but I didn't ask you to garrison one city or one place. When the time comes, all the Wuhe battlefield area will be merged into your defense area. At that time, one legion will be placed in Jiangmen Port, one legion will be placed in Brother Port, and five
The river battlefield can only be divided into one legion, and what you have to guard against is not only the East China Sea Kingdom, but also the mercenary fleet led by Captain Xiyamore. You have your work cut out for such a huge territory!"
Sean assigned the tasks more clearly, "When the time comes, it will not only be military defense that will fall on you. You will also need to cooperate with Marshall in shipwreck salvage, river dredging and a new round of large-scale development work, especially the Five Rivers battlefield.
The five openings must be blocked as soon as possible. I don’t want to see this kind of war going deep into our territory again.”
"Yes." Marshal Ericson stood up and responded.
"Marshal Tagore, the main task of your Second Army is still to keep an eye on Commander Carter." Sean turned his attention to Marshal Tagore, who was doing nothing.
Marshal Tagore was shocked when he heard his name being called, but when he heard that they were not being transferred to the front line, his expression immediately dropped and he said feebly: "Dear Lord, when can we change our defenses? I was originally
What a life-long tiger, it has turned into a guard dog, big bald man, don’t snicker, what about you, is it time to change the defense zones of our two armies?”
"Marshal Tagore must not underestimate his current defense tasks. Although your defense area is not as big as Marshal Ericson's, it is still more important because it has become the first heavy industrial area of our military leader. In the future,
Development depends entirely on this place, and it is adjacent to Brother Port, with direct access to Jiangmen Port, and transfer to the Twin Cities and Northern Fortress. Your group army is our first mobile army. No matter where the war is tight, you need to be the first.
Time will come to you." Sean reassured him earnestly.
Doesn't he know that letting a tiger general guard one side is a kind of humiliation, but the problem is that he really doesn't have many choices. Compared with Marshal McGee, whose level is extremely unstable, sometimes high and low, and his brain occasionally twitches.
Although Marshal Tagore was not as stable as Marshal Erikson, he was still remarkable.
"I've been saying it for a long time, but it's not yet a reserve force." Marshal Tagore muttered in a low voice, but he also knew that the Yongye Army was a whole, and there were some jobs that always needed people to do, and it was impossible to choose according to his own temperament.
When a tiger stays in a system long enough, he will become a tiger who knows how to abide by the rules of the system.
"Marshal Dixon, you will lead the Guards Army to garrison the northern fortress first. Marshal McGee's First Army and Marshal Yar's Fifth Army will first assemble to the territorial capital of New Bressan and stand by." Sean then said to the other three.
Marshal said.
"Yes." The other three marshals stood up at the same time to obey the order.
Sean did not gather all three armies to the northern fortress as soon as he started. Naturally, he had his own considerations - supply pressure.
The area around the northern fortress is dominated by mountains, and food output is scarce. In the past, at least the herds on the Kogel grassland supplemented some of the food. With the rise of the undead empire led by Narentoya.
The Kogel Grassland has basically been abandoned. Most of the food for the northern fortress is mobilized and transported from within the territory. Fortunately, the construction of the magic tractor was completed a year ago, which solved the problem of material transportation here. Otherwise, the Eternal Night Army would not have thought
It is not easy to station troops on a large scale here, let alone start a large-scale war.
Just using magic tractors for large-scale transportation has a transportation cost problem.
Instead of moving all the group armies up and transporting all kinds of supplies, it would be better to station them at the Andis Inland Lake, the material distribution center. When the war breaks out, move them to the front line via magic tractors, which is only a short time.
A matter of just a few days.
At the post-war resettlement military meeting on the Dragon Roar, Sean was just talking lip service and cleverly downplaying many things, but the people below were about to break their legs.
Not to mention anything else, the mercenary fleet resettlement committee headed by Gabuli has included more than a thousand people.
Only 80% of them are the administrative personnel of the Evernight Military Leader, and the other 20% are composed of Captain Shiamore and his own fleet captains, captains and sailors.
The purpose is of course to argue with Gabrai and other resettlement committee members, because after all, this involves his fundamental interests in the future.
Even if we can get one more ship-borne artillery and one box of artillery ammunition, it would be good.
