625 Nord's Gaze (2)
625 Nord's Gaze (2)
The hall fell silent again, and King Yagrolc stared at the map on the wall for a long time. The heart sighed silently. In the past, the Wiki runner-up, which was only in the southwest, is now really becoming more and more aggressive, just like the falcon embroidered on their battle flag, which is forming a kind of momentum that swallows the world.
At the same time, in the north, they fought with the Ryordian and Kujits, and in the south, they still had the strength to oppress the Salander Kingdom, which showed that the Wiki Army had a fairly strong two-front combat capability. You must know that the Kujit people in the north are not ordinary enemies, but hundreds of thousands of fierce rangers, including the royal court guards known as the eagles of the north
It is simply unimaginable that the Wikian army, which is dominated by the army, can defeat the unscrupulous Kujit armored cavalry. When the news first reached the Nord Kingdom, the upper power core of Nord unanimously believed that it was the Ryordian people who had suppressed Kugit for too long, and the pride of the heavens who had galloped in the north was weakening day by day.
Coupled with the internal division of the Kujit people into the east and the west, the strong strength was divided again, and in the end, in the face of the sudden natural disaster, the Vikit people picked up a big bargain, but even so, the Vikit army was able to defeat the Kugit Xiting, which is surprising enough, but unfortunately, it is the north, and the kingdom of Ryde does not have the ability to prevent Vikit from stretching out its magic hand. But in the south, such annexation must not be allowed
The current West Sea has become the inland sea of the Vekia Navy, and maybe in another year or two, even the central sea of the Ali family will become the inland sea of the Vekia Army. The rear of the house becomes a breakthrough point that may be landed by the enemy at any time,
If you think about it for a while, King Yagrolk felt a chill in his back, war is a kind of violent beauty, although it is very skillful and courageous, but it is more strategic and powerful. Once there is too much difference in strength, no matter how high the skill, no matter how clever the command, no matter how good the strategy, it will be useless. And the navy of the Kingdom of Badd is precisely such a shortcoming. The fall of the Kingdom of Salander basically marked the complete domination of the entire southwest of the continent by the Vicchians.
"How long will it take for our navy to be able to take on the Vicchian navy?" asked King Yagrolc to the Admiralty, Marquis Felita, behind him
"It will take at least three years or more," Marquis Felta replied with an embarrassed face, "the Vicchian navy that is currently active in the periphery of our western sea is very rampant, and their base camp is in the waters north of Merorus, which is the sea area of the Ryrdians, and our fleet cannot pass through it.
Marquis Salton, the deputy minister of the Ministry of War, quietly interjected and said, "Can our navy cross the Sea of Vekia to harass them? You must know that Vikia's maritime trade is a golden waterway of great profits, I heard that the tens of thousands of troops used by Vikya this time are all supported by the profits of maritime trade" Marquis Soldton, the deputy minister of military affairs, said in a slow tone, "If the navy can be dispatched to cut off the maritime trade of the Vikians, it will definitely be a heavy blow to the economy of Vikia."
Marquis Felita said with a gloomy face, "It's difficult, in the southern waters of Vekia, there are a large number of fleets composed of merchant groups cruising, they are the eyes of the Vekia fleet, our reconnaissance ships have been intercepted back several times, if the navy is dispatched, and it has not yet reached the destination, it will be driven back by the Vikia navy that is already waiting......"
"Isn't it even the slightest possibility?"
The Marquis of Salton, who was born as an inland lord, asked unwillingly, as an army, he is an experienced, experienced and brave commander, but for the navy, he is quite a layman, in his cognition, the navy should be the same as the army, only a warship can fight. I don't know at all that the sailors of the Navy are not like the infantry of the army, who only need to train for three months or even without training to be able to fight.
Naval sailors take a long time to develop, and experienced seafarers and commanders need more and more time to gain experience, and it is definitely not achieved overnight.
After listening to the note that the Marquis of Felita, the Minister of the Admiralty, would take 3 years to have the strength of a war, the Marquis of Salton, the deputy minister of the Ministry of War, shook his head with some disappointment,
"I see, it's a pity Marquis Salton sighed in his heart, he didn't expect that the navy of the Nord Kingdom had degenerated to such a point, not only could it not confront the Vikia navy head-on, but even the dispatch to harass was powerless. Without naval harassment, the sea routes, which were rich in trade, were of course very free. You can do whatever you want, you can hit wherever you want, and the most important thing is that will the Vikia Navy give the Nord Navy 3 years?,
"Without the support of the navy, we can only cancel the plan to take the initiative to attack Ryan Rik Island and choose the method of holding on to the coast"
The Marquis of Salton said to King Yagrolk, who was looking at the map with his back to him, "I think that the Vicchian army will land on the west coast of the king first. It is the area controlled by the Vicchia Navy, and with the assistance of the pirates of the West Sea, who are the natives of the West Coast, they know the terrain very well and can minimize the resistance to landing."
"Don't we have a chance to delay?" muttered the royal general Osangre, in a low voice.
His big bronze bell-like eyes looked at the map on the wall and were stunned for a while, the section of the west coast embankment cliff that the Marquis of Salton said was more than 400 miles long, and there were large areas of no man's land along the way, in such a huge and harsh area, it was a fool's dream to want to squat and defend the Vekia landing force that only needed a breakthrough point to be able to rush to the coast
"It's not completely nothing, but......" Marquis Salton's eyes flickered and he sighed, and the words stopped
"Say, what can be done" King Yagrolk turned around and looked at him with blazing eyes, "As long as you can buy these 3 precious years for the Nord Kingdom, some necessary sacrifices can be tolerated"
"I heard that Princess Agnhelen of the royal family is fifteen years old, and she will be able to give her coming-of-age ceremony in May this year......," Marquis de Salton bowed respectfully and said slowly with a solemn face.
"Shut up, you fellow" shouted the royal general Osangre next to him, his thick arm twisting the corner of the Marquis de Salton's coat, "What do you want to do, Princess Helen is the most beloved princess of Your Majesty, do you want us Nord Golden Rose to serve that greedy and cruel falcon" "Enough, this matter makes me think about it" King Yagrolk waved his hand to stop the two from arguing.
