Chapter 252: Military Discussion
There are many types of warships in the Angry Waves, except for the building ships that serve as flagships, the largest number of them are assault warships.
To put it bluntly, this kind of ship is a shrunken single-story ship, more narrow and slender, with a hull ranging from 10 to 20 meters, completely determined by the keel, with ramming angles, slaps, small sails and a large number of treadmill rocking oars.
The small ones can only carry twenty or thirty people, and the big ones are not a problem to plug fifty or sixty people.
The advantage of this kind of boat is obvious, that is, it is fast enough, and the three means of sailing and oars are all at once, just like flying fish on water, it is the best choice for attacking and charging, and when necessary, it can also provide long-range support with longbowmen on it.
The disadvantages are the same as the building boats, they are all flat-bottomed boats, the center of gravity is relatively high, the wind and waves are relatively poor, and they are also dominant in the inland rivers.
However, for a short time, the Raging Waves Navy did not have the opportunity to deal with the sea, and they were enough.
In addition, there are many troop carriers converted from fishing boats, which are simply carrying tools, and there is really nothing worth mentioning.
The Rock.
One of the three flagships of the Angry Waves, based at Andes Inland Lake.
However, since the day it was launched, it has not been idle, not only serving as a training ship, but also as the general headquarters of the Angry Waves Legion.
If necessary, it will also have to act as a transport ship, transporting artisans and supply and demand supplies to the monument fortress group, who will make it load large enough.
Although the Explorer, the Twins, and the Rock were manufactured by the same shipyard, the same people, and the same process, there are still great differences and each has its own characteristics.
After all, the current shipbuilding process relies heavily on materials, especially keels.
The final appearance of a ship is mostly determined by it.
The Explorer's keel is elongated, so it is relatively narrow, and the various types of protective armor are the weakest, but the speed is the fastest of the three, so it was transferred to patrol missions.
The Twin Twin is not named after the Twin Cities, but because of its own characteristics, it is built by two relatively small keels, and the horizontal development is more serious.
The Twin is the slowest of the three, but it has the strongest carrying capacity and the most ferocious long-range firepower, but so far, its greatest use is to act as a transshipment cargo ship for the north and south cities of the Twins, carrying people and goods.
The only time it was used for military operations was to cooperate with Anjibena to seize the ports along the Jacob River, and there was no chance to fire a single cannon or arrow from the beginning to the end, and it completely acted as a large troop carrier.
This situation, I'm afraid it will continue for a while, the strategic advantage of the Eternal Night Army Leader is too obvious, and now it is a rolling situation, and there is no need to use all your strength at all.
The keel of the Rock is the largest of the Rose and Angie Bena, and since it was the last to be completed, the craftsmanship is also the most skillful, and it already has a four-story structure.
The performance is decent, there are no strengths, there are no shortcomings, advance can be attacked, retreated and defended, poked on the river surface, is a rock.
It is the first prototype finalized by the Eternal Night Shipyard, and it will be mass-produced in the future, all of which are this rock model.
At this moment, the Rock War Room is full of people, and a pre-war meeting against the Swamp of Despair is being held to make final preparations.
"I think the most important thing to eat the Swamp of Despair is not how much land to occupy, after all, the land will not run, but to break the minions of the jackals peeping at it, so that they have no ability to compete with us, and we will develop a little bit more, which is the right way, otherwise we will develop on the front foot, and they will fight on the back foot, and neither of them will be able to live in peace. ”
Kelman, the young and powerful chief of military staff, is the most typical hawk in the military staff, advocating offense, attacking, and attacking, and in his eyes offense is the best defense.
He also revered this in his military campaign against the swamp of despair.
The current rhetoric is already quite mild, but he has advocated that he directly attack the Kingsley family by surprise and cripple all their living forces, and then he will naturally not be able to compete with them for the Swamp of Despair.
This strategy was vetoed by Sean with a veto.
Doing so would knock out Swamp of Despair's biggest rival.
But the nature of the matter has completely changed, and instead of fighting for the Swamp of Despair, the Eternal Night Leader takes the initiative to attack the Byron Alliance Leader.
At that time, even the regent Princess Sophia will not be able to help them speak, on the contrary, under the joint pressure of all the Grand Dukes' families, it is very likely that the entire Byron Alliance will march into the Swamp of Despair, and even attack the Eternal Night Commander.
The situation will be even more chaotic and uncontrollable.
The Kingsleys are the biggest contenders to the Swamp of Despair for the Eternal Night, but in a way, they are allies, and they will keep the other greedymen out until they are sure that they are completely out of contention.
In other words, before the Kingsley family is out, the enemy is in the dark.
Once they knock the Kingsley family out of the game early, it will become a dark enemy.
How to choose, it goes without saying.
The young military chief of staff did not give up his opinion, and retreated to the second, believing that the military layout of the Eternal Night Army should focus on the line between the Carthian Hills and the Desperate Swamp, and when the time comes, it will not be considered to cross the line by attacking the Kingsley family in an ambush.
"Our eyes can't just stare at the Swamp of Despair, according to the summary of intelligence from many aspects, the number of aborigines in the Swamp of Despair is not small, especially on both sides of the Danube River, it is their main settlement, once we enter on a large scale, they will definitely not sit idly by, if they are united, it will be a terrifying force, for them, we are out-and-out invaders, once we are not careful, we will not die. ”
It was Brann, another military chief of staff in the Military Staff, who spoke.
A wise man is not necessarily a warlock, but a warlock is necessarily a smart man.
As a master-level warlock, Brann is even more of a smart person.
When he was deliberately embarrassed by the Eternal Night Military Leader, he still cleared the customs with excellent results and entered the military staff.
Everything here opened his eyes, knowing that the Walled City Alliance was not unjust at all, even if there was no invasion of the mountain Kentana barbarians as an inducement, it was not a difficult thing for the Eternal Night Group Army to win the Walled City Alliance with its own ability, it depended on whether he was willing to bear such a big loss.
As a result, he accepted the fact that the Walled City Alliance was a thing of the past faster than his father, Ben Hebrew, and learned and integrated into the new group of the Eternal Night Commanders at a rapid pace.
After three years of study, he has become a qualified military chief of staff, and he is fully committed to planning for the commander of the Eternal Night.
Bryan's finger ran a line across the military map.
The line, twisting and turning, was like a python lurking in a swamp of despair.
It is the Desperate Nu River, also known as the Danube, whose flow has been severely affected by the drastic drop in the water level of the headwaters of the Andes Inland Lake, and it is now more appropriate to revert to its old name.
The banks of the Danube are densely packed with flags of different sizes.
Each flag represents a crocodile village.
There is no doubt that most of this is the credit of Sean, who detected it from high in the sky with the Thunder Golden Eagle.
There is also a part of it that is Hawkeye's supplementary information, but it is minimal.
Not to mention that the crocodile people are very xenophobic, and the outsiders can't easily fit in, just talk about the sinister environment of the Desperate Swamp itself, and people who are not familiar with it rush in, and ten lives are not enough to lose.
The Eternal Night Warlord had tried to cast Eagle Eye here, and not in waves.
But most of the trained Hawkeye were gone, and they gave up on the attempt.
"A group of uncivilized savage natives, just kill them all. Andes Tiger Tagore had an eagerness in his eyes.
He is a standard war maniac, and he will be excited when he smells the breath of war, especially after becoming the commander of the second legion of the Eternal Night Group Army, he has not fought a serious battle until now, which makes him full of resentment, if he doesn't fight, why raise so many soldiers?
"In the eyes of the Byrons, we are also a group of savage natives. Erickson replied faintly.
"It's not the same thing at all!" Tagore said with wide eyes, "According to you, we still have to ask them to join us?" Even if you are willing to ask for it, people will agree, and I want to say, this kind of thing, it depends on the fist, as long as our fists are hard enough to beat them, they will take the initiative to ask us to let them join." ”
"That's right, but you can't do that. Deban Hebrew, who has become the chief military chief of staff of the Eternal Night Army, twisted his beard, "Salute before soldiers and salute before soldiers, they are completely different things, for the sake of the reputation of our territory, I think it is more appropriate to salute first and then soldiers." ”
"That's right, we can be regarded as a force with a head and a face now, some rules still have to be talked about, and it is not too late to test the attitude of the other party who is tempting. ”
"Anyway, we still have plenty of time now, so why not give it a try, and there is nothing to lose for us. ”
"I agree to salute before soldiers. ”
"I also agree to salute before soldiers. ”
Other high-ranking leaders of the Eternal Night Army have expressed their stance one after another, and most of them have chosen to salute first and then soldier.
With the increase of his own strength, he must always show the bearing of the strong, and the Eternal Night Army Leader is not the strongest now, but he is at least one step ahead of the crocodile people.
Speaking of which, Lanxi pear also plays a role in this, he is about the Andes, the Byron people, including the current crocodile people are all a race, the former ancient Andes Empire, but the environment makes their appearance a little different.
Although the upper echelons of the Eternal Night Army Leader did not completely accept this idea, when they looked at things, they faintly stood at a higher level, and were no longer bound by the racial identity of the Andes.
And that's exactly what Sean wants to see, and it's not in vain that he forces them to listen to Mr. Lan Xili's class.
Focusing too much on their racial identity can make them more united, but it can prevent them from integrating into larger groups.
Compared to the Byron Alliance, the Andes who have been confined to the Andes Mountains for so many years are a small race after all.
If the Byron League wants them to accept them, they must also face each other.
It is precisely because of this series of foreshadowing that the policy towards the princess regent has not been strongly opposed.
"Then salute before you soldier. Sean clapped the floor and set the tone.
He now has a deep understanding of the way of power, and he rarely throws out his views at the first time in a military meeting like the one in front of him, even before this, he already has a draft in his heart to salute first and then soldier.
You also need to listen to other people's opinions before you talk about it.
If, as is the case at present, the development of the whole meeting coincides with one's own ideas, and it is not too late to come forward to finalize it, it will give everyone an illusion of democracy and conform to their own wishes.
If the development of the meeting is contrary to his own ideas, he will say it through the mouths of others by hinting methods, and if it is still opposed by the majority, then put it on hold.
Over and over again, others will more or less find out what he thinks, and then compromise with each other to achieve a result that everyone is happy with.
Of course, rough people like McGee the Skullcrusher and Rabindranath Tagore the Andys the Tiger laughed at the whimsical ideas that popped into their heads.
Since Tagore joined, McGee the Skullcrusher has begun to play deep, not because his scheming has improved a lot, but it is that this tiger is not only fast with a knife, but also has a fast mouth, and has preempted many words that originally belonged to him, and has become the target of bombardment.
But he never tired of it.
As for whether he wants to gain more sense of presence from these unique views?
Or if he really thinks differently, that's unknown.
Even after setting the main tone, Tagore still muttered, "You wait and see, this kind of posturing will not lead to anything, and in the end, it depends on whether the fist is hard enough." ”
Fortunately, many of the opinions of this kind of crude person are blurted out, and they have no deep meaning, so naturally they will not insist too much, and they will not take it seriously if they are rejected.
After the salute was finalized before the soldiers, the selection of the envoy became a problem.
This time the situation was very different from that of Erickson's mission to the Silver Wolf Tribe.
When Erickson sent an envoy to the Silver Wolf Tribe, the Eternal Night Leader had long known the situation there, and even the temperament of the chief of the Silver Wolf Tribe was almost touched.
Even if the other party does not accept their proposal, it is impossible to embarrass their envoy, which is far less dangerous than it seems.
On the contrary, when Erickson gave advice to the Silver Wolf Tribe, he made dangerous moves and hung his life under the knife, and once the strategy failed, it was very likely that he would put himself in it.
This time the Swamp of Despair was different.
The Eternal Night Commander knows very little about the situation here, not to mention the situation inside them, even if it is a general location, it is Shaun who looks down on the location from the air, and what is the status of these tribal towns among the crocodile people, I don't know anything, it is completely estimated by Sean based on the approximate size.
This requires that the quality of the envoy must not be low, and he must be proficient in the way of adaptation, and he cannot be qualified by just one soldier.
"I'll go. Kelman, the young military chief of staff, stepped forward, his eyes full of fighting spirit, "I would like to be the pioneer of the generals to find out the situation in the swamp of despair." ”
Now in the Military Staff, the former Chief of Staff Erikson, has become an example for all military staff officers.
Except for the Hebrew of Ben, which has a bit of a resettlement and pension flavor, there are a few young people who do not want to enter the army and command their own soldiers to fight.
Planning behind the scenes and directing on the ground are two different things.
Although they knew that Erickson's transfer to the commander of the Third Legion had no direct relationship with the Silver Wolf Tribe, but was the result of past accumulation, it still did not prevent these young people from actively participating after seeing similar things, and for them, it was a matter of life and death.
Once successful, it will accumulate a lot of merit for them.
