Chapter 748: Chain Reaction
"If it was before, we would definitely not have a chance, but now, after Shia Moore betrayed us with a large number of our people, he gave us a chance, and I believe that there must be loyal people among them who are loyal to us, even if they don't, we can create them at a high price. Captain Lena sneered, "Unless the Eternal Night Leader doesn't use them at all, but then Shia Moore's life will be sad." ”
"Whether it works out or not, this method can be tried, even if it is to divide the relationship between the Eternal Night Warlord and Xia Mor, it is also good. Stubin reconciled the two opinions, "But our own research team still needs to be established, although our port has been seriously damaged, and many craftsmen have been taken away by the bastard who eats inside and outside Sia Moore, but in a hurry, they can't do it so cleanly, there must be many people who have escaped, collect all these people, I want to build a larger shipyard and arsenal, and make every effort to promote this matter, since this idea was proposed by Captain Cornell, I will leave it to you." ”
"Me?" Captain Cornell looked surprised, obviously not expecting this important task to fall back on his head.
After all, his background is similar to that of Captain Shiamor and he has just experienced a betrayal, and King Stubbin is even more wary of people of his origin.
"Why? you don't want to?" asked Stubin with a blank face.
"No...... No, it's my pleasure, it's my greatest honor. Captain Cornell hurriedly replied.
"Okay, I'm tired, let's stop here today!" Steubin waved his hand, "In the next period of time, if we are busy, let's go back and get a good night's sleep! The warships of the Eternal Night Army will not rush into the Great Bay Islands, and their warships cannot afford to lose." ”
"Then we won't disturb Your Majesty's rest. ”
"We'll quit first!"
The captains of the fleet stood up one after another to take their leave.
After seeing the captains leave, Stubin stood at the bow of the flagship, and had no intention of resting.
"Why didn't you go to rest?" Steubin asked Prince Layton, who had been standing motionless behind him.
Prince Leiden hesitated for a moment before he said, "Father, what can I do?" I know that I have behaved badly this time, but I also want to share my father's worries, and I will definitely do my best this time, and I will never disgrace my father." ”
Stubin turned his head to look directly at Prince Layton and said, "My son, do you think I was disappointed with your previous performance and didn't assign you a task?"
"No, it's just that I can't forgive myself, I actually made stupid mistakes one after another, causing the East China Sea Kingdom to suffer unnecessary losses in vain. Prince Layton had a lingering remorse on his face.
"Victory or defeat on the battlefield is a common occurrence, and as I have said before, this defeat is not a sin of war. Stubin patted Prince Layton on the shoulder and said, "Your self-blame is just asking for trouble, failure is not terrible, the terrible thing is that after failure, the whole person is immersed in failure, and can no longer stand up, your current performance is not like my Stubin son, you are now the only person I can trust all my trust, if you don't stand up from failure, who do I entrust to the responsibility." ”
"Father......" Prince Leiden couldn't help but choke up.
He was still too young compared to Stubbin, and the war dealt a heavy blow to him.
In the past, he was just pretending to be strong in front of others.
"Just cry this time, after crying, cheer me up, I have more important tasks to be entrusted to you. Stubbin's face involuntarily softened a lot, even if it was a cold-blooded shark, it had its own tenderness.
After hearing this, Prince Leiden immediately wiped his tears and said, "Father, please rest assured, I am not so fragile yet, what is the task, just say it." ”
Stubbin's eyes flickered, and he said faintly: "From today on, my Blood Shark Guard will be handed over to your commander, and send someone to keep an eye on all the captains of the fleet and those captains with relatively high reputations, and if you find that they meet with each other frequently or have a close relationship, report to me immediately." ”
Prince Leiden's face changed slightly, and he said, "Father is doing this because he is worried that they will be like Siamor and defect to the Eternal Night Commander?"
"Now that the overall situation is not on our side, it is inevitable that some people will move their own careful thoughts, it is always right to be careful, I don't want to stab myself in my sleep. Stubbin's face was extremely cold at the moment.
"I see. Prince Leiden nodded, with a hint of difficulty on his face, "I am very happy that my father has entrusted me with such an important task, but I have no experience in this kind of task, once it is revealed, I am afraid that it will cause a bad impact, and I am afraid that when the time comes, it will be difficult to do secrets in the end, but I will miss my father's big business." ”
"On the contrary, you are the best fit. Stubin shook his head and said, "Who said that this matter must be done extremely secretively? if they can't detect it, then all we will harvest is a dead corpse, and the main purpose is to let them know that I am keeping an eye on them, so that they don't dare to act rashly." ”
"Understood. Prince Leiden suddenly realized, patted his chest and said, "Promise to complete the task, father, you rest early, and I will mobilize people." ”
"Go!" said Stubin with a wave of his hand.
Prince Leiden, who had received a new mission, left in a hurry, as if full of vitality.
Stubbin turned to face the devastated Grand Bay Islands again, a trace of confusion crossed his face, and he couldn't help but murmur in a low voice, "Am I really wrong?"
This kind of self-doubt only lasted for a few seconds, and Stubbin's face reappeared with confidence and determination, and he clenched his fists hard, and roared: "No, I'm not wrong, the Western Sea is a quagmire, where I will always be just a captain of the Cummins family, only by breaking away from there, can I control my own destiny, and since I have come out, I must not be involved again."
Misestimating the strength of the Eternal Night Commander was just a normal tactical mistake.
I, Stubbin, will never fall down and never get up again because of a defeat.
I don't believe that the Endless Sea is so big that there is no place for me.
What I lost today, one day, I must regain it with my own hands.
This is true of the Great Bay Islands, and so is the Dragon's Roar. ”
Stubin had finally turned into a hoarse roar.
Bang!
I don't know when, the sky has completely overcast, lightning and thunder, and it has rained heavily.
Stubin himself didn't notice it, and his body trembled involuntarily when he heard the thunder in the sky.
The fear of the roar of the artillery of the Eternal Night Army, unconsciously, has been engraved on his body,
This situation is not unique to the East China Sea Fleet.
Many sailors and crews, after hearing the thunder, huddled in the corner of the cabin one by one, trembling and shouting hoarsely, the shelling is coming, the shelling is coming, so that many sailors and sailors who do not know what they know are mistakenly thinking it is true, like headless flies, jumping around, until those captains and captains come forward to suppress this panic.
The trauma inflicted on the East China Sea Fleet by the Eternal Night Commander is not just as simple as the loss of warships and personnel, but also in their psychology.
The seeds of fear have been quietly planted.
Good things rarely come in pairs, but bad things are often in a series of ways, especially in the case of defeat, because a series of complications follow.
First, the captains and captains of the East China Sea Fleet began to speak out, asking Stubin for compensation for war losses, and questioning his ability to rule.
Steubin not only opened the treasury of the East China Sea, but even his own personal treasury, had to be opened, partially compensated them, and promised a series of benefits.
Fang barely managed to appease them.
Before this matter was completely settled, the islanders and natives of 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 wounded, and there is no way to fight a land war with a large number of islanders and natives.
Stubin had to give up his territory on the island and retract his coastal ports in full.
It's just that in this way, eighty percent of the grain producing areas that the East China Sea country has developed with great difficulty have been lost, and the food crisis has followed.
The catch at sea can only last for a while, and it is impossible to delay it for too long.
If they do not solve the food problem as soon as possible, the second unrest within the East China Sea Fleet is basically predictable.
In this case, Steobin has to grit his teeth.
Support Lena's fleet in their long-term ocean quest to find new lands.
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 Seas to find a second way out.
Enduring threats and harassment from the Eternal Night Command's fleet at all times.
One can imagine what kind of dire situation the East China Sea is in.
War is like a scale, when one side falls to the bottom, the other side of the scale must rise high.
This point was vividly demonstrated in the naval battle between the Eternal Night Army Leader and the East China Sea Kingdom.
How miserable the defeat of the East China Sea Kingdom is, how great the harvest of the Eternal Night Army Leader is.
This is especially clear from the official newspaper of the Eternal Night Army.
"The main fleet of the puppet country was trapped on the Danube River for twenty-five days"
"The detachment of the puppet country, trapped in the people's sea tactics in the Five River Valleys"
"The surrender of the detachment led by Shiamor is a common victory for the people of the eternal night"
"Oolong Incident, the main fleet of the puppet country took advantage of the fog to raid, but exchanged fire with the rescue fleet and suffered heavy losses"
"Great victory! Sia Moore led the Toucheng fleet, raided the puppet country's lair, and returned triumphantly"
Although these reports are not immediate, they also have a very large amount of moisture in them, and some key things have been shaved off, but they still play a very good role in invigorating the soldiers and civilians of the Eternal Night Army.
It not only further strengthened the centripetal force of the military and the people, but also made many soldiers and civilians suddenly realize that their military leaders were already so powerful, which stimulated their development and guided more soldiers and civilians to take the initiative to go to the Danube Plain to pioneer.
After all, the situation in the East China Sea has been reversed, and they have turned from defense to attack.
The post-war summary and resettlement meeting of the Eternal Night Army Leader was also held in full swing.
This time, the venue was not placed in Jiangmen Port, but in the East China Sea, on the New Dragon Roar.
"Before the official start of the military conference, allow me to express my gratitude to all the marshals, generals, soldiers and people on the front line, thank you for your concerted efforts, thank you for your heroic fight, for our territory, for our people, for me such a glorious victory, from this moment on, I can proudly announce that the East China Sea can be incorporated into the territory of the Eternal Night Army. Sean was the first to speak.
"It's our job. All the commanders of the Eternal Night Army stood up in unison and gave a standard military salute.
"I should raise a glass to you all of you for such a glorious victory, but the grim situation facing our military leaders does not allow it, and we still have stronger and more terrifying enemies to face. Sean said with a solemn expression, "The situation has been completely confirmed, Naren Toya's undead empire has set its sights on us, and their undead canopy is spreading south along the junction of the Kentana Ice Field, and in less than three days, it will enter the Kogel grassland, this enemy is different from Stubbin, different from most of the enemies we have faced in the past, and we must not be proud because of the little achievements we have won in the East China Sea." ”
"Your Excellency, please give the order, our First Army is ready to go to the front at any time. Marshal McGee was the first to speak.
"The Second Army is at the mercy of your lord at any time. Marshal Tagore also stood up and said loudly.
"The Third Army is on call at any time. Field Marshal Erikson also stood up and said.
"The Guards Army is always waiting for the Lord's call. Marshal Dicron said.
"The Fifth Army will be the sharpest spear in the hands of your lord. Marshal Yar said in a loud voice.
"Okay!" Sean nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand, "But before that, let's sweep the tail on the side of the Danube Plain, there are three main topics today, let's start with the first topic, the placement of Shia Moore and the detachment he led, Chief of Staff Gable, you have been in contact with them the longest, and you know the most about them, so start with you, and tell me your own opinion." ”
"Then I'll talk about my shallow views first, and see if it is any inspiration for the lords and marshals. Gable's main chief of staff was obviously prepared, and replied without hesitation, "Judging from the contacts during this time, Shia Moore is a very decisive person, either he doesn't make a decision, and once he makes a decision, he will devote all his energy to completing it."
In the ability to command, he is also one and the same, he has a very strong ability to control the fleet, many captains, and even boatswains are directly ordered to serve him, although he left thirty percent of the wealth plundered from the ports of the East China Sea, but it is not reserved for himself, but distributed to the families of those sailors and sailors who died in battle.
He didn't make this decision to buy 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 in the position of the first captain of the East China Sea Country as a non-Stubin descendant. ”
"Heavy re-pension!" Dicron sighed and said, "This person is either affectionate and righteous, or he is a hero, no matter which one it is, the detachment he brought is a monolith, and it will be a little 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 pulled by the situation on the mainland, there is no way to take care of this side, there are only two ways for this kind of person, either reuse, or directly beat him to death with a stick, without giving him any chance to turn over." ”
