Chapter 749: The Right to Plunder Freely

Gabriel nodded and said: "My opinion is the same as that of Marshal Diclan, Siamor does have his own uniqueness, and I personally think that the advantages of reusing him outweigh the disadvantages for three reasons."

First, the alliance is changing, and as a part of it, it is impossible for us to stay out of it, and for a long time, our energy will be involved on land, and we can't bet too much in the East China Sea.

The Explorer Fleet certainly shows its strong side, but it also has its own fatal flaws that cannot be avoided.

The number is scarce, the lonely trees are difficult to support, and once they are damaged, they will cause a devastating blow to our maritime strength is only one aspect.

On the other hand, the Explorer fleet relies heavily on ports for both ammunition supply and material supply, making it difficult to conduct long-distance operations.

I believe that the East China Sea Kingdom will soon discover this defect of ours and take advantage of it.

If we can completely absorb and adapt the fleet led by Shia Moore, we will attack and defend with the explorer fleet at that time, so as to improve our naval strength.

Second, Shiamor led a team to attack the hinterland of the East China Sea Kingdom, not only taking his family over, but also capturing a large number of shipbuilders, and he himself has already shown his determination to join us.

If we break our promise without sufficient reasons, who will dare to believe us easily in the future, and who will dare to surrender to us on a large scale?

This is a typical example of setting up a general, and if this matter is handled well, it may be an additional blow to the East China Sea State.

After all, they are a community of interests, and in terms of cohesion, they are far inferior to us, and Xia Moore also has a lot of influence over there.

Maybe it can help us pull more people over, so as to achieve the goal of weakening the East China Sea Kingdom without bloodshed.

Third, Sia Moore is an experienced captain of the fleet, whether it is traditional naval warfare or sailing experience, he is very rich, it is our military leader scarce talent, using him will greatly promote the development of the military navigation industry. ”

The chief of staff of Gabley's main force finished speaking in one breath, and everyone nodded again and again.

The problems he analyzed were basically rational, and they all had similar analyses in their hearts, but they were not so thorough.

He was able to stand out from the many chiefs of staff, and he did have his own uniqueness.

"You just analyzed the pros and cons? Is there a solution, let's talk about it together. Sean asked with a blank face.

Regarding the disposition of Xiamoor, at the beginning of the recruitment, there were already certain considerations, and the internal opinions were generally unanimous, and now the old matter is brought up again, and it is not necessary to teach the newly promoted chief of staff.

"There are also three drawbacks, one of which is the most core and critical issue, loyalty.

But what I want to ask rhetorically is that loyalty is not innate, but acquired.

Throughout the development process of our military leadership, this problem runs throughout, we can reunite several races with different origins, beliefs, and physical signs into a big family, fighting for the same ideal, and the troops led by Shia Moore have not been able to integrate into us.

I also know that there is a lot of risk involved, but giving up without trying is not the style of our military leaders at all.

I believe that as long as we give them a chance, we will definitely be able to absorb them into our system by virtue of the advantages and policies of our military leaders in all aspects, and I have deep confidence in this.

The second disadvantage is that Shiamor may have a self-respecting army, and the detachment he brought with him will unite around him and become an independent warlord within us, which will eventually lead to a big tail.

This concern is not unfounded, but as long as it is handled properly, it should not cause serious trouble.

Our approach is twofold.

On the one hand, to maintain the strength of the explorer fleet itself, the warships captured from the East China Sea Country, especially the three Dreadnought-class warships, should be refitted as soon as possible.

I think the direction of modification is no longer purely in terms of firepower, the explorer fleet is already strong enough, and it should start from the fleet's own shortcomings, as a transport and supply ship, to increase the attack and defense radius of the explorer fleet.

At the same time, the pace of construction along the coast, various ports of the Danube Plain was accelerated, forming a more comprehensive defense network.

On the other hand, it was only given to Sia Moore military power, and not to him any production and construction rights, especially the shipbuilders, all of which were in our hands.

When the time comes, the army will be self-respecting, and it will be rootless duckweed, and it will not be able to become a climate, so it can only be attached to us.

I believe that the hatred of the East China Sea for them is still above us.

Before the East China Sea Kingdom is completely wiped out, as long as we don't persecute too much, there will be no recurrence on Xiamoore's side, otherwise he himself will become a capricious villain, and no one will dare to give him the slightest trust.

The last drawback should be the predatory wolf nature carried by these troops in the East China Sea, and they are afraid that this disposition will be difficult to change.

However, this kind of predatory wolf nature is not a pure drawback, it mainly depends on how to use it.

Just like before, isn't guiding them to the East Sea Kingdom also bring us great benefits and a heavy blow to the enemy?

I believe that Stubin Junchen wants to cry without tears now, and deeply understands the pain of being robbed.

My personal analysis is generally this, although I have no way to guarantee Siamor and his fleet, if the commanders choose to give them a chance, I am willing to watch their every move as their staff officer.

If they want to do something bad for the leader, they must first step on my corpse. ”

"A good three advantages and three disadvantages, not only the analysis of the surrender problem led by Xia Moore is profound, but even our next two issues are also involved and related to it. Sean's gaze showed a hint of appreciation, and he looked around and said, "What do you marshals think?

"On the question of whether to use Shiamor or not, Chief of Staff Gabley analyzed it very thoroughly. Dicron put down his teacup and said, "But how is it used? How is it adapted? If so, does it need to be modified for their warship? Is there special training for the crew? To what extent has the battleship been modified? To what extent has the crew been trained? ”

"It's not that the chief of staff is not thoughtful, but the marshal's temperament is too anxious, and what we just discussed is how to deal with Sia Moore, and there is no point in discussing things that are too detailed until a consensus is reached. Sean sneered, "The marshal's question has already made his attitude clear, so you support the chief of staff's analysis?"

Marshal Dicron couldn't help but laugh and said: "That's right, it's true that I'm too impatient, but after listening to the chief of staff's analysis, I really can't think of a reason to oppose it, what do you think?"

"I think we can give them a chance, if it works, everyone will be happy, if it doesn't, we can put him down once, we can crush him a second time. Marshal McGee said with a wave of his fist.

"I support this decision. ”

"I support it too. ”

Several other marshals voted in favor, including the chief of staff of Kelman, who was not sensitive to the reduction of Shia Moore, it was not that he had reversed his prejudice against them, but the general situation facing the Eternal Night Army Leader made it inappropriate for them to invest more energy here, and it was not impossible to use Shia Moore temporarily.

"It was unanimously passed, and the matter was settled. Sean decided, "Chief of Staff Gable, you have heard the question raised by Marshal Dicron just now, so you can continue to tell me what you think about it!"

"I think there are only two ways to use the Siamor They, the first is to completely adapt them as a whole and turn them into a regular fleet of ours.

However, it took a long time and effort to do so, and faced many obstacles, especially in the ownership of warships, most of which were private in nature.

And once we choose to do so, we must treat them equally, whether it is in terms of equipment or warship modification, otherwise we will create our own contradictions.

The second method is to ensure a certain degree of autonomy and hire them as mercenaries at sea.

Just like the mercenaries who are now popular on the mainland, every war and every mission is paid.

The benefits of this are numerous.

First of all, we don't need to consider their loyalty in the short term, anyway, the two sides are linked by interests, and it is enough to ensure that both parties have enough common interests.

Second, if they don't owe allegiance to us, we don't need to treat them equally, and we can openly use double standards.

They want the supplies, services, and equipment of our military leaders, and they can.

Not only do you need to spend money to buy, but you also need to have the corresponding merits, and in this regard, we can take advantage of the mature standards of the mercenary industry.

I believe that our Warlords have enough unique materials to attract them to spend a lot of money on them.

For example, the castrated version of the skill has eliminated the original version of the inheritance circuit.

Retrofitting of the battleship with artillery, ammunition, etc.

Doing so will further stimulate their predatory wolf nature, and they will be like a wolf pack, attacking and attacking, plundering and plundering, in exchange for more and more powerful materials from us.

The way we charge them for their modification is not limited to cash, prisoners of war, occupied islands, supplies needed by military leaders, new routes, etc., can be discounted.

At that time, we only need to sit back and enjoy the success, and we will be able to transfer the wealth of the entire East China Sea to our own use. ”

When Gabley's main chief of staff said the end, everyone's eyes couldn't help but turn to Sean.

Only Marshal McGee, who was half a beat slowly, couldn't help but say, "The second method of the chief of staff, why does it sound so familiar?"

Dicron smiled: "Can it not be familiar? This itself is a refined version of the settlement method that Lord originally recruited Xia Moore, but I didn't expect the Chief of Staff to coincide with Lord Lord's thoughts." ”

"The marshal has a good reputation, but I don't dare to take credit. Gabriel shook his head again and again, "This strategy was also inspired by the negotiations between Lord Lord and Shiamor when they met, and I don't know if it is feasible. ”

"In fact, I have been weighing these two placement methods for a long time. Sean couldn't help but express his opinion and said, "The first method is decent, it is the old road we have often taken over the years, and the problems in it are predictable, and the results are predictable, that is, it is just one more fleet for us."

The second method is to completely break the convention, and the rest is left alone, there is one of the biggest negative effects, and we are giving them the right to plunder freely at sea.

The pursuit of profit will become their greatest instinct, and under this instinct, the so-called humanity and morality will be trampled into the mud by them.

At that time, the speed and cruelty of their expansion will be beyond our imagination. ”

"What does it matter?" Marshal McGee shrugged indifferently, "as long as they don't aim their guns at our territory, why should they care about the raging war outside? ”

This is a typical military doctrine, where the security and unity of one's own territory are above all else.

"Sometimes the lord is too merciful, how can there be perfect things in this world?" Marshal Dicron said, "The lord only needs to leave this mercy to his own people, whether others can live a rich life is not a question we should consider, and being plundered is not their only choice when the time comes, joining our Eternal Night Army and getting our protection is also a good way out, and it is not too late for us to plan a better future for them." ”

"Any policy is gradual, if this policy is beneficial to us at the moment, we will implement it first, and when it feels inappropriate, then temporarily turn the head of the car, anyway, the rudder is in our hands, we are not direct participants, even if there is notoriety, it cannot be completely counted on our heads. Field Marshal Eriksson agreed.

"It seems that you all like the second strategy. Sean was a little surprised in his heart, he had never felt that the expansion of his marshals was so heavy.

"It's not about love, it's about the right strategy. Kelman's chief of staff also strongly supported, "This does not need to pollute the purity of our army, and some dirty things do not need our army to intervene, expansion can never be carried out in peace, why not?"

"Since this matter involves the integration of the two parties, what we do here is a unilateral decision after all, whether it is good or bad, it is easy to cause a backlash from the other party, we might as well listen to the opinions and choices of the other party first, and then make a final decision is not too late." Sean muttered.

It's not that he's indecisive, it's that he's in a high position, and this kind of decision involves a lot of things, and when making a decision, he weighs as many aspects as possible and tries to make the most beneficial choice for himself.

"Either way, getting Shiamore's active cooperation is the focus, and getting him involved is a good option. Gabrai was the first to agree.

"I'd love to meet him. Dicron agreed.

The other marshals exchanged views, and finally said that they had generally agreed internally, and that it would be okay to let Shia Moore join in.
