"They want the fleet, or to put it bluntly, they want Saint-Margaery. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Carlil dropped her quill on the map, and the tip of the pen threw out a few dots of ink to form scattered ink spots.

Although the main purpose of the plan was to raid the semi-port city called Purniden, in reality they wanted much more than that.

Of course, they were referring to the likes of Moulton and Angus, and perhaps they wouldn't have wanted to do things the way they did, but in all fairness, the existence of this raid plan was a matter of course in a situation where interests were paramount.

"In order to raid Purniden, they need to find some ships, because Purniden is a very important forward city, and the ground defense of this place is quite tight...... If the map is reliable, it looks like this. Kahlil said as she casually pointed to the map, which marked some of the checkpoints and defenses outside the city that were built on the terrain, and many other places where it was impossible to figure out the exact location, but could only circle the area and mark the sentry tower.

The garrison troops are stationed in place, the fortifications are built by the mountains and rivers, and all kinds of defense lines that should be prepared are well stationed, and it is not easy to advance from the ground.

"However, the sea route is different." Kahlil pointed to the edge of the continent on the map, and several thin colored lines were drawn from Purniden, indicating the routes to and from other surrounding ports: "The management of the sea route is much more chaotic, and the comings and goings are quite chaotic, in addition to the ships that come and go on the route, there are also some fishing boats that go out to sea often come and go, and the difficulty of touching fish is compared with the ground, it is like a sky and an underground." ”

Qing Xi stood next to his desk, looking at the map and listening to Kalil's description, quietly clasping his hands to his chest, patiently waiting for Kahlil to finish speaking.

"And before Sunderland reacted, we had the advantage of equipment for a while"

The world has not yet equipped ships with large-scale long-range weapons such as artillery, and the structure of ships is much simpler, to put it bluntly, naval warfare has not been developed at all, and it is basically still competing as land, and in this way, its own side has the advantage of fighting.

“…… Anyway, I'll interject a question," Karil was stunned for a moment, then looked up.

"Please." Qing Ci nodded.

Karil patted her head and asked, "Do you know anything about ships?" If I'm not mistaken, you came here by a big boat! Thinking about it this way, the navigation skills must be much higher than theirs! So what do you ...... about it Do you know anything about ship design in particular? If you don't have navigation, do you have any technology that you can come up with? ”

In fact, in addition to having a good teacher, the attainments in alchemy also benefited from the kind of high-intensity mathematics, physics and chemistry education that he originally received in the Celestial Empire.

But shipbuilding is different, in this respect Karil is completely a layman, Carlil himself knows very well that interlacing is like a mountain, and unfortunately or fortunately, Qing Xi also understands this truth.

So Kaliel, full of expectations, received a disappointing answer from Qing Xi: "I'm sorry, but it's not within my knowledge. ”

After saying that, Qing Xi shook his head really apologetically.

"Well, forget it" Anyway, Karil doesn't really think that Qing Ci can understand this aspect, as long as people can fight, it is enough: "So, okay, anyway......"

"Well, please go on."

"Scaloa's level of navigation is almost zero, which is not worth expecting at all, and our technology alone will not be able to do anything even if there are any holes in the Purniden sea line." Kahlil said, taking out another map and spreading it out over the original one.

"So we need some outside support."

As she spoke, she circled the ports of St. Margeolly next door.

The technology of the people is much higher than that of Scalloa, which is determined by the geographical location, and they are suitable for the development of the maritime industry, and the geographical conditions in this regard are inherently superior to Scalloa.

In that case, it would be nice to get help from them.

"But apparently, now the Morton and Angus gang ...... It's not that simple. Carlil let out a long sigh of relief and drew a few more rough lines on the map.

It was the march of Angus, Matthew, and several other troops that had suddenly crossed from Skaloa, and several arrows made a few bends along the terrain, and then pointed together in one direction.

They didn't want St. Margaery's ship, but they wanted the whole of St. Margaery, and these people in Scaloa suddenly made it clear that it was impossible to be a peaceful diplomacy, and it was a matter of course to have bad intentions in this situation, and to pull the defensive line into the territory of Saint-Margaery from the beginning was to cause trouble for the other side - they did not have the advantage of weapons that fell from the sky here in Scalloa, and if they wanted to resist the attack, they would have to invest much more troops, so as to drain the defenses of the hinterland even more.

That's one of the things I was looking for......

Now it is necessary to rush into the capital of St. Margeret and bring the whole of St. Margaery under the tent - this process can be digested slowly, we can call their ships to finish our own business first, and then come back and slowly digest the meat that has been swallowed in the stomach.

Qing Xi frowned, and Karil talked to him for a long time one after another, and he knew the next step, but now he had a bit of a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and he was still swallowed at this juncture: "Is this feasible?" ”。

"Maybe." To Qing Xi's surprise, Karil's response was an innocent shrug of her shoulders: "I have also questioned this, it is not difficult to rush into the capital in this situation, and it is easy to control the king and nobles, but how to safely digest the prey instead of being bitten by the prey is a very troublesome problem." ”

"The result?"

"No result!" Carlil reluctantly continued: "Morton said that it is good for them to do this, we only need to do what we need to do, probably not planning to spend too much time on this issue for our daughters, anyway, it will not have any impact on their decision-making...... Besides, to be honest, I may not be able to understand it, since my father is so confident and full of confidence, I think it is necessary to have a complete plan and full grasp...... I didn't ask any further. ”

But these are not the point, now how Scarloa wants to occupy St. Margaery, how to use their defense line and resources, how to develop and so on can not be cared about for the first time, since Morton is so sure, then rest assured that he is left to him, another problem is the main one.

"Okay, the problem with the ship is solved...... Incidentally, having solved the resource problem, the real main part of the plan was to raid Poornenden, okay...... Now a new problem arises, and even now, the success rate of this sea sneak attack is about ...... Optimistic estimates are only fifty percent. ”

Fifty percent is quite high, strategically this fifty percent is already worth taking a risk for considerable gains, but on the other hand, the loss is a bit too huge if it fails.

"I suppose you have your own ideas, and that may be bothering Mr. Moulton instead." Qing Xi couldn't help but smile, looking at Kalil's expression, she could almost guess what she wanted to do, and she could be regarded as running around with her for a while, and Kaliel's various habits of dealing with problems were in her eyes, and now in this situation, this powerful girl wants to have her own plan, and this eighty percent has to put herself into this plan.

"Ha......" Karil had a feeling that the mystery had been pierced in advance: "I don't bother to analyze the various reasons, but now the idea is to let them attack by sea while adding a frontal force to feint, and on the other hand, let people touch the city first, end their commander, disrupt their communication, and shake their defenses!" ”

"Okay, so who do you think is the best person to do this?" Kiyoshi straightened up and smiled meaningfully.

"What else do you need to say?" Kahlil grinned, "You and me, is there a better choice." ”

Qing Xi stroked the dagger in his hand, and nodded leisurely: "It's my job to guard your left and right, who cares about the rest?" ”

Very good......

Since the parties have no objections, the next step is to convince their father to do this.

Kahlil stood up, beckoned to Qing Ci and said, "Let's go, let's go home." ”

There is a fixed-point teleportation array, and the two of them go back to the castle is a matter of minutes, and the hands that are held in front of their chests are naturally lowered, and Qing Xi follows Kahlil and walks out of the study.

I didn't expect to go back and forth twice today, but fortunately there was a teleportation.

By the time Kahlil came out of the alchemy room of the Andris family for the second time today, the two maids were already waiting at the door, although this time Gahia was not super active in waiting for him, but he still called the two maids to take Karil upstairs for him. Of course, there is also a Qing Ritual behind him.

It was probably because of the fact that I had just talked for a while in the middle of the afternoon, and there were no more words to say when I met my mother again, and after a cordial greeting, Kahlil simply asked about her father, but at this time Morton was not in the castle and would not return until dinner time.

That's just right, and the after-dinner time is just right to get down to business.

Now the time is a little early, and the evening seems a little longer, and there is not enough time to find something to do, and Caryl, who thinks that it is not up to it, finally chooses the kitchen, to add a few dishes to her dinner, to satisfy her appetite. Since the last time she had dinner, Kahlil has been feeling that even her own food is not fully satisfying, and she has to do it herself.

When Morton came back and saw Carlil, he seemed a little different, but he expected that Carlil would come back, Carlil pulled the Qingxi, and a table of people was eating dinner calmly, probably because of Carlil's small stove relationship this time, everyone was busier than usual when eating, since it occupied some organs of speech, naturally the number of people talking at the dinner table decreased, and it was a little dull to come and go.

Then, according to Karil's request, after the meal, several people each made a little bit, and gathered in the conference room of the castle, waiting to hear what Carlil had to say, but Carlil himself was a little late, and in the conference room, Morton and Gahia looked at each other, not knowing what they were thinking.

"Actually, we can greatly improve the odds of winning this raid" Before the butts of the few people were hot, Karil burst in from the outside, and said loudly, quickly stepped forward and slapped a few maps on the table. (To be continued.) )
