“…… How many goblin ironclads were captured this time? That's great! That's great! ”

Only the winners of the war have the time and energy to clean up the battlefield, and although many wounded soldiers could have been treated, the losing side will never have this chance. In the New World, there are no legal texts such as the Geneva Conventions, and it is normal and common practice for the victors to directly make up for the unbreathed enemy in the process of clearing the battlefield, and there is no need to imagine that someone will have the luxury of using limited medical resources for the enemy. Not to mention the relatively low level of civilization in the New World, the Old World Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib also did not take the Geneva Conventions into account, such as humanitarianism, which is only remembered by chance when it is necessary to occupy the moral high ground.

The so-called world hegemony, the core indicator is that what I say is the last word, all the rules are set for others, others need to abide by the rules, I'm sorry, I'm always an exception. In a word, it makes sense if it doesn't make sense, if you don't accept it, just stand up, have you ever seen a big fist in a sand bowl?

Hearing the good news, it didn't take much time to think about it, Luo Zhengdao immediately said beautifully:

"Contact the Shahua Fishmen and hire them to salvage the sunken goblin warships, those sunken ships have all the materials, and we will send them this time."

It's true that the new world has a variety of mysterious magical powers, but the question is how can magic, which is high-end and high-end as soon as you hear it, be cheap and easy to obtain? A bottle of the lowest-grade underwater breathing potion, the market price is enough to buy the lives of five Shahua mercenaries, knowing this, why does Luo Zhengdao bother to put cheap labor and not use it, it must be the braincase into the water.

The entire goblin fleet was nearly thirty percent damaged in the battle on the Chuanshan Islands, and the ironclad ships of the goblin version, which was claimed to be indestructible, sank six in one go, and the total number of other warships lost was no less than three hundred. The bronze and iron cannons of these ships were conservatively estimated to weigh more than a million pounds, an astronomical amount of money enough to bankrupt a medium-sized country in a new world where metal was expensive. Look at Luo Zhengdao's acceptance of financial aid from Yaling and the elves, and then personally go into battle shirtless to rob homes and extort and share the spoils, tossing back and forth for so long, the total number of net worth is roughly equivalent to this, and the expected income from salvaging the sunken ship can naturally make him happy.

The goblin fleet, which had been brutally abused in the naval battle the day before yesterday, ran back to its home port to lick its wounds, and no matter how much the goblin empire had the ambition to crusade against heresy, it was estimated that it would be honest for a while before it was sure to break the air-sea integration tactics, so Luo Zhengdao had plenty of time to lay a solid foundation and straighten out internal relations by the way.

Not bad for money? Yes, Luo Zhengdao is definitely not short of small money, but he lacks big money! No matter how extravagant the daily expenses for personal life enjoyment are, they can't spend much money, and they make a detailed list of expenses for the army and climbing the science tree, and they make a detailed list of expenses as much as possible, so his top priority is to make money, and the more the better.

"Your Highness, you said you were selling ships? What boat to sell? ”

Summoned by Luo Zhengdao alone, Brando Scarlet Flame couldn't ignore this issue, he was the commander of the fleet, except for the merchant fleet that was included in the civilian fleet and was dispatched by the consul, the rest of the ships and ships were all under the jurisdiction of Scarlet Flame, the commander of the fleet, although not all ships could not give up, but this kind of taste of cutting his own flesh with a knife was not comfortable at all.

Luo Zhengdao could understand what weakening his own strength meant to Brando Scarlet, and immediately reassured him and said:

"It's not a sale of warships, it's clippers, and this time we want to supply clippers to our pirate allies, and the preferential conditions are the placement of 12-pounder guns at cost price."

"Your Highness, are you preparing?"

Borrowing from old-world technology, the Luo Zhengdao version of the clipper is fast, but the cabin space is limited, and the firepower is not strong, so it is relatively okay to use as a pirate ship, but with the sale of a 12-pounder long-barreled cannon made by Wake Reef Seiko, it is still enough to take out most of the non-professional warships, and it is even more a piece of cake to pack up the three-legged cat cargo of an armed merchant ship.

"Please send me the plundering population, human slaves are everywhere in the main continent, no matter how forbidden those green skins are to the sea, there are still many alien tribes on the land that do not obey their orders, the difficulty is how to transport people out safely, speed is the key."

After listening to Luo Zhengdao's explanation, Brando Scarlet Yan's doubts suddenly disappeared, and he patted his chest confidently and said:

"Well, please leave this task to me!"

Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao nodded with a smile and said:

"Send someone to inform Gaode that everyone is in the same boat, don't tear each other down, we are for the same goal, if the goblins stand firm, no one wants to have a good life."

"Yes, Your Highness, I'll do it."

In the spacious office of the former Goblin Governor's Palace, Luo Zhengdao stopped in front of the window and looked at the busy scene of the harbor in the distance, and said to himself:

“…… I don't believe it, in a few years the goblins can turn the main continent into an airtight iron bucket. Okay, even if you are an iron bucket, Lao Tzu can also drill out of the hole. ”

When he is alone, he puts down cruel words, of course, he is not lying to intimidate anyone, this time Luo Zhengdao's determination to black hands the goblin is very great, and he is always committed to pushing himself towards the ultimate goal.

In the old world, the core concept of building a sea power state was "our borders are on the enemy's coastline", and the forward position of the navy was on the beach of the enemy country. Although he doesn't know much about the theory of sea power in the old world, Luo Zhengdao still hopes that he can do it, no matter how long and tortuous the road to this goal is, and how much it costs to pay, always make sure that he is walking on a path that leads to the right goal, then a bloody sacrifice is meaningful, isn't it?

There are a thousand days of thieves in this world, there is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days, Luo Zhengdao is determined to spread the technology of flying clippers, and at the same time offer a high price to buy human refugees, and the main continent under the rule of the Second Goblin Empire immediately fell into a state of chaos.

In order to cope with the goblin's strategy of "moving the border and forbidding the sea", the pirate group with the sea of stars as the main activity area invented the tactic of mounted infantry, that is, taking advantage of the cover of night to land on those unguarded coasts, unloading mules and horses and other livestock, and raiding the concentration camps, towns and villages in the inland areas at full speed, leaving with the booty and liberated human slaves before the goblins could react.

The fifty-mile no-man's land demarcated along the coast of the main continent is a very long distance for a foot march, and it is impossible to walk out at night. Even if you can't carry a large number of livestock with you on a ship to plunder thousands of miles, it is not too difficult to get in touch with some land tribes in advance, and it is not too difficult to temporarily borrow or rent their war horses and other mounts. As a result, the Second Goblin Empire soon discovered that the originally demarcated fifty-mile isolation zone was not enough, and pirates landed and invaded on all sides day and night, and the foreign tribes in the interior often muddied the waters

"Damn hairless monkey, it's that Will Needham again."

The intelligence system of the Second Goblin Empire is not a decoration, and it took a little time to sort out who was behind the fanning of the flames, and this information really made the Goblin Emperor angry, and he scolded in the court and said:

"I've had enough, I've been defeated again and again, can you have any other news to tell me? Let Modo Blackwater be reinstated, no matter how incompetent it is, it will not be beaten so wolf by pirates, and it will not allow pirates to roam at our door, Todd Green Lake will be reappointed as the commander of the Dongning Town Guard, and you will draft an official document and submit it to the Senate for consideration. ”

Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers! Although the highly decorated goblin Marshal Todd Green Lake was clumsy in commanding the recent naval battle, considering that it was a temporary change of career, he had no practical experience at all, and he was not familiar with his subordinates, and it might cause unnecessary trouble to ask the marshal to carry this black cauldron, but he was one of the senior bosses of the goblin army, so it was not easy to mess with! Under the balance of left and right, the goblin emperor suppressed the fire and calmed the fire and calmed Todd Green Lake, who was responsible for the defeat, took over the Dongning town guard, relying on the fortress of the main continent and the support of the shore-based forts, the next time it fought badly, it couldn't hurt the bones of the empire, and the right to cover up the matter in the past, the most unacceptable thing for the goblins at the moment was the troublesome situation everywhere.

The biggest beneficiary of the defeat of the Goblin Fleet and the increase in pirate activity is undoubtedly the Goblin Commander, and this time the presence of a boss far above it was planted in the hands of Will Needham, which can prove that the cause of its previous failures in the past was the treacherous and cunning of the enemy, not the incompetence of Modo Blackwater.

Suddenly, receiving the news that he had been reactivated and the opportunity to meet the Goblin Emperor, Modo Blackwater prepared in surprise until he explained his future vision of taking charge of the Grand Fleet under the watchful eyes of the goblin bosses.

“…… We have no shortage of brave warriors or sophisticated equipment, but we will always lose tactically to pirates, and sailors are an unavoidable problem, and we need to train more naval officers. ”

The Goblin Emperor sat on the throne and listened quietly to the verbal report of the Goblin Commander, when he suddenly turned to the Chief of the Military Department and said:

"Modo said it very well, Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, didn't the War Department report that the hairless monkey regent had opened a military academy? We also need to learn this method, and we can't refuse to learn it just because it was created by the enemy. The Empire has suffered enough of the shame of defeat, and now the Empire needs victory, you know? ”

The commander-in-chief of the military department did not know that catching up with the advanced side was the only way for the backward to advance, so he got up and replied:

"Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor, we will immediately start preparing for the military academy."
