"Woo woo ......"

"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"

The shrill whistle characteristic of goblin rocket launches and the roar of guns of various calibers blend together, setting off the atmosphere of the battlefield even more terrifying, Brando Scarlet did not stay on the ironclad gold today, he fell in love with a captured and repaired goblin ironclad as the main flagship of the entire human fleet.

This type of ironclad ship with slower speed but higher defense is more suitable for the task of firing at the battery, and Luo Zhengdao's golden ship was arranged to participate in this battle in the second row, Commander Scarlet was very worried about the personal safety of the regent, earlier, everyone was playing with their lives, and there was no such condition to avoid risks, but now the situation is much better, and then to put the most important person under the enemy's fire, this risk is inevitably too great, and Brando feels that he can't afford it, Moreover, he also does not like to always be next to a big man who has the right to dictate when he is commanding the fleet.

"The ironclad detachment suppressed the fire, covered the mortar gunboats approaching the battery, and pulled out the shore-based artillery fire as much as possible."

Brando Scarlet gave the order, and the hedron communicator transmitted the news to the entire fleet of large and small ships, this valuable alchemy product was bought back on a cheap pirate fighter, compared to the manufacturing cost of an ironclad warship, it was not a big expense to spend this little extra money to complete the communication equipment.

Luo Zhengdao can also wrestle with the goblin navy in terms of command level, and difficult technical tasks such as sailing in the wind cannot be played, but his concept of naval warfare is advanced enough. Luo Zhengdao's consistent tenet is that you fight yours, I fight mine, and import naval battles into your own rhythm, no matter how powerful the enemy is, you have to kneel. Despite this, his operating methods are still a little clumsy compared to professionals like Brando Scarlet, who has learned from the experience of naval warfare in the old world and has enough practical experience himself, but it is difficult to say who will lose or who will win when the two sides pull out real swords and guns.

Luo Zhengdao, who has never been ashamed of his strategic turn, is usually the way to open the film and crush it all the way, it doesn't matter if you can't beat you for a while, let's say goodbye first, and then settle the old account when I find a chance.

Seeing that something bad was going to happen to his side, the general of the goblin defenders was also ruthless, and he gritted his teeth and shouted to his subordinates:

"Burn down all the warehouses for me......"

"Boom Rumble......

A 110-pound armor-piercing incendiary bomb of an ironclad ship that accidentally hit the shelter of the Goblin City Defense Command completely ended the goblin commander's painful struggle, and in the golden-red blazing light produced by the violent explosion, it only felt that its body was light, and a bright light appeared in front of it, and the surrounding area seemed to become quiet

"Move fast, you lazy bones!"

On the crowded beach trestle, cattle unloaded their cargo, and sturdy sailors carried wooden crates and barrels of various sizes on their backs, and the flow of people shuttled back and forth on the gangplanks leading to the battleship, carrying the fruits of victory into the cabins of their own warships.

Relying on the surprise attack and the powerful destructive power of the ironclad heavy artillery, the main resistance of the military port was quickly crushed, and the pirates were busy collecting loot after landing. Ports such as this, which are directly controlled by the goblin military, are a piece of fat, and military warehouses usually store considerable amounts of weapons, ammunition, and military supplies, especially controlled materials such as demonic cloth and imported stone pine powder, many of which are priceless in the market, and are full of temptation for the ever-expanding privateer fleet.

Listening to the preliminary list of reports, Luo Zhengdao turned around and looked at the hourglass, the nearest goblin garrison fleet should be almost there, although it doesn't take much effort to deal with this kind of miscellaneous fish, it will eventually disrupt the overall plan, and the hard work of only eating a few small fish is not the result he wants to see. So, Luo Zhengdao said to the correspondent in the command tower:

"Inform Commander Scarlet that the operation to collect loot will end in half an hourglass, and all the materials that cannot be taken away will be burned."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Encirclement and reinforcement is a good way to try and match tactically, as long as you don't encounter the kind of strange army that is difficult and immobile like a mountain, the opponent knows that there is danger. The enemy army that had come from afar to come to the aid was suddenly ambushed before reaching the intended battlefield, and was unprepared both materially and spiritually, and even a famous general in a hundred battles was rarely seen without suffering. Today, Luo Zhengdao is preparing to eat two fish and two fish, squeeze out the surplus value of this military port, if he only annihilates a goblin garrison fleet with little oil and water, and sets up such a big battle in vain, it is really a knife to kill chickens.

Striving to unite the majority and severely crack down on a handful of people is an immortal basic principle in politics, and any second goods that push the majority of people into opposition to themselves will not end very well. Most of the people mentioned here are not civilians who have no fists and no courage, but people who have certain social resources in their hands.

Before the outbreak of World War II in the Old World, and even for many years afterward, most countries had preset voting qualifications, the most typical being the Bald Eagle family. Caucasians, preferably of Anglo-Saxon descent, colored people die, mestizos are also lowly, of course, the especially rich can be an exception. The so-called propertied person does not mean that you carry dozens of dollars in your pocket, but at least you have to be a decent person with a manor or a factory. Men, yes, women don't have the right to vote, so the first thing feminists came out to fight for was the right to vote, and those who were not qualified wanted to protest against unfairness? Phew, you also deserve the surname Zhao?

All right! How can something with so many preconditions attached to it be called democracy? Yes, whether you believe it or not, people believe it anyway, who let the woolly bear die!

Wolves walk thousands of miles to eat meat, and dogs travel thousands of miles to eat. This trick is common in every world, and the key lies in how to unite these propertied and powerful people. We have to let them share the fruits of victory, in other words, Luo Zhengdao organized a group to go out to grab goblins, everyone has the money to contribute and make a strong contribution, and they will share the benefits with others when they turn back. Therefore, he sacrificed two magic weapons to win over these neutral third-party forces, and the specific means were the issuance of public bonds and joint-stock companies. The matter of the Xingchen Sea privateering company has been settled, and the new thing of public bonds has become the most important, and it is obvious that not everyone has this kind of psychological preparation for losing money when participating in the joint-stock company, and it is relatively safe to buy public bonds.

Luo Zhengdao used the taxes from Wake Reef and the personal assets in his name as collateral, hired the Yaling Empire as a guarantor, and made all the preparations, and the new gadget of public debt appeared on the stage.

The first tranche of the Renaissance Bonds was issued with a quota of 1,000,000 Gold Plantagenets, each with a par amount of 100 Gold Agenets, all bearer bonds, with a settlement period of three years and an interest rate of 10% per annum, with principal and interest repaid at maturity. The reason why the amount of public bonds issued is so small is, first of all, considering that the internal purchasing power is limited, most of the hundreds of thousands of civilians in Wake Reef are from displaced people, and they have not accumulated much savings after just two years of stable life, and there are many rich parliamentarians.

Raising funds openly -- strengthening armaments -- going out to war and looting -- returning to sit on the ground and sharing the spoils -- increasing credit capital -- raising more funds -- strengthening armaments and combat capability......

Undoubtedly, once such a positive economic cycle of war is formed, the snowballing effect can be said to be extremely destructive, unless there is no more opportunity for external expansion and plunder, otherwise the enemy in front of it will be crushed by the power of financial capital.

Throughout the history of the Old World, John Bull relied on this system of public debt collection to increase his military power until he sent the short emperor, who had only fought two major defeats in his life, to the island of St. Helena in the South Atlantic to retire.

Weapons and ammunition are fed by people eating horses and training losses, soldiers are rewarded for surviving, and military families are compensated for the death of war, which one does not need money? War is never something that the poor can play, it is a game of the Monopoly who has the capital to burn money, and whoever can afford the most money can persist in the war and have the last laugh, which is a universal truth.

Luo Zhengdao, who was well-fed and drunk, opened his position and waited for the net, what would the goblin be doing? The Second Goblin Empire, which has been unfavorable for many years, has been hit by pirates, and many ports on the eastern coast of the main continent have been attacked by pirates, a large number of materials have been plundered, countless ships have been burned and looted, and almost all port buildings have been razed to the ground, and the eastern coastline has become a hard-hit area for piracy. At this time, the goblins suddenly realized that the Plantagenet Treasure Trend was not an accident, but the result of someone's behind-the-scenes planning, and the goblin army that rushed to reinforce the eastern region could only watch the pirates sail away.

Mistakenly believing that Will Needham was just here to take advantage of the fire to make a profit, the Second Goblin Empire, which had long since run away, sent a task force to the eastern seas, a small number of elite troops with a large number of miscellaneous troops of the garrison fleet, they rushed to the lost port not to regain the lost territory, but to clean up the mess.

"Your Highness, have you discovered the goblin fleet?"

Brando Scarlet's voice came from the spar communicator, and Luo Zhengdao asked with interest:

"Is it the Grand Fleet?"

"Definitely not, the number of battleships is too small, and I haven't seen a single ironclad."

Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao was a little disappointed and said:

"Alright! You are in charge, and I will not interfere. ”

"Uh, really?"

"Of course it's true, I've entrusted it all to you, don't let me down."

"No, Your Highness."

Luo Zhengdao, who was laughing heartily, really couldn't think of the need for him to make a move, what would be the difficulty of repairing the wooden sail warship with the privateer fleet with ironclad ships as the core? If this kind of downwind battle like this kind of abuse is not good again, then he really has to seriously consider whether it is time to change to a more suitable fleet commander.
