After listening to Kent Tanka's words, Constans II was also touched in his heart, and at this moment he also felt that it was not very necessary to retain such a powerful navy, and there was indeed no major naval battle over the years, and last year the big cannibals came to attack once, and they were basically wiped out, so they didn't dare to attack from the sea again.

Kent Tanka said: "Yes, Your Majesty, the navy is too expensive, and the money to build a warship can improve the equipment of many army soldiers. Now we are in a state of non-aggression with the Franks, the Persians have been beaten away by the cannibals, and now they no longer border us, and they have not come to harass us for a long time.

Now that only the big cannibals are left, and their attacks are basically on land, wouldn't it be better for us to save some money and equip our army? ”

Constans II nodded, held the back of Kent Tanka's hand and patted it gently, and praised: "Although you are a woman, you know a lot of things!" ”

Kent Tanka said: "Originally, military affairs were your men's affairs, and when I was young, my father did not shy away from me when he talked about things, so I also knew a little bit of my shallow knowledge, and in front of Your Majesty, it was like a star showing off its light in front of the sun, making you laugh." ”

Constans II was very pleased with Kent Tanka's compliment, and he laughed: "You can talk with your sweet mouth."

Kent Tanka complimented her husband and returned to the original topic, she said: "Since the navy can be reduced, that old fellow Stefan is not so important, and he should be replaced by a way." ”

Constans II said: "After all, Stefan is an auxiliary minister, and he has many supporters in the court, it is not easy to deal with him, and it is still necessary to maintain the strength of the navy, if he is replaced, there is really no one to replace him for a while." ”

Kent Tanka said: "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about this, I have long seen that Stefan is arrogant and domineering, and many people are dissatisfied with him, if you agree, I can do the work of those people for you." ”

Kent Tanka was very intelligent, and when she became queen, she managed the affairs of the palace in an orderly manner, and Constans II admired her very much, and he believed in the queen's abilities.

Constans II nodded, and he said, "You can try to contact the people concerned first, and keep me informed of the progress of the matter." ”

Seeing that Constans II agreed with him, Kent Tanka was very happy, kissed him on the cheek, and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust."

Constans II kissed the empress on the smooth forehead, and said thoughtfully: "If Stefan is replaced, there is really no suitable candidate for the commander of the navy."

Kent Tanka said: "Your Majesty, I have two candidates. ”

Constans II said, "Tell me about it."

Kent Tanka said: "One is my father, and you know that my father is good at fighting and is familiar with the affairs of the navy. ”

Constans II knew that Kent Tanka's father was a suitable candidate, but after all, he was once the king of Egypt, and Constans II did not want him to take control of the army, he shook his head and said: "Your father is indeed a suitable candidate, but he is old and in poor health, so let him live in his old age!" ”

Kent Tanka is very ambitious, the Byzantine Empire includes more than a dozen conquered countries such as Greece and Egypt, as an Egyptian, although she became a queen, but she does not have her own roots in Constantinople, she wants to arrange some close people by her side.

She was very shrewd, she knew that Constans II would not agree to her father, she deliberately mentioned her own father first, and then proposed the candidate she really wanted to install, Constans II rejected one of her requests, and was not so embarrassed to refute the second.

Kent Tanka said: "Your Majesty, I would like to recommend another person for you to choose the Marquis of Huni, this person is young and promising, a very young general. ”

The person Kent Taka wants to install is the lover she has been a childhood sweetheart since she was a child, she knows him very well, knows that he will sacrifice everything for himself, and with such a loyal fan by his side, he will definitely be his right-hand man in the future.

Constans II had no impression of the man she was talking about, and he said, "I'm afraid it won't work." After all, the navy is one of the most important forces in the empire, and it must be commanded by a person of high moral character, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public, and the person you are talking about may be difficult to compete. ”

Thangka said: "Your Majesty, you are thinking about it very right, I didn't say that he should directly replace Grand Duke Stefan, I mean you can arrange this person to be next to Grand Duke Stefan, on the one hand, to learn from him, to be familiar with the situation of the navy, and on the other hand, to monitor Grand Duke Stefan, wouldn't this kill two birds with one stone?" ”

Constans II was still somewhat hesitant.

Kent Tanka stretched out his arm and put his arms around the neck of Constans II, her body writhed in his arms, and her long round and slender legs rubbed gently on him, and she said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, can't you trust me?" ”

Constans II could not resist her hot temptation, he picked up the crook of her leg, stood up, and said helplessly as he went: "Okay then! Bring him to me. ”

The conversation between Constans II and Empress Kent Tanka would have been a delight if Li You heard it.

The Roman navy was huge, although the performance of their warships was not as advanced as the warships of the Tang Navy, but the huge number also gave Li You a headache, especially the Greek fires they had, which could still pose a great threat to the warships of the Tang Army.

The equipment of the Tang warship is enough to resist the fire of the bow and crossbow, and even the opponent's stone thrower, Li You also came up with a way to deal with it, and set up a lot of strong fishing nets above the battleship, when the opponent's stone thrower hits the stone projectile, it can slow down the impact of the stone bullet, and the soldiers under the fishing net have time to dodge.

However, if the other side attacks with Greek fire, the battleships of the Don Army are also wooden structures after all, which is a big trouble.

After all, the Roman navy has a history of hundreds of years, they have mature combat experience, are well-trained, and have strong combat effectiveness.

For the current naval commander Grand Duke Stefan, Li You also got some relevant information from Ma Yinuo and Wang Xuance, Li You believed that if he could get rid of Grand Duke Stefan, he could temporarily paralyze the upper echelons of the Roman navy and help break the Roman navy.

The so-called heroes see the same thing, and for whatever reason, Li You temporarily has the same goal as the couple of Constans II, and he also has the idea of Archduke Stefan.
