Chapter 132: The Role of the Imperial Navy

Soon after, the situation in the country of Marbury gradually calmed down.

About two companies of navies from the islands of Hormuz and Happiness also landed one after another...... You can't blame them for coming late and late, in fact, they came in a team as soon as they were notified.

Everyone in the Imperial Navy knows an unspoken rule that is not open to the public, to protect the rights and interests of overseas imperial citizens, which is equivalent to winning a battle!

The two islands led the team with two naval captains, and everyone knew who was in command by looking at their ranks, and there was no need to wait for orders from their superiors.

Major Du convened officers above the rank of lieutenant and held a collective meeting to clarify the core content of the military operation.

First, they need to ensure the safety of the lives and property of overseas citizens in the new business district and other parts of the Tianzhu mainland.

Second, it is important to demand punitive compensation for the losses of its citizens abroad from the country or princely state that waged the war.

The third point is to further develop the relationship with King Marbury for future cooperation.

The location of Port Marbury is currently the most important commercial port on the west coast of Tianzhu, and it is an indispensable commercial port for the Federal Empire.

The Imperial Navy is not raised for nothing, they are the force that wants to maintain the security of the entire golden sea lane.

If the entire route were to be compared to a trouser belt, Port Marbury is a trouser head made of gold, and it is studded with priceless gemstones......

Major Du said at the meeting: "After the meeting, I will report the entire meeting minutes to my superiors again...... Is there anything else you'd like to add? ”

Captain Huang Ge from Happiness Island said: "Salute first and then soldier? Why bother? It will be enough for us to form three companies to destroy their country......"

The captain from the island of Hormuz immediately understood what he meant, and when the military department received the report, it was likely that they would immediately give instructions, and it was not clear whether they would be put in place and wait for the Marines or the Imperial Army to arrive...... After all, they are a patchwork team.

Sailors and logisticians make up almost half of their ranks.

The captain from the island of Hormuz was a straightforward man, and he said: "Maybe there is no need to expand the scale, or else, pick the most powerful country and let the army of King Mabri be our auxiliaries...... Go straight to their palace, I can vouch for it with my rank, and I will definitely not make a mistake. ”

Major Du took a sip of coffee and thought to himself, they are really not his subordinates, and they don't understand what I mean.

In the order of the Imperial Navy, we have always been an attack force...... But why should we attack? Who are you going to attack?

The first two:

The first is to maintain the safety of our sea lanes, that is, trade routes, and to be absolutely safe!

The second is to protect the rights and interests of our overseas citizens, which is almost not at all!

Therefore, we must inform the other party of the damage caused by the overseas businessman and order the other party to pay compensation...... Then it depends.

If the war starts rashly, will there be a suspicion of revenge for the Marbury country?!

Even if we have a corresponding statement, but if we come up and start a war, will it make others think so?!

From the time the report is sent back here, to the time the order is received, it will take at least a month and a half even for a flying scissor clipper...... A lot will happen in the meantime.

He has just said very clearly, why did he type a second report? It's not a hint to them, as long as they come here, a military merit can't run away...... Don't let your superiors think you're too enthusiastic about your rank and position!

There is a rumor in the navy...... Admiral Minister Guo Beyu is a thoughtful person.

However, Captain Huang Ge was a young man, and his face was full of expressions of war, which could not be concealed.

Maybe it's because I'm getting old and thinking too much.

Major Du's greatest wish was to be promoted to colonel before retiring, not to mention the amazing retirement money at that time, I heard that there was a chance to become a mayor.

He didn't like business by nature, and he didn't like to start a factory or a farm, but he also craved money and power...... But be steady, young man.

After Major Du finished drinking coffee, he lightly said about the situation around Marbury Country, which was the first-hand information given to him by Qian Song, which was absolutely true and reliable.

Captain Huang Ge was a little confused after hearing this, how come the countries here are all one ring after another, so complicated? !

Major Du said: "They are the ones who started the war...... Even dogs can do waging war and shouting about war, but how to end the war and how to get what they want requires wisdom.

What will we do when we destroy their kingdom?

Be a king yourself or choose someone to be a king?

If you could be king yourself...... When the Minister of the Navy captured Kamakura, he could have been in office a long time ago; If we choose people, who do we choose?

Choosing one person randomly is adding chaos to yourself and the entire Imperial Navy. ”

These words made Captain Huang Ge and the others speechless, people didn't use their military rank to pressure you, they were all reasonable.

Everyone understood the requirements of the plenary meeting and expressed their support.

Major Du smiled slightly in his heart, and a great military feat was beckoning to him.

The naval base in Lion City, in the island of Shilan, has little future, the hinterland is too shallow, there is not much production, and the geographical location overlaps with Port Marbury...... Of course, others must not let it be occupied.

But Tianzhu Continent, Tianzhu Continent......

Major Du didn't think about it anymore, what he needed more now was hard work.

Some people are good at creating opportunities, and some people are good at spotting opportunities...... But one way or another, the most successful people are those who will take advantage of the opportunity.

General Manager Hu Zhennan came to Major Du with his eyebrows fluttering, and he also knew who was here to say the right thing.

He said: "Tianzhu is a big piece of fat, with a large population and fertile land...... If you can learn our farming methods, you can raise countless people!

There is a lot of gold, silver, ivory, and spices here!

The labor here is the best labor in the world, better than the Japanese labor, the key is not afraid of the heat, more than the dog...... There are countless such people!

The women here are darker, but I have seen them with my own eyes, and the women of the north are fair-skinned and beautiful, gentle and lovely...... There are countless such women! ”

Major Du had been smiling and listening, and he added in his heart that the strategic location here was extremely important.

General Manager Hu Zhennan said: "I persuaded the king of the soil to take the initiative to cut a piece of land in the port and hand it over to the imperial navy...... Oh, don't pay for it, but also take the initiative to provide living supplies......"

Major Du saw that his eyes were flashing, and guessed that he might have done something from it, so he said, "Brother Hu, don't want to harm me...... Where could the empire allow a small officer to accept a gift from another country? Even if I was given a mountain of gold, I wouldn't dare to accept it. ”

There is no advantage, you are ......

General Manager Hu Zhennan immediately changed his attitude and said: "Please, Major Du, if the navy does not have a base here, where can the citizens of our empire feel at ease when doing business?"

Where to pay taxes for the Empire?! ”

Well, this guy got to the point.

Major Du also became serious and said, "Citizens of the Empire who are doing business overseas, please rest assured, I, Du Ren, will also ensure the safety of your lives and property!" ”
