In the Reims Empire, everyone in the court was talking, no different from the vegetable markets, and Wilhelm II watched these important ministers arguing below with some tiredness, without the slightest intention of stopping!

"Your Majesty, the military department thinks that we can't bear it anymore, the Morgan Empire and Yaslan are determined to fight us to the end this time, and please make up your mind as soon as possible!" Several military veterans looked extremely anxious, the war had arrived at their doorstep!

"How's the negotiation with the arms company?" Wilhelm II asked!

"Your Majesty, the two arms companies are not willing to cooperate with us, our capital ships have suffered heavy losses in the war, even if the construction has been accelerated, but it will take time!" After listening to the ministers' reports, Wilhelm II frowned, a little helpless!

"Your Majesty don't worry, let's find the largest arms company to cooperate!" An old minister reminded Wilhelm II that it was not yet the point of exhaustion!

"You mean Smith's Rayming? Recently, he has been suppressed by competitors, is he still free to cooperate with us? "Wilhelm II is a little unanswered!

"Your Majesty, please take a look!" The old minister presented a booklet!

Wilhelm II quickly flipped through it, and was overjoyed after reading it: "Contact Lei Ming's company as soon as possible, I want to talk to them?" ”

Perhaps it is the reason that it has been peaceful for too long, the world is unconsciously full of gunpowder again, almost all countries are pulling allies for themselves, and there are more and more local conflicts. After all, now is the time to pull allies and engage in diplomacy, and no country wants to go to war without being fully prepared for it, but the clarion call for war has been sounded, and all countries are engaged in an arms race to deal with potential enemies!

The war between the Pirate Alliance and the Blue Moon Empire continues, but both sides have converged a lot and are trying their best to avoid the decisive battle of the main force of the fleet, but they have to constantly harass each other, today you sneak attack one of my strongholds, tomorrow I will attack your patrol fleet, but both sides are brewing forces that can defeat each other in one fell swoop, and they dare not make a rash move!

For more than a month, Smith was nervously following Tirpitz's progress, and like the Liberty, due to modular production, the progress was much faster, the bottom of the hull project was basically completed, and the armor of the battleship had not yet been installed, because Tirpitz used the design concept of comprehensive protection, the dome armor to protect the core device needed to be installed as soon as possible, and the boiler and engine could not be installed after the dome armor was installed, so Smith had to let the battleship go into the water first and start splicing the armor belt!

After Zhang Lin led the caravan back to the Storm Strait, Zhang Lin was a little dumbfounded by the income of a business, but this time he actually earned more than one million gold coins, not counting the goods he bought, if these goods are sold again, then the income will be higher, and there are more and more merchant ships from outside the Storm Strait, and after the war with the pirate alliance, the strength of the Storm Strait has been recognized by the forces in the surrounding seas, plus the Storm Strait in the mouth of the merchants is a fair and free place, and there are more people who come here, a place that respects human rights, In this chaotic world, it is rare to find people to settle here, and this just complements the lack of people in the Storm Strait, Zhang Lin is still happy to see this situation after he comes back!

As soon as Zhang Lin sat in the office, the Intelligence Department put a stack of information on the desk, and Zhang Lin carefully examined them one after another. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The vast majority of the intelligence is related to what has happened in various countries recently, Zhang Lin found that the recent world situation is full of gunpowder, after the last world war, there are victorious countries, naturally there are losing countries, some countries are not willing to fail, naturally it is like revenge, and the victorious countries do not want their interests to be destroyed and are also vigorously expanding armaments" It seems that the world situation is very tense, just the fuse of war! Zhang Lin said to himself, this situation made Zhang Lin sound the Sarajevo incident!

However, Zhang Lin understands that it will take some time before the outbreak of a world war, after all, all countries are expanding their armaments, and no one wants a war to break out at this juncture.

Zhang Lin then continued to look through the information, and there was a piece of information that made Zhang Lin's brows tighten, and the information was written like this: "The Third Fleet and the Fifth Fleet of the Reims Empire were jointly defeated by the Morgan Empire and the Aslan Empire, and their military strength was greatly damaged. Just a few words made Zhang Lin fall into thought, Wilhelm II is kind to Zhang Lin, and he is Zhang Lin's father-in-law, no matter what, Zhang Lin is indeed in love with Avril, a little girl, although because of Tang Xue, he did not have an intimate relationship with Avril, but Zhang Lin and Avril's marriage has already become, if the Reims Empire is defeated, the consequence may be the destruction of the country, and Avril will lose her loved ones, Zhang Lin can think of how cruel this result is to Avril, and Zhang Lin served in the Reims Imperial Navy, There are some feelings, Zhang Lin really doesn't want to hide this kind of thing from Avril!

After reading this, Zhang Lin picked up the phone and got through: "Wei'er, come over here, I have something to tell you!" ”

Zhang Lin hung up the phone and fell into deep thought, this kind of news is a bit cruel to Avril, but now everything is still too late!

Avril didn't knock on the door, she directly pushed open the door of Zhang Lin's office and walked in, indeed her relationship with Zhang Lin doesn't need to be so polite!

"What's the matter, so anxious to find people!" As soon as she came in, Avril complained to Zhang Lin that there were still a lot of documents to deal with over there, how could she have so much free time!

Zhang Lin didn't know how to talk to Avril, picked up the information on the table, and handed it to Avril!

Avril turned out to be informed, and asked, "What is this?" Looking down, as Avril continued to look, the delicate little face became more and more ugly: "Zhang Lin, what should I do?" Avril didn't pay attention after reading it, after all, she was just a girl, and it was hard to accept this kind of thing for a while!

"Don't worry, I'm still here, I'll let the other side pay more attention to the situation, I will support if necessary, I won't tolerate this kind of thing!" Zhang Lin understood Avril's worries and comforted her not to be afraid!

"Zhang Lin, let's go back! I've been homesick for so long! Avril's eyes were slightly red, it had been a year since she left the Reims Empire, and she hadn't been away for so long!

"Don't worry, it's useless to go back now, when the Freedom comes back, we organize the fleet to go back, at least we can help my father!"

"Hmm!" Avril nodded heavily and snuggled in Zhang Lin's arms, and Zhang Lin hugged the girl in her arms tightly!
