Chapter 163: A Whimsical Solution

"Soldiers! The Empire has prepared the best banquet for you......"

It's the red-faced officer who is preaching that everyone will get everything, and by the way, the soldiers are coaxed to the side of the cook, and a large number of canned Spam and barbecued seafood are waiting for everyone. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"I'm sorry, Joe, the medical officer has announced that you have no way to continue fighting, the Empire thanks you for all these years of service, you will be discharged from the army when you return home, the detailed salary and reward issues will be resolved later, may the Empress bless you."

This is a regrettable officer who announced that the soldier could not continue to fight, of course, if the soldier is really disabled, he will indeed retire, but even if he falls or accidentally breaks his teeth, he must retire, which is really unscrupulous.

"I said everyone, after fighting for so long, do you still want to go home and farm and live a stable life, why don't you continue?"

"But the New World is occupied by us, where else is there to fight?"

"Tut-tut, young man, this is an era of war, there is no place to fight in the New World, and there can be war elsewhere! It's cool to continue fighting as a mercenary to reap the spoils, and there is no need to worry about the commander, there is Admiral Lorraine! ”

That's how the entire Breton Army was constantly propagandized, with the full cooperation of the intelligence services and propaganda units, and by the way, with the acquiescence of the Empress, the army - divided!

This is not true, but it is divided into three, the loyal continue to serve the country, the ordinary and wounded go home to farm with the compensation money, and the unruly follow Lorraine to prepare for the overseas expedition.

“…… Although the New World is already the property of Brittany, you know that the external environment and the economic situation of the country are also known, and we must seize the opportunity to get through it. ”

"At present, all kinds of economic industries related to people's livelihood are showing signs of collapse, and heavy industry is facing a serious surplus because of the end of the war, but there is no possibility of export at all in the old continent, so we have only one goal."

Josephine slapped the map hard, and the whip pointed to the prosperous land beyond the sea frontier - the same that Yuri, an inexplicable traitor, once said, the great Silk Continent.

"Judging from all indications, the Songyue Empire of the Silk Continent is also in turmoil, their opponent is the barbarian cavalry from the wilderness, and the Donglings, who are obviously not opponents, are looking for mercenaries everywhere, we can go there to liberate the surplus soldiers."

"And more importantly, if we can help the Songyue Empire restore national stability, we can support a regime in the East that is friendly to us, and the benefits brought by this are not only comparable to Oriental specialties."

Josephine's words made the top echelons of the empire ponder not the difficulties but how to get the most out of them.

For a long time, the characteristic silks and spices of the Orient have been sold all over the world, in addition to a large number of high-value porcelain, culture, talents, etc., which are desired by countries all over the world.

However, the Orientals were not at all strong in exploring and thirsting for the sea, and the farthest caravans had only reached the continent of Mazkadan, and only a few shipwrecked and exiles would appear in the New World.

Now that Brittania has some military overpower, it is just time to transfer the contradictions abroad, and without the riots of the soldiers, even if the people want to resist, they must ask Her Majesty whether the troops under her control will agree.

Lorraine also thought of this, but the regime of a large empire is not so easy to influence, and it may be good to change to a smaller target, such as the country of the long and narrow islands, Dongying.

"Okay guys, I won't say more nonsense, this time he led the mercenary group overseas, and he was still the commander we are familiar with, Admiral Lorraine Taylor, and at the same time I gave him full authority to handle the foreign affairs of Brittana, do you have anything to say?"

"No, no, Her Majesty's choice is too suitable."

"Yes, yes, only an important person like Admiral Lorraine can highlight the sincerity of our country."

Of course, no one would want to stand up and provoke, I didn't see Lorraine and Josephine sleeping in the same bed for so many days, if there is nothing else, it must be the future prince, maybe it will become a ......

"But Your Majesty, our fleet is a little damaged, and it seems that there is no way to transport so many troops with the existing ships, right?"

"It's nice to see that." Josephine's attentiveness satisfied his subordinates, "Didn't we capture a lot of Scarpa's undead?" They will be the main naval force of the mercenary group this time, and I have chosen a very suitable officer......"

Josephine pointed to someone in the corner in a daze, and everyone knew when they looked over - it turned out to be Alexander, the perverted major general.

Because of his meritorious service in leading the troops, he officially became a major general of the army in Brittania after this attack on Scarpa, with the position of senior military adviser, that is, a general with no real power.

However, this general who didn't care about this was sad, and it was sad that he hadn't found Miss Charlotte, so Josephine made up a fake news in order to keep him in service and take the undead out of the country.

"Your Majesty...... Did Miss Charlotte really go to the East? Completely unaware of Josephine's introduction, Alexander looked up in confusion and asked, which made the Empress feel very unhappy, but nodded anyway.

"That's right, as long as you go to the East, you will have a chance to find Charlotte, and honestly, I still wish you could be together." Saying that he didn't believe it, behind his back was actually Vivien's largest album collector, if the two were really together, maybe ......

Seeing that the two of them were in a daze, Lorraine had to cough a few times to remind the empress and the major general that this was still a high-level meeting, don't think about it over there!!

“…… Anyway, it's decided, so let's start preparing, and I look forward to your results. ”

"Yes!"

It is this ghostly high-level meeting that has decided the instability of Brittany, and it will be taken to the East by Lorraine, the guy who was once again taken out of the top tank, to assist the Songyue Empire, although the two sides have not established diplomatic relations until now!

In the end, the number of mercenaries involved in Lorraine was not as large as expected, a total of about 9,000 troops, and fifty warships and transports that had withdrawn from active service in the navy.

Equipment and whatsoever are naturally the stocks after the end of the state of war, and these have no more economic value (no buyers) will be pulled abroad by Lorraine to sell, and his biggest reliance is not this.

Rather, it is a floating integrated warship under construction and is mounted on an experimental large positioning teleporter: the USS Lexington.

"Why is the float ship for me called that?"

"Because this is set specifically for your abilities, and it's the captain...... It's Vivien. ”

"Okay...... Thank you, Josephine. ”

"You're welcome, if you're feeling uneasy, let's have some fun games!"

Next is the PLAY game that belongs to the empress and the general, the long river of time keeps passing, and the time for cultivation belonging to the Brittan Empire has arrived, but Lorraine still needs to go to the East with the unstable factors.

There are many more encounters and dangers that await the Bretanians.
