Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Grand Fleet Project Begins

Fresh water is a very valuable resource on Mars, and every human settlement has a complete water purification system that recycles limited water.

Although it may be a little disgusting to think about, this is what humans have to face once they enter the universe.

Wang Yi'er knew that the piece of paper with the characteristics she had washed away would be obtained by the person who deserved it in the purification system, and then the information she left on it could be transmitted.

"I have a very special assignment here, which I think has a lot of follow-up value, and I hope to get more support and further improve my resume.

Please focus your investigation on the Scarab Company. Clues: Kirk, vegetable farmer, individual very powerful creature ......"

……

When the Starlink Scarab Company was about to send the advance task force to the Order Star and officially entered the training stage. On the Star of Order, the news that the Frominque Empire was going to build a naval grand fleet was officially announced, and it caused quite a stir in the whole world.

The Flominque Empire was traditionally a landlocked power, and even though it occupied Marcellus for 200 years and connected the country to the sea, it was still a landlocked country in the eyes of other countries.

Because the Frominque Empire did not have a strong enough navy, the only fleet attached to the Blue Corps only had a few dozen small warships. It's more than enough to crack down on the smuggling of unscrupulous businessmen, but want to compete with other maritime powers for maritime interests? The total tonnage of this small fleet of the Blue Corps combined is not comparable to a capital battleship.

Therefore, this time the Frominck Empire is determined to build a large fleet of the Imperial Navy, and some people are really happy and some are worried.

Especially the eastern countries of the Order Continent, none of them wanted to release the Flominck Empire from the interior. They united to protest against the Empire, even sending their respective fleets off the coast of Marcellus, and even militant naval officers threatened to sink a new ship in the Frominque Imperial Navy.

The violent reaction of the eastern states also caused voices to be heard within the empire against the construction of the Grand Fleet.

"The Empire simply does not have the capacity to build a large fleet of navies now, we do not have our own shipyards, we do not have our own warship designs, we do not have qualified naval officers and sailors.

Let the army train in the lake and then go to open the battleships at sea, this is to let them go to death, this is really throwing the wealth of the empire into the sea.

See the powerful navies of the eastern countries?

Even if we had a large fleet, Marcellus did not have a large arsenal where the barrels, shells, and all the supplies needed for the war would need to be shipped from the empire itself. A Death Desert leaves us with no way to provide sufficient logistical support to the Grand Fleet in the event of a war...... How to fight? ”

The opposition made the Emperor hesitate again.

The cost of building this grand fleet is really saved from the top and bottom of the empire, and if it doesn't play its due role, then what's the use of building it?

The centrifugation of Marcellus allowed the Frominque Empire to limit the development of the military industry in this province, which had only a few light arsenals. All heavy weapons and ammunition for the Grand Fleet of the Imperial Navy must be provided by the Imperial mainland. These heavy guys are not the same equipment used by the army, they cannot be carried through the desert by man, and the navy relies more on the Tossan railway than the army, and this railway is so fragile.

Will the Imperial Navy's Grand Fleet survive in the event of war?

In order to dispel the emperor's concerns, in order to promote the smooth start of the construction of the imperial naval fleet, the Marquis of Whitehead also deliberately returned to the imperial capital to meet the emperor in secret.

No one knew what the Marquis had said to the Emperor, but when the Marquis of Whitehead returned to the city of Saroyan, the Emperor sent an order to the Imperial Navy Command to begin the construction of the Imperial Navy's Grand Fleet.

"Father, it seems that the batch of ancient alchemy equipment that Sir Charles found in the Desert of Death is very timely......"

Miss Anne, who has taken office, welcomes the Marquis's return in the new uniform of the Imperial Navy, and the ancient alchemy equipment brought from the Death Desert has been tested and proved to have a very powerful exorcism effect on undead creatures. Miss Anne believes that her father used these ancient alchemy devices to convince the Emperor.

With these equipment, the empire was able to set up supply points along the Tocsan Railway, which could be quickly repaired and kept in good times during war.

And these alchemical devices can increase the emperor's trust in the marquis, and Anne is happy for her contribution to the family.

After the Marquis of Whitehead waited for Anne to follow him into the study, he immediately closed the door, and then said in a very serious tone: "You are not allowed to tell anyone about the existence and function of that batch of alchemy equipment...... Did Sir Charles know what the alchemy equipment did? ”

Anne didn't know why her father said this, but she replied, "Sir Charles didn't know the purpose of these alchemical equipment, and there were no research tools or environment in that ancient ruin, and when he found them, he informed me that he had sent an airship to transport them." ”

The Marquis of Whitehead nodded: "Then I don't need to kill him." Annie, I didn't tell Your Majesty about the ancient alchemy equipment, and the Empire doesn't need to set up a supply point in the Death Desert for the time being. ”

When Anne heard the Marquis's words, she suddenly had a bad premonition, and she asked, "Why don't you tell Your Majesty?" With this batch of alchemy equipment, the empire can better control Marcellus, you will not be suspicious by His Majesty, and you will have more ways and time to make Marcellus truly a part of the empire. ”

The Marquis of Whitehead said, "There are some things that you don't understand now...... I don't know what kind of changes these ancient alchemy devices will cause when they are exposed, but any change that occurs while I can still control the situation is out of control.

I don't like things getting out of my control, because I don't know where the threat is coming from or when it's going to show up.

Annie, that batch of ancient alchemy equipment is ...... for the current empire Not a necessity.

The war is far from being on the verge of breaking out, and we don't need to change anything if the carrying capacity of the Tocsan Railway is sufficient. ”

Although what the Marquis said was very reasonable, Anne, who knew her father very well, knew that he had not finished what was on her mind. It's just that this situation is no longer suitable for further questioning, because she can't get a real answer.

Anne pretended to understand and asked, "Father, since you have made this decision, then you must have your own plan, and the current Tosan Railway really does not need to be strengthened."

But how did you convince Your Majesty to agree to continue building the Grand Fleet of the Navy? He must be very worried about the fragile railway, right? ”

"I convinced Your Majesty...... Build a heavy arsenal in Saroyan! ”
