Chapter Ninety-Six: Prepare for War

The heart of the Flominck Empire swallowing Massileus is immortal; Marcellus also feared that under the absolute monarchy, the land would be divided among the imperial nobility; The eastern states were even more reluctant to see Frominck gain a foothold in the eastern part of the continent and then expand by force.

Originally, the parties formed a balance in Marcellus, maintaining the peace that was demonstrated, but the arrival of the Great Bright broke this balance. The Floiminque Empire's power in Marcellus was rapidly growing, and Parliament was losing its ground. Now the empire is about to form a large naval fleet, and is about to have a very powerful warship, and the maritime superiority of the eastern countries is also being challenged.

Speaker Peters' analysis is not unfounded. In the past, when the war was called, the parties were louder than the voices; No one is openly talking about war now, but the war is really approaching.

Da Liang's gaze finally took his eyes off the drawings, he knew what Peters meant, and he could smell the smell of gunpowder in the air of Marcellus.

"Your Excellency...... Do you think Marcellus' current state can finally be resolved peacefully? ”

In response to Da Liang's question, Speaker Peters shook his head: "No...... Each side has its own bottom line, and the ultimate goal is irreconcilable contradictions.

The Marcellus issue cannot be resolved peacefully, only by balancing the parties to maintain the status quo. ”

Da Liang sighed at this time and said, "The balance will be broken one day. Even without me and Blackfire, there would have been another way. The Flamenck's appointment of Governor Marcellus and the construction of the Grand Fleet of Naval Empires were actually saving themselves.

As we all know, the world has evolved very fast in recent decades. The Eastern countries were no longer the Eastern countries of the Hundred Years' War, and the Flominck Empire was not the empire that could sweep across the continent with cavalry at that time. The development of weapons is gradually phasing out the cavalry, and the development of ships has made the circulation and accumulation of wealth faster.

The Frominque Empire has fallen behind in many places, and if they can't really get out of the interior in the past few years, they can only watch Marcellus go further and further away from the Empire, and finally seal the Empire inland.

So...... Will an empire that has lost Marcellus be able to maintain a large territory? The contradictions of the various strata within it are enough to tear it to shreds.

Therefore, this time the Frominck Empire has made up its mind to take a desperate gamble. The Governor's Palace of Marcellus was rebuilt, the navy was built, and even the Emperor agreed to build an arsenal in Saroyan......

The empire is already preparing for war, so the speaker should stop having any illusions about peace, and think about how to prepare for war. ”

Da Liang can see this, and Speaker Peters can certainly see why the empire is doing something to Marcellus at this time, otherwise he would not have come to Da Liang this time.

"Young Master Liang...... What do you think the parliament should do to minimize Marcellus' losses? If this war starts, it will definitely be fought on our soil.

The prosperous Marcellus will turn into hell, and I don't know how many Marcellus people will die in this war. ”

Da Liang smiled: "What does this have to do with me? I'm a businessman...... Don't you see that I'm moving the Blackfire business closer to the military? The more intense you fight, the better my business will be. ”

Speaker Peters didn't expect Da Liang to have the idea of making war money, which was simply to fill his money bag with the lives of Marcellus.

"I didn't expect you to be this kind of person." Speaker Peters said angrily: "I thought you were a kind person, and I came here to discuss with you a solution to the crisis of Marcellus. And you're ...... But how to make money in war......

You're simply a demon. ”

Da Liang laughed and said, "Peters, are you nobler than me?" Put away your politician's face, if the empire wanes, you will be more proactive in starting a war than anyone else.

Otherwise, you wouldn't have ordered so many arms from the Holy See. ”

Hearing Da Liang mention the batch of arms, Speaker Peters frowned and said, "Do you know about that batch of arms?" ”

"Of course I know, I sent someone to put the water in the arsenal of the Blue Cathedral." Da Liang seemed to be saying something insignificant: "If it weren't for me, you would have been fighting in Saroyan for that batch of arms." I know a lot more than you think I know, so don't talk to me from the moral high ground.

If you have something to say, what do you want me to do, and what price can you pay? ”

Speaker Peters immediately resumed his normal conversation, and his face changed as fast as a professional actor, and he said with a red face after being exposed: "After the last meeting, I was guessing that the destruction of that batch of arms was related to you, Young Master Liang, and now I finally know the truth."

I know that the strength of the Black Fire Company is very strong, and the force you hide should not be weaker than that of the Scarab Company, so that the Scarab Company will willingly cede the Marcellus market.

In fact, after the destruction of the last munitions, the parliament procured another batch of weapons. This time we did not bring in Saroyan, but trained the army of the parliament in a friendly country.

After seeing the turtle-level multi-functional combat platform, I think that the Black Fire Company should have other high-performance weapons, is there one that is suitable for our parliamentary army?

Money is not an issue. ”

Seeing that business came to the door, Da Liang finally became interested, he poked the drawings in his hand on the table, and said to Speaker Peters: "Money is not a problem, there is no problem with anything."

Your Excellency Speaker, do you remember the fixed-wing aircraft that Blackfire received investment from the Parliament? This drawing is the engine of that aircraft. ”

Last time, Peters invested in the fixed-wing aircraft that Da Liang said, the purpose was just to pull this line, so as not to let Young Master Liang completely fall to the empire. I didn't expect ...... He actually figured it out.

So Speaker Peters looked at the drawings on the table...... I don't understand.

I could only hear Da Liang continue: "I named this fixed-wing aircraft airplane. The engine of the aircraft uses a multi-cylinder piston engine with direct injection of steam, which is based on the principle of direct vaporization of water in the cylinder to promote the rapid movement of multiple cylinders and generate mechanical kinetic energy.

Now the engine is already available, and the plane has been successfully tested. After several more comprehensive optimizations, a mass production model can be obtained.

This is a flying machine that ordinary people can fly after training, and although it is not as capable of fighting as the Silver Wing, it can be equipped as many as you want as long as you have soldiers.

The aircraft has a higher load than the Silver Wing, can carry bombs, and can be equipped with machine guns.

In a war, you can send hundreds or thousands of planes to bomb wherever you want. ”
