Annie's concern is chaotic, and it is difficult to stand on the outside like Da Liang to look at the cause and effect of the whole thing, as well as the meaning behind it.

Meritorious master, no matter what era it is, it is a taboo to serve the king as a subordinate.

But in the face of immortality, how many people can retreat bravely and return halfway when they reach the pinnacle of life?

Anne knew how much pressure her father would face to sit in this position, and that continuing to move forward could be an abyss from which she would never recover. Taking the initiative to resign can naturally save his life, but in this life, he will stay away from the political arena of the Frominck Empire.

The Marquis of Whitehead was now in the prime of his political career, and the Empire was about to take a major turn for the better. The Hundred Years' War is still being talked about 200 years later, and the heroes who emerged during that period are recorded in history and have become legends.

If the Empire can win at this turn of national fortunes, then the light of the Marquis of Whitehead, as Governor of Marcellus, will obscure the Emperor and become the brightest figure in this history.

At this time, Anne remembered what her father had said to herself: "Your Majesty is willing to take risks for the fortunes of the country, so why should I not accompany Your Majesty?" ”

Anne only now realized the meaning of her father's words.

On the issue of Marcellus, the Marquis of Whitehead was walking on thin ice. He not only has to actively strengthen the power of the empire in Marcellus, but also has to prevent being stabbed in the back by his own people at all times.

If the alchemy items that expel the undead are handed over to the Empire, the variables caused will increase significantly. Especially...... What kind of changes will occur in the minds of the emperors.

In a word...... In the current situation, the Marquis of Whitehead will never take the initiative to step down from this position, nor will he let anyone threaten his position.

After thinking about it so much, Anne's mood was slightly better.

"Thank you, Young Master Liang, for what you said to me...... My father did the right thing, that batch of alchemy equipment really shouldn't have appeared at this time. I think my father will take this batch of alchemy equipment out and give it to the Empire when it is most needed. ”

And although Da Liang comforted Anne so much, he didn't quite think so himself.

The Marquis of Whitehead concealed from the Emperor the alchemical equipment that could drive away the spirits of the dead, representing the greater sacrifice that the Empire would have to make in order to support the possible outbreak of the Marcellus War. From this incident, Da Liang could not see the Marquis of Whitehead's loyalty to the Empire...... He can deceive the emperor who he has sworn allegiance to for the sake of his own reputation or something, and he will do whatever it takes to disregard the lives of lower-level officers and soldiers and the people.

Such a person, after reaching the pinnacle of life, will he let go of everything he has?

It is difficult for ministers and emperors to start and finish well...... Rebellion and usurpation are sometimes the last way that powerful ministers have to take.

Da Liang didn't say this, he didn't want to give Anne too much influence. And he knew that Anne would definitely be able to think of this, but she didn't want to think about it.

So Da Liang said: "Some things, some people, are not something we can influence. This situation ...... Letting it develop and actively preparing a plan is the best choice.

Marcellus and Flominck, no matter how far they can go in the end, the Desert of Death will always be a barrier between them.

And this desert is the land of the Lord. ”

This is the first time that Da Liang has declared his sovereignty over the Death Desert to Anne. and hinted that he could seal the passage between Marcellus and Flominck at any time if he wanted to. The national fortune of the Flominck Empire is actually in his hands, as long as he wants, he can make the Flominck Empire agree to many, many conditions at any time.

Keeping the Whitehead family is naturally a very simple matter.

Of course, Anne knows it all too well...... It's definitely not gratuitous.

"Young Master Liang, do you need me to pay anything?"

Da Liang laughed: "It's too hurtful to negotiate the price now." Maybe the day won't come when we're going to make this deal. And you can rest assured that what I want will definitely be something you can afford.

Come, have a glass of wine.

Then put aside the matter of that batch of alchemy equipment for the time being. You are now an officer in the Imperial Navy, and a naval battle is approaching, so think about how to resist the attack of the navies of the Eastern Powers. ”

Da Liang brings the conversation to the impending naval invasion of the Imperial Navy.

The eastern coast of the Continent of Order, with its prosperous economy and numerous countries, and its backing to the sea, all have good maritime power. Although none of the Eastern countries on land could fight against the Flamenck Empire alone, any one of the navies was the "daddy class" of the empire.

Because of the autonomy of Marcellus, none of the Eastern countries of the same lineage imposed a blockade on Marcellus on the sea. And if the empire recovers Marcellus, it will definitely be blocked by the eastern countries.

This is the background of the imperial urgency and the formation of a large fleet.

The Flamenke Empire wants its own sea power, and the eastern countries will definitely bully the small and nip the imperial fleet in the bud.

This battle for the sea will definitely be fought, and it will soon be fought.

Then it was the parliament that seized the opportunity to gain the open support of the eastern countries and start the Marcellus War.

Therefore, how well this naval battle can be fought directly determines the position of the empire in the Marcellus War.

Win...... In one fell swoop, the Floinque Empire became a maritime power, and was able to directly threaten the eastern states from the sea. Then the eastern countries will be very cautious about the Marcellus issue, and will not even give support to the Marcellus parliament. Without outside assistance, the power of the Council could be quickly extinguished by the Imperial Army, and then the Empire would have taken Marcellus into the Alpha Cyst.

Of course, this situation will not arise, and a navy that has not yet been touched by a new company of warships will not be strong enough to be like this. No matter how good a battleship is, it needs someone to drive it.

Defeated...... The Grand Fleet of the Imperial Flominque Navy was completely annihilated, and all the coastal waters were shrouded in artillery by the fleets of the Eastern Powers. Then the countries of the East will unreservedly support the Council of Marcellus, provide money, weapons, and even direct troops.

In this way, the empire will face the situation of the Hundred Years' War, but the current empire does not have the cohesion of the Hundred Years' War, and the famous musketeer cavalry regiment does not have the scenery of that time when facing more advanced weapons.

The best-case scenario is that the Imperial Navy, supported by a coastal defense system, can defend itself and hold several important coastal cities, including Saroyan. In this way, the Flaminck Empire will be able to get in touch with other countries that have no interests with the Empire through the sea, and can use some deals to gain the support of overseas countries.

With this sea supply channel, the empire was able to maintain the army on the Eastern Front. Then it will fight with the empire itself to achieve an east-west flank against the parliamentary forces.
