The sacrifices that the Floinque Empire had made and prepared to make in order to build a large naval fleet were unimaginable. They are ready to use the cruelest law of elimination to select the most qualified naval officers and sailors for the empire.

To put it bluntly, it is to use war to choose, whoever can survive to the end will truly belong to the ocean.

After the complete failure of the Blue Corps' naval training program, the empire recalled all the students who studied at overseas naval military academies, and then transferred personnel from the army system to form the navy.

All the officers and men who could swim were included in the navy's candidate list, and at the same time, the children of fishermen from the inland lakes of the empire were recruited into the army, and the best personnel were put together into the imperial navy's grand fleet.

The imperial system dictates that it has a very strong ability to mobilize armies. The formation of a new type of army may take months in other countries, but it only took a month for the empire to set up the framework of the navy and begin to organize the first personnel to train in the inner lake.

However, of course, this hastily trained navy has no way to compare the comprehensive capabilities of the combined fleets of the eastern countries, and this gap needs to be filled in with the lives of countless soldiers.

Anne knew that the naval strategy that Da Liang had said was very suitable for the current state of the Imperial Navy. Harness the adaptability, mobility, and landing capabilities of the Turtle-class multi-purpose combat platform to turn the waters between the Empire and the United Felwood into a hunting ground for "wolves". Let the Combined Fleet not dare to leave its own coastal waters easily without finding the main force of the Imperial Navy.

In order to buy time for the expansion of the Grand Fleet of the Imperial Navy.

But can the current Imperial Navy become a qualified "wolf pack"?

This goes back to the central idea of the Imperial Navy's military construction, using war to screen out the real "wolves". Therefore, in Anne's eyes, Mo said that the battle loss ratio of 1:2 is a 1:3 or even 1:4 battle loss ratio for the Imperial Navy in the early stage, which is a morale-boosting victory for the Imperial Navy.

Hearing the lack of confidence in the Imperial Navy in Anne's tone, Da Liang said, "No one is born to fight, but some people are born to exist for war.

The Imperial Navy is an opportunity for everyone, and it is easier for a good commander to shine.

Go back and think about how to fight this naval battle.

I'm optimistic about you. ”

While Da Liang and Anne were talking about the international situation around the Flominck Empire, Speaker Peters also got on the newly developed plane of Blackfire Airlines.

The Brigadebird-class test aircraft is a very conservative two-wing structure, with a single engine located at the nose of the nose. The cockpit is a two-seater front and rear, and both pilot positions can control the aircraft, so the Brigade-Bird-class test aircraft can also be used as a flight trainer.

Peters had just watched a test flight of the Brigade-Bird-class test aircraft from the lighthouse of the Dock Academy of Magic. Its speed, maneuverability, and stability were far beyond Peters' imagination. This was the first aircraft to be studied, and in many indicators it was equal to the Silver Wing, which had been in development for so many years.

When the aircraft design technology matures and the engine is more powerful, the combat effectiveness will definitely be able to continuously challenge the Silver Wing.

As Speaker Peters sat on the plane, speeding over the ocean, he thought about how to get Blackfire to build the aircraft factory quickly, and then purchase 200 of each combat aircraft first.

……

With the Turtle-class multi-functional combat platform being selected by the Flominck Imperial Navy, the emergence of this new branch of ships has made Da Liang have to deal with all kinds of people every day.

Most people would like to have access to hovercraft engine technology, or to buy an engine from Blackfire that produces steam directly from seawater.

However, if Da Liang wanted to maintain the superiority of the Flamenke Imperial Navy, he refused all of them one by one on the grounds that the production capacity of the Black Fire Shipyard could not be reached.

The Black Fire Shipyard was built by the Holy See, so the Holy See also commissioned Father Titus of the Blue Cathedral to express to Da Liang the technology of buying a hovercraft.

Bishop Roland did not return to the Blue Cathedral after his debriefing, and he entered the House of Elders of the Holy See and became a core member of the management of the Holy See. However, the appointment of a new bishop of the Blue Cathedral by the Holy See has not been issued for a long time.

The reason for the vacancy of the Bishop of the Great Apostolic See is the discovery of traces of the activities of the evil sect in Saroyan. There are indications that the gaze abyss, which once struck the Blue Cathedral, has once again entered the city of Saroyan. This time, gazing into the abyss is even more hidden, and the metropolis of millions of people breeds evil everywhere, becoming a fertile ground for the development of this evil sect.

However, the Church of the Good, which regards all heretics as mortal enemies, not only does not find out the abyss of staring, but instead allows the evil forces to continue to grow.

The Holy See for the Most Good is very unhappy with the Church of the Most Good in Saroyan. Therefore, leaving the bishop of the Blue Cathedral vacant, it seems that this should be used as a reward to motivate the many priests to expel the heresy from the shining world as soon as possible.

Although Elder Roland proposed several times to appoint Father Titus as Bishop of the Blue Cathedral, to lead the power of all the best churches of Saroyan. But as a new elder, Roland doesn't have that much say in it.

After Father Titus' proposal to purchase a hovercraft was rejected by Da Liang, he began to report on the development of the Light of Order Church.

After several months of development, the Light of Order Church is still confined to the Great Sepulbrel's Frost City. However, the tens of millions of skeletons stored in the Frost City have all been successfully transformed into followers of the Demon King of the World.

The acquisition of divine power and the use of divine magic have made a very big leap in the strength of the skeletons. Although the IQ makes it impossible for low-level skeletons to use too high-level divine arts, enough piety allows the skeletons to obtain a very surging and stable amount of divine power, which is beyond the reach of many priests who have believed in the God of Light for a long time.

So there was a problem that Father Titus couldn't solve.

If the value of divine power that skeletons can use is compared to 10, then the value of divine power used by low-level skeletons is 1, or even lower.

Father Titus has also tried to teach low-level skeletons to use more advanced magic, but the skeleton's IQ makes the undead fight only by using the skeleton soldier sea push, and before the low-level skeletons awaken their wisdom, the god of death can't do anything about them.

"Young Master Liang......" Father Titus said after introducing the difficulties he had encountered in his mission during this time, "In the entire undead clan, there are only a few undead who can awaken wisdom after all. And the huge group of skeletons can obviously have the same strength as intermediate magicians or even high-level magicians with their divine powers, but I really can't teach them to use more advanced magic skills.

Perhaps we can open the Light of Order Church to the world in order to attract more believers with 'potential'."

It should be a believer with brains.

However, Da Liang and Da Tomb have strategically defined their opponents for a long time in the future, which gives the development of Da Tomb a distinct purpose, and everything must be conceived at a higher level of war.

There are very few living races in the Great Tomb, but there are very, very many skeletons, and after all the undead under the Death Desert are recruited, there is an absolute number of hundreds of millions, which are very good consumable soldiers.

If the combat effectiveness of a skeleton soldier can be increased a little bit, then in the face of a large base, the increase is a very terrifying number.

Therefore, the strengthening of the skeleton soldiers is in the eyes of Da Liang...... No less important than the transformation of the Angel Legion.

"The problem of skeletons' intelligence, how many Dead Monarchs have not solved, so we don't need to bother to teach skeletons to use high-level divine arts, we should turn our attention to the divine power that skeletons have."

Father Titus said suspiciously: "Divine power is just a kind of energy, and only by using divine magic can you transform divine power into the effect you want to use." Divine power alone is like a magic energy crystal, no matter how large its energy level is, it is a stone if it cannot be released.

Directly use divine power, which is probably only possible with a god. ”

Da Liang said: "I don't mean to use divine power directly, but to use another method to take advantage of the high divine power value of skeletons. What is the power to destroy the world? It's fire, it's very simple heat energy.

And the steam engine technology that has been developed in your time is the use of thermal energy. A skeleton soldier who believes in the god of destruction is a thermocore that is continuous and does not require the addition of magic crystals.

Developing a spell that effectively allows skeletons to emit heat consistently and steadily is the most important thing you need to do, and it's definitely more useful than developing a few high-level spells.

Then it is to use the steam engine technology on the skeleton soldiers, I suggest making a set of power armor for the skeleton soldiers, and the strength will also increase. ”

Da Liang's suggestion to transform the skeleton soldiers is not a whim.

In fact, the problems encountered by the skeleton soldiers are similar to the situation encountered by Da Liang himself, Da Liang also has a large amount of magic reserves, but he can't release magic, and can only use magic power through magic props.

This gave Da Liang inspiration.

Since the skeleton soldier's intelligence can't use high-level magic techniques, it shouldn't be difficult to simply heat up.

As long as it can boil water, it can drive the steam engine, and then the steam engine can in turn support the generated power to the skeleton soldier.

Of course, the whole research process must be full of dangers, because if the mecha structure is not properly designed, the power generated by the steam engine is enough to tear the skeleton soldier's fragile body apart. However, skeleton soldiers have no human rights, they do not know fear, and absolutely obey orders, which is the best experimental object for the development of this kind of individual mecha weapon.

In the military sequence of the Great Grave, only a very small number of high-level heroes are able to complete the semi-energy of their bodies in the end. Most soldiers need a suitable individual mecha to adapt to the complex war environment of the future.

Da Liang's proposal made Father Titus pause. As a clergyman, he really didn't think about the issue of skeleton soldiers from the perspective of anything other than divine power and divine art.

It's a combination of divine power and natural technology. Although it is conceivable that there will be many difficulties in the whole research process, the final success is predictable.

Father Titus became a little excited: "Yes...... It's very easy to release heat alone. If we develop the reverse extraction of heat, we will be able to control the movement of the machine more precisely.

And a single addition of water can keep the mech running for a long time.

I think this idea is worth a lot of in-depth study. Divine magic can be left to the Church of the Light of Order to develop, and we have a few very good necromancers, but the steam engine technology is not something that the Light of Order can study alone. ”

Since the idea is feasible, Da Liang is also very happy, he said: "The steam engine technology can be handed over to the university alliance. Now that the entire university league is focusing a lot on the field of engines, what kind of technology do you need go directly to Brown Jennings.

I'll leave it to you.

And then...... I have heard that you have been appointed Bishop of the Blue Cathedral, and it seems that you have encountered a little hindrance. ”

Returning to the Holy See of the Most Good Sect, Father Titus said helplessly: "Because of the matter of that batch of weapons, both the empire and the parliament have great prejudices against the Holy See of the Most Good. It was difficult for the Holy See to get their help in searching for the infidels. The council even imposed a lot of restrictions on us on the grounds that the church knights were harassing the people. This should have something to do with Speaker Peters......

The Holy See was very dissatisfied with the diocese of Saroyan and never appointed a bishop of the Blue Cathedral. However, I have always held the functions of bishop, which is tacitly accepted by the Holy See. ”

Da Liang said: "If you want to be the bishop of the Blue Cathedral, I can help you. I know where the gaze of the abyss is, and although this little church is still of some use to me, it's okay to hit them a bit. ”

Father Titus shook his head and said, "No, no, no...... I think the reason why the Holy See did not appoint the Blue Cathedral was not just because of staring into the abyss, but because it was watching the situation of Marcellus in the coming period.

Anyone can see that the smell of gunpowder here is getting stronger and stronger. The Flamenke Empire continued to attack the bottom line of the Eastern countries, increasing the military power of Marcellus, and a war was almost inevitable.

In all past disputes, the Holy See of the Supreme Virtue will not clearly support which side it will support, and it will always negotiate terms for arms sales on both sides, and only take sides when the final decision is made. In the eyes of the Holy See, I am afraid that there is not a single person in the entire Diocese of Saroyan who will be able to complete this task well.

In dealing with the infidels lurking in Saroyan, it even revealed the unfriendly attitude of the empire and the parliament towards the Most Good Holy See.

I don't think the Holy See intends to raise a bishop from among the many priests of Saroyan, but rather to send a bishop from the Holy See to deal with the problem of Marcellus.

To appoint a bishop directly to a large diocese is to place that bishop in opposition to all the priests who are staring at the episcopal position. Therefore, the Holy See's delay in appointing the bishop of the Blue Cathedral is actually waiting for another opportunity.

The combined fleets of the Flominck Empire and the Eastern Powers will have a conflict at sea. I think that the Holy See will send a mission to the Flominque Empire and to the countries of the East, and finally the mission will come to Saloyan.

At that time, the Holy See's appointment of the bishop of the Blue Cathedral will also be issued. ”
