Chapter 344: Naval Plan

"As for the army in our southern theater of operations, it is still increasing. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Locke looked at the officers below who looked at him expectantly, smiled and said, "It depends on the recruitment of foreign soldiers this time." If there are more, then a new clan will be formed in a ratio of 1:1. ”

"So," Locke looked at Paul, Thor, and Fran with a smile, "do you need me to find a new successor for your three reserve legions?" Or do you continue to work part-time? ”

Hudson, who was silent, the deputy commander of the Southern Theater of Operations could see it clearly.

Their commanders, the Great Lords, were very attentive to the foreign soldiers. He did not hesitate to warn them, and linked the increase of the army to foreign soldiers!

I am afraid that the soldiers recruited in the southern theater in the future will be mainly foreign soldiers. These follow-up actions were deliberately done by the Great Lord for fear that the legion commanders would not pay attention to the foreign soldiers.

Hudson nodded thoughtfully. It seems that after the meeting, it is necessary to gather all the officers together and convey the spirit of the great lord.

As the commanders of the army, these three also vaguely understood what Locke meant. The attitude that was originally a little contemptuous has become cautious.

So, the three of them solemnly took over the task of running in the foreign soldiers of the three reserve regiments.

"Major Maslan," Locke called out to the current head of the navy, and the young man quickly stood up and looked at Locke excitedly.

"Please command the Great Lord!"

Locke waved his hand to soothe his agitated emotions and asked him to sit down, "Do you know anything about the current kingdom of Kul Tiras?" ”

The many officers and priests in the room turned their heads to look at him who was sitting in the back row of the officers. Disdain, indifference, curiosity, and many other scrutinizing eyes focused on him.

Maslan sat up straight, looking straight at Locke, nervousness sticking to his left and right, his throat moving up and down, swallowing saliva.

Since the Southern Theater has stabilized, everything has been moving for the better, and those places that had gone unnoticed before have begun to attract the attention of others.

At the beginning, when Locke promoted this junior of the Lordaeron naval family to lieutenant, no one paid much attention to him. At that time, Iva was still being established, and there were still various threats everywhere in the Northern Silver Pine Forest, and there were not so many nobles and people living here.

And when Eva, when the entire Northern Silver Pine Forest under Locke's leadership, became more and more agreeable, the others suddenly found out.

What the Great Lord did had a very strong purpose! It's all about paving the way for the future! At least so far, many of the results have already been revealed.

Those who first joined are already starting to reap the rewards! No one is blind, they can see it.

Although at first, they were all surprised by the age of the Great Lord and despised him for it. But as time went on, they became more and more surprised, and because of this, they quietly hid the contempt in their hearts. And with a firm confidence, he followed in Locke's footsteps and moved his family from Tirisfa and other places to Ivah.

Therefore, when Locke gives orders and puts forward new proposals, everyone will always support them and go all out to promote them, so as to obtain the benefits of this.

Obviously, the Navy is where these people overlooked before.

And now, if they want to meddle in the affairs of the navy again, it has become impossible. Maslan, a young major, began to frequently enter the field of vision of these people. They waited for him to make a mistake, and once he made a mistake, the entire navy would be quickly divided up by the big men in the army, as well as other related emerging aristocratic groups.

Maslan cleared his throat to ease his nervousness, and then he looked directly into Locke's encouraging gaze and spoke boldly.

"Kul Tirath is not in a good situation at the moment, not long since Gianna Prodmore, the eldest daughter of Admiral Daillin Prodmoore, crossed the Endless Sea with part of her fleet. Admiral Dalin also took most of the remaining fleet to the other side of the Endless Sea, the continent of Kalimdor, after the natural disaster in our Lordaeron was completely out of control. ”

"Today, the kingdom of Kul Tiras is ruled by the Admiral's second son, Thanred Prodmore. The admiral left him with only a small part of the fleet, which could only maintain the daily patrols of the kingdom of Kurtilas. They have lost the ability to sail long distances, as well as the possibility of fighting robbers at sea. Hey, once a naval power became like this..."

However, the young naval lieutenant did not continue to regret it, he said with some excitement, "The former naval power of Kurtilas has declined!" This is our chance in Lordaeron! I know from the mouths of non-commissioned officers, officers, retired veterans of the Navy that we have recruited. According to the field survey of the Kingdom of Kurtilas through the trading fleet, the shipbuilding industry in their country is in a continuous depression because of the shrinkage of the country's trade, the country has no money to build ships, and there are no shipbuilding orders in the docks, and many shipbuilding craftsmen and workers have to go fishing for a living. ”

"Their country can't even deal with Naga and the fish-people now. The population of the country is much smaller because of the two eastward crossings to the Endless Sea. Maslan's eyes sparkled at Locke, and he stood up and said with a firm expression, "High Lord, if possible, I wish I could make a trip to Kul Tiras, for our navy." Recruit craftsmen and workers there and at the same time seek them to give us a certain direction in the Navy! ”

All those present looked at the agitated major, and they vaguely saw Locke's shadow in him. They are all so young, they are all nobles, and they are all enthusiastic.

"I agree in principle with this." Then, without waiting for Maslan to speak, Locke continued, "However, if you go alone, I am afraid it will be difficult to get the attention of the ruler of the Kingdom of Kul Tiras. Without official support, these things are difficult to do. ”

Locke touched his chin, looked at the anxious Maslan and said, "If I can finish all the work at hand in the near future, then I will go with you." Go and meet Thanred and get his support, so that we can have an account for the Navy. ”

"Great Lord, let's go."

As soon as Locke finished speaking, Shiloh and Hudson stood up against it.

"You are now our leader, and everything in the Silver Pine Forest is inseparable from you!" Shiloh persuaded helplessly, "Sailing across the sea is very dangerous. Naga don't stay at the bottom of the sea, they often attack merchant ships, and more than a thousand cargo ships are sunk every year. ”
