522 Counterinsurgency V
"This is indeed a problem, Your Majesty. There will be many reasons for them, what fleet defects as a whole, deliberate imitation by the mercenary legion, etc. As long as they can fool those people, it is not surprising what kind of excuses they come up with. Melemets Salaam nodded.
"So what? Lord Karl, can't you Tashmungon fleet even deal with a fleet of the Federation Navy? Do you want to mobilize the rest of us and the Imperial Navy? Why don't we change it! Although our Kador fleet is only half of its original strength, it is still easy to deal with a fleet of the Union Navy. Ullamkador said sarcastically.
"The strategic thinking of the head of the Ulam family is really high! The Kador fleet can still have half the strength, and the master of the Ulam family is really indispensable! Karl retorted.
"You!" This time it was Ulam's turn to be furious.
However, Karl ignored him, and he said to Empress Jamil: "Your Majesty, since the Third Fleet of the Federal Navy has appeared at the source, then we cannot rule out the possibility of additional troops of the Federal Navy. Not only that, but we also have to watch out for the republican fleet of the Republic of Mimatar. If the Republican Fleet then uses the Federation to sneak into the Domain of the Fountain ... I don't want to turn a good source rebellion into a tragic source battle! ”
His words made the rest of them nod thoughtfully, and Empress Jameel spoke, "Indeed! What Carl Qing said may not be impossible! There are so many eyes to spy on the Empire, and we need to guard against not only the Lorde Federation and the Republic of Slaves, but also the rampant pirates! For example, the Blood Raiders, the Heretics, and the Celestial Serpent Group. These are all forces that are very close to the Source Domain, and they also need to be guarded against! ”
"But Your Majesty, is there a difference between this and the Empire's full combat readiness?" Younis Atishapo asked.
"But we're not fully mobilized, Eunice. We're just raising the level of readiness. "The commander-in-chief of the Navy of Emma, Admiral Kzdisuendalla explained.
"Of course I do, but our allies and the rest of the forces don't! I think it's very likely that they will also enter a state of full mobilization, and then the whole world will enter the pre-war tranquility, and it will be up to them to come out first and be a fuse. Eunice Atishapo said.
The scene fell silent for a while, and what the head of the Eunice Atishapo family said was indeed a problem. These high-ranking officials of the empire know about it, but it doesn't mean that the officers and soldiers at the bottom also know it. One can imagine that with both sides on high alert, any misfire could be seen as a signal for war.
And if the war starts, it will be a tragic and full-scale world war. When the time comes, no force or individual will be able to stand alone.
"Then or ... We don't mobilize? Or is it a partial mobilization? For example, what about mobilizing only five fleets? Melermes Salaam asked tentatively.
"No, Master Melemes, do you think there is a difference between mobilizing the five fleets and the full mobilization of the Imperial Navy?" Admiral Kzdisuendalla vetoed.
"What then? We can't do nothing, can we? Melemet Salaam asked anxiously.
"If there is a way to avoid this, Master Mermes, you might as well speak up and let you discuss it." The Chief of the War Department, Admiral Perim Amien, said to Melemets Salaam.
Melemes Salaam suddenly stopped talking, and there was nothing she could do to avoid it.
In fact, the root cause of this situation is the incomprehensible wartime mobilization system of the Emma Empire.
As we all know, in addition to the Imperial Navy, the Emma Empire has five of the most elite fleets. That is the fleet controlled by the five elector families of the empire, or in other words, the private army of the five elector families.
According to the past practice, when preparing to deal with or start a war, the Emma Empire will first put these five fleets into a state of imminent combat to ensure that they have sufficient surprise or counterattack forces.
After the five fleets have been mobilized, the Imperial Navy and the Imperial Frontier Fleet will be mobilized next.
Therefore, if you want to know whether the Emma Empire is preparing for war in the near future, you only need to know the combat readiness level of the five fleets.
And now, if the Imperial Navy and the Imperial Border Fleet are mobilized first, it will only make the surrounding forces more vigilant. They would think that the five fleets of the Emma Empire had already been mobilized and were at the point where they could go to war at any time. This leads to an even worse scenario, where all the forces of New Eden begin to mobilize.
Because no force will sit idly by and do nothing, the whole of New Eden will become a giant powder keg. It only takes a little bit of spark to detonate directly.
"Do you have any ideas to speak freely, whether it is good or bad, it is a way after all!" Empress Jameel urged.
However, no one had any better ideas, and everyone was racking their brains to come up with a solution, and the atmosphere fell silent for a while.
Just as everyone was meditating, Karl suddenly looked up and said to Queen Jameel, "Your Majesty, your minister... Maybe there's a way? ”
"Speak." Empress Jameel bowed slightly.
"The minister thinks that the Tashmengon fleet stationed in Adiriya has entered a state of imminent battle, so why not let all of the minister's Tashmengon fleet enter a state of imminent war? In this way, it can prevent the Galent Federation and the Mimatar Republic from putting a new fleet in the Source Domain, and it will not cause too much panic among the surrounding forces. Because they all know that it is now the minister who leads the Tashmengon fleet to the domain of the source to quell the rebellion. The lion and the rabbit also went all out, and Chen's fleet ranked relatively low among the five major fleets of the empire, so it was not surprising that there was such a move. However, if the Gaellent Federation and the Republic of Mimatar put a new fleet to the source, then the minister must sit in Adiriyah and command all the imperial navies in the region against the enemy's invasion! Karl spoke his mind.
"This is not a bad idea, ladies and gentlemen, what do you think?" Empress Jameel nodded, then asked.
"The minister seconded the proposal." The two admirals looked at each other and said.
"The ministers seconded the proposal." The other three heads of the family also said.
Ulam Kador was the only one with a grim face, as if he was hesitating about something.
"The head of the Ulam family, it is precisely the head of the Karl family who leads the army to fight against us that is relieved. If it were someone else, like you ... Hey, hey, hey... Meleme Salaam run.
"Minister... Seconded. Ullamkador finally nodded.
