Chapter 455: Conflict and Alliance
What is the most important thing for the Navy?
It's a boat!
Without ships, even if there were more sailors and weapons and equipment, they could only defend the land port; Without a ship, even the most advanced magic artillery could only guard a small area on the shore; Without a ship, even if there is a ship mother, with the poor endurance of the ship mother, at most she can only operate in the offshore area.
Ships are the soul of the navy, and without ships, the navy becomes an army! However, the sudden sneak attack of the elven fleet this time destroyed more than ninety percent of the warships of the demon navy in one go, making the originally good navy completely become an army.
This is an act of declaration of war without question! The Demon King, who had been fishing and paddling all day, finally woke up and began to hold an emergency meeting to discuss the next plan of action.
In the conference hall of the Demon King City, all the high-level leaders of the demon clan gathered here.
"This is the credentials of the Elven Republic of Woodonassee and the Elven Kingdom of Haverella, who demand that we release our captives, compensate us for the damage we have caused them, cease all trade with the Orc Tribal Alliance, and demand that we accept their demands for border demarcation." In the conference hall, Lilith, the undersecretary of military intelligence, stood in front of the blackboard and told everyone in the audience about some of the elves' requests.
After Lilith finished explaining, Green sat up straight and looked at everyone in the conference room: "Everyone already knows the situation, now tell me what you think." ”
"Mona, Mona, Mona!" The Monas of the military headquarters immediately stood up, looking indignant.
"This border demarcation is too much! Those elves are no one! A demon half-orc said angrily, "The soldiers of the Southern Military Region are ready and ready to pledge their allegiance to the Demon King at any time!" ”
"The Northern Military Region is ready, ready to become the Demon King's blade and expedition to the East!"
……
In the conference hall, the representatives of various military regions slapped their chests one after another, with the attitude that they could go out at any time.
"Alright, alright, I see, sit down." Green waved his hand at the indignant crowd.
After pacifying the military representatives, the civilian representatives, led by Alice, finally began to speak.
"Ladies and gentlemen of the Admiralty, I would like to ask, what is the matter with the diplomatic documents that say, 'We attacked their warships'?" A low-level civilian official opened his mouth and questioned, "Could it be that someone in the military deliberately attacked the elven fleet of the United Kingdom and provoked disputes?" ”
"That's just an excuse for the United Kingdom." The fleet commander of the East China Sea Fleet said coldly, "For a long time, the elven fleet in Elven Bay has often targeted us. ”
Low-ranking civil official: "With all due respect, this is very unreasonable. The elven navy has never been huge, and it's hard to imagine that they are fighting the orc tribal alliance while declaring war on us. ”
"It doesn't matter what you think, but it's just the way it is." The commander of the East China Sea Fleet snorted coldly, "Instead of talking about these useless things here, let's think about what to do next!" ”
Civil Official: "We absolutely obey the will of the Demon King. Whether it's war or peace, we will always follow the Demon King! ”
"At most, those elves only dare to show off their might on the sea, and if they dare to land, we will make them regret coming to the world!" The staff officer of the Army General Staff Headquarters said proudly.
Naval Staff: "Although the Navy has suffered heavy losses, we will repair the warships as soon as possible and restore combat strength." ”
……
Looking at the noisy scene below, Green couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Guys, it's a meeting." Green reached out and tapped on the table, "I hope you can come up with a comprehensive and feasible war plan to prepare for the next war, instead of talking nonsense here!" ”
Seeing that Green was angry, everyone immediately fell silent.
"Does the General Staff have a corresponding war plan?" Green looked at the military representative to the right of the table.
In the military, the staff is basically in charge of the demons, and Mona mainly serves as an officer.
Seeing Green's gaze, Army Commander Mona stood up: "Mona Mona, Mona Mona Mona~"
"Your Majesty, as soon as the General Staff heard about the outbreak of war, they immediately formulated three plans." A staff officer handed a document to Green.
"Oh?" Green reached out and took the papers.
"Although our navy is almost completely wiped out, the ship's mother is still there, and it is no problem to cooperate with the army to defend the coastal areas. But if we want to fight back, it's more difficult. The countries that have declared war on us are the Elven Republic of Woodonassi and the Elven Kingdom of Haverella, which do not border us. If we want to launch a counterattack, there are only three options: first, rebuild the navy, find a way to destroy the elven fleet, and then attack from the sea. 2. Directly climb over the Frost and Snow Fang Mountains and attack the Fairy Forest from land. 3. Take a detour from the Endless Snow Field, form an alliance with the Orc Tribal Alliance of the Eastern Plateau, and then attack the Fairy Forest from the Eastern Plateau. ”
"You can't do that!" When the foreign minister heard the words of the military, he jumped in fright, "At present, only the navies of the Elven Republic of Woodonassee and the Elven Kingdom of Haverilla are fighting with us, and the rest of the countries united in the east are not fighting with us. If we attack the mainland of the United Kingdom of the East, the local war will escalate into a full-scale war with the entire United Kingdom of the East! ”
"Huh!? We're at war now. "The General Staff looked at the Foreign Minister with idiotic eyes.
Foreign Minister: "War and war are not the same. The only countries that are at war with us are the Elven Republic of Woodonassee and the Elven Kingdom of Haverella, and the scope of the war is currently limited to the sea, and other countries are not participating in the war. But if we take the initiative to attack the core territories of the member states of the United Kingdom of the East, it will mean that we will declare war on the entire United Kingdom of the East! ”
"Huh? Do you want to say that while the elves can declare war on us, we can't declare war on them? ”
Foreign Minister: "It sounds, but that's actually what it is. ”
After some explanation by the Minister for Foreign Affairs, everyone finally understood the rules of the United Kingdom of East.
The United Kingdom of East is a military alliance of several countries. Both the Elven Republic of Woodornasee and the Elven Kingdom of Haverilla are only a part of the Eastern United Kingdom, but they do not represent the entire Eastern United Kingdom.
In the United States of the East, there are some contradictions between the various countries. In the United Kingdom of the East, the vast majority of countries do not care about the wars of the Elven Republic of Woodonassee and the Elven Kingdom of Haverella, but if someone attacks the core territory of the member states of the United Kingdom of the East, the situation is different - all the members of the United Kingdom of the East will automatically declare war on the invaders! Because the member states of the Eastern United Kingdom have signed a "mutual defense" treaty, this treaty will not take effect when it invades another country, but once it is invaded by other countries, the mutual defense treaty will be triggered, and all member states will automatically declare war on the invader!
This is a very rogue set of rules!
After understanding all this, everyone looked at Green: "Lord Demon King, what should we do now?" ”
Green frowned deeply: "In other words, if we don't want to declare war with the entire Eastern United Kingdom, then the scope of the war can only be within the Elven Bay and our territory?" ”
Foreign Minister: "Yes. ”
"It's just a hooligan!" Green felt very unhappy, "They can only beat us, but they are not allowed to fight back?" What a reason! ”
Hearing Green's complaints, the foreign minister fell silent.
