Chapter 1888: "The Great Tsunami" (VI.)
"The magic submarine is a strategic equipment related to the future development of the navy, didn't the Hailan government requisition this submarine and analyze its internal structure?" Roland asked in surprise.
Prince Carol shrugged: "That salvage company is called a private enterprise, but in fact, it is funded by the Hailan royal family, but it is not a soft persimmon, how can it tolerate the military taking away the artifact they rely on to make a fortune in vain." In fact, that company also maintains a close cooperative relationship with the Hailan military, and more than once invited the military's technical team to board the ship for research, but unfortunately the history of the world of Vares from the ocean era to the present is too long, and the civilization inheritance from ancient times to the present has broken and even declined countless times, and the magic technology we commonly use now belongs to two completely different systems from the "Little Dolphin", and it is difficult to learn from each otherThe "Little Dolphin" designed a magic submarine that meets the needs of actual combat as a template. ”
While we were chatting, the carriage pulled into the dock and slowly stopped.
Roland followed the Vlad family to the pier and looked at the calm sea with curiosity and anticipation for the "Little Dolphin".
After waiting for a long time, the calm sea suddenly set off a slight wave, and an object with a light blue shell that resembled a giant whale slowly surfaced, until the hatch was opened on its back, and the four of them climbed up the shaft escalator, and Roland realized that this was a real submarine.
"Look, that's the Little Dolphin." Veronica pointed to the blue submarine near the dock and introduced Roland, "The fat man who just got off the back of the submarine and jumped onto the barge is the foreign minister of the sea blue, Parini, because he can stuff his plump body into the submarine hatch...... There are also the three teenagers who escorted Lord Parini ashore, all of them are mercenaries on the 'Little Dolphin', don't look at their young age, but they are all genuine 'Sea Knights', and they are said to belong to a mercenary organization called 'Sea Dragoons', which is very famous in Hailan! ”
Roland looked in the direction of Veronica's finger, and the first thing he saw was a fat man with a smile on his face, presumably Lord Parini, the envoy of the sea blue. The three bodyguards accompanying the envoy were a little too young, fifteen or sixteen at best, and the color of their hair seemed to be showing a position, and they were sea blue, burgundy, and forgiveness.
Before the crossing, Roland was a hardcore player in the "Fire Emblem" series, so when he saw these three young knights with different hair colors, he reflexively concluded that "Little Blue" was the leader of the three, and "Little Red" and "Little Green" were "Little Blue's" childhood sweethearts and right-hand men.
……
After a brief greeting, the Vlad family offered a banquet for Lord Parini and his attaché. Parini has been in the diplomatic circles for many years, and he is accustomed to being observant and empathetic, and he has long seen that the Vlad family is worried, so he voluntarily declined the banquet.
"The Imperial fleet is close at hand, and the situation is so urgent, let's get down to business as soon as possible."
Lord Parini's initiative was exactly what Vlad and his wife wanted, and everyone got off the bus in the square in front of the palace and went directly to the conference hall, where they dismissed their attachés, and in the hall there were only Roland and Parini, except for the three members of the royal family of Parnia.
Lord Parini did not go around in circles, and introduced to Roland and the Vlad family the dynamics of the Imperial fleet since it was stationed in the Golden Horn, and explained by the way that the Hailan government was currently under great pressure - in order to concentrate on dealing with the increasingly fierce invasion of the Paushua Liukou in the north, he had to compromise with the Yashan Empire, and under the pressure of the other party's artillery ships, he pinched his nose and agreed to lend Coral Harbor.
Roland couldn't help but laugh secretly when he saw the fat man with a slippery head pretending to be aggrieved, as if he had just been blown up by the imperial gun. It is true that Hailan is currently experiencing some difficulties, but it is too much of an exaggeration for Parini to say that his country's coastal defense forces are so weak. In fact, Hailan's naval power is not much inferior to that of the Empire, and it is fully capable of defending territorial waters and rejecting the unreasonable demands of the Imperial government. However, instead of taking a tough stance, the Sea Blue people tolerated the Imperial fleet's entry and exit of the Golden Horn at will, and provided it with a front-line anchorage, in addition to the northern pressure emphasized by Parini, there was also an ulterior factor, that is, it was expected that the Imperial Navy and the Far East Navy would fight head-on, and it would be better to lose both, and all the main warships on both sides would be wiped out, and their vitality would be greatly damaged. In this way, Hailan can overwhelm the Assanian Empire without a single soldier and become the undisputed second naval power in the world of Vares, and by the way, it can also curb the rapid rise of the "Far Eastern Royal Court" in recent years, and ensure a firm grip on the hegemony of the Golden Horn and even the Coral Sea coast.
In order to achieve the above strategic goals, the Sea Blue people need to play a role similar to the "balance game" in the conflict between the empire and the Far East, and see which side is weaker, and tilt slightly towards the other side, so as to make the two sides evenly matched, so as to lead to the defeat of both warring sides. Judging from the current situation, the naval power of the Far East side is obviously at a disadvantage, and Hailan lent Coral Harbor to the Imperial Expeditionary Fleet, which further strengthened the dominant position of the Imperial Navy, and in order to restore the balance of forces between the two sides, Hailan had to provide some help to the Far Eastern Navy.
The Far East, the Empire, and Hailan each have their own interests in the Golden Horn region, forming a complex chain of interests. If there is no superb diplomatic skill to ensure it, it is likely to make the situation of the fisherman's profit unpleasant.
Lord Parini, as the foreign secretary of the sea blue, shouldered the heavy responsibility of "walking a tightrope" during this secret visit to Parnia.
"In the conflict between the Far East and the Empire, our Hailan government is undoubtedly more sympathetic to the Far East, and there is no shortage of criticism of the Empire's barbaric invasion from both the government and the opposition, but Hailan also has its own difficulties and cannot publicly declare its support for the Far East in the name of the official, please forgive His Highness Roland." Lord Parini quietly observed the changes in the demeanor of Roland and the Vlad family, and continued with a "diplomatic" smile on his face: "From a humanitarian standpoint, we are obliged to provide some assistance to the residents of the Parnia Peninsula who are facing invasion, but due to the actual political predicament, we cannot directly send a fleet to the war, so we can only provide intelligence support in an unofficial way, I believe this will help you gain an advantage in the battle against the invasion of the Empire." ”
