The navy of the Erathia Empire has a long history, as early as the beginning of the empire, the navy has been established, and then after continuous development, in order to further strengthen the strength of the navy, the empire also built a special military port dock, in the time of a certain emperor, he also sent people to the Enlos continent to learn shipbuilding technology, because at that time, the Rigner pirates have not risen on the sea, the shipbuilding technology of the Enlos continent is world-famous.

Then the Empire built a large shipyard, which was at the height of its navy, with more than 200 warships at one point, but this glory did not last long, as the Rigner pirates soon began their hegemony at sea.

During that period, the Imperial Navy and the Rigna pirates clashed at sea, but in the early stage, the Imperial Navy won more and lost less, and later as the pirates continued to invest their forces in this area, the Imperial Navy finally began a series of defeats.

This situation angered the emperor of the empire at that time, who wanted to strengthen the navy and spread the glory of the empire to the sea, and spent a lot of money to form a huge fleet that he considered invincible, and the warships used in this fleet were the best warships that the empire's technical power could build at that time, and the soldiers were also the elite drawn from various forces, with an experienced admiral as the commander, and then this huge fleet of nearly two hundred warships swore to go to sea to fight the Rigner pirates, And one day a fierce confrontation with the main fleet sent by the Rigner pirates to fight for this sea area.

This massive naval battle turned out to be the most painful lesson of defeat for the Imperial Navy, as the vast Imperial Navy fleet was wiped out by the more powerful Rigner Pirates' main fleet, and after a day and a night of fierce fighting, the largest Imperial fleet in history was left with only one scarred warship and escaped back to the Empire.

At this time, there happened to be another palace coup within the empire, the emperor who was bent on marching into the sea was poisoned by his brother, and the empire was replaced by a new emperor, the new emperor disdained the navy and was indifferent to the failure of the navy.

For a long time after that, the Imperial Navy has not been valued at home, the Empire is too rich, so rich that the Empire is indifferent to the huge interests of the sea, the royal family and nobles are satisfied with the status quo of the Empire, and are not willing to waste time and money on the sea, on those pirates who dare not invade the land, on those who think that the mud cannot support the wall, and at the same time, the hostile forces from the mainland also force the Emperor to shift his focus back to the land again.

So the Imperial Navy had to remain silent, with the loss of years, the people who once had their hearts to the sea grew old, or left, leaving behind all the people who were messing around, the Navy became more and more decadent, and finally, it became a place where the Empire exiled some untimely and uneasy guys in disguise, and the Empire's various investments in the Navy became less and less, and in the end, some disgruntled admirals began to secretly reap benefits for themselves at sea, they colluded with pirates to help sell stolen goods, Buy the goods stolen by the pirates at a low price, sell them to black-hearted merchants who come and go at sea at a high price, or secretly pull them to the land to sell, and some people also become temporary mercenaries at sea, using the naval fleet to escort merchant ships for a fee, they ignore the glory of the imperial ** team and the majesty of the empire, and are bent on making money.

During Catherine's reign, she hated this situation, and once made a ruthless effort to rectify the navy, and finally made the navy a little more decent, Catherine actually had the heart to revive the majesty of the imperial navy, but not long after the end of the war, the vitality of the empire had not been restored, and money had to be used everywhere, and Catherine had no way to invest too much in the navy that was not needed for a while, so now although the atmosphere of the imperial navy has improved a lot, the strength has not been improved.

It was only this time, in order to deal with Jian Chen at sea, that the navy regained domestic attention, under the order of the regent Kendall, the shipyard that was restarted during the Catherine period was busy again, some new warships were added to the navy, the old warships were also refurbished, the manpower was also replenished, and some capable admirals were promoted, in short, Kendal hoped to make the navy form a strong combat force as soon as possible, but the regent who knew nothing about naval warfare did not realize it, In fact, this kind of temporary cramming does not help much to improve the combat effectiveness of the navy.

"I heard that the reason why the Ragner pirates suddenly withdrew from this sea area a while ago was because they were afraid of this fleet of the Hammondale Race Alliance, you all know about the formation of a combined fleet by the pirates last year, right? More than 200 warships, that's called a majesty! As a result, I entered the Crescent Moon Strait and didn't come back! Later, I heard from a pirate leader I knew that this combined fleet chased a fleet of the alliance into the Crescent Moon Strait and was ambushed by the other party not long after, and the whole army was wiped out! So if you want me to see, we will definitely not be able to fight this battle at sea, and our current strength can be compared to the combined fleet of the Rigner pirates at that time? We only have more than 60 warships in total! ”

"Are you too embarrassed to mention our broken battleship? Most of them are outdated old warships! Due to the unskilled skills of the newly built warships, the rush of work is also a lot of problems! Such a battleship is not even as good as the standard battleships of the Rigner pirates, both in speed and firepower, it is so much worse! And what about our enemies? Oh my God, they have a magical warship that even the Rigner pirates don't have without sails! Listen to those who are familiar with these warships on merchant ships and say that this kind of warship should not look scary in size, but it can be called fast when it runs on the sea! Others said to see the black dragon take off from those battleships! That's a black dragon that is immune to magic! With such a far difference in equipment, can this battle still be fought? Someone can take advantage of their speed to kill us at sea! ”

"Don't mention the speed, I will come to the fire when I mention the speed, the personal hands that came from the top this time, said to be the elite, one by one doesn't even understand the fart, at a glance, you know that they have never been on the boat, or they are only in the inland lake to mix the chicks who don't know the wind and waves, that day I took the fleet to the sea for a turn, and the result was a lot of seasick people, one by one vomited on the face that called a white and blue, but also some clumsy guys, a sail to get a long time, the wind and waves of the ship swayed, I can't stand on the boat again! It took me more than half a day to bring the fleet back to port, and if I didn't train them for four or five months, I would immediately take them to the sea to fight, not to mention increasing the combat effectiveness of the navy, and I would be thankful that it would not become a burden! ”

"Speaking of these people who have been transferred, I think those griffin knights and angels are not bad, not to mention the others, I also have a little problem with the level of those priests, why do they all look like stunned young people who have been on the battlefield for the first time?"

"The veterans are either in Hammondal, or they are in Titalia, and how can the rest of the guys on the shore give up to us, the navy, which has never been welcomed, and don't look at them pretending to be generous in transferring people to us, and secretly hating us! Now that the Imperial garrisons everywhere are short of troops, and the regent is also confused, does he really think that with a paper order, those people will really transfer the elites under his command to our navy? ”

In a special port of the Imperial Navy, in the command room of an imperial warship, six familiar admirals sat around the table, drinking the good wine that someone bought from the shore, while complaining about what you said.

These admirals were of different ranks, some were commanders of a fleet, some were only the commanders of a certain warship, but they all had one thing in common, that is, they were all officers who were promoted during Catherine's reorganizing the navy.

They belong to the kind of capable and practical generals, all of whom expect to be able to do something for the empire at sea with their own skills, but Catherine's resignation has made their ambitions have no chance to be realized, Kendall does not attach importance to the navy, this time if it is not for the attack of the alliance naval fleet, God knows if the imperial regent who always has his eyes on the land will remember that there is a navy in the emperor's ** team.

The six of them chatted for a while, they were not optimistic about the upcoming war in front of them, their eyes made them see the strength of the enemy, and also saw their many weaknesses, this is a war that will definitely be lost, and as a member of the Imperial Navy, what kind of fate will they have in this war?

"What a suffocation!" A general with a beard on his face finally couldn't help but scold, "I'm not afraid of death, if it's for His Majesty Catherine, for the empire, even if someone overturns him at sea, I admit it, but now, is this empire without His Majesty Catherine, or is it an empire?" If you want me to work hard for that bullshit new emperor and Kendall at sea, I really don't accept it! ”

The rest of the people immediately fell silent, and the person who spoke also knew that he had said something that should not be said, and he was a little embarrassed, but he also said it, he simply said it with a heart, and said all the words that had been hidden in his heart for a long time: "Actually, to be honest, I really regret that I didn't lead people to continue to follow Her Majesty Catherine like Lord Christine and Lord Sylvia, when my fleet was resting in the harbor, and if I wanted, I could immediately pull up a group of people to respond to Her Majesty Catherine, But His Majesty asked everyone not to impulsively give an order that focuses on the overall situation, and I hesitated again! Now that I think about it, it really shouldn't be! ”

"During this time, I have been pondering, why did His Majesty trust that Chen Jian so much at that time, blindly defend him, and keep Master Christine and them, so that they can help Chen Jian build such a good situation as he is now? Could it be that with His Majesty's eyes, he would not be able to see that in the future, Jian Chen would be full of wings and would have to be an enemy of the empire sooner or later? What reason did she have for doing so? The empire is her brainchild, why should she create a powerful enemy for the empire? And Lord Christine, why did they willingly give up the opportunity to leave with Lord Catherine, and instead be loyal to that Chen Jian? And help him to be an enemy of the Empire? I think you all know from the news from the pirates that the leader of the alliance naval fleet this time is none other than Lord Sylvia, who was highly valued by Her Majesty Catherine in the first place! When the navy was reorganized, she was a heavy general entrusted by His Majesty with full authority to handle all matters of the navy! What does all this mean? ”
