May 22, 1029 at 6 a.m. in the steam calendar.

As the specific information of the attack on the Hukou Strait was transmitted back to the capital of Oka, in this dark concrete forest city, horse-drawn carriages rushed through the city with lights on.

The Imperial Council of Oka urgently convened a supreme military council. And this meeting, Her Majesty the Empress 'was 'sick' and did not attend.

Since the empress's mother is not at home, all parties can make it hard.

The meeting did not go smoothly at the beginning, and all parties seemed to come to the meeting with an attitude of quarreling and throwing the blame.

On the naval side, Lantao Kona, speaking on behalf of the Naval Group, took the opportunity to assert that the Imperial Navy must now devote a lot of energy to dealing with the underwater threat, so it will suspend military operations in the Shuangqiu area.

As soon as this remark came out, the civilian clique was immediately in an uproar, accusing the navy of ignoring the overall situation and abandoning the interests of the empire.

Civilian: The missile threat is still in the west, and the navy must be forced to go over and drive Binghe away, otherwise this day will not be possible.

However, in the face of doubts in Congress, Lantao Kona asked the two captains to spread out the charts.

This high-ranking professional pointed to the area east of the map and introduced the movements of the Saint Sauk Empire's Mediterranean Fleet after the West incident.

Lan Tao Kona: "The navy has a big mission, and now there is no spare energy to accompany it. ”

What the admiral said is quite reasonable, given the power of submarine ambush warfare now, it is absolutely impossible for the Navy to ignore anti-submarine in the next operation.

Although the nuclear submarine attack was not enough to completely destroy the Oka navy, it eventually became the last brick to break down the Oka political cooperation system.

Now it has been decided within the Oka Navy to organize a group of anti-submarine frigates to minimize the threat of submarines by repeatedly patrolling the fairways. But in doing so, Okka's naval power is otherwise overstretched.

Now the Oka Navy is not just going to fight West's submarines. After the start of the West Incident, the St. Sock Navy was the main target of the Oka Navy. And now to maintain an artillery landing operation on the Shuangqiu Heights, the stalls are too big, the lines are too long, and there are too many loopholes.

And if there is a lapse in one link, it is not impossible to knock out a battleship by a submarine. Therefore, Lantao Kona now asks for manpower in the parliament to build escort warships on a large scale.

[Because there is no consensus on the overall war within Oka, it is very difficult to make decisions to increase investment and expand the war now. 】

Binghe scattered so many leaflets before the war, making the entire Oka country feel that the current war is just a personal grudge between the high-ranking families such as Ice Floe, Lin Yin and the guy Gun Flame Binghe, as long as the upper echelons of the empire and the genius fortress of the Gun Flame family have a good talk, there is no need to fight so fiercely.

Especially in the last few days, the guns have not been bombing much, but they have thrown leaflets in the city, repeatedly denouncing the despicable and shameless acts of "assassination" and "betrayal". Under such an information offensive, Oka felt that there was no need for the war to continue to intensify.

Therefore, these small and medium-sized nobles in Oka have a tendency to compromise with this war in their hearts, hoping to solve this contradiction at the lowest cost.

Therefore, the Oka government is now not only unable to increase the war budget, but also has to deal with the opposition of the middle and low-level nobles.

Of course, the way for the small and medium-sized nobles to express their "opposition" is by no means to stand up and denounce the big aristocracy, but to not cooperate with the rule of the top in the current chaotic situation, such as hoarding a large number of materials and concealing them, raising prices and seeking huge profits.

Oka is a constitutional monarchy, and its social organization is completely incomparable to that of modern society. In this chaotic crisis, they are unable to conduct detailed social investigations.

When there was a crisis in the supply of goods in the market within the Oka Empire, it was difficult for the big men in the upper echelons of the empire to effectively manage the domestic situation. Now, even the Imperial military is plagued by a lack of supplies.

And these Qiu Ba don't care what the consequences, once they find out which merchant is selling materials, they will directly requisition.

This behavior exacerbated the market crisis, and the merchants panicked and withdrew their supplies from the big cities and transported them to the noble territories that protected them. Now the Oka domestic market is on the verge of collapse.

And the nobles who control a large amount of materials are also worried, they are worried that the matter will be long-term and affect their family interests. Therefore, while tightening their control over key supplies, they also began to mobilize political forces to demand that the upper echelons of the empire properly resolve this conflict.

Returning to the meeting, the Navy had just finished making its request, and the face of Oka's civilian clique immediately became very ugly. Order in the Oka country has not been restored, the situation is so difficult, and the Navy is now directly threatening the cabinet!

Before he could finish hearing about the Navy's funding plan, the Prime Minister began to denounce it directly.

This annoyed the newly appointed admiral of the Navy, who pointed directly at the prime minister's nose and began to abuse: "Today's gunfire?? Binghe, the mechanical controller of the Imperial Navy brought to the port of Toulon in the Mediterranean, why did this person leave Oka? Why get rid of the Imperial Mission in Vikla? Why is Wicks so angry that he is an enemy of the Empire? It's all because of you! Steal a high position! Inferior morality! Jealousy can! You national thief! ”

The Prime Minister was Lan Tao?? Kona's blood pressure rose and his face turned blue.

Seeing that the young fortress of the Lan Tao family was scolding more and more ugly, Duke Lin Yin on the side wanted to persuade him, but who knew that this General Lan Tao directly turned his finger and pointed at the old marshal of the army, and scolded together: "The imperial army has strong artillery, and you are waiting for horse manure and horseman, holding a sword to steal and divide the bag, why don't you shave for prostitution?" ”

Next, it's time for the fist conversation. Today's Oka Council fist collision was particularly violent, and the sound could be heard throughout the aisle.

The Empress was clutching a strand of bloody hair across the walls of the conference hall, while the stripped dog was hiding in a cage with her tail between her legs, not daring to approach the angry old woman.

[Compared to the chaos in the capital of Oka, the sky on St. Sauk's side is exceptionally clear. 】

In the royal palace residence on the top floor of the Celestial Tower.

"Rattle", the ice cubes hit the glass, making a crisp sound. His Majesty Jialong's mood was as hearty as the sound of ice cubes colliding.

The Emperor put down his glass of ice and lay down on the couch as he watched the realistic Wester War play on the movie screen.

Aerial airship bombing, cruising airships and ground airships breaking through to occupy railway stations, bridges, and traffic arteries.

The emperor watched this image many times, but he still didn't get bored of watching it.

When the footage of the annihilation of the army in the south of Pratt & Whitney was played, His Majesty picked up the cup and stood up, looking at the map shown on the movie screen, at the high-altitude airship on the moving map of hundreds of kilometers in a line slowly panning, and at the arrows representing the cavalry on the ground.

His Majesty the Emperor stared at the movie curtain and fell into deep thought.

"Huge armies were scattered under the fire of the sky, and valuable mechanized infantry regiments were hit with precision before they even reached the battlefield. How should future wars be fought? The Emperor couldn't help but ask himself in confusion.

"Bell, bell", the knock on the door interrupted the emperor's thoughts.

The servants of the royal family respectfully walked in and handed over the latest information. The emperor looked at the specific battle damage of the capital ships in the Hukou harbor area.

After confirming the number of losses of the Oka Empire, the Emperor took a deep breath and instructed the servants beside him: "I will send a telegram to the port of Potan and prepare paper and pen for me. ”

[May 26, 1029 in the steam calendar, the fifth day after the raid on the Hukou Strait. 】

As the submarine forces returned to the port one by one, and the members of the submarine who had been sitting in front of the harbor were rescued, the port became more and more busy. And with the arrival of the Saint Saurus Imperial Support Fleet at Sea Crab Harbor, the 15th Division of Saint Saur arrived in West, which almost squeezed out every manpower in the entire Sea Crab Harbor.

Dockyard workers overhaul the ship, and dock workers control the dock machinery to move goods. All the cooks in the city were also gathered and prepared food for the workers all night in the kitchens of the docks. Even the prostitutes in the city had to work hard because of the arrival of the St. Sock GIs.

Of course, although the whole city was hard, no one complained about their exhaustion. Because everyone in the port, from the nobles to the beggars, knew that a huge war dividend was coming. The most immediate reflection of the signs of prosperity is the price of land, which is now swishing upwards even in the slums.

But how should such a large war dividend be divided? On the night of the 26th, a large number of local nobles, high-ranking officers of St. Sauce, and nobles from other parts of West gathered in the Scarlet Villa on the southeast side of Sea Crab Harbor. Takon, the head of the Blood Rose family, hosted the feast.

Since Binghe was presiding over the transfer of prisoners of war with Pratt & Whitney in the north and was going to welcome back to His Majesty Willy, he did not attend, which made the members present very regretful, of course, more apprehensive.

The aristocrats, who had not had time to make the right choice before the war, now wanted to find out at this banquet. At the same time, the nobles in West are inextricably linked by marriage, and they need allies to help them in the next dividends.

"Everyone, the first cup, I wish Binghe a constant victory and undefeated!" Taku, who was presiding over the banquet, raised his glass to Haruka Kita and said the usual opening words. Everyone in the room raised their glasses.

"Second cup, I wish the Gangluan family evergreen!" Then there was a group drink.

"Third cup, wish His Majesty Emperor St. Sock, St. Ann!" Then the glass was raised to the east. Everyone repeated this sentence like a repeater.

When the above-mentioned political words complimenting the superior were finished, the nobles at the banquet began to discuss Xiao Jiujiu among themselves.

It's the same as when a large gathering is held on Earth, the opening sentence is "What banner is held high, and under what great leadership, how are we?"

Roaring this politically correct voice, as a talisman to keep peace, people who are afraid of hitting ghosts always worship the Buddha more.
