Not to mention how the other forces within the Kingdom Coalition viewed and analyzed the outcome of this battle, the Red Mountain Kingdom was completely immersed in a strange atmosphere. In such an important battle, no one talked about it publicly, and everyone acted as if nothing had happened.

If it were just three wooden ships chasing an ironclad ship for a day and a night, it would not be a big problem to do some propaganda guidance because the purpose of rescuing the seized ship had been achieved. But the nature of the problem was very different from the shelling of the port city, albeit just a few shells, the collapse of some old buildings and the killing of dozens of civilians.

Since there is no perfect theory of national sovereignty, no one can tell the specific difference, but they all instinctively understand that this matter will not be so simple as 'mixed'. The royal family of the kingdom must give an explanation in a short period of time, either to take revenge on the Tro Leader more forcefully, or by some other means. And during this period, if you talk nonsense, there is a ninety percent chance of dying miserably.

And what the people below understand, how can the high-level leaders of the kingdom be ignorant and unconscious, but limited to various objective circumstances, they can only use high-level meetings with a solemn atmosphere but no substantive results to helplessly delay the time.

Yisi, with his special status as an outstanding son of the royal family's side branch, wrapped in Jiao Ming and Crocodile Collar, joined the royal faction semi-naturally in this game of choosing a position, and naturally people were anxious. After all, the current king is still the distant brother of Yisi, although he almost broke up in the early days of industrialization, but now he still has to stand together in the face of other problems.

Jiao Ming looked at the anxious Yisi, also worried. But he didn't care about the fate of the Red Mountain Kingdom, after all, he was no longer interested in this kind of dog-eat-dog thing. Instead, as an acquaintance friend, he was worried that Yisi, the expectant mother, was too anxious and would affect the fetus in her womb. Although there is a suspicion of mother-in-law, I still remind a few words of relief.

"The best way to make it easy for me now is to bring the royal family back to power. ”

Jiao Ming rolled his eyes and continued the work at hand, just not hearing this unreasonable request. But Yi Si will not let Jiao Ming go, or rather, he has a little bit of a mind to beg Jiao Ming to help find a way to take out this picture. Regarding this battle, Jiao Ming showed concern before the start of the battle, but after the start of the battle, he was completely negative, even in private, he was not far from expressing the slightest opinion or suggestion on it. This made Yisi, who asked bluntly many times but to no avail, quite unhappy, but had no choice but to come up with some small means to try.

But seeing that Jiao Ming was unmoved, Yi Si pressed the document with a palm, "These little things are handed over to Dieda for review and signature, you have more important things to think about." ”

"For example?"

"How to characterize the outcome of this war. ”

"If you are not in your position, you are not in charge. ”

"It is also the duty of the subordinates to share the worries of the Lord. "Eth is unrelenting.

"Inquire if there is a resignation process for the viscount position of the Red Mountain Kingdom. ”

"Don't make jokes!"

"You just take it as a joke. Jiao Ming shrugged his shoulders and continued: "When you were out on the expedition, in view of the fact that the three views have always been unstable recently, I recalled a sage science called 'ideology and politics', and I have many new insights......

"Tell the point. Yi Si mistakenly thought that Jiao Ming was cleverly changing the subject.

"Be realistic. ”

"What do you mean. ”

Literally. As soon as these words came out, Jiao Ming had a sense of déjà vu, as if the silent personality always liked to respond to himself like this.

"You mean to admit defeat outright?"

Jiao Ming nodded.

"What are you kidding!?" Eath's voice suddenly rose and fell back to normal level: "Don't you know the consequences of this?"

"At the beginning of the Age of Magic, the Red Mountain Kingdom grew from a medium-sized country that almost died out to its current size, and you have learned all kinds of factors since childhood, so dare to ask, what do you think is the most important factor?"

This time, it was Yisi's turn to roll his eyes, and begged for mercy with the helpless expression when he called Jiao Ming 'eldest sister': "You are my 'big brother', your eyebrows are burned, let's stop talking about history?" ”

"I've been thinking lately that we've really underestimated industrialization. This is a hurdle, and it is deeper than the hurdle that opened the Magic Age hundreds of years ago, and the Red Mountain Kingdom must show more courage than it did then. Jiao Ming sorted out his thoughts as he spoke, and tapped on the document with the tip of his pen, blurring a large cloud of traces.

Yi Si pondered for a moment, frowned, and said, "Your statement is like those nurseries in gambling houses who persuade people to bet. ”

"It's all on the road of no return, and it's really the same in essence. After this reminder, Jiao Ming also had a sense of abruptness, so he simply admitted it directly.

"But I only think that the situation at home will inevitably be worse after admitting defeat. ”

This is the king's excessive pursuit of perfection, and even uses it as a cornerstone of power. On the contrary, it is like the attitude of both ends of the first rat in industrialization. In fact, no one is perfect, and making mistakes is inevitable. After a pause, Jiao Ming confirmed that Yi Si had listened to him before continuing: "Take this time as an example, it's just that the harbor has suffered a few shots, and the loss is almost none. As long as we give up the pretense of 'never making mistakes', which anyone with a discerning eye knows is a lie, and then guide public opinion a little.

For example, this is only a phased failure, the reason is that it is half a step slower on the road of industrialization, as long as it is accelerated to catch up and build an ironclad ship, Tro Ling is not afraid of Yunyun. If the 'wartime regulations' are carefully enforced instead of being used as an excuse to exclude dissidents, we may be able to be ashamed and courageous, and bad things will become good." ”

Yi Si just wanted to nod, but shook his head in denial: "That's right, and it sounds fine." But the situation in the kingdom is so complicated that I am afraid it will not be so simple. ”

"It's hard to do things, and don't expect a simple and immediate solution. And this method is better than some brain-dead clamoring, pulling up a large number of high-ring magicians and rushing to the Tro Territory to fight directly. Thinking of the faces of some war maniacs, although Jiao Ming scolded, he was also uneasy in his heart.

But seeing that Yi Si was still silent, he finally took out some words that he had never said before, and persuaded him a little 'excessively': "You are just an eight-ring, although you will inevitably enter that circle in the future, and you also want to leave a good impression on your predecessors, but it is better not to meddle in some 'dead ends'." Instead of getting involved and getting into trouble now, it is better to accumulate more experience in industrialization, and later stand up and use industrialization to clean up the mess, which will ...... More earning. ”

Yisi's eyebrows twitched, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't know whether he was seeing through some thoughts, or considering this rather cold personal political approach.

There was silence in the study.

"Can industrialization really pick up the pieces?"

"The crocodile collar and the tro collar are proof. "This is only the part of what is said, and what Jiao Ming didn't say is the difficulty of 'coming from behind', the huge size of the Hongshan Kingdom is both an advantage and a disadvantage, and the residual poison of feudalism is very heavy, and the system is completely unfavorable to outstanding engineering talents to get ahead, and basic education is not accepted. If you want to successfully clean up the mess and gain huge political prestige, it is not an ordinary obstacle and long.

Yisi's eyes wandered, and he politely said goodbye and left, but because of the wandering object, he struggled with the doorknob a few times before opening the door, and forgot to close the door with his backhand.

The next day, Yisi retouched this set of proposals, and it sank into the sea as expected. Two days later, the king announced the strengthening of the maritime forces and the upgrading of the power of the existing ships.

What surprised Jiao Ming was that from Yisi's family intelligence, he learned that the power upgrade plan came from the Magician Association, but the price was actually his own industrialization plan. Obviously, the rise of the Tro Collar actually made the Wizards' Guild also have some interest in industrialization.

Of course, this undoubtedly shows that speed is a weakness in disguise, and to Evan, who is in dire need of a higher prestige, it sounds like a formal admission that he has no power to fight back. It didn't waste time, and that night he carried out another round of artillery bombardment on a harbor city, and by the way, killed a gas system eight rings that flew out of the harbor and wanted to single-handedly take on the ironclad ship. And after such a result was deliberately amplified, it was transmitted back to the Tro Territory, and it was rare for the people to 'shout long live', and with the propaganda about the bittersweet memories of memories, the people's tolerance for certain things was greatly increased.

On the other hand, on the side of the Red Mountain Kingdom, it is even worse. The 'curfew', which was originally only on paper, was effectively enforced, and while condemning this provocation, all the seized merchants were beheaded in Clear Water Castle.

To be honest, killing a few merchants had little impact on the Tro Territory's side, and few people even knew about it under the strict control of public opinion. The real purpose is to deter the country, after all, such a bloody public execution is rare in the history of the Red Mountain Kingdom.

Some people feel the determination of the royal family, while others don't. Two days later, on the bloodstained execution table, the whole family of sixteen members of a baron's family was separated under the complicated gaze of everyone, accused of collaborating with the enemy and treason.

Since the implementation of the New Monetary Deal, although there have been many people who have been secretly executed in the dungeons, many more have been released, and some of them will clarify the 'misunderstanding' and make up for a small amount of rewards, so as to maintain harmony on face. But this time, in order to torture and kill the nobles in public, in addition to killing chickens and monkeys and completely tearing their faces, there is also a layer of determination to no longer care about the dignity of the nobles.

With stronger means to subdue the country, but unable to let go of the ironclad ships that might shell the port at any time, the royal family of the kingdom immediately sent large and small ships carrying high-ring magicians to wander in the coastal waters.

Both internally and externally, there is a constant use of troops, and there is naturally a shortage of magicians, and even several platoons of the new army that are still training in Jiao Ming's viscount have also received orders to go to Qingshui City to maintain law and order, but I don't know how much role these low-level magicians who are cannon fodder can play.

The emergence of the new army was entirely based on the advocacy of Yisi, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a direct subordinate unit of Yisi. Yisi, who had a clumsy mind, found Jiao Ming and jointly held a send-off banquet, with unlimited food and drink, and a singing and dancing performance transferred by Ms. Ziyu from the entertainment city to help the fun, and had a happy night.

The next day, these new troops with hangovers on their faces walked into the portal, and on the side of Clear Water City, all parties naturally despised it when they saw such a team of middle and low-ring magicians.

But alas, as the so-called gold shines everywhere. Yi Si can't let the new army row openly or secretly, so those who want to rise one step higher must seize the opportunity to perform. It was only three days, and after a few street battles, the neighborhood where the low-ring artisans in charge of the New Army gathered could be said to be banned, and everyone was silent. The wartime ordinances were most thoroughly enforced amid the complaints of the residents of the neighborhood.

Jiao Ming and Yisi, who saw the report, could only look at each other and smile bitterly, and then reported to the higher authorities that a large number of residents in the ecological community had moved in and needed to maintain law and order, and requested that some new troops be dispatched for support. At the same time, in spite of the voluntary efforts of the commanders of the new army, the system of rotational leave was implemented to create a vacancy in the troops. In this way, the achievements of the new army were finally made less conspicuous, or 'less hated'.

In this way, after some time, the Red Mountain Kingdom and the Tro Territory have been entangled at sea, and the battle situation has been constantly transmitted back to China. Internally, it was claimed that it was a local ironclad ship that had repeatedly repelled bad intentions, but the actual situation was that it continued to lose ships and manpower, but nothing was gained.

Gradually, Tro Ling also seemed to have figured out the reality here, and the third ironclad ship also appeared in the sea outside the Red Mountain Kingdom, and even sank two patrol ships with three Nine Rings in the air. If it weren't for the fact that the high-ring magicians had their own means to escape or temporarily save their lives, and called for support through the telegram box in time, the massive losses of the high-ring magicians would have been enough to completely crush the prestige of the royal family.
