Episode 15 Before the Expedition
In November of the 18th year of the Blue Star Chronicle, in the port of Haiphong County in the south of Li County, the largest naval base of the Republic Navy, a total of 11 warships of the three major fleets of the Republic Navy gathered, including three newly commissioned "Journey" class warships, 3 frigates, and 8 frigates, including almost all the new warships of the Navy. In addition www.biquge.info there are more than 40 auxiliary ships of various types in the fleet. The battleships were neatly docked on the docks, and the blue flags fluttered in the wind.
At this time, the port was extremely busy, and a large number of shore officers and men were in full swing to load all kinds of equipment for the fleet ships, and carried a large number of artillery shells, coal, water, and various daily necessities onto the warships. In the barracks outside the harbor, thousands of Navy and Marine Corps officers and men are ready to board the warship.
Because of the strong demand of the people, the Congress, after discussion, had to issue an order urging the Cannaic government to send troops to the pirates on the reef. Under the pressure of Congress and the people, Kangnai had to officially launch the battle plan against the Troubled Reef Island. After a period of preparation, the Lingyun Naval Base concentrated most of the forces of the Navy of the Republic. At the same time, the army also sent a regiment of more than 10,000 people, and it is clear that the government's goal is not only to defeat the pirate navy at sea, but to land on the reef island and completely solve this maritime threat that has plagued Gui for many years.
On a high tower near the port military base, a dignified man with a sturdy figure was looking majestically at the busy military port below, and he looked up at the sea in the south from time to time, with a trace of doubt and worry in his eyes.
This man is none other than Linda, who has just come out of retreat. Shortly after the establishment of the Republic of Fan Xiu was announced, Lin Da believed that the situation in the country had eased at this time, and the internal and external threats had subsided, and he did not need his support for the time being, so he decided to retreat and cultivate to a higher level.
When Lin Da received Peng Zu's inheritance, his body had already been eliminated from the bottleneck of his cultivation, and he was a heavenly spirit qualification in cultivation, as well as various elixirs left by Peng Zu, so he naturally made rapid progress. However, after more than a year of penance, with the help of countless treasures in the Qiankun bag, he first easily cultivated to the peak of the middle stage of the Dan Realm, and then made persistent efforts, not long ago, he actually broke through to the peak of the late stage of the Dan Realm in one go.
After reaching the peak of the late Dan Realm, Linda's strength was not only greatly enhanced, but he could also cast more magical powers and spells, and many magic weapons in the Qiankun bag could also be used freely.
Regarding the matter of Linda's retreat, everyone in the Blue Star Autonomous Group was tight-lipped about it, and only the members of the Convention Association knew about it. Many people in the Congress were very curious about this: Why did Linda, who had just been appointed Archmage of the Republic, miss several meetings of the Congress? During the campaign against the Troubled Reef Islands that swept the whole country, why didn't the first person in the Republic come out to express his position? Where did he go? No one knew that Linda had already been in retreat at this moment. However, even if someone guessed, they never expected that Lin Da would be able to break through to the peak of the late stage of the Dan Realm in such a short period of time.
Originally, Lin Da planned to continue his cultivation in retreat because he had just touched some of the Infant Realm's doorways not long ago. But a few days ago, he received a secret order signed by Connell and Arden, recounting the major events that had happened in the country during this time, hoping that he would be able to leave the customs as soon as possible and lead the army to attack the Troubled Reef.
Naturally, Linda did not hesitate or oppose this order, but he was puzzled by the content of this order.
"Why do you want to start a war against the country of Jiapu and capture the island of Troubled Reef? This is not a simple matter, but can our current national strength support such a big war?" asked Lin Da to another old man in his fifties with a solemn and majestic appearance.
This person is none other than Connell, as the Prime Minister of the Republic, although he is forced to do so, he naturally has no choice but to start a war.
"For what? Of course, it is to clear the surrounding security threats and break through the obstacles to return to Blue Star Island. Of course, there are also the expectations of the people, and the most important thing is the resolution voted on by the National Assembly. Connell teasingly listed some examples, then suddenly changed his tone and said, "But... We felt that there was something suspicious about the whole incident. Quite possibly, someone is deliberately pushing us in the direction we are now, trying to put us in some kind of predicament. ”
"Oh?" Linda was taken aback, turned to Kangnai, and asked suspiciously, "Is this true? Could it be that the Gui clan is the ghost of the people?"
Kang Nai nodded, shook his head again, and said, "Who else in the Gui Kingdom will oppose us except the Gui and the Four Tribes?, but they are clever, using the legitimate status of the opposition party to stir up hatred and belligerence among the people against the pirates of the Troubled Reef Island, and use the will of the people to force us to declare war, and at the same time increase their prestige. What a bunch of opportunistic bastards!"
Linda was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Why are these two clans doing this? Why are they instigating us to go to war against the country of Koura, and what good is it for them?"
