0390 Fall of the Empire
"How dare they!"
In the ruler's hall, Emperor Gevra kicked over the lampstand next to the throne, and the pure gold lampstand rolled down the steps, and the people avoided it.
At this time, his expression was extremely hideous and distorted, and the First Fleet was almost completely annihilated, this was not what happened in the war, and the first time he heard the news, he thought that someone else was joking with him.
But when he confirmed the truth of this matter, the whole person fell into a state of mania.
What made him angry was not the destruction of the fleet, but the fact that they had lost.
Once the invincible fleet loses, the countries that have been pressed by Gevra will have a change, and Gavra's international status will be threatened like never before.
Gevra had negotiated a lot of diplomatic cooperation with their invincible fleet...... No, this is not diplomatic cooperation, but more like a kind of bullying force and coercion.
Now all this is shattered because of the Federation, who have proved that they have found a way to limit the Armada, and Gavra has lost the initiative.
Once the countries that have been coerced by force and have lost huge profits take the initiative to unite around the federation and form a new international interest group with the federation as the core, they will be qualified to challenge Gevre's global position.
Gavra is not a country with a vast territory, it is just an island, there are no rich inland resources, there is not enough strategic depth, once Gavra loses all its interests overseas, their war potential will be compressed to the extreme in an instant.
In this world war, the purpose of Gavra's frenzied attack was not to have an irresolvable hatred with those countries, but to find a solution to their domestic predicament.
Territorial expansion may be the best solution, and they are also trying to gain more territory in a concession that does not over-stimulate the invasion of Chiguoguo.
That will only create hatred that cannot be resolved, and the resistance of the lower society will be greater, which is not in line with their interests at this stage.
But now, with the fall of the First Fleet, the foundation of it all had lost its edge, and Emperor Gevra could already imagine that the ugly little bugs would soon be sending a diplomatic note.
"Send the Second and Third Fleets to besiege the Federation's fleets and bombard their homeland!", cried the Emperor of Gavra, who walked up and down the steps of the throne, "to their homeland, and let them repent of their stupidity in the flames of war!"
There was no sound in the hall except the voice of Emperor Gefra, and no one answered.
It wasn't until his mood stabilized a little that the Minister of Defense stepped forward, "Your Majesty, we don't have the ability to fight a long war with the Baile people until we can't deal with their new torpedoes. ”
"Secondly, if you decide to start this war, then Gavra will inevitably be burned to the ground, and they have mastered the sword of the dragon slayer. ”
The Secretary of State bent down, "I'm sorry I described us as dragons?" Describe the Federalists as warriors who slay dragons? But this is the current international situation. ”
"How tough were we on the outside world, and now those attitudes will turn into evil inflicted on us? The most important thing we need to do now is not to take revenge on the Federalists? It's about consolidating what we have left, and our position in the world!"
"Compared to revenge on the Federalists? The stability of the province of Amilia is what we really need to pay attention to!"
The face of the Secretary of State is very bad? But also serious? There is no value or point in holding accountable or launching retaliatory military action after it has happened now.
It is even possible that the retaliatory military action will cause further battle damage to the Gavra Navy, and then the face will only be more ugly, and the last old capital will be lost.
So in the opinion of the Secretary of Defense? Problems with the Federalists? It is better to leave it to the foreign secretary to remedy the disadvantage through diplomatic work.
And their real focus is still on suppressing the unrest in the province of Amilia, as long as the province is not in chaos, they will be able to continue to have access to the rich resources of this region? Reserve enough strength and base for the next war.
Emperor Gavra picked up the glass and threw it at the Minister of Defense, even though it was also made of gold? But the Secretary of State did not hide.
At this time, avoiding the emperor's anger will only anger the emperor even more, and he will be beaten alive? The cup smashed on his calf, and he immediately took a cool breath? But it also made the emperor gradually calm down.
"Our losses this time are entirely due to some serious lag in intelligence? Secretary of War ......"? The Minister of War stood up with his head bowed, "I will not punish you for anything, but will give you more appropriations, I only have one request." ”
"From today onwards, I want you to throw all the best intelligence officers in the empire to the Federation, and I want to know all their things, military capabilities, and technological development...... , all the cutting-edge news!"
The War Minister bent down, "As you wish, Your Majesty." ”
Emperor Gavra nodded, "In addition, inform all shipyards that except for the construction plan of the three battleships, the rest of the production plans will be disposed of, isn't there anyone who wants to buy our ships?"
"Yes, Your Majesty!", someone replied affirmatively.
"Then let them pay for it, and we will continue to build it for them, or give them the disposal that we don't have in hand now......"
Now their construction plans are based on the knowledge of military technology before this naval battle, and now it turns out that these warships have huge hidden dangers, and there is no point in continuing to build.
Of course, battleships are different, battleships have enough carrying capacity, so most battleships have extended pendant slots, and they can perfectly modify it slightly to add protection below the waterline to the battleship against torpedo attacks.
But the other warships can't, so just sell them.
Having regained his composure, the Emperor began to show his political prowess, arranging affairs in an orderly manner, and the Minister of Defence and the Prime Minister shared some of his mental work with him.
Until the end, Emperor Gavra was suddenly stunned, "...... I've always forgotten to ask about it, why are we suddenly going to have a naval war with the Federation?"
The Admiralty Chancellor was silent, but the eyes of the others were already on him.
Gavra's system is different from that of the Federation, where there is no public election system, and the selection of officials comes from two sources.
The first is the nominating voting system, in which a number of nominations are given when a predecessor leaves office, and then a small group of votes are taken.
This system of tenure is mostly found in the middle and lower levels of the Gevra government, and the factors that determine whether a nominee can succeed him or not mainly depend on whether the successor is a member of a certain faction, and the faction problem in Gevrela's system is particularly serious.
The second way is suitable for middle and high-level management, and that is the emperor appointment system, where the emperor can directly appoint an official, even if the official has not done the work he needs to do before, but as long as the emperor trusts him.
The former is too far away from the top rulers, but the latter is what happens in the main hall, and once a person gains absolute trust in the eyes of the emperor, then he is likely to sit in one position for the rest of his life.
People living in this world will definitely have friends, but there will also be enemies, and when the emperor asked about it, those who usually did not deal with the Minister of the Navy turned their eyes to him.
Emperor Gavra was keenly aware of all this, but he pretended not to know, "Didn't anyone speak?", his eyes scanned the ministers, and the ministers who were within his sight bowed their heads in submission, "I'll figure it out......"
He paused as he spoke, "...... What's the next thing we're going to discuss?", he staggered the topic.
At noon, while he was eating, he summoned the officers of the Special Inspectorate to "find out why the Secretary of the Navy had encouraged us to fight this naval battle with the Commoners......
At the same time, the Admiralty, who hurried back to the mansion, went to the basement and opened a safe, which contained a telephone that only he knew, the line came from outside his mansion, and no one would know that the number was actually used by him.
He dialed a very special number, and after a few seconds, whispered, "Get rid of Preton as soon as possible, or we'll all be in danger......"
"Also, get the data on the Federalist submarine and the new torpedo as soon as possible, only then can I get through this crisis!"
If he can get all the parameters of the submarine and the new torpedo, the Imperial Research Institute will have the possibility of pushing back, which is also a huge credit.
It's just that the tone of the person on the phone seems to be a little strange, "You must be in a hurry, so you didn't rush to watch TV......"
The Admiralty Chancellor immediately hung up the phone and turned on the television, where the news was playing, in which the host briefly recounted the naval battle that had taken place, and also mentioned what the Admiralty Chancellor wanted.
data on submarines, but also on new torpedoes......
No one could have imagined that the Federation would list all these data, which would plunge all the countries of the world into some kind of madness, as long as they had these data and deduced them in reverse.
Even if they can't directly reproduce the submarines and new torpedoes that determined the outcome of this naval battle, they can still make great progress in their research in related fields!
The Federation is so arrogant, the Royal Navy, which has just defeated Gavra, dares to release such high-profile data, aren't they afraid at all?
Of course, they are not afraid, because the data is, in a sense, true.
In other words, at this stage, the data is too advanced.
It's like a person who has not yet learned to walk and wants him to run, and he can't do anything except constant wrestling.
But the research of military science and technology is not as simple as running, and failure is not as easy as wrestling, and every failure means that a lot of resources are consumed in vain, which means that they are going further and further on the wrong path!
