Heather, the commander of the Imperial Navy's East Sea Fleet, was scolded early in the morning by his immediate superior, Imperial Navy Minister Kemp. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The reason for this is because Egret Harbor was suddenly attacked by the magic cannon last night, although it did not suffer much damage.

Some of the buildings in the port and several warships docked in the port were damaged, but the impact of this incident was very bad.

Their Imperial Navy had just defeated the Rose Family's navy, and they were holding a celebration party, and everyone was looking forward to entering the Rose City.

The Rose family's territory has always been the richest southeastern part of the empire, amassing generations of wealth, gentry, and active trade.

Once the city of roses is invaded, those poor officers can definitely make a lot of money, and the reason why Rhaegar did something to the Rose family.

With the exception of the little-known royal secrets, it is widely believed that he was trying to consolidate his position and plundering his wealth.

After all, in the early days of the battle for the throne, most people were not optimistic that he would be able to have the last laugh, whether it was Leo or Layton, their strength was stronger than him.

Even with Wren's help, Rhaegar would be able to compete with Leoledon at most, and his strength would not be enough to defeat Leoledon and the others.

But in just over two years, in addition to Wren's ability to fight well, an important reason is that Rhaega is willing to spend money, in order to win the support of the major local nobles, he not only promised a lot of privileges, but also spent a lot of money to buy.

After more than two years of civil war, the wealth accumulated by the former Emperor Raymond after more than 20 years of prosperity was basically squandered by Raygar.

Not only that, but he also went to various places to collect heavy taxes, forcibly conscripted young and strong men to join the army, and in order to win the civil war, he almost drained the blood of the empire.

Although the aftermath of the civil war was Leo's defeat and his fate unknown, and Leighton retreated to the western part of the empire, Rhaegar also paid a huge price.

The entire empire is devastated, the borders are unstable, the borders are full of thieves, the people are struggling to make a living, and the people of the empire are increasingly resentful of him, the new emperor.

But Rhaegar didn't care about this at all, and according to the blueprint he had drawn, he had to put down the civil strife first and consolidate his throne with a tough stance.

And then go back to appease these people, and want them to live and work in peace and contentment, and want to seize the world, which is simply not possible at the same time.

In this case, if the huge wealth of the Southern Rose family can be snatched, it can greatly alleviate the current financial crisis facing the Empire, especially since Rhaegar borrowed a huge amount of money from the giants of the Southern Demok Federation behind the back of the Imperial Minister to pay for the war costs.

If he fails to repay the loan in time, it will also be a big problem for Rhaegar, who desperately needs the wealth of the Rose family to fill the shortfall.

This series of reasons led to the fact that the empire's battle against the Rose family this time was only allowed to win and not lose, and if something went wrong.

For Rhaegar who can barely catch his breath, it will cause a total collapse! It's just that very few people know about these things.

On the surface, it is still a good situation for Rhaegar to dominate the empire, and even these imperial soldiers who go out on the expedition think so.

"Are you saying that the warship that attacked us last night flew the Black Snake flag of the Far East? Are you right? Where did the warship come from in the Far East?"

Heather was furious when she was told by her subordinates that the ships that had attacked the harbor last night had come from the Far East, and she was stunned.

"It's true, that's the flag of the Far East, yes, I wonder if the Far East has never had a navy, this fleet seems to have appeared out of thin air, don't they know that this is the fleet of our empire? ”

The staff officer was also puzzled by this, and the establishment of warships in various places was registered in the Imperial Maritime Office, and there was no establishment in the Far East.

And the speed of those ships was so fast, twice as fast as theirs, it was like lightning on the sea.

Even the best boatsmith, the lightest assault boat, can't have that kind of speed.

"If I'm not mistaken, Duke Linye of the Far East and His Royal Highness Wendy have a marriage contract, and this Highness Wendy once announced it in public in the court, could it be that he came south to rescue the Rose family for His Royal Highness Wendy?" Heather thought with a frown.

The East China Sea Fleet is the largest fleet in the Empire, and Heather's status is very high in the navy, so it is not surprising to know some inside information.

"Last night, we just took advantage of our unpreparedness to suffer a little loss, and now we have sent someone to check where they docked, once they find it, it will definitely make them unable to eat and walk, but we have a full two hundred warships, how can it be our opponent?"

The staff officer defended beside him, he was completely confident in the strength of the Imperial Navy, which was a behemoth on the sea.

"That's right, even if they gather shipwrights to build warships temporarily, but a group of untrained sailors are just a rabble, and the reason why their ships are so fast should be that the hull is too light, and the relationship between the wind direction and the current, the defense of the ship that is too light is insufficient. ”

Heather pondered for a moment, he was an experienced old man in the navy after all, and immediately analyzed the reason that could be explained.

"It's just that these boats are as thin as the paper that has become popular lately, and they can easily shredd, and they are killing themselves. ”

The staff officer chimed in, he was worried that he had not accumulated his merits in the previous naval battles, but now someone had automatically sent him to the door.

"Sir, we have found traces of enemy ships, and there are traces of their supply transport ships in the northeast direction!"

He pointed out on the map the location where the enemy ship had been found, not too far from Egret Harbor, which could be reached in half a day.

"Is it in this natural inlet? It's really hidden enough, but they still made the biggest mistake, that is, there is no way to get supplies in this kind of place, as long as you follow the supply ship, you will definitely be able to find their lair, it seems that none of them will be able to escape tonight!"

Heather snorted coldly as he pointed to the spot on the map, the reason why he was scolded by Camp was all because of these guys.

"Commander, it's just a group of fishermen from the Far East, wouldn't it be too disgraceful for you to deal with it yourself? Give me fifty warships...... No, thirty ships, I'll absolutely crush them all!" Staff Officer Beto immediately took the initiative to fight.

He wouldn't miss out on this kind of good thing, and as Heather nodded, he smiled.

He seemed to see the high-ranking official Houlu beckoning to him.
