All of Yanan's 'family members' were temporarily moved outside by Joe's order, and there were some things that they should not know.

In the brightly lit room, Anan explained everything he knew in a weak tone.

The Kingdom of St. Thea, the traditional power of Metland, is the only blessed kingdom with the word 'holy' under the papal charter of the Golden Oak Church.

Once a detachment of the Saint Sia colony could defeat the Ice Sea Kingdom, the current No. 1 maritime power in Medland, just over twenty years ago, where the powerful Saint Sia Kingdom's naval guns pointed, the heroes along the Storm Ocean bowed down, and no one dared to challenge his majesty.

Twenty years ago, in the Battle of the Brad Sea, the incomparably powerful home fleet of the Kingdom of Chia, the mighty 'Ten Thousand Sails Fleet' made tactical mistakes, and even more bad luck, many fleet leaders were directly killed in the first wave of artillery battles, and the home fleet was severely damaged by the Royal Navy of the Ice Kingdom.

Under the mediation of the Golden Oak Church, the Kingdom of Saint Sia signed an armistice agreement in great humiliation, compensating the Ice Sea Kingdom with huge military expenses, and even the only remaining seven first-class battleships were forcibly demanded by the Ice Sea Kingdom as part of the indemnity.

Seventeen years ago, the home fleet of the Kingdom of Santa Thea, which had been regrouped and regrouped, cooperated with the combined fleet of the colonies returning from the major colonies, and took the initiative to fight again in the Stormwind Strait.

After a fierce battle for one day and one night, the main fleet of the Royal Navy of the Ice Sea Kingdom was defeated, and after losing half of the battleships, they fled into an unnamed bay in a panic and resisted stubbornly. It was the night when the weather in the Storm Strait changed dramatically, the waves were raging, and the Saint Cia Navy suffered heavy losses. The Royal Navy of the Ice Sea Kingdom took advantage of the situation, and the Saint Sia Navy was almost completely wiped out.

The Royal Navy of the Ice Kingdom once again blockaded the coast of the Kingdom of St. Thea, and the Church of the Golden Oak once again came to the rescue, and after mediation, the Kingdom of St. Sia once again compensated for the huge military expenses and ceded three rich and fertile overseas colonies.

The territory of each overseas colony is the size of the kingdom of St. Sia!

Ten years ago, the Kingdom of Santa Sia, once again on its back, did not hesitate to use the kingdom's reserves, and spent seven years of hard work to once again build a large native fleet larger than the previous two naval battles combined.

The Royal Navy of the Ice Sea Kingdom, which has also expanded several times in strength, took the initiative to attack, learned the lessons of the previous two defeats, and chose the conservative strategy of the Holy Sea Navy at the door of its own home, just around the Holy Sea Sea, with the help of permanent forts on the islands, and the Ice Sea Kingdom started a positional battle.

When the two sides were in a stalemate, the Delen Empire entered strongly, and the surprise attack of the Delen Empire's navy, which was small in number and backward in ship type, successfully blew up the arsenal set up by the St. Sia Navy on a certain island, and the St. Sia Navy lost seventy percent of its logistical supplies, and the ammunition of the front-line fleet could only last for three days.

What made the Kingdom of Saint Sia collapse even more was that the 300,000 elite troops of the Delen Empire took advantage of the United Kingdom of Daunis to attack all the way and directly besiege the royal capital of Saint Thea, and the royal family of St. Thea and almost all the princes and ministers were captured.

Cession of land, payment of reparations, dismantling of the fleet...... The navy of the Kingdom of St. Sia was destroyed, but thanks to the strong intervention of the Golden Oak Church, the Navy of St. Sia retained a small fleet that could barely fight pirates and defend the mainland.

The Ice Sea Kingdom swallowed most of the main warships of the Saint Sia Navy, and the Deren Empire relied on the superiority of the army to dismantle seventy percent of the shipyards in the Saint Sia Empire, and all the shipyard owners, designers, engineers, senior workers and apprentices, along with their families, were also packed and taken away by the Deren Empire.

Since then, in addition to the sworn enemy Ice Sea Kingdom, the Kingdom of Saint Sia has also formed a blood feud with the Delen Empire.

Since then, the kingdom of St. Sia and the Delen empire have been neighborly and friendly on the surface, but they have been in constant conflict in private. On the mainland, in the colonies, on the territory of neutral countries, soldiers, spies, employees, official and unofficial people of all statuses, professions, and levels of all kinds kill each other, and every year they suffer a lot of casualties.

"Franco, as a nobleman of the kingdom, he betrayed the kingdom." Yanan looked at Joe and said his main task on the night of Mid-Autumn: "Traitor, must die." If his death can bring some trouble to the Delen Empire, it will be regarded as waste utilization, and it will be regarded as a small atonement for his sins. ”

Joe suddenly realized that it was no wonder that as the consul general of the Kingdom of St. Sia in the port of Tulum, Franco would appear in the pink mermaid at that sensitive moment.

It was an industry run by a group of great nobles in the Republic of Gaul, who held great power in the Republic of Gaul. Franco's death there will undoubtedly create a discord between the Delenn Empire and the Gallic Republic.

For the Kingdom of Saint-Chia, using Franco's death to create diplomatic friction between the Delenn Empire and the Republic of Gaul can really be regarded as waste utilization.

To this end, on the night of mid-autumn, Yanan arranged an elite and reliable manpower inside and outside the pink mermaid, which was enough to ensure that Franco, his family, and henchmen died cleanly.

"So, what is Myers asking you for?" Joe asked Yanan as he sincerely sighed in his heart that the world was dark and terrifying.

Tsk, eradicate traitors, eradicate traitors.

The Ritu's treatment of traitors was very simple, they were put directly into a wine barrel, filled with pozzolana cement, and then thrown into the deep sea, so that there was no trace of his existence in the world.

Look at these courtiers of the kingdom, these noble-born nobles!

Why are the methods so dirty?

Kill people, but also use his death to squeeze the last bit of oil and water, the last bit of value!

With such a dark method, Joe couldn't help but admit more and more that Yanan's miserable situation at the moment was really deserved.

Jo had no doubt that when Anan drew up this plan, he must have shouted in his heart such high-sounding slogans as 'For the good of the kingdom of St. Sia', or 'For the glory of His Majesty', or 'Great Mu bless St. Sia'.

"Mels, Myles......" Yanan smiled strangely at Joe, "he would ask about anything other than Franco's death, and he knew exactly that it happened at the same time as the Pink Mermaid." ”

Sighing and taking a soft puff of his cigar, Yanan spit out a small smoke ring, and he said very heavily: "It seems that the hand of the National Resources Investigation Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Delun Empire has reached into the headquarters of the Saint Cia Navy." ”

Joe's eyes widened in astonishment.

How did this matter have anything to do with the Saint Cia Naval Headquarters again?

Yanan said slowly, his consumption today was too great, the speed of speech was not fast, and he was a little stammering, his head had been shocked, his thinking was a little confused, and he had to pause occasionally to carefully recall some details.

Since another fiasco ten years ago.

In ten years, the kingdom of St. Sia has once again tried its courage and worked hard.

They emptied the last gold coins of the treasury and the royal treasury, and even borrowed huge sums from the usurious United Kingdom of Nice, once again stubbornly building a powerful navy.

The newly formed Santa Cia Navy, in terms of the number of capital ships alone, far surpassed the Delen Imperial Navy, and was the second largest navy after the Ice Sea Kingdom in Metland.

Moreover, after all, the Kingdom of Saint Sia started with the navy, and they hoarded a large amount of advanced technology in the shipbuilding industry, and many outstanding talents even had extremely advanced ideas.

A series of capital ships they have newly launched, and the data of each capital ship, whether it is speed, defense, gun position, endurance, survivability, etc., are far superior to the capital ships that have been launched one after another in the Delun Empire in recent years.

Both in quantity and quality, the Santa Sia Navy once again crushed the Royal Navy of the Deren Empire.

The new generation of naval officers of the Kingdom of Saint Sia has also grown up, and they have begun to deliberately create friction at sea with hatred for the Delun Empire, bearing the blood feud of the predecessors of the Holy Sia Navy, and shouldering the earnest entrustment of the Royal Family of Saint Thea.

Although the number one enemy of the Saint Sea Kingdom is the Ice Sea Kingdom, but the Saint Sea Kingdom is not stupid, the Ice Sea Kingdom is now far superior to them in naval strength, of course the persimmon must choose the soft pinch!

The naval strength of the Delen Empire, tall, short, fat and thin is just right, who is it that you don't bully him?

By bullying the Royal Navy of the Delun Empire, he can also piggyback on training soldiers, and turn rookie sailors into senior veterans, killing two birds with one stone, and the happiness is boundless!

"Nine months ago, the Second Detachment of the Black Continent of the Saint Sia Kingdom Navy discovered a survey fleet directly under the Overseas Hydrographic Data Survey Bureau of the Delun Imperial Navy in the furious sea in the southernmost part of the Black Continent."

Yanan pursed his lips and said softly: "An extremely weak small fleet equipped with only two fast frigates. ”

"In just a quarter of an hour, the royal navy completely annihilated that survey fleet and captured thousands of prisoners."

Yanan took a breath, and he looked at Joe with a strange gaze: "The Delen Imperial Army, worthy of the Deren Imperial Army, whether it is the traditional army or the emerging navy, the 'hungry wolf cubs' are very fierce, and they are as loyal as dogs. None of the hundreds of Delun naval officers and men who were captured opened their mouths to say a word. ”

"All the news about their affiliation, their mission, their destination, the reconnaissance fleet, the Santa Cia Navy has exhausted all means and has not been able to get a word from them."

"However, in that fleet, there are a large number of technicians. It's not hard to pry their mouths open. ”

"What did you find?" Joe quickly asked.

Yanan closed his eyes vigorously, and he said in a deep voice: "South of the Black Continent, across the Furious Sea, three small land blocks connected by peninsulas and land bridges, the total area of the three landmasses is roughly equivalent to one and a half of the territory of the Delun Empire, that is, the size of the territory of the five kingdoms of Saint Xia. ”

"Routes to the three continents, hydrological data along the way, island shipping lanes for fresh water supply, and even maps of the distribution of strategic mineral deposits along the coast of the three continents and initial survey maps."

"All the materials, all made into a detailed survey report, escorted by one second-class battleship, three third-class battleships, and twelve fast frigates, returned to the port of Tulum a month and a half ago, and was secretly carried by the elite of the Overseas Hydrographic Data Survey Bureau of the Deren Imperial Navy to the imperial capital of Delon."

Yanan's expression became even more eccentric.

"According to the Public Law on the Overseas Colony Development of the Medland Countries, which was enacted ten years ago, the prospecting country automatically has the right of first refusal for fifty years to explore the newly discovered overseas territories and to benefit from them. In addition to this, there are more complex terms of equity, representing astronomical wealth and power! ”

"This survey report, which is the only thing that remains in the world, is a passport to the new land of wealth."

"On a mid-autumn night, the commissioner of the Saint Sia Navy Headquarters brought a huge amount of money to buy this survey report at the pink mermaid."

"That stupid woman from Henniway is here to wipe her ass."

"The survey report was lost in the middle of her escort."

Yanan said slowly: "The survey report is in my hands. Myers: That's right, in my hands! ”
