624 Nord's gaze
624 Nord's gaze
April is the most beautiful season of the year in the southern Suro region. Under the vast and majestic white peaks, the vast emerald green dense forest, like golden green flowers, stretches along the towering mountains into the distance, and the palace of the king of Ryrdian in the south, the palace of Frisna, is next to the most beautiful lake outside the city of Suruo
The tranquil turquoise waters of the lake, the bright spring sun shining through the gaps in the trees leading to the island in the middle of the lake, and the water vapor rising from the lake in the morning shrouded the Frisna Palace in a hazy smoke, making it look like a fairyland on earth.
Lake Friesna is the most famous hot spring lake in the south of Ryrdian, at this time of year, the royal family of Ryrdian will come here for vacation, since the Roude people conquered the Suno region, Frisna Palace has become the favorite place of this generation of Lordian kings.
It's a bit remote and a bit desolate, but it's really beautiful. The air is also very fresh, and the morning air penetrates into everyone's heart, bringing comfort to the day.
As long as you open the windows on the second floor of the palace in the middle of the lake, you can see the banner of Roude fluttering on the castle in the distance, which is a very pleasant treat for the kings of the past who have constantly taken the occupation of Suro as their goal
Early morning. Before the sun had risen, King Yagrolca sent people to convene a military council with his ministers. This king, known as the most diligent in the history of the kingdom of Roude, at the dawn of the day, the Marquis of Salton, the under-secretary of the Ministry of Military Affairs, the Marquis Felita, the new Minister of the Admiralty, and the accompanying royal general Osangri and others were all pulled into the cruel reality from the sweet dream.
The content of today's four-member military meeting was very simple, that is, to discuss how to deal with the increasingly sharp neighbor, from all sides, it seems that the strong advance of the Vikyan army on the island of Salander has been unstoppable, and the urgent matter now is to discuss whether it is necessary to assist Salander again
King Agrolc of Nord has just passed his 60th birthday, his spirit is very strong, his body is strong and straight, he sits and lies in a very military style, he has golden curly hair, sits on the seat like a majestic golden lion, this king is diligent all his life, and the most hated is the lazy descendants,
So although the eyes of several important ministers were a little unopen, in front of this stern king. Don't dare to be the slightest slack, among them, the new Admiral Marquis Felita is the most cautious, his head is a little bowed, the Roude Navy is completely a statusless existence in front of the powerful Nord Army, and he must not be a man with his tail between his legs, because of the forces of the naval battle strategy in the West Sea last time, he was almost pushed to the guillotine.
In the military office of Yagrolk, there is a large map of the continent, and a large dark blue area below indicates the control of the Zode people. There is a large mass of broken red in the north-central part, which is the Ryordian people who are still fighting with the Eastern Kujits, and the eastern part is a huge green and purple, which is the Dorok people of the alliance physique, and hundreds of large and small Dorok kingdoms make it look like a canvas of overturned paint, representing the blue of the Rads, which has infected a large area near the eastern mountain range
It was the 100,000 Nord troops who had stormed the Dorok Mountains, and from last week's news came that the valiant Nord army had captured the largest city southeast of Dorok, and was rapidly expanding its territory
Finally, there is the southwest and northwest of the map, which is an overwhelming black, terrifyingly black, and now, this represents the mysterious, powerful black is the rapidly emerging Vekia
Yagrolk stood in the middle, with several of the kingdom's high-ranking ministers standing behind him. The Marquis de Salton, Undersecretary of War, first of all on behalf of the intelligence services, gave a brief introduction to the current state of state and basic combat readiness.
"Since our army occupied the Suno region, the shortage of timber in the country has been effectively alleviated, and in order to implement His Majesty's grand naval strategy, the thirty shipyards in the country have been operating at full capacity to produce the Storm Sea Serpent-class warships envisioned by the Ali family. According to the most conservative statistics, we have been able to launch 3 storm sea serpents per month since May. If nothing else, next year we will be able to produce a scale for the restoration of the Great Navy."
The face of the Marquis Felita, the Lord of the Admiralty, finally improved a little. The Roude Navy has always been a military force that has been deliberately ignored, and the dozen or so warships that have been outdated in the past cannot even be compared to the Ali family, which started as pirates.
The expeditionary fleet of the Ali family was in the West Sea of Vyde, so that the Vikia Navy was defeated, and it was not only lost a large number of warships, but also a large number of experienced sailors, and even the excellent admiral of the sea wolf Alizhovka was beaten all over the ground by the Vekia Navy, and finally had to lose hundreds of warships, risking the destruction of the whole army, and returned to the Nord Zhonghai in a big circle in the open sea, when Alizhovka arrived at the Nord Zhonghai, it was almost the same as calling Hanako.
Since then, the Ali family, which was originally very arrogant, got the opportunity to show his face, and he, the former commander-in-chief of the navy, became the beneficiary of the accident.
He first created the weakened post of Admiralty Minister, then appointed the Marquis Felita, who had many years of naval experience, as the new Admiralty, and allocated two-thirds of the huge war reparations sent by the Ryerdian people to China for the construction of the new navy
However, the Nord Navy, which has been severely weakened, is not so easy to regain its vitality? Not to mention the recruitment and training of personnel for the time being, this is the most systematic project and is also the foundation of the navy. It is not easy to make up for it, the kingdom of Zode is a basin kingdom, and there is never enough wood, and at this time the table is more and more obvious. Thanks to the forested Suro region occupied, Norde's plans for a large navy would have remained mere on paper.
"According to the latest information. The Northern Noble Alliance in the north of Salander has decided to join the Kingdom of Vekia, and all its naval forces have joined the Vekia Navy.
The northern part of Salander is rich in grain, and there is relatively abundant fertile land in the country, and the reason why the Wikiians value the northern part of Salander so much is probably because they want to build it into a large rear area in the southwest sea of China."
Marquis Felita's heart began to sink again, and all the little excitement he had just had vanished. Although Nord's naval power recovered quickly, it seems that Vecchia's naval power is also growing considerably.
The Nord Navy is currently facing. The three fleets of the Vekia Navy have already felt quite strenuous, and if Vekia increases the naval fleet in the direction of Nord, then the future of the Nord Navy will be really very bleak. Even the increasing number of large ship storm sea serpents that the Nord had high hopes for would not help, and the Vikia navy was too strong.
"Do you want to say that the Vecchians will go to war against us after they occupy Salander?" His Majesty, the king of Agrolk, who was constantly listening, asked a little confusedly, "No, the main force of Vecchia is not in the south?"
"Your Majesty" Marquis de Salton, the undersecretary of military affairs, pointed to the location of the border line where black and red intersected, and said slowly in a heavy tone, "If it was 3 months ago, Vecchia would not have threatened us, but now, the 4 main combat corps of our army are all in the Dorok Mountains, and the corps left in the south, the 60,000 people who went out to defend Ruierdian, can now use the mobile force, but only 40,000 troops,
And on our border, the falcon of Vecchia arranged 4 full 10,000 flag regiments, and this time it was on the surface of the Visa War, and 20,000 elite cavalry were openly mobilized to the south.
If you count the 2 infantry regiments stranded in the Kingdom of Salander, the actual number of troops that can be used has exceeded 80,000 people, plus their naval ......"
The Marquis of Salton said, while using the pen in his hand, carefully marked a shocking number on the map, which was the location of the distribution of the Vikchian army, like an additional weight, pressing the increasingly thin defensive line, and marking the current dangerous situation in a simple and understandable way, the air in the hall was heavy,
"That is to say, our army on the border is 1:2 compared to the number of Vicchian troops, and if they attack, we will lose the initial line of defense" The first to react was the royal general Osangre, whose stout body was twice as wide as an ordinary person, but it did not mean that he had a problem with his intelligence, on the contrary, the royal general Osangri had a nickname "Cunning Mountain Bear"
His face was frosty, the Vikia army has always been known for its fierce attacks, and has defeated the opponent with inferior forces many times, not to mention that the commander of the other party is the undefeated military god who makes the entire continent tremble, 1;2 This comparison is no different from completely exposing his softest belly to the other party before the duel
"Soldton, from where do you think the Wikibians will attack first?"
Yagrolk's eyes were like fire, staring at the map on the wall, his solemn face was cloudy, and his voice was like thunder rolling."
"Ryan Rike Island," Salton pointed to the bottom corner of the map with great certainty, "Judging from the recent movements of the Vekia army, this island between the west coast of Ved and Salander must be the direction of the next assault of the Vikia navy, and if it is captured, the Vikia army will be able to build it into the most stable intermediate supply point." When the time comes, we will be able to find a breakthrough point on our west coast at any time."
