The base camp of the Strand Sea Fleet, Biluland Island, the morning sun dyed the sky into a faint red glow, there were several white clouds gently drifting through the red glow, and thousands of rays of light reflected the "excited" and "swinging" sea water, exuding a layer of faint halo, and a qiē seemed so comfortable and quiet.

"Giggles"

The wheels crushed the smooth turquoise paved road on the island, and a carriage with the navy logo on the door passed through the noisy training ground in front of the annex under the left and right escort cavalry of thirty escort cavalry in blue-black uniforms, turned past a warehouse full of supplies, and went straight down the wide road to a six-story gray-and-white building at the back.

The "creak" carriage stopped in front of the steps, the doors opened,

An elegant-looking middle-aged man got out of the carriage, wearing a navy uniform, curly blond hair, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. Compared to the fierce cavalry guarding beside him. He was more of a scholar, but it was evident from the look on the faces of the cavalry guards who crowded around him. How they were in awe of this elegant-looking middle-aged man.

"Salute!" The guards on the steps were busy standing up and saluting, but the middle-aged man seemed to be as immovable as a petrified sculpture, and the adjutant who followed him quietly took the Jiàn clip from the carriage and handed it to the middle-aged man, "Your Royal Highness, I didn't expect you to come to the base camp in person!" A naval adjutant hurriedly ran out of it, sweating profusely with a smiling face, this menacing middle-aged nobleman was Prince Anji of the Sea Kingdom, seeing the prince's stinky face, everyone in the Admiralty subconsciously chose to dodge,

There's no way, at this time, if the other party looks smiling, it's called a strange thing!

Some time ago, the strategy of the Sea Kingdom was greatly adjusted, and the relationship between the Sea Kingdom and the Falcon Empire turned from an alliance to a hostile one, among which Prince Anji, who once advocated the alliance between the Sea Kingdom and the Falcon Empire. Because of this turmoil, he was deprived of his post as commander of the Second Fleet of the Sea State, and was temporarily appointed as the vice chairman of the Upper Assembly of the Sea State in name only.

In order to show the sincerity of cooperation, the Emperor was willing to marry a county lord of the Sea Kingdom.

Although the Gangfei Empire is not as good as it used to be, and half of its territory has been cut off by the Iraqis, for a sea country where most of its land is islands and adds up to only one province, the Gangfei Empire is still very large.

Moreover, there are still 200,000 Gangfei army forces, which control the nine southern provinces, and the deterrent power of the surrounding inland sea countries still exists, and the alliance with Gangfei to make the next Gangfei emperor become a pro-sea country is of great significance for the sea country to maintain its hegemony in the inland sea region.

After screening, the upper and lower councils of the Sea Kingdom finally selected the daughter of Prince Anji, the county lord of Angeli, who is the most suitable object for this marriage.

Lord Angelie is 15 years old. Young and energetic, he has a sense of pride in the Sea Kingdom, and Emperor Gangfei is only seven years old this year, and it is said that he is not yet able to fully govern. This marryed lord of the Sea Country is almost the ruler of the Gangfei Empire, and it doesn't take too many means to be able to firmly grasp a big country like Gangfei, which is an opportunity that the Sea Country must not let go. As for the county lord's father, the identity of Prince Anji is a little embarrassing, and the Admiralty has promised to restore his status as commander of the Second Fleet. However, the letter of appointment has been delayed

The Admiralty's procrastination is also not easy for the parliamentary side to enforce

The Aliens were founded on the Navy, and the Admiralty has always been superior to others, and the Admiralty has the authority to decide when to announce the decision according to the changes in the form.

But Prince Anji obviously couldn't wait, he was inexplicably pulled down from the seat of the commander of the Second Fleet of the Navy, and then he was told that he was going to send his daughter to Gangfei, and now he has detained his appointment for a long time.

In the commander's office of the naval base camp, Prince Anji said angrily, "Although I have been transferred from the Admiralty, at least I am still the prince of the Sea Kingdom, is Minister Bapra not even in the mood to come out to meet?" "Your Highness, don't get me wrong, Minister Bapra is holding an emergency meeting, and it is about that war, so ......" The adjutant of the Navy looked nervous and had beads of sweat on his head, and wiped it again and again, "Emergency meeting?"

Prince Anji looked up at the window and glanced at the direction of the conference room, and really lit the lamp, the prince frowned slightly, although he was transferred away from the core of the navy, he also heard some secrets that the fleet of the sea country left the port in advance half a month ago, the transfer of troops of the sea country this time is unprecedented, the three main fleets are all dispatched, the total number of warships is as high as 211, and there are more than 30,000 sailors, this is already a large gathering of sea power in the sea country, and their goal is the Falcon Empire naval fleet that is about to enter the southern sea area of Gangfei, in the Alien Navy, there are also many people who are talking about whether it is worth fighting with the Falcon Imperial Navy, one is the overlord of the open sea, and the other is the overlord of the inland seaEven the prince himself did not understand whether the Minister of the Navy Bapra was doing the right thing, but he just did not understand, not doubt,

Navy Minister Papra is 61 years old this year, boarded the ship at the age of 14, became the commander of the First Fleet of the Strait Navy at the age of 31, and became the Minister of the Navy at the age of 49.

Although the Strait of Strands is known as the overlord of the inland sea, it has truly formed the right to control the inland sea, relying on various ports to form a large network of contacts, and has become a powerful United Kingdom in the inland sea region with an island alliance that no one dares to underestimate. The Minister of the Navy is indispensable

"Okay, you go down, I'll wait here!"

Prince Angie waved his hand to the adjutant, and a quiet man came to the map on the table, which was full of scribbles, on which several arrows could be seen marked by the Secretary of the Navy Papra, the first of which was located in the first important place on the southern coast of Gangfei, Port Barola,

This is the gateway to the southern coast of Gangfei, and whoever occupies Barola is equivalent to tearing open the gate of the southern coast of Gangfei, and on the map, the location of Barola has been circled with a red pen, and there are as many as four or five such circles on the entire map. It's all the ports on the south coast of Gangnon,

"It's ...... Operational map?"

Prince Anji looked at the map and gasped,

According to his years of understanding of Minister Papra, these red circles represent the meaning of abandonment, the entire curved southern coast of Gangfei, like a huge fishing hook, and these red circles are like a series of huge baits, with the entire southern coast of Gangfei as bait, Bapra is going to hang a fish!

Meantime. On the first floor of the Navy Base Building, a dignified young Admiral walked into the hall, a man in his twenties, with brown curls and pure-colored eyes that seemed to be smiling forever. Compared to the Admiral on his shoulder, he was too young. Even Minister Papra, who is known as the protector of the sea country, was thirty-one years old when he first became the admiral of the sea country's fleet, and he was already the youngest of the sea country's admirals at that time, and the admiral of the navy who walked into the hall in front of him. Younger than the original Papra

However, no one dared to despise him. This young duke of the Sea Kingdom definitely did not rely on personal connections to become an admiral in command of a fleet. As the best of the young generals, his fame was not much worse than that of other admirals. Just a couple of lieutenants in the hall. It was the Duke's admirer, young, kind, though not very handsome. But it's clean. He has the title of duke, his own island and property, but he is not willing to sleep in the shadow of his ancestors. Instead, it took ten years to become a naval admiral by accumulating military merits, and such a man, no matter in the eyes of any woman, is a treasure. From the chest of a female adjutant standing not far away, you can know how lethal this duke is to women.

After the meeting, the Minister of the Navy Bapra, dragged his tired body to push the door open, and at a glance, Prince Anji, who was looking at the chart, frowned slightly,

"Minister Papra!" Prince Anji straightened his body, and in front of this protector of the sea country, even the prince did not dare to be presumptuous.

"Your Royal Highness, why are you here? As far as I know, today should be the day when the Bill of Compensation for Sea Salvage is discussed in Parliament, and I have heard that this bill was proposed by His Royal Highness the Prince," Papra gestured to the sentry at the door, asked the sentry to bring in two glasses of wine, and walked towards the Prince with the wine

"Your Excellency Papra, I am here because I really want to know when my appointment will be issued? If I continue to wait like this, I will almost become the laughing stock of others! Prince Anji took the wine glass as usual, the relationship between the two was not very bad as rumored by the outside world, the prince was appointed as the commander of the Second Fleet of the Sea State, or the strong support of Papra, Bapra is a loyal person, may not please the royal family, but it will not embarrass the royal family, the two have already formed a tacit understanding

"Don't worry, Your Excellency's appointment will be issued when it is most needed!" Bapra's face looked a little solemn, and he took a sip of wine lightly, and said, "Actually, I would prefer that this appointment not be issued, because Your Excellency the Prince at that time would definitely not want to see it!"

"When is it most needed?" Prince Anji held his wine glass, his face stunned,

"The restoration of His Highness's position is actually just a kind of preparation in advance!" Bapra walked to the window, looked at the white sand beach under the impact of the waves in the distance, and said slowly, "I believe that His Royal Highness already knows the news that the main force of the navy has left the port, this battle between the Sea Nation and the Falcon Empire Navy, the outcome is unpredictable, if it wins, then His Highness's appointment will be canceled, if it fails...... At that time, His Highness, as a pro-Falcon Empire faction, will be able to quickly repair the relationship between the two countries!" "What does this mean?"

Prince Anji's face changed when he heard this, and a wave of anger suddenly surged in his heart, and the long-suppressed love finally broke out, he glared at Papra angrily, and said sharply, "Since Your Excellency is not sure of defeating the Falcon Empire, why do you want to push the country onto this war path, I have always thought that this war is simply superfluous, and we can live in peace with the Falcon Empire, as for the more rigid and non-alliance, Your Excellency really thinks that it is a blessing for us?"

"Peaceful?" "Bapra turned from the window, the corners of her eyebrows raised, and her eyes were shining, "Does His Royal Highness really think that we can live in peace with the Falcon Empire?"

"Why not? From the very beginning, the Falcon Empire had no intention of fighting us, they just wanted to enter the Inland Sea and start trading!" Prince Anji looked stern, "And in the three months that we have joined forces with the Falcon Empire, the trade income we have obtained has increased by thirty percent, if it weren't for our own choice to provoke a war, I believe that we will join forces with the Falcon Empire." It will inevitably bring the development of the sea country to a higher level, and if we unite, the entire inland sea will be ......"

"That's enough, Anji, why are you still so naïve!" Bapra on the other side looked at the prince with blazing eyes, and directly waved his hand to interrupt the prince's words, took out a report from the drawer, handed it to Prince Anji, who was full of generosity, and said in a condensed voice, "You take a look at this first, this is a report on the three-month cooperation period." Your eyes should not only focus on those gains, but on what really represents the sea country" "Yes, we have a lot to gain. And it opens the connection point between the inland sea and the open sea, but you should also know that a child and a giant can become good friends without knowing each other, once the giant knows that the ally in front of him is just a child, what do you think they will do? The giant will not hesitate to tear the child apart,

It's a pity that the Falcon Empire is that giant, and we are that child!

Just three months. The number of merchant ships entering the Inland Sea of the Falcon Empire is 2,000, and according to our eyeliner report in the Putao area, this is less than one-fifth of the total number of merchant ships in the Falcon Empire. In October, when we turned against the Falcon Empire, the Falcon Empire had gathered 7,000 merchant ships in the Putau area.

"Seven thousand," Bapra muttered in a whisper, his eyes flickering, "Sea Country, Sea Country! Once this locust-like merchant fleet floods into the inland sea." Our trade lines will be the first to collapse in the impact, and the Inland Sea Nation will find it a hundred times more cost-effective to cooperate with the Falcon Empire than with our Sea Nation. At that time, were we still called the Sea Country? Without the Sea, where would there be a Sea Country!"

"This ......"

Prince Anji heard beads of Lida sweat oozing from his forehead, and the hand holding the report felt like holding a soldering iron, which was really thunderous and informative

He had never thought like this before, indeed, the Falcon Empire's merchant fleet was too much, enough to flood the entire Inland Sea trade line, thinking of tens of thousands of merchant fleets floating with the Falcon Empire's naval flag, crowded with various ports in the Inland Sea, it was definitely a disaster for the Aliens who were founded on the sea, these numbers of merchant fleets poured into the Inland Sea, coupled with the expanding power and prestige of the Falcon Empire, in a few years, the Alien Sea Kingdom spent countless efforts to build a huge network of contacts in the Inland Sea region will be impacted.

The snobbery of the inland sea countries is famous, whoever can bring them wealth, they will not hesitate to stand on that side, on this, the financial and material resources of the Falcon Empire are like huge giants, and the Alien Sea Country has no qualifications to compete with it!, the inland sea system dominated by the Alien Sea State will completely collapse, and it will be replaced by the Inland Sea system dominated by the Falcon Empire, which is by no means alarmist from the rise of the Falcon Empire in the northern region like a hurricane of commerce and trade, I know that such words are by no means alarmist," I'm sorry, but this sacrifice made love and Gangfei alliance, in fact, it was not my intention, but I just hoped that it could delay the speed of the Falcon Empire's infiltration into the inland sea! The same is true for the main force of the navy to fight with the Falcon Empire Navy, the Falcon Navy is a strong opponent who has defeated the two major imperial navies of Gaul and Gangfei, under the Falcon Thor, everything is destroyed, so we can only have one chance to fight with it, and we cannot afford to lose, if we win, this battle should be able to block the Falcon Navy from entering the inland sea for five years, and the Sea Country still has a chance to breathe, and adjust the strategic deployment from the new, when the time comes, Ling Ai will enter the Gangfei Empire, and the adjustment of the strategic direction of the Sea State will be of great help!"

"If we fail, the Sea Kingdom will lose the qualification of the Overlord of the Inland Sea, the door of the Inland Sea will be completely opened, and the Falcon Empire will inevitably attack us, at that time, your appointment letter will be issued, I will be removed from my post and punished, and Ling Ai will not have to go to the wrong place, so that at least there will be an excuse to appease the anger of the Falcon Empire, and then you will take my place and become the head of the Sea Empire's navy."

"This may be the last time you and I will meet" Papra smiled bitterly at the corner of his mouth, and put the report back in the drawer, "Go back, prepare yourself, soldiers have the duties of soldiers, the royal family has the responsibilities of the royal family, we are actually all fighting for the sea country, whether we win or fail! The dream of the sea country always needs people to continue walking! I am old, life and death are no longer regrets, I only hope you know what a terrible beast the enemy you will face, and the future of the sea country is not as easy as you think!" "I'm sorry, it was all a misunderstanding before, I didn't expect Your Excellency's thoughts to be so far-reaching" Prince Anji lowered his head with shame on his face, this old man has dedicated his life to the sea country, and now he is ready to sacrifice his life at any time "My lord, Duke Love Harley has arrived!"

The adjutant's voice sounded outside the door, and a young man dressed in a dark green Admiral's Navy uniform appeared at the door of the office, with a precious cylindrical fluffy bag hanging from his waist, and the Admiral's collar hat between his arms, Duke of Aharley, the lord of the United Islands of the Sea Kingdom, and the Admiral of the Fifth Fleet of the Sea State, (to be continued......
