Chapter 252 Military Discussion
There are many types of warships in the Raging Wave Navy. Apart from the flagship ships, the most numerous are assault warships.
To put it bluntly, this kind of boat is a shrunken single-story boat, narrower and slender, with a hull ranging from ten to twenty meters, completely determined by the keel, with ramming angles, paddles, small sails, and a large number of paddles. paddle.
The small one can only carry twenty or thirty people, and the big one can accommodate fifty or sixty people without any problem.
The advantage of this kind of boat is obvious, that is, the speed is fast enough, and the three methods of sailing and oars are used together, just like flying fish on the water, it is the best choice for attacking and charging. When necessary, the longbowman on it can also provide long-range support. .
The disadvantages are the same as those of the building boats. They are flat-bottomed boats with a relatively high center of gravity and poor wind and wave resistance, so they dominate inland rivers. If they go to the sea and have a little wind and waves, they can be taught how to make boats.
However, for a short time, the raging water army has no chance to deal with the sea, so they are enough.
In addition, there are many troop carriers converted from fishing boats. They are simply carrying tools, so there is really nothing worth mentioning.
Rock No.
One of the three flagships of the Raging Wave Legion, resident in the Andes inland lake.
But since the day it was launched, it has not been idle, not only serving as a training ship, but also the general headquarters of the Raging Waves Legion.
When necessary, it has to act as a transport ship to transport artisans and supply and demand supplies to the historic fortress group, whoever makes it have a large enough load.
Although the Explorer, Gemini, and Panshi are manufactured by the same shipyard, the same crew, and the same process, there are still great differences and each has its own characteristics.
After all, the current shipbuilding process relies heavily on materials, especially the keel.
The final shape of a ship is mostly determined by it.
The Explorer's keel is slender, so it is relatively narrow, and all kinds of protective armor are the weakest, but its speed is the fastest among the three, so it is transferred to cruise missions.
The Gemini is not named after the Twin Cities, but because of its own characteristics. It is built from two relatively small keels, and the horizontal development is relatively serious. From a distance, it looks like twin twins hugging together, matching the Twin Cities. It can only be said to be fate.
The Gemini is the slowest of the three, but it has the strongest carrying capacity and the most powerful long-range firepower. But so far, its greatest use is to act as a transshipment cargo ship for the two cities of Gemini in the north and south, carrying people and goods.
The only time it was used in military operations was to cooperate with Angel Bena to rob the ports along the Jacob River. From the beginning to the end, there was no chance to fire a cannon or an arrow, and it was completely used as a large troop carrier.
This situation, I am afraid it will continue for a period of time, the strategic advantage of Yong Ye's army is too obvious, and now it is a crushing situation, so there is no need to use all of it.
The keel of the Panshi is the largest one together with the Rose and Angelbena. Since it was completed last, the workmanship is also the most proficient, and it already has a four-story structure.
The performance is quite satisfactory, there are no strengths and weaknesses, and it can be advanced, attacked, retreated, and defended. It is a rock when it is poked on the surface of the river.
It is the first prototype of the Yongye Shipyard, and it will be mass-produced in the future, all of which are of this rock type.
At this moment, the war room of the Panshi is full of voices, and a pre-war meeting for the Swamp of Despair is being held to make final preparations.
I think the most important thing about eating the Swamp of Despair is not how much land is occupied. After all, the land can't run away, but to break the claws of the wolves who peep at it, so that they can't compete with us. We will develop it a little bit more. It’s the right way, otherwise we develop the front foot, and they hit the back foot, and the two will not be safe.”
The young and vigorous chief of the military staff Kelman is the most typical hawk in the military staff department. He advocates offense, offense, and offense. In his eyes, offense is the best defense.
He also honored this during his military campaign against the Swamp of Despair.
The current rhetoric is already quite gentle. Previously, he advocated that he would directly attack the Kingsley family by surprise and maim all their vitality. By then, he would naturally be unable to compete with them for the Swamp of Despair.
This strategy was overruled by Sean with a veto.
If this is done, of course, the biggest competitor of the Swamp of Despair will be eliminated.
But the nature of the matter has completely changed. It is no longer fighting for the Swamp of Despair, but the leader of the Yongye Army is actively attacking the leader of the Byron Alliance.
At that time, even Princess Regent Sophilia will not be able to speak for them. On the contrary, under the joint pressure of all the Grand Duke's families, it is very likely that the entire Byron Alliance will march into the Swamp of Despair, and even attack the Eternal Night Army Commander.
At that time, the situation will become more chaotic and uncontrollable.
Although the Kingsley family is the biggest competitor of the Evernight Army to lead the Swamp of Despair, they are allies on a certain level. keep out.
In other words, before the Kingsley family was out, the enemy was in the dark.
Once they eliminated the Kingsley family in advance, it would become the enemy's darkness.
How to choose is self-evident.
The young chief of the military staff did not give up his own opinion, and settled for the next best thing. He believed that the military layout of the Yongye army should focus on the line between the Carter Hills and the Desperate Swamp. When the time comes, he will use his mind to calculate and unintentionally beat the Kingsley family. Ambush, this is not crossing the line.
We can't just stare outside the Swamp of Despair. According to the summary of various sources of information, the number of aborigines in the Swamp of Despair is not small, especially on both sides of the Donau River, which is their main settlement. Once we enter the Swamp of Despair on a large scale , They will definitely not sit idly by, if we unite, we will be a terrifying force, for them, we are out-and-out invaders, if we are not careful, we will never die.
It was Blaine, another chief of the military staff of the military staff, who spoke.
A wise man is not necessarily a warlock, but a warlock must be a wise man.
As Bran, who is only one step away from a control-level warlock, he is even more intelligent among intelligent people.
When Yong Ye's army leader deliberately made things difficult for him, he still passed the customs with excellent results and entered the military staff department.
Everything here opened his eyes, and he knew that the Walled City Alliance's loss was not wronged at all. Even without the invasion of the barbarians in the mountainous Kentana as an inducement, the Yongye Army at that time took down the Walled City Alliance with its own ability. It's not a difficult thing, it depends on whether you are willing to bear such a big loss.
Therefore, he accepted the fact that the Walled City Alliance has become a thing of the past faster than his father, Ban Hebrew, and learned at a fast speed and integrated into the brand new group of the Eternal Night Army Leader.
After three years of study and tempering, he has become a qualified military chief of staff, fully planning for the Yong Ye army leader.
Brann's finger drew a line on the large military map.
This line is crooked, like a giant python dormant in the swamp of despair.
It is the Desperate Nu River, also known as the Donau River. Due to the sharp drop in the water level at the source of the Andes Inland Lake, its flow has been seriously affected. It is more appropriate to return to the old name of the Donau River.
Along the Danube River, there are densely packed flags of different sizes.
Each flag represents a crocodile village.
Undoubtedly, most of these are thanks to Xiao En, who detected them at high altitude with the Thunderbolt Golden Eagle.
There is also part of Hawkeye's supplementary information, but it is very small.
Not to mention that the crocodile people are very xenophobic, and outsiders can't easily integrate into it. Let's just talk about the dangerous environment of the Swamp of Despair. If people who are not familiar with it rashly rush in, ten lives are not enough to lose.
The leader of the Yongye army once tried to cast eagle eyes here, and it was not a wave.
But those well-trained eagle eyes, most of them never returned, they gave up this attempt.
A group of uncivilized wild aborigines, just kill them all. Andis Tiger Tagore's eyes were eager to try.
He is a standard war maniac, and he will be excited when he smells the breath of war, especially after becoming the commander of the Second Army of the Yongye Army, he has not fought a serious battle until now, which makes him full of resentment. , Why raise so many soldiers?
In the eyes of the Byrons, we are also a group of wild natives. Eriksson replied quietly.
This is not the same thing at all! Tagore said with wide-eyed eyes, According to what you say, we still have to beg them to join us? This kind of thing depends on the fist, as long as our fist is hard enough to hurt them, they will take the initiative to ask us to let them join.
That's the reason, but things can't be done this way. Ban Hebrew, who has become the chief military staff officer of the Eternal Night Army, twitched his beard. Reputation, I think it is more appropriate to give courtesy first and then soldiers.
That's right, we can be considered a powerful force now, we still have to talk about some rules, and it's not too late to adopt a strategy to test the attitude of the other party.
Anyway, we still have plenty of time now, why not give it a try, it will not cause any loss to us.
I agree with courtesy first and soldiers later.
I also agree with courtesy first and soldiers later.
Yong Ye's army leaders and other high-level leaders expressed their opinions one after another, and most of them chose to be courteous before soldiers.
As one's own strength grows, one must always show the bearing of a strong man. The leader of the Yong Ye army is not an extremely strong man now, but he is at least one step ahead of the crocodile tribe.
Speaking of which, Lanxili also played a role in this. He said that the Andes, the Byrons, including the current crocodile people are all of the same race. The people of the ancient Andes Empire, but the environment made them The appearance has become a little different.
Although the senior leaders of the Yong Ye army did not fully accept this kind of thinking, when looking at things, they faintly stood at a higher level, and were no longer bound by the racial identity of the Andes.
And this is exactly what Sean wanted to see, and it was not in vain that he forced them to attend Mr. Lan Xili's class.
Paying too much attention to racial identity will certainly make them extremely united, but it will prevent them from integrating into a larger group.
Compared with the Byron Alliance, the Andes people who have been confined in the Andes Mountains for so many years are after all a small race.
If the Byron Alliance wants to accept them, they must also face each other squarely.
It is precisely because of this series of foreshadowing that the policy of treating the princess regent has not met with strong opposition.
Then salute first and then fight. Sean made a decision and set the main tone.
He already has a deep understanding of the way of power. Like the military meeting in front of him, he seldom expresses his views immediately, even before that, he already has a plan in his mind.
You also need to listen to other people's opinions first.
If the current situation is like this, the development of the entire meeting coincides with his own ideas, and it will not be too late to come forward to finalize, that is, to give everyone an illusion of democracy, but also in line with his own ideas.
If the development of the meeting runs counter to his own ideas, he will use hints and say it through other people's mouths. If the majority still opposes it, then put it aside for further discussion.
Repeatedly, other people will more or less get his mind from it, and then compromise with each other to achieve a result that everyone is happy with.
Of course, they basically laughed off the whimsical ideas of rough people like McGee the Skull Crusher and Andis the Tiger Tagore.
Since Tagore joined, McGee the Skullbreaker has started to play deep. It’s not that his scheming has improved a lot. It’s really that this fierce tiger is not only fast with his sword, but also fast with his mouth, preempting many words that belonged to him. became the object of bombardment.
He never tires of it.
As for whether he wants to gain more sense of existence from these unique views?
Or whether his ideas are really different, it is unknown.
Even after setting the main tone, Tagore still muttered, Just wait and see, this kind of posturing won't have any results, it all depends on whether the fist is hard enough or not.
Fortunately, many opinions of this kind of rude person are blurted out without any deep meaning. Naturally, they will not insist too much, and they will not take it seriously when they are rejected.
After finalizing the etiquette before the soldiers, the selection of envoys has become another problem.
The situation this time is completely different from Eriksson's mission to the Silver Wolf Tribe.
When Eriksson was sent to the Silver Wolf Tribe, the leader of the Yong Ye Army had already known the situation there, and even the temperament of the chief of the Silver Wolf Tribe was pretty much the same.
Even if the other party does not accept their proposal, it is impossible to embarrass their envoy, which is far less dangerous than it seems.
On the contrary, when Eriksson made a plan for the Silver Wolf Tribe, he made a dangerous move and put his own life on the knife's edge. Once the plan failed, it was very likely that he would be involved.
This trip to the Swamp of Despair was different.
The leader of the Yongye Army knows very little about the situation here, not to mention their internal situation, even the general orientation is determined by Xiao En from the sky. He has no idea what the status of these tribal towns is among the crocodile people. Well, it is roughly estimated based on the scale.
This requires that the quality of the envoys must not be low, and they must be proficient in flexible ways, and they cannot be competent by just grabbing a soldier.
I'll go. The young military chief of staff Kelman stepped forward, with strong fighting spirit in his eyes, I am willing to be the pioneer of the generals and find out the situation in the Swamp of Despair.
Now in the Military Staff Department, Eriksson, the former chief of staff, has become a role model for all military staff officers.
Except for Ban Hebrew, who has a sense of resettlement for the elderly, there are a few of the remaining young people who don't want to join the army and command their own soldiers to fight.
Planning behind the scenes and commanding on the ground are two different things.
Although they knew that Eriksson's transfer to the head of the Third Army had no direct relationship with the Silver Wolf Tribe, but was caused by past accumulation, it still did not prevent these young people from actively participating in the mission after seeing similar things. Participation, for them, is a matter of life and death.
Once successful, they will accumulate rich meritorious service.
