Realm of Power

After reading the secret report written to him by the Minister of the Navy in his hand, the Emperor smiled evilly and said to the Imperial Princess Mao Monaqing who walked in the door, "Finally, we have some clues. The Ero people are on guard day and night." Guard, guard against the empire's spies like thieves, but ultimately failed to guard against this It is not in vain that I forced the Minister of the Navy, Dostronkai, to preside over the construction of the water network project for a month. Otherwise, how could this noble-born Minister of the Navy be able to rely on the scenes on both sides of the large river to have a thorough understanding of the interior of the Eero Empire? to produce such a level of analysis report on the agricultural, economic, and geographical environment.”

"What your Majesty said is that the people of Ero would never have thought that the dignified Imperial Navy Minister would have such profound insights into water conservancy projects." Mao Monaqing held a pile of documents and placed them on the table, her shapely figure standing tall. Go, her round buttocks swayed slightly, her lovely face turned around and smiled gently at the fat man,

The amorous feelings shown in this glance made the fat man swallow dryly and he was really speechless. This iceberg beauty in the west back then was now upright and downturned, round and gentle. Under the direct gaze of the fat man, His face was as red as snow, and he was an old married couple. It’s still so eye-catching, but in fact, after calculation, Mao Monaqing, as the first princess of the empire, is actually in her prime years of twenties and seventies, which is the golden period when a woman enters maturity. After many years The graceful temperament developed by taking charge of the internal affairs of the empire is not comparable to ordinary beauties.

"It's strange to say that. I originally thought that the Eero Empire would refuse to borrow the passage, but I didn't expect that the other party agreed so quickly!" Mao Mona said with a slight frown on her green eyebrows. This time, the main force of the imperial navy borrowed from the Eero Empire. Dao went south. As one of the core members of the empire, Mao Monaqing naturally knew the emperor's plan.

Borrowing the passage is just one of them. The real purpose is to take advantage of this opportunity to cross the great river of the Eero Empire to gain an in-depth understanding of the internal situation of the Ero Empire, a big country in the south. Logically speaking, according to the Eero people’s defense of the empire, , it is absolutely impossible not to see this, but the other party actually agreed, which made Mao Monaqing feel incredible

"Haha, there's nothing surprising. It's just that Emperor Aero believes that risking the exposure of some internal conditions can eliminate the Imperial Navy, which is a serious problem. It's a good deal anyway." The fat man smiled nonchalantly. He said to his beloved woman, "You don't really think that the Ero people are borrowing the road. Because of the military alliance between the two sides, how is this possible! The Ero Empire's defense against the Empire can be seen in the Kailuo Port incident. It seemed that the Kailuo Port was decisively leased to the Empire as a free trade port, but it was actually equivalent to the Kailuo Port incident. The import and export of imperial merchants into the Erro Empire is completely restricted at Kailuo Port."

The fat man paused and raised the report in his hand. "In addition to fixed commercial routes, the Aero army has already blocked all roads southward from Kailuo Port, strictly prohibiting imperial merchants from entering the hinterland. The empire's intelligence network It can't be extended at all! And when returning from Kailuo Port, Luo merchants can continuously bring intelligence from the empire back to Eero. Several times the Imperial Bank tried to add people to some Eero caravans, but they were boycotted by several large chambers of commerce in the Eero Empire. These chambers of commerce are not backed by Eero’s military expenditures. Who would believe such a thing!”

"A serious problem?" Mao Monaqing's face changed. "Your Majesty means that the Ero people will attack the imperial fleet!"

"The Aero people don't dare to fight on two fronts yet, so they directly attack the imperial fleet. The Aero people don't have the courage yet, they are just playing the trick of killing with a borrowed knife. I am sure that the number and traces of the imperial fleet have even reached the south. The time to go out to the sea must be on the desk of the King of Aden now!" The fat man curled his lips in disdain, saying that this kind of thing is not difficult. The imperial fleet has stayed in Kailuo Port for so long, and now it is heading south with great fanfare! , hundreds of naval battleships , Even if you want to hide it, you can't do it. Aero only needs to turn a blind eye to the eyes of the Aden people and ensure that every move of the imperial fleet is completely under the sight of Aden." If this is the case, why is your majesty He also agreed that the navy should go south. It is really too dangerous. I request your Majesty to recall the fleet immediately! Although there is no evidence to prove that Ai Luo asked people to join forces with the Aden people, what is the difference between this and joining forces! "Mao Monaqing's pretty face was anxious, Said quickly and eagerly

She did not expect that the situation of the Imperial Navy Fleet would be like this. Since His Majesty knew that the Elo people were harboring evil intentions, why did he still agree to the Navy Fleet's request to go south? This was simply sending a sheep into a tiger's mouth!

Everyone knows that the empire was able to establish its hegemony in the inland sea area in just a few years, mainly relying on the imperial naval fleet that swept across all major navies. If it wants to deal with the Falcon Empire, the naval fleet is a link that cannot be bypassed. , if the main force of the Imperial Navy fails to fight in the southern sea area, then the impact on the Empire in the inland sea area will be absolutely fatal! As the head of the Empire's Ministry of Internal Affairs, he naturally knows how terrible the consequences of such an impact will be!

"Don't worry, if it was before the empire controlled Feize in the south, of course I wouldn't dare to make such a decision." "But it's different now. Even if the main force of the naval fleet is not there, the empire has enough power to control the inland sea area!" The fat man stretched out his hand and touched it. Mo Naqing's beautiful, slightly pale face, her graceful face, and her soft eyes always make people feel relaxed and relaxed.

He comforted her and said, "Actually, it's not as serious as you think. The attack this time is only the Imperial Dragon Fang battleship. The thirty-seven most powerful Dragon-class battleships in the Empire are all still in the inland sea. I also mobilized the sixth garrison stationed from Imperial Capital Ocean City. , the ninth squadron rushed to the inland sea. In terms of naval power alone, it was enough to suppress the inland sea. "The fat man's voice paused and continued." As for Feize, the emperor The country's military strength in the southern region has increased to 250,000. Just ten days before the fleet goes south, I have agreed to a meeting agreement with another powerful country in the south, the Pope of the Wish Tree Order, to discuss the possibility of cooperation between the two countries, that is, He said that for three-quarters of the southern coastline of Obarro, even if there is no Imperial Navy fleet, there will not be any big problems, so there is nothing to worry about! "

"The Pope of the Order?"

Maumona blinked her light blue eyes. After the Feize Kingdom in the south was completely split by the empire, the most powerful country in the south was the Eero Empire, and the other one was the Wishing Tree Order. However, as a religious and unified country, the Wish Tree Order has always been hampered by the domestic rebellion in the south, so it is not yet worthy of the empire's full attention. On the contrary, the Ero Empire showed in this war with the Kingdom of Aden. Military power is what makes the empire pay attention. , but it has always been aloof and arrogant. How could the religious country, which calls itself the kingdom of God on earth, think of cooperating with the empire? I heard that this is a country controlled by all religions. During the Civil War, the father of the current pope died in the empire. During a raid by the *, thinking of this, Mao Monaqing couldn't help but worry and asked

"Will this meeting be dangerous?"

"Probably not. The meeting location is in an area controlled by the Empire. The Imperial Guards and the Divine Knights of the Order State will be in charge at that time."

The fat man laughed, knowing what Mao Monaqing was thinking, and said with a smile, "Since it was the Order State that proposed the meeting, the location was naturally chosen by the Empire. In fact, I personally think that the Order State's initiative to propose this meeting should have been chosen by the Ero Empire. A move that scares out the military power!"

"A frightening move?"

The more Mao Monaqing listened, the more confused she became. As the person in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, she didn’t know much about the situation in the south. This was the scope of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Turrit Colleen, and she had just received news that another imperial princess Tu Ritkolin has boarded the ship from Lisbon and is coming from the Istan area by sea. It seems that this is the reason!

The fat man said, "The rebellion in the southern part of the Order Kingdom has been unable to be quelled. It is said that it suffered another disastrous defeat last month. Six great knights responsible for the crusade against the rebels were killed in battle, and three arbitration armies were destroyed. This time, the Eero Empire and the Kingdom of Aden , just for Cornelia, the eastern seaport, the total number of troops invested by both sides exceeded two million, and the fierce fighting lasted for half a year. In terms of the scale and scale of the war, In terms of intensity, it has already surpassed the original North-South War between the Southern Alliance and the Empire for hegemony between the north and the south! If I were the Pope of the Order State, I would have to consider turning my attention to the Church if the Eros failed in the fight for Cornelia. The Religion Nation, whose vitality has never been restored, can stop the Ero people's army! Looking at the entire Obaro, who else has such power and qualifications except me, the Falcon Empire!"

"So that's it..." Mao Monaqing was obviously relieved. Although she was the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and was not very good at war, from the perspective of internal affairs, she was also frightened when looking at the battle between the Ero people and the Aden people. to the extent that Eero took the lead in setting off this The war was quite advanced from layout to strategy, and the Kingdom of Aden, as the party that rushed to fight, was at a disadvantage at the beginning, but as the war dragged on, its background was revealed step by step, and it was time for the empire to also The level of vigilance one has to be aware of

A local war with two million troops was fought for several months just for an eastern seaport. The logistics materials, transportation capacity, and national productivity involved were absolutely astronomical.

Even His Majesty Falcon himself had to admit that if the two kingdoms could come up with such military power at the beginning of the Civil War, the only thing the Imperial Army could do was to abandon the Istan region across the board and gather forces in the Feishan region. Start a fight to the death! This shows how lucky the empire was to win the Civil War!

Since Feize in the south was split into the central, southern and northern sections by the empire, the details of the Kingdom of Aden have slowly begun to be revealed in front of the empire. During this time, Mao Monaqing was also analyzing the situation of the Kingdom of Aden based on the intelligence sent back, and Putting the fighter planes that defeated the Kingdom of Aden on the decisive naval battle was one of Fatty's decisive plans for the Kingdom of Aden based on Mao Monaqing's analysis.

As for the Hero Empire, Mao Monaqing seemed quite embarrassed. The Ministry of Internal Affairs knew too little about the Hero Empire and was completely unable to analyze its national strength and economy. Although the two countries were nominally an alliance, in fact this was between the north and the south. If you wisely remain neutral during the war and do not conflict with the empire, you will have long ago The empire has been regarded as the biggest opponent, and it is too difficult to open a gap with various intelligence. In particular, His Majesty Falcon believes that according to the military strength of the Aero Empire, the navy continues to exist, and it should not be under the Aden Navy. The problem is, until Now, not even a shadow of the Ero people's navy can be seen;

His Majesty the Falcon had to guess that the naval power of the Ero Empire was not in the Obarro Inland Sea, but like the Aden people, it was concentrated in the sea area at the other end of the continent. Otherwise, with the military power of the Ero Empire, it would not be difficult to build a navy. After all, from a geographical perspective, the Ero Empire and the Kingdom of Aden are both countries lying between two major sea areas. If it were not for the 800-mile wide desert zone in the middle, the two countries could even be said to be connected together. It is not difficult to understand why the two kingdoms invested so much manpower in Cornelia, an eastern seaport, and fought each other.

Because from the map, Cornelia Port is located at the top of the eastern section of this desert zone, which is the strategic focus of the high ground.

The desert is not a completely dead place. The Kingdom of Aden has more than a dozen oases of different sizes dotted in it, like a road that leads directly to the hinterland of Aden in the coastal area. Anyone who wants to capture these oases must face a problem, that is, if the top Cornelia Port is not taken first, the attack Military operations in the rear oasis are a joke, because the Aden army can wait until the army attacking the oasis enters the desert and easily cut off the attacker's logistics supply line from the rear. In a desert like this, this is basically a dead end!

Just like in the early stage of this war, the Ero Empire* had been planning a long-awaited aggressive attack on Cornelia. After taking Cornelia, it quickly turned to attack the large oasis in the desert without having time to clean up. However, when it was advancing triumphantly, a cavalry of the Aden people turned out from the desert and raided Cornelia, cutting off the logistics line of the army in one fell swoop, and eventually led to the overturning of the entire war situation. In less than six days, 300,000 Ero troops hurriedly retreated from the oasis, and more than 100,000 soldiers died in the desert. It can be said that they were so miserable that they even lost their pants.

But from another perspective, if the Ero Empire can take Cornelia, it can completely use it as a support point for attack, send troops to continuously erode this desert area like a protective line, and finally form military oppression on the rear hinterland of the Kingdom of Aden! It's like a long zipper, and the top of the zipper is Cornelia. Whoever controls Cornelia controls the initiative of this desert barrier! The Ero people value this eastern seaport so much. If they say they have no intention of hoarding the navy, who would believe it!

Or, as the Navy Minister's secret report said, the Ero people gave up the construction of the navy just because of the foggy sea. This is too impossible! How could the ambitious Ero Empire look at this fat piece of meat in the inland sea and not move its mouth! (To be continued.)
