Extraordinary Voyage Chapter 370: Bad news and major earthquakes

　　Newin Harbor, Royal Naval Academy, in the quiet office belonging to the vice president.

　　 On the wall is a bust belonging to the contemporary Queen Betisia Falettis. Behind him is a huge map of the explored world. The mahogany bookshelf is full of geography, politics, Books on economy, military equipment, literature, art, etc.

　　Of course, there is also a weapon rack with muskets and various sophisticated cold weapons.

　　 Obviously besides the vice-principal of the college, as a crown prince, the daily life of His Royal Highness Livina is also exceptionally fulfilling!

　　"Well, Lieutenant General Gustav and the East Lundz Company moved very fast. The first batch of silver ingots had already been produced when the kingdom colony had no relevant foundation?

　　 Although it only shared the silver mines on Island Three with Sack and Atlan, this year should be enough to give the Kingdom’s chancellor a sigh of relief.

　　, along with the specific course of action, are there detailed reports and a drawing of a battleship? "

　　 did not expand the view for the first time.

　　 Livina, who has been dealing with administrative affairs for a long time, stretched out a little bit unfairly. The tightened navy uniform outlines the perfect figure of this pinnacle knight, but it is a pity that no one has such a blessing to see the beauty of Her Royal Highness at this time.

　　 In order to cultivate the crown prince’s abilities, all the information that has been passed back to the royal capital Bekele, the various documents that need to be viewed by the queen, and the administrative decisions of the kingdom will also be passed on to Livina.

　　 Although these things have already passed multiple instructions from the Queen and the adults who are in the royal capital, coming to her is just a cutscene. But she also needs to put forward suggestions for handling, because a lot of teachers are still waiting to approve her "homework."

　　 Now that there is no rush for the transfer of power, it is obvious that any good heir must go through enough experience!

　　 and Falettis’s situation is different from that of Hilius. Although the queen has well balanced the interests of all parties and controls the army and the highest-end extraordinary power with absolute power, she is far from the totalitarian power of Hilius. Doctrine is still far away.

　　 Because the economic foundation determines the superstructure!

　　The domestic steam industry, which is now a leading example of the mainland, cannot tolerate the political system that over-centralizes power in an attempt to control and possess everything.

　　 When most people lose their initiative, upward channels, and even personal wealth, the country will only be lifeless, especially in industry and commerce.

　　 So after several adaptive reforms.

　　 It is not so much that the ruler of this country is the supreme queen, it is more of a large group of interest groups that share the same ideals and goals with the queen, but Her Majesty controls most of the armed forces and guards this country .

　　 And Livina’s performance was of course stared at by many pairs of eyes, even though she is now the only legal heir.

　　 But if the performance is really unqualified, even the ruling class's interests will be harmed because of lack of ability. Then the rights that are part of her will inevitably be weakened by the members of the upper parliament headed by the great nobles who also adopt the hereditary system.

　　 This is a political game, unless you want to become a tyrant who rules by force, this kind of thing has nothing to do with whose fist is bigger.

　　 "Hey, sometimes I am really envious of Big Sister"

　　 Livina looked at the gradual rejuvenation of the campus outside the window, patted her cheek lightly, retracted her inexplicable thoughts, and picked up the drawing.

　　 just looked at the signature and a smile appeared on her face:

　　 "As expected of my guardian knight!

　　The appearance of the battle for Potosi is dazzling.

　　 was the first to obtain the information of the silver mine, and blocked the main supply line of Hilius while hiding himself, and finally completed the battle on the advance island.

　　 Hilius, who used the time difference to give the overall strength an advantage, also had to compromise and gave up part of the interests that belonged to Potosí.

　　 and it didn't take long for him to be promoted to an official wizard, which is really impressive.

　　 Let me think about what should I reward him besides the military job?

　　 Higher authority in "Violet Eye"? Ocean Secret Treasure? Witchcraft material? Mysterious knowledge? Still"

　　Because of Ivan's identity as a guardian knight, his military exploits are of course also part of Wella's advantage, and her recent performance has greatly raised her face.

　　 Even the finished silver ingots belonging to the No. 3 silver mine have not yet been shipped back, but in the recent period, the Crown Prince has received a lot of praise.

　　Even the "Rosemite Sword Saint" who has not paid much attention to mundane affairs has rarely expressed his concern for him. It is obvious that "Jane is in the emperor's heart".

　　 Of course she was in a good mood when she saw Aiwen's name.

　　 Then I went to look at the content on the drawing, the ship structure, the transformation principle, the firepower configuration of the final ship, and the performance parameters. It took a long time to look complicated and sigh:

　　 "Huh! Ivan didn't study under the principal of Princeton, and I don't know whose loss it was."

　　The invention of weapons can only exert its greatest value in the hands of large forces at the level of the country. Moreover, the transformation plan was jointly completed by Ivan and the ship engineer named Walkley Jeffery, and there was no The need to continue to conceal.

　　 simply dedicated it to his lord, he is still very relieved of Livina's style, at least he won't let himself suffer.

　　 suddenly.

　　咚! Boom! Boom!

　　 "Come in."

　　, an assistant in uniform, Linda pushed in and put a pot of freshly brewed black tea and a letter from "Violet Eye" on Livina's desk.

　　 "His Royal Highness, rest for a while, it just so happens that there is a personal letter from you here."

　　 put down the drawing of the heavy equipment cruise ship, picked up the letterhead that had been sealed by the receiver of the witchcraft association, and with some surprise, pulled out a biying and thin letter paper.

　　The slender eyebrows are slightly raised:

　　"Huh? An urgent letter sent by the "Spirit World Messenger"? It turned out to be Aiwen?

　　Not long after he was officially promoted, did he already have his own spiritual messenger? "

　　 unfolded the letter paper and glanced roughly, and couldn't help but let out a chuckle:

　　"Is this aimed at Hilius? Ha ha, our Captain Ivan doesn't have a small tone!"

　　 Seeing the title, Livina knew what the letter was saying. At first, she didn’t care too much. After all, with her own experience and experience at this time, she couldn’t imagine how to completely turn the seemingly invincible. Hilius lowered the altar.

　　 Not even one of the senior leaders of the kingdom can come up with a feasible plan. Livina does not think that a young man who is only seventeen years old can have a far-sighted vision.

　　 If another person writes this kind of thing, even the elite young noblemen in the royal capital, I am afraid that she would just throw it into the trash without even the interest of a glance.

　　 Even if it’s just for the name Aiwen, it’s worth taking the time to read this letter. By the way, write a reply letter and give him some pointers, what is the situation on the mainland, what is a strategy, and what is a big country? Game, otherwise I'm sorry for the theoretical knowledge I learned.

　　 Even if I don’t think the plan in the letter is feasible, the original intention of this guy who advises the kingdom must be resolutely maintained!

　　 However.

　　 Although the paper is thin, the amount of information in it is really a lot, and there is no false big empty word or inexplicable slogans. Large-scale theoretical analysis and specific solutions, and various data are listed clearly.

　　 just glanced at the text, and Livina was completely sunk.

　　 Then, after reading it again and again, the expression on his face kept changing.

　　 Wow

　　 Until the pot of tea sent by Linda was almost cold, she suddenly stood up and almost brought the back chair behind her back:

　　 "Linda, hurry up! Let's go to the principal of Princeton, I need to use his power to talk to your Majesty in real time!"

　　 Before leaving the room on a windy walk, she didn't forget to take the drawing of the battleship.

　　If this can be implemented smoothly, perhaps this new type of warship that abandons large fleet operations and is designed to break the battle will have a very different meaning to the kingdom!

　　Time flies.

　　 a week later.

　　 The streets and alleys still have the festive atmosphere of the previous engagement ceremony in Santa Cruz, the capital of Sirius, ushered in a battleship with fiery red sails.

　　 "Red Maple" did not dare to cross the "Eye of the Black Sea~IndoMTL.com~" after escaping the "Maelstrom" but yaw north and entered the Trident Ocean Current, with its extraordinary ability and The help of ocean currents to return to the sea at an extremely fast speed.

　　 Under normal circumstances, the shortest route for the large fleet to travel through the "Eye of the Black Sea" would take more than two months, and it would take more than a month from the "Eye of the Black Sea". The "Red Maple" only took eight days. .

　　 But they did not bring good news to the long-awaited Hilius executives.

　　 or it is more appropriate to bring bad news.

　　The large fleet loaded with countless gold and silver treasures encountered the invincible "Maelstrom" Charybdis in the "Eye of the Black Sea" and the entire army was destroyed!

　　 was shocked to hear this news. From Philip II to the senior officials of the kingdom, they have no longer cared about investigating this natural disaster or a man-made disaster, and even cared about the huge loss that was enough to make people vomit blood.

　　Because of the more pressing issue before them.

The demise of the 　　 Treasure Fleet also means: This country, which is based on the army, has almost lost its military expenditure for the next whole year!

　　 and must do everything possible to make up for it, otherwise a series of chain reactions will be unimaginable.

　　 And where can such an astronomical deficit be made up?

　　 "Still an overseas colony"

　　 At the same time.

　　 The aftermath of the earthquake has spread far away.

　　Even under the strong blockade, the influence of this news is no less than that of a financial tsunami that occurred in the modern world.

　　East to the Peacock Islands, west to the New World across the eastern and western boundaries of the world that mankind has proved, many people smell the faint aura of anxiety in the air, that comes from every Hilius garrison base around them like the Great Wall on the sea
