Extraordinary Voyage Chapter 703: The queen is here
"Ivan, if Mercury Shipyard's production capacity can continue to expand, according to your plan of replacing construction time with service life, it shouldn't be a problem to launch more than 25 iron-ribbed Tier 4 battleships within two years, right?"
Beep--!
哐哐哐...
In the long whistle, an unstoppable steel beast crushed the snow-white steam, flew from south to north along the long dragon-like railroad track, and entered a dark tunnel through the mountains.
Now.
After a year of sub-construction by the "Coastal Railway Company", the entire line has been opened to traffic from Buffalo to Carbushur, from Georgia to Charles. With the addition of the "Georgia Corridor" that originally connected Georgia and Yuanfanling, the entire coastal railway that runs through the colony of Falitis has been completed by more than one third.
If the progress goes well, the construction speed in the later period can be accelerated slightly. Perhaps by the end of next year, the entire coastal railway from St. Ivan to Yuanfan Port will be officially opened to traffic.
It can fully afford a considerable part of the business that originally belonged to shipping in the colonies. By allowing ocean-going ships to load and unload cargo directly in St. Ivan, the time saved in the middle may allow them to make an extra trip to the old and new continents during the seaworthy season. That is, even if there is no slave trade involved, they can reach an amazing profit of 300%.
At that time, the role of Long Island Port, the best port on the east coast, will really take off.
On this trip to the Queen’s train headed by Far Sails to Georgia, sitting in the walnut seat of the luxury carriage, holding a small ivory fan, a gorgeous low-cut court dress and wearing a jeweled crown. Na, graceful and glamorous, she is radiant and radiant.
Anita, dressed in a women's major general uniform, is valiantly and gracious. As the well-deserved number one female knight in the kingdom, she temporarily serves as the queen's guardian. She sits next to Livina and looks intimacy.
Also habitually wearing a general uniform, the tall and heroic Aiwen sat across a small table opposite them.
"Your beautiful majesty, as long as the money is in place, the posture will do anything...cough cough, rest assured, there is no problem!"
Ivan promised, patting his chest.
At this time, a week has passed.
Without letting the [Emerald Corona] fly back all the way on its own, Ivan directly launched [Dream Cruise] to receive the two of them, including the huge team that was visiting with a whole queen, to Yuan Fanling.
Because Livina did not come for the first stop of the trip just to connect with feelings, she toured the Mercury Shipyard and a group of Tier 4 battleships with iron ribbed shells under construction.
It's just that.
Livina looked at the stingy guy in front of him, her eyes could not help but a little bit of resentment, she couldn't help but taking advantage of the darkness in the tunnel, raised her right foot with golden high heels under her skirt and lightly stepped on the back of Ivan's instep. one time.
As soon as the upper lip and the lower lip touched, hundreds of thousands of golden lions were spent like this, and there was no discount, but this sum of money really had to be spent.
The southern continent now has the Oyo tribe as the agent of the kingdom, replacing the original status of Dahomey. The slave trade in the southern continent is completely the kingdom's world, but the Clemente of the Sark Empire with the largest territory The prince's attitude became more and more ambiguous.
Ugor Island, after several years of construction, at the beginning of the year, several ports on Ugor Island had been partially put into use, becoming bridgeheads connecting east and west routes. While the cargo throughput is rising rapidly, the call for the establishment of the Fourth Fleet is also increasing.
In addition, the local Portsmouth Royal Naval Shipyard has launched three Galliot heavy cruisers.
The general plan of the military is to build a total of six such warships in the future, together with a certain number of new-type fourth-tier ships, to launch a destructive battle against the "Peacock Islands Route", another pillar of the Hilius Empire.
Give the kingdom a strategic initiative.
The site seems not small, but troops are needed everywhere, and the kingdom's fleet is in urgent need of expansion!
Only the New World where Ivan was stationed did not allow the kingdom to send more soldiers even under the impact of the spiritual tide, and the rapid growth of products, industrial raw materials, and finished products year after year has contributed greatly to the economic development of the kingdom.
Looking at Aiwen, I can’t help but sigh:
"Well, it is really difficult to drive the kingdom’s carriage, and want to break the siege among the nations of the world!"
Aven, who was lightly stepped on by Livina, didn't care. If she could exchange hundreds of thousands of Golden Lion orders with one foot, she would like to let her step on a few more feet. Hearing her sigh, he smiled and said:
"Your Majesty, Sark, Atlan, and even some guys in the alliance are unreliable. There are no eternal allies between countries, only eternal interests.
Do you believe it or not that if there is a sign of Phalitis taking Hilius instead, these guys will definitely jump out and drag us back?
Although "ethics" is a product of the continuous progress of human civilization, there may be individuals in this world who serve as moral models, but there is absolutely no possibility of organizations or countries with moral models.
Even if a saint is the leader of this organization, if he cannot unite within the organization and consider everything for the collective benefit, then he will inevitably be overthrown, and then he will be severely stepped on 10,000 feet by those with vested interests. .
Even if there is a superficial morality between countries, it is only to hide the demands of greater interests! Actually, aren’t we the same?
By the way, your Majesty, has the ‘dismemberment plan’ that we discussed last time started? "
Speaking of this, Livina became excited at once, unfolded the hollow ivory fan and slapped it, her charming face almost showed light:
"Ha, according to the action plan we discussed before, a large number of intelligence personnel in the kingdom have entered the Kingdom of Frisia in various identities, buying newspapers, theaters, and poets... and began to guide public opinion to incite all classes, especially the upper class. The society’s hatred of Hilius.
The same goes for the Hilius Empire. We have already revealed little by little information related to the movement of the "Fortune Church" that we have collected in the past to the relevant departments of Hilius.
Even if there is a Queen Teresa who is said to be pregnant, her status has risen sharply. But it won’t be long before the empire’s high-level guards on the key money bag of the Kingdom of Frisia will be greatly deepened, and they will definitely want to do something to deepen their control over Frisia.
In fact, our intelligence personnel have discovered that there is no need to risk contact with any core figures. Because of the systematic and difficult to reconcile contradictions, coupled with the eye of the "Black Wing God", the outbreak of the contradiction between the two sides is now only a small spark. "
Hearing this, Ivan immediately interjected:
"Obviously, the good days for Hilius have not been long. What we have to do is to make them lose as much as possible when they are separated... even more heavier!"
Speaking of this, a pair of black eyes and a pair of lake green eyes looked at each other, and then they smiled tacitly and knowingly:
‘Oh ha ha...we’re such a scumbag! ’
At this time, even Anita who was listening in the whole process, as the sister and good friend of the two, couldn't integrate into their conversation at all, and she didn't even understand the meaning of the cryptic words in the words.
Shrug your shoulders, and enjoy the late autumn scenery flashing through the window.
Although because of the witchcraft inspired by Ivan, the well-known entourage in the carriage can't hear what state secrets they are talking about, but they can't help but envy this careless man who can talk to Her Majesty the Queen. Marquis de Te.
He was originally a guardian knight. During the military school, she joined the second queen Livina, who was still the crown prince at the time, and was promoted to a high-ranking wizard at a flying speed. She has long been Her Majesty’s most core and trusted minister of the hidden residence.
The first stop after leaving the mainland after he succeeded to the throne came to the territory of the Marquis of Galliot in the New World, which is enough to illustrate the status of the Marquis in the eyes of Her Majesty the Queen.
There is no doubt that in her Majesty’s reign for at least thirty years in the future, even if she has a destined significant other half after marriage, the Marquis will be the hottest figure in the entire kingdom. Can't be spoiled.
As for Hou Guoguo, will not catch up with the kingdom in thirty years? Even the most neurotic of this group of people has never had such absurd ideas.
The other people's thoughts did not affect the talk of the two of them in the slightest. After talking about the follow-up plan for a while, Livina suddenly thought of another thing:
"Aven, our intelligence personnel planted in the Deputy King District of New Hillius has already reported the news back.
The ‘Fire of Thorns’ you encountered in the ‘Broken Star Sea’ should have received help from the Deputy King Flavio there and came to the New World to respond to the threat of the ‘Mother of Water’ Melo.
Furthermore, they retreated a thousand kilometers before the border line and lost a large area of precious metal mines. At the beginning, Hilius could not take a shot at homeland, but now that the "religious war" has gradually subsided, it is obviously impossible to sit idly by.
Heh, the output of gold and silver is directly linked to the quality of life of the empire's dignitaries! "
There is ridicule in the tone. The kingdom uses the proceeds of looting and management to support the development of the steam industry, but these guys use it for their own high-end consumption, which is really...enviable, jealous and hateful.
Who doesn't want to have a good day? right?
"Um... this possibility is justified."
Since it wasn't for himself, Ivan didn't go to multi-management anymore, just instructed the bass responsible for intelligence to closely monitor, and don't let this powerful "titled knight" who can't be ignored have the opportunity to jump out and spoil him.
Then the dusk grew stronger.
After Livina experienced the charm of a steam locomotive, and promised to convene a council to discuss the feasibility of introducing this new type of transportation.
Slap——!
A snapped finger.
The group of people on the steam locomotive ~IndoMTL.com~ has been directly transmitted by Ivan to the northernmost city of St. Ivan, Buffalo.
Olivia, who has been preparing for the welcome banquet for a long time, is all dressed up. As the hostess of the Galliot family, she has led a group of "Edwin" maids to wait for a long time in the "White Swan Castle".
......
Under the same night.
New Hilius Deputy King District, located in Huarez, the capital inland on the west bank of the Golden Sea.
"Prince Manolo was assassinated? Death Messenger... Fleet... [Legendary Battleship·Flaming Light]...Target...Falitis Colony?!"
In the "Broken Sea of Stars", he was attacked by an unknown transcendent of the legal system, his troops were wiped out, and he returned to the "Fire of Thorns" in the Deputy King District of New Hilius alone, slowly unfolding the "Fire of Fire" guarded by his hand. A letter from the spiritual world sent by a clergyman.
At this time.
The candle light on the desk shined on his extremely gloomy face for several days. It was uncertain, like a ghost!
