Compared with the central and northern region of Barro in southern Europe, which has just gone through the cold winter season, the climate near the southern coast of Erault has entered summer earlier. It is closer to the hot equator and has summer almost all year round. The only difference is that the hot summer and The summer is not yet hot, so the ocean monsoon can be continuously generated here to spread northward, bringing climate changes in winter and summer to the entire southern European Barro region. But it is also because the sea water is as blue as water in summer here all year round, which is rare. The area that still retains the architectural features of the original Southern Ero civilization. From the coastline here to the east, across a raised peninsula about fifty miles away, is the fertile area in the southern part of the Gulf of Aden. Since the war between the empire and the Aden Empire last year, a huge port city Southern Weisiya rose from the ground next to this outlet. A large number of transport ships docked here. Staring at the numerous towering white masts at the port outside the window, the Imperial Navy Minister Dostronkai withdrew his gaze from the window and put the gun in his hand. A top-secret investigation report was pressed on the table. The commander-in-chief of the Imperial Navy, who was called the Navy Buryer by the enemies of the Empire, had a stern expression on his face at this moment, even more than when he faced the Aden Navy in Mars Crescent Bay. The grim scene when hundreds of battleships came like a mountain. He was wearing a black Imperial Navy uniform. The sunlight outside the window shone on his straight back, drawing a long shadow on the brown floor. Although he was already the number one in the Imperial Navy. He is a human being, but his face that has been blown by the sea breeze all year round is even more dark and capable, and his eyes are cold and sharp, seeming to flash with movement and stillness. The report in front of him comes from the Imperial Navy's exploration fleet. Since receiving the emperor's report Following the secret order, this exploration fleet consisting of four Imperial Dragon Fang battleships, six transport ships, and a total of 670 people quietly left Weisiya. The exploration target of this fleet was the rumored Robbensam Island that was lost. , Robbensam Island is not far from the southern outlet of H¨¦rault, it is about a two-day voyage. There are rumors of a lost sea monster on Robbensam Island, which has been carried out by fishermen in the southern part of H¨¦rault for more than a hundred years. Years, but for the Imperial Navy, the rumors about a sea monster that makes people get lost, a giant squid that can swallow a large ship, and an unmanned ghost ship have long been proven to be false. Under the Imperial Thunder God, Everything is ashes! "At least the Imperial Navy has never encountered these so-called monsters and ghosts in a real sense since it traveled across the sea. The Imperial Navy is sweeping across the seas and is invincible. How many sailors who have been on the ship for many years will take these rumors seriously? Even the Imperial Navy Minister Dustronkai once said that even if these sea monsters really exist They will only run away when they see the Imperial Navy. If they don't run, use the Navy Thunder God to blast them all into rubbish. But at this moment, this report makes Dustronkai's nose breathe a little heavier. If the Kraken does not exist, Then this report is completely unexplainable, "One hundred and thirty-eight people landed on the island, twenty-seven were missing, and thirty-one fell ill. A small island with a width of only about twenty miles, even if it is densely forested and has no roads. , it would not take more than three or four hours to cross by oneself, but the exploration team was trapped here for four full days, and finally had to return along the original route. Are you sure that you are boarding this building that is only two meters long and wide? Robbensam Island, which is thirty miles away? It took three hours to cross, but in fact, we walked for three days and three nights without completing the task of crossing. We didn't even see the coastline on the other side. Finally, we heard singing, and one of the members fell to the ground inexplicably. In the case of death, we have to choose to retreat." A slightly older, middle-aged naval admiral stood upright in front of Dustronkai, with unconcealable fear in his pupils full of memories. He is an Imperial Navy admiral. Latina, the deputy minister of the Exploration Department, was once the admiral of the Strand Navy Fleet. After the Strand Navy was transferred to the Imperial Navy, Latina was transferred to the Imperial Navy's Exploration Department as the deputy minister because of his reputation for being good at exploration. Even if he was released. In the empire, Latina's reputation as a master of exploration is also extremely resounding. He once discovered four rumored large islands in the south and is known as the flying Strand. In terms of exploration, Latina is definitely at the top. As the maritime trade routes of the Empire become longer and longer, and more and more new areas are discovered, the Imperial Navy Exploration Department has become an important department of the Imperial Navy. Those who can enter the Imperial Navy Exploration Department are truly experienced veterans. The navy is very familiar with the islands and secrets in the maritime area, so Dostronkai does not think that Latina will lie on this matter. And this lie is too bizarre. It is twenty miles wide and lasts three days and three nights. Come out It wouldn't matter if it was a large island more than a hundred miles away. Robbensam Island is only that big, but thinking about the local fishermenRegarding the rumors about Robbensam Island, Dostelenko couldn't help but take a deep breath. There are sea monsters on Robbensam Island that can confuse people. Anyone who attempts to cross Robbensam Island will be killed. Either disappear or have to be returned. If it were in the past, Dustrunkai would have scoffed at such rumors, but now that similar reports are placed in front of him, is there really a confusing sea monster on Robbensam Island? ? Even if there is, so what, if the previous exploration fleet is not enough, then add another fleet to go over. The emperor is coming. Before that, he must find out the truth about Robbensam Island! "Okay, I understand. You can go down and rest first. Thank you for your hard work. As for the investigation of Robbensam Island, I will make other arrangements." Dostelenko nodded to Latina who looked guilty, and the Imperial Navy All efforts were made to build this naval port. To a certain extent, the Imperial Army raided the Kingdom of Aden from the north and south with more than 100,000 troops last winter, and the main force of the Imperial Navy rushed thousands of miles to attack the Aden Navy. Such a rare cooperative masterpiece between the Empire's sea and land, both It was to cover the construction of this naval city on the southern coastline of H¨¦rault. By the time Aden came to its senses, they were no longer able to interfere with the construction of the Weisiya Naval City. They could only watch helplessly as the empire laid down its foundation in this crucial strategic position. This nail and the Weisiya Naval City did not live up to the emperor's expectations. Although it was just a city, it pushed the empire's war from the north of H¨¦rault to the south of H¨¦rault. The imperial army no longer needed to cross Aden the next time it attacked. The thousand-mile river is so troublesome, but it only needs to go around the protruding peninsula in front. This is equivalent to putting the empire's cannon directly on the foreheads of the Aden people. It would be strange for the Aden people not to fight hard, but the emperor's attack on Aden The initiative to attack and the heavy blow to both the army and navy of Aden made the people of Aden helplessly watch this embarrassing situation that was almost at the gates of the city, and they were also afraid of the empire's increasingly solid war preparations. The Red Dragon Palace in Aden was like this He couldn't wait to cry and shout for a ceasefire with the empire. In fact, to a large extent, he was frightened by the naval city of Weixia! With a solemn expression, Dostelenko sorted out the reports on the table and stuffed them into the document bag, and then ordered people to send them to the emperor who was still in the holy capital of the Order State as quickly as possible. Since there was a problem with Robensam Island, he He could only report it truthfully and advise the emperor not to go to Robensam Island. When he handed the document bag to the adjutant at the door, he heard cheers from the street below. "Oh, has it started?" Dostelenko said Talking to himself, he turned around and looked in the direction where his eyes were looking. There were three or four black spots heading in this direction. Although Weixia Naval City has just completed construction and has not yet been completed in the outer area, it is already for The area has a population of more than 150,000, including 64,000 people in the Imperial Navy and Imperial Army. There are also 30,000 to 40,000 sailors and merchants in major transport fleets, and nearly 40,000 others. It was more than 20,000 various craftsmen and their families recruited from the H¨¦rault region. In the empire's planning, the Weisiya Naval City itself was not just a strategic naval port, but a real city, not only for military purposes. , and it is also for civilian use. From here, the Imperial Navy began to radiate to the entire Gulf of Aden, and the Imperial Merchant Fleet also began from here to enter the Gulf of Aden and the South China Sea, which it had never entered before, and began to open up the South China Sea subcontinent. Market, as the Southern Subcontinent market is still somewhat unfamiliar to imperial merchants, but the Southern Subcontinent has a huge demand for imperial goods. The empire exports to the Southern Subcontinent mainly military armors, weapons, and various luxury goods. European The specialties of the Barrow region, and the gold and silverware of the Southern Subcontinent are favored by the empire's emerging commercial aristocrats because of their exquisite carvings and high value. Weixia is becoming a transit hub for transactions between the empire and the Gulf of Aden region and the Southern Subcontinent. , this has been smelled by the sensitive imperial businessmen, and they are flocking to it. The imperial businessmen even call the Southern Subcontinent a golden land. And the miracle that is talked about is what can be seen every day in the sky. A huge aerial battleship slowly flew by. People living in Weixia get up early at five or six o'clock every morning. They either go to the window or stand on the street or balcony. Everyone is waiting quietly towards the southeast with their heads raised. There is almost never a delay. The huge air battleship always appears in people's sight at half past ten. The hull of the ship, which is more than ten meters long and several meters wide, makes the people below mesmerized. Many people even chased the air battleships and rushed through the streets. At this time, the galloping crowds, carriages and citizens riding horses formed a long stream of people. Suddenly, the morning, which should have been filled with silence and tranquility, became as joyful and noisy as a festival. Cheers can be heard everywhere, and the people below are cheering "Long Live the Empire". Such air battleships always fly slowly over the port city, and the whole process takes about an hour and a half.Because of this, the mornings in Vedsk, which always seemed so peaceful in the past, have now become extremely noisy, and the bars and restaurants that had always had the worst business in the mornings have now become extremely popular. People who have seen the excitement will come to these gathering places in groups, talking about every detail they saw today. Those various bars and restaurants have become a place for noises and arguments, and for gathering details, almost Everyone is here, describing in detail what they saw. These huge aerial battleships are naturally the masterpieces of the Imperial Navy. The Imperial Navy has finally completed the preliminary development of airships based on hot-air balloons. Weisiya Naval City, which serves as the Empire's deterrent presence in the Gulf of Aden, is naturally the Imperial Navy's designated location. At the location of the experimental airship, the Imperial Navy built an airship manufacturing plant here and conducted tests strictly in accordance with the requirements. However, the Imperial Navy itself did not realize that the daily cruise test of the airship would have such a huge impact on the entire region. This influence became a frightening deterrent in the eyes of the Red Dragon Palace of Aden. Those leaders of the slave rebellion who were still struggling in the southern part of the Gulf of Aden, after seeing the imperial airship dropping supplies over the southern trading place, also No one has made suggestions to rob imperial merchants anymore. The imperial airship made the mountain defense line of the Gulf of Aden useless. According to rumors among the people of Aden, the next imperial attack will be an airship full of imperial soldiers swarming the King of Aden. The sky above the city, not to mention, some people said that they saw the gun barrel of the Imperial Thor on this kind of air battleship. God, this alone is enough to make the entire Aden Military Headquarters explode. The tragic scene of the Imperial Navy's bombardment of Aden Anxi is still vivid. At present, the Gulf of Aden is now blocked and the Imperial Navy cannot enter, but this kind of air battleship is unimpeded. If this kind of air battleship can also bombard the capital of Asia from the air like the naval battleship Aden generals I feel like my eyes are going dark. This is a new assault tactic. The enemy comes from the air This has never happened in thousands of years. How to fight this! The results of many military exercises in Aden have proven that this is impossible to guard against. The opponent has air superiority and can launch an attack at any time, anywhere, or even directly on top of the Aden Palace. Unless Aden has an absolute military advantage, But the fact is exactly the opposite. The main force of the Aden Army is stuck in Central Asia. The war in South-East Asia is about to break out. It is even more difficult to mobilize any troops from the Gulf of Aden. If the imperial air warship attacks, Aden will be dead! "Send this order to the Air Force Department, and use the order from the Navy Headquarters to mobilize the two air ships to Robbensam Island." Dostelenko looked at the distant and near black shadow that gradually turned into the shape of the hull. After hesitating for a moment, he said to the adjutant who took the document, if land is not feasible, then explore from the air! He doesn't believe in any sirens. If there is one, then catch one!
