Steam calendar at 6 a.m. on May 22, 1029.

As specific information about the attack on the Hukou Strait was transmitted back to the capital of Oka, carriages rushed through the city with lights in this dark concrete forest city.

The Oka Empire Parliament urgently convened the Supreme Military Conference. In this meeting, Her Majesty the Queen was "ill" and did not attend.

Since the Queen Mother is not at home, all parties can do it without any effort.

The meeting was not going well at the beginning, and all parties seemed to be attending the meeting with a quarrel and blame.

On the Navy, Lantao Kona spoke on behalf of the Navy Group. He made a quick decision to declare that the Imperial Navy must now devote a lot of energy to deal with underwater threats, so it must suspend military operations in the Shuangqiu area.

As soon as this statement was made, the civil servants immediately became uproar and accused the navy of disregarding the overall situation and abandoning the interests of the empire.

Civilian: The missile threat of Bingnuke is still in the west. The navy must be forced to force Bingnuke away, otherwise this life will not be possible.

However, in the face of doubts within Congress, Lantao Kona asked the two captains to spread out the charts.

The superior professional pointed to the area east of the map and introduced the movements of the Mediterranean Fleet of the Hagia Sok Empire after the West incident.

Lantaokona: "The navy has a great mission and now there is no spare effort to accompany you."

What the admiral said was quite reasonable and well-founded. Given the power of submarine ambush warfare now, it is impossible for the navy to ignore anti-submarine in its subsequent operations.

Although Bingkan's submarine attack could not be said to completely destroy the Oka Navy, it eventually became the last brick to defeat the Oka political cooperation system.

Now the Oka Navy has decided to organize a group of anti-submarine frigates to minimize the threat of submarines by repeatedly patrolling the waterway. However, if you do so, the Oka Navy's strength will be in short supply in other aspects.

Now the Oka Navy is not just about fighting West's submarines. After the West Incident began, the St. Souk Navy was the main target of defense for the Oka Navy. Now, another shelling landing battle against the Double Hill Highlands was maintained. The stall was too big, the line was too long, and there were too many loopholes.

It is not impossible to knock down a battleship by a submarine. So Lantao Kona is now in the parliament to build a large-scale escort warship.

[Because there is no consensus on total war within Oka, it is very difficult to make decisions to increase investment and expand the war now.]

Before the war, Binghe scattered so many flyers, which made the entire Oka country feel that the war is just a frost. The personal grudge between Lin Yin and the superior family and the guy Gun Yan Binghe. As long as the upper class of the empire talks with the genius fortress of the Gun Yan family, there is actually no need to fight so fiercely.

Especially in recent days, the Gun Flame has not been bombarded much, but has just thrown leaflets in the city and repeatedly denounced the despicable and shameless behavior of "assassination and betrayal". Under such information offensive, Oka's domestic feeling that there is no need for the war to continue to intensify.

Therefore, these small and medium-sized nobles in Oka have a tendency to compromise on this war and hope to resolve this contradiction at the lowest cost.

Therefore, the Oka government is not only unable to increase the war budget, but also has to deal with the opposition from the middle and lower aristocrats.

Of course, the way small and medium-sized aristocrats express their "opposition" is by no means standing up and denying the great aristocrats, but rather not cooperating with the rule of the top leaders in the current chaotic situation, such as hoarding a large amount of materials and hiding them, raising prices, and seeking huge profits.

Oka belongs to a constitutional monarchy and its social organizational power is completely incomparable to modern society. Under such a chaotic crisis, they are unable to conduct detailed social investigations.

When the market supply crisis occurred in the Oka Empire, it was difficult for the top figures of the Empire to effectively manage the domestic situation. Now, even the Imperial military is troubled by insufficient materials.

But no matter what the consequences are, they will directly requisition once they find that a merchant is selling supplies.

This behavior further exacerbated the market crisis. Merchants panicly withdrew supplies from big cities and transported them to the noble territory that protected them. Now the domestic market of Oka is on the verge of collapse.

The nobles who controlled a large amount of materials were also worried. They were worried that things would become long-term and that they would affect their family interests. So while they stepped up control of key materials, they also began to mobilize political forces to demand that the upper levels of the empire properly resolve the conflict.

Back to the meeting, the Navy had just made its own request, and Oka's civil servant group's face immediately became very ugly. Oka's domestic order has not been restored, and the situation is so difficult, and the Navy is now directly threatening the cabinet!

Before he could hear the Navy's funding plan, the Prime Minister began to directly denounce it.

This made the navy's new general point directly at the Prime Minister's nose and began to swear: "Today's Gun Flame? Bingke is the mechanical controller of the Imperial Navy brought to the Toulon Port in the Mediterranean. Why did this person leave Oka? Why did he get rid of the Imperial Mission in Vikra? Why did he get angry with the Empire in Vikra? It's all because of you! You steal the high position! You are not good at morality! You are jealous of your genius! You genius!"

The Prime Minister was scolded by Lan Tao? Kona, and his blood pressure increased and his face turned blue.

Seeing that the young fortress of Lantao's family was getting more and more ugly, Duke Lin Yin, who was beside him, wanted to persuade him to fight, but he didn't know that General Lantao turned his finger and pointed at the old senior of the Army Marshal, and cursed together: "The imperial army's cannons are strong and powerful, and you are waiting for a horse manure and thieves to tie the bags with sharp swords. Why not shave them into prostitution?"

Next, the fists are in conversation. Today, the Oka Parliament's fists collided particularly fiercely, and the sound can be heard throughout the walkway.

The queen, outside the wall in the conference hall, was holding a strand of bloody hair, while the dog that was pulled off had his tail stomped in the cage and did not dare to approach the evil old woman.

[Compared with the chaos in the capital of Oka, the sky on Saint-Sauke is particularly clear.]

In the palace residence on the highest level of the Celestial Tower.

"Clap", the ice hit the glass, making a crisp sound. His Majesty Jialong's mood was as cheerful as the sound of ice clashing.

The emperor put down his wine glass with ice and lay relaxed on the sofa, watching the realism of the West War played on the movie screen.

Airship bombing, cruise ships and ground airships rush into and occupy train stations, bridges, and major traffic arteries.

The emperor watched this image repeatedly, but he was still not tired of watching it.

When the scene of the annihilation battle against the southern army of Pratt & Whits was played, His Majesty picked up his cup and stood up, looking at the map played on the film screen, looking at the high-altitude airships slowly shifting a line of hundreds of kilometers on the animation, and the arrows representing the ground cavalry.

His Majesty the Emperor stared at the film screen and fell into deep thought.

"The huge army collapsed under the firepower of the sky, and the expensive mechanical infantry regiment was hit by precise attacks before it arrived at the battlefield. How should the future war go on?" The emperor couldn't help but ask himself in confusion.

"Dangdang" and the knock on the door interrupted the emperor's thoughts.

The royal servant walked in respectfully and submitted the latest information. The emperor looked at the specific combat damages of the main ships in the Hukou Harbour area.

After confirming the amount of losses in the Oka Empire, the emperor took a deep breath and ordered the servant beside him: "I will send a telegram to Prun Port and prepare me paper and pen."

[Steam calendar May 26, 1029, the fifth day after the Hukou Strait raid.]

As the submarine troops returned to the port one by one, the submarine members who were frustrated and sunken in front of the port were also rescued, the port became busier and busier. As the support fleet of the St. Sok Empire arrived at the Sea Crab Port, the 15th St. Sok Division arrived in West, which almost squeezed out every manpower in the entire Sea Crab Port.

Dock workers were repairing ships, and dock workers controlled the dock to transport goods mechanically. All the chefs in the city were gathered and prepared food for the workers all night in the kitchen of the dock. Even the prostitutes in the city worked much harder because of the arrival of the St. Soc soldiers.

Of course, although the whole city has worked hard, no one complains about his fatigue. Because the port, from the nobles to the beggars, all understand that the huge war dividend is coming. The most direct reaction to the signs of prosperity is land prices, and now even the land prices in slums are rising.

But how should such a great war bonus be divided? On the night of the 26th, in the Bloody Villa on the southeast side of the Crab Port, a large number of local nobles, senior officers of St. Sark, and nobles from other places from West gathered together. Dakong, the head of the Bloody Rose family, held the banquet.

Since Binghe was presided over the handover with Pratt-Whiss prisoners of war in the north and wanted to welcome Virian back, he did not attend, which made the attendees very regretful, and of course, he was more nervous.

Those nobles who had not had time to make the right choice before the war now wanted to find out at this banquet. At the same time, the nobles in West were inseparable marriages, and they needed allies to help them in the dividends.

"Everyone, the first cup, I wish you a long victory and no defeat!" Dakong, who was hosting the banquet, raised his wine glass to Beibianyao and said the usual opening words. Everyone present raised his wine glasses.

"The second cup, I wish the Gangluan family will last forever!" Then I had another glass of wine together.

"The third cup, I wish you the Holy Majesty Emperor Saint Soc, Saint!" Then the glass was raised to the east. Everyone repeated this sentence like a repeater.

After the above political big talk that compliments the superiors, the nobles at the banquet began to discuss with each other.

It is the same as when holding a large rally on Earth, saying "Hold up any banner, and under the great leadership of something, we are doing what we are doing."
