Marquis Whitehead looked at Anne without any expression, and after a while he showed regret, he said, "You were different from others when you were a child. You are better than all my children, including your elder brother.

I have been worried about this. If you were a boy, I would send your brothers to a remote place without hesitation and declare you as my first heir.

But you are a woman, and I can only cultivate you into the guardian of the family, not the leader of the family.

This is the helplessness of being an important family in the empire and the fate that the children of the family must face.

You... also have this enlightenment.

Therefore I have arranged for you to enter the Imperial Navy Command as an intelligence consultant.”

As a child of the Whitehead family, Anne has long accepted her identity and destiny, and she is willing to contribute everything to the family. She knows that the big family has shown in the empire that although it is glorious, it is also in danger. If the family stands tall, someone must make sacrifices. Although the Marquis is not a good father, he is definitely a competent family leader.

However, Anne could not have imagined that her father would arrange for herself to be in the newly established Naval Command. Although she was also engaged in intelligence work, the span was indeed a bit large.

"Father, I'm afraid I can't do the job of the Navy."

The Marquis said: "There are not many people in the Flormink Empire capable of the work of the navy. I have obtained the list of the Imperial Naval Command, and they are basically generals transferred by the army. It seems that the Empire has become very vigilant about the naval parts under the Azure Corps and has not allowed them to participate in the establishment of the Imperial Navy Fleet.

The Imperial Navy Command is directly responsible to the Imperial Emperor.

At my suggestion, the Navy Command will be established in Saroyan.”

Marquis Whitehead was talking about the secrets of the empire. Everyone knew that the Florminke Empire was going to build the Imperial Naval Fleet, but no one knew the specific details, because even the Imperial Emperor did not make the final decision on the establishment of the Navy Fleet.

The Imperial Navy's large fleet had a great impact on the future national strength of the Flormink Empire, but as a traditional inland empire, no one had the ability to lead a large fleet. The navy of the Azure Corps was originally formed to cultivate naval talents for the empire and accumulate maritime experience. However, Marquis Whitehead's exposure of the various bad deeds of the Azure Corps made the imperial emperor dare not use these corrupt Azure Corps navies.

It is a helpless move to call army officers to form a naval headquarters. Fortunately, the construction of the large fleet takes time, and all naval warships will not be built at once. The Imperial Navy can send international students and learn naval combat tactics during this period. It can first purchase some small warships eliminated by foreign navies as training ships, so that naval officers and sailors can conduct practical navigation exercises.

This solution to rush the ducks to put them on the shelves is really helpless. The construction of the Imperial Navy has been delayed for too long, and the environment is harsh. If you don’t bite the bullet and build a large fleet, you probably will never be built.

Anne knew why her father arranged for her to the Navy Command.

Neither the Marcels parliament nor the Eastern countries would sit by and watch the Empire's large fleet form combat power, and they will definitely find ways to obstruct them in every way. The Special Security Bureau cannot interfere in military affairs, and the military has its own intelligence agency. Marquis Whitehead lets Anne enter the Navy Command as an intelligence consultant, which is equivalent to pushing Anne to the future Saroyan intelligence front line, and the danger is naturally self-evident. : : Computer terminal::/

"Yes, Father. I follow your arrangements... When will I hand over to Kemir and report to the Navy Command?"

Marquis Whitehead knew that Anne would not refuse, and nodded with relief and said, "It will take some time for the Navy Command to be formed. In just ten days, the Navy Minister will lead a naval officer regiment to Saroyan. At that time, the Imperial Navy will bid for the entire large fleet construction project.

The Imperial Navy will give priority to the Imperial Native companies, followed by the Marcelese Province. If there is no company in the Imperial Native and the province that can meet the Navy's requirements, foreign companies are the last choice.

In short, Your Majesty has issued a death order, and the Imperial Navy has no time to wait. It must be confirmed in this tender that the Empire will have a large fleet. Even if all ships in the entire fleet are left to be built by foreign shipbuilding ships...

There will definitely be someone trying to destroy the Empire's Great Fleet Plan, and your mission is to make sure this tender goes smoothly."

"I understand, father." Anne took on this task and said: "In fact, we use the special steel provided by Master Liang. In the design of the warship, we should not need to be too advanced. The defense of the hull itself, coupled with the large-caliber naval gun cast by the Empire using special steel, can allow our large fleet to compete with the navies of other countries."

Speaking of special steel, the Marquis couldn't help but think of the Saroyang First Steel Plant, which has not yet been put into production. Most of the equipment of the steel plant is provided by the Whitehead family, and all are very, very ordinary machines. The entire steel plant is no different from other steel plants inside and outside the steel plant, and even the steelmaking raw materials purchased and stored in the warehouse are not special.

Without special machines and special raw materials, how can you make such high-strength special steel?

Marquis Whitehead was puzzled.

As the Navy Officer Corps is about to come to Saroyan, the Imperial Navy Fleet bidding will also be launched in the short term. Without mass-produced special steel, many things cannot be operated.

The Marquis replied to Anne: "But it is not me who controls the First Steel Plant of Saroyan. The market for these special steels will cover the entire world in the next few years, and our fleet has no advantage in materials.

Young Master Liang... I can't see through him. He cooperated with us to build a steel plant and carried out several research projects with the parliament. After the steel plant was completed, the Holy See sent workers to help him build a shipyard.

What exactly did he want to do? Is he still planning to participate in the bid for the design of the Imperial Navy Fleet warship?

What makes me even more afraid of is... Scarlett Company actually acknowledged that Black Fire Company became their competitor. They abolished the branch in the Marcelères area and gave the entire market to Black Fire Company. Why did this newly-rise company make Scarlett Company ignore the killing of the president of its branch and make such a big concession?

Annie, I know that you are aware of Young Master Liang’s identity and the background of Black Fire Company, and you have always stopped me from investigating them. You are the safe distance between Young Master Liang and Young Master Liang, but you should also know that you are a member of the Whitehead family. Do what you should do and don’t let him become an enemy of the empire.

And... answer me.

Does Scarab Company’s attitude towards Black Fire Company meet the strength of Black Fire Company and Master Liang?”

Anne replied without hesitation: "The attitude of Scarab is very normal. I believe that Scarabab has had many conflicts with Black Fire Company.
