Chapter 87 The Grand Fleet Plan Opens
Freshwater is a very valuable resource on Mars. Every human settlement has a complete water purification system that recycles limited water.
Although it would be a bit disgusting to think about it, this is what humans must face after entering the universe.
Wang Yier knew that the piece of paper with characteristics she washed away would be obtained by the person who deserved it in the purification system, and then the information she left on it could be transmitted.
"I encountered a very special task here. I think this task has great follow-up value, and I hope to get more support and further improve my resume.
Please focus on investigating the scarab company. Clues: Kirk, vegetable farmer, and individual very powerful creatures…”
...
When the Star Alliance Scarab Company was about to send the advance special forces of Order Star and officially entered the training stage, on Order Star, the news that the Florminke Empire was about to build a large naval fleet was officially announced, and it caused quite a stir in the whole world.
The Florminke Empire was a traditional inland power. Even though it occupied Marcelus for two hundred years and connected its territory to the ocean, in the eyes of other countries, the Florminke Empire was still an inland country.
Because the Flormink Empire did not have a strong enough navy, and the only fleet belonging to the Azure Corps had only dozens of small battleships. It was more than enough to strike the smuggling of illegal merchants, but if you want to compete for maritime interests with other maritime powers, the total tonnage of this small fleet of the Azure Corps was not as good as a main battleship.
Therefore, this time the Florminke Empire is determined to build an imperial naval fleet, and some people are really happy and some are worried.
Especially the Eastern countries of the Order Continent, they did not want to release the Flormink Empire from the inland. They united to protest against the empire, and even drove their respective fleets to the coast of Marcelus. Even radical naval officers threatened that the Flormink Empire Navy had a new ship launched, and they sank one.
The violent reactions of the Eastern countries also triggered voices of opposition to the construction of a large fleet in the empire.
"The Empire now does not have the ability to build a large naval fleet at all. We do not have our own shipyard, our own warship design, and we do not have qualified naval officers and sailors.
Let the army train in the lake and drive the warships at sea. This is to let them die. This is to really throw the wealth of the empire into the sea.
Have you seen the powerful navy of the Eastern countries?
Even if we have a large fleet, Marcelus does not have a large arsenal, which cannot produce the gun barrels, shells and all the materials needed for warships, which need to be transported from the empire. A death desert makes it impossible for us to provide sufficient logistical support to the large fleet. Once the war begins... how to fight?"
The opposition made the imperial emperor hesitate again.
The construction cost of this large fleet is really saved by the Empire. If it does not play its due role, then what is the use of building it?
Marcelus' centrifugation made the Florminke Empire restrict the military development of this province, and there were only some light arsenals here. All the heavy weapons and ammunition of the Imperial Navy Fleet must be provided by the Imperial land. These heavy guys use different equipment from the Army. They cannot be carried by a horse and can pass through the Death Desert. The Navy relies more on the Dosan Railway than the Army, and this railway is so fragile.
Once a war breaks out, can the Imperial Navy fleet survive?
In order to eliminate the concerns of the Emperor of the Empire and to encourage the construction of the Imperial Navy fleet to successfully begin construction, Marquis Whitehead also returned to the imperial capital to secretly meet the Emperor of the Empire.
No one knew what the Marquis said to the Emperor, but when Marquis Whitehead returned to Saroyan again, the Emperor of the Empire sent an order to the Imperial Naval Command: to start the construction plan of the Imperial Navy Fleet.
"Father, it seems that the batch of ancient alchemy equipment that Sir Charles discovered in the Death Desert is very timely..."
Miss Anne, who had already taken office, welcomed the Marquis' return in the new military uniform of the Imperial Navy. The batch of ancient alchemy equipment transported from the Death Desert was tested and proved that they had a very powerful driving effect on the undead creatures. Miss Anne believed that her father used these ancient alchemy equipment to convince the imperial emperor.
With these equipment, the Empire could set up supply points along the Duosang Railway, which could quickly repair the railway and ensure the smooth operation of the railway during wartime.
Moreover, these alchemy equipment can increase the trust of the imperial emperor in the marquis, and Anne is happy for her contribution to the family.
After Anne followed her into the study, she immediately closed the door and said in a very serious tone: "Doesn't tell anyone about the existence and function of those alchemy equipment...Does Sir Charles know the function of those alchemy equipment?"
Anne didn't know why her father said this, and she replied: "Sir Charles did not know the function of these alchemy equipment. There were no research tools or environments in that ancient ruin. After he discovered these things, he notified me to send an airship to ship it."
Marquis Whitehead nodded: "Then I don't need to kill him to silence him. Anne, I did not tell His Majesty about the ancient alchemy equipment, and the Empire does not need to set up supply points in the Death Desert for the time being."
After hearing the Marquis' words, Anne suddenly had a bad premonition. She asked: "Why don't you tell Your Majesty? With this batch of alchemy equipment, the Empire can better control Marcels. You will not be suspicious of His Majesty, and you will have more ways and time to make Marcels truly a part of the Empire."
Marquis Whitehead said: "Some things are not something you can understand now... I don't know what changes these ancient alchemy equipment will cause when they are exposed, but when I can still control the situation, any changes are out of control.
I don't like things going out of my control, which makes me not sure where the threat comes from and when it will appear.
Anne, those ancient alchemy equipment... were not essential for the current empire.
The war is far from reaching the edge of the outbreak. When the Duosang Railway's carrying capacity is sufficient, we don't need to change anything."
Although the Marquis said it very reasonably, Anne, who knew her father very well, knew that he had not finished what she was thinking. It was just that this situation was no longer suitable to continue asking questions because she could not get a real answer.
Anne pretended to be understanding and asked, "Father, since you have made this decision, you must have your own plan. The current Duosang Railway does not need to be strengthened yet.
But how did you convince His Majesty to agree to continue building the Navy’s fleet? He should be very worried about the fragile railway, right?”
