Regarding their arrival, some people within the Third Army still wanted to take issue with their behavior, but
Thinking about the current war situation, it is better not to build useless things. In yesterday's war, the Third Army's
Everything he did has been shown. Although he told the people in the Western Empire that this was an accidental bombing, the Western Empire
There is nothing the people over there can do. The Third Army has already sent fifty people out. These fifty people are responsible for this.
Naturally, the fifty people had no good results. Basically, they were beheaded by the people of the Western Empire. These are not the third episode.
Li Cong will never allow members of the regiment army to be killed for other so-called political interests.
That is absolutely not allowed. These people were all death row prisoners bought from the Northern Empire for five hundred taels of silver each.
, each of them is considered cooperative. Originally, he was already about to die, but now except for the Northern Empire government,
People like me can still leave 200 taels of silver for our families, which is already very good. Don’t worry about your past.
No matter what they did, they are still thinking about their own family members at this time. Such things are also very difficult for them.
Okay, now that they have handed over the people, the people of the Western Empire naturally have to be stubborn. Besides,
, their people did not suffer any losses. The places where the artillery fire was bombarded were the front positions they wanted to attack. These people always
Everyone behaved very calmly. This attack was not only for the people of the Western Empire, but also for the people of the Southern Empire.
Yes, no one thought that such a good situation would arise. They all understood it at this time.
It's nonsense to say anything else. Only the weapons in your hands are the most important.
Although the enemy Northern Empire is no longer on the frontal battlefield, the tens of millions of troops there have also begun to retreat.
They have already received a lot of benefits. If it is still the same as before, this thing will not be like that. They
They all have their own ideas. However, the Western Empire showed no signs of retreat. They actually returned from the rear.
A large number of troops were transported at this time, as many as 30 million. Now there are more than two troops on the front line of the Western Empire.
There are hundreds of millions of people. This is no longer a matter of taking advantage. It seems that we need to ask for reinforcements from the headquarters. But the Cao Family Trading Company
It does have its own difficulties. The first one is that it is a bit far from the headquarters of the Cao Family Trading Company, spanning the entire South China Sea.
The Empire. It will take several months for the airship over there to arrive. It would be a bit unrealistic to continue transporting a large number of soldiers.
It is true, but some bombing-type things are not very effective for the Western Empire, so this plan is to make the Western Empire painful.
In the end, the plan fell on the Navy. Because neither side declared war, they could not directly attack the Western Empire.
They attack some targets inside, and they are not fools. This will leave people with an excuse, and will also allow the Northern Empire to follow
If the Eastern Empire feels the huge threat from the Cao Family Trading Company, they may all unite. The Cao Family Trading Company was defeated last time.
It's the Southern Empire. If they defeat the Western Empire again this time, things will definitely not go as they thought. At the last moment
The one who will suffer a loss will definitely be the Cao Family Trading Company. Such a thing must never happen. Not only a few great emperors
The people in the country understand it, and even the people in the Cao Family Trading Company understand it very well, so the targets they choose are some of the people in the Western Empire.
Merchant ships, shipping has only begun to appear in the Western Empire in the past two years, but the maritime sector is not very developed.
In the past, the ships of the Western Empire were not allowed to sail on inland rivers because their court did not allow them to go to sea. This is why they
They all feel that they have everything in their own territory and there is no need to follow
What kind of deals are done by people outside will make some criminals run away. In that case, if they establish a country overseas, they will
Attracting some people in their own country to come to them. If such things cannot be effectively managed,
This may have been shaken, but this matter seemed to have changed when the people from the Cao Family Trading Company came. Among them
Many people in China have seen the advantages of sea transportation, especially if it takes more than ten years to go to the Eastern Empire on land.
In terms of time, this is impossible for an ordinary person, but it only takes half the time at sea.
Well, of course, this time is also a lot of time. Even if it is a huge profit to transport some goods there, this time
They can't afford to waste time, but there is no problem for them to start their own shipping in surrounding areas.
It is also very good for them. They all understand this very well, so they all started to develop their own
The surrounding sea transportation is very good. At least transportation within a few hundred miles around has begun to use sea routes.
, but because their navigation ability is not very good due to the small size of the ship, so each of them is also very good.
It's depressing. They can't do this kind of thing, but in recent years, because of the decommissioned ships of the Cao Family Trading Company,
After that, their freight volume also began to increase, and in the end they did very well. These people are now
Everyone here considers themselves to be merchants on the sea. If this is the case, we will not be polite to you.
In fact, despite their small scale, their role in a short period of time is very good, which is very important to the Western Empire.
First of all, it is reflected in taxes. In the past, they did not have this amount of income, because the emperor of the Western Empire
The government felt that it was easy for these people to get their money, so they levied a heavy tax of 25% on them.
Everyone feels very depressed, because they are not long-distance runners, they are basically short-distance ones, and the profits are extremely low.
For those who are not that big, it is only 50% at most, but the better thing about this job is that it is stable, and they
They were all running near the sea, and they wouldn't encounter any danger at all, so they started to do it one by one.
The Western Empire is also happy to do this. It saves water transportation space on land and can also increase its tax revenue.
A lot more. This kind of thing is very satisfying for anyone. Many people in the Western Empire are very satisfied.
Regarding this matter, every county along the coast of the Western Empire now has at least hundreds of ships. They provide the Western Empire with
It can bring hundreds of thousands of silver in tax revenue. There are so many counties and cities in one county. You must know that there are thousands of coastal counties and cities in the Western Empire.
, there will be billions more money every year, and they feel it too. This will make some unemployed vagrants on the shore even more.
It is also very good to solve some local security situations. At the beginning, the Western Empire government
The government did not support it very much, but it would never hinder you. But later, after the Western Empire government saw the profits, they
They changed their views, and they quickly completed these things. They hoped that these things could make Xi
The imperial government increased its revenue, and over time, each of these maritime merchants became more powerful.
It is because they are so powerful that what happened in the past few days can be noticed by the government of the Western Empire. First of all, there are those
More than a dozen ships reported in the county where they were located that they had been robbed by some people at sea. At the time, there were not many
People realized that this matter was organized, although they had heard before that the navy of the Cao Family Trading Company might
Do this thing, but more people choose not to believe it, because they can all feel that this thing should
It shouldn't have been done by people from Cao's Trading Company, so they decided it was an ordinary act of piracy, but when they felt that something was going on
When the situation is not right, the scope has been expanded without limit. First of all, the number of robberies is getting larger and larger.
At that time, there were only a dozen ships, but a few hours later, almost all the ships passing through the open sea were robbed and robbed.
Their ships have no cover at all. They are all the navy of the Cao Family Trading Company. Their artillery is useless at sea.
It's no match for others. Besides, the speed on your side is no match for others. You're not doing well here, but others are here.
When you catch up with them, you have only two choices when facing their guns, or you can quickly stop the boat and let their people board.
Come on, this means that the robbery was successful, or you accelerated your ship to the fastest speed, and in the end, the others
If you fire a volley of artillery discussions, you and I can go to the sea to feed the fish. These things are absolutely possible.
, I don’t have much choice for myself, so I can only do these things honestly. Other than that, I really don’t know.
How should I choose? There is nothing valuable on their ship. For the navy of Cao Family Trading Company,
In fact, they were a little reluctant to rob them. In fact, the things on the ship were of no use. They were of no use at all.
It's useful. If you have silver, gold, etc., you can go up there once, but they don't have that at all.
These things are all very rubbish, but the important thing is to give them the illusion that they are not here to rob.
No one in the Western Empire thought that people from the Cao Family Trading Company would do such a thing. Didn't they say so before?
, the people from the Cao Family Trading Company should be able to do some more powerful things. Even if they hit land, they would definitely compete.
This kind of thing is much better. I really don’t know what they are thinking about. They all think
I felt that this thing was incredible, so at this time, the navy of the Western Empire went out. The navy of the Western Empire was already organized.
It has been built for about three or two years, and they spent a huge amount of money to form the current three naval vessels. The basics of one of them are
The land is not far away from here, and their eighteen 500-ton ships immediately arrived. Heading to all
We went to the area to see what was going on. Some of their people also learned some things done by the navy of Cao Family Trading Company, so they
Our wooden boats also use some long-range attack weapons, and the boats also have their own ship numbers.
Yes, although they do not think that their capabilities are much stronger than the navy of Cao Family Trading Company, they are all very capable.
Chang clearly understood that what they were going out to do this time was not to confront the navy of the Cao Family Trading Company, but to go out with the same purpose as the Eastern Emperor last time.
The people in the country are the same, they just want the navy of the Cao Family Trading Company to know their existence, that's it. As long as they know about them
As long as they all exist. As for the rest of the things, it doesn’t need to be so much. Speaking of which, their request is really
It's low enough that other people don't say anything, and they don't care about embarrassing things. Anyway, we did it.
There are about 150 people on these 500-ton ships. About 50 of them are on the ships. The remaining 100 people are all
When the battle comes, half of them need to control the dozen or so crossbows on the ship, and the rest are just waiting to get closer.
When the time comes, they rush up to give the enemy a "fatal blow". Of course, this is what they said. Is it possible to reach the enemy?
Wearing it, only they themselves know about it. Sometimes these things are not so easy, but people
Having already done this, we don’t care about future matters. Such 500-ton ships are the mainstay of their navy.
It’s a giant among them. In the ranks of wooden boats, it’s already very good to be able to create something like this.
Although there are still big shortcomings compared to the ships of the Cao Family Trading Company, they still have a lot of them anyway.
own maritime weapons, the maximum range of the war crossbow has been increased to 800 meters, but its cost has also increased
Many of them are made from the sinews of Warcraft. Such things are relatively elastic. The cost of each crossbow is
It already cost more than 50,000 taels of silver. This whole ship would have been impossible to build without 300,000 taels of silver. Add in the chaos.
There are some messy expenses, 400,000 taels of silver for a warship, which is already the lowest budget. Now the Western Empire just sends
A small fleet of more than a dozen ships was sent out to take a look. They did not expect to actually confront the people from the Cao Family Trading Company, so they
Because they all know very well that if they really confront each other, the final result will most likely be that their entire army will be destroyed.
, on this vast sea, it is better to be careful, otherwise, it is very likely that you will die without a burial place.
Well, even if you want to feed the fish, you have to find a place with better feng shui, right? They were scared to death when they went out.
The people from the Cao Family Trading Company did not expect that people from the Western Empire would use the navy. In their opinion, the Western Empire should
You should be scared to death, why would you bring out the navy? At this time, the higher-ups investigated the navy data here.
I think the navy of the Western Empire must be destroyed by them, otherwise this matter will not be easy to handle.
, it is very likely that the navy of the Western Empire will bring them a lot of trouble. In view of this, they want the fleet to take down the navy of the Western Empire.
Kill the navy and let them take action first. We cannot be the first to take action. This will teach the Western Empire a lesson. Before
Since those strategies have no effect, it is better to use this one. I believe that the pain in front of me is still
If it can bring some effect to the people of the Western Empire, let them all know their own effect. In the end, he
We will all be honest and will not do anything too extreme. This is also a very good thing. If
If these people haven't figured it out yet, the next step will be really difficult. Are they really going to start a fight with the Western Empire?
That is absolutely impossible. Li Cong and the others have already felt that these people in the Western Empire are the same as those in the Southern Empire.
In this way, there is no need to fight with the people of the Western Empire because of the Southern Empire. In that case, you may end up in trouble.
Foreigners are not human. Small-scale battles like this are also effective. Just look at the combat effectiveness of these naval forces in the Western Empire.
How many of them are there, and will they be the same as those in the Eastern Empire? If this is the case, they need to be stopped. No way.
Let them all develop their navy. The mainland is yours, but the ocean is ours. This was said by Li Cong
If so, the people below will also remember it very clearly, and they must not make any mistakes.
Since the navy of the Western Empire had just been established, although the people above saw the great use of the navy, so did the people in the army.
We don’t want to give the navy people too much power, so they are still called the navy, and they are under the control of the local admiral’s office. This
Although the navy also has its own admiral's office, there are not many people below it. The Western Empire spent so much money to establish it.
The rising navy will also need to arrange some very powerful people. There will be so many more official positions. If we don't give them
If there are some quotas, it is estimated that the big families in the capital will feel uncomfortable. These official positions are not very high, but
There was no problem with the transition, but there were some problems with this yamen from the time it was established, because the above
Many people came to this country. They did not regard themselves as members of the navy at all. When this fleet set off,
What kind of weapons and people are there at that time are already in the hands of the Cao Family Trading Company. The intelligence department of the Cao Family Trading Company
You only spent less than 500,000 taels of silver to know everything about this fleet worth more than 10 million taels of silver.
, even their routes are clearly known, and the people in the Cao Family Trading Company also feel very strange, why
They all felt very strange that something like this would happen, because in their opinion, the navy
The routes should be adapted to changing circumstances after going to sea, but they were actually fixed and were not allowed to leave the route. Only later did they
I understand, some of the equipment on their ship is really out of date. If they go out and change the route casually, I guess they
There is a possibility that you will not be able to go back. Many ships did this in the past and ended up getting lost in the end.
, some of them simply ended up in the sea and could not come back. This kind of thing happened a lot, and it was really speechless.
The Cao Family Trading Company's airship quickly discovered them on their route, and the staff above immediately began to make calculations. Suddenly
Then they discovered that if the Cao Family Trading Company's fleet did not move, they would have to wait several days to ambush them as planned.
In terms of time, waiting like this is a terrible thing for anyone. Their ships are really moving too fast.
Slow down. This speed is already not very fast on land. If it is on the sea, it is really almost like a snail.
After observing them from the sky for two hours, I found that their distance was basically the same as when I first discovered them.
, I thought I could follow them slowly, but who knew that these people actually did what they did after discovering the Cao Family Trading Company's airship?
One thing that surprised them very much was that they actually returned... They didn't encounter any danger yet, they just saw
After catching the opponent's Zhancha airship, these people really returned. Anyway, they estimated that they would have their own reasons after returning.
Yes, this time everything about us has been known by the Cao Family Trading Company, and the battle plan has been leaked. If this continues
If things continue to pass, they will definitely be regarded as a living target by the people of Cao Family Trading Company. What they predicted is actually correct.
Yes, but their motive is really not very good. What these people think about is that they cannot let themselves die here.
, and there is a reason to go back now. There is no need to throw yourself on this sea as the fleet of the Cao Family Trading Company.
When I received the news, I was immediately dumbfounded. Your own merchant ships went back one by one and said that they had been robbed. You came out
Let's see what's going on. When we saw our reconnaissance airship, we ran back. I really don't know what to say to you.
How could such a thing happen? If such things continue to happen, it will simply be...
Since this is the case, the people in the Cao Family Trading Company can only do things in their own way. If you don't come out, we think
If you want to cause trouble, you can only start from some of your islands. Before the Western Empire, these overseas
They don't care about the islands at all. In their opinion, there are no people on these islands, and they are all yellow.
Lin, no one is willing to come to this place. Their people feel that even if these places are taken back, there will be no
Because of their official thinking, these islands have no good opinions among the people. In the end,
Later, these places turned out to be unattended. Recently, the navy of the Western Empire came out. In addition,
The overseas islands of the Southern Empire are all occupied by people from the Cao Family Trading Company, allowing them to continuously harass the coastline of the Southern Empire. This
Only then did they feel that these knight islands were somewhat useful. Although there were not many, they still had to take them all.
They were occupied. When the navigation industry on earth was relatively developed, there were still many uninhabited islands. It was even more unnecessary.
It's about time. These ships are really slow at this time. If they can send foster care to these islands regularly,
If so, people here would probably starve to death several times, so the Western Empire only chose to attack some of the more important islands.
Sent their own troops. What the Cao Family Trading Company had to do was to start occupying all these islands and let the people of the Western Empire
Feeling the strength of the Cao Family Trading Company's navy, I also let them know what they would do at the border with the Southern Empire, otherwise they would
Let me give you some color to see. There is nothing we can do about it. The people in the Cao Family Trading Company don’t want to provoke a war, but now
There is no other way now. It is really that these people in the Western Empire have no sense of challenge.
Looking at how they want to cause trouble on the frontline battlefield and on the sea side, the Third Army here is not that bold.
Damn it, the hundreds of millions of troops from the Western Empire have arrived now. Although three of the four commanding heights are in their own hands,
It’s because their army base is too strong. Two days have passed. In these two days, the Western Empire’s army has
After the team was harassed two or three times, the two counties in the border area of the Southern Empire had already evacuated all their people.
In the past, when we lived in areas like the border, we could exchange things with each other. This was definitely a lot of money, but
Now that they have encountered a war, they have not had such a good life. Many people have only gotten themselves a house in their lifetime.
My wife, now I have to throw away my house. This kind of thing makes them cry without tears. There is nothing we can do about it.
It's legal. Everyone knows that if this war starts and their own domestic army is no match for others, then the Western Empire will
If people occupy this place, they will all become slaves. They are all free citizens now.
If you become a slave, you will be taken to the Western Empire and sold to others, and you can do whatever they want.
Yes, my life is really miserable. Such a thing is very fatal to anyone.
But if you don't do it, you won't get any good results, so you still bear the pain and lose your own home.
The house is just there. It won’t be gone in the future anyway. Maybe after leaving here, I will find a better place.
Just let yourself live a good life. Everything is hard to say. Everything will get better by then.
Maybe, everything depends on your own luck, these things are difficult to determine.
General Mulun, the frontline general of the Western Empire, can be said to be an emerging militant faction in the Western Empire. In the past, the Western Empire
The largest family in the empire and the largest force in the army are the Tuoba family. The Tona family was defeated by the people of the Western Empire.
After being uprooted, the military forces of the Western Empire began to fall apart. Up to now, there are three or four members of the army.
Everyone has already obtained the position of general. An empire can only have two or three marshals, and the emperor of the Western Empire does not know.
What Tao thinks is that he hopes these generals will work hard for the empire. As for the marshal, he will not give it.
Yours, people felt it was strange at first, but later no one felt it was strange anymore, so
The matter of the Tuoba family came to mind again. It was because the Tuoba family occupied these two places back then.
A marshal, that's why the Tuoba family has become so powerful. Now I won't give you the position of marshal. What about you? That's it.
It won't develop so fast. As long as you all can't develop, things will be easier to say in the future.
Just like now, you may all be honest, and everything will be clear to you one by one in the future, no
This time, the emperor of the Western Empire relented. In the past, they thought that the Western Empire would not let these people continue.
I have obtained a marshal here, but His Majesty the Emperor said that as long as he can capture the ten provinces of the Southern Empire, he will be among the army
The new marshal. Such things directly made several generals of the Western Empire feel itchy. They have been for a lifetime.
Are you a soldier? Don’t want to be a marshal? Are you kidding? In the past, it was because of the Tuoba family. Now he is gone.
They are standing in front of you. Everything is your own business. It depends on your performance.
I don’t know who leaked the news about the Western Empire’s navy discovering the Cao Family Trading Company’s airship after going to sea.
The matter of turning around has been known to many people, especially people in the Northern Empire. Previously, it was because of the bank of the Cao Family Commercial Bank.
The bomb offensive caused the people of the Northern Empire to retreat. It was really a shame for them. At this time, they all woke up.
Everyone knew what to say at this time. The senior officials of the Northern Empire began to ridicule the navy of the Western Empire. They spent a lot of time
How come the fleet built with hundreds of billions of money dares to have a real decisive battle with the fleet of the Cao Family Trading Company?
I robbed your merchant ship and you still didn’t say a word. I really don’t know how you lived your life.
Yes, in fact, if these words were said by outsiders, everyone would be able to get over it well, but the problem lies in
Here, most of these words were said by people within them. These words were spread by people within the Western Empire.
, Otherwise, how could the people in the Northern Empire know in such detail? It was the Army people who spread the word, and their
Their funds have been reduced a lot because of the large-scale navy. This kind of thing is also true for the Western Empire.
It is very helpless that this dispute exists even within the Cao Family Trading Company. It is absolutely impossible to avoid such a dispute.
It is impossible, because the land and sea use a sum of money. If the navy uses it, the army will definitely not have much left.
It would be fine if they don't use the money, but everyone wants to expand, especially the navy, which is basically a
Money earners, one of their ships can already allow Lu Juan to do a lot of things. If you come out and really contribute to the country,
It's okay to gain glory, but the bad thing is that you didn't do anything and you lost such a big person.
Things on the front line are decided by General Mulun. This guy also knows some of the external situations, but this guy chose to ignore the news. If he really listened to the news, his marshal might not
Now, he knew that this was an absolutely good opportunity. The empire stipulated that only those who opened up territory for the empire could obtain the imperial title. He had just inherited a viscount. Among the generals of the empire, his title was really not good.
, so he needs to work harder. Now he knows what his goal is. As long as he can win the land of the Southern Empire, everything will be easier to talk about. Sometimes such things are also very difficult.
Yes, many people can understand his current mood, but the ones standing in front of them are the Cao Family Trading Company's troops. If a fight really breaks out, it will be difficult to explain in the future. Thinking of his position as marshal, plus
The dog-headed military advisor who came to him also told him that this will be outside, and you will not accept your orders. Everyone knows this, so this matter must be done well. He must do this matter. If he cannot do it,
Well, I'm really sorry for myself. It's for this reason that this guy decided to take a desperate risk. He planned to kill all the Cao Family Trading Company's troops. In this way, he could just cross over and the Southern Empire's army would be nothing.
Yes, one of the conditions for doing this is that he must be quick. His people are not fools. As long as they can destroy the Cao Family Trading Company in a short time, the Cao Family Trading Company will not go to war with the Western Empire just because of this matter.
Yes, the Cao Family Trading Company looks very powerful, but they have already fought against the Southern Empire. Do they still have to fight against the people from the Western Empire? This is simply impossible, so the time difference between them is considered acceptable.
.
The changes in the front line were soon known to the reconnaissance airships of the Third Army. These scouts immediately sent the news to the headquarters of the Third Army. These staff officers began to study it. The people in the Western Empire seemed to have begun to change.
formation, I don’t know why their offensive troops have all arrived on the second line, but their defensive troops have all arrived on the first line. This seems to be a bit inconsistent with their performance these days. You must know that at this time they should be
They have to fight hard instead of just letting it go like this. If they do this, will their brains be filled with water? Wu Cai and the others don't know what's going on. Suddenly he seems to be
Thinking of something, he immediately said loudly, "Immediately investigate the number of the Western Empire's troops on the front line. Tonight may be the time when they take action. They want to kill us together with the Southern Empire's army, because our weapons are all
It is a long-range attack, so they are so confident in fishing out the defense troops. By then, our serial crossbows and artillery attacks will not be very effective in the first round, so they can attack the attacking troops again.
When we are sent here, the effect of our second attack at that time was definitely not as good as the first. It seems that these people are not fools, they do know some tactics." Wu Cai said loudly, and the others
Only then did people understand what was going on. Although this was a possibility, there was nothing going on on the front line. They obviously understood what was going on. These damn guys were indeed very powerful.
If the commander hadn't seen it so clearly, he might have been fooled by these guys, and he would have suffered a big loss. But even if he had seen it, they wouldn't have been able to do much with their current strength.
"How could these damn guys be so brave? Do they think they are much stronger than the Southern Empire? Our army killed the Southern Empire, and they want to try too?" Chief of Staff
He told the questions of many people here. Each of these people also doubted what the commander said. Although what the commander said was very well-founded, they all knew how powerful the Cao Family Trading Company's army was.
Awesome, they are one of them. If these people from the Western Empire dared to take action, they would have taken action from the beginning. Why did it come to this time? Wouldn't it be that taking action now means that the original fighter plane has been lost? Could it be?
Don’t they know how powerful we are? Although our army is relatively small, the entire trading company is behind us. Boss Cao Ke is not a guy who is willing to suffer losses. This guy does everything he usually does.
If his own soldiers suffered such losses from things that caused others to suffer, it would be strange if he had to beat them all to death. How could he make the people of the Western Empire feel better?
"Haha, this matter is very simple. General Mulun probably doesn't want to be his general anymore." The commander said this with a smile and saw the people around him looking at him stupidly. By the way,
They all didn't know some information about the Western Empire, but it doesn't matter, we know it. He quickly said, "This guy wants to be a marshal. The Emperor of the Western Empire has already made a promise to this guy. As long as he is
If he can conquer the territory of the Southern Empire, the marshal's position will be his. Now we are the ones standing in front of him. If we continue to stand in front of him, what will happen to his marshal's position? So what he needs to do now
Just to get us away, this kind of thing is probably what he can think of, but our military strength is indeed not enough now, and now it seems that we have to use the good things the boss gave us." This guy.
As he spoke, he touched the space ring in his hand. The boss said, just take it out when the time comes. This kind of thing is very beneficial to the defensive side. They want to use their own people.
It's not that easy to get rid of them. It depends on whether you have a good mouth. (To be continued...)
