Chapter 160 sharpening the knife
Soon, the emergency meeting on Rome Island was held in the Holy Sword Fortress. Rome's senior officials also found the changes in Arcado. The original gentle Arcado disappeared, and now Arcado is a little cold and more has the temperament of a leader.
"I order that all weapons exported from Rome Island will no longer be provided to the Eternal Night Empire, prohibit the transportation of any commercial goods to the Eternal Night Empire, stop and withdraw all commercial activities in the Eternal Night Empire, and inform all business partners and countries of trade exchanges, and the trade with the Eternal Night Empire will be subject to Rome Island. , seriously, you may be implicated."
"Acado, this is really not appropriate. Rome Island will lose at least 20 million gold coins for this." Ai Wen, Minister of Commerce, said.
"What you need is to do it. I didn't ask for your advice." Arcado said coldly, "The sanctions against the Eternal Night Empire will be extended indefinitely until I die or the Eternal Night Empire dies!" Acado unexpectedly predicted the demise of the Eternal Night Empire before his death, which exposed his ambition.
"Yes, sir, the Romer Ministry of Commerce will faithfully carry out your orders." Elvin had to obey Arcado's orders. After all, these gold coins are Arcado.
"Military, I will expand my army in the next two months, and Rome's army will become a force that can launch attacks on any country! I ordered that the first division of Romer should be given to Edward's command and expanded to 15,000. Romer's second division is still under the command of Gavin and expanded to 15,000. Tessa, the commander of Rome's third division, expanded to 15,000 people to be responsible for the defense of the island. Sean's marine division was expanded to 10,000, demanding that it could Land and fight on the coastline of any country. The commander of the 4th Division of Romai was appointed to Buck, and the Romai Defense Army was expanded to 9,000, 3,000 in each port. Arcado said as he walked to the map.
He pointed to the map and continued: "Romai's 1st Division and 2nd Division are now deployed in Newport, and the new 4th Division will also be transported to Newport to carry out large corps to cooperate with the exercise. I personally commanded McVlon secretly formed the 5th Division in Newport, and I want to expand my army to prepare for war!"
"The current population of Rome Island is less than 500,000, and your army has exceeded 60,000, and the continued expansion will put great pressure on the island's population." Vera stood up and said.
"Pressure is the driving force, otherwise waiting for development, can we catch up with the opportunity? Now that the enemy has put the long sword on my neck, when will you wait? Arcado stared at Vera and asked.
Vera hurriedly bowed and lowered her head and replied, "The household department will make adjustments immediately to transport qualified service personnel to the military." Everyone can see that Arcado is in a bad mood now, and no one wants to touch this mold.
"Romai's navy will continue to expand, and the number of combat warships will be increased to more than 25. The Romai naval fleet is divided into a main fleet, 3 squadrons, each squadron of which has 3 ironclad, and the main fleet is equipped with 16 combat ships. The new No. 5 ships have been launched. I ask Romai Navy Ensure the safety of Rome's army in any sea. Arcado continued.
"The navy promises to complete the mission." Sean solemnly promised.
"The military immediately formulated a detailed landing battle plan. I want to be precise to every detail. The goal is the Principality of Falling Thunder or the Principality of Lomec, and four complete plans, including the seizure of ports and forced landing on the coastline." Arcado took a look at everyone present.
"There is no need to say that the Ministry of Industry should ensure the supply of shells and the production of magic cannons. The key to our victory in the future is this weapon." Acado continued when he saw Hubert.
"Please rest assured that the Ministry of Industry can complete the task." Hubert got up and assured. His industrial production has been developing to satisfy Acardo's appetite, and he is not surprised.
"Finally, Mr. Anthony, 85 Institute has completely shelved the research work of civilian equipment and shifted all the research and development focus to military equipment. The project code requirements for priority development are as follows: Eagle Plan, Singenning Plan, Lancer Plan, Tiger Project, and 5 million gold coins for successful development. I want to short We will see the results during the period. Arcado ordered.
"Okay, sir, as you wish." Anthony said.
"According to the current form, our first war may arouse the vigilance of various countries. Sir, now the continent of Yavia has ushered in a long-lost peace, and the people do not want to see war again." Yu Qian calculated and suggested, "We should wait for a better opportunity."
"No, Mr. Yu, as long as I live, there will be no peace!" Arcado smiled and said loudly, "Romai Island is now in a state of second-level combat readiness. When we are ready, we will use our sword to fight for the land!"
Soon the whole Romai Island took action, and a large number of factory workers were transferred to weapon processing factories in the mountains. They produced Romai Island's secret weapons - magic cannons and shells day and night. A large number of cars stopped the production of civil transport models and produced an armored car with iron plates. These cars are divided into two models, one is a transport military armored vehicle and the other is a reconnaissance armored vehicle. The difference is that one can carry 12 fully armed Romer soldiers, and the other is equipped with A rotating turret equipped with a medium-sized strong crossbow as a weapon.
This armored reconnaissance vehicle is designed to ensure the safety of the scouts to make up for the shortcomings of the traditional scouts, and it is also a failure of the Tiger program, which is used to transition to the neutral period before the success of the Tiger program.
Soon, the Fourth Division was formed as a new combat unit, and the cars and magic cannons were installed. The production speed of weapons provided by the Ministry of Industry basically satisfied the expansion of Rome Island. Now the only bottleneck restricting the military development of Rome Island is actually the poor population base. The number of slaves and refugees in the Yavia mainland that ended the war has decreased sharply, and it is obviously more and more difficult to rely on these people to expand the population of Rome Island. Therefore, after the previous population expansion, the population of Rome Island has grown slowly recently.
Romai's three divisions: the First Skull Division, the Second Vulture Division, and the Fourth Iron Boxing Division carried out huge combat exercises in the desert near Newport to train coordinated combat cooperation. For a while, the military strength of Rome Island was doubled. More than 50,000 well-trained soldiers provide security for Rome Island. These troops are equipped with the most advanced weapons and equipment of this era. Most importantly, these soldiers volunteer to fight for their beloved Romai Island owner Rudolf Arcado, with firm faith and strong fighting power.
The only thing Akado, who sharpens the knife, is missing now is a piece of fat sent to the door.
