Chapter 3 Sea Power [3]

In the North Sea, at the port of Hiuma Island, the admiral of a fleet is inspecting the layout and maintenance of the military port. These days, the bigwigs from Wang Du are busy there. A large number of equipment for the record have been maintained, and the military expenses have also paid the three-month military rates of the navies in advance. In the last time The soldiers who made achievements in the war were rewarded. There were 20 first mates who were promoted to the naval headquarters, and more than a dozen people were promoted to captains. The captains became captains or deputy fleet commanders. This fair promotion method also made the navies very excited.

Now, after the navy of the Kingdom of Nordland has been eliminated, the integrated army has also been sent to the Baltic Sea for training. The number of troops after the break-up is maintained at about 17,000, and the standard of a full army navy is 3,000 people. The cruise mission of the two heavy warships is 1,500 people each, so the two heavy warships are a legion standard.

Most of the time, a joint fleet is composed of two heavy warships, five to six medium warships, and ten to fifteen small patrol warships.

Even in the former Battle of Portinia Bay, there have been special mixed formations, with more than 45. The scale is unprecedented. If it weren't for the navy of the Kingdom of Fairland, it would be like stinky shit. It really can't play the real level of the navy. Otherwise, Admiral Gareth must let people know. Let's talk about what a real naval battle is.

The first cadets of the five or six naval academies established today have also graduated. Few high-level officers serving in the army are illiterate, and some only appear in the Marine Corps. Admiral and officers have high requirements for their own cultural knowledge. If a captain can't even understand the chart, he can't guide a thousand combat troops to move flexibly on the ship, which is unbearable for the navy.

"Your Excellency, the king's envoy is coming!"

On Hiuma Island, Admiral Uteus, a native Hiuma, was a little bit of the princess of the Fengke family. Now he is also half relying on his ability and half relying on support to become the position of admiral. This is the status of a member of the military. Originally, according to his qualifications, he was just playing the edge ball, and he would be able to do this position.

But there are only a few people who focus on the governor of one party, and they are also the island admiral. If it hadn't been for Princess Ruth Fengke, the cabinet would not have agreed to appoint him, which was a little backdoor relationship.

"Ah? Again? This, get out of here!!"

Utius quickly picked up the military cap that had just been put down. After putting it on, he held the whip in his hand, went out to take a fast horse, and took the official military road to the port. The special envoy this time is a big shot, and his subordinates have made it clear. Utius did not dare to offend this big man, because this man is in charge of the ratio of military supplies. If he offends him, I'm afraid that the supplies of the Hiuma Military Region will be the rest of the goods.

The person who came is none other than Weber, the Deputy Minister of Technology. At the same time, he also holds the official position of an inspector of overseas islands. The king specially appoints a commissioner. He has the power in his hands, and he can even kill an official who he thinks has blaspise at will. This is really the power of life and death, and no one dares not offend him.

As an out-of-the-air island admiral, he is in charge of a fleet and the highest military officer in the military port. Utius is relatively thrifty. On the small island of Hioma, he has never used a carriage. He is at least in person, because no matter what, no one picks his fault.

Since the previous admiral was successfully promoted to Wangdu as a major member, Siuma Island has always been a feng shui treasure and is regarded as a place of prosperity, but no one dares to say so.

"Oh? This Utius is quite fast.

Weber said in surprise that at the speed of the carriage, the admiral's residence was some distance away from here. Originally, he wanted to wait for more than ten or twenty minutes, but he didn't expect that Uteus would come in five minutes.

"Your Excellency, Uteus never rides a carriage. He rides his own horse."

The attendant beside him reminded in a low voice.

Weber was stunned and sighed, "Well... This Utheus is quite thrifty."

When Webb said that, he didn't mean to be praised. You should know that the admiral's equipment, according to the royal law, can have a troika, and the horses can also choose tall horses with uniform fur color. Therefore, in the kingdom that emphasizes identity, this Utius has a lot of style, which is also because Tiger House can tolerate a small back door.

If it is the general situation, whoever wants to enter the official system through the back door is to fight and kill, to ensure that no one dares to mention this matter.

There are two ways to select the official system today. One is local recommendation. This quota is limited, but it is also very important, because some folk people may not have their own knowledge, but they are very strong in terms of ability. Therefore, it has become an important part of some local officials, but the inspection room in the king's hands is in charge of the authority to supervise the world, and it is also an open department, and no one dares to say anything.

Another system, that is, after being selected from the school and obtained the functional assessment, it will be partially assigned according to their respective abilities in functions. Especially in the naval system, the whole system is actually equipped with a set of administrative agencies. In order to support the navy, a large number of local organizations may not have many departments. Officials But there are a lot of members.

There are three or five hundred people on the report of the personnel to be checked by the naval headquarters every year, which is also a very large data.

Today's Norman Kingdom actually has a population of about 60 million, of which about 70% are really assimilated. The number may not be much, and there are even many resistance organizations raging there. Originally, there was a riot organization with magicians as a team in the border area, but with the establishment of a large number of local police forces and the establishment of a public security department, Totti, the Minister of Public Security, escaped from the First Legion, and Moss was transferred from the Guards to the First Legion as the commander of the Legion.

On the surface, Totti seems to have left the military headquarters without the control of the army. In fact, Tiger House's hand is rising and descending. The public security department did not directly transfer personnel from the army, but when selecting the navy, it transferred 10% of the recruits and 20% of the veterans from the naval headquarters to form a police force, with an amazing number of 200,000. However, this force is not supported in the name of the military headquarters, the army headquarters and the naval headquarters.

It is the local government that really feeds this team, and no one has the courage to play anything with His Majesty King Tiger House. Because the naval headquarters cooperated with the establishment of the police force this time, His Majesty specially approved some discounts to develop the lightweight magic crystal. The stone cannon is given priority to equip the navy, and the navy is given priority to Hiuma Island for trial.

This is also an opportunity.

"My lord!! Why are you here?"

Utius and Weber had some friendship. When Weber was unfavorable, he was very unlucky with Christian in the port of Yohvi. Utius was just a small leader of the Fengke family at that time. He thought that these two were extraordinary, so he provided some travel expenses to Tamsalu. Unexpectedly, However, he was slapped by Tiger House and asked them to take charge of the technical department. Finally, after the founding of the People's Republic of China established a formal department, the two were qualified as ministers and vice ministers respectively. It can be seen that fate is really a trick.

Now that the navy has been renovated and refreshed the atmosphere, it must be a great achievement. Christian and Weber naturally did not forget the Siuma, who had been funded in those years, so they put the pilot on Shiuma Island. After a sigh, Jutius secretly praised the magic of heaven.

"The new magic crystal cannon prepared by His Majesty will arrive three days later, and there are two new fast warships. You prepare some smart and capable people to prepare for training. This time, the king intends to officially promote the status of the navy. Everyone in the War Department is ready to watch jokes. The pressure on us is also great, such as If you mess it up, I'm afraid the Admiralty will never let you go. Do you understand?"

Although what Weber said is very alarmist, in fact, the severity is certainly not so serious, but the implication is to tell Utius that not only the naval headquarters, but also the army's military department also attaches great importance to it.

After all, compared with the army, the navy has been a scum for thousands of years, and there is nothing to say. Now, it's different. The king is addicted to the dream of sea power hegemony. If anyone wants to break this dream, he will be a sinner through the ages, and whoever is looking for death.

So, no matter what, the strength of the navy is imperative, and another reason why the pilot of new warships and magic crystal cannons is placed on Hiuma Island is that it is very close to the island of Britain. At the same time, if it is required to send troops to the Kingdom of Grand and the Kingdom of Suk Grand, Dan at the mouth of the Baltic Sea The kingdom of Erland must let go of the sea. Sometimes, it is calculated that Tiger House is indeed the first in the world. If you suddenly send troops to Danland, then you will really take the initiative and will enter the entrance of the Western Continental Alliance and hold it in your hands.

And the particularity of the Kingdom of Danerland is that it can attack, retreat and defend, and it is an absolute place for soldiers. Whether it is the staff or the king's royal think tank, they put the Kingdom of Danerland on the table, and the Kingdom of Grand and the Kingdom of Sukland are just an addition, a big gift from the Navy Department, and this gift is the common wish of Admiral Gareth and the captains of the fleet of all parties, if Utius It's messed up. I'm afraid there's really no way to continue in the navy.

At this point, the 42-year-old admiral looked serious. After a military salute, he said loudly, "I must live up to the cultivation of His Majesty and Shangfeng!!"
