Chapter 13 coveting three ports [1]

The naming of the five major ports is very interesting. The first port, because it was built in spring, is called the spring port, and the second port was originally called the water and land wharf. Later, after the summer generation of kings rested, it was called the summer port. The third port is called the autumn port because it has become a dumping land for grain and the harvest season is autumn. The fourth port is the North Port. Because it is the northernmost unfrozen port, it is called the Winter Port. The fifth port is the new port, which is called the new port.

Among the five major ports, the most important one must be the northernmost unfrozen port, the winter port. The important factor of this port is nothing else, but its important military significance. A freeze-free port is of great significance to ships, because only a freeze-free port can warships sail, berth and sail all year round, which is of great significance for a war.

"Does anyone know what the Normans want to do? Tiger House, an insatiable crocodile, he is a madman, and no one can fill his stomach and appetite!! No one can!!"

Dulton II roared loudly there. In the Million War, if it hadn't been for the Ink Grands and the Suk Grands, they would have won an important base in the north of the Normans, but everything could not be done again. Now the Scandinavian Peninsula is the territory of Tiger House. The original Pan-Scandinavian Alliance has become history. Those so-called opponents are simply a group of cups and can't become any climate.

Dalton II is not an idiot. Although he is also ambitious and thinks that he is the hero of the generation, unfortunately, in this era of coexistence with Tiger House, everything is such a headache and extremely bad feeling.

"Your Majesty, they have completely disrupted our market. We want to punish them. We have to let them know that this is not the Kingdom of Norman, but the Kingdom of Danerland!! Your Majesty, order to eliminate the Normish profiteers. As long as they destroy all their property, they can't turn over the waves!"

A soldier in armor stood up and took a closer look. He was still a general. The ribbon on his body was clearly blue silk. Such a guy was very surprising. However, if anyone knows that his family has suffered heavy losses in this economic war waged by the Normans, no one will be surprised that he will say such a thing. In fact, there are not many Danlanders who want the Normans to die, and there is no shortage of him, but he didn't expect that he would stand up and say such words directly.

But he will soon find the opponent.

A tall and thin guy sneered: "Destroy? General Brestan, I think you should tell me, can we easily give the Normans an excuse to attack us now? Normans stared at him, and Tiger House rubbed his hands, waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to come to our territory to burn, kill and loot. You did this to give him such an opportunity!! What's more, once our team of Norman shops and chambers of commerce take action, what will businessmen from other countries think? They will think that our Kingdom of Danerland can't afford to lose, and they will even think that our land is unsafe and unreliable. Do you know what this means? It means that we will lose a lot of allies that could have existed.

"You are all excuses, coward!! You are a coward!!"

Brestein roared loudly, pointing his finger at the thin and tall minister.

This thin minister, named Elsinki, is an authentic islander, but unlike most short guys, this guy's figure is quite tall. More importantly, his political mind and political sense are extremely keen. Eighteen years ago, he successfully helped Dalton II to become a rare Several supporting ministers, in the heart of Dalton II, the position of this minister is still very high. It can be said that without this Elsinki, there might not be His Majesty King Dalton II.

"Hmm!!" Elsinki was too lazy to quarrel with a warrior like Brestan, but said to Dalton II, "Your Majesty, we now have more than a thousand large and small warships, and the number of navies is 110,000. However, your majesty, you also know that our soldiers have experienced too few wars, and even most of them have not at all. I have killed people, but what about the Normans? They have been fighting almost all the time. On the mainland, the Roma Empire and the Slavic Empire dare to fight. They are not afraid to fight, and they want to fight. Therefore, their war experience is extremely rich, and there are almost countless veterans. Compared with the means on the battlefield, the most important thing is that Tiger House's men are too rich in the means of the enemy. . Not far away, let's talk about the Kingdom of Rieldine. In fact, they were not defeated by the Norman army, but by the conspiracy of the Normans. They were dragged to death alive.

Elsinki took another step forward and said, "Your Majesty, do you remember what I told you a year ago? During the famine in the Kingdom of Rieldean, the population was still 19 million, but what about after the famine? There are only seven million people. Your Majesty, you know that there are only seven million people on a land of nearly 300,000 square kilometers. What is this concept? You know, the original Kingdom of Rildean, with fertile land and abundant grain, can also be sold to many grain-sharboring countries in neighboring countries, but after being tricked by the Normans to fight with the Fieldland Kingdom for more than a year, they have no reserves at all.

As soon as these words were said, the whole hall suddenly became quiet: "If there are seven million people, it's enough, but the original people who starved to death don't count, there are nearly three million slaves bought by the big Norman merchants. Such a number is enough to establish a new kingdom. After Tiger House passed through the Baltic Sea and Shahiri went north to conquer the Kingdom of Fairland, the population of the Kingdom of Rieldian was only five million. How horrible the gap and data are! Your Majesty, the Normans will reason with you at all. As long as there is an excuse, even if it is just a ridiculous excuse, they can send troops. But now, do we have to give the Normans such an excuse?

"Huh!! You know that there are more than a thousand warships. Are we still afraid of the Normans? At worst, we will die together!!" Brestan shouted loudly that this kind of so-called military iron blood has boosted some momentum.

However, Elsinki shook his head and said sarcastically, "I don't know what the general thinks. The life of a soldier is not life? It's true that we have more than a thousand warships, but the Norman navy is known as the first in the world, even if there is moisture, but think about how powerful the navy of the Kingdom of Rieldian was at the beginning. Well, even if the Normans used their trajectory and involved them in the currents, but what about the Kingdom of Fieldland? What about the Kingdom of Norland? What about the Slavic Empire? They were all defeated in the Baltic Sea without any chance. Most importantly, a country like the Kingdom of Esland, no matter how bad it is, is at least a country, but now they have surrendered just because the West Sea Fleet of the Little Saxon has circled there. Tell me, gentlemen, what kind of fleet do you think will make the people of the Kingdom of Esland surrender directly? This is a kind of deterrence, a strong deterrence. Gentlemen, of course, I also want to kill all the Normans. It's better for Tiger House to kill him tomorrow, but that's impossible. Therefore, we can only stabilize and not give Tiger House any chance. As long as he causes public anger, everyone will get up. If he attacks it, he has no chance of winning. Now the interior of the Roma Empire is unstable. Once a monarch unites the Roma Empire, as long as we unite the southern countries, contact the Roma Empire and the Slavic Empire, and destroy the Norman Kingdom, it will not be difficult at all!"

"What? Is that what you said? This is so ridiculous!! The sense of honor of soldiers does not allow me to do this!" Brestein roared loudly, "These damn moths suck blood from us. We live like beggars now. Can't we fight like men once? Ah!!!!"

Brestain's roar still resonated, but unfortunately, this was not what Elsinki wanted. He just stared at Dalton II in a frenze.

His Majesty held his chin and pondered for a while. He had to admit that whether it was fighting or seeking peace, he was moved. While wavering, he was also very clear about how aggressive the Normans were.

"Your Majesty, the only thing we need is time. It's okay to prepare for war, but not for war!"

Elsinki said loudly.

Brestan roared loudly, "Your Majesty, if you let go of the Normans this time, there will be a second time. The third time, they are insatiable and will not stop. We will kill them all!! Only in this way can we recover our losses!!"

"Your Majesty!!"

The two are the representative figures of the civil and military ministers, so there are not many people to talk about them. They just agree there, and each has a contest.

Dalton II pondered for a while before asking Elsinki, "El, let me ask you, what is the purpose of Tiger House? That's why we lost a lot and our vitality. He will do this without a purpose!"

"Your Majesty, there is no doubt that what he wants is not our other things, but an important area, that is, the five major ports. Or to be precise, it is the port of winter. As long as there is the port of winter, he has the ability to supply and attack the countries to the south at any time, which is very unquestionable!"

Elsinki said firmly.
