Chapter 63 The First Pluk Overseas Colonization Fleet, Sophia’s Court Strikes [7/10 Subscription Required].
Salamandis Harbour.
Looking at the naval warships flying the Prussian battle flag, although they were all wooden sailboats fifty or sixty meters long, Ulysses’s face was full of satisfaction.
Sure enough, if you have nothing, you really can’t build it.
At this moment, after three or four months of intensive training and study, the Puluk Naval Academy cadets, wearing the Puluk Navy uniform designed by Ulysses himself, are happily carrying out renovation work on the warship.
The eight-ox crossbow, which has been modified by mechanical experts and more labor-saving to pull strings, will be fixed and installed on the deck and sides of the warship.
“Although the Salamantis seaport can be used to build a large area of the seaport, we will need to build a special military port in the future.
However, I will let someone follow up on this matter, and in addition to your need for military training, I have another task to give you…” Ulysses said to the three big men behind him wearing dark blue double-breasted admirals in uniforms and military hats.
All three were the most capable of the naval instructors originally awarded by the system.
They were Lombardon, who excelled at commanding large-scale maritime operations. Stan Mellon.
Kodia who is good at sea fighting and tactical command of wolves. Sievsky.
There is also the Mike who was the first to summarize the future way of naval combat after Ulysses proposed weapons such as artillery. Butans.
The people who are rewarded by the system do not have many talents that far exceed the world’s cognition.
After all, it is impossible to wait for the sea cannon era to come at this moment, and these people given by the system already know the joint operation of aircraft carriers.
However, these people are able to make the fastest example after Ulysses proposed a certain concept, and then most systematically summarize a set of world-leading naval tactics.
Ulysses led the three men to a heavily guarded conference room.
A huge azure sand table was now placed in the middle of the conference room.
As the “Seven Six Zero” Ulysses from the Goldfinger map, the perfect reproduction of the sand table.
This one not only marks the most suitable islands for Prucker’s current sea vessels, but also has a series of routes.
At this moment, Ulysses was holding a command baton and pointed to the vast sea, a large island in the sea no smaller than the snowy area of Camberussos.
“This is a huge island with several volcanoes, an estimated area of more than 200,000 square kilometers, and there are some residents.”
Ulysses’ gaze swept across the faces of the three men.
“Volcanic activity will produce a large number of precious mineral deposits, whether it is metal deposits such as gold, silver and copper, or non-metallic diamond and other ore resources, which will be an important resource for our country’s industrial development in the future.”
“And this island, which contains countless riches, has not yet been discovered by the world.”
The faces of Longbottom, Cordia, and Mike all had a look of understanding on their faces.
Apparently, Ulysses’ next order to the Navy was to capture the island.
This huge island, named Golden Island by Ulysses, will not only be a huge hole card in the future when the Pruuk Kingdom is subject to resource sanctions elsewhere.
It will also serve as an ocean-going base for the Navy, which will facilitate various maritime activities in the future.
The most important thing is that as long as the Golden Island is occupied.
Sailing further west through the vast ocean, you will reach another continent on the other side of the sea on the continent of Saint West.
There are more countries over there, with bigger resources and populations.
Ulysses spent these days, I don’t know how many nights he had spent looking at the Goldfinger map, the vast territory of the continent, and the huge population, drooling and falling asleep.
Therefore, after the Rothisse Empire took the initiative to deliver the door, Ulysses did not hesitate to open his mouth and put forward the request of a hundred sea ships.
At this point, your own plan can be carried out smoothly.
After Ulysses made the requirements of the mission clear, he beckoned, and a soldier immediately came with a suitcase.
Inside was a palm-sized, compass-like thing with a glass on the surface.
Ulysses handed these things to the three Cordia.
“During this time, I asked the craftsmen to improve the compass of this era, and the accuracy was more accurate.”
“Together with the astrolabe and quadrantist, and the precise nautical charts I give you, the risk of navigation will be minimized!”
All three of them were surprised by the surprise, which really saved them a lot of trouble.
The exploration of the Golden Island and the continent on the other shore, Ulysses gave it to the three Cordia, as for the small and medium-sized islands that were like stars on the chart at the moment.
Some have been discovered and occupied.
But there are also unowned islands.
Ulysses had no way of deducing what was on the islands, so he could only put it aside for the time being and wait until the next batch of purchased warships, or his own shipyard had built the treasure ships, and then explore again.
A hundred warships, with crossbows and other weapons installed, replenished and replenished, under Ulysses’ watchful eye, soon formed a mighty fleet and headed for the place of the Golden Isle above the Ulysses chart.
He was accompanied by a number of mechanical and mineral exploration experts.
The next time the fleet returns, it will bring back a lot of resources, as well as a valuable overseas colony belonging to Prucker.
However, the outside world is completely unaware of this.
Veroni Golden Feather King.
In the middle of the palace.
Crown Prince Thomas looked at Sophia, who appeared at the court meeting with dignity, and his eyes were full of resignation and anger.
His own half-sister, this time the action is continuous.
Both he and the Minister of War, Bendini, had always thought that she had gathered a large number of ministers and wealthy businessmen.
The first thing was to get these people to support her in abolishing the marriage.
But wait left and right, it’s been half a month.
Sophia had not made any statement on the matter of marriage, as if she had no idea that she had become a victim of the political marriage between the Kingdom of Veroni and the Empire of Lotis.
During this time, as Ulysses transported goods from sea and land into the Kingdom of Veroni Golden Feather, he acted as the general agent.
By this time, Sophia had already brought under her command the Benz Chamber of Commerce, the Kingdom’s second largest grain merchant, the Kingdom’s largest cloth merchant Kurkan Chamber of Commerce, and the Kingdom’s two major weapons forges.
And just recently, Sophia has obtained a large order for warships by virtue of her relationship with Ulysses.
Directly attracted the support of a number of Veloni Navy Yards, as well as major private shipyards.
In just half a month or so, with the support of these nobles and wealthy merchants.
Sophia was directly qualified to sit in the council hall of this palace and participate in the court.
For members of the royal family, only the crown prince who is clearly qualified to inherit the throne among the king’s heirs is eligible to meet with other ministers of the kingdom here.
Sophia, a princess who was destined to have no right to inherit, was now sitting with him, the crown prince, at the scene of the court.
Sophia ignored the resentful gaze of her incompetent brother.
His eyes glanced lightly at Hopps, the Minister of Agriculture in the line of ministers on one side.
The latter immediately came out of the line and opened fire in full force.
“Your Majesty, the Minister of War is going to impeach Rodini. Claude!
Dereliction of duty, greed for money and money, so that now there are bold bandits in the country I.”
“Just three days ago, the Golden Hammer Forge and the Blade Weapon Factory successively heard that the convoy transporting goods was attacked by robbers on the road, and the weapons and armor worth tens of thousands of gold coins were all lost!”
“And now that three days have passed, Bendini has not seen any means of coping, let alone reported to His Majesty!”
“The minister suspects that there must be some collusion between Bendini and the bandits!
Secretly snatching this batch of weapons and armor must be harboring evil intentions!
Intent is not good for the royal family!”
As soon as these words came out, the entire court meeting was dead silent, and everyone looked at Hops in shock at Hopus, who had released such firepower, and then turned his eyes to Bendini, whose face had long been congested with Hops’s words.
The latter rushed directly at Hopps’s voice as soon as his voice dropped, flew up a foot, and was about to kick Hopps’s body, but was suddenly stopped by a strong man.
“Mr. Bendini, this is the court, not the place where your mad dog spills.”
The man stared at Bendini coldly, and the breath of the soldier was emitted.
And seeing that the man had all stood up, Crown Prince Thomas’s eyes widened in horror, and he looked at Sophia, who had always sat in his position and said nothing, in shock and jealousy.
Secretary of the Navy, Sango. When did Rolson get drawn in by her!
?
Although the Kingdom of Villani was a neutral commercial nation, as a country with a strong shipbuilding industry, whether it was its own needs or the maintenance of peace in the territorial sea, killing pirates required naval strength.
Therefore, the status of the Admiralty in the Kingdom of Veroni Golden Feather was not low.
Sango. As the youngest naval minister in the Kingdom of Veroni Golden Feather, Rolson was only about thirty years old.
During his reign, the Villani Golden Feather fleet destroyed more pirates than the previous two naval ministers combined.
Such a figure who should be untamed is quietly thrown into Sophia’s camp.
Peter, who was sitting on the throne, watched this scene expressionlessly, and during this time Sophia’s movements were continuous, and he was naturally clear as a king.
But he didn’t mean to stop it, not just because Sophia was just a woman.
More importantly, he understood that don’t look at how much these people support her now, it’s just a coalition of short-term interests.
For example, Sango, it is because Sophia has invested a huge amount of money for the Villani Naval Shipyard for free, for the development of a larger warship.
This condition made Sango choose to defend Sofia without hesitation.
But when Sophia leaves, Sango will still be the Minister of the Navy, and the large warship under construction has nothing to do with Sophia.
Peter’s eyes turned to Bendini who jumped to his feet in anger….”Bendini, don’t you know what you want to explain about Hops’s impeachment?”
“Your Majesty, Hops is just talking nonsense!
My family has been absolutely loyal to the royal family for generations!”
Hops immediately snorted coldly.
“Then how do you explain that such a huge number of weapons and equipment have been robbed, but you have not sent someone to investigate?”
Isn’t that your duty as War Minister?!”
Bendini was full of excitement, but in the face of Hopps’s question, he really didn’t know how to explain it.
Of course he knew about it, but at that time his wife told him to come home from work early to play some new tricks with him.
The matter was thrown aside by him.
Unexpectedly, today it was made a big fuss by Hopps.
Sweat kept sliding down Hopes’s forehead, and Crown Prince Thomas, who was sitting in the back, finally couldn’t look at it anymore.
Stand up.
“Father King, there is an obvious element of private grudge in Mr. Hopps’s impeachment, and we all understand that they are at odds, and he…”
“His Royal Highness Prince Thomas!
Hops suddenly drank loudly to stop the other person.
Dare to shout at a crown prince like this, it is simply eating the heart of a bear and a leopard.
Hops stared at Thomas with anger on his face, solemnly and coldly.
“Before you testify on his behalf, Prince Thomas, you’d better figure out what this means!”
“That’s fine armor and weapons enough to arm three thousand elite infantry!”
“The garrison strength of the entire palace is only less than two thousand!”
“Prince Thomas, are you now defending him, can’t you really bear it?”
The crowd inhaled cool air.
All by Hopps’s last words “Really can’t stand it?”
I broke out in a cold sweat.
Even Kasan, the naval minister who had just stopped Bendini, was now looking at this little old man with full firepower in surprise.
This guy really dares to say anything!
Everyone could hear what this sentence meant, and they all shuddered and carefully glanced at King Peter on the throne.
At this moment, when he heard Hops say this, thinking about the threat that the three thousand sets of weapons and armor that were missing, even he finally had to pay attention to it.
At the same time, Peter looked at Thomas’s gaze, and it was obvious that a little thought began to appear.
This change instantly made Thomas, who had just stood up, fall into the ice cellar.
And the original supporters of Thomas, at this moment, do not know how to deal with the current situation.
Peter’s eyes scanned coldly, focusing on Thomas, whose face was pale and his legs were weak, for half a moment, and finally he suddenly looked at Sophia, who had been silent.
He asked, “Sophia, you say, how should this matter be resolved?”
Sophia stood up, in a unique posture, with a graceful and gentle smile on her face.
“I believe that the elder brother is definitely not the kind of person in the Hops population, he is the kind of person you grew up watching, he has always studied with you, your courage and wisdom he has inherited, you are his father n.”
“I think it’s just a misunderstanding, those weapons were probably snatched up by the pirates who came ashore, and what we have to do now is to recover these things as soon as possible.”
Sophia’s 5.7 words quietly smoothed out the anxious atmosphere of the scene, and looking up slightly, Sophia looked at King Peter.
Peter nodded, then looked at Bendini with a dull but cold look.
“In half a month, if you can’t recover those weapons, then you should step down as war minister and find a country to farm.”
Bendini nodded hurriedly, his face was miserable, and his body was directly wet with cold sweat.
Then Peter looked at Thomas again.
In the face of Peter’s gaze, Thomas gave a shiver and hurriedly bowed his head.
“Prince Thomas is no longer suitable to stay in the palace, so go to the manor outside the palace to study the governance of the country in peace.”
The crowd was slightly cold, which was already an obvious defense against Thomas.
Thomas did not dare to say anything, bowed his head and took command.
However, when he looked down, the hatred in the other person’s eyes was already scarlet.
He was sure that everything today was secretly manipulated by Sophia in order to weaken his position before King Peter.
However…… He had wrongly underestimated Sophia’s appetite.
If so many arrangements had been made just to weaken Thomas’s position, then Sophia would have been too inferior.
It was supposed to be discussed at the court, and about the recent friction between the border between the Prüke and the Lotis Empire, King Peter was also completely distracted at this moment.
The crowd waved their hands and walked out of the court.
“Sophia, my sister, I really underestimated you!”
At the door of the palace, Thomas stared at Sophia with gritted teeth in anger and said coldly in a voice that only the two could hear.
The gentleness in Sophia’s eyes at this moment also disappeared, and the cold like a poisonous snake converged in her eyes.
Such a unique appearance, but Thomas only felt cold into the bone marrow.
“You did underestimate me.
