1502 Launched and Took Off Smoothly
A small country does not have the ability to resist international risks, and moderation and peace cannot bring real respect.
People will knead you into what they need, just like this brief confrontation between the Federation and the Penteo people. Have they considered the interests of the Lemar Republic?
No, not at all, because Lemar has never shown much toughness, and even the protests of the previous president are just a political trick in the eyes of the federal people.
People will respect this place only if Lemar is turned into a spiked ball, small and crushable, but capable of hurting someone's hand.
Republic, freedom, equality, none of these can turn it into a thorny ball, but dictatorship can!
The chairman of the Democratic Party of China was shocked and remained silent for a long time. Finally, he sighed, "Maybe you are wrong."
The chairman of the Autonomous Party asked rhetorically, "You failed, mine failed, no one knows if it is right, but if we do nothing, it is really wrong."
In fact, when he said this, the chairman of the Democratic Party of China already knew the result.
His old friend wants to remove all the "stones" that affect his dictatorship, but he is the biggest one. He must be removed and then thrown away.
This is his inevitable result!
After a while, the chairman of the Helping Democratic Party smiled and said, "You are right, at least there is hope..."
The next day, the chairman of the Democratic Party of China was invited by the investigation team to cooperate with the investigation. Although it was finally confirmed that the route pursued by the investigation team was wrong, some other problems were also discovered.
For example, the chairman of the Democratic Party and members of the Democratic Party have the problem of taking advantage of their positions to obtain a large amount of illegal income...
When these things were revealed, they immediately triggered anger across the island!
Lemar is already poor enough, but there are people lying on their bodies to suck blood. How can this keep people calm?
What makes the people collectively lose their voice is that the former president was also involved in the transfer of interests, judging from some data released by the National Bank.
About 20% of the benefits that flowed into the Democratic Party went into the personal account of the former president.
In this small country with a per capita annual income of less than two hundred federal soles, the president's personal account contains wealth equivalent to more than three million federal soles.
These are only the ones that have been proven. No one knows whether there is still money in some accounts that have not been proven or are not controlled!
People's anger gradually turned into disappointment, and in the end it might just turn into a helpless sigh.
People's sentiments are constantly changing, but the Independence Party has no intention of stopping.
A large number of government officials were taken away for investigation, and people from the Autonomous Party quickly filled in these gaps. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Autonomous Party is taking advantage of some things to continuously expand its scope of influence!
But these people did not say anything, nor did they take a stand. Some of them considered that this might be an opportunity and actively wanted to join it.
There are also some people who have accelerated their departure. They realize that World War II will be an important turning point for the Lemar Islands!
The attention paid to the assassination of the former president because of... has dropped a lot, and the world seems to have returned to its original calm. It was at this time that Pengeo's first sea fortress was launched.
In early July, the weather was just right, and Emperor Pengeo visited the site in person to visit the launching ceremony of the "Royal" sea fortress.
It has to be said that in terms of foundation and magnanimity, the Pengeo Empire is far superior to the Gaevra Empire.
Both sides are empires, but... there are still obvious differences in some things.
The Emperor of the Pengeo Empire was not wearing casual clothes, he was wearing a military uniform.
He wears a black military uniform with gold trim and some medals hanging on his chest. It is said that he got it after joining the army when he was young.
Apart from this, there are no other more decorations. He is more like a soldier and a general than an emperor.
Every military salute and every step was extremely regular, exuding a powerful aura from the inside out.
This kind of momentum was completely different from the momentum exuded by the emperor who had already gone to see God. It seemed even more powerful and invincible.
He stood in the sun with his hands behind his back, and the battleship chief designer beside him was introducing him to some parameters of this sea fortress.
A large number of reporters were filming frantically, including not only local reporters from Penjiao, but also foreign reporters and even federal reporters.
Before the launching ceremony, ministers raised the issue of whether to publicize it.
His Majesty the Emperor did not choose to refuse, but allowed the foreign reporters to observe it up close and take pictures.
In the words of His Majesty the Emperor, these things will eventually spread. Rather than being secretive and spreading it out like a joke, it is better to show it openly to others.
And, this is just a "sample".
It is the first-generation sea fortress, and its parameters have actually lagged behind. Showing this actually backward model to people will be of great help in hiding their true strength.
Once a war breaks out, if the other side still uses these backward parameters as a reference, then the subsequent installation of sea fortresses will definitely surprise their enemies.
At the same time, this is also an opportunity to demonstrate the power of the Pengeo Empire, which can increase domestic people's confidence in the war and also deter those enemies.
As the people shouted to His Majesty the Emperor, and after His Majesty returned the favor, a strange warship was pulled out from the dock.
"It looks like a bathtub with wooden planks and a weird design!"
One reporter couldn't help but joke that it looked like that.
Unlike ordinary battleships where the equipment is in the middle, the buildings on this battleship are on the side, which looks a bit weird.
People talked a lot, and as more detailed details were revealed in front of people, people let out more exclamations!
"Oh my God, there's really a plane up there!"
Some sharp-eyed people saw a plane parked on the deck, which immediately triggered more discussions.
As a vast country, the Pengeo Empire's war output in inland warfare was much higher than its output in naval warfare. This also caused their warship technology to lag far behind Gaevra.
After all, Gafra is an island country with limited resources. Reality forces them to turn their attention to the ocean.
Therefore, whether the Gevra people's warships can fight is always a problem. Fortunately, the Gevra people's sea fortress plan helped the Penteo people solve this problem!
Some people who knew the inside story couldn't help but have interesting smiles on their faces, and only they themselves knew why!
Originally, this was a trap set by the Gefra people to deceive the federal people. Unexpectedly, the Pengeo people got the plan and with their own expert research, they overcame many difficulties and made it a reality!
In fact, the construction of this kind of sea fortress is simpler than the technology of battleships, at least from the current perspective.
It does not require any fire control system, and it does not function in front-line artillery battles. As long as it is large enough, can float, and has a certain speed, it is enough!
What remains is how to make the aircraft take off smoothly on a shorter runway, which is a matter for the aviation research department!
Maybe its birth was an accident, but this accident allowed the Penteo people to seize the "war code".
With the emperor's consent, people saw the pilot boarding the plane. After a simple inspection, the plane entered the runway.
Because people's sight lines were low, they couldn't see the specific situation on the runway. They only knew that with a loud noise, a burst of water vapor rose up from the battleship, and then the plane quickly flew up. When it was about to leave the deck, it began to pull up. !
His Majesty the Emperor breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to applaud, and the entire port suddenly burst into fierce applause!
Everyone knows that once the test flight is successful, it means that it really has the strategic intention when it was manufactured.
Now Pengeo is working hard to produce various types of aircraft. They know that they are not the opponent of the Gefulans in naval battles and the Federals who defeated the Gefulans fleet, so they directly gave up the battleships.
Compared with direct bombardment, long-range aircraft bombing is the key to victory!
A smooth takeoff means that as long as there are planes and pilots, Pengeo has endless war potential!
There was no need to publicize it. After the news reported the news that day, there was another wave of recruitment craze in the society.
For Penteo people, joining the army is not a painful thing. In this country, since its birth, the upward path opened through military merit has never been closed!
Whether it is directly joining the army to kill the enemy on the battlefield, or financing the war by purchasing war bonds, or joining in any way, people can get positive feedback.
As long as the war can be won, everyone can get dividends!
The news that Pengeo's first sea fortress was launched quickly spread throughout the world, and the Gefra people fell into silence after knowing it.
You know... this is a lie in itself. They hope to use this lie to lead the federation in the wrong direction and consume their research capabilities and money.
The Federation people were not fooled. They said they were doing research while giving some false and unrealistic parameters to defraud the Gefra people.
The two countries are playing a numbers game, using this lie as a means to harass each other.
But...why do the Pengeo people take it seriously?
Not only did they take it seriously, they actually made the fucking thing!
The Prime Minister immediately summoned the ministers, and faced with the photos sent back, he asked a question
"Who can tell me how we should respond when the Penteo people install such warships in large numbers?"
