Chapter 751 Division of Defense Zones
Soon Siamore boarded the Dragon Roar in a speedboat.
It's one thing to see it from a distance, but it's another thing to actually step on it and observe it up close.
Although Siamore tried his best to keep his face normal, but the flickering eyes still betrayed him.
He is observing this unique battleship, and wants to use his past experience to evaluate the combat effectiveness of this battleship.
As a result, the evaluation failed, and they could only give a list of combat effectiveness. If they fought against it, their old-fashioned warships had only one choice, and that was to flee.
The other side put the military conference on this warship, it may not mean that there is no force to deter.
Since the other party chose to use force to deter, it means that they are still planning to use them instead of beating them to death with a stick.
This is undoubtedly good news for him and his squadron.
This kind of guessing somewhat dissipated the heavy pressure in Siamore's heart. He didn't know that the military meeting being held on this battleship would determine the future fate of him and his fleet.
Taking a deep breath and tidying up his appearance, Siamore pushed the door open and entered, bowed to Sean who was at the top and said, "I've seen the lord."
This undoubtedly showed his attitude of surrender, and made the Marshal of the Yongye Army present look at him much softer.
"Please sit down." Sean nodded.
A servant has added a new seat at the bottom.
Sean turned his head to Gabriel and said, "The Chief of Staff is the most familiar with the situation on both sides, so it's up to you to introduce the situation to His Excellency Siamore!"
"It's my honor." Gabriel finally said, "According to the fleet led by His Excellency Siamore, we have discussed two placement strategies..."
Gabriel explained the resettlement method discussed just now with Siamore in detail: "Your Excellency Siamore knows the situation of your own fleet best. I don't know which one you prefer?"
Siamore didn't directly answer Gabriel's question, but asked instead: "Is it true that you can buy anything? Including the new weapons and ship-mounted artillery that you command?"
"Including ship-mounted artillery!" This time it was not Gabriel but Sean who spoke, "Although we will not limit you to death in this area, don't expect it to be too easy. Ship-mounted artillery is our unique new type. Let's ignore the intangible value of weapons.
Just talking about its own construction value is quite high, and our military leaders have a big gap in themselves. We can only supply you with a limited amount, and it is impossible to sell unlimited.
Moreover, it can only be used for personal use and cannot be sold as a commodity. Once we find out that it is leaking, we will definitely take emergency measures.
As for a series of follow-up issues such as limited sales quantity and exchange price, there will be professionals to discuss with you. "
"Of course I understand the truth." Siamore nodded, and then asked, "What about the right of passage and residence? How will the family members and craftsmen we bring back be arranged?"
Although Siamore did not directly answer the questions they raised, his rhetorical question has already shown his attitude.
Compared with the first option, he prefers the second option.
This solution not only has enough autonomy, but also is very appetizing to them.
"Once you choose the second option, the inland river basin including the Donau River will restrict your passage, and you can only land and trade at designated ports, but your family members do not have so many restrictions, and we will treat them Treat them equally and ensure their absolute safety. As for the artisans you captured, they can be counted as your first contribution. We will convert them into materials at that time, and we will come up with a more systematic and complete exchange method afterwards. This matter I will hand it over to Chief of Staff Gabriel, and if you have any needs and requests, you can negotiate with him." Sean replied.
Siamore took a deep breath and said: "From the strategy given by the lord, I have fully felt your sincerity, and I have no other unreasonable thoughts, I just hope that the lord can let this choice go. Broader."
"What do you mean?" Sean showed a puzzled look this time.
"In your eyes, the Commons family is a pirate group, and the people who come out of it are all extremely vicious.
It would be too one-sided to simply think so. We are also flesh and blood people with our own feelings.
Some people walk into the sea because they are driven by nature, but some people are forced by life. Compared with the life of no fixed place, they hope to have a warm and comfortable foothold, a piece of land of their own. "
Siamore calmly argued for the fleet he represented, "The majority of our fleet may choose to continue to stay at sea to plunder, and a small number of them are tired of this kind of killing and high-risk adventure life." , I hope the lord can give them a chance to choose their own lives."
Sean quickly exchanged glances with several marshals before nodding his head and saying, "Your Excellency Siamore's words are very reasonable. Previously, we treated the fleet led by your Excellency as a whole, which was really inappropriate. Let's do this. Gabriel's main chief of staff."
"Yes." Gabriel obeyed and got up.
"From now on, you will select personnel and form a post-war resettlement committee. The main task is to solicit and coordinate the intentions of all the crew members of the fleet led by Siamore, and arrange them properly according to their intentions and skills. Those who should be sent to the mountains will be sent to the mountains. , Those who should enter the factory should enter the factory, those who should continue to serve should continue to serve, especially the work related to registration and filing must be done well." Xiao En ordered.
"Of order." Gabriel said loudly.
"In addition, the fleet itself should also be reorganized more systematically. Some tiny warships or fishing boats that make up the number should be eliminated from it. If the owners of those warships are tired of life at sea, they should be taken from their hands with a reasonable price. If they choose to continue fighting at sea, they will be converted into corresponding merits and materials for them.” Xiao En added.
"Understood." Gabriel understood.
Don't look at what Xiao En said aboveboard, in fact, this is to let the leader of the Yongye Army join the statistics and reorganization of the squadron led by Siamore.
The leader of the Yongye Army is planning to delegate power to Siamore, allowing him to act freely in the East China Sea.
But the premise of this freedom of action is to put on the reins of the leader of the Yongye army.
As long as there is a need, the leader of Yongye can adjust their direction at any time.
This rein is not just a statistic and adaptation that can be completed, the most important thing is the material exchange system established later.
Even if the squadron led by Siamore has a large number of modified warships, if they don't have the shells provided by the leader of Yongye, they will be toothless tigers, and their power will be greatly reduced.
"Do you have any other questions, sir?" Sean turned to look at Ashmore.
After serious thinking for a few seconds, Ashmore shook his head and said, "Not for the time being."
He is a very self-aware person, and the leader of the Eternal Night Army has allowed them to maintain a certain independence of the squadron, which is already the limit.
If you want to keep your own craftsmen, build your own shipyard, etc., it is purely a dream, and it is nothing more than asking for embarrassment. If you leave a bad impression of your new colleagues with too much ambition, your future It's even more sad.
"Your Excellency Siamore, you are still your captain, but you are no longer the captain of the East China Sea, and you are no longer the captain of the mercenary fleet who is loyal to Stubin, but the captain of the mercenary fleet who is loyal to me and the leader of the Eternal Night Army." , you don’t need to bear any additional obligations except for the call to war. You have the right to act freely in all major sea areas. Similarly, I will not be responsible for your actions in the endless sea. Captain Siamore, yes Do you have any objections to this?" Sean stood up and asked solemnly.
"I don't have any objections." Captain Siamore stood up and responded.
"Very well, we've made a good start, and your placement and adaptation work has officially started." Sean announced loudly.
"My lord, please allow us to leave first." Gabriel said with great insight.
Although the captain of the Seamore fleet has now formally joined the Eternal Night Army Commander in name, it is still not suitable for him to participate in their next military meeting.
"Go!" Sean nodded in agreement.
After watching Gabriel and Siamore leave.
Xiao En led the military conference back to the topic again: "The next thing is about the deployment and mobilization of troops on the Dunau Plain. Corresponding defensive forces must be left to prevent them from taking advantage of the opportunity. There should be no objection from Jiangmen Port, and the Third Army of Marshal Eriksson is still defending, and the explorer fleet led by General Arnold is supporting it."
"Is it too extravagant for a group army to sit here?" Marshal Eriksson analyzed, "After the previous battle, Stubbing should have a great psychological shadow on fighting deep in the river. Give him ten guts, and he doesn't dare to drill in. What's more, their landing troops are completely lost, and it is difficult to go ashore to fight again. It should be enough for the explorer fleet to be in command, and a legion stationed in Jiangmen port. !"
"I let you sit in Jiangmen Port, but I didn't let you garrison one city or one place. When the time comes, the Wuhe battlefield area will all be merged into your defense zone. At that time, Jiangmen Port will put one legion, and Brother Port will put one legion. There can only be one legion in the River Battlefield, and what you have to guard against is not only the East China Sea Kingdom, but also the mercenary fleet led by Captain Siamore, you have to work on such a huge territory!"
Sean made the task assignment more clear, "When the time comes, it will not only be military defense that will fall on you, you will also need to cooperate with Marshall in salvage of sunken ships, dredging of river channels and a new round of large-scale development work, especially the Five Rivers battlefield. The five openings must be blocked as soon as possible, and I don't want to see this kind of battle going deep into our territory a second time."
"Of order." Marshal Eriksson stood up and responded.
"Marshal Tagore, the main task of your Second Army is still keeping an eye on Commander Carter." Sean turned his gaze to Marshal Tagore, who was a little idle.
Marshal Tagore was shocked when he heard his name, but when he heard that they were not transferred to the front line, his expression immediately drooped, and he said weakly: "My dear lord, when can we switch defenses? I originally That fierce tiger has turned into a guard dog, with a big bald head, don't laugh secretly, just talk about you, shouldn't the defense zones of our two armies change?"
"Marshal Tagore must not underestimate your current defense mission. Although your defense area is not as large as Marshal Eriksson's, it is only as important as it has become the first heavy industrial area of our military leader. The future The development depends entirely on this place, and it is adjacent to Brother Port. You can go directly to Jiangmen Port when you go down, and you can go to the Twin Cities and the northern fortress when you go up. Your group army is our number one mobile army. No matter where the war is tight, we need you first. Time will pass." Sean comforted him earnestly.
He doesn't know that it is a kind of humiliation for a general to guard one side, but the problem is that he doesn't have many choices. Although Marshal Tagore is not as stable as Marshal Eriksson, he can be regarded as remarkable.
"I've been talking for a long time, but I'm not a reserve." Marshal Tagore muttered in a low voice, but he also knew that the Yongye army leader was a whole, and some tasks always needed to be done by others, and it was impossible to choose according to one's own temperament.
When a tiger stays in a system long enough, he will become a tiger who knows how to obey the rules of the system.
"Marshal Di Kelong, you lead the Guards Army to garrison the northern fort first, and Marshal McKee's First Army and Marshal Yar's Fifth Army first gather at the capital of New Brissand to stand by." Sean then told the other three Marshal said.
"Obey." The other three marshals stood up at the same time and obeyed.
Sean didn't assemble all three army groups to the northern fortress right away, so he naturally had his own considerations—supply pressure.
The northern fortress is surrounded by mountains, and food production is scarce. In the past, there were at least some herds on the Kogel grassland to supplement some food. With the rise of the undead empire led by Narentoya.
The Kogel Grassland has basically been abandoned. Most of the food in the northern fortress is mobilized and transported from within the territory. Fortunately, the construction of the magic tractor was completed a few years ago, which solved the problem of material transportation here. Otherwise, the Eternal Night Army would have It is not easy to station troops on a large scale here, let alone start a large-scale war.
Just using magic tractors for large-scale transportation, there is a problem of transportation costs.
Instead of transferring all the group armies and transporting various supplies, it is better to let them station at the inland lake of Andis, the material distribution center. After the war starts, it is only a short time to transfer them to the front line through the magic tractor. In just a few days.
Sean was just talking about the Dragon Roar's post-war relocation military meeting, and many places were subtly downplayed, but the people below are about to lose their legs in a hurry.
Not to mention anything else, just the placement committee of the mercenary fleet headed by Gabriel has included more than a thousand people.
Among them, only 80% are the administrative staff of the Eternal Night Army Commander, and the other 20% are formed by the captain of the Seamore fleet leading his own fleet captain, captain, and bosun.
The purpose, of course, is to argue with the resettlement committee members like Gabriel. After all, this involves the fundamental interests of his future.
Even if you can get one more shipboard artillery and a box of artillery ammunition, it would be good.
