Chapter 834: Darkness
Waving his hand to interrupt Inoshita's words, Herbomoto Jiro continued: "To prevent affecting the morale of the military, these things should have been announced later, but you are my most trusted and most powerful subordinate, and it is better to talk to you about some things in advance, just say that Cai Ning, don't underestimate him, this person is a pirate on the surface, but he has a very strong background behind it." ”
Insubta looked at Herboto Jiro suspiciously, he really couldn't think of a pirate leader, what background could he have that could make Herbamoto General call it powerful.
Jiro Kusamoto was pleased with Inoshita's shocked expression, and continued, "Do you know how our heavy warships came to be? ”
Inoshita said cautiously: "Listening to Changchuan, it seems that it was purchased from the Wanliu Empire, a coastal power in the southern continent of the eastern sea. ”
There was no surprise that the news was not deliberately kept secret, and nodded and said: "That's right, the navigation industry of the Wanliu Empire is very developed, and I have to admit that their navy is very powerful. ”
Inoshita was shocked and said, "More powerful than our Liusang Empire? ”
Herb nodded: "Although I don't want to admit it, but this is a fact, their navy is very large, the outside world knows that there are three fleets, each fleet has more than 100 warships, it is a warship, not a mixed fleet like ours, and also, their warships have better performance than ours, and they are equipped with long-range heavy weapons with a longer range, our heavy warships can be regarded as top-level warships in our Liusang Empire, but in the Wanliu Empire, at most, they are second-rate configurations, I heard that they have a Flying Fish type of warship, The hull should be larger, faster and more combat-ready. ”
Jing Shita thought thoughtfully: "General, do you say that these things have anything to do with that Cai Ning?" ”
Herb nodded appreciatively: "That's right, in fact, this Cai Ning's true identity is the younger brother of the Emperor of the Wanliu Empire." ”
As soon as these words came out, the well was shocked beyond measure, his mouth opened wide, and it took a while to come back to his senses: "Then, isn't Cai Ning His Royal Highness the Prince of the Wanliu Empire?" Why did he run away to be a pirate? ”
Herboto Jiro said with emotion: "Politics is the struggle for power, just like the Eastern Sage Empire, the previous emperor was seriously ill, and the two princes competed for the throne, so that Yuan Fang's powerful Eastern Sage Empire became so weak in a short period of time, and we had the opportunity to expand our territory." Different from the Dongsheng Empire, although the Wanliu Empire was also the same when the first emperor died, several princes did everything, and even saw each other with swords, but this time was very short to divide the victory and defeat, and it did not have much impact on the Wanliu Empire itself, and the current emperor is also very capable, over the years, the economy and military strength of the Wanliu Empire have reached a new level, and this Cai Ning was the one who failed in the struggle for the throne, and later worried that his imperial brother would retaliate, so he left his hometown and went to sea alone, Later, he somehow became a pirate and became the leader of a group of pirates. The emperor of the Wanliu Empire did not kill him after learning about this, after all, they are brothers, and there is a trace of compatriot affection, as long as Cai Ning stays at sea honestly and does not go to the Wanliu Empire to stir up the wind and rain, the emperor of the Wanliu Empire will not embarrass him, and the reason why Cai Ning was in the eastern sea in the past few years was more or less secretly helped by the Wanliu Empire. ”
Jing Xia suddenly realized, and guessed: "The general pulled this Cai Ning over, did he want to applaud the Wanliu Empire through him?" ”
Herb shook his head: "Of course, our Liusang will be friendly with the Wanliu Empire, but not through Cai Ning, but it also has a direct relationship with him." ”
Seeing the confusion on Inoshita's face, Jiro Herboto explained: "Didn't I say just now, politics is full of deception and blood, Naning, you must die." ”
The well is completely blinded, didn't you say that you want to make friends with Wanliu? If Cai Ning died, how would the Wanliu Empire react? Wait, if Cai Ning dies, it doesn't seem to be any harm to the emperor of the Wanliu Empire, and there is one less confidant, isn't it, isn't it? Inoshita seems to understand something.
Seeing the shocked expression of the well, Herboto smiled faintly and said: "It seems that you have already guessed the answer, that's right, this is our cooperation with the Wanliu Empire, as long as Cai Ning is dead, not only can you go out of the Wanliu Emperor's henchmen, but also give the Wanliu Empire an excuse to send troops." ”
Ishita was shocked again: "An excuse to send troops? General, could it be that the Wanliu Empire will also send troops to the Eastern Sage? However, the Eastern Sage Empire is only so big, and we are now cooperating with Yuanhe and Ningyuan, if we add a more powerful Wanliu Empire to come in, will the benefits we can get too little? ”
Herboto Jiro smiled and said, "It's right to cooperate in the conquest of the Eastern Saint Empire, but when the interests are divided, there will be no more Ningyuan Empire, and the benefits are not only the land and population of the Eastern Saint Empire. ”
After a little consideration, he understood the meaning of the herb: "Could it be that after conquering the Eastern Sage Empire, we are going to make a move against the Ningyuan Empire?" ”
Herb stared into the well's eyes: "What? What are your different opinions? ”
Insuba was shocked, and hurriedly denied it: "Of course not, I just said it casually." ”
Herb nodded with satisfaction: "Soldier, just obey the order, you don't have to think about anything else now, when you get to my position, you will be able to get in touch with this so-called bullshit politics, maximize interests, this is the core, you can't trust any so-called friends." ”
Underground thought for a while, nodded and said worriedly: "General, after the matter is completed, we will not follow in the footsteps of the Ningyuan Empire, right?" ”
Jiro Kumoto said approvingly: "You are very good, you can calm down and think about the problem so quickly, I can tell you this clearly, no, as for the reason, it is a matter of imperial secrets, and it is not convenient to tell you for the time being." ”
Inoshita breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, with the general strategizing, my Liusang Empire will definitely prosper." ”
Boom, boom, boom, the sound of explosions came one after another, and Jiro Kusamoto and Inoshita looked back in horror, only to see Mu Ye's fleet burning with raging fires, strange things suspended in the sky above them, and those strange things flying in the sky kept dropping small black dots, and the small black dots fell on the ship and exploded, and the power was amazing.
Inoshita was shocked and said, "What are those things?" How can you take to the skies? Where did they come from? The guards not far away looked stupid, and they had no way to answer the questions from the well.
Herb's face became extremely ugly, just now he felt that the fleet was a little unusual, and deliberately sent people to explore the surrounding area to find ambushes, but he didn't expect that the other party really had an ambush, but not at sea, but in the air.
