This woman is none other than the princess of the Mederor royal family, named Jacqueline Belwood, who is the third daughter of Conrad Belwood, the current king of Medenor. Her sister is married to Yanin and is now Yaning's princess, while her brother is the legal successor of Medeno, the eldest prince Brendan Bellwood. Like all princes and kings of Meednor, both she and her brother Brendan were required to be able to command a ship personally, especially Brendan, who was sent to the academy ship in Medeno to further her naval command skills because she might need to command the entire war. She was confident that her brother would be able to rule the country in the future, but the only thing that made her uncomfortable was that she was a woman.

The king is very fond of his third daughter, originally according to the convention, the princess is used as a weight for foreign marriage to pry diplomatic relations with other countries, Jacqueline, as a princess, is naturally very aware of this, but as a princess, she has a completely different vision from ordinary people, sees different things, and thinks differently, she thinks more about her own freedom, she wants to have her own life without interference, and hopes to have the love that her sister can't have. But until now, she didn't have to worry too early when she was less than sixteen, because her father promised her that he would not marry her off before the age of twenty.

She was a very intelligent girl who was favored by her father, and her royal genes gave her unrivalled beauty, but she was not satisfied with her appearance, because she thought she was so beautiful that everyone who saw her ignored her intelligence. She hated the salivating look of someone staring at her during a negotiation, so she didn't like to participate in such diplomatic negotiations.

However, this time was an exception, she had heard by chance some time ago that the Medeno fleet had suffered a crushing defeat when ambushing a fleet, not only did it fail to destroy the ambushed fleet, but its own ships suffered heavy losses, and several capital ships had to rush to the beach to prevent sinking. The ambushed fleet consisted of only one destroyer, and although it suffered losses in the battle, it did not seem to have hurt the roots, and it swaggered away after the battle. This battle report, which sounded too fake, made her scoff at the time, such a war report was obviously full of loopholes, with the equipment and training of Medenor's fleet, how could such an exchange be made? Not even the fleet of the Yanin.

But soon she saw it in a large stack of her father's war report, sent by none other than Mycenae, and described in detail how the ambushed destroyer had risen from the encirclement and returned to beat the Medenor fleet to the ground. Mycenae, as the deputy commander of the Southern Fleet, has now taken over the Eastern Fleet, and it is impossible for her to be in the battle report, which makes her wonder in her heart, who is this destroyer? How can there be such a strong fighting force?

Soon she found a word that was not unfamiliar - the word "country", the word "country" had not appeared for a long time, but it was a hot word for the people of Medenor. Jacqueline also had a very good sense of the word, and in her jewelry box was a clear glass bottle containing a light blue perfume perfume, which had been presented to her father by a fleet commander, who had given it to her, and she had soon learned from her maid the price of the "perfume"—an absolute price. Now seeing this word again in this war report, she can't help but exclaim, what are the Chinese people doing? In addition to being able to make perfumes, he is also so accomplished in war?

Her maid quickly refreshed her cognition again, it turned out that since half a year ago, her ship's blankets, drinking glasses, enamel tableware for eating, silver knives, forks and spoons, and even her favorite stuffed bears were all purchased from the Chinese by the Meideno merchants, and even her favorite yellow dress that showed off her figure was actually made by the Chinese, and all these popular goods came from a new city by the sea in a province called Annam in the south of the mysterious Wu Dynasty, called Dongfang Port.

Dongfang Port immediately left a deep impression on her mind, and as she searched for more and more information, her impression of Dongfang Port began to gradually become clear. The city was founded by a group of people who once called themselves Americans, who sailed from the depths of the ocean in a steel ship, accompanied by a fleet of steel clippers that could do their own without the need for oars. The group, numbering no more than five hundred, defeated a siege of thousands of local troops shortly after the landing, suffering few casualties. The local government of Wuguo was unable to expel them, so they had to let them go, and contrary to the habit of the Medeno people, this group did not ask for a high "ransom fee" after defeating the locals, but only demanded that local laborers be recruited. Jacqueline quickly turned over the relevant information, but was so frightened on the spot that she almost turned her back on the spot, these people actually recruited as many as 10,000 or so laborers in just three months, judging from the request, their requirements for manpower seem to be a bottomless pit, almost as many people as many people as they come, and now the population of Dongfang Port has exceeded 60,000 people.

Almost at the same time, the Nanban invaded the country of Annam in the north under the command of the staff officers sent by Medeno, and according to the plan, the commander of Medeno would command such a plundering army to reach the border of the country of Wu and then turn back, but on the way, it was attacked by an army of unknown origin, and then directly encountered a firearms army near Shangang and confronted it head-on, and after the confrontation, it dealt a devastating blow to the Dhaka tribe, which was known as the strongest of the Nanban tribe. At that time, Bogdan, the leader of the Nanban, decided to attack with all his army to completely wipe out this Annan army that used firearms, and immediately made arrangements for Maideno to draw the main force from the plundering army from all over the place to attack the source of this Annan army, the port of Champang.

But this attack has become a nightmare for all the northern invaders, first of all, along the way they will be attacked by a manned and flying "bird", this bird can choose the grain and grass of the Nanban to launch a targeted fire attack, even if there is no food and grass in the later stage, they can also choose the most valuable attack method to cause damage to the Nanban, when the Nanban arrived at the city of Champong, at least 500 barbarian soldiers died from the attack of this bird; The second is that they will be attacked by a mysterious team along the way, the other party obviously uses firearms, but both the rate of fire and the accuracy are far beyond the cognition of the Meedno people, and they are very accurate in choosing targets, the most terrible attack They attacked the headquarters of the barbarians, killed more than ten people, and captured two Medeno staff officers in the barbarians, so that Medenor's plan to hide behind the barbarians and command the loot was completely bankrupt. According to the survivors' accounts, the number of attackers would not exceed fifteen, but the attack was swift and accurate, and it could be called an army of a hundred battles. This attack team not only attacked the barbarian headquarters, but also repeatedly targeted long-range attacks on the low-level officers of the barbarian army, systematically destroyed road signs, and planted underground earth-shaking thunders along the way, so that the entire barbarian army not only lacked rest and was exhausted when it arrived at the city of Champong, but also could not find officers, morale was low, and the command system of the barbarian army was almost paralyzed; In the ensuing siege of Champang, the barbarian army surrounded the port of Champa facing the sea from three sides, but suffered heavy losses under the continuous firearms attacks in the city, especially when they reached the vicinity of the city wall, and were attacked by a kind of throwing projectiles, and finally suffered from low morale and led to a rout. The port of Champa negotiated with Bogdan in the case of total superiority, and spent a large amount of grain in exchange for the complete withdrawal of the barbarian army and all the prisoners, needless to say, these prisoners were digested by the group of countrymen.

At the same time, the six sharp ships of the Mederno Eastern Fleet approached the port of Vostochny because they got lost, and because they did not know the location, they launched an attack on the port of the east, but not only failed to capture the port of the east, but because of the unfavorable battle, two ships were sunk and four ships were captured. For the Maidno people, these people who can make a large number of precious commodities should not have such a strong force, especially the sea power, the sea power of the whole world should be controlled in the hands of the Maidno people, if it falls into the hands of such a mysterious force, it will undoubtedly be a devastating blow to the Maidno people. So at that time, the intelligence agency made a decision to give the Dongfang Port forces a salary, and they quickly made a plan, first by buying off the domestic forces in Annam, and leaving the princess faction in Champa Port, so that the people would lose their support from Annan, so that the people would not have enough food supply and distribution markets, and they would soon lose their vitality and have to take refuge in the Medeno people.

But what happened next was beyond the expectations of the Medno, and the Annam officials, attracted by Houlu, launched a rebellion in a hurry, and quickly drove out the Annam Emperor Nguyen Phuc Nguyen and the princess Nguyen Thanh, so fast that they did not even have time to complete the landing of the Maidno Marine Army. Because of the tearing of the skin, the Maidno people, who took over the Annan government, directly mobilized more than 100,000 people from the South Coast Army, the most elite army of Annan, to attack the Oriental Port, hoping to completely sweep the Oriental Port in one fell swoop, and then appeared as the savior of the Chinese people, and was able to take over the Oriental Port logically.

However, the saying that man is not as good as heaven once again played its role, and the southern shore army encountered resolute resistance from the ** team in front of a castle west of the port of Champong. Originally, according to the ideas of the Maidno people, the barbarian army only had more than 10,000 people when attacking the port of Champang, perhaps it was a failure caused by lack of manpower, but now the army on the south coast with more than 100,000 regular troops will be able to capture the port of the east that is being vigorously developed in any case, and it is only right that the port of Champa can be defeated at worst. But the result of the war almost shocked Jacqueline's jaw again, more than 100,000 troops were beaten under the wall named "Shabak", and thousands of ** teams were beaten to the point that they could not find the formation under several interspersed and charged, and they did not even have the ability to resume the attack.

After not hateful and not cool, the ball is the most popular

The rout of the South Shore Army had a consequence that the Medeno had not imagined, that is, North Annan, who had been eyeing the south for a long time, finally found an opportunity. They had collected most of the Southern army in their previous rout, and then launched an attack before the Maidnor Marines stationed in the border town had time to prepare for it, and after paying heavy casualties, the Maidno dragoons suffered heavy casualties, many musket battalions were even directly lost in the battle, and less than a tenth of the army fled back to the mountain harbor. The northern army did not have the slightest consciousness of good harvest, but took Jiezhen as a starting point, launched an attack everywhere, burned and killed all the way along the way, and rushed to Hue. At this time, the Medeno people not only failed to push their countrymen into the water and then beat the water dogs, but became water dogs themselves, and in order to seize the initiative, they had to be stretched thin to send the originally poorly trained and extremely limited number of South Annan troops as a fire brigade.

Thinking of this, Jacqueline couldn't help but sigh and shook her head, she couldn't help but sigh for Medeno not to forget the pit of the Chinese people at such a good time, sending a fleet to attack the fleet of the Chinese people, and finally provoking the Chinese people to hold a "Senate Assembly" in the Oriental Port to directly discuss whether to start a full-scale war with the Medenor.

Hou Yuanke is not cool and hated by the moon and cold

She is a very smart girl, and the genes of the royal family also give her unmatched beauty, but she is not satisfied with her appearance, because she thinks she is so beautiful that everyone who sees her ignores her intelligence. She hated the salivating look of someone staring at her during a negotiation, so she didn't like to participate in such diplomatic negotiations.

If someone had talked about it a few years ago, Jacqueline might have thought these people were as ridiculous as a praying mantis raising its scythe in front of an elephant. But things have developed so far, and she has to face up to the strength of this group of Chinese people. She knows that there is a saying called one force to ten meetings, and she has seen from many examples of wars, no matter what kind of war, it is almost impossible to achieve more with less when the two sides are equally equipped, even if there are one or two examples of winning more with less, it must be achieved by forming an overwhelming advantage to a certain extent. The problem is that from the first day of the establishment of the Oriental Port to the present, every battle fought by the Chinese people has been won with less, from the beginning of 500 against thousands, 2,000 against more than 10,000, and later 4,000 against 100,000 people, this is not an overwhelming superiority in command, but an absolute superiority in weapons, which can be clearly seen in the Mycenaean war report, a mere destroyer can not only retreat under the siege of several capital ships, but also basically all these capital ships can be severely damaged, It's almost as incredible as a mouse picking out a class of cats.

All this combined strengthened her belief in coming to Dongfang Harbor to see what kind of divine skills the Chinese people had, and she even wanted to steal some Chinese skills in military science and technology to improve the combat effectiveness of the Maidno army.
