Chapter 805: Moving the Capital
The sun never sets in September of the 10th year of the new calendar.
In addition to the three imperial forces that were the center of this war began to enter the period of recuperation, whether it was the southern continent or the eastern continent, and even the northeastern continent, which was covered by ice and snow all year round, the forces belonging to the two factions of the continent group war also stopped fighting and turned into a state of rest.
The Qin Empire, to which the Sun Never Sets Empire, belonged to the Qin Empire, finally completed the goal of dozens of centuries passed down by its ancestors at the end of July - to complete the great unification of the Eastern Continent, and although the Crescent Moon Empire had never taken any piece of land from the Orc Empire after the unification of the west coast of the Southern Continent at this time, both the orcs and the elves understood that there was no good fruit to eat if the two sides continued to die, so under the witness of the envoys of the Sunset and the Divine Light Empire, A ten-year peace pact was signed, known as the "Southern Continental Truce".
However, although the two stopped the war between the two imperial forces, there was no real ceasefire on the frontiers of the two empires: after the Crescent Empire obtained a batch of obsolete war equipment that the sun never set, it immediately formulated a half-year-long army repair plan, but in fact this plan was only used for the elven troops of the Crescent Empire, and at this time, the human emperor, who had just recaptured the original eastern territory of the Crescent Empire, embarked on an expedition plan to the north of the empire, preparing to lead the troops across the desert on the east coast, The countries of the Southwest Regions of the Central Continent that stabbed the Crescent Moon Empire in the back before marching. The orcs, on the other hand, shifted their strategic goals to the southeastern continent due to the shortage of food in winter and the inability to move south to the territory of the Crescent Empire.
However, just as the forces of the King Continent entered the recuperation period, there was another one in the empire where the sun never sets, almost in a day. The kingdom-level power rulers fell from their chairs, and the empire-level power rulers were scared into a cold sweat: the Sun Never Sets Empire will complete the relocation of the capital before Christmas in the 10th year of the new calendar, and the new capital will be set in Atlantis.
Moving the capital is not a matter of accommodating. In addition to taking into account the transfer and integration of politics and culture between the old and new capitals, the expenditure spent on moving the capital is also a huge figure. According to the statistics of the Ministry of the People's Republic of China, it will cost about 5 million gold coins to build the headquarters of the three major departments of the new Atlantis City, and safely transfer all the office staff and their families to Atlantis City, not including the urban planning funds in Atlantis City due to the arrival of the three major departments of the Sunset.
Although Atlantis, a giant city that encompasses hundreds of kilometers of coastline and thousands of square kilometers of coastal land along the coast of the western continent, is constantly expanding and renovating, and some of the territories belonging to the empire allow the sunset to settle down in various departments, but the settlement fee is definitely in the millions; Although Atlantis also has a natural giant palace complex that can be used as the new imperial palace of the empire, the huge city walls that stretch for hundreds of miles and are intertwined and complex, under the construction of the master builders of the sunset, can definitely be said to be one of the most difficult cities in the king continent to conquer.
The problem is that Atlantis is a shrine to Poseidon, not Christian. A national religion is the capital of the great empire of Christianity, but it is the holy land of another sect, such a problem is even stricter than Jerusalem at the beginning, it can be said that if Sun Lin really goes out this step, it is very likely to face the situation in Jerusalem in the future, after all, the Poseidon Sect is the second oldest sect in the king continent, and the Poseidon Sect is not only Atlantis, but it is not only the country that believes in the Poseidon Sect.
"Your Majesty, this will expose all the colonies in the South China Sea and the Northwest Sea under our control to the enemy's nose!" The city of Atlantis was formerly inside the Imperial Palace of the Atlantean Empire. With an anxious face, Orso said anxiously: "Your Majesty, after the implementation of your military reform plan, the strength of these colonies is only enough to maintain law and order, and our expeditionary fleet is now changed to the Inland Sea Fleet stationed in the Inland Sea. It will not be able to fall at all in the short term, and the Xiyi fleet is in a state of recovery again, if it really touches those countries on the southwest coast. Our operations in the South China Sea and the Northwest Sea will be ruined! Please think twice! ”
Orso is considered to be the old minister of the empire, and he himself is over sixty years old. Orso specializes in naval warfare and has extensive experience in both naval and landing battles. This is one of the reasons why Sun Lin appointed him as the supreme commander of the navy in the previous Maginot battle, but Orso has a shortcoming, that is, his thinking is too rigid, and his style of acting is too fair, in short, he will not be flexible, which is also the reason why Sun Lin sent Soli to the Inland Sea after the Battle of Maginot to assist the vampire empire in building a navy and then transferred Blackbeard back, and took Orso with him.
Instead of fighting the enemy on the front line, it is better to get Orso back and set up a special naval logistics department to deal with him.
"Orso, you think too much, in fact, there are very few people who are really likely to be touched, and the navy of these forces is nothing more than a rabble, command issues, partition issues, etc., they didn't even arrive in the South China Sea, even if they really came to the South China Sea Continent, then their fate will only be to have no return to Orso, have you forgotten that I promised to help the vampire empire build a navy before?"
"What does the crown mean?" Orso asked, confused.
In this regard, Sun Lin only smiled contemptuously: "The so-called formation is just to give them some obsolete battleship blueprints, and send some incompetent shipwrights to Dugu City to give lectures, my real purpose is just to get the vampire group of lazy people to move, and then withdraw my North Sea Fleet." ”
"Your Majesty, what about Dugu City and the North Sea, without the suppression of our North Sea Fleet, I am afraid that those pirates in the north will be rampant again, this will be a very big blow to our maritime trade, and the channel we use to connect the Red Fortress is also on the North Sea side." It's not that Orso doesn't know about the vampire navy, on the contrary, as a vampire empire designer of the navy, he knows very well what the vampire empire's navy is like even after it is formed.
"You don't have to worry about this, the mountain people have their own tricks." Sun Lin smiled slightly: "Orso, I can tell you clearly, even if we have an extremely severe loss in the Beihai Sea this time, it will not be able to compare to the benefits brought by this capital move." ”
In fact, Sun Lin is really not wrong about this, because if the Sun Never Sets Empire succeeds in moving its capital this time, the return of the Sun Never Set Empire will even far exceed the empire's annual income.
First of all, nominally and diplomatically, because the original country of the Sun Never Sets Empire is on another continent, although it is only a hundred nautical miles away from the northwest continent of the King Continent, but in the final analysis, this makes the Sun Never Set Empire not a king continent power in the real sense.
Don't look at the King Continent for thousands of years, because of the war and has been in the backward dark medieval era, but the preservation of documents among various races and nationalities is still relatively good, and it is precisely because of this King Continent that the unification of the continent is the behavior of the true king, and the lifelong dream of every force, every politician, and every emperor is to unify the King Continent.
The meaning of moving the capital to Atlantis this time actually includes: My empire will bury its roots in the King Continent, so the King Continent will be the place where the power of my big empire will take root, this kind of ethereal meaning seems to have no impact, but in fact, Sun Lin and the ministers who agreed to move the capital this time both believe that as long as the capital is moved, there will be an unprecedented "great integration" between the empire and the people of the empire.
At this point, it has to be said that the reason why Sun Lin was able to conquer more than a dozen human races and several alien races with a total number of people who would reach 5 times or even more than the total population of the Sunset Empire by virtue of the fact that he occupied less than one-fifth of the empire's population.
To put it simply, the utopian power of the Empire on which the sun never sets can become what it is today, 4 percent of its cohesion comes from Sun Lin's own fame, 4 percent comes from the empire's invincible millions of heroes, and only 2 layers come from the policy of the empire on which the sun never sets.
Then Sun Lin's worry comes, if one day he is gone, or his million-strong army is no longer invincible, then what will be the outcome of the Sun Never Set Empire, a behemoth that he has built single-handedly? Sun Lin believed that if he didn't pay attention to it, then he would be Alexander from another world, and his empire would only collapse faster than the Alexander Empire established by Alexander the Great.
This is the reason why Sun Lin moved the capital, because Sun Lin now wants to put the people's aspirations in the hands of the empire, so that everyone in the empire will recognize the empire and be proud of being a citizen of the empire, instead of letting these people think that the empire is a child under Sun Lin's protection, Sun Lin wants his empire to last for thousands of years, ten thousand years, and not collapse after he leaves.
Because of this, Sun Lin urgently needs to move the capital, because he needs to make his empire rightfully become the imperial power of the king continent, only in this way can Sun Lin have a way to start from all aspects, and thus start a comprehensive reform of the empire, Sun Lin knows that there is not much time left for the empire to recuperate, and the contract that seems to be able to guarantee peace between the empire and the griffin and the divine light for 10 years is actually like a piece of waste paper, as long as the time is right, it will be torn to pieces.
