Extraordinary Sailing

The sudden changes in the New World are both accidental and inevitable.

With hundreds of years of self-importance, coupled with the stimulation of the destruction of the large fleet this time, it is not too unexpected for Sirius to finally make such a move that offends the public.

But the current situation is quite different from what it was dozens or hundreds of years ago.

Because of the rapid development of the steam industry, although the presence of other countries in the plundering of primitive resources in overseas colonies is not obvious, they have obviously found another path that may achieve corner overtaking.

The power of industrialization is slowly emerging.

Especially at this time, the countries' secret front against Silius obviously stimulated the accelerated change of Phalatis' internal policies.

The "Overlord Disqualification Plan", which has already attracted much attention, has been elevated to a certain level of national strategy, because it not only "predicts" the current international situation, but also proposes corresponding solutions!

Not long after the silver looting incident, a resolution from the Kingdom's military headquarters was delivered to "Fort Dirben" as quickly as possible via a messenger from the spiritual world.

Later, Ivan and his "Storm Horn" were once again summoned by Lieutenant General Gustav.

clang! clang! clang!

In the continuous ringing of bells.

"All gather!"

The location is the large campus of the base, with flags flying and thousands of naval officers and soldiers in good order.

In the attention of all the soldiers of "Fort Dirben", Aiwen and his subordinates accepted the award from His Excellency the Lieutenant General!

"On behalf of the Admiralty and Her Majesty, I read the formal commission:

Since Lieutenant Colonel Alvin Garriott joined the army, he has been loyal, brave and has made outstanding achievements.

After being evaluated by the military department and approved by Her Majesty the Queen, he is hereby appointed Commodore of the Navy!

Grant general uniforms, fleet commander's swords, and cheap access to all colonies and foreign colonies in the new land of the kingdom!

Hope to do my duty”

Snapped--

"Obey! I will live up to the trust of the kingdom and His Majesty!"

Aiwen, who was dressed in military uniform, saluted solemnly, and stepped forward to receive the kingdom's gift from the lieutenant general with a slightly complicated expression.

Especially the gold-plated command knife that represents identity.

This step has crossed the threshold that countless outstanding soldiers of the martial arts faction cannot cross even after retiring, the transformation from a school officer to a general!

Although it is only an excessive military rank between colonel and major general, no matter how low a brigadier general is, he is already a general. Salary, military status, and social status are all very different.

Especially in this world of great controversy, it is enough to make him look high at any top social occasion!

And after being promoted to Brigadier General.

For Aiwen, it is enough to take off the label of his younger generation elite, officially intervene in the top-level colonial affairs, and stand upright in front of the governors of the colonies, and no one will look at it from the perspective of a young man. he.

This is probably the original intention of the Kingdom to make this decision.

It also gave Ivan a big surprise.

Even if he has received a reply from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before, Ivan is already psychologically prepared for the kingdom's next arrangement.

But receiving this official appointment was still far beyond his expectations.

The military department rejected Lieutenant General Gustav's application for promotion to colonel, and even directly gave him the rank of brigadier general, a leapfrogging.

The external reason for the promotion is certainly not because of the "Overlord Disqualification Plan" submitted by Ivan.

Because judging from the previous reply from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it is clear that this plan is very likely to become the foundation of Phalatis' strategy formulation for the next five or ten years, and even the name will only be circulated among a few high-level officials.

Of course it is impossible to publish it.

It's just that the reason for using it is very simple and sufficient. The information sent back by the intelligence personnel in front shows that during the battle on Qianjin Island, a great knight Daos was killed by the wizard's indiscriminate attack!

It was also because of the intelligence from the military that Aiwen learned that his first kill of Tier 3 had been completed, although it was in an unexpected way.

The military stipulates that the guaranteed rank for promotion to the third-tier great knight is brigadier general.

But for the officers of the fighting faction who are not strong enough, in addition to making undoubted great achievements, another way is to kill a great knight of the enemy country on the battlefield.

But anyone knew that even a great knight would find it extremely difficult to kill another great knight, let alone other extraordinary people below the third rank.

Therefore, since this promotion system was established, there have been very few non-big knights who can be promoted through it.

Ai Wen can be regarded as playing a side ball. If there is no "Overlord Disqualification Plan", the military department may not really admit the result that is a bit ridiculous to think about.

But by this point the process is completely irrelevant.

Aiwen has already achieved the result he wanted most, and he has finally come to this point.

From the beginning of joining the navy, he knew that in order to complete the revenge plan, explore the unknown world in the future, and even expand the school, he must build his own power while improving his own strength.

Even in an extraordinary world, the power of a team cannot be ignored.

But forces don't fall from the sky by themselves.

And on the premise that he himself is a member of the system.

The official power needs to be promoted to a higher position, but the private power needs to be run a little bit by itself.

Although the official document was ambiguous, it has actually quietly named Aiwen's future focus of work:

That last sentence is the real point "the right to do things cheaply in all the colonies of the New World and foreign colonies".

Meaningful!

This means that Aiwen can borrow the kingdom's military, political, and financial resources as a brigadier general to do everything that he thinks is beneficial to the kingdom and the "Overlord Disqualification Plan"!

This is an affirmation of his ability, and of course, trust in him.

The strength of his own peak knight and official wizard, the proud record after joining the army, the status of "Guardian Knight", the recognition of "Guardian of the Kingdom" Rose Sword Master, and the foreshadowing of a series of contributions including "Song of the Siren"

Together, they contributed to Aiwen's leap in secular power this time!

After the award ceremony for all personnel was over, Ivan returned to the commander's office in the bastion.

I got two other documents from Lieutenant General Gustav, one is a privateer license, and the other is a certificate of title to Hatrafa Port!

This is the kingdom's initial investment.

Privateering activities serve the national strategy, which is fundamentally different from piracy.

The license issued by the Kingdom to private captains is like a contract, controlling privateering operations, such as only targeting a certain country, attacking only in a certain sea area, and so on.

The privateering license obtained by Aiwen authorized him to establish a trading (privater) company covering the entire New World and establish privateering fleets and other armed forces.

He serves as the commander of the privateer fleet, and he can also be called the official head of the pirate group in disguise. In short, he is a violent group of red fruits!

The "Blood Loss Plan" aimed at Silius was also formally handed over to him to be responsible for the specific implementation.

But Aiwen also knows that there is no philanthropist among the high-level officials of the kingdom, and of course, how much support the kingdom gives to himself will require a richer return.

The task I took on was very difficult.

After Ai Wen read the document in his hand and understood his next task, the lieutenant general sitting opposite couldn't help but admire:

"Besides, the value of the heavy-duty cruiser specially used for breaking battles will be greatly improved!

Inside the kingdom, Her Majesty the Queen personally named the Garriott-type cruiser, and experimental construction has already begun.

This is the supreme honor of a navy! "

Lieutenant General Gustav, as the highest military officer in the New World, of course knew the main reason for Ivan's promotion this time.

The implementation of all the macro policies of the Kingdom requires his cooperation. Therefore, he is the clearest about Aiwen's deeds, and of course has the most sighs in his heart.

In recent days, he has repeatedly read the "Overlord Disqualification Plan" submitted by Ivan and perfected by a group of top scholars in the kingdom countless times.

The viewpoints in it make people suddenly enlightened like enlightenment.

It focuses on analyzing the current weaknesses of Sirius, and proves that the seemingly invincible Sirius may be pulled down from the altar. And put forward targeted weakening plans respectively, specifying three key nodes:

The first step is "blood loss plan".

Based on the premise of the destruction of the large fleet, Sirius is likely to provoke the nerves of all countries and cause public anger (when the proposal was submitted, the "Red Maple" was still at sea).

United with all the countries that have interests in the colonies of the New World, and the officials come forward to organize large-scale private plundering operations. It is legal to admit that it is legal for anyone to rob Cyrus' merchant ships, and it is not an act of piracy.

Let the rich Cyrus colony lose blood systematically, and let this blood nourish the nations!

The second step is "trade war".

Emphasis is placed on the great power of the steam industry that is enough to change the world, and it is necessary to carry out industrial tilt and industrialize the country.

At present, most countries stipulate that the object of colonial trade can only be the mainland of the kingdom, so as to prevent the outflow of benefits to the greatest extent.

Now it is necessary to organize the big merchants in the country to take advantage of their own industrial products and participate in the smuggling of the Cyrus colony.

The ultimate goal is to allow the entire Old Continent to see the silver belonging to Cyrus, share the output of his colonies, and then support the development of the country's steam industry, and quickly complete the primitive accumulation of capital.

It also completely destroyed the already weak handicraft industry in Silius, continued to widen the gap between rich and poor in Silius, and deepened social conflicts and class antagonisms.

The third step is "dismemberment plan".

After completing the marriage with the Habsburg family, Sirius, who is about to become an empire, seems to have a vast land and a vast territory. It took two hundred years to lay down a large territory, but Sirius has a fatal problem: the population is too small!

When it is strong, the conquered country, especially its ruling class, can enjoy the dividends of national development, but when the country is weak, the usually hidden contradictions will erupt.

After completing the first two steps of the plan, the time is ripe to support the independence of the conquered countries. Especially in areas with different religious beliefs, the dual contradictions of economy and belief will definitely speed up this process.

the last point.

Why is now the best time to implement this plan?

Because the internal cause is the basis of the change, the external cause is the condition of the change, and the external cause acts through the internal cause.

At this time, Sirius is also facing a profound change, that is, the dispute between the royal power and the religious power intensified by the crowning of the emperor!

Even if they can be consistent with the outside world, it will only be superficial, and it is almost impossible to summon angels like the first to break through the indigenous empires of the New World.

Aiwen's knowledge beyond the times makes this poisonous plan stable, accurate and ruthless.

From the aspects of resources, population, finance, trade, and industry, he put the seemingly invincible Cyrus on the chopping board like a dingling to solve an ox!

Lieutenant General Gustav also knew that the Kingdom has always had the ideal of replacing Sirius' hegemony, but it has always been immersed in development, and no one has ever been able to come up with perfect theoretical guidance.

Take such a plan at this time.

Not only Rivina, the crown prince, but also the principal of Princeton, Her Majesty the Queen, and the scheming adults in the kingdom suddenly became enlightened after seeing this proposal.

I already believe that Phalatis' ultimate ambition of reforming and self-improving for generations may really be realized in the foreseeable future!

According to this plan, with the current development speed of the steam industry, it may not take ten years for the power of these plans to be truly revealed.

When all of the above are achieved, no matter how many warships Sirius has and how strong the titled knight is, he will have lost a lot in the national competition.

When the country is hit in many ways and the local chaos is out of control, the large overseas colonies themselves will be in chaos first, or become independent or be acquired by other countries.

certainly.

If Phalitis wants to really replace Sirius, one or even a few tough battles are absolutely indispensable.

Although military force cannot completely determine the outcome of the great power game, it is the hole card that ultimately determines whether to overturn the poker table.

The rise of another superpower must require blood and fire to forge!

Even though he is no longer young, but standing at such a historic turning point, Lieutenant General Gustav can't help but feel excited!
