Extraordinary Sailing

　　 The sudden change of the New World is accidental and inevitable.

　　 Hundreds of years of solitism, and the stimulus of the destruction of the large fleet this time, the choice that Hilius finally made that offends the anger of the people is not too unexpected.

　　 But the current situation is very different from that of dozens or hundreds of years ago.

　　Because of the rapid development of the steam industry, although other countries have no obvious presence in the looting of primitive resources in overseas colonies, it is clear that they have found another path that may be able to overtake in a curve.

　　The power of industrialization is slowly emerging.

　　Especially at this time, the establishment of the secret front against Hilius by the various countries obviously stimulated the accelerated change of Falitis’ internal policies.

　　 The one that has already received much attention has been raised to the level of a certain national strategy, because it not only "predicted" the current international situation, but also proposed corresponding solutions!

　　 Soon after the silver looting incident, a resolution from the Kingdom’s military headquarters was delivered to "Dearborn Fort" via the spirit world messenger.

　　 Then, Irvine and his "Storm Horn" were once again summoned by Lieutenant General Gustav.

　　 Clang! clang! clang! ...

　　 In the continuous bells.

　　 "All gather!"

　　 The location is the large campus of the base, with banners spreading out, and thousands of naval officers and soldiers are neatly organized.

　　 In the eyes of all the soldiers of Fort Dearborn, Ivan and his subordinates accepted the honor of the Lieutenant General!

　　"On behalf of the Navy and Her Majesty the Queen, I read the official letter of appointment:

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

　　 After being appraised by the Ministry of the Army and approved by Her Majesty the Queen, I hereby appoint him as...commodore!

　　 Grant general uniforms, fleet command knives... and the right to act cheaply in all colonies and foreign colonies in the Kingdom’s New World!

　　 Hope to fulfill their duties..."

Snapped--

　　 "Yes! Will live up to the trust of the kingdom and your majesty!"

　　 Avin, who was dressed in a uniform and erect, saluted in awe, and took a step forward from the slightly complicated Lieutenant General to receive the gifts of the kingdom one by one.

　　Especially the golden command knife that represents identity.

　　 This step has crossed the threshold that countless outstanding soldiers of the armed forces cannot cross even when they retire, the transformation from school officer to general!

　　 Although it is only an excessive military rank between a colonel and a major general, the low-level brigadier general is already a general. Salaries, military status, and social status have all been very different.

　　Especially in this world of great controversy, it is enough for him to enter and exit any top social occasions to make people take a high look!

　　 and after being promoted to brigadier general.

It was enough for Aiwen to remove the label of his younger generation of elites and formally intervene in the affairs of the uppermost colony. Standing tall in front of the colonial governors, no one would look at it from the perspective of a young man. he.

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

　　 also gave Aiwen a big surprise.

　　 Even if he had received a reply from the Crown Prince before, Ivan was already mentally prepared for the next arrangements for the kingdom.

　　 But after receiving this official appointment, he still far exceeded his expectations.

　　 The military department rejected Lieutenant General Gustav’s application for the promotion of his colonel, and even directly gave a brigadier general the rank of a skip.

　　 The external reason for promotion was of course not because of the copy submitted by Aiwen.

　　 Because from the previous reply of the Crown Prince, it is obvious that this plan is very likely to become the basis of Falitis's strategy for the next five and ten years, and even the name will only be circulated among a few high-level officials.

　　 Of course it is impossible to publish it.

　　 The reason for using it is very simple and sufficient. The information returned by the front intelligence personnel shows that in the battle of Qianjin Daoshou, a great knight Daos was killed by a wizard's indiscriminate attack!

　　 It was also because of the military's intelligence that Aiwen learned that his first kill of Tier 3 had actually been completed, albeit in an unexpected way.

　　 The military stipulates that he is promoted to the rank of the third-tier great knight guarantee as a brigadier general.

　　 But for military officers with insufficient strength, in addition to making an unquestionable achievement, another way is to kill an enemy knight on the battlefield.

　　 Anyone knows that even a great knight is extremely difficult to kill another great knight, let alone other extraordinary people below Tier 3.

　　 So since the promotion system has been in place, very few non-major knights can be promoted.

　　 Aiwen can also be regarded as a side ball. If it hadn't had that share, the military might really not admit that it would be funny to think about it.

　　 But by this time the process is completely unimportant.

　　 Aiwen has achieved the results he wants most, and finally has reached this point.

　　 From the very beginning, he knew that he wanted to complete the revenge plan, future exploration of the unknown world, and even the expansion of the school. While improving his own strength, he must establish his own power.

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

　　 But the forces will not fall by themselves from the sky.

　　 And on the premise that I am a member of the system.

　　Official forces need to be promoted to a higher position by themselves, but private forces need to manage themselves a little bit.

　　 Although the official document is vague, it has actually quietly named Aiwen’s focus of work from now on:

　　 The last sentence is the real focus, "the right to act cheaply in all colonies and foreign colonies in the New World."

　　 is meaningful!

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

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

　　 The strength of the peak knight plus the official wizard, the proud record after joining the army, the identity of the "Guardian Knight", the recognition of the "Guardian of the Kingdom" Rose Swordsman, including "Song of the Sea Monster" and other contributions...

　　 jointly contributed to Aiwen’s leap in secular power this time!

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

　　 got two other documents from Lieutenant General Gustav, one privateer permit, and the other is the property certificate of the Port of Khatrafa!

　　 This is the Kingdom’s early investment.

　　Private activities serve the national strategy, which is fundamentally different from pirates.

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

　　 The privateer permission that Ivan obtained was to authorize him to establish a trading company covering the entire New World, and to establish privateer fleets and other armed forces.

　　 He served as the commander of the privateer fleet, and he can also be called the official pirate group leader in disguise. In short, he is a violent group of Hongguoguo!

　　 The specific implementation of Hilius was officially handed over to him.

　　 But Aiwen also knew that there was no philanthropist among the senior leaders of the kingdom, and of course he needed more generous rewards to support the kingdom.

　　 The task I took over was very difficult.

　　 Waiting for Aiwen to finish reading the documents in his hand and understand his next mission, the lieutenant sitting opposite still couldn't help but admire:

　　"Besides, the value of the heavy cruiser specially designed to break the battle will be greatly increased!

　　 Inside the kingdom, named by Her Majesty the Queen as the Galliot cruiser, it has already begun experimental construction.

　　 This is a naval honor! "

　　 Lieutenant General Gustaf, as the highest military officer of the New World, certainly knew the main reason for Aven’s promotion this time. All the kingdom’s macro policies required his cooperation.

　　 is also the clearest about Aiwen's deeds, and of course the exclamation in his heart is the most.

　　 In the past few days, he has submitted Aiwen and reviewed it countless times by a group of top scholars in the kingdom.

　　The viewpoints in it make people suddenly enlightened like Daigo.

　　 focused on the analysis of Hilius' current weaknesses, proving that the seemingly invincible Hilius could be pulled off the altar. And respectively put forward targeted weakening plans, indicating three key nodes:

　　 The first step is "Blood Loss Plan".

　　 Based on the premise of the destruction of the large fleet, Hilius is likely to stir the nerves of various countries and cause public anger.

　　 All countries that have interests in the colonies of the New World are united to officially organize large-scale private plundering operations. It is legal for anyone to rob the merchant ship of Hilius and is not a piracy.

　　 Let the wealthy Hilius colony systematically lose blood, and countries are responsible for sucking blood!

　　 The second step is "trade war".

　　 emphasized that the steam industry is a great force that can change the world. It must be industrially inclined and the country must be industrialized.

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

　　 Now we must organize the domestic merchants to take advantage of their own industrial products to participate in the smuggling of the colony of Hilius.

　　 The ultimate goal is to make the silver belonging to Hilius available to the entire Old Continent, share his colonial output, and then support the development of the country’s steam industry and quickly complete the primitive accumulation of capital.

　　 also completely destroyed the already weak handicraft industry in Hilius, continued to expand the gap between rich and poor in Hilius, and deepened social contradictions and class antagonism.

　　 The third step is the "dismemberment plan".

After completing the marriage with the Habsburgs, Hilius, 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 Hilius has a fatal problem... the population is too large. not enough!

　　 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 usual hidden contradictions will burst out.

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

the last point.

　　 Why do you say that now is the best time to implement this plan?

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

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

Even if they can be consistent with the outside world, they will only look like they are divorced, and it is almost impossible to summon angels to descend like the original empire of the New World. Accurate and ruthless.

　　From the aspects of resources, population, finance, trade, and industry, it is like lay down the cow, and put the seemingly invincible Hilius on the cutting board!

　　 Lieutenant General Gustav also knew that the kingdom has always had the ideal of replacing the supremacy of Hilius, but it has always been immersed in development, and no one has ever been able to provide perfect theoretical guidance.

　　 is holding such a plan at this time.

　　 Not only the crown prince Livina, but also the principal of Princeton, Her Majesty the Queen, and the scheming adults of the kingdom, they suddenly became clear when they saw this plan.

　　 I have already believed that Falettis’ ultimate ambitions of reform and self-improvement may be realized in the foreseeable future!

　　According to this plan, at the current rate of development of the steam industry, it may not take ten years before the power of these plans will be truly revealed.

　　 When all of the above is achieved, even if there are more warships in Hilius, no matter how strong the titled knight is, it will be a big defeat at the level of national competition.

When countries such as 　　 are hit in many ways, and when the mainland produces chaos and loses control, the large overseas colonies will first become chaotic, or become independent or be acquired by other countries.

of course.

　　 If Falettis wants to truly replace Hilius, one or even a few tough battles are absolutely indispensable.

　　 Although force cannot completely determine the victory or defeat of the great power game, it is the final decision whether to flip the card table.

　　The rise of another superpower requires blood and fire to build!

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