I Will Be The Crowned King

Vol 4 Chapter 5: A war that is about to be lost

The fifth chapter of the body is about to lose the war

"Um?!"

Just as the girl's voice sounded, Anson, who was talking and laughing a second ago, was shocked. Under William's strange gaze, he almost crushed the beer mug in his hand.

Under the gaze of the shrunk and widened pupils, the girl who was casually wearing a top stepped on the heel, holding the tray steadily in her small hand, and jumped towards the two of them.

Anson is a patient, and the patient must be taken care of; Mrs. Bogner said that when a loved one is sick, it must be taken care of, this is what a good girl should do; Lisa is a good girl, so take care of Anson It must be up to Lisa...

"Ugh!!!!"

Looking at the mess and embarrassment on the table, I don't know how to be a good two, and the girl with big eyes is full of grievances:

"Anson has already eaten breakfast, why didn't he tell Lisa?!"

"Ah this..."

Anson's mind went blank.

"This... it should be because little Lisa was sleeping at the time, right?" Noticing that the atmosphere was a little stiff, William Cecil next to him stood up and made a round.

"As an older brother, of course Colonel Ansenbach won't disturb little Lisa when she is still sleeping; not to mention that Lisa must be very tired after taking care of her brother for so many days?"

"Lisa is not tired!" The girl turned her head sharply, staring fiercely at the guy she thought was good a few days ago:

"As long as it's for Anson's business, Lisa is never tired because Lisa is a good girl!"

The corner of William's mouth, who was blocked, pulled out, and was shocked to find that his hands and feet were suddenly cold, and cold sweat unknowingly seeped between his neck and temples.

As a gifted person, he was actually... frightened by such a cute little girl.

"It's not just because of this, it's still very early." An Sen next to him continued to interrupt, trying to confuse things:

"And... it was mainly Colonel William Cecil who invited me to have breakfast with me just now. As a guest, it's really hard to resist."

I? !

William looked at Anson in shock, his expression full of innocence.

"Well...but...but Lisa has already made breakfast for Anson."

Lisa, who was aggrieved, brought the tray to the two of them: "What should I do?"

William, who was threatened to shut up, held his chest slightly, and out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the "patient love breakfast" carefully prepared by the girl, which was freshly cooked. It's freshly baked wholemeal bread that is exactly the same as coal.

Swallowing his saliva, William carefully glanced at An Sen... No matter how much he loves his sister, this level of "food" is probably... eh? !

The young naval officer was stunned to find that the other party not only did not look embarrassed, but even showed some kind of...very pleasant expression.

This... this... this... Could it be that this army colonel, who is younger than himself, has some unique eating habits? Or is it the same with all the royal family's army, they are never afraid of food, and they can live on whatever they eat?

It turns out that it is no wonder that Clovis built his country on the army; although he believes that the navy can also bear hardships and stand hard work, at least in terms of food, it is still inferior to the army brothers!

Holding the coffee that the girl carefully prepared for him, An Sen finally let out a sigh of relief... Well, he really thought too much, how could the lovely Lisa do such a horrible and cruel thing?

Although the instant the coffee was in, his stomach began to peristate violently uncontrollably.

Under the "tacit cooperation" of the two, the aggrieved Lisa finally stabilized her emotions and began to enjoy the canned apples she carried with her in the face of the sea breeze.

William, who was finally relieved, quietly returned to his cabin. When he returned to the dining room, he had two brand-new glasses and a bottle of brown-red rum in his hands.

"Veneto, the most famous specialty of the Principality of Edland, is brewed with caramel juice, so it only takes a year to brew a normal rum of this color, and the worst Veneto takes at least three years."

While showing off, William poured a glass for himself and Anson each: "Although it is very famous, I don't know why the Adeland people never sell it in large quantities. I specially commissioned a friend to bring this bottle back three years ago."

Adland... Anson inadvertently twitched the corners of his mouth, picked up the glass and asked casually, "Do you know Adland's friends?"

"No, you should ask how many Clovis officers have no friends with Adelaine."

William chuckled and said, the brown-red liquid in the wine glass in his hand swaying like blood plasma: "It may be biased to say this, but if there is no Adland fleet, there will be no current Clovis Royal Fleet, after all, the first Royal Fleet of the Royal Fleet. The commander-in-chief is an Adelaide."

"Oh, so what's his name?"

"His name is Carrajo Cecil."

Ansenbach: "..."

"Of course, this was almost two hundred years ago, and the Cecil family is now a pure Clovis." William, who had a mouthful of wine and showed his white teeth, shrugged:

"Just kidding, please don't mind, haha."

Just kidding... Anson forced a smile.

That's right, this William Cecil and Major General Ludwig are really not the same kind of people; the commander-in-chief never bothered to cover up, and even didn't even bother to pretend; this one seems to be full of affinity, but is extremely good at being cold-hearted Come to a "joke" that is extremely lethal to ordinary people, and is completely unaware.

So he changed the subject: "How many days do we have to arrive at Beluga Port?"

"Under normal circumstances, it would only take thirty days at the earliest, but now it's winter..." William suddenly raised his brows:

"I don't have much experience in winter cruises, and I haven't been to Ice Dragon Fjord at this time, but if there is no accident, it should be one-third to two-thirds more than the normal time. Of course, this time, prepare for the departure. It is very sufficient, and there should be no need to stop on the way.”

One-third to two-thirds, that is to say, it will take at least forty to fifty days; Anson continued to ask: "Is there still a stop on the normal route?"

"Yes, most of them will only carry two to three weeks' worth of fresh water and supplies, and go to the Kingdom of Nakhir, one of the three North Sea countries, to dock for supplies, and then head to Beluga Port." William affirmed:

"In fact, this is the process of the general colonial merchant ship. First, it takes Clovis's goods from the North Port, usually cotton textiles, alcohol and sugar, and then arrives in the three countries of the North Sea to sell two-thirds of the goods and fill them with local specialties. , then go to Ice Dragon Fjord, sell the last remaining, and then do it all over again."

"A specialty of the Three Kingdoms of the North Sea?" An Sen was a little curious.

"Mainly salt, rare fish, wood and coal."

Taking a sip of rum, William affirmed: "Although the salt of the North Sea is not cheap, it is still cheaper than the cost of shipping from Clovis. In the colonies, this is the hard currency second only to alcohol and sugar. Gold also holds value.”

"To put it badly, if the Kingdom of Nakhir is not willing to provide a large export trade of salt, it is really not an easy task to build a large colony of tens of thousands of people in the Beluga Harbor in just 50 years. ."

"Oh." Anson raised his eyebrows: "That means the Ice Dragon Fjord colony is maintained by Nakshire's salt trade?"

"I can't say that exactly, it's more like mutual benefit, right?"

William thought for a while, then hesitated for a few seconds before answering: "In return, Clovis also opened the import of low-tariff timber and coal to Nakshire, and even allowed the colony's iron ore to be imported into Nakshire."

"Even in the 95th year of the saint's calendar, when the North Sea Three Kingdoms Fleet besieged Beigang during the Beigang riot, Clovis did not break the trade agreement with Nakhir. Well, although the two sides only confronted each other in the end, there was no real fight. That's it."

Anson's expression did not change. He heard from Sophia about this matter that a battleship was hijacked by rebel sailors at that time, trying to make Beigang independent; it attracted the joint siege of the three North Sea countries and the empire.

It was Draco Wilts, who seemed to be a novelist but was a troublesome third-rate writer who occasionally pretended to be a detective.

Alas, by the way, I seem to have caught a black magic caster wanted criminal related to him. It is said that he is worth a lot of money and can get the title of "Honorary Citizen of Beigang", but he forgot about it.

It seems that I have to find a way to entrust the navy to make a trip for me when I arrive at Beluga Port, or I can pick it up when I return to Beigang next time... An Sen secretly said in his heart a little annoyed.

"So, Clovis and Nakhir Kingdom have a good relationship?"

"Well... it can only be said that these two years are okay, and because of Clovis's low tariff policy, Nakhir has been expanding the army and creating border conflicts in the past two years; Conflict, but it also has a big impact on turbulent trade."

William sighed: "Thanks to them, a large number of refugees from the North Sea flocked to the Ice Dragon Fjord with merchant ships, some stayed there, and some ran out to establish their own colonies... The biggest thing these people have in common It's just restless, and there have been more bandits and pirate gangs in the past two years."

"It doesn't matter if it's just killing people and stealing goods. Anyway, this kind of bug will never be killed. But these guys are too troublesome. They keep provoking the aborigines and causing a lot of trouble to the colonies."

"Although the natives of the New World are primitive, they are not fools. The most important thing is that we will always be a minority compared to them. It is not a smart way to annoy them before the colony grows. But to be honest, whether colonists or adventurers, There are not many smart people." William suddenly felt a little annoyed:

"I talked to my dad about this and he said the Navy's ultimate conclusion is that unless Cloviken sends an army to the colony to fix the problem once and for all, things will just drag on forever until a full colony breaks out. until the crisis."

"But the problem is this kind of mission that is almost exile. How many fools in the Wang Family Army would... ah! I'm sorry, I'm definitely not talking about you!"

William, who finally reacted after all the words were out of his mouth, was messed up, and he danced and apologized sincerely: "Just, I didn't hold back for a while, and the result..."

"It doesn't matter, you are an honest and good person, I won't blame you." An Sen smiled without changing his face.

Well, he finally knew now what Archbishop Luther Franz insisted on sending him to the colony.

Not only the empire's blockade plan, but also the war refugees of the three North Sea countries and the increase in the speed of colonial expansion, the hostility of the entire New World to Clovis began to skyrocket.

Especially after the start of the war against the empire, contradictory plans may have skyrocketed with the intensity of the war.

This is not incomprehensible and simple. The Clovis people went all the way to the New World to build a colony, not to build a new home hand in hand with the local indigenous people, but purely to covet their resources.

Large-scale fishing grounds, hunting grounds, minerals, timber, cash crops, and even population... In peacetime, everyone can barely benefit from each other, leaving a little bit of leftovers for the locals while eating meat to help them enjoy the material conditions of a more developed society .

But once the war begins, the country that loses a lot of blood must be supplemented by foreigners~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Drain the wealth of the colony at any cost. Even if this is not Clovis's original intention, the thirst for wealth will definitely evolve into Unscrupulous seizure.

Therefore Ansenbach's task is very simple to sweep the natives and suppress the rebellion.

He must integrate the entire Ice Dragon Fjord as quickly as possible, and then extend outward to control those independent or semi-independent autonomous colonies, resist the attacks of the natives, and beware of possible blockades from the empire; let the supplies continue to flow Constantly flowing to the mainland, supporting the war against the empire.

Of course, it is not easy to do this, at least not as easy as it was in Hantu.

This point has been made clear by William Cecil's words just now. There are not many Clovis people in the New World, and the local indigenous people are the real absolute majority; simple suppression cannot solve the problem at all, because there are too many enemies. The light that could kill.

Anson can even make a bold guess. Before, the local private soldiers or colonists in the colony may have organized repression countless times, and used violence to contain all kinds of contradictions and disturbances, which made the entire colony seem so peaceful in the past few decades.

In other words, if you bring your troops to the ground and start suppressing immediately, not only will you not be able to solve the problem, but it will even intensify the conflict more quickly, causing the furnace that is about to blow up to be detonated in advance.

However, if violence is not used, enough wealth cannot be extracted to sustain the war between empires; colonies that have endured years of oppression are unlikely to be easily persuaded by words, allowing them to continue to enjoy the high-intensity blessings of the colonists.

This is what Luther Franz said, the war that is about to be lost!
