Chapter 772 The Ryan Family (Part 2)
Alfred's remarks against launching the "Aurora" offensive were made from the position of the financial controller, not from the position of a "Gaelic" member.
After hearing the news about the great success of the "Northern Great Turn" operation and the great victory on the northern front, Alfred felt depressed and also a little discouraged.
The complete victory of the "Overlord's Counterattack" allowed the "Queen's Faction" to overwhelm the "Gaelic Faction" in prestige and voice.
Unless something happens, the "Gaelic faction" will have no chance of overpowering the "Queen's faction".
Whether the "Aurora" offensive will be launched or not will not mean much to the "Gaels". Therefore, when considering whether to launch the "Aurora" offensive, Alfred stood in his position - that is, the financial position. Thinking from the manager's point of view.
From the perspective of the financial controller, launching a large-scale offensive now is indeed an irrational approach.
The total strength of the Knights of Michael is 120,000.
Supporting a 120,000-strong army to launch a large-scale foreign offensive is not easy, and it requires countless money and materials.
The country has just ended a large-scale battle, which has consumed a lot of national power. Now it is time to recuperate, recover and accumulate national power.
If we launch an offensive by force, it will be too reluctant based on the current reserves of the national treasury.
Alfred's words were well founded, and even Jacob fell silent, expressing neither support nor opposition.
To be fair, Jacob is very supportive of launching this "Aurora" offensive.
Because this fighter plane is really rare.
If I miss it, I don’t know how long it will take to wait for such a suitable fighter opportunity.
But what Alfred just said is not unreasonable.
The country has just ended a large-scale battle, which consumed a lot of national power.
Launching another large-scale offensive would indeed be a bit too forced.
And Ilsa, who was sitting behind the long table, raised her little fist and smashed it on the long table in front of her:
"How can we just miss such a good opportunity? No! I won't accept it!"
Looking at Ilsa who seemed to be in a mood, Alfred sighed softly.
He opened his mouth and was about to persuade Ilsa some more. Bancro, who had been standing silently since just now, said in a deep voice:
"...If the treasury runs out of money, we can actually go to that family for a loan."
As soon as Bancro's words fell, everyone in the study turned their eyes to Bancro.
Jacob frowned: "That family... Bancro, are you referring to the Wren family?"
"Except for the Wren family,
Which other family on the mainland has the ability to provide loans to a country? Bancro asked in a half-joking tone.
The Wren family - a large family in the Britannia Empire.
It can be regarded as a family that everyone knows and knows about on the mainland.
Compared to the family name, its title might be more famous - [Mainland Giant Businessman].
From its title, we can also see what kind of family the Wren family is.
The business scope of the Wren family covers the entire continent, and even extends to the prairie of the Far East.
Jewelry, clothes, wine, tea...the Wren family's business is spread across various fields.
It is truly a big family that is extremely wealthy. In terms of financial resources, even the treasury of some small countries cannot compare with the treasury of the Renn family.
The financial resources of the Rennes family are enough to support an army of 100,000 people to launch a large-scale foreign offensive that will last for a long time - the financial resources of the Rennes family are so strong.
As soon as Bancro finished speaking, the study immediately became noisy.
Because Bancro's proposal is not unfeasible.
The headquarters of the Wren family is in the west of the Britannia Empire. Because it is within the borders of the Britannia Empire, it has always had a mutually beneficial relationship with the Britannia Empire.
Borrowing money from the Wren family - this has not been done before.
After listening to Bancro's words, Ilsa pondered for a while and nodded:
"Are you borrowing money from the Rennes family? This is indeed a good way..."
However - as soon as Ilsa finished speaking, Alfred frowned and continued:
"But - Your Majesty, this is not a small amount of money. Even if we want to borrow it, the Rennes family may not lend it to us."
Although borrowing money from the Rennes family has not been done before.
But borrowing money from the Wren family to allow the army to launch a large-scale offensive - this had never been tried before.
"That's true..." Ilsa said, "But - who will know if you don't try?"
After saying that, Ilsa turned her eyes to Bancro:
"Bancro, I would like to trouble you to make a trip. The task of negotiating with the Rennes family will be left to you. I really don't want to miss this precious opportunity, so please work hard to facilitate the Rennes family to lend the money. ”
Bancro is the diplomatic chief and military staff officer, and is Ilsa's best talent at negotiating with people.
It would be best to leave this kind of task of negotiating with people to him.
After being called by Ilsa, Bancro bowed calmly:
"Yes. I will set off now, and I will definitely live up to His Majesty's expectations."
…
…
After the celebration banquet and staying in the Muhavitz Fortress for a few days, Mud and Blaise set off to return to Port Lot, preparing to lead the naval fleet back to the Navy Headquarters.
Now that the "Northern Great Turn" operation has ended, there is no need for their two naval fleets to stay in Port Lot anymore, and it is time to return to the Navy Headquarters.
After bidding farewell to Su Cheng and others and returning to Port Lot, Mud and Blaise immediately ordered to set sail and head south to return to the Navy Headquarters.
On the flagship Hyperion, Mud and Blaise toasted and chatted happily while drinking black tea.
For such a brilliant victory over the Holy Hilan Empire, a grand reward meeting will be held.
It's just that I don't know when it will be held. According to the time, the central government should have received the victory report they sent over now.
However, this reward meeting will definitely be held, and it is only a matter of time.
The two of them have made great contributions in this battle, and there must be a place for them in the reward meeting.
When they thought that these two old guys, at such an old age, still had the opportunity to participate in the merit-rewarding meeting, they couldn't help but laugh happily.
However, when the two were drinking tea and chatting happily in the cabin of the flagship, they suddenly remembered the hurried footsteps of the soldiers:
"General! Deputy General! It's bad! A huge storm is ahead!"
"What?!" Mud and Blaise exclaimed, and stood up from their chairs with a "whoosh".
Encountering a big storm at sea is a fatal thing.
The two rushed to the deck one after another.
As soon as they got on the deck, they saw a black shadow appear in the distant sky, and it gradually spread towards them.
It was like a drop of ink dripped on the clear water, and this drop of black ink quickly spread on the originally clear water.
Looking at the approaching dark clouds, Mud and Blaise felt that their blood was almost frozen.
