0721 Playful

"It's almost autumn..."

Emperor Gaevra looked at the midsummer outside the window, but what he thought of was the bleak autumn, and his mentality had already undergone some changes.

In fact, the situation in Gafra has not been very good since the late World War. Military expenditures exceeded half of the country's income, but it did not get many practical benefits through the war.

The development of military and technology has turned the "fight at home" war game into a war game that affects the whole world. How to fight, how to make profits from war, and how to realize profits are actually quite unfamiliar to everyone.

In addition, this war does not end with "victory". It is just that no one can continue the fight. Some people surrender before they can hold on any longer. If they ask for too much at the negotiation table, the defeated party will also flip the table and continue fighting. courage.

It's great to completely abandon the coastal areas and stick to the inland. Do you have the idea of ​​​​trying to land the Gaevra people?

Try it or die!

Everyone is convinced that Gaevra cannot take advantage of the army, and the coalition will not sacrifice its war potential for Gaevra's interests.

Unable to invade other countries' homelands or capture cities, the Armada could only bombard the coastal areas a few times. Apart from causing more losses to themselves, they actually had no other good solution.

Therefore, the final peace talks may be very explosive, but in fact everyone is very careful to compromise, so that getting Amelia is an unexpected income.

Since that time, the emperor's mentality has undergone subtle changes.

He was like a villain who hid himself with a hood. At two o'clock in the evening, he held a weapon in his hand and kidnapped a girl under the dimming street lights. He pushed the girl into the alley and held the weapon against her. He finally found the door, but found that he was...sick.

The kind that can only sigh "It's useless to have a door"

If there hadn't been a naval battle with the Federation later, his mentality would not have changed much. But with that naval battle, the only thing Gaevra could offer was gone. Not just him, but the entire senior management of Gaevra. The mentality has undergone subtle changes.

People who invade others are most afraid of aggression from others, and they must change the status quo.

"This time...can we get what we want?" He withdrew his gaze from outside the hall and placed it on the face of the Navy Minister.

The latter nodded very reservedly, "Of course, Your Majesty, I promise you."

Emperor Gaevra's face did not show the slightest joy at the Navy Minister's assurance. He just looked at the Navy Minister expressionlessly, "It's better to be like that, otherwise some people will be unlucky."

The Minister of the Navy frowned. He knew that the emperor was talking about him. The pressure in the empire was increasing and he needed a way to release it.

The people, the nobles, including their ministers and even the royal family, all have grievances, grievances about defeat, grievances about not getting enough benefits, and grievances about the shift in the focus of development.

Whoever fails at this point will be the target of criticism from all over the country. The country and the emperor will not make mistakes, and people need a way to vent.

If their plan cannot be completed this time, the emperor and nobles will have to give an explanation to the country, and this explanation may be a navy minister.

No one else in the room spoke. They began to pay attention again to the huge TV. They were also watching the joint military exercises.

Ever since the fleets of Gaevra and the Federation began to change their defense formations in a tacit understanding some time ago, other countries have also felt the tense atmosphere, and the entire joint military exercise has a feeling that they cannot be fully enjoyed...

But everyone is still watching it every day, just because they want to find something useful from some details.

The Gaevra people were almost at the bottom of the list in all projects involving the Army. This was their worst performance. On that day, His Majesty the Emperor directly asked the Minister of Army to resign. Fortunately, this was just a way to express his dissatisfaction, not an order.

In addition to accelerating the research and development and replacement of some armaments in the next stage of the Gaevra Empire, ruthless reforms to the army are also included in the plan.

They need an army that can knock on the enemy's door with artillery fire, an army that can penetrate deep into the hinterland to plunder wealth and take the strategic initiative, not a group of wastes who only ask the empire for pensions.

In order to buy more time and prevent the current international situation from getting out of control, Emperor Gaevra once had a plan called "Race" on his desk, and now is the time to implement the plan.

After several rounds of joint exercises, everyone has a new understanding of each other's military strength, and the next step is the final frontal decisive battle.

The two camps will "confront" a similar number of target ships in the two sea areas. Whoever can sink these target ships in the shortest time will win this project.

What's more, this project allows submarines to participate in battle!

Most countries have sent submarines to participate in this joint military exercise. Submarines are equivalent to strategic weapons for the entire international military environment.

Before there are effective countermeasures, no one can do anything about this thing, but submarines can cause fatal damage to large ships.

What's even more terrible is that the cost of submarines is relatively cheap, and the construction period is shorter. As long as it is cooperated with a special tugboat, it can only dive when it reaches the sea area of ​​​​the war zone. Its performance on long voyages is also very good.

So regardless of whether their submarines could meet the parameters of the Federation, they took them out. Even if the performance was not good enough or even leaked when they dived, they still took them out.

Whether it's good or not is one thing, but at least we have it, so don't take my chances.

This statement is very important. With this thing, it is equivalent to having a talisman. At least no one dares to try to launch an attack through the sea.

In addition, the war that broke out between Gaevra and the Federation was also led by submarines, so in fact, the final head-on battle was a venue to showcase the performance of submarines from various countries.

As the general attack signal was sent out, the submarines that were towed to the designated area began to dive one after another, and nothing was visible on the sea for an instant.

Whether on a warship or an observation ship in the distance, the refraction of light on the sea surface makes it impossible for anyone to see where the submarines are.

Everyone who watched this scene, whether they knew about naval warfare or not, and whether they were from the military or not, took a deep breath.

"Ghost on the Sea", this is the nickname given to this new type of submarine used in warfare after the Federation submarine won its first battle.

As long as it dives into the water, it's like a ghost. You know it's around you, but you just can't see its trace.

Until it gets close to you, then fires a torpedo that blasts you into the sky.

No solution!

Several fast-lifting balloons suddenly rose from Gevra's destroyer. Military observers immediately discovered this anomaly. They observed or took photos, seeming to guess the purpose of placing the observation positions at this time.

Immediately afterwards, the Federals' fast-lifting balloon also took off, but people were still confused.

The emperor of Gefra's palms were already sweating nervously. He clenched his fists tightly, and his fingernails were already embedded in his palms. A trace of blood slowly overflowed and he was unaware of it.

His eyes, all his attention, were completely absorbed by everything on the TV screen.

In addition to him, there are also the Minister of the Navy, the Minister of Defense, and...the Prime Minister. Everyone holds their breath and concentrates. It depends on this time whether they can change the current situation of Gaevra's negative outlook.

At this time, in the joint command headquarters on the Atlantic, the commander-in-chief of the Federation was also looking at the screen with a relaxed look on his face.

Although the Federation's performance cannot be said to be the best, it has ranked first in terms of overall strength, with Gaevra following closely behind.

The Federation is not excellent in every aspect. On the contrary, in addition to taking first place in beach landing, the Federation often only ranks third or fourth in several other projects and more branch projects.

However, the Federation excels in average, has no obvious shortcomings, and ranks first in overall strength.

On the contrary, the Gefra people have performed very well in many projects. They have sailors that all countries in the world want, but they are at the bottom of all water and land projects.

At the same time, the only casualty in this joint military exercise also occurred to Gaevra's army. When they were rushing to land on the beach, dozens of soldiers fell or sprained their feet because they were not good at running with heavy loads on the beach. There was also one Guy fell seriously injured while jumping trench...

At that time, Emperor Gefra's blood pressure suddenly rose and his whole face turned red. If the palace medical officer had not discovered it in time, the princes might have sang praises.

The Army's ugliness and stupidity caused Gavra's military score to plummet. If their other scores weren't so good, Gavra might have fallen out of the top three.

The Commander-in-Chief of the Federation does not think that Gaevra can make any waves. As we all know, the Federation's submarine technology is the best, and its torpedo technology is also the best. Those latecomers simply do not have the ability to develop data to catch up in a short period of time. The possibility of a super-federal submarine.

Regardless of the specifications and performance of various submarines released by those countries, everyone knows that 80% of those numbers are false, just like the data released by the Federation itself, without any "official" reliability.

"Can you observe the Gefra people's submarine?" The commander-in-chief bit a piece of solid color with a relaxed look on his face, as if he already had a chance to win.

"...I'm sorry, Commander, we have found no trace of them yet. Their departure point is too far away from us..."

"It doesn't matter, they won't force us to run faster!" the commander-in-chief said, finding a chair and sitting down with a comfortable look on his face, "We just need to wait..."

But his leisurely mood did not last long before he was stopped by an incredible scene.

"What the fuck is that?!"
