"It's so beautiful! I really want to drive these battleships out immediately! This time, we won't have to take the long route, and we won't have to hide from Delman's battleships. We'll just kill our way through! "Isabella said loudly." We'll definitely be faster than before. "
"You'll also be able to transport more than before." The port officer pointed at the huge cargo ship that blocked their view and said, "Wait for another two days. There will be two more such cargo ships in the water. His Majesty's orders are to use all of them for long-distance voyages! "
"We're going to bring gold to the south?" Isabella, who couldn't wait any longer, turned around and looked at the port officer. "I think we can just rob them this time."
"No, we're only going to bring some gold this time. We're going to bring all kinds of products for the remaining cabins. In short, we're going to carry everything that's popular to the Elven Kingdom," the port officer replied with a smile. "Then, we'll only buy what we need and bring it back."
"If they dare to raise the price again, we'll bring it back." Isabella looked at the opened cannons on the new battleships and the black cannons that poked out from the cannons with an expectant look on her face.
"Then we'll be able to save money, won't we?" Hearing Isabella's words, the port officer smiled.
Although the sea route was a strategic resource transportation route that was very important, King Gravel could only let his naval officers and soldiers sail the wind-powered sailboats in battle. It wasn't that his technology wasn't good enough to build steel battleships, but that he really didn't have that many resources to use.
Steel was no longer a scarce resource. It had become a strategically scarce resource that needed to be strictly controlled. Not to mention building battleships for the navy, even equipping the navy with 30 large magic crystal cannons was a difficult task.
After these battleships were equipped with the magic crystal cannons, they would have to be tested in actual combat to see how powerful they were. The Kingdom of Northland wasn't in the mood to test the strength of their navy yet. They were frantically expanding their ground forces.
Actual combat was the best way to test the capabilities of an army. After going through the test of war, the higher-ups of the Kingdom of Northland had realized that they were vulnerable when faced with the attacks of the German Empire's artillery.
Therefore, increasing the proportion of heavy weapons in the army became the top priority of Northland's military reform.
Under this order, all the craftsmen in Northland started producing at full speed, and pushed the Magical Crystal Cannons out of the production workshop one after another.
"If this isn't enough to conquer the German Empire, then let's see how far those damn bastards from the German Empire are going to expand this war," King Gravel said thoughtfully as he pulled on the reins of his warhorse.
At this moment, in the wilderness of Northland, a giant steel beast let out a long cry. The airship was carrying two full ships of supplies, as well as sea salt and other industrial products from Byron Bay. As it flew over the wilderness, the civilians below stopped working and looked curiously at this scene that they had never seen before.
"That thing is called an airship. It's so fast that it's scary." A farmer waved the hoe in his hand, showing off his extensive knowledge to his fellow countrymen.
In fact, he didn't know why the airship was moving, nor did he know how many goods were in it. However, in terms of size, this thing called an airship was already a very shocking new thing.
This airship only took half a day to travel from Byron Bay to Gorgon.
"It's so big! It's so loud, it must be able to transport a lot of things. "Hearing the farmer beside him showing off, the ordinary farmer nodded and praised.
"That's right. I heard that with this thing, we only need a day to go to Gorgon in the future!" The farmer who was the first to show off said without looking up.
"This year's harvest is much better than last year's … I heard that the price of food has risen again?" The farmers who no longer cared about the airship started to talk about issues that they were more concerned about. Anyway, for them, no matter how fast the airship was, it was not as good as the price of food.
Food was the foundation of a country. Now, trade with the Kurut Kingdom was still going on, but without the previous profits, the relationship between the two countries had become a little tense.
King Gravel realized that the other side took the initiative to negotiate for peace to protect the German Empire. If the border between the two countries was not fixed, the war would not end.
With the fighting power of the Kingdom of Northland, as long as they prepared for the winter, they could possibly swallow the entire German Empire in one go next year. However, if the two sides delineated the border, the Kingdom of Northland would have to find another reason to go to war again.
Although the Kingdom of Northland did not find any reason to go to war this time, King Gravel still felt a little embarrassed to start wars again and again for no reason.
King Gravel still had his own awareness. He knew what he was good at and what he was not good at.
"I don't know if Isabella has any decent gains on her side. Allies are really important strategic resources for us." Gravel said worriedly.
This time, Isabella took the route that she had taken before on her journey south. Moreover, it was different from the last time. This time, they were bringing new ships!
King Gravel was full of confidence. Three new sailing warships, three transport ships … I think, with the broken ships of the German Empire, they will not be a threat to Isabella.
But after that, he ordered the official in charge of this project. "No matter what, continue to build more transport ships! Even sailing ships will do! We need resources too much, so we have to buy a lot of them. Even if we can't use them all up, it will still be good! "
"The shipyard at Byron Bay is already building ships at full capacity," the official replied helplessly. "But we lack enough sailors, and we don't have that many unused cannons for the navy."
"We don't need a fully equipped warship. Each warship can only be equipped with four cannons! Just two cannons at the front and back will be enough! The remaining space will be used for transport! It can be considered half a warship during war, and it will be used for transport! "King Gravel directly brought up the concept of armed merchant ships.
King Gravel's idea made everyone's eyes light up. This was indeed a solution that could not be helped.
