Chapter 237

    "It''s beautiful! I really want to drive these warships out at once! This time, I won''t go around the long way, I won''t hide from the naval warships of Derman, and I''ll kill them all the way!" Isabella said boldly and loudly: "I''m sure I can get on a lot faster than before."


    "And you will carry more than before." the port officer pointed to the huge cargo ship that had just blocked their sight and said, "two more such cargo ships have been launched in two days. Your Majesty''s order is that they are all used for long-distance sailing!"


    "Still taking gold south?" Isabella, who could not wait, looked back at the port officer and asked, "I think we can grab it directly this time."


    "No, this time we only take part of the gold, and the rest of the cabin. We want to take all kinds of products. In short, we will carry what sells well to the elf kingdom." the officer replied with a smile, "then we only buy what we need to bring back."


    "If they dare to sit on the ground again," Isabella looked forward to looking at the opened gun windows on the new warships and the dark muzzle sticking out of the gun windows.


    "Then we''ll save money, won''t we?" the port officer smiled when Isabella said so.


    Although the sea route is a transportation route of strategic resources, it is very important, but king grawell still can only let his Navy officers fight with wind powered sailboats. It''s not that his technology can''t reach the level of manufacturing steel warships, but that he really doesn''t have so many resources to use.


    Steel has now changed from a resource that is not scarce to a strategic scarce resource that needs to be strictly controlled. Not to mention making countless steel consuming warships for the Navy, even equipping the Navy with those 30 large magic crystal guns is an arduous task.


    After these warships are equipped with magic crystal guns, how powerful they are needs to be tested in actual combat. Now the Northland Kingdom has no intention to test the power of the Navy. They are frantically expanding their ground forces.


    Actual combat is the best means to test the troops. After the test of the war, the high level of the Northland Kingdom has realized that it is fragile in the face of the artillery attack of the German imperial army.


    Therefore, increasing the proportion of heavy weapons has become the top priority of Northland''s military reform.


    Under this order, all the craftsmen in Northland were producing at full power and pushed out of the production workshop one magic crystal gun after another.


    "If these can''t conquer the Norman Empire, let''s see how far the damn guys of the Norman Empire want to expand the war," said King Gladwell thoughtfully, pulling the reins of his war horse.


    At this moment, in the wilderness of northland, a giant steel beast uttered a long cry. The airship, carrying two ships of supplies, as well as sea salt and other industrial products produced in Byron Bay, flew over the wilderness, making the civilians below stop their work and look at the unprecedented scene with curious eyes.


    "It''s called an airship, and its speed is frightening." a farmer waved his hoe and showed off his extensive knowledge to his fellow countrymen.


    In fact, he didn''t know why the airship moved or how much cargo it contained. However, in terms of volume, this thing called airship is already a very shocking new thing.


    The airship takes only half a day from Byron Bay to gorgaron.


    "It''s really big! Its cry is so loud. It must be able to carry a lot of things." when hearing the farmers around showing off, the ordinary farmer nodded and exclaimed.


    "That''s not true. I heard that with this thing, it will only take us one day to go to gorgaron!" said the first farmer who bowed his head and continued to work without raising his head.


    "This year''s harvest is much better than last year... I heard that grain prices have risen again?" farmers who no longer care about airships talked about their more concerned problems. Anyway, for them, no matter how fast and powerful the airship is, it is not as encouraging as the rise in food prices.


    Food is the foundation of a country. Now the trade with kurut kingdom is still going on, but there is no previous profit, and the relationship between the two countries has become a little tense.


    King Gladwell realized that the other side''s initiative to make peace was not to protect the Norman Empire - the war would not end if the boundaries of the two countries were not fixed.


    With the fighting capacity of the Northland Kingdom, as long as we make preparations and wait for a winter, it is possible to annex the whole German Empire in one breath next year. However, if the two sides delimit the border, there will be another war, and the kingdom of Northland will find a reason for another war.


    Although the kingdom of Northland did not find any excuse for this war, King Gladwell still felt a little sorry for his face after another unprovoked war.


    King Gladwell still had his own consciousness. He knows what he is good at and what he is not good at.


    "I don''t know if Isabella has any decent harvest. Allies are really very important strategic resources for us." Gladwell asked himself with some worry.


    This time, Isabella took the same route. And different from the last time, they brought new ships this time!


    King Gladwell was full of confidence. Three new sailing ships, three transport ships... I don''t think Isabella can be threatened by the rotten ships of the German Empire.


    However, he then opened his mouth to the official in charge of this and ordered: "anyway, continue to build more transport ships! Even sailboats! We need resources too much, so we must purchase a lot of resources, even if we can''t use up the reserves, it''s good!"


    "The dock in Byron Bay has been trying its best to build ships." the official replied reluctantly, "but we don''t have enough sailors and so many idle cannons for the Navy."


    "There is no need for fully equipped warships. A warship is only equipped with four guns! Just two guns at the front and back! The remaining space is used for transportation! It is half a warship when participating in the war and usually runs for transportation!" King Gladwell directly took out the concept of armed merchant ships.


    King Gladwell''s idea brightened everyone''s eyes. There was really no way.
