Macho Wars

In terms of identity, no one here can be more noble than these two. Princess Alicia does not need to say that Howard is Grand Duke Barano, the emperor’s distant cousin and eldest brother, and the current queen Susan Barano’s brother. , Alicia's uncle.

The debut of these two people soon became the focus of much attention.Most of the guests here came for them, wanting to have a few words with them, dreaming of being able to establish a relationship with the royal family.

Alicia has long been accustomed to this, always holding an elegant and decent smile, but her wandering eyes are always looking for someone around.

At this time, the Countess of Sispano, with his son Andrew, came to Alicia to say hello.

Alicia is no stranger to this tall lanky countess, because the other party is the best friend of her mother, Queen Sophie. The two have known each other as early as middle school, and their personal relationships have been good.

It is said that this countess is the daughter of a large businessman, she has been fascinated by her since she was a child, and she has a good business acumen.

Twenty-five years ago, her father married her to an earl. The man’s family has a long history but later fell into a decline.Many emerging big businessmen would choose to marry such families to gild their homes.

Alicia's mother seemed to like this shrewd but mean woman, and her flattery was very helpful, but Alicia didn't like it at all.

It can be seen that the countess wants to recommend her son to her. This young man named Andrew is indeed very handsome in terms of looks, but Alicia is not very interested in this kind of fresh meat.

At this moment Alicia finally found Dragon not far away, and she was overjoyed. She hurriedly said "disaccompaniment" to the countess who "peddled" her son to herself, and then quickly walked over there. Go.

The poor countess was just put aside in this way, and then watched the princess walk towards the "wild species" she looked down upon.

OMG!Why did the noble princess mix with such an uncultivated kid and smile at him?

In an instant, a strong negative emotion arose in the countess's heart. She glanced at her unwilling son beside her, gently patted the back of his hand, and then cast a bitter look at Dragon not far away. .

My son is the best!Only he deserves to be the orthodox heir of the Sispano family!

On the other side, although Dragon vaguely felt a slight chill in his back, he did not notice the countess who was full of resentment not far away.

In front of all the guests around, Alicia took the initiative to greet Dragon, and smiled and called out her name.Such intimacy is naturally a surprise to those suitors who secretly follow Princess Princess.

Although reports in various newspapers about the war in the Eleventh District more than once described the war friendship between the hero and the princess in ambiguous writing, deliberately creating a fascinating mood, but most nobles, especially Those nobles who had ambitions for the princess did not want to believe the content of the report.

They felt that these things were made up just to fool the ignorant people and make them think that toads could really eat swan meat, but this situation made them collectively surprised.

I said you may not believe it, but the swan took the initiative!

And Dragoon, who was inexplicably pushed to the cusp of the storm, didn't know that after drinking half a glass of champagne, he was already hated by a strong company.

After more than a month of separation, Alicia, who had returned to Port Pandora first, was obviously well recovered, her complexion was much stronger than when she was on Dragon Palace Island before, and the smile on her face returned.

Alicia also told Dragon that the Tarrance princess Karen, who had returned with her, had also recovered, and under her guidance, had given up the idea of ​​committing suicide.The other party is currently recuperating in the second district, and she wants to find an opportunity to thank Dragoon face to face for saving her.

Maybe it's a long-lost reunion, or some other emotional influence, Alicia feels that she is very talkative at this moment, and she talks to Dragon endlessly about her latest month.

And Dragon just listened with a smile, and from time to time expressed a few opinions on a certain issue, neither was in a hurry to show her any conceited talent, nor did she pretend to be a deep pretending to be an iceberg. The ridiculous appearance of a squabble.

Chatting with him is very relaxing.

"Li, are you free lately?"

"Should be there? I'm on vacation now, so I have plenty of time."

"That's great, why don't you take your family to the Royal Summer Resort this weekend! I haven't seen the cute little Irene for a long time, and now I miss her fleshy pink face ."

"Well, then we should respect our lives, and don't mind if the children are too noisy at night."

"How come! I am the child's godmother."

"Puff~! Cough cough cough..." xN

Several nobles who stayed near the princess, pretending to be drinking champagne but actually eavesdropping, were immediately shocked by the explosive news.

This new baron has two things!Not only is the war fierce, but the mouthwork seems to be good.To be able to flicker a princess to serve as a godmother to her child is a great honor that many nobles dare not dream of.

Several eavesdropping nobles quickly wiped the liquor from the corners of their mouths with a handkerchief, and then continued to pretend to watch the scenery casually, hoping to overhear more gossip.

It's a pity that Henry's secretary came at this time. He came to inform Dragon and the princess to let them go to the private reception room of the mansion. The two generals Henry and Howard were waiting for them over there, and they wanted to talk to him.

So Dragon told Tafi to eat and drink here and not to walk around, and he would come back in a while.Then he and Alicia left the garden with the secretary.Their departure aroused the interest of those boring nobles together.

The two followed the secretary to the second floor of the mansion. As soon as Dragon entered the house, they found that not only Henry and Howard, but also General Owen, the commander of the military district, were there. There were many drawings scattered on the small wine table in front of them. paper.

Looking at this posture, Dragon said to himself that these bigwigs were afraid that they were not discussing some major military affairs, and wanted a staff member to help mix and mix, and this called himself.

Henry saw Dragon, smiled and greeted Dragon to the table, then pointed to the drawing in front of him and said.

"It's just right, Li, can you help us see this thing from the perspective of a young man?"

Chapter 224: From Sea to Land

Dragon came to the small wine table, Henry motioned him to look at the drawings on the table first.

Dragon picked up a copy and found that it was actually a design drawing of the ship.This made his expression a little subtle, and then asked Henry in an uncertain tone.

"Sir, we should be the army, right?"

"of course."

"Then why did you grab business with the Navy?"

The army began to build the ship silently, and Dragoon, who felt the atmosphere suddenly showed up, had a vague sense of sight.Fortunately, the commander of the military district Owen took over and explained to him.

"It's not to grab business with the navy, but to cooperate with them. The military department has formally decided to form a professional amphibious force to deal with more and more landing operations in the future. Your kid is good in this regard. He has both offensive and defensive actual combat experience. How else would I call you over."

"So this is the design drawing of the landing ship?"

Dragon picked up the drawing and looked at it carefully, but the more he looked at it, the more familiar it became.

"Isn't it changed directly with Griffin grade?"

"The Naval Design Bureau said that this is beneficial to the shipyard's rapid production. They have built hundreds of them, and the shipyard workers are very skilled."

"With all due respect, generals. The Griffin class is a good transport ship, but that does not mean it is also a qualified amphibious landing ship."

Putting the drawing in his hand on the table and unfolding it, Dragon felt that he had to correct some of the wrong perceptions of these big bosses, so as not to wait for the real coming of war in the future, and then take the lives of many brothers to pay tuition.

"First of all, we must be clear. In the revenge operation we attacked the kingdom, the landing was so smooth because of unexpected surprise attacks. Therefore, we easily won the beachhead and secured the landing field for the follow-up troops. But we didn't. The law guarantees that the enemy can be deceived in every subsequent battle. If the defending army is ready to fight, the main attacking unit will be forced to land against shore fire.

With reference to the most famous and largest Normandy landing on the other side of the earth, the Allied forces had successfully fooled Mustache with the fictional "First Army Group" before the war, making him think that the Allied forces would land in another place, leading to Normandy. The regional defense force is empty.

But even so, allied forces with overwhelming advantages over the navy, land, and air forces, and the first three divisions that rushed to the beach also paid a heavy price on D-day.

The empire is far inferior to the Allied forces during World War II in terms of weapons and equipment, personnel quality, or tactics.If you use a 10,000-ton transport ship with a maximum speed of only 18 knots to carry infantry and tanks to forcibly rush to a tightly guarded beach, I am afraid that it will not become a unilateral massacre!

However, there is no alternative. Since the revolution in self-direction, humans in this world have entered the era of hot weapons only 50 or 60 years.

The empire has been a standard land power for a long time. The army has been busy annexing the small countries next to its door. The navy is mainly used to defend its own coastline and protect the New World waterways.
