Chapter 721
"It's almost autumn..."

Emperor Gefla looked at the midsummer outside the window, but what he thought of was the bleak autumn, and his mentality had changed a little.

In fact, from the later period of the World War, the situation of Gefra was not very good. The military expenditure exceeded half of the country's income, but it did not bring back too many actual benefits through the war.

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

In addition, this war does not end with "victory", it's just that everyone can't fight, and some people surrender before they can't hold on. If they ask too much at the negotiating table, those who are defeated will also turn over the table and continue to fight courage.

It's great. Give up the coastal areas and stick to the inland. If you have the guts to try to land with the Gefra people?
Try and die!

Everyone is determined that the army that Gefra did not have, and the coalition forces will not sacrifice their war potential for the benefit of Gefra.

They can't invade the mainland of other countries, they can't siege cities and lands, and the Armada can only bombard the coastal areas a few times. Apart from causing more losses to themselves, they actually have nothing to do.

So the final peace talks may be full of gunpowder, but in fact everyone has carefully compromised, so that getting Amélia is already an unexpected income.

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

He was like a villain who hid himself with a hood, kidnapped a girl with a weapon in his hand at two o'clock at night under the changing streetlights, pushed the girl into the alley, held the weapon against her neck, finally found the door, only to find himself... 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 too much, but with that naval battle, the only thing Gefla could have was gone, not just him, but the entire Gefla senior management Subtle changes have taken place in mentality.

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 turned his gaze back from outside the hall and put it on the face of the Minister of the Navy.

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

Emperor Gefla did not show the slightest joy because of the Secretary of the Navy's assurance, he just looked at the Secretary of the Navy expressionlessly, "It's better to be like that, otherwise some people will be in trouble."

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

The folks, the nobles, including their ministers and even the royal family, all have grievances, grievances of defeat, grievances of not getting enough benefits, and grievances of shifting the focus of development.

Whoever fails at this point will become the target of accusations 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 give the country an explanation, and this explanation may be a minister of the navy.

No one else in the room spoke as they began to refocus their attention on the huge television, which they were also watching footage of the joint military exercise.

Since some time ago, when Gefra and the Federation's fleet seemed to have a tacit understanding and began to change their defensive formations, other countries have also felt the tense atmosphere, and the entire joint military exercise held has a feeling of being unable to enjoy themselves. .

But everyone is still watching it every day, just wanting to find something usable from some details.

The Gefra people are almost at the bottom of the project with the army's cooperation. This is their worst content. On that day, His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire directly asked the Minister of Army to resign. Fortunately, this is just a way to express his dissatisfaction, not an order.

In the next stage of the Gefra Empire, in addition to speeding up the research and development and refitting of some armaments, the reform of the army is also included in the plan.

They need an army that can knock open the door of the enemy's land with artillery fire for them, an army that can go deep into the hinterland to plunder wealth and take the strategic initiative, not a bunch of waste who only ask the empire for pensions.

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

More importantly, submarines are allowed in this project!
Most countries have sent submarines to participate in this joint military exercise. Submarines are equivalent to strategic weapons for the current international military environment.

Before there is no effective countermeasure, everyone has no way to use this thing, but submarines can cause fatal damage to large ships.

What's more terrible is that the cost of the submarine is relatively cheap, and the construction period is also shorter. As long as it cooperates with a special tugboat, it can only dive when it reaches the sea area of ​​the war zone. It also performs very well in long-distance voyages.

So no matter whether their submarine can meet the parameters of the Federation, they have taken it out, even if the performance is not good enough, or even leaks when submerged, they have taken it out.

Good or bad is one thing, but at least we have, don't get me wrong.

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 Gefra and the Federation was also dominated by submarines, so in fact, the final head-to-head decisive battle is a venue to showcase the performance of submarines from various countries.

With the signal of the general attack, the submarines that were dragged to the designated area began to dive one after another, and nothing was visible on the sea surface in an instant.

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

All those who watched this scene, whether they knew about naval warfare or not, and whether they were members of the military, all took a deep breath.

"Ghost on the sea", this is another name given to this new type of submarine for war after the Federation submarine won the 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 it.

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

No solution!

Several fast-boosting air balloons suddenly rose from Gefra's destroyer, and the military observers immediately discovered this anomaly. They observed or took pictures, as if guessing what the purpose of the observation position was at this time.

Immediately afterwards, the Federal's fast-launching air balloon also flew up, and people were still at a loss.

The emperor of Gefra was sweating from nervous palms at this time, he clenched his fists tightly, his fingernails had been embedded in his palms, and he didn't even feel a trace of blood slowly overflowing.

His gaze, all his attention, was 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 is holding their breath. It depends on this time whether they can change the current pessimistic situation of Gefra.

At this time, in the joint headquarters on the Atlantic Ocean, the commander-in-chief of the Federation also looked at the screen with a relaxed expression on his face.

Although the Federation's performance can't be said to be the best, it has already ranked first in terms of overall strength, followed closely by Gefra.

Not every item of the Federation is very good. On the contrary, apart from getting the first place in beach landing, the Federation often only ranks third and fourth in several other projects and more branch projects.

However, the Federation wins in the average, without obvious shortcomings, and its comprehensive strength has leapt to the first place.

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

At the same time, the only casualty accident in this joint military exercise also happened to Gefra'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 on the beach with heavy loads. One fella was badly injured while jumping a trench...

At that time, Emperor Gefla's blood pressure suddenly rose, and his whole face was flushed. If the court medical officer hadn't discovered it in time, maybe the princes would sing praises.

The ugliness and stupidity of the army caused Gefla's military score to plummet. If their other scores were not too good, Gefla might have fallen out of the top three.

The commander-in-chief of the Federation doesn't think that Gefra can make any waves. As we all know, the Federation's submarine technology is the best, and the torpedo technology is also the best. Possibility of Super Federation Submarines.

Regardless of the specifications and performance of various submarines released by those countries, everyone knows that those figures are probably fake, just like the data released by the Federation itself, without the slightest "official" reliability.

"Can you observe the Gefra people's submarine?" The commander-in-chief was biting a solid color, with a relaxed expression on his face, as if he had already won.

"...Sorry, Commander, we haven't found any trace of them for the time being, and their departure point is too far away from us..."

"It's okay, they won't force us to run faster!", the commander-in-chief said, finding a chair and sitting down with a satisfied face, "We just need to wait..."

But his leisurely attitude didn't last long, and was blocked by an unbelievable scene.

"What the fuck is that?!"
