Chapter 65: The Flames of Fire (2)(2/2)

In the official good news released by the Empire, each sunken and captured warship of the Flemann Navy was listed in detail, but the losses of the Royal Navy were very secretive.

Since the main naval battle form in the Far East waters is traversing war, the main ships of the Royal Navy and the Fleman Navy are also sailboats and super-large galloping boats, victory is often achieved by killing all the sailors of another ship, which is very tragic.

According to the Royal Navy's post-war patrol situation, the Venetta Navy internally judged that the Imperial Royal Navy had lost at least half of its combat power, otherwise it would not have stopped in Rhode Island.

But that was already six years ago. It was the top priority for the Venetta Navy to figure out the current scale of the Royal Navy - more importantly, to figure out the future scale of the Royal Navy.

The Imperial Navy will definitely guard against any information that the Venetta Navy wants. Therefore, so far, the Venetta Maritime Commission's investigation of the Imperial Navy's shipbuilding plan is like a blind man touching an elephant.

At this moment, this "logging permit statistics" that took a different approach in the Army's confidential archives room actually made Vetor Pisani's eyes lit up.

With the destruction of the kingdoms in the north, all the treasures of the vast primeval forests on the southern coast of the narrow sea fell into the palm of the empire.

According to the Army's intelligence, the Imperial Northern Governor's Office has issued at least 60,000 oak trees over the past two years to "fill the timber reserves of the Royal Shipyard."

Another order copied in the archives showed that the Navy Minister of the pseudo-Emperor had approved the request of the First Royal Shipyard to "use wood that was not completely dried as appropriate" to meet "his Majesty's progress requirements."

Vetor had no doubt that those towering oak and needle wood would eventually become warships of the pseudo-Emperor.

Just a rough conversion is needed: the flagship Glory of the Inner Sea Fleet uses about 1,200 hundred-year-old Paratu oaks; the logging of 60,000 timbered oaks means that at least fifty Glory-level warships will eventually be launched.

Moreover, the materials used by the Glory are far beyond conventional warships. If the warships are built with hardwood and softwood, the 60,000 oak trees will eventually produce more than fifty warships.

What's more, judging from the description on the second page, the Army counts the logging permit from bottom to top, rather than top to bottom. The actual logging permits issued will definitely exceed the number calculated by the Army.

After the fall of the kingdoms on the southern coast of the narrow sea, the "heteroded kingdoms" on the northern coast of the narrow sea also bowed their heads to the pseudo-emperor, which means that the empire could also obtain high-quality wood from the north of the narrow sea.

The scale of the Royal Navy's shipbuilding plan will be even more terrifying than the boldest imagination.

Vetor Pisani cleared his throat and handed the files in his hand to Admiral Dandoro.

"Your Excellency." Vetor said calmly without showing any tension as much as possible: "You need to look at this."

Admiral Dandoro took the file silently.

Vetor took over the documents from the admiral, as if he was just exchanging reading.

He glanced at the newly obtained army files, and the description on the second page was incredible: the top secret memorandum on the "Empire Future Foreign Policy" submitted to the emperor by the Imperial Foreign Minister Balek de Champani at the request of the pseudo-emperor.

Vetor read the memorandum manuscript obtained by the Army in one glance.

"[Old language] politics and trade mean that the Flemen (Saraxeners) are natural ally of the Senes Alliance." Champany wrote: "[Old language] The Senes Alliance is on the edge of the continent, and it is easier to obtain benefits from the periphery of the continent. Therefore, the friendship between the Senes Alliance and the Flemen is predictable. The Empire must return to its traditional policy of curbing the Saraceners westward and dividing the two narrow lands. When the future war between the Empire and the Senes Alliance again, it is necessary to ensure that the princes of the Broken Land become allies of the Empire..."

"Cliparted." Vetor curled his lips and thought to himself: "Nothing new."

He closed the cover again and put the top secret documents in his hand back into the archive box.

At the same time, Martino Dandolo also read the statistical report submitted by Vetor.

The Admiral took off his glasses, pondered for a moment, looked at Carlo Zio in front of him with his still bright eyes, and asked hoarsely: "So, let's look at these, why?"
