Honor is reputation that can summon warriors, wealth is weapons that can arm warriors.
The Governor of Port Burnie just didn’t want to waste too much wealth on maintaining an army with too many numbers.
But this does not mean that his reserve military strength is weak. When fighting is really needed, he has the ability to form a militia in a short time.
This is the power of orthodoxy and wealth. What endorses the military expansion agreement is not only the prestige of the governor, but also the imperial system.
Zhou Weide watched helplessly as one merchant ship after another was requisitioned, and batches of sailors carrying muskets and artillery boarded the ship for training.
Merchant ships of this era can become combat ships, even if their gun positions, hull thickness, bow collision angle and other combat performance cannot be compared with professional sail warships.
But they can also provide artillery shooting platforms and boarding battle space. Some small and flexible ships can also be used as reconnaissance ships.
Sail battleships were mixed among the commercial ships. Ordinary people who were sailors and fishermen a few days ago were transformed into sailors about to go to sea.
"Three sail warships, twelve commercial ships, more than twenty medium-sized shallow-bottomed fishing boats, thousands of militiamen, plus offshore island operations.
Where is this? To attack the cult organization, we are obviously going to launch a small-scale island landing war."
The Governor's Office attaches more importance to the Blood Red Church than is normal. Whenever so many militiamen successfully land on the island, the Blood Red Church's Ordinary members had no chance of survival.
Due to the slow rate of fire and short effective shooting range of flintlock muskets, the brutality of landing battles in this era was limited.
Under normal circumstances, faced with the firepower coverage of ship-based artillery, it is difficult for ordinary underground forces to organize effective resistance.
Therefore, Blackhand Barry led fifteen murloc subordinates to abandon the island, preparing to rely on racial superiority to fight against the governor's fleet in the sea.
"Governor Bell, he really thinks highly of us.
When we ruled Beicheng District, we only had more than 300 gunmen, and he actually sent a fleet to attack us."
p>
Blackhand Barry didn't know that the attention he received was related to three people.
One is Zhou Weide, the second is Warren, the accountant of the Skeleton Gang, and the third is Baron Bell, the governor of Burnie Port.
Zhou Weide left letters about the spirit world, and accountant Warren provided the governor with letters and the route for the Skeleton Gang to transport sacrifices.
Baron Bell, the initiator of the battle, was not angry at the Black Hand Barry for carrying out bloody sacrifices in his territory.
What makes him angry is that Black Hand Barry is obviously his hound. Now that the hound has found a new profit point, it doesn't even report to him, the owner.
In other words, Baron Bell is preparing to collect extraordinary taxes. If Barry dares to sacrifice his subjects to extraordinary people, he mustHe must be given adequate rewards.
Of course, the cold and greedy Baron Bell is still very cautious.
Fearing that he would be assassinated by supernatural powers, he handed over the battle command to the guard generals and then took his family to the nearby city of Salo.
In this way, even if the Black Hand Barry wanted to threaten Baron Bell, he could not.
Now even if he can destroy Baron Bell's fleet, Baron Bell can still seek help from the Imperial Navy.
This is the inherent shortcoming of the underground forces. Their fighting potential will never be able to compete with the national forces where order still exists.
"A haphazardly assembled fleet faced off against a ragtag underground force.
With extraordinary beings on one side and battleships on the other, this is really a relatively fair battle."

Zhou Weide watched the fleet set sail, and then returned to his underground lounge.
After many days of exploration, his mathematical model has made considerable progress, and the white mist star in the dream world is gradually losing its mystery.
"The 65th exploration operation has begun, the biaxial perception is normal, and the midpoint area is basically determined."
Among the dream stars filled with white mist, Zhou Weide kept pushing forward with his hands. Activity.
The invisible and intangible obstacles are being drawn into specific shapes under his pain feedback.
At this time, his brain turned into a data drawing calculator, splicing the length and width of each obstacle to form a building plan.
The formed area was too ordinary, making it impossible for him to locate what the buildings in the white mist were.
However, there may be new progress today, because he has entered the midpoint of the white mist and sensed different characteristics here.
He slid the wall with both hands, and what he felt was not the pain of continuous stabs, but a continuous and stable pain.
This means that the friction on the surface of the obstacle has been greatly reduced, and there should be a large area of glass wall or tile wall.
"The smooth area is very large, and there are steps at the foot. It should not be an ordinary residential building, but most likely a shopping mall or office building."
Zhou Weide kept estimating the length of the unknown building, and Add new building models in your mind.
As the progress progressed, the architectural drawing gradually took on characteristics. Its basic form was an ordinary building surrounded by a shopping mall-like building.
Although this feature is very common, he still caught the abnormality from this feature.
Because the planning between the ordinary buildings and the central building is so neat, it seems that there is no need to consider street traffic and other building groups.
"Is it Weida Technology Park? I remember the road layout there, butLet’s try parameter comparison. "
Zhou Weide left the central building and kept adjusting the route. It didn't take long before he was on a road without obstacles.
He adjusted his mind according to the road map of the park. Using the data model in the project, it was finally determined that the area shrouded in the fog of confusion was the Weida Technology Park.
He remembered that after graduating from college, he first applied for a job in this park, and it was also in this park that he resigned for the first time. .
When he was applying for a job, he looked at the office building in the center of the park with confusion, and when he left his job, he looked back at the office building in the center of the park with the same confusion.
"There are countless roads to take in the fog. See clearly." There are only a few roads that can be taken in the future. "
When Zhou Weide determined the area he was in, the thick white fog in front of him seemed to be diluted a lot. In the hazy white fog, he saw crisscrossing straight roads.
At the intersection of the roads is a hollow metal earth and star sculpture, and there is also a line of metal characters on the base: "Technology leads, dreams set sail"
"It is indeed the dream that sets sail, but the dream ship is a little bumpy." , and a tired person will be knocked down if he is not careful. "
Looking at the buildings in front of him, Zhou Weide recalled the reason why he was confused in the first place. It was not because there were too many roads and he was confused, but because there were too few roads.
At that time There is not much he can do, he can only wait for the interrogation of one 'judge', if he fails, he will continue to survive, if he fails, he will be interrogated again.
"Did I feel lost at that time? No, everyone. This is how they all came about; there are still some. I can’t represent everyone, and you can’t represent me.
I have integrated into everyone's rhythm, but I don't agree with this rhythm. If I come and leave confused, I will be lost. ”
