Alien Empire Total War - Chapter 278
Since the Empire officially took over the port of Atona in early March, the Imperial Fleet has also established a naval base here, and based on the original Danse Republic naval base, it has been expanded to ensure that it can accommodate the First Fleet’s naval base. More than fifty warships.
I forgot to mention that after the victory of the Second Prodden Sea Battle, the second-class flagship and ten medium-sized warships of the captured Enkland warships were incorporated into the combat sequence of the First Fleet after repairs. Let the number of the First Fleet break through the fifty mark.
And Vitalig’s flagship has also moved from the original fourth-level flagship to the second-level flagship named after him. Although this flagship is larger and has a bigger target, it is also safe enough and has powerful firepower. It is undoubtedly a very suitable ship as a naval commander.
The arrival of the Imperial Navy caused a big wave in the waters around Port Atona. The pirates who were active in this sea area felt that things were a bit big. Although they have been able to encircle and suppress the navies of surrounding countries in the past They survived, but they also know very well that the strength of the official navy is not to be underestimated.
Not only that, the reputation of the Imperial Army is still too great, so big that even the pirates who are active in the ocean are afraid. Although the Imperial Navy was reorganized recently, they still dare not underestimate the Imperial Navy-they But it can destroy the fleet of an old naval power in one battle after the reorganization!
The one who reacted the most was the former Enkelan navy who fled here not long ago and became a new pirate. After they heard that the empire’s power had also expanded here, they only felt that a large group of grass and mud horses rushed past their hearts. The imperial people are really haunted. ! They are everywhere!
However, this group of Enkelans are still not narcissistic enough to think that the imperial people are here to hunt down and kill themselves. They are also very clear that they think that they have not yet let the imperial people achieve this level, but at the same time, they also do Well, get ready to run away again, the empire’s forces will definitely not be reconciled after expanding here, and they will have the next step of expansion.
Judging from the move of the Imperial Navy to set up the base here, their expansion is likely to be in the ocean, and these pirates in the waters around Port Atona will naturally become the next target of their expansion.
Thinking of this, not only the Enkelans who had just escaped here, but many smart pirates also made preparations to run away.
What happened next also proved that their preparations in advance were correct.
Not long after the imperial forces gained a firm foothold in Port Atona, the Imperial Navy finally took action. They announced a plan for “freedom of navigation” against pirates, announcing that they would clear the waters around Port Atona. pirate gang.
After the plan was announced, the whole port of Atona was discussing this matter. Along with this matter, the citizens were talking about the treatment of the homeless by the concession government and the registration policy for laborers in the port area.
“There is no doubt that the Imperial Concession Government is going to use its local policies in the concession area, which may be able to solve the problem of homeless people in the urban area…”
“We can’t see what the Imperial Concession government’s intention to register labor in the port area is, but this policy may be able to rectify the chaos in the port area, but who knows? Maybe it’s another policy with no beginning and no end. “
“Can the actions of the Imperial Navy successfully solve the pirate problem that has been bothering me for a long time? The previous actions of various governments to suppress pirates were even more powerful, but they still ended in failure. This newspaper has reservations about this…”
During this period of time, newspapers and magazines in the concession area published various reports on the new policy, and the content of these reports has won the support of many citizens. Walking on the streets, you can often hear various citizens debating their opinions on their support.
Although they are only a group of insignificant civilians, the tradition of paying attention to politics retained during the reign of the Danse Republic still allows them to often argue with others about their own political views.
For this tradition of the local people, the concession government is not ready to intervene in changing it. It is also worth mentioning that although the Danse people have a tradition of paying attention to politics, they have no intention of leasing the port of Atona to foreign countries by the republic government. Too much dissatisfaction and resistance.
The reason is very simple. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that although the government of the Republic is still struggling to support it, they will be the ones who will win the propaganda. However, the downfall of the government of the Republic is only a matter of time, and even the intervention of the imperial army will not help.
The residents of Port Atona have become accustomed to a stable life. What they are most worried about is that the rebels on the other side of the civil war are jealous of the wealthy people of Port Atona and loot the city. If the place is leased to In the Borsland Empire, the rebels would not dare to attack the city rashly because of the powerful empire behind the concession area.
And they can continue to live their own stable lives.
A few days after the announcement of the plan, the Imperial Navy successfully annihilated one of the pirates who were attacking the passing merchant ships, sank all the ships of the pirate gang, and captured hundreds of pirates. There is no doubt that this wave of the Imperial Navy is a good start. It played an inspiring role, and made some newspapers in the concession area that were originally bad at the operation to immediately change their tone, expressing their belief in the strength of the Imperial Navy~www.mtlnovel.com~ Hundreds of pirates captured on the day the battle ended. He was sent back to Port Atona, without trial, and executed one by one directly under the onlookers of the citizens who had heard the news.
The efficiency of the Imperial Navy also made those pirates who had planned to run away really make up their minds to leave. After the news of the prisoners being executed by shooting reached the sea, they left this sea area one after another and went to other sea areas to seek life.
And the pirates who continue to stay in this sea area do not believe that the more than fifty warships of the Imperial Navy can wipe out all their pirates. You must know that there are a large number of pirates in the waters around Port Atona. The pirates add up to nearly one hundred and fifty warships, and the number of sailors is also as high as several thousand.
But they didn’t think that unless they really encountered a catastrophe and there was no way to escape, it was impossible for this rabble group of pirates to really unite to deal with a certain target. Various problems led to infighting, and finally the short-lived alliance was dissolved first.
Moreover, the pirates didn’t have to fight with the Imperial Navy here, they didn’t have nowhere to go.
