"Ah, that guy.otbnkotgt During the current period, that is, after the Battle of Frisia, the empire has not engaged in any military confrontation with the Visigothic Republic.
Although the two sides are actually in a state of war.
However, in fact, there were only a handful of acts of war between the two sides.
At least that's true on land.
As for the sea, even if the Imperial Navy does not attack the Visigoths' overseas colonies and overseas trade routes, the Britons will not be polite.
Rather than letting those evil bastard Britons take over all these benefits, it is better to let the empire swallow them up.
Therefore, it is completely different from the war in the old continent.
In the overseas colonies and maritime trade routes, the empire's overseas colonial troops, as well as the empire's fleet and armed merchant ships, naturally had fierce battles and confrontations with the colonies of the Visigoth Republic, the colonial government, the colonial army, the fleet and the merchant ships.
With.
And of course, in such a fierce confrontation, it was definitely not the empire that lost in the end.
Although it is said that the Visigothic Republic exploded with great enthusiasm and great potential for war after the revolution.
However, the navy and the army are not the same thing.
Ten years of army, one hundred years of navy.
At least in this era, the navy's technical level is much higher than that of the army, and there are many more.
As for the army, if you want soldiers, you only need to train them well for three to five months and then throw them on the battlefield.
However, the navy requires technology.
Whether it is sailing, steering, lookout or damage control, all require skills.
It requires skills to operate artillery on the sea, and it requires skills to see the stars, understand the star guide, use the sextant, and view the charts.
Even wiping the deck requires special skills.
All in all, it is not an easy task to create a complete navy.
Therefore, the navy needs to accumulate, naval talents need to accumulate, naval officers, sergeants, and sailors all need to accumulate.
In addition, the navy's warships, various supplies, artillery, canvas, cables, wood, paint, copper, iron, etc. all need to be continuously maintained and updated.
Prior to this, the Visigothic Kingdom, the predecessor of the Visigothic Republic, was more or less a rising naval power.
When this country was at its most powerful, it was also grabbing colonies overseas and conducting various maritime trades.
It was only in the past few decades that things began to fail.
However, even though it has deteriorated in recent decades, the Visigothic Royal Navy still maintains a certain scale and level.
Whether it is training or fighting, whether it is supplies, treatment, salary, etc., they are all very good.
It is for this reason that almost all the Visigoth navy is royalist.
It is precisely because the Visigoth navy was all royalists, so they were naturally affected by the Great Revolution.
They belonged to the naval captains and generals of course, and they naturally needed to have a good sleep under the guillotine.
Let them understand that going against the great revolution is the worst thing in the world.
And those naval soldiers, officers and so on who are royalists.
Select some of the most heinous ones and chop them down together.
Anyway, they are all such scum, so they should be chopped down.
After that, because these evil guys are all unreliable.
So let’s just let them all retire.
If they are not discharged from the army, why should they continue to stay on the ship?
Maybe there will be a riot for you sometime.
Then he snatched the ship and ran to those monarchy countries.
No one will be able to cry by then.
Right?
That's it, the Visigoth's navy received a huge impact from top to bottom, an impact that almost collapsed.
After the revolution, the ruling government also had its own ideas about the navy.
They dispatched officers to each battleship who they believed were loyal, reliable, politically strong, and would never betray the great revolution.
Then they appointed people who were related to them as captains.

As for the crew, they chose those fishermen who had great grievances and must be reliable as sailors and sailors.
Sailors who were used to wandering on the sea were considered by them to be human beings.
Scum and the reserves of scum are absolutely unreliable.
This way, they feel at ease.
I think that in this way, I can firmly control this navy in my own hands.
It's just a pity that this is just a good wish.
Some people without any sailing experience may even get seasick.
Other than that, they are all laymen who don't understand naval warfare.
These guys form a corps of naval generals and officers.
Plus a group of guys on a small fishing boat doing all kinds of mischief.
The combat effectiveness of the navy composed of these people can be imagined as a matter of course.
More importantly, despite its various military victories, the implementation of various economic policies that are conducive to the development of capitalism, and the ability to plunder those noble priests and obtain compensation from the defeated countries, the Visigothic Republic The economy is still far from satisfactory.
Under such circumstances, the Republic needs to assemble the largest army force in the world, and it is already very difficult to maintain the operation of the army's war machine.
Not to mention, maintaining a navy or something.
Therefore, the various artillery, metal, wood, canvas and various supplies are all tilted in the direction of the army.
As for the navy, they receive almost no funding.
It's very hard, so hard that it makes people want to sigh.
That's it, such an extremely rubbish navy performed extremely poorly in several battles with the Britons.
It is even said that the Briton's squadron and a few frigates dared to fight the opponent's capital ship.
Anyway, if you're lucky, the other party might kill himself, hit a rock, or get into a whirlpool or something.
Even if the other party is lucky enough to survive.
You can tell by looking at the way the other party drives the ship swaying.
You can easily escape.
After a series of battles like this, almost all the naval battleships that the Kingdom had accumulated through hard work were defeated by the Republic.
The losses were heavy.
Completely lost control of the sea If this is the case at home, it goes without saying what it will be like overseas.
Russian Gothic Empire, Kingdom of Britons.
Even the Kingdom of Asturias, which is now in decline, and the Kingdom of Frisia, which should theoretically be considered dead, can be bullied by almost everyone.
The Visigoths' colonies, which were not many to begin with, were divided up in the shortest possible time.
The northern colony of Louisiana in the New World was annexed by the Empire's Neo-Gothic Colony and the Briton's Northern Colony.
In the south, Guyana was swallowed up by the Empire, Britons and Asturias.
In the East, the various trade strongholds opened in the Far East, as well as the influence and commercial relations with various countries in Southeast Asia.
It was also divided up.
In this way, even on the battlefields of the New World, the Visigothic Republic was still advancing rapidly and was very powerful.
However, in terms of overseas colonies and overseas trade, the Republic failed miserably.
It seemed that there was no possibility of a comeback.
It is precisely for this reason and because there are no external inputs of various resources that the people's livelihood of the Visigothic Republic and the material abundance of the Visigothic Republic have declined a lot.
Because of the conflict with the world's largest grain-producing and grain-exporting country, the Russian Gothic Empire, their grain trade was interrupted.
The empire would rather use these grains to make wine, or use these grains as feed to eat more meat, than let the enemies of the empire eat these things.
This led to a spike in food prices in the Visigothic Republic, as well as increasing prices for agricultural products
Although they have now conquered Frisia, the most famous pastoral country in the Old World.
However, due to the war, a large number of Frisian ranches closed down.
Those dairy cows, and beef cattle and stuff.
Regardless of whether they were male or female, adults or minors, they were all captured, killed, and eaten by the Visigothic army, of course some of them were the Britonian army and the Russian Gothic Empire army.
Therefore, even though Frisia was conquered, it would still take a long time to resume agricultural production.

In addition, it is still due to food and agriculture.
Fighting almost day and night, few regions in the fragmented Ostrogothic Empire had achieved food self-sufficiency.
To a greater or lesser extent, they all have food trade with the empire.
Through the Danube, through the Elbe, the Rhine and various artificial canals.
Imperial ships filled with food brought the possibility of survival to the people in these areas In fact, in addition to normal food trade, free food is also included under the banner of humanitarianism and nationalism to win people's hearts.
The hungry people everywhere enjoyed the free gifts from their future great emperor as a matter of course.
However, after the arrival of the Visigoths, this all changed.
The empire interrupted these grain trades.
In fact, even if the empire did not want to be interrupted, the Visigoths did not want to spend money or trade privileges to provide for the empire.
Of course, they will never let the empire's humanitarian relief supplies enter to win people's hearts and interfere with the revolution.
As for the Visigoths themselves, after the land was divided among the local tyrants, there was some food.
The food was not even enough for the Visigoths to eat themselves and to supply the Visigoths' army.
How could it be given to these guys occupying the area?
Really.
That's it, the area occupied by the Visigoths.
There was more or less famine.
After having a great time beating up all the nobles and priests who were on top of them, the peasants made a very sad discovery.
They still don't have enough to eat.
Even more hungry than before.
This resentment was naturally placed on the heads of the Visigoths. 160420oshow7:
