Game of Thrones' opening sold the gods

Chapter 150 149. I grow up to defend the empire

Radu Mello frowned, "I understand what you mean, but Braavos is not capable of launching an ocean-going war right now. According to the speed of the shipyard, it will take at least half a year to a year."

Radu Mello is very aware of the current situation in Braavos. This can be said to be the lowest point in Braavos. The fleet was completely destroyed, and the deposit in the Iron Bank was cut in half.

That's right, the iron bank's inventory was cut in half, not all of the property. Obviously, Radu Mello still kept a hand.

However, a considerable part of the remaining half is overseas loans that have not been recovered.

The iron bank currently has about 7000 million gold dragons in stock, and the other 3000 million gold dragons are unrepaid loans from other forces.

The number of 3000 million may not be scattered much, but if they are gathered together, the number is still quite a lot, which is why some forces plan to unite to become Lao Lai.

"Of course I have considered this, so I plan to sell you a batch of warships, including the entire Iron Fleet, and some warships of the River Navy currently docked at the gate of Braavos."

Hearing Theon's words, Radu Mello was taken aback. Isn't Azenia planning to control the Narrow Sea? Why would she want to sell her warship?
"Your Excellency Theon, with all due respect, if you sell these warships, you may not be able to completely control the Narrow Sea." Radu sounded out to test Theon, and he had a very bad guess in his heart.

"It's nothing, it's okay to tell you. Now the technology of the empire's steam engines has become more and more mature, and wooden warships will be eliminated in the future."

Radu was startled, as expected, since Azenia dared to sell the warship, there must be a better substitute.

"But Braavos doesn't have that much money right now, we may not be able to afford your Iron Fleet." Radu politely refused.

After all, Braavos's shipyard can launch a warship every day, so there is no need to buy it. If Theon is willing to sell that smoking ironclad ship, then Braavos will consider it based on the price.

"That's a pity. The war in Slaver's Bay is a rare opportunity. No matter the reason for sending troops or the target of attack, they are impeccable."

"But it doesn't matter. If you Braavosi don't buy it, then I will sell it to others. Just in the past few days, several forces have contacted me suddenly, so I will sell it to them."

Hearing Theon's words, Radu Mello immediately became vigilant.

"I wonder if Your Excellency Theon can reveal the buyer's situation." Radu asked aloud.

But Xi En shook his head and refused: "When doing business, there is no way to disclose the buyer's information. Should we do it in the future?"

Radu smiled and said, "I want to inquire about the other party's bid. If the price is right, we Braavos will buy it, but we may need a loan to buy it."

Hearing this, Theon immediately said that payment in installments is not a problem.

Eventually Braavos bought the entire Iron Fleet and all the wooden warships of the River Navy.

After signing various contracts with Radu, Theon boarded the Ionia and left.

Radu Mello looked at the distant Ionia battleship with a cloudy face. Before that, Braavosi had always boasted that it was a century ahead of the world in navigation technology, and the Braavosi people had always been proud of it.

But this pride has been completely shattered now. If there is no relevant technical support for this large ship of at least 200 meters, Braavos will not be able to build it for decades or even hundreds of years.

Unlike Radu Mello's sighs, Theon is holding a banquet on the Ionia, and this trip has gained too much.

A total of more than 1 million golden dragons have been harvested. This time, the development of the empire has completely entered the fast lane. In the next few years, the life of the empire will be much easier.

After Theon returned to the imperial capital, he immediately announced the news to the empire, which aroused carnival among the people.

Now every citizen in the empire is proud of being a citizen of the empire, but not everyone is happy.

The loss of personnel in this naval battle was not small, and thousands of people died. Theon personally issued the king's warrant to express condolences to the families of these soldiers.

At the same time, the full amount of the pension will be distributed to the family members, and they will be personally supervised to prevent someone from filling their own pockets.

But money is dead, but people will never live.

Riverrun Martyrs' Cemetery.

The sun had already set, and Shalan put a bouquet of flowers in front of the tombstone. Her husband died in the Battle of the Narrow Sea. Because it was a naval battle, her husband's body could not be found. For this reason, the empire paid an extra pension .

According to her husband's official position, the pension is 360 gold dragons. At the same time, she can continue to receive subsidies from the government every year for 12 consecutive years. The children will also be exempted from all school fees, and the government will provide child support until they are 16 years old.

These are enough for Sha Lan and her son to live comfortably for a lifetime, but for Sha Lan, the death of her husband cannot be compensated by these golden dragons, and she would rather not have these subsidies.

Sharon was about to get up to take her son Hillert home, but it was already late, and her son hadn't even had lunch.

Hillert reached out to wipe her tears, looked at her nine-year-old son, Sharon reached out and stroked Hillert's cheek, and said with a choked voice: "Hillot, your father may never come back, mom I just ask you to live your life in peace, and don’t follow your father’s insistence on being a soldier, okay?”

But Hilt said firmly: "Mother, I plan to apply for the military academy. I want to pay my father. When I grow up, I want to defend the empire and smash all enemies that stand in front of the empire. My father is a second lieutenant of the empire. I want to become the general of the empire!"

Sharon stared blankly at her son, he was so similar to her husband, the only difference was Hillet's personality.

Hillert turned to face his father's tombstone and kowtowed three times, then stood up and gave a military salute.

He had to be a soldier, and he couldn't forget his father's bright eyes and pride when he talked about the Imperial Army, and he couldn't forget the proud look of the school teacher when he told them about the history of the empire in the first class.

The empire’s schools have taken initial shape. The empire has given priority to enrolling military heirs, and after the school expands, it will also enroll citizen students one after another.

March 305, AC 3.

Three months have passed since the signing of the Narrow Sea Treaty.

Leanna is playing Go with Misela, Gomoku can no longer satisfy these two smart little lolis.

Eureka, who was making trouble next to her, was tickled by Lyanna and laughed, struggling crazily.

Lyanna has completely adapted to life in the imperial capital, and the standard of living here is much better than that of Bear Island.

Happy here, don't think about bears.
