A total of fifteen Imperial warships filled with the best anthracite, as well as a small amount of magical crystallization of imperial warships, plus five flounder-class transport and supply ships, carrying tens of thousands of undead sailors, and a mechanized infantry brigade of the reorganized Eighth Division. Starting from the deep-water port in the southern part of the empire, sailing towards the south, the rich and hot Arabi region. This was the first expedition of the Imperial Navy fleet. The Imperial Government of Silvania gave a lot of care for this expedition. The Imperial Government gave the Navy a lot of shipbuilding plans. In addition to the simple Dauntless-class battleships, the Empire also designed several new warships with different sizes and uses. These warships combined to form the empire, which currently has more than 80 warships and more than 50,000 naval officers and soldiers.

Of course, such care also caused complaints from some army officers. They claimed that according to the empire's plan, there was no need to dispatch so many powerful warships to bully a backward country that was still in the era of wooden sailing ships. Only a group of transport ships equipped with self-defense weapons, carrying enough army troops to pass by, can conquer the country.

In fact, their statement is very marketable. And it is not just for the navy. But for Sylvania, the current technological power that is almost ahead of the entire era. Many voices questioned whether the Empire should do this when facing such a backward enemy, and invested a large amount of funds to maintain an army that surpassed the times and seemed too large. Especially when the Empire wiped out almost all the forces around the Empire that were capable of fighting with the Empire.

People complain that the funds could have been used in scientific research, education, social welfare or something else that would benefit them, rather than maintaining a huge and useless army. Some idiots also wrote nonsense words like "Please stop your steps and wait for your people." Haha. Do they really think I am an idiot? Do you want to abolish the tools used by the empire to maintain its own rule? This is obviously impossible.

Of course, after this, the Empire is likely to form some paramilitary organizations, such as police forces only equipped with self-defense pistols. At least, it makes those humans think a little about this military armed forces. Although the Empire has destroyed almost all the opposition forces at present, there are still many wealthy and status bastards who recruit soldiers under the banner of self-defense and expand their private soldiers. This makes me feel very unhappy. Maybe I should find time to issue a law to strictly stipulate the scale and equipment of private armed forces. After a while, it will be simply cancelled. It is better to replace it with a security company with an official background.

OK OK OK, these things are not very important. Now we still have to talk about the conquest of Arabi. After a period of trade with Arabi, the urban handicrafts in their local coastal areas suffered a huge, or even devastating blow. A large number of small handicraft workshops went bankrupt and a large number of handicraftsmen were unemployed. Their markets were all transferred to Sylvania's cheap industrial products, which were transported from huge ocean freighters to containers, shipped by containers, and inexpensive industrial products. In terms of price subsidies, the imperial government did a good job in fact, the Empire is currently relying on more economic strength than Arabi, which is interfering with Arabi's economic operation. Anyway, there is no two terms of "dumping" and "monopoly" in this era. The Empire is happy to teach these stupid desert nations what blatant robbery is.

During the years when the economy deteriorated rapidly, although the Arabs did not fully understand the relationship between modern capitalist economic operation, they were the simplest and most primitive, and they snatched the jobs of the locals! This matter can be understood. A large amount of unemployment led to the rapid collapse of the feudal economy. The rapid collapse of the feudal economy led to a large number of unemployed people. A large number of unemployed people became huge unstable factors. A huge unstable factor became the fuse for conflict between the Arabs and the Sirvanian Empire government.

This is simply certain. The Arab civilians who lost their minds due to poverty and hunger either started a riot. Or simply launched a direct opposition to Sirvania, destroyed the warehouse and dock facilities in Sirvania, killed the merchants in Sirvania, or wanted to destroy the ocean freight ships in Sirvania. In the former, the increase in riots also made Arab princes and nobles even more dissatisfied.

The wealthy businessmen also complained that the empire had snatched their business. Mullah was angry that the merchants of Sylvania believed in heresy. There were also many immortals from the last Great Expedition. They angrily denounced the Sylvania Empire, which was the Sigma Empire... Well, there was a little misunderstanding here. It was probably true that people were still those people. But the government had completely changed. However, it was indeed a bit difficult to count on a country in the Middle Ages and had no intersection with them to distinguish the difference between the other party's "government" and "country". Especially when Arabs' literacy rate was so low that it was outrageous.

If you are interested in provoking disputes, you can just take out one of them, and you can treat it as a reason for the declaration of war. The people of the Empire were killed, the goods of the Empire were looted, and the beliefs of the Empire were insulted... What's more, all of these things happened in one breath. In the end, they turned into the ignorant and ignorant Arabs from top to bottom, and a comprehensive resistance to the Empire. At this stage, the Empire really roared and prepared to intervene by force... This made me sigh. After all, I was over thirty years old, and my temper had improved a lot.

So after burning the goods and flags of the empire, killing many innocent merchants and even more innocent apprentices, the Arabs fantasized about good days did not recover. The situation became worse. Without the material support of the empire, the Arabs were completely unable to restore their own material production in a short period of time. Especially when some of the daily chemical products produced through the empire's light industrial factories had become an indispensable part of the Arabs' daily life. The Great Depression in the market and the huge economic blow were taken for granted.
