"Clemento, what do you think of my decision?" Although Isabella had already decided on the candidate in her mind, she still asked.
But unexpectedly, as soon as she asked this question, Clemento suddenly knelt on one knee in front of her, his face became extremely heavy:
"Your Majesty, the compatriots I brought out died in a foreign land. Their souls are still wandering in the strange sea. Their souls still cannot rest in peace, and my soul remains there as well."
At this point, Clemento touched his body and continued, “What you see before you is just an empty shell.”
"My body can never recover. Only if I go to Yan Country again and defeat these demons with my own hands can those dead souls rest in peace."
Seeing that he spoke with great emotion and sincerity, Isabella frowned slightly: "But, your body..."
This time Clemento interrupted her, clenched his fist, slapped his chest hard, and said:
"Your Majesty, believe me!"
"I promise you, I will never let you down! No one can beat me twice!"
"I will make that man pay double for what he did to us!"
Isabella hesitated, but Clement continued:
"They have artillery, and so do we. Our range and power are no less than theirs. They have large sailing warships, and our first-class warships are equally huge. If we engage in a head-on battle at sea, we will never be defeated!"
"Although you said that this may not be all of their warships, the Fiery Sun Fleet I brought this time is not the entire naval force of our country."
"After the failure last time, we will join forces with other countries to build more and stronger warships. How can they stop us?"
"Excuse me, but I think the test you mentioned is too conservative."
"They won the victory by cunning means last time. I'm sure they must be complacent now, thinking that this is all we have. But how could they have imagined that our country of Sari is a truly powerful country with a foundation that they can't match!"
At this point, Clemento's face darkened, and he continued in a cold voice:
"We should launch a lightning strike, just like what Von Palen did. When Yan Nation is still feeling proud of a small victory, we should strike swiftly and crush their navy completely with overwhelming force!"
"After destroying their naval forces, we will immediately dispatch transport ships to send the army to that land and teach them the most profound lesson in the shortest possible time!"
"Your Majesty! Leave this task to me! I promise you! This year, we will be able to land on the land of Yan Nation!"
Although Clemento's proposal was rather radical, Isabella knew that it made sense. As he said, there was not much difference between the artillery and warships currently owned by Yan State and those owned by her country.
The biggest reason for the last failure was not the strength of Yan State’s naval power, but the lack of intelligence that led to misjudgment, which forced the fleet to fight that naval battle after being consumed by them in the naval port, which led to the eventual annihilation of the entire army.
In other words, as long as more warships are sent, the Yan Kingdom Navy may be suppressed by numbers.
"They are all sailing warships, but I wonder how many large warships they have." This is the question Isabella is thinking about now, but she thinks there shouldn't be too many. After all, if Yan Country really has the same number of large warships as our country, then they will never stay near the coast.
She even felt that the Yan Kingdom's warships only had a large number of guns and were large enough, but did not necessarily have the ability to sail long distances. This could explain what they did.
"Your Majesty, what do you think?" Clemento asked at this time.
In fact, Clemento was already furious at this moment. He couldn't wait to return to the sea with more warships to defeat the Yan Kingdom Navy. This was not even for personal honor, but he was really completely enraged that night.
Thinking of the man's indifferent expression, as if he had no fear of angering the Sari Kingdom at all, Clement felt so angry that his whole body was hot.
He had to personally lead the fleet to capture the man, and then chop off the heads of his men one by one in front of the man to vent his anger!
"Clemento, how about this? You go back and rest first. We will discuss it in detail in the Privy Council the day after tomorrow." After saying that, Isabella turned and looked out the window.
Clemento sighed inwardly after not getting the desired result:
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"But I still hope you can make a decision soon. It's already July. If we delay it until winter, it will be a big obstacle for our voyage."
"Okay, I understand. Go back and take care of yourself," said Isabella.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Clemento turned and left.
After he left, Isabella turned around and sat in the chair. After thinking for a moment, she picked up paper and pen and began to write a letter.
She needed to write three secret letters and give them to Emperor Figus of Saint-Luc, Archduke Saint-Istria of Hungary, and Emperor von Palen who was far away on another continent.
Although there were only three letters, Isabella still wrote until late at night. After picking up the secret letters, the courier left Garnate overnight. They needed to deliver the secret letters as quickly as possible.
After writing the letter, Isabella did not return to her residence to rest. She continued to sit in the chair and think.
She was thinking that it had been more than two months since the end of the last war, and Yan Country already had a thousand warships at that time. So in the next confrontation, they should use this time to build more warships.
If they could bring out more warships, the expedition against them might last for several months or even a year or two. During this period, would such a large-scale expedition be discovered by the Taqi State? They have also been expanding in recent years.
If they cannot quickly gain control of Yan State, then if Taqi State also discovers that continent, they will inevitably get involved.
After thinking for a while, Isabella smiled and leaned back in her chair with a relaxed look.
"Taqi Country is our competitor. Although Yan Country has demonstrated some strength, this previously unknown country may not be able to show more combat power in the future."
"What needs to be noted is the military innovation of Taqi Country, while Yan Country is just a colony that we have yet to use."
"How can a single country fight against the coalition forces of several countries? Can they build large warships day and night? Or can they innovate their armaments in a short period of time?"
Isabella muttered a few words to herself, then sat up from her chair and stretched.
"That's impossible."
She blew out the lamp and left the room.
