On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

Chapter 1206 Seducing the Minister of War?

"They simply don't understand what true long-range ocean warfare is!"

"They have no idea what sails, ocean currents, and monsoons are!"

"They can't even draw a decent world chart!"

"Even if we equip such a navy with the most advanced cannons and the most sturdy warships, they will still be a bunch of utterly helpless rabble!"

“And Japan,” her gaze fell once more on that small island nation on the map, her eyes becoming incredibly sharp, “is the best, and also the most brutal, training ground we prepared for this weak navy!”

"They have far more sailing experience than we do!"

"There are sailors and soldiers there who know the ocean better than we do!"

"It has the most complex and dangerous marine environment in the world!"

"What I want is not just to conquer Japan and seize that silver mine!"

"What I want is to forge a truly invincible fleet for our Great Qian through this war!"

"A mighty army that can roam the four seas, invincible and unstoppable! A mighty army that can plant the dragon flag of our Great Qian across every corner of this star and every blue ocean!"

"And I have already decided on the first admiral for this fleet." She paused, her gaze sweeping across the room before finally settling on the blonde beauty who stood silently in the corner.

"Elizabeth Swann!"

"Your subject... is here!" Elizabeth was slightly taken aback by the sudden call to name, but she quickly recovered and stepped forward, kneeling on one knee.

"From this day forward, I hereby officially appoint you as the first Admiral of the Royal Navy of the Great Qian Dynasty!"

"Commander-in-Chief of the Expeditionary Force Against Japan!"

"I hereby entrust the naval forces of Guangdong, Fujian, and Zhejiang provinces, as well as your 'Black Pearl' fleet, totaling one thousand warships and over fifty thousand soldiers, to your unified command and control!"

"I'm giving you three months!"

"I don't care what methods you use!"

"I only want one result!"

That is victory!

"Three months from now, I want to see with my own eyes the phoenix flag of my Great Qian Dynasty planted atop the castle tower of the Japanese capital!"

"Can you do it?!"

Murong Yan's words were like thunderclaps from the heavens, exploding throughout the entire Zichen Palace!

To appoint a Western barbarian demoness of unknown origin who had just surrendered as the first admiral of the Great Qian Royal Navy?

They even want her to command the naval forces of three provinces, a total of 50,000 troops, to conquer Japan?!

This...this is simply the most ridiculous thing imaginable!

"Your Majesty! You must not do this!"

"Yes, Your Majesty! This woman's origins are unknown, and she harbors treacherous ambitions! How can we entrust her with such an important task?!"

"Your Majesty, please reconsider! Retract your decree!"

In an instant, a deafening chorus of opposition erupted once again within the hall.

All the officials felt that their Empress had truly gone mad this time!

This is no longer a game of chess!

This is clearly playing with fire!

They are risking the last remaining naval assets of the Great Qian Dynasty, and the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers, to engage in a doomed and utterly foolish gamble!

However, they were met with a wave of opposition that nearly blew the roof off the Zichen Palace.

Murong Yan's face remained completely unmoved.

She simply watched quietly as the blonde bombshell, kneeling on one knee, also wore an expression of disbelief and shock.

“Elizabeth,” her voice was soft yet carried an undeniable force, “answer me.”

"Do you dare to take this bet from me?"

Elizabeth, lift your head.

Those beautiful, sapphire-blue eyes stared intently at the Eastern empress before her, who seemed to regard the fate of the entire world as a mere plaything in her hands.

She could sense the madness and determination hidden beneath the other person's seemingly calm gaze—a madness and resolve powerful enough to burn the eight wastelands and boil the four seas dry!

She knew that the woman in front of her was the same kind of person as her!

They are all born gamblers!

They all love dancing on the edge of a knife!

They all enjoy the ultimate thrill and excitement of gambling their own destiny and the destiny of the whole world on a high-stakes gamble!

An unprecedented excitement and fighting spirit at meeting a worthy opponent!

It surged up from the depths of her heart in an instant!

She slowly stood up.

All the shock and confusion on that beautiful face had vanished.

Instead, she wore a wicked smile that was exactly like Murong Yan's, full of madness and confidence.

"Your Majesty, my esteemed Queen."

She bowed slightly and spoke slowly in a provocative and playful aria.

"I'll take your bet."

"but……"

"I also have one small condition."

"Oh?" Murong Yan looked at her defiant and confident expression, a playful smile curving her lips. "Tell me about it."

“My conditions are very simple.” Elizabeth extended a slender finger painted with bright red nail polish and lightly traced it across her full, red lips, a gesture that exuded a deadly allure.

"I can go on this eastern expedition."

"But I need someone to go with me."

"Who?" Murong Yan raised an eyebrow slightly.

Elizabeth's gaze slowly swept across the entire room and finally landed on the young general standing at the head of the military officers, who had a murderous look on his face.

"he."

Everyone's eyes followed the direction she was pointing.

When they saw that Elizabeth was pointing to Yue Fei, one of the founders of the Shenji Battalion of the Ministry of War, they were surprised.

Everyone's face showed a look of understanding.

They all thought that Elizabeth had her eye on Yue Fei, with his unparalleled military talent.

She wanted to bring him, the most outstanding land general in the Great Qian Dynasty, along to add a tiny bit of weight to her doomed eastern expedition.

however.

They all guessed wrong.

Elizabeth gave Yue Fei a smile that was both alluring and playful.

Then she spoke slowly in an aria that could make any man's bones melt.

"I have heard that this General Yue is not only a brilliant strategist but also the bravest commander in the army."

"And he is also the most valued and trusted right-hand man of our great Regent."

"My eastern expedition is a long and extremely dangerous journey. If I didn't have a man like General Yue by my side who is both capable and reliable, I would be in dire need of protection."

"People will be scared~"

Her words were full of blatant flirting and provocation.

Like a pink sex bomb!

It instantly exploded within the solemn and majestic Zichen Palace!

All the civil and military officials looked as if they had been struck by lightning!

Everyone was dumbfounded and speechless!

They never dreamed of this!

This blonde enchantress from the West dared to do this in front of the entire court and Her Majesty the Empress!

They openly flirted with the Minister of War, who was the most upright and incorruptible official in the Great Qian Dynasty and the least interested in women!

This...this...this is just too...too indecent!

That's absolutely outrageous!
