Before he could finish speaking, Eddington raised an eyebrow and interrupted him coldly, "Sit down and talk, James."

"Furthermore, I must warn you..."

Although he was addressing James, Eddington's gaze was fixed on the army generals at the conference table:

"You think we have to intervene in the Yan Kingdom's exercise to stop them, but the risks that would be taken by our navy are enormous."

“They are conducting live-fire exercises, not just running around at sea doing something superficial.”

"The watchtower observed that several islands were being bombarded by their artillery, and the landscape was changed in just a few hours. I don't think I need to explain the power of the shells they fired."

"We have already learned from the previous naval battles that a combined fleet of thousands of warships is no match for the ironclad behemoths of the Yan Kingdom."

At this point, James, who had already sat back down in his chair, stiffened, and the other army generals also showed strange expressions. Only Isabella, who sat upright and silent, remained calm and listened quietly.

Eddington looked around at everyone, then turned to James and said, "You can speak with confidence here only because you are on land, and all the battles you fought before were on land."

"In the open sea, if the Yan people fire a dozen or so shells that hit our large warships, it could cause our warships to sink."

“The Shenglu people are cunning, so they do nothing at this time. The Grand Duke of Saint-Ister is anxious, but he only asks for our opinion first.”

"Saw off the rafters on the wall first, don't you understand?"
