After hearing Kent Tanka's words, Constance II was also moved. At this moment, he also felt that it seemed that it was not necessary to retain such a powerful navy. In recent years, no major naval battles have occurred. Last year, the Great Cannibal came to attack once, and basically all the troops were wiped out, so they did not dare to attack from the sea again.

Kenttanka said: "Yes, your majesty, the navy is too expensive. The money for building a warship can improve the equipment of many army soldiers. Now we and the Franks are invincible. The Persians are beaten away by the cannibals and are no longer bordering us. They have not come to invade us for a long time.

Now there are only the big cannibals left, and their attacks are basically on land. Why don’t we save some money and equip our army? Isn’t that better?"

Constance II nodded, held the back of Kenttanka's hand and patted it gently, saying, "Although you are a woman, you know a lot!"

Kenttanka said: "Originally, military and national affairs are your men's affairs. When I was young, my father did not avoid me when he talked about things, so I knew some of my shallow insights, showing off in front of you, Your Majesty, is like stars showing off their light in front of the sun, making you laugh."

Constance II was very helpful to Kenttanka's compliment, and he smiled and said, "You are just sweet-mouthed and can speak."

Kent Tanka compliments her husband and returns to the original topic. She said: "Since the Navy can cut it, that old guy Stefan is not that important, and he should find a way to replace him."

Constance II said: "Stefan is a minister of the regent after all, and he has many supporters in the court. It is not easy to deal with him. It is necessary to maintain the strength of the navy. If he is replaced, he will not be able to find a candidate to replace him."

Kenttanka said: "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about this. I've seen it long ago that Stefan is arrogant and domineering. Many people are dissatisfied with him. If you agree, I can do the work of those people for you."

Kenttanka was very smart. After she became the queen, she managed the affairs of the palace in an orderly manner. Constance II admired her very much and believed in the queen's abilities.

Constance II nodded and said, "You can try to contact the people involved first and report the progress of the matter to me at any time."

Seeing that Constance II agreed to his opinion, Kenttanka was very happy, kissed him on the cheek and said, "Thank you for your trust."

Constance II kissed the queen's smooth forehead and said thoughtfully: "If Stefan is replaced, there is really no suitable candidate for the naval commander."

Kenttanka said: "Your Majesty, I have two candidates."

Constance II said, "Let me hear it."

Kenttanka said: "One is my father. You know my father is good at fighting and is familiar with the affairs of the navy."

Constance II knew that Kenttanka's father was a suitable candidate, but after all, he was once the king of Egypt. Constance II did not want him to control the army. He shook his head and said, "Your father is indeed a suitable candidate. However, he is old and in poor health, so let him enjoy his old age!"

Kenttanka was very ambitious. The Byzantine Empire, including Greece, Egypt and more than a dozen conquered countries. As an Egyptian, although she became the queen, she did not have her own foundation in Constantinople. She really wanted to arrange some people close to her by her side.

She was very smart. She knew that Constance II would not agree to use her father. She deliberately mentioned her father first and then proposed the candidate she really wanted to install. Constance II rejected one of her requests and was less embarrassed to refute the second request.

Kenttanka said: "Your Majesty, I will recommend another candidate for Marquis Huni. This man is young and promising, and is a very young general."

The person Kent Taka wants to install is the lover she has been childhood sweetheart. She knows him very well and knows that he will sacrifice everything for him. With such a loyal fan by his side, he will definitely be his right-hand assistant in the future.

Constance II had no impression of the person she mentioned, and said, "I'm afraid this is not possible. After all, the navy is one of the most important forces of the empire. It must be led by a respected person, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public. The person you mentioned may be difficult to be competent."

Thangka said: "Your Majesty, you are right in mind. I did not say that he would take over the Grand Duke Stefan directly. I mean that you can arrange this person to Grand Duke Stefan. On the one hand, you can learn from him and be familiar with the situation of the navy, and on the other hand, you can monitor Grand Duke Stefan. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?"

Constance II was still hesitant.

Kenttanka stretched out his arm and hugged Constance II's neck. His body twisted in his arms. His long and round legs rubbed gently on him restlessly. She said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, can't you believe me?"

Constance II could not resist her hot temptation. He picked up her legs, stood up, and said helplessly as he walked, "Okay then! Take him to see me."

Li You would be very happy if he heard the conversation between Constance II and Queen Kent Tanka.

The Roman Navy was huge and huge. Although their warships were not as advanced as those of the Tang Navy's warships, the huge number also made Li You feel a headache, especially the Greek fire they owned, which could pose a great threat to the Tang Army's warships.

The equipment of the Tang army warships is enough to resist the shooting of crossbows. Even the opponent's stone thrower, Li You came up with a solution to deal with it. He set up many solid fishing nets above the battleship. When the opponent's stone thrower hits the stone bullet, it can slow down the impact of the stone bullet, and the soldiers under the fishing net have time to dodge.

However, if the opponent attacks with Greek fire, the Tang army's warships are also wooden structures after all, which is a big trouble.

After all, the Roman navy has a history of hundreds of years. They have mature combat experience, well-trained, and very strong combat power.

Regarding the current commander of the Navy, Li You also obtained some relevant information from Ma Yino and Wang Xuance. Li You believed that if the Grand Duke of Stefan could be eliminated, it would temporarily paralyze the upper class of the Roman Navy and would be conducive to defeating the Roman Navy.
