Power and Empire Chapter 1304: The Sword of Empire (7)
Fatty stood on the bow of the Dragon-class battleship, looking at the port of Antoros in the distance, and the fluctuations in his heart were no smaller than the wind and waves under the ship's side. This is Antoros, on the Obaro island chain. The pearl of the empire, the most important support point of his imperial naval strategy,
I have reviewed this name countless times on the map. Things on the map are always abstract. The Obaro island chain on the map. From the point of view of the location, this series of sea passages composed of scattered islands makes The continent of Ikadiva, which hangs lonely overseas, is connected with the main continent, Obaro.
You can say that without Antoros as the center of the island chain, the empire’s coveting of the Europa continent will be delayed for at least 30 years. Whoever masters Antoros will have the initiative in the sea. It’s a pity that in this era when the dominance of the sea is not obvious, almost no one will realize this. Even if the Gaul Empire has a powerful navy, it still only uses the navy as a supplement to the army, rather than an independent service
"Pushing" the bow broke through the wind and waves, and galloped like an arrow. From the direction of the harbor, a dragon-tooth warship came straight towards Fatty’s ship.
The lightly splitting waves of the bow, the water marks slowly dissipated towards the back of the battleship, and finally the smaller Dragon Tooth battleship slowly stopped beside the Dragon-class battleship, and the admiral Dusterenkai appeared. On the deck, he walked onto the Dragon-class battleship along the sampan between the two ships,
" Where’s your Majesty? ‘Dusterenkai stepped on the deck of the battleship and asked the guards who received him
"Your Majesty is at the bow of the ship!" The guard replied, and Dusterenkai walked towards the bow, and he saw the majesty Falcon standing there with his majesty figure.
"Is there any news from Normandy?" The fat man turned from the front, and the sun shined through his back.
A few days ago, he had already received the report that the Southern Army group broke through the Normandy’s gateway to Barahona. On February 25, the Southern Army forward arrived at Normandy’s capital, and on the 26th, the Southern Army moved from the four gates of Normandy’s capital. Initiated a fierce attack, and finally blasted the west gate of Normandy Kyoto with Thor, and the army attacked the city with an unstoppable momentum,
From the battle of jī to the morning of the 28th, all 4,500 people from the Normandy Kyoto garrison were annihilated, and the city is now under complete control. . . . . .
The first phase of the goal is still satisfactory. Although the coalition forces suffered a miserable defeat, Nilai was not in any serious trouble. He led the remaining 2,000 troops to a safe Alamein, and the Southern Army really lived up to expectations. In just half a month, not only defeated the main force of Normandy, but also controlled the north-central part of Normandy.
Riposti’s expeditionary army also swept across the Norman city group from south to north. With the addition of more and more Salanders, the force has exceeded 40,000, making it an important Military strength, the convergence of the two armies has been unstoppable,
Now the Normans only have less than one-third of the northeast, and everything is stable, at least for now,
Fatty knows very well that Normandy is not an opponent of the empire. His real goal is the behemoth behind Normandy. The war belonging to the empire has just begun, and the front is just a warm-up.
As the fat man’s confidant, Dusterenkai knew what his lord really cared about. The Imperial Navy’s eyes were the Gaul Imperial Navy. How could his majesty’s eyes be just a Norman Kyoto? He slowly Said, "According to some of our eyeliner reports in the Gaul Empire, the Normans have begun to ask for help from the Gaul Empire"
"What's the reaction of the Gaul Empire?" The fat man raised his head and looked at the port of Antoros, which was getting closer and closer in the distance. After more than a month of construction, the original port has been expanded several times to more than 30. The docks are lined up along the inside of the arc-shaped harbor, like a row of pearls inlaid on the silver coast,
The imperial fleet that arrived early filled the port with countless white sails, standing like a forest in a docile harbor position. The sailors in the port were constantly carrying supplies, and the waves lightly brushed the beach, flashing silver. Beautiful waves, calm and calm winter Obalo Sea,
is calm like spreading soft woolen satin, and like condensed jasper, without the slightest flaw,
"Same as your Majesty expected"
Dusterenkai smiled, and said relaxedly, "How can a mainland hegemon like the Gaul Empire take Normans who are basically regarded as barbarians at heart? This year is another very important regional governor election. I am too busy in my own country, and I am still in charge of the Normans, but as a suzerain, the Gaul Empire routinely ordered several kingdoms near Normandy to send reinforcements. To the Gaul Empire’s orders, the reactions of the several kingdoms were different. , The Southern Army inferred that the countries did not intend to rescue. If the opportunity permits, Master Statunko asked His Majesty to allow him to continue to advance, and strive to complete the occupation of the entire Normandy within one month."
" Hehe, it seems that even an honest guy like Statunko would ignore the real danger when he was sailing smoothly! "The fat man heard the request of the Southern Army and smiled relaxedly at the corner of his mouth.
The blue sky and white clouds in front of me are transparent and deep. The morning sun shyly shone out from the clouds, and it was particularly soft when it shone on the front of the port. The silhouettes of fish swimming and leaping on the calm sea showed a shallow looming water pattern,
"Your Majesty means that countries will send reinforcements?" A trace of confusion flashed across Dusterenkai's face, and he was not sure, "Are they going to save their rivals? I heard that this time the Normans are only bad. I was appointed as the regional governor at one point~IndoMTL.com~ They probably won't..."
"Equal strength is called an opponent. If strength is not equal, it is not an opponent, but a goal that can gain benefits." The fat man took a deep breath, interrupted Dustellenkai's words, and looked back from the distant view. "If the former Norman was a brave wild wolf, then this wild wolf is now crippled and has lost the strength to compete. Countries are waiting and watching, like a group of hungry wolves waiting for the opportunity hungrily, and now it hasn’t moved. It’s just that the pack of wolves hasn’t seen a bait worthy of their troops!"
The fat man's voice stopped, and he suddenly asked Dustellenkai, "If you were a Norman, in desperate circumstances, what would you do if a large area of land was lost?"
" I will use those occupied lands as bait, whoever wants to help me, I will give him those lands!" Dusterenkai said naturally with a sudden enlightenment on his face
" You are right, this is the beginning of our war!" The fat man nodded appreciatively,
There was a slight tremor at the foot of the battleship, and the fat man saw the high places of the mountains on the island, and he could also see the white snow trails, like a circle of white collars, and the beautiful scenery straight into the sky, beautiful and peaceful. Dazzling,
The noisy port vocals came at once, the calm was broken, and the world began to become real.
This lively port in front of me overlaps with the place names on the map that I have examined countless times. ((To be continued) [] If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
