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 without politeness 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 a dúlì military "warping" ship. Breaking through the wind and waves, flying like an arrow, a Dragon Tooth battleship came from the direction of the port, straight towards Fatty’s ship,
The spray of the bow split gently, and the water mark slowly dissipated towards the back of the battleship. 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 battleship's deck and asked the guards who received him.
"Your Majesty is at the bow of the ship!" The guard replied, and Dusterenkai walked to the bow of the ship, and he saw the majesty Falcon standing there..
"Any new news from Normandy?" The fat man turned from the front, and the sun shone from behind him.
A few days ago, he had already received the report of the Southern Army group breaking through the Normandy Kyoto gateway Barahona. On February 25th, the Southern Army forward arrived at the Normandy Kyoto city. 26rìThe southern army launched a fierce attack from the four gates of the Normandy capital, and finally used Thor to collapse the west gate of Normandy Kyoto, and the army attacked the city with an unstoppable momentum.
In the fierce battle until 28th morning, all 4,500 people from the Normandy Kyoto garrison were wiped out, and the city is now under complete control...
The goal of the first phase is quite satisfactory. Although the coalition forces suffered a disastrous defeat, Nilai was not in a serious condition. 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 of landing, not only defeated the main force of Normandy, but also controlled the north-central area of Normandy.
Reposti’s expeditionary army also swept the Norman city group from south to north. As more and more Salanders joined, the force has exceeded 40,000, becoming an important The military strength and the confluence of the two armies has become unstoppable.
Now the Normans only have less than a third of the northeast, and everything is stable, at least for now,
Fatty knows very well. 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. The front is just warming up,
As the fat man’s confidant, Dusterenkai knew what his lord really cared about. The imperial navy’s gaze is the Gaul imperial navy. How could your majesty’s gaze 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 is getting closer and closer in the distance. After more than a month of construction, the original port has been expanded several times, with more than 30 seats. The docks are lined up along the inside of the arc-shaped harbor, like a row of pearls inlaid on the coast of silver,
The imperial fleet that arrived early filled the port with countless white sails, standing like a forest in a docile port position. The sailors in the port were constantly carrying supplies, and the waves lightly brushed the beach, flashing. The waves of silver, the calm winter of the Obalo Sea,
It's calm like spreading soft woolen satin, and like condensed jasper, without the slightest flaw,
"As expected by your majesty"
Dusterenkai smiled and said relaxedly, "How can a mainland hegemon like the Gaul Empire take the Normans who are basically regarded as barbarians to heart? This year is an extremely 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. Regarding the orders of the Gaul Empire, 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 Liansta An honest guy like Tunke will ignore the real danger even in a smooth sailing situation! "The fat guy heard the request of the Southern Army and smiled lightly 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 said uncertainly, "Are they going to save their rivals? I heard that this time the Normans are only bad. They were appointed as regional governors at one point, they shouldn’t..."
"Equal strength is called an opponent~IndoMTL.com~If strength is not equal, it is not an opponent, but a goal that can gain benefits." The fat man took a deep breath and interrupted Dustellenkai’s words from a distance. Chu Jing sè regained his gaze. "If the former Norman was a brave wolf, then this wolf is now crippled and has lost the strength to compete. All countries wait and see, like a group of hungry wolves waiting for the opportunity hungrily. , Hasn't moved now, just because the pack of wolves hasn't seen the bait worthy of their troops!"
The fat man's voice stopped, and he suddenly asked Dustellenkai, "If you were a Norman, and you were in desperation, what would you do if a large area of land was lost?" I would use Those occupied lands are used as bait, and whoever wants to help me, I will give those lands to him!” Dustellenkai said naturally with a sudden realization on his face, “You’re right, this is the beginning of our war!” Fatty Nodded appreciatively,
There was a slight tremor at the foot, and the battleship landed. The fat man saw the high mountains on the island, and he could also see the white snow trails, like a circle of white collars, 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.)
