Power and Empire Chapter 1504: Wind and rain are coming (5)
The waves hit the shallow beach, and the white ice was washed up on the beach. Looking at it, the white ice floes spread out on the edge of the island, like flowers blooming in summer, with a faint sea breeze. , The dense harbor area, the battleships are neatly arranged, and white winter birds are rising and falling on the towering masts,
"Very beautiful scenery, which is hard to see in Gangfei in the south"
Looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window, Roland Lefibere, commander of the Second Fleet of the Imperial Navy, turned around, with thick short hair, red wine in his hand, and a leisurely look on his face. Indulged in the scenery outside, opposite him, stood a handsome young man with a straight military uniform,
dark blond hair, brightly shining on people’s faces, with a young man’s unique vigor, "Go forward! Go forward!" The word is like written on his unruly face,
"The subordinates express regret for the loss of the assault ship Marquise of Ancarros!" The young officer stood at attention, lowered his head and said, he was the admiral of the third assault squadron, and also the Congolese Navy during that encounter. 'S commander
"What was the situation like at that time? To be more specific, I need to know every detail of this loss"
Roland Lefibere looked out the window with solemn eyes, took a sip of the wine in his hand, gently rubbed the smooth glass wine glass with his fingers, and made a gesture to the adjutant at each end, and the adjutant hurriedly Sit down at the desk and set up the pen in his hand. Obviously, I want to record every sentence in the back
Rousseau Wanda’s body stood up a little nervously, reporting the situation of the day in a clear tone
" I ordered the fleet to quickly set up the combat formation. The opponent obviously did not react. Our army rushed into the enemy fleet with the upper hand. The first battle was successful, and this is the mistake. I didn’t expect the Northwest Navy’s ability to react so quickly. At that time, I only wanted to quickly defeat them, so... everything happened too suddenly, but the subordinates also believed that although we lost a battleship, we also found out the trump card of the Northwest Navy, this fleet. 'S combat power is very powerful! In the case of equal numbers, our navy does not have the strength to fight against it at all"
" Are you saying that the Marquise of Ancarros was completely destroyed by just one face? Isn’t that an exaggeration, you know, the assault ship Marquis of Ancarros is a heavy tonnage warship with complete defenses. I have participated in six large-scale naval battles, the most glorious record, once survived under the siege of six enemy ships, the trauma is only the mast break, and this time, you told me that the entire ship was in just ten seconds It was torn to pieces, which is really unbelievable!" Roland Lefibere turned around with a bright gaze, his tone was very uncertain
Rousseau Wangdal held his head high and said without hesitation, "Although I don’t know what the opponent’s weapon is, at that moment, my subordinates thought they saw a boiling sea."
" The boiling sea? "Roland Lefibere's eyebrows are slightly frowning
"The sudden appearance of white smoke, like a muffled thunder-like roar, and countless fires are like the legendary thousand-eyed monster opening its eyes at the same time. Such a scene, if you don’t see it with your own eyes, it is absolutely unimaginable The... The Marquise of Ann Carlos was beaten into a hornet's nest. If it were not for the subordinates to decisively order to evacuate, I believe that there will be no more than 500 people who can come back alive!" Careful Roland Lefiberb Le noticed a tremor in Rousseau Wonka’s voice, which is a very rare place in his body, and it further proves the truthfulness of this statement
Rousseau Vandal, the admiral of the 3rd Assault Fleet of the Congolese Navy Fleet, upholds the good Rousseau family tradition, has a tenacious and brave style, and has a keen sense of naval operations that is different from ordinary people. He also proposed to take this opportunity to bring the navy's success. The main advocate for the promotion to the northwestern waters,
Because of its handsome appearance and a sense of vitality, it has the title of "advancing battleship" in the Congolese Navy,
Of course, this name is not used to address him in person. After all, the Rousseau family has served in the army for more than a hundred years and has always had a very good reputation. Among three consecutive generations, the Rousseau family has produced six generals, among them The two are participating in the battle of the Southwest that the Emperor himself enacted.
was silent for five minutes, Roland Lefibere took a deep breath, raised his head and drank the wine in his hand, looking at the adjutant who just stopped recording at the other end, "have all been recorded? All , Never leave a word!"
"Yes, Commander!" The adjutant stood up straight, put down his pen, and nodded affirmatively
"Okay, the serious investigation ends here! You can send the transcript first! The emperor’s investigator is still waiting outside." Roland Lefibere signed his name on the investigation report and asked The adjutant waved his hand, and the adjutant left with the transcript
Roland Lefibere looked at Rousseau Vandal, who was a little blue, and waved his hand. "Sit down, I know that such an inquiry is very unpleasant, but this is what the Emperor meant, this time The failure of temptation may shake the emperor’s entire plan"
" I also know this sounds incredible, but I can be sure, and more than a thousand sailors at the time can also prove that I did not lie." Rousseau Vandal sat down and sighed in frustration. He was very touched. The sharpness of the opponent’s weapon completely exceeded his cognition. In the face of such an enemy, he really didn’t know what tactics to use to fight against him. Even several times in the middle of the night, he appeared in a dream. It’s like opening white eyes, awakened by the terrifying sight of Wan Lei bursting out
"If there is no conclusive evidence to prove that the strategy of navy marching northward and army north-south attacking the Southwest Army is not feasible, His Majesty the Emperor will not abandon the original plan. Your Majesty's stubbornness and toughness, you should be very clear! I hope you said. It is true, otherwise, if it is to shirk responsibility and exaggerate the strength of the opponent at will, even if you are the surname Rousseau, your majesty the emperor will not be merciless!" Roland Lefibere said slowly, as the commander of the fleet. , He will not focus on the loss of a battleship,
What he wants to know more is the combat power of the Northwest Navy. The cold weather slowed the advancement of the Army. Coupled with the stubborn resistance of the old opponent of the Southwest Army, the Emperor just adjusted the combat strategy at the Imperial Conference.
"If the Army cannot make a breakthrough, then hand it to the Navy! If the Southwest Army is a stubborn stone, then we will kick it flying from behind!" With only one right palm of his own, he hit it forcefully On the strategic map, the aggressive gaze of Emperor Francois of Congo, like a lion that despises everything, makes every general participating in the conference feel his determination to win,
is 195 centimeters tall, weighs 99 kilograms, and the sturdy François. Anyone who sees him will feel as if looking up at a huge steel tower. There is no loose piece on his huge body. Cellulite, the spirit is always the kind of hard work, in his eyes full of killing intent and ambition, any general will feel a bit of chill, that is the momentum that makes all things admire, there used to be the new emperor and Franco of the Gaul Empire Wah made a comparison. If the Gaul emperor’s style is a soft and meticulous mass of cold water, Francois is definitely the fire that can ignite everything. The emperor just wants to unify the ambitions of Obaro. , Even the floating grass on the ground can be felt.
The young emperor who has just succeeded to the throne for 4 years has established his own position through his tough style. Even compared to the wise monarchs of the Gangfei Empire, the performance of this young emperor is remarkable
Point, when he was fifteen years old, as an illegitimate child of the royal family, he served as an officer of the capital garrison. He first determined to purge Tsunki within the army, thoroughly eliminating alcohol and gambling, even if the royal family was involved. 'S case,
He still has no softness. Therefore, the high-level generals who can't afford to provoke him,
Under the instruction of some members of the royal family, he was secretly transferred to the Bialaddin area as the garrison commander. This
It was a transfer with a malicious conspiracy. The Thanaladdin area is a dangerous zone known as a "robber den". The barren mountains lead to the rampage of bandits. It is generally treated as a repair opponent, although it is not said. But this private
The transfer of childbirth revealed too much news. Someone wanted to use the hands of external forces to prevent future troubles. The first day François arrived, he was greeted by bandits.
Thousands of robbers attacked the horse team and besieged the new military officer Franços. Although he finally fought back the robbers, François’s left arm was also slashed in the chaos because of improper handling and The wound is infected, and the limb can only be amputated.
Emperor Francois only had one hand. That's why everyone thought that this reckless royal illegitimate would be painful and annoyed. Finally, through the royal relationship, he transferred himself back from this dangerous zone. But no one thought that François, with only one arm left, not only did not choose to return to Beijing, but showed an unusually tough and iron-fist style.
He mobilized the garrison, witty and mercilessly launched a fierce attack on the bandits in his jurisdiction. He relentlessly uprooted the bandit organization that had colluded with the local aristocracy, and even more than 3,000 people who surrendered and awaited trial were uprooted. Tied to wood
All the shelves were burned to death. His cruel, ruthless and extermination approach drew the bandits in the Thanaladdin area into fear. For most of the Thanaladdin, this young heroic and aggressive new hero, Got it soon
The goodwill of many people was immediately hailed as "The Sword of Aladdin!"
At the age of twenty, François, who had served as the governor of the Aladdin region, returned to Kyoto and was promoted to the commander-in-chief of the imperial garrison
Man, granted the title of duke, controls one-third of the army of the Congolese Empire. At this time, his identity as an illegitimate son of the royal family was revealed. At the age of twenty-five, Francois has already established himself in the military. Firm prestige, at the end of the former emperor
In the years, with the support of military forces, François publicly suppressed the rebellion initiated by the two younger brothers in Kyoto, and cruelly executed more than 9,000 people who were related to the two princes. , And finally ascend to the emperor for himself
The position cleared the way. That month was called the "Bloodbath Moon". At the age of twenty-eight, François, who was at the peak of his body and energy, became the emperor in the cheers and attention of thousands of people. Throne.
This is a strong and experienced young emperor,
The stalemate in the Southwest War did not hit François. He quickly ordered the dominant navy to advance northward, looking for a point of force in the northwest, forming a two-sided attack! Roland Lafebule, who just returned from the Imperial Conference, followed the order of the Emperor to select a squadron of elite soldiers from the fleet to form a northward exploration squadron to fight the main force of the fleet northward.
Roland Lefibere’s gaze naturally fell on Rousseau Vandal, the admiral of the Third Assault Fleet, who was closely related to him. He did not expect that this trial would end in this way, Anka. The Marquise of Loss
The sinking of has become the laughing stock of the navy. "If it is sunk in a fierce battle, no one will say anything, but no one can convince it if it is sunk in a face-to-face!" The words are already in the north sea this time
It has spread in the army. If it were not for the special relationship between the two sides, Roland Lefibere would also think that Rousseau Vandal lied in order to shirk the responsibility of losing the war.
The arrogant Gangfei Navy doesn’t know that a typhoon is approaching
At the beginning of February, the fat man personally paid a visit to Julius Fort, who was in sorrow, and informed Julius Fort of his plan to send a navy to assist in the operation
" Is it true? If the Northwest Navy is willing to participate in the war, I can provide assistance! "The haggard-looking Julius Fort was suddenly shocked. The hard fight for one month has already made him lose a lot of weight. The temples are white, and the **** battle of tens of thousands of troops,
Although relying on the cold winter and favorable geographical conditions, the force of the Congolese and African imperial forces was barely held back, but the long winter is about to go away, and the pace of spring is getting clearer and clearer,
this morning. Julius Faubourg looked at the little green on an elm tree outside the window, and stared at it for ten minutes. For ordinary people, this is the message of spring and the beginning of the recovery of all things. For Julius Faubourg and For tens of thousands of Southwestern Army, this is the footsteps of the **** of death,
The battle damage of the Southwest Army is also expanding. Just this morning, Julius Faubourg silently pressed three requests for help on the desk. Two of the barriers have fallen, and only one is still insisting. The Southwest Army has reached a point where no reinforcements can be sent.
The arrival of Fatty brought him a glimmer of light. He now has absolute trust in Fatty. Of course, part of the responsibility of the body empire soldier is to blame for the Southwest, and part of it is because of the loss of the Southwest.
Shou, the northwest will also be difficult to preserve. This is selfish and public. The Emperor Gaul clearly grasped this point of him, so that he will hand over the military power of the southwest to him when he is in danger. There is the Julius family. People are in the imperial capital, and the emperor of Gaul is also
Don't be afraid that he will go to fight against Gangfei.
"I need absolute control of the Southwest Navy!" The fat man put forward his conditions straightforwardly. It is absolutely impossible to work for nothing,
Although the Southwest United Fleet suffered heavy losses on its own, they are combat ships, and a large number of logistics supply ships have been locked and locked in the naval port by the Congolese Navy. According to Fatty’s understanding, the number of these logistics ships is very large.
There are 112 transport ships alone, and there are almost one-third of its own naval logistics transport ships, and there are a large number of large docks for supplies and repairs. It is simply a coveted asset. The southwest is Gaul. Emperor
The country’s front line against the Congolese empire has never been stingy in preparation for this.
"No problem, I can give you everything related to the Navy." Julius Faubourg smiled like a fox saw a fat chicken,
" Is this an old fox? It’s too straightforward. "The fat guy almost thought that the other person was a fake, so refreshing, it’s definitely not the old fox’s style.
"But you have to give me something else in exchange!" The old fox immediately showed his bachelor nature as soon as his conversation changed. Sure enough, he is not a vegetarian. It is indeed a risk to seek a tiger's skin. The fat man is beating his heart.
The corner of Juliers Fort’s mouth hehe smiled, "I’m in a shortage of troops now, don’t you still have my 40,000 Southwest Army? You see that your road has been built, and the infrastructure is almost complete. You can just keep it for food. Just give me all the burden!"
" I wiped it, that's 40,000 hard labor! "The fat man shuddered, his eyes bulged, and he immediately felt ashamed of his innocence. Forty thousand people, this old man is not ashamed and can 'S opening! Forty thousand strong labors, how much is that?
"If the Southwest collapses, I believe the Northwest will also fall into a predicament! Besides, you won’t really sit back and watch the Southwest fall! It’s no good for you." Julius Faubourg said helplessly. Pat the fat man on the shoulder, like one
An old hooligan who just finished smoking second-hand smoke is comforting the younger generation who is still picking up cigarette butts." Look at the current situation and you will know that you and I are grasshoppers tied to the same rope, and no one can run away, so Give these prisoners to me, actually
Also fighting for the Northwest!
" Forty thousand prisoners are at least worth the price of two cities! "The fat man gritted his teeth and raised two fingers." I will give you the prisoners. You will take Valpalai and Fernan on the borders of southwest and northwest. Leave the city to me!"
"You really dare to open your mouth, Valparaí and Fernán are the most important areas on the sideline! With these two deadlocks, it is equivalent to opening the door to the southwest!" Julius Voorburg Looking at the fat man’s fingers uncompromisingly
" Can the Southwest be kept or not? "Fatty said dismissively" Don’t say that you don’t know your emperor’s mind, he is actually only using the strength of Gangfei to weaken you and me. If the Southwest falls , He will slaughter the entire Julius family immediately"
" It turns out ~IndoMTL.com~ you can see it! "The body of Juliers Fort trembles slightly, and it looks a lot older at once,
"Nonsense, this method of using the enemy to destroy the opponent is really awkward. "The fat man took a deep breath, looked out the window, and said slowly." Even if you took the Southwest, you repelled the Gangfei , I can assure you, Emperor Gaul
The first order is definitely to dismiss you, and then encircle you with an idle job with no real power! Even the internal strife of the Slavs, he can resist not sending you. As you can imagine, his hatred of you is not so big. To be honest, I am here.
I don’t know yet, where did you provoke your emperor! "
"It wasn't the fault of Theresa!" Julius Faubourg's face was reddened, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Although I am inconvenient to explain the specific situation at the beginning, it is definitely a considerable amount of damage!"
"How much is it?" The fat man looked curious, and even the old gangsters were ashamed and angry.
"She abolished her Royal Highness at the time!" Julius Faubourg spit out these words, and the whole spirit seemed to be a bit depressed. "In other words, His Majesty the Emperor cannot have a woman, and he has no heirs. In fact, Teresa is the cause!"
"I wipe it, this hatred is boundless!" The fat man was softened by the news. As a man, he was still the ruler of an empire. He was able to endure it for so long. No wonder he felt Gaul. The emperor’s style is a bit
