Power and Empire Chapter 1717: Gaul’s Tragedy (4)
La Arup Port.
The Tegel fleet entered the narrow port, the battleship swayed slowly to the shore, the huge hull squeezed into the channel, making a creaking sound, everyone felt their feet shake, and the battleship stopped steadily. Live, the heavy iron anchor fell into the sea from a high place, and waves of more than ten meters were swayed, the sails descended from the masts, like white clouds piled down from the sky, the sailors of the fleet eagerly scrambled. Falling from the deck to the ground, the first direction they ran must be the direction of the tavern. Only the best spirits can make them disappear from the exhaustion caused by the long voyage. After a feverish night, they are transformed from an imperial warrior. For ordinary people in daily life, until the fleet leaves the port again, there are people everywhere in the port, and the noisy voices come with the wind, everything looks so lively, a large number of goods are piled up on the port
"Captain, a navy fleet has arrived at the port!"
At the entrance of the port, a guard pushed open the door of the duty room. There were several people sitting inside. A young officer in the costume of the captain of the Imperial Guard Squadron stood up from inside and stood at the window and docked towards the port. The district took a look at "There are six naval warships docked this time, which are in full compliance with the intelligence. Among them, the dragon-class battleship is huge in size in the relatively low Dragon Tooth battleship group, which is very conspicuous.
"Okay, we finally waited!" The young officer said happily, leading several subordinates down the steps of the sentry box, and stepped to the place where the fleet was docked. The vigorous pace carried a unique rhythm in the fleet. The young man looked around, and finally stopped in front of the Dragon-class flagship. He saw a middle-aged man in the uniform of an imperial navy admiral walking on the baffle from the towering deck of the Dragon-class battleship to the ground. , With a delicate face, wearing a pair of gold-wire glasses, looks gentle, with a stack of drawings in his arms, and is talking to a uniformed navy staff member, and can vaguely mention these handlings. if!
"Is it a civilian in the fleet?"
The young guard officer hesitated. The admiral's uniform on the opponent also showed that the status of this civilian post is not simple, or it is someone who needs to be found. The young officer bravely stopped in front and cautiously. "Excuse me, this adult knows Commander Teague!" The well-mannered middle-aged admiral was taken aback unexpectedly, his eyes stopped on the other's guards, and then he nodded. "I am Teague. Well, I don’t know what your Excellency is?’ The young guard showed a smile on his face. He didn’t expect that this middle-aged man was really the Fleet Commander Tegel, and said quickly, “I’m Flinder of the seventh team of your Majesty’s direct team. I have been waiting here for two days by your majesty's order! , Your Majesty has instructions, if Commander Tegel arrives at the port, you are required to meet him directly! Please come with us! The carriage is ready outside" The young guard made a please gesture
"Go directly to see your Majesty! Okay, I understand!" Tegel nodded calmly, took a close look at the young man’s clothing, and after confirming that there was no problem, he followed the guard officer. Walking out of the port, a black carriage stopped there quietly. The sun shone on it and dragged out a long black shadow. Through the curtain of the carriage, it seemed that someone could be seen inside, with a bit of confusion, Teague. You opened the door nervously, and unexpectedly saw the person sitting in the carriage. It was Dustellenkai, Minister of the Navy.
"Big... My lord!" Tegel saw his immediate boss, his face pale and startled, and he quickly stood up and saluted.
"You are welcome, come up, I just arrived today! It is estimated that you will arrive today from time, but I really guessed it, but your Majesty appointed me to pick you up personally!" He happily waved his hand to this subordinate. The discovery of the New Sea Way made the Minister of the Navy appear very moved, because it meant that the Imperial Navy had a broader way to go, controlling the Obaron Inland Sea, and letting the empire The navy flag is flying in every corner of the Obaro Inner Sea. What a moving sight.
"Don't dare!" Tiegl stepped onto the carriage with a respectful expression, and sat down opposite Dusterenkai, with his hands on his knees, his face serious, and he did not dare to breathe. In the Imperial Navy, the Navy The prestige of Minister Dusterenkai is second only to His Majesty Falcon, the **** of war. The commander of the Imperial Navy, who is less than 30 years old, is called the "Imperial Sea Whale" by the enemy, which means that as long as he is in the sea, it must be The stormy sea, a series of brilliant achievements have been enough to prove that this man is a genius of the navy. Starting from the original 12 Dragon Tooth battleships, the Imperial Navy has changed from a regional navy to a superpower that spans two continents in just five years. The navy defeated the Gaul navy and destroyed the Congolese navy. Hundreds of warships in the general battle, demonstrated amazing command and decisive power,
With just one person, this sea whale made the navies of the two empires exhausted. He was chopped off his backbone one after another, and finally ended in ashes. This man is a legend of the imperial navy. The mountain that people feel suffocated when looking up, even Tegel, the upstart of the imperial navy, dare not act presumptuously in front of the imperial power minister
It seems that the atmosphere in the carriage is too serious. Dusterenkai raised his head and glanced deeply at Tiegel, who was nervous on the opposite side. He smiled and said, "After finally returning to the sea, he was asked not to return to base camp. Rather, it must be a bit resentful to turn directly to Laalup Port in the central and northern part of the city."
"Lord laughed!" Tigle looked embarrassed, and quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand, and said in a jīky tone, "The subordinate is a little nervous, but it's not resentment, but excitement! Although I don't know The reason for the adult's order, but the subordinates can also vaguely feel that this should be related to the Strands saved by the subordinates, but the subordinates did not expect that the meeting waiting for me here is the adult himself, which is no wonder The Admiralty did not explain the reason, because the appearance of the "sea whale", your lord, is enough to show that this action is extraordinary!"
"
"Excited? You fellow, when did you learn to flatter!"? Dusterenkai was surprised by this answer, his eyes became sharp as a knife, he floated from the opposite side, turned to the street outside the window, and said, "Don't be so nervous, anyway, you are also the commander of the fleet of our Imperial Navy in charge of the southern waters. , Wipe the sweat on his forehead. If this look is seen by His Majesty Falcon, I am afraid that I will laugh at the generals of our navy and lack the courage of the generals of the army!” Du Stellenkai tapped his fingers on the table, slowly The voice said, "Although I know you are blind, congratulations, this time you are blind"
" Really, the empire has a new naval plan! "Tiger's eyes are bright and his expression is moving." Originally, I thought that your Majesty wanted to see me. He should just ask about the Zhibruo Kaidao, but my lord is here. It is enough to show that it is not that simple. The subordinates dare to guess that the empire is going to enter the Zhibruo Seaway! As long as your Majesty gives an order, your subordinates are willing to lead the Southern Fleet to open this door for your Majesty!"
"Open this door?"
Du Stellenkai smiled slightly, glanced at him flickeringly, and said in a deep voice, "You did guess a part, but it is only a part. What is the opening of the gate? What your Majesty wants is behind this gate. World, you know! You and my eyes are still too superficial!
This is an opportunity for the empire, and it is also your opportunity. Your Majesty is aware of this discovery," Dustellenkai looked at Tigle in a daze, and suddenly asked, "I heard about you this time. The nobleman who saved a Strant, I don’t know if it’s true! "
"It's a woman named Angeli, who is said to be a member of the Strandhai royal family, and her father is a prince!" Tegel returned to his senses, hesitated, and hurriedly replied, "Strand" The specials are the maritime hegemons of the inland seas. If they can become the help of the imperial nation, it can reduce a lot of unnecessary troubles for the imperial navy to penetrate the inland seas. However, it seems that the Strands are not so easy to alliance, just dominate the inland seas. For them, we who control the offshore areas are not necessarily friends!"
" You’re right, the Strands won’t treat us as friends! But they don’t necessarily have to be mortal enemies. It’s difficult to find a breakthrough, but you accidentally saved the Strands this time. , Let His Majesty see a glimmer of hope. "Du Stellenkai nodded and said solemnly." You may not know that the Empire has lifted the restrictions on the armed merchant fleet. Soon, your southern waters will become the Empire's armed forces. The key assembly area of the merchant navy. Prior to this, the Admiralty hopes that your southern navy will fully control the Zhiburo Seaway!"
Du Stellenkai’s voice stopped and continued, “This task is very difficult. You should have confidence in yourself.” The Imperial Navy currently has only two official fleets, one is Ur Condor’s North Sea Fleet, the other one is you. Ulconda’s grass man who has never seen the sea before was appointed by His Majesty Falcon as the commander of the North Sea Fleet. No one in the entire imperial navy was optimistic. Even a naval commander like me who considers himself to be experienced thinks such an appointment is too joke"
"Facts have proved that His Majesty Falcon’s gaze has never been wrong. As a prairie man who has never seen the sea, Urkando has done something beyond everyone’s imagination."
Du Stellenkai took a deep breath, feeling a little, thinking deeply. At the beginning, he did not value the establishment of the North Sea Fleet. He used a dozen old warships to intervene in the war for hegemony in the North Sea in extremely dangerous situations. What do you think? It’s all a dead end. The result is that with extraordinary courage and wit, apart from the assistance of the Imperial Navy, they defeated Austin’s main navy in one fell swoop
Two years have passed. The Northern Fleet has no more than 1,000 sailors, less than 20 warships, and now has 6,000 sailors. There are more than 100 combat ships, and the number of combat armies that can be mobilized has reached 111,000. A powerful military cluster of thousands of people. In the northern cold region, the North Sea Fleet is the eyes of the Falcon Empire, frightening the entire northern cold region, just like the spokesperson of the imperial force in the cold region. This fully proves that the gamble is completely worthwhile.
Your Majesty appointed you as the commander of the second local fleet. I believe you can do just as well! Dusterunkai said that the two suddenly felt the carriage shook, only to realize that unknowingly, the carriage had entered a courtyard and stopped in front of a three-story villa. A man in black armor approached. Wei walked down the steps and gently opened the door of the carriage, and the light suddenly lit up.
Tiegl stood up solemnly. He knew that he was already standing at the glorious door. Tiegl looked at his chief "sir, can you tell me what to do?"
"I can’t guide you any more, because I don’t know! This is your own path." Dustrum Khai shook his head in the carriage, and said with a bit of self-deprecation, "If If you have to say it, it's like what His Majesty said to Ulcondo! Bring the courage and ambition that the Imperial Navy should have to create an era that belongs to you! "
Leaving the carriage and walking up the steps, Tiegl saw His Majesty Falcon reviewing a document on the second floor of the villa.
"Your Majesty!" Tiegel saluted with a nervous look. As a middle-level officer, he also had the first opportunity to face this imperial supreme alone, and an invisible coercion radiated from the imperial supreme body. His body was tight and straight, and even his breathing seemed a lot heavy. He felt that His Majesty Falcon’s eyes were as bright as a black starry sky but so clear. His eyes revealed profound wit, just a glance, it seemed that he could not hide anything. , The air of the king, makes people totally unable to raise the thought of resistance,
"Sit down, don’t be too restrictive, this time I’m looking for you, most of Dusterenkai should have already talked to you, I’m not talking nonsense, I want to ask you, about Fazernavy How would you rate his strength!" The fat man gave him a gesture
"Very general, not even as good as the non-Navy!" Tiegl thought for a while, and fully explained the process of fighting with the Fezer Navy that day, and gave a more pertinent evaluation, and even said, "If it is not the case of the Navy and the non-Navy Our army was hit hard, and the Congolese and African empire’s conquest of Faze will definitely not only stop with the strait"
"Well, it seems that some rumors are also possible!"
Fatty nodded. Ever since he started to pay attention to the Straight Broward Seaway, he has started to pay attention to Faze, who controls the other side of the seaway. The scope of the Faze Kingdom is not large, with a population of about 10 million, which counts as one. A big country, the army is strong, but the navy is not strong, but it is not very weak. The Zhibro Seaway controlled by Fezer is the key area of the entire southern Obaron Inner Sea, so the battle between the Congolese and Africa The reason for the failure was too complicated. Even the Strand Navy, which assisted the Congolese at the beginning, could not resist the pressure from all parties in the inland sea area and chose to retreat halfway through disreputable.
So the emperor Gangfei’s luck is really bad. In the north, he was overwhelmed by the Falcon Empire, and the already suppressed Pu Tao raised his head again. There is also a clown named Pu Tao Duke where he is alive and kicking. In the south, Fei Ze, who is far less powerful than his own, dared to come to grab his own woman,
A large-scale battle of the Southern Expedition by the Royal Drivers, but it became a joke under the pressure of all parties,
Waiting to wake up, Central Europe will not sit back and watch the Golden Seaway control in the hands of a Congolese country. Only when we are very helpless and indignant to lead the army northward, ready to restore the already very bad reputation of Congolese and Africa. However, he encountered an assassination from his most trusted escort, and the life course of a generation of emperors ended, and Gang Fei's national fortune was cut off.
"Well, I heard that you have arrested a Fazer naval officer, and hand him over to the Supervision Department! As for the Stranders, someone will be approached. During this time, let the fleet rest and there are new ones. The task is for you!"
The fat man pulled out a document from the table with the words “Top Secret” written on it. This is the real core of the empire’s maritime strategy. He handed the document to Tiegl, who was still in a daze. "Look at this document! This is the latest plan of the Imperial Navy. As the head of the Imperial Navy that is about to control the Zhibro Seaway, you need to know in advance! And be prepared for this war"
"War preparation... Is this?" Tiegl took the file and opened a glance, his eyes flashed with a touch of amazement, and he even couldn't believe it. . . . this is. . . . Seeing the blazing gaze, Tiegl kept his gaze intently, and the hand holding the file trembled slightly, as if what he was holding was not a file but a hot red soldering iron
" Your Majesty, is this true? ‘Tegel has an unconcealable movement on his face
"Yes, although I don't know what the future will be, but it can at least allow us to win an internal war!" The fat man nodded solemnly~ IndoMTL.com~ As the drafter of this document, he even more. It is clear that the huge consequences that this document may bring are no weaker than a huge earthquake
The first page of the “ ” document states that the Empire’s private armed fleet implements strategies.” In this document, the Empire will once again switch to the configuration of armed merchant ships privately. All armed merchant fleets belonging to the Empire only need to report to the Imperial Navy. Ministry application, you can get a privateer certificate issued by the empire,
With this certificate, armed merchant ships have the right to attack, plunder, and even destroy enemy ships of the Empire,
It is conceivable that the number of armed merchant ships in the empire will increase sharply with this policy, and tens of thousands of armed merchant ships will flood into the inland waters of the Zhibro Haidao
" It’s really. I can’t describe it in words... "Even Tegel can’t imagine what it was like
" It’s no wonder that even Master Dusterenkai, who has experienced countless cruel naval battles, can only say that he brings all the courage and ambition of the Imperial Navy!
It’s impossible to describe "Tiger took a deep breath, and the look on Dusternky’s face and the vague words flashed across his mind when he got out of the carriage." Indeed, with your Majesty Compared with this plan, what I and Master Dustrum have seen is still too superficial. The super battlefield of tens of thousands of warships is really a big deal that only His Majesty Falcon can have, (to be continued) [This text is provided by Qihang Update Team@极度懒人] If you like this work, you are welcome to "m" to vote for recommendations, monthly passes, subscriptions, rewards, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
