Power and Empire Chapter 1910: Who is the bait (1)
The white flag of surrender hung innocently on the top of the tower at the highest point of the calm Port of Barola, representing that the city has changed ownership, and the transport ship full of soldiers entered under the **** of thirty dragon-tooth warships. The port, taking over the port’s facilities, all the port soldiers were concentrated. After finding that resistance was hopeless, the city’s top leader, the Marquis of Palouse, chose to surrender. He stopped on the sea and set up the imposing imperial fleet and quickly dispatched a land battle. The infantry took over the city, suppressed the chaos in the city due to the chaos, and controlled the city. When everything calmed down, it was already afternoon.
The Marquis of Palouse, who was waiting for the fall, squatted halfway in the office where he was detained. With a calm expression, he took out some of his companions, and cautiously threw them into the stove in front of him, watching the letters quickly turn black in the heat of the flames. It cracked and turned gray, and Palouse’s eyes revealed a trace of ease,
These letters are all ping people's letter companions, valuable documents have long been taken away by the Falcon Army,
The other party asked for information about the city’s port. Parus had prepared it in advance. The other party really didn’t value the personal companion in the office drawer. Parus was grateful for that.
The Imperial Military Affairs Department has already closed the affairs of the Imperial Navy, so there is no substantive secret information to be issued. On the contrary, the private letters of some colleagues who are still working hard for the recovery of the Imperial Navy can better reflect It is the movement of the Gangfei Navy that still has no choice to give up under the ice!
For example, in one of the most recent letters, my colleagues enthusiastically mentioned the contents of the Strand Sea State’s assistance in the reconstruction of the Imperial Navy, and they also proposed the steps for the reconstruction of Strand in more detail. The navy council first allocated thirty large warships to the empire as a basis.
Within one to two years, in the inner seas controlled by the Strands, the Imperial Navy can obtain assistance from the inner sea countries. In order to avoid the harassment of the Falcon Empire, 110 battleships of the Empire will be delivered to these inner seas. The construction of the country involves an amount of up to 17 million. This is also an order that other inland sea countries cannot refuse. This is also one of the willingness of inland sea countries to suddenly change their attitudes. Although the prospects for business with the Falcon Empire are bright, But there is no better way to get money directly, and there is no need to offend the Strands, the overlord of the inland sea. As for who won the final victory in this war, the impact on the inland sea countries will not be great.
Throwing the last letter in his hand into the stove, Parus secretly sighed in relief, stood up calmly, tidyed up his navy uniform up and down, his expression was very serious, his body over half a hundred years old slightly turned towards The burning stove paid a navy salute. It may be the last time I salute as a non-Navy officer.
The brutality of the Falcon Empire Army is famous. I heard that most of the captured officers will be executed
"I hope they can keep their promises and basically do what they promised." I agreed to surrender with the preservation of the city. The other party agreed very happily. The number of troops entering the city was not many, about 4,000. There is no sign of turmoil, and I cherish the destruction of my reputation for a lifetime, but the headquarters of the Imperial Navy has been kept
port, dock. Shipyard, when Parus thinks about this, his eyes are shining,
As long as these are still there, there is hope for the Imperial Navy. I only hope that one day, the banner of the Imperial Navy will rise from here again. At that time, even if you can’t see it, you will smile!
The last salute is to pay tribute to a disaster-ridden country, a young and tenacious little emperor, a colleague who is still working hard in a difficult situation, and an imperial navy waiting for the flames to rebirth in the dark!
"Tata!" There was a mess of footsteps outside. A Falcon navy officer with a team of soldiers pushed open his door
"Is this Lord Palouse?" Officer Mu Qing looked at him, his expression unkind
"Yes! I am Parus!" Parus looked at all the letters burnt to ashes, made the final preparations, turned around and nodded and said,
"What are you?" Yang Guan looked at the flames in the stove with cold eyes, his eyebrows frowned slightly,
"Some personal letters!" Parus did not blink his eyes,
"So there is a suspicion of violating the rules! Your Excellency!" Officer Mou Qing's tone was a bit angry. Regarding the negligence of the previous search, he finally chose to be silent. I hope these are some ordinary letters! Officer Mou Qing retracted his gaze and waved his hand behind him, "Come on, please come with us!"
"Where? If it's a execution, it won't be so troublesome, just solve it here!" Palouse calmly added a few sticks of dry wood to the fireplace and patted the ashes on his body. Very good, both Burned out, you can go on the road with peace of mind! In the heaven above, you might be able to see something delightful!
"Execution? We don't have such a tradition! Someone above wants to see you!"
The Falcon naval officer was not interested in Parus’ disregard. He made a gesture, and the soldiers behind him immediately came over murderously. Under the **** of more than a dozen Falcon Empire soldiers, Parus Walking towards the huge fleet of ships docked in the port, the entire port is filled with soldiers lined up, wearing black armor, carrying the rumored curved crossbow on their backs, wooden barrels full of clear water, food, and vegetables. A large wheel crane like a long-armed giant was hoisted from the port warehouse onto the ship’s deck, and the number of ships entering the port was as many as ⑩ or more. On the sea, some of the Falcon Empire’s warships did not move.
"My Port of Barola! The enemy is looting!"
Parus’s face became very dignified. Such a large number of ships must be the main navy force of the Falcon Empire. According to the Strant’s understanding of this sea area, it is impossible to be completely ignorant of this. But from beginning to end, the Strand Navy seemed to have evaporated from the world. Why is this happening? Could it be that the entire southern coast of Congo has become a strategic abandoned child? But this is Barola, Barola has enough supplies and all equipment to support the enemy to continue northward. The Falcon Empire has obtained this, which is equivalent to opening the door to the southern coast of Congo. It’s really hateful, what are the Strands? How did you plan? "Parus walked, his hands clenched into fists, his fingers plunged deeply into the palms of his hands, and his heart hurts!
At this moment, the people in front suddenly stopped, and the escorted officer saluted another officer in front who seemed to be taller, "My lord. I've brought it!"
"Well, you have worked hard, let's go down!" The officer nodded,
At the stage of the giant dragon-class battleship, a taller Falcon naval officer took over the task of escorting Parus and took him to the battleship with four guards. Deck, where General Paluska, a young man in the uniform of the Falcon Empire Navy General, was talking to an adjutant next to him.
The young man looks very handsome. The black navy uniform is worn on Mou Qingren. There is not only an aristocratic temperament but also a sturdy temperament that belongs to the perennial life at sea. This is! Commander-in-chief of the Falcon Empire Navy, Dusterenkai! Parus' pupils shrank unnaturally. As a senior officer of the Gangfei Navy, how could he forget the enemy navy commander who cut off the strength of the Gangfei Navy and drove into the boundless **** with one blow.
The Imperial North Sea Navy was almost completely wiped out in his hands, and the Imperial Southern Navy suffered three-quarters damage in his hands. The brilliant record is unbelievable. It is only 30 years old and is already the most well-deserved navy. , In the hands of the Falcon Imperial Navy’s opponent, this good-looking young man has a nickname that is fascinating
"Navy Slaughter Dusterenkai!"
It is said that more than a thousand warships were destroyed in his hands! One thousand,
Even the old man of Parus feels terrified. What is the concept? A warship armed to the teeth is not a private board for a sea surging with a sailor of less than 30, nor is it a large merchant ship of 50 people, but a battleship. No country will be stingy to cram people up, even if the smallest assault ship is fully staffed, "people are counted as "a thousand ships are ⒓ million people,"
In front of me, it was such a demon who sent ten thousand souls into the depths of the sea. Parus raised his eyebrows. I had a bad feeling, this demon wanted to see me? Efforts to suppress the inner chaos, he saw Mou Qingren in a black uniform walking towards him, and beads of sweat appeared on Parus’ forehead,
"Your Excellency is the guardian of Barola?"
Du Stellenkai stopped, looked up and down, stretched out a hand to him, and said condensedly, "I know that the decision to surrender is very difficult. Your Excellency made sacrifices to protect the city and its residents. The courage is admirable and I am glad we have the same idea. Our goal is to occupy the southern coast, not to destroy. The bombardment of Barola is not in line with our combat goals! The killing of civilians is not our habit!"
" It’s not a habit to slaughter civilians. It’s really interesting words. Hearing your excellency said that, the tens of thousands of people in Kyoto who died under the bombardment of your fleet last year would cry! "Parus rolled his eyes in disdain, his face calm Said
"Presumptuous! Speaking in this tone, are you looking for death?" The officer standing behind angrily drew out the coldly shining war knife from his waist, and placed the cold biting blade on Parus' neck. As long as Dustrenkay makes a look, Parus’s head will be separated from the body
"Go ahead, I don't want to live anymore!"
Palouse didn’t know where his courage came from, and he was full of anger. As a member of the Imperial Navy, looking at the navy that had almost been expelled, no one would feel good in his heart. At first, he was not the Imperial Southern Navy. Ordered to go north, the sails of the battleship cover the sky, and the young admirals of the fleet are so energetic.
Parus was staying at the base camp because of his age and physical discomfort. The other admirals were full of longings for going north. At the banquet before the fleet set off, thousands of people raised their glasses neatly and chanted that they were not the navy. The song "The Son of the Wave" shook the roof of the hall, the lingering sound around the beams, the battle in the sea area of Kyoto, the southern navy was unfavorable in combat, and defeated again and again, so that even Imperial Kyoto was poisoned by the enemy fleet, and the entire Imperial Navy became a laughing stock,
The cheerful faces have sunk into the depths of the sea, sleeping with their beloved warships, and will never come back again,
Tens of thousands of elite naval forces died in battle. Not only did the navy survive in name, it also left the city full of crying women, children, old and young. The empire gave up the navy and also gave up Barola. Only old people like Parus are still standing by! The old days disappeared like smoke. Only when you dreamed back at midnight, you can see you again. The empire issued an order to seal the sea. The once prosperous port gradually became very few ships. The surface of warships became the world of fishing boats. Parus sometimes really I hope I die overnight, die in that dream, and never wake up. If I really die here, Parus might really die with a smile, die in the navy base camp, and die in a place where I am dreaming of my colleagues
"What are you doing, put your weapons away!" Dusterenkai waved his hand and smiled bitterly at the corner of his mouth. People, this time you invited you here because of a company. We have just arrived on the southern coast of Congo, and there are many misunderstandings for us." And we think that you have been guarding the Port of Barola for a long time. If you temporarily change it, it will cause unnecessary For the panic, what we need is a stable Port of Barola, and only you can do it"
"Of course, your Excellency can refuse. In that case, we only need to take other measures!" Dusterenkai said with a cold face, "We are soldiers. When necessary, we can only use military means to solve this problem. , I believe you do not want to see this too!"
"You are a demon!"
Parus’s eyes are thin, bloodshot, staring at Dusterenkai in front of him, clenching his fists with both hands, his body trembling with anger,
You have lost your reputation by choosing to surrender. If you help the Falcon Empire to manage Barola, you will be a traitor worthy of the name!
But the situation in front of him makes him unable to refuse. The other party’s words are not empty threats. Rumors about the brutality of the Falcon Empire are not uncommon in Obaro. It is said that in the north of Obaro, Gaul under the iron hoof of the Falcon Empire The empire has killed tens of millions of people. In order to absolutely control the city, the other party will definitely use violence and force.
As a last resort, Parus chose to agree and took the first step towards degeneration,
ordered the people to send away the strong-character Gangfei navy general. Dusterenkai stayed on the deck for a while and then returned to his lounge,
rubbed the swollen temples with both hands, relaxed and leaned on the bench, closed his eyes, and heard the sound of the sea beating the ship's side. For this assault, the Imperial Navy set off from Lombard Island and headed north secretly It took nearly a hundred miles to reach the port of Barola in a vertical line. The battle was considered successful, and the control of the city was obtained without a single shot.
Of course, the pirate leader who surrendered was indispensable. It was the pirate leader who provided the quickest route. It was also the pirate leader who elaborated on the defensive weaknesses of Silola Port. The defender of Barola was Parus from the Gangfei Navy. Marquis, an old man who is too cautious and sentimental, lacks determination, and is too emotional. There are only a dozen small warships in the garrison fleet, but they are still in disrepair for a long time, and the ship is filled with holes. On the contrary, the dock facilities of the other party are quite complete. As the former headquarters of the non-Southern Navy, those idle docks can be used immediately by tearing off the seals. If a certain amount of pressure is applied, according to the opponent's personality, they will definitely choose to surrender. . . .
. . . The success of Barola’s surprise attack proved the value of the pirate leader. No admiral of the naval squadron has shown dissatisfaction with the pirate leader who he values.
Then, the next plan can be implemented! Who is the fish? Who is the bait? It will be clear soon. Dusterenkai got up from the chair, opened the drawer on the table, scanned the secret letter inside, hesitated, and shouted out the door, "Come on!"
"Commander" an attendant pushed in from outside
The sea outside the port of Barola in the dark
A small assault ship with swollen sails is carefully turning out from the side of an island. The prow of the assault ship is the statue of the Sea Goddess. A young man with a hood is standing there, holding his hands. A long tubular second-generation observation mirror, looking towards the port of Barola in the distance,
"Wow,
The bow squeezed on the water, like a sharp knife cut open, and the white waves rolled to both sides, and the sails of the assault ship were lowered. The speed was not fast, and it was almost sliding on the sea, quietly, the whole assault ship There is no light, and the outside side decks are all dyed black. On the dark sea, it is like an unnoticeable dark ghost, even if it enters the range of 50 meters, it may not be able to be seen.
"Captain~IndoMTL.com~Falcon Navy thing, can you really see Barola inside and out at a glance?" A curiosity asked the young man holding the sight glass in front of him
"What do you know, what is this thing, this is a sight glass! A treasure that you can't buy on the black market! Even in the Navy of the Falcon Empire, only senior officers above the admiral of the squadron have it. "The young man put down the sight glass with dissatisfaction. The sight glass in his hand has complicated decorative patterns on the surface, and there are golden gilt in some places. It seems that it is far better than a combat tool as an ornament. In fact, it is indeed A kind of decoration. When the Falcon Empire and the Strand Sea State were in alliance, at the request of the Strand Sea State, they sent three second-generation hornets to the Strands. The Strands made this Three mirrors are the highest-level combat equipment,
"Captain, look, there seems to be light everywhere"
The sailor suddenly pointed to the dark and secluded sea in the distance and shouted. It was Barola’s direction. Sure enough, there were a few faint highlights. Mou Qingren quickly raised the sight glass and looked in the direction of the sailor’s fingers. , Three fires showing the word of character, the flames lasted less than ten minutes, and then quickly extinguished
"Start sailing, we can go back. When the Falcon Navy arrives in Barola, it will move north soon. They would not have thought that everything is under our control." Mou Qingren put down the looking glass in his hand. Slap on the mouth with unsatisfactory intentions, a sly fierce light appeared in his eyes.
