Power and Empire Chapter 2491: Falcon falling (11)
The bright sun shines on the carved windowsill, the wind blows through the pink red stamens of the blooming Lovi flowers, the imperial fleet docked in the direction of the port is bathed in autumn, the quiet island, the quiet air, and the mountain flowers in midsummer. Brilliant, large expanses of greenery are visible in the distance, and some chic and huge fiery red coral rockeries stand out from the greenery shaded woods, the streets full of rose bushes, and a large carpet of soft grassland. , The mountain gurgled down a silver-belt-like small waterfall. Below the waterfall, there is a pond about 400 square meters wide. On the pond, there are water lilies and water lilies floating, and pink lotus and white duckweed flowers are dotted with stars. In the meantime, if it weren't for the naval commander-in-chief Du Stellenkai who appeared in front of him with a serious look, the fat man felt like he was in a landscape painting.
"Your Majesty, Fei Shan sent a message back. Just yesterday, a support army had already set off along the sea route. After receiving the order, Valisian sent people to chase after him. This morning, the chasing fleet found the target and transported the fleet. Attacked by an unknown fleet, seven transport ships were sunk and six were damaged. The two escorts of the Dragon Tooth warship, one was sunk, and the other suffered heavy damage. If it were not for the emergence of the search fleet to scare away the enemy, the consequences would be disastrous. "Du Stellenkai's voice stopped." His face looked ferocious. If yesterday I felt a little dissatisfied with the emperor's instincts, now it's another matter.
"What do you think?" The fat man retracted his gaze from a distance and looked at Dustlenko,
"The enemy came well prepared, and the ambush circle was set, and the navy flag was not raised, so I can’t tell, I only know that it should come from the south. I have ordered the navy to look for it and all ports along the southern coast have also set it up. Going to the eyeliner, as long as the other party does not float up from the sea, there will always be clues left."
Du Stellenkai’s eyes flashed coldly, his fingers clenched into fists, the navy’s transport fleet encountered an attack, and even the enemy didn’t even know who the enemy was. He was so embarrassed and embarrassed in front of the emperor. What Dusterenkai found it difficult to forgive was that the attacker was a fully armed fleet, not a two-ship sampan, the Imperial Navy’s eyes were blinded! Bastard, have these guys started the age of peace! Although only the transport fleet was attacked, the necessary equipment was not lacking. After all, it was the fleet that was going to the combat area. The transport ships were equipped with two rows of four-door Thor, and two full-fired Dragon Tooth escorts. In terms of firepower, it is no longer inferior to the combat power of an old-fashioned sailing warship group. It is not easy for anyone who wants to attack. It can cause such a huge loss to the transport fleet in a short period of time.
" Pay close attention to the south. Now that they have succeeded, the other party will definitely let out the wind."
The fat man stretched out the palm of the fat hòu and patted the angry minister of the navy on the shoulder. With the power of a country’s navy, the entire southern coastline was suppressed. The Imperial Navy had already tried its best. In fact, this cannot be entirely blamed on naval intelligence. The absence of the 2,000-mile inland waters, how could it be possible that more than two hundred warships in the imperial area can be fully covered
Even if all the warships of the Imperial Navy's fleet are deployed, it is only a small part of this sea area of thousands of miles. The deterrent power of the fleet is mainly reflected in the fixed ports, which solidify the vast sea into one The battle for the port, and the use of the port as the support point, to achieve control of the nearby seas, this is the main tactic of the current maritime war. The attack on the transport fleet may not be a warning to the Imperial Navy. Once the enemy’s The navy fleet has abandoned the original combat mode, so even if the Imperial Navy is strong, there is no good way to deal with it for the time being.
"Or, you can know something from other channels!"
Fatty seems to have thought of something. He raised his eyebrows slightly. The dispatch of the naval fleet is not as simple as an order. With so many sailors, no one knows how long they will be floating at sea, so the material reserve is It is necessary. Weapons and arrows can be kept in the warehouse for a long time. Can food and vegetables also be kept for a long time? No, if you can start from the merchant side, you should get the answer soon. The navy of that country recently left the port, and it should be clear soon
" Your Majesty, there is an unsympathetic request from your subordinates! "Du Stellenkai suddenly knelt down in front of the fat man on one knee,
"You want to mobilize the fleet to retaliate?" The fat man looked at him with a weird face. How could he not know the nature of this navy commander. After suffering such a big loss this time, how could he just swallow it like this, but if Being stunned by revenge, or attacking a transport ship this time, is itself a lure trap. . . . . .
" Six hundred navy sailors were killed in battle, and there were more than 3,000 casualties on the transport ship. It was impossible for subordinates to turn a blind eye, and if the Imperial Navy could not respond within a short period of time, the southern coast would not be so. So suppressed." Dusterenkai looked firm and said in a certain tone
"You don’t need too many warships, just ask your Majesty for permission to draw 20 out of the 30 Dragon Tooth warships currently repaired in the port."
"Twenty ships? Did you take a risk?" Fatty's eyes flickered. Dusterenkai's firm attitude made Fatty have to consider the navy's emotions.
Dustrenko said, "Istan Seas, as well as the three squadrons that have previously been ordered to approach. The opponent can get a blow from the gap between the three fleets. It proves that it is impossible to encounter by chance, but very carefully. Arrangements, wind direction, currents, and even the position of our fleet, if you want to do these, the other party should have been lurking in the waters of Istanbul for a period of time before launching such a precise ambush. The subordinates suspect that the other party has a presence in southern Istanbul. There is a hidden port, and the enemy is in the dark. If you can’t find it quickly, the entire Istanbul Sea is insecure."
"Your guess is likely to be correct. The southern part of Istanbul has already been controlled by local forces, and there are ports that have been invested in the six southern countries. It’s not surprising that the fat man took a deep breath. "Grant your request, I Will let Valisian fully cooperate with naval operations"
The naval battle is the world of Dustellenkai. Although he is good at strategic layout, it is about naval battles. In front of him, Dustellenkai is the leading commander of the empire, and it can even be said that the entire Obaro continent is second to none. Admiral, and now it seems that Dusterenkai’s focus is still calm
"Then, my subordinates will leave in the afternoon!" Du Stellenkai stood up, respectfully saluted the fat man, turned and left the room
The corridor outside the door is already full of officers from the Imperial Navy. Their silent and heavy breathing sounds like the sound of wind blowing in some claustrophobic corridors. Seeing Dustellenkai from the end of the corridor When the emperor came out of the room, he stood up neatly and raised his hand in salute, "Commander-in-Chief!"
"What are you doing here, is this still like the Imperial Navy? The advances and retreats are lost, and there are naval military regulations in the eyes?"
Du Sternkai grunted coldly, and the officers were so scared that they silenced their voices. Du Sternkai, the undefeated commander of the Imperial Navy, had the prestige in the navy second only to the emperor. In the eyes of the navies of various countries, Dustrum Khai is even more terrifying than the Falcon Emperor. The Congolese Navy, the Strand Navy, and the Feshan Navy, these powerful existences that used to be huge ships galloping the waters, are all affected by this The commander-in-chief of the Falcon Empire’s navy cut down the altar one by one. The soul of the Falcon Empire’s navy is now the honorific title of the imperial navy minister in the entire Inland Sea area
"Don’t get me wrong, the commander-in-chief, the subordinates are gathered here, just want to know the first time, did your majesty agree?"
Fourth Squadron Commander Stephen stood out from the crowd. Here he is the tallest, and he has the background of the Central Army directly under the emperor. The naval transport fleet was attacked, with a total of more than 3,000 people. Casualties, for the proud imperial navy officer group, having received such a loss after determining that they have obtained control of the inland sea is like a slap in the face of the entire inland sea area, in the history of the imperial navy. On, there was never such a humiliation. This time, even if the entire Istanbul Sea is turned over, these **** must be found out.
"What do you agree with?" Dusterenkai glared.
" It is natural to kill these **** and avenge our dead brothers! Although the location of the attack is more than 500 miles away, if you know the other side's back path, you may not be able to stop it!" Stephen replied bitterly Said,
Du Stellenkai rubbed his temples helplessly, his eyes swept across the **** faces,
Now he knows why His Majesty the Emperor has such a helpless expression. Facing the subordinates who want revenge, it is really difficult to say the rejection. Looking at these imperial navy pillars, he said in silence for a while. "This is a rush operation. In order to enter the Istanbul waters as soon as possible, the Dragon-class battleships stayed behind. Twenty Dragon Tooth battleships have prepared combat supplies for 15 days before 4 pm, waiting for orders!"
"Yes!" The captains of the Dragon Tooth battleship cheered. On the contrary, the captains of the Dragon-class battleship seemed a lot depressed. There is no way, the Dragon-class battleship has the most powerful firepower in the empire and is called a sea fortress. , But the speed is far not as fast and light as the Dragon Tooth battleship came. At 4 o’clock in the afternoon, standing on the window sill on the second floor, the fat man turned his back on his back, watching the twenty Dragon Tooth battleships slowly separate from the port fleet, the white giant With no big sails being pulled up, the triangular bow of the battleship drew a huge arc on the sea. With three ships as a queue, they departed from the port and gradually disappeared into the distance.
Coming back from the balcony, the fat man sat down at the desk and spread out a report sent by the Supervision Department. It was a report on the rapid recovery of the business alliance gold ticket in the southern region. The empire acquired tens of millions of gold coins from the business alliance business. The news of the ticket has been released. The nine major business groups in the south collectively expressed their support for the gold ticket of the business alliance. The value of the gold ticket of the business alliance that has been hit hard has soared. Although there is still some distance from the full value stage, it is already Back to the original value of one-half, at most one month, it can be fully restored, and the Fazer double-headed Eagle Merchant Group, which is the key target of the empire, remains silent on Faize’s side, which really surprised the fat man. In addition, the double-headed eagle merchant group is just a piece of the Fazer royal family. Now this chess piece has lost its value. The Fazer royal family still favors it. Why?
The southern part of the Istanian Empire, Port Suvis, this port extended from a small fishing village on the coast of Istanbul, it is difficult to find even on the chart. Large swaths of waves are surging and rolling."Here When the waves are the gentlest, they are more than one meter high, and when they are the strongest, they are more than five meters. A curved diagonal line dragged out from the port to the north is a coral reef that is more than ten miles long and penetrates the sea, like a barrier. The line greatly weakened the impact of the waves. Suvis, which means coral in Istanbul, the Harvey Kingdom fleet that succeeded in the attack docked in the semi-concave cliff behind this coral chain, and the protruding cliff blocked it. The wide bay inside, so that the docked ships in it can’t be seen,
There are more than 50 ships in the Harvey Kingdom fleet docked in the fjord. During the attack, the Imperial Army counterattacked and sank 7 ships. Now there are more than 40 ships docked in the fjord. Harvey’s The bow and tail sections of the warship are upwards. The wide deck in the middle and the rounded hull look like a month and a half. Among them, a dozen of them are huge in size, which is significantly higher than other super-large warships. It's like the bravest war wolf in the wolf pack. The body is tall and the pressure is pressing, and the tall bridge is like a sword, floating in the fjord~IndoMTL.com~like a huge whale on the sea
The front and both sides of these giant warships are exposed with a thick and long iron pipe. This is the Trident-class warship of the Harvey Kingdom that has only been equipped with the Navy in the last 30 years, except for traditional weapons such as large and large slings. , It is also equipped with the black burning liquid collected by the Harvey Kingdom in the east coast area. Harvey people call it the Vulcan Spear. From a distance, it looks like the three front ends of a fork.
In a quiet port, the commander of Harvey Navy, Admiral Robbennis, who is thin and ugly, presses the battle damage report on the table with an ugly face
The attack on the imperial transport fleet was originally supposed to be a very easy thing, but I did not expect that the counterattack power erupted by the imperial transport fleet was really amazing. Six transport ships of the Imperial Army sank and seven were damaged. He even attacked an Imperial Dragon's Tooth-class battleship, which looked brilliant. Who knew that such a battle was the result of more than 1,000 casualties in the Harvey Naval Fleet. Four naval battleships were sunk, including a precious one. The Trident-class battleship of China, and 21 different damaged battleships came. This is also called victory? Admiral Robbennis’s mouth is bitter, I am afraid it is a tragic victory at best, the transport fleet is so difficult to fight, how terrible is the main fleet of the Imperial Navy!
"Is this plan really realizable?" Robbennis' gaze fell on a blue-covered document on the table, on which was written "Combat Name: Falcon Fall" (to be completed) Continued) [This text is provided by Qihang Update Team Leader @刘靖] If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly pass.
