Power and Empire Chapter 3849: Bleeding Star and Moon (4)

The setting sun is bloody. On the outskirts of the capital of Aden, there is a U-shaped inner bay where the emerald color meets the blue coast. It is the location of the Aden naval base camp Roblin Port. Standing on the terrace of the naval base camp building conference hall, a man wearing the Aden navy The middle-aged man in uniform looks at the sunset light with only an arc on the horizon, and suddenly there is a kind of excitement to see the age of a superstar is about to rise

"My lord, you can't go in" untimely noise came from the gate of the conference hall

"I have important information to ask"

"Your Excellency Edita is holding an important meeting, no one except your majesty..."

The door of the "pop" conference hall was forcibly pushed open by a gray-haired old man, his eyes fell coldly in the hall, and the Admirals of Aden around a huge chart of the Gulf of Aden raised it in surprise. His face finally stopped on the middle-aged man who turned from the terrace. The middle-aged man smiled awkwardly. His eyes were deep concave, and his long, messy but elegant linen hair gave a special kind of Temperament, although he has entered middle age, he can still be handsome and determined when he is young,

"My lord, we really can't stop..." The navy headquarters attendant who was pushed through the door was at a loss, and his face was embarrassed and he didn't know what to do

"Okay, let's go down. The pace of the old Minister Gudeya is not something you can stop." The middle-aged man raised his hand inadvertently, and the one who broke in was Aden. The legend of the navy, the former commander-in-chief of the Aden navy, Gude Yage, his own teacher

"Idesa, I heard that the imperial navy raided the entrance of the Gulf of Aden and is now attacking the city of Ansiadin. Please immediately dispatch a fleet to reinforce Ansiadin. I'm afraid it will be too late and everything will be too late!" The old man stared at it. He said hurriedly

"Teacher, we have received the news." The Minister of the Navy of Aden and the commander-in-chief of the Navy, Idesa, was silent for a few seconds. Under the piercing gaze of the old admiral, his gaze shifted subconsciously to one side and said, "Aden Anxi is away from the Gulf. The exit is too close, even if the rescue fleet is sent now, it can’t stop the imperial navy’s attack'

"What do you mean by "Unable to stop!"

"Isn’t there a fourth squadron to protect the Aden Anxi? Although they may not be able to stop the imperial navy from invading, they can at least hold the imperial navy for a period of time. If the reinforcements are timely, it is completely too late," Gudeya said. , While looking at the admirals in the hall, he unexpectedly saw that the admiral of the Fourth Guard Squadron who was guarding Aden Anxi was suddenly there,

Gudeya's voice stopped abruptly, and the whole person stayed there for a while, completely unable to react

"Why is the Admiral of the Fourth Guard Squadron in the royal capital? Then who is in Anxi, Aden! Yes, or none at all?"

"There is currently no fleet in the surrounding area of ​​Aden and Anxi, and it is in need of the **** promotion ceremony. The **** fourth fleet has been ordered to return to the capital this morning. "Isadi was a little embarrassed, hesitated and said again." This is His Majesty himself. The order was given, and the news of the bombardment of Aden’s Gulf of Aden by the emperor’s army was impossible to conceal itself. It was only known two hours in advance or two hours later to know the difference. This is already the case, and the teacher’s anger is not helpful. Students can guarantee that the **** debts owed to me by the Imperial Navy will be repaid soon. As a member of the Aden Navy, I will certainly do this even if I sacrifice everything. This is related to the honor of the Aden Navy. It is the face of your majesty, please don’t forget the shame of the new moon of Masi, my Aden navy will definitely find it back!"

"Masi Crescent"

Gude Yage's complexion suddenly became extremely ugly. Mas Crescent was the largest naval port in the east of the Kingdom of Aden. In the raid more than half a year ago, the Imperial Navy bombed at Mas Crescent Port. It paralyzed Mas Crescent Harbor for more than three months, and half of the decades of naval operations were destroyed. At that time, the commander-in-chief of the Aden Navy was sitting at Mas Crescent in person, Gudeya Ge. Because of this incident, Gudeyago resigned from the post of commander-in-chief of the Aden navy and retired from the top of the Aden navy. For the Aden navy, this represented the end of the once tyrannical and invincible naval rule of Aden. The eastern seas began to become the imperial navy and The battlefield of the fierce competition of the Aden Navy

"This matter was planned by your majesty himself. The main navy forces will deal a devastating blow to the imperial navy when the imperial navy is at its peak. !" With a sharp look, Edith walked to the chart of the Gulf of Aden spread out on the table of the conference hall chief. On this chart, there are some models of small boats, which represent the scale of the Aden Navy. At the position of the royal capital, six larger models were crowded together. Edith picked up another larger model from the table and placed it in the sea area of ​​the royal capital

"Seven naval squadrons?"

Gudeya's old face also showed a touch of shock, and took a deep breath. Although the Aden Navy Squadron is of different sizes, the total number is fourteen. Now seven of them are in the royal capital, which represents the empire. Half of the navy is located in the royal capital area. There has never been an assembly of this scale in the history of the Aden navy. Even if a squadron of forty warships is counted, a full 280 warships are silent in the royal capital of Aden. In the sea, even if it is the main force of the Imperial Navy, the number of warships of this size can be touched. If it is mentally unintentional, or it can be used to play a closed door, it is hard to say. It is no wonder that His Majesty even sacrificed Anxi. Aden, never let the imperial navy know in advance that the Aden navy has set up a sky and earth net in the sea area of ​​the royal capital

"Not only the seven naval squadrons, but also twenty of the latest heavy ironclad ships, this is the capital I have confidence in the decisive battle in Aden!" Isadi's eyes suddenly brightened terribly, pressing on the map His fingers have increased a bit more strength. "The only ones that can compete with heavy iron-clad ships are the Imperial Dragon-class battleships. According to intelligence, the width and current of the Eero River are not enough to carry a super-large sea fortress like the Dragon-class. Therefore, the warships of the Imperial Navy’s expedition to Aden are all lighter Dragon Tooth warships. If that is the case, as long as the main force of the Imperial Navy enters the waters of the Aden King’s capital, it will be the imperial navy’s death!"

"It's just..." Isadi's voice gave a sharp pause,

"Just what?" Gudeya's heart couldn't help but tremble. The opportunity to wipe out the main force of the Imperial Navy is right in front of him. For any navy of this era, it is definitely a huge glory and temptation. , It’s just these two words that are really troublesome

"There is only one chance. Once the Imperial Navy discovers our arrangement, we will give up all our previous efforts. It is a matter of national fortune, and sacrifice is inevitable!" Isadi's face is dignified, and the other naval admirals are all ready at this moment. Stand up and stop all the voices "Can the Aden Navy be shameful, whether the Aden Kingdom can become the Aden Empire, whether your Majesty can convincingly ascend the position of emperor, everything is in this battle, please be able to Considerate"

"I understand!" There is a touch of complexity on Gudeya's face. As a naval commander who has experienced many battles, he naturally knows what the word sacrifice means. Your Majesty is a bloodbath, and he is reluctant to bear children. Can’t set the wolf, let alone the opponent is the emperor who is known for his cunning, changeable and unparalleled strategy. This is a big game of chess. The empire launched a land attack on the north and south lines to draw the attention of the Kingdom of Aden away. What he did was right. The king of Aden launched a fatal blow from the navy line

This is a killer move that no one thought of, but even so, the empire is extremely cunning, raiding the Gulf of Aden and shelling Ansiadin. As long as there is a main fleet of Aden navy in the Gulf of Aden, it must be It is impossible to swallow this anger. As long as the Aden Navy pursues it, the Kingdom of Aden’s naval power in the Gulf of Aden will be fully exposed

War initiative, this seemingly vague term, is the most naked display at this moment. If the Imperial Navy finds that the Aden Navy is large enough, the Imperial Navy may completely abandon the plan to raid the Aden King’s capital and hesitate for a moment. , Gudeya asked, "Do you know who is leading the Imperial Navy?"

"I know, it was Dusterenkai, Minister of the Imperial Navy, who was in command personally"

"Navy Destroyer, Dustellenkai!" Hearing this name, Gudeya's old eyes couldn't help but frown. This is the true first man in the Imperial Navy, destroying countless naval fleets. It is said that the total number of naval warships sunk by his command is more than 1,000. Although Gudeya has not fought against him due to geographical relations, it does not mean that he is unfamiliar with the strongest imperial naval warfare. He has studied Du Strenker, faintly said "The Battle of Strand Sea State, he played well"

"The teacher said, the other party might be hiding something?" Isadi took a breath. The Strand Sea Nation is the former overlord of the Inland Sea. The first battle that turned the situation was because he wanted to ambush the Imperial Navy. , But was counter-ambushed by the Imperial Navy, which caused the main force to suffer heavy losses, and was eventually eroded by the Imperial Navy, and finally annexed to the Imperial territory.

"I don't know, it just doesn't feel very faintly, it may be that I am old and can no longer be as decisive as before." Gudeya shook his head with a wry smile. The Aden Navy was born in the Gulf of Aden, and the entire Aden The bay can be said to be the home port of the Aden Navy. In terms of familiarity, the Aden Navy, as a local navy, can throw away the Imperial Navy for several blocks. The Imperial Navy wants to counter ambush in the Gulf of Aden as it did against the Strand Navy. It is basically impossible, or it is because I have been away from the navy for too long, I am old, and sentimental, maybe after venting, my heart is much calmer.

The Royal Capital of Aden, Longines Palace

In a wide hall, dozens of Aden naval officers are busy at their posts. A huge map of the Gulf of Aden is crowded with people. They either walked quickly with documents in hand, or surveyed and calculated in front of the sea area map. In the middle of the hall is a huge hexagonal table, a crystal candlestick ten meters high, standing in the center of the hall, in the flowing flashing light. , Running fast,

A decisive battle that determines the fate of the kingdom, and even the situation on the mainland, everyone knows. At this moment, the main force of the imperial navy fleet that has conquered the entire Inner Sea of ​​Obaron is staring like wolves outside the Gulf of Aden. In this final battle, what tactics will the naval fleets adopt, and how will they coordinate with each other? Where is the love lurking, who is responsible for attracting the imperial navy, who is the main attacker, how the range coverage of near and far weapons is formed, where to launch an attack, and where to cut off from it

In this battle, there is no room for mistakes. These must be practiced on the chart many times. The navy officers exchanged opinions and whispered to guess and analyze.

"Your Majesty, the announcement about the imperial navy's brazen attack on the entrance of the Gulf of Aden and Anthias has been written. Please review it." A head of the Aden Intelligence Department walked into the side of the King of Aden. The brightly lit table and the atmosphere Tensed and solemn. The King of Aden took a look at the report, signed his name, and said with a cold voice, "Send this announcement immediately to tell me the people of Aden that the invasion of the empire has reached a very dangerous level. I, Aden, will not be afraid of force. , And never surrender to force, the kingdom needs their power"

"Yes, Your Majesty"

The intelligence officials closed the documents in their hands and left backwards. The Empire would not have thought that their attack on the entrance of the Gulf of Aden and shelling of Andyatin would become a bargaining chip for the King of Aden. The shortage of Aden’s domestic forces is already in danger. The extent of ~IndoMTL.com~ The king of Aden did not think about increasing the recruitment, but due to the current situation in Aden, the sudden increase in the number of recruits, I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction among the nobles and lords, but now it is different. The empire raided Aden. At the entrance of the bay, the shelling of Anthias has already hit the gate of the King of Aden. It can be said to be the most critical moment in decades. Even if it is to ask for a national mobilization, it is not too much!

This time the increase in the recruitment of troops, the increase in number is 200,000, which will greatly solve the current problem of the emptiness of domestic forces in Aden, and when the Kingdom of Aden defeats the empire, it will become the Empire of Aden with 200,000 new recruits In hand, with the powerful deterrence of defeating the Northern Falcon Empire, with the retreat of the army, Aden will be able to annex all other surrounding vassals in a short time

In this case, the territory of the Kingdom of Aden will be expanded by more than one-third. Since it is an empire, it should have a territory matching the name of the empire. At the beginning, the Erotians didn’t know this and thought they got it. The remnants of South Eero, clearly not yet stable internally, call themselves the Eero Empire, and really regard themselves as the former Eero South

It’s ridiculous that the entire Southern European Baro, in the past few decades, who has believed in the Erotian Empire, even the camp wars like the North-South War, the Southern European and Baro countries have deliberately excluded the Erotians, in fact, they are against Egypt. The irony of the Luo people claiming to be the largest power in Southern Europe, and ultimately defeated in the first battle, the empire is separated from the north and the south, the name of the empire, without iron and blood forging, without enough territory and power, is a joke!
