Imperial Navy Privateer Fleet Base Camp. This is the largest naval base of the Imperial Navy in the northern part of Salander. It is located on the inner bend ten miles north of the Victor Coast. Looking out from the top of the inner bend mountain, it has just risen from the sea. Under the shining white sun, the entire row of warships lined up in the harbor calmly, sails like clouds, and the majestic figures of the three Dragon-class warships loomed in the mist. On the two wings of the three Dragon-class warships, twenty Two smaller Dragon Tooth battleships undulate with the waves,
The Secretary of the Navy Du Stellenkai, who returned from Wikiah, pushed open the door of the headquarters conference room with a serious face. Inside, the captains of the Imperial Navy who were standing in twos and threes talking quietly, saw Du Stellenkai coming in. Everyone hurriedly stood up straight, saluted Dusterunkai, and said in unison, "Commander!"
" Let’s sit down, everyone!" Du Stellenkai waved his hand to the crowd, his sharp eyes swept across the crowd’s faces mixed with various emotions, and he took a deep breath and said, “Congratulations, Your Majesty It has been determined that no matter who the opponent is, we must do our best to take down the island chain! That is to say, as you expect, this is an order to proactively attack the Normandy island chain. There is no doubt that we will go to war with the enemy in Antoros. , Whether he is Norman or Dunkirk"
"Long live, your majesty is really wise!" There was a cheer in the meeting room, and the war started, and the flag of the Imperial Navy was flying in the exotic waters. Everyone showed a smile on their serious faces. Originally, everyone was still worried that it might be because of the Normandy. Withdrawal, His Majesty Falcon will abandon this battle plan. Now it seems that he is completely worried. When has the word fear existed in His Majesty Falcon's heart?
"It’s great to be able to go to war. Last time I wanted to punch those guys who don’t know the heights of the sky! If it weren’t for the commander’s special order, I’d have beaten them so much." The person who speaks full of gunpowder is the commander of the Second Squadron Frye who brought this news back.
, the commander of the Imperial Squadron from pirates, his eyes lit up at the moment he heard the order to attack. He was the only person who had seen the navy of the Dunkirk Kingdom and was shocked by the strong dominance of the opponent. , Thinking of it afterwards made him itch with hatred. It was too embarrassing. Last time he had only two Dragon Tooth ships. Facing each other's aggressiveness, he could only choose to be forbearing, but if it was the entire private fleet, the situation would be the case. Another thing is that although the opponent has an armored battleship with a large tonnage and a strong defense, it also reveals that the opponent’s main combat method should still be an old ship-receiving battle.
This is also where Frye feels confident. The heavy hull of the opponent is undoubtedly the target of the Navy Thor's smashing. This battle is the first battle of the Southern Navy against the foreign navy. In any case, he must get the first. Gong, thinking of this, he stood up and said loudly, "Commander, please let me be the forward of the fleet. My squadron already knows all about that sea area. If the first mission is handed over to me, I will definitely be able to Destroy the enemy fleet in the shortest time"
"Let me start, I will let the enemy meet and flee!" The commander of the Sixth Sail Squadron Tegel also stood up, and the other squadron commanders also stood up and asked Dustrum Kai for battle.
"Your Majesty has made arrangements for this battle! Don't fight, you guys."
Du Stellenkai looked at the people with a calm face, opened a document in his hand, and ignored everyone’s initiative to ask for a battle. Instead, he read it for a while before merging and saying, "Is everyone clear? This time the fleet will be divided into two groups to set off. The captains who have just read the first group can go back and prepare. Those who have not read the name will stay temporarily and wait for the attack order."
"Why is this?" Some squadron commanders and the captains below who did not call their names stood up angrily.
"Why are the fourth, fifth, and sixth squadrons in the attack sequence, but the other fleets are forced to stay in the port?" Frye's voice appeared the loudest inside, and his squadron was ranked second. It’s no wonder that he was extremely dissatisfied with the sequence of departure, and he was nagging "If we can destroy the enemy's fleet, why don't we destroy them all at once? Instead, we must cover it up like this"
"The other fleets have their own tasks to contain," Dusterenko said
"It's just a restraint? It's too unpleasant!" Low-pitched comments were everywhere below, "Does someone else eat meat, do we drink soup?"
"This is the plan made by your majesty himself! Are you dissatisfied with this plan?" Dustellenkai glared at these unruly subordinates. As soon as he said this, he was even praised as Frye, the commander of the squadron of the "Cannon Barrel", shut his mouth very wittily. The belief that His Majesty Falcon’s command is supreme has been integrated into the blood of all Imperial soldiers. His Majesty Falcon is not the **** of war on the mainland, and has been fighting for hundreds of battles since his debut Never defeated, no one has the guts to question His Majesty’s orders,
was appointed as the Secretary of the Navy Dusterenkai was the first navy commander who led the imperial navy from childhood to strength. The cruel battle in the Rhode waters proved the ability of this admiral under double pressure. , Everyone was filled with pride and held their breath, no one dared to speak anymore,
"I hope you will be clear that this battle is different from the previous naval battle missions" Dustrum took a deep breath. He had already expected the situation in the cold field. In fact, if it hadn't been for His Majesty Falcon to tell him what follows , He will also feel incomprehensible about this combat mission. In response to the puzzling gaze of everyone, Dusterenkai said, "Your Majesty wants not only the sea this time, but also the real land and army, so This time we set off with 50 troop carriers. 11,000 soldiers of the Southern Army will accompany us to land on Antoros. The late fleet is responsible for holding the opponent’s navy’s attention and allowing the army to board Antoros. Ross is the final strategic means to bring the entire Antoros-centered island chain into control"
"Eleven thousand people!" This number made the captains below take a breath of air.
"Big...sir. Are you sure it is the number of 11 thousand?" A captain said hesitantly, "Such a large amount of transportation is absolutely unimaginable before! And it's still ocean navigation, which is incredible. Got it!"
"Yes, there are 11 thousand soldiers of the Southern Army!" Dusterenkai said in a heavy tone, "I know this is not suitable for those who are used to fighting strong in the sea before, so the fleet must be divided. Part of it is to protect the troop carrier. Although you did not participate in the war, the responsibilities on your shoulders are just as heavy."
"What if the enemy's fleet is encountered on the road?" Some people have raised new doubts. In naval battles, troop carriers are often targeted by the enemy. With 11 thousand people, the dispatched troop carriers are even more capable. An unprecedented 50 ships, if intercepted, the consequences would be disastrous
"This is the main task of the first fleet. No matter what method is adopted, the Dunkirk Navy must be kept outside the security line!" The sharp sword that pierced the Great Sea can also protect the imperial army from boarding the sea **** on the opposite land. After the first strategic goal is achieved, these one thousand soldiers still need to move forward."
"The commander means that after the island chain is taken, your majesty has a greater strategic goal? Is it Oubaro?" The third squadron commander Effinger asked with a moving expression. It seems that this sentence provoked enthusiasm. Oubaro, a distant foreign continent, the eternal dream in the hearts of all adventurous sailors, if Yang Fan can gallop on such a huge border of the continent, even if he died, he would carry it with him. Smile
"Your Majesty’s gaze is not something that the short-sightedness of the mouse I am waiting for can keep up!" Dusterenkai thought of the trembling ambition of His Majesty Falcon, took a deep breath and said, closing the folder in his hand heavily. , Greeted everyone's hopeful gaze, and said
" That’s all I can convey to you. Let’s go back and prepare separately. Ten days later, the first assault fleet will move to Moon’s, the southern military port of Salland! I don’t know the specific plan. This battle is up to your majesty. Come and set it up! This is an excellent fighter for our Southern Navy. Compared with your colleagues who are rapidly rising in the North Sea, are you willing to just own a piece of water?"
"Not reconciled!" This time, all the squadron commanders and captains stood up, and the loud voice shook the conference room. In the glory of the navy, the war-tested Southern Navy is undoubtedly extremely Bloody and passionate,
"This is probably the basis for your majesty to dare to carry out this plan!" Dustellen Kai stood upright, with a dignified expression, and paid a military salute to all the captains and squadron leaders who attacked the first batch, and said affectionately "The hope of the southern navy depends on your bravery! I hope you can fight for the first place, defy the difficulties, go forward courageously, and show the might of our imperial navy"

Next to a wharf in the south of Vikia, white masts are like forests, and all kinds of ships are full of the wharf. A group of mercenaries escorting cargo, surrounded by a black carriage, slowly enters the wharf. In Taikan, some merchant ships that are loading and unloading goods are on the left side of the pier. The merchants just glanced over here, and then again turned their attention to their respective cargoes. No one in particular would notice that they got off the carriage. One man and two women
" Be sure to come back early! "Mao Manaqing’s body suddenly came up from behind the fat man, and the slender hands hugged the fat man’s waist~ IndoMTL.com~ I tightened again, without saying anything, which makes people feel deeply. The affectionate and heavy atmosphere of this beauty in the snowy mountain, even the female knight Berrant Bonnie next to her did not say a word,
parting is imminent, every second is so cherished,
" Don’t worry, I’ll be fine!" The fat man gave a relieved smile at the corner of his mouth, and turned around to hold Mao Manaqing’s slightly trembling shoulders. Just now on the carriage he found that Mao Manaqing’s laughter had diminished. I found that she was crying secretly behind her back.
Mao Monaqing in aqua-colored dress raised her pretty face, her long hair draped softly on her round shoulders, tenderly as water, just a pair of pretty eyes with tears, she whispered, "Sometimes Naqing will ask herself , Knowing that your Majesty is not a man who can revolve around women, why do you still fall in love with your Majesty so unstoppable? I only hope that your Majesty can remember the original agreement. It is enough not to abandon Na Qing in this life! If you think Na Qing is old someday, It’s no longer beautiful. I just hope to find a quiet valley near your majesty’s palace, so that Na Qing will always pray for your majesty like everyone else!"
"With a wife like this, this life is no regrets!" The fat man trembled in his heart. When he put Na Qing in his arms, he also felt that he was holding a child who was connected to his blood. If he could, he would be there. How nice is she to come back before she was born,
The dexterous figures of the two Admiralty Dragon Tooth battleships in the distance have drawn two bright white lines on the distant sea.
