Power and Empire Chapter 1221: Antoros Turbulence
Port Antoros
Looking at the blue sky outside the window, Gili Fei, the governor of the Duchy of Dunkirk in Antolos, gently rotated the bronze navigator with his fingers, his eyes gradually condensed into a thin line, I don’t know why, recently He always feels a little irritable these days,
"Or because of the **** weather!"
Ji Lifei looked at the cold and non-hot sun above his head with some helplessness, and complained to himself that as a person from the warm Central Europe, he felt that the weather now is too cold. If it is now in China, it would be better for Ai Chudong The crimson flower should already be in full bloom in Kyoto. What a beautiful sight. The ladies and ladies in gorgeous costumes will accompany the flowers. Even the deep and simple palaces will come to visit, and they can also have them. A chance to get a glimpse of the beautiful and unparalleled face of Princess Anya
" Lord Governor, Fleet Commander, Baron Fei Wu, begs to see you! "The voice of the servant sounded outside the door,
"Let him in!" Gilifi said to the door,
Soon a heroic young officer in a navy uniform walked in. "Good morning, Lord Governor!" The young fleet commander Ting stepped up straight, facing the pale-faced Governor Geely. Fei bowed a salute, and a look of disdain flashed in her eyes,
"Is there anything about that mysterious continent?" Gilifi turned her head, looking at the young admiral with a strong look of anticipation. As the youngest admiral of the Principality’s navy, Duke Dunkirk personally praised the model. , Baron Fei Wu has a pair of charming light blue eyes, thick short flax hair, white gloves on his noble hands, neat navy suits, cuffs and collars with golden silk edges. The badge on the shoulder is embroidered with three golden spikes. This is the mark of the admiral of the naval squadron. Only 11 people in the entire Dunkirk have such a mark.
" There are already some eyebrows!" Baron Fei Wu responded with his head lowered, hiding the trace of disdain in his eyes, and secretly saying, "In order to seek information on the opposite continent, he thought of looking for a pirate. The guts of the governor-sir Sure enough, if the rumors in the country are like that, it's all because of the nepotism with the archduke to become 1'
'Cough cough, that’s probably how long it will take." Gilifi coughed a few times in a gloomy cough. He has become accustomed to the climate of Central Europe. In November, although it’s a bit cool at the moment, it won’t feel cold. It’s obviously better than The temperature in the country is even lower, especially after the sun goes down, the cold wind roars and almost solidifies the entire island. This makes his delicate body suffer from low-grade fever and cold all year round. This feeling makes him very uncomfortable. If possible, he I don’t want to stay on this deserted island for a moment
"I have made people increase their execution, and I believe there will be information from the mainland soon!" Baron Feiwu replied. He came to the beautiful and peaceful Normandy island chain in October. This place was originally controlled by the Normans, but for unknown reasons, the Normans took the initiative to hand over this important stronghold of the north-south route to the Principality of Dunkirk in exchange for Dunker’s contribution to the empire of the Normandy. I recommend, thinking of this, Fei Wu's mouth shows a teasing smile
" Let it go! It must be fast, you also know that the Principality attaches great importance to this matter! Gilifi frowned slightly, not willing to go on, he is a high-ranking nobleman, not like Fei Wu's walking Navy officers with salty sea water
" I will do my best! "Baron Feiwu is about to turn around and leave. At this time, Governor Gilifi called to stop him." Wait. Some time ago I received a letter from Lord Rios who led the main fleet through this place. He said When passing by here, we found unidentified warships in our waters. Although the number and tonnage are not large, we should pay attention to it!"
" Are you talking about the encounter 20 days ago? "Baron Fei Wu raised his head, a cold light flashed in his pale blue eyes. The corners of his mouth smiled disdainfully." The Governor completely used it, Rios The adult is the upper official of the villain. He has already told me about this situation. As he said, the number of this unknown fleet is very small, and the tonnage is even smaller and pitiful!"
"Oh, why do you think so? Don’t warships win by number? If the enemy sends hundreds of ships at once, wouldn’t it be bad"
Gilifi gave him a surprised look. Although he is the governor, he doesn’t know anything about navigation. The reason why he was dispatched is because there are other tasks. As a minister of the Grand Duke, he knew very well that this time the Antoros Island The exchange is not for the so-called ridiculous reason, but for other reasons,
The barbaric Normans lost their soldiers and soldiers on an isolated island in the northern waters, not to mention that even the famous seven generals also lost four. The Normans whose strength has been severely shrunk can be thinned out in the empire. Thank God for the order of the empire. I even dreamed of becoming one of the twelve consuls of an empire, and then accumulating prestige and giving the princedom a chance to become a kingdom. It’s just a dream, but the stubborn fellow of the Grand Duke of Normandy. This is what happened. This is the purpose for the Principality to send itself. It is necessary to find out what happened to the Nordic people on that island?
Compared to the Normandy, which has a large area of land, the Principality of Dunkirk, which is almost entirely composed of a small peninsula chain, has a rare development this year, mainly due to the sudden increase of merchant ships from a certain area on the opposite side of the sea. Now, the sudden prosperity of the joint trade has made the Duchy of Dunkirk, which has always been known as a sea country, become a little ambitious.
Although the Normans have always insisted that the opposite is a barren island, so many merchant ships are enough to show that the Normans are lying. Behind the unknown sea, there must be a vast land and a huge population. With wealth, if the navy of the Principality of Dunkirk can detect that mysterious area, even if it cannot immediately compare with those first-class powers, it can at least reverse the current situation of the Principality’s financial losses. It is precisely for this purpose,
In the Principality of Dunkirk, regarding the issue of Antoros Island, although knowing that what the Normans threw to themselves is not necessarily a good piece of meat, they did not hesitate to accept the proposal of Antoros in exchange for support. Of course, For this kind of high-level secrets, a small fleet admiral like Baron Fei Wu is not qualified to know that he is just a leftover fleet in the sea, not a cruise fleet like Rios mentioned by Gili Fei, which belongs to the empire, and Not just the Duchy of Dunkirk
He is now explaining that "Antoros is located in the center of the sea. If you want to occupy it, you must send an army. If the tonnage of the opponent's warship is not enough, it will not be able to transport too much force, and we still There are 3 Whale-class warships in town. Even if the enemy comes to a hundred, they cannot compete with the Whale-class whose tonnage is several times higher than them, so the Governor can rest assured."
"It's a two-hundred-and-five-hundred-and-five-hundred-and-five fools. The ghosts care about your flight, as long as I can go back safely!" Gilifi muttered to herself, took out a white handkerchief, and wiped a bead of sweat pretentiously. On his forehead, he waved his hand to the embarrassed Baron Fei Wu,
said, "Thank you very much for your explanation. I am indeed an excellent soldier in the Principality. Let’s go down first. Hurry up. After a month, the prince of the Principality will come and inspect it in person. I don’t want that kid to see. My joke, if all goes well, I will recommend to the Grand Duke to go to the Imperial Cruise Fleet, where there must be a place for you to show your fists."
"As you wish, Lord Governor!" Hearing Gilifi's promise, Baron Fei Wu left the Governor's office with joy on his face. Although this nepotism guy has no real skills, at least he is still insightful. Torch,
At this time, on the sea 10 miles away from the port of Antoros, a Dragon-class battleship with the Falcon naval battle flag hung, 4 dragon-tooth battleships are undulating on the sea, and there are three other ships. Heavier transport ship,
"How many days is this?" Gates, the captain of the 13th Dragon Tooth battleship, looked at the waves rising on the sea with some interest, and asked the chief mate next to him
" It should be 6 days since leaving the port!" the chief officer replied
" So ~ IndoMTL.com~ We have been here for three days! "Gates looked sadly at the white waves floating from the bow of the warship, like in light blue He tore a huge slap in the face and hit the dark side of the Dragon Tooth ship. There were many white water marks behind him, just like a group of fierce behemoths in the sea riding the wind and waves, and the surrounding fish Fleeing all around in fright,
This is the third squadron of the Imperial Privateer Fleet. The commander of the fleet is Iffinger. From receiving deployment to reaching the destination, the third fleet only took three days, and the other three days have been Hidden near an unknown island in the island chain, everyone is waiting. This great voyage has almost mobilized the entire privateer fleet, except for the third fleet to the Antoros waters. The fourth and the first group attacked. The fifth, sixth, and seventh squadrons, all with their own missions, lurking in this huge chain to the island, like a spreading net,
"You said, who is the enemy your Majesty is targeting this time?" Gatessa was bored anyway, joking with the chief mate next to him
" I’m not sure, but this net is so big that it’s even big enough to swallow the entire island chain!" The first officer hesitated on his face, and said intermittently, "If only in terms of strategic goals, I would never have imagined such a big The goal, unless it is the navy of the Obaro continent!"
"Attention, the flagship has raised the flag, it is the flag of the battle!" At this moment, the excited voice of the flag bearer resounded above his head. The two people who were chatting didn't know that because of the misjudgment of the situation and strength, someone far away from the other side of the sea People, even planned a battle to stir up the entire Obaro Sea, because the cause was a misjudgment in the Antoros waters, so in later generations, this battle will also become Antoros turbulence
