Antoros
The bright sun is rising, and the port in the morning is beautiful, like a crescent moon on the edge of the blue sea surrounded by bó mist, white waves on the sea, clear shallow sea, and you can see swimming fish, the port The castle at the top of the mountain is like bathing in a golden light. The golden light shines on the corridors of the castle. Myronlis pushes open the door of his father.
This is one of the two garrison castles on the island of Antoros. It is a fortress with a length of 350 meters and a width of 350 meters. It is built entirely of limestone on the island and is strong enough to resist attacks from large trebuchets. The Normans of this fortress obviously had a long-term plan to stick to it. Later, the Dunkers took over. Because the island is far from the Duchy of Dunkir, the garrison on the island has always been vacant, but there is a garrison of about 400 people. Team,
These two sturdy fortresses were also abandoned. Although it is late winter, the four spire-style tower posts are looming in the fog, and green vines can be seen hanging from above on the damp walls. , And occasionally be stirred up by the cold wind to make a sound of knocking on the wall. This fortress was built according to the garrison size of 1,500 people, but at the moment it is overcrowded, with sailors evacuated from battleships everywhere. People come and go, and there are a lot of wounded soldiers, lying densely in Guangping in the middle of the fortress
The battle-tested admiral of the Imperial fleet is standing in front of the window in the top room of the main fort. His once stern face is covered with haggard, only a pair of eyes gleaming like a star, looking at the distance. Sea surface,
"Is there any feedback from the Admiralty?"
Hearing the footsteps behind him, McLendy turned around. His eyes were bloodshot. Only 7,000 sailors came back with less than 3,000. For this admiral of the fleet with a reputation in the Imperial Navy In other words, it was like a slap in the face with a slap in the face, with a score of ten to one, and it was still such a record. He could imagine that at the Imperial Navy Department at this moment, I am afraid that those who are dissatisfied with him have already laughed forward and backward. !
"This is the order sent by the carrier pigeon of the Admiralty this morning" Myronlis hesitated on his face before handing over the documents in his hand, and said with an ugly expression
"Is the main force of the empire already transferred to Amur?" McLendy's face changed slightly to accept the order, his eyes swept, and a hint of surprise appeared at the corner of his mouth. He sighed and said, "Sure enough, this transfer order is undoubtedly equivalent to automatic I rejected the plan for a battle in the Antoros Seas that I submitted. Compared with the confidant of the empire, the Holy Sigster Empire, which has always had ambitions for the Northern Territory, is the object that the Imperial Navy needs the most attention, and Antoros automatically I've been ignored!"
"At least, the Admiralty did not completely reject his father's proposal!" Myronlis said cautiously. "The reply mentioned that in view of the arrogant invasion of the pagan navy, the Admiralty has moved to the Valician naval port 200 miles away. The transfer order was issued, where will the 21 imperial warships be sent here to support us, and the local garrison fleet in Lisboa. They have 41 warships. Although not the top warships, they are also very good. The combat power is coming to the Antoros sea area with all its strength. If we add our 14 warships, the number can reach 76, which should be enough to start a battle"
"76 battleships, but only 14 dilapidated battleships. Isn't this a joke for the so-called battle!" Melendy tapped his fingers on the table lightly, and his face grew gloomy. , Without any joy at all, said in a condensed voice, "Although the reply from the Admiralty sounds very good, I am very clear about the details of the Valician Navy mentioned in the order.
" The 21 imperial warships owned by the Port of Valisia are all obsolete ships that have been eliminated from the main fleet. There are even about half of them that have been in service for more than 60 years. The port patrol fleet is fine to decorate the facade. In fact, it is already old and unworthy of a battle. The local fleet in Lisboa is not to mention, basically some small and medium warships that have been eliminated long ago. Just as the duty of port guard, it is impossible to adapt to high-intensity encounters.
"This arrangement is not so much to help us, it is more like sending some useless people to prevaricate us. You have also seen the strength of the enemy. Without a sufficient number of main battleships, we can't compete with it at all! "
" How could this happen! "Merlenlis heard what his father said, flashed in his mind the tragic scene of the 40 battleships that day, still at a loss for the 4 enemy ships, his face suddenly paled
"Are they so perfunctory about the imperial navy?" Myronlis said unwillingly, this cruel fact caused him, a young man with passion for the imperial navy, to be hit again
" In the eyes of some people, the Imperial Coastal Defense is just a way for them to gain fame and wealth." The old-fashioned Melendy smiled disdainfully, staring into the distance, and said angrily, "And I It can be said with certainty that the layout this time is definitely from the handwriting of the fellow Phadton"
"First, the main force was transferred in the name of fighting against the Holy Sigst, and then some uncombatable fleets were used to drag us! In this way, even if we want to give up this battle, it is impossible!
"Unless we are willing to abandon our friendly forces and escape without authorization"
"The Marquis of Fitton~IndoMTL.com~ What my father said is the Secretary of Naval Operations, the Marquis of Fitton?" Mylenlis was taken aback when he heard the name. The Marquis of Fitton was a member of the Imperial Navy. Famous brave warrior,
It is said that his fleet is known as the Storm Fleet because of its extremely fast assault speed. The name and strong command style that make young people feel passionate has attracted the attention of many young people who want to join the Imperial Navy
" is him. Last year, in order to cooperate with the army's northward advance of the Holy Sigst Empire, the admiral Mulla led the fleet northward along the Central European and Baro Sea. It was Phaden’s fleet that was ordered to meet him." Voice of Melendy He stopped, his eyebrows raised slightly, and he said with a bit of disdain, "As a result, this guy didn't wait for the main force to arrive before attacking. He was besieged by the Mugla Fleet in Sridi Port for 7 days, and was almost wiped out. I led the fleet to arrive in time to save the life of this despicable villain, but after this guy got out of trouble, he insisted that I robbed him of the credit,
Although he has a lot of connections in the Admiralty, in the end, His Majesty the Emperor personally identified and counted this achievement on my head, but this vile man was promoted to the Chief of Operations of the Admiralty through this battle.
" From the two admirals of the fleet transferred to support this time, it can be seen that the old admiral Ayaze is behind the Valician fleet, and his rival Ariane is behind the Lisboa local fleet. , The meaning is self-evident! He wants to borrow the hand of the enemy to eradicate dissidents in one fell swoop, clearing the way for himself to board the Minister of the Navy" (to be continued) [] If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it. , Monthly ticket, your support is my greatest motivation. )
