Power and Empire Chapter 1297: Dustrunkai’s worries
January 27th, 2nd year of the Falcon Empire calendar, this is the beginning of the second phase of the Empire’s Battle of Normandy, the cloudless port of Moon’s, the blue sea, the harbor with dense warships, and the south with a straight military uniform. Governor Statunko, standing at his somewhat unbalanced body, respectfully saluted the fat man on the opposite side
"Your Majesty, the subordinates are here!" Statunko's simple tone, revealing a military-style determination
"Good voyage! See you in Normandy!" The fat man stretched out his palm and patted his capable man's shoulder heavily." See you in Normandy, Your Majesty take care!" Statuenko nodded excitedly and turned around On board the flagship Dragon-class battleship Treguier of the attack fleet, even in so many warships, the size of the Dragon-class battleship Treguier is extremely conspicuous, compared to the other dragon-class ships next to it. Compared to the Treguier’s ship’s side by more than 3 meters, it’s like a lonely beast lurking quietly on the sea..
This is a Dragon-class battleship that was launched in December. The brand-new deck can smell the paint. The huge hull is more than 20 meters high. It has 180 thunder guns and the latest keel reinforcement of the Empire. Technology,
The latest batch of 4 Dragon-class battleships launched in the water are all based on the advice of the Ministry of the Navy. Thick and solid baffles are installed on the side weaknesses of the battleships.
Although it looks a bit cumbersome, according to the Navy’s words, this shape is like the scales of the legendary dragon's neck that suddenly opened when it was angry. It is absolutely domineering, enough to shock the counterfeit super warships in the Gallic Navy. "All turn left and board the boat!"..
Seeing Legion Commander Statunko boarding the flagship, the 30,000 soldiers of the Southern Army waiting in the port, turning neatly to the right, with their feet trembling, the ground is trembling slightly, and a group of black armored soldiers.レm♠思♥路♣客レ boarded the dense fleet lined up in the harbor, the sun shining on the side of the fleet, flashing ambilight,
More than three hundred huge transport ships, divided into four echelons on the coastline of Luansi, the white battleship sails with the logo of the Imperial Navy, were slowly pulled up from below the masts by the imperial sailors, and were fiercely pulled up by the imperial sailors. As soon as the sea breeze blew, it immediately turned into a bulging hemisphere, making an impatient rushing sound. It's like a group of hungry beasts suddenly all come to life
"Raise the sail, set sail!"
The sailors ran back and forth on the deck, and in an instant, a dense forest of sails appeared in the sea port. The waves rolled up by the heavy bow were like a huge iron plow breaking open the vast sea, countless rushing side by side. The waves rolled by the white water mark,
6 Dragon-class battleships and 31 Dragonya battleships are at the forefront of the fleet, like the army being inspected, passing one by one from the port tower where Fatty is standing
The fat man watched the huge fleet slowly leave the port. Disappeared on the sea level in the distance, and then retracted myself from a distance with a somewhat scorching gaze,
The attack ship group will arrive in Port Antoros in 3 days and rest for a while. On the fourth day, we set off from the port of Antoros and arrived on the distant coast of Normandy on the seventh day.
From the perspective of time, it was the northern coalition brought by Nilai at that time. At the critical moment of the confrontation with the main Normandy forces, the landing southern army will pounce on the flank of the Normandy like a pack of wild wolves. Eventually drive the Normandy into hell,
As the first wave of troops that the Empire invested in Normandy in the true sense, the Southern Army Corps came out sharply this time.
The Southern Army’s 1st Main Battle Standard Regiment, 2nd Light Cavalry Regiment, 5th Heavy Infantry Regiment, 6th Progressive Regiment, and Statunko’s Direct Guard Cavalry Squadron, totaling more than 3 troops Million people,
The name of the battle "Normandy Dusk"
When the fat man announced the entire plan at the Southern Army military meeting, more than a hundred officers of the Southern Army participating in the meeting almost mumbled to themselves,
An indescribable sense of tremor spread throughout the body, and it shook violently through the deepest part of the jīng god. These southern military officers, who have been eager to have the opportunity to make achievements, all had a strange feeling at the same time, and a strange feeling appeared in front of them. A magnificent illusion,
The setting sun is like the blood of the earth, the iron current of the army is like a flood, from the flanks into the vast plains, the horses smash the enemy's defense line, the black army is overwhelming,
This is the dusk of the empire, go forward, go forward! The spear is like blood, and the war horse is like thunder, trampling all the targets in front to smash
Such a combat name, from the mouth of His Majesty Falcon, who is known as the **** of the Continental Army, the supreme Falcon, the officers can no longer think of, other than that, what other names are more suitable for this battle.
No! They even felt that because of this naming, the success of the battle already means that it can be waited for.
Of course, this is just a momentary illusion. They have been born to death on the battlefield, knowing that the road ahead will be extremely difficult, and the gods immediately turned into seriousness.
But it is undeniable that as a warrior who is eager for meritorious service in troubled times, hearing such a battle name will inevitably arouse the courageous spirit and pride lurking in them!
Fatty returned to the Admiralty building from the port. The navy has accompanied the fleet to attack. People went to the empty admiralty building and became Fatty’s temporary office location.
An adjutant was already waiting at the door of the office, saw the fat man approaching, hurriedly greeted him, and respectfully said, "This is the document that the Secretary of the Navy Dustellen specially asked to give to his Majesty before he left!"
"Du Stellenkai?" The fat man frowned slightly. Although the first group of attack troops had been dismissed, the work really began.
The zhōngyāng army, the northern army, these larger army groups, are being ordered to gather towards Yue'ansi, which means that the empire needs to mobilize more maritime transport capacity,
In the northern part of the empire, Berrant Bonnie, who was in charge of the three northern counties, had ordered the border guards to shrink to the south, and Crolisat of Dorok gave the same order. On the edge of the Dongting grassland, a blank area with a width of 100 li has appeared.
As a large number of empire forces gathered from the north to the south, and the border guards moved away, the Dongting people, who must have endured for a long time, would never let go of this opportunity. The war broke out as soon as the war broke out. Two fronts, one inside. First, it is an excellent opportunity to divert the attention of all ethnic groups in the country. As long as this cruel winter is passed steadily, the rule of the empire may be recognized as it should be
This winter of the empire is a very critical period both internally and externally. If the fat man wants to move forward in a balanced contrarian, the pressure is not easy!
"Well, you go down first!"
The fat man took the documents in the hands of the adjutant, sat down at his gorgeous and elegant red-lacquered desk, opened the documents in his hands, and Dusterenkai’s neat and neat handwriting came into view,
"This guy!"
After reading it at the fastest speed, the fat man felt like a basin of cold water poured down his head, smiled wryly at the corners of his mouth, and fell into a thought
It’s no wonder that Dusterenkai, who is slick, dare not directly report to himself. It is a manifestation of a guilty conscience. No wonder, if it was a few days ago, or a few hours ago,
If you submit such a report to yourself, you will also throw it to the ground angrily. The army is about to be dispatched. How can you tolerate such remarks to shake the military?
But now it’s different. The army has already set off, and it’s not too late to make up for it!
In this document report, Dusterenkai said very cautiously that although the Imperial Navy is strong, the Gallic Navy is not useless, but an extremely dangerous opponent." There is no room for glimpse. Only one of the squadrons has plunged the Imperial Navy into a **** battle. Therefore, it is a very dangerous act to judge that there is no worries on the sea too early! Your Majesty has invested nearly 100,000 troops in Normandy. If the Navy loses, it will be 100,000. How will the army respond!"
Although Duterenkai’s report is a bit cryptic, the meaning is very clear. It can be seen that compared with the high morale of the army,
The Secretary of the Navy was not overwhelmed by a series of victories and huge expectations,
On the contrary, I have a very serious sense of crisis in my heart, but in the situation where the whole army shouts and fights, both the fat man and the army generals have already put the expedition on the schedule. If the navy jumps out, it will be very inappropriate. To make unfavorable remarks, the most likely thing is to be criticized by the Army as a coward!
"Finally there is another sober person!"
The fat man took a deep breath and turned to the back of the folder. In order to improve the navy’s ability to deal with sudden changes, Dusterenkai attached a ten-page naval improvement plan at the end of the report.
The basis is that the navy accidentally captured two Gaul Empire ironclad ships under repair in the dock of Antoros Port. Because of the short time, although the Naval Research Institute tried its best to tackle the problem, it was still unable to research like the Gaul Empire Navy. Realize the heavy warship technology of full-face iron armor on super large warships,
But it’s not completely lost,
When the research institute was dismantling an iron armored ship, it accidentally obtained a special keel reinforcement technology from the iron armored battleship structure.
"This technology is not complicated~IndoMTL.com~ is mainly for strengthening and improving the key parts of the hull!" In the report, the Naval Research Institute wrote to Dusterenkai that if this technology is used for existing Dragonya-class battleships, with certain modifications, the Dragonya-class battleships will likely have the strength to compete with the armored battleships! "
After all, the Dragon Tooth is currently the main force of the Imperial Navy, and the total number has exceeded 120.
Although the huge dragon-class battleship has powerful firepower, no matter its scarce quantity and expensive construction cost, it can only be used as an important firepower support point in naval battles, and cannot become like a dragon-tooth battleship. That way, the excellent combination of suppressing firepower and high mobility in naval battles
According to the Naval Academy, if the latest hull keel reinforcement technology is used, the size of the Dragon Tooth warship may be doubled.
The enlarged hull can have stronger and more stable defensive power, and the cabin can carry more offensive weapons, thus greatly improving the combat effectiveness of the imperial fleet as a whole.
The fat man finally picked up the pen on the table after pondering for a while. The total budget for refitting the Dragon Tooth may be an astronomical figure, but compared to the empire's 100,000 army, this little money is worth it! (To be continued.)
