Power and Empire Chapter 1598: Wind and rain are coming (9)
The afterglow of the setting sun shone from the opposite side of the sea. In the quiet port, more than 200 transport ships are ready to go. The fat man raised his head and glanced at the slanting sunlight, fingers clenched together,
"I hope there won't be any problems, right?" The fat man stared at the bright and tragic sunset in the distance, his eyes flashed a little hesitation, the initial victory report has passed 6 hours, and he has successfully defeated the two enemy fleets. The road to Yaduni was opened. Even if the attack fleet is slow or encounters unsatisfactory headwind weather, it should climb to Yaduni, but what's the matter? Why there is no news at all
"Your Majesty" Hu Keqili pushed in from outside, with the same hesitation on his face. He wore a straight legionnaire uniform with black background and white edges. He looked extremely capable. The excitement from the beginning turned into the present. Melancholy, the battle of the navy has made him unable to figure it out
"Any news from the attack fleet? "The fat man didn't turn his head, turned his back to him, and asked in a cold tone,
"There is no news yet!" Hu Keqili gritted his teeth again. He knew the concerns of His Majesty Falcon and shook his head and smiled bitterly. "There is still an hour before the deadline for the attack, the soldiers boarding the ship. We were a little sāo moving, and everyone didn’t know what went wrong. I just made a tour and the military spirit is still stable. Is it just a little confused? In fact, your Majesty doesn’t need to worry too much. Although the army and the navy have always had some gaps, this time they are representatives In the empire’s battle for revenge, all soldiers will fight bravely!"
"I am not worried about this!" The fat man turned around, his face was cold like ice, his black pupils looked like a beautiful lover in the distance, staring deeply at the other end of the sea. The setting sun, the golden light, enveloped the entire port, like a huge transparent cover, a white seagull hovering in the sky of the port. The high-quality update falls on the towering mast lightly. The deck below is already covered with people. All the soldiers are like fat guys, neatly raising their heads and looking into the distance.
The calm before getting ready to go, makes every second now like a bowstring that is slowly pulling away. The arrow has been wound, but is the target ready? Whether it is ordering an attack or ordering abandonment under unknown circumstances, the atmosphere weighs heavily on everyone's heart. The fat man walked in from the balcony outside the room, picked up the glass of red wine from the table near the window, and took a sip without grace,
"Your Majesty shouldn't need to worry too much!"Hu Keqili said with a confused face." Judging from the current battle situation, our navy has already defeated the enemy's two fleets. No matter how we look at it, we are making a lot of money. A fortune!"
"You don’t understand, the navy’s battle is different from the army. The navy’s battle goal is to control the sea. It’s not looking at a fleet of two enemy navies. The navy wants a complete victory. The Lieutenant General took control of the entire Southwest Sea!" The fat man took a deep breath and said solemnly. "No news is not terrible. Although we have not received news of the success of the decoy plan, we have not received news that the attack fleet has given up combat. , At least prove that the attacking fleet has not encountered major difficulties! The big deal is to order Dusterenkai to return to the port. Although I don’t know if there is a problem in the plan, or the navy has already seen through that we are going to transfer it from the island. The plan to leave? Now we are completely lost of the situation. If it is the former, the high-quality update attack fleet should be in some trouble, and it should be on the way back at this moment. If it is the latter, it indicates the entire "typhoon" plan. If the opponent sees through, the opponent will stick to Yadunis Island, so that the attacking fleet has to give up the plan"
The fat man's voice stopped, put down the drinking glass, and smiled bitterly at the corner of his mouth. "No matter what it is, it indicates the defeat of the battle of revenge. The admirals of the Navy are also worried this time."
"If this is the case, it does look a bit bad at the moment! Overall victory and unilateral victory are completely different things." Hu Keqili took a deep breath and frowned slightly at the content of the Fatty Institute. After hesitating, I decided to express my opinion
"Although it once gained an advantage, the southwestern waters are still firmly controlled by the Congolese and African navy. This last unturned result has made the blood book of all admirals of the Admiralty of the joint vow of revenge in the Falcon Army. The biggest joke, the conviction of victory formed by the admirals of the navy, and the glory that was established after many **** battles, will be a fatal blow!"
"Yours is what I am worried about!" The fat man shook his head helplessly. The navy went south and north. This attack is really reckless. Unfortunately, we can't do anything now. We haven't had this for a long time. This feeling of powerlessness, now all we can do is to believe in the navy and believe that they are a group of ferocious wolves who dare to fight lions at critical moments, not wild dogs that will only whine after being beaten! "
"Yeah, now I only believe in the navy!" Hu Keqili fell into a moment of silence, his eyes over the fat man's shoulders, he saw the setting sun in the distance like blood, turning the waves of the sea, countless transport ships side by side, you can imagine, Seeing all this, what kind of pressure is in your Majesty's heart. The army is about to set out, and it is temporarily cancelled. It is not only the military spirit that will shake, but also the prestige of your Majesty with victorious battles.
"Hopefully, at the last moment, the navy can get news back. This naval battle is also testing your majesty." Hu Keqili sighed secretly. He didn't know what happened to the navy, but he believed it should It's also very hard!
In the far Adunis sea area, white smoke filled the sea, and the Dragon Tooth battleship followed the transport ship that just fled from the navy in embarrassment,
Du Stellenkai stood on the flagship, looking coldly through the looking glass. Looking at the flames on the sea, in the lens of the looking glass, the wreckage of the large transport fleet collapsed quickly in the raging flames. The relentless hunt for the transport fleet has lasted for more than half an hour, and more than a dozen transport ships have been hit. Eight ships were sunk, and several other heavy transport ships were deliberately directed towards the island
"Boom Rumble"
A nimble dragon-tooth warship quickly turned in the distance, like a cunning hunter, swaying its tail in the direction of the coast. Behind it, a large transport ship rolled up and down. Thick smoke and fire light reflected the setting sun, the huge hull half capsized in the icy water, countless small black spots jumped from the transport ship, and the sea had already been covered by corpses.
The fierce flames of the non-navy transport ship just broke out in the light of the setting sun. The violent explosion exploded on an escaped transport battleship. In the thick smoke, this ship thought it had The transport ship that escaped from life was hit and sank,
"The other party really calmed down!" Dusterenkai put down the looking glass a little anxiously, time is getting tighter and tighter. If there is no progress after an hour, he has to reluctantly order to withdraw.
Just then. The high-quality update adjutant suddenly pointed to the distance and shouted, "Commander, look there!"
"Where is it?"
Dusterenkai nervously raised the looking glass, and following the direction pointed by the adjutant, he saw that a large number of warships with the flag of the Congolese Navy appeared suddenly on the inward curve of the cliff northeast of the coast. The number of calculations, the expanded queue is like a huge fan,
"Commander, the Fifth Squadron reports. Signs of enemy fleets are found to the southeast!"
"Commander, the Third Squadron reported that a large number of enemy ships were suddenly found in the northwest direction!"
From the rush of the flag on the mast, Dusterenkai's solemn mouth finally had a smile. Sure enough, the opponent was not calm, but had already arranged a considerable number of ambush fleets in the three directions of the island, which was really dangerous. Thinking of this situation, Dusterenkai's boldness also felt a little afraid, if he had not attacked the transport fleet. I believe that as long as it gets dark, you will suddenly come out from the ambush location,
The huge fleet encircled by the three parties is enough to put one's own fleet in an uncomfortable dilemma. In the dark night, most of the liaison sections will fail, and Thor's long-range advantage will also be restricted.
When the fleet is unable to know the specific battle, it is inserted by enemy ships from several directions in an instant. It is very common for the entire fleet to fall into confusion and chaos.
"Good risk, I almost fell into the net!"
Du Stellenkai wiped a cold sweat secretly. If it wasn't for an accidental encounter with a transport fleet, and finally made the opponent impatient, he might actually issue a strong attack to attract the opponent.
"According to the scheduled plan, notify the fleet to turn to the southwest!" Dustellen Kaishen turned around excitedly and decisively ordered. The emergency whistle to transmit the message suddenly sounded sharply, which appeared exceptionally harsh in the calm sea. At the beginning, it was a whistle, then two whistle, three whistle...Finally, all the whistles became one piece, and the sharp whistle between the ships seemed to pierce everyone’s eardrums,
The Falcon naval battleships have turned around. They are only responsible for drawing the opponent out, not fighting. It is not that they cannot win, but because the opponent is backed by the island and the strong port fortress. Once they are beaten back, they will want to capture Asia. Dunis will be a very difficult thing,
"How much did we attract!"
On a Dragon-class battleship, Admiral Joseph of the Squadron looked at the densely packed enemies in the distance and let out a subconscious emotion.
In fact, even he himself did not expect that Gang Fei would arrange so many battleships on the island. He looked at it with a vicious look. The total number is probably more than 150. If this is not Gang Fei. The main force of the navy, that's the hell, unexpectedly, suddenly a big fish was lifted, and Joseph shouted to the water behind him, "Hurry up, raise the main sail! I don't want to be overtaken by these guys!"
"Catch up with them!"
Seeing that the Falcon Navy, which had just attacked the transport fleet, was turning, posing as if it had eaten away. The Gangfei Navy, surrounded on three sides, quickly formed a chase queue, and a huge white wave appeared side by side. In front of the battleship,
Thousands of the corpses of the Congolese and Fei soldiers are like duckweeds in the sea. They are also being pushed by the huge cold waves raised by this battleship. They have not yet engaged in battle. The eyes of the admirals of the Congolese and Fei naval fleets have been caught in front of them. The violent irritation is already red, and there are corpses of compatriots everywhere. A large number of corpses rushed to the distant coast with the cold waves, and countless corpses of non-soldiers washed ashore with the water. Large swaths of corpses, looking forward The mirror looks like a school of white flowers, almost covering the edge of the coast,
More than 150 Gangfei warships and about 100 Falcon navy launched a chase on the sea. As the setting sun sank into the sea, the two navies lit their lights, and countless lights seemed to float on the sea. A beautiful river of light,
No one noticed that an hour ago, a gray homing pigeon flew into the sky.
The sea of the night is full of undulating currents, and the road ahead is confused, and there is no specific thing in sight. The distance between the two chasing fleets. Time is close and time is far. Several times, the non-Navy felt that he was about to catch up, but the sudden acceleration of the opponent made the distance more and more difficult to figure out.
"Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, although I am not sure, but I think the direction in which the other party is fleeing seems to be Port Liston"
On the non-Navy flagship, a temporary military meeting is being held. The wind lanterns hung on the ship's cabin are swayed from side to side, and a chart is placed on the back seat. Roland Lefebule, the commander of the Second Fleet, stood up, pointed to a point on the chart, and said to Hobro, the commander-in-chief of the Gangfei Navy.
"Oh, when did you make such a judgment?"
The White-Haired Commander-in-Chief Hobro placed his chin and tilted his head, his focused eyes stopped at the position pointed by Roland Lefibere.
"One hour ago"
Roland Lefibere said solemnly, "I suddenly found on the ship’s side that the enemy ahead had turned into the offshore area. This should not be to avoid the undercurrents in the sea, but to minimize the escape to the final destination. The adjustments made. From the chart, we can find that a straight line is drawn from where we are now and the position of the other party. The end of the line is the Port of Liston located 120 nautical miles away here!"
"Are you the other party fleeing towards Liston Harbor?"
Hobro retracted his gaze from the map and raised his head to look at Roland. Lefuble. "As an experienced naval commander. You know that the outcome of this pursuit is whether the enemy can stop the enemy before hiding safely in the port. If you can predict the direction of the opponent’s fleet, then A squadron can be sent in advance to bypass the interception from other angles. But if the opponent takes the straightest route, the chance of interception will be very low! Even if we know the opponent’s destination, we have no way."
"No. On the contrary, I think this is our opportunity!"
Roland. Lefibere took a deep breath and said, "The opponent will definitely think it is absolutely safe, but ignores a very important issue, that is, the opponent's warships have huge and heavy warships. These warships will delay the speed of the entire fleet. We can use light ships with superior speed to form an intercepting fleet, bypassing the opponent's side, volts outside the destination of Liston, and the main fleet trails. When the time comes, it will squeeze back and forth, and it will inevitably damage the enemy!"
"This is a good way! But who will lead this fleet?"
Hobro has expressed his approval of this battle plan based on his rich experience, but who do we send to command this fleet that leaves the team, and may even end up in a deadly battle? The face of Commander-in-Chief Hobro showed a trace of solemnity!
Under Hobro’s gaze, the commanders and admirals of the other fleets bowed their heads, and some even whispered, "What kind of plan is this to die? It's just a dead end. Just let the other party escape." Why bother to fight to the death!"
"Why? No one wants it?" A trace of disappointment flashed in Hobro's eyes. The defeat of the third and fourth fleets, and the blood of thousands of non-soldiers, ultimately failed to make these naval admirals shine as soldiers. Heart of Sacrifice
"If no one wants to, I hope I can!"
A young voice sounded, Roland. A man stood up beside Lefibere, with dark golden hair and a straight and handsome figure, who rushed to return the letter from the Third Fleet, and then Roland was taken by Roland. Rousseau Wanda, whom Lefebule accepted as adjutant
"You?" Hobro looked at the young man, and a sharp light flashed in his old and deep eyes. He knew that the outside world had a bad opinion of the young officer, and he escaped twice in a row. , Has been ridiculed by the outside world as "Lucky Rousseau Wurda", but in this young man, Hobro felt that he saw a glimmer of hope in the navy,
"Anyone else?"
Hobro did not immediately agree, but looked at other people,
Everyone is silent~IndoMTL.com~ An interception fleet composed of light warships wants to stop a huge fleet with heavy fleets and giant warships. This in itself means tragedy and sacrifice. The command to carry out such a plan Officials must have the belief in decisiveness! The result of the front and back flanking is most likely to stop the fleet’s annihilation. Enemies who drive with all their strength to survive will tear up any enemy blocking in front like a fierce wolf pack, not to mention that these enemies have just been torn apart. The Third Fleet and Fourth Fleet!
"Well, it seems that everyone will have no objection to this appointment!" Hobro turned to look at the young man with a straight body like a sword, and rarely smiled. "From now on, I appoint Rousseau Vandal as the commander of the 7th Assault Fleet. According to this power, you can select 30 battleships from each fleet suitable for this operation. Let’s set off tonight. Let’s see you in Port Liston!"
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, see you in Port Liston!"
Rousseau Vandal stood upright with excitement and respectfully saluted the white-haired commander-in-chief. He turned and walked out of the meeting. He regarded this appointment as his last chance to wash his stigma. If he can’t Success, then use brave death to shut up those guys!
