Power and Empire Chapter 1671: In the name of Falcon (9)
The open sea of the island chain of Putao,
With the sound of the rushing water, a dense row of masts appeared in the northeast of the sea. The white sails reflected the brilliance of the sun, emitting a dazzling white light. After a while, Countless large warships present a white line pushing forward
The sea breeze brought by the battleship blew the huge falcon navy flag on the mast to hunt and hunt, "Wow" a huge wave rolled oncoming, and the towering bow of the Dragon-class battleship was heavy with unparalleled domineering. , Violently split the quiet sea, and the white waves of white water rolled forward, and the broad side of the warship was like a razor. The ripples from the place where the warship passed, circled and collided with each other on the sea. As they shattered or merged into a larger circle,
"Your Majesty, it's windy outside, so let's rest inside" Falcon Empire Admiral Dusterenkai came up from behind the deck and said respectfully.
"How far is this place from general practice?" the fat man asked without turning his head
"From the nautical chart, our current position is already in the area of the Inner Sea of Phu Tau." Dusterenkai replied, "I have sent three cruisers to confirm, and we should get news soon. Come on!"
"Oh, so fast! No" The fat man turned around in a daze and said, "It's not that it would take ten to fifteen days from the southwest area to the general area, but now it's only the eighth day. Estimated time has been reduced by nearly half"
"Ten to fifteen days means when there is no chart guide," Dusterenkai lowered his head and said. But now, not only do we have chart guidance, but the sea catches up with the winter undersea undercurrents. , It happens to flow from the north to the south! So the speed of the fleet is much faster than normal. (=Qianren,,,.) But when returning, it will also be affected, which will slow down the speed of the fleet a lot!"
"It seems that you are more familiar with the ocean than me!"
The fat man turned around from the bow of the ship in front, smiled, and sorted his wet clothes with his hands. Say ""How about the Duke of Universal?" I don’t want to lose sight of the turbulence on the sea these days. Our nominal suffering master will hang up first. This time we dispatched troops, we will punish the murderer in the name of "
"Your Majesty can rest assured!" Dustellenkay replied affirmatively, "I went to visit the battleship in Rollei yesterday, and the cut has healed. Although I can't walk down the ground yet, there should be no problem with my life!, It's just..." Dusterenkai's strange voice stopped for a moment,
"Just what?" The fat man put his **** in his eyes and asked in a condensed voice.
"In fact, it's nothing. The subordinates just think that the Duke of Universal is cruel enough," Dusterenkai said hastily. "Done such a deep knife in his ribs. I almost really took myself. How much hatred is needed. If it weren’t for our army doctors who specialize in treating sword wounds, and without the best medicine, I’m afraid this bold duke would really die in the empire and learn that we agreed to send troops. General, even if you are trying to die on the road, you must follow our fleet south. Such a guy will never be a simple guy once he gains power. If we help him in this way, it may even lead to conflicts. Starting a new battle, is it worth it!"
"You mean to say, we might raise tigers!"
The corner of the fat man's mouth chuckled, and patted the Imperial Admiral’s shoulder again with his hand. "You are right, this Duke of General sets is indeed a bit cruel. But isn't that what we value? I don’t know if a guy can be a tiger, but I’m sure, if you really want to become a tiger, the unlucky one will be Gangfei! Gangfei will not have any extra power. Come to worry about our southwest area! Even the fellow Saron can vaguely see this point! Of course, there is another very important reason for the actual deployment of troops. This is my personal secret, so I didn’t tell you, Rob Sturitko. Princess Lin, now in the Principality of Universal"
"What, Princess Turrit is in the Principality of Universal! What's going on! It's not that the princess returned to the province and has never returned." Dusterenkai's eyes widened and he couldn't believe it
"It is true that I did not return to my family. Turritt Colleen said that I would return to China the year before. I didn’t ask about it at the time. I only sent a fleet to accompany me. I thought it would be foolproof, but I didn’t expect it for more than a year. In the past, there was no news, just like the world has evaporated,
"At that time, I asked the Admiralty to expand toward Obaro and explore the route between the two continents. In fact, I hoped to find clues to Turitcolin. This is also one of the reasons. Unfortunately, I know Turritcolin. The inferior Normans were completely slaughtered by the expeditionary army, and the line was cut off. I expanded to the northwest and hit the southwest. I had no idea of searching,
The fat man smiled bitterly at the corner of his mouth." But until I occupied the southwest, I didn’t get any news. On the contrary, Salong went to the ambassador and found it by accident. The home country of the Burrows family of Turrett Collin was exactly The Principality of Universal Settlements is currently under the full surveillance of the Congolese Empire.
A sadness flashed across the fat man’s face, his eyes flickered, and he raised his head and said in a deep voice, "The important Burrows family is the most important thing to be monitored by the Gang. Suddenly detained, the fleet with the team was intercepted and sunk by the Gangfei Navy! Thousands of sailors never survived.
"Abominable Gangfei, I knew so long ago, so we shouldn't have a truce with Gangfei! If your majesty allows, I will immediately lead the fleet to bombard Gangfei Kyoto" Du Stellenkai thought of the thousands of sailors of the empire who were buried in the sea. Gnash your teeth
"Small can't bear it, it's a big plan! At present, the main target of the empire is still the Gauls!" The fat man shook his head, took a deep breath and said, "Fortunately, the Burrows family relations are all over Central Europe. Adopting a general house arrest strategy, hoping to gradually cut off the possibility of the support of the Duke of Putao"
"Otherwise, I would use a million blood of just inhumanity to snorted heavily for the "Fatty God" who was buried with Turret Corin, then turned my head and looked at the commander of my fleet. "At present, we first need to open a gap in Putao to provide a docking point for the fleet. You found the Duke of Putao yesterday, how did he answer?"
"The Duke of Putao suggested a place that meets the requirements. "Dusterenkai nodded." He said that Putao is a small country, but it has more than a dozen outer islands, known as the Putao Island Chain. Among them, Huacheng Island, where his greatest enemy, King Raphael, is located, is undoubtedly the largest in these island chains, and Huacheng has a complete port and fleet facilities. It is said that there is also a very valuable gold mine on the island. , The annual harvest is not small. So Gang Fei stationed a special squadron on Huacheng Island to protect and transport these gold..."
"Gold mine!" Fatty's eyes lighted up unexpectedly. He really didn't expect that the small Pudong Principality still has such a precious mine, so it's no wonder Gang Fei has been eyeing the Pudong Principality all the time.
"It’s just that the subordinates think," Du Stellenkai glanced at the fat man, gritted his teeth and said, "This suggestion is more like trying to use our hands to directly eliminate his greatest threat."
"Mutual use only! No one is a fool. According to the current relationship between the two parties, this Duke of Universal should not be able to lie to us. Because even if we kill the King of Rafael County, Gang Fei will be able to find out. The new replacement, the Duke of Universal sets will not be so stupid!"
The fat man sneered at the corner of his mouth, "Give the order to the fleet and set off with the goal of Huacheng Island! Now let a hole in the chain of the island to say again."
The waves on the quiet sea are much smaller, which is a sign of approaching the mainland.
In the afternoon, in the pale winter sun. The Falcon fleet reached the northern sea of Huacheng Island, and the huge fleet was moored on the sea less than three nautical miles from the coastline of the island, looking at the huge island in front of it like an eagle.
From the perspective of the Falcon Navy, who is accustomed to seeing large ports, Huacheng Island cannot be regarded as a city where the princes live at all. At best, it can only be regarded as a relatively prosperous small city. It is indeed as the Duke of Universal said, this This small city has complete naval facilities, although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs, and a port. The extension of the docks, repair shops, lumber factories, and ports, the sea is decorated with white stones resembling white marble on the island. It’s also extremely pleasing to the eye from a distance,
There are some fishing boats and several small sailing frigates with the flag of the Korean Navy docked inside the port. Seeing the murderous fleet appearing on the sea, the port rang the bell and the port mountain was in chaos. On the hill behind the port, inside a square castle on all sides,
"What happened to the port?"
The young King of County Raphael, listening to the emergency bell from the port, ran to the tallest watchtower of the castle with a fog. His appearance was very different from his cousin, the Duke of Buto. Slim and slender, he looks capable, and the young prince is two meters tall and has a burly body. At first glance, he belongs to a strong general. When he was very young, Raphael County was often hailed as the most outstanding in the Principality. The fighters of sè will definitely become the pillars of the auxiliary duchy.
"His Royal Highness, a huge fleet of unknown identity appeared in the harbor!" A guard ran up to the castle wall with ugly face, and shouted, "The other party sent it in a semaphore. The news requires us to surrender unconditionally, otherwise, a full-scale attack will be launched in one hour!"
"Surrender? What a joke, this is Huacheng!" The arrogant princess was obviously irritated by the surrender, and his eyes looked hard at the shining family pattern hanging on the white wall. Zhang, said loudly, "Tell them, no one can force me to leave here. This is my land. Come and get it if you have the ability. Also, immediately go and ask for General Arang from Gang Fei Navy. I want to ask Gang Fei. Support from the Navy Fleet"
In another room on the island, Arang, the commander of the Fifth Squadron of the Seventh Fleet of the Gangfei Empire, looked at the battleships lined up on the sea, gently rotating the bronze navigator with his fingers. , His gaze gradually condenses into a thin line. He has a pair of charming light blue eyes, a thick short hair of linen, and white gloves on his noble hands. The navy suit on his body is neat and tidy. The cuffs and collar are depicted. With gold silk edges, the badge on the shoulders is embroidered with gold ears
How did the Falcon Fleet appear in this position? Although it has not encountered the Falcon Fleet head-on, the fall of Kasiri, the core of the northern seas, has already made all the admirals of the Congolese and African Navy remember to use the black Falcon flag as This terrible fleet of the navy flag,
After visual inspection, Alange can be sure that the opponent’s warships are more than 50. This is not something that his own small squadron can provoke. He has heard that the original Kasiri, the Falcon fleet directly The entire port area was wiped out with long-range weapons
"Your Excellency Commander, the butler of King Raphael, please see me!" The voice of the servant sounded outside the door,
"Let him in!" "Alange replied to the door without turning his head. He originally wanted to refuse. But thinking of the huge amount of effort the empire had spent on the puppet of Raphael, he finally let He resisted the urge to refuse,
"Your Excellency Commander, if your Royal Highness is in a hurry, please come over!" The slightly thin old housekeeper opened the door, and the **** said to Alange anxiously
"If it's about the maritime fleet. I won't go!" Alange turned around, looked at the old butler who was staying there with a little apologetic eyes, and said condensedly, "It's not me. I am willing to help. I only have 7 small warships. The others are transport ships. I really can’t help.
"Does the commander mean that the empire has abandoned Huacheng?"
The King Raphael came from the door with a strong voice of anger, and the King with an angry face walked in, looking at Alange with bloodshot eyes. "I just want to ask, I'm loyal. Serving the empire, even the gold mine on the island is not dedicated to the empire. When I need the empire, where is the empire!"
"In fact, I will order the fleet to leave soon." Arang looked at King Raphael with an angry face, and the **** said seriously, "This is a problem that belongs to the general people. Who I know how you provoke the Northern Falcon Navy. I cannot let the Imperial Navy get involved without receiving a clear order from the Imperial Navy Department!"
On the sea. The fat man looked at the sky impatiently. He needed the complete facilities of the port, so he asked the island to surrender, but the other party did not react at all, which undoubtedly made the fat man feel angry
"Order the fleet, first smash the area on the right of the port!" The fat man ordered Dusternkie behind him, he must tell the other party that this kind of self-reliance is simply self-defeating. .
The "Wa" battleship shook a huge wave, and the twenty Dragon Tooth battleships of the Falcon Imperial Navy were lined up. The side strings are aligned neatly on the right side of the port of Huacheng Island. It is a beach on which is built a watchtower to monitor the sea and several small trebuchets. Through the observation mirrors in their hands, the admirals of the Imperial Navy can see Bu Tao The soldier was holding an ancient spear. The armor on their bodies is very simple and worn, and these soldiers don’t know what is about to happen, they are watching this side nervously on the sentry tower
"The target is 300 meters, the height is seventeen, ready to strike!" The fleet artillery has begun to refine the strike data, the fleet is skewed like a straight line, the muzzle of Thor's black hole slowly lifted, aiming at these areas Fort,
"My lord, what do you think these warships are doing?" A general soldier asked with a pale face and an officer next to him.
"His Royal Highness is strictly defensive. If you ask so much what you are doing, is it possible that these warships can still run to the shore to show off!" The officer wears the peculiar roll hat of the general army, and also carries a rod of iron in his hand. The long spear he built had obvious disdain in his tone for the unknown fleet that has been slow to attack on the sea. At this moment, he suddenly heard a rumbling thunder from the sea, and white smoke from the sea. The side of the battleship on board sprayed out, and for a while, the entire distant sea was filled with white smoke
"What's the matter?"
At the moment this officer was stunned, a fierce heat swept all around him, and the white lines from the sea fleet roared down, flooding the sky, and landed on the sandy beaches on both sides of him. Smoke waves rise from the battlefield. "A violent whistling sound crossed his head, and a white line across the sky, hitting the wall of the island fortress heavily. "Rumble." The violent explosion sounded like a muffled thunder, and countless spit out from the side of the battleship on the sea. The flames flashed on the sea in an instant,
"Huhuhu!" The Thunderbolt smashed down like raindrops. For the first time facing the generals of the navy, everyone was completely shocked. Everything was ups and downs and flickered before their eyes, and the flames burst. , Thick smoke billowed, human limbs scattered like pieces of paper, seemingly strong bunker was torn apart, countless rubble fell down
The sand on the beach was blown up as if the wind was blowing up~IndoMTL.com~ The soldiers who were still lined up on the beach were terrified by the intense artillery fire. Some people jumped up in panic. Running around, the result was blown to pieces. On the contrary, the soldiers who stayed calmly in their own bunker were fine. Unless they were hit directly by the shells, the soft sand absorbed most of the energy from the shell explosion, and the damage radius was greatly reduced.
But. It is different for the sentry tower behind the beach, where there is no beach to absorb the energy of the bomb blast. The Thor bombs fall there and explode. One blow is a large piece, blowing the mud into the air. Large tracts of trees were blasted off and smashed down one after another, and they were blown out of recognition by the volley explosion. The shelling first swept the edge of the harbor, and then extended to the middle. Houses and facilities were hit, rubble flew across, some of the wall fragments collapsed from the middle, and some were lifted directly off the roof of the house, beautiful In an instant, his house became a horrible ruin. On the platform of the port, there are people running in panic everywhere,
"My God, what is this!? Even the King Raphael standing on the castle in the distance was frightened by the destruction of the harbor, and flashes of white light stimulated him. Pale pupils
"It's Thor!" I don't know when, the commander of the Gangfei Squadron, Allange stood by his side. "They used this to destroy the northern hub of Kasiri, and more than 40,000 people died as a result!"
