Power and Empire Chapter 1713: Thundering Spring (9)
"Plap" the flapper was put down on the Fezer flagship, and a passage was built between the ship's hull and the Strand flagship, which was burning with flames. General Fezer accompanied the young man to Strand. The flagship of the special people, the fierce naval battle has ended. The slanting sun in the distance shone on this black and red waterway. For a whole day of fighting, the Fazer people paid more than 1,500 casualties, and Strand Te’s loss was even more serious. In addition to an insignificant assault ship escaping, the Strand flagship on which the target was riding was also captured, but the news from above shocked both the young man and General Fazer
No! The entire ship was searched three times on the upper and lower decks of the Fazers, and even the wooden barrels for storing fresh water and food in the cabin were split with weapons one by one. The entire ship was almost turned upside down, and the so-called "woman" was still not found. "Shadow
"It's impossible! The target should indeed be on this ship!" The young man said eagerly, removing the hood that was used to cover his appearance at the beginning, no matter what body weight and bloodstain on the ground, Cover your nose and personally board the flagship of the Strand,
The unpowered Strand flagship lay across the sea, covered with corpses, flames slammed on the rear mast, black smoke billowed up into the sky, and the Fazerites ordered them all. The corpses of the Lantes lined up on the deck of the ship. The blood-filled corpses showed the loyalty of these brave fighters.
"Didn't I tell you? Ask your people to be careful, this is a cargo worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins!" The young man squatted down personally, looking carefully one by one, regardless of the bloodstained hands. General Fazer followed with a pale face. A total of 243 Stranders walked back and forth along the corpse three times. The young man was attracted by the corpse of an old man whose arm had been cut off at the last position of the corpse. /
" Is this the enemy's commander? "The young man stopped, his eyes focused on the military emblem on the old man’s shoulder, with a solemn expression. The old man’s military emblem is a sign like the eyes. The two sides of the eyes are The unfolded Futaba, this is the emblem of the senior officer of the Strand Navy. Seeing the old man’s body, the young man’s face moved slightly. Although the old man was dead, there was a weird smile on the corner of his mouth. It was a triumph. Smile, it seems that in this encounter, it is not the Strands who have lost, but the Fazers!
The young man's eyes lit up, and an ominous premonition filled his mind, could it be. . . . . . The young man seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly turned around and asked General Feize, who was still dazed behind him, with a bad look, "Where is that assault ship? Don't you realize that the sudden impact of the enemy flagship just now is a bit unreasonable?
"Unreasonable? Hmm...it seems to be a little bit!"
General Fezer was taken aback by the sudden question, he hesitated and said, "According to general tactics, if the enemy wants to escape, he should try his best to avoid being over-entangled instead of colliding with each other. We are heavy warships and we are not colliding with us. It’s a good deal, but it will stop oneself completely! If it’s in a panic, or understandable, but the opponent’s commander doesn’t look like that!"
" My lord, there is one less escape boat in the bottom warehouse! "At this moment, a sailor ran over.
" That’s right! Order the fleet to set sail, the target should be on that assault ship!" The young man commanded sharply, "We can’t delay here, we should catch up right away. It should be too late now, then An assault ship has been damaged, and it is still headwind!"
"Catch up? Your Excellency, cross the straight Brob wall in front, which is the range of Gangfei! We can easily encounter Gangfei when we catch up..." General Feize looked sluggish with a face. It’s ugly. He is worrying about how to explain this mission. But he has guaranteed the target to the district governor. The district governor promised to formally recommend him to the kingdom as long as he completes this mission. The head of the navy in Brokai Road, this is a fat shortage that countless people have robbed,
The fleet of ships traveling to and from the Zhibro Haidao is at least 1,000 ships per year. As long as you seize one opportunity, you will be able to obtain surprising wealth, but now, this opportunity seems to be getting slimmer
"The Gangfei Navy has long existed in name only in the naval battle with the Northern Falcon Empire! Don’t worry about this!"
The young man waved his hand and interrupted General Fazer’s words. He retired his hood with his hands. In order to encourage General Fazer to fight, he said slowly, "As long as I can catch the target, I can I will add an extra remuneration to Governor Lobula. I believe that the Governor will praise you very well, so that you will have a good evaluation in this year’s assessment, "
"Okay, okay, I get it!" General Fazer's eyes brightened, and he glanced at the "trophy" reluctantly. Although he was very unwilling to give up, he was able to obtain it. The favor of the district governor is the most important thing. Fazer implements the district governor system.
Regional Governors have great powers. These people are called city kings.
The entire Fezer Kingdom has four regional governors, controlling two-thirds of the kingdom’s population, and then the Algiers area controlled by the central government. Compared with the centralized Central European and Baro area, southern Europe The regime in the Barrow region is more like a combination of interests. Some powerful regional governors are no different from the king. They have complete taxation and personnel appointment and dismissal of their own regions, and they have independent troops and occupy the prosperity. Cities, even in the Central District, do not dare to point fingers at the kings of these areas
Moreover, some of the powers in the Central District still need to try their best to win over the governors of these regions to support themselves. In some countries, the governors of the regions take turns to assume the role.
Fei Ze turned around and shouted to his men who were still carrying the items on the ship, "Let them down, everyone will return to their battleship, hurry up, let's chase that assault ship!"
"Wow"
just outside the sea,
The sea breeze blows the sails of the Dragon-class battleship to bulge like a ball, the huge ship weighs heavily into the sea, and the panicked school of fish jumps out on the sea surface on the port side of the battleship, like a vigorous sea spirit in the pass, smooth From time to time, his back reflects white luster in the sunset light,
6 Dragon Tooth battleships and one Dragon-class battleship appeared on the sea,
Falcon Empire Southern Commander of the Navy, Tigle, is in his captain’s room examining the sea area map on the table. The Congolese Navy is dead in name, and the Congolese who have lost control of the sea completely abandoned their plans to rebuild the navy. Even made the decision to "move to Beijing",
According to the order of the Imperial Navy, in the bombardment of Gangnon-Kyoto, the magnificent Fourth Fleet Commander Tigle was drawn, and he was promoted by His Majesty Falcon. He is now the Falcon Imperial Navy. The person in charge of the southern region is mainly responsible for the control and exploration of the southern waters of Congo, Africa,
The rumored Zhibruo Seaway is undoubtedly the focus of His Majesty Falcon’s request to explore. The task of finding this important channel falls on Tegel’s shoulders,
Tiger can stand out from the famous imperial fleet, and climb up to an important position similar to the commander of the regional fleet that controls more than half of the sea. In addition to being brave and tenacious, bold and careful, and fighting style In addition to delicacy and decisiveness, there is another staggering ability, that is, extraordinary memory
In the report by the Secretary of the Navy Dusternky, the Secretary of the Navy commented on Tegel, "He is a living map of the sea, and he knows the seas he has traveled well. The assault is just not in Kyoto. After performing a full blow, he dragged the chasing Gangfei First Heavy Fleet into the ambush circle on the way back in the fog, precisely because of his outstanding memory. As long as he sailed in the waters once, he even closed his eyes. He can also command a warship to sail in a predetermined direction, no difference, because he has an instinct, even if he closes his eyes, he can feel the direction of the sea from the wind! This is a natural naval commander Enough to serve as an important task for exploring the Zhibulo Seaway!"
"Commander, we are close to the intended sea area!"
The adjutant looked nervous and pushed open the hatch and walked in. The fleet has been sailing on the sea for two days. Although the Gangfei Navy suffered heavy losses, it is the Gangfei Navy that controls the Zhibulo Seaway. To some extent, , Here is an enemy-occupied area that may be encountered at any time
"Really, how about the current and wind direction outside?" Tiegl raised his head, and marked the current position on the chart with the pen in his hand, and marked the key triangle
"The wind is to the southeast, and the current is to the northwest, which is very beneficial for us to return!" the adjutant replied
"Return? No, we have no plans to return until the rumored sea channel is found!"
Tegel put down the pen in his hand, rubbed his swollen temples, and sighed in his heart. Another day was wasted. He looked a little at the cloudless sea outside the window. The blue waves are rippling, the water and the sky are like a sunset. Painting, only one of the most important things is missing,
Where is the rumored waterway?
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
Suddenly, a rapid whistle sounded from the top of the mast overhead, and sailors were running on the deck below
"What's the matter?" Tigle looked up in surprise, and the flag bearer on it was violently pointing to the southeast. It seemed that he had found something. "My lord, an unknown ship was found in the southeast. Battleship!" Seeing Captain Tegel coming out of the ship’s warehouse, the first mate on the deck immediately ran up to report to him.
"Southeast direction!"
Tiegal's face immediately darkened, that was the area he was about to look for, and it was also the most likely direction for the Korean Navy to appear.
He first looked up at the wind direction. The northeast wind. The other party was driving against the wind. He relaxed a little bit. He had a favorable wind direction. He was not afraid of being a member of the navy, but he did not want to be far away from the base camp. Gang non-human encounters,
"Order, the ships are ready for battle!" Tegel quickly issued combat orders,
" first-class battle preparation in the gun chamber... "The middle gun chamber of the Dragon-class battleship heard the sound of the baffle opening,
The newly equipped small-caliber rapid-fire Thor is introduced. The barrel is one-third longer than the original Thor, but the caliber is only one-half of the original Thor. It is said that this small-caliber Thor reduces its power, but it wears The power and range are very strong, because it is an improved version of the Imperial Navy that was only equipped after the war in Africa, and everyone hasn’t actually used it yet.
Regarding this improved combat effectiveness, the Admiralty is cautious, while the sailors do not matter so much. They are well-trained and quickly enter the combat state from the sailing state. The portholes of the muzzle are quickly opened. The black Thor's barrels also protruded from the open sides. Pieces of black muzzles, the cold metal light seemed to have swallowed the sun. Under the golden glow of the setting sun, the entire fleet seemed to explode suddenly. The giant hedgehog exploded with a ferocious aura that was not disturbed by the born. "Prepare!" The shell was stuffed into the barrel by the bomber, and it was ready to be fired only after a command was issued.
The captain of the bombardment is in charge of the rangefinder personally, and everyone's eyes are focused on a rapidly advancing point on the sea level in the southeast. The opponent's speed is very fast, at first it was just a small black dot, then a slowly expanding white sail, and then the bow of the warship breaking through the sea
Commander " ", the gun warehouse has been adjusted and it is ready to fight at any time." A loud report from the gun warehouse
"The first, fifth and eighth groups are ready for filling!"
Tieger stood on the bridge with a cold expression, listening to the reports that were prepared, unexpectedly he did not give the shooting order, he held the look-glass hanging around his neck with both hands, through the round lens of the look-glass , You can see a small, fast assault warship swaying towards the southeast sea.
The sails of the battleship were torn open several times, and the left side of the ship had a huge concave-convex gap, which should be caused by the collision and squeezing of the battleship, but even so, the opponent's speed was still very fast, which could not help but cause Tiegal’s curiosity, his eyes quickly noticed the white waves rolling on both sides of the assault warship’s gunwale, not the traditional paddle used against the wind, but a high-speed rotating roulette on each side, the roulette rolled up white. The waves slapped the sea heavily, making the whole ship look like a giant tuna leaping out of the sea,
Behind this embarrassing and unknown assault ship, a row of black warships are in hot pursuit. It is a completely black warship. From sail to hull, it gives people a very evil feeling.
" Commander, the other party seems to be sending a signal for help! "The semaphore on the mast shouted uncertainly
"Do you ask for help? It should be! Order the ships, there is no flagship order, don’t shoot for now! See the situation before saying "
Tiegl raised his right hand, curled the corner of his mouth, and put down the observation mirror in his hand. He also saw the opponent's flag whisperer on the high mast, waving the flagpole in his hand with all his strength, this stranger The gesture made him uncertain, but apart from continuing to speed up, the opponent did not seem to put on a combat posture,
Under such obvious warning from the own fleet, it is still rushing towards its own fleet alone. If it is considered a kind of combat, it would be a joke.
"Who is in front of you? Isn't it too rash to do this!"
On the Fide, who was escaping at full speed, beside Captain Mura, who was holding the rudder of the battleship, Angeli asked nervously. The sailors on the deck were pulling the sails vigorously. Cable, Stink leaned on the bridge alone and said calmly
"Although I don’t know who the opponent is, but it seems to be a regular navy, it doesn’t matter if I get caught"
"If we fall into the hands of the Fazerites behind, then none of us will survive. Of course, except for this little sister! You are the target of Fazerites! They won’t take you to anything, hey , It’s good to have a prince’s father, even the old man Gilfinite chose to sacrifice his beloved flagship and the lives of thousands of subordinates to cover you!"
"You..." Angeli looked at him angrily, her face flushed with aggrieved face, thinking of the attack she had encountered, those compatriots who had fought bravely against the Fazers to the last moment, and disappeared. , Angeli’s eyes are red, and she can’t speak for a while
"Did the other party reply? Captain Mulla raised his head nervously, and asked loudly to the semaphore on the mast,
" No, the other party didn’t say anything! "The semaphore on the top sounded with a weeping sensation. The nerves of everyone on the deck were tense into a string. The battleship slammed forward, and everyone’s heart was raised. When I reach my throat, approaching a heavily armed naval fleet naked like this is like sending to death
There are seven warships, especially the huge warship, which is like a hill. It is definitely the largest warship Mula has ever seen. It is conceivable that such a giant warship is on it. How many heavy trebuchets will be equipped to crush his assault ship.
Looking at the Strand’s assault ship, like a runaway wild horse, hurriedly toward the unknown fleet regardless of life and death. The Fazer battleship behind had to start to slow down~IndoMTL. com~On Faize’s flagship, a young man with a hood looks at the strange-shaped Dragon Tooth battleship in the distance, frowning his eyebrows, and asks General Faize next to him
"Is Gang Fei Navy in front?"
"No, Gangfei’s navy flag is a cross, and the flag of this naval fleet seems to be an eagle, I haven’t seen it!" General Fazer shook his head in confusion and replied
"Eagle! Is it the Northern Falcon Empire!" The young man's complexion suddenly became ugly. Could it be that the Northern Falcon Empire's scope has been extended to the Zhibulo Seaway! Just inhuman! Has the Gangfei Empire really collapsed! He also heard some of the fact that the Congolese Empire suffered so badly that it wanted to move to Beijing to avoid threats,
But I didn’t think that the powerful Congo empire had fallen to the point where it completely gave up its own waters.
" What about the Northern Falcon Empire? Do they really dare to fight against our Fazer Navy? "A trace of disdain flashed across General Fazer’s face, and he didn’t care about the Falcon Empire. In his mind, the Gangfei talent is the overlord of this sea area. He loudly ordered "Raise the combat flag and warn that fleet not to hinder us!"
" Commander, the fleet on the opposite side seemed to be raising the battle flag! "The shout from the mast made Tegel's face gloomy, and he muttered, "It's really unreliable! If that's the case, it's just for it to be used. Let’s test the power of the improved version!
