Power and Empire Chapter 1906: Fragrant Wind (6)
Let Lidastorf take care of the assignment. The fat man asked him to bring a chart of the inland sea area. He gently moved his fingers on the map, and his eyes followed the Zhibruo Seaway to the location of Lombard Island. Like the Empire, the Trant Navy chose to leave early. This intelligence made the fat man frowned slightly.
"Teacher, I heard that the fleet has occupied Lombard Island as expected! Maybe this is a sign that the Strands voluntarily chose to give up," the office door was pushed open from the outside, in the hands of Bezukaya, who was wearing a straight adjutant uniform. Holding hòuhòu a stack of documents, he walked in from the door and asked excitedly
"Give up?"
Fatty's mouth curled slightly, and he shook his head and said, "Impossible, we spent a full winter in order to figure out just outside the south, and gathered 80% of the empire’s naval power, drew a large number of army elites into the navy. Even so, Dustellenkai did not dare to promise me that he would be able to defeat the Strands, the overlord of the Inland Sea, before he set off, because Dustellen Kay believes that the Strands are not shorter than us to prepare for this war. We use the alliance period to try to understand the inner sea, while the Strands use the alliance period to try to understand us!"
The fat man’s voice stopped, raised his head to look at Bezukaya, and said slowly, “Since the two countries signed a trade alliance, the two sides have been making arrangements. The Stranders are not fools, and we agree to have a foreboding. The two countries that dominate the inner and outer seas will one day become rivals fighting each other.
Moreover, the Strand Navy encountered this time is a completely different type of opponent from the Gaul Navy previously encountered.
"Aren't they all the navy, is there any difference?" Bezukaya put the documents neatly on the table, and the documents were divided into two parts, one part is military documents that need to be processed immediately, and the other part is daily government affairs.
"You don’t understand. The navy of the Strands, the overlord of the Inland Sea, is not like the navies of the previous two empires. We don’t have much advantage against them!"
The fat man opened a document casually, swept his eyes on it, and explained, "The Gaul navy and the Gangfei navy are both navies with their own coastline. Losing the coastline is a failure, so they are trying to protect Own coastline. And had to step by step, facing such a confrontation, strategically, the Imperial Navy could use its own ship’s guns to force it to fight decisively at sea, and finally give it heavy damage, but this set is for Strand The special person has no effect at all,"
"Why?"
Bezukaya blinked, knowing that the Imperial Navy had defeated the Gangfei Navy with a sweeping gesture. But this is the first time that the planner of the entire strategy has commented on the other's fatal point.
"Many people think that the Imperial Navy can expand from one regional sea area to control the sea areas of two continents in just a few years, because the Imperial Navy’s ships are so powerful," said Fatty," but how many people would know In the last year’s war with the Congolese Navy alone, the Imperial Navy lost eleven Dragon Tooth battleships, two Dragon-class ships, and lost more than 3,000 elite sailors. For the Empire, that war was not the case. The scenery outside is as beautiful as rumors outside, Strant’s fixed territory is deep in the inner sea. The extended territory is the entire vast ocean. If the Imperial fleet launches an expedition, it will only be like a giant punching the air. It is useless and a waste of energy, but when they choose to fight in the sea, the Strands occupy the inland sea, are familiar with the terrain, and do not need to be confined to the gains and losses of one island, and any passerby knows that the target is just not the south. Compared with us, the Strand Navy has no burden. They don’t need to consider defense issues. All they need to do is to hide and approach quietly, just like a hunter hiding in the dark with a bowstring open. Waiting for the prey to step into the trap, the secret of being weak and strong is to use this, let go, let go and pierce the deadly part of the prey with one arrow,
Fatty’s voice stopped for a while, picked up his pen, signed his name on the document, and said, “This kind of opponent is the most terrifying. The vast and boundless ocean has a natural advantage of strategic mobility more than land. The Rands knew that the Imperial Navy Thor was a super weapon in naval battles. We were not afraid of confronting any enemy. The Strand Navy did not take advantage of it. Instead, the other side hid the fleet like water droplets into the river. When there is a trace, that is the most terrible. You need to know that the most terrifying knife is not the sharpness when it falls, but the cold light that greets the opponent before it falls. Both sides are preparing for a naval battle, which is not good for the empire from the beginning. The ultimate goal of the Imperial Navy is undoubtedly the southern port of Congo. The Strand Navy only needs to hit the imperial navy in its dilemma at a critical moment, and it will be enough to make the Imperial Navy’s strategic plan for the southern part of Congo to be defeated."
"Why does the teacher think like this? Maybe the Strand fleet just stopped somewhere to rest!" Bezukaya expressed his doubts, after all, the Strand Sea Nation and the Empire are allied. In a few months, the relationship between the two sides should not be so bad as to meet each other"
" No, because Lombard Island, it is the warning light that flashed in my eyes, "Fatty said to his disciple in a dull voice." Since I went to the battlefield, don't report a fluke. Psychologically, it will kill people. From the map, Lombard Island is located in front of Zhibulo Seaway. It is a vital support point for entering the inner sea from the open sea. Whoever controls Lombard Island is equivalent to mastering Zhibulo Seaway. As a rule, the Strand, the inland hegemon, cannot ignore such an important strategic point. In any case, it needs to be contested.
However, the imperial navy's seizure of Lombard Island went smoothly this time, and the number of people lost did not even reach 10, and 8 of them were drowned because they fell into the water on the way, which just proved the worst guess in my heart. In fact, the Lantes have already set up traps. "I believe that between Lombard Island and the southern coast of Congo, the Strands will put a trap that can completely relax the Imperial fleet!"
"A trap that can let the Imperial fleet relax its vigilance? What will it be?" Bezukaya asked worriedly, holding his chest in his hand.
"I don't know, I dare not guess a little bit!"
The corners of the Fatty’s mouth smiled slightly. "The Strant people may not have thought of it. Some things are too much, but they are too sharp. The other party wants to let a group of people who don’t know the way fall into a trap! At least it needs to be too sharp. Provide a guide that provides wrong information, and this guide should at least show that he is a qualified guide! And the Imperial Navy happened to catch such a guide! So sometimes even if it’s a trap, don’t put your own The opponent is foolish! I believe Dustellenkai will know how to do it! The fleet will rest on Lombard, until even the opponent is impatient! At that time, let’s see what the opponent’s trap is!"
"Papa" There was a knock at the door, and a guard walked in and stood up straight and saluted and said, "Your Majesty, the carriage is ready!"
" Carriage? Is the teacher going out?" Besukaya was slightly surprised. As the teacher's personal adjutant, she didn't even know that the teacher had such an arrangement.
"Well, it was decided temporarily!"
Fatty's face was a little embarrassed, and he closed the file in his hand apologetically. Varysian recommended a person to me in particular. It is said that this person is full of talents. Especially among the young people in Puk Tau is very prestigious. The biggest advantage is that this person used to serve as a military staff officer in the southern army of Congo, and he personally participated in the military arrangements in the southern region of Congo, because of the war between Phutau and the Congolese Empire After winning, he chose to return to China to serve. He is currently a member of the Duke of Buddhism in the Self-Defense Army, but you only know that the Duke of Buddhism is very talented, and he does not value this returnee very much. However, Varisian appreciates this person very much, and thinks that if he can absorb this person, the empire's war against the South of Congo will not be equal to half of the war in advance. I want to take a look. If you are really a talented person, I don't mind getting involved in the empire's battle against southern Congo! Moreover, the troops recruited from the general area do need a sufficiently capable person to command."
The fat man made a gesture to Bezukaya, indicating that you should look at other government documents first. If there is no problem, sign first, and if there is any problem, put it there and check it later
blue stones, brick walls, small streets. On both sides are the houses of the 12th century in the style of the general coastal area. These houses made of blue bricks seem a little dark and gloomy. At first glance, it gives people an old-fashioned atmosphere. The fat man’s carriage drove into such old streets and alleys. In most of the newly built Lisbon Torres, the sight of such a place made the fat man feel a little unbelievable. This street is not long, but not short, and there are many intersections with other roads, making the crossroads show two completely different styles. Looking to one side, the buildings on both sides are lined up, giving people a sense of trendiness and style; looking to the other side, time seems to have stagnated, and everything seems to be still in the twelfth century. Because of the remoteness, there are no pedestrians in the old streets. The **** was swept to both sides of the street and piled up, and there was no time to clean it up for a while.
"It's the front, Your Majesty!"
Varisian showed great excitement." Under the key promotion of the Burrows family, his position in the glory of universal set was quickly elevated, and he has become the person in charge of military command in the glory of universal set. The position in the universal glory is second only to the power of the Burrows family standing behind it. It is also ironic to say that this newly emerged military commander will be the genuine legion of the Falcon Empire. Long, and the former head of military command is the hapless one of the Papley family who is now being stuffed by the fat man.
With such a status, Varisian realized that in the "universal glory" that he came into contact with, not all of them were innocent and passionate young people. There were really a few young people with extraordinary insights, and These young people don’t have much enthusiasm for general practice. The reason why they join the glory of general practice is partly because of the family’s understanding of the reasons. They are drawn in with the family, and partly because their talents cannot be displayed. Regional commerce is booming. For the original intellectual and military class, several streets were thrown out at once, making this type of people feel abandoned by the times and society, so for various reasons, they joined the general glory. /
Varisian caught this and pulled these people to form a gathering of military enthusiasts. As the person in charge of military operations, he has the power to independently set up special forces.
The carriage stopped in front of an old wooden door, and Varysien respectfully opened the door. The fat man walked down from inside, tidyed up his windbreaker, raised his collar, and scanned the house numbers on both sides of the street. The narrow door is about one meter wide, just enough for one person to enter and exit. On the left side of the door hangs a blue house plate that says "No. 25, Atta Avenue." Not far from the street, a team of imperial guards that had been arranged in advance, dressed in civilian clothes, blocked the road, as long as there was a slight movement inside, within ten seconds, the imperial guards would open the door and rush in.
The meeting place was an old three-story small house. The door looked unusually old like this house. The shaft of the old bronze door was covered with green patina. The surface of the door is also mottled. There is a bronze handle on the door, and the bottom of the handle is also full of embroidered grips, but it is as bright as new. The fat man realized that it would actually be a library, he looked at the embarrassed Varisian next to him with questioning eyes
"This is a gift from a family, because they think I am a person who likes to read!" Varysian sneered very embarrassedly
"You? Reading?" The fat man rolled his eyes. These general jīs, who deserve to be sold out by the Burrows family, didn't know that they would think that a guy like Varysian likes to read? In addition to the popular pornographic pictures, this guy has flipped through a book that has something to do with the book?
"Your Majesty, please be able to tolerate it! Although many of them are indeed very insightful, few have actually been on the battlefield. So the tone is more conjecture and emotional words" Varysian explained Said that these people do not know their true identity, so for His Majesty who suddenly joined the rally, he can only explain it as an enthusiastic and honest military enthusiast,
"No problem, I know what to do!" The fat man nodded a bit, he just played stupid, he is his own business
Valisian opened the door respectfully and entered. The fat man followed behind and made a light "dingdong" sound. The door is connected with a string of seals.
"My lord!"
There were many people in the house, so when the bell rang, everyone turned their heads and glanced at the door. They are all young people with very good spirits and full of vigor. In these, the fat man unexpectedly saw a familiar and dazzling figure, turned out to be the girl from the Papley family,
the same. Everyone saw Varysian,
To this boss who has a cheerful personality and a sense of humility. Everyone stood up and showed respect. Varysien, who was dressed in a black dress, possessed the breath of a sharp sword out of its sheath. He walked over and gave people a sense of oppression without anger and might. At any rate, he is also a famous empire who has been fighting for a long time. The total number of swords and arrows scars on his body is 17 or 18, criss-crossing, and the impact on ordinary people can be imagined. He deliberately exposed it once in the hot spring. Helping young people who have never been on the real battlefield shocked and surrendered. Of course, some people questioned the status of Varisian, but the main player, the Burrows family, strongly supported him. En will become the administrator of the empire's Putao region, and the Burrows family will not spare any effort to please. Varisian's position in the Putao Light cannot be shaken
"This Viscount Dutan is also a fan obsessed with military affairs. He has just joined the organization, and most people may not know him! But it doesn't matter." Valisian explained Fatty to others." Today I specially brought him here. In addition to letting everyone know each other, there is a more important content, that is, the discussion about the content of this war between the Empire and the Congo and Africa. I hope that everyone can speak freely and share their views on this war. Say your views without reservation!"
"Tuava, you start!"
Varisian directly named one of the outstanding ones. This is a young man with flax-haired, handsome, with a straight nose, and his eyes are full of youthful vigor. Obviously, this young man It is not the first time that Man has been named. With a somewhat proud and complacent expression on his face, he began to present his arguments about the Falcon Empire and the Congo-Fei war.
"The war between the Falcon Empire and Gangfei should be one-sided!" Tuawa's voice paused, without immediately explaining which side was being overturned, enough to attract everyone's attention
"Do you think the Falcon Empire will sweep Gang Fei? Just like last year?" One of the discussants said with a hint of dissatisfaction. "Don't forget, this time, Gang Fei is not fighting in one country. They own the entire Central Europe. With the aid of the Congolese, the military strength of the Congolese in the south exceeds 200,000. Together with the strength of the countries, it should be able to exceed 400,000. The current force of the Falcon Empire in the general set is only 100,000 dead!, 100,000 people! Swept 400,000 people? Are you sure you are not talking nonsense?"
"One hundred thousand swept four hundred thousand. This seems impossible, but please don’t forget who is in charge of the Putao area!
" The Battle of Rusty, which sensationalized the entire Europa in the north, should you remember, this majesty used 200,000 troops to kill nearly 600,000 people in the Gaul Empire. Before your majesty, who dares to say that it is impossible!" The handsome young man with flax hair said solemnly
The air in the room suddenly suffocated, and everyone’s expressions looked heavy, and the rebuttal among them was even more ugly and said, "You are a shame at all, although that one can be called a mobile warfare. Expert. However, there are too many reasons involved in the failure of the Gaul Rusty Battle. At least from the perspective of that battle, the man who used his limited force to conduct mobile operations in corps as a unit. Aimed at the weakness of the Gaul defense. Adopting one-by-one tactics, I have been studying this method of tactics. From a strategic level, the Falcon Army has used this method of tactics very cleverly. Although it defeated nearly 600,000 troops of the Gaul Empire before and after, However, no matter which section of the defensive line is offensive, the comparison between the Falcon army and the Gaul army will not exceed 1:2..."
Fatty sits at the door of the room, he slaps slightly,
He is just an observer today. The previous debates, in his opinion, only touched on some skins~ IndoMTL.com~ The essence of war is deception. The difference between mediocrity and famous general lies in this. Who can deceive? If the opponent is dead, whoever is the winner, but these young people can see these furs, it is already very rare to pull, at least it is enough to command squadron-level battles, if they can be sent to the Imperial Academy for training, they should be able to serve as a Excellent combat adjutant!
" It looks like you’re sleepy? Thank you last time, otherwise, I really didn’t know what to do at the time. "A delicate voice rang in the fat man’s ear. It seems that someone didn’t want to let him go. When there was a fascinating fragrance, the little sister of the Papley family held a notebook full of words, and sat down gently next to him, which made many males in the room look at him. As the only woman in the room, and a woman who values both beauty and wisdom, many people are thinking about how to win the girl’s favor, and no one thought that they would be taken first by a stupid fat guy
" No, I just think it’s too deep, most of them don’t understand! "The fat man tilted his head and smiled at the corner of his mouth and said, "What about you, why are you here?"
"This war is related to the life and death of my brother! I just knew that this was what was discussed in this rally, so I came here with a face! I didn't expect to see you!" The girl’s beautiful eyebrows were full of sadness, all in one place. Under the eyes of the jealous male, his fragrant body leaned slightly against the fat man, a little bird with a human attitude, completely ignoring the eye patches on the floor
