Power and Empire Chapter 2378: The Emperor’s Knife (17)
The new commander of the Fourth Fleet of the Imperial Navy, Dylan Scusser. Standing on the ship's side deck of the flagship Mayflower of the squadron, under the white moonlight overhead, looking at the sea like a layer of hoarfrost,
is almost still on the sea, as quiet as a bend of deep blue with a layer of hoarfrost on it
The Zhibuluo Sea Road at the end of May is the calmest period of the year. Under the moonlight, you can see a lot of densely packed fishes between the battleships. The sea water here freely shuttles, occasionally on the surface. A series of small white waves were left on the ship, chasing on both sides of the warship undulating with the waves, leaving long traces of white waves on the tail. The ripples drifted around, and then collided with the ripples on the side of other warships. , There are more ripples, and it will not disappear for a long time. The fourth fleet on the sea is in a static state. The black hull is undulating with the waves. Twenty-two battleships, two dragon-class ships, and twenty dragon-fangs, One day ago, we departed from the naval base on the northern coast of Gangfei. The docking position is in the front section of Zhiburo Sea Road, which echoes the Fifth Squadron which is docked in the back section of Zhiburo Sea Road.
Because the departure time was in the turbulent time of Lisbon, and the docking position of the fleet was deliberately deviated from the sea trade route, until now, few people could think that the Imperial Navy had been dispatched and scattered along the entire southern coast. A huge net, similar to the fourth squadron, the other six squadrons of the Imperial Navy also opened out of the port.
I thought of the situation when I received the order, even Dylan Scusser didn’t figure out the situation
Secretary of the Navy Dusterenkai opened the door of the meeting room filled with admirals of the Navy with a mysterious face, put a report in his hand on the table and said, "Everyone, don’t ask why, our mission is just Cooperate, this battle plan will be issued to the squadron level. After reading it, please destroy it immediately!” Then with a gesture, the naval staff issued the battle plan to the eight naval squadron commanders.
In the middle of meeting room is a huge sand table modeled on the inland sea, the red representing large battleships, and the orange ships of small frigates, staggered in the sand table representing the sea, like a beautiful colorful picture
Each small flag here represents a real warship. Although the Admiralty is strictly prohibited from attacking by the Admiralty of the Admiralty, on the sand table of the Admiralty, the Admiral has already practiced many times. When this moment really comes, Everyone held their breath. They knew that the empire was finally about to fight back. The attitude towards the empire in the south had deteriorated. As the imperial navy suppressing the south, it was naturally felt that many ports in the south were The entry of imperial merchant ships has been restricted last month. On some small islands close to the coast, some fortress trebuchets built in the south even dared to launch provocative attacks on the imperial navy passing by. In some ports, imperial navy sailors She went ashore alone and disappeared or died.
In April, the Admiralty issued an order to strictly prohibit naval sailors from disembarking in the south.
At the same time in early May, the Admiralty again issued a harsh order requesting that the fleets be concentrated on the coast of Congo and Africa. This simply shows that the Imperial Navy has become afraid of the south.
" Although the imperial navy is powerful, it is sometimes afraid of the pressure of the entire southern region! "Various arguments and arguments are also circulating in the southern part of the Inland Sea. The admirals of the navy are full of aggrieved hearts. Wanting to fight the South’s aggressiveness, but there is no order from the Admiralty, and the empire’s strategic considerations, in order to avoid falling into a two-front war, the navy is strictly forbidden to dispatch a death order, the admiral of the navy can only be in the navy every day. The Ministry made gestures to the chart. Many navy officers asked the Navy Department for vacation in frustration. There was nothing to do anyway. The Navy Ministry also approved all the Navy officers’ vacation requests in one go three days ago.
"I can finally spend June with my family!"
The perennial turbulence on the sea made naval officers feel guilty for their families in their hearts. After approval, the naval base was almost half empty overnight
happily advancing into the house, the navy officers returned home with the receipt of the leave permitting report. When they opened it, their expressions changed. The receipt obviously included an order, strictly urging all officers to return to the base one day later. , The offender is treated as military law, and the order came so suddenly that all naval officers were not mentally prepared yet
As the commander of the naval squadron, he got a document. A naval squadron commander opened the document in confusion, his expression was stunned, and his throat even surged.
"With such a large area, is this going to start a full-scale war?"
"Full-scale war? You have to have that kind of strength in the south!" In the meeting room, there are rare, always serious navy commander-in-chief, Dustellenkai, the imperial navy minister, with a smile, his eyes swept over everyone. Solemn face, said coldly
" This time the battle line is indeed a bit long, but the navy’s deployment of troops is also unprecedented, with six squadrons and 231 combat ships. The admiralty means to seize the opportunity and beat fiercely. Let’s take a look at the disobedient guys in the south. As long as the timing is right and the methods are sharp, our naval power will have an absolute advantage within the scope of their respective responsibilities.
Within the range of !" Hearing the words coming out of the Secretary of the Navy, the commander of the squadron looked in a trance, and there were a lot of inhaling sounds in it, the range of Dustellenkai’s large population. What does 内 mean? The entire coastline? Does that mean that as long as the navy admirals think that they need to strike, they can choose to strike. Everyone knows that His Majesty Falcon always pays blood for blood and tooth for tooth. When the news of the imperial army attacked from Istanbul, The admirals of the navy knew that they would definitely give the six southern countries an unforgettable revenge, but the commanders of the squadron did not expect that the navy would fight in such a posture? Such a large attack surface would simply envelop the entire southern coast.
" Do you have any questions?" Dusterenkai raised his head and asked with a serious expression. The squadron commanders were silent, and one of the squadron commanders bit the bullet and asked boldly, "My lord, What does it mean in this range?"
"As long as you are within the scope of your responsibility, after receiving the signal, you can take a blow!"
Du Stellenkai calmly merged the battle plan in his hands, and said in a condensed voice, "If there is no more, let's set out according to their respective combat ranges! This battle, I will personally take the seat!" Kay's voice paused, his eyes swept across the faces of all the admirals, and he said in a deep voice, "What are you still hesitating? The entire fleet is ready to go in the port, just waiting for your swords to be out of the sheath, as the emperor's sharpest sword. Don’t you want the South to take a look at your edge!"
" Yes! "All the admirals of the navy stood up, their bodies collapsed straight, their voices rumbling in the conference hall, filed out, and ran toward their respective fleets, and they had just been promoted to fourth. Dylan Cousse, the commander of the squadron, was also among them. He saw the adjutant under his fleet's flagship, knowing that the other party should have received a similar order. Without much explanation, the fleet left the northern naval port of Congo. Drive straight towards the predetermined area of the Brokai Road
"My lord, Ship 64 reports, Luansok has a signal!" Adjutant Bonabakari walked up from behind with a dynamic expression, interrupting Dylan Cousse's thoughts. The so-called signal is the roar of the imperial thunder. Although it is far away, in the middle of the night, Thor’s loudness is loud enough to spread twenty miles out of the sea to the location of the reconnaissance ship sent by the squadron
"Luansok! Quick, order the entire fleet to drive towards Luansok immediately"
Dylan Cousse's expression shook, and he commanded loudly that the Imperial Navy's fleet, which had been stationary on the sea for a day and a night, began to turn towards Luansok, and the drooping giant sails were pulled up by the water. When the sea breeze blew, it immediately bulged into a spherical shape, and the speed of the warship increased, and the heavy bow rushed down from the mirror-like sea water, like a fierce beast in the sea emerging from the night, like a sharp arrow. Speeding towards Luansok
In the outer port of Luansok, a medium-sized Fazer battleship is hovering. They were ordered to lock the port in and out. In the dark, the rolling thunder from the port direction became stronger and stronger. The Fazer sailors standing on the deck They all looked at the red light continuously coming from the direction of the port in amazement, this is. . . . Standing on the bridge, Captain Fezer seemed to have noticed something. His gaze toward the harbor was a little gloomy, and his expression began to become uneasy.
"It seems to be a fight!"
On the deck, some experienced sailors were talking in low voices. The sailors looked at me and I looked at you, and soon felt the look of fear in the other's eyes,
The Fezer Navy has only two medium-sized warships in Luansok. Fezer knows that the strength of its own navy is too far from the Imperial Navy. Luansok is only more than ten miles away from the border of the Empire. The imperial navy attack was annihilation of the entire army
In this case, just place two medium-sized warships as the eyes. The direction of the port is filled with white mist. It seems that there is something rolling inside, flashing a red color, and suddenly, the Fazer battleship is on board. The captain's face turned pale, it was Thor. That’s right, only the Thor of the Imperial Navy’s battleship has such an overwhelming power
"Start sailing now, let’s leave here!"
The captain stomped his feet with an ugly face. The port aspect is no longer important. Since the Imperial Navy has already acted, it cannot be blocked by a medium-sized ship of its own. Don’t leave at this time, wait for death, sailor We hurriedly raised their sails and turned around in chaos. On the vast northern sea, the three fastest Dragon Tooth warships appeared on the sea
"The enemy's patrol fleet was not found. Our people are in the harbor. They asked us to bombard the harbor!" The watchman at the top of the mast carefully recognized the light coming from the harbor, and then said loudly to the captain below.
"Do you know the port? You know!" Captain Longya looked away from a distance with a grim expression. The ship's gunwale began to cross, exposing a row of Thor's muzzles, all of them aimed at the port, and the captain passed through. The sight glass has some bright and concave lenses, and I can roughly see the situation in the port. I saw a huge warship, violently bombarding the Fazer soldiers rushing towards the port with Thor, and bursts of fire exploded. , Countless small black dots flew into the air, but for the thousands of Fazer soldiers, these attacks are still unshakable. The Fazer soldiers holding their shields are as dense as ants flocking to sugar cubes. With the battleship,
"Target correction, three hundred and forty meters, salvo" Captain Longfang said in his mouth, and gave the order with a cold expression. The time he came was just right, although I don’t know why, that imperial battleship was attacked. The Fazerite’s siege, but it’s meaningless to me. After receiving the signal, and then following the signal to launch an attack, this is the order of the imperial fleet.
rumbling...
Almost at the same time, a billowing white smoke jetted out from the sides of the three horizontal Dragon Tooth battleships. The huge roar made the sea water turn over, and the anti-shock force of the salvo made the Dragon Tooth battleship's hull translate backward. After a few meters, the side ship’s side suddenly seemed to have been put on a ball-shaped tube, white gunpowder, as the fire flew out, the hull was swayed by the impact of the reaction force, thunder bullets roaring away, swept across the boundless sea, Smashed down with a louder and louder whistling sound, a dense and huge explosion directly engulfed the port platform. The dazzling fire spattered around, and a circle of outward bursting could be clearly seen. The dust was flying, and the people and things that fell around were completely gone. The Feize people in the port seemed to be stunned by the bombing.
"What's going on!"
The sheriff Araven, who was rushing in a huge wave of air, swayed from side to side~IndoMTL.com~ The fireballs exploded, leaving him with only despair in his eyes,
He ordered all the troops that can be gathered in the city to assemble towards the port. Thousands of reinforcements arrived. He also brought a dozen new slings. He originally thought that he could take down the imperial warship in one go, but he didn’t expect it to be even more violent. Suddenly the blow came, and the entire port was covered, with screaming sounds like the devil,
Hualala" The intense flame that exploded, coiled on the ground like a fire snake, making a harsh and sudden burning sound,
In the rising black smoke, the buildings near the port were hit and collapsed. Not only the people inside were buried alive, but even the nearby streets were completely blocked by bricks that rolled down like mudslides.
Some shells directly penetrated the brick walls or windows, causing the inside of the house to explode. A huge fire burst out from the inside, and the whole building was like shattered building blocks, completely shattered from the inside to the outside. , The flying bricks smashed the surrounding residents to blood on the ground, many people were even completely submerged by the torrent of bricks, and there was **** ground everywhere.
in the thick black smoke. It was filled with a disgusting smell, a scorching flame, swallowing everything unscrupulously, and finally turned into a bigger flame, only when the whole port turned into a sea of fire, (if you like this work, You are welcome to (,) to vote for recommended votes and monthly tickets.
