Power and Empire Chapter 3868: Cold current is coming (10)
The port at midnight, there is no wind, no fog, and the moonlight is very beautiful.
Under the cold moonlight, a little phosphorescent gleaming on the sea surface, revealing a calming splendor in the silence, like a paradise on earth. But for the Aden Navy, which is full of revenge, there is no mood to appreciate such a beautiful scenery. A storm is sweeping the entire upper Aden Navy
"The entrance to the Gulf of Aden was bloodbathed, and Anxi, the most magnificent city in the Aden area, was destroyed. The entire Aden nation was shaken. The Aden Navy was the first to bear the brunt. In any case, the Navy cannot shirk this responsibility. Maintaining the security of the kingdom’s waters is The sacred duty of the navy, when the imperial navy bombarded our merchant fleet in the Gulf of Aden, and when Ansiadin collapsed and burned under imperial naval fire, where is the kingdom’s navy, which claims to be number one in the sea!"
"Find the Imperial Navy and fight back!"
As the most magnificent city in the Kingdom of Aden, Ansiadin is also the core of the nobles of the Kingdom of Aden. Even in the bustling area, it surpasses the capital of Aden, the political center of the kingdom. The main area of imperial naval shelling is the noble area. The shelling by Ansiadin killed more than 3,000 families of Aden’s nobles, more than 37,000 civilians were killed, and more than 116,000 were injured. Of course, only the imperial navy’s shelling could not achieve such casualties, but that was destroyed. The Aden Anxi earthquake is naturally regarded as evidence of the raging empire. Since the imperial naval fleet comes from the mouth of the Gulf of Aden, where is the Navy of the Kingdom of Aden?
The enthusiasm of the people, the glorious Aden Navy became a bereaved dog that everyone shouted and beaten overnight,
"The Aden Navy was carrying out combat orders at the time, and the rest are secrets of the kingdom"
The explanation of the Admiralty of Aden looked pale and weak, and the Secretary of the Navy Isadi had to choose to remain silent amidst the scolding. At this time, it was only after the resignation of the former Aden navy commander and legendary naval commander Gudeya. In less than two years, because Isadi was a student of Gude Yage, this fiasco is also regarded as the end of the golden age of Aden’s navy
There are tribulations. Now the Aden Navy can’t wait to lower their heads below their necks. The admiral’s uniforms on their bodies are completely afraid to show up on the street. It is the King’s order to lurk in the waters of the King’s Capital. Of course it is not possible at this moment. Speaking of it, the navy fleet then launched across the board, madly looking for the main force of the imperial navy for a decisive battle, and striving to be ashamed, even if it is fighting this life, it is necessary to wash away the shame and shame imprinted on the kingdom’s navy
However, the situation that made the Aden Navy feel at a loss appeared
Previously, it was aggressive, like the main force of the Imperial Navy in the Gulf of Aden with a sharp knife. At this moment, the world has evaporated and disappeared without a trace. It seems like it has been in the future. If it were not for the entrance of the Gulf of Aden, it has not been cleared yet. The wreckage of Aden’s ships, and the huge pit spreading more than 30 miles like a huge cross in the Anxi Port of Aden, all prove that the Imperial Navy not only came, but also destroyed this great city known as the crown of Aden. You have to think if you have a hallucination
Isadi, the commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy, sitting right in front of the conference table, was just a few days away, the once vigorous and powerful minister of the navy, although he is still neatly dressed and sitting in an impeccable posture. There, put on a stance of listening attentively. But I just don't know why, all the people in the meeting can feel that God has taken something out of Isadi's body.
It turns out that he just sits lazily, even the note-taking staff in the corner can feel the pressure of the new admiral of the navy, and can feel the man’s strong self-confidence
Now, this confidence is gone.
The disappearance of the imperial navy puts tremendous pressure on the commander-in-chief of the Aden navy, and the ambush completely failed! Looking at the Aden Navy’s ambush in the Royal Capital at this moment, it seems so ridiculous. They were completely fooled by the Imperial Navy. His Majesty the King has ordered the second prince of the Royal Family of Eero to be imprisoned, but this does not solve the navy’s current situation. The embarrassment, the invisible enemy is the most terrible
Moreover, the impact of the imperial navy’s long-range attack is not just as simple as a battle. The imperial navy has traveled thousands of miles, proving that the imperial navy has super-long navigation capabilities. The imperial navy raided the Gulf of Aden. The shelling of Ansiadin not only caused an uproar in Aden, but also shocked the countries with coastlines around Aden. The influence of the empire easily crossed the barriers of the northern desert and extended to the Gulf of Aden and the southern part of the Gulf of Aden further east. In the past, these countries around the Gulf of Aden only knew that the Falcon Empire in Barrow in Northern Europe was powerful, but after all, separated from the great desert, they only held a remote view of the empire. In the eyes of these neighboring countries, the Kingdom of Aden was The most powerful, but now, the imperial navy's raid on the Gulf of Aden is like displaying a powerful force in front of these national forces. For the first time, the empire is no longer out of reach, no longer No contact with this continent at all
The special envoys of various countries in the Aden capital are all observers representing their country and their territorial power in Aden. If you had bowed your head to the Kingdom of Aden before, then at this moment, because of the imperial navy's raid on the Gulf of Aden, it has already begun to surging in secret
There are too many people who don't want to see the Aden Kingdom become the Aden Empire! Waiting for people who want to fish in troubled waters in this war between the Empire and the Kingdom of Aden, and more!
Ironically, it was the Ikars who expressed their cynicism about the combat capability of the Kingdom of Aden before the war, but now they have become supporters of the Kingdom of Aden. As one of the great powers of southern Europe, Ikal, although with one of the great southern powers The Kingdom of Harvey is an iron brother, but when the Kingdom of Harvey was swept by the Martin Liya people, not only did the Ikars fail to rescue them, they found the opportunity to insert a knife behind them, and swallowed the kingdom of Harvey, the most abundant on the Harvey Plateau. Several important resource areas of iron ore and cotton have faintly surpassed the Harvey Kingdom.
This time, the Kingdom of Ikar sent a special mission to Aden to express its support for the Kingdom of Aden that had already conquered Central and Biyah to be promoted to the Empire of Aden. It also announced in a unique way for the Ikars that in the Harvey Plateau, Ikar has 100,000 Sword is always ready to join this war at the invitation of Aden. The Kingdom of Ikar also expressed its willingness to provide the Kingdom of Aden with high-quality Roshan iron. Roshan iron is a special product of the Harvey Plateau and recognized as the highest-quality iron ore. The weapons forged are sharp and powerful. It has always been Harvey. The kingdom has never traded combat readiness resources, and now the source of Roshan Iron falls into the hands of the Ikars,
The Ikars are different from the Harvey Kingdom. Because half of the territory of the Harvey Kingdom is on the plain below the plateau, and for many years, it has obtained high-quality forging steel technology from the sect country. Therefore, the weapon forging technology of the Harvey Kingdom is in South Europe. Luo is also one of the best. The Ikal people have long lived on the Harvey Plateau and are called the son of the mountains. They do not communicate extensively with the outside world. The Ikal people trust the mountains the most. The common proverb is "The mountains are "Ikal’s best friend" so for many years, in the alliance has been in a position suppressed by the Harvey Kingdom. This time, taking advantage of the great loss of the Harvey Kingdom’s national power, the Ikal’s addition to the invasion war against the Harvey Kingdom In addition to seizing important resources, it is extremely eager to obtain advanced forging steel technology
And this technology, looking at the entire Southern Obaro, except for the Harvey Kingdom, the Order Kingdom, and the Erot Empire, only Aden
I sell you mine, and you give me the technology. The Ikals came with such conditions. Of course, the Ikals are nominally under the slogan of Alliance Aden, and the Ikals are willing at this special moment. The supply of high-quality ore naturally received a strong welcome from the people of Aden. The reason for the southern defeat was not because the weapons were inferior to the empire. Moreover, the Battle of Bethard in the South also exposed the weakness of the Aden army, that is, the armor rate was too low. The weaker powers in the surrounding areas still have an advantage, but against the imperial army, which is strong in heavy armor, more than 100,000 people can not beat 20,000. This is a clear proof. The Aden Military Affairs Department has ordered the urgent production of 100,000 armors. The problem is, This requires huge iron ore support, and the arrival of the Ikars at this moment is really sending charcoal in the snow
Several days in a row. All the people of Aden spontaneously went to Ikar's special envoy to lay flowers. And the tune of the special envoy of Ikar also sings higher and higher.
In the eyes of most people in Aden, this battle has been unable to recover from the land war, but it is impossible for the 20,000 emperors to hit the Gulf of Aden. The navy is different. The imperial navy has demonstrated that it can directly bombard. The strength of the Gulf of Aden is the most terrifying. The south is too far away, and it is far less painful than the sea. Human nature is like this. First of all, the most concerned thing is the recent threat.
From the Admiralty to the Royal Palace, Isadi’s special carriage was full of angry protesters from the window! All kinds of banners cover the sky and the sun.
The city guards did their best to maintain order, blocking the impact of these crowds on Isadi’s carriage. All the voices outside gathered together and became a word of Yading, national humiliation, national humiliation! At that moment, Isadi's adjutant found that the minister of the navy of the kingdom, who was like an iron man, leaned his head weakly against the car window, and his temples were already gray.
When the blade was the most threatening, before it was pulled out of the scabbard, the nerves of the Aden Navy at this moment were completely stretched. They captured the main force of the Imperial Navy at the expense of Ansiadin. The time for the demon sword to be unsheathed ahead of schedule, and now this demon knife, after cutting open the Yading Anxi with a single knife, retracted its scabbard again!
The blade retracted the scabbard, which means it will be pulled out
But Isadi has no way of knowing where he will fall next time. As for the main force of the Imperial Navy completely withdrawn, this is completely impossible. The Imperial Navy has assembled half of its combat power, spanning thousands of miles and crossing Egypt. Luo Dahe Road is just to show off in the Gulf of Aden. Who believes this kind of words?
‘Southwest. . . Still southeast. . Or eastward? "
Isadi mumbled to himself for a long time. From that moment on, the adjutant discovered that the minister of the Navy, who was once decisive as a knife, was in a state of madness, with bloodshot eyes that were red, like a dog that has been forced into a dead end. At this moment, the whole The Aden navy is eager to get a track of the imperial navy, and then rushed forward and shredded it
"I can't find the traces of the main force of the Imperial Navy. How could it be possible. How can I find such a large naval fleet? Or did the navy dare not fight and deliberately pretended not to know?" A series of questions from several army generals, the army’s fiasco in Berthard, urgently needed to find a reason for the failure, and the navy’s ineffective combat can be used to divert attention
Isadi turned his gaze slowly. Looking at one of them, he faintly said, "Sir Salmondeo, forget about the others, don't you know why the main navy is not at the mouth of the Gulf of Aden?"
The people he looked at were Salmondio, the material coordinator of the Ministry of Military Affairs, and Toblas, the commander of the Fourth Army, one of the two armies of the kingdom. Both of them are known as wise generals. The kingdom's war in the south, if not Sam Dio, the material coordinator, is working at full capacity, and the logistics support of the nearly 200,000 Aden army has long since collapsed
Before being transferred to the Ministry of Military Affairs, both Salmondio and Isadi served as undersecretaries in the Admiralty. However, Samodio is relatively low-key, far less aggressive than Isadi, but cautiously hiding In the shadows, the diligent operation of mobilization, logistics and other services, the rapid expansion of the Royal Navy in the Aden and Nanxi waters over the past ten years, this logistics master is indispensable, and now, even this one is also out of the Ministry of the Admiralty. The former colleague also showed his duty to Isadi. As for the reason, Isadi also knew the reason. Salmondio’s son died at the entrance of the Gulf of Aden and was the captain of the entrance frigate
"Commander, do you know that half of the Aden Navy’s main fleet, with more than 20,000 naval sailors floating on the sea, how much supplies and military expenses need to be consumed every day?" Salmondeo took a deep breath, and the southern Bossard had already Consuming a huge amount of military resources, the large desert to the north is also screaming for reinforcements and materials. However, the main force of the Aden navy has been unable to find the target. The military materials must be provided to the navy first, because the main force of the navy is in the Gulf of Aden, and He did not dare to bear the notoriety of the Navy’s lack of success due to the lack of supplies and military expenditures, so he could not tell. Samodio smiled bitterly and lowered his head. At this time, he avoided Isadi’s gaze. .
"Commander Isadi, how long does it take for the navy to find traces of the imperial navy?"
"Yes, the army has already lost, the navy must not lose, nor can it be lost~IndoMTL.com~The national luck of the Kingdom of Aden rests on the shoulders of the navy. If the navy continues to avoid war like this, We only have to report to your majesty that you will be revoked from your post and appoint a naval commander who dares to fight."
"For this battle, the Admiralty has already planned and will not bother you."
"Coward!"
There was a brushing sound of standing around, and the army officers and several admirals of the naval fleet stood up at the same time, and sneered at the same time. The chair was slammed,
"Even you..." Isadi's gaze fell on the admiral of the squadrons, frozen there, the civilian officers who dared not say anything in the room, saw with their own eyes this powerful naval commander. As if aging at an alarming rate, the expression on his face changed, but in the end, it became calm. He straightened his collar and closed his eyes
"Does your majesty mean it?" A bit of fishy and hot stuff poured into Isadi's throat, but he swallowed hard. Exhausting the last bit of self-control, he let himself sit down, burying his head deeply and arranging his hair. The dull voice seemed to squeeze out of his chest, every word was quickly consuming his vitality. Behind the words is the deepest kind of despair.
