Power and Empire Chapter 791: Sea Breeze (9)
On December 2, the fleet of the Falcon Dynasty broke through the most important defensive line off Nord, the Ferran Island Chain. The second Nord Fleet, which defended this area, was annihilated, up to the head of the fleet, the Marquis of Molie. , None of the soldiers who descended to the fortress surrendered and were buried together with the collapsed fortress.
Compared with the army’s tens of thousands of casualties, the scale of the battle on the Ferran Island chain is much smaller, but its significance is extraordinary.
The loss of the Ferran island chain has completely exposed the southern coastal area of Nord to the attack of the Falcon fleet.
With the transfer station of the Ferran Island Chain, the scope of the Falcon Fleet's activities has expanded again. It has expanded from the original Vikia waters to the Nord Seas. For the Nord Kingdom, which has always been planning its maritime strategy, It can be described as a fatal blow,
Thousands of miles of coastline is like an undefended super gap, making the Nord Army, which is already limited in strength, miserable. The battle lasted for 2 days and nearly 7,000 people in the Nord’s garrison were killed. The landing troops of the Falcon Dynasty suffered more than 1,700 casualties, with a casualty ratio of 1:4.
The results of this sea raid war were not brilliant, but it created a precedent for relying on a large-scale coastal fleet to attack fortresses in cross-sea operations.
It also proved that the Falcon Army is fully capable of conquering strong road fortresses in a short period of time. This completely subverts the impression of most generals that the Navy is operating at sea, especially when faced with the all-pervasive Falcon Navy. , Except for a few points, most of the entire Nord’s coastline was blank. {WW.3, go and read}
The Nordic military is in shock. Regarding the failure of the navy, especially the desperation of the Admiralty and Tiha’s First Fleet, the ever-strong Nord Army has expressed extremely serious dissatisfaction
"Faced with the death of a colleague and ignored it, and sold the hard-fought situation on the land to the enemy in a blink of an eye, it is too shameless!"
After learning that the Second Fleet Commander, Moray, who was a traditional warrior, had not surrendered and was finally buried in the ruins of the collapsed main fort, the traditional warrior generals who dominated the Nordic army. Unbearable at the court meeting, collectively questioned the Minister of the Navy, Marquis Ferrita, the pale-faced Minister of the Navy, under the collective troubles of the traditional military generals, he could only say nothing, and in the end it was Agrork. His Majesty relieved the navy.
"Lost, we can fight back again. I don't know who is willing to avenge the Second Fleet!" Yagrork's eagle-eyed gaze swept over the generals who were discussing in front of him, concentrating. "The Admiralty has formulated a detailed plan. This time it will send 70 main battleships, 140 transport ships and 210 battleships of the Ali family. It is estimated that 31,000 troops will be dispatched and boarding fees will be divided into three batches. Lan Island Chain. Be sure to recapture the Ferran Island Chain within one month."
"70 main battleships, 140 transport ships, and 210 battleships of Ali's family..." The chaotic conference hall fell silent for a moment, and the army generals suddenly became excited. An excellent opportunity to win Wuxun at once. If the Falcon Army is invincible on land, no one said that they are also invincible on the sea, such an overwhelming advantage. Even if the Falcon Navy came out in a hurry, it can’t be low-end
At this time, the Minister of the Navy, Marquis Ferrita, had the opportunity to speak
"According to the known intelligence, the number of Falcon naval ships is 80,100, of which only about 50 are actually used for combat. The others are transport ships lacking attack capabilities, although the legendary Falcon The navy has newly launched 10 huge Dragon-class warships, but they are scarce in number and huge in size. They have little effect in the strangulation of hundreds of warships.
Its huge size and steering problems are enough to make these Dragon-class warships that the Falcon Navy is proud of. Become the target of being swallowed by a large number of Nord warships"
Heard the Secretary of the Navy's analysis, the generals Nord, who had a trace of fear for the Falcon fleet just now, were boiling over.
The Admiralty has dispatched so many warships, I am afraid it is already the limit that the entire Nord Navy can use. The outcome of this battle will completely determine the Nord and Falcon dynasties, who is the real one in this sea area. Overlord, such a feat is enough to be written into the history book of the Nord Kingdom,
"Since the Falcon Dynasty can defeat the Salanders with its navy, our Nord Navy should also take the initiative!" There are even many army generals standing out from the queue, and it is strongly recommended to attack the southern mainland of the Falcon Dynasty directly. , A tooth for a tooth, blood for blood.
The wind of the meeting quickly shifted from the reprimands just now to the discussion of the new strategic plan. Now that he can obtain greater martial arts, who would care about the hapless Marquis of Morley? After all, Nord is a man who pays attention to war merits. In this place, the land warfare with the Falcon Dynasty cannot be taken advantage of, and it may be able to create a new world at sea.
Agrork looked at the situation below and was also a little moved. The idea of Marquis Ferrita, Minister of the Navy, hit the Nord Kingdom’s biggest worry now
Across the vast ocean, there are not only the prosperous cities in the southern part of the Falcon Dynasty, but also the fertile land of Salander, which is extremely urgent and attractive to the Nord Kingdom, which is in urgent need of opening the gap. Up
The Falcon Army has occupied Kujit in the north and Swadian in the middle, and is now vigorously developing towards the northern part of the Dorok Mountains.
The way for the Nordic army to expand northward has been blocked. If it can’t open a new attack point, wait until the Falcon Dynasty completely digests Swadian’s strong national power, population and resources, then the time for the Nord Kingdom’s fall Not far away
When the meeting was over, the Lord of the Navy, Marquis Ferrita, quietly walked in the crowd, wiped off the cold sweat from his forehead, and said in his heart, "It's dangerous, but I finally passed by. Any big **** action is entirely Ferrita. The Marquis came up with a pat on his forehead,
Since the anger of the army generals cannot be calmed, it is better to hand in a plan that looks bright and infinite. Anyway, the sea breeze in winter is coming,
At that time, under the fierce waves, on a warship that would swing like a swing, not to mention the offensive on the Ferran Island chain, just let these generals who have never been to the sea stand on the deck for a They were so dizzy that they even vomited yellow gall water, and coupled with the huge waves as high as several stories above the sea, they were scared and immediately demanded to return to the land if they didn’t send these land ducks who had never been out of the sea.
"Ferita~IndoMTL.com~ The lie you just made up is really wonderful!" Just when Ferita was secretly grateful for his brilliance, a thick palm suddenly patted his back.
What he said made Ferrita's head shrank in fright, and his body stopped there stiffly
"What do you mean by your excellency?" After a while, the courageous Tierita turned his head with difficulty, and saw the new Governor Su Luo, Salton, and relaxed his vigilance on his face.
"Want to scare me to death, do you? If I die, I will bring you **** to be buried with you," Fei Lita said with a smile,
He has a very good private relationship with Salton, both of whom are not from the martial arts family and are important officials of the kingdom.
Felita was able to ascend the position of Secretary of the Navy of Nord, and received strong support from His Majesty Agrork. Salton’s proposed maritime attack defense in the last private meeting played a major role.
"Actually, I think your plan is really good. If you can make a detailed plan, maybe you can really poke a big hole in the belly of the Falcon Dynasty!" Salton kept his smile on his face. Suddenly said with a serious face
