Realm of Power

The beautiful Strand Naval Base Camp, Biluland Island, is quiet in the mountains and forests on the island. The early morning sun gives the forest in the mountain fog a hazy white light. The roots of towering trees are winding and tangled on the muddy ground. Like the surrounding stone muddy ground, they are covered with green moss. The thick fallen leaves are like a carpet, soft when stepped on. The air is fresh, and from time to time you can hear a few crisp bird calls. The white traces on the rough sea outside the island are like diamonds set by water on the sea. They look like an indescribable cruel beauty, close to the coast. In this area, the waves hit the stone wall turbulently, and the waves rolled up and rolled up several meters high, emitting colorful and bright light under the sunlight.

"Bang" the door of the conference room opened from the outside, revealing the straight military uniforms of two guards. Prince Anji, Commander-in-Chief of the Strand Navy, strode into the conference hall of the Navy Headquarters. The naval admirals and squadron captains were sitting inside. Seeing the figure of Prince Anji, they all stood up.

"Commander"

Everyone said in unison, the commanders and captains of the four squadrons currently stationed in the country, the Duke of Aihaley who is responsible for external liaison, and Valenbillo, who was in a disadvantageous situation and retreated calmly during the battle in the southern part of Congo. , standing at the end is a young man with a delicate face. The slanted star on his shoulder indicates that he is a squadron captain.

Before Prince Anji came in, many people's eyes fell on him.

Stink, a new naval star who used special tactics to stop the empire's pursuit fleet in the Great Battle of South Africa, and was finally able to save the main force of the Strut Navy. With his outstanding achievements in that time, and the recommendation of captains such as Valenbillo, Stink became the youngest squadron captain in the history of Strand. Not everyone looked past this young man's promotion, although he had a special performance in the Great Battle of Southern Congo. But everyone who can sit here today, who has not fought in the sea war, who has not faced the enemy's sword with his chest, why, you, a young guy, can do it with The status of squad leader is superior to that of most captains!

"Everyone, have you heard about the incident where the Falcon Empire broke the back of its own navy?"

His eyes swept across the figures of several people in the hall, and he seemed to notice the abnormality in the atmosphere. Prince Anji grinned slightly. The tone seemed very happy, and everyone looked at each other. Some people's eyes were bright, and some looked confused. What happened to the Imperial Navy? "

The handsome Duke of Harley, who was standing in the third position, hesitated for a moment, stood up from his seat, and said, "Commander, are you talking about the incident in which the Commander-in-Chief of the Falcon Empire Navy was dismissed because of a soldier?"

"That's right. That was the incident!"

Prince Anji smiled with confidence on his rosy face. Compared with Bapra, the former Commander-in-Chief of the Strand Navy, who was already aging, Prince Anji was in his prime. The straight navy admiral's uniform, the silver trimmed collar, the straight waist, and the whole body are full of strength. His face was strong. His eyes are also very sharp. As long as he stands there, his whole body exudes intoxicating charm, and in terms of results. Since he came to power, he has been quite remarkable.

Sitting on the main seat in the conference hall, he folded his hands. This was a habit of his. Ever since he took over as Commander-in-Chief of the Navy of the Sea Kingdom in the precarious situation of the Sea Kingdom, he had been working hard to patch up with the Empire on the one hand. relationship, the other side was gathering strength, and finally in the battle of Feishan, Defeating the old enemy Feishan people in one fell swoop, news of the victory spread back, shocking the whole country. Prince Anji's reputation quickly rose in the hearts of the navy soldiers. This prince, who had always been kind and trustworthy and good at communication and coordination, suddenly showed his war skills. Many old people in the navy were also stunned.

The power of the Feishan Navy is obvious to all. Although it is not as terrifying as the Falcon Empire Navy, its total number of main battleships is more than 80, and its navy number is 70,000. It has a strong foundation of decades of national investment, and all previous naval commanders are An experienced general, otherwise he would not have suppressed the Strand Navy for decades, but This time, due to various factors of the right time and place, the Strand Navy's full blow finally hit the weakness of this behemoth. Haiguo only sunk eleven warships and sunk seven warships. Injured 57 capital ships of the Feishan Navy, causing it to lose two-thirds of its combat power, and captured its largest shipbuilding port.

In terms of backup, it completely cut off the Feishan Navy's retreat. In the vast eastern waters, the Feishan Navy has become history. This unprecedented victory has greatly boosted the morale of the Strand Navy, which was originally defeated in the Battle of Gangfei. The navy's sluggish state for two months was wiped out because of this battle. Kong, a commander, really wants to be recognized by others, he still needs solid achievements, not to mention that through the coordination of this prince, the Istan people generously provided a large amount of funds and a large amount of timber resource support, plus the prepaid The total cost of training the Istani navy reached five million gold coins.

In the past two months, the Strand Navy's dockyard has been operating day and night, not only replenishing the launch of 17 main warships and recruiting more than 6,000 sailors, but also completely enveloping the eastern part of the Obaron Inland Sea, and in the sea area. To achieve hegemony over the entire eastern sea area of ​​​​Obalo, many areas originally affected by Feishan have Now it has become the sphere of influence of the Haiguo. In terms of specific combat power, although the Haiguo is still far behind the scale of the Haiguo's seventy-nine ships and fifty thousand sailors in its heyday, on the surface, the Haiguo has Currently, there are sixty-three main warships capable of fighting, with 41,000 sailors and more than two hundred other types of ships.

Such a huge naval fleet, second only to the Falcon Empire Navy, completely defeated the already declining Feishan Navy. The resources currently available have already exceeded the previous era dominated by the inland sea.

"Instead of wasting limited power on the vast inland sea, it is better to concentrate on gaining stronger regional hegemony in the sea area. After all, compared with the vast inland sea, the sea country is still too small. If the sea country wants to be truly strong, it must first start from By seizing the hegemony of the east from the hands of the Feishan people, with the large backyard of the eastern sea, the Sea Kingdom can truly have the power to compete with the Falcon Empire Navy. "This is also the early goal of the new naval strategy led by Prince Anji.

"It's such a pity that a famous general who fought in the sea, because of the influence of a certain soldier, caused the Falcon Emperor to be delayed in his rush to return to the imperial capital to show off his achievements. As a result, the emperor became furious. The Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, who has made great achievements for the Imperial Navy, The commander was demoted to the squadron commander... "Prince Anji shook his head with emotion, but the smile on his face undoubtedly showed his happiness in the battle in the southern part of the country. Heroic spirits, that battle was a turning point for Haiguo.

More than 30 main battleships were damaged in battle, more than ten experienced Sea Kingdom captains were killed in the battle, and the inland sea hegemony fell. Unprecedented losses lingered like a mark of shame on the upper echelons of the Sea Kingdom. Navy hardliners because He stepped down due to this battle. The neutral faction represented by Prince Anji has taken over the navy. The imperial fleet's ship strength and artillery prowess, the dazzling performance of the Dragon-class battleships, and the ferocity of the Dragon Tooth battleship all show that this is the world's top naval force. The huge cluster was far beyond the level of the times, but what made the upper echelons of Strand Sea Kingdom most uneasy was the plan for the ambush. The commander-in-chief of the Imperial Navy who is as calm and ruthless as a wolf, Dustrum Kai

"With equal strength, no one in the sea country can stop the offensive pace of the first man of the Imperial Navy." The person who said this was not Prince Anji, but the old commander Bapu, whom the hard-liners of the navy worshiped as their belief and idol. pull. It was also because of the old commander's words that the navy's hardliners chose to compromise with the neutralists. Now, this super enemy seemed invincible. It was actually eliminated by the Falcon Empire Emperor himself. How could Prince Anji, who was thinking about how to deal with the Imperial Navy every day, not feel so happy?

"Love Harley, do you know who the newest naval commander in chief of the empire is?" Prince Angie asked

"Commander-in-Chief. Intelligence shows that the Falcon Empire's new Navy Commander-in-Chief has been confirmed to be Caesar Sauron, one of the top five leaders of the Imperial Army, while Dustelenko was demoted to squadron commander "mainly responsible for external intelligence. Duke Ai Halley, who was working as a liaison officer, said in an awkward tone, "We just received this report!"

"No way, isn't Caesar Zoro a famous general in the Imperial Army? How can he take over the Navy?" As soon as Aihaley's voice fell, the conference hall suddenly became boiling. The admirals of the squadrons of the Sea Kingdom whispered and talked with their eyes. This Caesar Zoro is a famous general in the Imperial Army, and he should have quite extraordinary abilities, but this is the Navy, and naval combat It is not an army operation. It is not just as simple as issuing orders one by one. It also involves a series of things such as warship characteristics, sea area conditions, weather changes, etc. Each of them is enough to affect the success or failure of a large sea battle. Let a person An army general who is not familiar with the navy takes over as the commander of the navy. This Falcon Emperor is too childish!

"There is no problem with your information, but Miss Nadia has brought back better news!"

Prince Anji raised his hand towards the door, and an adjutant came in and placed a document in front of everyone. Prince Anji glanced at the confused faces of everyone, and said with a smile, "You will not believe it, that Commander Dostronkai Official, in order to save his reputation , wants to make a deal with our Strand Sea Kingdom. He will use two Dragon Tooth warships in exchange for our support. He will soon come to the eastern waters as the commander of the squadron, in the name of encircling and suppressing pirates! You are here to send us these two Dragon Tooth warships."

"Oh, two Ryuga-class battleships!"

Everyone's faces were moved. They quickly opened the documents in front of them and showed expressions of disbelief. It was a surprise among surprises. It turned out that Dustelenko was also good at bribery. Some people were also thinking about combining the two dragons. The tooth battleship was given away to Festrante for free. The first general of the Imperial Navy seemed to be in a hurry.

"What do you think of this?"

Prince Anji smiled half-heartedly. No one knew what he was thinking in his heart. But if he really got two Dragon Tooth-class battleships for nothing, his reputation in the navy would even surpass that of the former former navy commander Bapra. After all, even if Commander Bapra, who has been fighting all his life, cannot make a powerful Imperial Navy willing to send two main battleships

"It seems that the number one man in the Falcon Empire Navy has also been forced to panic," said a naval squad leader.

"I actually thought of using such a method to save it, but it's also true that as the commander of the most powerful naval fleet, he was fucked just because of an accident. No one can let go. In a panic and helpless time, , it is reasonable to think of using the piracy problem that has always existed in the eastern seas to make a fuss.

"Just, are there pirates in the eastern seas?" The naval commander paused for a moment.

"Haha!" The admirals in the conference hall laughed and joked. With my strong navy here, where can the pirates come from in the eastern seas! Of course, if those defeated Feishan navy were considered pirates! Being able to get two Dragon Tooth battleships made everyone look very happy. Although many people inside were hard-line warships, the admiral of the neutral camp believed that this was a major victory for the Haiguo strategy, and the warships also I believe this is a sign of stronger maritime strength.

Just when everyone was laughing wildly, a cold voice said

"Since the first general of the Imperial Navy came to the east to fight pirates, that means that everything that happens here can be blamed on the pirates. In this case, why not get rid of him directly? His value It's much more valuable than two Dragon Tooth Ships!" After saying this, the young man with slightly raised eyebrows closed the document in his hand, and the voice in the conference hall fell silent. The thought of getting rid of the first general of the Falcon Empire's Navy, Dustreng Kai, and getting rid of the murderer who caused tens of thousands of Strunt's navy to sink into the sea, shocked everyone's minds like lightning.

"What is this guy thinking!"

"Are you crazy? Although Dostronkai has been demoted, he is still a squadron captain, and his accompanying fleet will not be less than one squadron!" The sudden burst of sound in the conference hall was like a drop of water. Into boiling oil

"If we gather all the strength of the sea country, it is not impossible to launch a siege when the Imperial Navy is completely unprepared." Stink's eyes flashed, amidst all the scoldings. A person with a stubborn face is arguing for himself

"If this person can be retained this time, it will at least delay the Imperial Navy's gaze on the eastern seas for ten years. An outstanding naval general cannot be cultivated in a short time, and a commander-in-chief with a deep understanding of maritime operations can't be cultivated in a short time." An officer requires the forging of various factors. Cutting off a once-in-a-century famous general like Dostelenko is equivalent to cutting off a leg of the expansion of the Imperial Navy! "

"Nonsense, it's just nonsense! Don't you feel ashamed to attack a famous naval admiral in such a dishonorable way?" Someone flushed with anger and pointed at him. "Young people are young people. If you want to destroy an imperial squadron, Do you think the damage will be huge?"

"If we can delay it for ten years, no matter how big the loss is, it is still worth a try!" Some of the admirals also agreed. "If you don't even have any courage, are you still a soldier of the sea country?" People on both sides kept shouting , the scene fell into chaos, barely a fight,

The face of Prince Anji, who was sitting in the main seat, did not change. He still had an indifferent expression. However, his eyes showed some appreciation for the stern-faced young man sitting at the end of the squadron captain's seat. Finally, he raised his hand. Say loudly to everyone "Okay, don't fight anymore"

The debate hall gradually became quiet. Prince Anji looked at Stink who was sitting at the end with a cold light in his eyes, and tapped the table with his hand. "Stink, according to you, can the tactic of a full blow really work?" "

Upon hearing his question, the faces of all the other admirals became solemn. Could it be that the Commander-in-Chief also thought of doing this? Everyone's eyes were focused on the youngest captain of the Sea Kingdom team. Stink bit his lip with his teeth and said calmly with a firmness.

"The reason why the Imperial Navy is terrifying is that it has fierce long-range bombardment, but this is the eastern sea area, which is the local area of ​​our Strand Navy. Our advantage lies in our familiarity with the terrain, and we are not as hasty as the other party. If Choose a specific location, such as an inflexible coast where a warship turns, or a triangular island area where there is no way to escape. If enough power is mobilized and the target is identified, I cannot say that it is 100% sure, but it is 80% possible. some!"

"Commander-in-chief, this is too risky! And it is almost impossible to destroy a fully armed imperial fleet without leaving any trace!" A fleet admiral interrupted and reminded loudly, "To be honest, The suggestion to eliminate Dustronkai is tempting, but once the Empire finds out, we will face brutal revenge!"

"So what if you know, this is the Eastern Sea, our territory. Without the naval genius Dostelenko, the Imperial Navy's combat strength will be reduced by at least 30%, and even if it is a long-distance expedition to an unfamiliar sea area, Even the Imperial Navy would hesitate!" Another admiral sitting opposite said with a disdainful look. "And don't forget that Dustronkai is here to fight against pirates in the name of the east, so everyone is pretending to be pirates. Is that enough?"

"Okay, today's meeting ends here!" Prince Anji snorted with a cold face, his eyes swept over everyone's faces, and there was a murderous look in his voice. "The content of today's meeting is top secret, and any leakage is prohibited." Do you all know that any behavior will be punished in the most cruel way?

"Yes" the admirals straightened their backs and answered loudly

"Stink, come to my office, others should leave first!" Prince Anji waved his hand, and the admirals stood up. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
