Realm of Power

The huge body of the Imperial Dragon-class main battleship is reflected in the golden sunset. The white waves hit the side of the ship, making bursts of crashing sounds and bursts of white foam. Watch the huge white sails slowly float in the golden color. After descending, Commander Casti of the Imperial Central Asian Squadron took a deep breath.

"If the main force of the Aden Navy does not retreat, the squadron will not be allowed to attack. Is this what your Majesty means?"

Casti asked Kurumas, the fleet supervisor next to him. In the Battle of Mars Crescent, the Imperial Central Bibia Squadron became famous in one battle, but with the direct abandonment of the entire southern sea area of ​​Central Bibia, it also This once blockbuster fleet fell into a state of low morale. As part of the proud Imperial Navy, it could only watch the Aden Navy operate within its own range, and the entire The fleet had to be ordered to hide in an inner bend near the edge of the sea in southern Zhongbia. This inner bend is located in a secluded outlet on the southern coast of Zhongbia. If you don't look closely, it is almost difficult to find it. The Biya Squadron is located in the harbor. "Does the commander want to go out and fight to the death with the main force of the Aden navy, and then completely lose the empire's naval power in Central Biya?"

Squadron Supervisor Kurumas has a stern look on his face. He has a background in the Imperial Supervision Department. The Empire has given Castil, a naval genius from Strand, the power to command a fleet alone. Naturally, it will not be completely unrestrained. The fact that Custer dared to risk a surprise attack on Mars Crescent, which was heavily guarded by the Adenians, shows how bold this genius of Strand is in using his troops. If he is allowed to act freely, who knows what the final result will be." It's better to die in battle than to hide here all the time."

After getting along for more than two months, Casti shrugged his shoulders. He had long been accustomed to the rigidity of the fleet supervisor. To be fair, this fleet supervisor never interfered in the combat affairs of the fleet. Instead, he used the emperor's personal appointment as the squadron supervisor. With his identity, he requested three more Imperial Dragon Teeth battleships and sixteen transport ships from the Imperial Navy Ministry. Replenishing the fleet, this allows the number of Dragon Tooth warships in the Central Asian Squadron to exceed thirty, plus three Dragon-class warships and fifty transport ships. Overall, this fleet has the necessary number of warships and logistics. The equipment was complete, and what pleased Casti the most was the arrival of two thousand naval officers and sailors with combat experience.

These imperial officers and sailors are not new recruits, but officers and sailors with combat experience from other major fleets. They were drawn from various fleets in accordance with the emperor's orders and experienced two full years of experience in the empire via land. It took months to arrive at the Central and South-Biya Squadron. With the addition of these two thousand people, the number of sailors in the Central and South-Biya Naval Squadron exceeded 8,000.

It’s no wonder that Castil couldn’t hold back. Although he didn’t say it, he admitted in his heart that the emperor’s decision was absolutely correct. He was lucky to have such a lord. If it were another monarch, he would probably know it. The squadron cannot resist the main force of the Aden navy. For the sake of the so-called national face, the squadron will be ordered to fight against the main force of the Aden navy. Absolutely They would not order the abandonment of the entire sea area in order to retain the fleet, especially for the Imperial Navy, which is known as the overlord of the Oparo Inland Sea. The impact would be very significant. Even if Casti is not in Oparo, it can be imagined. The Aden Navy regained hegemony in the southern waters of Central Asia from the Imperial Navy, which had a huge impact on the entire Obarro

"Commander wants to fight so much, he can just sail out on his own ship tomorrow. I can pretend that I can't see you." The corners of Kurumas' lips, the fleet supervisor's, twitched.

"I mean to say," Custer looked embarrassed. "I'm not blind. I can't see the changes inside. Compared with the attack on Mars Crescent two months ago, the squadron can now be regarded as superior in terms of firepower and number of warships." It has increased by more than one-third. In comparison, the Aden Navy is deteriorating. It is hard to believe that you can reap the results just by sitting down. I wonder if the Navy Department will You would say that I am a lazy person who eats the fruits of victory...

Kasti said this from the bottom of his heart, and a sigh appeared on Kurumas's old-fashioned face.

"Indeed, who could have imagined that this would be the result? I heard that the Aden Navy Commander-in-Chief Gudeyago has been transferred back to the country by the King of Aden because of overwork."

Who could have imagined this kind of result. When the main force of Aden's navy attacked the city with such force, what a huge force it was. The outstanding combat power of more than 300 ships in total was enough to shock any opponent, but this one was enough. Fighting for naval power in any sea area, within two months, no one can After experiencing a war, it was dragged down. Because the empire emptied the six city ports in advance, the Aden army that landed was unable to obtain supplies on the spot. It could only put the entire logistics pressure on the navy. In the Luzhou battle, although it obtained Some supplies, but for an army of 200,000, it can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket.

Putting the logistics of a 200,000-strong army solely on naval transportation is unthinkable in this era. When Aden's top brass planned to land in Central and Bibia, they never considered this issue. Now that it's been put on the table, it's completely chaotic. If the 200,000-strong army goes on an expedition, a shortage of food will be a disaster. For this expedition to Central Asia, the Kingdom of Aden has already used its national capital and put pressure on the Kingdom of Aden's century-old national destiny. There is no room for turning back, even if it is like this. No matter how difficult it is, we can only grit our teeth and face it. The supplies were transported from the Kingdom of Aden to Crescent Mas, which were already used by Aden’s domestic merchant fleet. Then they were transported from Crescent Mas to Central Asia, and the entire Aden navy was overwhelmed. Going up there is not enough to meet the demand, not to mention that June and July are the monsoon season in the southern waters of Central Asia. The transport fleet of the Aden Navy knows the danger, but under military orders, it can only forcibly cross it. There are many cases of sinking in storms. yes

Now almost the entire southern sea area of ​​​​China and Bibia has become a disaster zone for the Aden Navy. Conservative estimates show that last month alone, more than 30 transport ships and more than eight battleships of the Aden Navy were sunk due to storms, and the loss of supplies was even greater. There are countless, but the biggest impact on the Aden Navy is not this, but the Aden Navy has been running for a long time and is exhausted. This is the current portrayal of the Aden Navy. While the empire is repairing and expanding its strength, the main force of the Aden Navy is rushing back and forth.

Because the main force of the Imperial Navy has not been found and this huge hidden danger has not been eliminated, the Commander-in-Chief of the Aden Navy, Gude Yago, can only strictly order a powerful frigate group to be dispatched for every transportation. This results in that whether it is a battleship or a transport ship, Unable to get a moment to repair, for two full months, even if the people could bear it, the ship could not bear it. Problems continued to occur in battleships and transport ships. There were a total of 300 battleships. Now excluding Those stationed on several important islands in the southern seas have less than two hundred ships to repair, and they still need to station two parts in Crescent Mas and the six cities in Central Asia. But even so, the Aden landing force still complained. The navy's transportation capabilities are poor and it is always unable to guarantee logistical supplies. Moreover, the navy has seriously swallowed up and withheld materials. The navy said that there was serious wear and tear along the way. In order to make up for the losses, there is no way except to increase the number of transportation fleets!

Just as the two were sighing, a naval officer came from behind, holding a document with a red seal in his hand, and said respectfully to Castile, "Commander, the order just came from the north." "Order from the north." "

Kasti looked at Kurumas. North is the name for the emperor, because the emperor is now in northern Central Asia. Is it a personal order from the emperor? Casti couldn't help but get excited. He took the order document and opened the seal on it, revealing the order book inside. The scrawled handwriting on it just proved its authenticity. The emperor's handwriting was indeed ugly, even Casti, a pirate, People of this background all think so. Looking over, Casti revealed a smile on his lips, "His Majesty asked us to intercept the Aden Navy's transport ship with all our strength from now on. Your Majesty finally thinks it's time for us to take action!"

Castil took a big breath happily and handed the order book to Kurumas in a showy manner. Kurumas took one look at it and handed it back. He said coldly, "I am not responsible for the battle, since it is His Majesty the Emperor." Just carry out the order. I will summon the admirals of each ship to hold a meeting now." Kurumas turned around and left.

Holding the emperor's order book, Casti's eyes sparkled, and the corners of his mouth slowly turned up. The sun in the distance came from the sea level. After enduring for two months, he could finally start fighting. He had to admire the emperor's determination. The power of the layout is extremely dazzling. It seems to others that it is performing a magic that is dizzying. It does nothing but uses time to almost exhaust the strength of the powerful Aden Navy. At the most critical moment , giving the enemy the most fatal blow,

The Empire's Central Biya Squadron began to attack. It was not easy to find the transport ships of the Aden Navy. However, with the frequent visits within two months, the Imperial Navy had already figured out the rules of the Aden transport ships. Basically, they would pass by once every three days. The Aden naval transport ship that recently arrived at Liucheng Port passed through this sea area two days ago. It has been observed Castil, who had been in the sea for a morning, gave the order: "Slow down, three knots, follow in a straight line, and pay attention." This was the first time the fleet had not officially sailed for two months. Everyone felt huge pressure, and the officer responsible for observation The lookout man, who had been observing the lookout almost the whole morning, was very alert. The fleet's Thirty dragon tooth battleships formed a line and advanced slowly. The three dragon-class main battleships as the core split a long water mark on the sea, looking very powerful and powerful. "It can't be that it won't come. "Okay," Kurumas muttered in a low voice. "It's impossible. The other party's frequency of once every three days is correct. Even if they don't want to leave Liucheng Port, The Aden Army will also force them to leave. I have a hunch that the Aden Navy is near us." Kasti looked serious. Once he entered combat mode, his authority was unquestionable. Even Kurumas was silent. , when everyone was nervously waiting for the Aden Fleet to appear, the Aden Fleet really appeared. At 3:10 in the afternoon, the lookout post of the No. 98 Longya battleship first sent out a target in the northwest sea, and then. The Dragon Tooth battleship next to it also sent out the same signal.

"Six large battleships. Seventeen medium-sized battleships, and sixty transport ships." The lookout reported the information in a semaphore. Casti nodded slightly, and the blood all over his body boiled. He caught a big fish in the first attack. , more than 80 ships, once they are sunk, the Aden Navy will be busy, "Raise the sails, all attention, sail the northwest sea."

Following the order from the squadron flagship, countless huge white sails began to be pulled up by the imperial sailors. The white sails were swollen by the sea breeze. Under the sunlight, they emitted a dazzling light, as if the sea surface was rising at the same time. A layer of white mist arose. The heavy bow of the battleship shook suddenly, and the water rippled. The Aden Navy on the opposite side also discovered the Imperial Navy at the same moment. The large battleships and medium-sized battleships responsible for escorting quickly drove out from the fleet. Casti looked directly at For more than ten seconds, the opponent took a slight breath and said in a deep voice, "Start attacking!" The battle flag raised from the flagship made the Imperial Navy admirals narrow their eyes into a thin line.

"Fire!" The same order was shouted from countless people at the same time

"Rumble...Rumble..." The Longya battleships lined up fired first, and the side of the ship suddenly seemed like a volleyball tube was fired. After the white gunpowder smoke was sprayed out, it dispersed in a cloud. Almost instantly, the sea surface seemed to be boiled. Generally, when the entire fleet adds up to more than 300 Thors, the scene when they are launched together is like countless small suns flying from one side of the sea towards the other side. The naval battle of Aden in the distance The ship seemed to be frightened by this scene. It originally rushed towards the head with momentum, but the stern of the ship swung and turned. However, the intensive explosion quickly covered the sides of the two heavy warships of the Aden Navy. Even the thickened wooden structure could I could clearly see that it exploded into pieces in the firelight. The huge air wave stirred up by the explosion directly washed away the Aden people on the deck of the ship. The cabin at the stern of the ship was directly blasted into a crater by the incoming fire. You could faintly see someone being blown into the air, and then landed on the water far away. From a distance, it looked like a huge explosion of fireworks. "Something is wrong." , lean on the wings, don't let them escape!" Casti put down the lookout glass in his hand and pressed his hand on the wooden armrest of the bridge with a solemn tone. As expected, Asia in the distance was Ding Haijun left the fleet not to fight, but to escape in the future. The other transport ships were turning hastily. One of the large and slow battleships was hit at the stern and exploded, destroying the second half of the heavy battleship. It was blown to pieces, and a large amount of seawater poured into the stern of the ship. The battleship lost its balance, like a bird dragged by a cyclone, and the entire huge bow stood up high. Everything on the deck was involuntarily sliding down the stern into the sea.
