71 Sea Breeze (9)

On December 2, the fleet of the Falcon Dynasty broke through the most important defensive line off the Nord coast, the Ferran Island Chain, and the Nord Second Fleet defending this area was completely annihilated, from the Marquis of Morlie, the commander-in-chief of the fleet, to the soldiers of the fortress, none of them surrendered, and finally were buried together with the collapsed fortress.

Compared with the tens of thousands of casualties on the army side, 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 completely exposed the southern coastal area of Nord to the blows of the Falcon fleet.

With the transit point of the Pheland Island Chain, the Falcon Fleet's range of activities has expanded again, extending from the original Vikia Sea to the Nord Middle Sea, which is quite a fatal blow to the Nord Kingdom, which has been planning a maritime strategy.

Thousands of miles of coastline, like an undefended super gap, made the Nord army, which was already limited in strength, miserable, the battle lasted for 2 days, nearly 7,000 Nord defenders were all killed, and the landing force of the Falcon Dynasty suffered more than 1,700 casualties, with a casualty ratio of 1 to 4,

The results of this naval raid were not brilliant, but it created a precedent for large-scale reliance on coastal fleets to attack fortresses in cross-sea operations.

It also proved that the Falcon army was fully capable of conquering the fortified road fortress in a short period of time, which completely subverted the impression in the minds of most generals that the navy was operating at sea, especially when they found that in the face of the all-pervasive Falcon Navy, most of the entire Nord's thousands of miles of coastline, except for a few points, was blank.

The Nord military circles were shaken, and the Nord army, which had always been strong, expressed extremely serious dissatisfaction with the naval defeat, especially the Admiralty and the First Fleet of Tiha

"It is shameless to ignore the death of a colleague and sell the situation that you have won desperately on land to the enemy in the blink of an eye!"

After learning the news that the commander of the Second Fleet, who was a traditional samurai, did not surrender and was finally buried in the ruins of the collapsed main fort, the traditional samurai generals, who dominated the Nord army, could not bear to ask the naval minister Marquis Felita, the iron-faced admiral, under the collective attack of the traditional samurai generals, he could only say a word at the corner of his mouth, and finally it was His Majesty Yagrolk who relieved the navy.

"If you lose it, we can fight it back, I don't know which one is willing to help the Second Fleet avenge this!" Yagrolk's eagle-like gaze swept over the generals who were discussing in front of him, and said in a condensed voice, "The Admiralty has made a detailed plan, this time it will send 70 main warships, 140 transport ships and 210 warships of the Ali family, and it is estimated that 31,000 troops will be dispatched to board the Ferrand Island Chain in three batches, and it will be necessary to recapture the Ferrand Island Chain within a month."

"70 main ships, 140 transport ships, and 210 ships of the Ali family. &*..Fastest update**......" The messy conference hall fell silent for a moment, and the army generals suddenly became excited, this is a great opportunity to capture martial arts, if the Falcon army is invincible on land, then no one said, they are also invincible on the ocean, such an overwhelming advantage, even if the Falcon Navy comes out of the nest, it is impossible to be low-grade

Only then did the Admiralty Marquis Felita have a chance to speak

"According to known intelligence, the number of Falcon Navy warships is between 80 and 100, of which there are only about 50 warships that are really used for combat, and the rest are transport ships that lack attack capabilities,...,

Its sheer size and steering problems are enough to make these Dragon-class warships, which the Falcon Navy are proud of, the object of being devoured by the sheer number of Nord warships."

Hearing the analysis of the Minister of the Navy, the Nord generals, who were still a little afraid of the Falcon Fleet just now, boiled,

The Admiralty dispatched so many warships, I am afraid that it is already the limit of the entire Nord navy, and the victory or defeat of this battle will completely determine who is the real overlord of this sea area between Nord and the Falcon Dynasty, such a feat is enough to write into the history of the Nord Kingdom,

"Since the Falcon Dynasty can defeat the Salanders with its navy, our Nord navy should also take the initiative to attack!" There were even quite a few army generals who stood up from the queue and strongly proposed to directly attack the southern mainland of the Falcon Dynasty, tooth for tooth and blood for blood.

The direction of the meeting quickly changed from a rebuke just now to the discussion of a new strategic plan, since he can obtain a greater martial honor, who cares about the unlucky man of the Marquis of Molie, Nord is a place that pays attention to military merits after all, and the land battle with the Falcon Dynasty cannot take advantage, and it may be possible to create a new world at sea,

Yagrolk looked at the situation below and was also a little moved, the idea of the Marquis Felita, the Minister of the Navy, hit the biggest worry of the Nord Kingdom right now

On the other side of the vast ocean, there are not only the prosperous urban agglomerations in the south of the Falcon Dynasty, but also the fertile land of Salander, which is extremely urgent and tempting for the Nord Kingdom, which is now desperate to open the gap

The Falcon army has occupied Kugit in the north, Ryerdian in the center, and is now vigorously advancing towards the northern part of the Dorok Mountains.

The path for the Nord army to expand northward has been blocked, and if a new point of attack cannot be opened, and the Falcon Dynasty has completely digested the strong national power, population and resources of Ryerdian, then the fall of the Nord kingdom will not be far off

When the meeting ended, the Minister of the Navy, Marquis Felita, quietly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead in the crowd, and secretly said in his heart, "It's so dangerous, it's finally messed up, what kind of bullshit big action, it's all Marquis Felita who came up with a pat on his head,

Since it can't calm the anger of the army generals, it's better to casually hand in a plan that looks bright and infinite, anyway, the winter sea breeze is coming,

When the time comes, under the fierce waves, on the warship that swings like a swing, not to mention attacking the Fairand Island chain, even if these generals who have never been out to sea stand on the deck for a stop, they can make them faint and even vomit yellow bile water, coupled with the huge waves as high as several floors on the sea, not to frighten these landlubbers who have never even gone out to the sea, and immediately ask to return to land

"Felita, what a wonderful lie you just made!" Just as Felita secretly rejoiced in his own cleverness, a thick palm suddenly slapped behind his back,

The words that came out made Felita subconsciously shrink in fright, and her body stiffened and stopped there

"What do you mean by that?" After a while, Felita, who had mustered up courage, turned his head with difficulty, and saw the new governor of Suruo, Soldton, and relaxed the vigilance on his face,

"You want to scare me to death, don't you, if I die, I'll definitely pull you bastard to accompany me to the funeral," Felita scolded with a smile from her mouth,

He has an excellent private relationship with Salton, both of whom are not from a martial family, and they are important ministers of the kingdom on one side.

Felita was able to ascend to the position of Nord Admiralty, and with the strong support of His Majesty Agrolc, Soldton's proposal for a maritime attack and defense in the last private meeting made a big difference

"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 held back the smile on his face, and suddenly said with a stern face
