Forty-seven. Bloody empires.

The telegram of the attack on the fleet soon reached the Dawen Empire, and there was an uproar throughout the empire, and the military department, the cabinet, and the emperor were all furious, vowing to find the murderer and prepare for revenge. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info This slap in the face of the Dawen Empire hurts and hurts. However, the bigger blow was in the back.

An analysis report of damage and attack made the top brass of the Dawen Empire collectively cry, the losses were heavy, all two destroyers were seriously damaged, the captain was killed, two frigates were sunk and six were slightly damaged, seven troop carriers were sunk, five were grounded, and the rest were all slightly injured, and the merchant ships suffered less losses due to being at the end of the fleet, but they also sank two ships and slightly injured one.

What made the top brass of the empire cry were the casualties of personnel, the casualties of the escort fleet:

Admiral, Captain of the Shangwu Ship, Supreme Person in Charge of the Escort Mission, and Commander-in-Chief: Li Weiwu, died heroically.

Colonel of the Navy, Captain of the Jinwu Ship, and Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Escort Mission: Cai Jincheng died heroically.

Lieutenant Commander of the Navy and Captain of the Baofeng frigate: Zhang Benchu died heroically.

Lieutenant Commander of the Navy and Captain of the Baoyuan frigate: Cao Jinyue died heroically.

There is also a large dense list below, and at the end there is a total of 819 people killed or missing, including 42 officers above the rank of lieutenant.

The casualties of the reinforcements were equally shocking,

Army colonel, deputy commander-in-chief of the reinforcements: Ma Yongcheng died bravely.

Colonel of the Army, Chief of Staff of the reinforcements: Thunder died heroically.

Army colonel, deputy chief of staff of the reinforcements: Chen Wuwei died heroically.

Below is still a dense list, which totals 2,653 killed or missing, including 512 officers at the rank of lieutenant and above.

This attack resulted in a total of 3,472 killed or missing in the Dawen Empire.

Of them: 2,918 people.

Officers: 554 people.

In the end, they successfully arrived in Lanfang Country, and the reinforcements who completed the reinforcement mission were only 2,347 people. Among them were seriously wounded: one hundred and sixty-seven.

These warriors are the essence of the empire, and the elite of the empire specially drawn from various units for this reinforcement mission, as well as a large number of nobles and nobles.

Here's an analysis of the attack:

Location of attack: Natuna Waterway in the Natuna Islands. Time of attack: 5:15 p.m. on November 24. Attacker: Unknown (At that time, the enemy ship was flying the pirate flag, but judging from the appearance of the ship, the enemy ship was a cruiser of the Europa Empire, including two heavy cruisers and six light cruisers, a total of eight.) Therefore, the attacker should be the Europa Empire, and the number of the ship and ship should be erased only to hide its true identity. )

Major mistake of the fleet of the Darwen Empire: The fleet did not send reconnaissance ships to reconnoiter the waterway before passing through the Natuna waterway, and the Navian Empire's naval routine clearly stated that when the fleet passed through the dangerous sea area, it should send reconnaissance ships to reconnoiter the dangerous sea area, and only after ensuring safety could the fleet pass through the fleet. At this point, the supreme commander-in-chief of the fleet: Li Weiwu bears the responsibility for major mistakes.

Details: It has been described above, so I won't write much here........

Final Summary: This attack was a premeditated, planned ambush attack by the Europa Imperial fleet against the Dawen Imperial fleet.

The upper echelons of the Dawen Empire were silent, with anger and a deep sadness. It was angry that the Europa Empire was so despicable, shameless, and indecent, using extremely immoral means to sneak attack the fleet of the Dawen Empire, causing heavy losses to the Dawen Empire.

Three thousand four hundred and seventy-two excellent soldiers did not die on the battlefield, but under the intrigues of the enemy. was a heroic warrior, but such a humiliating death was a shame for the warrior itself and for the Dawen Empire!

What makes the top brass of the Dawen Empire sad is that the navy of the Dawen Empire has fallen to such a point, although it was a sneak attack, but in the whole battle, the navy of the Dawen Empire did not have an effective counterattack, and was completely pressed and beaten by the enemy, tortured and beaten, and the enemy was unscathed and retreated.

Should the top of the Dawen Empire here do a good job of self-reflection, learn a lesson from it, and prevent such incidents from happening again in the future?

On November 25, the diplomats of the Dawen Empire sent an official diplomatic note to the Europa Empire, demanding that the Europa Empire hand over the murderers behind the sneak attack, arrest all those involved in the incident, and hand over the Dawen Empire. Two. Ask the Europa Empire to give a reasonable explanation for this sneak attack and compensate for all losses. Three. Please apologize to the Empire of Europa in the international community.

However, it was useless, and the Europa Empire completely denied that it had created or participated in the sneak attack, claiming that the sneak attack had nothing to do with the Europa Empire, and instead accused the Dawen Empire of slander.

The two countries are quarreling in the international community, and they are talking about each other. You have your little brother to help you wave the flag and shout. I have my brother who helps me beat the drums. For a time, the entire international community was in a mess and quarreled over the sneak attack.

On November 27, the Dawen Empire again sent reinforcements to Lan Fangguo, but under international pressure, this time the Europa fleet did not appear, and the reinforcement mission was a complete success.

Just when the imperial high-level was relieved, another report of attack appeared on the desk of the imperial high-level, the empire's camp stationed in Lanfangguo, which was attacked by the naval artillery of the unknown fleet and suffered heavy losses.

The empire was surprisingly angry, but there was nothing it could do, the Europa Empire refused to admit it, and in order to prove its innocence, the Europa Empire even let the troops stationed on the border between the two countries retreat twenty kilometers back to the country.

And the Dawen Empire has no real evidence in its hands, so it cannot be proved that the high-level leaders of the Dawen Empire are in a hurry, and there are several more pulsatillas in the cabinet and the military department, can it not be in vain? Sad!

The reinforcements are still continuing, if you give up at this time, not only will the previous efforts be in vain, but also the Dawen Empire will be disgraced in the international community, and its reputation will be completely ruined.

Several follow-up reinforcements were attacked to varying degrees, and the Dawen Empire also understood that this was the enemy's strategy of encircling and sending reinforcements, but it was helpless, and could only change various tricks to reinforce Lan Fangguo.

According to the size of the fishing boats, the troops set off in groups of 30 to 50 people to the waters of Lanfangguo, and after landing at different landing points, they gathered at the predetermined assembly points. But the number of troops transported each time is too small, and only 500-1000 people can be transported at a time.

After the first success of this plan, it was attacked in the next few reinforcements, and the fleet of the Europa Empire did not care whether it was true or false, indiscriminately, as long as the fishing boats appeared in the waters of Lanfang Country, they all attacked, so that the sea area of Lanfang Kingdom became a completely closed fishing area. In the end, the plan was forced to abandon.

There is a night impact method, after the troop carrier arrives in the sea near Lanfangguo, it stops advancing, waits until the night falls, takes advantage of the night, evades the fleet of the Europa Empire, and implements the landing, but the night navigation is too dangerous, and its own losses are heavy, so the plan is abandoned again.

There is also a land transportation plan, the troops start by land, pass through the entire Indochina Peninsula, reach the Strait of Malacca, cross the Strait of Malacca, and land directly on the beach of Sumatra, Indonesia, bypassing the fleet of the Europa Empire, and then try to cross the Karimata Strait to Kalimantan and then enter the country of Lanfang.

This plan was not implemented, and after it was proposed, it was vetoed by the military department, the route was too far, there were too many uncertain factors, and it was abandoned.
