The captain of the 'Papua', who was not far away, also ordered loudly: "Brothers, we can't let our comrades on the 'Kirinko' fight alone, I order the left rudder to be full, and we will rush over." Amid the cries of the sailors, they also chose to stay.

The Imperial Navy of St. Martin showed great courage in this battle, and the sail ships chose to stay behind as the main fleet, and they severely delayed the pursuit of the Boston people.

Seeing his subordinates die generously, Marshal Dinant wept for himself, he hated himself for not being able to lead them to victory, and he also ruthlessly wanted the emperor to only know his own pleasures but did not want to make progress, if he had a powerful ironclad fleet earlier, this tragic situation would not have occurred.

The losses of the sail ships were heavy, and they did not achieve decent results due to the preparation of the later Boston ironclads, but they managed to hold off the fleet of the Bostonians and create conditions for the retreat of the main fleet.

In the end, five of the seven ironclad ships of the Empire of San Martin escaped, seven of the cruisers escaped, and in order to cover the retreat of the main force, only two of the forty-one sail warships were at the back with scars and returned to the Rio military port of the Empire of San Martin with difficulty.

Although he suffered a lot of losses in the face of a huge advantage, Major General Dewey was very clever, and he skillfully changed the concept and emphasized in the combat report that the opponent's military strength was strong and numerous.

Subsequently, Dewey avoided the important and trivialized the statistics of the results, and did not write the specific model of the enemy warships sunk, but only vaguely wrote the results of sinking 45 enemy warships, losing one ironclad ship and eight cruisers.

Under such a reduction in the Spring and Autumn brushwork, he made another dot up and down, and the Admiralty turned a blind eye, and as a result, Washington III, the Emperor of the Boston Empire, heard the news and immediately promoted him to lieutenant general.

Although Field Marshal Dinant was able to rescue most of the capital ships with his experience and excellent command, the conspiracy of the Boston Empire did not stop there.

Three days later, the government of the Federal Republic of Central and Southern Africa issued a message, claiming that the Imperial Army of San Martín invaded the neutral southern part of the Central and Southern Federation for no reason, killing more than 3,000 Costa Rican soldiers of the Central and Southern Federation, demanding that the San Martín Empire hand over the murderer, compensate for the damages, and explain the incident.

A few days later, the Boston Empire, which had succeeded in its conspiracy, issued a message expressing its support for the just demands of the Federal Republic of South Africa, demanding that the San Martín Empire make compensation, and arresting the commander of the Gothalian army who crossed the border to attack the Costa Rican army without authorization, and handed it over to the Federal Republic of South Africa for trial.

By this time, Augustus I, of course, knew that he had been tricked, but he was at a loss for words if he did not catch the Boston soldiers who attacked the patrol.

The short-tempered Augustus I immediately decided to make a mistake and bite the Central and Southern Federation to send troops across the border to attack his own patrols, and at the same time ordered the army to enter the Central and Southern Federation to fight and punish war criminals.

The actions of Augustus I made the Boston Empire fall into the hands of the Boston Empire, and the Boston Empire, which succeeded in the conspiracy, immediately announced to the outside world that it was willing to protect the invaded Central and South China Empire.

The panicked government of the Federal Republic of China and South Africa after the invasion was naturally happy to see that some countries were willing to protect themselves, and immediately agreed to form an alliance with the Boston Empire.

"Augustus, this idiot, can't even see such a simple scheme." Fang Xiaoyu was so angry that he punched the table.

At this moment, Fang Xiaoyu is in the joint operations room of the Navy and Army, and there are also Feng Shichang, deputy chief of general staff of the army, Liu Junguo, commander of the navy, and Zhang Haiyang, chief of staff of the navy.

Feng Shichang said: "Young master, you can't blame them, I believe that there are many backers for such a serial plan, even if they dodge it this time, it can't be done, but fortunately, Augustus I took the opportunity to make a decision and ordered the army to enter the Central South Alliance first, it is estimated that they can occupy some strategic places, even if the Boston Empire is well prepared, it is not easy to defeat them." ”

Zhang Haiyang touched his chin and said: "But the navy is not optimistic, although most of the capital ships of the St. Martin Empire have been preserved, but Augustus I has ordered them not to go out of the port to fight, which will give up the control of the sea to the enemy." Let's not talk about the fact that the naval strength of the St. Martin Empire is too weak, they dare not fight, what if the Boston Empire is allowed to land in the St. Martin Empire with an army? ”

Feng Shichang exclaimed: "Then they are finished, the most elite main force of the Saint Martin Empire Army has entered the Central and South Africa Alliance to fight, if the Boston Empire chooses to land on the Saint Martin Empire, it will be a disaster." ”

Liu Junguo said: "I'm not worried about their landing in the Saint Martin Empire, after all, the coastal batteries of the Saint Martin Empire are not vegetarian, and the Saint Martin Empire is on the coast in the direction of the Storm Ocean, except for those ports, there are few places where they can land." ”

Liu Junguo pointed to the most detailed place in the New World on the map and said: "I'm afraid that they will land here, this is the land of the Central South Africa Alliance, where the terrain is gentle, there are many beaches for landing, as long as the Boston army is stuck here, the St. Martin army that enters the Central South Africa will become a turtle in the urn that has lost supplies, and the only thing waiting for them is to be wiped out." ”

Fang Xiaoyu was very convinced of Liu Junguo's prediction, and he knew very well that in the Korean War on Earth, the war situation was reversed from the landing of the US troops at Incheon, and the Korean People's Army was also cut off from logistics to cause such a fiasco.

Thinking of this, Fang Xiaoyu slapped his left fist heavily on his right palm and said: "It can't go on like this, if the Saint Martin Empire is wiped out, I'm afraid the next target of the Boston Empire will be us, this kind of situation is absolutely not allowed, we must use the Saint Martin Empire to contain the Boston Empire." ”

Feng Shichang said: "But I can't participate in the war for no reason, is there any way to help the Saint Martin Empire survive this land crisis." ”

"There's a way." A voice came from the doorway, and everyone turned to see Tobul striding into the war room.

Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "The Chief of General Staff of the Army has finally returned. ”

Thoble said: "I have just arrived, I have handed over the defense of the Savage Continent to Fu Mingcheng, I believe that he has an iron-blooded army of three armies under his command, and he should be able to take on the defense task there." ”

Fang Xiaoyu nodded: "There is no enemy situation in the Savage Continent now, it should be very safe, the most important thing for us now is to keep the Saint Martin Empire and let them continue to contain the Boston Empire, what can you do, say it quickly." ”
