The kingdom's military gave Dane only two suggestions. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

One is to take advantage of the fact that the current army advantage is still there, and the combined fleet has just blocked the route, and the domestic material reserves are still abundant, seize the time, take the lead in launching an attack, strive to win the war in a short period of time, break the stubborn defense of the three alliance forces on the border, attack the hinterland of the Duchy of Florence, and force the Duke of Florence to sign a covenant under the city and end the war ahead of schedule.

The second option is to formally form Hindlaire's past policies, such as the garrison corps policy and the militia organization policy, to gather large armies and achieve absolute crushing superiority. According to the estimates of the military department, it only takes half a year for Sindelair to be able to launch an army of more than 100,000 people! Not to mention the quality, this number alone is enough for Sindlaire to directly push Florentina with his strong forces.

But Dane didn't choose either.

Although he did not say it explicitly, in the following period, there was no nationwide mobilization for war from the main fort of White Wolf Castle, and at the same time, the army of Pehinsy received orders from the king to maintain the current situation, and the strategic goal was still to prevent the enemy from passing through the wasteland pass and threatening the interior of Hindlaire. At the same time, it is strictly forbidden for the Pehinsy Group to take risks and eliminate all risks.

This order is obviously intended to make the Perkins Group act conservatively.

People don't know what their king is thinking. However, both the military and the government, many people feel that His Majesty's decision is inappropriate. Even, some people who are worried about the country and the people even try to enter the main castle of White Wolf Castle and meet the king, trying to persuade the king not to delay and come up with a decision as soon as possible.

But no one had ever managed to meet Dane at Castle Whitewolf, and in fact, he wasn't there.

……

On October 6, 221, something happened that no one had imagined.

Cowering in the Ghost Knife Harbor on Komyra Island, the Sindelair National Navy fleet, which has been almost half a month, has left the port!

This thing is a big surprise!

Comparing the difference in naval strength between the two sides, the Sindelair National Naval Fleet has a total of ten warships, although three of them are 10,000-ton ships bought from the Shire, but the other seven warships are a bit miserable. The seven self-produced ships came from the shipyards of Shawan Port and Ghost Knife Port, and the largest one was only over 2,000 tons. The firepower and armor are not too advanced, and they are just used as a frigate.

Looking at the three 10,000-ton warships bought from the Shire, it looks quite bluffing, but you must know that these three ships, at the beginning of construction, were not built according to the specifications of warships. In fact, these are just three giant ocean-going cargo ships, big enough and carrying a lot of cargo.

If it is said that it is to be converted into a warship, of course, after all, the volume is placed here, and the installation of artillery is also a sea behemoth. However, there is no way to bridge the huge structural gap between the giant freighter itself and the warship.

Battleships, which are called battleships, are called because they are weapons designed to fight on the oceans, and at the beginning of their construction, every detail of the design of the ships was prepared for war.

How to design the hull to be able to load more guns, so that the position of each gun can cover more angles and areas as much as possible, and maximize the advantage of firepower. or to design the hull to be more flexible and faster; Or build a stronger ship......

In short, war is the purpose of the existence of warships.

What about merchant ships? Reduce costs, expand internal warehouses, and expand transportation volumes...... None of these have anything to do with war.

So, don't look at the three 10,000-ton 'battleships' in the Sindellaire National Fleet, these pseudo-warships converted from freighters are simply vulnerable when they meet real opponents.

Not fast, inflexible, and weakly armored, it is almost the best live target at sea.

For comparison, the Combined Fleet has a total of thirty-two capital warships, ranging from frigates of one thousand to two thousand tons, to cruisers of three or four thousand tons, to battle cruisers of more than six thousand tons. Among them, there are five main warships with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons!

It seems that the three ships of the National Navy Fleet are not much worse than the Combined Fleet, but in fact, because of the reasons mentioned above, the capital ships of the National Fleet are not comparable to the Combined Fleet at all.

It is estimated that a dreadnought-class capital ship can bombard all three ships of the national navy fleet. Not to mention the dreadnought, even those battle cruisers with a displacement of six or seven thousand tons can easily beat the capital ships of the national fleet.

The gap is very obvious.

It is precisely because of this gap that when the Combined Fleet came to Schindlaire's territorial waters with great momentum and wantonly blocked the shipping routes and blocked the port, the National Navy fleet could only watch the enemy show off its might, but it had to stay in the port honestly and rely on the shore fire artillery to be at peace.

Pounce out and fight? I'm afraid that if the national fleet can't go ten nautical miles, it will be caught by the combined fleet, and then there will be a one-sided slaughter.

No one could have imagined that Schindlaire's fleet would dare to leave the harbor, and this is in the hands of the Combined Fleet!

What's more, the coalition spies who have already lurked in the Ghost Knife Harbor have received a surprising news!

The king of the kingdom of Sindlaire, His Majesty Dane, is on the flagship of the National Navy's fleet, the Yellow Dragon!

That's so exciting!

……

The Empress is a dreadnought-class warship with a displacement of 10,900 tons, the flagship of the Puldry Kingdom's navy, as well as the flagship of this combined fleet.

Admiral Prodmoor, is the flag of the navy of the Kingdom of Pudley. Back then, when he was fighting for the interests of the Golden Bay with the Invincible Armada of the Holy Prometic New Empire, he had made great contributions to the royal state. And in the battle against the famous pirate king Robin, this powerful pirate group across the Southern Cross Sea was wiped out.

He was a true soldier, and one could almost call him the best admiral in the world.

As a matter of course, he is the commander-in-chief of this combined fleet.

At first, when the news came that Sindlaire's national fleet had left the harbor and that King Dane was on board, Prodmore refused to believe it. This matter does not make sense at all, there is no reason why the navy of Sindelair would do such a thing of sending people to death, and the king will die with him.

No matter how you look at it, this matter is full of intrigues.
