Chapter 1913: All Quiet on the Western Front (III.)

Before Fanny led the "Wyvern Knights" to set off, she had made as thorough secrecy as possible: she specially chose to lead the team to fly away from Cold Creek Town in the middle of the night, and the Wyvern Knights under her command also took the "Invisibility Potion". However, the flying of the Thousand Riding Wyvern in a cluster was really powerful, but the air currents set off by the Wyvern's wings converged into a violent wind, and such an obvious abnormal situation immediately aroused the vigilance of the Imperial Sentinels who were secretly peeping, and they all approached to investigate invisibly, and quickly reported the scene they witnessed to the headquarters.

On the night when the Flying Dragon Knights were transferred out of Cold Creek Town, General Engel received a message from the front-line sentry, unfolded the military map and compared the flight trajectory of the Flying Dragon Knights, and quickly guessed that the destination of this army was far away in the southwest sea.

General Engel immediately summoned the commander of the Imperial Air Force, General Alvons Beck, to discuss the benefits of the withdrawal of the Far Eastern Wyvern Knights, and how to make the most of it.

"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, this topic is complicated to elaborate on, so please allow me to start from the beginning."

In the conference room of the Olavi Fortress, Admiral Alphonse Beck faced the expectant eyes of General Engel and his generals, calmly and eloquently.

"First of all, we have to admit such a reality that has damaged the face of the Imperial Air Force: The rebel clique in the Far East attaches great importance to air power, and it has only been five years since the seizure of the Far East, but it has achieved greater results in air force building than our army has achieved in more than 10 years, and this is really a shame to me."

General Baker's implication was to complain about the lack of long-term vision of the imperial authorities, so that the imperial air force had received a pitiful amount of military spending over the years, and it was not even comparable to the air force hastily established by the rebels in the Far East.

"According to the information I have, the Far East Air Force has a total of five fleets of airships, a total of fifteen magic guide airships, including three 'Dawn'-class airships with a carrying capacity of 220 tons and twelve 'Shenghua-class' airships with a carrying capacity of 500 tons, and there are no less than 3,000 carrier-based air forces, mainly giant eagles and pegasus, as well as a small number of vultures and griffin cavalry; The Knights of the Wyvern', this force has about a thousand highly trained bipedal wyverns, and the riders of the wyverns are all elite knights from the dragon vein clan of the Dragon Sleep Valley. ”

"Now let's talk about our air force. First of all, it should be affirmed that the performance of China's military airships is not inferior to that of the Far Easterners, and in some respects it is even better, thanks to the outstanding work of all the colleagues in the Weinstein Military Factory, but please allow me to complain a little, the price set by the Weinstein family for the military magic airship is too high, take the "Brilliant" class airship with the same carrying capacity as the Far East's "Sanctified" class airship, the Air Force's purchase price is as high as 6 million gold duga, which is equivalent to twice the purchase price of the Far East's "Sanctified"-class airship! I'm not saying that military factories can't make money, but is it really appropriate to make huge profits in a business that is related to national defense and security? ”

"General Baker, we are soldiers, and we cannot demand the same strong patriotism and dedication from businessmen by the standards of soldiers, and criticism of the Weinstein Arsenal will not bring us victory, please get to the point."

General Karl, the commander of the garrison of the Ollevy Fortress, nicknamed "Stubborn Old Man", interrupted General Baker's complaint with a slightly impatient look.

A hint of anger flashed in General Baker's eyes. However, he was relieved to see that the person who interrupted his conversation was General Karl. This kind of old guy who is destined to be hopeless for promotion has no scruples and concerns, he is not afraid of heaven and earth, and anyone dares to scold him when he starts a fire, but he still has a good future, and he is not worthy of seeing this stubborn old man who is famous for his stinky and hard temper.

"Okay General Karl, please forgive me for digressing, then again, the Imperial Air Force currently has a total of three airship fleets, of which the four airships under the jurisdiction of the Third Fleet are all 'Hercules' class transport airships with a load capacity of up to 1,000 tons, which do not have combat capability and can be ignored; the First and Second Fleets are the main force of our Air Force, each with five 'Brilliant' class military magic guide airships, each airship is equipped with a vulture horse cavalry battalion, and the total number of aviation troops is barely enough for three thousand."

"When I talk about this, everyone must have seen that the hard power of the Imperial Air Force is not comparable to that of the Far East Air Force, if you use points to calculate combat power, if the Far East Air Force can score 100 points, the Imperial Air Force will have a maximum of 70 points."

"It is precisely because of the obvious gap in the strength of the air forces of the two sides that since the launch of the Eastern Crusade, our air force units have always adopted a relatively conservative operational principle, and rarely leaped over the Zhuolang River to take the initiative to attack the Far Eastern positions on the opposite bank.

"It turns out that our more than three months of forbearance have not been in vain. In order to support the troops fighting in the Twilight Valley in the south, the Far East Air Force had to divide part of its forces and transfer the three fleets to the southern front, so that the Far East Air Force left on the Western Front only had six magic airships, and the strength on paper seemed to be overwhelmed by our air force fleet, but in fact, it was not necessarily, don't forget, there is still a 'Flying Dragon Knights' stationed in Cold Creek Town, and the strength of the Far East and West Air Force is still on par with our army, and the time is not yet ripe, and we still need to continue to be patient. ”

"Just half an hour ago, the forward sentry sent back an urgent piece of information, the Wyvern Knights stationed in Cold Creek Town set sail overnight, most likely to fly to the Golden Horn to join the Far Eastern Navy that was heading south to rescue Parnia, which is bad news for our naval brothers, but it is uncompromising good news for His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, myself, and all the gentlemen here."

General Baker's cynical demeanor and words sparked a burst of laughter, and the solemn atmosphere in the conference room turned light.

When the laughter had subsided, General Baker changed his impassioned tone, waved his fists and solemnly declared, "Gentlemen! All the officers and men of the Imperial Air Force endured a whole winter, during which time they were criticized by the government and the opposition, and now that our patience has finally come to an end, I can say responsibly that the Imperial Air Force has an overwhelming advantage over the air forces on the far east and west fronts! ”
