Diplomatic rhetoric must be rigorous and subtle, and it will inevitably give the impression of rambling nonsense, but when you carefully consider each word, there is a deep meaning. Translating the above-mentioned diplomatic rhetoric of Lord Parini into the vernacular, the main idea is actually very simple: first, Hailan supports the Far East morally, but does not dare to say it explicitly for fear of offending the Empire; Second, Sea Blue will provide detailed information on the movements of the Imperial fleet in the Far East, but only for ventilation and will not directly intervene in disputes between the two sides.

"Mr. Parini, first of all, we would like to thank the Hailan authorities for their help, but I still have a question, the combat operations of the Imperial fleet must be strictly secret, how can Hailan obtain the above information, and how can it ensure its accuracy?" Prince Carroll's face was solemn. If the information is wrong, the battle plan formulated on the basis of this information will inevitably be misled, and it is very likely that the entire battle will be lost, and he has to be cautious.

A smile appeared on Lord Parini's chubby face: "Your Highness Carol, of course the commander of the Imperial Navy will not reveal his battle plan to us, but naval operations always require the dispatch of warships, as long as we keep an eye on the tail of the Imperial flagship, we can know the course of the Imperial fleet at any time, and then judge the target of its intended attack." ”

"Sounds reasonable, but how could the Imperial flagships allow the ships of the Sea Blue to keep an eye on them? Not to mention the huge ships, I'm afraid that even the sea blue vulture sentries can't approach the Imperial fleet from the air, plus the main battleships of the Empire are protected by the 'Demon Duncan Forbidden Zone', prohibiting all magic detection and teleportation from the outside world, how can you capture each other's movements at any time? Lady Theodora frowned and questioned.

The smile on Parini's face was a little more cunning.

"Dear Madam, it is true that we cannot track the Imperial fleet from the surface of the sea or from the sky, but we can accomplish this mission from the bottom of the sea a thousand feet, and believe me, it is not difficult to do."

Roland had an idea: "You mean the magic submarine?" ”

Parini nodded, a look of pride in his eyes.

"The Little Dolphin is a legacy of the ancient maritime era, protected by some kind of magical enchantment that we still can't crack, and is able to fool almost all means of detection and detection in the world today, even if it is close to the bottom of the Imperial flagship."

Lord Parini took a sip from his teacup, and continued: "Taking a step back, even if the 'Little Dolphin' is unlucky and is discovered by the Imperial Navy, it cannot be taken out of anger on our government, after all, this magic submarine is not a sea blue warship, but a research ship of a private salvage company, and we can fully claim that the 'Little Dolphin' happened to be investigating the shipwreck in the waters where the Imperial fleet passed, and it has nothing to do with the war between the Empire and the Far East. ”

"It sounds reasonable." Roland couldn't help laughing, and a stone fell to the ground in his heart. With the assistance of the "Little Dolphin", the Far East Navy will anticipate the enemy's opportunities in the course of the war and know in advance the exact position of each of the main warships of the Imperial Navy, which will greatly make up for its own disadvantage in the tonnage of warships.

Lord Parini and the Hailan government he represented were true to their word, and the day after this secret visit, the "Little Dolphin" sent an encrypted message through the military magic radio station. Roland and Prince Carol had obtained the code comparison table from Lord Parini in advance, and after deciphering it, they learned that the Imperial Navy fleet had set sail from Coral Harbor half an hour earlier. Extrapolating from the trajectory of the fleet, it is likely that it will come straight to the port of Parnia.

The Imperial Navy fleet is menacing, and the Parnia fleet has a huge disparity in strength compared to it, and if it goes head-to-head, I am afraid that it will not last for two hours and will be completely annihilated.

Coincidentally, the North Sea Fleet of the Kolas Kingdom, which was originally stationed in the Golden Horn, returned to the Kolas Island Military Port in late March and was equipped with a new type of naval warfare weapon. This weapon is a joint project developed by the Far Eastern Military Technology Research Institute and the Baiou Port Mecha Research Institute, which began in 1624 and made a major breakthrough in less than a year. Roland immediately instructed the North Sea Fleet and the White Gull Fleet to urgently equip this secret weapon, and predicted that it would completely change the pattern of naval warfare in the world of Vares. But he didn't expect that less than a month after he made his prediction, Parnia would face the threat of the Imperial Fleet, and the North Sea Fleet and the White Gull Fleet had not yet had time to complete the rearmament.

According to the secret report sent by the "Little Dolphin", the Imperial Navy fleet will approach the port of Parnia within two days and launch the first phase of the so-called "Great Tsunami" operation, with the intention of threatening the Parnia people to raise the white flag with the cannons of giant ships.

In the war-clouded Parnia Peninsula, everyone from the royal family to the common people were unwilling to surrender to the Assanian Empire, and all levels of society shouted angry cries to resolutely resist the invaders. Whether it is for the sake of the royal family's own interests or in consideration of the voice of the people, Prince Carroll can only choose to fight to the end. However, he was not carried away by the indignation of the government and the opposition, and calmly realized that the few warships of the Parnia Navy could not stop the huge imperial fleet at all. Rather than burying the precious warship under the guns of the Empire, it is better to hide and avoid the enemy's edge for the time being, and wait until the Far East Fleet arrives from the North Bay to support, and then send a fleet to unite with friendly forces to fight the Imperial Fleet.

Under the guidance of the above ideas, the Parnia fleet resolutely withdrew to the military port and laid a large number of mines overnight in the sea area outside the port and through which the Imperial fleet must pass. At the same time, Prince Carroll personally took over the coastal defense positions of the port, urging the coastal fortress groups to stock up on sufficient ammunition and prepare for the attack on the Imperial fleet.

Nearly 100 fortified fort batteries were scattered on the shore defense positions of the port of Parnia, and the muzzles of the guns pointed to the waters of the Golden Horn, forming a tight defensive line. Successive lords of the Vlad family have invested countless sums of money in the construction of shore defense batteries, and Prince Carroll has reason to believe that with his fierce coastal defense artillery array, he can keep the Imperial fleet out of the harbor and support it until the moment reinforcements arrive.

On the night of April 25, the day he received the news of the Imperial Fleet's departure, Roland said goodbye to the Vlad family and hurried to the North Bay to personally go to the Naval Base on Koras Island, urging the North Sea Fleet and the White Gull Fleet to complete the weapon refitting as soon as possible, and strive to go south as soon as possible to help the Parnia Peninsula get rid of the threat from the Imperial Fleet.
