Chapter 40: Dusk
"Eben Emir has broken through, and judging by the news from Joan of Arc, Liège's forces can only hold on, if the deep sea is attacked regardless of casualties......" Richelieu, who had arrived in Lille, was telling Dunkirk in Paris about the current state of the battle.
"In any case, Sedan's troops can't move." Dunkirk knew what Richelieu meant, but her instincts told her that Sedan's troops could not move.
"But with our current reinforcements, even with the reinforcements of Ingillia, Liège is in danger, and this time the deep sea is not a small amount. Besides, I remember that the Ardennes Sea in front of me was full of reefs, which should not be suitable for deep-sea marching. ”
"I know, I know that."
"If the deep sea wants to invade from that side, you can only go through Maginot No, and you know the hard work we put into it."
"I know, I know, Richelieu." Dunkirk became irritable, she had been ravaged by this emotion for the past few days, and there was always a lingering shadow hanging over her. "I know what you're thinking, but can you trust me once, Richelieu! Trust me one more time. ”
Since the alliance meeting, Dunkirk has also seen Richelieu's idea of wanting to be independent, and she is not disgusted, but a little pleased, as a ship with older equipment, although the strength is still in the front of Els, but the professor is more advanced than her, Richelieu, she is also a little powerless.
After figuring these things out, she also slowly let go of the power in her hands. Had it not been for the deep-sea invasion, the peaceful transition of the leadership in Farlancy would have been completed soon.
Now, however, is not the time. She clearly knew that Richelieu had not experienced any kind of war, and her existence was more like a deterrent, and since the emergence of a powerful deep sea like Bismarck in Germany, Richelieu's role was even greater. But Richelieu was a complete novice in terms of operations, and she had only been a pre-flagship of Francis before, traveling around the world for exercises and exchanges. And the rare battle for the deep sea is more like paving the way for her to come to power. Richelieu's performance in these battles was impressive, but that doesn't mean she will be good on a large scale.
Dunkirk still did not have the confidence to entrust all his forces to Richelieu. And sending half of Farrancy's troops to Sedang, she also has her own considerations, in addition to her hunch, Sedang is also a good and good garrison point. The ship girls she stayed in Sedang are all the new generation of ship girls in the high-speed class, and their support speed is definitely guaranteed. And in the deep sea, the selected point of attack is completely sorted, Dunkirk has not yet been able to judge.
Even if the deep sea has been stationed in Liege, before the emergence of Bismarck in the deep sea, Dunkirk cannot jump to conclusions. Leaving a troop in Sedan was an insurance policy she gave to Farlancy.
"Okay." Richelieu's tone softened, and she also felt that she was too anxious just now, after all, Dunkirk was more experienced than herself in this aspect.
While Richelieu was communicating with Dunkirk, Sukhbaatar had already taken the right path under the guidance of Alpha and went straight to the place where Bayane was stationed.
Although some of the deep sea has been lured away by the intrusion of fantasy, the rest of the deep sea is still very large, and they carefully protect their bait, wary of the wind and grass around them. As long as any creature that does not belong to the deep sea appears in this area, it will be torn apart by them without hesitation.
It stands to reason that they should have trespassed cautiously and snuck to the Varyag. But how could Sukhbaatar be willing to hide her head and show her tail, she was known as the world's number one Star Destroyer, and this kind of weak person's behavior was unacceptable.
Although her mouth was tough, she still took out the cardboard box she had always treasured, which was the only artifact to sneak into. But before she could show off her artifact, Prestige, who was not very happy, had already carried out what she had said in the last sentence without hesitation.
With the launch of the prestige cannon, the deep sea wandering in front of them was instantly sunk. However, the loud sound of artillery fire also attracted the surrounding deep sea, but without exception it was slaughtered by prestige.
At dusk, they came to the vicinity of the garrison of the forces of the Eben emir. Behind them, a large group of deep seas followed, all of them surviving the fire of prestige, and they were more brutal than ever.
How can the dashing maid take these miscellaneous fish in his eyes. Although the frequent battles have made her a little tired, but as an elite ship girl, she can still easily crush these deep seas.
However, the consequences of overindulgence soon became apparent, and the ammunition brought out of prestige from Liège was exhausted. But at this time, they also arrived at their destination this time.
The deep sea stopped at the command of the flagship. Before the big fish could be baited, they would besiege the exhausted shipwrecks until the defenders of Liège came to their rescue.
Compared to the Emir of Eben, the fortress of Liège was much stronger. This is the true gateway to France, the last fortress before entering France. In this fortress, the always romantic Franklin Shipwresses instilled their cruelst side in them. This majestic fortress is by no means something that can be destroyed by artillery fire alone. Thanks to the efforts of Langley, Béarn, and Varyag, the vast majority of the deep-sea carrier-based aircraft had already been sacrificed by the Eben-emir, and the deep-sea Hood was unwilling to give up air supremacy and sent the only carrier-based aircraft to bomb. Moreover, these carrier-based aircraft can't do much.
Then compared to destroying the fortress, destroying the main force of the ship mother has always been simpler. And now, the only question is how to pull this main force out of this turtle shell. Well, the rout of Eben Emir is the best bait.
And the immature scheme of the deep sea, in the eyes of the old and calculating war-weary, is completely a pediatric behavior. In her opinion, the deep sea should not even have this kind of strategy, and the tactics of the sea of people are their biggest reliance.
It seems that this deep-sea flagship, even if it is not Hood, is inseparable from the ship's mother. Of course, this does not rule out the possibility of autonomous evolution in the deep sea. In any case, this resourceful deep sea, war-weariness will never allow her to appear in Germany's deep-sea clusters, which is too dangerous for Ingilia.
Whether she is Hood or not, her end is already sealed by the time she shows the wit that the deep sea should not have.
Standing on the fortress of Liège with black tea in hand, the smoke caused by the prestige in the distance has not yet dissipated, and is rising in the last afterglow of the setting sun. War weariness temporarily put aside worries about prestige and Sukhbaatar. At this time, she is the flagship of Ingillia, and only the highest interests of the country will move her.
"Flancy's flagship has arrived." Nelson's voice rang in her ears.
"Tonight, it seems, will be a, sleepless night."
She slowly put down the enamelled teaspoon and handed it to Nelson to the side.
"Let's go meet her."
"Amerika's reinforcements are said to be on their way too?" On the way, she asked.
"Yes, it's Lexington and Saratoga this time, and it's said that their newborn Yorktown class is also here."
"After all, it's their teacher. Of course they have to be saved. War-weariness said with a smile, "But it's okay, this time also let my old fellow ......."
"Meet this rising star."
