The Imperial Admiralty Camp was in a very conflicted mood at this time, and the report of the Battle of Crocodile Bay had reached the desk in his office. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The devastating defeat of Heather caused an uproar in Egret Harbor, and everyone did not believe that the mighty fleet had been wiped out.

That's more than half of the elite forces of the Empire's East China Sea Fleet, and it's only been two days?

But Kemp's first reaction to the news was ecstasy, and he rejoiced that his position in the navy had become increasingly precarious lately.

Although he is the Minister of the Navy and the highest person responsible for commanding the Imperial Navy, after all, he stays in the royal capital all the year round, and the real power of the navy is in the hands of several commanders.

Among them, the commander of the East China Sea Fleet, Heather, held the most power, and he was also the one who brought serious challenges to Kemp's position.

There is even a saying in the navy that the lower-level sailors only know Commander Heather, not Minister Kemp, how can Kemp stand it?

It is precisely for this reason that when he learned of Pato's defeat, he used this fire to scold Pato's top boss Heather for a bloody head.

He sensed a deep sense of crisis, and he had every reason to believe that it would not be long before the war was over.

Heather will certainly take his place as the new Lord of the Navy, and he will most likely be transferred to one of the Shimizu Yamen.

He was struggling to get out of this situation, and the news came that the two fleets under Commander Heather had been wiped out, so wouldn't there be no one to pose a threat?

His position as Lord of the Admiralty was still as secure as Mount Tai, but on the other hand, ecstasy was followed by deep apprehension.

Although the position was temporarily retained, all three fleets were wiped out, and that was the responsibility of Heather, but what to do next? There were less than a hundred warships left.

At this time, if the Far East Fleet directly attacked Egret Harbor, how would he respond? Damn, what the hell is going on with that fleet, it is so powerful?

"My lord, what should we do now, whether to retreat and defend in Egret Harbor, or take the initiative to find the whereabouts of the enemy ship, you have a decision. ”

The Governor's Mansion in Egret Harbor was converted into a temporary operations conference room for the Navy, where a group of naval officers had a heated discussion and apparently blew up.

"Attacking? We've already struck twice, and we don't even know where our opponents are. ”

Other officers objected, and they were largely divided into two factions, one seeking to take the initiative and the other advocating a defense in Egret Harbor.

"Do we have to be cowards because we failed? We are soldiers of the Empire! The military spirit of the Empire cannot fall here!"

The officers who advocated the attack were indignant, such a fiasco was a complete disgrace to the Empire, and they were not willing to accept such a defeat.

"But the First Fleet, the Second Fleet, and the Third Fleet have all been wiped out, and even that Magellan guy has become a traitor, how can we fight?"

"Yes, I thought Magellan was a man of iron, but I didn't expect to surrender our enemies so easily, and openly bombard the port. ”

"It's okay if he came to attack the port yesterday and made a big fuss, but today he came again, it's a pity that he didn't kill him, he's a damned traitor!"

When it came to Magellan's question, most of the officers were surprisingly unanimous, and that was a deep sense of abhorrence.

Only a small number of people still refuse to believe that Magellan would do such a thing, he is such a person with affection and righteousness!

But yesterday Magellan led the team to bombard Egret Harbor, which is an out-and-out fact, and they can only remain silent about this, not daring to speak out for Magellan.

"That's enough, who's the Lord of the Navy? Do you have me in your eyes besides that bastard Heather? Shut up!"

Kemp slammed the table in a fit of rage, he was especially angry that the gang was an old part of Heather's old department, and that he was having a hard time getting his hands on it.

"Of course it's you, Lord Kemp, but now that all sides are watching us, we have to take a stand, do we want to attack, or do we defend it?"

The officer once again threw the question to Campo, and now there was a lot of talk in Egret Harbor that the Imperial Navy had lost the battle.

Even the navy soldiers patrolled the streets, and the citizens looked at them strangely, after all, these soldiers were subjects of the Rose family.

They have been protected by the Rose family for generations, and they still have a weak concept of the Empire, and they are happy to see that the Empire is so ugly, and they have a longing for the enemy ships.

"This problem, if you want to attack, you have to lock the position of the other party, right? We are an invincible Imperial Navy, and the previous defeats were all caused by Heather's incompetence, this time with me in charge, I will definitely not make this mistake again, but before making a battle plan, ......"

Camp dragged his chin into deep thought, he was able to climb step by step to the position of Lord of the Admiralty, not by a mouth.

He was very cautious and careful, and although he did not have much credit, he rarely made mistakes, which is what he is known for.

"As for the enemy's position, there should be news soon, such a huge fleet is impossible to hide on the sea. ”

The officer looked out the window, and at this time there should be a soldier back to deliver the news, and several ships were sent out in the morning.

"My lord, there's news, there's news, we've found the location of the enemy ship!" At this time, a soldier broke in quickly.

He was holding a letter in his hand, panting for breath and running in a hurry, and he could see that this letter was very important.

"Where's it??And this is ......" Camp took the letter from the soldier's hand, the seal of the letter was fire-painted.

The mark on it was a black flame, which made Camp frown, passing through the terrible naval battle in Crocodile Bay before.

Now not only the upper nobles, but even ordinary soldiers know about the existence of the Black Fire Family, is this a letter sent by the Far Eastern Fleet?

But if this specification is used, it should be written by the head of the family, could it be that the notorious Duke of the Far East is in the fleet?

"This is a letter from an enemy ship, saying that it must be handed over to you, Lord Kamp, with my own hands, and I will send it back as soon as I receive it. ”

After the soldier delivered the letter, he retreated in an orderly manner, his expression was a little puzzled, he had seen the position of the Far Eastern Fleet with his own eyes.

I really don't understand why they put on such a battle, but he is just an ordinary sailor in charge of transmitting messages, and as for decision-making, it is the commander's business.

"This family crest, is it really the Black Fire Family in the Far East? And if there is a ring seal, it is Lord Lin Ye, the Duke of the Far East, who personally sits in the enemy ship?"

An officer noticed this detail and looked a little moved, that little duke not only had a set in land battles, but he didn't expect to be able to fight naval battles?

This is simply an all-rounder, and the middle family in the Far East has produced such an amazing figure?

It is simply comparable to the Duke of the Far East Lin Nandu of the previous generation, and this kind of genius has appeared in two generations in a row, and this family is inevitably too terrifying!

"What Lord Lin Ye, that's the Empire's wanted felon, don't call him that, Lord Kemp, what did that wanted man say in the letter?"

Another officer refuted, after all, the Imperial side did not give Lin Ye a proper name, and he was still a felony suspected of murdering the former emperor in the Empire.

"That boy, he asked us to fight, saying that he was waiting for us in the open sea twenty nautical miles away, and we will start a decisive battle!"

After reading the letter, Camp crumpled the envelope and tore it to shreds!
