Chapter 441: No Retreat
The mighty Imperial Navy successfully entered Crocodile Bay, although it was a natural bay without artificial channeling, but the sea was still quite open. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Able to accommodate four warships traveling side by side, according to the calculations of the navigators, it will not take long for them to find the target of the enemy ship.
After all, there is no entry or exit in this bay, and from the moment they sailed into Crocodile Bay, Heather sentenced the Far East Fleet to death.
How idiotic would it be for them to choose such a place as a stronghold, where they really thought they could escape the Imperial Navy?
"Sir, look, aren't those warships in front of you flying the flag of our Imperial Navy? ”
The lieutenant shouted as he pointed to the ships blocking the way a short distance ahead, and with the help of the flashing lightning to make sure that it was indeed the Empire's battle flag.
"What's going on? Aren't they surrounded? Why did they stop there without the slightest movement?"
Heather held up the binoculars in suspicion, and soon he could see the man on deck, a man stripped naked to the mast.
"It's ...... Pato's guy? How could he be so embarrassed, and what about the others? He looked like he was saying something. ”
Heather was a little surprised when she realized the man's true face, but it quickly turned into anger, and Pato lost the face of the Navy like this!
"Sir, how should we respond to the First Fleet's signal to retreat from Crocodile Harbor immediately?"
At this moment, a soldier suddenly passed a signal from the First Fleet, asking for Heather's opinion.
"First Fleet? Magellan's guy? Why is he retreating? Is he disturbing the morale of the army?"
Heather looked in the direction of the First Fleet, which was commanded by Magellan, who had made a great contribution in the naval battle of Egret Harbor.
"It seems that Chief Magellan judged that the situation was different and that it would be dangerous to continue to stay, so he suggested retreating. ”
The soldier replied ambiguously, the waves are too loud at night, and there will inevitably be some errors in the transmission of news and intelligence from a distance, and it is impossible to summarize it accurately.
"He's not suggesting a retreat, but he's already starting to retreat, right? There are enough of the Empire's most elite naval forces to beat any opponent to the ground, and he just won an innocuous battle in Egret Harbor, so he thinks he can point fingers at me, the top boss?"
Heather was a little angry, and there was another reason why he had such an attitude, that is, he had been trying to encircle Magellan as a confidant.
After all, Magellan's First Fleet was very powerful in the Imperial Navy, and he himself was an excellent commander, a rare talent.
Compared to Pato, it is not a level at all, much stronger than Pato, but Magellan has rejected his envelope many times.
This makes it difficult for Heather not to suspect that Magellan has other backers behind him, maybe he leaned against the big tree in Camp and turned against him.
Based on this, Heather was very wary of Magellan, and how could he agree to Magellan's retreat at such a critical time?
"Sir, how are we going to respond to the retreat of the First Fleet? ”
The soldiers were a little embarrassed, after all, Heather was the commander of the East China Sea Fleet, and he still had jurisdiction over the First Fleet.
"Tell them that no one can withdraw from the battlefield until the Third Fleet is rescued and the Far East Fleet is completely annihilated, otherwise it will be regarded as an act of treason. ”
Heather's eyes were cold, and he gritted his teeth, since Magellan could not be used by him, he must find a reason to withdraw him when he returned this time.
"Alas, treason, but Lord Magellan is loyal to his country, this ...... Ah, my subordinates obey, and I will go over and convey your orders, sir!"
The soldier was stunned for a moment at first, but soon after seeing Heather's terrifying expression, he immediately retreated, where did he dare to say more than half a word?
On the other side of the fleet, the tall, middle-aged man who was standing in the bow of the ship and working overtime, worried, was soon given an order from Heather to respond.
"Heather, bastard, is this going to destroy the most elite forces of the entire empire along with his stupidity?
As the commander of the First Fleet, Magellan was so angry that he stomped his feet, he had already seen the clues in this crocodile harbor, and he was deeply disturbed.
"Sir, it's not that exaggerated, no matter how you look at it, we have an overwhelming advantage, why should a group of fishermen beat us?"
The adjutant asked in some surprise, he didn't have such a vision as Magellan, and he really couldn't figure out how Magellan would react.
"So you're all idiots, and are we really just a bunch of fishermen? I've just gotten a report detailing the work of the shipyards in the Far East, and at great cost some of the drawings. ”
Magellan took out a drawing from his jacket pocket and handed it to the adjutant beside him, paper has become popular in the past two years, but it is still very expensive.
"Drawings? This is a shipbuilding drawing? How do they look so complicated, what is inside the hull? I can't even understand it. ”
The adjutant scratched his head, as a naval officer, he often went in and out of the Imperial shipyards, and it was not the first time he had come into contact with such things as shipbuilding drawings.
But the drawing in his hand was like a book from heaven to him, and he couldn't understand it no matter how he looked at it, so he was at a loss.
"I don't know exactly what the delicate stuff inside the hull is, but I have every reason to believe that the level of shipbuilding in the Far East is far above that of our empire, and their ships are not only incredibly fast, but also heavy and very hard, and equipped with the latest magic cannons. ”
Magellan slammed his fist out, and the entire fleet was rapidly approaching the Third Fleet, and soon to complete the rendezvous.
"Is it possible to do such a thing in our empire with that little Far East?" the adjutant was a little stunned, his face full of disbelief.
"So don't underestimate our opponents, it's very deadly, but that bastard Heather just won't believe me, saying that I'm alarmist, and that he wants to sacrifice the lives of countless naval soldiers in order to fight for power?" Magellan was furious.
"What are we going to do, sir? Commander Heather ordered us to advance with all our might, and we were not allowed to retreat, treason is a very serious crime. ”
The adjutant still didn't quite believe Magellan's words, and he didn't dare to bear such a heinous charge.
"Slow down, distance yourself from them, and be able to respond if something happens, and hopefully my fears won't come true!"
Magellan sighed deeply.
