1906 Fragrance Breeze (VI)
Let Lidastov deal with the assigned matter, the fat man asked people to bring the chart of the inland sea area, his finger lightly swiped on the map, his eyes followed the Gibro Sea Road all the way to the location of Rumba Island, the Alien Navy and the Empire chose to leave early, this information made the fat man frown slightly,
"Teacher, I heard that the fleet has occupied Rumba Island as scheduled! Maybe this is a sign that the Aliens have chosen to give up," the office door was pushed open from the outside, and Besukaya, who was wearing a straight adjutant uniform, walked in from outside the door with a thick stack of Wen Jiàn in his hand, and asked excitedly, "Give up?"
The corners of the fat man's mouth twitched slightly, and he shook his head and said, It is impossible, in order to calculate the southern part of the country, we spent a full winter, gathered 80% of the Empire's naval forces, and transferred a large number of elite army forces to fill the navy, so that it has a considerable ability to fight on land, but even so, before setting off, Dustrenkai did not dare to assure me that he would be able to defeat the Strands, the overlord of the inland sea, because Dustrunkai believed that the Saliens had no shorter preparation time for this war than us, and we used the alliance period to try to understand the inland sea, and the Strangers used the alliance period to try to understand us!“
The fat man's voice stopped, raised his head to look at Besukaya, and said slowly, "Since the two countries signed the trade alliance, the two sides have been arranged, the Aliens are not fools, and we also agree that the two countries that dominate the inland sea and the outer sea will one day become opponents fighting each other."
Moreover, the Strand Navy encountered this time is a completely different kind of opponent from the Gallic Navy and the Gangfei Navy that was encountered earlier.
"It's not all navy, is there any difference?" Besukaya put Wen Jiàn neatly on the table, Wen Jiàn was divided into two parts, one was the military affairs that needed to be dealt with immediately, and the other part was the daily government affairs, "You don't understand." The navy of the Inland Sea Overlord Aliens is not like the navy of the previous two empires, and we don't have much advantage over them!"
The fat man casually flipped through a copy of the text, swept his eyes over it, and explained in his mouth, "The Gallic Navy and the Gangfei Navy are both navies with their own coastlines, and if they lose their coastlines, they will fail, so they want to protect their coastlines." And they have to take it step by step, and in the face of such a confrontation, strategically, the Imperial Navy can use the strength of its ships and guns to force it to fight a decisive battle at sea, and finally give heavy damage to break it, but this set has no effect on the Strants at all,"
"Why?"
Besukaya's eyes blinked, knowing that the Imperial Navy had defeated the Gangfei Navy in a sweeping manner. But it is the first time to hear the mastermind of the entire strategy comment on the fatal point of the other party,
"Many people think that the Imperial Navy was able to expand from one regional sea area to the sea area of two continents in just a few years because the Imperial Navy ships are strong and powerful," said the fat man, "but how many people will know." In last year's war with the Gangfei Navy alone, the Imperial Navy lost eleven Dragon's Tooth warships, two Dragon-class, and more than 3,000 elite sailors. For the Empire, the war was not as rosy as it was rumored to be, and the Strantis were fixed in the depths of the Inland Sea region. The extended territory is the entire vast ocean, if the Imperial Fleet launches an expedition, it will only be like a giant who punches the air violently, useless and wastes strength, but chooses the sea area to fight, the Aliens occupy the inland sea, are familiar with the terrain, and do not need to be limited to the gains and losses of one island and one place, compared with us who know that the target is Gangfei in the south of Gangfei, the Alien Navy has no burden, they don't need to think about defense, all they need to do is to hide, quietly approach, like a hunter hiding in the shadows and pulling the bowstring, quietly waiting for the prey to step into the trap, with the secret of the weak and strong, let go, an arrow piercing the deadly part of the prey,
The fat man's voice paused, picked up the pen, signed his name on the text, and said, " Such an opponent is the most terrifying, the vast and boundless ocean, more than the land has a natural advantage of strategic maneuver, the Aliens know that the Imperial Navy Thor is a super weapon in naval warfare, head-to-head, we are not afraid of any enemy, the Alien Navy can not take the slightest advantage, but the other party hides the fleet, like a drop of water into the river, can not find a trace, that is the most terrible, you need to know that the most terrible knife is not the sharpness when it falls, but the cold light that is reflected in the eyes of the opponent before it falls, this both sides are preparing for a naval battle, from the beginning is not good for the Empire, the ultimate goal of the Imperial Navy is the southern port of Gangfei, the Alien Navy only needs to deal a heavy blow to the Imperial Navy in a dilemma at its critical moment, which is enough to frustrate the Imperial Navy's strategic plan for the southern part of the Congo."
"Why does the teacher think like this, maybe the Alien fleet just stopped somewhere to rest!" Besukaya expressed his doubts, after all, the Alien Sea Kingdom and the Empire have been allied for a few months, and the relationship between the two sides should not be so bad that they meet each other, "No, because of Rumba Island, it is the cold light of warning that flashed in my eyes" The fat man said in a dull voice to his disciple angrily From the map, Rumba Island is located in front of the Gibro Sea Road, and it is a vital support point for entering the inland sea area from the open sea, and whoever controls the Rumba Island is equivalent to mastering the right of way of the Gibro Sea Road
However, this time the Imperial Navy's seizure of Rumba Island was unusually smooth, and the number of losses was less than 10 people, 8 of whom were drowned because they fell into the water on the way, which just proved the worst guess in my heart, the Aliens had already laid a trap, and I believe that between Rumba Island and the southern coast of Gangfei, the Aliens would put a trap that would be enough to make the Imperial fleet completely relax their vigilance!"
"What could be the trap that would make the Imperial fleet let its guard down?" asked Besukaya, holding her hands on her chest with a worried expression
"I don't know, I can't guess a little!"
The corner of the fat man's mouth smiled slightly, "The Aliens themselves may not have imagined that some things are too much, but they are too sharp, and the other party wants to let a group of people who don't know the way fall into a trap that happens to be set! At the very least, it is necessary to provide a guide that provides wrong information, and this guide should at least show that he is a qualified guide! And the Imperial Navy happened to catch such a guide! So sometimes even if you set a trap, don't play your opponent idiot! I believe that Dustrunkai will know how to do it!" The fleet will rest on Rumba until even the other side gets impatient! Let's take a look at what the other party's trap is!" There was a knock at the door, and a guard walked in, stood up straight and saluted, "Your Majesty, the carriage is ready!" "The carriage, is the teacher going out?" Besukaya was slightly surprised, as the teacher's personal adjutant, she didn't even know that the teacher still had such an arrangement, "Well, it was decided temporarily!"
The fat man's face was a little embarrassed, and he closed the text in his hand apologetically, and Varisian recommended a special person to me, who is said to be talented. Especially among the young people of Putao, he is very prestigious, and the biggest advantage is that this person used to serve as a military staff officer in the southern army of Gangfei, and once personally participated in the military arrangement of the southern region of Gangfei, because of the victory of the war between Putao and the Gangfei Empire, he chose to return to China to serve, and is currently a member of the Duke of Putao's self-defense army, but you only know that the Duke of Putao is a man of great ambition and talent, and he does not attach much importance to this returnee. However, Varisian admired this man very much, and thought that if he could be recruited, the Empire's war against Gangfei South would be equivalent to winning half of it in advance, and I wanted to check it out. If it's really a talented person, I don't mind being absorbed into the Empire's war against Gangfei in the south!, and the troops recruited from the Putao region really need a person who is capable enough to command."
The fat man made a gesture to Besu Kaya, indicating that you should take a look at the other government affairs first. If there is no problem, sign it first, and if there is a problem, come back and look at it
Bluestone, brick walls, small streets. On either side are the 12th-century houses of the Putao coastal area, which are made of blue brick and look a little dark. At first glance, it gives people an antique atmosphere. The fat man's carriage drove into such old streets and alleys, and in Lisbonto, where most of them were newly built, it was a little strange that the fat man could see such a place. The street is not long, but it is not short, and there are many intersections with other roads, which makes the intersection reveal two very different styles. On one side, the buildings on both sides are lined up one after another, giving the impression of being trendy and stylish, while on the other side, time seems to stand still, as if it were still in the 12th century. Because it is too remote, there are no pedestrians on the old street. The garbage was swept to both sides of the street and piled up, and it was not cleaned up for a while.
"It's the front, Your Majesty!"
Varisien was very excited, under the key promotion of the Burrows family, his status in the glory of Putao was rapidly raised, and he has become the head of the glory of Putao, who is specifically responsible for military command, and his position in the glory of Putao is second only to a person in power of the Burrows family standing behind him, and it is ironic to say that no one would have thought that the head of the newly rising military command would be the official legion leader of the Falcon Empire, and the head of the former military command is the unlucky egg of the Papley family who is now being stuffed by the fat man。
With such an identity, Varisian discovered the "glory of the Putao" he had been exposed to Inside, not all are idiots and hot-blooded young people, there are really a few young people with extraordinary knowledge, and these young people don't have much enthusiasm for Putao, the reason why they joined the glory of Putao, partly because of the family's reasons, with the family pulled in together, and partly because of the talent can not be displayed, coupled with the vigorous development of commerce and trade in the Putao area, for the original intellectuals and military class, thrown out several streets at once, so that this kind of people feel abandoned by the times and society, so for various reasons, joined the glory of Putao,
Varisian seized on this and pulled these people to form a gathering of military enthusiasts, who, as the head of military operations, had the power to independently form special forces,
The carriage stopped in front of an old wooden door, and Varisien respectfully pulled the door, and the fat man stepped down from it, straightened his trench coat, put his collar up, and swept his gaze over the numbers on both sides of the street. The narrow door, about a meter wide, is just big enough for one person to get in and out. On the left side of the door hangs a blue sign that reads "25 Atta Street". Not far from the street, a group of Imperial Guards, dressed in civilian clothes, blocked the road, and within ten seconds, the Imperial Guards would crash through the door and rush in
The meeting took place in a small, old three-story house, with the same unusually old bronze shaft as this one, covered in green patina. The surface of the door is also mottled. There is a bronze handle on the door, and the bottom of the handle is also full of embroidered handles, but the grip is as bright as new. The fat man realized that it could be a library, and he glanced inquiringly at the embarrassed Varisian next to him
"It's a gift from my family, because they think I'm a lover of reading!" Varisian sneered
"You??" The fat man rolled his eyes, these ordinary radicals, who deserved to be sold out by the Burrows, didn't know that they would think that a guy like Varisian liked to read?
Although many of them are indeed very insightful, few of them have actually been on the battlefield. So the tone was more of a conjecture and a bit of sentiment," explained Varisian, who did not know his true identity, so he could only explain that His Majesty, who had suddenly joined the rally, as an enthusiastic and upright military enthusiast.
"No problem, I know what to do!" the fat man nodded, isn't he just pretending to be stupid, this is his old job
Varisien respectfully pushed the door open. The fat man followed, making a soft "jingle" sound. The door was connected to a string of bells.
"Your Excellency!"
There were quite a few people in the room, so as soon as the bell rang, everyone turned their heads and looked towards the door. They are all young people in very good spirits, full of vitality. In these, the fat man unexpectedly saw a familiar and dazzling figure, which turned out to be the girl of the Papley family.
Equally. All saw Varisian,
For this cheerful and generous boss. Everyone stood up, looking very respectful, Varisian, who was dressed in a straight black dress, had a sword-unsheathed aura, and walked over to bring people a sense of oppression that was not angry and mighty, Varisian was also a famous general of the empire who had been in battle for a long time, and the scars of the swords and arrows all over his body added up to seventeen or eighteen, crisscrossing and crisscrossing, and the impact on ordinary people can be imagined, and he deliberately showed it once when he was soaking in the hot springs, and he surrendered to the hearts of these young people who had not been on the real battlefield, of course, some people questioned the identity of Varisian, but there was the support of the Burrows family, who were in charge, coupled with the secret knowledge that this Varisian will be the administrator of the Putau region of the empire, and the Burrows family is even more reluctant to curry favor, and no one can shake Varisian's position in the Light of Putau
"This Viscount Dutan, who is also a military enthusiast, has just joined the organization, and most people may not know him!, but it doesn't matter" Varisian explained the fat man to the others, "I specially brought him here today, in addition to letting everyone get to know each other, there is also a more important content, that is, the discussion about the content of this war between the Empire and the Gang Africa, I hope you can speak freely and express your views on this war without reservation!"
"Tuava, you start first!"
Varisian directly named one of the outstanding ones, this is a young man with flaxen hair, a handsome appearance, a straight nose, and a sharp look that belongs to a young man, it is obvious that this young man is not the first time to be named, he looks a little proud and smug tone, and begins to state his arguments about the Falcon Empire and the war between the Congo and Africa,
"The war between the Falcon Empire and Gangfei should be a one-sided situation!" Tuawa's voice paused, not immediately stating that it was the side that was being sided, enough to attract everyone's attention
"Do you think the Falcon Empire will sweep away Gangfei? just like last year?" one of the discussants said with a hint of dissatisfaction, "Don't forget, this time, Gangfei is not fighting as a country, they have the aid of the entire Central European Barrow, the Gangfei people have more than 200,000 troops in the south, plus the troops of other countries, it should be able to break through 400,000, and the Falcon Empire's current strength in Putao is no more than 100,000 people!, 100,000 people swept 400,000 people? Are you sure you are not talking nonsense?"
"100,000 sweeps 400,000, this seems impossible, but please don't forget, who is in command in the Putao region!" The battle of Rasti that caused a sensation in the north of Obaro, everyone should still remember, this majesty used 200,000 troops to kill nearly 600,000 people in the Gallic Empire before and after, in front of this majesty, who dares to say that it is impossible!" said the handsome young man with flaxen hair with a solemn face
The air in the room suddenly suffocated, and everyone's faces looked very heavy, and the rebuttal among them said with an ugly face, "You are simply playing tricks, although that one can be called an expert in mobile warfare." But there are too many reasons for the defeat at the Battle of Rasti the Gauls, at least in that battle, in which the man who had his limited forces in corps units for mobile operations. In view of the weakness of the Gauls' defense, I have been studying this tactic, from a strategic level, the Falcon army used this tactic very skillfully, although it defeated nearly 600,000 troops of the Gallic Empire before and after, but no matter the offensive of that section of the defensive line, the Falcon army and the Gallic army will not be more than 1:2......"
The fat man sat at the door of the room, and snorted slightly,
He is just an observer today, the fierce debate in front of him, in his opinion, has only touched some skins, the essence of war is first of all deception, the difference between mediocre and famous generals lies in this, whoever can deceive the other party to death, who is the winner, but these young people can see these furs, it is already very rare, at least enough to command a squadron-level battle, if you can be sent to the Imperial Military Academy for training, you should be able to serve as an excellent combat adjutant!" "It looks like you're sleepy?" Thank you so much last time, otherwise, I really didn't know what to do at the time" A delicate voice sounded in the fat man's ears, it seemed that someone did not want to let him go, there was a hint of tempting fragrance between the noses, the young lady of the Papley family held a notebook in her hand, which was full of words, and sat down next to him gently, which made many males in the room look at him, as the only woman in the room, and a woman who valued both beauty and wisdom, many people thought about how to please the girl, and no one expected to be a stupid fat man." No, I just think it's too profound, and most of them can't understand!" The fat man tilted his head, smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, and said, "What about you, why are you here?"
"This war is related to the life and death of my brother! I just knew that this was what was being discussed at this rally, so I came cheekily! I didn't expect to see you!" The girl's beautiful eyebrows were full of sorrow, and under the gaze of a jealous male, her fragrant body leaned slightly towards the fat man's side, and she looked like a bird, completely ignoring the pieces of eyes all over the ground (to be continued......
