Chapter 733: The Support Fleet Arrives
It has only been 5 days since the declaration of war began, and Akamatsu looks at the vast land that has turned the color of bunitalia, and his face is only vicissitudes and exhaustion.
In the past few days, Bunitaria's offensive has not stopped at all, and it is treacherous and changeable, sometimes steady and steady, step by step, sometimes by leaps and bounds, and rapid expansion.
Now the Tokyo Metropolitan is already the rear of Bunitalia, the counterattack place Yokosuka military port failed to block the attack of Bunitalia, and fell into the hands of the enemy under the front and rear flanking attacks, the Yokosuka fleet suffered heavy losses, and the ground troops that went to support were lost, but fortunately, the Wu fleet did not arrive in time to be self-defeating, and the fire of the counterattack was preserved, and it has now returned to the Kure military port to rest.
In the direction of the Osato military port, Gotsuru and the Sasebo fleet successfully converged with the Osato fleet and successfully repelled the attack of Bunitaria, and the Osato military port was saved, but ...... The dilapidated military port had lost its original purpose and had not dealt much damage to Bunitalia's army.
In the direction of the Itsukushima base, Akamatsu gathered elite naval forces and prepared to destroy the Bunitaria fleet that stayed outside the maximum cordon in one go, but as soon as the other party found out that Itsukushima's elite sortie began to retreat, and when Itsukushima's Sakura Country fleet began to return, it returned to its original position, and began to retreat again after the pursuit, which was simply shameless written on the face, and there was no hiding it.
Starting from Numazu, Mt. Fuji, Fujiyoshida, Yamanashi, Okano, Ashikaga, Tochigi, Fukushima, and all the way to Miyagi, all of them were occupied by Bunitalia, and in just 5 days, nearly one-sixth of the land, the Ground Self-Defense Forces had no resistance at all, and they were either completely annihilated by the Knightmare forces in a very short period of time, or they directly chose to surrender.
The most helpless thing for Akamatsu is not this, but the Hokkaido region, where Conelia's [Rose Witch] Knights directly landed at the Chitose base in Hokkaido, wiped out the defenders without much effort, and took it as their own base, and then slowly expanded outward, or the three-machine team went out to wander, turning the entire Hokkaido region upside down.
Now it is no longer possible to organize an effective resistance force, it is completely a piece of meat, waiting for the arrival of the large army of the Bunitarian Empire, and eating it directly.
Once Hokkaido falls, the entire remaining territory in the northern part of Sakura Country will fall into a two-sided attack, and even if Akamatsu has the ability to reach the sky, he will not be able to reverse the decline of Sakura Country, and he will either lead the whole army to retreat to the south of Sakura Country, or be eaten by Bunitalia to the bone.
"Your Excellency, General!"
"Is it bad news again?" Seeing the panicked expressions of his subordinates, Akamatsu knew that it must be bad news again.
"Yes...... Yes. The subordinate swallowed and nodded.
"Say it."
"Reinforcements from Bunitaria have arrived."
"Reinforcements? Where did the reinforcements come from? Akamatsu was stunned for a moment, unless the reinforcements from the Bunitalia Empire were airlifted on a large scale, it would take at least half a month to arrive, if it was only airlifted reinforcements, it would be impossible for his subordinates to have such expressions.
"It's the fleet of [TEN], and Clovis, the third prince of Bunitalia, personally led the two fleets to the Yokosuka military port."
"[TEN]'s fleet! How can it be? ”
This shocked Akamatsu, the lords of Bunitalia generally do not meddle in affairs outside the territory, unless the emperor of the empire personally orders, they must carry it out, even if other lords ask for help, it depends on whether the lord agrees.
[TEN] is almost a quarter of a world away from the Sakura Country, and Clovis still personally brought people to support, which shows how good the relationship between Yang Hui and Clovis is.
"Your Excellency, General, we ...... What to do? ”
“…… How's Knightmare's research going? Akamatsu asked.
Since Glasgow was replaced by Sunderland, all parts of the country began to be redressed, most of the eliminated Glasgow lost warehouses waiting to be dismantled, but a small part was still lost, some people in the logistics department wanted to make some extra money, so they put the Glasgow in the warehouse to the black market for sale, and then into the hands of various countries.
Naturally, Sakura Country will not let go of this opportunity, and spent a lot of money to get a few Glasgows from the black market, and then began to study Knightmare technology, because the whole world thinks that the Bunitaria Empire can be so powerful militarily, all because of Knightmare, without Knightmare's advantage, it is nothing.
Therefore, after getting a few Glasgow, Sakura Country invested huge manpower and material resources in research, wanting to develop Knightmare belonging to Sakura Country.
“…… It's ongoing, and it's going well. ”
"Good progress? Hehe, how good is it!? When will we be able to come up with Knightmare to take on Bunitalia!? ”
"This ......"
"Hehe, bastard of the Kyoto Six family!" Akamatsu scolded that those Glasgows were bought from the black market at the expense of Kyoto Six, and only Kyoto Six could get this money in the entire Cherry Blossom Country, so of course the development rights of Knightmare fell on Kyoto Six.
From the beginning of the war, all the high-ranking officers who surrendered were all from the Kyoto Six Family, and fools could see that they were betting on both sides, and there was only a problem if the development progress of Knightmare could be fast! Even if it can be made as soon as possible, it won't let Akamatsu know!
"Your Excellency, General, we ...... Should you withdraw to the southern regions? ”
"Withdraw? Hehe. Akamatsu glanced at his subordinates and smiled coldly, "The six families of Kyoto will make the southern region centered on Kyoto their empire, and there will be ...... There is no place for us anymore. ”
It was because of the defeat that the young Zhuang faction of the Akamatsu faction suffered an unprecedented blow, this retreat, it means defeat, another defeat, not to mention that the Akamatsu has no way to live, even the young Zhuang faction can only disappear, and the entire Sakura Country will become the world of the old bastards of the six families in Kyoto, and under their leadership, the Sakura Country will only become the dog of Bunitalia!
"But Your Excellency General, stay in the green mountains without worrying about running out of firewood."
“…… Go back to your post. ”
"Yes......"
"Bang~!"
At the moment when his subordinates turned around, the gunshot rang out, and he looked down at his chest in disbelief, his clothes were dyed red, and there was an extra hole in his left chest, which was cold.
"Will ...... Military ......"
"Puff~"
Akamatsu looked at the corpse that fell to the ground, his eyes were indifferent: "I knew a long time ago that you are a member of the six families in Kyoto, come here!" ”
"General!" Rushing in was Akamatsu's guard squad, and they were all his dead soldiers.
"Dispose of the body and reveal that he is a spy for Bunitalia."
"Yes."
……
On the other side of the Yokosuka Military Port, Yang Hui stood on the shore and watched the fleet in the distance getting closer and closer.
"Mr. Yang Hui, I have already confirmed my identity, it is the [TEN] fleet led by Clovis."
"It's finally here." Yang Hui nodded, the corners of his mouth curled.
In fact, two days earlier, Bunitalia's troops had stopped attacking on all fronts, not for anything else, but because there were not so many of them.
The territory laid down is too big, there are not enough people to take over, and the attacking combat troops have to be separated, and the troops left behind before Conelia leaves are dwarfed by the original garrison troops yours, and even on the Hokkaido side, Cornelia can only guard one acre and three points of land in the Chitose base, and no one will receive it at all.
The [Nightmare] Knights are also resting at Yokosuka Military Port, and there are countless small battles, so it's time to take a break, recuperate, and wait for Clovis to arrive and take the northern part of the Sakura Country in one go.
Soon, the warships entered the harbor one after another, and Clovis walked slowly down from the flagship, with graceful steps and dignified posture.
"Don't think that after being the governor for a few years, you can pretend to be forced in front of me, come down!" Yang Hui looked at Clovis's slow steps, and couldn't help but complain loudly, otherwise, he really doubted that Clovis would have to walk for half an hour in a few minutes!
Sure enough, hearing Yang Hui's complaint, Clovis stumbled and almost fell, and after stabilizing his body, he ran over with a red face, grabbed Yang Hui's collar and scolded.
"Yang Hui! You bastard! As soon as you make a phone call, I will quickly bring someone from [TEN] to help you fight, if you are not grateful to Dade, forget it, and still have this attitude towards me! You've gone too far! ”
"Uh-uh...... Other...... Don't shake it. Yang Hui broke free of Clovis's hands and took a few breaths of fresh air, "[Nightmare of the Empire] didn't die on the battlefield, he was almost shaken to death by you, do you want to go down in history like that?" ”
"Fuck off! Excessively! ”
"Okay, I'll get out, but I'll give you your fleet first."
"Wow! Yang Hui! I've been tossing and turning on the sea for so many days, and I'm worried that I'll be too late and I'll sped them up regardless of my body, and you end up doing this to me? Good! You're good! I'm leaving! I'm going back with my people! Fight your own battles and go! ”
"Don't!" Yang Hui hurriedly grabbed Clovis's shoulders and said intimately, "It's all here, give my brother a chance to treat you well." ”
"Really? How are you going to entertain me? Clovis still held his head high, but his small eyes squinted at Yang Hui.
"A top-level banquet in the country of cherry blossoms."
"Not interested! I'm leaving! ”
"Wait! The chaebol in Tokyo gave me a lot of paintings, including "Matsu Taka by Nagatoku Kano" and "Hachihashi by Mitsuharashi Ogata". ”
"Is there a picture of a beautiful woman in the night rain by Harunobu Suzuki?"
"There should be, it's all in my warehouse, you can pick whatever you want."
"Deal!"
Regeni Rejeta beside him shook his head with a smile, and Clovis's secretary and adjutant were even more speechless, what kind of prince are these two goods, they are simply speculative traders on the side of the civilian street, and this bargaining process is simply not too silky.
"Let's go, go to my office, and I'll take you to the Governor's Mansion tomorrow."
"No problem, this is Rear Admiral Neil, the commander-in-chief of the fleet, I will leave him to you, you look at the arrangement." Clovis also handed over the military power at will, he knew that he didn't have the ability to command the fleet, so he didn't have to worry about it, this time he had to follow, it was nothing more than to convey a signal to the outside world that he was on Yang Hui's side, and that's it.
