"It seems that Akamatsu has cheered up and reacted quite quickly."

Yang Hui led Garrett and several other [Starry] knights to set off from Nagano as fast as they could, killing the rear of Nagano's main force, but when they arrived, Nagano's main force had already begun to retreat in the direction of Nagoya.

Under the delay of Bunitalia Yamanashi's large army, Yang Hui and the others did not run in vain and killed the three brigades that stayed behind.

"Your Highness, do you need to pursue?" The commander of the Yamanashi Front asked.

"No, you don't." Yang Hui shook his head, although it was a pity that he failed to eat the main force of Nagano, it was not necessary, first, Yang Hui's strategic goal was only to complete the strategic blockade of the northern part of the Sakura Country, and occupy the line from Yamanashi to Nagano, so that the main force of the Sakura Country could be blocked in the south of the Sakura Country, and the remaining remnants of the Sakura Country in the north were just turtles in the urn.

Second, according to the information obtained by Yang Hui, half of Nagano's main force is from the six families in Kyoto, and from the current situation, it is not the sworn enemy of Bunitalia, and Yang Hui still understands the reason for chasing Moko.

Thirdly, the military quality of this main force is not very good, even if they are let go, it will not have much impact on the Yamanashi-Nagano defense line, and it will be easy to find an opportunity to eat them in the future.

"Send someone to take over the military installations in Nagano and the surrounding area, strengthen the defensive line, and after changing the defense, let Clovis take everyone to Tochigi to join me."

“Yes，your highness.”

……

"Really? That's good. Akamatsu was also relieved to hear the news that Nagano's main forces had successfully retreated to Aichi.

"Your Excellency General, most of Nagano's troops are from the six families of Kyoto, why did you want them to retreat? Wouldn't it be better to destroy them by the hand of Bunitalia? The subordinate asked.

"......" Akamatsu glanced at him coldly, and just when he thought that Akamatsu was going to kill again, Akamatsu retracted his gaze and sighed, "Now is the moment for the survival of the country, do we still have to fight among ourselves?" ”

"But ......" subordinates want to say that even if they don't want to fight, with the character of the six families in Kyoto, they will continue to fight, and even betray them for their own interests, and sell the interests of the whole country.

"No, but, they are them, we are us." Akamatsu looked at the battle map, and looked at Nagano and Yamanashi, which had become the occupied area of Bunitalia, and smiled bitterly, "Let's just leave a spark for the country." ”

"Your Excellency General......"

"Your Excellency, General! Urgent information, Conelia's [Rose Witch] Knights left Hokkaido, landed on the main island from Oma, and cooperated with Bunitalia's fleet to capture Mutsunoku, blocking the Gotsuru fleet and the Osato fleet in the Tsugaru Strait. ”

"Cornelia gave up Hokkaido?" Akamatsu was surprised and immediately asked, "What about the Sasebo fleet?" ”

"The Sasebo fleet immediately went north after receiving your order, and went to the Osato military port to meet the Gotsuru fleet and the Osato fleet, but before it reached Fukaura, the Tsugaru Strait was blocked by the fleet of Bunitalia, but the blockade on the west side of the Tsugaru Strait is not strong, and now the Sasebo fleet will be able to break through the blockade of the Bunitalia fleet in a short time and go to meet the Gotsuru and Osato fleets......"

"No, it's a trap." Akamatsu shook his head and gave the order to go, "This is a trap set by Cornelia, she wants to annihilate the three fleets of our army in one fell swoop, and orders the Gotsuru fleet and the Osato fleet to abandon the Osato military port and break through to the west, with the Sasebo fleet providing support, and the blockade line will be opened from both sides, and after the breakthrough, the Osato fleet and the Gotsuru fleet will retreat to Itsukushima, and the Sasebo fleet will return to the Gotsuru military port." ”

"General, once the Osato Military Port is lost, we will completely lose control of Hokkaido!"

"I know, but ...... No way. Akamatsu was helpless, "With the loss of Nagano, Bunitaria has completed the ground blockade of the northern part of the Sakura Country, and the entire northern part has fallen...... It's just a matter of time. ”

"But we still have Kyoto! And Aichi! And Nagoya! As long as this blockade is broken......"

"Hehe, Yang Hui will give us this opportunity?"

"Don't we still have the Kure fleet and the Yokosuka fleet? They are still ...... in Shizuoka."

"Report! Will...... Your Excellency General...... Shizuoka ...... Shizuoka is lost! The Yokosuka fleet was completely annihilated, with Kure's fleet suffering 30% casualties and Aichi's support forces also losing 20% of their strength. ”

"What!?" XN

"Hehe, do as I say."

"Yes...... Be. ”

"This battle ...... What an unreasonable fight, Knightmare...... It should be said that you, Yang Hui, we will meet again soon. ”、

……

Arriving at Tochigi, Yang Hui received the news of the Da Mi Military Port and was also stunned.

"The Osato Fleet and the Gotsuru Fleet have abandoned the Osato Military Port?"

"Yes, His Royal Highness Conelia led the [Rose Witch] Knights to leave Hokkaido suddenly, landed on the main island from Oma, and blocked the Tsugaru Strait after taking over the command of the fleet, but the enemy Sasebo fleet failed to blockade it, and the blockade on the west side was successfully broken through by the enemy fleet under the attack from both sides, and because the Osato Fleet and the Gotsuru Fleet took all the defenders of the Osato Military Port away before leaving, the Osato Military Port was taken by His Royal Highness Conelia without resistance."

"Hmm...... is worthy of being the royal sister, this hand closes the door to catch thieves and throws bricks and jades beautifully. Yang Hui exclaimed, he didn't expect that Conelia would seize this opportunity to abandon the base in Hokkaido and come to the main island to command two fleets to blockade the Tsugaru Strait.

This is a conspiracy, the fleet blocked the Tsugaru Strait, the Osato fleet and the Gotsuru fleet can only be locked up in the Osato military port, and the only "solution" is on the Sasebo fleet, but the Sasebo fleet cannot cooperate with the Osato fleet and the Gotsuru fleet to completely destroy the fleet of Bunitalia, then there are only two options, the Sasebo fleet breaks through the blockade of the Bunitalia fleet and enters the Osato military port, and rendezvous with the Gotsuru and Osato fleets, or cooperates with the Gotsuru and Osato fleets to break through.

The former's three fleets were locked up together in the Osato Military Port, waiting for the fate of being completely annihilated; The latter abandoned the military port of Osato.

Either way, Conelia's goal was achieved, and her goal was not to eat three fleets in one bite, but to take down the Osato Military Port and remove the Osato Military Port's deterrence against Hokkaido.

When the three fleets came together, they could indeed stalemate with the Bunitalia fleet, but when the ground forces of Bunitalia were freed up and launched a simultaneous attack by the land, sea and air forces from the north and south, the three fleets could only be completely annihilated.

"What about the Imperial Sister and the [Rose Witch] Knights?"

"We are resting in Mutsu and are expected to return to the Hokkaido region tomorrow with the First Fleet."

"Well, it's the character of the imperial sister." Yang Hui shrugged his shoulders, he also planned to call the [Rose Witch] Knights to launch a general attack on the last Sakura Country base in the northern part of the Cherry Blossom Country, the Itsukushima base.

"I've helped you so much, if you can't defeat the Itsukushima base, I look down on you!" Yang Hui had already expected that Cornelia would say that about him.

"Order the defenders of Miyagi to send someone to receive the Osato military port, tell Neal to move south from the Tsugaru Strait and approach the Itsukushima base, and when Clovis and them arrive, the entire army of Tochigi will attack with me, target the Itsukushima base, and draw an end to this war."

“Yes，your highness！”

After giving the order, Yang Hui returned to the separate room prepared for him, and took out the terminal that had been vibrating, and the terminal had communication access when he first arrived in Tochigi, but Yang Hui didn't answer it in a hurry after seeing the caller, and only returned to the room to connect his phone after the military affairs were handled.

"Your Highness Yang Hui, I am Shumu."

"Prime Minister Shuki, do you have any advice?"

"Your Royal Highness Yang Hui, Ming people don't say secret words, let's get straight to the point, what price do we need to pay to make you stop?"

"I'll tell you the price at the beginning, Prime Minister Pivot."

“…… The price you are asking for is too much, we can't say yes, we can't promise you. ”

"That's how my price is, it's not my problem if you can afford it, so be it......"

"Wait!"

"Anything else? Prime Minister of Pivot Wood. ”

“…… The six houses in Kyoto have already watched from the wall, and I have no binding force on them, so ...... I can surrender to Bunitalia on behalf of the Sakura Country, and Yamanashi and north of Nagano will become your territory, and my country is willing to bow down to the returning country. ”

"Hehe, this is not right, Prime Minister Shuki, the north of Yamanashi and Nagano was beaten down by the soldiers of our army with their own hands, and it is my territory, I don't need you to give it, as for whether I return to the country and surrender, it doesn't matter whether I am a vassal or not, it is only a matter of time for me, so your price is worthless."

"But to be able to end the war as soon as possible and reduce the casualties of your army, although our country can only passively defend and have no ability to fight back, but if you are in a hurry, it will also burst out with extraordinary combat effectiveness, and you can directly end the war and pick the fruits of victory, isn't it a better choice for Your Highness and your army?"

"You have a point......

"That ......"

"But I don't think Akamatsu will listen to you."

“……”

"Therefore, your proposal is still worthless, and Akamatsu will not give up resistance because of your surrender."

“…… I have all the information of the six families in Kyoto, including their secret warehouses, black organizations, and secret assets...... I think this should help His Highness. ”

"Not enough."

"Your Highness Yang Hui, do you really plan to break the net!?"

"No, no, no, you're mistaken, Prime Minister Shuki." Yang Hui didn't care about Shumu's excitement at all, and said to him calmly, "The fish will definitely die, and the net will never be broken, and when I take the entire northern part of the Sakura Country, it only takes a period of stability, and the local support fleet should also arrive, when the time comes, no matter how much fire Akamatsu has reserved for you now, and how many hole cards the six families of Kyoto have hidden, in the face of absolute power, it will not make any sense, understand?" ”

“…… Your Highness Yang Hui, how are you willing to accept it? ”

"Well, I think about it...... Well, add a little more to all the prices you've offered before, and I'll be able to say yes. ”

"You say."

"After the surrender of Sakura Country, all armies were unconditionally disbanded, and the armed forces in the country could only retain a certain number of police at a minimum."
