"Have I forgotten something?" said William, who was a little surprised to hear her say, and then thought about it carefully, and then made sure that he had not forgotten anything. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"I don't think—"

I mean, as we said before, the command of the Navy is mine. Victoria interrupted William and said so.

“...... I'm just making some suggestions. William said.

"Yes, advice, and only advice. Victoria looked at William and said, "It's up to me whether or not to adopt it. ”

"yes, I don't have a problem with that, I mean—"

"--I've heard your words, and so are your plans, and it's my business whether or not to adopt them, William, don't you think you're a little too controlling? The question is, William, don't try to control what doesn't belong to you. This is an important thing, and I want you to keep that in mind. ”

That's it, and then, William didn't say anything. This made Victoria feel very proud and excited. Because she rarely bargained for anything in William's hands. Like now, William has never been speechless.

So, Victoria felt very happy, so Victoria just like that, and left with a happy expression on her face. This left William speechless.

"What the hell is this guy happy about?" After this, Charlumi and Elise took care of their business, and then went to William's room, just in time to see Victoria walking out triumphantly, and then leaving as if no one was around.

Although before that, William had explained his relationship with Victoria to Elise. But Elise was still skeptical. So, seeing that Victoria was so happy when she left William's room, Elise muttered again.

After entering William's room, Elise pretended to be casual and asked William this question.

Knowing what mess was going on in Elise's mind, William couldn't help but laugh. Then he told the story as it was. Elise breathed a sigh of relief.

"In other words, that guy doesn't want to accept your tactics, William?but even then, you don't need to be so happy, do you?"

"This guy...... Well, she's looking for any chance to overpower me. After considering the wording, William said, "So, this time this guy couldn't say what I said, she must think she has won, so she is happy." ”

"Strange woman. There weren't as many twists and turns in Elise's heart, so Charlumi quickly commented, "That guy is really different from us." ”

"Perhaps. William remained silent.

"Is it because that guy didn't take your advice, so he's not happy?" Charlumie then asked, "You don't have a big heart, William." ”

"No, I'm just worried that the Navy's mistakes will cause me unnecessary trouble. William said.

"Will the navy be defeated?" asked Charlumie.

"Defeat is not ...... However......" William frowned: "There is a high probability that they will not be able to achieve the intended strategic goals." If that's the case, we're going to have a little more stress. ”

"You mean that if that guy doesn't take your advice, we'll be at a disadvantage?" Elise was a little incredulous: "William, do you have a good understanding of naval warfare?"

"There's no research. William said: "If it's tactics, there's really not much research. But if we talk about strategy, tactics and other things. Both land and naval battles are interconnected. I didn't think to point fingers at specific commands. I just want to give the other party a little hint on the big strategy, but the other party doesn't seem to appreciate it. ”

"Or maybe the other party already has his own plans?" said Elise, "or maybe the other party is refuting your suggestion on the surface, but in fact carrying out your suggestion?"

"I don't think that woman is a good commander. William said, "Although she herself thinks she is." But in fact, that guy's combat effectiveness is really not high. Seriously. I don't think that guy is going to be that awkward...... If it's really like you say, she just superficially refuted my suggestion.

But I don't think she would do that. Because my fleet will definitely report to me after the battle. If I had known that she had won with the tactics I had taught her, I would have laughed at her. And she would never want me to laugh at her......

Of course, there's an even worse possibility, which is that the guy didn't listen to me at all, and she didn't care what I said. All she cares about is disgrace for me. And what I said, she didn't pay attention to at all. ”

"So ......"

"So, we need to be ready. ”

The truth is exactly what William said. Soon, news of the defeat of the Navy came from the front.

Just as William thought, Victoria didn't take what William said to heart at all. She kept her old tactics. After this, the combined fleet of Visigoths and Asturias used a plan similar to what William had said.

"The other side organized a merchant fleet. It was one of the large merchant ships that specialized in the West Indies route. William's expeditionary fleet brought William the latest information: "Those merchant ships are not much different from battleships in terms of appearance alone. In fact, if you don't look closely, many people will mistake those huge merchant ships for warships.

They used this merchant fleet, plus a handful of frigates, to form a fleet, deliberately exposing the western side of Florida. Then lured our main fleet forward.

At the same time, their real main fleet, as well as a large number of transports, engaged in a sabotage battle on the eastern flank.

They broke through the blockade of our troops and sank several coalition ships. And more than a dozen ships were damaged. ”

"On top of that, they transported at least 20,000 troops to Florida. William said with a headache.

"Yes, that's it. Originally, with their capacity, it was enough to transport 50,000 troops in one go. It's just that they used some of the ships as bait and sent them to the other side, so they could only transport 20,000 at a time. ”

"And then, don't tell me that the main force of the Combined Fleet has left behind those merchant fleets and turned its head to attack the enemy's main force. William said even more unpleasantly.

"......" This time, the naval lieutenant who came to report did not say anything, but looked at William with a surprised expression. It was as if to say, "How did you know this?" and after seeing his surprised eyes, William felt that his headache was even worse.

"Did they really do that?" asked William.

"Yes, they did. ”

"Then wait......" William shook his head helplessly: "It's too late to send another messenger, and then send the fastest ship to the sea to report." It's terrible......"

"What are you talking about?" the other party clearly didn't understand what William meant.

"I mean, if I were the Visigothic and Asturias commander, I would put my fleet in a counterattack encirclement. When our combined fleet hurried over and wanted to attack them, we would go back and fight again. If that's the case, what do you think will happen to the winner?"

“...... Unthinkable. Although William seemed to be very powerful, the naval lieutenant was still a little ...... It's a bit incomprehensible.

"Forget it, let's go, Mr. Major. Maybe in a little while I will receive news of the defeat of the Combined Fleet. ”

William waved at him helplessly. After that, the admiral, who was also preoccupied with William's infection, saluted, and then turned away.

"Perhaps I should take this opportunity to talk to Victoria about increasing the number of troops. The Britons had enough fleets. They might even be willing to send a new expeditionary fleet to the New World. William thought to himself. But then, he put this idea down.

Not that this idea of his is wrong. Just to say that the idea is not at the right time. No one will like those who have prophetic powers. Especially when they predicted their own failure at the beginning, they still insisted on doing it. It turned out to be a real failure later.

What's special is that at such times, the prophetic figure will come up to himself with a smug face and say, "Look, look, I told you a long time ago, but you just won't listen." ”

In this case, 99% of people will want to kill people because they can't stand it.

Well, it's like Yuan Shao killed Tian Feng or something--you're talking a lot.

That's why smart people always die young. Especially when encountering a tyrannical and stupid monarch. Especially the ones who are smart and talk a lot of, they are always the ones who die the fastest.

So, although William was not only a wise man, but also a monarch. Even if he talks too much, there's no way anyone will kill him. But it is inevitable that you will not cooperate and feel that he is annoying.

Especially, when he's working with such a pretentious bastard as Victoria.

William could believe that this bastard would make an even bigger mistake in order to cover up one of his mistakes. For example, this time he still didn't listen to William or something......
