Rwanacre Sea,

It was raining in the sky, the waves on the sea hit the deck, the battleship swayed up and down, the sailors were busy clearing the stagnant water on the deck, the white raindrops made the vision in front of the fleet very blurred, it was almost difficult to see things for more than five miles, the sails on the mast of the battleship had been lowered, and the heavy anchor sank into the water, so that the battleship would rise and fall with the waves without a chaotic formation, among these battleships, twenty of them had the triangular wing flag of the fleet directly under the Southwest Commander-in-Chief at the top of the mast, and the top of the mast of the other forty battleships fluttered the dark blue real Gallic Imperial naval flag

Sixty-seven battleships of the Southwestern Combined Fleet had been waiting for the night longer, the dawn sky was very gray, and the battleships floated up and down with the waves of the waves.

"Your Excellency the Consul, I'm really worried, I won't wait for another day and a night!" Angus Wiley, who was dressed in the uniform of an admiral, looked at the vast sea in the distance, and asked the young man next to him with some uncertainty

"No, I have ordered the army to approach Rwanaka as close as possible, just to make the enemy's naval fleet have no way back!" Alger Langkatya next to him shook his head very confidently, and said, "I believe that the other party should also receive a report from Rwanaka at this moment, in this case, in order to let the reinforcements arrive in Rwanaka as quickly as possible, sea transportation is the first of the other party,

"And according to my observation and the summary of the last Northwest Rebellion, the other side has great confidence in sea transportation, so he will definitely do the same this time, and in order to ensure that it will not be attacked by our navy on the way, even if the other side's naval fleet wants to return halfway, it will be forced to continue to march in the direction of Rwanaka! To ensure the safety of the follow-up transport fleet!" "I heard that the other party is a famous general with the name of the god of war! I wonder what Lord Katya thinks about this!" Angus Wiley's eyes flickered, looking at the raindrops that filled the sea, obviously still a little worried about Algernonkatya's assurance,

It was a taboo to mobilize the Imperial fleet to participate in local disputes without authorization, and the last time it was in the air, Angus Wiley felt a little uneasy. I can't tell why, he just expressed his distrust of the information provided by the southwest, "That's why I have absolute certainty that the other side's naval fleet will appear within the scheduled time!" Algernon Katya's eyes were cold, his voice stopped, and he said coldly, "Unless the commander of the other party is a very cold-blooded person, he can calmly sit back and watch all the five thousand soldiers in Rwanaca be killed by us!" Otherwise, the only order he can give is to forcibly order the navy to continue southward!" If you don't do this, it will cause turmoil in the hearts of the opponent's army, since the opponent is a famous general in the name of the god of war. He should know that no soldier would fight bravely for such a cold-blooded person!"

"And from the strategic point of view, Rwanacco also has a vital position for the other side!" said Algernonkatya slowly, "Among the ports with a curved coastline on the northwest coast, Rwanaca is definitely a natural harbor, with a concave bay, a narrow entrance and a wide interior, very little wind and waves, and the storms at sea never seem to have eroded this place." Because it is a military port of the Empire, Atwood Sea City is generally not allowed to enter the merchant fleet.

Therefore, the preferred supply point for fleets traveling between the north and the south before entering the northwest sea is Rwanacre. Even if there is no trade, food and fresh water must be replenished there, and if the other side abandons Rwanaka, it will be tantamount to opening the door to the northwest coast. As long as we want, our southwest army can march north by sea at any time and go straight to Normandy, the opponent's old nest!"

"I see. No wonder Your Excellency is so confident!"

Angus Willy looked at Algernon Katya with a shocked face, and sighed secretly, "To be able to sit on the top spot in the southwest region at such a young age is really not an ordinary person!"

He had always thought that the reason why this young Southwest Commander-in-Chief was able to ascend to such an important position was entirely because of the surname Algernon, which had a special meaning in the empire. Algernon Katya is still a playmate who grew up with His Majesty the Emperor since he was a child, and he is the most trusted confidant of His Majesty the Emperor, so he can get such a grace, but now it seems that the young commander's acumen and observation, as well as his ability to grasp the entire strategic layout, are not inferior to those old generals who have been on the battlefield for decades "The so-called natural general is probably such a character!"

Angus Wiley whispered to himself with emotion, this time Algernon Katya asked to sit on the front line in person, just to get a close understanding of the Falcon Kingdom naval fleet that he had always been worried about,

Algernonkatya has already regarded this rapidly rising power on the northwest coast as the number one enemy to conquer the northwest, but due to the lack of intelligence, it has never been possible to know the true strength of its military power, and this naval engagement is an excellent opportunity to understand the strength of the northwest coast, as the fat man predicted, Algernonkatya has already set a trap against the Falcon in Rwan-Akabu. "Attention, an unknown fleet has been spotted approaching in the northern seas!"

At this moment, a nervous shout from the lookout post at the top of the mast broke the calm of the whole situation, "Boom" In the white rain and fog, a thunderous sound came from the sea in front, only to see that on the sea surface in the north, dozens of small black dots composed of two inclined lines, are diagonally inserted towards the Southwest Combined Fleet, between the sky and the earth, suddenly there is an abrupt white line, because of the rain, the sight of the two fleets has been affected by Yanzhòng, and when it is discovered, the distance between the two fleets is less than 4 kilometers

"It's the Falcon Navy's slash array! God is really going to destroy the Falcon Fleet!"

Algernon Katya stared into the distance with blazing eyes, and said with a happy smile in his mouth, "This is completely consistent with the information passed back, the other party didn't expect to encounter it at all, so in a hurry, he didn't even have time to change the formation" "The Commander-in-Chief's analysis is very correct, since it is a thin thin line, let's tear it off!" Angus Willy smiled beside him, the slash queue is a queue that will only be taken when the fleet is moving, and it is impossible to resist the breakthrough against the center, he turned around and began to give combat orders loudly" Order the heavy battleships to launch a surprise attack, and the other detachments will rely on the heavy battleships and form a spindle formation with the central fleet as the core! We will smash each other with one punch!"

The Southwest Combined Fleet, which received the flag, quickly closed its wings, and fifteen heavy imperial giant ships, which were obviously much taller than the other warships, became the vanguard of the queue, followed by the triangular spinning wings composed of nearly fifty imperial warships, and the huge sails painted with the cross-wing coat of arms of the Gallic Imperial Navy, which were blown by the howling sea breeze in an instant, and the heavy bow of the ship split the oncoming waves, pushing another white line, and rushed towards the oncoming ship group to the north

On the Falcon naval flagship on the northern sea, the side flaps of the Dragon-class battleships were being turned over in rows, and the dense black muzzles of Thor were pushed out by the sailors from the inside, and the sound of shooting preparations was constantly transmitted between the ships, and then the entire fleet fell into an unusual silence,

This is the strongest force shown by the Imperial Navy, plus the flagship of the Imperial Navy, what appeared in front of the Southwest Navy this time was 10 main Dragon-class battleships, 60 Dragon's Tooth ships, a total of more than 800 Naval Thor, and 10 siege Thor-like huge main guns on the Dragon-class battleship, even the sailors of the Falcon Empire didn't know what kind of scene it would be when it was about to be launched, a hellish collapse!

Everyone's hearts were sunk in an irrepressible excitement, and the idea of firing a salvo to kill each other was fluttering in the hearts of all the falcon gunners, and the hands of the gunners holding the torches were trembling, it was the trembling of excitement,

If there is one more person in the entire fleet who is calm, that is the Minister of the Navy, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Privateer Fleet, Dustrunkai, the plan is perfect, and the Southwest Fleet really arrived as scheduled, but I don't know what kind of expression they will have when they find out that they have changed from hunters to prey "That must be interesting!"

Dustrenkai was talking to himself, putting down the lookout in his hand, and subconsciously licked his somewhat chapped lips, "The other party really closed the queue and discharged the spindle array that relied on the dense queue for the central breakthrough! Since he was in such a hurry to die, then he couldn't blame me!"

The oncoming sea breeze became more intense, mixed with raindrops hitting his cold face, the opposite Southwest Alliance fleet had approached a distance of 2 kilometers, and both sides could clearly see each other, the white of the rain curtain made the sailors on both sides feel an uncertain hazy feeling, "Prepare to throw heavy stones!

Angus Willy ordered loudly, seeing that there was no change in the distance, it was still the enemy fleet lined up on the beveled edge, and his tone was already full of victory confidence, he believed that the other party must be frightened stupid at the moment, so he was so overwhelmed, and even met the battle with a thin double-line array, as long as his fleet rushed in from the middle, the opponent's array would be chaotic and become the object of being broken by each one

On the other hand, Dustrenkai also slowly walked down from the bow of the flagship, and stood at the front of the battleship when the battleship fired a salvo, which was a very stupid and dangerous behavior.

The huge recoil generated by the salvo of the battleship can make the battleship translate several meters on the sea surface, and the person standing in the bow position will directly bump into the sea from the bow position.

If he became the first naval commander to fall from the bow of a ship and drown, would it be counted in history?

Dustrenkai smiled at the corner of his mouth as he thought of this

The adjutant ran over from him and reported loudly, "Commander, the ships have completed their combat preparations, and the main ship's guns are waiting for the order to fire!" (to be continued......)
