Chapter 30: Spoils of War and Influence
After the capture of Elsenk, part of the marines were sent to the port, although there were some crew members on the battleship, but they had long been frightened by the power of the meteor fall, and they had not yet recovered, and they did not think of self-sinking or anything -- besides, what was the use of self-sinking? The water depth of the port was only a dozen meters, and it was easy to salvage it.
When the Marines boarded the ship, these frightened and stupid crew members took prisoners without any reaction, and the Marines drove these ships out of the port, and it was not a problem for four thousand people to drive more than a hundred ships, and not to forget Dora's ability, the destroyers with the largest number of destroyers were handed over to her directly, and after the battleships left the port, they stopped on the sea outside the port, and the shipwrecks protected these warships that were seriously short of people.
The highest among these warships were fourteen Imperial first-class battleships - 55,000 tons of empty displacement, twenty Imperial second-class battleships or armored cruisers with a displacement of about 20,000 tons, thirty-four capital ships and hundreds of various auxiliary ships, which was definitely a lot of wealth for the two countries in the war, even if they could not be sold, it was worth it to pull back and disassemble parts.
Because of the influence of Su Fan, the ship type of this shijie has changed a lot, these captured warships are the latest warships of the Puppet Republic Alliance, the design of these battleships is completely a copycat of Su Fan's copycat products, the whole main gun, the central axis, and some of the battleships also use key protection, as for the engine has not yet reached the advanced steam turbine, but the reciprocating steam engine, there is no advantage in speed.
As for who the fleet sold to? You see, isn't the financier already here? The combined fleet that Su Fan had met on the way has finally arrived--it's not that they're slow. It's that Su Fan is too fast. Destroyed the Fortress of Elsenk in one minute. Twenty-four hours later, the city of Elsenk was taken, and when the combined fleet of lords arrived, it was found that the flag on the city had been replaced by the flag of the Empire, and above the national flag, the flag of a round coat of arms was fluttering in the wind.
Radiant flag, these lords all know each other, Su Fan is now famous in the entire continent, and the source of magic power for mass production is this. Of course, this symbol of hers is also well-known, although there are many people who are red-eyed, but first Su Fan killed the Sword Saint, although it is a bit opportunistic, but there is no vanity under the fame, and before she is completely figured out, he still does not dare to act rashly.
"Your Excellency A, look at that flag...is that Catherina?" a lord put down the binoculars in his hand in disbelief, these four lords Luren A, Xiao Bing B, Masses C, and Zhuogen Ding themselves all belonged to an alliance of interests, so they formed a joint fleet. They don't have any deep hatred, so these four lords lead in order to unify them. They all came to the flagship of the fleet, that is, the car of Lu Ren Jia, a first-class battleship of the kingdom with a displacement of about 30,000 tons.
This fleet is actually here to brush up on a sense of presence or something.,The target is not Elsenk.,After all, there's a fleet stationed near Elsengk.,This fleet belongs to the Imperial level.,The purpose of this combined fleet is to brush up on a sense of existence.,And then go to attack another small coastal city.,If Aelsenk's fleet pursues.,Then it's good to escape.γ
These four lords are all indirectly using the source of magic produced by Radiation City, of course they know Su Fan's banner, and they also have some understanding of Su Fan, when they see the radiation flag fluttering in the sky above the Elsenk, they are all strange, if it is said that the Elsenk was beaten down by Su Fan, they really don't believe it, although it is not easy to take down this ancient city, but it is not so difficult, but don't forget the Fortress of Elsenk, the army of more than one million and a powerful fleet are definitely not something that their small combined fleet can deal withγ
Su Fan was cruising on the sea at this time, and just saw this fleet, she quickly leaned over, the ship that pierced the bow of the wave ship was not absent in the other world, but her wave-piercing and anti-ship side plus polyhedron hull was unique, and the four lords also recognized Su Fan.
At Su Fan's invitation, the four lords came to Aiersenke City with her, and the empire basically wouldn't play some things that dragged its feet when it was unanimous with the outside world, plus these four lords and Su Fan had no conflict, and at Su Fan's invitation, the four of them came to Aiersenke City.
The city of Elsenk has been completely pacified at this time, this city originally belonged to the empire, the Mani Republic has not yet completed the brainwashing of civilians, when the "king master" arrived, the residents of the city did not have any excessive resistance, and the war in the city was completely gone.
In the City Lord's Mansion in Aiersenke City, now called the city government, Su Fan and the four lords sat around a round table and began to discuss, of course Su Fan was going to sell military merits and war loot, and she couldn't use these conventional warships, when she proposed her "goods", the eyes of the four lords showed excitement.
Unless it is a family that has to obey the orders of the family, few people are generally willing to sell their military merits, and it is such a big credit, Su Fan is ready to sell the entire Elsenk and the Elsenk Fortress! The four lords glanced at each other, and finally could only shake their heads regretfully, their strength was a little low, and it was not enough to eat such a big credit, so they could only go to someone to share it.
Although the battle exploits cannot be shared, but a powerful empire-class fleet is divided by these lords, the price of these top warships is too cheap, the price of empire-class warships is almost the same as that of the kingdom-level, after a little discussion, the four of them divided the more than a hundred warships - of course, it is only a temporary agreement, and the spoils of war will not be talked about until the end of the war.
After capturing Elsenk, Su Fan's army was overstretched, and she could only give up her plan to continue attacking, but she was not without a battle to fight, Elsenk Fortress is a very important position, after it was captured by the Empire, there was a huge hole in the defense line that was originally a whole, and the Imperial Army was completely able to raid the Republic army on the defense line through this loophole, so it must be taken back here.
At present, the territory area controlled by the two sides is more than five to four, the population is about the same, there are many masters of the empire, but the economy is erosive, and the masters of the republic are relatively few, but the economy is very developed, so the gap between the conventional armies of the two sides is very large, and the defense line is easy to attack and difficult to defend because of the direction of the problem, and when the empire takes the initiative to attack, the Mani Republic can only passively defend.
Su Fan's meteor shower directly broke the jihua of the war, and it took less than a minute to kill a million heavily armed troops and destroy a fortress one by one, such a powerful combat power made both sides of the war feel fear, and the pseudo-republic that made a good rumor began to kill Su Fan continuously, and added everything before her to blow a rare thing in the sky, as if she was the first master of the command race, and at the same time, the empire also changed the tendency of war.
The altitude of 2,000 kilometers is really safe, although the meteor system has come to the sky above the city of Elsenk, but the anti-satellite missile of Long Aotian did not hit, this system did not continue to attack, but only locked the target around the fortress of Elsenk, once there are a large number of troops, the metal rod that fell from the sky will tell them that even on flat ground, the kinetic weapon system is very terrifying.
After Su Fan arranged the affairs of the city, he came to the sea with the ship, she believed that Long Aotian would definitely come, she appeared on the battlefield with such a strong attitude, and she didn't believe that Long Aotian, who was born to like to brush up on the sense of existence, would not come, although this war was a regional conflict between two countries, but all the members of the two camps focused their eyes on the battlefield, and there were many "volunteers" on the battlefield to participate in the war.
Su Fan's earth-shattering blow shocked the entire Shijie, even the Sword Master couldn't completely destroy a fortress with a million troops in less than a minute, right? And it was buried in the ground, the strength of the Sword Master lies in that attack power - even the wrecker can only be regarded as half a catty and eight taels, but when it comes to face attack, a nuclear bomb can completely explode.
During this time, some lords began to contact Su Fan, ready to buy some battle merits, and recaptured such a great achievement as Elsenk, even some top families were red-eyed, and Olive had already received many communications from the family, ready to go through the back door.
In the end, the credit for the city of Elsenk and the fortress of Elsenk was divided among dozens of lords, at the cost of the magical metal that lay in Victoria's cabin.
The Imperial army arrived at the city of Elsenk one after another, because of the destruction of the fortress of Elsink, the imperial side regarded this place as the breakthrough point of this war, the commander-in-chief of this war was a general who Su Fan could not name, and she was not interested in knowing that the imperial army had very little constraints on the lord's army.
When the Imperial army was assembled, in the El Senk Canyon behind the El Senk Fortress, there was a human flesh mill, millions of Imperial troops and millions of Republic troops fought in this "canyon", although this is called "Canyon" but the terrain here is just a large flat land, without the obstruction of the mountains, the two sides are more than ten kilometers away from each other to start civil engineering operations, and within a few days this canyon has become a huge construction site.
Bunkers have been erected, trenches have been dug up, and the Empire is ready to use it to break through, and the Republic is ready to inflict heavy losses on the Imperial army. (To be continued......)
