January, Saland, Moon Ans Harbor, Admiralty Building,

The green vine façade, the quaint and elegant mansion, since the naval battle and Antoros, usually walked here are the commanders from the various fleets, and the civilian personnel who come and go with the papers, but today is completely different, starting from entering the gate of the palace, three steps and one sentry, five steps and one post, and the patrols in cloak and full armor walk back and forth from time to time,

Even on every corner of the corridor of the hall, there were soldiers standing in full armor, responsible for checking the documents of people entering and leaving,

These soldiers were stern and not wearing the navy uniforms that the Admiralty was responsible for patrolling, but the black uniforms that really belonged to the suffocating Ministry of Inspection, a sight that can only be seen in a truly top-secret meeting.

The rare saber-rattling atmosphere made everyone who walked into the conference room feel a little nervous.

The fat man pushed open the marble door inlaid with white silver edges in front of him, and the sound of steady and powerful footsteps made the air of the entire conference room solidify, the conference room was full of people, and the appearance of the fat man immediately attracted everyone's attention, and the low voice of grace immediately stopped, and only the sound of the cold wind blowing the trees outside could be heard

"All Stand Up"

"Boom" Qi brushed the sound of standing up, and the whole conference room shook En'en,

Led by the Southern Governor Statunko, a dozen generals of the Southern Army sitting on the left side of the conference table, and more than thirty naval captains sitting on the right side headed by the Minister of the Navy, Dustrenke, stretched their whole bodies straight like springs that were suddenly released.

The number of people, the enthusiasm of the momentum, almost the entire conference room was full, whether it was the generals of the Southern Army or the captains of the navy, their eyes contained excitement and enthusiasm that could not be concealed, like a burning fighting heart, and it was the third time that His Majesty Falcon had visited the Admiralty in person this month. But this time, even the army side is so neatly gathered, which is enough to prove,

His Majesty Falcon made the final decision on the upcoming Normandy expedition, which was the clarion call for an all-out battle, and on the land side, this was the first all-out attack of the Southern Army after a half-year silence, and this was not the expeditionary force of 20,000 Salanders sent out earlier, this was the real main army of the Empire. Neither equipment nor will to fight is the same

Although most people believe that the Empire's famous generals are gathered in the north, compared with those colleagues in the north who are full of medals of glory, the generals within the Southern Army are also full of covetousness and ambition for this attack on Obarro. This can be regarded as the fat man's compensation for the dedication of the Southern Army for several years.

On the naval side, it was the Imperial Navy's largest operation of the year, mobilizing more than 150 naval warships and dispatching privateers. The mainland, and even part of the Dyrens Navy, without counting the land forces, dispatched more than 25,000 troops. The number of transported transports is even more difficult to calculate,

This was the largest gathering of Imperial naval forces, some expected. The forces gathered by the Admiralty in the early stage this time were enough to destroy the Nord Navy, which had previously competed with it, more than three times.

Look at this majestic and excellent naval port, established like a continuous pearl on the coast of the Salander Sea, forming a huge complete offensive and defensive strategic system, watching the brand-new naval warships soaring above the blue waves of the sea, quickly replacing the original old naval warships, and gradually becoming the main ship of the navy, watching young people full of vigor and ambition, filling the queue of the navy from the army side,

It is enough to show that in this short period of one year, the hopes and military spending that His Majesty Falcon has placed on the navy are rumors that have been multiplied and superimposed, and they are not just groundless.

According to the report of the Imperial Ministry of the Interior, when the Imperial Navy was engaged in the battle against the Salander Navy in January, the only naval forces that the Imperial could use were 3 detachments of the privateer fleet, attacking 40 warships and some transport ships, and the annual military expenditure was 4 million gold coins.

The number of warships also exceeded 100 for the first time, and then the Imperial North Sea Fleet was formed to go north, the privateer fleet went south, and the Dragon-class capital ships were launched, and the navy's military expenditure finally broke through the 10 million gold coin barrier in October.

According to the joint letter of several army commanders of the army, the imperial army is responsible for the main combat mission, with nearly 300,000 troops, and the military expenditure of the four major army corps is only about 20 million a year, and the navy is only less than 30,000 people, and the military expenditure has reached one-half of that of the army, which is a very unfair phenomenon.

And the reply given by His Majesty of the Falcon was, "If any of you can wade across the vast sea with your feet and plant the Falcon Battle Flag on the opposite side of the Obarro Continent, I don't mind giving him an additional 10 million military expenses! If you can't do it, hehe, don't say I'm merciless, everyone will go to Parabon three times naked."

In response to this reply, several army commanders collectively remained silent, and the cunning Ssalon was the first to quickly say that the navy is the best combat partner of the army and the sword of the empire, in fact, his defense area has nothing to do with the sea, but the military bosses are very clear that the wings of the navy will be the center of gravity of His Majesty's future and an important guarantee for the army to continue to be able to obtain glory, and if His Majesty Falcon is serious, it is also very incomprehensible, and if he continues to toss like this, maybe even the original military expenses will be deducted.

For this meeting, in the waters of Antoros, Admiral Dustrenquet, who was in charge of the overall situation of the preliminary operation, had returned to the Admiralty three days earlier, and all the naval warships belonging to the First Privateer Fleet had also returned to their base camp at the same time.

The warships gathered, and the army also moved towards the Moon Anthians.

Everyone was waiting for this important moment, if the current battle in the sea was just a strategic deployment of the Empire, this meeting would represent the Falcon Majesty's decision to finally draw the extremely sharp Imperial Sword and stab it fiercely on the continent of Obarro

"Sit down, everybody!"

The fat man came to the most important position in the middle and sat down, his eyes swept over the hot faces of everyone, waved his hand to everyone, opened a leather scroll printed with a silver thorn heraldic background, and said in a deep voice, "I believe everyone should have guessed the reason for this meeting, I won't say more, and now announce the battle order ......" (to be continued.) )
