In the waters of Kyoto, where the fog was thick and there was no starlight in the dark night, the sea floated, and the white waves crashed against the side of the battleship, and Linskele, commander of the Fifth Detachment of the Gangfei, stood at the bow of the flagship Feikebring

Below is the icy sea water stirred up by the battleship, and not far away there are even ice blocks that have not completely melted, white, and stand out against the deep black water. The night sky in the middle of winter seems to be forever dark and dreary.

In the vast mist, the moon can never be seen, the ocean is not blue, but a chilling gray-white, the waves are constantly surging, releasing human energy to the fullest on the side of the battleship, making a huge sound and splashing violently at the same time, like a pat on the heart, the lights are dotted, and the cruising fleet composed of twenty non-warships sails in the dark night, because the fog is too big, only the light can let the companions know that they are there. "What an unpleasant night!" Rinskell took a deep breath and turned to the first mate standing behind him, "It's too foggy, this is the end of tonight's cruise!"

"Return, my lord, the Admiral specially ordered that all the cruising fleets must strictly control the fifty-mile range of the Kyoto Sea, which is less than twenty miles......" The first mate was taken aback by this order, and it was only 3 hours out, at a rate of 5 knots per hour, at most 20 li, and the order above required a minimum of 50 li of the control area, although he knew that Commander Linskel had been very dissatisfied after hearing that this counterattack would be sung by the Southern Navy, but it did not reach the point of blatant disobedience

"Fifty miles on a foggy night like this...... Are you kidding. Linskell's eyes flashed with a hint of contempt, he had his own plans, he turned around disapprerovitly, tightened the cuffs of his collar, looked at his first mate with a cold face, pouted and said, "The Admiral's eyes only need to be fixed on a chart that is not dangerous, and we are facing the real sea. Adjusting the intensity of the execution of orders according to different circumstances is within the authority of me, the commander of the fleet, and you can see if you look around, the fog tonight is so big that you can't see things clearly within a hundred meters."

Linskell's voice stopped, and he said with a solemn face

"If we continue to go deeper, after getting out of the range of the lighthouse, I'm afraid that even we will get lost in such a night fog, let alone the Falcon Navy, which is not familiar with the sea situation! And once we fall into the fog zone and can't get out, wait until tomorrow's sun dispels the fog, and we will be completely exposed to the Falcon Navy's encirclement network."

"We only have twenty warships, and according to the intelligence some time ago, there are at least three Falcon Navy fleets operating here! They can wring us into pieces at sea without much effort!" "But it was withdrawn like this, and the higher authorities were investigated...... "The first mate was still hesitating, "No, this is an order! As for the investigation, you don't have to worry about this, the admiral is still worried about the matter of the northbound fleet." I'm not in the mood to care about such a trivial matter right now."

Linskell waved his hand impatiently, "Actually, even if we really encounter the Falcon Fleet, what can we do? Just rely on our 20 warships to make a big difference? Let's give this glory to those guys who have been transferred from the South?" "I heard that the Southern Fleet has transferred more than 200 warships this time! I don't know if it's true?" The first mate asked with a strange look, "Hmph! It's just some powerful villains!" Linskell did not deny it, but snorted in a heavy tone, with a kind of indignation in his eyes, and said with unusually indignation, "If it weren't for our defeat in the naval battle in the southwest region. Suffered from the reproach of His Majesty the Emperor, to the loss of the Caysili Hub, where was the turn to get the Southern Fleet to rise, and this time it was just not the Battle of Kyoto. The ferocious Falcon Navy was fully encircled, and we were once again caught off guard, already in a dilapidated situation. In this encounter, in order to resist the pressure of the other side, we lost a lot of losses again, like my Lynskell, a fleet commander, and only 20 warships under his command, and the Southern Navy has always been full of disparagement and contempt for our northern fleet, how can we know how much sacrifice we have paid for the empire's northward advance! We are completely fighting with unequal opponents! We're gritting our teeth and we're fighting and bleeding, and those guys are just watching the jokes, aren't they?"

On a starless night, the Gang Fei Patrol Fleet began to turn, if there was no fog tonight and the view was good, perhaps Lynskell would have found that less than ten nautical miles northwest of him, there was a black fleet floating quietly, it was Teagar's Fourth Fleet, which had received an order to retaliate, eleven Dragon's Tooth battleships and two Dragon-class battleships, with enough shells, had been floating on the sea for five hours since they set off at dusk when they received the order,

The fog was too big, which made Teagar's fleet a little unexpected, and could only move in the predicted direction, thanks to the latest nautical charts sent with the order, the fleet commander Tiggall ordered the fleet to extinguish all the lights, the whole group was pulled into a rectangle at an interval of 20 meters, all silent, only the sound of the sea water was snapping against the ship's side, the fleet floated with the waves, they were waiting for the appearance of the Gangfei Navy, blood debt and blood, the blood of a Dragon-class battleship, must be compensated by a Gangfei fleet, this is Dustronik personally issued a retaliation order

Look carefully! Trumphorn 33" Ram Ang, the captain of the Dragon's Tooth Battleship who was in charge of reconnaissance in front of him, held a lookout scope and personally stood on the bridge of the Dragon's Tooth Ship, looking for something that this qiē might indicate the direction, the sea breeze was cold and dry, so that he unconsciously licked his chapped lips that were blown by the sea breeze, and his bloodshot eyes were instantly full of longing, so hated that he didn't directly see through the fog in front of him, but it was useless, even if he opened his eyes to the maximum, the area he could see was no more than 500 meters!" Ramang smiled bitterly at the corner of his mouth, and put down the lookout glasses unwillingly

Like him, in the flagship's war room, the windows were covered with opaque black cloth, and the commander of the detachment, Teagar, also looked confused and used the pen in his hand to draw the lines of what might be the correct course on the chart, this raid, because the fog became ungraspable, several naval staff officers from the flagship team. Just calculating the correct route, "Is there any news from the reconnaissance ship?" Tigger raised his head again, no one responded in the dull war room, hearing his words, no one dared to answer, according to the analysis of the chart, the fleet should have entered the range of the Congo and Africa Navy cruise, but until now, we have not found any trace of the Gangfei Navy, or really deviated from the direction. The fog is too big tonight!" The fleet looked in the direction of forty degrees for the last time! If it still didn't, it could only return the way it came" Tigger put down the pen in his hand and took a deep breath in frustration, and the people in the "bumper" war room were suddenly pushed away, and a naval sailor said hurriedly, "My lord, the lights, there are lights on the southeast sea!" "The lights?" Everyone cheered up, Tigger blinked his eyes, and quickly asked, "What direction did you say you were in?" "The southeast sea! The other party did not find us. It looks like it's on a return voyage," replied the sailor, "If that's right, it's in the direction of Kyoto!" ......A naval staff officer picked up a compass, gestured at the chart, and said, "Haven't Kyoto? Haha!" Teagar seemed to think of something. He looked excited, and his hands danced, "Great, I'm still worried that I can't find the right way to Gangfei Kyoto, so I ordered the fleet to follow at a distance of five miles, and we went to Gangfei Kyoto." Let us strike the first roar of the assault on Gangfeikyo! For the glory of the Empire, and for the sake of our fallen comrades! Let us pay tribute to their desperate battle with a feast and an!" The goal, just not Kyoto!"

In the dark night, one by one the flag speakers use small lamps to shake up and down instead of flags to send signals, the light of the lamps is very small, and the outside is a waterproof glass cover, which will be engulfed in fog in about a thousand meters, so the flag speakers are not worried about being discovered by the Gangfei fleet five miles away, "Find the target, follow!"

As soon as the order was given, the sailors on the deck of the fleet quickly pulled out their sails, and the waves churned, and the huge dragon-class battleship and the dragon-tooth wingman on the right side slowly turned in the same direction, and the sails of the low-lying half-night ship quickly rose to the high mast, like a huge battle flag, which was immediately blown into a hemisphere by the fierce sea breeze, embroidered with a huge golden falcon mark, swaying in the wind, as if coming to life, bringing people a hideous and terrifying momentum,

The sailors' blood was boiling, the bow of the ship accelerated to split the huge waves that hit them, and the churning sea surface boiled, like a sharp sword into the waves, stirring up a salty and wet sea, and the sea breeze howled, and it was difficult to calm the burning fighting spirit of Tigel's fleet.

3 hours later, the Gangfei detachment entered the outer area of the Gangfei Kyoto port, the dense lights of the city were like a giant lighthouse, the blue waves were churning, when the figure of the Tigar fleet appeared in the danger range of 1,500 meters away from the port, the calm Gangfei Kyoto port was still unaware of the oncoming danger, and the Gangfei people regarded the Tigar fleet full of murderous intent as a patrol fleet returning to the port, and even sent a greeting code from the direction of the lighthouse, because the Gangfei people did not believe that the Falcon Navy would be so bold and lone to go deep into such a distance

A carriage stopped at the military port of Kyoto, a squire respectfully opened the door, Linskele, who had just disembarked from the battleship, had changed into a noble costume with gold silk cuffs, and walked into the carriage with some anxiety, tonight is the date of the banquet of the famous family of Kyoto,

As a famous family in Kyoto, the Stunger family is also a pivotal position in the military circles of Gangnon, in the convenience of the establishment of the Empire, the Stunger family dedicated three imperial military undersecretaries to the empire, a senior affairs officer, and now there are two corps commanders in office, the absolute real power of the family, this time everyone knows that the position of Admiral Leko is not guaranteed, the southern naval power is rising, and Linskele, who has a background in the northern navy, has to find a way out, since the navy has no development prospects, it is better to transfer to the army, Linsger happens to have a good relationship with a core member of the Stonge family, if this relationship, transfer to the army should be promising,

The core member specially explained that tonight's family banquet is not trivial, and the two corps commanders who accompanied His Majesty's southern expedition will also attend this banquet, if Linsger is interested in developing in the army, it is best to meet in person, because of this, Linsger did not hesitate to choose to turn back halfway, he didn't know that five miles away from his fleet, Tiggall's fourth fleet was like a pack of lurking hungry wolves. Immediately followed.

Through the bright lenses of the telescope, Teagel can clearly see the dense outline of the distant coastline of Gangfei Kyoto, the spires of large and small houses occupy a huge area of 50 miles in length and width, and countless lights, like twinkling stars in the night sky, according to intelligence, Gangfei Kyoto has a population of up to 600,000, it is a veritable large city, located on the edge of the sea, and has always been the center of the cultural festival between the north and the south. Gang Fei people have been here for 60 years, never thought that one day danger would come from the sea, the side of the harbor is a huge stone statue, the cliff wall by the sea stands a white lighthouse, the huge sea, under the support of white ice floe, presents a gray and white mixed color, light and deep like a dreamlike sea.

If there was no war, they could enjoy a peaceful life in the city, and unfortunately, war. There is no pity, no sympathy, and no hesitation, for the Gangnon people. When they chose to tear up the armistice, they also chose war, which has already taken its toll

"Your Excellency. You're done!"

The Admiralty staff officers walked up from behind with an excited expression, these staff officers who graduated from the Naval Academy, most of the time working in the building of the Admiralty, rarely had the opportunity to really see a fleet of their own side in such a strong posture on the sea surface of an imperial Kyoto, the side flaps of the battleship had been completely opened, and the sailors tried to push out the black muzzles inside, and the rumbling sound of the gun shafts rolling on the deck of the gun bay was like an unknown catalyst, and the entire fleet was in this semi-silent state, like a volcano that was accumulating strength, waiting for the moment when it erupted with all its might

The sword of the Imperial Navy is finally about to see blood! Tigger thought silently in his heart, slowly put down the binoculars with his hand, and looked at the city that was about to suffer a destructive blow with his naked eyes, and looked directly at it for 1 minute, as if saying goodbye to the tranquility in front of him, he took a slight breath, raised his head, looked at the unstoppable city starry sky filled with white fog in the distance, and said sharply, "Let's shoot!"

"Yes, fire!" The naval staff officer quickly turned around, and raised the lamp he was holding in his right hand to the flag bearer who was standing in the most conspicuous position on the bridge, everyone's breathing suddenly became nervous, the staff officer smiled slightly, the lamp was thrown high to the ground, and a bright arc was drawn in the air, falling towards the sea, like the arc of the mouth of the grim reaper's cold smile, at the same time, shooting such an order, and shouting from the mouth of the captains of the shelling of each ship at the same time

"Rumble... Rumble ......"

Rows of red points of light, with a spectacular momentum, suddenly erupted on the sea surface of Gangnon Kyoto, the dragon tooth battleships lined up first opened fire, and the side side of the ship suddenly seemed to put a bead cylinder, white gunsmoke, with the fire spraying, the hull was swayed from side to side by the impact of the reaction force, almost in an instant, the sea surface seemed to be boiled, and the entire fleet added up to more than three hundred thunder gods when they were launched together, like countless small suns rising from the dark sea,

"Look, what's that?"

On the lighthouse on the cliff wall on the side of the harbor, several non-naval sailors looked at the rather spectacular salvo on the sea below, and were dumbfounded, "It's so spectacular!" One sailor said sluggishly, "Which one of the giants is holding a celebration today?" The other sailor said with a puzzled look,

In the past, there have been some Kyoto wealthy families who used warships as the venue for banquets, if that was also spectacular, this time, these few non-sailors suddenly felt a kind of scalp tingling inexplicably, which is the natural reaction of people as creatures to danger,

They numbly and stiffly watched the bursts of fire and smoke emitted from the guns of the dragon tooth battleship on the sea, and then looked at the countless white lights with dull eyes, swept across the vast sea, and smashed towards the direction of the city with a louder and louder whistling sound, "boom" Countless fires exploded in the city area, a dense and huge explosion, directly rolling the object that hit a qiē into it,

Because it was a retaliatory operation, the target selected by the Tiggar fleet was the area with the most dense lights in the range, which was an aristocratic area, only to see the fierce fire and explosion directly covering half of the aristocratic area, most of the noble villas were a mixed structure of wood and stone, under the rapid flying Thor bomb, it was blown apart on the spot, becoming countless flying powder, and the huge air wave rolled up by the explosion also made the windows of nearby houses shattered by the impact, "This is ...... Enemy attack!" Several Gangfei sailors on the lighthouse were so frightened that they hurriedly shouted, representing the attack bell from the lighthouse, "What's the matter?" Linskele, who was sitting in the carriage, poked out half of his head from the carriage in confusion, the explosion just now, he thought it was just a muffled thunder flashing in the sky, in fact, except for the area where the explosion occurred, most of the Gangfei people did regard the shelling from the sea as the most common winter thunder in winter,

But his eyes were quickly flickered by the firelight from the direction of the port, like a hellish fire, densely falling on the mansion of the Stonger family that he was about to rush to, and in the firelight that attacked, he could faintly see that someone was blown into the air, and then fell far away, facing the violent explosion. And the wreckage of corpses that kept falling, "How is it possible, how can it be the Thor of the Falcon Navy!"

Linskell's pupils constricted violently, as the commander of the Navy who had fought against the Falcon Navy several times, this rumbling sound with the smell of death and ruin had already penetrated deep into his soul! (To be continued......
