1910 Who's the Bait (1)

The white surrender flag, which hung boringly at the top of the tower at the highest point of the calm Barola port, represented that the city had changed hands, and the transport ships full of soldiers entered the port under the escort of thirty dragon's tooth warships and took over the facilities of the port, so the port soldiers were concentrated, and when they found that the resistance was hopeless, the Marquis of Palus, the supreme head of the city, chose to surrender, stopped the imperial fleet on the sea and put up momentum, and quickly sent marine infantry to take over the city, suppress the chaos in the city because of the riots, and control the whole city, and when it was calmed down, it was already afternoon,

The Marquis of Pallouse, who was waiting for the delivery, was half-squatting in the office where he was being held, took out some letters with a calm face, and cautiously threw them into the stove in front of him, watching the letters quickly turn black, crack, and turn gray under the high temperature of the flames, and Palouse's eyes revealed a trace of relaxation.

These letters are all private letters, and the valuable Wen Jiàn has long been taken away by the Falcon Army,

The other party asked for information about the city port, and Pardus had prepared it in advance, and the other party really didn't value the personal letters in the office drawer, and Pardus was glad about this.

The Imperial Military Affairs Department has already sealed the affairs of the Imperial Navy, so there has been no substantive secret document issued for a long time, but the private messages of some colleagues who are still working hard for the restoration of the Imperial Navy can reflect the movements of the Gang Fei Navy that still did not choose to give up under the ice!

For example, in one of the recent letters, his colleague excitedly mentioned that the Sea of Strands would assist the Reich Navy in rebuilding it, and also proposed in more detail the steps for the reconstruction, and the Sea of Strands first allocated thirty large warships to the Empire as a basis. Within one to two years, the Imperial Navy could be assisted by the Inland Sea States in the Inland Sea area controlled by the Strants, and in order to avoid the raids of the Falcon Empire, 110 warships of the Empire would be delivered to these Inland Sea States for construction, involving up to 17 million. This is also an order that cannot be refused by other inland sea countries, which is also one of the willingness of inland sea countries to suddenly change their attitude, although the prospects for trade with the Falcon Empire are good, but it is not better to be able to get money directly, and there is no need to offend the Inland Sea overlord Aliens, as for who wins the final victory in this war, it will not have a great impact on the inland sea countries,

Throwing the last letter in his hand into the fire, Paluse breathed a sigh of relief and stood up calmly. I tidied up and down the navy uniform on my body, my expression was extremely strict, and my body of more than half a hundred years old made a naval salute slightly towards the burning furnace, and I may have saluted as a non-naval officer for the last time.

The brutality of the Falcon Empire was famous, and it was heard that most of the officers who were caught would be executed

"I hope they can keep their promises, and they can basically do what they promised" He promised to surrender on the demand of preserving the city, and the other party happily agreed, and the number of troops entering the city was not large. There were about four thousand people, there was no sign of riots, and the reputation that he had cherished all his life was ruined, but the base camp of the Imperial Navy was preserved.

Harbor, dockyard. Shipyard, Pardus's eyes lit up when he thought of this.

As long as these are still there, there is hope for the Imperial Navy, only hope that one day. The flag of the Imperial Navy will be raised from here, and at that time, even if you can't see it, you will smile!

The last salute is to the country that has suffered a lot of disasters, the young and tenacious little emperor, the colleagues who are still working hard in the predicament, and the imperial navy waiting for the flame to be reborn in the dark!

"Tata!" came a stumbling sound of footsteps outside. A Falcon Navy officer with a group of soldiers pushed his door open

"Is it Lord Palouse?" the young officer looked at him, his face unfriendly

"Yes, I'm Palus!" Palus, looking at all the letters burned to ashes, made the last preparations, turned around and nodded,

"Who are you?" the officer looked at the flames in the furnace with cold eyes, and frowned slightly,

"Some personal letters!" Pardus didn't blink an eye,

"This is suspected of violating the rules!Your Excellency!" the young officer's tone was a little angry, and he finally chose to remain silent about the negligence of the previous search, hoping that this was some ordinary letter! The young officer retracted his gaze and waved his hand behind him, "Come on, please come with us!"

"Where to go, if it is an execution, it will not be so troublesome, just solve it here!" Palouse quietly added a few more dry firewood to the fireplace, patted the ashes on his body, and it was very good, it was all burned out, and he could go on his road with peace of mind!

"Executions? We don't have such a tradition! It's someone up there who wants to see you!"

The Falcon Navy officer was not interested in Palus's indifference, he made a gesture, and the soldiers behind him immediately came over murderously, escorted by more than a dozen Falcon Empire soldiers, Palus walked to the huge group of ships docked in the port, the entire port was lined up with soldiers, wearing black armor, carrying the rumored curved crossbow on their backs, barrels filled with water, grain, vegetables, and were hoisted from the port warehouse to the deck of the ship from the harbor warehouse, and the number of ships entering the port was as high as more than 50, and on the sea, there were still some Falcon Empire warships that did not move,

"O my port of Barola, your enemies are plundering!"

Paldus's face became very solemn, such a number of ships must be the main naval force of the Falcon Empire, according to the Aliens' understanding of this sea area, it is impossible to be completely unaware of this, but from beginning to end, the Alien Navy seems to have evaporated from the world, why is this happening? Could it be that the entire southern coast of Gangfei has become a strategic outcast? But this is Barola, with enough supplies and equipment to support the enemy to continue to advance north, the Falcon Empire has obtained this, which is equivalent to opening the door to the southern coast of Gangfei, which is really hateful, what are the Aliens planning?"

At this moment, the person in front suddenly stopped, and the escorting officer saluted another officer in front who seemed to be of a higher status, "My lord." People brought!"

"Well, it's hard work, you guys go down!" the officer nodded.

At the stage of the giant dragon-class battleship, a falcon-looking naval officer took over the task of escorting Palus, leading four guards all the way to the upper deck of the battleship, where General Paluska, a young man in the uniform of a Falcon Imperial admiral, was talking to an adjutant beside him.

The young man was very handsome, and the black straight navy uniform was worn on the young man, with both an aristocratic temperament and a fierceness that belonged to the tempering of the perennial sea life, this was the Commander-in-Chief of the Falcon Empire Navy, Dustrengke! Palus's pupils constricted unnaturally, as a high-ranking officer of the Gang Non-Navy. How could you forget this enemy naval commander who cut off the strength of the entire Gangfei Navy and plunged into the boundless hell with one blow,

The Imperial North Sea Navy was almost completely wiped out in his hands, and the Imperial Southern Navy lost three-quarters of the battle in his hands, and the brilliant results were unbelievable, only thirty years old, and he was already the number one navy in the name, and in the opponents of the Falcon Empire Navy, this good-looking young man had a nickname that made people smell and change

"Naval Slayer Dustrenkay!"

It is said that the number of warships destroyed in his hands exceeded a thousand!

Even the old man like Pardus felt horror, what a concept, a battleship armed to the teeth, not a sampan with sailors but thirty years of sea. It is not a large merchant ship of 50 people, it is a warship, and no country will be stingy to stuff people on it, even if it is calculated according to the full strength of the smallest assault ship of 120 people. 1,000 ships is 120,000 people!

In front of him, it was such a demon who sent 120,000 unjust souls into the depths of the sea, and the corners of Pardus raised his eyebrows. Bad premonition, this demon wants to see me?, trying to suppress the confusion in his heart, he saw a young man in a black uniform walking towards him, beads of sweat appeared on Palus's forehead,

"Your Excellency is the guardian of Barola?"

Dustrunkai stopped, looked his eyes up and down, stretched out a hand to him, and said in a condensed voice, "I know that the decision to surrender is difficult, Your Excellency's courage in making sacrifices to protect the city and its inhabitants is admirable, I am glad that we can have the same idea, our goal is to occupy the southern coast, not to destroy, and bombarding Barola is not in line with our combat goals! Slaughtering civilians is not our habit either!" Slaughtering civilians is not customary, what an interesting rhetoric, and hearing Your Excellency say this, tens of thousands of unjust souls in Kyoto who died under the bombardment of your fleet last year will also cry!" Pardus rolled his eyes disdainfully, and said with a calm face

"Presumptuous! Speak in such a tone, are you looking for death?" The officer standing behind angrily pulled out the cold sword at his waist, and the cold and piercing blade was placed on Palus's neck, and as long as Dustrenkai gave him a look, Palus's head would be detached from his body

"Do it, I don't want to live for a long time!"

Palouse didn't know where the courage came from, his eyes widened angrily, as a member of the Imperial Navy, looking at the Navy that had almost been removed, no one's heart would feel good, when the Southern Navy of the Empire was ordered to go north, the sails of the battleships covered the sky, and the young fleet admirals were so high-spirited,

Parus was left behind in the base camp because he was too old and unwell, and the other admirals were full of various longings for the north, at the banquet before the departure of the fleet, thousands of people raised their glasses neatly, singing the Gangfei naval song "Son of the Waves" sonic boom to the top of the hall, the aftermath of the battle in the waters of Kyoto, the southern navy was unfavorable, and it was defeated again and again, so that even the imperial Kyoto was poisoned by the enemy fleet, and the entire imperial navy became a laughing stock,

Those cheerful faces have sunk into the depths of the sea, sleeping with their beloved warships, never to come back,

The death of tens of thousands of elite navy not only made the navy exist in name only, but also left the city full of crying women, children, old and young, the empire gave up the navy, and also gave up Barola, only old people like Parus are still holding on! The days of the past are like smoke, and you can only see you again when you dream back at midnight, the empire issued a sea closure order, and the once prosperous port has gradually become a few ships, and the sea of cruising warships has become a world of fishing boats, and Pardus sometimes really wishes that he would die overnight, die in that dream, and never wake up, if he really dies, Pardus will really die with a smile, die in the base camp of the navy, die in the place where he dreams of his colleagues

"What are you doing, put away your weapons!" Dustrunkay's mild-faced officer waved his hand, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "War is like this, and sometimes it is a last resort! Your Excellency is indeed a strong man. We have invited you here because of one thing, we have just arrived on the southern coast of Congo, and there are many misunderstandings about us here, and we think that Your Excellency has been guarding the port of Barola for a long time, and if you change it temporarily, it will cause unnecessary panic, and what we need is a stable port of Barola, and this can only be done by Your Excellency."

"Of course, you can refuse. In that case, we will only have to take other measures!" Dustrunkai said with a slightly cold face, "We are soldiers, and if necessary, we can only use military means to solve this problem, and I believe that Your Excellency does not want to see this!"

"You demon!"

Pardus's eyes were fine bloodshots, staring at Dustronike in front of him, his hands clenched into fists, and his angry body trembled,

Choosing to surrender by yourself is already a loss of reputation. If you help the Falcon Empire to manage Barola, you will be a traitor in the name of it!

But the situation in front of him made it impossible for him to refuse, the other party's words were not empty threats, and rumors of the brutality of the Falcon Empire were not uncommon in Obarro. It is said that in the north of Obaro, the Gallic Empire under the iron heel of the Falcon Empire was slaughtered by tens of millions of people in order to absolutely control the city. The other party will definitely use violent means,

As a last resort, Palus agreed. The first step towards the fall,

Ordering the fierce Admiral of the Congo to be sent off, Dustrenkai lingered on the deck for a while before returning to his lounge,

Rubbing his swollen temples with both hands, leaning on the bench with his body relaxed, closing his eyes, his ears were filled with the sound of the sea lapping on the side of the ship, for this strong attack, the Imperial Navy set out from Lomba Island, secretly traveled north for nearly a hundred miles, and only then reached the outside of Port Barola in a vertical line, and the battle was quite successful, and it took no effort to obtain the control of the city.

Of course, the pirate leader who surrendered contributed a lot, it was the pirate leader who provided the quickest route, and it was also the pirate leader who detailed the weakness of the defense of the port of Barola, the defender of Barola was the Marquis of Palus, who was not in the navy, an overly cautious and sentimental old man, lacking decisiveness, too emotional, and the garrison fleet only had a dozen small warships, but it was still in disrepair for a long time, and the ships were full of holes, but the other party's dock facilities were quite complete, as the base camp of the former Gangnon-Southern Navy, those idle docks only need to tear off the seals to be able to be used immediately, if a certain pressure is applied, according to the character of the other party, will definitely choose to surrender...... The success of Barola's surprise attack proved the value of this pirate leader, and there was no longer a captain of the naval detachment who was dissatisfied with the value he valued this pirate leader.

Then, the next step can be implemented! Who is the fish, who is the bait? It will soon be clear. Dustrunkai got up from his chair, opened the drawer on the table, swept his gaze over the secret letter inside, hesitated for a moment, and shouted out the door, "Someone!"

"Commander," an attendant pushed the door open from the outside

20 miles outside the port of Barola at night

A small assault ship with round sails is cautiously turning out of the side of an island, the bow of the assault ship is the statue of the goddess of the sea, and a young man with a hood is standing there, holding a long tubular second-generation goggle in his hand, looking in the direction of the port of Barola in the distance.

"Wow"

The bow of the ship was squeezed on the water, like a sharp blade cutting, the white waves rolled to the sides, the sails of the assault ship were lowered, the speed was not fast, almost gliding on the sea, silent, the whole assault ship had no lights, the side decks outside were all dyed black, on the dark sea, it was like an imperceptible dark ghost, even if it entered the range of 50 meters, it may not be able to see

"Captain, this thing from the Falcon Navy can really see Barola 20 miles away at a glance?" a sailor asked curiously to the young man holding a lookout in front of him

"You know what, what is this thing, this is a lookout glass! A treasure that can't be bought on the black market! Even in the navy of the Falcon Empire, only high-ranking officers above the commander of the detachment fleet have it." The young man put down the lookout with a dissatisfied look, the surface of the lookout in his hand is complicated decorations, and there are golden gilts in some places, which seem to be far better than combat equipment as an ornament, in fact, this is indeed an ornament, when the Falcon Empire and the Alien Sea Country were in alliance, at the request of the Alien Sea State, three second-generation lookscopes were sent to the Aliens, and the Aliens used these three lookscopes as the highest level of combat equipment,

"Captain, look, there seems to be light somewhere"

The sailor suddenly pointed to the dark and secluded sea in the distance and shouted, it was the direction of Barola, sure enough, there were a few faint bright spots, the young man hurriedly raised the lookout goggles, and looked in the direction of the sailor's fingers, three fires with the words of the character, the fire only lasted less than ten minutes, and then quickly extinguished

"Set sail, we can go back, the Falcon Navy has arrived in Barola, and it will soon go north, they will definitely not think that everything is in our hands" The young man put down the lookout scope in his hand, and smashed his mouth with a cunning light in his eyes (to be continued......
