1717 Gallic Tragedy IV

Port of La Aroupe

Teagar's fleet entered the narrow harbor, the battleship swayed its body and slowly landed on the shore, the huge hull squeezed into the channel, making a creaking friction sound, everyone felt a vibration under their feet, the battleship stopped steadily, the heavy iron anchor fell from a high place into the sea, stirring up more than ten meters of waves, the sails descended from the mast, like a cluster of white clouds stacked down from the sky, the sailors of the fleet rushed to the ground from the deck excitedly, the direction they first ran must be the direction of the tavern, only the best spirits can make them disappear because of the fatigue brought by the long voyage, after a frenzied night, From a soldier of the empire to an ordinary person in daily life, until the fleet left the port again, the port was full of people, and the noisy voices of people drifted over with the wind at once, and a large number of goods were piled up on the port "Captain, the fleet of the navy has arrived at the port!"

At the entrance of the port, a guard pushed open the door of the duty room, there were several people sitting inside, and a young officer in the costume of the captain of the Imperial Guards squadron stood up from the inside, stood at the window and looked at the port docking area, the naval warships docked this time were a total of six warships, which were completely consistent with the intelligence, among which the huge size of the dragon-class battleship was very conspicuous in the relatively low dragon tooth battleship group,

"Alright, we've finally arrived!" the young officer said happily, leading a few subordinates to walk up the steps of the sentry booth, and walked towards the dock of the fleet, the vigorous steps with a unique rhythm in the dock of the fleet, the young man looked left and right, and finally stopped in front of the dragon-class flagship, he saw a middle-aged man wearing the uniform of the imperial admiral walking over from the towering deck of the dragon-class battleship to the ground, with a delicate face, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, looking polite, and holding a stack of drawings between his arms. He was talking to a uniformed naval staff officer, and he could vaguely mention these things like that!, "Is it a civilian in the fleet?"

The young guard officer hesitated, and the admiral's uniform on the other party also showed that the identity of this civilian was not simple, or it was the person who needed to be found, the young officer boldly stopped in front and asked cautiously, "Excuse me, can this adult know Commander Tigger!" The polite middle-aged admiral was unexpectedly stunned for a moment, his eyes stopped on the other party's guard clothes, and then he nodded, "I am Tigal, I don't know who Your Excellency is?" Unexpectedly, this middle-aged man was really the fleet commander Tigal, and hurriedly said, "I'm Flint of the seventh team directly under His Majesty's team, and I've been waiting here for two days on the orders of His Majesty!, His Majesty has an order, if Commander Tigger arrives at the port, I ask you to go and see him directly! Please come with us! The carriage has been prepared outside" The young guard officer made a gesture of please, "Go directly to see Your Majesty!" Okay, I understand!" Teagar nodded calmly, and carefully looked at the young man's guard costume to confirm that there was no problem. Following the Guards officer out of the harbor, a black carriage was quietly parked, and the sun shone on it, dragging a long black shadow. Through the curtain of the carriage, it seemed that someone could be seen inside, and with a little confusion, Tigger opened the door a little nervously. Unexpectedly, I saw the person sitting in the carriage, it was the Imperial Navy Minister Dustrunkai, "Great ...... Your Excellency!" Tigger saw his immediate superior. His face was slightly pale, startled, and he hurriedly stood up and saluted.

"You're welcome, come up, I'm only here today! I expected you to arrive today, but I didn't expect to guess it, but Your Majesty designated me to pick you up in person!" Dustrunkai waved his hand to this subordinate with a pleasant face, and the discovery of the new sea path made the admiral also look very excited, because it meant that the Imperial Navy still had a broader road to go, and it was such an exciting sight to control the Obaro Inland Sea and let the Imperial Navy flag fly in every corner of the Obaro Inland Sea

"Don't dare!" Tigger walked into the carriage with a respectful expression, sat down opposite Dustrunkai, put his hands on his knees, and looked stern, and he didn't dare to breathe, in the Imperial Navy world, the prestige of the Admiral Dustrunkai was second only to His Majesty the Imperial God of War Falcon Xià, the commander of the Imperial Navy, who was only less than thirty years old, was called the "Imperial Sea Whale" by the enemy It is to describe that as long as there is him in the sea area, it must be stormy waves, a series of brilliant achievements are enough to prove that this man is a genius of the navy, starting with the original twelve dragon tooth warships, the imperial navy in just five years, from a regional navy to a super navy across the sea areas of two continents, breaking the Gallic navy, destroying the Congo Navy, hundreds of warships of the general battle, showing amazing command ability and determination,

With the strength of one person alone, this sea whale made the navies of the two empires exhausted, was cut off one by one, and finally ended up in ashes, this man is the legend of the imperial navy, is a mountain that makes people feel suffocated when they look up, even Tigal, the upstart of the imperial navy, does not dare to have a little presumptuous behavior in front of this imperial minister

As if he found that the atmosphere in the carriage was too strict, Dustrenkai raised his head, looked at the nervous Tiggal opposite with a deep gaze, and said with a smile, "I finally returned to the sea, but was asked to return to the base camp, but turned directly to the port of La Aroup in the north-central part of Putao."

"Let the adults laugh!" Teagar looked embarrassed, and quickly wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead with his hand, and said in an excited tone, "The subordinates are a little nervous, but not resentful, but excited!" Although I don't know the reason for the adult's order, but the subordinates can also faintly feel that this should be related to the Aliens saved by the subordinates, but the subordinates didn't expect that the reply waiting for me here would be the adults themselves, so it's no wonder that the Admiralty didn't explain the reason, because the adults are the "sea whales" The appearance of this operation is enough to show that this operation is extraordinary!"

Dustrenkai was surprised by such an answer, his eyes suddenly became sharp as a knife, and he drifted from the opposite side, turned to the street outside the window, and said, "Don't be so nervous, you are also the commander of my Imperial Navy's fleet in charge of the southern seas, wipe the sweat from your forehead, if this is the appearance of the Falcon Majesty." I'm afraid I'm going to laugh at the generals of my navy, and I lack the courage of an army general!" Dustrenkai tapped his fingers on the table and said slowly, "Although I know that you are blind, congratulations, you are blind this time" "Really, the Empire has a new naval plan!" "Teagar's eyes lit up and his expression was excited, "Originally, I thought that His Majesty was going to see me, and he should just ask about Gibroro Sea, but my lord is here, which is enough to show that it is not so simple." His subordinates dared to guess that the Empire was going to march into the Gibro Sea! As long as His Majesty gave an order, his subordinates were willing to lead the Southern Fleet to open this gate for His Majesty!"

"Open this door?"

Dustrunkai smiled slightly when he heard this, glanced at him with a flickering eye, and said in a deep voice, "You did guess part of it, but it was only a part, what is it to open the door, what Your Majesty wants is the world behind this gate, you know!

This is an opportunity for the Empire. It's also your chance, Your Majesty for this discovery," Dustrenkai looked at the stunned Tigger and suddenly asked meaningfully, "I heard that you saved a high-ranking nobleman of the Strants this time." I don't know if it's true!"

"It's a woman named Angelie, who is said to be a member of the royal family of the Strands, and her father is a prince!" Teagar came back to his senses and hesitated. He hurriedly replied, "The Aliens are the maritime overlords of the Inland Sea region, and if they can become the help of the Empire, it will be important for the Imperial Navy to infiltrate the Inland Sea." It can reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble, but the Aliens don't seem to be so easy to ally with, it's just that for them who dominate the Inland Sea, we who control the Outer Sea region are not necessarily friends!" "You're right, the Aliens won't treat us as friends!" But it doesn't have to be mortal enemies, it's still difficult to find a breakthrough, but you accidentally saved the Aliens this time, so that Your Majesty can see a glimmer of hope" Dustrenkai nodded, and said in a solemn tone" You may not know it yet, the Empire has lifted the restrictions on the armed merchant fleet, and soon, your southern seas will become a key assembly area for the Imperial armed merchant fleet, and before that, the Admiralty wants your Southern Navy to fully control the Gibro Sea Road!"

Dustrenkay's voice stopped, and he continued, "This task is very difficult, you should have confidence in yourself," There are only two local fleets in the Imperial Navy that are currently officially established, one is Urcondo's North Sea Fleet, and the other is you, Urcondo, that grass person who has never even seen the sea, when he was appointed as the commander of the North Sea Fleet by His Majesty Falcon, no one in the entire Imperial Navy was optimistic, even a naval commander like me, who considered himself experienced, thought that such an appointment was too funny"As it turned out, His Majesty Falcon's gaze was never wrong, and as a steppe man who had never even seen the sea, Urcondo did more than anyone could have imagined."

Dustrunkai took a deep breath, sighed with some emotion, and pondered deeply, he didn't value the establishment of the North Sea Fleet at the beginning, and intervened in the battle for hegemony in the North Sea with more than a dozen old-fashioned warships under extremely dangerous circumstances, no matter how you look at it, it was a dead end, but with extraordinary courage and resourcefulness, in addition to the assistance of the Imperial Navy, he defeated Austin's main naval force in one fell swoop

Now two years have passed, the Northern Fleet has grown from no more than 1,000 sailors and less than 20 warships to 6,000 sailors, more than 100 combat ships of all kinds, and the operational army that can be mobilized has also reached a strong military cluster of 11,000 people

His Majesty has appointed you commander of the second local fleet, and I am sure you will be able to do just as well!Dustrenkai said, the two of them suddenly felt a shock of the carriage, only to realize that before they knew it, the carriage had already driven into a courtyard, stopped in front of a three-story villa, and a guard in black armor walked down the steps, gently opened the door of the carriage, and the light lit up,

Tigger stood up with a solemn face, he knew that he was already standing at the door of the glorious step, Tigger looked at his commander "My lord, can you tell me what to do" "I can't guide you more, because I don't know either!" Dustrenkai shook his head in the carriage, and finally said with a bit of self-deprecation, "If you have to say it, it is like what His Majesty said to Urcondo at the beginning! ”

Leaving the carriage and walking up the steps, Tigger met His Majesty the Falcon on the second floor of the villa, who was reviewing a copy of the text

"Your Majesty!" Tigger saluted nervously, as a middle-level officer, he had the first opportunity to face this Imperial Supreme alone, and an invisible coercion flowed from this Imperial Supreme Being. The body was tense and straight, and even his breathing seemed a lot heavier, he felt that the eyes of the Falcon Majesty were as bright as the black starry sky but so clear, and the eyes revealed a far-reaching wit, just at a glance, it seemed that there was nothing to hide, the breath of the king, which made people completely unable to raise the mind to resist,

"Sit down, don't be too inhibited. I'm looking for you this time, most of Dustrunkai should have already talked to you, I'm not going to talk nonsense, I want to ask you, what do you think of the strength of the Fetzer Navy!" The fat man gestured to him

"It's average, not even as good as the Gang Fei Navy!" Teagar thought for a moment, and gave a more pertinent assessment of the entire course of the battle with the Faeser Navy that day. He even said, "If it weren't for the heavy damage suffered by our army in the Gangfei Navy, the war of the Gangfei Empire against Feizer would definitely not stop at the strait."

"Well, it seems that some rumors are also possible!"

The fat man nodded. Ever since he began to pay attention to the Gibro Sea Road, he had begun to pay attention to the Fei Ze on the other side of the Sea Road, and the Fei Ze Kingdom was not very large, with a population of about 10 million. It is a big country, the army is strong, but the strength of the navy is not strong. But it is not very weak, the Gibro Sea Road controlled by Fetzer is a key area in the entire southern Obaron Inland Sea region, so the reasons for the failure of the battle of the Gangfei Conquest of the South are too complicated, and even the Alien Strait, which was still assisting the Gangfei people at the beginning, could not resist the pressure from all parties in the Inland Sea region and chose to retreat halfway.

So the luck of Emperor Gangfei is really bad, he was overwhelmed by the Falcon Empire in the north, and the Putao, who had been suppressed, actually raised his head again, and there was a clown named Duke Putao where was he jumping around, and in the south, Fei Ze, whose strength was far inferior to his own, dared to rob his own woman,

A large-scale battle of the southern expedition of the imperial driver, but under the pressure of all parties, it became a joke.

When he came to his senses, the entire Central Europe Baro would not sit idly by and watch the Golden Sea Road Control zhì in the hands of a country in Gangfei, so he was very helpless and angry to lead the army north, ready to save the already very bad reputation of the Gangfei Empire, but encountered an assassination from his most trusted guard, and the life course of a generation of emperors came to an end, and Gangfei's national fortune was cut off with a knife.

"Well, I heard that you captured a naval officer from Fetzer and handed him over to the Ministry of Supervision! As for the Aliens, someone will contact them, let the fleet rest during this time, and there will be a new mission for you!"

The fat man took out a copy of Wen Jiàn from the table, with the words Top Secret written on it, this is the real core of the Imperial Sea Strategy, and he handed the Wen Jiàn to Tigal, who was still stunned, "Take a look at this Wen Jiàn! This is the latest plan of the Imperial Navy, as the head of the Imperial Navy who is about to take control of the Gibro Sea Road, you need to understand it in advance! and prepare for this war"

"Preparation for war...... This is?" Teagar took the text, opened it and glanced at it, his eyes flashed with a hint of shock, and he couldn't even believe it, this ...... This is...... Teagar saw his gaze burst out, his eyes couldn't take his eyes off it, and the hand holding Wen Jiàn trembled slightly, as if he was holding not Wen Jiàn but a red-hot soldering iron in his hand, "Your Majesty, is this true?" Teagar had an unconcealable excitement on his face

"That's right, although I don't know what the future holds, but this can at least allow us to win a war in the Inland Sea!" the fat man nodded solemnly, as the drafter of this article, he knew better that this article could bring huge consequences, which was not weaker than a huge earthquake at all

The first page of the text says that the Imperial privateering fleet implements the strategy "In this text, the Empire will once again release the configuration of armed merchant ships for privateering, and all armed merchant fleets belonging to the Empire can obtain privateer licenses issued by the Empire as long as they apply to the Imperial Admiralty.

With this evidence, armed merchant ships had the right to attack, plunder, and even destroy the enemy ships of the Empire.

It is conceivable that the number of armed merchant ships of the empire will increase dramatically along with this policy, and tens of thousands of armed merchant ships will pour into the inland sea of the Gibro Sea Road." It is impossible to describe it in words...... "even Tiggall did not dare to imagine what kind of scene it was", it is no wonder that even Lord Dustrunkay, who has experienced countless brutal naval battles, can only say the words with all the courage and ambition of the Imperial Navy!

It's really impossible to describe" Tigger took a deep breath, and the look on Dustrenkai's face flashed in his mind when he walked out of the carriage, and the vague language "Indeed, compared to His Majesty's plan, what he and Lord Dustrenkai saw was still too superficial, and the super battlefield of tens of thousands of warships was really a big deal that only His Majesty the Falcon could have, (to be continued......)
