The waves crash against the shallow beach, the white ice is washed up by the waves, and the white ice floes spread out on the edge of the island, like flowers blooming in summer, with a faint cool sea breeze, the dense harbor area, the warships are neatly arranged, and the towering masts have white winter birds rising and falling, "a beautiful view, which is difficult to see in the south"

Looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window, Roland Lefeble, commander of the Second Fleet of the Imperial Navy, turned around, with thick short hair, red wine in his hand, and a leisurely expression on his face, as if he was still intoxicated by the scenery outside.

Dark blonde hair, bright face, with the characteristic sharpness of a young man, "Forward! Forward!" was written on his unruly face.

"I regret the loss of the assault ship Marquise Ancarus!" said the young officer, who was the Admiral of the Third Assault Squadron and the commander of the Gang Fei Navy during that encounter, "What was the situation like? Specifically, I need to know every detail of this defeat."

Roland Lefebble looked solemnly out the window, took a sip of the wine in his hand, rubbed his fingers lightly against the smooth glass, and gestured to the adjutant at each end, who quickly sat down at his desk and put up the pen in his hand, obviously to record every sentence that followed

Rousseau Wandal straightened up a little nervously, and reported the battle situation of the day in a loud tone: "I ordered the fleet to quickly set up a battle formation, the other side obviously did not react, our army rushed into the enemy fleet by virtue of the superior position, and won the first battle, and the mistake also lies in this, I did not expect the Northwest Navy's reaction ability to be so fast! At that time, I only thought about quickly defeating them, so I ...... It happened so suddenly. However, his subordinates also believed that although we had lost one warship, we had also figured out the cards of the Northwest Navy, and the combat strength of this fleet was very strong! In the case of an equal number, our navy did not have the strength to confront it at all." "Are you saying that the Marquise of Ancarus was completely destroyed with just one face? Isn't this too exaggerated, you must know that the assault ship of the Marquise of Ancarus is a heavy-tonnage warship, has a complete defense, and has participated in six major naval battles, and has the most brilliant record. Once survived the siege of six enemy ships, the wound was only a broken mast, and this time, you told me that the entire ship was torn to shreds in just ten seconds, which is unbelievable!" Roland Lefebler turned brightly, his tone uncertain

Rousseau Wandal held his head high and said without fear, "Although I don't know what the other party's weapon is, at that moment, my subordinates thought that they were seeing a boiling sea" "Boiling sea?" Roland Lefebble frowned slightly

"Sudden appearance of white smoke. Like the roar of thunder, countless fires were like the legendary Thousand-Eyed Monster opening its eyes at the same time, a sight that would not have been seen with your own eyes. is absolutely unimaginable...... The Marquise of Ancarus was thus beaten into a hornet's nest, and if it had not been for the decisive order of the evacuation, I believe that no more than 500 people would have been able to return alive!" The attentive Roland Lefebble noticed a tremor in Rousseauwangka's voice, which was very rare in him. It also proves the truth of this statement

Rousseau Wandal, Admiral of the Third Assault Fleet of the Congolese Naval Fleet, adheres to the good Rousseau tradition. He has a tenacious and courageous style, has an unusually keen perception of naval operations, and is also the main advocate of taking this opportunity to promote the results of naval operations to the northwest seas.

Because of his handsome appearance and full of vitality, he has the title of "advancing battleship" in the Gangfei Navy.

Of course, this title is not used to address him to his face, after all, the Rousseau family has also served in the army for more than a hundred years, and has always had a very good reputation, in three consecutive generations, the Rousseau family has produced six army generals, two of which are participating in the southwest war personally formulated by the emperor Xià.

After five minutes of silence, Roland Lefebble took a deep breath, looked up and drank the wine in his hand, and looked at the adjutant at the other end who had just stopped recording, "Have you recorded everything?" "Yes, Commander!" The adjutant stood up straight, put down the pen in his hand, and nodded affirmatively, "Okay, this is the end of Yan Sù's investigation! You can send the transcript first! The emperor's investigator is still waiting outside." Roland Lefebble signed his name to the investigation report and waved to the adjutant, who left with the transcript

Roland Lefebble looked at Rousseau Wandal, who was a little blue-faced, and waved his hand, "Sit down, I know that such an inquiry is very unpleasant, but this is the meaning of His Majesty the Emperor, and the failure of this temptation may shake the whole plan of His Majesty the Emperor" "I also know that it sounds too incredible, but I am sure, and the more than a thousand sailors at that time can also testify, that I am not lying" Rousseau Wandal sat down and sighed in frustration, the battle of the day touched him greatly, the sharpness of the opponent's weapons was completely beyond his knowledge, in the face of such an enemy, he really did not know what tactics to use to meet the battle, and even several times in the middle of the night, he was awakened by the terrible sight that appeared in the dream like white eyes and thunder

"If there is no conclusive evidence to prove that the strategy of the navy advancing north and the army attacking the southwest army from the north to the south is not feasible, the emperor will not give up the original plan, and your majesty's stubbornness and toughness, you should be very clear! I hope what you said is true, otherwise, if you exaggerate the strength of the other party at will in order to shirk responsibility, even if you are surnamed Rousseau, your majesty the emperor will not be soft!" Roland Lefebble said slowly, as the commander of the fleet, he would not focus on the loss of a battleship,

What he wants to know more is the combat strength of the Northwest Navy, the cold weather makes the army's advance slow, coupled with the stubborn resistance of the Southwest Army, an old opponent, the emperor has just adjusted the combat strategy at the imperial meeting,

"If the army can't produce a breakthrough, then hand it over to the navy! If the southwest army is a stubborn stone, then we will kick it away from behind!" With his only remaining right palm, he hit the strategic map with force, and the aggressive gaze of Emperor François was like a lion who defied a qiē. Let every general who attended the meeting feel his determination to win,

François, who is 195 centimeters tall and weighs 99 kilograms, has a sturdy physique, and anyone who sees him will feel as if looking up at a giant steel tower, with no soft fat on his huge body, and his spirit is always that kind of hard work, in his eyes full of murderous intent and ambition. Any general will feel a chill, that is the momentum that makes all things worship, once someone that the new emperor of the Gallic Empire has compared with François, if the style of the Gallic emperor is a soft and meticulous icy ball of ice-cold water, François is definitely the one who can light a fire, this Emperor Gangfei wants to unify the ambition of Obarro, even the floating grass on the ground can be felt.

The young emperor, who had just succeeded to the throne for four years, had already established himself with his tough style. Even compared to the wise monarchs of the Gangfei Empire, this young emperor's appearance is remarkable, at the age of fifteen, as an illegitimate child of the royal family. As an officer of the capital garrison, he was first determined to rectify the internal discipline of the army, and completely eliminated alcohol, gambling, and even the royal family was implicated in the case. Therefore, the superior generals who can't afford to provoke him,

At the behest of some members of the royal family. He was secretly transferred to the Aladdin area as the commander of the garrison, this is a transfer with a malicious conspiracy, the Aladdin area is known as the "robbers' den" dangerous area, the barren mountain guide zhì bandits are rampant, generally treated as a repair opponent, although it is not said, but the transfer of this illegitimate son, revealing too much news, some people want to use the hand of external forces to never suffer from the future, François arrived on the first day, he was greeted by the bandits,

Thousands of robbers attacked the horse team and besieged the new military commander Françose, and although he finally fought off the bandits, François's left arm was also slashed in the chaos, and due to improper treatment and wound infection, he had to be amputated.

Emperor François only has one hand, and this is the reason why everyone thought that this reckless bastard son of the royal family would be bitter and chagrined, and he would transfer himself back from this dangerous zone with the relationship of the royal family, but no one expected that François, who had only one arm left, instead of crying his father and calling his mother to choose to return to Beijing, showed a tough and abnormal iron fist style,

He mobilized the garrison, wittily and mercilessly launched a fierce attack on the bandits in the jurisdiction, he mercilessly uprooted the bandit organization in collusion with the local aristocracy, and even more than 3,000 people who surrendered and awaited trial were also tied to a wooden frame and burned to death, and his cruel and ruthless approach to killing all attracted the fear of the bandits in the Aladdin area, for most of the Aladdinians, this young tyrant, the new hero with great spirit, soon won the favor of many people, and was immediately known as the "sword of Aladdin!"

At the age of twenty, François, who had already served as the governor of the Aladdin region, returned to Kyoto and was promoted to the rank of commander-in-chief of the imperial garrison, conferred the title of duke, and controlled one-third of the army of the Gang Fei Empire, at this time his identity as the illegitimate son of the royal family was made public, at the age of twenty-five, François had already established a solid prestige in the military, and in the last years of the former emperor, with the support of military forces, François publicly suppressed the rebellion of his two younger brothers in Kyoto, and brutally executed more than 9,000 people related to the two princes, clearing the way for his final ascension to the position of emperorAt the age of twenty-eight, François, who was at the peak of his body and energy, ascended to the throne of the emperor amid the cheers and attention of tens of thousands of people.

This is a strong and experienced young emperor,

The stalemate in the southwestern war situation did not hit François, and he quickly ordered the superior navy to move northward and find a point of force in the northwest region, thus forming a situation of attacking from both sides! Roland Lefebble, who had just returned from the Imperial Council, in accordance with the order of His Majesty the Emperor, selected an elite force from the fleet to form a northward expedition to explore the way to fight a forward battle for the main force of the fleet.

Roland Lefeble's eyes naturally fell on Rousseau Wandal, the admiral of the Third Assault Fleet who was close to him, and he did not expect that this temptation would end in such an ending, the sinking of the Marquise of Ancarus has become a laughing stock of the navy "If it is sunk in a fierce battle, then no one will say anything, but if it is sunk in a photo, no one can convince it!" Such a statement had already been circulated in the navy on this expedition to the north, and if it were not for the special relationship between the two sides, Roland Lefebble would have thought that Rousseau Vandal was lying in order to shirk the responsibility for the defeat.

The conceited Gangfei Navy does not yet know that a typhoon is approaching

At the beginning of February, the fat man personally visited Fort Julilsford, who was in a state of anxiety, and informed Fort Julilsford of the plan to send the Navy to assist in the battle: "Really? If the Northwest Navy is willing to participate in the war, I can do my best to help!" The haggard look of Fort Julilsford suddenly shook his spirits, and the bitter battle that lasted for a month had already made him lose a lot of weight, and his temples appeared white, and the bloody battle of tens of thousands of troops,

Although relying on the cold winter and geographical advantages. barely slowed down the strong advance of the Imperial Army, but the long and harsh winter is about to go away, and the pace of spring is becoming clearer and clearer.

This morning. Fort Julilsford looked at the dots of green on an elm tree outside the window, and stood and watched for ten minutes, for ordinary people, this is the message of spring, the beginning of the recovery of all things, and for Fort Julilsfort and tens of thousands of Southwestern troops. This is the footsteps of death,

The Southwestern Army's battle losses are also expanding, and just this morning, Fort Julilsford silently pressed three reports for help on his desk. Two of the barriers have fallen, only one is still holding out, and the Southwestern Army has reached the point where there are no reinforcements to send.

The arrival of the fat man brought him a glimmer of light. He is now in absolute trust in the fat man, and it is true that part of the duty of the body imperial soldier is at fault for guarding the southwest, and there is also a part. It is also because he knows that the southwest is lost, and the northwest will also be difficult to preserve, this is selfishness and public heart, the Gallic emperor obviously grasped his point, and will hand over the military power of the southwest to him at the moment of danger, there are people from the Julils family in the imperial capital, and the Gallic emperor will not be afraid that he will go to Gotou to the Gangfei people before the battle. "I need absolute control of the Southwest Navy!" The fat man bluntly put forward his own conditions, it is absolutely impossible to work in vain,

Although the Southwest Combined Fleet suffered heavy losses from itself, but it was a combat ship, and a large number of logistics supply ships have been blocked in the military port by the Congo African Navy, according to the fat man's understanding, the number of these logistics ships is very large, only 112 transport ships, and almost equal to one-third of their own Navy logistics transport ships, as well as a large number of large docks for supply and repair, it is simply a coveted wealth, the southwest as the first line of the Gallic Empire against the Congo African Empire, has never been stingy in preparing in this regard。 "No problem, I can give you everything related to the navy" Julils Fort smiled at the corner of his mouth, like a fox seeing a fat chicken, "Is this an old fox? It's too simple" The fat man almost thought that the other party was a fake, so refreshing, it was definitely not the style of the old fox,

"But you also have to give me something else in exchange!" The old fox changed his words, and immediately showed his true colors, and he was really not a vegetarian, and he was really risky with the tiger, and the fat man was beating the drum in his heart

The corner of Juliersford's mouth smiled: "I am now desperately short of troops, don't you still have my 40,000 southwest army? You see that your road has also been built, the infrastructure is almost complete, and what you still have is the burden of eating, so give it all to me!" "I'll rub it, that's 40,000 strong laborers!" The fat man shuddered, his eyes bulged, and he immediately felt ashamed of his simplicity, 40,000 people, this old man is not ashamed and can really open his mouth! 40,000 strong laborers, how much does that have to be!" If the southwest collapses, I believe that the northwest will also fall into a predicament! Besides, you won't really sit idly by and watch the southwest fall! This will not be good for you" Julilsfort patted the fat man's shoulder helplessly, like an old rascal who had just finished smoking second-hand smoke, comforting the juniors who were still picking up cigarette butts, "If you look at the current situation, you and I are grasshoppers on the same rope, and no one can escape, so handing over these prisoners to me is actually fighting for the northwest!" "Forty thousand prisoners are at least worth the price of two cities!" The fat man gritted his teeth and raised two fingers, "I'll give you the captive, and you give me the two cities of Valpale and Fernand on the southwest and northwest borders!" "You really dare to open your mouth, Valpale and Fernand are the most important areas on the sideline! With these two pillars, it is equivalent to opening the door to the southwest!" Julilsfort looked at the fat man's finger uncompromisingly, "Whether the southwest can be kept or not," the fat man said disapprehantly. Don't say that you don't know your emperor's mind, he is actually only weakening your and my power with the help of inhuman power, if the southwest falls, he will definitely slaughter the entire Julils family immediately" "It turns out, you have seen it!" Julilsford's body shook slightly, and he looked much older, "Nonsense, this method of using the enemy to eliminate the opponent is really too clumsy" The fat man took a deep breath, looked out the window, and said slowly" Even if you take over the southwest and repel the Gangnones, I can guarantee that the first order of the Gallic Emperor will definitely be to dismiss you from your post and then use an idle post with no real power to trap you! Even the Slavs are in civil strife, he can resist sending you, but it is conceivable that his hatred for you is not ordinarily great, to be honest, I still don't know what you provoked your emperor!"

"It's not that Theresa caused the trouble at the beginning!" Julilsfordburg blushed slightly, gritting his teeth and said, "Although I can't say the specific situation at the beginning, it is definitely quite a serious injury!"

"What kind of Cheng dù is it?" the fat man looked curious, and there was even something that the old rascal was ashamed of

"She deposed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at the time!" Julils Fort spat out this sentence, and his whole spirit seemed to be a little decadent, "That is to say, His Majesty the Emperor is unable to have a woman, and there are no heirs to this day, in fact, it is all Trisa's fault!"

"I'm rubbing, this hatred is boundless!" The fat man was scorched by the news, as a man, he was still the master of an empire, and he was able to endure it for so long, no wonder he felt that the style of the Gallic emperor was a bit similar to a pervert (to be continued......
