Volume II Southern Beacon 1231 The Perplexities of Smith

In the southern part of Salander, a white line appeared on the calm sea, and behind the tumbling waves, the returning Fourth Squadron and the Third Squadron with only one Dragon-class and one Dragon's Tooth ship left appeared on the sea, "It's finally back!" The commander of the Third Fleet, Edenger, looked at the familiar military port in the distance with complicated eyes, and his fingers clenched tightly on the side of the battleship, "How are you going to state this loss to Lord Dustrenkai this time when you return to port?" The commander of the Fourth Fleet, Tigarh, stood beside him and asked with some concern,

He and Si Effinger were both officers of the Central Army, and the two had a very good relationship in private.

This correct mention allowed two outstanding middle-level officers to successfully avoid the rising barrier of the army's generals, and in just half a year, they became the commanders of the detachment respectively by virtue of their background in the Central Army and their own ability.

Although it is a navy, in terms of rank and position, it even surpasses the general flag commander, and with a series of battles such as the Battle of Nord and the Battle of Salander, the navy's awareness of the maritime attack line, which has a vital impact on the imperial strategy, has been deeply engraved in the minds of the imperial world. "As a soldier, no matter what the victory or defeat is, it is natural to report it truthfully!" Si Effinger stared at the sea in the distance, and said calmly, "I have already sent a warship to report this matter in advance, and such a big loss is not something that can be concealed in the past.

I only hope that the 1,100 sailors who died in the battle will be treated with the honor and treatment they deserve, they are real navy, and even if they hold out until the last moment, they have no intention of fleeing or giving up on holding on!

It was my flagship that dragged them down, and it was entirely possible for them to evacuate in terms of mobility alone, and my personal glory was no longer important compared to the glory they deserved!" "If I am executed for this, I hope my little Si Ai ......" Si Finger's voice stopped, and he looked at Tilg next to him pitifully, "Okay, although I know that your kid has been hitting my daughter's attention, but I can assure you that I will treat him like my own son" Tilg looked pained and nodded through gritted teeth

"At that time, if there was anything wrong with him, I would beat him hard, just like that kid in my family"

"Oh, I'm relieved!" Si Efenger laughed and said, "Sometimes I think that kid is a little underwhelmed!As the son of an admiral, he gets dizzy when he sees the sea, but I don't have time to discipline him, and it would be a good thing if you, the future father-in-law, do it for him!" "Hmph!" Tilger's face was a little sad and sullen, he snorted, he didn't hear the words from his old friend's mouth, it was more like he was arranging the aftermath, and it seemed that he had been prepared for the situation after returning to Hong Kong. With such a big loss, I'm afraid that even Lord Dustrunkai can't suppress it! And the failure of this sortie is even more likely to lead to the strategy personally arranged by His Majesty the Falcon, and there are disgraceful flaws, no matter how you look at it, it seems that there is no possibility of being lightly punished!

He hesitated for a moment, but decided to be relieved and said Actually, you don't have to be too pessimistic, Lord Dustrenkai is the best naval commander in the Empire, I believe he will also have some understanding of the situation of the Third Fleet at that time, with 4 warships against the enemy's 40 ships can hold on to such a long time, and it is precisely because of your persistence that my Fourth Fleet has won time to inflict heavy damage on the enemy, you just faithfully carried out the orders above, no one would have thought that the enemy's counterattack force was so strong!"

"Bang Bang"

Three ships approached from the direction of the harbor, lined up the waves, and approached the flanks

The Falcon Navy's battle flags fluttered over the high masts of these Dragon's Tooth ships, and an officer in a dark black uniform stepped from the docked Dragon's Tooth sampan onto the fleet's flagship, followed by several soldiers with equally stern expressions

"Which one is Swift Fingerger!"

The young officer asked coldly, his eyes swept over like lightning, and everyone around him bowed their heads under this gaze, not daring to speak again, the dark black uniform is only available in the Falcon Army, that is, the Imperial Supervision Department, which is known as the shadow of His Majesty, that is a department known as the devil, I heard that the people inside, if they don't kill a few people every day, they will feel unhappy "You can't go!" Tilger's eyes were blood-red, and he violently grabbed Si Effenger's arm with his hand, and said in a low voice. Wait a little longer, I'm sure the Admiralty people will come soon, Lord Dustrenkai won't give up on you like this, if you go with them, I'm sure even Lord Dustrenkai won't be able to save you!" "It doesn't matter, I've been thinking for the past two days, my subordinates are dead, why am I still alive!" Si Fingeranger shook his head with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, and pushed away the arm of his old friend Tilger If I were also among the people who died in battle, I think Lord Dustrunkai would not be so embarrassed, as a soldier, he did not die on the battlefield, but survived because of the death of his subordinates, no matter how you say it, it is a shameful thing!

"You ......" Tilger stared at his old friend who didn't want to resist at all, his angry muscles came out, and he couldn't speak for a while, Si Efenger had already come straight to the murderous officer of the Ministry of Supervision, and gave a military salute and said, "I am Si Effinger, please take me away!" "Please follow me, someone wants to see you!" The officer of the Ministry of Supervision glanced at him up and down, and unexpectedly did not immediately order the soldiers behind him to arrest, but made a gesture to him to please follow, "Well, don't you want to arrest me immediately?" Si Effinger was stunned for a moment, the Ministry of Supervision is not a department that is easy to talk to, and the attitude of the other party is too suspicious

"Please follow me!" said the black-uniformed Inspectorate officer again, with a solemn face

Si Efenger reluctantly followed behind the officer in the black uniform, walked onto the sampan in the middle of the battleship, and said cautiously, "If I am executed, please bury my ashes in the same place with my subordinates, okay?"

"You mean the fiercely fought reef?"

It was rare that the officer in black uniform turned his head to look at him, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I can't answer this question!" Although I also come from the Central Army like you, because I can't let the ashes of a living person be spilled into the sea."

The sentence "What do you mean ......" made the disheartened Si Efenger stunned
