"Well, if I'm not mistaken, I guess this meeting will be the last council for the few of us before the war starts." After distributing the information in his hand to everyone, Sun Lin said with a smile to Andelte, Yuri, Rakuman and others: "Now, let me talk about the troop arrangements of the Maginot Line. ”

"First of all, on the naval side, at present, the First Expeditionary Fleet and the Second Expeditionary Fleet of our Sunset Fleet have all stayed in the Lasman Islands and Enoch Islands in the coastal area of the Western Regions of the Central Continent, I think I said what everyone should know about this, right?"

"Your Majesty, have you decided to abandon the islands of Vadano Island, an archipelago that is difficult to defend?" The First Captain and the Second Captain of the Inland Sea Expeditionary Fleet of the King of the Central Continent: Orso and Soli asked in unison after a period of silence, and at the same time, Soli, who had just arrived recently, also frowned and continued to ask Sun Lin: "Your Majesty, I don't think we should give up Vadano Island, although Vadano Island is isolated from the sea due to topographical factors, but Vadano Island is indeed an island with natural defensive terrain, and at the same time, it also has a natural harbor with a deep enough draft, It's enough to moor a few of the Divine Light Empire's 'Sea-Fixer' warships at the same time, and even if we abandon Vadano Island, we should leave some of our elite troops stationed on the island, and maybe we can destroy a few Sea-Fixer warships before we fight." ”

"But what if it fails?" Sun Lin responded: "Although I sometimes choose to take a gamble in terms of commanding operations, this is when I have the confidence, and now, not to mention whether I have the confidence to face the army of the Holy Light Empire, even if I have you, can you really restrain your subordinates from supporting the soldiers on Wadano Island at that time?" ”

"This .........." said to Sun Lin. The two captains of the Sunset Fleet were silent after a while, because they really couldn't guarantee that the situation Sun Lin said would not happen, after all, in fact, the probability of this kind of thing happening was almost the same as the possibility that the Sunset Fleet facing a million-strong army would sink the "Dinghai" battleship.

"The reason why I gave up Vadano Island is because I don't want this war to turn into a tug-of-war on Vadano Island at the beginning, even if we can hold Vadano Island at that time, what if the main force of our army is pressed on Vadano Island by then, and the Holy Light Great Empire side sends troops to raid our rear? What if the fleet of the Great Empire of Divine Light attracts our fleet by then, and their potential ally, the Great Griffon Empire, sends their fleet to raid our Nizhny Maginot Line? It's not that I don't want Vadano Island, but you have to know that the odds of our side winning this battle are estimated to be less than 40% now, and the next step is the wrong step in such a situation. We can only choose to fight in the most conservative way. ”

"We understand Your Majesty, we will have the troops evacuate Vadano Island immediately after the meeting."

"Remember, the reason I sent you two with all the elite fleets of our Great Empire is not to fight the enemy to the death, because you have unimaginable mobility in this battle than our cavalry troops." After Sun Lin said this, he asked everyone to take out the first piece of information out of all the information distributed. He said to everyone: "At present, in addition to the Royal Victory and its exclusive fleet, we have a total of 20 whale-class Hawkgar warships, 60 heavy-class Hawkgar warships, 240 standard Hawker warships and 60 Hawker assault ships. In addition, there are more than 500 warships such as bison transport ships, heavy armored transport ships, and armed transport ships. As for those armed civilian transport ships and Arrow Fort ships whose combat effectiveness is worse than that of armed transport ships, I have already asked these warships to go to the Maginot Line, and now since the numbers of all types of warships are even, I don't need to know what to do next. According to the law of equal distribution, the battle between the two fleets will be adjusted to a level of equilibrium in the near future, but you must remember that I require one fleet to have twice as many guns as the other. Secondly, the defensive weapons of the Lower Maginot Line have reached a state of strain, so don't think about getting some more artillery from me, even the No. 1 gun. ”

"Yes."

"Now I will tell you about the operational plans of the two fleets: first, the fleet with a large number of artillery. This fleet will establish a strong sea direction near the Rathman Islands within about one to two months of the invasion of the Divine Light Empire forces, and the war consumables for you will be hoarded on the Rathman Islands, and the members of the Fish-Man clan in the rear will also bring you materials, so you can pour ammunition into the enemy fleet as much as you want, and I ask you to do only one, that is, to ensure that 80% of the warships survive and have the ability to go to sea, Intercept all the enemy's fleets in the waters near the Rasman Islands, and do not allow them to move a step forward, and when the time comes, when the retreat instructions we give you arrive, you will move in the direction of the northwest region of the Central Continent, and finally reach the coastal zone of the northern region of the Central Continent, during which there will be a team of thousands of griffons to scout the route for you, and after reaching the northwest of the Central Continent, you will be replaced by Batriders, so you must move quickly and not be detected during the voyage, As for the subsequent instructions, when you arrive at the designated place in the northern region of the Central Continent, there will naturally be an informant to contact you, and then you can follow the next instruction, do you understand? If you understand it, then choose a person, and state in advance that this fleet will fight more coastal warfare than naval warfare. ”

"If that's the case, then I'd suggest letting Lord Solley go." Orso preemptively said: "Your Excellency Solly has had the experience of fighting in the land of the Thousand Islands in the Western Continent before, so most of the battles fought are island battles, and in a certain case, they belong to coastal warfare, so I think that if you want to fight coastal warfare, then Your Excellency Solly's experience should be much stronger than that of the old man, after all, the old man has only tried to let the fleet fight with the coastal troops this year." ”

"Soley, do you have any objections?" After listening to Captain Orso's proposal, Sun Lin asked Soli, "If there is no objection, then the First Fleet that guards the Rathman Islands will be yours." ”

"Since His Excellency Orso has said so, of course I have no objection." Soli replied immediately

"Well, then you can take a boat to the Rathman Islands after the council is over...... Oh yes, in addition to the assigned fleet, I will send all 8 Naga Foreign Legions and two Fish-Man Sea Scout Corps with a total of 100,000 people in your hands, but during the battle of the Rasman Islands, you don't have any right to command these 10 Sea Clan Legions, they will only do some trivial things for you, if you want them to participate in the battle, unless the Rasman Islands are in a bitter battle, otherwise you will only have the right to mobilize them to fight after you reach the northern region of the Central Continent. ”

"It's Your Majesty, I know it."

"Then it's up to you, Olso, now you will be the captain of the Second Fleet of Sunset, and the first 1 to 2 months of the mission will be the same as Soli's mission, except that Soli will command the Sunset Fleet in the Lathman Islands, and you will command the Sunset Fleet in the Enoch Islands, and besides, you will not have the Sea Clan troops to assist you during this period and in the future, as for the rest, you will have it. And when you and Solly have the order to retreat from the streets, you will follow the order to move towards the junction of the Western Regions of the Central Continent and the Southern Regions of the Central Continent to get out of the battle, where you will get the Xiyi Fleet.

"The Xiyi fleet is also here?"

"Yes, the two generals of Maori Yuan and Tanegashima Kuniken will lead the First Fleet and the Second Fleet to help, of which there are about 50 Ataku ships including Oyataku, and there are more than 300 official ships, in addition, the number of Thousand Fire Fleets has been expanded to more than 400 ships because of the needs of the next battle, including more than 30 improved version of the explosion ships, although Maori Yuan will tell you the clear use of this kind of warship at that time, but before that, I still have to warn you, The power of this improved version of the explosive ship in the short term is unimaginable, so please consider carefully when you choose to use the explosive ship, and this thing must not be used in a place where your own fleet is dense, and the most suitable weather to use this kind of warship is when the fog rises in the early morning, and it is taboo to use this kind of warship on rainy days, do you understand? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, I know everything, please rest assured, I will definitely use that .......... exploding ship with caution."

"Very good, then when your fleet meets with the Xiyi fleet, it will go to the depths of the King's Inland Sea together, where the friends of the King's Inland Sea Fishman tribe will tell you the next step, and before that, you and Maoli Yuan can just stay in the depths of the King's Inland Sea, understand?"

"It's Your Majesty."

"Very good, the naval order is now basically processed, my generals, you can now open the second piece of information, and the next thing is the people you will have to complete during the future war, these tasks are very difficult, so you must carefully read word by word." (To be continued......)
