Chapter 731: Griffin Plague (37)

"Win! Our fleet was victorious. "With the end of the battle between the fleet of the Great Empire and the four fleets of the Griffin Empire, at the end of the battle, the news of the final victory of the Sunset Fleet also spread in a short period of time in the upper echelons of the Sunset Empire because their own clan was the new vassal race of the Sunset Empire.

Of course, this news was only circulated at the top of the Great Empire, and it was not circulated in the military headquarters and even among the people of the Great Empire in the past, as was the case with the victories of the Great Empire in the past, so as to boost the hearts of the people and improve the morale of the soldiers in the army. As for the reason, it is very simple, because the mission of the Great Imperial Fleet to annihilate the Griffin Great Empire fleet is a secret operation in itself, and of course, the less people know about it, the less people know about it.

And the most important thing is that the soldiers who were born in the war between the Sun Never Sets Empire and the two old Great Empires in the Middle Continent come from all over the King Continent, although in the early days of the war, the Sun Never Sets Great Empire required to enter the front line to fight only the regular troops, elite troops and second-line troops of the Sun Never Set Empire, but with the battle between the two empires in the Middle Continent and the Middle Continent, the battle between the two empires in the middle of the Middle Continent has turned from the earliest vicious war to a war of attrition (under the deliberate "connivance" of the Sun Never Set Empire, Although the two powerful million-strong armies of the Central Continent and the Central Region did not capture most of the Maginot Line's massive wall defenses, they had already established a foundation in the 36 acropolis. The Great Empire had no choice but to mobilize the rear as militia units and baggage troops in the third line of the Sunset, that is, the militia-level troops of the Sunset Wing into the front line to fight.

But this is only the beginning, you must know that the current situation of the battle on the Maginot Line has deviated from the original situation envisioned by the great empire on which the sun never sets, and the battle situation is no longer the situation envisaged by the high-level at the beginning. Therefore, as a last resort, the Great Empire of the Sun Never Sets had to mobilize the strength of the Sun Never Set Mercenary Guild to mobilize countless mercenaries from various regions of the King Continent to the Maginot Line, becoming an indispensable part of the forces of the Maginot Line Empire on the battlefield of the Maginot Line.

But for these mixed mercenaries, even if the Sun Never Sets Empire can give them the treatment of militia level and even second-line combat troops in the Sun Never Set Army in terms of life security, it is absolutely impossible to give them any trust, because these mercenaries come from all over the King Continent, and some of them come from those who are secretly either affected by the Griffin Empire or the Divine Light Empire, and the possibility of spies among these mercenaries becomes extremely high. This means that if the sun never sets and the news of the victory in the naval battle reaches the army, then the Holy Light Empire and the Griffin Empire are likely to receive news about the defeat of the four fleets of the Griffin Empire. At that time, the battle plan that the sun hopes to succeed and the two old forces of the Central Continent will be nullified.

Of course, the Great Empire of the Sun Never Sets actually has a way to greatly increase its combat strength while ensuring that these soldiers can swear their sincerity to the Great Empire, but in Sun Lin's opinion, this method is really a bit of a big deal when it is used in a situation like Maginot that seems to be very critical, but in fact it is not very critical, and although this method does not have to wait until the last resort, it can be used. But it is still a bit too early to use the strategy of the Great Empire of the Sun Never Sets and the Two Great Empires of the Central Continent and the Middle Continent, because this method is when Sun Lin is ready to win this war when the sun never sets. It is used as the ultimate hole card for the Yin Divine Light Empire to prepare for the Griffin Empire and the Great Empire that does not set the sun to enter the middle of the Middle Continent.

And after the end of this maritime battlefield. Although from the perspective of returns, the three fleets on the side of the sun never set suffered heavy losses, among which the Xiyi warships lost half thousands of fireships and all the exploding ships at the beginning and later stages of the war because of the crazy counterattack of the Griffin Great Empire warships, plus some of the official ships, of course, this is not the biggest loss for the Xiyi fleet, and the biggest loss of the Xiyi fleet is the power plant of most of the Xiyi warships. That is, the paddlewheel device that was exposed to the air and was only protected by a thin layer of iron sheet was damaged, which also means that the Xiyi fleet is currently in a semi-paralyzed state, after all, the skills required to repair the paddlewheel are even comparable to repairing the damaged keel of a battleship to a certain extent.

The First Fleet also lost more than half of the standard warships of various types. However, for the First Fleet, the biggest loss is still those elite sunset sailors, it is estimated that the sun does not set to train the sunset elite sailors lost in this battle again, and the resources and time consumed will be a very headache for the sunset naval department.

As for the second fleet of the sun, which is almost a soy sauce in this naval battle, because of the change in the battle situation, it did not lose many warships in the end, so the situation of the three fleets of the great empire is that although the Xiyi battleship has combat effectiveness, it has lost the ability to move in the short term; At present, the First Fleet of the Sun Never Sets is completely disabled, and the light and medium-sized warships are either sunk or lose their combat capability, and only the heavy and super-heavy warships plus the Royal Fleet, which temporarily belongs to the First Fleet of the Sunset, are still combat-capable; The Second Fleet is still very complete at present, and its combat capability is almost intact.

Under such circumstances, the Second Fleet of the Sunset and the Royal Fleet, under the leadership of Solly, deservedly became the implementation force of the Sunset Navy's next battle plan, while Orso, Mori Motosashi, Tanegashima Kuniken and others could only stay in the naval battle area, while repairing their own warships, while inspecting the warships left over from the Griffin Great Empire fleet, to see if they could get some useful warships from them to fill the lack of warships in the Sunset Fleet.

However, although the Great Empire of the Sun Never Sets has been successful in naval battles, or the Sun Never Sets Navy has won a complete victory in the naval battle of the King's Inland Sea (after all, there is no fleet on this blue sea that can threaten any of the three fleets of the Sun Never Set Empire's navy). But the current battle situation of the Great Empire on which the sun never sets is not smooth sailing, such as the embarrassing battle situation of the Maginot Line, and for example, as the supreme leader of the Great Empire, Sun Lin, Zhongyu fell due to physical exhaustion after a few months of high-intensity work.........
