Volume II Southern Beacon 1232 Punishment
A detailed chart of the waters of Antolus was calmly placed in front of the fat man, this picture came from the contribution of the pirate named Ruhr, although it looked crumpled, but the clear markings on it were enough to make people understand the situation in the waters of Antolus at a glance,
Sunlight shone through the windows of the battleship's cabin, forming pillars of light, and the fat man's eyes were removed from the map, and he raised his head to look at Dustrenkai on the opposite side, "So, on the side of Antoros, there are other landing sites where large troop carriers can dock?"
"Yes, but the terrain is narrow, which is not conducive to the rapid deployment of the army," Dustrenkai said with a respectful expression, "and the enemy's fleet may appear at any time, I believe that after the previous collision, the other side will definitely take precautions, and even transfer more warships, and the possibility of encountering the enemy's ship group when landing is certain! So we must send another fleet to Antolus before landing." It would be best if the enemy ship group in the Antolus sea area could be severely damaged, otherwise it would be necessary to attract all the attention of the enemy ship group as much as possible to reduce the danger of landing, but in order to prevent the enemy ship group from avoiding the battle, the number of warships that could be drawn out should not be too much, so this fleet commander must be a brave and fearless person with a decisive heart to the death."
"So, you already have a specific candidate?" The fat man raised his head, his gaze swept like a sharp blade, making Dustrengke's face pale slightly, "For the time being." ,!。 Not yet!" Dustrenkai's face was slightly pale, and he almost blurted out the name in his mouth, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva nervously before he said, "Because the punishment of the commander of the Third Fleet, Efenger, has not yet been decided, there is also a lot of discussion within the fleet now,
The commanders of each detachment were worried that if they encountered the enemy's massive fleet again, they would not be able to escape punishment even if they fought to the death like the Third Fleet
"So the morale of the army is a little low, and the commanders who were originally enthusiastic have begun to retreat......" Dustrenke's voice stopped when he wanted to speak, and his eyes blinked, not daring to say more
"Why do I hear that you seem to be interceding for Si Efenger!" The fat man's face was gloomy, and there was no trace of affection on his cold face, and he looked at Dustrengke with burning eyes, and said coldly, "Do you know the consequences of playing such a clever trick?"
"No, his subordinates didn't dare, but in that situation, he had already done his best under the disparity of ten to one's combat strength!
Under the gaze of the fat man like a knife, cold sweat rolled down his forehead, only to realize that he had indeed lost his words just now, no matter how he sounded like he was threatening, but the words had already been spoken, and he could only finish the words with a hard head.
His Majesty's aura was so powerful that he didn't dare to face it at all
"One thousand and one hundred of the best sailors were killed, 3 Dragon's Tooth warships were sunk, and one Dragon-class was severely damaged," the fat man said in a cold tone, word by word, "The Imperial Navy has never suffered such a crushing defeat since its creation, do you think it should not be punished? As the boss of Si Efenger, you have nothing to plead for him, but don't forget, you are the commander of the fleet, and you are the Imperial Admiral."
"As the commander of the First Army, where is your position and position?"
The fat man's tone became colder and colder, making Dustrengke fall to his knees in fright, and said in a trembling voice
"But...... Regardless, his subordinates thought that Esfainger was really guilty of not dying, and he was also the only commander of the detachment who had fought the opposing fleet from beginning to end. "Giving a chance is not favoritism and indulgence!" the fat man interrupted him with a hint of complicated emotion flashing on his face, and said in a condensed voice, "You are also a commander, you should understand that the reason why the army is an army is because of the military order, even in the face of a thousand-bladed cliff, the soldiers will not hesitate to move forward because the soldiers know that there are iron-like military regulations behind them!"
"But His Majesty once said such things to his subordinates, he fell there, and he got up there, and his subordinates were selfless, and they only hoped that His Majesty would give Si Efenger a chance to make meritorious contributions!
Dustrenkai took out a letter full of names from his pocket in a panic, because he was too nervous, the signed letter fell to the ground, Dustrenkai quickly picked it up,
Holding his hands up, "My subordinates here, there is also a joint letter from the commanders of all the detachments of the fleet, I hope Your Majesty can think about it!"
"Stupid!"
The fat man's eyes glanced at the joint letter full of names in Dustrenkai's hand, and scolded him a little angrily: "Improper command, the command fleet has suffered heavy losses, and it should be killed according to military law! And you, as the person in charge of this naval battle, others can plead, but you must never open your mouth to intercede! Do you still need me to say it so clearly? Meritorious rewards and punishments are the soul of the army?" If a defeated naval officer is pardoned simply because of your personal feelings, have you ever thought about the thoughts of sailors who are about to go to war?
If you really want to protect Si Effinger, you need something more weighty, you are usually very smart, why can't you react now" The fat man said fiercely, "As a descendant from the Central Army, how could I really execute Si Effinger?"
What's more, the real mistake in this battle was not in Si Efenger, he just strictly carried out my orders, and very unfortunately, he ran into the enemy's main ship group, although he lost 3 dragon tooth ships, but he also won the opportunity to inflict heavy damage on the other side for the companion fleet.
PNT40, even if the person in command at that time was me, probably that's it, and most importantly, this is the first battle between the navies of the two continents, in the true sense, which truly reflects the combat power of the ship groups on both sides.
Ten to one, and still fighting like that, this shows that the combat capability of the enemy's warships is not strong, and the weaknesses and strengths exposed by the opponent are also worthy of our attention.
The opposing warships have developed baffles and incendiary bombs, although they are still only rough ones, but no one dares to guarantee that the opposing army will not have more complete weapons, which is a problem worth considering.
The huge size of the opponent's warships is still a weakness, and although the opponent's main combat methods have a certain system, they are still stuck in the relatively old broadside battles on the whole, and with the sharpness of our navy, it should be enough to sweep the opponent's coastline for a period of time.
The fat man glanced at Dustronkai, who was still half-kneeling, and said directly, "This battle, although defeated, is still glorious!" The information we obtained in this battle is worth the loss of the last 3 dragon tooth ships・What really hurts me is the 1,100 experienced sailors, those are the elite who have fought many times, and the battleship can be built, but these naval elites who have experienced many battles are the irreparable losses of the Imperial Navy, and this battle is the first time that the Imperial Navy has suffered heavy losses, if it is not handled properly, it is likely to cause the morale of the grassroots soldiers of the Navy to fluctuate, so this punishment must be carried by someone, otherwise who will fight to the death for the glory of the Navy in the future"What does Majesty mean ......?" Dustrenkai raised his head a little stunned, he was also a quick-witted guy, how could he not hear the meaning of Majesty's words to put Si Efenger in it, but what was the more weighty thing mentioned in His Majesty's mouth?
"What I want is the revenge of the entire navy, from officers to soldiers, you idiot!" the fat man slapped his hand on the map on the table with a cold face, and said indignantly, "In three days, I will personally lead all the admirals of the Navy to hold an oath of revenge for the 1,100 heroic soldiers who died at the naval headquarters, and then I will personally watch the fleet attack the waters of Antorus with all its might, as for the life and death of Si Effinger, let fate decide"
"I see, it's the subordinates who are too stupid!"
Dustrenkai's face turned red with excitement, and he secretly scolded himself for being stupid, in the eyes of a strategy like Falcon, how could his eyes only stay on these details, and compared to the grand ambition of the Imperial Navy, just one failure is really not worth thinking about, "Okay, that's it!" The fat man waved his hand at him, Dustrenkai stood up and walked to the door of the cabin, the hatch opened, the harsh sunlight shone through, Dustrenkai's eyes narrowed slightly, and the words of His Majesty the Falcon were still echoing in his mind.
"Division...... Commander?" Dustrenkai heard a familiar voice, and then saw Si Finger standing in the doorway,
"Si Efeng, why are you here?" Dustreng looked stunned, and Si Estuenger also looked at the boss who came out of the cabin a little sluggishly, almost forgot to salute, he never expected to see Dustronik here, and said with an embarrassed wry smile, "I was brought here by someone, and I don't know what is going on until now" "I see!" Dustronik suddenly realized,
No wonder His Majesty the Falcon said such a thing just now, it turned out that His Majesty wanted to use this flame of revenge to turn the windy and turbulent waters of Antolus into a storm boiling over the entire Obaro Sea, and Si Effinger was undoubtedly the person used by His Majesty to light the flames.
"Come in, Si Fingerger!"
The black-uniformed inspector opened the door to the cabin, and Smith entered the cabin with trepidation, and a slightly chubby figure appeared in front of him.
"The Fifth Squadron of the Second Banner Regiment of the Central Army Si Ai Finger meets His Majesty!"
Si Finger knelt down on one knee with a stern expression and said loudly. Although he was very scared in his heart, he was also a little trembling with excitement, His Majesty the Falcon, the idol of all soldiers, the founder of the huge empire, if he could meet him, even if he died
"It's been a long time since I've heard such an imposing voice!" The fat man on the other side turned around, glanced at Si Efenger, and said, "Some people say that you are the first defeated person in the Imperial Navy and must be executed, and some people say that you have done your best, and you are already defeated to be able to do this, what do you think about this matter?"
Si Efenger was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect His Majesty Falcon to ask such a question, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "My subordinates don't know, my subordinates only have one request, I just hope that Your Majesty can let me be buried with my subordinates!" "I can't agree to this!" The fat man smiled at the corner of his mouth and said, "Your subordinates are in the waters of Antorus, not close to here, what I can promise you is that in three days, the main force of the fleet will attack Antoros, do you have the courage to serve as the lead ship of the assault with the flag of revenge?"
