Realm of Power

new atwood,

The morning light appeared in the sky earlier than usual, like a golden transparent cover, covering a small market town in the distance.

The name of this town is Sad Town, which is sixty miles away from New Atwood. It is currently the headquarters of the Falcon Army. The sun casts its golden light on the tops of various buildings in Sad Town on time. These buildings are dyed with a faint golden light, making them look particularly dazzling. The town is not Although it is large, it is the core of the entire northwest coast. The army has sealed off the nearby ten-mile area. The messengers who used to be in a hurry have recently been able to stop and chat with their companions. January is a month for the northwest coast. A rare period of calm, no war, a period of peace in the northwest,

Facing the morning sunshine, the fat man got up from the bed. Several wives were busy choosing the address for building the city, but no one bothered him. The several women together showed great curiosity about this vast new land, which was just right. Today is the opening ceremony of Xinhai City's Sky Holy Church Hall. Sky Sacrifice Parstina also appeared in Xinhai City, and all the wives went to support it.

Everyone knows that this Priest Parszina must have had an affair with the fat man, but the most important thing is his extraordinary and transcendent identity.

Since the issuance of the order allowing the construction of temples across the empire, the number of believers in the Sky Temple has grown rapidly. In just a few months, it has expanded from less than 2 million people in Salander to the current five There are more than one million people. Based on the Falcon Empire's population base of 30 million, on average, one out of every six people is a believer in the Sky Temple.

The Sky Temple has deservedly become a religious system with a very high popularity in the empire. The reason why the Sky Temple has been promoted so quickly is because believers in the Sky Temple can get a very good benefit, that is, their children can be free of charge. Get a basic education in the temple,

This is for this era where education is extremely backward and for ordinary people who cannot afford to go to school. It's like pie-in-the-sky luck.

The fat man had a rare moment of leisure and set foot on the ancient dirt road leading to the market town. The road here had just been repaired. The stones were mixed with gray-white frozen soil. Most of the roads in Xinhai City were like this. There was still white snow on the ground, so the road was a little muddy. Being accustomed to seeing bustling and tragic battlefields, Fatty felt that he could walk on such a dirt road calmly. It is also a very good enjoyment. Construction in various places is booming, and the road connection network is rapidly expanding, bringing more vitality and expansion space to new immigrant areas.

While construction was going on in the northwest, the southwest was already raging with war. The war in January broke out like a raging fire.

More than 100,000 non-Ganglin troops marched across the border with murderous intent. In order to deal with the fortress group accumulated on the border for decades, the Gangfei people adopted a lateral cut-off tactic. They did not get entangled in fighting fortress by fortress, but looked for the fortress where the commander of the Southwest Army was located, and then assembled heavy troops to cut in from behind. ,

The Southwest Army, which had lost contact, suddenly fell into chaos because of its limited strength. In addition, the tactics of dispersed defense were adopted. Even if it was known that the target of the Gangfei Army was the location of the legion commander, other auxiliary forts could not mobilize more troops to contain it. There were two consecutive defense lines of the legion, that is Being defeated easily like this,

Although this cut-off tactic does little damage to soldiers. But the panic caused was enough to shake the entire southwest. Areas that were originally considered impenetrable became wooden stakes that could not be counterattacked. When the news came, the faces of the generals of the Southwest Army were ugly.

A large number of Gang Fei troops cut in between the fortresses at will, but the defenders could only hide inside and stare. The central barrier was broken through one by one, and the connection with the auxiliary forts was cut off, making it difficult to support, or on the way to support, they encountered the joint strangulation of the Congolese and African troops.

In the initial confrontation, the Gangfei army used this terrible tactic of combining points and aspects without any fancy, like a bulldozer, which once put the entire southwest in great panic.

It was only when the new head of the Southwest Region, Julius Forbaugh, took office that the one-sided situation finally improved.

Julius Fort is worthy of being a general who has been guarding one side for more than ten years. He quickly figured out a way to crack the opponent's key elimination tactics. That is, the commanders of each defensive area are no longer fixed in one location, but can be used in auxiliary positions at will. The Gangfei army was not unaware of this at first. They still followed the old method and rushed towards the fortress where the commander was located. However, what greeted them was the fully mobilized Southwest Army encircling them. Although the Congolese and African troops evacuated in time, they suffered more than 10,000 battle losses.

The morale of the Southwest Army was greatly shaken. After sweeping away the previous decline, it stabilized its position amidst the upgrading of the Gang Fei Army. The extremely cold weather that followed also did a great favor to the Southwest Army. The dense group of bunkers were overturned. Covered by layers of golden and translucent ice, the hope of Gang Fei's army to break through the obstacles of these bunkers in a short time becomes increasingly slim.

"The other party should be testing the road!" Dostronkai frowned slightly. After gathering such intelligence, the sudden appearance of the Gangfei Navy is easy to understand. "According to the intelligence sent from the southwest, the Gangfei Imperial Navy It has occupied Adonis Port, one of the most important ports in the West Sea. This port is located on an island in the southwest sea more than fifty miles away from the mainland. It has always been known as the core of the southwest sea. Because of this, my subordinates believe that , Gang Fei’s navy’s goal is to continue advancing northward,

They not only want to sneak into our northwest waters, but also hope to use the navy to open a hole behind the battle line," the Navy Minister asserted

"Your analysis is not unreasonable!" The fat man tapped his fingers on the table. Although the Southwest Army was fighting fiercely with the Gangfei people, the aftermath of the war has not yet spread to the northwest. As the construction of the new Atwood Sea City approaches, At the end, a huge port area appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

A total of five large ports united together form an architectural wonder similar to a port group. A New Atwood is almost equal to the total carrying capacity of the entire northwest coast port. This is enough to attract the attention of the Congolese fleet still in the southwest sea. ,

This is a huge map hanging on the wall in an independent room. The fat man has drawn a sketch full of traces.

In the study room belonging to His Majesty Falcon, sunlight shines in from the windows, and the three glass-covered candlesticks installed on the top can light up to thirty-six candles. If they are all lit, even in the dark night. The whole room is also bright. The light projected by this office in the middle of the night is called "Eagle's Eye" by the guards.

"Your Majesty, I think Gangfei Ren's actions have constituted hostility! If we don't react at all, we will arouse the contempt of the other party! So we must fight back, otherwise it will lead to more wanton behavior." The Navy Minister was specially recalled from Xinhai City Dustrumkai, stand at attention. He said to the fat man with an angry face

In early February, when Xinhai City was completed. The fat man specially brought several princesses to New Atwood. Amid the cheers of tens of thousands of people, he took the Imperial Navy flagship. As the first warship to enter Xinhai City, it slowly docked in Xinhai City, which was densely packed like a honeycomb. on the pier

"You mean we go to war with Gangfei?"

The fat man put down the report in his hand and tilted his sore neck. Facing Admiral Dostronkai, who came to inquire in person, he said solemnly, "Although we are not afraid of war, it does not mean that we can despise our opponents. What you said makes sense! But how many people have been dispatched by the Gangfei Navy? Do you know where they are now?"

"I don't want to know," Dostronkai said confidently. "We only need to know where the southwest core port of Adonis is. In our first confrontation, we had a draw. The other party was arrogant and arrogant, so he would not Would have thought that we would have the courage to strike back quickly! "

Dostelenko's voice stopped, his body straightened upright, and he said loudly and powerfully, "And this time the Gangfei navy fleet came very fiercely. We have not encountered any opponents in the southwest sea, so we must be relaxed on guard. If our navy suddenly appears in In the southwest waters, the Gangfei Navy will definitely be in a hurry. This is the opportunity for our navy to seize the opportunity to seize the core port of Adonis in the southwest. Otherwise, if the situation in the southwest continues to collapse, our northwest will also be in a precarious situation. "

The fat man was silent and walked back and forth with his eyebrows slightly furrowed. He was thinking about what Dustrunkai said. The situation of the Southwest Army was indeed not optimistic. Although he tried his best, all he could do was slow down the advancement of the Gangfei Army. It is already February, and in one month it will be the warm spring of March. With the cold winter gone, the Southwest Army will lose its most powerful support. As Dustelenko said, if the Southwest collapses, the Northwest will be exposed to the influence of the Confederation Empire. Under the front, it was already too late to mobilize the navy to counterattack, because the turning point of the battlefield was no longer on the sea.

"Your Majesty, the commanders of the Salon Army and Hu Keqili Army have arrived!" The guard's report came from outside the door.

"Let them in!"

The fat man stopped, turned around and responded, because the Slavs no longer posed a threat. He had just transferred back Hukoqili's Central Army and Salon's Army from the northern border. The number of troops gathered in Haicheng now reached 6 With thousands of people, Fatty must prepare for a rainy day. If the southwest collapses, wouldn't he have even assembled an army? After explaining the situation to the two of them, their faces looked very heavy. To be fair, the only way to reverse the unfavorable situation in the southwest was to send troops from the northwest. However, thinking that it was for the Gauls to resist the Confederates, they let the soldiers fight bloody battles. , the two regiment commanders expressed their inner feelings that they could not accept it.

"What if we land on the island to fight?" The fat man pulled out a chair and sat down slowly. At the same time, he waved for the other three to sit down too. "What I mean is that the army cooperates with the navy to capture the core islands in the southwest sea. Although it cannot be directly Reversing the situation in the southwest, at least it can reduce the pressure on the southwest! And the island is also ours, which means we are fighting for ourselves! "

"If this is the case, we can accept it!" Two military ministers agreed,

"This is the sketch of Adonis Port!" Dostronkai looked excited and took out a sketch from his arms as if by magic. He said excitedly, "As far as I know, there are not many guards on the island. There are just a few." The non-army island garrison, a heavy armored corps, and other logistics personnel, etc., total no more than 15,000 people. If 20,000 troops can be suddenly deployed, we can definitely win it in one fell swoop."

"With a force of 20,000 people, is your navy absolutely sure that it will safely reach the island?" The fat man bent down and looked at the map. It was very detailed. Even the sentry towers of the island's defenders were marked. It seems that they have been there for a long time. It was premeditated that Dostronkai caused trouble in the southwest sea. This must be one of the results of that battle.

"this....."

Dustelenko stood there with an ugly face. No one could make such a guarantee, even Dustelenko, who was known as the number one man in the navy. There were too many situations that could occur at sea, some were man-made and others natural disaster. Because we are fighting deep into the opponent's waters, the possibility of encountering the opponent's fleet is very high. Even if everything goes well, who can guarantee that there won't be some storms on the way? It's really unreasonable to ask such a bottomless question. It’s the style of His Majesty Falcon!

"If that's the case, I can't gamble with the lives of 20,000 soldiers!" The fat man shrugged regretfully. He looked away from the map and said in a deep voice, "To underestimate the enemy is to destroy yourself. Organizing a large army to cross the sea, forcibly landing, and once the occupation is stable, it is not an easy task. If there is a slight mistake, not only the soldiers will be lost." Life, and the future of the empire!”

"What if we try our best to minimize the danger! I hope that His Majesty will agree to this battle plan for the sake of this thing!" Dostelenko suddenly stood up from his seat and took out a blood book from his arms with a solemn expression. handed it to the fat man,

"This is?'

The fat man took the blood book. His pupils tightened unnaturally, and the names written densely in blood were all of the Falcon Navy's admiral, squadron commander, and first mate of some fleets. His finger prints were actually stained on the entire cloth. It felt very heavy. ah!

"Your Majesty. This is a collective petition for war from the 157 admirals of our Imperial Navy and their subordinates!"

Dostelenko looked at the fat man whose face changed slightly, and said solemnly, "In the last encounter with the Gangfei Navy, with the same number, although our cruise fleet killed one of the opponent's warships, we also suffered heavy losses. Our navy has never suffered such a humiliation. I hope your Majesty can give us a chance to take revenge!"

"What do you think? After all, the soldiers for this landing operation are selected from your two legions."

The fat man took a deep breath and kicked the ball to Hu Keqili and Salon with a very cool kick. The two looked at the names above with burning eyes. The dazzling blood color undoubtedly stimulated the excitement of the two important military officials. Blood. A trace of solemnity flashed across Hu Keqili's face, and he said, "Although there is no guarantee of absolute safety, I also believe that everyone in the navy is a warrior with strong bones. How can we let the hearts of warriors be cold because of timidity! This The plan can be executed!”

"What about you, Salon!" The fat man looked at the silent Salon on the other side with burning eyes. What would be the attitude of this guy who is simply a hairless fox?

"This..." Salon took a deep breath, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense. Dostelenko's hands even clasped together, and Salon suddenly smiled awkwardly on his face, "Me too. I don’t know how to decide, but His Majesty once told his subordinates that nothing is absolute. The more excellent the fighter plane is, it is like a meteor streaking across the sky. Once it passes, it will be difficult to see it again. Therefore, my subordinates believe that this plan has With a 60% chance of success, it’s worth a try!”

"At least 80%!" Dostelenko said nervously.

"I'm very happy. As the general with the highest position in our army, your cooperation is quite good!" The fat man took a slight breath and picked up the water glass on the table. Drinking water slowly, the two people's agreement was expected. According to Dustrunke's caution, how could he propose such a large-scale plan without saying hello to the two of them in advance?

In fact, this plan is good. Fatty was touched in his heart. He was afraid that the army and the navy would fight each other for merit. After all, the navy and the army have always been competing with each other. The strength of the army has always made the navy dissatisfied. The rapid rise of the navy also made the army feel dissatisfied.

This landing plan was proposed by the Navy, but it needed the Army to complete it. The dilemma lies here. If it is successful, should the merit be attributed to the Army or the Navy? This is what worries Fatty. It is better to recruit generals than to provoke them. If you want the army and navy to cooperate perfectly, this is the only way.

"Okay, since you all agree, this combat plan is temporarily named "Typhoon."" The fat man put down the water glass, looked at Dustrunkai who was looking happy, and said, "Give me a specific combat plan tomorrow. I must Personally review every aspect, don’t be too happy, if it doesn’t pass, the battle plan will still be cancelled! Okay, go ahead!”

"My subordinates understand!" Dostelenko quickly put away the smile on his face and left with the other two people. When the three left, the fat man picked up the blood letter on the table and looked at it. The handwriting It’s so confusing. You can see at a glance how confusing the situation was when writing the bloody book. It was chaotic. A group of strong men with big shoulders and round waists crowded together to learn how to write blood letters. This must have been suggested by Joseph, who was a pirate. A smile suddenly appeared on the corner of the fat man's mouth. The navy admirals are really very revengeful, but Isn't this exactly the navy I need?

Holding the bloody book in his hand, the fat man walked out of the study. The cold wind that came to him made his expression more and more excited. The navy is the backbone of defending the empire's sea areas, and it is a group of bloodthirsty wolves! A navy without ambition and revenge is probably worse than a watchdog!

I have been depressed for three days. Since the chapter of the Battle of the Northwest, I have so many things to think about. I suddenly don’t know where to write.
