Realm of Power

"Did I see it wrong? The Empire is really not worried at all? No, absolutely not!" A trace of surprise flashed across the face of Special Envoy Ero, and after a few thoughts in his mind, he quickly calmed down. No matter how good the Empire is at fighting, how could it not feel any pressure in front of the nearly 500,000-strong Southern Coalition Army! Special Envoy Ero believed that this was a means for the Falcon Emperor to pretend to be calm and play negotiation skills, and the purpose was naturally to gain the upper hand in this negotiation. The refusal of the Falcon Empire Emperor made Special Envoy Ero feel contempt in his heart. I only believe in practical things! Frankly speaking, I am very interested in the Robensu area on the east coast," the fat man paused and said coldly," Robensu area! This is impossible! "

Ero's envoy's face changed, and his nostrils twitched in anger. The Falcon Empire's request was too much. No wonder he was so angry. The fat man mentioned Robensu, which was located in the northeast of the Kingdom of Aden. It was the largest seaport of the Kingdom of Aden on the east coast. The problem was that the Ero Empire also had its eyes on this seaport. Even for Robensu, the Ero Empire and the Kingdom of Aden fought a war, with tens of thousands of casualties on both sides. In the end, the Aden people compromised and the Ero Empire was willing to spend one million gold coins a year to lease the port from the Kingdom of Aden for thirty years. Such a port was obtained with blood and money. , how could it be given away so easily!

The fat man laughed indifferently. He was indeed very interested in this Robensu Port. Geographically speaking, Robensu was located in the northwest of the Kingdom of Aden. Occupying Robensu was equivalent to opening the door to Aden. If the empire wanted to show enough strength to make the south completely surrender after defeating the southern coalition, it would be best to sail the imperial navy fleet into Robensu Port and look down on it. Suppress Aden, the strongest in the south,

But now Robensu was occupied by the Ero people, so the fat man wanted to test the attitude of the Ero people and said in a serious voice, "The war between the north and the south has reached this level. To be honest, the southern coalition is not in my eyes. It's just that the Ero Empire wants to share the victory so easily, and there is too little intention, so there is nothing to talk about! And I believe that the special envoys sent by Ero will definitely not be just from my Falcon Empire."

"Your Majesty, please be cautious." Special envoy Ero was slightly shocked and embarrassed. Indeed, this time Ero sent special envoys to both the Falcon Empire and the coalition forces. On the one hand, he expressed his intention to unite with the Empire, and on the other hand, he also bet on the coalition forces. This kind of thing is clear to everyone, why point it out in person! Anyway, all the conditions will not be fulfilled until after the war. If you are not the winner, it will be a blank check. If the Empire loses, there will naturally be no more cooperation. Similarly, if the coalition forces lose, , the conditions agreed to by the coalition forces are just a piece of waste paper. Anyway, no matter what the final result is, Ero can easily share the benefits on the winning side.

Originally, it was thought that the Empire should be easier, but the Empire actually wanted Robensu Port, which made Ero's envoy speechless. Didn't the emperor of the Empire see the situation clearly? Now it's not Ero who asks the Empire. It's the Empire that asks Ero. The encirclement of the Southern Coalition has been formed. Without the help of the Ero Empire, the Empire's 200,000 troops in the Istanbul region will be dead. "Although we also hope that the Empire will win, the situation is already there. We are also for the good of the Empire."

Resisting the strong dissatisfaction in his heart, Ero's envoy took a deep breath and simply pointed out, "The Southern Coalition Headquarters is about to arrive at the Istanbul Kyoto Plain. The 200,000 troops of the Empire will be caught in a pincer attack. Isn't Your Majesty worried at all? If I, Ero, can stop the coalition's advance, the Empire can calmly withdraw from the pincer attack area..." "The Empire has no plans to withdraw! Your Excellency is a little too worried! "The fat man waved his hand rudely to interrupt the words of Envoy Ero, and smiled coldly, "Since Your Majesty thinks so, there is nothing I can do! "Ero's envoy finally couldn't help it and turned away angrily. This arrogant emperor should have waited until the 200,000 troops of the empire were defeated before talking. At that time, the emperor would know that without Ero's help, the empire couldn't even withdraw the remaining troops, let alone gain a foothold in the Istanbul region.

Ero's envoy just walked up to the carriage parked downstairs, and the Minister of Imperial Affairs Hukoqili knocked on the door from outside with a hint of surprise on his face. As the Minister of Imperial Affairs, Hukoqili certainly knew that Ero's envoy was coming. Just now, when he saw Ero's envoy leave so angrily, he knew that the emperor must have rejected Ero's request. He put the list of the first batch of transport troops in his hand on the fat man's table, hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, according to the news, Ero also sent a special envoy to the coalition this time." "It's expected, and I believe that the coalition will soon know that the empire rejected Ero's request."

The fat man flipped through the list he had put down, his expression unusually calm. He would not tell the Eero people that the defeat of the Southern Allied Forces was already doomed when its base camp advanced towards Kyoto, Istanbul. The Southern Allied Forces' strong force was wiped out by the Empire. There are still 500,000 troops to fight, but the troops the Emperor is about to invest are also of this number. The Southern Allied Forces are still dreaming of attacking the Emperor from a flank. Unexpectedly, four days later, the 100,000 emperor would land at Port Truny. This knife in the middle would overturn the entire battle situation. At that time, the Southern Allied Forces would have no idea to attack the emperor from a flank, and he let Ruitang Tingna's 50,000 emperor. The Dongting cavalry entered the battlefield in advance, and together with the Hungarian cavalry, the number was 100,000. Even if the main force of the southern coalition wanted to turn around and return, there would be no such chance. "Well, what does your majesty mean?" Hu Keqili's eyes flashed. Hu Keqili knew very well about his master's ability. How could it be so simple as to simply refuse? The atmosphere of conspiracy here is too strong. , outsiders could not detect it. Hu Keqili, who had followed Fatty for many years, seemed to see the Ero people even with his eyes closed. It looks miserable. "Don't worry, the Erro people will come again. As the news of our rejection of Erro spreads, Erro will no longer have a foothold with the Southern Allied Forces." The fat man turned over the list and looked at the list, with a slight smile on his lips. He raised his head, showed a sly smile, and said in a solemn voice, "The Ero people can hedge their bets because the coalition forces are afraid of Ero and the Empire." Join forces, but now. It's another matter that Erro was rejected by the empire. The six southern countries have already felt very unhappy that the Erro Empire did not join the coalition. Now there are rumors of secretly conspiring with the empire, and the Southern Alliance is talking about it. No idea, how is it possible, let alone let such a wallflower share the fruits of his victory? At that time, in order to protect themselves and prevent the Southern Allied Forces from targeting them for retaliation, the Ero people will have no other choice but to ask us for help! If we talk to them then, there will be nothing we can get! "Also, who do you think will be the most likely country to block the empire's southward advance after the defeat of the Southern Allied Forces?" The fat man paused. He continued, "That's it, my subordinates understand!" Hu Keqili's face was shocked, and he showed a look of surprise. Unexpectedly, His Majesty Falcon just played a trick lightly, and the Ero people were deceived, and they seemed to be deceived. It's quite deep, as His Majesty Falcon said, as long as the empire shows its attitude of rejection. You can't play with the double-dealing of the Eros, either. The Southern Allied Forces were defeated and it was the Eero Empire that had preserved its strength to prevent the imperial forces from moving south. Although the two sides may become cooperative by then, both sides knew very well that cooperation was only a matter of interest. They will never hesitate when they fall out. The Eero Empire, which has retained its greatest strength, is taking the opportunity to sweep the south and become the real hegemon of the south. How can it be willing to let the empire's power spread to the southern part of the inland sea with the help of this victory? His Majesty Falcon's move was quite vicious. It not only allowed the Six Nations to transfer all the hatred of their defeat to the Eero Empire, but also made the Eero Empire too tired to deal with it when the time came. There was still the ability to stop the empire from moving south.

But this is not what he needs to think about now. He is here to say goodbye. His Majesty Falcon has given him the command of the Luni Port Landing Corps. He will soon go south with the transport fleet to join the battle that will determine the entire Obarro. The decisive battle of fate. Fortunately, I will be the core of this decisive battle. I am destined to be famous in the history of Oparo. As a soldier, is there anything more glorious than this? "Go then, Hu Keqili!" The fat man stood up, signed his name on the attack list, handed it to Hu Keqili, and warned, "The battle of Barrow in southern and southern Europe, the life and death of nearly a million troops, this time The key to the battle depends on whether you can quickly cut off the middle part. "Don't worry, Your Majesty, your subordinates will definitely complete it!"

Hu Keqili nodded excitedly, took the attack list from the master, turned and walked towards the door. After Hu Keqili left, the fat man took out a document from the desk drawer with a serious expression. The document was delivered yesterday. , from the Eastern Province of the Empire, pulled out the document, and an attached drawing. The signature at the bottom corner of the drawing is the Governor of the Eastern Province of the Empire,

Hayera, the former number one general of the Istan Empire, is indeed a living map of the Istan region. In this document, Hayera put forward a suggestion. From the map, the Feshan region and the Eastern Expedition The structure of the province is a protruding peninsula, like an inverted U-shape. The largest reef area in the entire Obaro region is the Anlei Island Chain. Like a huge chain crossing the sea areas of three regions, the Anlei Island Chain is a large reef area with countless small islands. It is thirty miles long and is the end of the continental shelf of the entire northern continent of Obarro. It's like a shelf spanning three areas. There are even rumors that people once walked across these islands and reefs when the sea was at low tide.

Hayera, who was still an important minister of the Istantian Empire at the time, only after hearing this rumor, did he propose a fantasy military attack route to the Istanbul Emperor Thoradin I, which was to use a pontoon bridge to connect the mainland of Istanbul with the Dongfang Province and Feishan are connected. As long as they can cross the hidden mine island chain, the small islands and reefs between Dongfang Province and Feishan will not be a problem.

In this case, the army of the Istan Empire can directly reach Feishan through these reef islands and cross the Helena barrier built by the Feshan people. Not only will it save hundreds of miles of road, but it will also be able to kill the Feshan people by surprise. He was caught off guard, but this battle plan was eventually rejected by Thoradin I. The reason was very simple. No one could survive the powerful battle. Under the nose of the Feishan Navy, Thoradin I's judgment was correct as he crossed these reef pontoons. The Feishan Navy kept its eyes on these offshore island chains at all times, and even built simple structures on six of the small islands. observation point, but now, such problems are undoubtedly gone. The Imperial Navy controls the entire sea area. Hayera thought of this suggestion again,

For the Empire, the technology for erecting pontoons is already very mature and only needs to be dealt with in some deep water areas. The battleship pontoons demonstrated by the Imperial Navy in several battles can completely restrain these areas and shorten the journey of hundreds of miles to Within a few dozen miles, the time for the Imperial Army to arrive in the Istan area will be greatly shortened. However, this kind of thing is only based on theory after all. Who knows what the real situation will be!

"How do you think this is possible?"

The fat man found the Imperial Navy Logistics Fleet Commander Losek, who had just been questioned by the generals and had a helpless face, and handed the plan to Losek. This master-level talent in logistics was originally transferred from the Navy Ministry. Just for this matter, introducing naval transportation to the generals is only secondary. What is really needed is that this logistics master can achieve a few percent of this plan, with hundreds of thousands of troops. It is unrealistic to rely entirely on this method, but sending tens of thousands of elites forward in advance can have an inestimable effect on the entire battle. Fatty still doesn't know that Ruitang Tingna has launched an active attack in the Istan area, let alone Knowing that the entire Southern Allied Forces base camp was like a bear stung by a bee, it had stopped approaching Istanbul.

This... is impossible to succeed! "After reading Hayela's plan, Losek compared it with the attached drawings, and said with an ugly face, "I don't know who proposed such a plan, but it is definitely not someone who is familiar with the ocean. It seems possible to lay a pontoon bridge, but it is actually very difficult. The sea water rises and falls differently, and there are also waves. The people on it can travel hundreds of meters or maybe dozens of miles. It would be great if only one person out of a hundred people can arrive. Not to mention that the soldiers were heavily armored and falling into the water would mean death! Without armor, what will the soldiers do with them when they arrive? "

"This is indeed too unexpected!" Fatty sighed inwardly. Losek was right. Such a reef pontoon is unreliable and has too many uncertain factors (to be continued...)
