Realm of Power

Four hundred miles southeast of Aden Sea, Luofan Sea

The sea water in winter is extremely clear. In the offshore areas close to the coastline, you can see large tracts of coral under the sea. It is like a huge beast lurking under the sea and may jump out of the sea at any time. In these huge coral groups In between, you can see the remains of many sunken ships. After being eroded by wind and waves, they have been completely surrounded by seagrass and coral, forming a larger coral area.

The sea water laps gently on the side of the ship, and everything is as calm as a blue carpet.

Imperial Navy Minister Dostelenko stood on the side of the Dragon Tooth battleship, staring at the Coral Sea and Luofan Sea below. Thirty-seven years ago, the Aden Navy and the Nansi Continental United Fleet launched a decisive battle for maritime hegemony here. , both sides dispatched warships The number of ships exceeded 470. It was the Aden Navy that was determined to expand, and finally, under the command of the Aden Kingdom Navy Commander-in-Chief Gude Yago, it severely damaged the South China Sea United Fleet here, opening the Aden Kingdom Navy to China and Belgium in one fell swoop. The gate to Asia

According to subsequent statistics, the Aden Navy lost 14,000 sailors and sunk 84 warships. The Nansi Continental United Navy lost 31,000 sailors and sunk 290 warships. After this battle, the Nansi Continent The naval force completely retreated to the coastal waters of the Nansi Continent. This sea area was also named Luofan by the Aden people, which means "Open Road" in Aden language.

In fact, this calm and beautiful sea area is dangerous in the eyes of navigators.

Due to the large number of corals and coral reefs, especially those extremely precious, charming, lustrous, crystal clear, warm and pleasant red corals, this kind of jewelry is the only living thousand-year-old spiritual creature that has confused the hearts of many people. It was once the South The main source of fine continental red coral is now owned by the Kingdom of Aden. Various luxuries of red coral are already the specialty of the nobles of the Kingdom of Aden. Many upright ministers of Aden have even repeatedly written letters asking the royal family of Aden to improve it. This extravagant trend prohibits the mining and trading of red coral. However, the stunningly beautiful red coral has indeed attracted the attention of too many powerful people, and has brought huge wealth to the Aden royal family. It is an important source of wealth for the Aden royal family. Instead of ordering a gravity strike, the royal family made the palace the largest coral collection. Most of the gifts given to other foreign royal families were mainly red corals, so much so that the Aden royal family was once called the red coral royal family by other foreign royal families.

"Sir, the news sent back by the Antras is that the target has passed through Masuo Bay and is less than thirty miles away from here!"

Adjutant Rashiam, wearing a black Imperial Navy uniform, walked up from behind with an excited look on his face, and reported to Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Navy Dostronkai, who was calmly looking at the sea. This energetic young officer of the Imperial Navy had There was a subtle vibrato in the voice, because this fish was really big this time.

On the calm and undulating sea, densely packed Imperial Navy warships were undulating with the waves. The Aden Navy, which was frantically looking for traces of the Imperial Navy because of the destruction of Aden Anxi, would never have imagined that the Imperial Navy did not continue to operate after the destruction of Aden Anxi. stranded in the Gulf of Aden, but along the Ding Haijun's blind spot, the offshore area quietly drove towards Central Asia. The Imperial Navy's target had been changed. The moment the false information was deliberately leaked to the Aden people, the Imperial Navy's combat target had been changed. The junction point between the Sea of ​​Aden and the Sea of ​​Central Asia, which people in Aden would not believe even to death

Mars Star Moon Bay

At first, the Imperial Navy only launched a raid on Mars Crescent Bay, which almost caused the Aden Navy to be massacred. But this time, once the Aden Navy knew that the Imperial Navy not only targeted Mars Crescent Bay, but also The main battlefield of this naval battle is set in Mas Xingyue. It is strange that the Aden Navy is not anxious and red-eyed.

The prelude to the war has truly begun. The Aden Navy is now like a mad dog. According to intelligence, the main force of the Aden Navy has been mobilized this time. Four naval fleets and more than two hundred Aden Navy warships have been launched just in the waters of the Royal Capital of Aden. , and the intelligence agency specifically marked it, including the Sea of ​​Aden Twenty-one heavy iron-clad ships built by the army specifically to gain naval warfare advantages. This heavy-duty iron-clad ship has a very strong defense and adopts a unique multi-chamber structure. Even if it is beaten into a hornet's nest, it will not sink. It is definitely an empire. The navy's explosive firepower is the natural nemesis of the navy.

"Sir, the target has entered twenty miles."

Half an hour later, the adjutant came in a hurry again. Imperial Navy Minister Dostronkai closed his eyes as if in deep thought. He did not give any orders, but his hands could not help but clenched into fists.

"Sir, it's fifteen miles away." When the adjutant arrived again, he saw Shangguan Dustronkai's eyes open.

"Have you noticed anything happening around the target?" Dostelenko asked.

"Nothing happened. The target didn't seem to know that he was being followed by our reconnaissance fleet." The adjutant's breathing was a little rapid and nervous. "And the Antolas did not find any trace of the Aden fleet following it when it passed by."

Hearing the words of the adjutant, Dostelenko's eyes opened, and his eyes were like daggers. He raised his hand to the adjutant and ordered, "Order the entire fleet to move southwest, target the fifteen-mile sea area, and prepare for battle!"

"Yes, understand!" The adjutant turned around and left. Dostronkai's naval flagship raised the flag, and the sails on the mast were quickly opened by the sailors, swelling into the wind, deliberately exposing the direction of the Imperial Navy's march. The best way , there is nothing better than launching a surprise attack, and this time, a very strange piece of information was sent from the emperor. Even the emperor himself could not confirm the authenticity of this information, so he asked the Imperial Navy to verify the authenticity many times.

This information stated that the Eighth Squadron of the Aden Navy had left Mas Xingyue Bay and was heading towards the Gulf of Aden along the offshore area. Along with the Eighth Squadron, there was also the Twelfth Army of the Kingdom of Aden. In view of the situation in Aden, The war was not going well and there was a shortage of soldiers, so the King of Aden transferred the 12th Army back to the Gulf of Aden from the Central Biya battlefield. The Twelfth Army of the Ding Dynasty is one of the main front-line battle groups of the Kingdom of Aden, with a strength of 20,000. It has served as a vanguard and opened the way for many times on the battlefield in China and Biya. In June this year, it broke through Xinjing in China and became the first army to enter China. Bia Xinjing's Aden Army, this is the Twelfth Army. Whether or not to take action in the end is entirely up to Dostelenko himself.

This was a huge adventure with equal costs and benefits. As the first person in the Imperial Navy and the most adept naval commander in the entire continent in assault operations, the emperor believed in Dostelenko’s self-judgment, and Dostelenko finally decided to take attack! If you just let such fat go by, you will be punished by God!

The sea is as calm as a mirror,

The 28-year-old young man, who was widely promoted by the Aden paper as the "rising star of the Aden Navy", stood proudly on the bow of the ship alone. The commander of the Eighth Squadron of Aden, Dansobyago, looked far into the distance and looked at it with a condescending look. With the Coral Sea at his feet, his handsome and resolute face had a look of longing and envy. He was deeply attracted by the beautiful Coral Sea in front of him. The people of Aden have a mysterious fascination with red corals, not to mention the sea battle that once broke out here, which is regarded as the era of Aden's naval hegemony. Such clear water and picturesque coral reefs in the sea

On the left side of the huge and orderly fleet advancing at a constant speed, he saw many rings composed of coral reefs. They emerged shallowly from the sea and were scattered and orderly around them to form an elliptical ring, as if they were thrown into the blue sea. A bouquet of flowers and a garland is like a string of white jade pearl necklaces scattered on the sea. The waves crash on the coral reefs, splashing broken white jade-like waves. In the eyes of the people of Aden, red coral is a harbinger of victory.

"It is said that there is a huge coral wall in His Majesty's study, and the entire wall is carved with a map of Obaro and the Gulf of Aden. Is this true?" asked a young voice, who was standing there. Behind Dan Sobuya was a young man with flaxen hair, wearing a general's uniform with silver cuffs from the Aden Army. He looked at the Coral Sea in front of him with a sharp look in his shining eyes.

"There is indeed a four-meter-high red coral wall. It was a gift given by the Navy to His Majesty on his thirtieth birthday ten years ago." Dansobya nodded and said, "It just looks a little off. Occupied by the Falcon Empire, your army can only go to Central and Bibia to expand its territory. The Navy Department is just in time this year I am considering whether it would be more appropriate to dedicate a new red coral wall, but to be honest, I envy your army for being able to roam freely on the battlefields of Central and South Africa, unlike our navy, which is entangled by the Imperial Navy in the southern waters of Central and South Africa. After a full year, the Imperial Navy still cannot be completely eradicated."

Dan Sobuya reluctantly licked his chapped lips. He really envied the Army. Last year could be said to be the most glorious year for the Army.

The Kingdom of Aden was promoted to the Empire, and His Majesty the King was promoted to the Emperor. The Army of Aden could show off its impressive achievements as a congratulatory gift, but the Navy was embarrassed. With the power of the Aden Navy, it was at war with a squadron of the Imperial Navy. After a year, not only Didn’t destroy this imperial sea that was like a thorn in the throat The military squadron in the southern sea area of ​​​​Biya almost took the most important naval port of Mars Crescent. Even the Navy Commander-in-Chief Gudeago had to take the blame and resign. The army reported success and conquered China. There are more than 100 cities in Biya, and it has expanded its territory and conquered almost Aden. How can the navy respond? Lost hundreds of battleships and more than 10,000 experienced sailors?

"Without the assistance of the Navy, it would be impossible for our Army to achieve such glory. Moreover, His Majesty did not have any harsh words for the Navy. This shows that His Majesty saw how the Navy fought bravely."

The flaxen-colored young man smiled and said, "Not to mention, this time His Majesty transferred the main force of the navy to encircle and suppress the invading Imperial Navy. I believe it won't be long before the news of the naval victory will come. By then, even Brother Gude Sir, you will also shed tears of joy, and the Aden Navy will become the veritable first navy under the sky."

"Haha, thanks for your blessing, I only hope that I can catch up with this event." Dansobya laughed loudly, his stern face bloomed as if spring has arrived, and he said happily, "I believe that domestic As for the army, it will also be because of your Excellency’s Twelfth Army. Returning to make better progress, the reputation of the Twelfth Army has reached your Majesty's ears. I heard that this time even the two armies of the royal capital have been launched. If your Twelfth Army can break the current deadlock, it may replace it. It is not impossible for the two armies of the royal capital to become His Majesty's favorites! "

"Haha, even if the two armies in the royal capital are very powerful, after staying in the royal capital for so many years, their true combat power is really hard to compliment."

The young general shook his head, with undisguised contempt in his tone. The two armies of the Royal Capital were well-known and were the most favored lackeys of the royal family. They were regarded as the iron-clad Wangdu faction, and his Twelfth Army was a local faction. Both sides It is a state that each of them looks down upon. A large army in the field is not a banquet in the royal capital. When two armies meet, the brave will win, and it will be fought with real swords and real guns. The trick of two armies in the royal capital will not work. If they directly pounce on the 20,000 imperial army, they will not let it go. The current domestic situation is so rotten that

"Sir, the order just received"

The communications adjutant who came quickly delivered a report from the army, handed it to the young general with both hands, and then immediately turned around and left.

"Is it about the southern battlefield?" Dansobya took a curious look.

"Probably." The young general looked down at the information and frowned. He heard that in the southern battlefield of Hero, hundreds of thousands of troops and 20,000 imperial troops barely faced each other. This is unbelievable even if you say it. It is really a shame. In the face of the Aden soldiers, they were invincible and unstoppable on the battlefield in Central and Biya. But in Asia The Ding Kingdom itself is afraid of the enemy, and it is unbelievable for them, the real Aden field troops, to lose their armor and armor. It is not a very shameful thing to receive such a report, and in front of the navy. , he opened the report in front of him with both hands, glanced over it, and his body trembled slightly

"Have the results come out on the southern battlefield? It must be a great victory. It can't be a great victory!"

Dansobya said curiously, because it is far away from the mainland of Aden, the news about the southern battlefield is now a chaotic dance of gods and demons, and there is everything. Some people say that although the imperial army only has 20,000 people, it is an elite combat force. One can defeat Aden. There are ten people, and some people say that the Aden army has not taken action because it is to conquer the emperor. The Japanese invading troops were wiped out in one fell swoop. Dansobya was also very curious about the truth about the southern battlefield. However, there should not be much suspense when hundreds of thousands of troops faced off against 20,000 imperial troops. Everyone was a soldier, so naturally they would not trust the imperial soldiers. They are all monsters with three heads and six arms, and it is even more impossible for one to fight eight of them! No matter how strong the imperial army is, can it still defeat hundreds of thousands with twenty thousand?

Seeing the young general's lips tightening and breathing rapidly, Dansobya's voice stopped. He glanced at the young general and carefully took the report. At the first glance, he took a breath of air and said, "Bossa Germany was defeated! Except for the Aden Fourth Army, nearly 60,000 people were wiped out! Oh my god, how could this be possible? Dan Sobuya felt his head go blank.

"Sir, a large number of ships were spotted approaching from the northeast!"

At this moment, the adjutant ran over and shouted in a panic. The urgent whistle suddenly sounded sharply, which was particularly harsh in the calm coral sea. It started with one whistle, then two whistles, three whistles... …Finally all the whistles connected into one The sharp whistle seemed to pierce everyone's eardrums. The Aden sailors who were taking a lunch break were immediately awakened by the sharp whistle and fell from their hammocks one after another. The lookout post on the mast was gesturing like crazy. , on the horizon in the distance, large white dots come with the tide
