Chapter 696 Temporary main battle team goes north
At 9:00 a.m. on January 12 in the fourth year of Tianxuan, Sylvia Ocean and Fuer Swamp led a provisional naval main battle team composed of 550 warships to set off from the outlying island naval port, passing through Yidao, to Island, heading towards Yancheng Port.
Qu Mao stood on the east wall of Yi Town, using a binoculars to watch Sylvia Ocean's provisional naval main battle team go north to stop the second invasion fleet of the Mughal Empire.
Seeing the majestic and magnificent temporary main battle team sailing by, Qu Mao was deeply moved. The last time the Mughal Empire invaded the fleet was only 3,000 warships, but the people who saw them off felt that "the wind is rustling, the water is cold, The heroic man is gone and will never return".
But this time, 550 warships of the Navy's temporary main battle team went north to block the second invasion fleet of the Mughal Empire composed of 8,000 warships. Even the vast majority of people did not see them off, and it was generally believed that Sylvia Oshen led the temporary main battle team of the navy to go out for a cruise.
The last time the sailors on the Sylvia Ocean warship participated in the battle, their expressions were dignified and their hearts were disturbed, but this time they were also participating in the battle on the Sylvia Ocean warship. When passing Yidao, many naval soldiers were still standing on the deck, waving to Yidao.
However, Qu Mao also felt that this should be the case. After just a few months of development, the navy of Yizhen Territory is no longer what it used to be.
Although the temporary main battle team led by Sylvia Ocean has only 550 warships, it includes 450 super warships and 100-year-old new warships. There are as many as 1.45 million naval soldiers on board. It is definitely considered an elite navy. Among the elite.
This temporary main battle team of 550 warships alone is far more powerful than a huge fleet of 5,000 small warships.
Originally, there were still a large number of refitted giant warships in the territory of Yi Town that could be incorporated into the temporary main battle team, but Sylvia Ocean and Fur Swamp despised the speed of the giant warships as they sailed too slowly, so there was not even a single one. bring.
But are giant warships slow? Compared with large warships, medium warships and small warships, giant warships also sail very fast, but compared with super warships and new warships, the speed is not enough.
Of course, both Sylvia Ocean and Fur Swamp have heroic treasures to speed up the fleet's sailing speed. Going north to stop the second invasion fleet of the Mughal Empire is also a task that requires relatively high speed. Sylvia · It is also reasonable for Ocean not to install refitted giant warships.
This time, Sylvia Ocean did not ask Christian Sirian and Shanks Reid to participate in the fleet going north to stop the second invasion fleet of the Mughal Empire, but the second-line naval hero Sylvia Ocean did. I brought several of them with me, mainly using the backpacks of these second-line naval heroes to load food and expendable strategic materials.
Qu Mao kept watching the provisional main battle team of the navy until the last warship of the temporary main battle team of the navy disappeared from the field of vision of the binoculars. Then Qu Mao silently left the gate building in the east of Yi Town and returned to the lord cabin.
Su Yan is also one of the heroes who did not see him off. Seeing Qu Mao return to the lord's hut, Su Yan helped Qu Mao take off his coat and said, "My lord, Sylvia and the others have already passed through Isle of Yi?"
Qu Mao nodded and said: "Well, I just passed Yidao, and I should be able to reach the waters near Yancheng Port when it gets dark today.
Although night combat is Sylvia Ocean's strong point, according to the current sailing time and speed, it may not be exactly dark when he encounters the second invasion fleet of the Mughal Empire.
However, I think Sylvia Ocean will control the time well and control the time of the encounter to tomorrow when it gets dark.
It’s just that I’m not sure, how long will it take Sylvia Ocean to completely defeat the 8,000 warships of the Mughal Empire’s Second Invasion Fleet with the current temporary main battle force composed of 550 warships? "
Subordinates would rather Sylvia play steadily and not rush to win. At most, it would take more time, and it would be best if we had no losses at all. "
Qu Mao nodded silently, and said: "Su Yan, you are right, that night I shouldn't let Sylvia fight me a good fight to deter Mo Yangqiao.
It was only at 6:00 p.m. on January 22 that troops were dispatched to the Principality of the Kingdom. It is only the morning of the 12th, and there are about ten days. If you don’t want to be quick, you will have no problem fighting the second invasion fleet of the Mughal Empire for a week. The battle time will be extended. By 1 week, it is possible that Sylvia Ocean's temporary main battle team will not have any losses.
But to come back, you only need to defeat the remaining 1,800 warships of the Anti-Yizhen Alliance, and the task load is not very large.
I hope Sylvia and Fuer can understand that the task is not big, so don't rush for success. "
Su Yan said: "My lord, there is no need to worry too much, Sylvia can definitely arrange it by herself.
It’s just an adult, a permanent naval military base will be built in the reef chain in the future, and the subordinates will go to the Liuwang Principality to lead troops to restore the Tassel Principality, and the affairs in the territory..."
Qu Mao said: "It's okay, you go to restore the country, there are me and Kong Ming in the territory."
Su Yan said: "My lord, you and Master Kong Ming are in control of the overall situation, so there is no problem. But some details can't be left to you and Master Kong Ming to do it yourself, right?
Qiaoer told me a few days ago that she wanted to go back to the country together, and her subordinates advised her to stay..."
Qu Mao said: "Su Qiaoer, don't go there in such a hurry, wait until the general situation of your battle in Prince Liu is confirmed, and then Su Qiaoer will leave the territory of Yizhen.
Moreover, it is impossible for her to directly enter Liuwang Dukedom from the beginning, at least she has to deal with the construction and security matters in Yizhen's territory before she can leave.
Let’s go with Kong Ming and me as a preliminary plan, and you can tell her. "
Su Yan said: "Okay, I will make an agreement with Qiaoer, the arrangement is more suitable for adults."
Qu Mao said: "Before Sylvia is far away, you can contact Sylvia and tell her about what we just discussed. Although I have full confidence in Sylvia and the navy, I am afraid that Sylvia will Sylvia was affected by my request for a good victory, which caused the Navy's temporary main battle team to pay too high a price."
Su Yan nodded and said, "Yes, my lord.
Subordinates should also notify Li Huamei to arrange 100 warships and 300 troop carriers to follow Sylvia's fleet and be responsible for salvaging some prisoners of war for backup.
The Liuwang Principality has been in war for years, and the population has dropped sharply. After the subordinates return to the country, they may need to migrate the population back from the territory. "
Qu Mao said: "This is a small matter, you can arrange it yourself."
