Chapter 352

The east coast of the new world, the northern waters.

Forward island.

This is a desert island where birds don't shit, but it's less than 50 kilometers away from the Potosi islands to the north. You can even see the thick white fog surrounding Potosi from here.

So they were occupied by the hillius, who were far away from the base camp, and named "Qianjin island", which became the base camp for them to deal with Sark and Atlantis.

But there is another unexpected advantage to being here.

That's because it is located in a branch of the westerly warm current. Although it has entered the cold winter completely, the warm current prevents the hillius soldiers who are short of clothing and food due to someone's "robbing their families" from being directly frozen into popsicles...

"BAM BAM... It's so cold! I've begun to miss the damn steamer like tropics. "

Young private makaqi shrunk his neck to prevent the cold wind from pouring back so fast, and then breathed out a breath and turned into a white fog.

"Ha! Me too. "

"And... And those big ass atlian women!"

"Haha, haha..."

at this time, several soldiers were standing on the temporary observation platform on the island, carrying out the routine guard task.

But they were only wrapped in a few more layers of single clothes, and could not even see a little cotton wadding. It's hard to see that they are not warm at all, but they are full of thoughts.

In all the colonies of hillius, only the vice King District of La Plata had a real sense of winter, and only there were soldiers equipped with winter clothes, and there were some surplus reserves.

But most of the winter clothes they had prepared for the front-line soldiers had fallen into the pockets of faletis in the first supply line blockade.

The actual war is not a strategy game, and materials can not be generated out of thin air. It is not so easy to raise enough winter clothes for all front-line soldiers.

The "silver war" started in the late autumn, and now nearly two months later, it is the coldest time of the year.

Hoo -

Hoo -

the cold wind blowing from the eternal white land in the North seems to take away the last warmth of the human body through the cracks of the clothes.

Especially the inexplicable disappearance of a large number of supply ships and merchant ships some time ago.

Although the upper level timely made targeted response, adopted the form of cluster fleet, carried out large-scale transportation, which also seriously delayed the progress of the front-line war.

However, all kinds of ships lost during that period could not be made up in a short time, and the overall capacity of the supply line was inevitably seriously affected.

Especially after winter, all kinds of materials are consumed seriously, and the logistics has been seriously strained.

Not only the ordinary soldiers complained, but even the front-line commanders were in a dilemma.

On Qianjin Island, a temporary headquarters has already been built in a shelter.

At this point, the tent lit a fire basin.

The senior officers of the front fleet of hillius have been gathered.

Major general Alcott, the commander-in-chief, holding his command knife, asked in a deep voice to an officer sitting on one side:

"staff, how are you making your next operational plan?"

Wen Yan, the head of the general staff, had to reply with a stiff face: "commander, it's not that we don't try our best, but that we don't have enough backers to break the deadlock now!

In particular, the reinforcements in the vice King District of La Plata, which were scheduled to arrive a few days ago, have completely lost contact.

The series of attack plans we have worked out around the new class III warships can only be scrapped, and we can return to the stalemate

Since the beginning of the war.

The three sides successively assembled more than 60 warships at all levels to fight several battles on the sea near Potosi. Although hillius is dominant, it is impossible to eliminate the main force of the other side in a short time.

Moreover, with the delay of time, many disadvantages of their cross regional operations have gradually emerged.

There is no naval base nearby. The severe weather, logistical pressure, medical support, ship maintenance and repair, personnel repair and so on are the severe tests they are facing.

The officers and men of hillius, who are used to using various advantages to crush the enemy, have not fought such a humiliating war for a long time.

In particular, a powerful naval fleet headed by the "Starnberg" disappeared inexplicably, which made the senior officers on the front line a little confused.

They don't know whether these comrades in arms have encountered shipwrecks or unexpected enemy forces?

Accidents mean variables. If there are too many variables, the trend of the war will be out of control. In particular, it is not impossible to slide all the way to the abyss when there is a stalemate.

"And the war came in such a hurry that we went to the front line without any preparation except weapons.Limited to supply line capacity, there are not only insufficient winter clothing. Fresh food was rationed, and most of the soldiers ate bacon, peas, and oats that were storable in the tropics, and their morale gradually declined.

Maybe we can go to the "giant Cape fishing ground" and replenish some fresh food for ourselves, otherwise the soldiers will have problems before the war takes a turn. "

Later, without waiting for major general Alcott to inquire, the head of the logistics department also reported to him the dilemma he was facing.

Obviously.

From this point of view, tulip's supply line blockade tactics are still effective, and its contribution to the war in combination with the cold weather is no less than that of the two countries on the front battlefield.

The commander gave a gentle command knife on the ground and watched all the officers present make a conclusion for this meeting which is not a conclusion:

"up to now, our garrison in navidade is still fighting alone.

If the reinforcements of the colonies fail to arrive in time, the current stalemate may have been the greatest result we can achieve.

So, send our current situation back to the rear headquarters and request... "

but at this time.

"Report!"

The tent curtain was lifted, and an adjutant rushed in with the cold wind, bringing the latest orders from the rear.

"Hold the line, Admiral trivier will be at the front! The general attack is about to begin

Hearing the speech, the officers below looked at each other.

"Is..."

....

the cold wind blows in the north.

The sea of gold is sunny.

A fleet of only two warships is ready for launch at the naval base of Fort navidade on the east side of the isthmus of balvoya.

Although the number is only two, no one can underestimate their strength.

On the masts of these two warships are the same flag of hillius flame as ordinary warships, but their combat effectiveness is essentially different from that of ordinary warships.

Because they are two of the most powerful killers in the new world - quasi legendary warships!

One of them is a class III battleship, with a flag of general, Captain, lavender pattern of noble flag hanging on the bowmast, indicating its identity.

If Elvin can recognize it at a glance here, it is the quasi legendary warship "commander-in-chief" who once had unfriendly interaction with "storm horn".

After nearly two months of hard work, this ship belongs to the most powerful new hillius vice King area of the big killer finally came to the golden sea.

The other is also a class III battleship.

But just from the appearance, there is no difference between this warship and the standard class III warship of hillius. People can't see where its "legend" is at all.

But this warship is the vehicle of general trivier, the highest military officer guarding the golden sea and even the whole new world: "Styx jellyfish"!

At this time, the "Styx jellyfish" put up the Admiral flag.

The tall, iron tower like general stood in his command post, not far away from the captain of the close guard, and the captain of the ship, lieutenant general Adonis Osten, saluted.

With a relaxed look, it's like going on an outing.

Obviously, they are confident about the purpose of this trip.

That is to end the "silver war" and take the whole Potosi islands before the spring comes!

Action code: silver flash!

Originally, they didn't want to completely break the tacit understanding between countries and take the lead in using the semi legendary warship that is the final word.

But the stalemate of the war ahead made admiral trivier, the commander-in-chief of the new world Navy, feel the pressure.

Because at the beginning of the war, they made a promise to his majesty Philip II, who was far away from home:

they promised to present the first silver brick extracted from Potosi silver mine to him when the treasure fleet returned early next spring!

Moreover, the return of the fleet, which is related to the Kingdom's military expenditure and can never be suspended, is bound to weaken the military power of the new world and further break the balance of the situation on the front line.

In addition, the merchant ships that hillius accompanied with the treasure fleet also needed to hand over one fifth of the Kingdom's income, which was also an income that could not be ignored.

So, after seeing the fleet set sail for more than a month, they made the decision to go down in person.

The two quasi legends are enough to subdue Sark and Atlan. They may not even have to fight. As long as they show up, they have to give up the silver mine.

What's more, unless all the countries in the new world join hands, no one can make hillius abide by the rules!

With the signal flag waving, the two warships slowly left the port.

At the same time.

Admiral trivier took off a black spiral that never left his body and blew it with all his strength.

Du -

the sound of a loud spiral signal reverberates on the sea.Gulu Gulu...

a huge shadow more than 500 meters long, like a silent ghost, slowly emerged from the bottom of the sea.

It's a giant jellyfish, or rather a giant sea monster in the shape of a jellyfish!

[wild sea monster · giant species · Styx jellyfish]

it is also the strength of this level 3 ship, which is known as "quasi legend"!

The umbrella shaped head of this Styx jellyfish has a diameter of more than 60 meters, and its four wrists have reached 500 meters. It is a truly powerful giant species.

Generally speaking, as long as there is a large species of sea monster, it is enough to be called the lowest level "quasi legend", while the "Styx jellyfish" with a huge species is obviously not a weak one in the "quasi legend".

The spiral in the Admiral's hand is called "clarken horn" or "sea monster horn".

After he defeated and tamed the sea monster, he used the blood from the sea monster to engrave the name of Kraken on the surface of the spiral with extraordinary essence.

Then, a corresponding ceremony will be held under the condition of the sea monster's willingness: take a boat to circle the sea monster's body clockwise for three times, and then turn it counterclockwise for three times. Then, a general contract can be established to direct the sea monster's activities through this horn.

Only to defeat his master, of course.

As for what is sacred, some say that Kraken is the king of wild sea monsters, some say that Kraken is the mount of ancient sea gods, and some say that Kraken is actually the first sea monster tamed by human beings...

in short, although there are various legends, it will only take effect if the name is engraved on the horn.

That's why many sailors want to be sea monster knights.

Whimper -

the giant sea monsters that appear make a sharp sound with their unknown organs, and gently pull the two battleships with two wrists that look like countless rags.

And then it speeds up in an instant.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
