Chapter 605

When Conrad returned to Hydra palace with his body in his arms and full of resentment, the atmosphere of port Toulon was just like a giant bomb that ignited the fuse and could explode at any time.

In the open sea of port Toulon, a formidable naval fleet is swaying slowly and arrogantly.

Hundreds of battleships, hundreds of large cruisers and large frigates, all of which have their gun door baffles opened, revealing countless Black Muzzles.

These arrogant warships, just like holding a military parade on the sea, line up in a neat array and swim slowly on the sea. This kind of feeling is like a few bullies who are used to extortion, carrying knives and daggers, wandering back and forth in front of the bitter Lord's house, constantly exerting mental pressure. It's the same thing.

On the headlands of golden wool and silver bull in port Toulon, two new cannons have raised red flags.

In the loud sound of the horn, a huge mortar gun glided slowly to the gun position along the track on the ground. The well-trained artillery are shouting the bugle, using a special pulley crane to load a heavy and abnormal shell into the gun bore.

There is also a large caliber fortress gun sticking out of the fort, commanding the distant fleet.

But the fleet on the outer sea is very cunning, just stuck in the maximum range of all the heavy guns in the battery.

On the two large battery, there are senior technical officers with various kinds of instruments, constantly measuring the distance and speed of the open sea fleet, as well as today's wind speed, wind direction and so on.

The officers in charge of the two forts, whose forehead had been oozing sweat unconsciously, were lying on the large binoculars, looking at every move of the powerful and terrible fleet.

The two new turrets in port Toulon are commanding and undoubtedly have a huge advantage in range.

In terms of caliber, the biggest mortar guns of the two new fort have reached an astonishing 800 millimetres Such a huge gun, not to mention a single hit, even if it falls into the water near the warship, can cause fatal damage to those large battleships.

However, compared with the fleet in the open sea, the number of guns and the firing rate of the two new cannons fell behind.

There are hundreds of battleships alone, and each battleship has hundreds of guns.

Moreover, the firing rate of small caliber naval guns is at least ten times that of these large caliber fortress guns, and 20 or even 30 times that of super large caliber mortar guns

With the strength of this fleet, if the other side goes straight into port Tulun at any cost Two new cannons can't stop each other at all.

Once several battleships of the other side burst into the inner sea of port Tulun and launched artillery attack against the fort from behind Ha ha

Of course, there is also a sub fleet of the Imperial Navy stationed in port Toulon

But nobody took that sub fleet seriously.

Just a few dilapidated old battleships, the port of Toulon sub fleet, in front of the open sea fleet, are just children who have been beaten up. They will be bombed and sunk in a round of firefight to feed the fish.

It's in the eastern suburb of port Toulon.

In a hilly area full of colorful flowers, olives, grapes, figs and other cash crops, an army in dark gray uniforms has formed a volley array.

The number of this army is about the size of two full brigades, that is, about 11000.

In front of the long salvo array, a military band of 100 people beat the drums, making a neat, dense and exciting drum sound.

In the south of the army, about half a mile away, solid logs and steel components built a solid viewing platform. The long viewing platform was filled with dignitaries and foreign consuls from port Toulon, as well as commander and adjutant of the local fleet of the ice sea Kingdom, Dexter, and several naval observers.

Hessen, dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a big cigar in his mouth, grinned at the front of the viewing platform.

In front of him was a small square table with some contracts on it.

Opposite him was Barbara, a big, hairy man.

The two men were staring at each other across the small square table. Hessen was calm and steady. Babalia's forehead was bulging and his nostrils were enlarged. He was breathing hot air. He could jump over the small square table and beat Hessen at any time.

Lafayette, the third Archdiocese of the Golden Oak church, and several senior clergy, as well as the consuls General of the ice sea Kingdom, the Republic of Gaul, the kingdom of Saint heath, and the United Kingdom of nice, stood by the small square table and carefully examined the contracts on the table.

Before that, at the port Toulon naval club, Hessian, Duke Ross and DEX had broken up.

Hessen defied DEX to land the navy of the ice sea Kingdom and fight to the death with the imperial army.

DEX's response to this proposal There's no doubt about it.

And babalia is the initiative to jump out, followed by Hessian provocation.

"Well, Duke Hessen's bet is 100 million gold marks The Duke of Barbara, on the other hand, gambled with a large iron mine in the west of the Principality of Portland, near the border of the Empire. "Rafa's voice resounded throughout the auditorium: "empire of Deron, 11000 soldiers, decisive battle The winged cavalry of the three brigades of the Principality of Portland

"Please notaries review the duel contract. If there is no opinion, then Please sign and seal your name

On the platform, Frederick and Lucien, as well as a group of Frederick's staff, were also present.

Surrounded by his staff, Frederick lowered his voice and complained angrily to Lucian: "Dear Lucian, this feeling is very bad, very bad."

"There's nothing to do with the Navy, nothing to do with the Navy."

"Damn it They, they sent out such a powerful fleet And it's just part of their fleet But we can only sit here and watch A war is imminent, but we can do nothing. "

Lu Xian helplessly spread out his hands: "this is the status quo of the Imperial Navy, your highness. However, we have come to port Tulun just to change this helpless fact? Everything's going to be fine. Everything's going to be fine. "

"There will be new warships; there will be more warships; it's just a matter of funding."

"The Marine Corps we have formed has already recruited enough soldiers. As long as they complete training and have enough fighting capacity, they can occupy more colonies and plunder more wealth for us."

"Colonies Wealth Warships It will be a perfect resource cycle. "

Lucien comforted Frederick: "now, it's just the labor before childbirth, it's just the darkness before dawn."

Frederick pursed his lips and looked furtively at Tifa, who was sitting not far away, playing with his little mallet.

Damn it

If we can hook up with Tifa, the assets of the witu family will be enough to build a new fleet that is not weak.

Of course, Frederick already had a wife, and by blood, his wife was babalia's niece, who was signing a gambling agreement with Hessen.

But Frederick did not like his wife, who was born in the royal family of Lucia and was as tyrannical and savage as the Empire of Lucia.

He even appreciated Tifa, who had knowledge and temperament, and who was born and bred in the dren empire What's more, a native beauty with a rich father!

"The darkness before dawn Ah, it's really helpless. " Frederick sighed, "guess who will win?"

Lucian gave a soft smile.

"It doesn't matter who wins. This gambling war is just the prelude to the war The Duke of Ross and the Duke of Hessen should show off their force. And Barbara, he seems to have the same idea

"It's just a little fun before the war. It doesn't matter who wins."

Lu Xi'an's smile became very strange: "however, the news just came from the imperial capital, you will be very happy Magnum was imprisoned, and his arrogant mother did something very unseemly

Frederick's eyes suddenly brightened.

"Oh? Let's talk about it in detail, my dear brother. Hehe, what has he done? "

Tifa is playing with the mallet. Leia is sitting beside her and pinching Weima's ear with her hand: "Weima, sit quietly. It's not peaceful here today. Don't look at the guys nearby. They are all respectable. There are few good people in it."

After giving Weima a lesson, Liya turned back and asked a middle-aged man with a gloomy face and a very weak sense of existence in a low voice: "well, have you put all the money I have prepared and the gambling organized by those distinguished consuls?"

The middle-aged man nodded gently. His voice was like a mosquito humming. Only Liya and Tifa could barely hear him.

"Yes, mother The total bet is 200 million gold marks, which is cut into 127 shares, and each of them is bet by 127 relationships that have nothing to do with us. If we win the bet and deduct 100 million gold marks lost by the owner according to the current odds, our final profit will be about 230 million. "

Leia nodded her head gently, her mouth slightly raised.

"Try to get the list of bets We can bet ourselves to lose, but those big and small families in port Toulon, if they secretly bet on us to lose, they will find a way to concoct them one by one. "

Tifa's eyes widened and he looked at his mother in amazement.

"What do you mean?"

Leia smiles, reaches to Tifa's ear and whispers, "ah, dear Tifa, of course It's going to be a bad bet. "

"Originally, I was ready to float the 100 million gold marks."

"But since these unkind foreigners have made such a gamble with the endorsement of their national bank, let's play with them!"

Tifa lowered his voice: "we, will lose?"

Liya squinted: "I'm not ready to win this game Look at those soldiers. There are more than half of them. They are the felons who just got out of prison Do you think it's possible to win? "Tifa was stunned.

She took a deep look at her mother There are so many winding things in it?
