Chapter 1613 comes just in time
The six cruisers destroyed eight battleships of the same tonnage at the expense of three of them, without losing any of them.
This battle report sounds horrifying, but actually considering the enemy's technical and tactical level, this is standard operation.
"Leave it to you."
After hanging up the communication, Alyssa handed over the task of cleaning the battlefield to the reinforcements who arrived later, and casually leaned on the comfortable seat of the captain's seat:
"Let's go back to Hong Kong."
Today's mission has been completed. The Swan will get a three-day holiday. During this period, other cruise ships will go out to patrol. They will be idle anyway, and they will change shifts to do this mission.
It seems that the situation on the front line is very relaxed, even a little too relaxed.
But Alyssa knew that the war was coming soon.
The Spinning Water Federation has indeed slowed down its advancement during this period. On the one hand, it is to ensure the stability of the supply line. On the other hand, it is also worried that the Red Maple Republic has any trump cards similar to time weapons, in case of a sudden sneak attack. The Spinning Water Federation cannot afford the loss of a massive defeat on the front line.
Therefore, the Spinning Water Federation did not advance in depth during this period, but cooperated with friendly fleets to encircle and expand the area of the occupied area.
The Red Maple Republic chose to trade for time, but the longer the time, the better.
Their wartime economy was on the verge of collapse. The fall of a large number of industrial areas also made it difficult for the Red Maple Republic to gather enough fleets. Forced conscription made the civilians increasingly dissatisfied with the government.
Against this background, the royalists and Princess Leia are still causing trouble internally.
According to the intelligence sent back by the agents, there have been many demonstrations and even violent protests in the Red Maple Republic. It is difficult to say whether the agents were involved, but the foundation of the country's existence has indeed begun to shake.
If we continue to drag this out, the Red Maple Republic will collapse without the need for a fight from the Swirling Federation.
Therefore, the Red Maple Republic must make adequate preparations and choose a suitable moment for the decisive battle.
And it's clear that the time is not far away.
The Xuanshui Federation has also caught wind of the news. Recently, when Alyssa returns to Hong Kong, she often sees a large number of new recruits who have only received simple training. The number far exceeds the previous rapid increase in troops.
The outcome of the decisive battle will directly affect the national destiny of the two countries. After this battle, it will be difficult for both sides of the war to continue launching large-scale offensives, regardless of winning or losing.
Alyssa believes that the next step is to negotiate and discuss post-war matters based on the outcome of the decisive battle.
However, the hateful propaganda that the Xuanshui Federation had carried out in order to recruit soldiers also began to backfire on itself, and the people were filled with extreme remarks that would completely wipe out the Red Maple Republic.
The problem is, there is no way to eliminate them completely.
Regardless of whether they have the strength or not, international pressure does not allow this. At the moment when the country is destroyed and the species is exterminated, the Constellation Alliance, which has always been neutral, should act as a peacekeeping force and kill them.
The current situation is actually a bit out of control. Civil war sentiments among the citizens of the Xianshui Federation are extremely high, but the senior officials know that peace talks will be held after the war.
But if the people don't agree, those who try to negotiate will be coerced by public opinion, and the situation will become more complicated.
Alyssa thought about these things for a while, and then chose to put them behind her.
She has not forgotten her duty. She is just a recycler. How to solve the problem between the two countries, how the royalists divide the cake and other things, Alyssa does not care. On the contrary, she feels that if the situation If it's messy, being a recycler should be very profitable.
Of course, the premise is that Alyssa must survive this war. Whether her starship is taken away or something that Li Chengqi cares about will be resolved in the war soon.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
The war on Alyssa's side is almost about to break out. Both sides are competing overtly and covertly, and are making every effort to prepare.
Although Viola is also fighting here, her style of painting...
I can’t say it’s not intense, I can only say it feels like traveling.
Viola adopts a strategy of advancing slowly and steadily, not only to ensure that every occupied territory is in her own hands, but also to reduce losses.
After all, the Demon King of Subia army had long been frightened out of their wits by Li Chengqi. Although there was no one who believed in the Demon King's religion to lead the way, facing a group of soldiers with no morale was really more difficult than traveling. Where to go.
The purpose of advancing slowly is to bring psychological oppression to the Subia Demon Kingdom army and give them time to escape. By then, Viola will be able to occupy the strategic location without spending a single soldier. The only trouble is that the country of Avarus seems to be in trouble. The newly recovered economy has once again slumped due to the dispatch of troops, and supplies are also very tight.
Viola's idea of occupying three provinces is probably unlikely to be realized.
Now, she was in a fortress with a view of the distant coastline. Looking back toward the land, she could see rolling mountains.
That is her next goal and the end point of this troop dispatch.
The domestic situation really does not allow the fight to continue. Viola's final goal is to capture the fortress at the pass below the mountain range. As long as it is captured there, the province currently occupied by Alyssa will be physically completely different from the Demonic Kingdom of Subia. block.
Of course, Viola is not willing to give in. After a few years, after the domestic economy improves, she may send troops again to conquer the imagined land.
Although Princess Flavia will definitely feel very bad during this period.
Speaking of Princess Flavia, the family secret room of the Subian royal family she provided is also in the mountains nearby.
"It's time to organize people to explore!"
Although Aldai's face remained expressionless, her tone revealed her mood when she said this.
That's very rowing.
Viola couldn't help but hold her forehead:
"My dear cousin, do you mean that you plan to go in person?"
"Absolutely. If I don't go, who has the ability to solve possible magic traps?"
The royal family of each demon kingdom actually has such things as family secret rooms, which are generally used to store back-ends.
For example, the capital for a comeback, or enough gold coins to allow the fallen royal family to survive in anonymity for the rest of their lives.
It's just that Viola's father died too suddenly, and Viola is not the first heir. She doesn't know where Avarus' secret room is.
But the family secret room is not a simple room, it is usually a huge underground palace, in which there are many traps prepared to prevent outsiders from invading.
This kind of trap can usually only be broken by members of the royal family, but Princess Flavia is powerless. If she is allowed to explore the secret room and something unexpected happens, Viola's invasion will not be morally just. .
"The royal chamber is never more dangerous than the mage's dungeon. In fact, I secretly visited the royal chamber in Osweia, and the level was only average."
"No, when did you go?"
"When I'm in the academic city, don't worry, I went there by myself, no one knows."
Messing around in this area will cause diplomatic disputes!
"You just need to consecrate Nemea a little later, and I will find another front rower to form a three-person team later."
Tiefling Nemea has been canonized as a knight and noble due to its military merits, and now it is just short of territory.
Viola plans to grant the occupied territory to these new nobles soon, and it seems that the time needs to be postponed.
"But where to find a suitable front row? There are not many people in the army who have adventure experience, unless you let the disciplinary priest accompany you."
As soon as Viola finished speaking, she heard a knock on the door.
Immediately, Zola walked in holding a document:
"Your Majesty, I need you to take a look at the next construction plan of the cathedral..."
Zola, who came by boat to ask for Viola's opinion, suddenly found Aldai and Viola looking at her with "it's you" eyes.
"Um...what happened?"
