Chapter 735 The Support Fleet Arrives
Only five days have passed since the declaration of war. Chisong looked at a large area of land that turned into the color of Bunitalia, with only vicissitudes and exhaustion on his face.
In the past few days, Bunitalia's attacks have not stopped at all, and they are strange and changeable. Sometimes they attack steadily and step by step, and sometimes they advance by leaps and bounds and expand rapidly.
Today's Tokyo is already Bunitalia's rear area. Yokosuka Military Port, the place of counterattack, failed to block Bunitalia's attack and fell into the hands of the enemy under attacks from both front and rear. , the Yokosuka fleet suffered heavy losses, and all the ground troops that went to support were lost. Fortunately, the Wu fleet did not arrive in time, which was self-defeating and saved the spark for counterattack. It has now returned to Wu military port to rest.
In the direction of Ominato Naval Port, Wuhe and the Sasebo fleet successfully merged with the Ominato fleet and successfully repelled Bunitalia's attack. Ominato Military Port was saved, but... the dilapidated military port had lost its original appearance. effect, and it did not cause much damage to Bunitalia's army.
In the direction of Itsukushima base, Akamatsu gathered elite naval forces and prepared to destroy the Bunitaria fleet staying outside the maximum cordon in one fell swoop. However, as soon as the opponent discovered that Itsukushima's elite troops were dispatched, they began to retreat. Waiting for Itsukushima's Sakura Kingdom When the fleet began to return, it returned to its original position. It launched a pursuit and then began to retreat. It was simply shameless written on its face, without even trying to hide it.
Starting from Numazu, Mount Fuji, Fujiyoshida, Yamanashi, Okano, Ashikaga, Tochigi, Fukushima, and all the way to Miyagi are Bunitalia’s occupied areas. In just five days, nearly six In one-third of the land, the Ground Self-Defense Forces had no ability to resist at all. They would either be completely wiped out by the Knightmare forces in a very short period of time, or they would directly choose to surrender.
What made Akamatsu most helpless was not this, but the Hokkaido area. Cornelia's [Rose Witch] Knights directly parachuted into the Chitose base in Hokkaido, wiped out the defenders without any effort, and occupied They would use it as their own base and then slowly expand outward, or a three-machine team would go out and wander around, turning the entire Hokkaido area upside down.
Now it is no longer possible to organize an effective resistance force. It is just a piece of meat that will be eaten directly when the large army of the Bunitalia Empire arrives.
Once Hokkaido fell, the entire remaining territory in the northern part of Sakura Country fell into a two-sided attack. Even if Akamatsu had the ability to reach the sky, he would not be able to reverse the decline of Sakura Country, or he would lead the entire army to withdraw to the southern part of Sakura Country. , or be eaten by Bunitalia until no bones are left.
"Your Excellency General!"
"Is this bad news again?" Seeing the panic expressions of his men, Chisong knew that it must be bad news again.
"Yes...yes." The subordinate swallowed and nodded.
“Say it.”
“Bunitalia’s reinforcements have arrived.”
"Reinforcements? Where did the reinforcements come from?" Chisong was stunned for a moment. Unless the reinforcements from the Bunitalia Empire were transported by large-scale airlift, it would take at least half a month to arrive. If they were just reinforcements transported by air, it would be impossible for his men to arrive. It's such an expression.
“It’s [TEN]’s fleet. Clovis, the third prince of Bunitalia, personally led the two fleets to Yokosuka Military Port.”
“[TEN]’s fleet! What? Possibly? "
This shocked Chisong. Under normal circumstances, the lords of Bunitalia would not interfere in affairs outside the territory, unless the emperor of the empire personally ordered them to do so. Execution, even if other lords ask for help, it depends on whether the lord will answer or not.
[TEN] is almost a quarter of the world away from Sakura Country, and Clovis personally brought people to support, which shows how good the relationship between Yang Hui and Clovis is.
"Your Majesty General, what should we... do?"
"...How is the research progress on Knightmare?" Akamatsu asked.
Since Glasgow was replaced by Sunderland, various places have begun to change their equipment. Most of the eliminated Glasgows have been thrown into warehouses to be dismantled, but a small part has still been lost. Some people in the logistics department thought To make some extra money, the Glasgow that was gathering dust in the warehouse was sold on the black market, and then flowed into the hands of various countries.
Sakura Country naturally would not miss this opportunity, and spent a lot of money to get a few Glasgows from the black market, and then began to study Knightmare technology, because the whole world believed that the Bunitalia Empire had military power Being able to be so powerful is all because of Knightmare. Without the advantages of Knightmare, it would be nothing.
So, after Sakura Country got a few Glasgows, it invested huge manpower and material resources in research, hoping to develop Knightmare belonging to Sakura Country.
"...It's in progress. It's going well."
"It's going well? Haha, how good is it!? When will we be able to come up with the Knightmare that can compete with Bunitalia!?"
"This..."
"Haha, you bastards from the Kyoto Six Family!" Akamatsu yelled. Those Glasgows were bought from the black market with money from the Kyoto Six Family. Kyoto is the only one in the entire Sakura Country. Since the six companies can afford this money, it stands to reason that the development rights of Knightmare will fall on the six companies in Kyoto.
Since the beginning of the war, all the high-ranking officers who surrendered were members of the Six Families of Kyoto. Even a fool could see that they were hedging their bets. The only problem would be if the development progress of Knightmare could be accelerated! Even if it can be produced as soon as possible, Chisong will not let him know!
"Your Excellency General, should we... withdraw to the southern region?"
"Withdraw? Haha." Akamatsu glanced at his subordinates and smiled coldly, "The six Kyoto families will build the southern region with Kyoto as the center. They will become their empire, there... there is no place for us anymore.”
It was because of the defeat that the young warriors of Chisong’s group suffered an unprecedented blow. This retreat means defeat, once again. If the war is defeated, not to mention that Akamatsu has no way to survive, even the Young Heroes can only disappear. The entire Sakura Kingdom will become the world of those old bastards from the Six Families of Kyoto. Under their leadership, the Sakura Kingdom will only become Bunitalia. dog!
“But your Excellency, General, you can leave the green hills without worrying about having firewood.”
“…Go back to your post.”
"Yes..."
"Bang~!" The moment his men turned around, a gunshot rang out. He looked down at his chest in disbelief. His clothes were dyed red, and there was an extra one on his left chest. The cave is cool.
"General...jun..."
"Plop~"
Akamatsu looked at the body lying on the ground with cold eyes: "I have known for a long time that you are from the Sixth Family of Kyoto, come here!"
"General!" It was Akamatsu's security squad who rushed in. , are also his dead soldiers.
"Dispose of the body and announce that he is a spy of Bunitalia."
"Yes."
……
On the other side of the Yokosuka Naval Port, Yang Hui stood on the shore and watched the fleet in the distance getting closer and closer.
"Mr. Yang Hui, I have confirmed my identity. It is the [TEN] fleet led by Clovis."
"We are finally here." Yang Hui nodded and raised the corners of his mouth. .
In fact, two days ago, Bunitalia's troops stopped attacking across the board, for no other reason than because there were not so many people left.
The territory you have conquered is too big, and there are not enough people to take over it. You have to separate the offensive combat troops. The troops left before Cornelia left are already dwarfed by your original garrison troops. Even on the Hokkaido side, Cornelia can only guard one-third of an acre of the Chitose base, and no one will take over the land taken from outside.
[Nightmare] The Knights are also resting at the Yokosuka Military Port. They have fought countless battles and small battles. It is time to take a rest and recharge their batteries, waiting for Clovis to arrive and take over the northern part of Sakura Country in one go.
Soon, warships entered the port one after another, and Clovis slowly walked down from the flagship, with elegant steps and dignified posture.
"Don't think that you can show off in front of me just because you have been the governor for a few years. Come down quickly!" Yang Hui looked at Clovis's slow steps and couldn't help but complain loudly, otherwise , he really doubted that Clovis, which was just a few minutes away, was half an hour away!
Sure enough, when he heard Yang Hui's complaints, Clovis staggered and almost fell. After steadying himself, he ran over with a red face, grabbed Yang Hui's collar and cursed.
"Yang Hui! You bastard! As soon as you call me, I will bring people from [TEN] to help you fight the war. Even if you are not grateful, you still treat me like this! You are going too far! ”
"Uh uh uh... don't... stop shaking." Yang Hui broke away from Clovis's hands and took a few breaths of fresh air, "[Empire's Nightmare] didn't die on the battlefield, but was almost shaken to death by you, you Do you really want to go down in history?"
"Get out! That's too much!"
"Okay, I can get out, but give me your fleet first."
" Wow! Yang Hui! I was worried about being late and let them speed up, but you did this to me? I'll take mine! Go back together! Go fight your own battle!"
"Don't!" Yang Hui quickly put his arm around Clovis's shoulders and said intimately, "You're here, give me one! What a treat for you.”
"Really? How are you going to entertain me?" Clovis still held his head high, but his little eyes squinted at Yang Hui.
“A top-notch banquet in Sakura Country.”
“No interest! I’m leaving!”
“Wait a minute! The chaebol of Tokyo gave me many famous paintings. I heard that there is "The Picture of the Pine Eagle" by Kano Eitoku and "The Picture of the Eight Bridges" by Ogata Korin."
"Do you have the "Picture of the Beautiful Night Rain" by Suzuki Harunobu?"
"There should be, they are all in my warehouse, you can choose whatever you want."
"Deal!"
Regeni Rejeta beside him laughed and shook his head, Clovis's secretary , the adjutant even covered his face and was speechless. These two guys are not princes at all. They are just speculators on the street. This bargaining process is not too smooth.
"Let's go to my office. I'll take you to the Governor's Mansion tomorrow."
"No problem, this is Rear Admiral Neil, the commander-in-chief of the fleet. I will leave him to you. "Okay, you just have to look at the arrangements." Clovis also handed over the general power casually. He knew that he was not capable of commanding the fleet, so he didn't have to worry about it. He insisted on following this time, just to ask for help. It was enough for the outside world to send a signal that he was on Yang Hui's side.
