: 1601 Gaul Winter (3)

"Papa" the huge dragon-class battleship's bow was heavily pressed, a piece of offshore ice was knocked into two pieces, and a white offshore gull flew from the sail mast that was bulging into a hemisphere. Under its slightly panic gaze, in the misty early morning white fog, countless warships sailed out like huge whales in the sea, and the narrow bow like a triangular knife split the calm of the waves, the huge ship Brutally squeezing the sea water to the sides, slapping on the side of another battleship, forming a white foam,
　　
On the east side of the sea, a golden and warm sunlight is shining, and the red flag hanging on the top of the battleship is also clear. It is a golden falcon with wings spread, claws dancing, eagles looking around, With a domineering disdain for everything, countless battleships, like razors, dragged hundreds of spectacular white water marks on the sea, the fleet traveled fast or slow, and it felt like it was on a smooth surface Moving, the lights of the fleet have all been turned off, and the sky has gradually become clearer,
　　
At a position 30 nautical miles behind the Falcon Navy, the attitude of the non-Navy fleet is still like a group of fierce wolves biting the tail of the prey, posing a spindle array that uses assault, so that it can effectively respond to the sudden turn that the other party may initiate. It also allows the fleet to maintain an aggressive attitude during the attack
　　
But if you can talk about the distance, you will find that this is not the case. I saw the huge staggered battleship decks, and countless non-navy sailors lay on the deck in exhaustion. Although the momentum was full, they were just The queue of the non-naval fleet is no longer as compact as the beginning. The fleet is completely maintained by a rigid inertia. After a night of nervous and boring navigation, the fatigue state of the non-naval fleet is becoming more and more obvious. The ship on the podium Chang has given up his initial standing state, but lie on the table unassumingly, and the sailors are also swaying,
　　
The combat readiness command has lasted for 15 hours, and it has not been lifted until now. For the countless officers and men of the Gangfei fleet, the length of the combat readiness command has exceeded the limit of their willpower. According to the military regulations of the Gangfei Navy, the combat readiness In the state,
　　
From the commanding captain to the sailors below, everyone must stay in their posts. The crazy attack that the enemy fleet can launch at any time. For this reason, all night, all people did not close their eyes, even if they could stand Asleep, the sailors insisted on the deck, the captain stood firmly on the podium, there was no way, no one knew what would happen in the pursuit of the night,
　　
In naval operations, wind direction, flow velocity, and even visibility may become an opportunity for the other party to reverse the entire battle in one fell swoop. In particular, the other party still defeats the powerful opponents of the Fourth Fleet and the Third Fleet in one fell swoop, and all the nerves have collapsed to the extreme. Fleet admirals and sailors are preparing to fight every moment until the sun rises and everything is calm as usual.
　　
"It seems that the other party's eager fleeing heart has completely blinded their eyes! It is really God's help, as long as there are three hours, everything can be over." Fleet Commander Hobro's old back, holding the ship's side in hand , With bloodshot eyes looking at the little black dots in the distance, his face was full of indifferent haggard and relief,
　　
　　 In order to put pressure on the opponent, he ordered the entire fleet to adopt a state of combat readiness to force the enemy not to turn at will,
　　
　　 The blocking fleet has gone to the rest of Port of Reston. According to the current speed of the enemy, the blocking fleet should have thrown away a large part of the enemy. At this time, you only need to follow closely and wait for the other party to fall into the trap.
　　
　　 At this moment, Hobro suddenly had an urge to laugh, and even the cunning prey could not escape the trap of the old hunter. The other party was so exhausted that in the face of the sudden attack of the blocking fleet, it should be a mess in no time! By the time. . . . . . .
　　
"Adult, let's take a break! After all, your age is different from those of young people. And before going abroad to fight, your wife has also deliberately explained that your body is not suitable for staying up for a long time!" The old adjutant Ferry interrupted Hobro's intention with a voice of concern
　　
"Old friend, you should know that now is the most critical moment." Hobro turned around helplessly. "I must make sure that all of these guys are rushed to their destination, so that we can guarantee the end of the whole plan. At the first blow, the old friend in the mouth of the tower was his adjutant Perry, 43 years old. He graduated from the Gangfei Imperial Naval Academy at the age of 20 and served as the adjutant of the then 35-year-old fleet commander Hobro. The two have worked together 23 years, both upper and lower ranks, and best friends
　　
"Maintain sufficient physical strength in order to be able to better command the battle, but this is what adults often talk about!" The adjutant Ferry does not seem to compromise, he knows his boss's temperament, he is almost 60 , Like a 20-year-old young man, had a history of fainting and fainting on the podium because he was too tired. Now, although his mouth is tough, his slightly trembling shoulders and his pale face Just like a piece of paper, it indicates that the commander-in-chief of the imperial navy is holding here with the cost of burning his life
　　
"As a navy, every moment of sailing in the sea is to fight!" Hobro smiled slightly at the adjutant with white hair in the same temples. "This is a young man who came to report that year. What I said in the book, after many years, I still remember it! Never forget!"
　　
"The young man has grown white hair, and the fleet commander who was scared to death is also old. If he still treats himself like a young man, his body will not be able to eat it!" Admiral Ferry was unimpressed. Instead, he said in the tone of Hobro's wife, Tiffany
　　
"Madam deliberately confessed that if the adult passed it and would not take a rest for an hour, let me take out the sword and force you to lie down. I believe the adult would not want to appear again because of being too tired. The situation of the fainting on the podium, as the adults said, the war is imminent, the commander-in-chief fainting in the command of the operation is a very troublesome thing. There are still three hours away from the port of Reston, and the adults have time to rest. a bit"
　　
　　 "Okay, okay, isn't it just an hour's rest, can't I go?" Hobro's mind flashed in the old wife's concerns, and the strong heart finally had a hint of compromise,
　　
　　 In fact, he also felt that he was exhausted to the extreme, and even walked a little, and there was a lot of mud in his mind, which really affected thinking! Hobro dragged his tired body into the rest room and lay weak on the bed.
　　
　　I don’t know why, I’m obviously tired of thinking about anything, but the rolling thoughts in my head are always not calm, raising my hand to pull the curtain of the cabin, Hobro’s eyes condensed on my hand.
　　
　　 "Is this my hand?" Hoblow's blood-red eyes rarely flashed a trace of confusion. Forty years in the army, this is his first discovery. His own hands have become so old. The protruding joints, loose skin, meandering blood vessels, and the abominable age spots,
　　
　　 It looks so strange! Hobro sat up in bed halfway, looking at his hand, which was so young and full of vitality more than thirty years ago. Always trim clean nails, slender and strong fingers, and flexible joints...they used to be light and gentle on the huge battle chart of 3 meters wide in the war room of the fleet for two consecutive days and nights Draw lines powerfully, marked with data, conquer the enemy firmly, and also conquer the other side of the chart, the emperor who is watching with a smile. They used to be able to wield wind-swords and pierce the hearts of the great pirate leader of the Imperial Caravan, Ruijiao IV, but now they have become so old that they have been shaking for ten nights. The fingers are resisting, showing a sense of powerlessness that cannot be resisted.
　　
　　 "Old! Is that true!"
　　
　　 Hobro finally closed his eyes unbearably, leaning on the bed, the corner of his mouth trembling, and a wry smile of irony. He had to admit that he was old, and all the organs on his body were gone. He thought back to it forty years ago,
　　
The self graduating from the military school went to the moment when the Imperial Navy Department reported it. At that time, he was wearing a straight officer uniform, sitting in a carriage, watching the soldiers lined up on the training ground outside the window. The stairs leading to the Admiralty, stepped up, listening to the tidy footsteps and slogans coming from behind, at that moment, thinking that the whole world is at their feet, young and proud officers, flickering, everything is like a cloud of smoke, Young people admire the glory of the older generation, but why don't the older generation envy the youthful vitality!
　　
　　 A thunderous sound resounded through the sea instantly, and the ship's cabin shook violently. It seemed to have encountered a violent impact of something. The chart on the table fell to the ground with a whimper.
　　
"What's going on?" Hobro was awakened by his voice~EbookFREE.me~ He opened his eyes vigorously. He couldn't determine whether he was sleepy or had tinnitus, but it was like a sky thunder The sound came from, this time it was much louder than before, and it was also much denser.
　　
　　 "Bump!" There was an eager knock on the door, and there was some panic from the adjutant Ferry, "Commander, the enemy fleet suddenly turned! Killed us directly."
　　
　　 "What!" Hobro jumped out of bed at once, how could the enemy turn, less than 3 hours away from the destination, the other party should speed up to the destination, why suddenly turn? He ran to the side of the ship and saw a warship erected at the front of the queue. It was instantly blown up and the left wing was smashed. The huge mast with a height of 20 meters was smashed down in the sky and the hull of the unpowered ship swayed. On the surface of the sea, the local battleships were suddenly stunned by a sudden blow, and they turned quickly to avoid collision.
　　
　　 "Booming" flames were mixed with billowing black rocks, and a more intense explosion made the entire battleship instantly enveloped by a ball of fire
　　
　　Could all the previous ones be deliberately created illusions, the opponent is not running away, but n! "
　　
　　Hobrow felt a chill, he did not expect that the enemy who fled from the beginning, suddenly flicked his tail, showing such a fierce sharpness that was not dare to be watched.
