The young officer still looked very excited, and experienced officers like Wolfgang now clearly looked puzzled.
"I believe......"
Von Paalen paused again after saying "I believe". Then, Gustav heard him say:
"Sorry, I have to interrupt for a moment."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gustav saw von Palen quickly walking down the podium, and then he saw the captain of the Storm Combat Team, Bormann, quickly coming to von Palen and seemed to be whispering something.
"This is the first time I see His Majesty interrupt his speech. Is there something wrong?" Gustav touched his chin and muttered a few words unconsciously.
A few minutes later, Gustav saw that the two seemed to have finished their conversation. Bormann left with a stern face, and von Paalen's expression seemed to become more serious, which made Gustav realize that something important must have happened.
'Is it the Kosovars who are behind this again?'
Gustav could only think that the Kosovars lurking in the shadow of the empire were secretly making trouble again. Although the empire had unified the Salisno continent, as the once largest country on this continent, the Kosovo Empire still had some remaining tumors after its disintegration.
These rebels, mainly Kosovars, established an organization called the "Eshafin Party" and have been trying to overthrow the federal rule. However, in the crackdowns in the past two years, they have become weak and have no strength to overthrow the empire and restore the Kosovo Empire. Even so, these remaining rebels cunningly hide among the people and always try to assassinate the emperor.
Not long ago, they organized an assassination attempt and almost succeeded. Fortunately, one of the assassins reported the attempt in the end, so the assassination was known. Although all the assassins were executed in Saint Marin Square afterwards, the organizer of the assassination was said to have not been found out.
According to the informant, the organizer of the assassination was hiding inside the Royal Castle, and there was a high possibility that he was an officer of a high rank, but he did not know the specific identity of this person. Internally they all called him Nemesis.
Unless Nemesis is caught, the safety of His Majesty the Emperor cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, the Security Bureau has been conducting a secret investigation, and the scrutiny was particularly strict in the few days before the New Year celebrations. Gustev thought that these rebels would plan an assassination while the Emperor was on his way to Saint Marin Square, but no unrest occurred until the end of the celebration.
Now the urgent news brought by Bormann made the emperor even interrupt his speech. Gustav guessed that something serious must have happened, and it was very likely about the Kosovars.
As Gustav guessed, von Paalen had returned to the podium again, but his expression was extremely serious at this moment.
The people in the audience also realized that something must have gone wrong, and everyone's face became serious, waiting for von Palen to explain the reason.
Von Paalen stood on the podium again, supporting himself with his hands. After a few seconds of silence, he walked out of the podium, looked around, and fixed his eyes on Gustav's face.
Gustav was trembling all over when he was stared at by this cold gaze, and the remaining dizziness in his brain disappeared. He looked at von Palen nervously and anxiously, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
'It seems to be related to me.' He thought so.
"Just now, I received an urgent message." At this time, von Palen suddenly spoke.
"Our naval forces on duty at the Star Islands discovered the Yan country's fleet. That happened... on December 25th."
As soon as the words fell, there was silence in the square, but two seconds later, an uproar broke out.
Everyone's eyes were wide open with astonishment on their faces. If these words had not been said by von Palen himself, they would have even thought that this was a New Year's joke that would spoil the fun.
But the emperor never makes such a spoiling joke.
Among everyone, Gustav reacted the most violently. His heart was pounding and sweat broke out on his forehead almost instantly. As the commander-in-chief of the navy, he could associate a lot of information from this concise and clear sentence.
The most crucial issue is why the Yan people could come to the Star Islands at this time.
Didn't Edelman lead his fleet and a coalition of other countries to attack Yan? How could the Yan people appear in the Star Archipelago with their fleet when they were attacked by a multinational coalition?
They should be busy dealing with the impending crisis in their territorial waters. No, that's not right. It's already January of the new year, and the territorial waters of the Yan people should have been completely occupied long ago.
The second fleet brought by Xia Liyang should also set foot on the land of Yan Kingdom with the army. It is reasonable to deploy combat operations on the land of Yan Kingdom now.
But how come the Yan country’s fleet came to the Star Islands inexplicably?
How did they get here? Did they sneak here without following the Allied Fleet's attack? Or did they abandon their own country and come here with their fleet? The moment this thought came to his mind, Gustav immediately rejected it, because it was completely impossible, even outrageous.
But does it mean that the coalition forces were defeated by the Yan Kingdom fleet, and the army led by Xia Liyang was also defeated, and then the Yan people led the fleet to counterattack, so they came to the Star Islands?
That's impossible.....this is also outrageous.
Not to mention that the fleet brought by Edman is the strongest naval fleet in the empire, just the military forces organized by several countries headed by the Isari Kingdom, their powerful combat power is enough to make the Yan people unable to cope with it, not to mention the military strength after the merger. It would be harder than climbing to the sky for the Yan people to defeat them all under such circumstances.
Storm! It must be a storm! The coalition forces encountered a storm on their way there!
The Lord stood on the side of the Yan people. There was no other possibility.
While Gustav was thinking in a panic, von Palen on the podium continued with a sullen face:
"If you count the time, it was almost ten days ago."
"In the next few days, I think the signalmen will send us information about the current situation of our Star Archipelago. They are on their way."
"But no matter what news comes next..."
At this point, Feng Palun suddenly raised his voice and said:
"The damn Yan people dared to invade our borders, so let them never return!!"
“Destroy them!!!”
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately shouted angrily: "Destroy them!!"
Gustav, who was shouting along, turned pale. Although he shouted enthusiastically, his heart was filled with panic at this moment.
"Our naval fleet, has it really been defeated?"
"The Yan people have come to the Star Islands, so they must be coming with great force and have made sufficient preparations. The Star Islands should be... okay, right?"
Thinking of this, he looked at von Palen cautiously, and von Palen happened to be looking at him.
When their eyes met, Gustav's heart skipped a beat.
