Von Palen's face was gloomy, but Shelly continued:

"Compared to the army, our navy has developed a little slowly. Although the shipyards are manufacturing large transport ships day and night, the combat effectiveness of our naval forces has not kept up. At sea, the decisive force does not lie in the combat effectiveness of the soldiers themselves, but more in the advantages brought by the warships."

"Advanced warships are enough to crush everything."

"Gustav, I think you should know more than me." Shelly looked at Gustav again.

Gustav was so uncomfortable when asked this question that sweat kept oozing out of his back, but he immediately said:

"We have several divisions of troops on the western coast. As long as the Star Islands are not captured, they will become our fortress on the sea, and the Yan people will be dragged to death on the sea."

"That's our sea area, and behind us is our land. The Yan people don't have the troops to replenish quickly. It will take them two months to come here!"

"As one side gains strength while the other loses strength, what can the Yan people use to attack?"

"Maybe their attack plan has failed and they have fled back in shame!" Gustav said loudly.

Feng Palen raised his eyebrows and said:

"Since they are coming in large numbers, they will not leave easily."

"But Gustav is right about one thing. The Yan people came to our territorial waters. If we can avoid fighting them at sea and instead set the battlefield in the Stars Archipelago, it will be a huge advantage for us."

Hearing this, Gustav said excitedly: "Yes, Your Majesty, you should know that Sebastian is an excellent commander. He will make reasonable tactical arrangements after figuring out the combat power of the Yan Kingdom fleet."

"And at the port of Brulo, General Bernhardt's troops are stationed there. If there is a battle in the Star Archipelago, they can continuously provide reinforcements."

Feng Palen nodded slightly, but his expression remained serious. He said:

"The arrival of the Yan people has posed a certain threat to us."

"As Shelly said, our naval power is indeed insufficient, and this expedition..."

At this point, everyone who was listening had a gloomy look on their faces, and some of them even sighed. The fleet that Adelman and Xia Liyang took away was already the strongest navy of the Federation at the moment, but if it was really as speculated, they had been completely wiped out, then this would be an extremely huge loss for the empire.

Although the navy has not fallen to the point of being unable to recover, it has been seriously damaged. The next expedition to Yan Country will undoubtedly be postponed, and the colonial plan may even be cancelled.

At this moment, Feng Palen also noticed the low mood of the people present. He stood up straight and said in a loud voice:

"And the Yan people are coming to our territorial waters. I know you may think this is bad news, but I don't think so."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes focused on Feng Palen's face. Feng Palen's gloomy expression disappeared and he said with a proud look:

“Recognize the gaps, learn lessons, and sum up experience!”

"If the Yan countrymen's warships are stronger, then we must find ways to seize them. With better technology, we can fully upgrade our navy and become the strongest maritime force of this era!"

“A few setbacks will not make us retreat, and the journey will not end there.”

"Compared to the threat brought by the invasion of the Yan people this time, I think it is an opportunity. We have millions of troops on this land, and they will definitely become corpses under our feet! And we will get more advanced technology from them and become stronger!"

"Everyone, don't dwell on the navy's temporary defeat. The confrontation with the Yan people has just begun!" Feng Palen said with great pride.

"It's only been a short while, is the battle already over?"

At two o'clock in the morning, Tachina, who led a group of defeated soldiers to flee the Macedonian military factory in a hurry, muttered to himself.

The warhorse under his crotch was already panting, and Tachino was shivering in the cold wind. At this moment, he was standing on a slightly higher hillside looking in the direction of the Macedonian military factory.

Although the night was dark, a fire was lit in the direction of the Macedonian military factory.

Although they were far away and Tachino could only get a rough idea of ​​what they were, he knew what the lights meant.

It was obvious that the Yan people's attack on the Macedonian military factory had ended, and those who had not evacuated in time had become corpses.

Afterwards, the Yan people chose to end everything with a fire.

This Macedonian military factory, which had been under construction for eight years and had produced countless weapons, was reduced to ashes in less than four days after the Yan people landed in Port Foster.

Such a powerful enemy and such a swift offensive far exceeded all the enemies the empire had encountered in the past years. The emperor in Salvia might not have received the news yet, but by the time he received the news of the fall of the military factory, the Yan people might have already led their troops deep into the border.

In the past, the emperor was very swift when he led his troops into battle, but now the enemy is even more swift and fierce, Tachino thought with a pale face.

Although he was far away from the military factory, he seemed to feel the flames burning beside him. The burning flames not only destroyed the military factory, but also took away his career. If the Yan people had not come, he should have been able to make a rapid progress in the military factory.

But now there is nothing left, and the next place to go is still very far away. Tachino only hopes that the people at Heinrich Military Base can be prepared to deal with the upcoming battle with the Yan people.

"Don't slow down, go as far as you can tonight!"

Tachino pulled the reins and led the exhausted horse forward.

-

As morning approached, Gustav, who had not slept all night, hurried out of the Royal Castle under the guidance of the soldiers.

Sitting in the carriage, he stared with bloodshot eyes, feeling extremely helpless. A night of meetings had made him exhausted, but now he had to leave Salivia immediately and return to Port Brulo as soon as possible to deploy and command.

Gustav really didn't want to go back at this time, because the signalmen would continue to bring the latest military reports to Salvia. It was impossible for the Star Islands to have any problems within ten days. At most, the war would just be stalemate.

Why should I go back immediately before getting more accurate information? Sebastian and Chick are in the navy, and in Port Brulo there are a group of army generals led by Bernhardt.

In this situation, could anything particularly bad happen? That's impossible.

Gustav in the carriage wrapped his coat tightly around him, rubbed his red nose, and cursed angrily with gritted teeth.

"You damned bastards, I want to see what gives you the confidence to come here at this time!"

"call--"

The unclosed curtains of the carriage were blown open by the wind, and a gust of cold wind blew in Gustav's face. He shivered and looked outside as he reached out to cover the curtains.

The white sky appeared in the field of vision like the belly of a dead fish.
