Macho Wars

The two immediately left the villa by car and headed to the Royal Navy General Hospital where the Marine Corps wounded were concentrated.On the way, Dragon sat in the car to observe the situation outside. Horn Harbor is now overcrowded. The city with a population of 900,000 originally squeezed in almost five million people, nearly half of which was the original capital. Residents.

Fortunately, Clarion Harbour is the largest port city in the empire and the headquarters of the Royal Navy. The warehouses in the port area are extremely abundant, and can be quickly transferred from other places relying on the shipping system, so there will be no shortage of supplies in a short time.

But even so, the streets are still very chaotic, and the police and military police are working hard to maintain local law and order to avoid large-scale riots.

The official plan is to transfer the refugees from the imperial capital stranded in Horn Harbor to the colony as much as possible. Under constant oppression by the rebels, the Central Group’s current control area has only left three and a half provinces along the coast, and the front line is the most The frontier is only 150 kilometers away from Horn Harbor.

Once Firavi stabilizes the situation in the imperial capital, he will definitely launch a further offensive against the Central Group in the next step, and Horn Harbor will inevitably be affected by the war.

Howard deployed three lines of defense for this, the last of which was at Horn Harbor. The entire city became increasingly fortified, and even the most prosperous central shopping street in the past began to build various defenses.The tense atmosphere of the coming war made the local residents feel very uneasy, and they had to bypass several machine gun nests when they went out to buy food.

Therefore, without an official call, refugees and local residents spontaneously want to go to the colony because they want to avoid the war.

In order to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible, many people can't wait for the official ocean liners, so they turn to foreign shipping companies that are not subject to the imperial government. The supply of tickets to the New World suddenly exceeds supply, and the fares are also Under the secret control of some people, it quickly soared to a very astonishing level, and even became a "new hottie" on the local black market.

Chapter 457

The car quickly arrived at the Royal Naval General Hospital. Just as Dragon and Alicia got out of the car, someone in the hospital immediately greeted them.The other party called himself Raul Boglide, was the personnel director of the General Hospital, welcomed the Lord Marquis and His Royal Highness the princess to come, and then said many flattering compliments.

Dragon had never been so diligently flattered before, and for a while, he was quite uncomfortable, and hurriedly stopped the other party's dog licking behavior.

"Well, Mr. Supervisor! I came here just to visit my injured subordinates. Just tell me which wards they are in. I will go there by myself and try not to disturb the work of your hospital's medical staff."

"Ah! You are really a good officer who is compassionate to your subordinates. Why not, let me lead the way for you and the princess. No one in the hospital is more familiar than me."

Under the leadership of the hospital director, Dragon and Alicia entered the hospital and came to the ward of the East Third District. Most of the wounded in the Marine Corps were arranged here, with a total of more than 1,500. This is still in the case of transferring some lightly injured people.

The arrival of Dragon made the wounded very excited. Some people with serious injuries even struggled to get up and salute him, with tears in their eyes.

Dragon walked past the beds one by one, shook hands with the wounded one by one, and had a gentle conversation.Many people were pleasantly surprised to find that the master teacher actually knew himself and was able to call out his own name or nickname. This made them feel flattered. They swear to the sky one by one, and they will return to the First Marine Division when the injury is recovered. Continue to follow the general around.

Because of the outstanding performance in the Civil War and the unshakable high morale, the central high-level officials have always felt that the First Marine Division is a loyal and reliable force to the royal family.

But in fact, the officers and soldiers of the First Marine Division knew that they didn't care about the royal family and nobles. They were just loyal to Dragon, loyal to the veteran officer who created the First Marine Division and can always lead them to overcome difficulties to victory.This trust and admiration for Dragon is the source of the high morale of the First Marine Division.

Dragon went around in the hospital, visited all the wounded soldiers of the First Marine Division one by one, and asked them what they wanted, and then they all put them in notes.

When I left the hospital, the sky outside was completely dark, but many armed airships hovered over the city, and searchlights swept back and forth towards the ground.

Dragon glanced at the notebook in his hand. There were a total of 17 items listed on it. Most of the needs of the wounded soldiers were simple, and there was nothing difficult to do. Therefore, Dragon planned to stay in the division when he returned. The person on duty called and asked them to prepare.

When he and Alicia returned to the villa, they unexpectedly discovered that Nine Emperor Sister Enfia had returned, and little Irene was begging for a hug with her little hand in front of each other.

Dragon found that the character of his baby daughter is really super outgoing!The little guy seems to have some very subtle deviations in cognition due to the problems of his living environment, and he regards all the big sisters with beautiful looks and good bodies as their own mothers.

But this little cutie is especially rare, and if you just sell cute, you can have a little sister and big sister captured by her and willingly become a godmother party.

After seeing Enfia for a long time, Dragon immediately greeted him, but the other side looked at Dragon and Alicia beside him, and asked with a smirk on purpose.

"How is it? Cool?"

"Uh……"

In front of the child, Dragon ignored Enfia's molesting, then carried Alicia on his back, quietly giving a thumbs up at the other party.

Regarding Enfia's return, Dragon guessed that nine out of ten cases were related to the transfer of the First Marine Division, and it turned out to be the case when asked.Except for the second ship Saratoga, the entire amphibious fleet is still operating with the second carrier aviation squadron with the main fleet, the rest of the ships have returned to Horn Harbor for rest.

Although the evacuation date was not clearly stated above, it is estimated to be these few days.

Enfia also told Dragoon that she went to the Central Headquarters to see Howard before returning home, but she heard a proposal to let the First Marine Division stay and assist in the defense of Horn Harbor. The reason was that they were so powerful. , Transferring to the rear is a waste.

Fortunately, Howard disagreed and insisted that the First Marine Division be withdrawn to the New World to rest.

In addition, there is good news, that is, the Marine Corps is about to be expanded, and the expansion is to add three new divisions, namely two amphibious marine divisions and one aviation division, under the command of the three services Howard's direct command is no longer subject to the joint control of navy and army.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Howard is using the Marines as a direct line.

as expected!Early the next morning, Dragoon received a call from his superior asking him to report to the headquarters.As soon as he arrived, he received a transfer order that the headquarter of the First Marine Division would set off for the New World in three days, and Dragoon received Howard's appointment to be fully responsible for the expansion and training of the Marine Corps on the New World.

Howard then went to Dragon to chat about the current war and asked him to express some views on the defense of the coastal control zone.When he went home in the evening, he found that the villa had begun to pack things. There were a lot of things in the living room. Enfia was standing in the middle and choosing between the left and right. It seemed that he was in a choice disorder.

"Wow! Are you moving now?"

"Yeah! There are a lot of things in the house, it is definitely impossible to take all of them, so you must choose carefully. Oh, yes, tell you, I just asked your wives for permission, we When you get to the New World, you may have to harass your house for a while, should you mind?"

"No matter what, just treat it as your own home, you are welcome."

When Dragoon finished speaking, he suddenly realized that there was a bit of ambiguity in the words, and Enfea teased him with a playful expression on his face.

"Ouch! Brother, can't you tell! So you have ideas for me too!"

"Uh...no, you misunderstood..."

Dragon was about to explain when Fumi came down from upstairs. In order not to deepen the misunderstanding, Dragon hurriedly closed his mouth.

Three days later, nearly 9,000 people from the First Marine Division, including transporting the wounded, boarded and set off at the military pier at Horn Harbor.At the same time, there was also a special mixed formation composed of elite naval forces, responsible for protecting the royal family members to the colony.

After the two fleets converged on the sea, more than 30 warships mightily set off toward the new continent on the other side of the ocean.

Chapter 458: Political Marriage

On the second day of the fleet sailing, the formation entered the high seas.

During the voyage, the two destroyers of the rebels once appeared in the field of vision, but due to the powerful deterrence of the two battleships and three heavy cruisers here, they only took a peek at a distance and turned around and fled.

The lack of naval power under him is the biggest shortcoming of Firavi.

Relying on the ocean currents brought by the winter monsoon, the entire formation was able to maintain a high-speed cruise of more than 18 knots. The direct flight is expected to reach Port Pandora in the New World in about eight days.

However, in view of the current military ambitions, before the royal family left, Howard urged them to stop at the Jiandao Naval Base for a few days, and let the young emperor patrol and sympathize with the local naval officers and soldiers.

The formation arrived at Jiandao base on the morning of the fifth day, and the local navy organized a grand welcome ceremony.The current highest person in charge of the entire naval base is the former commander of the first main fleet, Admiral Harlan Crusoe.

During the Battle of Longgong Island, it was he who personally led the first main fleet, traversing the typhoon thousands of miles to aid zone 11, helping the independent regiment that was still part of the army's battle sequence to rescue.

Afterwards, Harlan received an irrelevant punishment because he did not listen to the command of his superiors and led the fleet to storm the storm zone without authorization. After less than a year, he was promoted to admiral, became admiral of Majima, and commanded the Imperial Ocean Fleet.

The uncle’s background can be said to be quite rigid. He is a duke himself and married the third princess of the empire. He is one of the top navy generals with real power. However, he is politically neutral and rarely blends with the central side. The mess.

In this prince's rebellion, Haran originally planned to abide by neutrality and resolutely not allow the Ocean Fleet to participate in it, but he never thought that the radicals who were loyal to Philavie would secretly plan and launch a rebellion on Jiandao. In an attempt to capture a light cruiser at night, the shelling command killed Haran.

Fortunately, Harlanford was fateful, and when the rebels bombarded the headquarters, he was patrolling elsewhere on the island, and he managed to avoid the disaster.

After the incident, Haran quickly put down the rebellion with thunder, and all participants were shot and executed by him for treason, and Jiandao base also fell to the center.

For this visit to the royal family, Haran paid great attention to him, personally led the senior officers and family members of his subordinates to the dock to greet him, and as soon as they met, he bowed to the young emperor on one knee and met him on one knee. Save the face of the young emperor.

Dragoon, who had gone ashore together, muttered to himself when he saw this scene.
