Mage Joan
Chapter 2381: Defeated
"The town has not been peaceful recently. George can't leave the barracks for the time being. He has to wait until mid-June for leave. Martha blames him for this.
"Looking back many years ago, when I was a little girl, I dreamed of leaving my hometown and going to Midgard to find my father."
"However, now that my father has sent us a letter inviting us to meet, I am not so eager."
"Perhaps what I have been really longing for is not paternal love, but just use'finding father' as a high-sounding excuse to cover up the true purpose of trying to escape the shackles of the family and pursue a free life."
Rebecca took JoAnn's arms and walked in the garden while confiding her ambivalence.
"So do you want to see Sir Alex?" Qiao An asked her.
"This is not a question of wanting or thinking, but an obligation to be a daughter." Rebecca was silent for a long time, and then said, "Frankly speaking, when I think of the stranger who left the family 18 years ago...stranger, my heart I can’t calm down, there are resentments, more nervous and timid, Joan, can you accompany me to Midgard to meet my father? With you by my side, the atmosphere will not be too embarrassing."
"But I feel embarrassed."
——Qiao An almost blurted out, but fortunately, EQ went online at a critical moment and swallowed the words back in time.
"I plan to leave in mid-June, right?" Qiao An thought thoughtfully, "It just so happens that I am going back to Midgard University this summer to attend the annual meeting of the Austrian Law Society, and I will accompany you to visit the monarch at the monastery. Lord."
"Okay, that's it!" Rebecca's worried face rarely showed a smile.
"The letter you wrote to me this morning also said that there may have been a major disturbance in the city recently, but when I came back, I found that the streets and alleys were quite lively. Everything seemed normal. Did you hear anything wrong again? News?"
Qiao An took the initiative to change the topic of conversation from family to current affairs, hoping to help Rebecca to leave her happy moments.
"My dear Master Master, you really don't listen to things outside the window, and you are devoted to learning! Why do you need to inquire? Isn't all the bad news flying in the sky recently!"
Rebecca gave him a cute look, and then said: "The turmoil in Leiden, let’s talk later, let’s talk about the root cause of the turmoil in the city, which is the poor performance of the Imperial Expeditionary Army in the Far East. , It's shocking!"
"Starting from the day you took your vacation, on April 16, the Imperial Navy's fleet, which had great expectations for the ruling and the opposition, set sail from the Marina City Naval Base, personally led by the commander of the Imperial Navy, Charles Lucien, and sailed northeast. Tin Hau entered the coral waters and launched a combat operation codenamed "Tsunami"."
"The Imperial Navy plans to land on the Parnia Peninsula and cooperate with the Engel Corps in the eastern theater to launch an offensive against the rebel occupation zone from the east and south at the same time."
"The combat plan seemed impeccable, but when it was implemented, it became deserted. The Navy encountered stubborn resistance from the Parnias in the Golden Horn and was unable to land on the beach for a long time."
"The battle for the Port of Parnia continued intermittently until the beginning of May, when the Far Eastern Navy went south to the Coral Sea to cooperate with the Parnia Navy blocked in the port in a surprise attack on the Imperial Navy, and fought a beautiful battle that won more with less. ."
"In the Battle of the Golden Horn, the Imperial Navy suffered an unprecedented defeat. Nearly half of the ships were sunk or captured. The rest of the ships were forced to flee the warring seas, thus giving up dominance of the sea."
"Misfortune never comes singly, and on the same day that the battle in the Golden Horn Bay broke out, the Eastern Theater District also suffered a great humiliation."
"A group of Far Eastern spies passed through the secret tunnel and sneaked into the position of the Engel Corps stationed on the east bank of the Zhuolang River, and completely destroyed the four "train artillery" that had great strategic value before being transported to the other side of the river. Then escaped smoothly."
"In hindsight, the destruction of the train artillery by spies was an obvious and dangerous sign. Just three days later, the Far East rebels launched a counterattack and regained their positions on the east bank of the Zhuolang River."
"On May 10, the Far East rebels launched an operation to cross the river. They used the magic airship and a giant magic battleship named'Rudolph' as air transportation tools, and kept going back and forth between the two sides of the river, packing the officers and soldiers ready to go. The weapons and equipment of the country were transported to the west bank of the Zhuolangjiang River and took over the West Bank positions abandoned by the Imperial Army."
"During many previous air battles, the empire's magic airship was defeated by the Far East Air Force and had to give up air supremacy on both sides of the Chuolang River. There was nothing to do to watch the rebels airlift across the river."
"Judging from the latest news released by Yunwang, as of the afternoon of May 13, the entire river crossing of the rebels has been successfully completed."
"Now, the only remaining military stronghold of the Imperial Army Corps in the Far East is Olevi Fortress."
"Even ordinary soldiers know that the Far Easterners are about to launch a general offensive against Olevi fortress. As for whether they can defend this fortress or not, I am afraid that even Commander Engel has no idea."
Having said that, Rebecca couldn't help sighing, worried about the prospect of the Imperial Expeditionary Force.
Qiao An had actually seen these things Rebecca told on the "Cloud Network" news page.
Knowing that the Imperial Expeditionary Army had lost the battle in the Far East, Qiao An's initial mood was mixed.
As a supporter of the colonial tax resistance movement, he sympathized with the injustices suffered by the Far Easterners. Today the empire sent troops to suppress the Far Eastern rebels. It is hard to guarantee that tomorrow will not send an army to suppress the Alfheim compatriots who participated in the tax resistance.
From this perspective, Qiao An has a good reason to share the same hatred with the Far Easterners, so he converted all the savings in the cloud account into Far Eastern national debt, and used his wealth to support the Far Easterners to resist tyranny.
At that time, he did so only out of righteous indignation, rather than a thoughtful investment strategy.
In fact, Qiao An is not optimistic that the Far East rebels can stop the empire's iron hoof. He also knows that his investment is mostly worthless. However, the development of the battlefield quickly exceeded his expectations.
When the news of the Far Eastern Navy’s defeat of the Imperial Navy in the Golden Horn was just revealed on the Internet, most people were skeptical. After all, the Imperial Navy’s ship tonnage and artillery caliber exceeded the Far Eastern Navy by more than one grade. There is no reason to lose so badly.
Qiao An also suspected that the two sides would win each other's victory or defeat. As an organization funded by the Kolas government, "Cloud Network" was likely to boost morale and exaggerate the advantages of the Far East Navy.
However, the follow-up news from various angles confirmed that the report of Yunwang was true. With the continuous exposure of details, the online doubts became weaker.
At this point, Qiao An had to accept the reality: The Imperial Navy really lost.
