EP.269
Warsaw Navy flagship captain’s quarters.
Admiral Timo von Kivinen, who took command of the 120-ship front, which could be said to be almost the entire Warsaw Navy, looked at his generals with confidence.
Although his subordinates were almost 10 years older than him, the commander, they had no choice but to silently accept his gaze as they were inferior in terms of military achievements compared to the military achievements that Captain Timo had made so far.
The commander said, pointing with his baton to a map of the Warsaw waterfront on the bulletin board.
“The enemy commander is a very capable man. Therefore, they say they are mobilizing all their warships to transport food for the people on the western coast. “Captain Jaeger, that bastard must be getting a battleship from somewhere.”
Captain Teemo spoke with confidence, but when the other generals heard him, they had doubts as to whether it was true.
No matter how capable Captain Jaeger is, he probably doesn’t have the talent to pull a battleship out of thin air.
How on earth will they, who have mobilized all their ships to transport military supplies, bring in warships for battle?
“So, we will prepare for a naval battle against him and embark on a maritime blockade operation. Now, I will explain the outline of the operation. Our army will first lead all 120 ships under its command to subdue ports in the western coastal area, including Port Gryfino. At this time, Captain Jaeger will probably lead a small number of ships to fight against us. “If we succeed in subduing them, we will stay at sea for the next three months and cut off the enemy’s maritime supply.”
According to Captain Timo’s calculations, no matter how hard the Reich Imperial Army transports food, it can only carry at most three weeks’ worth of food at a time.
No matter how much you save, you won’t be able to survive for a month and a half, and after that, starving people will collectively revolt.
There is no doubt that the imperial army will give up and run away because it cannot withstand the maritime blockade and the popular rebellion of over 2 million people.
“If we just cut off sea supply and destroy the Reich Empire’s fleet that will come to visit us later, we will achieve complete victory. With this I will cover the great defeat on the Plain of Glopino!”
The generals under Captain Timo were thrilled by the words ‘complete victory.’
After suffering a major defeat on the Glopino Plain, I was filled with a sense of defeat and frustration, and I felt a sense of crisis that the Grand Duchy of Warsaw would be ruined by the Reich Empire.
However, the tactics and operational strategy presented by Commander Timo not only drove the Reich Imperial Army to defeat, but also clearly presented a level of victory that could even extract compensation.
The hearts of those who loved the Grand Duchy of Warsaw more than anyone else could not help but beat.
In the meantime, someone suddenly knocked on the door of the captain’s cabin.
“I’m a messenger. Can I come in?”
“If the news is not urgent, please wait a little.”
“This is very urgent news. “Please give me permission to enter the room right now!”
Captain Teemo had no choice but to order them to come in, and as soon as the door was opened, the messenger knelt on one knee and bowed his head as per courtesy and reported.
Out of a fleet of 120 ships, only 5 ships were hit, but if something is destroyed like this in a skirmish, it will affect the morale of the allies more than anything else.
This is because the morale of our troops will drop due to a situation of concern.
What’s more terrible is that Captain Peter Yeager has increased the number of battleships to fight against them.
In the face of these facts, Captain Timo felt as if his eyesight was turning dark for a moment.
‘We outnumber them in number of warships, but an unexpected variable has arisen.’
However, the commander’s agitation caused irreparable problems, so he soon came to his senses and gave orders.
“The number of ships that Peter Yeager can mobilize is extremely limited. So there is no need to be afraid at all. On the contrary, it was a good thing that the pigs of the Reich Empire stuck their heads out and came out on their own! Isn’t that so, gentlemen!”
The generals reacted indifferently when they heard those words.
“The enemy has only a few dozen ships at most, but our forces have 115 ships. “Looking at the numbers, it’s clear that we have a huge advantage, so I’m really thankful that they came out on their own like this.”
Even Captain Teemo, who spoke cheerfully, was taken aback by the sudden dominance, so I could tell what the other generals were thinking... even without saying anything.
Again, the door suddenly opened and a new messenger came in and spoke.
“I see the flagship with enemy Commander Captain Peter Yeager on board! There are three enemy ships, including the flagship! The distance is estimated to be approximately 600 meters! “As soon as they spot us, they reverse direction and run away!”
When they heard that Peter Yeager was running away, Captain Timo and the generals came to their senses.
This is because Peter Yeager’s flight was judged to show that his main force was small and that there was no strategy to deal with.
Moreover, if they lost him in this condition, it was very obvious that the morale of the Warsaw Navy would sink to the bottom of hell.
“Commander Teemo!”
“Quickly give the tracking order! We need to kill those bastards.”
“Seeing as they run away as soon as they see us, it won’t be long before we see them, and if we lose sight of him here... what greater shame could there be than that?”
When Timo heard those words, he pulled out the sword on his waist and struck an empty spot on the desk.
“Peter Jaeger, I’m heading out to slit that son of a bitch’s head! The entire fleet, launch out and speed up! Let’s slit Peter Egger’s head!”
