    Chapter 283 Luna

    The naval battle in the waters surrounding Yuantu Island did not last long before it ended.  The Far Island Fleet is completely inferior to the Flag Fleet in terms of strength, luck and timing, morale and determination to fight.  Coupled with the chaotic command of the Far Island fleet, not long after the war started, the commander ran away with the flagship. Under such circumstances, the Liverpool people won the war without any suspense.

    With the exception of Holland and his Florence flagship, which escaped, all the warships of the Principality of Florence were either sunk or captured. No ship was spared.  Major Aguero also got his wish and was able to get a medal on his chest after the war. Although he had to be scolded by the always cautious Colonel Ferdinand before that, he felt it didn't matter anymore.

    Although we have achieved an initial victory in this naval battle, we cannot rest easy. The real test is coming soon!  You know, the total displacement of the more than 30 battleships is almost four to five times that of the Flag fleet, and it even has a giant battleship with a displacement of up to 27,000 tons!  Facing such an enemy, if anyone can easily come down, then it is probably the two most powerful countries in the human world - the Evert Federation and the Holy Empire.  Even though the Kingdom of Wembley is much stronger than the people of Florence in terms of naval strength, if the people of Florence really want to fight hard, the Kingdom of Wembley will not be able to bear it.

    And now, the Principality of Florence, which has taken the Far Island, has obviously got desperate ideas.  (Free download of full text e-book) Otherwise, there is no need to send out the principality¡¯s strongest maritime force, right?

    Since the opponent is so powerful, it is impossible for Ferdinand to take Lin Tan's fleet, which was finally built, to go head-to-head with the opponent.  No, that's not called a head-to-head confrontation at all. It's more like hitting an egg against a rock - the egg will definitely break.

    Knowing the consequences, Ferdinand would definitely not be so idiotic as to stay on Far Island and fight a magnificent annihilation battle with the Thorn Fleet.  But this does not mean that the people of Liverpool have to give up on Far Island. Otherwise, what is the point of spending so much effort to eliminate the Florentine garrison on Far Island?

    However, Lin Tan had already made plans before the war started.  He does not have the naive idea that he can firmly control Yuantu Island with the help of the navy. In fact, he has prepared a lot of back-ups.

    On the Flag fleet, there were not only navy soldiers in the fleet, but also an army wing of more than 1,500 people.  Although this unit is not an ace army like the Huahan Knights, it is also a veteran who participated in the previous war between Liverpool and Manchester.  After some training by Lin Tan using the 'system', the combat effectiveness was no less than that of elite troops from other countries.  And the number of people was not large, a full 1,500 people!

    Lin Tan¡¯s idea is very simple. Since my navy can¡¯t compete with you, let¡¯s not put the decisive battle at sea.  The navy is powerful, but it still has its fatal limitations - without landing, they can't occupy Far Island!

    The total number of naval soldiers in the entire Thorn Fleet is about 13,000, but apart from the many soldiers who have no experience in melee combat, such as gunners, oarsmen or logistics soldiers, those who really have combat effectiveness are also  There are only some Marines left.  The number of Marines is only about a quarter of the total number, which is about 3,000.  Most hand-to-hand combat in the navy is a melee, while in land combat, the fighting method is completely different.  In addition, even the melee soldiers of the Navy are absolutely impossible to have stronger combat effectiveness than the Army.  Therefore, leaving 1,500 elite infantrymen on the island can already prevent the Florentines from landing on the island and carrying out occupation operations.  As for the Flag fleet, after putting down their soldiers, they quickly left Far Island from another direction that ensured that they would not encounter the Thorn Fleet.

    Not long after the Flag Fleet left, the Thorn Fleet arrived as promised.  However, they got nothing but a deserted and empty dock.

    A graceful figure appeared on the deck of the Bauhinia, holding a telescope blessed with eagle eye skills in his hand, looking at the small town inside Far Island, which had been blocked by Liverpool soldiers, from a distance.

    "Lady Luna, what should we do now?" an adjutant next to her asked softly to the woman.

    Luna is obviously the name of this graceful woman.  This is a very ordinary girl's name, but she has a surname that can be called great in the Holy Cross League: Batistuta.  That's right, this lady named Luna is naturallyThe daughter of an alliance war god.

    Despite having such a strong father behind her, Luna was able to become the captain of the Redbud, and even the commander of the entire Thorn Fleet, because Dirk was not just her last name.  On the contrary, this general tiger woman has combat command abilities that are completely inconsistent with her gender, especially in naval battles.  Of course, part of the reason why she was able to reach this position was her father, but her outstanding military exploits are still indelible.

    Despite her distinguished status and outstanding military exploits, Luna could only frown her beautiful brows at this time, thinking of one solution after another in her mind.  But after much deliberation, she still hasn't found a suitable solution to the dilemma she's facing now.  As for sending naval soldiers to the island to fight on land with the Liverpudlian army troops, this foolish approach did not even enter the mind of this wise woman: it was meaningless.

    "Can we just wait for the principality to send the army?" Luna was thinking in her mind, but she was unwilling to do so no matter how she thought about it.  But what can be done at this time?  She could only order the fleet to search for traces of Liverpool's Flegg fleet with the Far Island as the center, and at the same time order another part of the fleet to strictly block the Far Island and prohibit any ships from approaching. In particular, she could not allow the Liverpool people to continue to attack.  Reinforcement of troops on Faraway Island.

    Although Ms. Luna¡¯s choice is not a mistake, it is a pity that Lin Tan, who is far away in Anfield, has never considered leaving the outcome of this battle to a distant island
