After Faraway Island was blocked, Lin Tan immediately exerted all his strength to put pressure on the Florentines. e^Look, the response from Florentines was also very tough. Despite this, Lin Tan still has no plans to stop. In the alliance's parliament, the debate between several envoys has gradually escalated into a quarrel, and the atmosphere on the border has become increasingly tense. On the ocean, although the Flag Fleet was unable to break through the blockade of the Thorn Fleet and enter the coast of Far Island to transport supplies to the Liverpool soldiers stationed on the island, the fleet, led by Colonel Ferdinand, cruised on various important routes. On the navigation line, when encountering the ships of the Principality of Florence, they would not launch an attack, but would go up and harass them in a show of force, and they had to make the Florentines tremble in fear before leaving with satisfaction.
¡°Does Lin Tan believe that Duke Colin can still stay in Florence with peace of mind and watch the situation continue to develop step by step? If this is the case, beating Lin Tan to the end, even if it involves the use of force, is a last resort. Although it may attract interference from other countries in the alliance, this matter is no longer about whether benefits can be obtained, but what has been done. Concerned about the stability of Lin Tan's own dominance.
However, Lin Tan does not want to reach that final step. It is foreseeable that there will be another bloody storm in the alliance. The opportunity to recuperate and recuperate that Lin Tan finally fought for for more than half a year will be paid off in this war. If it flows eastward, there is even the possibility of further losses. Moreover, Lin Tan had no way of predicting the outcome of the war. Will it be victory or defeat? But regardless of victory or defeat, it will not bring any benefits to Lin Tan's power at this developing juncture. On the contrary, the damage will be extremely huge.
It¡¯s February 15th, 187th year of the Holy Light Calendar.
At this moment, it has been more than four days since the soldiers of the Principality of Liverpool landed on Far Island. Half of the supplies on the island have been consumed, but the Florentines still have no idea of ??lifting the blockade. Their warships are still cruising at sea, closely monitoring every move of the Liverpool soldiers, and never relaxing their vigilance.
If this situation continues to develop, it will be extremely detrimental to the people of Liverpool. At this moment, the captain of this army, Knight Carroll, who holds the rank of captain, is anxiously walking around the military camp.
The former crown knight of the Chinese Knights was seriously injured during the last operation that Lin Tan led people to sneak into Old Trafford City. However, after more than half a year of recuperation, he finally recovered and was taken off by Lin Tan. The Chinese Knights were transferred out and became the commander of the First Legion of Liverpool. In this war, he was also entrusted with the important task of leading the most elite third regiment of the First Army to station on the Far Island.
He originally thought he would be able to encounter a hearty battle, so that he could prove that the military rank and the title of Crown Knight on his body were not for nothing. But the Florentines gave him no chance. And if the current situation continues, he may become the first officer under Lin Tan who must surrender to the enemy before fighting with the enemy - the food on the island is quite sufficient. But the fresh water is almost running out. He couldn't possibly die of thirst and not surrender to the opponent, right? Carol had this idea, but think about it, wouldn't it be more embarrassing to be laughed at by those Florentines and throw the body into the sea to feed the sharks?
Anyway, whether it is surrender or any other choice, it is extremely difficult for Carol. He would rather face dozens of times more enemies and launch a desperate attack and die on the battlefield than live like this. But now he can't even launch a suicidal attack. You can't let these infantry and archers swim in the sea to fight against those giant battleships of Florence, right?
At this moment, Miss Luna also received an order from the city of Florence with the Grand Duke's emblem that put her in a dilemma: to expel all the people from Liverpool on the remote island as quickly as possible. You can use coercion when necessary!
Although the wording of the order is "expulsion", it is obviously no different from urging Luna to start a battle. Words such as 'as quickly as possible' and 'forced means' all showed the eager mood of Duke Colin sitting in Florence.
It seems that the pressure Lin Tan has put on the Florentines again and again in the past few days has gradually begun to show its desired effect. Diplomatic and political oppression had already made Archduke Colin very anxious. As for the military, the pressure from the Liverpool army also made General Batty of the Principality of Florence frown. If war really breaks out, a full-scale war between countries, and the Florentines face Lin Tan's forces alone, there is absolutely no chance of winning.
So, don¡¯t lookFaced with Lin Tan's various oppressions, Archduke Colin always responded with the same tough attitude: as soon as the Scouser's navy arrived at Far Island, the Thorn Fleet set off immediately; the Scousers put pressure on him at the Alliance Parliament, He united the Kingdom of Meazza to fight tit for tat; the Liverpool people's powerful army was placed on the border, and General Batistuta immediately led his troops to garrison But in the heart of Archduke Colin, he still maintained a very eager mood . The reason is simple: compared to Lin Tan, he is less willing to have a real all-out confrontation with Liverpool. Even after the Far Island fleet was annihilated, he still wanted to control the scope of the dispute at sea, and Not to allow it to actually develop into a war on land.
So on the distant island, this can be called a small-scale confrontation. The sooner it can be ended, the more beneficial it will be for Archduke Colin. Having lost a tangible benefit, unless Lin Tan is determined to fight, everything can only be settled on the negotiation table. negotiation? Who is afraid of whom!
That's why Archduke Colin sent order letters to Miss Luna, the commander of the Thorn Fleet, one after another, and each one was more urgent than the last. This order was almost an order to attack immediately to Luna. ! Archduke Colin really couldn't afford to delay. If he really waited until a week later, would he still be delusional that Lin Tan would watch more than a thousand Liverpool soldiers starve to death and die of thirst on a distant island? By then, Lin Tan will probably be beaten even if he doesn't want to!
