Macho Wars

Before landing, the commander of the Principality Army, in order to boost morale, told soldiers not to be afraid to fight with the Imperial Army, said a lot of high-sounding boasts, and severely devalued his opponent.

It is said that the imperial army on the island is not elite, but only a third-rate local army, and it must have no combat effectiveness.And they are the proud elites of the Sapphire Principality, backed by the fleet.

Just like the "horse racing fable" that was widely circulated in the Eastern Qin Dynasty, they were using their own good horse to compete with the imperial imperial horse, and there was no reason why they could not win.

In the end, you should not slap your face too quickly. Many soldiers of the Principality have begun to doubt their lives.

At the same time, on the other side, Dragon had just welcomed back the reconnaissance company that "returned with full load".Roebuck used only two platoons and completed the task cleanly and beautifully with zero casualties.

They not only brought back four warm officers and prisoners to Dragon, but also a beautiful flag.

Dragon decided to hurry up and interrogate these shameless guys. He had too many questions he wanted to know, and he needed to get answers from them.

Chapter 195

The four captured prisoners were quickly escorted to the regiment headquarters. The four were a lieutenant colonel, two captains, and a lieutenant. The specific duties are unclear.

Dragon ordered them to be interrogated separately, but he did not show up for the time being. In the room next to the interrogation room, he used the microphone to listen in, and from time to time he asked his subordinates to send some small notes with problems.

At first, these people were very hard-spirited, posing a tough guy attitude that would rather die than surrender.Especially the lieutenant colonel, even more refused to utter a word.But as Dragun signaled that the brother in charge of the interrogation could use some rude methods, his men gradually became unable to hold it, and his mouth began to loosen.They successively explained their names, titles, and numbers of their troops.

Only then did Dragon know that the several officers who had been captured were all staff officers and were attacking his own enemy forces, including the Sapphire Principality’s Navy First Fleet and Army Lancer Division First Regiment.The latter is the troop of the Sapphire Principality, with a strengthening regiment.

And the reason why they would appear here with the First Fleet following the Tarrans was not an organized and premeditated attack, as Dragoon had previously guessed, it was purely a coincidence.

Things have to start more than a month ago.

At that time, the army of the Principality had just captured the capital of the Tarans, and some members of the royal family and senior officials of the nobility tried to exile overseas by boat.In order to stop these people, the Navy of the Sapphire Principality decisively sent a fleet to intercept them.

At first, the pursuit fleet only had five ships, two light cruisers and three destroyers. Although the Tarans who were chased by them had only three warships, the flagship was a fully loaded armored ship with a displacement of nearly 10,000 tons. cruiser.This armored cruiser, named "Sword of National Defender" by the Tarrans, originally belonged to the Royal Navy of the Sidney Empire, but was later retired and sold to the Tarrans Navy and became their flagship.

Although the ship’s performance has fallen behind the world’s first-class level on a technical level, after all, the tonnage is there and there are three double-mounted 200mm main guns. These data are for the navies of the small countries in the Far East. It is already a terrifying "monster"!

Therefore, just in case, the navy commander of the principality temporarily supplemented a convoy to the pursuit fleet.

This convoy consisted of a light cruiser, two destroyers and fifteen armed merchant ships.In addition to carrying a large amount of supplies, he also brought a regiment of infantry.The transport team received a temporary order from the superior before sending them to the place and turned around to join the pursuit fleet.

In the past ten days of pursuit by the fleet, these unlucky infantry have been in a dazed state of seasickness, and they have always been accompanied by three questions, which can not be removed in their minds.

Where are we?

What are we doing?

We have a hairy?

It wasn't until the Principality fleet crossed the ocean in one breath and caught up to the Zhibodan Islands that these infantrymen who were accidentally involved in this matter finally have their abilities.And what happened afterwards, Dragon knew very well.

obviously!Someone provided important information to the Principality’s pursuit fleet. Their top commander knew that Port Pandora was experiencing a typhoon, and the nearest imperial fleet was trapped in the port.

So the soldiers went on danger, and used a reinforced regiment brought by the accidental collision to land, fighting to offend the powerful empire, and also to destroy the Tarrance royal family.

It is a pity that they overestimated themselves and underestimated their opponents.Although Dragoon’s regiment holds the title of a “temporary” second-line unit, it is actually a standard first-class main regiment configuration and its combat effectiveness is quite good.

The information that several staff officers could explain was limited, and the value was quickly drained. Only the lieutenant colonel named "Samp Locks" still refused to speak.

This guy is not only the chief of staff of the first regiment, but also a very prominent identity. He is the nephew of the current Grand Duke Sapphire and the youngest son of the commander-in-chief of the Principality Army.

So Dragon asked the other prisoners to record their statements and show them to him.

As soon as the lieutenant colonel heard his subordinates confessed, he betrayed himself easily, and his tight face could not help showing a sneer of self-deprecating sneer, but he finally opened his mouth.

"I want to see your highest official."

Hearing the other party's request through the earpiece, Dragon nodded to Tafi, and after a while, Lieutenant Colonel Samp Locks was brought to him.

Dragon looked at his bruised face, motioned Tafe to loosen his tie, and then pushed the wooden water glass on the table in front of him.The lieutenant colonel glanced at the water glass, then picked it up and drank it without hesitation.

Dragon smiled, putting aside the hostility, he didn't hate this very kind guy.

"Lieutenant Colonel Lockes, if you are willing to speak earlier, you don't need to suffer this crime."

"Huh! If you fall into my hands, I promise you will look worse than I am now."

The tit-for-tat replied Dragon, the lieutenant colonel did not show timidity in front of Dragon because he became a prisoner.I don't know if it is really not afraid of death, or feel that Dragon dare not do anything to himself.

Dragon looked at him and said slowly.

"To be honest, Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, I just learned your identity from your subordinates. I originally wanted to take you as a hostage to force your army to withdraw and offshore."

"Then you can give it a try. I will tell you responsibly, this will only lead to a more violent attack by our army. Don't say you caught a small character like me, even if the prisoner is the Grand Duke himself, there will be no Any effect. Never compromise with the enemy, this is our army’s tradition!"

"Haha! Then what I said just now is really rude! But I really don't understand why such a brave and brave army does not mean that it is not finished to destroy other people's countries, and it has to kill others' orphans and widows? Is this also the tradition of your army?"

"Huh! It's Tarance's treachery first, those shameless villains who tend to be inferior, deceived our Grand Duke with dirty means, our military division is famous!"

"Your teacher is famous?"

"That's right! Lieutenant colonel, looking at you, you don't seem to know what the Tarrans did. If you know, I believe you will never be willing to sacrifice your own lives to protect those liars. ."

Seeing the doubt in the eyes of Dragon and other Imperial soldiers present, Samp showed a sneer on his face.

As a very important nephew of the Grand Duke Sapphire, Samp Locks knew some inside stories between the upper strata, especially some information related to the relationship between them and the Tarrans Kingdom. The content was quite explosive.

He believed that the empire did not know about this, because if they knew it, they would definitely not provide any protection for these Tarrans exiles!

Chapter 196

Speaking of the Tarrans, Samp Locks couldn't help showing a gnashing look of hatred, and seemed to have a sea of ​​blood and deep hatred with them.

He told Dragon that the Tarrans royal family was a group of shameless liars. They had falsely shown good wishes to the Principality of Sapphire, saying that they wanted to improve relations between the two countries.King Tarrance offered a marriage in order to show his sincerity, and he was willing to marry his palm jewel to the Grand Duke Sapphire.

The Grand Duke of Sapphire was very happy at the beginning, because Princess Karen of Tarrance, who was only sixteen years old, was well-known in the Far East for her beauty. Known as Snow White and the black pearl of Tarrance, there were an endless stream of princes from all over the world.

Although the Grand Duke of Sapphire is nearly sixty years old and three years older than King Tarrance, he is known for her lust and covets the young and beautiful Karen for a long time.Now the Tarrans take the initiative to propose marriage, which can be said to be just what he wants.

However, as a condition of the marriage, King Tarrans proposed a territorial deal.They want to use a grain-producing area of ​​about 5,000 square kilometers in exchange for a disputed area between the two countries.

This sale is quite tempting for the Principality of Sapphire, which has insufficient grain production.

So under the temptation of beauty and profit, the Grand Duke Sapphire fainted for a while, and unexpectedly agreed so excitedly.While preparing for the wedding in China, he withdrew the troops originally deployed in the disputed area.

But just as the preparations for the Grand Duke's wedding were about, an angry news suddenly reached the Duke's ears.

King Tarrans decided to unilaterally tear up the marriage contract. Naturally, the previous territorial transactions were no longer counted. However, the Tarrans army had taken the opportunity to control the entire disputed area. After eating the meat in his mouth, there was absolutely no reason to vomit it.

Feeling deceived, Grand Duke Sapphire declared war on the Kingdom of Tarrance in a rage.

At first, the Tarrans Kingdom was not afraid of the duchy. After all, the military strength of these two countries was half a catastrophe, and Tarrans had a slight advantage in terms of population and land area.
