Chapter 1866 Slight relief
The plane sank slightly at the end of the deck, but was quickly pulled up, raising its altitude towards the air at a large angle.

Then came the second.

The third!
When the four reconnaissance planes flew over the outer skies of the fleet, three outer light warships and two civilian ships inside had already been hit.

Two of the warships were capsizing, and the transport ship used to transport Gefra scientists was hit by two consecutive torpedoes. The location where the torpedo hit for the second time showed signs of breaking!

Another cargo ship that was hit also started to take in water, but it wasn't particularly bad, the only thing that was bad was some of the artwork on board.

These works of art can not touch the sea water!
Below the surface of the sea, the submarines are basically leaving, only the two submarines directly behind the fleet have not yet left.

The Admiralty asked them to completely sink the cargo ship used to transport scientists, and now with the effect of the first round of attack, Penteo's fleet began to change its formation.

But no matter how they change, the freighter that stays in place loses power and starts to tilt and break is impossible to move.

It has become a target, and sending two torpedoes over at this time will completely destroy it!

The captains of both submarines were well aware of the orders of the Admiralty, no matter the cost!

As the torpedoes were fired again, the planes in the air quickly locked on to the two submarines that hadn't fled the scene.

The reconnaissance plane reported its position by radio, and soon two planes carrying depth charges took off from the deck and flew towards this side.

A lot of depth charges were prepared in the sea fortress of the Penteo people, when Gefra and the Federation participated in the joint military exercise together.

The performance of Gefra's submarine made the Penteo people secretly frightened. The super high speed of movement, coupled with the torpedo's ability to strike the weak parts of the hull, will become a nightmare for the sea fortress!
In order to suppress the Gefra people's submarine force, the Penteo people prepared a lot of depth charges.

It's a pity that these things were not used on the Gefra people in the end, but on the federal people.

The two planes flew a little above the submarine and lowered their altitude relatively. After calculating the time and distance, the pilot in the co-pilot position pulled the bombing equipment.

Two strange-looking bombs fell into the water swinging from side to side, and then two planes lifted up.

A few seconds later, two water jets rose high!
The two submarines that had been accelerating away seemed to be blinded by the bomb, lost their acceleration, and moved a certain distance by virtue of inertia, and finally merged with the sea slowly.

But their mission was accomplished!
With the last torpedo, the freighter carrying the scientists was hit again, causing a more violent explosion and sinking directly and quickly.

A large number of scientists who fell into the water were drawn into the depths of the ocean with the turbulent currents. Except for a very few people who were lucky enough not to be involved, basically everyone in the boat was wiped out!
In the end, only more than 40 scientists were rescued by the sailors of the Penteo people, and more than 700 people died in the attack!
The first time the news came back to Gafla, it caused a huge uproar, and then Penteo officially announced the attack to the world.

Their diplomat described this attack with vicious words such as "appalling" and "inhumane". In his description, it seemed that the federal people had become synonymous with evil.

There was a devastating attack on an escorted freighter transporting scientists and innocent civilians.

And they also gave a list of the dead. What is really unexpected is that there are not only scientists on board this ship, but also the former emperor of Gefra, a large number of royal family members, the former prime minister, the former secretary of the navy and a large number of nobles !

And these people all died in this attack!

It can even be said that because of such an attack, Gefra's royal family was completely ruined!
After the news spread internationally, the First Chief of the Federal Ministry of International Affairs immediately held a press conference.

At the press conference, he gave a completely different "truth".

"...Peng Jieao's recent attempts to confuse right and wrong with the naval battles that took place in the Western Ocean are very embarrassing."

"At the same time, we are here to condemn the egregious act of the Penteo Empire military escorting its own military operations by taking civilian ships and people on board hostage."

"Wars should be kept away from innocent people, but they just involve innocent people in the war, which also exposes their ugly faces..."

On the TV, the Eagle of the Federation waved his arms righteously and loudly reprimanded the Penteo people for their despicability and shamelessness.

In his description, in order to avoid being attacked, the Penteo Navy used a civilian ship as a cover, which eventually caused the civilian ship to accidentally sink in the exchange of fire.

Before the fighting broke out, no one knew that there were innocent people on it, or who they were.

Therefore, it is not the federal government that is really responsible for this matter, but the Penteio military!
Subsequently, the Gefra government-in-exile also held a press conference, severely criticizing the shameful and despicable practices of the Penteo government, and said that one day they will pay the corresponding price for what they have done!
At the same time, the government-in-exile calls on the Gefra people all over the world, as well as the fighters who are interested in maintaining world peace, to join hands to fight against the ugly ambition of the Penteo people to try to dominate the world!

Otherwise, Gafla today will be them tomorrow!

For the Penteo Empire, although they lost a large number of available scientists, they also gained a lot of wealth.

When the cargo ship full of gold bricks docked at the Western Ocean port, a large number of reporters began to faithfully record everything they saw with their cameras!
Countless amounts of gold, silver, and jewels were brought down from these ships.

The soldiers in the navy seemed to be very talkative, not only allowed them to take close-up shots, but also took the initiative to open every box full of gold bars, revealing the gold bricks inside.

"Jewels are piled up one after another like sand and gravel, and the piles of gold bricks exude a charming light. I don't know if it is the luster of gold or the reflected sunlight..."

This is the exact words of a reporter, he is not exaggerating the truth, because it is the truth!
No, it should be said that the facts are more exaggerated than people imagined!

More gold is still waiting to be shipped from Gefla. His Majesty the Emperor has issued a death order. Gefla is not allowed to leave a gram of gold, nor a gram of silver!
The collection of folk precious metals and jewelry has just begun, and gold, silver, and jewelry will continue to be sent over for quite a while, but the scale is not as large as this time.

The report of the evening news suddenly eased the tense social atmosphere a lot, and His Majesty the Emperor also ordered a small banquet to be held in the palace.

He invited the diplomats of the dependent countries, as well as the great nobles of his own country.

This time he wants to take part of the money to stabilize these dependent countries.

He didn't really want to do that, but now he had to!

The situation in Penteo's country and neighboring countries is already in jeopardy, and the defeat of Gefra gave them a chance to breathe.

If the internal troubles of the neighboring small countries are not resolved now, the enemies that Peng Jieao will soon face will not only be the Federals!

The high-pressure blood-sucking policy made the middle and lower classes of these countries full of hatred for the Penteio Empire. They had no chance before, but now that the opportunity comes, they will definitely not let it go.

For example, in the first country that became a vassal state, internal turmoil has already occurred. Some anti-government armed forces gathered some people who could not stand the oppression and stood up to resist the ruler.

Once this trend spreads, there will be big problems.

The dinner was held successfully. As the emperor of a great empire, he naturally knew how to use his advantages to solve the current difficulties.

Money, orders, food!
As for whether they can suppress these problems in the end, it depends on the next war.

A new batch of soldiers from the Federation has been put into the war. After the first three days when the casualty rate was the highest, the current casualties have dropped down all of a sudden.

Of course, thanks to the arrival of a large amount of supplies, the soldiers began to build fortifications.

The part of the beach they currently occupy, including the offshore, will be built into an impenetrable fortress to ensure that their logistics will not be cut off as they continue to penetrate.

Days of fighting made the recruits mature a lot. Those who were immature and didn't have a good understanding of the cruelty of war had already died on the battlefield.

Relying on various fortifications, the casualty rate of the federal people has been significantly reduced.

On a new day, the smoke on the battlefield gradually faded, and last night the two sides launched a fierce attack and defense around the front line.

The Federation tried to launch an offensive around the daytime, but eventually gave up.

Because they currently control relatively few areas, and the number of soldiers is also very small.

After playing all night, everyone was very tired and rested during the day.

If you still want to launch an attack during the day, you need at least a group of replaceable soldiers.

The soldiers also began to gradually adapt to everything here...

In the afternoon, Ryan, who was resting in the rear of Nagalil, just woke up when someone came to find him.

Judging by his rank, he is Lieutenant Colonel.

The lieutenant colonel is already considered an upper-level officer in the federal military. After the war is over, he may be promoted to the rank of general even if he does not do much.

Not to mention that he heard from a comrade working in the Ministry of National Defense that the Ministry of National Defense intends to establish a transitional military rank between school officers and general officers.

As long as he reaches the brigadier general, the future major general will not be able to escape.

"This is... Lieutenant Colonel, he has something to do with you."

After the two shook hands, the lieutenant colonel directly explained his purpose.

"Our next conversation involves military secrets. I hope that whether we reach an agreement or not, you will not disclose it to the outside world."

Ryan's expression became a lot more serious, and he nodded again and again, "I know the confidentiality clause."

The lieutenant colonel nodded, "Currently we are trapped on the beachhead, and the speed of outward expansion is very slow, and there are intelligence reports that more enemies are gathering, and they plan to trap us in this area."

"So the Ministry of National Defense and the military jointly formulated a new combat plan..."
