The morning fog is getting thicker.

The ocean has her unique charm, and can always inadvertently distort people's correct perception of things.

As long as there is no personal experience of the waterspout, the effect of observation is just a twisted white line.

As long as the devastating storm drifts with the flow, you will soon see the calm eye of the storm. Although the ending is still desperate, the process is enough to make people forget the true nature of the storm.

Similar to them are mirages, icebergs, and sea fog.

The sea fog in Le Lobel Bay is not high, it wraps around the islands and reefs, rippling with the waves.

Judging from the hull of this ship, the height of the main body of this layer of fog is probably less than 80 cm.

But it happened to be born on the islands and reefs. The low and bright reefs that are most commonly seen on weekdays are hidden by a vast fog. The original tortuous and clear waterways have disappeared, and only a few protruding sea rocks and small islands are still distinguished.

The French defense fleet burst in at this juncture.

Standing on the lookout of the Badger, Nelson held the sight glass for a long time without words.

Look down on the opponent!

When setting up the battlefield, Nelson thought he had assessed most of the variables at the beginning of the war.

From the perspective of military strength, the French, with one fourth-class ship and one fifth-class ship, have an overwhelming advantage over the four Halloween boats in terms of firepower and military strength.

In terms of hydrological intelligence, it is impossible for one's own side in the away game to compete with the opponent in the home game.

Head-on must lose, guerrillas are hard to win. From the time this plan was submitted, Nelson understood the difficulty of winning.

But he still submitted a plan for the Halloween operation, bet on his life and the trust of Sir Parker, and tried his best to convince the Fleet Command.

Because he has strong self-confidence, he firmly believes that he can shorten or even level the gap between the two sides through tactics, courage and awareness.

Le Robel's decisive battle is the condensate of all this.

In his plan, the French would come out because of the battle damage of the Lucky Horseshoe, admire the wind chimes of human flesh at the gates of hell, and then lose their minds, relying on the strength of the ship and the familiarity of the geographical environment to launch a strong attack on the islands and reefs. Attack.

With the advantage of the French, this kind of risky behavior is still in the "normal decision-making category".

It's just that the motivation for taking risks is slightly insufficient.

That's why Nelson approved Lorraine's plan to bomb LeRobel.

In Lorraine's position, this may be done to eradicate possible risks and variables in the decisive battle, but in Nelson's position, the brutal destruction of local towns will become the key motivation for the French to rush into the battle.

He thought he had counted everything.

Motivation, position, emotion, judgment, advantages and disadvantages held by oneself and the enemy...

Only, he forgot to count people!

Leo von Gevodan, admiral of the French defense fleet, rear admiral, ordinary nobleman, hereditary earl.

Among the intelligence held by the United Kingdom, Earl Gervadang was a lucky man who was favored by the **** of war.

At the age of sixteen, he enlisted as a family concubine, with no experience in sea school, and started as a corporal.

In the following twenty years, he participated in 57 naval battles. Whether he wins or loses, the warships he served remained unscathed and he had won many gains.

His official career is also at a steady pace. At the age of 29, he was named a lord and major and became a captain. At the age of 32, he was a baron, a lieutenant colonel at 33. He was transferred to the New World at the age of 35, and he was promoted to a viscount at the age of 38. Major General, at the age of forty-two, he was promoted to earl due to meritorious service in suppressing bandits and led the defense fleet. It has been more than five years since.

In the French navy, the Count of Gévouddin was not to be regarded as the proud son of heaven. The starting point is not high, the network is not wide, and it is not ranked among the same age group.

But he is a rare stable man.

Whether it is a war or a political struggle, there are clearly many people who are better than him, but it seems that there is really no second one like him who can always be with the victory for thirty years.

There must be a reason for this!

It wasn't until a sudden attack that Nelson truly realized that there must be a reason why this unremarkable veteran could always find a hiding place for victory.

This is an incredible talent!

"The width of the reef belt is about ten kilometers, and the straight-line distance between the entrance of the bay and Le Robert is more than one hundred kilometers. It is impossible to be ignorant of what happened to Le Robert."

"Family Glory did not warn in advance, obviously its whereabouts were exposed, and it has a high probability of being sunk."

"The source of information... Landing from outside the bay, entering and leaving Le Robert by land, it only takes two or three hours to go back and forth if there is a fast horse."

"Assuming that it has been more than twelve hours since Family Glory was sunk, Revodang will have enough time to grasp all the information in the bay."

"He forcibly resisted the humiliation at the gates of hell, and saw Le Robert burned to the ground, and hundreds of French pioneers were buried in the flames of war."

"He knows that our strength is far inferior to him, and there is no possibility of victory in a frontal war."

"In this case, he still waited for the most favorable time for him to play."

"The sea fog increases the risk of his fleet crossing the islands and reefs, but as long as there are assault boats leading the way, coupled with his detailed knowledge of hydrology, it is not an insurmountable sky."

"But we have lost the details of the channel. The most important thing is that if we can't clarify the exit of the channel, we will not be able to achieve a complete blockade."

"Moreover, the most powerful Golden Deer has no operational capabilities for the time being. The Lucky Horseshoe is chasing the slave ship. In order to protect the Golden Deer, it is impossible to join the blockade in a short time."

"The badger and the wasp, the three waterways, it is inevitable that the island and reef belt will be breached."

"Cold-blooded general, beautiful choice...Is this the favor given to you by the God of Victory?"

"learnt……"

Talking to himself in an extremely messy manner, Nelson had no intention of organizing language at all, nor did he intend to tell anyone.

He just wanted to tell himself that this decisive battle had been pulled back by his opponent, his advantage had disappeared, and every next decision would be about life and death.

At this moment, the chief mate who presided over the situation on the deck suddenly climbed up the mast himself.

"Admiral, the Golden Deer is urgent, and President Drake will report to you. First, [The ground attack mission has been completed, and the Golden Deer has begun naval battle adjustments. The estimated time is 50 minutes], and second, [I want Jupiter, if the admiral is willing, I can trade the Andes for it, hopefully], the report is over!"

Nelson couldn't help but froze on the spot.

Fifty minutes was handed over to the elite British navy for execution, and only the artillery and center of gravity debugging could be completed. This meant that Lorraine was ready to stand on the messy deck and participate in the battle, and the combat power of the Golden Deer was at least drastically reduced for this. Twenty percent.

Moreover, they have only completed a one-night battle, and their physical strength, energy, mentality, and desires are all in a trough. Are the sailors willing to participate in the battle? Even if you participate in the war, your combat power will be reduced by at least another 30%.

Does Lorraine really plan to use the Golden Deer with 50% combat power to fight the sixty-gun frigate Andes alone?

This lunatic, who keeps putting safety first, has really reached the point of life and death. Can he be so decisive and confident to such a degree?

How could I lose to you!

Nelson laughed, the cold smile hung on the corner of his mouth, skin moving but not moving, making it difficult to tell whether it was sincere or deliberately mocking.

He took out his pocket watch and glanced at the time.

"How is the enemy distributed?"

"The fifth channel is the two Brig-type frigates ~lightnovelpub.net~ advancing slowly. The first channel is the Galen-type destroyer Jupiter, which is also advancing slowly. The fourth channel is the flagship of the French army. Both the Lun-type frigate Andes and the Brig-type are confirmed."

"Aspirational... Become Count Juvo." Nelson put away his pocket watch, "Time, at 5:27, the Hornets were ordered to block the No.5 Channel and not to actively contact with the No.4 enemy ships. The Badger lifted anchor and blocked the No.1 Channel. This order is executed immediately without delay."

"Yes!"

"Draw a document and let the stormtrooper hand it to Drake. The main content... just tell him, I will transfer the Badger stormtrooper to him. If he can really sink or capture the Andes, then fight After the victory, the Jupiter is his reward, and there is no additional price to pay."

"Yes!"

"The decisive battle has begun..." Nelson took a deep breath. "Let's ask Lieutenant Fran to tell Drake. Only this time. May God bless him."
