Chapter 687

This continent is still in an era of extremely underdeveloped maritime power.
Every country on the mainland, including the Britannian Empire, emphasizes the army and is light on the navy.
Although a large country like the Britannian Empire and the Holy Sheran Empire had established naval forces, it never cared about naval construction.
The total number of naval personnel in the Britannian Empire was only 20,000, which was incomparable to the size of the army with millions of troops.
The 20,000 navy of the Britannian Empire had a normal task to fight coastal pirates and escort the envoys.
At the beginning of last year, the Navy of the Britannian Empire was responsible for escorting Bancro to the Far East to discuss alliances with the Hungarians.
Due to the limitations of the times, no one noticed the importance of navy and coastal defense.
After hearing that Su Cheng wanted to ask for help from the Imperial Navy, Humphrey frowned:
"navy?"
Humphrey is also one of the general public who cannot see what the navy is useful for.
Humphrey really couldn't think of what could he help with these navy, who could only fight pirates on weekdays? He could also help them take down the Muhavic Fortress.
Due to the limitations of the times, others cannot see the importance of naval and coastal defense, but Su Cheng is different.
Su Cheng had already expected Humphrey to react like this, so he said seriously again:
"I'm not kidding. I just plan to ask the Central Committee to transfer the Navy north to help me take down the Muhavic Fortress."
After noticing that Su Cheng was not joking with him, Humphrey also put away the surprise on his face, wonderingly, and asked seriously:
"Sir, how do you plan to cooperate with the Imperial Navy so that the Knights of Michael can take the Muhavic Fortress?"
"It's very simple. Just attack across the sea!" Su Cheng said firmly.
"Spanning the sea...surprise attack?"
Su Cheng raised the knight's sword in his hand, used the knight's sword again to replace the baton, and pointed to the map.
"Mr. Humphrey, please see."
“We Britannian Empire and Holy Heran Empire are both near the ocean to the west.”
"The combat plan I have formulated is very simple. I am going to walk the sea to bypass the Eghar Mountains, land in the Pure Water Port of the Holy Sheran Empire, and then run east along the north of the Eghar Mountains, and take down the Muhavic Fortress in the north of the Eghar Corridor!"
"I plan to dispatch 80,000 people to complete this plan, leaving only 40,000 people to stay at the Avalon Fortress."
"Let the Imperial Navy go north first and station in [Port Lot] in the western north."
"And the 80,000 people from my Knights quickly left the Avalon Fortress, marched quickly to the Port of Lot, and boarded the ships of the Imperial Navy."
"These 80,000 people escorted our army by the Imperial Navy head north along the coastline of our country and the Holy Hillan Empire."
"Go straight to [Bi Shui Port] located in the southwest corner of the Holy Hillan Empire!"
"The Pure Water Port of the Holy Hillan Empire is one of the stations of the naval forces of the Holy Hillan Empire."
"There will definitely be a navy of the Holy Hillan Empire stationed on the Pure Water Harbor."
"At that time, the naval forces responsible for escorting our Knights' 80,000 troops will need to attack as quickly as possible to defeat the Sheeran Navy in Bishui Port! Create conditions for landing!"
"After letting the 80,000 troops of our Knights successfully land on Bishui Port, these 80,000 troops will rush eastward along the north of the Eghar Corridor."
"The speed must be fast. You must hurry up and hurry up to the north of the Eighar Corridor and the 30 Sheeran troops located in the Eighar Corridor before they could react. They didn't know that their rear had been landed by our army, so they rushed to the north of the Eighar Corridor and took the Muggharni Fortress!"
"Because of this battle, we need to circle a large circle, from the Avalon Fortress located in the south of the Eighar Corridor, along the sea route to the Muhavic Fortress located in the north of the Eighar Corridor."
"So I named this battle - the Great Slalom of the North."
"Through a great turn, we took down the Muhavits Fortress, the important town of the Holy Sheeran Empire, and blocked the 300,000 Sheeran troops in the Eighar Corridor!"
After listening to Su Cheng talk about his bold plan, Humphrey's eyes widened in shock.
Humphrey saw this kind of battle for the first time.
For the first time, I saw this kind of battle that required the navy, the army, and the two armies to work together.
It was also the first time I had seen such a battle that crossed the sea and attacked the enemy's rear through sea routes.
While Humphrey was still shocked, Su Cheng continued:
"The reason why I invite Mr. Humphrey, you to Fortress Avalon this time is actually to get your support."
"Such a large-scale war must be supported by the central government."
"We need the central government to support me, willing to transfer the Imperial Navy to participate in this battle and build more troop transport ships to make this battle successful."
"So--I hope Mr. Humphrey, you can write a joint letter to the Central Committee and ask the Central Committee to agree to my implementation of the 'Northern Great Slide'!"
After saying that, Su Cheng took out a stack of paper.
The top piece of paper on this stack of paper clearly reads the big words "Northern Kingdom Great Swift".
"I have finished the general plan for this battle for His Majesty and the Central Committee to read and evaluate the feasibility of this feasibility last night. Now I am the only one who has signed a letter from you and me."
"With your support from Mr. Humphrey, it will undoubtedly greatly increase the possibility that the Central Committee will agree with my combat plan."
"I want to start this battle! I want to take the Muhavits Fortress and wipe out the 300,000 Sheeran troops! So - please help me, Mr. Humphrey!"
Su Cheng's words are sincere.
But Humphrey did not nod immediately to agree to Su Cheng's request.
Instead, he stroked the short beard on his chin and began to ponder.
Not long after that, Humphrey said quietly:
"...Your Excellency, you don't have to launch such a bold move. Isn't it okay to take risks?"
"We just need to hold the fortress Avalon to keep from being taken away by the Holy Hillan Empire?"
"As long as we keep guarding the fortress, the Holy Hillan Empire will always retreat."
"Although this will not result in too brilliant results, we ourselves will not lose too much."
"Your battle does sound feasible. If you succeed, you will benefit greatly, but your battle plan is still too bold."
"Even someone who doesn't know much about military affairs can see that your combat plan is full of risks, Mr. Commander."
"Why should we give up our steady style of playing and carry out such a bold battle?"
It can be seen from Humphrey's words and tone that Humphrey did not support Su Cheng's "Northern Swift".
However——As soon as Humphrey finished speaking, Su Cheng immediately replied without hesitation:
Chapter completed!
