The morning mist is getting thicker.

The ocean has its unique charm and can always inadvertently distort people's correct view of things.

As long as the water tornado is not experienced in person, the observation effect is nothing more than a twisted white line.

As long as the storm that ruins the world goes with the flow, you will be able to see the calm storm in a short while. Although the ending is still desperate, the process is enough to make people forget the true appearance of the storm.

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

The sea fog in Lerobel Bay is not high, lingering on the islands and reefs, rippling with the sea waves.

Judging from the hull of this ship, the main height of this layer of fog is about 80 cm, and the thinner it gets higher and more than one meter higher, so the naked eye can't tell it.

But it was born on the island and reef zone. The most common low reef on weekdays was covered by a vast fog scene. The originally twisted and clear waterway was lost, leaving only a few protruding sea rocks and small islands.

The French defence fleet broke in at this moment.

Standing on the Badger's lookout, Nelson pinched the viewing glass and was speechless for a long time.

Underestimate your opponent!

When setting up the battlefield, Nelson believed that he had evaluated most of the variables at the beginning of the war.

From the perspective of military strength, the French, who owned a fourth-class ship and a fifth-class ship, had an overwhelming advantage over the four small boats on Halloween in terms of firepower and military power.

In terms of hydrological intelligence, it is impossible for one side to compete with his home opponents when playing away.

Negotiable defeat will be inevitable, guerrillas will be difficult to win. From the time this plan is submitted, Nelson understood the difficulty of winning.

But he still submitted a plan for the Halloween action, bet on his life and Sir Parker's trust, 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 difference in combat power between the two sides through tactics, courage and awareness.

The Lerobel final battle is a concentrating all of this.

In his plan, the French would come out in full swing due to the Lucky Horseshoe's battle damage, look up the human wind chimes at the gate of hell, and then lose their minds, relying on the strong ships and the advantage of the geographical environment to launch a strong attack on the islands and reefs.

With the advantages that the French have, such risky behavior is still in the "normal decision-making category".

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

That's why Nelson recognized Lorraine's plan to bombard 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 tragic ravage of the local town will become the key motivation for the French to face the hasty fight.

He thought he had calculated everything.

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

Only, he forgot to count!

Leo von Gerwodon, admiral of the French defense fleet, a major general, ordinary noble, and hereditary Count.

Among the information mastered by Britain, Count Rewodon was a lucky person who was deeply favored by the god of war.

At the age of sixteen, he joined the army as a family illegitimate son, without experience in a sea school, and started as a corporal rank.

In the following twenty years, he participated in a total of fifty-seven naval battles. Regardless of victory or defeat, the warships he served were unscathed and had many achievements.

His career was also rising to the top. He was named a lord and major at the age of 29 and became the captain. He was a baron at the age of 32 and a lieutenant colonel at the age of 33 and transferred to the New World at the age of 35. He was appointed viscount at the age of 38 and promoted to major general. At the age of 42, he was promoted to the earl for his contribution to suppressing bandits and led the defense fleet. It has been more than five years since then.

In the French Navy, Rewo was not given the title of "Appointment of Heaven" and the title of "Appointment of Heaven" was not high, his connections were not wide, and he could not rank among the same age group.

But he is one of the few stable people.

Whether it is war or political struggle, there are obviously many people who are better than him, but like him, who can always be with victory for thirty years, it seems that he can't find a second one.

There must be a reason for this!

It was not until the sudden raid that Nelson truly realized that there must be a reason why this old man, who seemed ordinary at first glance, could always find a hiding place for victory.

This is an amazing talent!

"The width of the island and reef belt is about ten kilometers, and the straight-line distance between the entrance of the bay and Lerobert is more than one hundred kilometers. The fire burned so vigorously last night that I could hear the sound of cannons and see the flames. It is impossible for the outer edge of the bay to know nothing about Lerobert's experience."

"The family glory did not warn in advance, and it was obviously exposed and it was likely to be sunk."

"The source of information... logging out of the bay, entering and leaving Lerobert by land, if there is a fast horse, it only takes two or three hours to go back and forth."

"Suppose that the family Glory has been sunk for more than twelve hours, Rewodon will have enough time to grasp all the information in the bay."

"He forced himself to endure the humiliation of the Gate of Hell, and saw Lerobert burning to white ground, and hundreds of French pioneers were buried in war."

"He knew that our strength was far inferior to him, and there was no possibility of winning a head-on war."

"In this case, he still waited for the opportunity that was most beneficial to him."

"Although the sea fog increases the risk of his fleet passing through the islands and reefs, as long as there is a charge boat leading the way in front, coupled with his detailed knowledge of hydrology, it is not an insurmountable natural barrier."

"But we have lost the details of the channel, and most importantly, we cannot achieve a complete blockade if we cannot clarify the exit of the channel."

"And the Golden Deer, which has the strongest combat power, has no ability to move for the time being. Lucky Horseshoe is chasing slave ships. In order to protect the Golden Deer, it is impossible to join the blockade in a short time."

"Badgers and wasps, three waterways, and the island and reef belts are inevitably broken."

"A cold-blooded general, a beautiful choice...Is this the favor the God of Victory gives you?"

“Learned…”

He talked to himself in an extremely messy manner. Nelson had no intention of organizing language and did not intend to tell anyone.

He just wanted to tell himself that the opponent had already taken the lead in this decisive battle, his advantage was gone, and every decision that followed would be related to life and death.

At this moment, the first mate who was in charge of the situation on the deck suddenly climbed up the mast himself.

"Admiral, the Golden Deer is urgently informed, President Drake reports to you. First, [The ground attack mission has been completed, the Golden Deer starts naval combat adjustment, the estimated time is fifty minutes], Second, [I want the Jupiter. If the Admiral is willing, I can exchange the Andes, hope it will be allowed], the report is completed!"

Nelson couldn't help but stand there.

In fifty minutes, the elite British navy could only complete the debugging of artillery and center of gravity, which meant that Lorraine was ready to stand on the messy deck to participate in the battle, and the Golden Deer's combat power was reduced by at least 20%.

Moreover, they had only completed a night of battle, and their physical strength, energy, psychology, and desire were all at a low point. Are the sailors willing to participate in the war? Even if they participated in the war, their combat power would be reduced by at least another 30%.

Do Lorraine really plan to use the Golden Deer, which has 50% combat power to fight the Andes, the patrol ship with 60 guns alone?

This madman who always puts safety first has really reached the critical moment of life and death. He can be so decisive and confident?

How could you lose to you!

Nelson laughed, his cold smile hanging on the corner of his mouth, his skin moving but his flesh still making people unable 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?"

"Route 5 is two Brig-type frigates, advancing slowly. Channel 1 is the Gaelen-type destroyer Jupiter, which also advancing slowly. Channel 4 is the French flagship, and the Gaelen-type frigate Andes and Brig-type one is both confirmed."

"I am determined to win... Juwo is the Earl." Nelson put away his pocket watch, "At 5:27, the time was ordered to block the Waister Channel 5 and not to contact the enemy ship of the No. 4. The Badger will anchor and block the No. 1. This order will be executed immediately and will not be delayed."

"yes!"

"I would like to draw a document and let the stormtrooper hand it to Drake, the main content... I will tell him that I will transfer the stormtrooper of the Badger to him. If he can really sink or capture the Andes, then after the battle is won, Jupiter will be his reward, and there is no need to pay an additional price."

"yes!"

"The final battle has begun..." Nelson took a deep breath, "please ask Second Lieutenant Fran to tell Drake that this is only once, may God bless him."
Chapter completed!
