Chapter 132 Concerns of the People of Two Countries
"Although the Royal Navy is strong, it is in a state of decline. Only Liam can be considered brave and resourceful, and has the courage to fight to the death! It's just that..." Leo paused.
"Only what, General?" Dawson demanded.
"He didn't keep me this time, and he lost three battlecruisers. He will definitely be held accountable by the Talen government. I'm afraid his fate will not be good! It's also a question whether he can serve in the Royal Navy again!"
"That's perfect! We have one less big enemy. What if Liam is not dealt with?"
"Then he will be the strongest opponent of the Ocean Fleet!"
"Hehe!" Dawson suddenly laughed out loud when he heard this.
Leo looked at him in surprise, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with what I said?"
"Nothing, General. Even if Liam is the most outstanding young generation of the Royal Navy, we are not afraid! We have you. Since the general can defeat him once, then he can be defeated a second time. He will always be defeated by you!"
"Dawson, you have more confidence than me!" Leo's self-confidence was hit by the fact that he could play like this with the help of cheats. He is not some kind of dragon Aotian.
"General, under your leadership, we have nothing to fear! Because the Ocean Fleet has you, Leo Sevens, the immortal god of war blessed by the goddess of luck!" Dawson's praise made Leo feel ashamed.
"I admit that I'm favored by the goddess of luck, but calling me the immortal god of war is a bit of an exaggeration!" Leo said embarrassedly.

On the morning of December 1916, 12, Leo's raiding fleet attacked the port of the Talen Empire and sent marines to the mainland of Albion Island.
The Harwich Fleet hid in the harbor and survived with the protection of coastal defense guns, while the easternmost end of Albion Island trembled under the Drakes' 305mm cannon.
When the news came, all the people of the three islands of Tarrant, from the icy Cape of Caledonia to the foggy Portsmouth Harbor, were shocked by the collapse of the myth of the Royal Navy's invincibility.
The people stopped what they were doing, the gentlemen in tall hats stopped walking, the afternoon tea during the rest period no longer tasted sweet, and everyone looked towards the direction of Qilasa Bay where the large fleet was anchored.
The suppressed anger in their hearts grew stronger and stronger, and the embarrassment appeared on the faces of all the Talens. The stubborn and rigid Albion people were filled with righteous indignation, and they kept talking about their conservative Commander Jericho and the arrogant Leo, almost going crazy.
Just when the Talens were feeling depressed, confused and helpless, Liam Taylor, a naval genius who was said to be highly regarded by Prime Minister Hochukis, fought bravely against barbarians in the colonies and the Far East, and captured aristocratic girls with her elegant temperament, emerged.
The people of Talen placed their hopes on this young and promising Liam, hoping that he could bring victory to the three islands of Talen, just like Nelson, who led the Royal Navy to dominate the oceans in the Middle Ages.
The news that Vice Admiral Liam was leading the fleet to attack comforted the nervous people a little. The urgent editions of major media newspapers in Talen were swept away by the Talen people who wanted to get accurate information about the Royal Navy's latest actions.
In the Royal Palace Square in the Fog City, in the forests and plains of Albion Island, in Nelson's hometown, in the country church in Manx, and in the hills of northern Caledonia, every word in the newspaper is read over and over again by the people of Tarrant, and no details that may be missed are missed.
It is the wish of all Talen people now to wipe out the wanton Leo raiding fleet. Intercepting the Leo fleet returning from the port of Delis is the last chance for the big fleet to wash away the humiliation imposed on the Talen people.
The hypocritical Albion people threw away their self-proclaimed civilized reserve and regained the brutality and ferocity in their pirate blood. They would take revenge! Zero tolerance for humiliation! On the night of the 19th, most of the Talen people who loved their motherland could not sleep. More than 100 nautical miles away in the North Sea, outstanding young men of the Royal Navy were fighting bloody battles for them. They were waiting and wanted to get the news as soon as possible!
This was a period of torment for both sides. The huge army of the Drak Empire was at a standstill in the northern part of the Fran Republic. The Drak people, who had been fighting on two fronts for a long time, became increasingly pessimistic about the tense war. However, the news from the Imperial Propaganda Department on the 19th quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys of Platinum and even the entire empire. Now even a small victory was enough to appease people, not to mention that this was a big surprise.
In front of the Arc de Triomphe, under the government Capitol, in the private clubs of military nobles, and next to the ovens of civilians, the Drakes gathered in groups of three or five, eagerly exchanging their superficial understanding of the navy, Leo, and naval warfare.
They knew that the Ocean Fleet was founded by Marshal Piltz, and that Leo and Apewen were the best commanders of the Ocean Fleet today.
They did not understand the specific operations of the navy or why so many cannons and huge ships were built, but they were sure of one thing, that is, this powerful fleet was a force for protection.
The naval hero Leo once again surprised them. He led the fleet to do something that no other country in the world would even dare to think about.
The bombardment of Talen Harbor and the landing on the enemy's homeland, the island of Albion, which had not suffered war for hundreds of years, was ravaged by the Drake Navy, and the passion of the Drake people, who were eager for victory, was ignited.
Leo, who was already a household name, became famous again in the Drake Empire and even the world. He was the initiator of dreadnoughts, battlecruisers, and unrestricted submarine warfare; he had repeatedly beaten and annihilated the Japanese navy in the Far East; since the war began, he had fought with the Royal Navy many times, sinking more than a dozen Talen warships of various sizes. Leo had already become the undefeated god of war of the Drake people without knowing it.
On December 12, the Drake people, who had not been happy for long, became worried again. Liam, one of the best commanders of the Royal Navy, led seven battleships south to intercept the returning Leo fleet.
The news spread widely, blowing along the autumn wind across the entire land of the Drake Empire. In the Kaili Naval Port, old Frank was still smoking cheap cigarettes, but this time he wanted to wait for his son to return. Next to him was Mia, an old woman who cursed the Talen people loudly; Leo's wife Hannah coaxed her daughter, her father was in the distant sea and would soon return home.
In the Platinum Country Villa, a lady dressed elegantly stood in a trance with two clay figures in her hand, one of which looked very much like Leo. In the distant Danzig Bay of the Sarmatian Sea, the excited sailors of the Drake battlecruiser shouted "Unbeatable God of War! Blessed by the Goddess of Luck!"
On the war-torn Western Front, exhausted soldiers gathered around a radio station, eating and waiting for good news from the navy.
