Chapter 1196: The Battle of Anga Lake Begins (Part 2)
"I am honored! I can personally command a war that can destroy the Britannia Empire!"
"I am honored! I can share this supreme honor of destroying the country with everyone present!"
"Destroy all the ships of the Britannian Army across Lake Anga!"
"Fight until the entire Britannia army collapses! Fight until the surface of Lake Anga is filled with the blood of the Britannias!"
Otto has always been eloquent and good at speaking.
What he just said was quite contagious.
Many generals in front of him were affected by his speech, and looked at Otto with fiery and excited eyes.
Otto's own emotions were also aroused by his passionate speech just now.
His tone became more and more passionate, he took a deep breath, and then shouted loudly:
"Send my military order——! Blow the charge horn..."
Woo——! Woo——! Woo——! Woo——! Woo——!
Before Otto could even utter the last syllable, horns sounded suddenly one after another.
This horn sound did not come from the formation of their Frank army.
It came from the formation of the Britannia Army on the opposite side.
This high-spirited horn resounded across the sky, giving people the illusion that they could hear this passionate horn from any corner of the world.
Otto's speech was abruptly interrupted by the sound of the trumpet.
The face that was originally very rosy due to emotion now became extremely ugly.
Turn your neck and look behind yourself.
At the center of this passionate horn, the military formation of the Britannia Army underwent changes that were visible to the naked eye.
Nearly 30 warships rushed out of the neat array and headed straight towards them.
The first offensive in this battle was taken away by the Britannia army.
Looking at the nearly 30 Britannia warships attacking them, Doppler twitched the corner of his mouth and whispered in a volume that only he could hear clearly:
"It's so embarrassing... The speech happened to be at the most passionate moment, but it was interrupted like this. General Hollweger, who has always been proud and saves his face, would be so angry that he would vomit blood."
Just like Doppler said.
Otto was furious now.
It was enough that the first attack in this battle was taken away by the Britannian army.
The opportunity to seize the initiative to attack was so precise. It happened to be stuck at the moment when Otto announced the attack and reached the most passionate stage of his speech.
This gave Otto a strong feeling of depression, as if he punched the wall but ended up empty-handed.
"Asshole...!"
Otto gritted his teeth and cursed secretly.
After taking a few deep breaths to regain his composure, Otto turned his head back and showed his not-so-pretty face to the generals.
Although the accident happened suddenly, Otto quickly thought of what to say to resolve his current embarrassing situation.
"It seems that our opponent is really vulnerable!"
"That Su Cheng doesn't seem to be worthy of his name!"
"It's obviously the disadvantaged side.
But instead of taking a defensive stance, he rushed to die in a hurry! "
"Since they are so summoned to die, then we will help them!"
"Guyunse!"
Otto shouted his lieutenant's name.
As soon as he finished speaking, his adjutant also quickly came out of the queue and ran quickly to Otto. While performing the military salute of their Frank Empire, they loudly echoed:
"The official is here!"
"In this battle, you will be the vanguard of our army!"
"yes!"

at the same time--
Su Chengjun, flagship Hyperion.
"Commander... Do we really not take a defensive position first and observe the enemy's combat style..." Willy said to Su Cheng in a cautious tone, "I think it is a bit reckless to launch an attack directly... Although Our offense is not a forceful attack without strategy..."
"What nonsense are you talking about, Willy." Su Cheng chuckled and shrugged, "Our war this time is the 'Eastern Expedition'."
"We are here to drive all the Franks back to the east bank of the Rhine."
"Since we are here to take the initiative to attack and drive the Franks back, then we should be the first to start this war, right?"

…
295 AD of the Britannia Empire.
The combined fleet of the Michael Knights and the Imperial Navy faced off against the Royal Fleet of the Frankish Empire.
The [Lake Anga Water War], which will determine the future destiny of the two countries, begins here.
…
…
Currently, there are 4 types of warships in the Britannia Empire, and the empire's naval fleet is also composed of these 4 types of warships.
These 4 types of ships are -
Battleship No. 1: The main battleship of the Britannia Army. It is specially made from the 'ironwood' that is a specialty of the western part of the empire. It is extremely hard and sturdy. It has four decks and is specially used to ram enemy ships. The fleet's The flagship, the Hipperian, is the No. 1 ship.
However, because the Hipperian is the flagship, in order to highlight the power of the flagship, the Hipperian has been modified, so the volume of the Hipperian is much larger than the ordinary No. 1 battleship.
Warship No. 2: A smaller ship, mostly used for close combat and chasing enemies.
Warship No. 3: Sentinel Ship. The smallest ship, a ship specially used for patrolling and searching for enemies.
No. 4 warship: transport ship. It is used to transport food and supplies and to place logistical personnel such as military doctors. Although it is not a ship specifically used for combat, when the war is tense, the transport ship can be slightly modified and used as a No. 2 warship specifically used for close combat.
Although the fleet lost a lot of warships in the "Great Turn of the North" operation three years ago and the subsequent storm, because the central government witnessed the extraordinary performance of the navy on the battlefield in the "Great Turn of the North" operation, and in order to prepare for the subsequent development of the New World, the Britannia Empire has tilted resources to the navy in the past three years to strengthen the navy's combat power.
Although the current total military strength of the navy is still only over 20,000, the number of warships they have is no longer the same as it was three years ago.
The Britannia Empire's naval fleet currently has 75 No. 1 warships, 183 No. 2 warships, 84 No. 3 warships, and 618 No. 4 warships.
The total number of ships is 960.
These 960 warships of various models are all the current water combat power of the Britannia Empire.
When Su Cheng was still in the North and wrote to Mude and others, asking them to lead the fleet to assist the Knights of Michael to go south, Su Cheng specifically noted in the letter that he asked Mude to bring all the ships of their navy.
As early as that time, Su Cheng had already prepared for the subsequent water battle with the Frankish army.
Although Mude didn't understand why Su Cheng asked them to bring all the ships of their navy at that time, out of trust in Su Cheng, Mude still did it obediently and brought all the warships of their navy, without leaving any deck in the naval headquarters and any branch base.
