Capítulo 930: Chapter 580: Warning! Warning!
Sea God Fleet. Command ship.
After Tang Fei’s warplanes took off, Philip returned to the VIP lounge with a group of close aides.
“Your Highness, Chief Yi Qiushi just called and requested that you return to the palace imdiately,” the captain of the guard, Howard, approached and reported in a low voice.
“What else did he say?”
“He said if Your Highness does not return soon… the King will co to see you personally.”
Philip sighed gently, saying, “It seems my father’s patience truly has run out.”
“Your Highness, it would be best to make a trip back…,” Howard advised, “If the King truly cos, Your Highness is likely to face reprimands.”
“If I return voluntarily, I won’t be reprimanded?” Philip sneered repeatedly, saying, “However, I truly do need to make a trip back. The matters here also need proper communication with my father. After this battle, he should have a better understanding of the situation. It’s ti to change his view on Phoenix’s future national status.”
“If the Phoenix Empire has only one leader in the future, that person will definitely be Tang Fei. Shen Wuxiang only appears dominant but is hardly a match for the cunning and fox-like Tang Fei.”
Philip was not worried in his heart. After all, he had led the Sea God Fleet thousands of miles to assist and had achieved significant victories.
Not only had they consud the main force of Shen Wuxiang’s Beihai Fleet, but they had also shared in the spoils of victory: jointly stationed at Liyu Port with the remnants of the Beihai Fleet incorporated by Tang Fei.
This is no small feat; if praised loudly, it could even be called a monuntal achievent of ‘territorial expansion.’
Wanting to station troops in another country is extrely difficult, sothing the Aus Empire has not achieved after fighting Phoenix for decades, yet he managed to do it effortlessly…
Furthermore, the strategic value of the Liyu Port is imnse.
By establishing bases here, they can continuously transport various military branches from Aus.
Advancing for attack, retreating for defense.
King Lionheart has been ambitious, always wanting to conquer this neighboring giant empire.
I have opened a huge gap for him.
“Antonio,” Prince Philip called out.
“Your Highness.” Antonio bowed in salute.
He was the head of the Sea God Fleet, the de facto fleet commander.
It’s just that the Sea God Fleet is under the leadership and jurisdiction of Prince Philip.
mbers of the Royal Family, after all, should always be superior.
“You stay and be responsible for establishing the base at Liyu Port for the Sea God Fleet.”
“Yes, Your Highness.” Antonio responded.
He then asked, “Do you have any instructions, Your Highness?”
“Hmm… Stationing together with the Beihai Fleet will surely cause so conflicts. Pay attention to the working thods to maintain good relations with our allies.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
“Of course, do not be overly weak, constantly yielding. Necessary interests should still be fought for.”
“I really like the ancient saying of the Phoenix people: What cannot be gained on the battlefield cannot be gained at the negotiating table.”
“You have the support of the entire Aus Empire behind you. Neither Tang Fei nor Shen Wuxiang would want to fight on two fronts.”
“Yes, Your Highness. I guarantee to complete the mission.”
“Furthermore… The Beihai Fleet, having recently been defeated, incorporated by Tang Fei’s side, is surely in a state of unrest within, filled with fears and uncertainties about the future…”
“If there’s an opportunity, we could also strive for so people’s support and loyalty. Of course, this must be done secretly. Do not let Tang Fei’s side detect it.”
“Yes, Your Highness.” Antonio, chubby and smiling, looking more like a wealthy businessman than a fleet commander, said, “I was originally worried that Your Highness and General Tang Fei were very close, the hottest friends… In that case, our people wouldn’t be able to perform.”
“On the battlefield, where are there friends?” Prince Philip asked in response.
“What Your Highness says is true. With your words, we can proceed without restraint.”
Philip nodded, his gaze falling on Buton and Nicholas’ faces: “Buton, Nicholas, you both have dealt with Tang Fei, and seem to get along very well… You two also stay, primarily to liaise and communicate with Tang Fei’s side, assisting General Antonio’s work.”
Buton and Nicholas felt bitter in their hearts; Your Highness said they ‘get along very well’ with Tang Fei. What does that an?
Has he already begun to doubt our loyalty?
We really aren’t that close…
“Your Highness, I still hope to go back with you. My ho is in Aus, my heart is with you,” Buton imdiately stated.
“Your Highness, I also wish to serve by your side. Perhaps there might be things like tea serving and water pouring for to do,” Nicholas agreed quickly, not wanting to appear foolish.
Philip scrutinized the two for a mont and asked, “Do you think… I am questioning your loyalty?”
“No, no, absolutely not.”
“Yes, Your Highness, we are your most loyal warriors.”
“I know what kind of person Tang Fei is; he is a…,” Philip pondered for a mont as if considering the appropriate term: “a fellow who is always digging pits for people at any ti.”
“He purposely acts close to you in front of , intending to drive a wedge between us… If I am thus suspicious, and you think I am questioning you… his goal will be achieved.”
“You are Aus people; your hos and honors are in Aus… I trust your loyalty.”
“So, stay behind without worry and earnestly complete the tasks I’ve assigned.”
