Chapter 967 Clemenceau's Lies
......
Xiao Meng looked at the current known situation.
The situation at Gibraltar Fortress was not dire.
After learning about the situation at the venue, Warspite said he would leave a portion of his forces to garrison the area and then lead the main fleet to provide support.
Unable to contact the local area, they can only take it one step at a time.
If more support is needed from the mainland, she will bring even more people with her.
The situation at Malta Fortress was much more dire; the garrison fleet had been surrounded within the fortress under a fierce enemy attack.
After assessing the actual situation, Prince Eugen agreed to lead the Ironblood Fleet to Malta to provide support.
They will then return to the venue to regroup with the Royal Navy.
The main fleet of the Vichy Papacy was stationed in the port of Toulon.
However, it only gave a public response in the communications, refusing to provide any intelligence and also declining the invitation for joint operations.
For now, we can only wait and see how things develop...
The situation in the Sardinian Empire is also not optimistic.
Not long ago, Marco Polo appeared to have attempted to use the Senate's authorization to control the Sardinian fleet.
However, it failed to succeed for various reasons.
Now that communications have been restored, Veneto has regained control.
Currently, the fighting around Taranto Fortress has temporarily ended, and the Sardinian Empire's garrison fleet is standing by.
Littorio, the second-in-command of the Sardinian Empire's fleet, is currently in Venice on business.
They immediately went to a safe bunker after the attack and were isolated, but were still relatively safe.
Veneto originally intended to send the Taranto fleet to Venice for rescue.
However, Littorio said that a distant solution is not enough to solve an immediate problem, and she would try other methods to get out of trouble.
It was also stated that in this critical situation...
She might utilize the mass-produced Siren IV-class warship fleet left behind by Jiang Mengyue.
If necessary, she can also send the fleet to the venue to provide support.
Xiao Meng responded that she would hold back for now.
The capital of the Sardinian Empire was also attacked.
However, thanks to the timely response of the garrison fleet and support from the mainland, the battle is now nearing its end.
Rome, which is of the Veneto class, stated that it would bring its garrison fleet to the venue after ensuring the safety of the capital.
She also provided important information: Marco Polo's throne is currently glowing and hovering over some sea area, seemingly undergoing some kind of ritual.
Also noteworthy is Alexandria, where a Sardinian Empire fleet was supposed to be stationed, but calls to it went unanswered, and its current status is unclear.
Taranto has already dispatched reconnaissance aircraft towards Alexandria, and we believe we will soon receive more accurate information.
The entire fleet of the Sardinian Empire, and the land and sea fleets of the Royal Navy and the Vichy Papacy.
In addition, there was the combined fleet of various factions assembled at the expo venue.
Overall, the fleet forces involved in the "Kingdom of Gods" are quite formidable.
Xiao Meng believes.
Even in the face of such an unfavorable situation...
As long as we unite as one, we still have a chance of winning!
......
after a while.
At Mount Vesuvius.
An active volcano that buried the ancient city of Pompeii in the past and is known as the most dangerous volcano in Europe.
At this moment, a woman dressed in a black robe and gorgeous clothes is standing on the edge of the cliff, gazing at the crater above an altitude of 1,200 meters.
The numerous transparent communication windows floating in mid-air around her indicated that she was not just there for sightseeing.
And her identity is none other than Jean Bart's sister, Clemenceau, the leader of the inquisition.
"Climbing to a high place allows one to see far."
"The fresh air not only helps keep your mind calm, but also relieves fatigue while waiting."
Everything is ready.
"The east wind is about to blow..."
drop----
"Lord Clemenceau! Are you listening?! Where are you now?"
Marco Polo's voice came from one of the communication windows.
Clemenceau casually made up a lie.
"It's Marco Polo. I've already arrived on the outskirts of Rome."
“The road covered by the ‘Scar of God’ is really inconvenient to move around. It took me a lot of effort.”
Marco Polo had no doubt whatsoever.
Instead, she complained, "That's why I told you not to wait until the last minute!"
Clemenceau smiled slightly: "What if I go too early and arouse suspicion?"
Marco Polo said irritably, "Fine, fine... I won't argue with you."
Clemenceau feigned ignorance, asking, "Judging from your tone, the plan isn't going well?"
Marco Polo seemed to have found an outlet for his frustrations.
He started pouring out his grievances.
"The parts that went smoothly went very smoothly, but the parts that didn't go smoothly... went very badly!"
"I'm so angry! You know what? Those guys in the venue are still putting up a stubborn resistance!"
"I originally wanted to mobilize the Sardinian Empire's fleet to suppress them, but those pedantic blockheads only know how to talk about Veneto, Veneto, Veneto!"
"They don't respect me at all, and none of them listen to my orders!"
"What's wrong with your expo venue?! Can't that annoying Aurora Wall be turned off remotely?!"
Clemenceau smiled slightly, seemingly pleased to hear Marco Polo suffer a setback.
"If it can be easily shut down remotely, it wouldn't be considered an impenetrable divine barrier."
"But this is, after all, a fake that borrows the name of God. It can't possibly stop the real 'God's Machine', can it?"
Marco Polo was somewhat troubled. "If we attack seriously, that's how it is! But alas..."
After sighing, Marco Polo went on to recount her current problems and grievances.
"As you know, my main focus right now is on the ceremony."
"The descent of God is not yet complete. I need to concentrate on the ritual and cannot spare too much energy to mobilize the divine machinery."
"It's all those few perceptive people's fault for noticing the problem immediately... otherwise, this step wouldn't have been necessary!"
"Is the Vichy Papacy's fleet still on standby?"
"Let them join the fight and remove the thorns from the venue!"
"Don't forget our agreement: if my plan goes wrong, your dream will be ruined too!"
Faced with Marco Polo's insignificant threat.
Clemenceau tried her best to suppress her smile and maintain her aloof persona.
She knew that Marco Polo spoke without thinking and had never bothered to find out what kind of people were around her.
This was already evident when she failed to mobilize the Sardinian Empire's fleet.
But, since it was Marco Polo's request...
Clemenceau was also willing to give it a push.
However, the consequences...
Clemenceau had already figured it out based on her understanding of her sister.
"Of course, the Vichy Papacy fleet will not stand idly by."
"I will immediately mobilize the main Papal fleet that is on standby in Toulon Port to join the battle."
"Jean Barthes, are you listening?"
Jean Bart's communications were very quick to respond, and their communication was unlike that of Xiao Meng.
It was filled with noise and turbulence.
It was as if there was absolutely no interference.
"Clemenceau...? Is the order to launch an attack finally coming?"
Clemenceau could tell that Jean Bart had been waiting for this opportunity.
However, she'll have to be disappointed for now.
"Well, finally, the order to launch an attack is coming."
"You should be ready to launch an attack by now, right?"
Jean Bart thought his sister had changed her mind.
She became quite excited.
"Is that even a question? We've been so worried watching those monsters wreak havoc outside."
"Tell me, which enemy should we deal with first?"
What Clemenceau ordered next shocked Jean Bart immensely, and his heart sank.
