Chương 1731: Napoleon's Prison Escape (3)

The moment these words were spoken, the surrounding sailors looked as if they were struck by lightning. Their faces turned extremely ugly and they all had bitter faces, not knowing how to deal with the situation at all.

Napoleon actually escaped!

This was something they had never expected. They originally thought that this mission was foolproof, after all, the naval hero Garp was personally guarding it. Who would have thought that Napoleon would find a way to escape?

This news was like a bolt from the blue to the navy who came to support. They immediately realized the seriousness of the matter and reported the news of Napoleon's escape to their superiors without hesitation.

However, when the news finally reached Zhan Guo, he did not show anger or shock like others.

Instead, he just glanced at the information expressionlessly, then threw it aside like trash, not even bothering to look at it again.

At the same time, some well-informed newspapers soon learned about Napoleon's escape through information received from some naval forces.

This is simply a godsend opportunity for them!

These newspapers immediately smelled the business opportunity. They knew that such big news would definitely attract widespread attention from the society, so they quickly printed out the news and sent it to all parts of the world as quickly as possible.

In order to grab the headlines, these newspapers have tried their best to come up with various headlines: "Poseidon Napoleon escapes from prison!"

"Napoleon escapes from the hands of the naval hero Garp!"

"It seems that the navy did not want to offend the Rockefeller family and let Napoleon go!"

For a time, all kinds of news spread like wildfire, and the whole world was shocked by this sudden news.

Many people with discerning eyes have already seen the trick and started to make various speculations and doubts about the matter.

After all, we can see some clues from Garp's route.

He went through so much trouble but still didn't send Napoleon back to the naval headquarters. Anyone with a little common sense could guess the reason.

However, even though everyone knows the truth clearly, no one is willing to break the window paper directly.

You know, this is not a trivial matter. If someone really tells this matter out, it would offend the two most powerful forces in the ocean at the same time - the World Government and the Rockefeller Kingdom!

Neither of these two behemoths is something that small characters like them can afford to provoke.

Therefore, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, everyone chose to remain silent. Adhering to the principle that less trouble is worse than more, no one wanted to say anything at this time.

However, truth will eventually come out, and as the news continued to spread, the matter inevitably became known.

The Rockefeller Kingdom learned the news at the first opportunity.

They had been waiting on Came Island for three days, but had not received any news from Napoleon. Just when the Rockefeller family was preparing to declare war on the Red Earth Continent, this news came like a bolt from the blue, shocking them.

"Sure enough, the World Government is not ready to declare a full-scale war on our Rockefeller Kingdom!"

Charlotte held the newspaper tightly in her hand and muttered to herself.

"Great! Napoleon ran away on his own!"

Caesar shouted excitedly, his voice full of surprise and relief.

After seeing this news, his originally gloomy face instantly turned into a smile, like a dark cloud penetrated by the sun.

It seemed as if all the worries and sorrows of the past few days disappeared at this moment.

When the people around heard the news, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

They were originally worried about Napoleon's capture, fearing that it would bring unexpected changes to their plans.

However, now, this variable has been resolved in an unexpected way, making everyone feel relieved.

Charlotte's eyes swept across the people who were ready to go. Although there was not much expression on his face, his eyes revealed a hint of decisiveness and calmness.

He slowly said, "Everyone disperse. The Beihai plan will be postponed for two months. We will mobilize again in May!"

This decision surprised everyone present, after all, the original plan was to launch an attack on the North Sea in March.

However, due to Napoleon's capture, plans had to be adjusted.

Now time is running out and March is just around the corner. It is obviously too late to continue according to the original plan.

Charlotte knew very well that although this delay was a bit helpless, it was also the best option at the moment.

Fortunately, the Rockefeller Kingdom's actions have always been very secretive. In addition, most of the World Government's power is concentrated in the South China Sea and is engaged in a fierce competition with the Revolutionary Army. For the time being, the Rockefeller Kingdom's actions have not been noticed.

However, all this is not completely unexpected.

After all, who could have imagined that the Rockefeller Kingdom would be so ingenious as to choose to launch a war of annihilation from a seemingly impossible place like the Doldrums?

This unique strategic choice not only cleverly avoided the close surveillance of the world government, but also won them precious time and space, allowing their actions to proceed smoothly.

"Yes!"

Esdeath nodded without hesitation, indicating that she would fully obey Charlotte's orders.

However, deep in her heart, she couldn't help but feel a hint of disappointment.

She was originally full of infinite expectations for this war, and was eager to fully demonstrate her unparalleled strength and courage on the bloody and cruel battlefield.

But now, the forced postponement of the plan means that she still needs to wait patiently for a while, which undoubtedly poured cold water on her blazing enthusiasm and cooled it down a little.

What is shocking is that in just three days, the Rockefeller Kingdom was able to quickly and efficiently assemble such a large army - a full 100, 000 people!

This amazing mobilization capability is truly jaw-dropping, and makes people admire the strength and organizational capabilities of this kingdom with new eyes.

However, such a powerful army is now like a giant beast with its hands and feet bound, with no place to display its might that shakes the world.

The Rockefeller Kingdom completed the mobilization of more than 100, 000 troops in such a short period of time. This action undoubtedly brought great shock to many external forces.

The World Government in particular could not help but have deep doubts about their own abilities.

You know, even when facing a powerful opponent like the Whitebeard Pirates, the navy needs to prepare and mobilize 100, 000 troops a month in advance.
