Bab 232: The Simple Plan

The invasion of the United Kingdom was an unforeseen opportunity that Napoleon found himself orchestrating. With the French Navy poised to establish dominance in the English Channel, his chances of success were higher than ever before.

Taking a deliberate breath, Napoleon initiated the discussion. "Before delving into the specifics of our plan, there's a crucial prerequisite for the French Republic – we must secure absolute naval supremacy in the English Channel. Our Atlantic and Mediterranean Fleets are en route to this vital waterway. Their anticipated arrival is in four days. The role of our navy in this campaign cannot be overstated. They will engage the British English Channel Fleet, bolstered by our Spanish ally. Together, our combined force will comprise 160 ships, while the British opposition stands at 110."
