| Kessler studied his fleet. It had been steadily steaming upstream since leaving the dock in the pre-dawn. Now as it approached 10 am his little fleet was approaching the last last bend in the river before Klien-Hoysee and as yet no sign of the Hoysee steamer. Wemar had no illusion about what was about to happen. The Jakob was a proper warship. Purchased from Osterreich along with its two sisters The Jakob gave the Hoysee a significant naval presence in this section of the river. Keller on the other hand had little but some 200 men manning a bunch of small cutters for customs and policing duties. All that had changed and following a secret meeting with the Chancellor no less Wemar had begun to fashion a navy of some sort. The result was not great just 5 small river steamers hastily armed with a motley collection of obsolete cannon and armoured with a few bales of flax. What could they do against the iron clad turreted warship awaiting them? | Kessler studied his fleet. It had been steadily steaming upstream since leaving the dock in the pre-dawn.
