The end of the military era

Moreover, the Ganyang Zhou family, who controlled the southwestern coastal defense fleet of the Han and Tang Empires, also destroyed the order of the Han and Tang Empires and the Bajin Empire. Our Silver Wolf Empire is also responsible for restoring these two human countries to normal. "

There are two continents in this world, the western continent has been divided up by the six great orc nations, and the eastern continent where the Han and Tang empires are located has 12 human nations.

Yegor hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Excellency, the Admiralty has just sent a batch of additional warships to the Third Fleet of the Royal Navy on Pusa Island.

目前皇家海军第三舰队已经拥有了8艘全主炮战列舰、10艘全钢制战列舰、12艘大型装甲巡洋舰、22艘轻巡洋舰、26艘驱逐舰和48艘鱼雷艇。

Due to the heavy losses of the Royal Navy in the two naval battles of Bara Island, it is only possible for the Third Fleet to maintain its current size for the time being. "

Governor Igna said in a deep voice: "The Flying Leopard Empire has signed a 20-year non-aggression treaty with our Silver Wolf Empire. Among them, we will transfer some warships to supplement the Third Fleet as soon as possible."

Yegor couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words, "Your Excellency, are you planning to launch a war against the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet of the Han and Tang Empire?"

"It's our Royal Navy of the Silver Wolf Empire, together with the Navy of the Golden Lion Empire and the Navy of the Red Tiger Empire, launching a joint war against the Southwest Coast Defense Fleet of the Han and Tang Empires!

Of course, the fuse of the war can be ignited by our Royal Navy of the Silver Wolf Empire! "

天元1539年1月16日的上午，在靠近甘阳城的海域，西南海防舰队的1艘大型装甲巡洋舰、2艘轻巡洋舰和2艘驱逐舰，正在海上例行巡逻。

At this time, a freighter flying the flag of the Silver Wolf Empire appeared on the sea in the distance, and the five warships of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet didn't care about it.

Ganyang City, as the largest port city in the western part of the Han and Tang Empires, had at least hundreds of cargo ships entering and leaving the port every day.

However, to the surprise of the five warships of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet, the freighter flying the flag of the Silver Wolf Empire rushed straight towards the five warships.

Although there were some surprises, the five warships of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet immediately sounded the battle alarm.

Then something even more surprising happened. The freighter flying the flag of the Silver Wolf Empire was about 4000 meters away from the nearest warship. It suddenly exploded and soon sank into the bottom of the sea.

Two days later, the newspaper of the Silver Wolf Empire published a report that the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet of the Han and Tang Empire had sunk the freighter of the Silver Wolf Empire for no reason, accompanied by several blurry photos.

In the Jiedu Mansion of the Three Towns in Ganyang City, Song Limin, the commander-in-chief of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet, said through gritted teeth: "Commander, this is a conspiracy of the Silver Wolf Empire.

At that time, none of the five warships of our Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet fired at the freighter! "

The Three Towns Jiedu Mansion is actually the original Zhou Mansion, but after Zhou Rui was officially appointed as the Three Towns Jiedu Envoy by the court of the Han and Tang Empires, Zhou Rui had someone make a plaque of "Three Towns Jiedu Mansion", Hanging above the gate of the Zhou Mansion.

Zhou Rui nodded and said: "Even the photos have been produced, it seems that the Silver Wolf Empire is planning to do something to our Zhou family.

Moreover, the Silver Wolf Empire has put in so much effort to come up with such an excuse, obviously trying to drag the Golden Lion Empire and the Red Tiger Empire into the water together. "

Song Limin's face turned cold in an instant, "If it's just the Third Fleet of the Silver Wolf Empire Navy, the Eighth Fleet of the Golden Lion Empire Navy, and the Fifth Fleet of the Red Tiger Empire Navy, our Southwest Coast Defense Fleet has the confidence to win the battle! "

Song Limin does have the confidence to say this now. In the second half of last year, Zhou Rui added dozens of warships to the coastal defense fleet through a three-star lottery card that was given out every month through the lottery system.

Today, the main fleet of the Coastal Defense Fleet has increased to nine, and the ninth formation is dominated by eight American Nevada-class battleships with full main guns, namely Fukuzawa, Fuwei, Fuxiang, Fuwei, Fujia, Fuchang, Welfare, and Fuyu.

The US Nevada-class battleship has a full load displacement of 28400 tons and a top speed of 20.5 knots.

装备了2座双联装45倍口径356毫米主炮，2座三联装45倍口径356毫米主炮，21门127毫米副炮。

The side armor belt is 203 mm to 343 mm, the main deck armor is 76 mm, the main turret armor is 457 mm, and the crew is full of 864 people.

The caliber of the main gun of the Nevada class has reached 356 mm, and it is also equipped with as many as 10 guns.

We must know that among the current active service of the Golden Lion Empire Navy, the most powerful battleship of the Valiant class with full main guns is only equipped with eight 8mm main guns.

With the main gun caliber and heavy armor of the Nevada class, it is enough to fight against the brave class full main gun battleship of the Golden Lion Empire Navy.

In addition, the second formation added 4 French Corbet-class all-main gun battleships Longrui, Longyin, Longjing and Longyan.

This increased the number of capital ships in the second formation to 12, including 8 French Kolbe-class battleships with full main guns and 4 British giant-class battleships with full main guns.

The third formation also added four German Kaiser-class battleships Tiansheng, Tianse, Tianya, and Tianan, increasing the number of capital ships in the third formation to ten.

At present, the nine formations of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet already have 54 all-main-gun battleships, 26 battlecruisers, and 9 all-steel battleships.

The other warships of the nine formations of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet have also increased to 24 German Scharnhorst-class large armored cruisers, 11 German York-class large armored cruisers, 54 German Wiesbaden-class light cruisers and 72 Russian unreasonable-class ships. destroyer.

Perhaps the lottery system had anticipated the situation that the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet would face in advance. On January 1 this year, Zhou Rui got a three-star lottery card for nothing from the lottery system, and a three-star lottery card from the New Year gift package. The rewards are all warships.

At this time, in the lottery system, there are still 8 American Nevada-class battleships, 4 German König-class full-main-gun battleships, and 4 British Iron Duke-class full-main-gun battleships, which have not been extracted.

Otherwise, the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet will have 16 more battleships with all main guns.

Zhou Rui sighed and said: "If it's just the fleets of these three orc nations, with the current strength of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet, I'm not worried.

But don't forget, behind these three fleets, there are three behemoths, the Golden Lion Empire, the Scarlet Tiger Empire and the Silver Wolf Empire. "

Song Limin said in a deep voice: "Marshal, now he is the one who came to you on his own initiative, and whether to fight or not is no longer up to us."

Zhou Rui suddenly changed his voice, "Old Song, how many people are there in your Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet reserve?"

When Song Limin heard Zhou Rui's words, his eyes lit up immediately, "Don't worry, Commander, we now have twice as many officers and soldiers on every post on many warships. If there are new warships, the new warships will be filled soon Form a fighting force."

At the headquarters of the Fifth Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Red Tiger Empire on Fengsha Island, the commander of the Fifth Fleet, Saweiye, poured a cup of tea for the commander of the Eighth Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Golden Lion Empire, Xivas.

"General Xievas, this time the Silver Wolf Empire is probably trying to drag the navies of our two countries into the water."

After taking a sip from the teacup, Xie Vas couldn't help admiring: "The green tea produced by the Han and Tang Empire is really delicious. When I return to China, I must bring some more and give it to my family and friends."

After a pause, Xie Vas continued: "Actually, even if the Silver Wolf Empire doesn't do anything, our Golden Lion Empire intends to take some actions against the three town governors of the Han and Tang Empires.

If the Jiedushi of the Three Towns continues to develop like this, the entire Han and Tang Empire may have to be integrated by him.

A complete Han and Tang Empire is not in the interests of our Golden Lion Empire, or even the interests of all Spirit Race countries. "

Saveye nodded and said: "Our Scarlet Tiger Empire is also unwilling to see a complete Han and Tang Empire emerge.

Now the Ministry of the Navy has authorized me the right to wage war on the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet of the Han and Tang Empires.

I invited General Xie Vas over this time, just to know if General Xie Vas's fleet will participate in the war? "

Xie Vas smiled slightly, "I am the commander-in-chief of the joint command of the three navies. If we start a war with the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet of the Han and Tang Empires, we, the Eighth Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Golden Lion Empire, are bound to do so!"

Chapter 153 Declaring War

On January 1539, 1 in Tianyuan, the Silver Wolf Empire formally lodged a complaint with the Jiedu Mansion of the Three Towns of the Han and Tang Empires, demanding that the Jiedu Mansion of the Three Towns hand over the murderer, compensate for the loss of the cargo ship, and compensate the crew members who died.

However, it is obvious that the Silver Wolf Empire has no sincerity to resolve this matter peacefully at all. The murderer refers to all the officers and soldiers on the five warships of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet.

For a cargo ship plus cargo, the Silver Wolf Empire offered 3000 million silver coins. Could it be that the cargo ship was pulling gold bricks?

What is even more exaggerated is that the Silver Wolf Empire claimed that a total of 68 crew members were killed, and each crew member demanded 200 million silver coins from the Jiedu Mansion of the Three Towns.

Regarding these unreasonable demands made by the Silver Wolf Empire, Zhou Rui rejected them all without even thinking about them.

Immediately, Zhou Rui ordered that Fengwu Town, Zhenwei Town and Jinnan Town enter the wartime system, and hundreds of supplementary regiments began to be formed in each town of the three feudal towns.
