The end of the military era

The high-sounding words of the Golden Lion Empire were obviously aimed at the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet of the Han and Tang Empires.

The three main fleets were mobilized at once, which shows how much the Golden Lion Empire cares about the defeat in the naval battle of Gaosnail Island.

Knowing that the Golden Lion Empire is planning to deploy three main fleets, the Red Tiger Empire and the Silver Wolf Empire also became active immediately, and contacted the Golden Lion Empire one after another, hoping to form a joint fleet of three navies to completely solve the cancer of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet of the Han and Tang Empires. .

However, to the surprise of the Red Tiger Empire and the Silver Wolf Empire, the Golden Lion Empire rejected the proposal to immediately form a joint fleet of the three navies, and planned to kill the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet of the Han and Tang Empires alone.

In a palace in the palace of Shuguang City, the capital of the Red Tiger Empire, the Minister of the Navy, Svia, reported to Emperor Gruyan about the Golden Lion Empire's refusal to form a joint fleet of the three navies.

Minister of the Navy Svia continued: "Your Majesty, according to the information obtained by the intelligence department, this time the Golden Lion Empire has drawn almost all the main forces of the Second Fleet, the Third Fleet and the Seventh Fleet, forming a very large-scale fleet. expeditionary fleet.

总计有72艘全主炮战列舰、66艘全钢制战列舰、64艘大型装甲巡洋舰、120艘轻巡洋舰和140艘驱逐舰，不过却没有编入陆军部队。”

Gruyan, the emperor of the Scarlet Tiger Empire, smiled slightly, "The Golden Lion Empire is really in a hurry this time, and the first move is three main fleets.

It seems that by eliminating the southwestern coastal defense fleet of the Han and Tang Empires, the negative impact of the Gaosnail Island naval battle on the Golden Lion Empire would be eliminated. "

The Minister of the Navy, Svia, immediately flattered Emperor Gruyan, "It's still His Majesty who has a far-sighted vision and can see clearly.

His Majesty once said that the navy of the Golden Lion Empire is just a paper tiger. Indeed, the navy of the Golden Lion Empire exposed many problems during the naval battle on Gaosnail Island.

In the end, 10 all-main-gun battleships and 9 all-steel battleships surrendered to humans, which completely embarrassed the Eldar. "

Emperor Gruyan said in a calm tone: "A navy that has not experienced the test of war for more than 30 years, no matter how many battleships with full main guns, its combat effectiveness will not be so strong.

Moreover, the Golden Lion Empire is really self-righteous. If they can contact the Fifth Fleet and Sixth Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Red Tiger Empire and the Third Fleet of the Silver Wolf Empire Navy before the battle, and choose to fight jointly, then the naval battle of Gaosnail Island The result will definitely not be what it is now. "

目前赤虎帝国海军第五舰队拥有14艘全主炮战列舰、12艘全钢制战列舰、16艘大型装甲巡洋舰、32艘轻巡洋舰、28艘驱逐舰和52艘鱼雷艇。

赤虎帝国海军第六舰队拥有12艘全主炮战列舰、10艘全钢制战列舰、12艘大型装甲巡洋舰、24艘轻巡洋舰、24艘驱逐舰和30艘鱼雷艇。

银狼帝国海军第三舰队拥有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。

If these three fleets also join the naval battle on Gaosnail Island, the outcome of the naval battle will be unpredictable.

"Your Majesty, since the Golden Lion Empire is preparing to independently deal with the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet of the Han and Tang Empires, will the expeditionary force of the Red Tiger Empire continue to postpone its departure?"

The difference between the Red Tiger Empire and the other five orc nations is that although the Red Tiger Empire also has a governor in the New World, the position of governor is always held concurrently by the emperor of the Red Tiger Empire.

Therefore, on the issue of dispatching the expeditionary force, it was up to Emperor Gruyan to make the final decision.

"How about the formation of the expeditionary force?"

“陛下，我们皇家海军从灵族世界的四大主力舰队和新世界的第一、第二、第三、第四这4支主力舰队当中，一共抽调出来了40艘全主炮战列舰、40艘全钢制战列舰、40艘大型装甲巡洋舰、70艘轻巡洋舰和70艘驱逐舰。

The Royal Army has deployed a total of 5 group armies and 14 mixed divisions, and the entire expeditionary force has basically been formed. "

The four main fleets of the Red Tiger Empire in the spirit world are the Tiger Fleet, the Tiger Guard Fleet, the Huying Fleet and the Hu Chi Fleet. The scale of these four fleets far exceeds the six major fleets in the new world of the Red Tiger Empire.

目前整个赤虎帝国皇家陆军一共有24个集团军，编制则与银狼帝国的集团军相同，都是下辖4个步兵师、1个辎重旅、2个重炮团、1个警卫团，总兵力约为8万人。

There are a total of 100 mixed divisions in the Royal Army of the Red Tiger Empire. The tiger tribe is the officer, and the goat tribe and humans attached to the tiger tribe are the soldiers. The strength of each mixed division is about 2.

Emperor Gruyan pondered for a while and said: "Contact the Silver Wolf Empire as soon as possible, I heard that the expeditionary force of the Silver Wolf Empire has also been formed.

Regardless of whether the expeditionary fleet of the Golden Lion Empire can completely wipe out the southwestern coastal defense fleet of the Han and Tang Empires, I am afraid that this human fleet will no longer be able to pose any threat to the Royal Navy of our Red Tiger Empire, or even the navy of the Silver Wolf Empire.

I feel that our expeditionary army of the Red Tiger Empire can now join the expeditionary army of the Silver Wolf Empire to pick up a bargain. "

In an office of the Governor's Mansion of Silver Light City of the Silver Wolf Empire, Governor Igna handed a copy to Yegor, the Deputy Minister of the Navy.

After Yegor, the Deputy Minister of the Navy, read the document, he handed it to Luka, the Deputy Minister of the War.

"What do you think of the Red Tiger Empire's proposal?" Governor Igna asked in a deep voice.

It turns out that this document is that the Red Tiger Empire hopes to send an expeditionary force together with the Silver Wolf Empire, and will rush to the western coast of the Han and Tang Empire in the near future.

Vice Minister of the Navy Yegor hesitated and said: "Governor, this time the Golden Lion Empire's expeditionary fleet has gathered 138 battleships alone.

It can be said that the time is ripe for our expeditionary army of the Silver Wolf Empire to go out, not to mention the expeditionary army of the Red Tiger Empire going out together. "

Luca, the Deputy Minister of the War Ministry, followed up and said: "Governor, the five group armies and 5 independent divisions of our Royal Army have already assembled, and they are ready to set off with the Royal Navy's expeditionary fleet at any time."

总督伊格纳叹了一口气说道：“皇家海军之前在与飞豹帝国的战争中损失太大，这次勉强只聚集了14艘全主炮战列舰、16艘全钢制战列舰、20艘大型装甲巡洋舰、30艘轻巡洋舰和30艘驱逐舰。

Even if the Third Fleet of Yumen Island is assembled, it is far inferior to the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet of the Han and Tang Empires in terms of strength.

Fortunately, our Royal Navy of the Silver Wolf Empire is not fighting alone this time. Not only the expedition fleet of the Navy of the Golden Lion Empire is at the vanguard, but also the expedition fleet of the Navy of the Red Tiger Empire can cooperate.

Since the Red Tiger Empire intends to take advantage of the Golden Lion Empire's naval expedition fleet, then our Silver Wolf Empire has no reason to refuse.

But who does the Admiralty think is the right choice for the commander of the expedition fleet? "

"Governor, the Admiralty of the Admiralty is planning to send Lieutenant General Renich, the commander of the Blood Wolf Fleet, as the temporary commander of the expedition fleet."

The Blood Wolf Fleet is one of the three main fleets of the Silver Wolf Empire in the Spirit Race world.

"Zenich is fine, he can be regarded as a fleet commander who has experienced many battles, and I am quite relieved to have him as the temporary commander of the expedition fleet.

After the expeditionary fleet merged with the Third Fleet, the command of the Third Fleet was temporarily handed over to Renich. "

The Golden Lion Empire did not conceal the matter of dispatching the Second Fleet, Third Fleet, and Seventh Fleet to the coastal areas of the Han and Tang Empires. On the contrary, it meant a little fanfare.

So Zhou Rui soon knew that the Golden Lion Empire would send a huge fleet including 72 all-main-gun battleships and 66 all-steel battleships to settle accounts with the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Rui learned from "Ghost Shadow" that the expeditionary forces of the Red Tiger Empire and the Silver Wolf Empire were about to set off, planning to follow the Golden Lion Empire to pick up bargains.

The only good news is that the expeditionary fleet of the Golden Lion Empire Navy is divided from the expeditionary forces of Red Tiger and Silver Wolf.

If the two are combined, plus the three fleets of Yumen Island, even with the current scale of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet, they may have to avoid their edge.

"Old Song, what do you think we should do next?"

此时周睿正在月牙岛海军基地，抽奖系统里面储备的22艘全主炮战列舰、16艘战列巡洋舰、24艘大型装甲巡洋舰、36艘轻巡洋舰和48艘驱逐舰，已经被周睿全部提取了出来。

Song Limin said in a deep voice: "Commander, now we can only gather all the strength of our Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet and defeat the expeditionary fleet of the Golden Lion Empire Navy first.

As for the expeditionary forces of the Red Tiger Empire and the Silver Wolf Empire, as well as the three fleets of the two countries on Yumen Island, we can only wait for the decisive battle with the expeditionary fleet of the Golden Lion Empire Navy, and then study the situation of our Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet.

If our Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet loses too much in the decisive battle with the Golden Lion Empire Navy Expeditionary Fleet, then we can only cooperate with the army and stick to the island fortresses and port cities. "

At this time, Zhou Rui looked at the more than 100 new warships docked in the port of Crescent Island through the window of the room, and said with a sigh: "In addition to adding these new warships to your Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet, it seems that there are also more than [-] new warships. It can't help much, and you can only rely on your Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet to carry it out."

Chapter 166 Team

On the morning of March 1539, 3, the sea area around Crescent Island was rumbling, and the sea was almost filled with warships from the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet.

These are the various formations of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet, which are conducting live-fire exercises.
