The end of the military era

Jestu, the commander of the Second Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Red Tiger Empire, said in a gloomy tone: "Maybe those lion tribesmen did it on purpose, just like when we were besieged by the southwestern coastal defense fleet of the Han and Tang Empire, those lion tribe people saw death. Can't help.

It seems that not only our Red Tiger Empire hopes to use the hands of the southwestern coastal defense fleet of the Han and Tang Empire to weaken the strength of the Golden Lion Empire's navy, the Golden Lion Empire should also have the same idea. "

"Commander, what shall we do next?"

"This issue is no longer up to us to decide. Let's join the Royal Army's transport fleet first and wait for domestic news!"

In a palace in Shuguang City, the capital of the Red Tiger Empire, Emperor Gruyan took the telegram sent by Jestu, shook his head helplessly and said to the Minister of the Navy, Svia: "I didn't expect the three spirit nations The United Fleet was in a mess.

What do you think should be done next? "

Minister of the Navy Svia hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, although the expeditionary fleet of the Royal Navy of the Red Tiger Empire is still strong, it can be seen from this naval battle that there is no difference between the expeditionary forces of our three Spirit Race countries. What trust exists.

The so-called Three Kingdoms Joint Expeditionary Force is just a false name.

Even if the naval fleets of our three Spirit Race countries regroup, I am afraid that it will still be difficult to win against the southwestern coastal defense fleet of the Han and Tang Empires.

Moreover, with the strength displayed by the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet of the Han and Tang Empires, it is no longer easy to eliminate. "

Emperor Gruyan frowned slightly, "Svia, do you mean to give up our Red Tiger Empire's interests on the western coast of the Han and Tang Empire?"

Minister of the Navy Svia nodded, "Your Majesty, since the effort far outweighs the gain, why not give it up?"

"How to give up?"

"Your Majesty, the biggest conflict of interest between our Chihu Empire and the Zhou family of the Han and Tang Empire may be Fengsha Island.

I think Fengsha Island can be abandoned to avoid direct conflict with the Zhou family of the Han and Tang Empires. After all, the biggest threat to our Chihu Empire is not the human countries in the New World, but several other Spirit Race countries. "

The mighty expedition of the three orc nations of the Golden Lion, the Red Tiger, and the Silver Wolf came to an anticlimactic end just after a naval battle on the Black Coral Island.

In this naval battle, the losses of the navies of the three orc nations were not small. The capital ships of the three navies lost a total of 75 ships, but a large part of them were accidentally injured by the navies of the three orc nations.

After the naval fleets of the three orc nations merged with the transport fleet carrying the army, the Red Tiger Empire's expeditionary force left first, followed by the Silver Wolf Empire's expeditionary force, which also began to return after receiving domestic instructions.

Kuzier, commander of the First Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Golden Lion Empire, held the retreat order sent by the governor of the Golden Lion Empire, Kosno, and said to the commander of the Fifth Fleet Maft with some emotion: "This time, the Han and Tang Empire was not wiped out. It may be even more difficult for the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet to destroy this human fleet in the future."

Maft sighed and said: "The alliance of our three Eldar nations is too fragile, it's not even as good as sending troops from one Eldar nation."

"With the strength of the Zhou family behind the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet of the Han and Tang Empire, unless greater interests are involved, there should be no Spirit Race country willing to provoke that Zhou family again."

Zhou Rui also felt a little inconceivable that he won the naval battle of Black Coral Island so easily. After all, the strength of the combined fleet of the Golden Lion, Red Tiger, and Silver Wolf's navies was much greater than that of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet.

Zhou Rui has even made preparations for how to use the army to resist the invading forces of the three countries after the defeat of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet.

Just after the Black Coral Island naval battle ended, Zhou Rui received another reminder from the lottery system, congratulating him on completing the hidden task of "winning the largest naval battle" again, and rewarding Zhou Rui with a four-star lottery card and 40 points.

This four-star lottery card and a three-star lottery card given out by the lottery system in June gave out a total of more than a dozen rewards, most of which were army weapons and equipment, and all of them had been issued before.

Only two rewards are warships, namely 6 American Tennessee-class battleships and 6 Japanese Ise-class battleships.

西南海防舰队在黑珊瑚岛海战中，总计损失了5艘全主炮战列舰、2艘战列巡洋舰、6艘全钢制战列舰、2艘大型装甲巡洋舰、2艘轻巡洋舰、4艘驱逐舰和1艘潜艇。

The lost submarine was the Ghost II, which was sunk by the depth charges equipped by the Silver Wolf Empire Navy.

Although the Ghost No. [-] submarine survived in the end, it did not achieve such a brilliant record like the second sea battle on Gaosnail Island.

What made Zhou Rui even more gratified was that the expeditionary forces of the Golden Lion, Red Tiger, and Silver Wolf disintegrated directly after the naval battle on Black Coral Island. The Zhou family conducts peace negotiations.

Zhou Rui and the Silver Wolf Empire were the first to sign a peace treaty. The Silver Wolf Empire officially acknowledged that Pusha Island was returned to the Han and Tang Empires. All wolf officers and soldiers.

The subsequent negotiations with the Golden Lion Empire and the Scarlet Tiger Empire did not go so smoothly. Both of these two orc nations wanted to get back the benefits that were not obtained in the war through the negotiation table.

Of course Zhou Rui won't get used to these two orc nations, let's continue fighting if we don't accept it!

In the end, Zhou Rui forced the Golden Lion Empire to cede Gaosnail Island, and paid a symbolic compensation of 1000 million silver coins, while Zhou Rui unconditionally released tens of thousands of captured Golden Lion Empire naval officers and soldiers.

The Red Tiger Empire finally agreed to hand over Fengsha Island completely to the Zhou family in exchange for the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet allowing the Red Tiger Empire troops on Fengsha Island to evacuate safely.

Although the Royal Navy of the Red Tiger Empire still has two main fleets on Yumen Island, even the combined fleet of the three navies suffered a defeat. How dare the Fifth Fleet and Sixth Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Red Tiger Empire on Yumen Island dare to leave? Yumen Island.

Therefore, the Red Tiger Empire army on Fengsha Island has become a lone army. Even if Zhou Rui does not send the army to land, the Red Tiger Empire army on Fengsha Island can be trapped to death only by the siege of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet.

After signing peace treaties with the three orc nations of Golden Lion, Red Tiger, and Silver Wolf, the mobilization for war in Fengwu Town, Zhenwei Town, and Jinnan Town was finally lifted.

However, due to the addition of Jindong Town and Jinxi Town just now, Zhou Rui’s army under Zhou Rui then carried out another major reorganization. In the territory of Jindong Town and Jinxi Town, Jindong Army and The Jinxi Army can also be called the Jindong Front Army and the Jinxi Front Army.

In addition, the five front armies of the five feudal towns under Zhou Rui's command have made some adjustments in their establishment.

每个方面军将整编为15个步兵师，每个师下辖3个步兵旅、1个辎重旅、1个重炮旅和1个警卫团，总兵力大约为4万人。

In addition, several garrison regiments were set up in each feudal town. Each garrison regiment had a strength of about 2000 people, which were used to maintain law and order in various places and eliminate the beasts that appeared in various places.

A total of 300 garrison regiments have been set up in the territory of the five feudal towns. In addition to the five front armies of Fengwu, Zhenwei, Jindong, Jinnan, and Jinxi, the total army strength of Zhou's army under Zhou Rui's command will remain above 360 million. .

In addition, in the five feudal towns, there are tens of millions of army reservists who will participate in military training all year round.

Once the war requires, Zhou's army can quickly expand the army to a scale of tens of millions.

Of course, to feed such a large army, coupled with the support of the astonishingly large Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet, the monthly military expenditure is astronomical.

Fortunately, Zhou Rui has always been labeled as rich and powerful on his forehead. Zhou Rui can afford to support even such a large army.

In a palace in Tiansheng City, the capital of the Han and Tang Empires, Zhao Rongguang, the governor of the Forbidden Army, said respectfully to Emperor Ouyang Hui: "Your Majesty, the Zhou family has now signed armistice treaties with the three orc nations.

And took back Fengsha Island from the hands of the Red Tiger Empire, took back Gaosnail Island from the hands of the Golden Lion Empire, and the Silver Wolf Empire also officially admitted to return Pusha Island to our Han and Tang Empire. "

Zhao Rongguang has now dared to enter the palace openly, and the last armed force in the hands of the royal family, more than 1000 people in the palace guards, has also been recruited by Zhao Rongguang through some means.

It can be said that the entire Tiansheng City and even the four Acropolis have been controlled by Zhao Rongguang. Even if Zhao Rongguang wants to usurp the throne, no one in Tiansheng City can stop him.

However, once Zhao Rongguang really usurped the throne, the Jiedu envoys from all over the Han and Tang Empire would never agree.

Why can you, Zhao Rongguang, be the emperor?

Which of these Jiedu envoys of the Han and Tang Empires doesn't want to be emperor now!

Even Zhou Rui has such thoughts in his heart.

Emperor Ouyang Hui said in a cold voice: "I already know about this matter.

If Governor Zhao has nothing else to do, he can retire. I am a little tired today. "

Emperor Ouyang Hui wanted to swallow Zhao Rongguang alive. You must know that Emperor Ouyang Hui had prepared for many years to take back the military power of the imperial army.

In the end, the military power of the Forbidden Army was snatched away by Zhao Rongguang.

Now even the city defense force responsible for the security of Tiansheng City and the internal guard force responsible for the safety of the palace are all under the control of Zhao Rongguang. The emperor himself has become a real figure now.
