The end of the military era

Mainly in the recent period, the bad news about the Bull Empire spread to Morning Star City of the Golden Lion Empire one after another, making Vikasa unable to calm down.

On January 1, after the No.12 Ninth Army and No.20 Sixth Army of the Bull Empire were wiped out, on January 30, the No.1 First Army and No.18 Army of the Bull Empire, which were surrounded, also Under the siege of the superior forces of the Silver Wolf Column of the rebel army, the entire army was wiped out. So far, only the 30 armies of the Bull Empire remained in the encirclement.

At this time, the 8 armies of the Bull Empire that came to the rescue from the Tulip Province and the Phalaenopsis Province of the Silver Wolf Empire had already joined together, and they were less than 7 kilometers away from the 60 surrounded armies.

It's a pity that the reinforcements of these 8 army groups were blocked by the blocking troops of the Silver Wolf Column of the rebel army.

By January 1th, only the Second Army, No.30 Army, and No.16 Army remained in the bull army in the encirclement, and the other four armies had also been eaten by the Silver Wolf Column of the rebel army.

The reinforcements of the eight armies are still about 8 kilometers away from the surrounded Second Army, No.16 Army and No.17 Army.

What frightened the Army Department of the Bull Empire even more was that there were also a large number of human rebel troops around the 8 army groups serving as reinforcements.

In the end, in order to prevent these 8 armies from being surrounded by the human rebels, the Army Department of the Bull Empire had no choice but to issue a retreat order to these 8 armies.

And to the Second Army, No.16 Army and No.17 Army in the encirclement, an order was issued to break through on their own.

The barbarian army in the encirclement had organized several large-scale breakouts before, but none of them succeeded. If they could break through on their own, how could they be trapped here and let the rebel silver wolf column eat them up bite by bite.

Originally, according to the plan of the commander-in-chief of the Silver Wolf Column, Xiang Tao, all the group armies of the 19 Bull Empires that entered the territory of the Silver Wolf Empire should be kept in order to reduce the pressure on the Silver Wolf Column in the New Wilk Province of the Bull Empire.

However, the previous month's encirclement and annihilation battle also caused the Silver Wolf Column to lose a lot of troops. For the time being, the Silver Wolf Column could not mobilize too much force to encircle the other 8 armies of the Bull Empire, so Xiang Tao could only let it go. These 8 armies retreated to the New Wilk Province of the Bull Empire.

What is beneficial to the Silver Wolf Column is that the 8 armies of the Barbarian Empire have suffered a serious reduction in personnel. The 64 armies, which could have reached 8 people at full strength, retreated into New Wilk Province on February 2. The total number of combatable soldiers of the group army is less than 6.

And on the day of February 2, the last three armies of the Barbarian Army surrounded by the Silver Wolf Column of the rebel army were completely wiped out.

Two days later, the eleven main formations of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet of the Han and Tang Empire, escorting nearly a thousand large ocean-going transport ships, arrived at the sea off the eastern coast of the Manniu Empire.

Although the navy of the Golden Lion Empire and the navy of the Scarlet Tiger Empire have dispatched a large number of warships to help the Barbarian Bull Empire blockade this sea area, facing the nearly 300 capital ships of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet, the navies of these two orc nations, They actually chose to avoid it.

The navy of the Silver Wolf Empire also sent some warships to the sea area on the eastern coast of the Bull Empire for its own benefit.

However, seeing the navy of the Golden Lion and Red Tiger retreating without a fight, the navy of the Silver Wolf Empire also withered and chose to withdraw directly.

Only the Navy of the Bull Empire was not afraid of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet, which had nearly 300 capital ships. Unfortunately, the Navy of the Bull Empire, with destroyers and torpedo boats as its main combat ships, did not cause much trouble to the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet.

After a crushing naval battle, the eleven main formations of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet easily defeated the navy of the Bull Empire and escorted nearly a thousand large ocean-going transport ships to a port in the east of the Bull Empire. At this time, the port has been captured by the Silver Wolf Column.

After the Silver Wolf Column received millions of tons of various combat materials and reinforcements from 20 infantry divisions, the Silver Wolf Column's offensive in the New Wilk Province of the Buffalo Empire was higher than later, and there was even a plan to capture the entire The posture of New Wilk Province.

In the Governor's Mansion in Detrika City, the second capital of the Bull Empire, Governor Trofe slapped the table and shouted angrily: "What Six Nations Joint Expeditionary Force! It's all bullshit!

It seems that if we want to eliminate the human rebels in New Wilk Province, we can only rely on the strength of our Bull Empire! "

The Army Minister of the Buffalo Empire, Toniqi, hesitated for a moment and said: "Governor, our Army Department is going to transfer 10 army groups and 15 independent divisions from the spirit world to enter New Wilk Province. The human resistance army in the province of Erke drove back to the Silver Wolf Empire.

However, since the supply channel between the Han and Tang Empire and the human rebels has been opened again, it may take more time to drive the human rebels back to the Silver Wolf Empire. "

Governor Trophy gritted his teeth and said: "I never thought that the Golden Lion Empire and the Scarlet Tiger Empire would be unreliable at critical times. If the navies of these two countries hadn't retreated without a fight, our Royal Navy of the Bull Empire would not have lost so much. awful."

在蛮牛帝国东部沿海海域的那场海战中，蛮牛帝国的海军总计被击沉了7艘全主炮战列舰、14艘全钢制战列舰、17艘大型装甲巡洋舰、26艘轻巡洋舰、69艘驱逐舰和113艘鱼雷艇。

However, the loss of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet was minimal. None of the main battleships and battlecruisers were sunk, only 2 large armored cruisers, 6 light cruisers and 9 destroyers were sunk.

At this time, Naval Minister Larion said: "Governor, the Six Nations Joint Expeditionary Force has been unable to be formed for a long time, and it is likely that the other five Spirit Race countries deliberately let the human rebel army consume the strength of our Bull Empire.

On behalf of our Buffalo Empire, Vikasa has repeatedly backed down at the Six Nations Conference, but the other five Spirit Race countries have never made any concessions, making the formation of the Six Nations Joint Expeditionary Force still far away. "

Governor Trofe snorted coldly and said, "Let Vikasa come back!

There is no need to waste any more time, the other five Spirit Race countries obviously want to watch the fire from the other side. "

In the Governor's Mansion of Morningstar City, the second capital of the Golden Lion Empire, the First Deputy Minister of the Navy, Raff, reported to Governor Kosnohui: "Vicasa, the First Deputy Army Minister of the Bull Empire, has left Morningstar City at noon today. "

Governor Cosno smiled nonchalantly and said, "I'm surprised that Vikasa has survived until now and left Morningstar City.

This time, not only our Golden Lion Empire hopes to use the hands of the human rebels to weaken the strength of the Bull Empire, but the Red Tiger Empire, Black Bear Empire, Flying Leopard Empire and Silver Wolf Empire should all have this idea. "

Knowing that this time the Zhou family of the Han and Tang Empires, in order to support the Silver Wolf Column of the rebel army, they even dispatched 20 infantry divisions from the various feudal towns under their jurisdiction and sent them directly to the Manniu Empire.

The Golden Lion Empire and several other orc nations couldn't help but have some other ideas.

The current battle in New Wilk Province of the Barbarian Empire is almost equivalent to the Zhou family of the Han and Tang Empire going into battle naked, so why not let the Zhou family of the Han and Tang Empire fight with the Barbarian Empire and lose both sides?

Raff hesitated and said, "Governor, what if the human rebels supported by the Zhou family of the Han and Tang Empire gain a firm foothold in the New Wilk Province of the Bull Empire?"

Governor Kosno waved his hand and said, "That's impossible.

Although the navy of the Barbaric Bull Empire is weak, the army of the Barbaric Bull Empire is still quite powerful. It must be able to defeat the human resistance army supported by the Zhou family of the Han and Tang Empires in the end.

Even if the situation you mentioned occurs, we can restart the plan of the Six Nations Joint Expeditionary Force! "

With the withdrawal of the Bull Empire, and the fact that the other five orc nations had their own ghosts, the plan of the Six Nations Joint Expeditionary Force was aborted.

Yegor, the first vice minister of the Navy of the Silver Wolf Empire who participated in the six-nation meeting, returned to the second capital of the Silver Wolf Empire, Silver Light City, and immediately reported the experience of the trip to Governor Igna.

"I originally hoped to limit the number of battleships in the Royal Navy of the Silver Wolf Empire to 350, but due to the clumsiness of the Flying Leopard Empire's First Vice Minister of the Navy, Annott.

In the end, our Royal Navy of the Silver Wolf Empire can only be the same as that of the Flying Leopard Empire, and the number of capital ships is limited to 300. "

Governor Kosno suddenly sighed and said: "The number of 300 capital ships is enough for the time being.

Recently, the financial pressure of the empire is very high, and the funds for the construction of the next-level all-main-gun battleship and the next-level battlecruiser have not been settled yet! "

At present, there are still 86 battleships of the three full main gun battleships built by the Royal Navy of the Silver Wolf Empire before.

The Silver Wolf Empire's newest oak tree-class full main gun battleship and attack-class battlecruiser built 36 ships each in the first batch, and then because of the shipbuilding competition, the Silver Wolf Empire built an additional 36 ships each.

Among them, the Oak-class battleship with full main guns has a full-load displacement of 30000 tons and is equipped with 5 double-mounted 45mm main guns with 350 times the caliber.

The attack-class battlecruiser has a full-load displacement of 30500 tons and is equipped with four twin-mounted 4-caliber 45mm main guns.

However, in the war with the Flying Leopard Empire, the Royal Navy of the Silver Wolf Empire had 8 Oak-class all-main-gun battleships and 10 attack-class battlecruisers sunk.

So now the Royal Navy of the Silver Wolf Empire has a total of 150 battleships with full main guns and 62 battlecruisers, that is, 212 capital ships.

There is still some room for the limit of 300 capital ships.

It is a pity that after two wars with the Flying Leopard Empire and several years of fierce battles with the Silver Wolf Column, the Silver Wolf Empire suffered a serious financial deficit. I can't afford much money.

Yegor hesitated and said: "Governor, the Golden Lion Empire, Red Tiger Empire, and Black Bear Empire have all started to have battleships and battlecruisers with 380mm main guns.

Even if the Six Nations Naval Restriction Treaty is signed, if our Royal Navy of the Silver Wolf Empire does not continue to build capital ships with larger gun calibers, our Royal Navy of the Silver Wolf Empire will be left far behind by the navies of several other Eldar nations . "

Governor Kosno pondered for a while and said: "Yegor, you should also know.

Although the human rebels in the empire shifted their attack targets to the Barbarian Bull Empire, most of the Bauhinia Province, Tulip Province, and Phalaenopsis Province were still occupied by the human rebels.
