The end of the military era

"Brother Yuan, don't worry, all the officers and soldiers of our Liangyan navy are ready to die and become benevolent, and we will never lose the face of our Liangyan Empire!"

After Song Limin's order was issued, Liangyan Navy's First Fleet and Second Fleet soon arrived at the left and right wings of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet's First Battle Group and joined the naval battle.

After receiving the support of the two main fleets of the Liang Yan Empire, the overall strength of the first battle group of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet is still not as good as that of the Royal Navy of the Golden Lion Empire, but on the scene, the first battle group of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet is gone. Such a big disadvantage.

Both parties participating in the war knew that this naval battle would be very difficult, and they had made full mental preparations for this. However, the tragedy after the war still made the officers and soldiers of both sides unable to accept it.

Especially when the battle lines of the two sides drew closer, warships were sunk almost every moment, and the tragic degree could not even be described in words.

By the evening of the 23rd, the battle group of the Royal Navy of the Black Bear Empire had lost dozens of battleships alone.

在黑熊帝国皇家海军喷火号全主炮战列舰的舰桥内，喷火号的舰长维奇多，一脸凝重的对司令官杰尔特汇报道：“截止到现在，我们黑熊海军已经被击沉了4艘喷火级全主炮战列舰、12艘神像级全主炮战列舰、7艘无悔级全主炮战列舰、10艘约束级全主炮战列舰、3艘迅猛级战列巡洋舰和15艘海王级战列巡洋舰。

In addition, 16 all-steel battleships, 14 large armored cruisers, 23 light cruisers, and 25 destroyers were lost.

There are more than 40 warships seriously injured, of which more than 20 battleships are seriously injured. "

After a pause, Captain Vecchio continued: "The Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet, which is fighting our Black Bear Navy, suffered far less losses than us.

The total number of battleships sunk is only a dozen or so. If we continue to fight like this, we will be at a disadvantage. "

The third battle group of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet can be said to be the strongest of the three battle groups, while the Black Bear Navy is the weakest of the three orc nations' navies.

The result was the third battle group of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet. Since the start of the war, it has been fighting against the Black Bear Navy.

Gert asked with a gloomy face: "How is the situation of the Golden Lion Navy and Red Tiger Navy?"

Captain Vecchio sighed and said: "Commander, the battle between the navies of the two countries is very stalemate, and it is impossible to mobilize forces to support us in a short time."

Gritting his teeth, Gert said, "In my name, send a telegram to General Kuzier of the Golden Lion Navy and General Jestu of the Red Tiger Navy to inform them of the loss of our Black Bear Navy.

The Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet of the Zhou family placed the most powerful battleships on the side of our Black Bear Navy. If the Golden Lion Navy and the Red Tiger Navy do not want to support our Black Bear Navy, our Black Bear Navy will not be able to hold on . "

Kuzier, the commander of the First Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Golden Lion Empire, and Jestu, the commander of the Second Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Red Tiger Empire, received a telegram for help from the commander of the First Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Black Bear Empire, Gert.

Neither of these two commanders dared to ignore it. You must know that once the Black Bear Navy could no longer hold on, there would be no hope of victory in the naval battle between the joint escort fleet of the three navies and the Southwest Coast Defense Fleet of the Han and Tang Empires.

So soon the Golden Lion Navy and the Red Tiger Navy deployed some warships, including many capital ships, and temporarily joined the battle group of the Royal Navy of the Black Bear Empire.

This unprecedented naval battle also immediately entered the night battle mode.

Just after the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet fought with the joint escort fleet of the Golden Lion, Red Tiger, and Black Bear navies, all countries in the world learned of the outbreak of this naval battle through their own intelligence systems.

The people who are most excited about the outbreak of this naval battle are the ministers who control the military power of the Barbarian Empire.

In a large hall of the imperial palace in Baiyun City, the capital of the Barbarian Empire, Bei Tangxiong, Minister of the Ministry of War, excitedly said to Emperor Duguliang: "Your Majesty, the Zhou family's Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet dared to take the initiative to attack the three navies formed by the Golden Lion, Red Tiger, and Black Bear." If the United Escort Fleet takes action, it is simply suicidal.

According to the news we got from the Black Bear Empire, the joint escort fleet formed by the three navies of the Golden Lion, Red Tiger, and Black Bear has as many as 680 battleships alone, including 450 battleships with full main guns and 230 battleships. cruiser.

With such power, the Zhou family's Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet should have no chance of winning! "

As soon as Bei Tangxiong finished speaking, Yuzhang, the servant of the Ministry of War, said excitedly: "Master Shangshu is right.

The Zhou family's Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. Next, the Golden Lion, Red Tiger, and Black Bear are likely to send troops directly into the territory of our Barbarian Empire. "

Compared with the excitement and excitement of Bei Tangxiong, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Yuzhang, Minister of the Ministry of War, Emperor Duguliang's expression was much calmer, "You two lovers, what if the Zhou family's Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet wins?"

Bei Tangxiong, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, said decisively: "Your Majesty, that kind of situation will never happen.

And even if the Zhou family's Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet wins, we don't need to worry.

With the size of the joint escort fleet of the Golden Lion, Red Tiger, and Black Bear navies, even if the Zhou family's Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet can win, it will definitely be a disastrous victory for both sides.

And relying on the strength of the three navies of the Golden Lion, Red Tiger, and Black Bear, it is enough to form another joint fleet of similar size! "

Emperor Duguliang sighed in his heart at this time, in fact, Emperor Duguliang was looking forward to a big victory for the Zhou family's Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet, so that he could implement the plan to eliminate several powerful officials, take back the military power, and then follow the The Zhou family negotiated peace.

If the Zhou family's southwestern coastal defense fleet was defeated, then the armies of the Golden Lion, Red Tiger, and Black Bear would definitely enter the Barbarian Empire, and Emperor Dugu Liang would not dare to attack the powerful officials anymore.

You must know that the ministers of the Barbarian Empire who control the military power can almost be regarded as agents of the Black Bear Empire.

The Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet fought with the joint escort fleet of the Golden Lion, Red Tiger, and Black Bear navies, and the two allies of the Six Nations Military Alliance were very excited, namely the Silver Wolf Empire and the Bull Empire.

In the Governor's Mansion in Silver City, the second capital of the Silver Wolf Empire, Governor Igna excitedly said to Luka, the Deputy Minister of the Army: "Your Army Department quickly formulates a plan to counterattack the Bauhinia Province, Tulip Province and Phalaenopsis Province." Provincial battle plan!

Once the Zhou family's southwestern coastal defense fleet suffers heavy losses, the opportunity for our Silver Wolf Empire to recover three provinces will come! "

Luca nodded and said: "Don't worry, the governor, as long as the sea lanes between the Bauhinia Province, Tulip Province, Phalaenopsis Province and the Han and Tang Empire are cut off, our Royal Army will have the confidence to take these three provinces back! "

Governor Igna immediately turned his head and said to Yegor, the Deputy Minister of the Navy: "Your Navy Department, you should also be prepared.

After the Zhou family's southwestern coastal defense fleet suffered heavy losses, they immediately blocked the above-mentioned three provinces, and even the coast of the New Wilk province of the Barbarian Empire. Western Continent. "

Yegor said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Governor, if the joint escort fleet of the Golden Lion, Red Tiger, and Black Bear navies can really severely damage the Zhou family's Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet.

Our Royal Navy is confident in cutting off the Zhou family's sea passage between the Han and Tang Empire and the Western Continent. "

Today, the Royal Navy of the Silver Wolf Empire has a total of 212 capital ships, including 150 battleships with full main guns and 62 battlecruisers, and their strength is not considered weak.

150艘全主炮战列舰，分别是64艘橡树级、28艘火鸽级、31艘黑鳄级和27艘刀级。

The 62 battlecruisers are all attack-class battlecruisers.

The Oak-class battleship with full main guns and the attack-class battlecruiser are both equipped with 360mm main guns.

The Huoge-class full-main-gun battleship is equipped with a 340mm main gun, the Black Crocodile-class full-main-gun battleship is equipped with a 330-mm main gun, and the Knife-class full-main-gun battleship is equipped with a 320mm main gun.

Governor Igna immediately made a promise to Vice Minister of the Navy Yegor: "If our Silver Wolf Empire can regain the Bauhinia Province, Tulip Province, and Phalaenopsis Province this time.

The Governor must find a way to raise funds to build a capital ship with a 380mm main gun for the Royal Navy! "

Due to the serious financial deficit of the Silver Wolf Empire, even the second batch of 36 Oak-class battleships with full main guns and 36 attack-class battlecruisers had been shut down several times in the middle, so the Silver Wolf Empire does not have the ability to build new main forces for the time being. strength of the ship.

Yegor didn't care about Governor Igna's promise. Yegor was very aware of the current financial situation of the Silver Wolf Empire. At least in the next two years, the Silver Wolf Empire would not have a new capital ship construction plan.

Then Governor Igna changed his voice, "By the way, we should contact the Bull Empire.

Presumably, the Bull Empire is also very willing to take this opportunity to take back the New Wilk province from the Zhou family. "

Of course, the Bull Empire wanted to take back the New Wilk Province. The governor of the Bull Empire, Trophy, learned that the Zhou family's Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet was at war with the joint escort fleet of the Golden Lion, Red Tiger, and Black Bear navies. Find the Governor's Mansion with Toniqi, the Minister of War of the Bull Empire.

"Tonech, your Army Department will immediately start gathering troops, at least 800 million or more. This is definitely the best chance for our Bull Empire to take back New Wilk Province!" Governor Trofe said vowedly.

Toniech hesitated for a moment and said: "Governor, should we wait for the results of the naval battle to be announced before our Barbarian Empire mobilizes for war?

If our War Department wants to gather 800 million troops, it can only be done through war mobilization. "

Governor Trofe said with a smile: "With the size of the joint escort fleet of the three navies of the Golden Lion, Red Tiger, and Black Bear, even if it can't completely defeat the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet, it will definitely inflict heavy damage on it.
