The end of the military era

Zhao Shicong hesitated for a moment and said, "But father, the public opinion in the newspapers is now on the side of the Zhou family, and the people are also passionate about declaring war on the six major orc nations."

Zhao Rongguang waved his hand, "Don't forget, the imperial court now relies on the support of the Golden Lion Empire.

And this time the six major orc nations all declared war on the Zhou family, the Zhou family must be doomed.

I don't believe that the Zhou family can really fight against those six orc nations on their own! "

Not long after the Zhou family declared war on each other with the Silver Wolf, Flying Leopard, and Barbarian Bull, the court of the Han and Tang Empires stood up, hoping that the Zhou family and the six major beast nations could calm down and resolve their conflicts through negotiations.

Negotiate a ball!

The attitude of the Han and Tang Empire courts obviously wanted to choose neutrality.

Regardless of the conflicts between the court and the Zhou family, the six major orc nations have declared war on the Zhou family, and the court representing the Han and Tang empires chose to be neutral at this time, wanting to be a coward, which immediately aroused people in the court-controlled area. The people were very angry.

After the imperial courts of the Han and Tang Dynasties expressed their neutral attitude, Shuodong Town, Shuonan Town, the Alliance of Five Towns in the Northwest and the Alliance of Five Towns in the Southeast expressed their positions one after another, and they also chose to be neutral.

However, the Liangyan Empire, which had formed a military ally with the Zhou family, stood up at this time, re-emphasized its alliance with the Zhou family, and formally declared war on the six major orc nations.

The Zhou family's army in the barbarian empire did not stop their offensive against the barbarian army because of the coup d'état of the barbarian empire, or the declaration of war between the Zhou family and the six major orc nations.

On February 1545, 2, the vanguard of the Zhou family's army had already arrived at the outskirts of Baiyun City, the capital of the Barbarian Empire.

At this time, Bei Tangxiong, Minister of the Ministry of War, had left Baiyun City with Emperor Duguliang and other members of the royal family, and rushed to Huiping City in the north.

In order to restrain the advancing speed of Zhou's army, at the suggestion of the Black Bear Empire, the Barbarian Empire mobilized millions of armed forces to prepare for a battle to defend Baiyun City.

As a result, after the main force of Zhou's army arrived at Baiyun City, the millions of local barbarians, led by the deputy commander Dugu Ke, happily raised the white flag.

As for the commander-in-chief of the defense of Baiyun City appointed by Minister of War, Bei Tangxiong, he was shot in the head by Dugu Ke.

In the Governor's Mansion of Gaget City in the Black Bear Empire, Chief of the Army Grace said to Governor Deniso in a deep voice: "Governor, the situation in the Barbarian Empire has become more serious because the millions of barbarian troops in Baiyun City surrendered without a fight.

If our Black Bear Empire does not send troops to support the Barbarian Empire as soon as possible, the entire Barbarian Empire may be occupied by the Zhou family of the Han and Tang Empire. "

Governor Deniso shook his head and said: "After the battle of Dragon Whale Island, our Black Bear Navy, Golden Lion Navy, and Red Tiger Navy all suffered great losses. It is impossible for us to seize the coastal dominance of the Barbarian Empire for the time being. Even with the addition of Silver Wolf Nor can the Navy and the Flying Leopard Navy."

Due to the offshore defense policy implemented by the Barbarian Empire Navy, the combat effectiveness of the Barbarian Navy, which is dominated by destroyers and torpedo boats, has become very weak. Therefore, when Governor Denisau mentioned seizing the coastal dominance of the Barbarian Empire, he automatically ignored the Barbarian Empire. The navy of the Niu Empire.

Army Chief Gela sighed and said: "If this is the case, the entire barbarian empire will definitely be annexed by the Zhou family.

According to the information we have obtained, the humans in the barbarian empire do not reject the Zhou family of the Han and Tang empires, which will make the Zhou family even stronger.

After all, the entire barbarian empire has a land area of ​​about 1300 million square kilometers and a population of more than 2 million. "

Governor Deniso shook his head suddenly, "Actually, Zhou's annexation of the entire Barbarian Empire may be an opportunity for our Black Bear Empire."

"What the governor means is to turn the Barbarian Empire into the territory of our Black Bear Empire?"

"I have always had this idea, why not take this opportunity to declare war with the Zhou family of the Han and Tang Empires to achieve this goal."

Army Chief Gela hesitated for a moment and said, "Governor, but this time, our Black Bear Empire has five other allies, and those five Spirit Race countries are not willing to let our Black Bear Empire monopolize the entire Barbarian Empire."

"Hehe, it depends on human effort. As long as our army of the Black Bear Empire can show its due strength in this war, anything is possible."

Chapter 224 Proclamation without War

The army chief of the Black Bear Empire, Guerra, heard that the Governor Denisau intended to rely on the Royal Army of the Black Bear Empire to annex the entire Barbarian Empire through this war, and he didn't think it would be successful.

The Royal Army of the Black Bear Empire is indeed very powerful, and the Royal Army of the Black Bear Empire has always believed that they are the number one army in the world.

But in fact, the army of the Golden Lion Empire is no worse than the Royal Army of the Black Bear Empire, no matter in terms of scale or combat effectiveness. Therefore, for many years, the army of the Black Bear Empire and the army of the Golden Lion Empire have no difference in who is the number one in the world. The issue of the First Army has been debated endlessly.

And this time, not only the Black Bear Empire and the Golden Lion Empire declared war on the Zhou family of the Han and Tang Empires, but also the other four spirit nations of the Six Nations Military Alliance.

If the entire Barbarian Empire is occupied by the Zhou family of the Han and Tang Empires before the armies of the six Spirit Race countries send troops, then the entire Barbarian Empire will become the biggest part of the Zhou family cake, and the Black Bear Empire wants to monopolize it. This part of the cake is really not that difficult.

Governor Deniso's next words surprised Army Chief Guerra even more.

"Gala, the Golden Lion Empire has announced that it will expand its army by 400 million. In this way, our Black Bear Empire will only expand its army by 400 million, so we will not be able to gain too much advantage when facing the Golden Lion Army.

In order to eat up the entire barbarian empire in the next war, I discussed with my father and planned to expand the army by 400 million new troops on the basis of expanding the army by 600 million. Let the army size of our Black Bear Empire Reached 1800 million! "

"Ah? Another 600 million expansion?

Governor, if you expand 1000 million troops at once, what about military expenses? "

"Your Ministry of the Army does not need to worry about the issue of military expenditure. Next, the Ministry of Finance will allocate all the military expenditure to the Royal Navy to your Ministry of the Army. The Royal Bank will also prepare a special military expenditure for the Ministry of the Army."

The Royal Bank of the Black Bear Empire is completely controlled by the royal family of the Black Bear Empire, which is equivalent to the royal family's internal treasury.

The expression of Army Chief Guerra became even more surprised, "Governor, you gave our Army the Royal Navy's military expenditure, so what about the Royal Navy?

Those warships lost in the Longjing Island naval battle? "

Governor Deniso sighed and said: "The navy is indeed a monster that eats gold.

In order to start a shipbuilding competition with several other orc nations, our Black Bear Empire spent huge sums of money to build a powerful navy with 186 full main gun battleships and 136 battlecruisers.

As a result, in the naval battle of Dragon Whale Island, our Royal Navy of the Black Bear Empire lost 86 battleships with full main guns and 40 battlecruisers.

Also lost were 36 all-steel battleships, 30 large armored cruisers, 92 light cruisers and 120 destroyers.

If it wasn't for the Zhou family's Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet, which focused its pursuit on the navies of the other two Spirit Race countries in the end, perhaps our Royal Navy of the Black Bear Empire would suffer even greater losses.

With the current financial situation of our Black Bear Empire, it will be very difficult to make up for the loss of the Dragon Whale Island naval battle, so we might as well spend all the funds on the expansion of the army and magnify the advantages of our Black Bear Empire . "

You must know that the Black Bear Empire Royal Navy's large-scale construction of all-main-gun battleships and battlecruisers has already aroused strong dissatisfaction from the Black Bear Empire's War Department.

After all, the Black Bear Empire's finances can only allocate so much military expenditure to the army. If the navy spends more, the army's military expenditure will naturally decrease.

If there is an opportunity for the Ministry of the Army to get a larger share of military expenditures, Guerra will certainly not object.

The chief of the army, Guerra, immediately patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, the governor, as long as the funds are in place, with the perfect reserve system of our Black Bear Empire, it will not be a problem to expand the army by 1000 million!"

"For this expansion, we should recruit as much as possible our bears and pigs. It is best not to recruit humans. It can be seen from the previous wars between the Silver Wolf Empire and the Barbarian Empire and the Zhou Family of the Han and Tang Empires. The army mainly consists of human soldiers. When facing the Zhou family army, his performance was very unreliable."

Army Chief Gela then hesitated and asked: "Governor, but without a strong navy, our army has no way to land in the Barbarian Empire on the Eastern Continent.

Although the Zhou family's Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet also lost a lot in the Longjing Island naval battle, its strength is still there. After all, the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet won the Longjing Island naval battle. "

"The Zhou family's Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet cannot keep winning, even with the current naval strength of the six Spirit Race nations, it is enough to suppress the Zhou Family's Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet.

Of course, the next main task of our Royal Navy of the Black Bear Empire will be to preserve its strength. "

Governor Deniso paused for a moment and continued: "At the invitation of the Golden Lion Empire, representatives of our six Spirit Race nations will gather in Morning Star City of the Golden Lion Empire to discuss the formation of the six-nation coalition.

At this meeting, our Black Bear Empire will make a request to take over the entire Barbarian Empire after the war. "
