The end of the military era

This time the joint fleet of nine countries' navies attacked Zeyun Port without carelessness. They dispatched more than 1500 warships. The Golden Lion Empire Naval Minister Raff personally led the team, and even brought 8 Stinger-class aircraft carriers.

In the end, after paying for 2 battleships with full main guns, 3 battlecruisers and more than 300 carrier-based aircraft, the joint fleet of the nine navies not only destroyed 6 forts in Zeyun Port, but also destroyed the entire port and Zeyun City. It was blasted into ruins.

Fortunately, nearly 10 ordinary people in Zeyun City have been transferred away ahead of time, and no civilian casualties have been caused.

However, the Zeyun Port garrison regiment guarding the port killed more than 1500 people, and the Royal Air Force of the Han and Tang Empire supporting Zeyun Port destroyed 66 fighter jets.

During the defense of Zeyun Port, the Royal Air Force of the Han and Tang Empires did not carry out air strikes against the joint fleet of the nine navies.

Soon the newspapers of the six orc countries and the three elf countries called the attack on Zeyun Port by the joint fleet of the nine navies as the Zeyun Port Victory.

Some newspapers in the nine countries even declared that the Zeyun Port victory would be a turning point in this war.

In a large hall of the imperial palace in Lingyang City, the capital of the Liangyan Empire, Emperor Fan Yi handed a few pieces of paper to Prime Minister Lu Qing, "The joint fleet of the navies of the nine countries has just destroyed a port of the Han and Tang Empires on the western mainland. City.

What strategy do you think the navy of the Han and Tang Empire will adopt next? "

Prime Minister Lu Qing took a few pieces of paper, flipped through them and said, "Your Majesty, if I were Song Limin, Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires, I would continue to use the port cities on the western continent to consume the joint naval forces of the nine countries." The strength of the fleet.

Although the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires was truly the number one navy in the world, the joint fleet of the nine-nation navy gathered most of the forces of the navies of the six orc nations and the navies of the three elf nations.

In terms of overall strength, especially in terms of aircraft carriers, the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires was at a disadvantage in the face of the combined fleet of nine navies. "

Emperor Fan Yi hesitated for a moment and asked, "Then what does Prime Minister Lu think about the fact that the Han and Tang Empires asked our Liangyan Empire to join the war?"

The military alliance formed by the Zhou family and the Liangyan Empire has not been canceled until now.

After Zhou Rui ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, the Han Tang Empire and the Liang Yan Empire were actually allies.

According to the original covenant, after the Zhou family and the Nine Nations Military Alliance declared war on each other, the Liang Yan Empire should immediately declare war on the Nine Nations Military Alliance.

But until now, the Liangyan Empire is still neutral.

Prime Minister Lu Qing said: "Your Majesty, anyway, our alliance between the Liangyan Empire and the Han and Tang Empires has already existed in name only.

There is no need for our Liangyan Empire to be involved in the vortex of this war and be used as a spear by the Han and Tang Empire just because of a covenant. "

After the Zhou family annexed the Luwei Empire and the Dongyue Empire, the Liangyan Empire also sent troops to capture the Wanyue Empire, which made the territories of the two sides border each other.

Today, the land area of ​​the Liangyan Empire has expanded to 620 million square kilometers, with a population of about 27 billion. Its army has more than 700 million regular troops and as many as 1500 million reserve personnel.

梁燕帝国的海军，仅仅主力舰就拥有98艘全主炮战列舰和58艘战列巡洋舰，另外很快还会有20艘拥有400毫米主炮的全主炮主力舰和20艘拥有400毫米主炮的战列巡洋舰，加入梁燕海军的序列。

Thanks to the strong industrial foundation of the Liangyan Empire, the Liangyan Empire now has a powerful air force with more than 3000 fighters, and the several fighters currently in service of the Liangyan Empire Air Force have good overall performance.

Emperor Fan Yi sighed and said: "I also know that the military alliance between our Liangyan Empire and the Han and Tang Empires is already in name only.

But I am worried that in the future, the Han and Tang Empire will settle accounts after the autumn. The emperor of the Han and Tang Empire who has just ascended the throne is a master who must take revenge. "

In fact, the relationship between the Han and Tang Empires and the Liangyan Empire is not only in name only, but both sides have deployed heavy troops in the border areas. Even if the Han and Tang Empires are now at war with the Nine Kingdoms Military Alliance, Zhou Rui did not mobilize the army and troops near the border of the Liangyan Empire. The air force has even strengthened some troops.

Prime Minister Lu Qing said: "Your Majesty, as long as the four-nation alliance between the Liangyan Empire, the Qi'an Empire, the Western Qin Empire, and the Eastern Qin Empire can be established, even if the Han and Tang Empires ask for punishment after the war, our Liangyan Empire will not need to be afraid."

At present, in the Eastern Continent, apart from the Han and Tang Empires and the Liangyan Empire, there are only three countries left, namely the Qi'an Empire, the West Qin Empire, and the East Qin Empire.

The Qi'an Empire has a land area of ​​about 800 million square kilometers and a population of 3 million. The Western Qin Empire and the Eastern Qin Empire have a similar land area, both of which have about 600 million square kilometers. The Western Qin Empire has a population of about 28 billion. The population of the empire is approximately 25 billion, and all three countries are located north of the Yunzhou Military Region of the Han and Tang Empires.

The Yunzhou Military Region of the Han and Tang Empires included 10 feudal towns divided by the original Tuman Empire.

Although the Qi'an Empire, West Qin Empire, and East Qin Empire did not have a strong air force and navy, and their industrial strength was relatively weak, these three countries were in a situation of separatism, and all forces were doing their best to expand their armies. The total size of the armies of these three countries is amazing.

According to the data on the surface, the combined forces of the Qi'an Empire, the Western Qin Empire, and the Eastern Qin Empire could even gather more than 5000 million army troops.

Emperor Fan Yi sighed and said, "How easy is it to form a four-nation alliance?

Adding up the Qi'an Empire, the West Qin Empire, and the East Qin Empire, there are dozens of local families that control military power. It is really too difficult to integrate these local families together. "

"Your Majesty, there is one matter that I haven't had time to report to Your Majesty.

The Longyang Qi family of the Qi'an Empire has accepted the conditions offered by our Liangyan Empire.

With the Longyang Qi family as an example, the remaining forces in the Qi'an Empire should soon sign an alliance with our Liangyan Empire.

In addition, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has also gained a lot in the Western Qin Empire and Eastern Qin Empire in recent times, and the formation of the Four Nations Alliance is not out of reach. "

When Emperor Fan Yi heard that the Longyang Qi family of the Qi'an Empire had agreed to join the Four Kingdoms Alliance, his eyes lit up.

The Longyang Qi family of the Qi'an Empire ranks first among the dozen or so forces in the Qi'an Empire, with a territory of about 100 million square kilometers, a population of 5000 million, and an army of more than 200 million.

Before the Qi family in Longyang, there were already 5 forces in the Qi'an Empire. Under the lobbying of the Liangyan Empire, they agreed to join the Four Nations Alliance.

"Lu Xiang, tell the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that if necessary, we can increase the bargaining chip." Emperor Fan Yi said in a deep voice.

The establishment of the Four Kingdoms Alliance was proposed by the Liangyan Empire. When drawing the forces of the Qi'an Empire, the Western Qin Empire, and the Eastern Qin Empire, the Liangyan Empire would inevitably offer some benefits.

Of course, these benefits of the Liangyan Empire are not for nothing. After the establishment of the Four Nations Alliance, the Liangyan Empire will be in a dominant position.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Lu Xiang, how is the construction of the Hive-class aircraft carrier going?"

The aircraft carriers of the Liangyan Empire were also built relatively early. Currently, a total of 10 Honeycomb-class aircraft carriers are under construction at the same time.

Honeycomb-class aircraft carrier with a full load displacement of 25000 tons and a maximum speed of 29 knots.

配备有8门100毫米口径高平两用炮、20门30毫米高射炮，30挺13毫米高射机枪。

It can carry 24 carrier-based fighters, 24 carrier-based torpedo aircraft and 24 carrier-based bombers, a total of 72 carrier-based aircraft.

"Your Majesty, 10 Hive-class aircraft carriers can be delivered to the Navy by the end of this year."

"Aircraft carriers are the hope of our Liang Yan Navy to catch up with the Han and Tang Navy. Next, our Liang Yan Empire must build more aircraft carriers.

Is the new aircraft carrier design out? "

"Your Majesty, the Ship Design Bureau has designed an aircraft carrier with a full load displacement of 42000 tons, which can carry about 120 carrier-based aircraft.

It's just that the cost is a bit higher. Counting the carrier-based aircraft, the construction cost of each one is about 5000 million silver coins. "

"Zhen will allocate 15 billion silver coins from the royal treasury to build 30 new aircraft carriers!"

In a mansion in Longyang City of the Qi'an Empire, Qi Shishan, the patriarch of the Qi family in Longyang, said to several senior members of the Qi family: "I have agreed to the conditions proposed by the Liangyan Empire and agreed to join the Four Kingdoms Alliance."

Qi Shishan's third younger brother Qi Shicong frowned and said: "Brother, with the current strength of our Qi family, why should we find a mother-in-law for ourselves?

The so-called Four Nations Alliance is actually completely controlled by the Liangyan Empire. "

Qi Shishan sighed and said: "I agreed to join the Four Nations Alliance, not for the little benefits promised by the Liangyan Empire, but to deal with the threat of the Han and Tang Empires.
