The end of the military era

There are many large gold mines in the Totem Alliance. In this way, the Totem Alliance can use gold to exchange a large amount of strategic materials from the Han and Tang Empires. "

"It seems that the trade between our Forest Alliance and the Han and Tang Empires will start as soon as possible. There are also many large gold mines in our Forest Alliance."

Great Elder Jack Dempsey immediately said: "It would be best if the Han and Tang Empire could also be brought into the Beast Defense Alliance. This would cut off the Totem Alliance from obtaining a large amount of strategic materials from the Han and Tang Empire."

King Richard Docter shook his head, "This matter must be done carefully.

If the Han and Tang Empires were also brought into the Beast Defense Alliance, the Totem Alliance might be angered, and another war that would spread across the entire continent would break out. "

Chapter 3 and Three

Zhou Rui has no interest in the land of the Gods Continent. The current land area of ​​the Han and Tang Empire is as high as 9906 million square kilometers, which is enough to accommodate the 35 billion people of the Han and Tang Empire.

Moreover, according to the area of ​​arable land that the Han and Tang Empire could reclaim, even if the population of the Han and Tang Empire doubled, or even tripled, it would still be enough to feed the people of the Han and Tang Empire.

If the lottery system hadn't released the mandatory task of "Helping Princess Deborah ascend the throne", Zhou Rui would not have even intervened in the competition for the throne within the Star-Moon Alliance.

What's more, Zhou Rui has always been in awe of the magical power of the Continent of the Gods, and Zhou Rui is not willing to fight to the death with the countries of the Continent of the Gods.

So when the other four human nations headed by the Bingxi Alliance invited the Han and Tang Empires to join the Anti-Beast Alliance, Zhou Rui directly refused.

Isn't it good to use silver, steel, and grain to exchange tens of thousands of tons of gold from the Totem Alliance?

However, Zhou Rui explained to the Bingxi Alliance and other four human nations that the Han and Tang Empires had no intention of expanding their power in the Continent of the Gods, nor did they want to be enemies of any country, including the Totem Alliance.

The Han and Tang Empire just hoped to conduct fair trade transactions with various countries in the continent of the gods.

Of course, since Princess Dai Bona has been pushed to the throne of the Star-Moon Alliance, even if Zhou Rui has no plans to merge the Star-Moon Alliance into the Han and Tang Empire, Zhou Rui will not let the Star-Moon Alliance ignore it.

After all, Dai Bona is now the queen of the Star-Moon Alliance, Zhou Rui and Dai Bona's child will inherit the throne of the Star-Moon Alliance in the future.

Thus, with the support of the Han and Tang Empires, the rebuilt Xingyue Alliance Guards Corps expanded to one million troops at once, and its weapons and equipment were so sophisticated that even the dwarf army of the Rock Alliance would be envious.

The Rock Alliance of the Dwarves is famous for producing excellent weapons and equipment. Many famous craftsmen in the Gods Continent are dwarves.

All the countries in the Continent of the Gods have always adopted the enfeoffment system. Although relying on the power of the Han and Tang Empires, it is entirely possible to turn all the lands of the Star-Moon Alliance into lands directly under the king's jurisdiction, but Zhou Rui did not do that.

It is not easy to break the inherent traditions of the Continent of the Gods. Perhaps at that time, it will no longer be a matter within the Star-Moon Alliance, and the four human nations such as the Bingxi Alliance will probably also intervene.

As long as they firmly control the 120 million square kilometers of land and 4000 million people directly under the king's jurisdiction, and with the backing of the Han and Tang Empires, the nobles from all over the Star-Moon Alliance must be loyal to Queen Deborah on the surface.

After helping Princess Dai Bona ascend the throne of the Star-Moon Alliance, the Han and Tang Empire has entered a period of steady and rapid development for several years. The development of the Han and Tang Empire in all aspects can even be described as changing with each passing day.

However, the tree wanted to be quiet but the wind never ceased. At the beginning of January in 1557, some wolf and leopard members of the Silver Wolf Empire and the Flying Leopard Empire suddenly targeted the human civilians in the territory and robbed them of their property.

In just a few days, more than 5 human civilians in these two countries were killed or injured, and the property lost by human civilians was as high as billions of silver coins.

Back then, when the human civilians in the Golden Lion, Red Tiger, Black Bear, Silver Wolf, and Flying Leopards immigrated to the feudal towns controlled by the Zhou family, because the Golden Lion, Red Tiger, and Black Bear countries all promulgated mandatory immigration policies. , so that the human civilians of these three orc countries basically migrated to the territory of the current Han and Tang Empires.

However, within the borders of the Silver Wolf Empire and the Flying Leopard Empire, there are still many human civilians. Because they are reluctant to part with the wealth accumulated by their ancestors, and these two countries have not promulgated mandatory immigration policies, these human civilians choose to continue to stay. Live in the Silver Wolf Empire or the Flying Leopard Empire.

According to statistics, by the end of Tianyuan 1556, there were still about 700 million humans living in the Silver Wolf Empire for a long time, and about 600 million humans living in the Flying Leopard Empire for a long time.

Although the humans in the Silver Wolf and Flying Leopards were not citizens of the Han and Tang Empires, after attacks against human civilians began in the two countries, the envoys of the Han and Tang Empires stationed in the Silver Wolf Empire, as well as the Han and Tang Empires The envoys stationed in the Flying Leopard Empire immediately lodged a strong protest to the above two countries.

It is required that the Silver Wolf Empire and the Flying Leopard Empire must immediately put an end to the massacre of human civilians in the country and severely punish all murderers who killed human civilians.

However, after the Silver Wolf Empire and the Flying Leopard Empire received strong protests from the Han and Tang Empires, their attitudes were very arrogant, and they all declared that the current riots were their two countries' internal affairs, and their two countries would take care of themselves. The Han and Tang empires stepped in.

Regarding the replies from the Silver Wolf Empire and the Flying Leopard Empire, Zhou Rui became angry as soon as he heard it, and immediately ordered multiple aircraft carrier formations of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires to gather on the coast of the Silver Wolf Empire and the Flying Leopard Empire, and at the same time ordered to approach the Silver Wolf Empire. The Han and Tang armies in the border areas are in a state of combat readiness.

目前汉唐帝国皇家海军正在服役的航空母舰，包括了40艘东瀛国翔鹤级航空母舰、60艘美国埃塞克斯级航空母舰、100艘鸟巢级航空母舰、160艘美国中途岛级航空母舰和80艘巨无霸级航空母舰。

The giant-class aircraft carrier is a super aircraft carrier independently built by the six major shipyards of the Han and Tang Empires. It has a full-load displacement of 115000 tons, a design maximum speed of 30 knots, and a crew of 3550.

The waterline armor belt is 120 mm to 150 mm thick, the flight deck armor is 120 mm thick, and the hangar deck armor is 120 mm thick.

装备有20门100毫米口径高平两用炮、80门40毫米高射炮，50门30毫米高射炮，50挺13毫米高射机枪。

It can be equipped with 48 jet-based carrier-based fighters, 48 ​​jet-based carrier-based dive bombers and 48 jet-based carrier-based torpedo attack aircraft.

At the beginning of the design of the original giant-class aircraft carrier, it can carry 240 propeller carrier-based aircraft, but now all the aircraft carriers of the Han and Tang Empire, including the Dongying Guo Xianghe class, the American Essex class, the American Midway class and the Bird's Nest All of them are already equipped with jet carrier-based aircraft independently designed and built by the Han and Tang Empires.

Since the space occupied by jet carrier-based aircraft is much larger than that of propeller carrier-based aircraft, the Jumbo-class aircraft carrier can only carry 146 jet-based carrier-based aircraft, and the number of carrier-based aircraft carried by the other four aircraft carriers is also corresponding. reduced a bit.

The Dongying Guoxianghe class, the American Essex class, the American Midway class, and the Bird's Nest class, these four aircraft carriers have all undergone modifications to varying degrees in order to be able to carry jet carrier-based aircraft.

The Dongying Guoxianghe-class aircraft carrier, the US Essex-class aircraft carrier and the Bird's Nest-class aircraft carrier can all carry 45 jet carrier-based aircraft, and the US Midway-class aircraft carrier can carry 72 jet carrier-based aircraft.

In the past few years, Zhou Rui has obtained a large number of American Midway-class aircraft carriers from the lottery system, which makes the number of American Midway-class aircraft carriers currently in service in the Imperial Navy of the Han and Tang Empires as high as 160.

However, the lottery system never gave Zhou Rui a more advanced aircraft carrier or a more advanced jet fighter. The jet fighters that were awarded by the lottery system still belonged to the first generation of jet fighters.

At present, the jet fighters produced by several large aircraft manufacturers in the Han and Tang Empires have surpassed the first-generation jet fighters in all aspects of performance. Except that they are not equipped with missiles, they are comparable to the second-generation jet fighters in other aspects. , especially in terms of maximum flight speed.

Zhou Rui set up a missile research and development department long ago, but because he still couldn't solve the problem of the guidance system, the missiles of the Han and Tang Empires could not be developed for a long time.

Today, the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires uses aircraft carriers as their capital ships and has formed dozens of aircraft carrier formations. Each aircraft carrier formation has 6 to 8 aircraft carriers under its jurisdiction.

The establishment of the 12 main fleets of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Dynasties has not changed, and each main fleet has several aircraft carrier formations under its jurisdiction.

The reaction of the Han and Tang Empire immediately caused the cloud of war to once again shroud the Han and Tang Empire and the 10-nation military alliance.

At the invitation of the Golden Lion Empire, the natural elf empire, light elf empire, and dark elf empire of the orc world joined the new military alliance a few years ago.

Because this new military alliance includes the Liangyan Empire, it is called the 10-nation military alliance.

In the palace of Noelya, the first capital of the Golden Lion Empire, Emperor Cosno asked Prime Minister Salento: "What is the attitude of the Silver Wolf Empire and the Flying Leopard Empire towards the military actions of the Han and Tang Empire?"

Prime Minister Salento said in a deep voice: "Both the Silver Wolf Empire and the Flying Leopard Empire have issued orders to mobilize their combat readiness. It is obvious that the Silver Wolf Empire and the Flying Leopard Empire are going to be tough this time."

Emperor Cosno smiled slightly, "It seems that the Red Tiger Empire has given the Silver Wolf Empire and the Flying Leopard Empire a lot of promises, otherwise the Silver Wolf Empire and the Flying Leopard Empire would not be the first birds."

Prime Minister Salento nodded, "According to the information obtained by the intelligence department, the Red Tiger Empire has indeed given a lot of benefits to the Silver Wolf Empire and the Flying Leopard Empire, and even donated the design drawings of several jet fighters to them for free. Silver Wolf Empire and Flying Leopard Empire.

Now the air forces and aircraft carriers of the Silver Wolf Empire and the Flying Leopard Empire have begun to equip jet fighters independently produced by the two countries. "

After learning that the Han and Tang Empires were equipped with jet fighters, each country in the 10-nation military alliance began to develop their own jet fighters.

Several jet fighters developed by the Red Tiger Empire have very good performance, and their maximum flight speed even reaches supersonic speed.

On the condition of selling iron ore, the Golden Lion Empire, in conjunction with the Natural Elf Empire, the Light Elf Empire, and the Dark Elf Empire, jointly developed several jet fighters. The performance in all aspects is comparable to that of several large aircraft manufacturers in the Han and Tang Empires. Produced fighter jets.

Emperor Cosno's eyes flashed brightly, "Sarento, do you think it's time to start another war with the Han and Tang Empire?"

Prime Minister Sarantor said loudly: "Your Majesty, after these years of dormancy, it can be said that the ten-nation military alliance is not weaker than the Han and Tang Empires in all aspects of the sea, land and air forces.

Especially in terms of the navy, our Royal Navy of the Golden Lion Empire alone already has 84 Stinger-class aircraft carriers and 150 Poisonous Lotus-class aircraft carriers.
