The end of the military era

Since all the recruits are veterans, the combat effectiveness of the troops has not decreased due to the expansion.

Our Royal Army's 300 group armies and 1200 garrison divisions can be said to have completed pre-war preparations! "

At this time, Xiang Tao, Chief of the Royal Army General Staff of the Han and Tang Empire, said to Zhou Rui: "Your Majesty, our Han and Tang Empire will go to war with six orc nations and three elf nations at the same time.

Although the total strength of our Royal Army has exceeded 1 million, I suggest that we prepare to immediately expand the 1200 garrison divisions to 2400 garrison divisions, so as to avoid the shortage of troops in the war. "

Zhou Rui has no objection to the Royal Army's request for continued military expansion, "Yes! But is the army's stockpile of weapons enough to expand another 1200 garrison divisions?"

Xiang Tao nodded and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the weapons and equipment in our Royal Army's reserves, not to mention expanding 1200 garrison divisions, even if we expand [-] to [-] garrison divisions, are enough."

In fact, Zhou Rui's lottery system also reserves a large amount of army weapons and ammunition. If Zhou Rui extracts all of them, the weapons alone will be enough to equip 1200 garrison divisions.

Next, Zhou Rui asked Huang Zhigang, commander-in-chief of the Royal Air Force of the Han and Tang Empires: "How many of the newly expanded 70 air divisions have been formed?"

Huang Zhigang said: "Your Majesty, using the jet fighters and two propeller bombers originally stocked by our Royal Air Force, plus the jet fighters delivered to our Royal Air Force by more than a dozen aircraft manufacturers in recent months, we have now completed 30 Formation of a new air division.

However, according to the production capacity of more than a dozen aircraft manufacturers, it may take about 40 months to complete the remaining 10 fighters of the new Air Force Division. "

More than a dozen aircraft factories that produced jet fighters for the Royal Air Force of the Han and Tang Dynasties could produce about 4000 Magpie jet fighters, Heron jet medium-range bombers, and Goshawk jet long-range bombers every month.

Minister of Industry Kang Huai interjected at this time: "Your Majesty, our Ministry of Industry is adding some new production lines to more than a dozen aircraft factories that produce jet fighters for the Air Force.

According to the plan formulated by our Ministry of Industry, after two months, those dozens of aircraft factories can produce about 2 Magpie jet fighters, about 3000 Heron jet medium-range bombers, and about 2000 aircrafts per month. Goshawk jet long-range bomber.

Equipping fighter jets for the remaining 40 new air divisions should shorten the time by at least 2 months. "

Next, Minister of Finance Xia Zhang said under Zhou Rui's signal: "Everyone, Your Majesty has ordered our Ministry of Finance to prepare gold worth 1200 billion silver coins for the upcoming war.

If needed in the future, our Ministry of Finance can also take out gold worth 1200 billion silver coins for the expenditure of this war. "

Xia Zhang was the general manager of Zixing Films back then, and by holding Zhou Rui's thigh tightly, Xia Zhang has now become a senior member of the Han and Tang Empire.

Following Xia Zhang's words, Zhou Rui said to more than a dozen other high-level military and political officials of the Han and Tang Empires in the main hall: "Those orc countries, even the Red Tiger Empire and the Barbaric Bull Empire that we drove back to the orc world, are very important to us in the Han and Tang Dynasties. The empire has always been voyeuristic.

I don't want to fight, but I'm not afraid of fighting.

I hope that through this war that is about to break out, we can create a peaceful environment for the billions of people in the Han and Tang Empires.

Try to drive the Golden Lion Empire, Black Bear Empire, Flying Leopard Empire and Silver Wolf Empire back to the beast world! "

Chapter 3 The Shelling Incident

In the palace of Yinhui City, the first capital of the Silver Wolf Empire, Emperor Joselu sighed to his eldest son, Igna, the governor of the Silver Wolf Empire, and said: "The 80 billion silver coin national debt issued by the empire before is almost exhausted.

I have asked the Ministry of Finance to issue at least 50 billion silver coins of war debt to deal with the upcoming war with the Han and Tang Empires. "

The Silver Wolf Empire went through several wars with Zhou's army, and two wars broke out with the Flying Leopard Empire during the period, which made the Silver Wolf Empire's financial deficit very serious.

However, in the face of the threat of the Han and Tang Empires, the Silver Wolf Empire had to work hard to expand its armaments in recent years, and even used more than 70.00% of its fiscal revenue as military expenses.

The Silver Wolf Empire doesn't want to be driven back to the world of the Spirit Race by the Han and Tang Empire like the Red Tiger Empire and the Barbarian Bull Empire.

Governor Igna said with some bitterness: "Father, it seems that we can't do without fighting.

If we continue to struggle, the finances of our Silver Wolf Empire will collapse. "

Emperor Yosseru nodded slightly, "It is indeed time to make up your mind!

What's going on with the 20 Spike-class aircraft carriers?What is the performance of the three jet carrier-based aircraft equipped? "

The Wolf Fang class aircraft carrier is the latest aircraft carrier of the Silver Wolf Empire, with a full load displacement of 42000 tons, can carry 54 jet carrier-based aircraft, and a maximum speed of 29 knots.

Previously, the Silver Wolf Empire also built 20 Wolfbeard-class aircraft carriers with a full load displacement of 33000 tons. After modification, they can carry 42 jet carrier-based aircraft with a maximum speed of 28 knots.

The three jet carrier-based aircraft equipped on the Langya-class aircraft carrier and the Wolfbeard-class aircraft carrier are all imitated by the Silver Wolf Empire from the Red Tiger Empire.

In order to win over the Silver Wolf Empire so that they could regain the lost territory from the Han and Tang Empires, the Red Tiger Empire directly donated the design drawings of various jet fighters to the Silver Wolf Empire free of charge, including three jet fighters machine design drawings.

Governor Igna said: "Father, the 20 Spike-class aircraft carriers have initially formed combat capabilities, and the performance of the three jet carrier-based aircraft is very good.

However, although our Royal Navy of the Silver Wolf Empire already has 40 aircraft carriers, there is still a huge gap in strength between the Han and Tang Navy.

In terms of the navy, more can only count on the other five Eldar nations and the allies of the three Elven nations. "

Emperor Joselu said with some helplessness: "According to the reliable information obtained by the intelligence department, the navy of the Han and Tang Empires has at least 400 aircraft carriers alone, and there may be even more, and there are also super aircraft carriers with a full load displacement of more than 10 tons. .

The number of battleships and battlecruisers in the Han and Tang Empire Navy made me feel suffocated even more.

Fortunately, our Silver Wolf Empire has 8 other allies, otherwise I would not even have the courage to declare war with the Han and Tang Empires. "

Currently, the Silver Wolf Empire is in the Western Continent, and only the Violet Province, the Calla Lily Province, the Xiangxuelan Province and the Holy Wolf Flower Province are left, with a combined area of ​​about 600 million square kilometers.

The Silver Wolf Empire has a territory of about 700 million square kilometers in the orc world, while the total population of the Silver Wolf Empire in these two worlds is only about 16 billion.

The current Silver Wolf Empire is far inferior to the Han and Tang Empires in almost every aspect.

If the Silver Wolf Empire broke out with the Han and Tang Empire alone, the four provinces of the Silver Wolf Empire in the Western Continent might be wiped out by the Han and Tang Empire in less than three months.

Governor Igna comforted: "Father, although the Royal Navy of our Silver Wolf Empire is slightly weaker, the Royal Army and Royal Air Force of our Silver Wolf Empire are still capable.

At present, the total strength of the Royal Army is as high as 1500 million, of which about 1000 million army troops are deployed in the Violet Province and Calla Lily Province in the New World, and about 300 million army troops are deployed in the Xiangxuelan Province and St. Wolf flower province.

The remaining 200 million troops remained on the side of the Spirit Race world.

The Royal Air Force now has nearly 2 jet fighters, in addition to more than 1 propeller fighters and more than [-] propeller bombers. "

Emperor Joselu shook his head and said: "Compared with the army and air force of the Han and Tang Empires, the Royal Army and Royal Air Force of our Silver Wolf Empire are still not strong enough.

But in the future, the Royal Army and Royal Air Force must rely on the border defenses of Violet Province and Calla Lily Province to resist the possible first wave of offensive from the Han and Tang troops. "

On the morning of May 1557, 5, a position on the border defense line of the Silver Wolf Empire's Violet Province was suddenly bombarded.That afternoon, the Silver Wolf Empire held a press conference, announcing that the troops of the Han and Tang Empires had bombarded the border area of ​​the Silver Wolf Empire's Violet Province, causing casualties to dozens of wolf officers and soldiers.

At the press conference, the Silver Wolf Empire demanded that the Han and Tang Empires publicly apologize to the Silver Wolf Empire within 24 hours, severely punish the murderer, and compensate the casualties of the wolf clan officers and soldiers.

In a large hall of the imperial palace in Tiansheng City, the capital of the Han and Tang Empires, Zhou Rui asked Xiang Tao, Chief of the Royal Army General Staff of the Han and Tang Empires, "Did we fire the cannon?"

Xiang Tao said with certainty: "Your Majesty, we definitely did not fire the cannon.

The Jingzhou Military Region has conducted a strict investigation on this, and none of the troops deployed on the front line of the border fired at the position of the Silver Wolf Empire.

I suspect that the so-called shelling may have been programmed and directed by the Silver Wolf Empire in order to provoke a war. "

At this time, Prince Zhou Jun said: "Father, my son also thinks that it is probably written and directed by the Silver Wolf Empire.

According to the information provided by the Intelligence Bureau, the Silver Wolf Empire has completely emptied its entire family in order to expand its armaments in the past few years.

If a war does not break out, perhaps the Silver Wolf Empire will be dragged down by its huge army. "
