Regarding some matters concerning the formation of the six-nation joint expeditionary force, such as the proportion and scale of troops sent by each country, as well as the distribution of benefits after the war, the representatives of the six orc countries have never reached an agreement, and no one wants their country to suffer.

And just when the representatives of the six beast countries were fighting for the interests of their own countries, the anger of the representative of the Barbarian Bull Empire, the first deputy minister of the army of the Barbarian Bull Empire, became bigger and bigger.

Mainly in the recent period, the bad news about the Wild Bull Empire has been transmitted to the Morning Star City of the Golden Lion Empire one after another, so that Vikasa can't do it even if he wants to calm down.

On January 12, after the 29th Army and the 36th Army of the Barbarian Bull Empire were completely annihilated, on January 18, the encircled 31st Army and the 40th Army of the Manniu Empire were also besieged by the superior forces of the Silver Wolf Column of the rebel army, and the whole army was annihilated, so far only 7 group armies of the Manniu Empire were left in the encirclement.

At this time, the 8 group armies of the Barbarian Bull Empire that rushed to the rescue from the Tulip Province and Phalaenopsis Province of the Silver Wolf Empire had already converged, and they were less than 60 kilometers away from the 7 group armies that were surrounded.

It's a pity that the reinforcements of these 8 group armies were blocked by the blocking troops of the silver wolf column of the rebel army.

By January 30, only the Second Army, the Sixteenth Army and the Seventeenth Army were left in the encirclement, and the other four armies had also been eaten by the Silver Wolf Column of the rebels.

And the reinforcements of the 8 armies were still about 30 kilometers away from the encircled 2nd Army, 16th Army and 17th Army.

What made the War Department of the Barbarian Bull Empire even more frightened was that a large number of human resistance troops also appeared around the 8 army groups as reinforcements.

In the end, in order to prevent these 8 group armies from being surrounded by human rebels, the War Department of the Barbarian Bull Empire had no choice but to issue an order to retreat to these 8 group armies.

The 2nd Army, the 16th Army, and the 17th Army in the encirclement were also given orders to break out of the encirclement on their own.

The brute bull army in the previous encirclement has organized several large-scale breakouts, but they have not succeeded, if they can break through on their own, where will they still be trapped here, let the rebel silver wolf column eat bite by bite.

Originally, according to the plan of Xiang Tao, the commander-in-chief of the Silver Wolf Column, all the 19 group armies of the Barbarian Bull Empire that entered the territory of the Silver Wolf Empire were left behind, so as to reduce the pressure on the Silver Wolf Column in the New Wilk Province of the Barbarian Bull Empire.

However, the encirclement and annihilation battle in the previous month also caused the losses of the participating troops of the Silver Wolf Column to be very large, and the Silver Wolf Column could not mobilize too much strength for the time being to encircle the other 8 group armies of the Barbarian Bull Empire, so Xiang Tao could only let these 8 group armies retreat to the New Wilk Province of the Barbarian Bull Empire.

What was beneficial to the Silver Wolf Column was that the eight armies of the Barbarian Bull Empire had suffered a serious attrition, and the eight armies, which could have reached 640,000 men at full strength, had less than 350,000 combatable troops in the eight armies when they retreated into New Wilk Province on February 6.

On the day of February 6, the last three armies of the Barbarian Bull Army, which were surrounded by the Silver Wolf Column of the rebels, were completely annihilated.

Two days later, the eleven main formations of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet of the Han and Tang Empires, escorting nearly 1,000 large ocean-going transport ships, arrived at the waters off the eastern coast of the Manniu Empire.

Although the navy of the Golden Lion Empire and the navy of the Red Tiger Empire both sent a large number of warships to help the Barbarian Bull Empire blockade this sea area, in the face of nearly 300 capital ships of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet, the navies of these two beast countries actually chose to avoid it.

The navy of the Silver Wolf Empire, for its own interests, also sent some warships to this sea area on the eastern coast of the Barbarian Bull Empire.

However, seeing that the navies of the Golden Lion and Red Tiger retreated without a fight, and the navy of the Silver Wolf Empire also withered, they directly chose to evacuate.

Only the navy of the Wild Bull Empire was not afraid of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet, which had nearly 300 capital ships, but it was a pity that the Wild Bull Empire Navy, which had destroyers and torpedo boats as its main combat ships, did not bring much trouble to the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet.

After a crushing naval battle, the eleven main formations of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet easily defeated the navy of the Wild Bull Empire, escorting nearly a thousand large ocean-going transport ships to a port in the eastern part of the Wild Bull Empire, which had been captured by the Silver Wolf Column at this time.

After the Silver Wolf Column received millions of tons of various combat materials and reinforcements from 20 infantry divisions, the Silver Wolf Column's offensive in the New Wilk Province of the Barbarian Bull Empire was higher and higher, and there was even a posture of wanting to capture the entire New Wilk Province.

In the Governor's Mansion in Detrika City, the second capital of the Barbarian Bull Empire, Governor Trophi slapped the table and shouted angrily: "What a joint expeditionary force of the six nations! It's all bullshit!

It seems that if we want to destroy the human resistance in the territory of New Wilk Province, we can only rely on our own strength of the Barbarian Empire! ”

The War Minister of the Barbarian Bull Empire, Tonech, immediately hesitated and said: "Governor, our War Department is ready to transfer another 10 group armies and 15 independent divisions from the Spirit Race World into New Wilk Province, and we must drive the human resistance army in New Wilk Province back to the Silver Wolf Empire as soon as possible."

However, since the supply channel between the Han and Tang Empires and the human rebels has been opened again, it may take more time to bring the human rebels back to the Silver Wolf Empire. ”

Governor Trofe gritted his teeth and said: "I didn't expect that the Golden Lion Empire and the Red Tiger Empire would be unreliable at a critical time, if it weren't for the navies of their two countries retreating without a fight, the Royal Navy of our Barbarian Bull Empire would not have lost so badly." ”

In that naval battle off the eastern coast of the Bull Empire, the navy of the Bull Empire was sunk a total of 7 battleships with full main guns, 14 all-steel battleships, 17 large armored cruisers, 26 light cruisers, 69 destroyers, and 113 torpedo boats.

And the losses of the South-Western coastal defense fleet were minimal, not even a single battleship and battle cruiser with full main guns were sunk, only 2 large armored cruisers, 6 light cruisers and 9 destroyers were sunk.

At this time, the Minister of the Navy, Larion, said: "Governor, the Six Nations Joint Expeditionary Force has not been formed for a long time, and it is likely that the other five Spirit Race countries are deliberately trying to let the human resistance army consume the strength of our Barbarian Empire.

On behalf of our Barbarian Bull Empire, Vikasa has repeatedly made concessions at the Six Nations Conference, but the other five Spirit Race countries have never had the slightest intention of making concessions, making the formation of the Six Nations Joint Expeditionary Force still far away. ”

Governor Trophi snorted coldly and said, "Let Vikasa come back!"

There is no need to waste any more time, the other five spirit nations obviously want to watch the fire from the other side. ”

At the Governor's Mansion in Morning Star City, the second capital of the Golden Lion Empire, the First Vice Minister of the Admiralty Raff reported to Governor Kosno: "Vikassar, the First Vice Minister of the Army of the Barbarian Bull Empire, has left Morning Star City at noon today. ”

Governor Kosno smiled nonchalantly and said, "I'm surprised that this Vikasa has survived until now to leave Morning Star City.

This time, not only our Golden Lion Empire hopes to weaken the strength of the Wild Bull Empire with the help of the human resistance, but also the Red Tiger Empire, the Black Bear Empire, the Flying Leopard Empire, and the Silver Wolf Empire should all have this idea. ”

Knowing that the Zhou family of the Han and Tang Empires this time, in order to support the silver wolf column of the rebel army, they actually transferred 20 infantry divisions from the various feudal towns under their jurisdiction and sent them directly to the Manniu Empire.

Let the Golden Lion Empire and several other orc countries can't help but have some other thoughts.

Now the big war in the New Wilk Province of the Barbarian Bull Empire is almost equivalent to the Zhou family of the Han and Tang Empires going into battle shirtless, so why not let the Zhou family of the Han and Tang Empires and the Manniu Empire fight for a lose-lose situation?

Raff hesitated and said, "Governor, what if the human resistance army supported by the Zhou family of the Han and Tang Empires has gained a foothold in the New Wilk Province of the Barbarian Bull Empire?" ”

Governor Kosno waved his hand and said, "That's impossible.

Don't look at the weak navy of the Manniu Empire, but the army of the Manniu Empire is still quite strong in combat, and it must be able to defeat the human resistance supported by the Zhou family of the Han and Tang Empires in the end.

Even if the situation you mentioned happens, we can restart the plan for the Six-Nation Joint Expeditionary Force! ”

The withdrawal of the Barbarian Bull Empire, coupled with the fact that the other five orc nations had their own ghosts, finally made the plan of the Six Nations Joint Expeditionary Force equivalent to stillbirth.

Yegor, the first vice minister of the Navy of the Silver Wolf Empire, who participated in the meeting of the Six Nations, immediately reported the experience of this trip to Governor Igna after returning to Silver Light City, the second capital of the Silver Wolf Empire.

"Originally, I wanted to limit the number of capital ships of our Silver Wolf Empire's Royal Navy to 350, but due to the nonsense of Annot, the first vice minister of the Flying Leopard Empire's navy.

In the end, our Royal Navy of the Silver Wolf Empire can only be the same as the Navy of the Flying Leopard Empire, and the number of capital ships is limited to 300. ”

Governor Kosno suddenly sighed and said, "The number of 300 capital ships is enough for the time being.

Recently, the financial pressure of the empire has been very great, and the funds for the construction of the next class of all-main gun battleships and the next class of battlecruisers have not yet been settled! ”

At present, there are still 86 battleships left in the three all-main gun battleships built by the Royal Navy of the Silver Wolf Empire before.

The Silver Wolf Empire's latest Oak-class all-main gun battleships and attack-class battlecruisers were each built 36 in the first batch, and then because of the shipbuilding competition, the Silver Wolf Empire built an additional 36 each.

Among them, the Oak-class all-main gun battleship, with a full load displacement of 30,000 tons, is equipped with 5 twin 45 times the caliber 350 mm main gun.

Attack-class battlecruiser with a full load displacement of 30,500 tons, armed with 4 twin 45x caliber 350 mm guns.

However, in the war with the Flying Leopard Empire, 8 Oak-class battleships and 10 attack-class battlecruisers were sunk by the Royal Navy of the Silver Wolf Empire.

So now the Royal Navy of the Silver Wolf Empire has a total of 150 battleships with full main guns and 62 battle cruisers, that is, 212 capital ships.

There is still some room for the limit of 300 capital ships.

It's a pity that the Silver Wolf Empire has gone through two wars with the Flying Leopard Empire, plus several years of fierce battles with the Silver Wolf Column, which has made the Silver Wolf Empire's financial deficit serious, even if there is still some room to build capital ships, the Silver Wolf Empire can't come up with much money for the time being.

Yegor hesitated and said, "Governor, but the Golden Lion Empire, the Red Tiger Empire, and the Black Bear Empire have all begun to have all-main gun battleships and battle cruisers with 380 mm main guns.

Even if the Six-Power Naval Limitation Treaty is signed, if the Royal Navy of the Silver Wolf Empire does not continue to build capital ships with larger main gun calibers, our Royal Navy of the Silver Wolf Empire will be far behind by the navies of several other Spirit Race countries. ”

Governor Kosno groaned for a moment and said, "Yegor, you should know it too.

Although the human rebels in the empire have shifted the target of their attacks to the Barbarian Bull Empire, most of the Bauhinia Province, Tulip Province, and Phalaenopsis Province are still occupied by the human rebels.

Even if our Silver Wolf Empire is watching the fire from the other side now, we will eventually have to fight a decisive battle with the human resistance forces in the Bauhinia Province, Tulip Province, and Phalaenopsis Province in the future.

So recently, the Royal Army of the Empire is undergoing a new round of expansion.

When the human resistance army and the Wild Bull Empire are defeated, the Imperial Royal Army will launch a new round of offensive operations. ”

Yegor cautiously asked, "Governor, can you build a few fewer ships first?"

According to intelligence, the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet of the Han and Tang Empires also seems to have full-main gun battleships and battle cruisers equipped with 380 mm main guns. ”

Governor Kosno frowned and asked, "Have the battleships of the next level of full main guns and the battlecruisers of the next level been designed?" ”

Yegor hurriedly nodded and said, "It's been designed."

Our Royal Navy's next-class all-main-gun battleships will use 5 twin 45-caliber 380-mm guns, with a full load displacement of 37,900 tons.

The next class of battle cruisers will use 4 twin-mounted 45-caliber 380-mm guns, with a full load displacement of 38,800 tons and a maximum speed of 26 knots. ”

"If 10 of the two capital ships are built at the same time, how much will it cost?"

"The next level of all-main gun battleships, if 10 are built at the same time, the cost is about 27 million silver coins.

The next class of battle cruisers, if 10 are built at the same time, will cost a little less, about 25.5 million silver coins. ”

Governor Kosno then was silent for a while before he spoke: "I will find a way to raise 400 million silver coins, and the rest of the shortfall, you Admiralty will figure it out yourself." ”

When Yegor heard this, he couldn't help but say excitedly: "Thank you Governor, the remaining more than 100 million silver coins, our Admiralty will definitely raise it!" ”

Governor Kosno said with some emotion: "Then let's build 10 new battleships and battle cruisers with all main guns first!"

Wait for the empire's finances to be more comfortable, and then carry out the second batch of construction of these two capital ships. ”
