After the land war fell into a stalemate, the Han and Tang Empires and the Nine ** Things Alliance both put their minds on opening up a third battlefield.

However, if you want to open up the third battlefield, you must first hold the sea dominance in your hands.

If we cannot gain sea supremacy, our own land forces will not be able to land in the coastal areas of the other side at all, and opening up a third battlefield will become an empty talk.

In order to seize sea dominance, after communicating with the six orc countries and the three elven countries, they decided to gather the naval forces of the nine countries together and strive to start a decisive battle with the royal fleet of the Han and Tang Empires.

After Zhou Rui ascended the throne, the border fleet was named the Royal Fleet of the Han and Tang Empires by Zhou Rui, which can also be called the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires.

The army of the border guards was named the Royal Army of the Han and Tang Empires by Zhou Rui, and the border air defense forces were given the name of the Royal Air Force of the Han and Tang Empires.

On the morning of March 15, 1550, a dense crowd of warships almost covered the sea near the port of Zatvina of the Silver Wolf Empire.

The port of Zatvina is a port in the Violet Province of the Silver Wolf Empire, and it is also the closest port to the Jingzhou Military Region of the Han and Tang Empires.

Now the main naval forces of the six orc countries and the three elven countries are all gathered here in the port of Zatvina, and thousands of warships are about to overwhelm the port of Zatvina.

In a small two-story building in the port of Zatvina, the nine commanders of the nine navies gathered and began to discuss the formation of a joint fleet of the nine navies.

The Admiral Minister of the Silver Wolf Empire, Yegor, smiled and said to the naval commanders of the other eight countries: "Our combined fleet of the navies of the nine countries has finally gathered.

I think that the next step is to elect a commander-in-chief of the combined fleet of the nine-nation navy to control the overall situation, I wonder what you think? ”

Svia, the Admiral of the Red Tiger Empire, immediately said, "Admiral Yegor is right, I have elected Bolenka, the Admiral of the Nature Spirit Empire, to be the commander-in-chief of our nine-nation naval combined fleet.

The naval battle, which severely damaged the 12th formation of the Han and Tang Navy, was personally commanded by Marshal Bolenka.

In addition, Marshal Bolenka had a lot of experience in the operation of aircraft carriers. ”

Svia's words immediately made the commanders of several other orc countries frown, it seemed that the Red Tiger Empire was getting closer and closer to the three elf countries.

The First Vice Minister of the Navy of the Flying Leopard Empire, Annot, said in a deep voice: "I have elected General Raff of the Golden Lion Empire to be the commander-in-chief of the combined fleet of the nine navies.

This time, the fleet sent by the Golden Lion Empire is the strongest, and it should be commanded by General Raff.

What's more, the combined fleet of our nine-nation navy should still be dominated by all-main gun battleships and battle cruisers to fight against the navy of the Han and Tang Empires. ”

The First Vice Minister of the Navy of the Black Bear Empire, Murka, followed and said, "I also nominated Admiral Raff to be the commander-in-chief of the Combined Fleet of the Nine Nations Navy. ”

At this time, the Admiral of the Nature Spirit Empire, Bolianka, said with a smile: "I also think that it is most suitable for General Raff to be the commander-in-chief of our nine-nation naval combined fleet.

However, I hope that General Raff will pay attention to the role of aircraft carriers in naval warfare, after all, in terms of aircraft carriers, our combined fleet of nine navies has an advantage. ”

The Golden Lion Empire's Admiralty Minister Raff nodded slightly, "Marshal Bolenka, don't worry, I myself am very optimistic about aircraft carriers, this time our Royal Navy of the Golden Lion Empire has also sent all the 12 Stinger-class aircraft carriers that have just been commissioned to the combined fleet of the nine navies." ”

The Stinger-class aircraft carrier of the Golden Lion Empire can be said to be the world's first aircraft carrier in the true sense, with a full load displacement of 31,000 tons and a maximum speed of 30.5 knots.

It is equipped with 24 90-mm high-level guns, 48 40-mm anti-aircraft guns, and 56 18-mm anti-aircraft machine guns.

It has 32 carrier-based fighters, 32 carrier-based torpedo aircraft and 32 carrier-based bombers, for a total of 96 carrier-based aircraft.

Thanks to the Golden Lion Empire's strong scientific research capabilities and industrial base, the three carrier-based aircraft equipped with the Stinger-class aircraft carrier are no worse than the carrier-based aircraft of the three elven countries in all aspects.

Svia, the admiral of the Red Tiger Empire, heard that even Bolenka of the Nature Spirit Empire had taken the initiative to suggest that Raff be the commander-in-chief of the combined fleet of the Nine Nations Navy, so he hurriedly said: "It is also very suitable for General Raff to be the commander-in-chief, I agree!" ”

Raff glanced at Svia meaningfully, then said with a smile: "The commander-in-chief is just a name, and the specific matters still have to be discussed by the nine of us."

In order to give you a better understanding of the strength of our nine-nation naval combined fleet, I suggest that each of you introduce the strength of your own naval fleet. ”

After a pause, Raff continued: "Let me first introduce the warship sent by our Royal Navy of the Golden Lion Empire this time.

There are 270 battleships with full main guns, including 80 Giant Lion, 60 Dragon Lion, 20 Red Flame Lion, 30 Unicorn, 40 Brave, 22 Black Prince, and 18 Six-Headed Snake.

232 battle cruisers, including 80 flyover, 60 hussar, 47 conquer and 45 striker.

There are 36 aircraft carriers, including 12 Stinger-class and 24 escort carriers converted from merchant ships.

There are also 240 large armored cruisers, 360 light cruisers, 460 destroyers and 120 submarines. ”

Raff said it calmly, but it made many people present gasp.

The Admiral of the Nature Spirit Empire, Bolenka, secretly sighed in his heart, the gap between his country's navy and the navy of the Golden Lion Empire was too big.

This time, the navy of the Nature Elf Empire was almost exhausted, and it was only then that a fleet of 50 escort carriers, 40 all-main gun battleships, 30 all-steel battleships, 40 large armored cruisers, 70 light cruisers, and 70 destroyers were put together.

As for the navy of the Golden Lion Empire, the warships sent to the combined fleet of the nine navies this time exceeded 500 battleships and battle cruisers with all main guns.

You must know that the total number of warships that the Nature Elf Empire has joined the combined fleet of the Nine Nations Navy is only 300, and it seems that if you want to challenge the navy of the Golden Lion Empire at sea, the Nature Spirit Empire still has a long way to go.

Next, including the Admiral of the Nature Elf Empire, including the Admiral Borenka of the Nature Spirit Empire, the naval commanders of the other eight countries also introduced the strength of their naval fleets one after another.

The Admiral Minister of the Golden Lion Empire, Raff, then sighed and said, "Our combined fleet of the navies of the nine countries can be said to be a huge fleet of unprecedented scale.

Including aircraft carriers, the number of capital ships alone exceeds 1,800.

I believe that our combined naval fleet of the nine countries will definitely be able to defeat the naval fleet of the Han and Tang Empires! ”

In addition to the 538 capital ships of the Golden Lion Empire and the 90 capital ships of the Nature Spirit Empire, the Red Tiger Empire sent 340 capital ships, including 180 all-main gun battleships, 140 battle cruisers, and 20 escort carriers.

The Black Bear Empire sent 260 capital ships, including 120 capital ships with full main guns, 120 battle cruisers, and 20 escort carriers.

The Silver Wolf Empire sent 210 capital ships, including 100 all-gun capital ships, 80 battle cruisers, and 30 escort carriers.

The Flying Leopard Empire sent 140 capital ships, including 60 capital ships with full main guns, 56 battle cruisers, and 24 escort carriers.

The Wild Bull Empire sent 116 capital ships, including 60 capital ships with full main guns, 40 battle cruisers, and 16 escort carriers.

After the Wild Bull Empire was driven back to the beast world, the construction of its navy finally returned to the normal track, so this time the Wild Bull Empire was able to send a fleet that was not weak.

The Bright Elf Empire sent 50 capital ships, including 20 all-main gun battleships and 30 escort carriers.

The Dark Elf Empire sent 64 capital ships, including 24 all-main-gun battleships and 40 escort carriers.

In fact, among the naval fleets of the three elven countries, there are still many all-steel battleships, but in the naval sequence of the six orc countries, all-steel battleships with relatively backward performance in all aspects no longer exist.

The Commander of the Wild Bull Empire, Larion, couldn't help but say excitedly: "With a fleet of this size, it must be even if the 12 main fleets of the Han and Tang Empire Empires are combined.

The combined fleet of our nine-nation navy can also win in one battle! ”

The Minister of the Navy of the Silver Wolf Empire, Yegor, said: "We only know now that the general strength of the navy of the Han and Tang Empires must not be underestimated, and no one knows whether the emperor of the Han and Tang Empires who has just ascended the throne has hidden part of the naval strength of the Han and Tang Empires. ”

The Admiral of the Golden Lion Empire, Raff, nodded and said, "General Yegor is right, we have suffered several big losses in the hands of the fleet of the Han and Tang Empires before, and we really can't underestimate the enemy. ”

The Admiral of the Nature Elf Empire, Bolianka, said at this time: "The territory of the Han and Tang Empires spans the east and west continents, and it must be impossible for the Han and Tang Empires to gather all 12 main fleets together.

If our combined fleet of the nine navies had a decisive battle with the navy of the Han and Tang Empires, it would definitely be able to occupy an advantage in terms of overall strength. ”

Raff agreed: "Marshal Bolenka has a point.

I would rather hope that the Han and Tang Empires would gather all 12 main fleets together, in that case, our combined fleet of the nine navies would not need to rush into a decisive battle with it, and perhaps another tactic could be chosen. ”

The First Vice Minister of the Navy of the Black Bear Empire, Murka, asked, "General Raff, what will we do next for the combined fleet of the Nine Nations Navy?" ”

"Flat push! Follow the Han and Tang Empire's coastal areas in the western continent!

Force the main naval force of the Han and Tang Empires to fight a decisive battle with our combined fleet of nine navies! ”

In the imperial palace of Tiansheng City, the capital of the Han and Tang Empires, Zhou Rui handed a few pieces of paper to Song Limin, commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires, "Old Song, this is the general situation of the combined fleet of the nine navies.

Now the combined fleet of the Nine Nations Navy has gathered together in the port of Zatvina in the Silver Wolf Empire. ”

Song Limin hurriedly flipped through it, and couldn't help frowning and said, "Your Majesty, with the strength of the combined fleet of the nine navies, unless we concentrate the 12 main fleets of our Royal Navy, it will be difficult to fight." ”

"The 54 aircraft carriers at the Crescent Island Naval Base can fight now?"

Song Limin hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, it's still a little reluctant to let those 54 aircraft carriers go into battle now."

There is a significant number of carrier-based aircraft pilots who have not yet mastered take-off and landing on the deck.

It would be better to give another 54 aircraft carriers, three months. ”

"Old Song, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, although our Royal Navy has 8 main fleets on the Western Continent, even if these 8 main fleets are gathered together, it will be difficult to defeat the combined fleet of the Nine Nations Navy.

Therefore, I propose to avoid its edge for the time being, wait for the day when 54 aircraft carriers can go into battle, and then gather more main fleets to start a decisive battle with the combined fleet of the nine navies. ”

Zhou Rui nodded, "I also don't think there's a need to rush into a decisive battle with the combined fleet of the Nine Nations Navy.

However, in this way, the coastal ports on the western continent may suffer a catastrophe. ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, over the years, we have been guarding the border...... The Royal Navy, in the coastal ports on the western continent, has invested heavily in the construction of very complete coastal defenses.

Relying on these coastal defense fortifications, it may be possible to bite off a few pieces of meat from the combined fleet of the nine navies. ”

Zhou Rui nodded and said, "Since you have an idea, follow your idea, and I will ask the Ministry of the Air Force and the Ministry of the Army to fully cooperate with you." ”

When Zhou Rui learned that the combined fleet of the navy of the nine countries had gathered thousands of warships, and that there were more than 1,800 battleships, battlecruisers, and aircraft carriers with all main guns, he knew that he had to wait for the 24 Xianghe-class aircraft carriers of the Dongying Kingdom and the 30 Essex-class aircraft carriers of the United States to have combat effectiveness before he could engage in a decisive naval battle with the combined fleet of the nine navies.

Otherwise, the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires will probably suffer.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the Royal Navy has developed from the garrison fleet of Ganyang City to today, and I have never seen any strong winds and waves, and I am confident that I can defeat the combined fleet of the Nine Nations Navy!"

As soon as Song Limin left, Queen Liu Yiqiu came over.

"Your Majesty, the concubines want to ask, what does the emperor think about the matter of draft girls?"

Zhou Rui hesitated for a moment and said, "Didn't I say it a few days ago, I don't need a draft girl, I have you by my side, as well as Yingying and Klenie, it's enough." ”

Liu Yiqiu said: "Your Majesty, now that you are the emperor of the Han and Tang Empires, it is necessary to have three palaces and six courts, otherwise the queen of the concubine will be incompetent."

If His Majesty has no opinion on the draft girl, then the matter of the draft girl will be fully responsible for the concubine. ”

Hearing Liu Yiqiu say this, Zhou Rui was no longer hypocritical, "Yiqiu, you can watch it!" ”

What Zhou Rui didn't expect was that Liu Yiqiu would choose a full 200 show girls for him, but these 200 show girls were all from the Nuoan Kingdom.

The kingdom of Nuo'an was founded by the fox people, the cat people and the rabbit people, so these 200 show girls are all beauties of these three tribes.

You must know that it is almost difficult for orcs and humans to give birth to offspring, and Liu Yiqiu will choose the beauties of these three tribes as show girls, and the reason is self-evident.
