Chapter 326: Sixty Years Old
After signing an armistice with the Nine-Nation Military Alliance, the Han and Tang armies began to withdraw from the Flying Leopard Empire's Yanekod Province, and began to receive the Black Bear Empire's Raku Province and Sotni Province, cities and towns close to the Gyada Mountains.
Because the Han and Tang armies had stopped their offensive in the territory of the Black Bear Empire, these cities and villages in the Geyada Mountains were not captured by the Han and Tang armies.
However, the war of the Han and Tang Empires did not end, and the Han and Tang troops stationed in the surrounding areas of the capital Tiansheng City were transferred to the magic world and joined the war with the Totem Alliance.
Although the air force and army of the Han and Tang Empires had advanced weapons and equipment, they did not take advantage of the beast army of the Totem Alliance.
In particular, the 4 ninth-level wizards and 6 ninth-level warriors of the Totem Alliance caused very large losses to the Han and Tang Dynasty armies, forcing Zhou Rui to send more army troops and fighters to the garrison of Golden Dragon City.
As for Princess Deliya Agudeka of the Chiyan Alliance, Zhou Rui had already seen it, and agreed to her Mao Sui's self-recommendation, and included Princess Deliya Agudeka in the harem.
Although Zhou Rui already had the idea of sending troops to the Chiyan Alliance before meeting Princess Deliya, it was only after Zhou Rui met Princess Dilia that the Golden Dragon City Garrison Legion entered the Chiyan Alliance.
I don't know how this matter got out, but this also made the outside world rumor that the emperor of the Han and Tang Empires sent troops to fight with the Totem Alliance because Chong Guan was angry.
Of course, Zhou Rui would never admit this, and accepted Princess Deliya mainly to control the Chiyan Alliance.
In this way, it will be more convenient for the Han and Tang Empires to exchange gold in the territory of the Chiyan Alliance in the future.
In the royal palace of Moai, the capital of the Totem Alliance, Emperor Ross de Josia said to the high priest Terta Katitei with a sad face: "I never expected that the Holy Land of Prapino would fall. ”
Prapineau, as Emperor Roth Josia spoke, was a ninth-level warrior of the Totem Alliance.
In the recent battle, the ninth-level soldier was injured by a 1,200-kilogram aerial bomb, and was immediately besieged by multiple tanks, and finally killed by tank guns.
The death of this ninth-level warrior can be said to have caused an uproar in the beast army of the Totem Alliance, and even in the entire Continent of the Gods.
This is the first ninth-level professional in the history of the Continent of the Gods to be killed by other ninth-level professionals in battle.
High Priest Terta Katitei hesitated for a moment and asked, "Your Majesty, what's the reaction from the Holy Land?" ”
Emperor Roth Josia sighed and said, "The Holy Land didn't say anything about this, but since the weapons of the Han and Tang Dynasty armies could kill Venerable Prapineau, then the other Venerables of the Holy Land also had the possibility of falling.
Coupled with the powerful and main forces of our Totem Alliance, the losses in the territory of the Chiyan Alliance are now very large, and I have some thoughts of retreating. ”
The ideas of the High Priest Terta Katitei have always been pandered to Emperor Roth Josiah.
So the high priest Terta Katitei nodded and said, "The combat effectiveness of the Han and Tang armies is indeed much stronger than we expected.
Now that the war in the Red Flame Alliance has formed a stalemate, the minister is worried that other countries, especially the Elven Forest Alliance and the Dwarven Rock Alliance, will send troops to the Red Flame Alliance again.
Once those human countries, as well as the Forest Alliance and the Rock Alliance, join forces with the Han and Tang Empires, the situation of our Totem Alliance will not be good. ”
The words of the high priest Terta Katitei strengthened Emperor Roth Josia's determination to withdraw his troops, "We must contact the Han and Tang Empires."
After the end of the war, it is hoped that trade between the two sides will continue. ”
After the Han and Tang Dynasty troops killed a ninth-level warrior of the Totem Alliance, the beast army of the Totem Alliance began to fully retreat from the territory of the Chiyan Alliance.
Immediately afterwards, the Totem Alliance sent people to negotiate with the Han and Tang Empires, hoping to continue to trade with the Han and Tang Empires in exchange for silver, steel, and grain on the condition of withdrawing troops from the territory of the Chiyan Alliance.
What Zhou Rui values most about the Wizarding World is that he can obtain a large amount of gold from various countries in the Continent of the Gods, so Zhou Rui did not refuse the Totem Alliance's request to continue to maintain trade.
With the end of the two wars, the Han and Tang Empires began a recuperation for more than ten years, during which there were conflicts with the military alliance of the Nine Kingdoms, which had not yet been dissolved, but no new wars broke out between the two sides.
On February 10, 1576, the 25th anniversary of Zhou Rui's accession to the throne and proclamation as emperor, the Han and Tang Empires held a grand military parade.
After the end of the last war, the land area of the Han and Tang Empires had reached 111.3 million square kilometers, and after more than ten years of recuperation, the total population of the Han and Tang Empires reached 4.2 billion.
Such a huge land area and total population are also important reasons why the Nine-Power Military Alliance has been relatively honest for more than ten years.
Of course, the military alliance of the nine countries did not dare to provoke the Han and Tang Empires, and the most important reason was the strong military strength of the Han and Tang Empires.
Zhou Rui, who was standing on the gatehouse of the main gate of the palace, said to Xiang Tao, commander-in-chief of the Royal Army of the Han and Tang Empires, after dozens of teams of foot personnel and dozens of teams of weapons and equipment walked over: "Now with the upgrading of the weapons and equipment of the armies of various countries, the advantages of the Royal Army of our Han and Tang Empires will become smaller and smaller.
However, weapons and equipment must ultimately be used by people, and the Royal Army's fine traditions must never be lost, and training in all aspects must be strengthened. ”
After more than 10 years of development, the Han and Tang Empires have not only developed missiles long ago, but have even launched a number of military satellites, and the weapons and equipment of the navy, land and air forces have been greatly improved.
In addition to not developing a weapon of mass destruction, only in terms of military equipment, the Han and Tang Empires were almost equivalent to the level of the earth's seventies and eighties of the twentieth century.
Zhou Xiaorong, the former commander-in-chief of the Royal Army of the Han and Tang Empires, resigned from the army nine years ago because of his age, and Xiang Tao, chief of the general staff of the Royal Army, immediately took over as the commander-in-chief of the Royal Army.
Now even Zhou Rui is sixty years old, in addition to the army of the Han and Tang Empires, most of the government affairs are now handled by the crown prince Zhou Jun.
Even in military affairs, Zhou Rui only focuses on the upgrading of weapons and equipment, and Zhou Rui now spends more time with his family.
Xiang Tao nodded and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, the fine traditions of the Royal Army will never be lost."
In addition, our Royal Army is in the process of large-scale replacement of third-generation main battle tanks and more helicopter gunships.
If the third war breaks out between the Han and Tang Empires and the Nine Nations Military Alliance, our Royal Army is confident that we will once again help the Empire achieve victory. ”
The third-generation main battle tank was the first to be shouted out by Zhou Rui, mainly because Zhou Rui drove the Huaxia Type 99 main battle tank, the American M1A2 main battle tank and the Russian T-80 main battle tank from the lottery system, all of which belong to the third-generation main battle tank.
The third-generation main battle tanks are equipped with tank guns with a caliber of more than 120 mm, equipped with advanced fire control systems, and equipped with automatic sensing equipment, which has achieved a high degree of automation, electronic, and all-weather combat capability.
Compared with the second-generation main battle tank equipped by the Royal Army of the Han and Tang Empires, the third-generation main battle tank is more mobile and flexible, with stronger protection capabilities, and is also equipped with a highly automated command and communication system, which can greatly improve the mobility and combat efficiency of the tank.
The second-generation main battle tanks equipped by the Royal Army of the Han and Tang Empires, in addition to the American M60 main battle tank, the Chinese Type 69 main battle tank, and the Soviet T62 main battle tank opened by Zhou Rui from the lottery system, there are also the Black Dragon main battle tanks independently designed and produced by the Han and Tang Empires.
After Zhou Rui took out the third-generation main battle tank from the lottery system, the military industrial enterprises of the Han and Tang Empires developed the Red Dragon main battle tank on the basis of the Black Dragon main battle tank, and the performance of the Red Dragon main battle tank in all aspects has reached the level of the third-generation main battle tank.
In the more than ten years after the end of the war, the six orc countries and the three elf countries have not been left behind by the Han and Tang Empires in the development of military equipment, and now the Golden Lion Empire, the Red Tiger Empire, the Black Bear Empire, and the three elf countries have developed the third generation of main battle tanks.
Among the six beast countries, the Silver Wolf Empire, the Flying Leopard Empire, and the Wild Bull Empire, their armies are also widely equipped with second-generation main battle tanks.
After dozens of ground weapons and equipment teams passed, the next echelon came out, and the first air echelon consisted of 24 American Apache helicopter gunships.
The U.S. Apache helicopter gunship was driven by Zhou Rui from the lottery system and can carry anti-tank missiles, artillery, rockets, machine guns, air-to-air missiles, rockets, bombs, mines, torpedoes, mines and other weapons.
At present, the Han and Tang Empires have been able to imitate this armed helicopter on a large scale, so the armed helicopters equipped by the Royal Army of the Han and Tang Empires are all this one.
The next air echelon is composed of 24 American F-16 fighters, which belong to the fourth generation fighter.
According to Zhou Rui's classification, fighters are divided into five generations.
First-generation fighters generally used swept wings, equipped with turbojet engines, and could fly at supersonic speeds, but their electronics were still very rudimentary, and the onboard weapons were mainly large-caliber guns.
The second-generation fighter has all-weather combat capabilities, is equipped with medium-range air-to-air missiles, can take into account ground attacks, and has some improvements in the performance of onboard electronics and weapons systems.
The third-generation fighter can reach twice the speed of sound, thanks to the progress of various systems, especially advanced radar equipment, and the strengthening of missile applications, so that the third-generation fighter began to tend to a multi-task, multi-purpose route, the development of the first two generations of fighters, single-purpose interceptors and fighter-bombers have progressed to this point.
The fourth-generation fighter adopts a large number of aerodynamic optimized shape design, a large number of composite materials are used to reduce the weight of the fuselage, the head space is freed up to equip large aviation radars, and a large number of advanced avionics equipment are used, and the maneuverability is greatly enhanced, and the main weapon of this generation of fighters is air-to-air missiles, which are called high-altitude, high-speed and high-mobility fighters.
The fifth-generation fighter is the most advanced fighter in modern time and space, with supersonic cruise, stealth, short take-off and landing capabilities, and super maneuverability.
Among them, the fifth-generation fighter, Zhou Rui has not yet been opened from the lottery system.
However, thanks to the large number of fourth-generation fighters from the lottery system, as well as the fourth-generation fighter independently developed by the Han and Tang Empires, the Falcon fighter, the Royal Air Force of the Han and Tang Empires has already begun to fully equip the fourth-generation fighters.
It is a pity that the Golden Lion Empire, the Red Tiger Empire and the three elven countries have also developed fourth-generation fighters not long after the Royal Air Force of the Han and Tang Empires was equipped with fourth-generation fighters, making it impossible for the Han and Tang Empires to form an absolute advantage in the air force.
In addition to the American F-16 fighter jet, Zhou Rui also opened a number of fourth-generation fighters from the lottery system, including the fourth-generation fighter that can be used as a carrier-based aircraft.
Zhou Rui saw 24 American F-16 fighters flying through the air, and couldn't help but turn his head and ask Huang Zhigang, commander-in-chief of the Royal Air Force of the Han and Tang Empires: "How many fourth-generation fighters are there in the Air Force now?" ”
Huang Zhigang immediately replied: "Your Majesty, the Falcon fighter, which belongs to the fourth generation fighter, has been equipped with more than 2,600 units, plus other types of fourth-generation fighters, the total number exceeds 5,000 units.
In addition, we have more than 20,000 third-generation fighters of various types in the Royal Air Force. ”
Zhou Rui pondered for a while and said: "In the secret warehouse, there are more than 700 fourth-generation fighters, after the parade is over, you send someone to take away the more than 700 fourth-generation fighters in the secret warehouse!"
Recently, some countries in the nine-nation military alliance have been moving very frequently on the border, and the air force has to speed up the speed of equipping it with fourth-generation fighters. ”
The secret warehouse mentioned by Zhou Rui was built on the outskirts of Tiansheng City, mainly to facilitate Zhou Rui to extract all kinds of materials from the lottery system.
Of course, like a warship, Zhou Rui can only extract it by going to the Crescent Island Naval Base.
Huang Zhigang hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, the military spending of our Royal Air Force this year ......"
Before Huang Zhigang's words were finished, he was interrupted by Zhou Rui, "I will ask the Ministry of Finance to allocate an additional 20 billion silver coins for your air force."
If you don't have enough money, you have to build as many Falcon fighters as you can, and the airspace of the empire needs enough fourth-generation fighters to protect it. ”
In the past ten years, although the prices of the Han and Tang Empires have risen somewhat, because the Han and Tang Empires have always insisted on using gold and silver coins, the increase is not large, and 20 billion silver coins is still an astronomical amount.
The Falcon fighter, which belongs to the fourth generation of fighters, is relatively expensive, and the cost of each Falcon fighter is about 4 million silver coins, and 20 billion silver coins is enough to build 5,000 Falcon fighters.
