Because the Han and Tang armies launched attacks on the three elven countries at the same time, as well as the occupied areas of the Red Tiger Empire, the Barbarian Bull Empire, and the Silver Wolf Empire, although these six countries all sent some reinforcements to the defense line of the Geyada Mountain Range of the Black Bear Empire, the number of troops sent was not too many, ranging from 300,000 to 400,000 at most, and only about 100,000 at the least.

Only the Golden Lion Empire's support for the Black Bear Empire's defense line in the Gyada Mountains can be said to spare no effort, after all, once the defense line of the Gyada Mountains is lost, then the Black Bear Empire's six provinces north of the Gyada Mountains will be almost unsafe.

With the strength of the Han and Tang Empire's air force and army now, the fall of the six provinces of the Black Bear Empire may only be a matter of time.

After the fall of the six provinces of the Black Bear Empire, then the army units of the Han and Tang Empires could directly attack the mainland of the Golden Lion Empire in the Western Continent.

The reason why the Golden Lion Empire is willing to spare no effort to support the Black Bear Empire's defense line in the Geyada Mountains is that it doesn't want the above things to happen.

On the morning of April 10, 1577, in the imperial palace of Norya, the first capital of the Golden Lion Empire.

The Golden Lion Empire's War Minister Rofika reported to Emperor Kosno: "Your Majesty, up to now, our Royal Army has about 1.3 million troops stationed in the Gyada Mountains of the Black Bear Empire.

Within a week, about 2 million more of our Royal Army troops will be stationed in the Gyada Mountain Defence.

In addition, the Royal Air Force has 20 air divisions, including more than 2,000 fourth-generation fighters and more than 4,000 third-generation fighters, stationed at military airfields around the Gyada Mountains. ”

The establishment of the Golden Lion Imperial Air Force is different from the Royal Air Force of the Han and Tang Empires, the largest establishment of the Golden Lion Imperial Air Force is also an air force division, each air force division has 3 air force wings, each air force wing has 3 flight groups, each flight group is composed of 3 flight squadrons, each flight squadron has 12 combat aircraft, and the standard configuration of each air force division of the Golden Lion Empire is 324 combat aircraft.

Although the 20 air divisions mentioned by War Minister Rofika are mainly fighters, they will also have some early warning aircraft and electronic warfare planes under their jurisdiction, so the total number of fourth-generation fighters and third-generation fighters in the 20 air divisions is only a little more than 6,000.

Emperor Kosno asked in a deep voice, "How is the situation in the Guyada Mountain Range of the Black Bear Empire's defense line now?" ”

War Minister Rofika sighed and said, "The situation is not good, although our Golden Lion Empire Air Force has sent more than 6,000 fighters, and the other allies of the alliance have also sent more than 8,000 fighters combined.

However, the air force of the Han and Tang Empires still occupies a considerable advantage, and the losses of our Golden Lion Empire's air force are very large, and the losses of the air forces of other countries are not small.

Without air supremacy, the air force and artillery of the Han and Tang Empires? Can you unscrupulously bombard the defense line of the Gyada Mountains? Now a considerable part of the fortifications of the defense line of the Gyada Mountains have been destroyed and captured by the army of the Han and Tang Empires. ”

Emperor Kosno thought for a moment and said, "As far as possible to defend against the Gyada Mountains of the Black Bear Empire?" Additional Army and Air Force fighter jets.

Send another telegram to the Flying Leopard Empire? Let the Flying Leopard Empire also send as many army units as possible to support the Black Bear Empire's defense line in the Gyada Mountains. ”

In addition to the Golden Lion Empire, among the nine military alliances? The only country that was not attacked by the Han and Tang armies was the Flying Leopard Empire.

Even in that internal war of the military alliance of the Nine Nations? The Flying Leopard Empire's military strength has suffered very serious losses? However, the army of the Flying Leopard Empire still has nearly 10 million regular troops.

However, for the time being, the Flying Leopard Empire only sent 150,000 army troops and 36 third-generation fighters to the Black Bear Empire's defense line in the Gyada Mountains.

The air force establishment of the six beast countries is the same, and the 36 third-generation fighters of the Flying Leopard Imperial Air Force are also a flying group.

Then Emperor Kosno turned to Prime Minister Salento and asked, "What is the current production of fourth-generation fighters and third-generation fighters in our Golden Lion Empire?" How many planes can you reach each month? ”

Prime Minister Salento hurriedly said: "Since there have been a lot of civilian factories? It has been transformed into a spare parts and accessories factory for military enterprises, which has more than doubled the output of the fourth- and third-generation fighters of our Golden Lion Empire.

At present, it can produce more than 1,000 fourth-generation fighters and more than 600 third-generation fighters every month, including carrier-based fighters for the Air Force. ”

Originally, after the Golden Lion Empire began mass production of fourth-generation fighters, it had already sealed all the production lines of third-generation fighters, but when the three elven countries invaded the Flying Leopard Empire? The third-generation fighter production lines of the major flight factories of the Golden Lion Empire have all been unblocked? So now the major aircraft factories of the Golden Lion Empire can produce about 600 third-generation fighters every month.

Emperor Kosno nodded? "Let several aircraft factories strive to add some more production lines for fourth-generation fighters.

The next war with the Han and Tang Empires? Don't know how long it will take? The air force and navy of our Golden Lion Empire? More fourth-generation fighters are needed.

By the way, is there a problem with funding? ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, this time we have directly borrowed 100 billion silver coins directly from the six large banks in the country, and in a short period of time, there will be no problems in terms of funds.

In addition, more than half of the 50 billion silver dollars of war bonds issued by six major banks have been sold. Prime Minister Salento said.

Emperor Cosno sighed, "This time, our Golden Lion Empire is already in ruins, if we can't defeat the Han and Tang Empires in this war, we will get a huge war reparation."

Just those loans and war national debts can bankrupt our Golden Lion Empire. ”

In the country of the Golden Lion Empire, there are a total of six large banks, each of which is controlled by a consortium, but the royal family of the Golden Lion Empire, in these six large banks, has more than 20% of the dry shares.

Although these six large banks control the entire financial system of the Golden Lion Empire, they do not have much of their own funds, and if the Golden Lion Empire is unable to repay the loan of 100 billion silver coins to the six large banks in the end, these six large banks have no other way out but to fail.

And if all six large banks fail, the financial system of the Golden Lion Empire will collapse completely, and hundreds of millions of depositors will lose all their money.

Thinking about that scene, Emperor Kosno suddenly shuddered.

However, without lending to the six large banks, with the current financial situation of the Golden Lion Empire, it was simply unable to cope with the huge military expenditure, so even if Emperor Kosno knew how dangerous it was to do so, he had to borrow 100 billion silver coins from the six large banks.

Prime Minister Salento then said: "This time, the major consortiums of the empire have expressed their willingness to fully support the empire in this war.

The six consortiums, representing six large banks, even said that they could continue to provide large unsecured loans to the empire. ”

"Those consortia know very well that if this war is lost, what awaits our Golden Lion Empire and what awaits them these consortia.

If the Empire loses all the territory of the New World, it will be the Consortiums that will lose the most, apart from the Empire. ”

At this time, in a luxury hotel in Norya City, the first capital of the Golden Lion Empire, representatives of more than a dozen large consortia of the Golden Lion Empire were holding a secret meeting.

The person who presided over the meeting, named Onut, his family, controlled 62% of the shares of the Golden Lion Imperial Royal Commercial Bank, which was one of the six large banks in the Golden Lion Empire, and Onut was the current patriarch of this family.

In addition to the Royal Commercial Bank of the Golden Lion Empire, Onut's family also controls more than 50% of the coal business and more than 40% of the oil business of the Golden Lion Empire, which can be regarded as one of the top consortia in the Golden Lion Empire.

Onut said in a deep voice: "Everyone, the current situation, everyone knows very well in their hearts.

There is a contradiction between human beings and our spirit race, which cannot be reconciled at all, our spirit race has bullied human beings for more than 200 years, and now the Han and Tang Empires have suddenly risen, and human beings have begun to settle old accounts with our spirit race.

The Red Tiger Empire, the Silver Wolf Empire, and the Barbarian Bull Empire were all completely driven out of the Western Continent of the New World before, and the major consortia of the three Spirit Race countries can be said to have suffered heavy losses, and even many powerful consortia of the three Spirit Race countries have now ceased to exist because they were driven out of the Western Continent of the New World.

Presumably, none of you here want your own consortium to fall into that kind of situation, right? ”

At this time, Paoke of another consortium frowned and said: "Onut, our major consortiums have done their best for this war of the empire, and our Royal Bank of Communications has provided the empire with an unsecured loan of 16 billion silver coins, and also accepted the task of issuing 8 billion silver coins of war treasury bonds.

You should be aware of how risky an unsecured loan of 16 billion silver coins is for us at the Royal Bank of Communications. ”

The Royal Bank of Communications, controlled by Paoke's family, is also one of the six large banks in the Golden Lion Empire, and Paoke is the current patriarch of this family.

In addition to the Royal Bank of Communications, Paoke's family also controls about 60% of the railway lines of the Golden Lion Empire, and is also one of the top consortia in the Golden Lion Empire.

In fact, the consortium that is qualified to participate in this secret meeting today belongs to the top consortium of the Golden Lion Empire and has a huge influence in the Golden Lion Empire.

Since Emperor Cosno succeeded to the throne, he has been constantly attacking various consortia of the Golden Lion Empire through different means, but these top consortia of the Golden Lion Empire, Emperor Cosno has always had no good way to deal with them.

These top consortia, in the military and political circles of the Golden Lion Empire, can be described as intertwined, once Emperor Kosno's methods are too radical, these top consortia even have the ability to abolish the emperor Kosno, and support a new emperor.

Therefore, Emperor Kosno has never dared to go too far with these top consortia, of course, Emperor Cosno has not given up suppressing these top consortia for so many years, so that the relationship between these top consortia and Emperor Cosno can be described as bad.

In this war with the Han and Tang Empires, these top consortia were willing to support Emperor Kosno, more for the sake of their own interests.

For example, Paock's family controls about 60% of the railway lines of the Golden Lion Empire, most of which are in the New World.

If the Golden Lion Empire is driven out of the New World, the impact on Paouk's family can be imagined.

Onut then shook his head slightly, "Everyone, the strength of the Han and Tang Empires is much stronger than we estimated.

This war with the Han and Tang Empires, not only did our Golden Lion Empire gamble on the national fortune, but our major consortia also gambled on most of their worth.

So we don't do enough for the major consortia, and we can't do our best.

I suggest that our major consortia should cooperate with all departments of the Imperial Government in all aspects to completely transform our Golden Lion Empire into a wartime economic system. ”

Then an old leonin said: "I agree with Onut's proposal, in this war, not only the empire has no way to retreat, but also our major consortia have no way to retreat. ”

This somewhat old leonin is named Luo Weihuo, and his family controls more than seventy percent of the military enterprises of the Golden Lion Empire.

At present, there are a total of 4 aircraft factories in the Golden Lion Empire that can produce fourth-generation fighters, all of which belong to Rovijo's family.

Paok asked at this time: "Uncle Roviho, I heard that in the defense line of the Gyada Mountains of the Black Bear Empire, even if the Royal Air Force of our Empire also supports it, it still cannot compete with the Air Force of the Han and Tang Empires, is this true?" ”

Luo Weihuo said helplessly: "Although the fourth-generation fighters of our Golden Lion Empire are not weaker than several fourth-generation fighters of the Han and Tang Empires in terms of performance in all aspects.

But the number of fourth-generation fighters equipped with the Han and Tang Imperial Air Force is too amazing.

In the defense line of the Geyada Mountains of the Black Bear Empire, in the face of the numerical superiority of the Han and Tang Empire's air forces, the losses of our Golden Lion Empire's Royal Air Force were very large. ”

After a pause, Rovijo continued: "I came here this time in the hope that I can get the support of major consortia so that the four aircraft factories that can produce fourth-generation fighters can further expand their production capacity.

If we can't have enough fourth-generation fighters, we can't compete with the air force of the Han and Tang Empires. ”

"Uncle Rovijo, what support do you need? Funds? ”

"Since the empire borrowed 100 billion silver coins from the six major banks for military spending, there is no shortage of funds for 4 aircraft factories that can produce fourth-generation fighters.

What is lacking is technicians and skilled workers, otherwise even if a new production line is added, it will not be able to get it running. ”

Immediately, one of the people stood up and said: "Uncle Roviho, the technicians and skilled workers of the three civil aircraft factories in our family can all support those four aircraft factories that can produce fourth-generation fighters.

If needed, our family can also send a group of technicians and workers from the factories that produce automobiles to urgently train in this area. ”
