This internal power struggle in the Star-Moon Alliance finally ended with the Duke of Pankra stepping down as the head of the Guards, and the former head of the Silvermoon Royal Knights, Zerdecolano, was appointed by King Yagshan as the new leader of the Guards.

Because the Duke of Pankla accepted the conditions offered by King Yagshan, it also saved Starmoon City from a military disaster.

It's just that the eldest princess who has the greatest credit, Dai Bona, Rod Philly, not only did not get any benefits, but also lost her countdom.

In the palace of Starmoon City, King Agshan comforted Princess Deberna: "Father, I hope you can understand this, after all, there are elders, and those old stubborns will not agree to bring your county as a dowry to the Davides family. ”

Princess Dai Bona smiled slightly, "Father doesn't need to mind, I wanted this territory in the first place, just to form a private army to help my father guard against Uncle Pankla."

Now that Uncle Pankla has surrendered the Legion of the Guard, that county has become dispensable to me. ”

King Yagersan then coughed violently a few times before he sighed and said, "Dai Bona, I have wronged you, and I am waiting for you to marry......"

Before King Yagersan could finish his words, he was interrupted by Princess Dai Berna, "Father, I don't want to marry so early.

What's more, I can also help my father and younger brother, deter some people with ill intentions, and make Uncle Pankla have some scruples. ”

"But you're twenty-three this year, and Duke Davideus wants you to marry sooner rather than later."

"Let's talk about it in two years! Father, how have you been doing these days? ”

"Alas, it's better for you to stay in Star-Moon City, maybe ...... Your brother's scene has to rely on your help to support him. ”

Because the army of the Han and Tang Empires did King Yageshan a great favor this time, so at the suggestion of Princess Dai Bona, King Yageshan used the gold from the treasury to not only buy millions of catties of steel from the Han and Tang Empires, but also exchange a large amount of silver.

The Han and Tang Empires also relied on this country-level transaction to pull back more than 200,000 tons of gold from the magic world at once, making the treasury of the Han and Tang Empires more abundant.

Looking at the carts of gold being pulled into the treasury of the Heavenly Saint City, Zhou Rui's thoughts had already flown thousands of miles away.

At this time, it was already February 16, 1551, and according to the plan made before, two days later, the landing force of the Han and Tang Empires would start a beach-grabbing landing on the beach near the port of Diethan of the Red Tiger Empire.

The Port of Dietham is located in the Via province of the Red Tiger Empire and is the second largest port in the Via province.

Originally, the landing force of the Han and Tang Empires chose a total of four landing sites, each of which had its own advantages and disadvantages, and the disadvantage of Dietham Harbor was that the defense of the coalition forces here was very strong.

However, the beaches around Dietham Harbor have open terrain, which allows several group armies to land at the same time, and once Dietham Harbor can be captured, it can allow follow-up troops and various war materials to quickly land through Dietham Harbor.

Guan Guoren, the commander-in-chief of the final landing force, and Song Limin, the commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires, discussed and selected the beaches around Dietham Harbor as the landing site.

The landing force composed of 14 million Royal Army of the Han and Tang Empires, plus a large number of weapons and equipment and various war materials, allowed the Han and Tang Empires to mobilize a total of more than 7,000 ocean-going cargo ships and more than 1,000 ocean-going passenger ships for this purpose.

In addition, the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires dispatched thousands of warships to help escort the ship, including 100 Bird's Nest-class aircraft carriers, 36 Xianghe-class aircraft carriers, 42 Essex-class aircraft carriers, 38 Midway-class aircraft carriers, and 158 escort aircraft carriers.

It is impossible not to know such a big movement by the military alliance of the nine countries, even if the combined fleet of the nine navies is defeated by the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires, there are still some warships of the coalition forces in the sea between the eastern continent and the western continent, especially the submarines of the coalition forces.

In a palace in the Imperial Palace in Dawning City, the capital of the Red Tiger Empire, Emperor Gruyan asked the new Prime Minister Kudp in a deep voice: "How did the Golden Lion Empire, the Black Bear Empire, the Silver Wolf Empire, the Flying Leopard Empire, and the Wild Bull Empire reply?" ”

Prime Minister Kudp said with a wry smile: "The Golden Lion Empire, the Black Bear Empire, the Silver Wolf Empire, and the Flying Leopard Empire are all deployed on the northern front with troops, and they have to guard against the armies of the Han and Tang Empires to land on the coast of their countries, and they have refused to send additional troops to the six provinces of our Red Tiger Empire in the New World.

The Barbarian Bull Empire, on the grounds that it needed to help the Silver Wolf Empire and guard against the landing of the Han and Tang Empire troops, also refused to send additional troops to the six provinces of our Red Tiger Empire in the New World. ”

When Emperor Gruyan heard this, he said angrily: "The army of the Han and Tang Empires has obviously chosen the landing location on the coast of our Red Tiger Empire, and they are still on guard!"

Obviously, he can't save himself when he sees death, and wants to use the hands of the Han and Tang Empires to weaken the strength of our Red Tiger Empire! ”

Prime Minister Kudp said worriedly: "Your Majesty, although there are 18 million army troops and more than 20,000 warplanes from the three elven countries to help, the minister is still worried that he will not be able to stop it.

After all, the landing location of the Han and Tang Empire troops has not been determined, but it is known that the landing army of the Han and Tang Empires has arrived at the coast of Via, and the entire Viaxing Province has a coastline of more than 2,000 kilometers. ”

Emperor Gruyan pondered for a moment and said, "From the Spirit World to the territory of Viaxing Province, send some additional army units, and speed up the implementation of the civilian evacuation plan. ”

After confirming through various intelligences that the Han and Tang Empires would definitely choose the coast of the Red Tiger Empire as the landing site, the Red Tiger Empire formulated a plan for the evacuation of civilians.

Began to transfer the tiger civilians and sheep civilians from the six provinces on the new world side to the beast world on a large scale.

Because the human beings in the Red Tiger Empire have basically immigrated to the Han and Tang Empires, the total population of the Red Tiger Empire has dropped to 210 million, of which the Beast World has about 130 million people, and the New World has about 80 million people, basically all of them are Tiger and Sheep people.

In order to cope with the landing of the Han and Tang Empire troops, the Red Tiger Empire has formed an army of more than 25 million with a population of 210 million, of which almost 20 million are deployed in the six provinces of the New World.

The reason why the Red Tiger Empire formulated this civilian evacuation plan was to prepare for the worst, that is, to abandon the six provinces of the Red Tiger Empire in the New World.

Although the Red Tiger Empire has very large interests in the six provinces of the New World, the Emperor of the Red Tiger Empire, Gruyan, is worried that even if the Red Tiger Empire pays an extremely heavy price and has the determination to burn jade, it will not be able to stop the army of the Han and Tang Empires.

Therefore, the emperor of the Red Tiger Empire, Gruyan, has actually left a way out for the Red Tiger Empire.

Prime Minister Kudpu nodded and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, the evacuation plan for civilians is going well, and a large amount of iron ore has been brought back from the New World. ”

Emperor Gruyan sighed and said, "If the Red Tiger Empire really loses the six provinces of the New World, it will be difficult to implement any naval revitalization plan. ”

The Admiralty of the Red Tiger Empire, after the defeat of the Combined Fleet of the Nine Nations Navy, formulated a plan for the revitalization of the Royal Navy of the Red Tiger Empire.

The core of this revitalization plan is the construction of 100 aircraft carriers with a full load displacement of more than 50,000 tons, and the construction of 50 full-gun battleships and battle cruisers with a full load displacement of more than 80,000 tons and 500 mm guns.

However, the six beast countries in the Spirit World do not have much iron ore in their territory, and if the Red Tiger Empire loses the six provinces of the New World, the Royal Navy of the Red Tiger Empire will increase the difficulty by several levels if they want to complete this revitalization plan.

Of course, the high-level of the Red Tiger Empire will not easily give up the 6 provinces of the New World, otherwise they will not deploy 20 million troops in the New World, and even Emperor Gruyan is ready to increase troops to the Via Province of the New World.

In the palace of Norya City, the first capital of the Golden Lion Empire, Emperor Kosno slowly put a piece of paper in his hand on the table, and then asked Prime Minister Salento in a deep voice: "Salento, do you think the Red Tiger Empire can hold it this time?" ”

Prime Minister Salento said with a wry smile: "If it is to block the landing of the Han and Tang Empire troops, I am afraid it is impossible, after all, the Han and Tang Empires control the sea and can use large-caliber naval guns to fire support the landing force." ”

"What about the Air Force? Can the Air Force suppress the navy of the Han and Tang Empires?

The Red Tiger Empire's air force is not weak, there are still 10,000 fighters, not to mention more than 20,000 fighters from the three elven countries. ”

"Your Majesty, the problem now is that the Red Tiger Empire can't figure out the specific landing location of the Han and Tang Empire's troops at all.

The air force of the Red Tiger Empire, as well as the air force of the three elven countries, could not gather all the fighters together to resist the landing force of the Han and Tang Empires. ”

Emperor Kosno sighed and said, "According to the information obtained by the intelligence department, the Red Tiger Empire is transferring the civilians of the new world to the Spirit World, and it seems that the Red Tiger Empire is ready to abandon the new world. ”

Prime Minister Salento hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I feel that our Golden Lion Empire also needs to make some preparations in advance. ”

Emperor Kosno frowned, "Ready?" I will never give up on the new world! ”

Prime Minister Salento hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister's meaning is to negotiate peace with the Han and Tang Empires and end this war.

Once the Red Tiger Empire can't hold on, there will be no need to continue this war. ”

Emperor Kosno said with some annoyance: "Originally, the two sides were still evenly matched, but I didn't expect that after a naval battle, our nine-nation military alliance would be at a disadvantage, and it was the kind of disadvantage that was difficult to turn around. ”

After a pause, Emperor Kosno asked, "Has the new aircraft carrier of the Admiralty been designed?" ”

In the decisive naval battle between the combined fleet of the nine navies and the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires, all 12 Stinger-class aircraft carriers of the Golden Lion Empire's navy were sunk.

However, in the major shipyards of the Golden Lion Empire, there are 24 Stinger-class aircraft carriers that are nearing completion, and another 60 Stinger-class aircraft carriers are almost half completed.

These two batches of Stinger-class aircraft carriers were later built by the Golden Lion Empire.

Seeing the role of aircraft carriers in naval warfare, coupled with the navy of the Golden Lion Empire, it suffered heavy losses in the decisive battle with the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires, so the Golden Lion Empire is ready to build an aircraft carrier with stronger comprehensive combat effectiveness.

Prime Minister Salento said: "The Admiralty has been designed with a full load displacement of 49,500 tons, a maximum speed of 28 knots, and a crew of 3,150 people.

It is armed with 36 90-mm caliber high-level guns, 60 40-mm anti-aircraft guns, and 68 18-mm anti-aircraft machine guns.

It can be equipped with 45 carrier-based fighters, 45 carrier-based torpedo aircraft and 45 carrier-based bombers, for a total of 135 carrier-based aircraft. ”

"How much will it cost?" Emperor Kosno asked a more concerned question.

"Including the 135 carrier-based aircraft equipped, the cost is about 35 million silver coins, and if it is built in large quantities, the cost can be compressed."

Emperor Kosno nodded, "I will also allocate some funds from the imperial treasury, and the Ministry of Finance will also squeeze out some more funds to build the ...... 50 new aircraft carriers! ”

Prime Minister Salento said with a wry smile: "The first batch of 20 billion silver dollars of war treasury bonds has basically been spent, and the Ministry of Finance may not be able to squeeze out too much money." ”

Emperor Kosno said in a deep voice: "Then immediately put the issue of the second batch of war treasury bonds on the agenda!"

No matter whether we continue to fight in the future, or negotiate peace with the Han and Tang Empires, we must prepare enough funds in our hands. ”

"Your Majesty, how much will the second batch of war treasury bonds be issued?"

"Another 20 billion silver coins will be issued at the same interest rate as the first batch of war bonds."

Prime Minister Salento hesitated for a moment and asked, "Your Majesty, originally we issued war treasury bonds with the intention of using the war dividends obtained to repay them after defeating the Han and Tang Empires.

But in the current situation, I am afraid that it is impossible to defeat the Han and Tang Empires, and these two batches of 40 billion war debts may crush the empire's finances. ”

"What will happen in the future, we will study it in the future.

Now the most important thing for our Golden Lion Empire is to restore the strength of the Royal Navy.

By the way, I heard that the Han and Tang Empires are preparing to build a super battleship with a displacement of more than 100,000 tons? ”

"The Han and Tang Empires are indeed preparing to build a super battleship with a displacement of more than 100,000 tons, and this matter has made the front page headlines of newspapers around the Han and Tang Empires."

"Could it be a maze deliberately laid out by the Han and Tang Empires?"

"Your Majesty, the minister believes that even if aircraft carriers will become the protagonists of future naval battles, battleships will still have strong combat effectiveness for a long time to come, especially battleships with a displacement of more than 100,000 tons.

For example, in landing operations, battleships can provide powerful fire support for the landing force. ”

"It seems that our Golden Lion Empire also has to build some more powerful battleships."
