When the navy of the Red Tiger Empire and the navy of the Golden Lion Empire retreated, due to the fierce battle between the two sides, the sea was already full of smoke, causing the pursuit of the southwest coastal defense fleet to become very chaotic.

Even in the course of the pursuit, there was a collision of warships in the Southwestern Coastal Defense Fleet.

And the navy of the Red Tiger Empire, the navy of the Golden Lion Empire, and even the navy of the Silver Wolf Empire, which was the first to retreat, were also a little chaotic when they retreated.

To make matters worse, at about 3 p.m. on June 1, fog suddenly rose over the sea, which made the pursuing sides even more confused.

Seeing this situation, Song Limin, commander-in-chief of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet, had no choice but to order all formations to stop the pursuit.

The Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet stopped pursuing, but the retreating naval fleets of the three orc nations did not know that the enemy was not pursuing.

As a result, under the dense fog, many warships of the three beast countries had fierce artillery battles due to misunderstandings, and many warships were sunk or seriously injured by friendly forces.

It wasn't until more than 10 o'clock in the evening of June 1 that the naval fleets of the three beast countries discovered that the southwest coastal defense fleet of the Han and Tang Empires had long since stopped chasing, and the melee that had taken place in the previous hours was between the warships of their three countries.

On the bridge of the Red Tiger Empire's expeditionary fleet, the flagship of the Provocateur, Captain Blaise said to Jestu in frustration: "Commander, many of our warships may have been sunk by the Leonin. ”

The commander of the Second Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Red Tiger Empire, Jestu, said in an eerie tone: "It is deliberate to get those lion people, just like when we were besieged by the southwest coastal defense fleet of the Han and Tang Empires, those lion people did not save them.

It seems that not only does our Red Tiger Empire hope to weaken the strength of the Golden Lion Empire's navy with the help of the Han and Tang Empire's Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet, but the Golden Lion Empire should also have the same idea. ”

"Commander, what do we do next?"

"This question is no longer up for us to decide, let's meet up with the Royal Army's transport fleet first and wait for news from home!"

In a palace in the imperial palace of Dawning City, the capital of the Red Tiger Empire, Emperor Gruyan took the telegram sent by Jestu, shook his head helplessly and said to the Minister of the Navy, Svia: "I didn't expect the combined fleet of the three spirit countries to be in a mess.

What do you think should happen next? ”

Admiral Svia hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, although the strength of the expeditionary fleet of our Red Tiger Empire's Royal Navy is still there, it can be seen through this naval battle that there is no trust between the expeditionary forces of our three spirit countries.

The so-called Three-Power Joint Expeditionary Force is just a false name.

Even if the naval fleets of our three spirit nations are reorganized, I am afraid that it will still be difficult to win in the face of the southwest coastal defense fleet of the Han and Tang Empires.

Moreover, with the strength of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet of the Han and Tang Empires, it is no longer easy to destroy. ”

Emperor Gruyan frowned slightly, "Svia, could it be that you mean to give up the interests of our Red Tiger Empire on the western coast of the Han and Tang Empires?" ”

Admiral Svia nodded, "Your Majesty, since the effort far outweighs the gain, why not give it up?" ”

"How to give it up?"

"Your Majesty, the biggest conflict of interest between our Red Tiger Empire and the Zhou family of the Han and Tang Empires may be Fengsha Island.

I think we can give up Fengsha Island and avoid direct conflict with the Zhou family of the Han and Tang Empires, after all, the biggest threat to our Red Tiger Empire is not those human countries in the New World, but several other spirit countries. ”

The mighty expedition of the three beast nations of the Golden Lion, the Red Tiger, and the Silver Wolf ended after a naval battle on Black Coral Island.

In this naval battle, the losses of the navies of the three beast countries were not small, and the capital ships of the three navies lost a total of 75 ships, but a large part of them were accidentally injured between the navies of the three beast countries.

After the naval fleets of the three orc nations converged with the transport fleet carrying the army, the expeditionary force of the Red Tiger Empire left first, followed by the expeditionary force of the Silver Wolf Empire, and after receiving instructions from the country, they also began to return.

Kuzir, the commander of the First Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Golden Lion Empire, held the retreat order sent by the Governor of the Golden Lion Empire, Kosno, and said to the commander of the Fifth Fleet, Maft, with some emotion: "This time I didn't destroy the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet of the Han and Tang Empires, and it may be even more difficult to destroy this human fleet in the future." ”

Maft sighed and said, "The alliance of our three Spirit Nation is too fragile, and it is not even as good as one Spirit Nation sending troops. ”

"With the strength of the Zhou family behind the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet of the Han and Tang Empires, unless greater interests are involved, there should be no spirit nation willing to provoke that Zhou family again."

Zhou Rui also felt a little unbelievable that he easily won the Battle of Black Coral Island, after all, the strength of the combined fleet of the three navies of the Golden Lion, Red Tiger, and Silver Wolf was much more than that of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet.

Zhou Rui had even prepared how to resist the invading armies of the Three Kingdoms with his army after the defeat of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet.

As soon as the Battle of Black Coral Island ended, Zhou Rui once again received a prompt from the lottery system, congratulating him on completing the hidden task of "winning the largest naval battle" again, and rewarded Zhou Rui with a four-star lottery card and 40 points.

This four-star lottery card and a three-star lottery card given by the lottery system in June have issued a total of more than a dozen prizes, most of which are weapons and equipment of the army, and they have all been issued before.

Only two awards were for warships, which were 6 U.S. Tennessee-class battleships and 6 Toeikuni Ise-class battleships.

In the Battle of Black Coral Island, the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet lost a total of 5 battleships with full main guns, 2 battle cruisers, 6 all-steel battleships, 2 large armored cruisers, 2 light cruisers, 4 destroyers and 1 submarine.

The lost submarine was the Ghost II, which was sunk by a depth charge equipped with the Silver Wolf Empire's navy.

Although the Ghost 1 submarine survived in the end, it did not achieve such a brilliant result as the Second Battle of Gaoluo Island.

What made Zhou Rui even happier was that the expeditionary forces of the Golden Lion, Red Tiger, and Silver Wolf were directly disintegrated after the Battle of Black Coral Island, and the three beast countries also quickly sent people to Ganyang City, hoping to negotiate peace with the Zhou family.

Zhou Rui and the Silver Wolf Empire were the first to sign a peace treaty, and the Silver Wolf Empire officially recognized the return of Pusha Island to the Han and Tang Empires, and Zhou Rui also agreed to unconditionally release all the wolf clan officers and soldiers captured in several naval battles and the Battle of Pusha Island.

The next negotiations with the Golden Lion Empire and the Red Tiger Empire did not go so smoothly, and these two beast countries wanted to get back the benefits that were not achieved by the war through the negotiation table.

Of course, Zhou Rui will not get used to these two beast countries, and if he is not convinced, we will continue to fight!

In the end, Zhou Rui forced the Golden Lion Empire to cede Gaoluo Island, and symbolically compensated 10 million silver coins, while Zhou Rui unconditionally released tens of thousands of captured officers and soldiers of the Golden Lion Empire.

The Red Tiger Empire finally agreed to hand over Fengsha Island to the Zhou family in its entirety, in exchange for the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet to let the Red Tiger Emperor's ** team on Fengsha Island evacuate safely.

Although the Royal Navy of the Red Tiger Empire still has two main fleets on Yumen Island, even the combined fleet of the navies of the three countries has suffered defeat, and the Fifth Fleet and the Sixth Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Red Tiger Empire on Yumen Island dare to leave Yumen Island.

Therefore, the Red Tiger Emperor ** team on Fengsha Island has become a lone army, even if Zhou Rui does not send the army to land, only relying on the siege of the southwest coastal defense fleet, these Red Tiger Emperor ** team on Fengsha Island can be trapped to death.

After signing peace treaties with the three orc nations of Golden Lion, Red Tiger, and Silver Wolf, the war mobilization in Fengwu Town, Zhenwei Town, and Jinnan Town was finally lifted.

However, due to the addition of Jindong Town and Jinxi Town just now, the army units under Zhou Rui carried out a major reorganization, and set up the Jindong Army and the Jinxi Army in the territory of Jindong Town and Jinxi Town respectively, which can also be called the Jindong Front Army and the Jinxi Front Army.

And the five front armies of the five feudal towns under Zhou Rui have made some adjustments in their establishment.

Each front army will be reorganized into 15 infantry divisions, each of which will have three infantry brigades, one baggage brigade, one heavy artillery brigade and one guard regiment, with a total strength of about 40,000 troops.

In addition, a number of garrison regiments were set up in each feudal town, each with a strength of about 2,000 men, to maintain law and order in various places and to eliminate the fierce beasts that appeared in each area.

The garrison regiment has set up a total of 300 garrisons in the territory of the five feudal towns, plus the five front armies of Fengwu, Zhenwei, Jindong, Jinnan, and Jinxi, and the total strength of the Zhou army under Zhou Rui will remain above 3.6 million.

In addition, there are tens of millions of army reservists in the five feudal towns, who will participate in military training all year round.

Once the war requires, the Zhou army can quickly expand the army force to the scale of tens of millions.

Of course, to feed such a large army force, coupled with the staggering size of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet, the monthly military expenditure is an astronomical amount.

Fortunately, Zhou Rui's head has always been labeled as wealthy, even if it is a naval and land army of this size, Zhou Rui can afford it.

In a palace in the imperial palace of Tiansheng City, the capital of the Han and Tang Empires, Zhao Rongguang, the governor of the forbidden army, said to Emperor Ouyang Hui with a respectful face: "Your Majesty, now the Zhou family has signed an armistice treaty with the three beast countries.

And from the hands of the Red Tiger Empire, Fengsha Island was recovered, and from the hands of the Golden Lion Empire, Gaosnail Island was recovered, and the Silver Wolf Empire also officially recognized the return of Pusha Island to our Han and Tang Empires. ”

Zhao Rongguang now dares to enter the palace openly, and the last armed force in the hands of the royal family, more than 1,000 people in the palace internal guards, has also been incorporated by Zhao Rongguang through some means.

It can be said that the entire Heavenly Saint City and even the four Acropolis are already under the control of Zhao Rongguang, even if Zhao Rongguang wants to usurp the throne, there is no one in the Heavenly Saint City to stop him.

However, once Zhao Rongguang really usurped the throne, the envoys of the Han and Tang Empires would definitely not agree.

Why can you Zhao Rongguang be the emperor?

Now among these festival envoys of the Han and Tang Empires, who doesn't want to be the emperor!

Even Zhou Rui has such a mind in his heart.

Emperor Ouyang Hui said in a cold voice: "I already know about this matter.

If there is nothing else to do, Governor Zhao can retreat, and I am a little tired today. ”

Emperor Ouyang Hui couldn't wait to swallow Zhao Rongguang alive, you must know that Emperor Ouyang Hui has been preparing for many years to take back the military power of the forbidden army.

As a result, in the end, the military power of the forbidden army was robbed by Zhao Rongguangsheng.

Now even the city defense forces responsible for the security of Tiansheng City, as well as the internal security forces responsible for the security of the palace, have been controlled by Zhao Rongguang, and his own emperor has now become really in name only.

Even his own inner palace was firmly controlled by Zhao Rongguang's daughter, the new queen Zhao Xiuyao.

"Your Majesty, now the Zhou family controls Fengwu Town and Zhenwei Town, and controls the three provinces of the Bajin Empire, and its strength has surpassed that of all feudal towns.

If this continues, the minister is worried that the strength of the Zhou family is getting stronger and stronger, which will affect the imperial court's plan to solve the problem of the feudal town. ”

Emperor Ouyang Hui sneered, "Could it be that Governor Zhao is preparing to send troops to attack the Zhou family?" ”

"Your Majesty laughed, with the current strength of the imperial court, it is impossible to compete with the Zhou family at all, and the minister is preparing to start the plan to annex Pushan Town."

Pushan Town is located in the east of Tiansheng City and belongs to one of the six northeastern towns of the Han and Tang Empires.

Emperor Ouyang Hui couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, "The plan to annex Pushan Town?

What is the plan? Why didn't I know there was such a plan? ”

"Your Majesty, this is a plan arranged by the minister using the power of the embroidery table.

Now the embroidery table has bought many generals from all sides of Pushan Town, as long as it is properly coordinated, with the 12 infantry divisions of the current forbidden army, it is enough to take most of Pushan Town, and even the entire Pushan Town. ”

Emperor Ouyang Hui secretly cursed in his heart, he really took me, the emperor, as just an ornament.

Such a big thing, the emperor himself only knows about it now.

"If Governor Zhao thinks the time is ripe, decide for yourself!

I'm really tired today, does Governor Zhao have anything else to do? ”

"The minister obeyed the order, please take care of the dragon's body, the minister retired first."

Zhao Rongguang left this palace, but did not leave the palace immediately, but came to another palace where the new empress Zhao Xiuyao lived.

"Father, why do you have time to come over today?"

"As far as I know, the emperor and you don't live together yet?"

The new empress Zhao Xiuyao, that is, Zhao Yan, shrugged her shoulders and said, "That emperor can't come by himself, my daughter can't send someone to forcibly tie him up!" ”

Zhao Rongguang frowned, "You still have to think of a way, only if you give birth to a prince, it is good for your father to implement some plans and push my grandson to the crown prince." ”

Zhao Yan said helplessly: "Father, the emperor should be very disgusted with me, after I entered the palace, I only saw the emperor once, and I didn't even say a word." ”
