"Boom-boom-"

A Mad Lion-class super battleship of the Golden Lion Empire, after being hit by multiple aerial bombs, torpedoes and multiple large-caliber shells in a row, was finally blown into two in a violent series of explosions, and quickly sank to the sea.

Even if many lion officers and soldiers jumped into the sea to escape, they were sucked into the bottom of the sea because of the whirlpool created by the rapid sinking of the ship.

At this time, it was already 4 o'clock in the afternoon of July 5, 1557, that is to say, the great battle between the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires and the combined fleet of the navies of the Nine Nations had been going on for two days and two nights.

In the bridge of the Golden Lion Empire's Wild Lion Super Battleship, the captain of the Wild Lion, Casterdeen, looked at the wind and waves that were getting bigger and bigger, and hesitated for a moment and said to the Golden Lion Empire's Admiral Mitnia: "Marshal, the typhoon is coming, and the carrier-based aircraft are now unable to take off, and the jet fighters at the field airfields near the port of Zatvina cannot take off into the air.

Why don't you take advantage of the arrival of the typhoon and retreat to the port of Zatvina! ”

After two days and nights of fierce fighting, the losses on the side of the combined fleet of the nine navies were so great that they could be described as shocking.

For example, more than half of the Wild Lion-class super battleships with the strongest defense of the Golden Lion Imperial Navy have been sunk, and even the flagship of the Golden Lion Imperial Navy, the Crazy Lion, has been seriously damaged, and the five triple 45 caliber 480 mm main guns equipped with it are now only 3 that can still fire normally.

Mitnia actually knew very well that it was impossible to completely defeat the main naval force of the Han and Tang Empires.

After two days and two nights of fierce fighting, two-thirds of the capital ships of the combined fleet of the nine navies had sunk or withdrawn from the battle.

However, the loss of the capital ships of the Han and Tang Empire navies was less than that of the combined fleet of the nine navies, and at present, the navy of the Han and Tang Empires had occupied a considerable advantage in the number of capital ships.

The reason why the joint fleet of the nine navies can still hold on is that the jet fighters of the Air Force of the Golden Lion Empire, the Air Force of the Red Tiger Empire, and the air forces of the three elven nations have been converging on various field airfields near the port of Zatvina to assist the joint fleet of the nine navies in operations.

However, up to now, the air forces of the Golden Lion Empire, the Red Tiger Empire, and the three elven countries have lost more than 10,000 jet fighters and more than 5,000 jet bombers.

Because they still have to deal with the attack of the Han and Tang Empire Army, it is impossible for the jet fighters of the Golden Lion Empire, the Red Tiger Empire and the three elven countries to gather on the side of Zarvina Port, so the field airfields near Zarvina Port can only provide the support of less than 2,500 jet fighters and more than 1,200 jet bombers for the combined fleet of the nine navies.

The General Headquarters of the Nine-Nation Alliance has clearly told Mitenia that it is impossible to mobilize more jet fighters to support the Combined Fleet of the Nine-Nation Navy.

In this way, if this naval battle continues, it will only be the combined fleet of the nine navies that will be defeated.

But just retreating like this, the Golden Lion Empire's Navy Minister Micteria was really a little unwilling.

The captain of the Wild Lion, Cassedern, saw that Mitenia was a little entangled, and then said: "Marshal, Marshal Bolenka of the Nature Elf Empire, Marshal Peterje of the Light Elf Empire, and Marshal Prot of the Dark Elf Empire, have just sent a telegram jointly, requesting to withdraw to the port of Zatvina and avoid the typhoon. ”

As soon as Cateldern's words fell, a lion officer from inside the bridge ran over with a telegram, "Marshal, captain, the navy of the Han and Tang Empires has retreated!" ”

In the bridge of the aircraft carrier Island, Prince Zhou Jun said with some reluctance: "This typhoon is too inopportune.

If we are given one more day, we will definitely be able to completely defeat the combined fleet of the nine-nation navy. ”

Wang Hongchun, the commander of the First Fleet, whose eyes were bloodshot, said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, although we have not completely defeated the combined fleet of the Nine Nations Navy, after two days and two nights of fighting, our Royal Navy has also inflicted heavy damage on the Combined Fleet of the Nine Nations Navy. ”

Since the start of the war, Wang Hongchun has not rested, commanding the fierce battle between the 12 main fleets of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires and the combined fleet of the nine navies.

Prince Zhou Jun sighed and said, "The Royal Navy has paid such a big price, but unfortunately it has not been completed. ”

Wang Hongchun's face suddenly became a little gloomy, "The price is indeed too great." ”

Because of the appearance of the typhoon, the 12 main fleets of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires had to choose to withdraw from the battlefield, and the combined fleet of the nine navies also hurriedly retreated to the port of Zatvina.

At the same time, Zhou Rui, who was far away in Tiansheng City, also 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, and Zhou Rui's points in the lottery system became 260/800.

After the four-star lottery card was used by Zhou Rui, there was nothing to surprise Zhou Rui, including 12 German H44 super battleships, 12 German H43 super battleships and 12 German O-class battlecruisers.

Zhou Rui now most hopes that a second-generation fighter equipped with air-to-air missiles can be driven from the lottery system.

At present, the Han and Tang Empires have not made much progress in the development of missiles, especially the guidance devices for missiles.

If the physical object can be used for reference, perhaps the scientific research department of the Han and Tang Empires can cross that threshold.

In the palace of Norya City, the first capital of the Golden Lion Empire, Prime Minister Salento said to Emperor Kosno in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, because of the typhoon, the navy of the Han and Tang Empires has left the battlefield.

The combined fleet of the Nine Navies, under the leadership of Marshal Mitnia, also returned to the port of Zatvina, and even returned to the port of Vikët on this side of the Spirit World through a different time and space node to avoid this typhoon. ”

After a pause, Prime Minister Salento continued: "The losses of the combined fleet of the nine navies, including the losses of our Golden Lion Empire, have been counted.

In this naval battle, the Royal Navy of the Golden Lion Empire sank a total of 157 aircraft carriers, 160 battleships, 79 battle cruisers, 85 escort carriers, 223 large armored cruisers, 247 light cruisers, 306 destroyers and 58 submarines, and more than a million officers and men were killed and missing.

At present, there are only 77 aircraft carriers, 108 battleships and 33 battle cruisers left in the capital ships of our Royal Navy of the Golden Lion Empire. ”

Emperor Kosno had long known that the navy of the Golden Lion Empire had suffered great losses in this fierce battle, but when he heard the specific loss data, he still felt that his heart was dripping blood.

You must know that in order to build this navy, the Golden Lion Empire has endured very great financial pressure, which has made the Golden Lion Empire heavily indebted.

As a result, this battle caused the entire Golden Lion Empire Navy to lose more than half of its warships, and what is even more uncomfortable is that it has not completely defeated the main force of the Han and Tang Empire Navy.

"And how much did the navies of the other eight countries lose?" Emperor Kosno asked in a hoarse voice.

"Your Majesty, this is the loss data of the other five Spirit Race countries and the three Spirit Race countries." Prime Minister Salento handed Emperor Kosno several pieces of paper with both hands, on which the losses of the navies of the other eight countries were recorded.

The Red Tiger Imperial Navy sent 120 aircraft carriers, 306 battleships, 162 battle cruisers and 180 escort carriers this time, and now only 42 aircraft carriers, 125 battleships, 52 battle cruisers and 36 escort carriers remain.

The Red Tiger Empire's navy, except for the capital ships, also lost most of its warships, and even surpassed the Golden Lion Empire's navy in terms of the number of sunken warships.

The number of dead and missing officers and soldiers in the Red Tiger Empire's navy also exceeded one million.

The Black Bear Empire's navy sent 96 aircraft carriers, 138 battleships and 68 battlecruisers this time, and after the war, only 12 aircraft carriers, 28 battleships and 19 battlecruisers remained, and the proportion of losses far exceeded that of the Golden Lion Empire and the Red Tiger Empire's navy.

More than two-thirds of the other types of warships in the Black Bear Imperial Navy were sunk.

The last 12 remaining aircraft carriers of the Black Bear Imperial Navy were all seriously injured and retreated to Vikëëg Harbor to survive.

The reason why the aircraft carriers of the Black Bear Imperial Navy suffered such a large loss is also related to the jet carrier-based fighters equipped with the Black Bear Imperial aircraft carriers, which only belong to the first generation of fighters.

Although the jet carrier-based fighters of the Golden Lion Empire, the Red Tiger Empire, and the three elven countries will provide air support to the navies of the other four countries, when the fierce battle is fierce, the jet carrier-based fighters of the five countries, and even the jet fighters supported by the air forces of the five countries, will still take care of their own naval fleets first.

Similar to the navy of the Black Bear Empire, there are also navies of the Silver Wolf Empire, the Flying Leopard Empire, and the Wild Bull Empire.

The Silver Wolf Imperial Navy sent 40 aircraft carriers, 86 battleships, and 38 battle cruisers to the battle this time, and now only 6 aircraft carriers, 19 battleships, and 8 battle cruisers remain.

The Flying Leopard Imperial Navy sent 36 aircraft carriers, 73 battleships, and 30 battle cruisers into the battle this time, and now only 5 aircraft carriers, 13 battleships, and 6 battle cruisers remain.

The Wild Bull Imperial Navy sent 48 aircraft carriers, 65 battleships, and 32 battlecruisers to the battle this time, and now only 7 aircraft carriers, 10 battleships, and 8 battlecruisers remain.

In addition, the large armored cruisers, light cruisers, destroyers, and submarines of the three navies of the Silver Wolf, Flying Leopard, and Brute Bull were also sunk by more than two-thirds respectively.

If the Golden Lion Empire Navy and the Red Tiger Empire Navy are considered to be broken, then the navies of the Black Bear, Silver Wolf, Flying Leopard, and Wild Bull are equivalent to almost losing all their old capital.

Emperor Kosno flipped through the data on the losses of the navies of the three elven countries, and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly.

The Nature Elf Imperial Navy sent a total of 240 aircraft carriers, 183 battleships, 160 battle cruisers and 240 escort carriers to participate in the battle this time, leaving 122 aircraft carriers, 89 battleships, 76 battle cruisers and 86 escort carriers after the war.

The Bright Elf Imperial Navy sent a total of 160 aircraft carriers, 112 battleships, 100 battle cruisers and 160 escort aircraft carriers to participate in the battle this time, and 78 aircraft carriers, 55 battleships, 37 battle cruisers and 46 escort carriers remained after the war.

The Dark Elf Imperial Navy sent a total of 140 aircraft carriers, 89 battleships, 80 battle cruisers and 140 escort carriers to participate in the battle this time, leaving 69 aircraft carriers, 37 battleships, 26 battle cruisers and 37 escort carriers after the war.

The other three elven countries also lost about half of their warships of other types in their navies.

Before the official formation of the combined fleet of the Nine Nations Navy, Emperor Kosno had once consulted with the Minister of the Navy, Mutnia.

According to Emperor Kosno's estimate, after the establishment of the Combined Fleet of the Nine Navies, Mutnia will definitely be elected as the commander-in-chief of the Combined Fleet of the Nine Navies.

So Emperor Kosno instructed Mitney to properly let the navies of the three elven countries undertake more difficult tasks when the decisive battle with the navy of the Han and Tang Empires began.

Although the Golden Lion Empire and the three elven countries have all joined the military alliance of the nine countries and are already allies, the Golden Lion Empire has always been wary of these three elven countries.

However, compared to the losses of the Golden Lion Empire's navy, the losses of the navies of the three elven nations in this naval battle were a little smaller.

Emperor Cosno put down a few pieces of paper in his hand, and then said to Prime Minister Salento: "Immediately let all the newspapers of the empire publicize the news of the victory of the combined fleet of the nine navies over the main naval force of the Han and Tang Empires."

In addition, I will communicate with the other five spirit countries and the three spirit countries about this matter, compress the losses of the combined fleet of the nine navies, and exaggerate the losses of the navy of the Han and Tang Empires. ”

In the palace of the Emerald City, the capital of the Nature Elf Empire, the Elven Empress Brianna put down the casualty report of the combined fleet of the nine navies in her hand, and then said to Prime Minister Prono in a deep voice: "After this decisive battle at sea, the navy of our Nature Elf Empire has lost at least half of its strength.

The construction of 120 Spirit-class aircraft carriers must be accelerated, and the construction of another 100 Unicorn-class escort aircraft carriers must also be completed as soon as possible to support Marshal Bolenka. ”

The Wind Spirit class aircraft carrier is an improved version of the Water Spirit class aircraft carrier, with a full load displacement of 66,000 tons, which can carry 84 jet carrier-based aircraft, and the Nature Spirit Empire is currently building a full 120 Wind Spirit class aircraft carriers in one go.

The accumulation of more than 400 years of the Natural Elf Empire has made the Natural Elf Empire not short of funds, which is also an important reason why the Golden Lion Empire has always been wary of the three elven countries.

You must know that due to the problem of funds, the Golden Lion Empire has never built a new capital ship after the third batch of 50 Poison Lotus-class aircraft carriers and 80 Mad Lion-class super battleships have been completed.

The Unicorn-class escort aircraft carrier was transformed by the Natural Elf Empire from a large transport ship of uniform specifications, with a full load displacement of 32,000 tons and can carry 32 jet carrier-based aircraft.
