When the results of the Second Battle of Gaowo Island were announced, many people saw the battle report on this naval battle in the newspaper, and thought that it was not written in the newspaper by mistake.

The first naval battle of Gaoluo Island can be said to be a light enemy of the Golden Lion Empire, but this time, in order to eliminate the southwest coastal defense fleet of the Han and Tang Empires, the Golden Lion Empire deliberately dispatched a number of main fleets.

The capital ships alone gathered 99 battleships with full main guns, 5 battlecruisers and 82 all-steel battleships, but in the end, the Golden Lion Empire Expeditionary Fleet was still defeated by the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet of the Han and Tang Empires.

It is like a joke that a human naval fleet, and a naval fleet of a local power of the Han and Tang Empires, can defeat the expeditionary fleet composed of many main fleets of the Golden Lion Empire.

But the problem is, something like this does happen, and it's not a joke at all.

Moreover, the expeditionary fleet of the Golden Lion Empire was still a crushing defeat, and in the final retreat, there were 21 all-main gun battleships and 16 all-steel battleships, which became the trophies of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet.

In a palace in the Imperial Palace in Dawning City, the capital of the Red Tiger Empire, Emperor Gruyan asked the Admiral Svia in a deep voice, "Is there any exaggeration in the newspapers about the report of the Second Battle of Gaosnail Island?" ”

Admiral Minister Svia said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, according to the information obtained by the intelligence department, the loss of the Golden Lion Empire's expeditionary fleet is indeed as reported in the newspapers.

The capital ships alone were sunk, 15 battleships with full main guns, 1 battlecruiser and 18 all-steel battleships, and 21 battleships with all main guns and 16 all-steel battleships became the trophies of the southwest coastal defense fleet of the Han and Tang Empires, and other warships also suffered heavy losses. ”

Emperor Gruyan sneered and said, "The Golden Lion Empire is self-inflicted!"

If the Golden Lion Empire can unite our Red Tiger Empire and the Silver Wolf Empire to form a combined fleet of the three navies, why would there be a fiasco in the Second Battle of Gaoluo Island. ”

Admiral Svia hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet of the Han and Tang Empires did not suffer much losses in the Second Battle of Gaoluo Island, and in addition captured 37 battleships of the Golden Lion Empire Navy.

The minister felt that he should suspend the expeditionary fleet of the Silver Wolf Empire and pick up the cheap coastal defense fleet in the southwest of the Han and Tang Empires.

The current southwest coastal defense fleet of the Han and Tang Empires does not seem to have anything cheap to pick up. ”

Now the expeditionary force sent by the Red Tiger Empire has merged with the expeditionary force of the Silver Wolf Empire, and the expeditionary forces of the two countries are on their way to the western coast of the Han and Tang Empires.

"After the expeditionary forces of the two countries arrive on the western coast of the Han and Tang Empires, how many forces can the Royal Navy of our Red Tiger Empire and the Navy of the Silver Wolf Empire finally gather?"

"If we add the Fifth and Sixth Fleets of our Royal Navy, our Royal Navy can gather 66 all-main-gun battleships, 62 all-steel battleships, 68 large armored cruisers, 130 light cruisers, 122 destroyers and 82 torpedo boats.

Of course, if the battlefield of the naval battle was not near Yumen Island, then 82 torpedo boats would not be able to participate in the battle.

On the side of the Silver Wolf Imperial Navy, if you count the Third Fleet of the Silver Wolf Imperial Navy, you can gather 22 all-main gun battleships, 26 all-steel battleships, 32 large armored cruisers, 52 light cruisers, 56 destroyers and 48 torpedo boats. ”

Emperor Gruyan's brows furrowed slightly, "So, the combined strength of our two navies is a little worse than the expeditionary fleet of the Golden Lion Empire?" ”

"Your Majesty, according to the exact information, the expeditionary fleet of the Golden Lion Empire was attacked by two God-level dragons during the voyage, and the capital ship lost more than twenty ships.

Therefore, when the Second Battle of Gaoluo Island broke out between the Golden Lion Empire Expeditionary Fleet and the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet of the Han and Tang Empires, the strength was about the same as the strength that our two navies could gather. ”

Emperor Gruyan shook his head, "Pretty much not.

Send a report to the expeditionary force and let them go to Maotou Island for a temporary rest, if the Golden Lion Empire is not willing to form a joint fleet of the three navies, then it can only abandon this plan to divide Fengwu Town, Zhenwei Town and Jinnan Town of the Han and Tang Empires. ”

Maotou Island is a large island between the East and West Continents, with an area of more than 3,000 square kilometers, and is currently the territory of the Red Tiger Empire.

The naval base built on Cat's Head Island is also home to the Fourth Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Red Tiger Empire.

The Admiralty Svia agreed, "Your Majesty is wise.

If we only rely on the naval strength of our Red Tiger and Silver Wolf, even if we can defeat the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet of the Han and Tang Empires in the end, perhaps the casualties of our two navies themselves will be very staggering. ”

"Yes! Compared to the human fleet of the Han and Tang Empires, I was more worried about the navies of several other Spirit Race countries. ”

"Your Majesty, do you have to say hello to the Silver Wolf Empire in advance?"

"I really have to say hello to the Silver Wolf Empire, presumably the Silver Wolf Empire will not object."

The Silver Wolf Empire's suggestion to the Red Tiger Empire was, of course, in favor of it.

The strength of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet of the Han and Tang Empires in the Second Battle of Gaoluo Island frightened the Silver Wolf Empire.

As a result, the Red Tiger and Silver Wolf Expeditionary Forces, which had already left the Maotou Island Naval Base, returned to the Maotou Island Naval Base, and this expedition to Fengwu Town, Zhenwei Town and Jinnan Town of the Han and Tang Empires was pressed the pause button.

In the Governor's Mansion in Morning Star City, the second capital of the Golden Lion Empire, Governor Kosno slammed a stack of papers on the face of Admiralty Lieutenant Raff: "Is this still the Royal Navy of the Empire?"

Not to mention the victory or defeat, 21 all-main gun battleships and 16 all-steel battleships, as well as 3 large armored cruisers, 5 light cruisers and 4 destroyers, all raised the white flag to the human fleet!

Disgrace! This is a great shame for our Golden Lion Empire!

How can I explain this to His Majesty the Emperor? How to account to the hundreds of millions of people of the empire? ”

Admiralty Lieutenant Raff let the pile of paper fall on his face, not daring to dodge the slightest.

As the head of the Royal Navy of the Golden Lion Empire in New World, Raff must have an unshirkable responsibility for the fiasco of this expeditionary fleet.

Even if the formation of the expeditionary fleet was actually decided by Governor Kosno from beginning to end, Raff would have to bear this black cauldron.

You can't let the future heir to the throne, Governor Kosno, carry this black cauldron himself!

Seeing Raff's honest appearance, Governor Kosno's anger decreased a little, "What do you think should be done with the Commander of the Fourth Fleet, Nakola, the Commander of the Seventh Fleet, Mitro, and the Commander of the Eighth Fleet, Chevas?" ”

Raff hesitated for a moment and said, "The Governor, the Commander of the Second Fleet, Naniko, and the Commander of the Third Fleet, Molders, both sacrificed their lives for their country in naval battles.

If Nakola, Mitro, and Shevas are disposed of again, I am afraid that it will cause shocks in these fleets.

In addition, Nakola, Mitro, and Chevas have very close relations with some of the big chaebols in China, and I think it's better to be cautious.

Moreover, the situation of the naval battle at that time was indeed very unfavorable for the expeditionary fleet, and the retreat was also a last resort, but I did not expect that on the way to retreat, so many warships would surrender to the enemy.

This may have been something that Nakola, Mitro, and Chevas had not expected. ”

The Golden Lion Empire's economy is developed and has a close relationship with its domestic chaebols, large and small.

Many important industries in the Golden Lion Empire are controlled by some big chaebols, even including the military industry.

It is precisely because of this that some of the big chaebols of the Golden Lion Empire have a very large influence in the military and political affairs of the Golden Lion Empire, and this influence cannot be ignored even by the governor Kosno.

Governor Kosno snorted coldly, "Wait for those three bastards to come back, see how I clean them up!" ”

When Raff heard Governor Cosnoe say this, he knew that Governor Cosno had chosen to compromise on the matter of the three fleet commanders.

After all, Governor Kosno has not yet inherited the throne, and if those big chaebols are offended, those big chaebols will unite, and even His Majesty the Emperor can change the choice of the heir to the throne.

"Governor, the expeditionary fleet has now retreated to the Double-Headed Eagle Island Naval Base, what should we do next?"

"What do you suggest?"

"Governor, I feel that the formation of a combined fleet of the three navies can be put on the agenda.

According to the strength of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet of the Han and Tang Empires, even if our Royal Navy of the Golden Lion Empire gathers a larger fleet, it may not be able to completely defeat the other party.

It is better to combine the forces of the navies of the three countries, which can also reduce the losses of our Royal Navy of the Golden Lion Empire in naval battles. ”

Governor Kosno's face was a little unnatural, after all, he initially insisted on not conducting joint operations with the navies of the Red Tiger and Silver Wolf, hoping to rely on the power of the Golden Lion Empire's navy to independently eliminate the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet of the Han and Tang Empires.

It's a pity that in the end, it backfired, not only did not eliminate the negative impact of the last naval battle of Gaoluo Island on the Golden Lion Empire, but instead made the Golden Lion Empire taste another fiasco.

"Then contact the Red Tiger Empire and the Silver Wolf Empire, and see what their opinions are of the two Spirit Race countries?

If this human fleet of the Han and Tang Empires can be wiped out, it will also be of great benefit to the two spirit countries. ”

"Rest assured, the expeditionary forces of the Red Tiger Empire and the Silver Wolf Empire have already set off, most likely to pick up the bargain behind our expeditionary fleet.

Now that the strength of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet of the Han and Tang Empires has been exposed, the expeditionary forces of their two countries have no bargains to pick up.

If the two of them want to keep the interests of the western coast of the Han and Tang Empires, now they can only unite with our Golden Lion Empire, and with the strength gathered by the navies of the two countries, they should not be able to eat the southwest coastal defense fleet of the Han and Tang Empires. ”
