Of course, Zhou Rui also admires the beauty of Princess Dai Berna Rodfeli, and if Princess Dai Rodfeli can be included in the palace, Zhou Rui will definitely not refuse.

As soon as Niu Ben left, Zhou Xiaorong, the commander of the Fengwu Military Region, came to report to Zhou Rui that the army units preparing to land in the Red Tiger Empire had completed their assembly in many coastal cities.

According to the landing plan drawn up by Zhou Rui and several commanders of the Royal Army, a total of 40 group armies and 150 garrison divisions were transferred from the Fengwu Military Region, Luoshan Military Region, Jinzhong Military Region, Yunzhou Military Region, Wanzhou Military Region, Qiongzhou Military Region, Longnan Military Region, and Shuodong Military Region as landing troops.

The group army of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires has a strength of about 200,000, and the strength of the garrison division is about 40,000.

In order to transport the 14 million Royal Army, as well as a large number of weapons and equipment and various war materials, to the coast of the Red Tiger Empire, in addition to using thousands of warships of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires, Zhou Rui also ordered the collection of more than 7,000 ocean-going cargo ships and more than 1,000 ocean-going passenger ships.

The major shipyards of the Han and Tang Empires built a total of more than 20,000 landing craft of different types for the landing force for this landing.

"Second uncle, how are the preparations from the Royal Navy?" Zhou Rui asked in a deep voice.

This time in the landing of the Red Tiger Empire, the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires still has to play the leading role.

After the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires inflicted heavy damage on the combined fleet of the navies of the nine countries, there was no enemy at sea who could stop the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires.

According to the information obtained by the Royal Intelligence Bureau of the Han and Tang Empires, the navy of the Red Tiger Empire has transferred most of the remaining warships to the side of the beast world.

At present, on the coast of the Red Tiger Empire, there is not even a single capital ship of the Red Tiger Empire's navy.

However, this time the army landed on the coast of the Red Tiger Empire, and the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires not only needed to provide support in terms of transportation capacity, but also had to use naval guns and carrier-based aircraft to provide cover for the army's beach-rushing landing.

In fact, the Red Tiger Empire now knows that the Han and Tang Empires are going to land on its coast.

Now the Red Tiger Empire and the three elven nations have deployed heavy troops in various coastal areas where the Han and Tang Empires may land, including a large number of air force fighters.

The naval forces of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires had to suppress the fighters of the enemy's air force and seize air supremacy.

Without air supremacy, even if the army were able to successfully land, the losses would have been staggering.

Zhou Xiaorong said: "Your Majesty, Lao Song sent a telegram that the new aircraft carrier can already perform combat missions, and now we are waiting for Your Majesty's order." ”

For this landing, the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires will once again gather all the aircraft carriers together, including some escort aircraft carriers recently built by the major shipyards of the Han and Tang Empires.

Originally, because the major shipyards of the Han and Tang Empires had begun to build 60 new aircraft carriers with a full load displacement of 59,500 tons at the same time, the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires planned to decommission all the escort aircraft carriers.

However, to decommission these escort aircraft carriers, it will have to wait for the end of the war with the military alliance of the nine countries.

And for this landing, the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires even asked major shipyards to work overtime to create a batch of new escort aircraft carriers.

At present, the number of escort aircraft carriers of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires has increased to 158, and a total of 2,860 carrier-based aircraft can be carried.

In December last year and January this year, Zhou Rui got two four-star lottery cards, as well as a four-star lottery card for this year's New Year's gift package, and opened a lot of warships, including 12 Dongying Guoxianghe-class aircraft carriers, 12 American Essex-class aircraft carriers and 18 American Midway-class aircraft carriers.

Now these 42 aircraft carriers, as well as other warships, have been delivered to the Royal Navy by Zhou Rui.

At present, the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires has 216 real aircraft carriers, including 100 Bird's Nest class, 36 Xianghe class, 42 Essex class and 38 Midway class.

The Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires had millions of reservists, and even carrier-based aircraft pilots had trained tens of thousands of them, which were kept as backups.

Therefore, the warships that Zhou Rui has just delivered to the Royal Navy, including aircraft carriers, will soon be able to form a certain combat effectiveness.

With so many aircraft carriers, coupled with the performance of the carrier-based aircraft of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires, they can even surpass the fighters of the enemy's air force, so Song Limin, commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires, is still very confident in seizing air supremacy.

The three four-star lottery cards also opened two battleships that surprised Zhou Rui very much, 12 American Montana-class battleships and 12 German Hindenburg-class battleships.

The American Montana-class battleship is a battleship that the United States Navy planned to build during World War II, but was not built, and is the successor version of the American Iowa-class battleship, with a full load displacement of 70,500 tons and a maximum speed of 28 knots.

It is equipped with 4 triple 50-caliber 406-mm main guns, 10 twin 54-caliber 127-mm high-level dual-purpose guns, 10 quadruple 40-mm anti-aircraft guns, 56 20-mm anti-aircraft guns, and is equipped with anti-air search radar and sea search radar.

The broadside armor belt was 409 mm thick, the main deck armor was 263 mm, the main turret armor was 457 mm, and the full crew was 2355 people.

The German Hindenburg-class battleship is a battleship that Germany planned to build during World War II, but was not built, with a full load displacement of 62,219 tons and a maximum speed of 32 knots.

It is equipped with 4 twin 48-caliber 420-mm main guns, 6 twin-mounted 60-caliber 150-mm secondary guns, 6 twin-mounted 105-mm high-level dual-purpose guns, 8 triple 37-mm anti-aircraft guns, 12 triple-mounted 20-mm anti-aircraft guns, and is equipped with anti-air and sea-to-sea search radars.

The broadside armor belt was up to 380 mm thick, the main deck armor was 200 mm, the main turret armor was 460 mm, and the crew was 2300 people.

Zhou Rui did not expect that the lottery system could also open two battleships that were not built during World War II, as far as Zhou Rui knows, the Germans also planned to build battleships with a displacement of more than 100,000 tons during World War II, and I don't know if they can drive them in the future.

"Second uncle, send a report to Guan Guoren and Song Limin separately, when the landing force will set off and when they will prepare to land, it will be discussed by the two of them, and there is no need to ask me for instructions.

I only ask for one thing, and that is that the landing must be successful! ”

The commander-in-chief of the army units that landed in the Red Tiger Empire this time, Zhou Rui appointed Guan Guoren, commander of the Longnan Military Region, to serve as him.

When Guan Guoren received Zhou Rui's telegram, he was visiting an American Montana-class battleship in Ganyang Military Port, and Guan Yonglin, the newly appointed captain of this American Montana-class battleship, was Guan Guoren's eldest son.

Guan Guoren took the telegram handed over by the adjutant, and after reading it, he put it in the pocket of his jacket, "Yonglin, you continue to introduce!" ”

Guan Yonglin pointed to a main turret and continued: "Father, our 'Mongolian' class battleship has a total of 4 triple equipped 506 mm guns of 50 times the caliber.

Although the caliber is not as good as the 460 mm main guns of the 'He' class battleships, the range and power are not much weaker.

In terms of protection, the 'Mongolian'-class battleships were almost on par with the 'He'-class battleships, but the emphasis was different in some aspects.

For example, in terms of underwater protection, the "He" grade is biased towards waterproof shots, the "Meng" grade focuses on anti-torpedo, the "He" grade has thicker side armor, and the 'Mongolian' grade has thicker horizontal armor, of course, the gap is not very large. ”

The "and" class battleship mentioned by Guan Yonglin is the Yamato-class battleship of Dongying Country.

Guan Guoren looked at his eldest son's radiant appearance, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.

Originally, he always hoped that his son could enter the army, which could be regarded as a son inheriting his father's business.

However, the eldest son Guan Yonglin wanted to be a navy, and he was not yet 28 years old, so he became the captain of a battleship, which is still the latest type, and it can be regarded as one of the strongest battleships in the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires, which can be described as promising.

It would be impossible to say that Guan Yonglin did not receive a little special care in the Royal Navy.

But Guan Yonglin's ability to become the captain of this American Montana-class battleship mainly depends on Guan Yonglin's series of dazzling combat exploits.

For example, in the great battle between the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires and the Combined Fleet of the Nine Navies, Guan Yonglin commanded a Baltimore-class heavy cruiser of the United States, sinking 1 enemy battle cruiser, 1 all-steel battleship, 1 large armored cruiser, 2 light cruisers and 2 destroyers, and shot down at least more than 30 enemy fighters.

Guan Guoren has a total of 2 sons, as for his youngest son Guan Yongli, he did not follow his wishes, but joined the Royal Air Force of the Han and Tang Empires, and is now on the southern front battlefield on the Western Continent, and has become a three-star ace pilot of the Royal Air Force, shooting down a total of 33 enemy aircraft.

"Yonglin, Your Majesty's telegram has arrived, and I have to return to the headquarters.

Although there is a small possibility of a naval battle breaking out in this landing, you should also pay attention to safety. Guan Guoren patted Guan Yonglin on the shoulder and said.

When Guan Yonglin heard this, he couldn't help but say excitedly: "Your Majesty's order has finally come.

Father, you should also pay attention to rest and remember to eat on time. ”

Guan Guoren suddenly smiled and said: "This time, our father and son are all gathered on the battlefield of the Red Tiger Empire, and they also represent the three armies of our Han and Tang Empires.

None of you two boys will be obedient. ”

Guan Yonglin smiled, "Father, you and your mother are in good health, do you want to practice trumpet anymore?" ”

Guan Guoren scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy, it seems that being the captain of a battleship has a long ability, and he even dares to make jokes about your father."

Okay, don't talk about it, Yonglin, take care! ”

Guan Yonglin immediately gave Guan Guoren a military salute, "Father, take care!" ”
