Chapter 320: Pull into the water
In the palace of Irpe, the first capital of the Flying Leopard Empire, Emperor Tasik said to Prime Minister Mufero: "I can't help the wolf with a child, at this time, we must have the courage of a strong man to break his wrist."
Immediately sign an agreement with the Red Tiger Empire to transfer 500,000 square kilometers of territory in Yanekod Province, so that the Red Tiger Army can increase troops in Yanekod Province as soon as possible.
On the side of the Wild Bull Empire and the three elven countries, has there been a reply? ”
It turned out that the emperor of the Flying Leopard Empire, Tasik, knew that with the power of the Flying Leopard Empire, it was difficult to resist the attack of the Han and Tang armies with the power of the Flying Leopard Empire, especially the air force of the Han and Tang Empires, which also possessed outrageous poisonous weapons such as incendiary bombs.
The Flying Leopard Empire has a territory of about 8.8 million square kilometers in the New World, divided into 5 provinces, and on the other side of the Spirit World, the Flying Leopard Empire still has about 7 million square kilometers of land.
The total population of the Flying Leopard Empire in these two worlds combined is less than 140 million, making it the least populous of the six beast countries.
The small population also means that the war potential is low, and the Flying Leopard Empire has done everything possible to mobilize about 12 million troops for this war.
Although there has always been a deep contradiction between the Flying Leopard Empire and the Silver Wolf Empire, the Flying Leopard Empire Emperor Tasic understands the truth of cold lips and teeth.
In the battle in the four provinces of the Silver Wolf Empire, in addition to the Silver Wolf Army of the Nine Nations Alliance, the Flying Leopard Army was the most desperate, and the result was that about 2.3 million land forces of the Flying Leopard Empire were wiped out by the Han and Tang armies in the territory of the Silver Wolf Empire.
In this way, at present, even if the Flying Leopard Empire mobilizes the strength of the whole country, it can only muster less than 10 million army troops.
According to the information obtained by the Flying Leopard Empire, the Han and Tang armies attacked the Flying Leopard Empire's Yanecod Province this time, gathering at least more than 15 million troops.
Even if the Flying Leopard Empire transferred the remaining nearly 10 million army units to the New World, it would be difficult to keep the five provinces of the New World without air supremacy.
As for the armies of the other countries of the Nine Nations Alliance, even if they will support the Flying Leopard Empire, they will never do their best, which has long been reflected in the Silver Wolf Empire.
So the emperor of the Flying Leopard Empire, Tasik, decided to implement the plan of "reluctant children can't trap wolves", and donated most of the territory of Yanecod Province to the Red Tiger Empire, the Barbarian Bull Empire and the three elven countries.
The area of Yanekode Province is as high as 2.4 million square kilometers, and Emperor Tasik, after studying with his ministers, plans to donate 500,000 square kilometers of it to the Red Tiger Empire, and then 300,000 square kilometers to the Barbarian Bull Empire and the three elven countries.
The additional 200,000 square kilometers of territory given to the Red Tiger Empire was taken into account the previous assistance of the Red Tiger Empire to the Flying Leopard Empire in all aspects.
Of course, this territory of up to 1.7 million square kilometers was not given for nothing, and the Flying Leopard Empire's move was to make the Red Tiger Empire, the Barbarian Bull Empire, and the armies of the three elven countries do their best to resist the Han and Tang Dynasty armies.
In this way, the Flying Leopard Empire will be able to keep the remaining 4 provinces, as well as the remaining 700,000 square kilometers of territory in the province of Yanecod.
Prime Minister Mufero said: "Your Majesty, the Barbarian Bull Empire and the three elven countries have not yet recovered.
However, if according to the requirements of the Red Tiger Empire, our Flying Leopard Empire signs a transfer agreement first, the Wild Bull Empire and the three elven countries will definitely agree.
After all, the Wild Bull Empire has always wanted to return to the New World, and the three Elven countries have dreamed of gaining a foothold in the New World.
It's just that I'm afraid that after the transfer agreement is exposed, the military and civilians of our Barbarian Empire will be a little incomprehensible about this matter. ”
Emperor Tasik sighed and said, "I don't really want to cede the land of the empire to other countries.
However, if these countries are not pulled into the water, with the strength of our Flying Leopard Empire itself, it will be difficult to hold the five provinces of the New World, and the gap between our Flying Leopard Empire and the Han and Tang Empires is too big in all aspects.
The so-called alliance is reliable without real benefits. ”
Prime Minister Mufero nodded and said, "Your Majesty's move is also a last resort.
Without the support of other allies doing their best, our Flying Leopard Empire alone would definitely not be able to hold the five provinces of the New World.
Presumably, the military and civilians of the empire will finally understand His Majesty's distress. ”
Emperor Tasic then changed the subject, "Prime Minister, what do you think of the Navy's proposed reconstruction plan?" ”
The navy of the Flying Leopard Empire previously sent a total of 36 aircraft carriers, 73 battleships, 30 battle cruisers, 60 large armored cruisers, 100 light cruisers, 100 destroyers and 30 submarines to join the combined fleet of the nine navies.
After a decisive naval battle with the main naval force of the Han and Tang Empires, the navy of the Flying Leopard Empire was left with only 6 battleships, 2 battle cruisers, 9 large armored cruisers, 14 light cruisers, 17 destroyers and 3 submarines, and withdrew to the side of the beast world, and even the naval minister of the Flying Leopard Empire, Annot, was killed in the naval battle.
It can be said that the essence of the Flying Leopard Empire's navy has been lost in this war, and some of the surviving battleships are almost on the verge of scrapping because they are too badly injured.
As a result, the newly appointed Minister of the Flying Leopard Empire's Navy, Frmit, proposed a plan to rebuild the Flying Leopard Empire's navy.
Frmit had just become the First Vice Minister of the Admiralty of the Flying Leopard Empire half a year earlier, with the rank of Admiral.
The plan proposed by Vermit to rebuild the Flying Leopard Empire included the construction of 24 super aircraft carriers with a full load displacement of more than 300,000 tons and 24 super battleships with a full load displacement of more than 150,000 tons, as well as the construction of more than 300 warships of other types.
Prime Minister Mufero smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, although the minister also very much hopes to implement the reconstruction plan proposed by Admiral Vermitt, but the finances and strength of our Flying Leopard Empire do not allow it.
A super aircraft carrier with a full load displacement of more than 300,000 tons will cost at least about 500 million silver coins, and a super battleship with a full load displacement of more than 150,000 tons will cost about 300 million silver coins.
In order to expand the navy, land and air forces of our Flying Leopard Empire, our Flying Leopard Empire's financial deficit was already very serious, and there was no money to build super aircraft carriers and super battleships. ”
Emperor Tasik pondered for a moment and said, "No matter what, such heavy weapons as super aircraft carriers and super battleships, we must have in the Royal Navy of the Flying Leopard Empire.
I still have about 2 billion silver coins in my Imperial Treasury, and I will take out some of the treasures in the Imperial Treasury and sell them, so that the Treasury can issue some more treasury bonds, and build 6 super aircraft carriers and 6 super battleships as much as possible. ”
"Your Majesty, the 2 billion silver coins in the Imperial Treasury are the last reserve funds of our Flying Leopard Empire.
This war is still far from over, and it is best not to use the 2 billion silver coins first, and the minister will ask the Ministry of Finance to issue more treasury bonds, but I don't know if I can sell them. ”
In the palace in the Emerald City, the capital of the Nature Elf Empire, Prime Minister Prono reported to the Elven Empress Brina: "Your Majesty, the Flying Leopard Empire is willing to sign a transfer agreement first, and give us about 300,000 square kilometers of territory in the province of Yanecode.
Moreover, the Flying Leopard Empire is also willing to lease the Spirit Race World to a different time and space node connecting the 300,000 square kilometers of territory, as well as 100 square kilometers of land around this different time and space node, for 200 years at the price of 1 silver coin per year.
The conditions given by the Flying Leopard Empire to the Light Elf Empire and the Dark Elf Empire are basically the same as those of our Natural Elf Empire. ”
Elven Empress Brianna sighed and said, "According to the investigation of our intelligence department, the 300,000 square kilometers of land in the Yanecod Province of the Flying Leopard Empire have iron ore reserves of at least more than 60 billion tons.
This is too much of a temptation for our Nature Elf Empire, but this advantage is not so easy to take advantage of. ”
Prime Minister Prono hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, as far as the minister knows, this time, in order to resist the attack of the Han and Tang armies, the Flying Leopard Empire is ready to give most of the territory of Yanecode Province to our three elven countries, as well as the Red Tiger Empire and the Barbarian Bull Empire.
If the five countries accept the transfer agreement of the Flying Leopard Empire, then it is still very promising to block the Han and Tang armies in Yanekode Province, or even drive the Han and Tang armies out of Yanekode Province. ”
After a pause, Prime Minister Prono continued: "Your Majesty, more than 60 billion tons of iron ore is too precious for our Nature Elf Empire! ”
Elven Empress Brina nodded slowly, "The steel imported by our natural elven empire before is about to be exhausted due to the construction of 120 Spirit-class aircraft carriers and 100 unicorn-class escort carriers.
The Navy is now proposing to build a super aircraft carrier with a full load displacement of more than 300,000 tons and a super battleship with a full load displacement of more than 100,000 tons. ”
Prime Minister Prono then said: "Your Majesty, the navy has already designed two warships.
Super aircraft carrier with a full load displacement of 360,000 tons, a maximum speed of 29 knots, a waterline armor belt with a thickness of 450 mm to 580 mm, flight deck armor 300 mm thick, hangar deck armor 220 mm thick.
It is equipped with 26 twin 90-mm high-level guns, 58 twin 40-mm anti-aircraft guns, and 120 13-mm anti-aircraft machine guns, which can carry about 450 jet carrier-based aircraft.
The super battleship has a full load displacement of 185,000 tons, a maximum speed of 29 knots, and is equipped with 5 triple 45 times caliber 550 mm guns.
8 triple 240-mm secondary guns, 24 twin 90-mm high-level guns, 48 twin 40-mm anti-aircraft guns, 80 13-mm anti-aircraft machine guns.
The armor thickness of this super battleship is a little thicker than that of the designed super aircraft carrier. ”
The Elven Empress Brina then said categorically: "Agree to the transfer agreement of the Flying Leopard Empire!"
Our Nature Elf Empire will defend that 300,000 square kilometers of territory at all costs! ”
In the palace of Tolit City, the capital of the Wild Bull Empire, Emperor Guridor asked Crown Prince Trofi and Prime Minister Onora, "Do you think that our Wild Bull Empire should accept the transfer agreement of the Flying Leopard Empire?" ”
Crown Prince Trofe immediately said, "Father, this is the best chance for our Barbarian Bull Empire to return to the new world.
Although our Wild Bull Empire may pay a considerable price for this, as long as our Wild Bull Empire can return to the new world, the price paid is worth it. ”
Prime Minister Onora followed: "Your Majesty, there are several large iron mines in the 300,000 square kilometers of territory that the Flying Leopard Empire promised to give us to the Barbarian Bull Empire.
Since our Bull Empire was kicked out of the New World, the reserves of steel have been declining rapidly.
If our Wild Bull Empire can get those 300,000 square kilometers of territory, it can alleviate the shortage of steel resources in our Wild Bull Empire. ”
Emperor Gu Liduo said with a wry smile: "But before, our Nine Nations Alliance Army did not block the attack of the Han and Tang armies in the Silver Wolf Empire, causing the Silver Wolf Empire to lose all the territory of the New World.
I'm worried that our Wild Bull Empire will end up empty. ”
Crown Prince Trofe then said: "Father, in the previous big war in the territory of the Silver Wolf Empire, except for the Silver Wolf Empire, the armies of other countries, including our Barbarian Bull Army, did not do their best.
What's more, this time, the Flying Leopard Empire is ready to sign a transfer agreement with 5 countries, which means that there will be 6 countries' armies, and in the territory of the Flying Leopard Empire's Yanecod Province, they will use all their strength to resist the attack of the Han and Tang armies. ”
Prime Minister Onora said: "Your Majesty, our Royal Navy of the Barbarian Bull Empire suffered heavy losses in the decisive battle with the main naval force of the Han and Tang Empires.
Next, if we want to revive the Royal Navy, we need a lot of steel to build warships, and with the current steel reserves of our Wild Bull Empire, it is simply impossible to build too many new warships. ”
At present, there are only 2 aircraft carriers, 3 battleships and 1 battle cruiser left in the capital ships of the entire Brute Bull Empire Navy, and almost all of them are wounded.
Now the remaining 6 capital ships of the Manniu Empire's navy have temporarily separated from the establishment of the combined fleet of the nine navies and returned to the shipyard of the Manniu Empire for maintenance.
The Wild Bull Empire once took some detours in the construction of battleships, but after the Wild Bull Empire was driven back to the beast world, the Wild Bull Empire increased its investment in the navy, so that the level and scale of the Wild Bull Empire's shipbuilding have caught up with the Silver Wolf Empire and the Flying Leopard Empire.
Seeing that Crown Prince Trofe and Prime Minister Onora both supported the acceptance of the 300,000 square kilometers of territory in the province of Yanecode of the Flying Leopard Empire, Crown Prince Trofe finally made up his mind and said: "Immediately let the army and air force be fully mobilized, and then a tough battle will be fought!" ”
Under the lure of the Flying Leopard Empire, in the end, the Red Tiger Empire, the Wild Bull Empire and the three elven countries were all pulled into the water by the Flying Leopard Empire, and tens of millions of army troops and tens of thousands of fighters from the five countries began to gather in the Yanecod Province of the Flying Leopard Empire.
