Chapter 304: Withdrawal from the Alliance

After the Han and Tang Empires took military threats against the Silver Wolf Empire and the Flying Leopard Empire, the Golden Lion Empire, on behalf of the other countries of the 10-nation military alliance, declared that the turmoil in the Silver Wolf Empire and the Flying Leopard Empire belonged to the internal affairs of the two countries, and the Han and Tang Empires had no right to interfere.

If the Han and Tang Empires had to meddle in the internal affairs of the 10-nation military alliance member countries, the entire 10-nation military alliance would not agree.

The declaration of the Golden Lion Empire was obviously a threat to the Han and Tang Empires, and suddenly the situation between the Han and Tang Empires and the military alliance of the 10 countries became even worse.

In a large hall of the imperial palace in Lingyang City, the capital of the Liang Yan Empire, Emperor Fan Yi asked Prime Minister Lu Qing with some bitterness: "Lu Xiang, what do you think our Liang Yan Empire should do this time?" ”

To be honest, the Liang Yan Empire chose to join the so-called 10-nation military alliance, more to use the military power of other member countries to deter the Han and Tang Empires.

The high-level leaders of the Liang Yan Empire have always been reluctant to directly break out a war with the Han and Tang Empires, which is why when the Han and Tang Empires annexed the Qi'an Empire, the Western Qin Empire and the Eastern Qin Empire, the Liang Yan Empire has always strongly condemned it, but did not send a single soldier.

Today, the Liangyan Empire covers an area of about 6.2 million square kilometers and has a population of nearly 280 million.

However, the Han and Tang Empires, which the Liang Yan Empire faced, had a land area of nearly 100 million square kilometers and a population of more than 3.5 billion, and the two sides were not at the same level in terms of size.

Originally, there were 12 human countries on the Eastern Continent, and now only the Han and Tang Empires and the Liang Yan Empire remain, even if the Han and Tang Empires emphasize that they have no intention of invading the Liang Yan Empire, the high-level of the Liang Yan Empire will still have trouble sleeping in the face of the behemoth of the Han and Tang Empires, otherwise the Liang Yan Empire will not choose to conspire with the tiger and form a military alliance with those beast countries.

But if the Liang Yan Empire really went to war with the Han and Tang Empires, Fan Yi, the emperor of the Liang Yan Empire, was a little cowardly in his heart.

Prime Minister Lu Qing sighed and said, "Your Majesty, this massacre of human civilians in the Silver Wolf Empire and the Flying Leopard Empire has also caused an uproar in our Liang Yan Empire.

At present, there are many cities in the country, and there are demonstrations demanding that the empire withdraw from the military alliance of 10 countries, and under the guidance of well-intentioned people, the scale of the demonstrations in various cities has become larger and larger. ”

"Someone with a heart? Could it be the Han and Tang Empires? ”

Prime Minister Lu Qing nodded, "Your Majesty, there should be the Han and Tang Empires in it, but the Silver Wolf Empire and the Flying Leopard Empire did go too far this time, and they can't complain that the people of the empire are angry."

If the 10-nation military alliance really declares war with the Han and Tang Empires this time, if our Liangyan Empire participates in the war, I am afraid that there will be some instability in the country. ”

Emperor Fan Yi then turned his head to the crown prince Fan Pu and asked, "What does the prince think about this matter?" ”

The crown prince Fan Pu pondered for a while and said, "Father, although our Liangyan Empire has built a powerful navy, land and air force after all these years of military rearmament.

However, when the three armies of our Liang Yan Empire faced the Han and Tang Empires, their strength was inevitably a little insufficient.

Moreover, our Liang Yan Empire has a long border with the Han and Tang Empires, once our Liang Yan Empire follows the six beast countries and three elf countries to declare war with the Han and Tang Empires, our Liang Yan Empire will definitely bear the brunt.

Even the border defense line costing billions of silver coins may be difficult to resist the joint attack of the Han and Tang Empire's army and air force, and the coastal area is even more difficult to resist the Han and Tang Empire's navy. ”

In recent years, the Liang Yan Empire has spent most of its financial revenue on military affairs.

Today, the army of the Liang Yan Empire has more than 8 million regular troops, as well as up to 20 million reservists, more than 50,000 tanks of various types, and more than 20,000 artillery pieces with a caliber of 100 mm or more.

The air force of the Liang Yan Empire has more than 2,000 jet fighters, more than 1,500 jet bombers, more than 2,000 propeller fighters, and more than 4,000 propeller bombers.

In addition, the Liang Yan Empire's air force also mothballed more than 6,000 propeller fighters and more than 1,000 propeller bombers.

The navy of the Liang Yan Empire had 40 aircraft carriers, 134 super submarines, 118 all-main gun battleships, 78 battle cruisers, 124 large armored cruisers, 220 light cruisers, and 256 destroyers.

In addition, the Liangyan Empire has 20 new aircraft carriers with a full load displacement of up to 58,000 tons, as well as 16 super submarines that can carry folding water dive bombers, which will soon be commissioned.

The 20 new aircraft carriers with a full load displacement of 58,000 tons are aircraft carriers that the Liang Yan Empire began to build three years ago, with a design maximum speed of 30 knots and can carry 70 jet carrier-based aircraft.

The Honeycomb-class aircraft carriers and Eagle's Nest-class aircraft carriers of the Liang Yan Imperial Navy are now all equipped with jet carrier-based aircraft independently designed and produced by the Liang Yan Empire.

Among them, the Honeycomb-class aircraft carrier with a full load displacement of 25,000 tons can carry 30 jet carrier-based aircraft, and the Eagle's Nest-class aircraft carrier with a full load displacement of 42,000 tons can carry 54 jet carrier-based aircraft.

After the advent of jet fighters, there were some admirals of the Liang Yan Empire who raised the question of whether it was necessary to continue building supersubmarines.

After all, the super submarine with a full load displacement of 4,350 tons on the water and a full load displacement of 6,450 tons under the water carries a folding water dive bomber, which belongs to a propeller bomber, and its performance lags behind that of jet fighters in all aspects.

However, under the strong leadership of Geng Rong, Minister of the Admiralty of the Liang Yan Empire, the Liang Yan Empire still built a large number of super submarines.

Geng Rong's point of view is that the bombers carried by the super submarine were mainly used to attack the coastal areas of the Han and Tang Empires, not to engage in a head-to-head confrontation with the jet fighters of the Han and Tang Empire Air Forces.

Therefore, even if the supersubmarine can only carry propeller bombers, it is still of great strategic significance.

Emperor Fan Yi said helplessly: "But our Liang Yan Empire formed a military alliance with those beast countries in order to deter the Han and Tang Empires.

If our Liang Yan Empire withdraws from the 10-nation military alliance now, once the Han and Tang Empires invade our Liang Yan Empire in the future, no country will come to our aid to the Liang Yan Empire. ”

Crown Prince Fan Pu said: "Father, there are only interests between countries, and the so-called covenant is actually just a piece of paper.

Even if the Han and Tang Empires invade our Liang Yan Empire in the future, those so-called allies may not necessarily come to the rescue. ”

Prime Minister Lu Qing hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, those six beast countries and three elf countries have become more and more powerful in military strength in recent years.

Maybe our Liang Yan Empire withdraws from the 10-nation military alliance and can get some surprises from the Han and Tang Empires. ”

Shortly after the declaration of the Golden Lion Empire was issued, the Liang Yan Empire, which was part of the 10-nation military alliance, suddenly began to condemn the attacks on human civilians in the Silver Wolf Empire and the Flying Leopard Empire.

And the Liang Yan Empire also announced that if the Silver Wolf Empire and the Flying Leopard Empire did not immediately stop the domestic attacks on human civilians, the Liang Yan Empire would not rule out withdrawing from the 10-nation military alliance.

In the palace of Norya City, the first capital of the Golden Lion Empire, Emperor Kosno said angrily: "Human beings are really unreliable!

What is the Liang Yan Empire doing here?

This is already an act of betrayal of the allies! ”

Prime Minister Salento said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, it seems that we are ready for the Liang Yan Empire to withdraw from the 10-nation military alliance.

Even we have to be careful that the Liang Yan Empire will re-establish a military alliance with the Han and Tang Empires. ”

Emperor Kosno took a deep breath and calmed down his emotions, "Will the Han and Tang Empires want those capricious villains of the Liang Yan Empire?" ”

Prime Minister Salento said: "Your Majesty, our Golden Lion Empire and the other five Spirit Race countries, as well as the three Elf Race countries, have been increasing their military strength day by day after several years of military rearmament.

Even if the strength of the Han and Tang Empire's navy, land, and air forces is extremely strong, I am afraid that the Han and Tang Empires will also feel a trace of fear of the combined strength of our nine countries.

If the Liang Yan Empire now turns its back on the allies of the 10-nation military alliance, presumably the Han and Tang Empires will definitely take the opportunity to win over the Liang Yan Empire. ”

Emperor Kosno asked in a deep voice, "What is the attitude of other countries?" ”

"Your Majesty can rest assured that the three elven countries, including the three elven countries, are willing to compete with the Han and Tang Empires for the hegemony of the new world again.

Even if there is no 10-nation military alliance, there will be a 9-nation military alliance. ”

For this drama made by the Liang Yan Empire, the Han and Tang Empires are of course happy to see it.

In the imperial palace of Tiansheng City, the capital of the Han and Tang Empires, Hu Yi, the director of the Royal Intelligence Bureau, reported to Zhou Rui: "Your Majesty, according to the information obtained by our Intelligence Bureau, the withdrawal of the Liang Yan Empire from the military alliance of the 10 countries can basically be confirmed.

In addition, in the court of the Liang Yan Empire, there has been a voice recently, that is, the Liang Yan Empire should choose to ally with the Han and Tang Empires for the benefit of mankind and jointly crusade against the beast countries that slaughter human civilians. ”

Zhou Rui is 41 years old this year, but he looks like he is in his early 30s.

Zhou Rui then asked the crown prince Zhou Jun, "Xiaojun, what do you think of the actions of the Liang Yan Empire?" ”

Prince Zhou Jun is 20 years old this year, although Zhou Rui still did not prescribe high-level physical fitness enhancement potions from the lottery system, but Prince Zhou Jun relied on his hard work to be promoted to the Great Grandmaster Martial Artist in October last year.

In addition to martial arts, whether it is in terms of knowledge or in terms of doing things, Zhou Rui is also very satisfied with the crown prince Zhou Jun, so after the Chinese New Year, Zhou Rui began to train the prince Zhou Jun to deal with some imperial government affairs.

It may be because of Queen Liu Yiqiu, the crown prince Zhou Jun's appearance is much more handsome than Zhou Rui, when in the past two years, Zhou Rui intends to push the prince Zhou Jun to the forefront, the prince Zhou Jun immediately became the best husband in the minds of thousands of girls in the Han and Tang Empires.

The crown prince Zhou Jun said almost without thinking: "Father, the Liang Yan Empire is obviously afraid of a war with our Han and Tang Empires.

After all, the other countries of the 10-nation military alliance are either in the Western Continent or in the beast world, and far water cannot quench their thirst.

Once the military alliance of the 10 countries declares war on each other with our Han and Tang Empires, with the strength of the Liang Yan Empire itself, it is impossible to resist the army of our Han and Tang Empires.

I even suspect that the voice in the court of the Liang Yan Empire was written and directed by the high-level of the Liang Yan Empire, which is nothing more than a signal to our Han and Tang Empires, hoping that our Han and Tang Empires can win over the Liang Yan Empire at this time. ”

Zhou Rui nodded approvingly, "Then do you think that our Han and Tang Empires should let go of their past suspicions and win over the Liang Yan Empire?" ”

The crown prince Zhou Jun pondered for a moment and said: "Emotionally, Erchen is not willing to win over the Liang Yan Empire, but the remaining six beast countries and three elf countries in the 10-nation military alliance have been frantically expanding their armaments in recent years.

The strength of the Liang Yan Empire's navy, land and air forces is not weak, if the Liang Yan Empire can be pulled into the chariot of our Han and Tang Empires, the chances of our Han and Tang Empires winning will also increase by a few points. ”

Zhou Rui suddenly laughed and said: "Xiaojun, you have really grown up, you just analyzed very well, and you can handle things from the perspective of the country, I am also very satisfied."

But I have to tell you something, even if the Liang Yan Empire does not withdraw from the 10-nation military alliance, our Han and Tang Empires will still win the war, and there will be no accidents.

It seems that next, I have to let you get in touch with the navy, land and air forces of our Han and Tang Empires. ”

Zhou Rui has enough confidence to say this, you must know that all aspects of the Han and Tang Empires have developed rapidly in recent years, especially with hundreds of thousands of tons of gold that can be exchanged from the 7 countries of the Continent of the Gods every year, which makes the Han and Tang Empires have almost inexhaustible military spending.

Not to mention the number of active troops of the Han and Tang Empire's navy, land and air forces, the number of registered royal army reservists of the Han and Tang Empires alone exceeded 300 million.

The Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires and the Royal Air Force of the Han and Tang Empires also had reservists several times more than the number of officers and soldiers on active duty.

Due to the abundant military expenditure of the Han and Tang Empires, the reservists of the navy, land and air forces were paid and spent a lot of time in military training every year.

Once the war broke out, as long as there was no problem with the weapons and equipment, the scale of the Han and Tang Empire's navy, land and air forces could swell wildly in a short period of time.

As for the weapons and equipment of the navy, land and air forces, the Han and Tang Empires are not lacking, and even in terms of performance, most of the weapons and equipment are ahead of the six beast countries and the three elf countries.

On January 28, 1557, the Liang Yan Empire officially announced its withdrawal from the 10-nation military alliance.

Immediately, the other countries of the 10-nation military alliance condemned the Liang Yan Empire, and the Golden Lion Empire, the Black Bear Empire, the Silver Wolf Empire, and the Flying Leopard Empire also expelled the Liang Yan Empire's envoys to the above four countries and announced the severance of all diplomatic relations with the Liang Yan Empire.

However, because there was still the Han and Tang Empires eyeing the Han and Tang Empires next to them, the remaining 9 countries of the 10-nation military alliance did not choose to declare war on the Liang Yan Empire because of anger.

According to the treaty originally formulated by the 10-nation military alliance, the Liang Yan Empire's withdrawal from the alliance was enough for other allies to jointly declare war on it.
