"Dashuai, our 'ghost shadow' has found out that the Di family of Ruigu City and the historian of Sangdao City in the eastern province of the Bajin Empire, as well as the Deng family of Zhuyang City, the Liao family of Huangsha City, and the Zhu family of Degang City in the western provinces.

They all united under the secret instigation of the Silver Wolf Empire, preparing to cooperate with the army of the Silver Wolf Empire to launch an attack on Jinnan Town. ”

After listening to Hu Yi's words, Zhou Rui's face couldn't help but show a sneer, "We haven't gone to their trouble yet, but they took the initiative to send it to the door!" ”

The eastern and western provinces of the Bajin Empire were bordered by the Jinnan Town controlled by the Zhou family, of which the Eastern Province was basically controlled by two big families, namely the Di family in Ruigu City and the historian of Sangdao City.

The western provinces are in the hands of the Deng family in Zhuyang City, the Liao family in Huangsha City, and the Zhu family in Degang City.

Zhou Rui then asked Hu Yi, "How are your 'ghosts' doing with the infiltration of these five families?" ”

"Marshal, for the families in each of the other four provinces of the Bajin Empire who control military power, we're 'ghosts' who have been carrying out the work of infiltration.

In the armies of the five families of the Eastern Province and the Western Province, many of the generals who led the troops were bought by our 'ghost'.

If we send troops to these two provinces now, it is conservatively estimated that our 'ghost' can also make 30,000 or 40,000 troops defect. ”

Zhou Rui turned his head to Zhou Xiaorong and asked, "Second uncle, what do you think?" ”

Zhou Xiaorong said: "Capturing the other four provinces of the Bajin Empire was originally the plan of our Zhou family.

Now that we have the evidence that these five families colluded with the Silver Wolf Empire, we just took the opportunity to take down the Eastern Province and the Western Province first.

I am in favor of an immediate military dispatch to the eastern and western provinces of the Bajin Empire. ”

"Second uncle, with the help of the Southern Jin Army, can you complete the battle plan to capture the two provinces of the Bajin Empire alone?"

"Marshal, there is no need to transfer troops to Jinnan Town, at present, there are 16 infantry divisions left in Jinnan Town, and the other 2 infantry divisions are on Gaosnail Island.

And these 16 infantry divisions, in order to cope with the expeditionary force of the beast country, temporarily reinforced each with 12 supplementary regiments, so that the strength of each infantry division doubled to about 70,000.

In addition, in various cities of Jinnan Town, we have also formed more than 100 garrison regiments, each of which has a strength of more than 3,000 people.

Therefore, with the strength in Jinnan Town, it should not be difficult to deal with the five families in the Eastern Province and the Western Province. ”

Today, the towns of Fengwu, Zhenwei and Jinnan have all been mobilized for war, and there are more than one million regular army troops in each of the feudal towns, and there are many more reservists who are receiving the most basic military training.

If it weren't for the lack of weapons and equipment in Zhou Rui's hands, Zhou Rui would have been able to drum up tens of millions of troops just by relying on these three feudal towns.

"Second uncle, then you immediately rush to Jinnan Town, and the matter of attacking the Eastern Province and the Western Province will be handed over to you, Second Uncle."

On April 15, 1539, the Southern Jin Army brazenly invaded the two provinces of the Bajin Empire in the name of collusion between the five major families of the Eastern Province and the Western Province of the Bajin Empire in collusion with the Silver Wolf Empire.

And the five families in the eastern and western provinces of the Bajin Empire did not expect that the Zhou family would send troops to fight them at this time, but they were caught off guard.

Coupled with the weapons and equipment of the armies of the two sides, there is too much gap, and many troops of the five families have defected one after another.

As a result, several troops of the Jinnan Army were in the territory of the eastern provinces and the western provinces of the Bajin Empire, which can be said to be like a bamboo, and in less than half a month, the Jinnan Army had captured most of the eastern provinces and almost half of the western provinces of the Bajin Empire.

In the Governor's Mansion of the Silver Wolf Empire's Silver Light City, the deputy minister of the Silver Wolf Emperor's ** Intelligence Department, Klisha, reported to Governor Igna: "The armies of the Di family of Ruigu City, the historian of Sangdao City, the Deng family of Zhuyang City, the Liao family of Huangsha City and the Zhu family of Degang City of the Bajin Empire have a big gap in combat effectiveness compared to the Southern Jin Army.

If there is no accident, the eastern and western provinces of the Bajin Empire should soon be captured by the southern Jin army. ”

Governor Igna snorted coldly, "Since the five families of the Bajin Empire no longer have any use value, there is no need to pay attention to them anymore.

After the Eastern Province and the Western Province were annexed by the Southern Jin Army, it was equivalent to reducing some troubles for our Silver Wolf Empire.

In this way, our Silver Wolf Empire can directly eat Jinnan Town and these two provinces.

By the way, when will the Golden Lion Empire be ready? ”

After the fiasco of the Second Battle of Gaoluo Island, the Golden Lion Empire finally stopped trying to rely on its own country's navy to solve the Han and Tang Empire's southwest coastal defense fleet.

Soon, the Red Tiger Empire and the Silver Wolf Empire formally reached an agreement to form a joint expeditionary force of the three kingdoms, and the Golden Lion Empire will also send army units to join the expeditionary force this time.

However, because the navy of the Golden Lion Empire suffered too much loss in the Second Battle of Gaoluo Island, the Golden Lion Empire asked for some time to allow the navy of the Golden Lion Empire to reorganize an expeditionary fleet.

Deputy Minister of Military Intelligence Klisha shook his head, "Governor, there is no news from the Golden Lion Empire yet.

However, according to the information from the Spirit World, the Golden Lion Empire has transferred a lot of warships from the Wind Fleet, the Storm Fleet, the Sky Thunder Fleet and the Lightning Fleet this time, but there is no need to worry about the size of the Golden Lion Empire's naval fleet in the Expeditionary Force. ”

Governor Igna smiled slightly, "The Golden Lion Empire has suffered two consecutive losses in the hands of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet of the Han and Tang Empires.

In order to completely wipe out this human fleet, the Golden Lion Empire will definitely spare no effort this time.

Of course, with the combined strength of our three navies, the southwest coastal defense fleet of the Han and Tang Empires will no longer have the possibility of creating miracles. ”

Then Governor Igna turned to Luca, the deputy minister of the War Department of the Silver Wolf Empire, and asked, "How is the matter of sending additional army troops to the expeditionary force?" ”

According to the partition agreement of the Golden Lion Empire, the Red Tiger Empire and the Silver Wolf Empire, Jinnan Town was returned to the Silver Wolf Empire.

In this way, the task of capturing Jinnan Town fell to the army of the Silver Wolf Empire.

After the Military Intelligence Department of the Silver Wolf Empire learned of the Zhou family's series of military expansion operations in Jinnan Town, Governor Igna decided to increase the strength of the army units in the Silver Wolf Empire's expeditionary force.

At present, the army that is accompanying the expeditionary fleet of the Silver Wolf Empire, including 5 group armies of the Royal Army of the Silver Wolf Empire and 10 independent divisions dominated by dog people, has a total strength of 550,000 people.

According to Governor Igna, 2 more group armies and 6 independent divisions dominated by dog people should be transferred, so that the total strength of the expeditionary force can reach 800,000.

Luca, the deputy minister of the War Department, hesitated for a moment and said: "Governor, the follow-up 2 army groups and 6 independent divisions have been assembled.

However, the logistical pressure of the expeditionary force is now quite high, so our War Department proposes to use 2 army groups and 6 independent divisions as the second batch.

When the expeditionary force gained a foothold in Jinnan Town, the second batch of 2 group armies and 6 independent divisions were sent over. ”

Since the expeditionary force of the Silver Wolf Empire is now stopped on Maotou Island of the Red Tiger Empire, a large amount of supplies need to be consumed every day, most of which still need to be purchased from the Red Tiger Empire.

This made the Governor's Mansion of the Silver Wolf Empire have to approve a special amount of funds to purchase various materials on Maotou Island to ensure the supply of hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers of the Silver Wolf Empire's expeditionary force.

Governor Igna thought of the purchase funds he had specially approved, nodded and said, "Then do what your War Department wants!"

On the Royal Navy's side, when will the 10 all-main gun battleships and 10 all-steel battleships drawn from the Wolf Tooth Fleet, the Blood Wolf Fleet, and the Blue Wolf Fleet come over? ”

Before the formal signing of the agreement to form a joint expeditionary force of the three kingdoms, both the Golden Lion Empire and the Red Tiger Empire demanded that the Silver Wolf Empire need to strengthen the naval part of the expeditionary force.

This time, the Royal Navy of the Silver Wolf Empire only gathered 14 all-main gun battleships, 16 all-steel battleships, 20 large armored cruisers, 30 light cruisers and 30 destroyers to join the sequence of the expeditionary force.

In the face of the Han and Tang Empire's Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet, which had won two consecutive naval victories in the Battle of Gaoluo Island, both the Golden Lion Empire and the Red Tiger Empire believed that the navy of the Silver Wolf Empire should take more responsibility.

At the strong request of the Golden Lion Empire and the Red Tiger Empire, the Silver Wolf Empire finally agreed to transfer another 10 all-main gun battleships and 10 all-steel battleships to join the expeditionary force.

Admiralty Vice-Minister Yegor hurriedly replied, "Governor, the 10 all-main gun battleships and 10 all-steel battleships drawn from the Wolf Tooth Fleet, the Blood Wolf Fleet, and the Blue Wolf Fleet have gathered together in the Spirit World.

Now we are rushing to the different time node where warships can pass, and in about two days we can enter the new world, and in a week, we can reach Cat's Head Island and join our Royal Navy expeditionary fleet. ”

"36 Oak-class battleships with full main guns and 36 attack-class battlecruisers, how long will it take for them to enter service?"

The Oak-class all-main gun battleship and the attack-class battlecruiser are the two capital ships that the Silver Wolf Empire has just begun to build, and the reason why so many are built at once is to cope with the shipbuilding competition of various beast countries.

Among them, the Oak-class all-main gun battleship has a full load displacement of 30,000 tons, a maximum speed of 20 knots, and is equipped with 5 twin 45 times the caliber 350 mm main gun.

Attack-class battle cruiser with a full load displacement of 30,500 tons, a maximum speed of 25 knots, and four twin 45x caliber 350 mm guns.

The two capital ships of the Silver Wolf Empire, compared with the all-main gun battleships and battle cruisers under construction in the Golden Lion Empire and the Red Tiger Empire, are 10 mm smaller in terms of the caliber of the main guns.

"Governor, by the end of next year, all 36 Oak-class battleships with full main guns and 36 attack-class battlecruisers will be in service.

In addition, we purchased the 7 unfinished Punisher class all-main gun battleships from the Wild Bull Empire, and they can all be built in the next two months. ”
