Chapter 330: Taking into account the overall situation
After the Battle of Serbo Island, the navies of the six orc countries and the navies of the three elven countries broke out two large-scale naval battles one after another.
The scale of the last two naval battles was not inferior to the Battle of Selbo Island, or even surpassed, but the losses of the fleets of both sides were much smaller than the Battle of Selbo Island.
The reason for this result is also the result of the deliberate control of the admirals of both sides, after all, in addition to the two warring sides, there is also a Han and Tang Empire eyeing the enemy.
In the next two naval battles, one of them was that the navies of the three elf countries chose to retreat first, and the other was the navies of the six orc countries, which chose to retreat on their own initiative after losing some warships.
If the navies of the two sides really want to fight each other desperately, the consequences will not be something that any of them can bear.
In fact, several orc countries led by the Golden Lion Empire have always hoped to be able to negotiate peace with the three elven countries and end this war that should not happen as soon as possible.
However, the three elven countries were unwilling to give up the opportunity to carve up the Flying Leopard Empire easily, but when the armies of the six orc countries launched a winter offensive in early November of Tianyuan 1576, the attitude of the three elven countries towards peace talks had some changes.
As of the end of October 1576, the armies of the three elven countries had captured most of the territory of the Flying Leopard Empire in the new world, and also captured about 2 million square kilometers of the Flying Leopard Empire's territory in the Spirit Continent, and the total land area of the Flying Leopard Empire in the Spirit Continent was only 7 million square kilometers.
In fact, the armies of the three elven countries, almost all of the results achieved were obtained before July 1576, with the army units and fighters of the five countries of the Golden Lion, Red Tiger, Black Bear, Silver Wolf, and Manniu, more and more of them gathered into the territory of the Flying Leopard Empire, which basically suppressed the offensive of the elf army.
In the palace of the Emerald City, the capital of the Nature Elf Empire, Prime Minister Prono said to the Elven Empress Brina in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, this time, the six orc nations have gathered at least more than 30 million army troops and at least tens of thousands of warplanes to launch the so-called winter offensive in the occupied area of our elven army.
Under the powerful offensive of the orc army, some towns in the occupied area have been recaptured by the orc army, and the armies of our three elven countries have suffered a lot of losses. ”
Elven Empress Brina sighed, "How is the situation on the front line now?" ”
Prime Minister Prono then said: "It's a bit bad, the defense line of our elven army is still being forced to move back.
Although our three elven nations have sent additional reinforcements to the front line, this time the six orc nations have gathered too many troops. ”
Elven Empress Brina pondered for a moment and said, "Prono, there are some ministers who are proposing peace talks with the six orc nations, what do you think about this?" ”
Prime Minister Prono hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, at present, our three elven countries actually have an advantage in terms of navy.
In the three large-scale naval battles, the warships of our three elven nations were all less than the navies of the six orc nations.
However, because of the huge navy of the Han and Tang Empires, the navies of our three elven countries have never dared to really start a decisive battle with the combined fleet of the beast navy.
In that case, the entire sea of the New World would be completely controlled by the navy of the Han and Tang Empires.
In terms of the army, judging from the current situation, our three elf countries are at a disadvantage, if it weren't for the air force of our three elf countries that is still powerful, maybe the winter offensive launched by the beast clan alliance will have greater results. ”
"So, Prono, you're also in favor of peace talks with the six orc nations?"
"Your Majesty, the six beast nations are more united than we thought, and the military strength of the six beast nations is stronger than we expected.
Not to mention regaining the entire Spirit Continent now, even if you want to carve up the Flying Leopard Empire, it is already difficult to achieve.
It is better to take advantage of the fact that the armies of our three elven countries still occupy millions of square kilometers of territory in the Flying Leopard Empire, and choose to negotiate peace with the six orc countries, so that our three elven countries can at least keep part of the results. ”
"Can the six orc countries, especially the Flying Leopard Empire, agree?"
"If it's just the Flying Leopard Empire, of course it won't agree to cede territory to our three elven countries.
However, there are five other orc countries now, and those five orc countries should not be willing to fight with our three elven countries to defeat both. ”
The Elven Empress Brianna sighed and said, "It's really a little unwilling!
If the armies of the Light Elf Empire and the Dark Elf Empire could be a little stronger, how could they become what they are now. ”
In the past ten years, the Light Elf Empire and the Dark Elf Empire have invested a lot of money in the navy and air force in order not to fall behind in the arms race, resulting in the military spending of the Light Elf Empire and the Dark Elf Empire being continuously compressed in the past ten years.
As a result, when it came to the battlefield, the armies of the Light Elf Empire and the Dark Elf Empire were very unsatisfactory.
For example, the armies of the Light Elf Empire and the Dark Elf Empire are also equipped with many first-generation main battle tanks.
Although these two elven countries have independently developed third-generation main battle tanks, the armies of the two elven countries are only equipped with a small number of third-generation main battle tanks, which are basically dominated by first-generation main battle tanks and second-generation main battle tanks, and even the former has more than the latter.
The situation of weapons and equipment is only one aspect, the key is that the land forces of the Light Elf Empire and the Dark Elf Empire, in terms of combat will, can not be compared with more than ten years ago, and the army units of these two elf countries, the casualties are not even two percent, and there will be a collapse.
You must know that the army units of the six orc countries, even if the casualties exceed seventy percent, can still fight to the death without retreating.
Relatively speaking, whether it is in terms of weapons and equipment, or in terms of the will to fight, the army of the Natural Elf Empire is much stronger.
It's a pity that her teammates are not strong, and the army of the Natural Elf Empire alone can't single-handedly take on the coalition of six orc countries, which makes the Elf Empress Brina, extinguish her dream of regaining the Spirit Continent for the entire Elf Clan, and has to face reality.
In the palace of Noria City, the first capital of the Golden Lion Empire, Prime Minister Salento excitedly said to Emperor Kosno: "Your Majesty, those three elven nations really can't hold out under the winter offensive of our six-nation alliance.
The Nature Elf Empire has conveyed to our Golden Lion Empire its desire to have peace talks. ”
When Emperor Kosno heard that the Nature Elf Empire was willing to negotiate peace, he couldn't help but snort coldly: "These elves, if they don't hurt them, they won't sit down at the negotiating table."
If it weren't for the Han and Tang Empires watching over me, I would have to teach these three elven countries a hard lesson. ”
The winter offensive launched by the Orc Coalition was led by the Golden Lion Empire, and the purpose was to promote peace.
Although it has only been half a year since the Golden Lion Empire joined this war, the Golden Lion Empire has spent more than 40 billion silver coins for this war, which makes the little money that the Golden Lion Empire has saved is about to be exhausted.
Therefore, in order to end this war as soon as possible and force the three elven countries to sit at the negotiating table, the Golden Lion Empire spared no effort to launch this winter offensive.
"Your Majesty, in the next negotiations, I'm afraid that the three elven countries will not agree to give up all the territory of the Flying Leopard Empire."
"The most important thing now is to end this war, even if it costs the Flying Leopard Empire some benefits."
"Your Majesty, the minister is worried that the Flying Leopard Empire will not agree."
"The Flying Leopard Empire must agree that for the sake of the big picture, the Flying Leopard Empire should make some sacrifices.
There is no eternal enemy in the world, and after the armistice agreement is signed, the three elven countries will be brought back to the nine-nation military alliance as much as possible.
Without the help of the three elven countries, relying only on our six elven nations would not be the opponent of the Han and Tang Empires at all. ”
"Your Majesty is wise, and the minister also thinks so.
Only when our six spirit nations and three elven nations join forces can we suppress the Han and Tang Empires. ”
"Bang-" Tasik, the emperor of the Flying Leopard Empire, almost smashed the solid wood table into pieces with a single punch, "Why should we let the Flying Leopard Empire take care of the overall situation?"
Why should we make sacrifices for the Flying Leopard Empire?
What if I don't agree? ”
The Emperor of the Flying Leopard Empire, Tasik, was a bronze warrior, equivalent to a grandmaster warrior, so he was able to smash the solid wood table with one punch.
The Nature Elf Empire has revealed the bottom line of ending the war to the Golden Lion Empire, that is, the Flying Leopard Empire must cede the three provinces of the New World, as well as the remaining 600,000 square kilometers of territory in the province of Yanecod.
The Flying Leopard Empire originally had 5 provinces in the New World, with a total area of about 8.8 million square kilometers, but most of the territory of the largest province of Yanecod had been donated to many countries by the Flying Leopard Empire for free, and the Flying Leopard Empire only had 600,000 square kilometers left.
If the Flying Leopard Empire accepts the conditions offered by the Nature Elf Empire, then the territory of the Flying Leopard Empire in the New World will be drastically reduced to 1 province, and the area will only be more than 1 million square kilometers.
Prime Minister Mufero said bitterly: "Your Majesty, although the Golden Lion Empire is only persuading our Flying Leopard Empire to accept the conditions offered by the Nature Spirit Empire, the meaning of the threat is very obvious.
Once our Flying Leopard Empire rejects the conditions offered by the Nature Elf Empire, the Golden Lion Empire is likely to withdraw its troops from our Flying Leopard Empire. ”
"The Golden Lion Empire will withdraw its troops as soon as it withdraws, can't we still drive the elven army out of our Flying Leopard Empire with the strength of our remaining five Spirit Clan countries?"
"This ...... I'm afraid it really can't, without the Air Force and Navy of the Golden Lion Empire, air and sea supremacy may be completely controlled by the elven army. ”
When Emperor Tasik heard this, he was immediately deflated, "But once we accept the armistice conditions offered by the Nature Spirit Empire, our Flying Leopard Empire will completely lose millions of square kilometers of territory in the New World.
That's not tens of thousands of square kilometers! And not hundreds of thousands of square kilometers! That's millions of square kilometers! ”
"Your Majesty, at least on this side of the Spirit Continent, our Flying Leopard Empire can be restored to its pre-war level.
In order to end this war, it is inevitable for the Golden Lion Empire to betray the interests of our Flying Leopard Empire, and the minister is worried that if our Flying Leopard Empire does not agree, the Golden Lion Empire will persuade other spirit countries to force our Flying Leopard Empire to agree.
The minister believed that after the armistice agreement was signed, the Golden Lion Empire might mention the re-establishment of the military alliance of the Nine Nations. ”
"What? Let those three elven nations rejoin the Nine Nations Military Alliance?
No way! I don't agree! This is simply an insult to our Flying Leopard Empire! ”
Prime Minister Mufero sighed and said, "Your Majesty, with the current situation of our Flying Leopard Empire, if you say it, the Golden Lion Empire will not consider it.
What's more, in order to deal with the threat from the Han and Tang Empires, our six spirit nations can only join forces with the three elf countries. ”
Emperor Tasik then was silent for a long time before he slowly asked, "How are the three Jaguar-class aircraft carriers repaired?" Is it possible to go to sea to fight? ”
Prime Minister Mufero was stunned at first when he heard this, wondering why Emperor Tasik suddenly shifted the topic to the three Jaguar-class aircraft carriers.
Originally, the navy of the Flying Leopard Empire was equipped with 6 Jaguar-class aircraft carriers with a full load displacement of 305,000 tons, and in the surprise attack of the navies of the three elven countries, 3 of the Jaguar-class aircraft carriers were directly sunk, and the remaining 3 Jaguar-class aircraft carriers were also seriously injured.
"Your Majesty, there should have been 2 Jaguar-class aircraft carriers that should have been repaired, but due to the bombing of enemy fighters, one of the Jaguar-class aircraft carriers that was about to be repaired was damaged again, so now only 1 Jaguar-class aircraft carrier in our Royal Navy of the Flying Leopard Empire has been repaired, and it is the Jaguar, the first ship of the Jaguar-class aircraft carrier."
Emperor Tasik immediately said viciously: "It's okay for us to let the Flying Leopard Empire take care of the overall situation, but before that, I have to get back a little interest."
Let the aircraft carrier Jaguar immediately go to the coast of the Bright Elf Empire and wait for the opportunity to bomb the coastal cities of the Bright Elf Empire. ”
Prime Minister Mufero smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, why bother? ”
"At least I want to let the people of our Flying Leopard Empire know that the carrier-based aircraft of our Royal Navy of the Flying Leopard Empire have also bombed the enemy's territory."
The slightly wayward behavior of the Emperor of the Flying Leopard Empire, Tasik, did not change the outcome of the Flying Leopard Empire's cession of a large part of the country.
Under pressure from the Golden Lion Empire and several other orc states, the Flying Leopard Empire finally accepted the armistice conditions offered by the three elven states, ceding the three provinces of the New World and the remaining territory of the province of Yanecode, adding up to about 5.4 million square kilometers.
The Flying Leopard Empire was then left in the New World, leaving only one province of Campente, with an area of about 1.6 million square kilometers.
What was unacceptable to the people of the Flying Leopard Empire was that not long after the armistice agreement was signed, the six orc countries and the three elven countries announced the reformation of the nine-nation military alliance.
