In a tent in the counterinsurgency camp, Marquis Tanilla Blackac, the deputy commander of the Guards, took a few pieces of paper and reported to Duke Pankla Rodfili: "Duke, more than 75,000 troops have been killed in battle today.

Of these, our Guards lost about 50,000 men, the nobles' private troops about 19,000, and the Duke's troops about 6,000. ”

Hearing that the Guards Regiment and the private soldiers of his own territory had lost 56,000 people in one day, Duke Pankla's brows couldn't help frowning, "What about the losses of the rebels?" ”

Marquis Tanilla hesitated for a moment and said, "Although there is no specific data, the losses of the rebels will definitely far exceed ours.

Moreover, as soon as the rebels came up today, they were almost exhausted, so the casualties of several troops with strong combat effectiveness under the princess should be more serious. ”

When Duke Pankra heard that the other party's losses were even greater, his brows couldn't help but stretch again, "If it weren't for the 30,000, 50,000 and 80,000 teams of the Guards Legion, they would have chosen to stand on the opposite side of Duke Ben.

Maybe in today's battle, we counterinsurgents will be able to crush the rabble that my niece has formed.

I'd like to see how many days the rabble can hold on? ”

Early in the morning of May 6, 3312 A.D., when the rebel army led by the Duke of Pankla began to line up on the plain outside the town of Harvest.

Hundreds of tanks and hundreds of armored vehicles of the Royal Army of the Han and Tang Empires, as well as a large number of infantry responsible for covering, slowly pressed over.

Sun Huimin, the commander of the 45th Garrison Division of the Luoshan Military Region of the Royal Army of the Han and Tang Empires, put down the binoculars in his hand, turned his head and said to an adjutant behind him: "Pass my order, open the cannon!" ”

After Sun Huimin's order was issued, the artillery units of the two forbidden army reinforcement regiments and three garrison divisions of the Han and Tang Imperial Army began to launch the most fierce artillery bombardment against the counterinsurgents who were lining up.

Dense shells rained down on the ranks of the counterinsurgents, and they were blinded at once.

As the counter-insurgents were marching in formation, the soldiers were densely gathered together, and the power of the shells could not help but increase many times, and almost every shell that fell could kill a large number of counterinsurgency soldiers.

Even the defensive magic unleashed by the magicians was not strong enough to withstand large-caliber shells.

Today, the garrison divisions of the Royal Army of the Han and Tang Empires are not only the same as the infantry divisions in the group army, but even the number and type of artillery are on par with the infantry divisions in the group army.

The artillery brigade under the garrison division is now equipped with 60 155-mm howitzers and 120 105-mm howitzers, just like the artillery brigade under the infantry division.

With the power of a 155mm howitzer, even the defensive magic cast by a level 7 mage will not work.

However, the defensive magic of the eighth-level magician can withstand a 155mm howitzer shell.

A 155mm howitzer shell exploded right in front of Duke Pankla, but due to the group defense magic of the eighth-level magician next to Duke Pankla, Duke Pankla didn't even scratch his skin at all.

It's just that this 155mm howitzer shell, the energy generated when it exploded, was released on the defensive magic of the eighth-level magician, causing the mana in the eighth-level magician's body to be consumed by almost half in an instant.

As one of the vice-captains of Duke Pankla's guard, this eighth-level magician still had a very thick background, so he immediately took out a small medicine bottle and drank all the potions in the small medicine bottle.

The potion is to replenish mana, and this small bottle of potion can quickly restore one-third of the mana power of this level 8 magician.

Although the 155mm howitzer shells did not cause any damage to the Duke of Pankla, the Duke of Pankla was already stupefied by the hellish sight in front of him.

When the 190,000 men of the Guards Regiment were routed by the 3 infantry battalions and 2 tank battalions of the forbidden army, they also suffered shelling, but most of the shelling came from the 88mm tank guns of the Tiger heavy tanks.

Therefore, although the Duke of Pankra knew that the army of another time and space had a weapon similar to a magic bullet, he didn't care too much.

"Duke, let's go!

The enemy's weapons are too powerful! Marquis Tanilla Blackark, deputy commander of the Guards, said with a look of horror on his face.

The Duke of Pankla also knew that he had to flee quickly.

Because at this time, the entire line of the counter-insurgency army had collapsed, and even the officers and soldiers of the Guards Corps began to flee for their lives, and the entire formation of the counter-insurgency army was already in chaos.

Duke Pankra gritted his teeth and said, "Pass my order, all troops retreat to Star-Moon City!" ”

With the collapse of the counterinsurgency, hundreds of tanks and hundreds of armored vehicles of the Royal Army of the Han and Tang Empires, under the cover of a large number of infantry, began to charge......

Princess Dai Bona and the nobles of the rebel army were already stunned at this time.

Marquis Danica Lopest muttered in disbelief: "So victorious? ”

The Marquis of Jim Garcikaya next to him was full of fear at this time, "I didn't expect that the army of the Han and Tang Empires would have such a devastating weapon.

If the Han and Tang Empires had any bad intentions for our entire Star and Moon Alliance, it would be a disaster. ”

The words of the Marquis of Jim Garcikaya made Princess Deborna and many nobles a little worried.

Princess Dai Baina and these nobles saw very clearly that the army of the Han and Tang Empire and the army of the Star and Moon Alliance were not on the same channel at all.

They didn't even know how they would resist the Han and Tang Empire's armies if they were to switch places with the rebels.

Princess Dai Bona took a deep breath, calmed down her emotions and said, "All cavalry units immediately attacked and cooperated with the army of the Han and Tang Empires to expand the results!" ”

From Harvest Town to Xingyue City, it is almost a flat river, and there is no danger to defend at all.

Therefore, the counterinsurgency army was defeated all the way, and in the end, the Duke of Pankla only took less than 70,000 men and retreated to Xingyue City, of which the cavalry accounted for most of them.

You must know that Xingyue City gathered 450,000 troops this time, except for the loss of 75,000 people on the first day, more than 300,000 officers and soldiers of the counterinsurgency army were either killed, captured, or dispersed.

As soon as Duke Pankra entered Star-Moon City, he couldn't help but cry bitterly.

Marquis Tanilla Blackark, the deputy commander of the Guards Legion, said comfortingly at this time: "Duke, our Guards Legion still has 2 full 10,000 troops in Starmoon City, plus we have brought back 60,000 or 70,000 people, we still have a chance to turn the tables."

Moreover, the walls of Star-Moon City are enough to resist the attack magic of eighth-level magicians, and presumably the terrifying weapons of the army of different time and space should not be able to destroy the walls of Star-Moon City. ”

Duke Pankra wiped his tears, gritted his teeth and said, "Tanira, don't worry, Duke Ben will not admit defeat so easily!"

Order the entire Star-Moon City to enter the first level of combat readiness, and recruit civilians to help defend the city! ”

In the palace of the Heavenly Saint City of the Han and Tang Empires, Zhou Rui couldn't help but be very surprised after receiving the battle report from Sun Huimin.

Unexpectedly, the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Duke of Pankla collapsed with a single artillery fire.

After Zhou Xiaorong, the commander of the Fengwu Military Region, learned of the results of this battle, he suggested to Zhou Rui: "Your Majesty, since the army on the side of the Continent of the Gods is so unbearable in combat, why don't we in the Han and Tang Empires pocket the entire Continent of the Gods?"

Just those gold mines in the Continent of the Gods can multiply the strength of our Han and Tang Empires. ”

Because the Continent of the Gods is rich in gold, the Han and Tang Empires used silver and steel to exchange more than 300,000 tons of gold from various noble lords of the Star and Moon Alliance in a short period of time.

Otherwise, greed is the original sin, and at present, many high-level leaders of the Han and Tang Empires have the idea of sending troops to the Continent of the Gods.

Zhou Rui said: "Now we don't know enough about the Continent of the Gods, and our Han and Tang Empire and the Nine Nations Military Alliance are still in the war period, as for whether to send troops to the Continent of the Gods, let's discuss it after the war with the Nine Nations Military Alliance is over!"

By the way, second uncle, has the time set for the departure of the landing force? ”

Zhou Xiaorong nodded and said, "It has been set for the 1st of next month." ”

"Is the landing site confirmed?"

Zhou Xiaorong shook his head, "Guan Guoren and Song Limin are still a little hesitant about a few alternative landing sites. ”

"Then let them go for brain cells! I'm just waiting to receive the report of the successful landing! ”

Before Zhou Xiaorong left, Kang Huai, the minister of the Ministry of Industry of the Han and Tang Empires, came to see Zhou Rui.

"Minister Kang, you have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, did you come to me today to ask for money?" Zhou Rui said to Kang Huai with a smile.

When Kang Huai heard the emperor say this, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, as if every time he took the initiative to come to the emperor, he came to the emperor to ask for money.

Kang Huai coughed slightly, relieving his embarrassment, "Your Majesty, the minister is here this time to discuss with Your Majesty the matter of building 60 new aircraft carriers and 40 super battleships. ”

Zhou Rui was stunned when he heard this, "Minister Kang, hasn't the first fund for the construction of these 60 new aircraft carriers and 40 super battleships, including the funds for the renovation of the dock, already been allocated to the six major shipyards?" ”

Kang Huai hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, it's not a matter of funds, it's a matter of design drawings. ”

Zhou Rui frowned, "What's wrong with the design drawings?" Could it be that there is something wrong with the design drawings? ”

"Your Majesty, the Ship Design Bureau of the Ganyang Shipyard has made a new design drawing for the new aircraft carrier and the super battleship.

Chen felt that if it was built according to the new design drawings, the new aircraft carrier and super battleship could have more powerful combat effectiveness. ”

"New design drawings? Did you bring new data? ”

"Your Majesty, the minister brought it."

After reading the data of the two warships newly designed by the Ship Design Bureau of Ganyang Shipyard, Zhou Rui couldn't help but shake his head, could it be that even those designers of the Ship Design Bureau of Ganyang Shipyard knew that I had made a windfall?

Originally, the new aircraft carrier had a full load displacement of 59,500 tons, which is already close to catching up with the full load displacement of the American Midway-class aircraft carriers.

The newly designed aircraft carrier of the Ship Design Bureau of Ganyang Shipyard has a full load displacement of up to 115,000 tons, a designed maximum speed of 30 knots, and a crew of 3,550 people.

The waterline armor belt was 120 mm to 150 mm thick, the flight deck armor was 120 mm thick, and the hangar deck armor was 120 mm thick.

It is equipped with 20 100-mm high-level guns, 80 40-mm anti-aircraft guns, 50 30-mm anti-aircraft guns, and 50 13-mm anti-aircraft machine guns.

It can be equipped with 80 Wildcat fighters, 80 dreadnought dive bombers and 80 Avenger torpedo attack aircraft.

Originally, the cost of the new aircraft carrier was only a little more than 40 million silver coins, but the cost of the newly designed aircraft carrier soared to 110 million silver coins.

The original super-battleship had a full-load displacement of 135,000 tons, and the newly designed super-battleship of the Ganyang Shipyard Ship Design Bureau increased its full-load displacement by 11,000 tons to 146,000 tons.

The main reason is to change the original five triple 45 times the caliber 500 mm main gun to five triple 500 mm guns, so that the effective firing distance of the main gun has become farther.

In addition, the power system of the super battleship has been optimized, and the maximum speed has been increased to 30 knots.

The rest of the armament and armor have not changed much.

The cost of the newly designed Super Battleship has increased from 130 million silver coins to 150 million silver coins.

"With a full load displacement of 115,000 tons, it can be called a supercarrier, but the cost of this supercarrier is a bit high.

The most powerful weapon of an aircraft carrier is a carrier-based aircraft, and the new aircraft carrier originally designed can carry 144 carrier-based aircraft, at a cost of 40 million silver coins.

The new supercarrier, costing as much as 110 million silver coins, carries 240 carrier-based aircraft, how can I feel that the new supercarrier is a little uneconomical. ”

Kang Huai hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the newly designed aircraft carrier has stronger survivability, even if it is hit by multiple torpedoes and multiple aerial bombs, it is difficult for this supercarrier to be sunk."

What's more, such an aircraft carrier with a full load displacement of up to 115,000 tons will definitely continue to be used even if the fighters are upgraded in the future. ”

"It seems that you came here to fight the autumn wind because you knew that I had made a windfall, right?"

"Hehe, Your Majesty, the minister also hopes to build a more combat-effective warship for the Imperial Royal Navy!"

"Fifty times the caliber of 500 mm naval guns, has the Ganyang Arsenal developed it?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the Ganyang Arsenal has successfully developed a 500-caliber naval gun, otherwise the designers of the Ship Design Bureau of the Ganyang Shipyard would not have upgraded the main gun of the super battleship from 500 mm in 45 times the caliber to 500 mm in 500 mm in 50 times the calibre.

Of course, in order to keep up with the speed of the supercarrier, this super battleship needs to be equipped with a more powerful steam turbine, so the cost has increased by about 20 million silver coins. ”

"There won't be any problems with the new design drawings, right?

After all, the displacement of these two warships is more than 100,000 tons, and we have never built such a large warship before. ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, it has been demonstrated many times, and there will definitely be no major problems."

"Oh well! We will increase the funding for the six major shipyards to build according to the new design drawings.

However, I asked for the number of supercarriers to be built from 60 to 80, and the number of superbattleships to be built from 40 to 80. ”
