Chapter 346: Increase
In the early morning of May 3, 1577, in the bridge of the aircraft carrier Qingtian, the flagship of the First Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires, Liu Ergou, the commander of the First Fleet, handed the telegram in his hand forward, and then said to Wang Kui, the commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy: "Lao Wang, it has been confirmed that the combined fleet of the Nine Nations Navy has appeared in the port of Viernendo of the Black Bear Empire. ”
Wang Kui took the telegram, and after quickly reading it, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then said in a slightly calm tone: "After all, I didn't become a shrinking turtle."
I am ready to continue according to the original plan, order the main fleet to advance towards the Black Bear Empire's Pritz Harbor, and still use the Black Bear Empire's Pritz Harbor as a landing point.
Lao Liu, what do you think? ”
Liu Ergou was not only the commander of the First Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires, but also the deputy commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires.
This time, the army of the Han and Tang Empires, preparing to land on the coast of the Black Bear Empire, will be jointly commanded by Wang Kui and Liu Ergou, and the aircraft carrier Qingtian has also become the general headquarters of all participating troops.
"Lao Wang, do you mean to wait for the combined fleet of the Nine Nations Navy to take the initiative to send it to the door?"
Wang Kui nodded, "The terrain around Pritz Harbor is the most suitable for landing operations.
Although we also hope to completely wipe out the combined fleet of the Nine Nations Navy through the landing this time, the landing must be successful, so that the 30 Marine Divisions of the Royal Navy and the 30 garrison divisions of the Royal Army can seize a foothold along the coast of the Black Bear Empire, so that the follow-up units of the Royal Army can open up a second battlefield in the Black Bear Empire. ”
Liu Ergou agreed: "I feel okay!
The Nine Nations Navy Combined Fleet is to prevent our Han and Tang Dynasty troops from landing on the coast of the Black Bear Empire this time, no matter where we choose as the landing site, the Nine Nations Navy Combined Fleet will also have to rush over.
Without the blocking of the combined fleet of the nine-nation navy, with the defensive forces of Port Preitz, it would not be enough to cause any trouble to the landing force. ”
Wang Kui continued: "Lao Liu, I am going to divide the 13 main fleets into two parts, a small part to assist the landing force to carry out a beach-grabbing landing, and the main force will start a decisive battle with the combined fleet of the nine-nation navy. ”
Now the 13 main fleets of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires have all been assembled, and some warships have been temporarily transferred from various garrison fleets to strengthen the aircraft carrier formations of each main fleet.
As a result, the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires gathered 867 aircraft carriers, 1,068 missile battleships, 428 missile battle cruisers, 2,206 missile cruisers, 3,100 missile destroyers, 3,982 missile frigates, 1,880 attack submarines, 80 helicopter carriers, 530 dock landing ships, and 426 amphibious assault ships.
The 80 helicopter aircraft carriers are all Izumo-class helicopter carriers of Dongying Province driven by Zhou Rui from the lottery system, with a full load displacement of 26,000 tons, a maximum speed of 30 knots, and can carry 14 helicopters.
Because at the same time as the Izumo-class helicopter carrier of the Toei Kingdom was opened in the lottery system, an amphibious assault ship was also launched, so the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires did not imitate the helicopter aircraft carrier, but directly began to imitate the upgraded version of the helicopter aircraft carrier - amphibious assault ship.
At present, the entire Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires only has these 80 Izumo-class helicopter carriers of the Toei Kingdom that were driven out of the lottery system, which were originally assigned to the garrison fleets, but this time they were all transferred to the main fleet.
Liu Ergou pondered for a while and said, "Then let the Eighth Fleet and the Twelfth Fleet go to assist the landing force in landing on the beach!"
With the assistance of 2 main fleets, it should be possible to suppress the enemy's air force. ”
Wang Kui said with a smile: "Lao Liu, why don't you lead the First Fleet to suppress the landing force!"
To deal with the combined fleet of the navies of the nine countries, it is enough for me alone. ”
"Lao Wang, you old boy wants to eat alone, it's absolutely not okay, after so many years, I finally waited for it, this decisive battle, I Liu Ergou said that I have to participate!"
"Hehe, I'm kidding you, with such a big formation, how can you be without you, the lucky general of the Royal Navy.
However, most of the 13th Fleet are the officers and men and warships of the original Liang Yan Navy, so should the 13th Fleet and the Eighth Fleet be replaced? ”
"Sun Baogang, the commander of the 13th Fleet, wrote a letter of request for war on behalf of the entire fleet, and I think this battle is an opportunity for the 13th Fleet to completely integrate into our Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires.
Moreover, the 13th Fleet is currently the fleet with the largest number of aircraft carriers among the 13 main fleets, and the 13th Fleet is indispensable for a decisive battle with the combined fleets of the navies of the nine countries. ”
The original 140 aircraft carriers of the Liangyan Imperial Navy, including 20 Hive-class aircraft carriers, 20 Eagle's Nest-class aircraft carriers, 20 Shanfeng-class aircraft carriers, 40 River-class aircraft carriers, and 40 Lake-class aircraft carriers, are all currently classified into the sequence of the 13th Fleet.
The number of aircraft carriers in the other 12 main fleets of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires is between 50 and 70.
In the bridge of the aircraft carrier Huhu, the flagship of the thirteenth fleet of the Han and Tang Empires, after Sun Baogang received a telegram jointly sent by Wang Kui and Liu Ergou, his face couldn't help but show excitement, "Finally, we can fight with the combined fleet of the nine navies!" ”
The Lakes aircraft carrier is the No. 1 ship of the Lakes class aircraft carrier with a full load displacement of 278,000 tons, which can carry 192 carrier-based fighters, 6 AWACS aircraft, 6 electronic warfare aircraft, 12 anti-submarine helicopters and 4 rescue helicopters.
Due to the limited production of the original Liangyan Empire's White Eagle class carrier-based fighters and Black Eagle class carrier-based fighters, some of the 40 Lake-class aircraft carriers equipped with carrier-based fighters are Tomcat fighters and Hornet fighters currently used in large quantities by the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires.
Another 40 River-class aircraft carriers with a full load displacement of 135,000 tons, carrier-based fighters have also been replaced by Tomcat fighters and Hornet fighters.
There are only 20 Honeycomb-class aircraft carriers with a full load displacement of 25,000 tons, 20 Eagle's Nest-class aircraft carriers with a full load displacement of 4.2 tons, and 20 Shanfeng-class aircraft carriers with a full load displacement of 5.8 tons, which are still equipped with the previous third-generation carrier-based fighters.
Zhang Qiang, the captain of the Lake, asked excitedly: "Commander, has the command agreed to let our Thirteenth Fleet participate in the war?" ”
It was really the scale of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires that had gathered too much this time, and it also had to cover millions of marines and millions of army units to land on the beach.
Therefore, Sun Baogang and Zhang Qiang have been worried that in the next decisive battle with the combined fleet of the nine navies, their thirteenth fleet will act as spectators.
Sun Baogang smiled, "Let's not talk about anything else in our Thirteenth Fleet, that is, there are 140 aircraft carriers, and the command should not let our Thirteenth Fleet be a spectator."
Immediately pass on this good news and tell the commanders of the aircraft carrier formations that in the next decisive battle with the combined fleet of the nine navies, if anyone drops the chain, Lao Tzu will pick his skin when he goes back! ”
Zhang Qiang, the captain of the Huhu, is actually the same as Sun Baogang, who is also an undercover personnel sent by the Royal Intelligence Bureau of the Han and Tang Empires to the former Liangyan Empire, and the commanders of the current aircraft carrier formations of the 13th Fleet are also subordinate to the Royal Intelligence Bureau of the Han and Tang Empires.
In the bridge of the missile battleship of the Royal Navy of the Golden Lion Empire, Mitenia, the Minister of the Navy of the Golden Lion Empire, said in a deep voice to the naval commanders of the other eight countries: "According to the reconnaissance of military satellites, the main force of the Han and Tang Empire's navy has not turned to the side of Port Viernando.
The landing site chosen by the Han and Tang troops was most likely the Black Bear Empire's Puerto Prez. ”
As soon as Mitnia's words fell, the Black Bear Empire's Admiralty Lord Zhelund sighed and said, "It should be the port of Pritz."
The coastal area of our Black Bear Empire, the terrain around Port Pritz, is the most suitable for beach-grabbing landing operations.
If the combined fleet of the navies of the nine countries does not rush to the port of Pritz to support, with the defensive strength of the port of Prize, it will not be able to resist the landing of the Han and Tang armies at all. ”
The Natural Elf Empire's Navy Marshal Bao Lianka said loudly: "Since the main force of the Han and Tang Empire's navy has come, then our Nine Nations Navy Combined Fleet has no other choice.
I propose that the combined fleet of the navies of the nine countries immediately go to the port of Pritz and have a decisive battle with the main forces of the Han and Tang Imperial Navy! ”
The Golden Lion Empire's Admiralty Minister Mitenia then asked, "Do the others have any objections?" ”
The commanders of the navies of various countries looked at each other and agreed to go to the port of Pritz to fight a decisive battle with the main naval forces of the Han and Tang Empires.
The Minister of the Navy of the Golden Lion Empire, Mitenia, nodded, the navies of various countries gathered here just to fight to the death with the main force of the Han and Tang Empire navies, of course, no naval commander of any country would raise an objection.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the first high-level meeting of our nine-nation naval joint fleet since its formation, and I would like to know whether the navies of each country have sent the strongest forces of each navy in accordance with the commitments made at the Prime Minister's Meeting.
In addition, if the navy of any country has sent more warships, please say it here, so that I have a bottom in my heart.
On the basis of the commitment, the Royal Navy of the Golden Lion Empire has sent 8 additional escort aircraft carriers converted from ocean-going freighters, and these 8 escort aircraft carriers carry a total of 226 vertical take-off and landing carrier-based fighters.
Here I would like to thank the Red Tiger Empire for sharing various technologies of vertical take-off and landing carrier-based fighters, so that our Royal Navy of the Golden Lion Empire can send 8 more escort aircraft carriers to participate in the next decisive battle with the main force of the Han and Tang Empire Navy. ”
The Red Tiger Empire's Navy Minister Critzer said at this time: "Our Red Tiger Empire shares the technology of vertical take-off and landing carrier-based fighters, which is to hope that our navies can have more carrier-based aircraft when they have a decisive battle with the main naval force of the Han and Tang Empires.
It's a pity that our Red Tiger Empire developed vertical take-off and landing carrier-based fighters a little late, and it is impossible for the navies of various countries to have more vertical take-off and landing carrier-based fighters.
However, at present, the Royal Navy of the Red Tiger Empire has renovated 24 escort aircraft carriers, which can carry a total of 720 Eagle Tiger vertical take-off and landing carrier-based fighters, and now these 24 escort aircraft carriers have arrived at the port of Vienando.
In addition, according to the agreement of the Prime Minister's Council, the Royal Navy of the Red Tiger Empire also sent 80 aircraft carriers, 72 missile battleships, 32 missile battle cruisers, 60 missile cruisers, 80 missile destroyers, 80 missile frigates, 36 attack submarines, and 200 supply ships this time. ”
Next, the commanders of the navies of the other 4 beast countries spoke one after another, in addition to the warships promised by the Prime Minister's Council, the Black Bear Empire sent 3 additional escort aircraft carriers, which can carry 106 vertical take-off and landing carrier-based fighters.
The Silver Wolf Empire has sent 4 additional escort aircraft carriers, which can carry 120 vertical take-off and landing carrier-based fighters.
The Flying Leopard Empire has sent an additional escort aircraft carrier, which can carry 22 vertical take-off and landing carrier-based fighters.
The Wild Bull Empire has sent 5 additional escort aircraft carriers, which can carry 142 vertical take-off and landing carrier-based fighters.
The Admiral of the Nature Elf Empire, Bolianka, then said, "Our Majesty the Empress of the Nature Elf Empire attaches great importance to this decisive battle between the combined fleet of the Nine Nations Navy and the main force of the Han and Tang Empire Navy.
The navy of our Nature Elf Empire, on the basis of the promise of the Prime Minister's Council, has sent an additional 30 escort aircraft carriers, 40 missile cruisers, 60 missile destroyers and 60 missile frigates.
Another 30 escort carriers can carry a total of 1,080 vertical take-off and landing carrier-based fighters. ”
Hearing that the Natural Spirit Empire had taken out 30 escorts and 1,080 vertical take-off and landing carrier-based fighters this time, the Golden Lion Empire's Admiral Minister Mitenia and the Red Tiger Empire's Admiral Minister Kriezer couldn't help but exchange glances.
Both of them were slightly shocked by the powerful manufacturing capabilities of the Nature Elf Empire.
You must know that the vertical take-off and landing carrier-based fighter was developed by the Red Tiger Empire, and the Red Tiger Empire is now doing its best to come up with 24 escort aircraft carriers and 720 vertical take-off and landing carrier-based fighters.
The Admiral of the Bright Elf Empire, Peter Ye, immediately said: "Our Majesty the Empress of the Bright Elf Empire also attaches great importance to this decisive battle with the main naval force of the Han and Tang Empires.
On the basis of the commitment made at the Prime Minister's Meeting, our Bright Elf Empire Navy has sent 12 additional escort aircraft carriers, 20 missile cruisers, 20 missile destroyers and 20 missile frigates, and 12 escort aircraft carriers can carry 360 vertical take-off and landing carrier-based fighters. ”
Dark Elf Imperial Admiral Plott continued: "Our Dark Elf Imperial Navy has sent 8 additional escort aircraft carriers, which can carry a total of 240 vertical take-off and landing carrier-based fighters. ”
The Golden Lion Empire's Admiral Minister Mitenia put down the pen in his hand, looked at the notebook that had just recorded the data, and said, "Our combined fleet of the nine navies is stronger than expected.
At present, the combined fleet of the nine navies of the nine countries has a total of 811 aircraft carriers, 95 escort aircraft carriers, 433 missile battleships, 98 missile battle cruisers, 1,014 missile cruisers, 1,464 missile destroyers, 1,574 missile frigates, and 663 attack submarines.
I believe that with the strength of our nine-nation naval combined fleet, we will definitely be able to defeat the main naval force of the Han and Tang Empires and wash away the shame of the previous two nine-nation naval combined fleets! ”
