Chapter 328: An Unexpected Event

In the largest shipyard of the Nature Elf Empire, Admiral Bolenka pointed to a giant aircraft carrier and introduced to the Elven Empress Brina: "Your Majesty, this is our Navy's newest Warrior Spirit class aircraft carrier, with a full load displacement of 353,000 tons and a maximum speed of 30 knots.

It can carry 124 Aster fighters, 124 Magnolia fighters, 4 AWACS aircraft, 6 electronic warfare aircraft, 12 anti-submarine helicopters and 4 rescue helicopters.

It is equipped with 10 sets of eight short-range anti-aircraft missile launchers with semi-active radar guidance, 8 phalanx with 6-barreled 20-mm rapid-fire guns, as well as torpedo defense systems, jamming rocket launchers and various radar installations.

The comprehensive combat effectiveness of the Warrior Spirit class aircraft carriers far exceeds that of the modernized Wood Spirit-class aircraft carriers. ”

The Wood Spirit class aircraft carrier is a super aircraft carrier that the Nature Elf Empire began to build during the last war with the Han and Tang Empires, with a full load displacement of 362,000 tons and a total of 30 ships.

Today, the 30 Wood Spirit-class aircraft carriers have been modernized by the Nature Elf Empire at a huge cost, adding a large number of ship electronic weapon systems, but the performance of their ship electronic weapon systems is somewhat worse than that of the latest War Spirit-class aircraft carriers.

The carrier-based aircraft configuration of the Muling-class aircraft carrier is similar to that of the Muling-class aircraft carrier, except that it lacks 2 electronic warfare aircraft and 2 anti-submarine helicopters.

The two carrier-based fighters equipped with the Muling-class aircraft carrier and the Battle-Spirit class aircraft carrier are both fourth-generation fighters, of which the Aster fighter mainly focuses on air defense, interception, and reconnaissance missions.

The Magnolia fighter mainly focuses on the mission of striking enemy ships, as well as carrying out air-to-ground attack missions.

After the war, the Nature Elf Empire also built a Tuling-class aircraft carrier with a full load displacement of 106,000 tons, a total of 60 ships were built in three batches.

At present, in the naval sequence of the Nature Spirit Empire, in addition to 60 Earth Spirit-class aircraft carriers and 30 Wood Spirit-class aircraft carriers, there are also 32 modernized Water Spirit-class aircraft carriers.

In addition, the Nature Elf Empire also has 40 modernized Spirit-class aircraft carriers, and 50 modernized Spirit-class aircraft carriers, which have been mothballed.

Elven Empress Brianna asked in a deep voice, "When will the Spirit-class aircraft carrier be fully completed?" ”

Admiral Bolinka said, "Our five shipyards in the Nature Elf Empire have built a total of 20 Wood Spirit-class aircraft carriers at the same time.

Starting next month, 20 Wood Spirit-class aircraft carriers will be delivered to our Navy one after another, and by the end of this year, all 20 Wood Spirit-class aircraft carriers will be in service. ”

The Elven Empress Brina then turned to Prime Minister Prono, who was following her, and said, "Speed up the construction of the five shipyards as much as possible." ”

Prime Minister Prono nodded solemnly: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

Admiral Bolenka hesitated at this time and asked, "Your Majesty, the minister takes the liberty of asking, is there something wrong?" ”

Elven Empress Brina sighed and said, "Marshal Bolenka, our natural elven empire has gone through more than ten years of arms race, and the empire's finances are already a little unbearable.

If the arms race continues, without even going to war with the Han and Tang Empires, the empire's finances will collapse.

So before the empire's finances collapse, our natural elf empire can only gamble once. ”

When Admiral Bolianka heard this, he couldn't help but say worriedly: "Your Majesty, although on the surface, the navies of our three elf countries and six beast nations have joined together and have steadily suppressed the navy of the Han and Tang Empires.

However, the navy of the Han and Tang Empires often hides part of its strength, and the first two fiascos of the combined fleet of the nine navies were all because of this reason.

And the Han and Tang empires were always able to surprise, such as fourth-generation fighters.

In order to control the air supremacy of future wars, our Nature Elf Empire has invested heavily in the development of fourth-generation fighters.

As a result, the fourth-generation fighter of our Natural Elf Empire is still in the design and development stage, and the air force of the Han and Tang Empires has already been equipped with fourth-generation fighters.

You must know that the Han and Tang Empires have never revealed that they will develop fourth-generation fighters, and the earliest fourth-generation fighters of the Han and Tang Empires seem to have appeared out of thin air. ”

Elf Empress Brina shook her head and said, "Marshal Bolianka, don't worry, our natural elven empire is not ready to put the bet on the Han and Tang Empire this time.

In the face of the Han and Tang Empires, which had huge war potential, no one was willing to take the initiative to provoke. ”

"The bet is not on the Han and Tang Empires?

Your Majesty, is she preparing to make a move against a certain orc country? Admiral Bolenka asked in surprise.

Elven Empress Brina nodded, "The Light Elf Empire and the Dark Elf Empire have agreed to join forces with our Natural Elf Empire to carve up the Flying Leopard Empire!" ”

Admiral Bolenka's brows furrowed slightly, "Your Majesty, with the military strength of our three elven countries, it is not difficult to carve up the Flying Leopard Empire.

But what about the other five orc nations?

The minister is worried that it will cause an all-out war between our elves and beasts. ”

Prime Minister Prono said at this time: "Since our elven clan was driven out of the Spirit Continent by the beast clan more than 400 years ago, our three elven countries have been thinking about counterattacking the Spirit Continent all the time.

If the other five orc nations dare to intervene in the process of carving up the Flying Leopard Empire, then our three elven nations will unite and regain control of the entire Spirit Continent at all costs. ”

Then the Elven Empress Brianna said: "Now that our three elven countries have gone through more than ten years of arms competition, their military strength is no longer what it used to be, and the military strength of any elven country is not weaker than the Golden Lion Empire.

The military strength of the other five beast nations is far worse than that of the Golden Lion Empire.

Even if the Golden Lion Empire, the Red Tiger Empire, the Black Bear Empire, the Silver Wolf Empire, and the Wild Bull Empire dare to intervene, our three elven nations have a great chance of defeating the combined forces of these beast countries! ”

Hearing such a firm tone from the Elven Empress Brina, Admiral Bolenka muttered and said, "Your Majesty, if you are only dealing with the Flying Leopard Empire, you don't need all 20 War Spirit class aircraft carriers to be commissioned at all.

Of course, if you want to go to war with all the orc countries, it is best to wait for all 20 War Spirit class aircraft carriers to join our navy. ”

Elven Empress Brina said: "Maybe it won't be enough for all 20 War Spirit-class aircraft carriers to be commissioned, the financial situation of the Light Elf Empire and the Dark Elf Empire is even worse than our Natural Elf Empire, and both of them need to relieve the financial pressure through war." ”

Just when the Han and Tang Empires invested heavily in the mass production of fourth-generation fighters and third-generation main battle tanks to replace the third-generation fighters and second-generation main battle tanks, a major event suddenly occurred that surprised the entire Han and Tang Empires.

On May 1, 1576, the Nature Elf Empire, the Light Elf Empire, and the Dark Elf Empire brazenly launched an invasion of the Flying Leopard Empire, and the invasion was launched from both worlds at the same time.

On this side of the Western Continent, the three elven nations each occupy 300,000 square kilometers of territory in the former Yanecod Province of the Flying Leopard Empire.

On the side of the beast world, the three elven countries are still on the territory of the Flying Leopard Empire, each leasing 100,000 square kilometers of territory.

This makes it easy for the land forces of the three elven nations to invade the mainland of the Flying Leopard Empire.

As soon as the war began, the unprepared Flying Leopard Empire was defeated.

We are all allies of the Nine Nations Military Alliance, why are you here to invade our Flying Leopard Empire?

In the palace of Ilpe, the first capital of the Flying Leopard Empire, Emperor Tasik angrily asked Prime Minister Mufero, "What do other spirit nations say?" ”

Prime Minister Mufero sighed and said, "Your Majesty, both the Golden Lion Empire and the Red Tiger Empire have expressed strong condemnation of the invasion of our Flying Leopard Empire by the three elven countries.

The Black Bear Empire, the Wild Bull Empire, and the Flying Leopard Empire haven't made any announcements yet. ”

"Bang-" Emperor Tasic slammed the table, "I don't need any condemnation, and I don't need any statement!"

I need reinforcements now! Our Flying Leopard Empire needs reinforcements!

Immediately ask for help from the other five Spirit Race countries, this is no longer an ordinary invasion, this is the Spirit Race to counterattack the entire Spirit Continent! ”

Prime Minister Mufero then said, "Your Majesty, our Flying Leopard Empire has sent several requests for help to the other five Spirit Race countries, but including the Golden Lion Empire and the Red Tiger Empire, they all said that they need time to study. ”

Emperor Tasik shouted angrily: "Study again! The elven army is about to reach the city of Elpe! ”

Prime Minister Mufero said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, now that the Royal Army has carried out a comprehensive mobilization, I hope that it can temporarily block the attacking forces of the three elven countries.

However, because air supremacy has been firmly controlled by the air forces of the three elven countries, the battle situation is very unfavorable to our Flying Leopard Empire. ”

The Nature Elven Empire, the Light Elven Empire, and the Dark Elf Empire launched a saturation strike against the Flying Leopard Empire's air force and navy at the very beginning.

The main ships of the Flying Leopard Empire's navy include 6 aircraft carriers with a full load displacement of 305,000 tons and 6 missile battleships with a full load displacement of 153,000 tons.

6 aircraft carriers and 6 super battleships were built by the Flying Leopard Empire after the war, and they have been modernized in recent years, and their comprehensive combat effectiveness is not bad.

The Flying Leopard Empire is limited by funds, and has not built any capital ships in recent years except for these 12 capital ships.

However, the Flying Leopard Empire's navy has also added some cutting-edge warships in recent years, including 20 missile cruisers, 36 missile destroyers, 60 missile frigates and 32 attack submarines.

However, in the first wave of the offensive of the three elven countries, all 12 main warships of the Flying Leopard Empire Navy were sunk or seriously damaged.

Most of the other cutting-edge warships of the Flying Leopard Imperial Navy were also sunk, and even if they were not sunk, most of them were unable to fight for a short period of time, and only more than ten attack submarines escaped.

It can be said that as soon as the war broke out, the navy of the Flying Leopard Empire almost lost its combat effectiveness.

The air force of the Flying Leopard Empire is not much stronger than the navy of the Flying Leopard Empire.

At the beginning of the war, the air forces of the three elven countries launched air raids on all the military airfields of the Flying Leopard Empire.

Although the fighters of the Flying Leopard Empire have also taken to the air to meet the battle, the fighters equipped by the Flying Leopard Empire Air Force all belong to the third generation, and they have basically been pressed and beaten in the face of the fourth-generation fighters of the air forces of the three elven countries in the air battle.

Just 24 hours after the outbreak of the war, the fighters of the Flying Leopard Empire's air force had already lost more than 90 percent, and they were no longer able to compete with the air forces of the three elven countries for air supremacy.

Fortunately, the army of the Flying Leopard Empire is equipped with a lot of anti-aircraft missiles, which can pose some threats to the fourth-generation fighters of the air forces of the three elven countries, otherwise the current situation of the Flying Leopard Empire will be even worse.

Emperor Tasik gritted his teeth and said, "If it weren't for our Flying Leopard Empire, how could the three elven countries gain a foothold in the New World and obtain a large amount of iron ore.

I didn't expect those three elf countries to be ungrateful, and the current situation is obviously that those three elf countries want to carve up our Flying Leopard Empire. ”

Prime Minister Mufero said with a bitter face: "In order to block the attack of the Han and Tang armies, our Flying Leopard Empire made this decision, who would have thought that today's bitter fruit would be buried."

If the other five Spirit Nation stood by and watched, our Flying Leopard Empire would ...... But it's dangerous. ”

In the palace of Norya City, the first capital of the Golden Lion Empire, Emperor Cosno asked Prime Minister Salento in a deep voice, "How did the three elven countries reply?" ”

Prime Minister Salento said helplessly: "Your Majesty, it seems that those three elven countries are determined to carve up the Flying Leopard Empire.

Even if our Golden Lion Empire threatens war, the three elven nations will not agree to stop the attack on the Flying Leopard Empire. ”

Emperor Kosno was silent for a moment and then asked, "What is the attitude of the other four Spirit Race nations?" ”

Prime Minister Salento sighed and said, "Your Majesty, the other four Spirit Clan countries should be waiting for our Golden Lion Empire to make a statement!" ”

"Salento, what do you think about the invasion of the Flying Leopard Empire by the three elven nations?"

"Your Majesty, if those three elven nations only attack the territory of the Flying Leopard Empire in the New World, then our Golden Lion Empire can still choose to wait and see.

But now that the armies of the three elven countries have also launched an attack on the territory of the Flying Leopard Empire in the Spirit Continent, it is impossible for our Golden Lion Empire and the other four spirit nations to stay out of the situation.

You must know that more than 400 years ago, the masters of the entire Spirit Continent were not our beast clans, but those arrogant elves. ”

"I'm not afraid of a war with the three elven countries, but once that's the case, it will be tantamount to letting the Han and Tang Empires reap the benefits of the fisherman."

"Your Majesty, now you can only take care of the present, if the Flying Leopard Empire is divided by the three elven countries, the consequences will be unimaginable."
