The ownership of the Endless Strait is related to the core interests of the two great powers, which has led to the two countries fighting for the Endless Strait for hundreds of years, which has evolved into a feud.

In this case, if the Great Heng Empire wants to control the Endless Strait, then there must be a war with the Olisa Empire.

At the same time, because of the rise of the Great Heng Empire, on the one hand, the Krull Kingdom has carried out close business and trade with the Daheng Empire, but at the same time, it is also full of vigilance against the Daheng Empire.

And this is very obvious in their naval strategy, their naval shipbuilding plan is to press the Daheng Imperial Navy, otherwise why have they built so many battleships over the years?

It's not to deal with the challenges of other countries, after all, even the two traditional industrial powers, Kekel and the Valia Empire, although their navy size is not bad, but the scale of new warships is relatively limited, far less rapid than the development of the Daheng Empire's navy.

If it was simply to deal with the Kkael and the Valya Empire, even if the Gafia Empire and the Orissa Empire were added, the Krull Kingdom would not need to maintain such a large-scale shipbuilding plan.

The reason why they have such a large-scale shipbuilding plan is purely because the scale of the Daheng Empire's navy on the opposite side is getting bigger and bigger day by day.

During the Battle of Bova during the Lieji Incident, a new generation of high-freeboard hardened armored rapid-fire gunners composed of a series of Jingzhou-class battleships, Fengyang-class armored cruisers, and Klan-class armored cruisers of the Daheng Empire gave a great shock to the navy of the Krull Kingdom.

Let them know that the Endless Sea has welcomed a new, more powerful player.

And they soon discovered that they could not rely purely on the powerful industrial and economic strength to build many warships and overwhelm the Great Heng Empire with absolute warship superiority as they did in suppressing the navies of other countries.

Because the Great Heng Empire itself is a country with a huge volume and likes to pile up numbers.

Speaking of the number of ships built, although the Krull Kingdom is still more, it is not much more than the Great Heng Empire.

This can be seen from the number of cutting-edge warships of the two countries in service after the Battle of Bova in the 12th year of Qiansheng.

In the past three years, the Daheng Empire has successively commissioned the Gaoqing battleship, the Jinghe battleship, four Luohe-class battleships, two Fengshan-class battleships, and two Ningyu-class battleships.

There were as many as ten battleships alone!

In addition to the battleships, two improved armored cruisers of the Fengyang class and four improved armored cruisers of the Klan class were also commissioned around the thirteenth year of Qiansheng.

There are also quite a few light cruisers of several thousand tons, three of the Yuchi-class second-class protection cruisers of nearly 3,000 tons have been served, and four light armored cruisers of more than 5,000 tons have also been put into service.

There are six improved destroyers of the Yuanlin class and eight destroyers of the Guanglin class.

All of the above are cutting-edge ocean-going capital ships, with a total tonnage of 270,000 tons.

The huge shipbuilding scale of the Daheng Empire, although secrecy measures have been taken, but at most it is to keep some specific performance secret, but the quantity is actually difficult to guarantee, after all, such a big guy, millions of shipbuilding expenses at every turn, and it is difficult to completely keep the shipbuilding scale involved in the entire national defense industry system.

The Krull Kingdom and other countries all know that the Daheng Empire is building ships on a large scale, although the details may not be very clear, but the approximate number is still known, and after a little pondering, it is known that the Daheng Empire has served at least 200,000 tons of new warships in the past three years.

And you have to count the series of new warships in service in the Daheng Empire between the seventh and twelfth years of Qiansheng, so although the performance of the battleships has fallen behind today, it does not mean that they are useless.

Even if it is a big country such as the Great Heng Empire and the Krull Kingdom, it is impossible to say that it is impossible to directly throw a battleship like the Jingzhou-class battleship directly.

You must know that three years ago, the Jingzhou-class battleship was still the first battleship of the Blue Star, and after three years, although it no longer has the name of the first battleship, it is still the main battleship of the Daheng Imperial Navy.

The third phase of the naval development plan promoted by the Daheng Empire in the seventh year of Qiansheng and the fourth phase of the naval development plan that began in the twelfth year of Qiansheng have set off a wave of naval technological innovation and upgrading, and the Krull Kingdom has to be worried and then hurriedly follow up, so in recent years, the Krull Kingdom has also built ships without money, and the number of ships built is even more than that of the Daheng Empire.

After all, they claim to be the world's number one power, and if they build fewer ships, how can they be worthy of the title of the world's number one power, and how can they maintain global colonial hegemony without this name.

However, the shipbuilding plan of the Krull Kingdom Navy, which is larger than the shipbuilding plan of the Great Heng Empire, needs a large amount of funds to support, although they can support it by gritting their teeth, but they are still under deep pressure.

And what frightened them even more was that even if they had gritted their teeth to support it, although they had an advantage, this advantage was not enough to completely overwhelm the scale of the Daheng Empire's newly built ships.

How to say it, even if you put aside the technology and performance, which are extremely secret to everyone, the two sides are simply compared to the number of new warships, although the Krull Kingdom has a certain advantage, but this advantage is very weak.

In this case, even the Krull Kingdom had to pull in the Olisa Empire to relieve the huge pressure brought by the Great Heng Empire.

Therefore, there is a natural basis for cooperation between the Olisa Empire and the Krull Kingdom!

Although they all have a common enemy: the Great Heng Empire!

If the Great Heng Empire goes to war with the Olisa Empire over the Endless Strait, then there is no need to have any doubts, the Krull people will inevitably intervene.

The existence of the Olisa Empire and the intervention of the Krull Kingdom are the reasons why the Great Heng Empire has been unified for more than ten years, although it has been shouting, but it has never waved its army south to control the Endless Strait.

But now, many high-ranking members of the empire already believe that in the near future, after the completion of the fourth phase of the development plan of the Great Heng Empire's navy, then the Great Heng Empire will initially have the ability to start a war and deal with it.

And how can the fourth phase of the naval development plan be considered a success?

The service of one or two warships is not counted, at least the third mobile fleet must be formed into combat effectiveness.

From this, we can also see the importance of the Third Mobile Fleet, which is not only the main mobile fleet of the Daheng Imperial Navy in the future, but also represents the development direction of the Imperial Navy.

While the Daheng Imperial Navy was promoting the unification of the all-heavy artillery warship plan and pushing the Third Mobile Fleet to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, the Empire's intelligence department was also continuing to push the civil war in the Kingdom of Tanor in the direction they wanted to see.

In the winter of the fifteenth year of Qiansheng, with the support of the empire, Prince Zhou Yaping's army successively defeated the main forces of the two king's armies, all the way to the Endless Strait, and marched to Andan, the capital of the Kingdom of Tana.

At this time, a difficult problem was placed on the side of the Olisa Empire!

Will you personally save Andan, or will you sit back and watch the prince's army conquer Andan?
