In late November of the thirteenth year of Qiansheng, after learning that the Prime Minister of the Olisa Empire had sent an envoy to the Krull Kingdom and tried to sign a military alliance treaty, Gong Wenbin, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Daheng Empire, also urgently summoned the ministers of the above two countries to Daheng to express a strong protest against the signing of a military alliance treaty against the Daheng Empire!

When summoning the ministers of the two countries, Gong Wenbin, the foreign minister, used very strong words: the empire will not tolerate any conspiracy against the empire!

Although the ministers of the above two countries did not hesitate to deny that the two sides had signed a military alliance treaty against the Great Heng Empire, this still could not reassure the Great Heng Empire.

On November 29, Secretary Lai Jinhai, Chief of the Imperial Joint Staff, publicly stated: The Imperial Army and Navy have full confidence to smash any conspiracy against the Empire!

At the same time, both the Olisa Empire and the Krull Kingdom denied that the two sides had signed an alliance treaty against the Great Heng Empire, and the Krull Kingdom was okay, but it was just that you Daheng people should not think too much!

However, the feud with the Olisa Empire is not polite, they say that this is a constant barbarian, who always likes to find all kinds of excuses to create out of nothing, and then create contradictions and try to provoke war.

Because of this possible military alliance treaty, the relationship between the Great Heng Empire and the Krull Kingdom and the Olissa Empire quickly became tense!

On December 3, the Daheng Empire publicly reported on a new meeting of the Imperial Staff, and a number of authoritative state media reported several items of the meeting, two of which attracted great attention from the outside world, one of which was that the Imperial Navy will hold a large-scale live-fire exercise in the near future.

Second, in order to ensure national defense and security, the empire will further improve the general mobilization system.

Third, there will be an additional amount of special military expenditure for shipbuilding to build four capital ships to replace the old warships.

The intention of such a public statement is already very obvious, that is, to warn the Krull Kingdom and the Olisa Empire not to take risks, otherwise you will not be able to bear the wrath of the Great Heng people.

However, such a violent backlash of the Great Heng people is actually within the expectations of many countries, the above two countries, one south and one east, are all neighbors that can effectively threaten the Great Heng Empire, so that once they form an alliance, the Great Heng people may not be able to sleep peacefully.

Coupled with the strong external attitude of Daheng people, it is normal to have such a fierce reaction.

However, now both the Krull Kingdom and the Olisa Empire have denied the existence of a treaty, and in fact, even the Great Heng people themselves do not know whether they have signed such a treaty or not.

But even if it is not clear, but there is no wind and no waves, there must be two countries behind the emergence of this kind of intelligence, and what the Great Heng Empire has to do now is to interrupt this push.

Danger must be strangled in the cradle!

Mere diplomatic protests were not enough, and the Great Heng Empire reacted quickly.

On December 9th, just six days after it was publicly reported that the Empire would hold naval exercises, the main fleet of the Great Heng Empire's Navy was quickly assembled!

A large number of detachments under the First Fleet departed from Nanfeng Port, Quping Port, Donghai Port, and other ports and arrived in Jingzhou Bay to form a temporary exercise fleet.

Since the purpose of this exercise was purely to show force and to show the attitude of the Daheng Empire, the venue of this exercise was in Jingzhou Bay, that is, the mouth of the Jinghe River, and foreign diplomats, naval attachés, and reporters were specially invited to participate in the exercise.

On the day of the exercise, the Imperial Navy dispatched most of the main warships deployed on the east coast, including four Jingzhou-class battleships, the Gaoqing, the Jinghe, four Endless Sea-class battleships, two Yonglin-class battleships, a total of 12 battleships, four Fengyang-class armored cruisers, eight Klan-class armored cruisers, two Chongke-class armored cruisers, and a total of 10 armored cruisers, a total of 26 capital ships.

In addition, there were a number of cruiser formations and destroyer formations, with a total of 26 old and new cruisers, 39 old and new destroyers, and more than 40 large torpedo boats and other auxiliary ships.

More than 100 naval vessels participated in the exercises!

With such a large scale of naval exercises, and the urgency of the schedule, many fleets were dispatched in an emergency after receiving an order to make an emergency dispatch a few days earlier.

In fact, it's not for training or anything like that, it's purely to pull the battleship out for people to see, and let people see the great strength of the Daheng Imperial Navy.

Therefore, it is a live-fire exercise, let alone a naval parade.

And in fact, this was also the case, when 26 old and new battleships, in a column, cut through the wind and waves, and carried out live shelling on the target ships of the exercise on the side of the exercise.

The whole sea is full of cannon roar and gunsmoke!

You must know that in order to create a more shocking effect, the actual formation of the fleet is completely different from the actual battle, in the second Battle of Bova, the Daheng Navy did not organize the high-speed patrol formation and the low-speed battleship formation together to move slowly, and the patrol formation often acted alone.

But now, the battleships and the cruisers were together, taking turns sailing past and shelling, even close together, in order to create a more striking visual effect.

More than 20 capital ships lined up for artillery bombardment, and cruisers and destroyers were also engaged in activities on the side, and the whole scene was extremely macroscopic, and the diplomats of other countries and the military attachés stationed in Hengheng were frowning.

Especially the naval attache stationed in Hengheng on the side of the Olisa Empire, his face was extremely gloomy!

Everyone knows that this exercise of the Great Heng Imperial Navy was specially done for them.

In this exercise, the fact that the Daheng Empire was able to gather all the capital ships in just six days, and finally organized such a large-scale exercise in Jingzhou Bay, also proved that the combat readiness of the Daheng Empire's navy was very good.

And the size and strength of the main fleet disclosed in the exercise also made the Olisa Empire extremely jealous.

Because at present, the number of active cutting-edge warships of the Daheng Imperial Navy is already in absolute advantage.

Six Jingzhou-class battleships, plus Gaoqing, Jinghe, four Fengyang-class, and 12 Klan-class, the Daheng Navy currently has a total of 22 cutting-edge warships, all of which are equipped with hardened armor, comprehensive protection, and a new generation of warships equipped with rapid-fire naval guns.

On the other hand, in their Orissa Empire, the new generation of warships with hardened armor and comprehensive protection only started in eleven years, and even if the construction progress is fast, it will not be able to enter service in just two years.

Today, they are still supported by a group of capital warships that used steel-faced iron armor in the early days.

Of course, the capital ships in these battleships are basically equipped with medium-caliber rapid-fire secondary guns.

Thankfully, their new generation of warships uses hybrid main gun ships and is expected to be ready for service in the second half of this year.

Not to mention that the Olisa Empire is inferior, even if the Navy of the Krull Kingdom is currently in the number of new-generation warships, it cannot compete with the Navy of the Great Heng Empire.

Otherwise, the top brass of the Krull Kingdom Navy would not have let the cabinet relax last year.

Seeing this scene, the naval attache of the Orisa Empire stationed in Heng began to worry, with the current strength of the Great Heng Navy, coupled with the barbaric tradition of the Heng Barbarians, this time the treaty incident was not handled well, I am afraid that these Heng Barbarians will really provoke a war.
