In the palace of Nasya City, the capital of the Monia Empire, Emperor Ippoli gritted his teeth and said to Prime Minister Tolicka: "The Tang Empire is simply too deceitful, it is just a matter of snatching the warships of Azem Harbor, and before leaving, all the docks of the Azem Port Shipyard were blown up. ”

Prime Minister Toliczka said gloomily: "Your Majesty, now that the First Fleet of our Monia Royal Navy has been completely wiped out, and the Second Fleet and the Third Fleet combined, only three super dreadnought battleships, two battle cruisers and five dreadnought battleships can barely hold up the scene, because the Port Azem Shipyard was destroyed, our Monia Royal Navy will not have new capital ships in service in a short period of time, and the next shipbuilding plan of our Monia Royal Navy has also been seriously affected." ”

According to the next shipbuilding plan of the Monia Royal Navy, twenty Fantasy-class super dreadnought battleships with 381 mm guns and twenty Tornado-class battlecruisers with 381 mm guns will be built, including twelve Fantasy and twelve Tempest-class, which will be built at the Port Azeum shipyard.

Emperor Ippoli then muttered and said, "I am going to allocate four billion lari from the royal family's funds for the reconstruction of our Monia Royal Navy, and I hope to double the number of Fantasy and Tempest-class buildings. ”

The Rali is the monetary unit of the Monia Empire, and at the current exchange rate, eight Rali can be exchanged for about one British dollar, and four billion Lali is equivalent to 500 million British dollars.

Hearing that Emperor Ipppolis was willing to put four billion lari into the Monia Royal Navy at once, Prime Minister Toliczka couldn't help but show a shocked look, you must know that Emperor Ippoli has always attached great importance to money, after the Monia Empire joined the Seven Nations Alliance, many ministers tactfully suggested to Emperor Ippoli, hoping that the royal family could come up with a sum of money for the expansion of the Monia Empire's Royal Army and Royal Navy.

However, the proposal of these ministers was categorically rejected by Emperor Ippoli, who only agreed to reduce the 300 million lari that the Monia Imperial Treasury needed to hand over to the Monia royal family in 3014 to 250 million lari.

Later, the Ministry of Finance of the Monia Empire, which lacked funds, had to issue a national debt of 1.8 billion lali, otherwise it would not be able to support the formation of a new twenty infantry corps by the Monia Royal Army.

Prime Minister Toliczka said with some excitement: "Your Majesty, if there are four billion lari allocated by the royal family, it will not be a problem to triple the number of fantasy-class and storm-class construction!" ”

Emperor Ippoli immediately said: "Then let the Admiralty draw up a new plan for the reconstruction of the Royal Navy, our Monia Empire needs a strong navy to guard the tens of thousands of kilometers of coastline of our Monia Empire, and the matter of Port Azeum must not happen again!" ”

The news that Port Azeum was raided by the Tang Empire's navy soon spread throughout the world, and many countries were surprised by the results achieved by the Tang Empire's navy.

In the palace in Merseca City, the capital of the Yingroba Empire, Emperor Penelope put down a piece of paper in his hand, and then pouted and said to Prime Minister August: "I really doubt which side the Monia Empire belongs to, and I gave the Tang Empire Navy fourteen super dreadnought battleships and fourteen battle cruisers for nothing at one time, do you still think that the navy of the Tang Empire is not strong enough?" ”

Prime Minister August said with a wry smile: "The Monia Navy has lost too much this time, according to the intelligence department, there are only three super dreadnought battleships and two battle cruisers left in the entire Monia Navy, and there are only five dreadnought battleships in other capital ships that can be used, it seems that it is impossible for the four countries of Monia, Gisk, Rillland, and Orenza to form a combined naval fleet." ”

The three countries of Yingluoba, Sharad, and Noomi are trying their best to promote the navies of Monia, Gisk, Ryerland, and Orenza to form a joint fleet to reduce the pressure on the navies of their three countries.

Most of the coastline of the Tang Empire is bordering the Eastern Ocean, and only the coastline of the former Purple Moon Empire belongs to the Western Ocean.

Emperor Penelope sighed and said: "Without the Monia Navy, with the strength of the navies of Gisk, Ruierland, and Orenza, it is impossible to defeat the first fleet of the original Purple Moon Empire Navy left in the Western Ocean, not to mention that the Tang Imperial Navy has recently sent a lot of warships to the Western Ocean, it seems that the combined fleet of the four navies of Monia, Gisk, Ruierland, and Orenza cannot be successfully formed." ”

Prime Minister August said with some emotion: "Now the original First Fleet of the Purple Moon Empire Navy has been renamed the Fifth Fleet of the Tang Imperial Navy, according to the information obtained by our Royal Navy of Yingluoba, the Fifth Fleet of the Great Tang Empire Navy has reached more than forty only super dreadnought battleships, this is only one of the main fleets of the Tang Imperial Navy, you must know that the Tang Imperial Navy now has a total of seven main fleets!" ”

Emperor Penelope shook his head and said: "It seems that in terms of the navy, our Yingluoba Empire and even the entire Seven Nations Alliance can only keep quiet for a while, wait for the number of capital ships of the navies of various countries to recover some, and then study the matter of dealing with the navy of the Tang Empire!" Let the ports along the coast of the Yingroba Empire raise the level of vigilance to another level, and the incident in the port of Azeum must not be repeated in the ports of our Yingroba Empire! ”

However, less than two hours after Emperor Penelope's above words, he received the news that the port of Derian of the British Romanian Empire had been attacked by the Tang Empire's navy.

Port Derian is a civilian port on the northern coast of the British Ropa Empire, and there is also a sizable shipyard in the port of Derian, where the Royal Navy has four light cruisers and eight destroyers, which are under construction at the shipyard in Port Derian.

Although it was a civilian port, it also had a fort, and after the Seven-Nation Alliance declared war on the Tang Empire, two more batteries were added to the port, and a garrison fleet of the Royal Navy British Navy's Derian Harbor consisting of a light cruiser, a destroyer, two torpedo boats, and two gunboats was stationed.

In the early morning of May 10, 3014, a fleet of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire suddenly appeared outside the port of Derian, including four Tiger-class battlecruisers, four Blucher-class large armored cruisers, four Cairo-class light cruisers, and eight Vickers-class destroyers.

The twenty warships that appeared outside the port of Derian belonged to the Second Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire, and they were drawn out to form a broken fleet, and then rushed to the waters of the British Empire to conduct a naval battle against the British Empire.

You must know that the Yingluoba Empire is the most developed country in the world in maritime trade, and the Yingluoba Empire's maritime trade share accounts for almost 35% of the world, so soon after the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire defeated the combined fleet of the five navies, the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire formed the first fleet to break diplomatic relations, hoping to attack the merchant ships of the Yingluoba Empire, destroy the ports of the Yingluoba Empire, and block the maritime trade channels of the Yingluoba Empire.

In order to allow the fleet to fight at sea for a long time, the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire also specially transferred six large military transport ships with a displacement of more than 5,000 tons and a speed of 20 knots, loaded with oil, coal, artillery shells and other supplies, to join the fleet.

This broken fleet departed from the port of Huifeng in the Tang Empire in early March, and after more than two months of sailing, it was not until yesterday, that is, on May 9, that the broken fleet entered the waters of the British Luoba Empire.

In total, 22 merchant ships of Yingluopa, Sharad, and Noomi were sunk by the fleet, of which 18 were from the Yingroba Empire.

After the detachment came to the waters near the port of Derian, it found that there was a shipyard in the port of Derian, and there were not many warships of the British Ropa Navy in the port of Derian, and there were not many batteries in the port of Derian, so the commander of the detachment, He Yongchang, immediately made a decision and ordered the shipyard in the port of Derian to be shelled.

Four Tiger-class battlecruisers used 343-millimeter guns to bombard the shipyards in Derian Harbor almost 13,000 kilometers away.

Among the three batteries in Derian Harbor, the coastal defense guns with the largest caliber and the longest firing range are six 155-millimeter guns, with a maximum firing range of less than 10,000 meters.

A light cruiser, a destroyer, two torpedo boats and two gunboats of the Royal Navy stationed in Derian Harbor were very brave and bravely rushed out of the harbor and fearlessly faced the Royal Navy's fleet of the Tang Empire, which was far superior to its own strength.

Of course, these six brave Royal Anglopa Navy warships did not affect the shelling of the Derian Port shipyard by the four Tiger-class battle cruisers in the end, and the broken fleet divided two large armored cruisers, two light cruisers and four destroyers, and easily sank these six warships of the Royal British Navy.

The four Tiger-class battlecruisers felt that they had almost blown up the Derian Port shipyard, and they bombarded the port docks of Derian Harbor for a while before turning around and leaving with the other sixteen warships of the Broken Fleet, joining up with six large military transport ships waiting more than ten nautical miles away, and then continuing to sail westward along the coastline of the British Empire.

"Bang-" Penelope, the emperor of the Yingluoba Empire, slammed the table in front of him, and then angrily shouted to the Admiral Brady: "Immediately let several main fleets of the Royal Navy dispatch to destroy this fleet of the Tang Imperial Navy!" ”

I also complained that Emperor Penelope was very angry, and Port Derian was attacked, but it was the first time in hundreds of years that the Anglopa Empire was attacked by the enemy, and even more than a hundred years ago, the Anglopa Empire and the Noomi Empire fought a seven-year war, and the native of the Anglopa Empire has never been attacked by the Noomi army, and the Anglopa army has always pressed the Noomi army to fight.

Navy Minister Brady said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, it is still not clear how many warships the Tang Imperial Navy has sent into the waters near our Yingluoba Empire, in case it is a trap set by the Tang Imperial Navy and deliberately lures the main force of our Yingluoba Royal Navy to attack, it will be bad, so it is better for the minister to be careful." ”

Emperor Penelope smashed the table again, and roared at the Navy Minister Brady: "The navies of the Tang Empire have all hit the door of our Yingluoba Empire, but you are still preparing to avoid war, I see that you, the Minister of the Navy, do not want to be the Minister of the Navy!" ”

Navy Minister Brady did not dare to take Emperor Penelope's words, but quickly asked for help and looked at Prime Minister August, Brady knew that he must not talk nonsense next, otherwise he, the Minister of the Navy, may really come to an end.

Prime Minister August then sighed and said: "Your Majesty is angry, what Brady said is not unreasonable, after all, ten tenacious-class super dreadnought battleships and ten ambush-class battlecruisers still have to wait for the end of the month to join the sequence of the Royal Navy, before that, the most powerful warships in the entire Royal Navy are only sixteen super dreadnought battleships, seven battle cruisers and fourteen dreadnought battleships, and their strength is even equivalent to an ordinary main fleet of the Tang Imperial Navy, if the Tang Imperial Navy really makes a trap, Our Royal Navy at Yingroba can't afford it. ”

Prime Minister August's words calmed Emperor Penelope a little, "Then we can't let this fleet of the Tang Empire Navy wreak havoc in the waters of our Yingluoba Empire!" ”

Prime Minister August said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the most important thing for our Yingroba Empire now is to build thirty Tenacity-class super dreadnought-class battleships and thirty Ambush-class battlecruisers in An'an and An'an, and the shipyards that built the Tenacity-class and Ambush-class shipyards are all in various military ports, so the main force of our Royal British Navy must stay in each military port, cooperate with the numerous shore defense guns in the military port, and protect the shipyards in each military port." ”

Emperor Penelope showed a smile that was more ugly than crying, "What about the many civilian ports of our Yingroba Empire, as well as so many coastal cities?" ”

Prime Minister August sighed and said: "Your Majesty, we are not ignoring the fleet of the Tang Imperial Navy, we can form a search fleet dominated by dreadnought battleships and ironclad battleships, and then let the civil ports and cities along the coast evacuate as much as possible, and we must make a choice at this time." ”
