The Emperor of the Orenza Empire, Modest, knew that, as Prime Minister Nikifore said, since he was on the big ship of the Seven Nations Alliance, it was no longer up to the Orenza Empire to decide if he wanted to get off the ship halfway, otherwise the Orenza Empire would turn against the other six powers at once.

After pondering for a moment, Emperor Modest asked Prime Minister Nikifuor, "Prime Minister, do you think the other six countries will have the idea of ending the war with the Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire?" ”

Prime Minister Nikifore immediately said: "Your Majesty, the four countries of Yingluoba, Sharad, Noomi and Monia, which occupy a dominant position in the seven-nation alliance, although they suffered heavy losses in the naval battle in January, the strength of the land forces of these four countries did not suffer a heavy blow, and the armies of Yingluoba, Sharad, and Noomi collapsed a large-scale counterattack of the Tang Empire's army not long ago, so the minister thinks that at this time, Yingluoba, Sharad, Noomi and Monia Empire, For the time being, we will not consider ending this war. ”

In mid-March, the Royal Army of the Tang Empire gathered nearly 10 million troops, including the armored units of the Royal Army of the Tang Empire, and under the cover of thousands of fighters of the Royal Air Force of the Tang Empire, they took the initiative to launch a large-scale attack on the territory of the Sharad Empire.

However, three days after the Tang Empire's Royal Army launched its attack, the commander-in-chief He Yunfei issued an order to retreat on all fronts, and then the attacking forces of the Tang Empire's Royal Army retreated to the defense line in the border area of the Tang Empire.

The reason why He Yunfei gave the order to retreat was because the blitzkrieg formulated by the Royal Army of the Tang Empire was not fought, and if the attack continued, the losses that the Royal Army of the Tang Empire would suffer would definitely be very amazing, and He Yunfei was not willing to fight such a war of attrition.

After the Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire successfully used the blitzkrieg to defeat the Gisk army and the Orensa army in the Celestial Star Empire, the shocked three kingdoms of Yingluoba, Sharad, and Noomi immediately equipped the three armies on the front line with a large number of anti-aircraft machine guns, anti-aircraft guns, and battle defense guns.

The anti-aircraft gun is also an anti-tank gun, which is a kind of artillery that is directly aimed at attacking tanks and armored targets, and the anti-aircraft guns produced by Yingluoba, Sharad and Noomi are generally divided into 37 mm and 57 mm.

In addition, the three countries of Yingluopa, Sharad, and Noomi also quickly developed anti-tank mines and anti-tank grenades, and quickly equipped the front-line troops of the three armies.

When the armored units of the Royal Army of the Tang Empire invaded the territory of the Salad Empire, they immediately suffered extremely heavy losses under the joint strangulation of anti-aircraft artillery, anti-tank mines and anti-tank grenades, so that the assault ability of the armored forces could not be exerted at all, and the infantry of the Royal Army of the Tang Empire could only attack the strong fortifications of the armies of Yingluoba, Sharad and Noomi.

And because the armies of Yingluoba, Sharad, and Noomi are equipped with a large number of air defense weapons, the Royal Air Force of the Tang Empire also suffered a lot of losses, making it unable to provide strong air support to the offensive troops of the Royal Army of the Tang Empire, which is also one of the important reasons why the commander-in-chief He Yunfei issued the order to retreat.

Emperor Modest sighed and said: "It seems that we can only continue to persevere, I hope that the armies of Yingluoba, Sharad, and Noomi can change the current situation of the war, by the way, what happened to the anti-aircraft weapons and anti-tank weapons of our Orenza Empire?" ”

Prime Minister Niki Fore said: "Your Majesty rest assured, according to the design drawings given by the Sharad Empire, several large arsenals of our Orenza Empire have produced our Orenza Empire's own new anti-aircraft machine guns, new anti-aircraft guns, anti-aircraft guns, anti-tank mines and anti-tank grenades, and these weapons have begun to equip the Royal Army, if the Purple Moon Empire army and the Tang Empire army still dare to invade our Orenza Empire, the Royal Army will definitely attack them head-on!" ”

At the beginning, in order to contain the strength of the Orenza Imperial Army and break the deadlock in the Celestial Star Empire, the Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire gathered twenty field infantry divisions and thirty temporary infantry divisions to take the initiative to launch a large-scale attack on the mainland of the Orenza Empire.

After the surrender of the Celestial Star Empire was announced, the Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire, which entered the territory of the Orenza Empire, withdrew to the Purple Moon Empire and the Tang Empire.

Emperor Modest nodded slightly, and then asked, "Prime Minister, our Royal Navy's new Super Dreadnought Battleship and Battlecruiser. When will it be able to enter service? ”

After signing an armistice with the Purple Moon Empire and the Su Family Army last time, the Orenza Empire, with the support of Emperor Modeste, began a plan to rebuild the Royal Navy of Orenza.

This plan includes the construction of a total of sixteen super dreadnought battleships, sixteen battle cruisers, twelve large armored cruisers, thirty-six light cruisers, forty-eight destroyers and sixty torpedo boats.

You must know that when the Orenza Empire signed an armistice agreement with the Purple Moon Empire and the Su Family's Army, there were only five former dreadnought battleships, two ironclad battleships, four large armored cruisers, eight light cruisers, twelve destroyers, more than 20 torpedo boats and more than 30 gunboats left in the entire Orenza Royal Navy.

Later, the Royal Navy of Orenza took out the twelve ironclad battleships that had been mothballed, modified them slightly, and temporarily added them to the main fleet.

Prime Minister Nikki Fork suddenly smiled and said: "Your Majesty, at the beginning of next month, there will be six Valian-class super dreadnought-class battleships and six Beaver-class battlecruisers to join our Royal Navy of Orenza, and the Royal Navy will finally not have to rely on five former dreadnought battleships and fourteen ironclad battleships to fill the façade, and the other ten Valian-class and ten Beaver-class will all be completed by August." ”

The Royal Navy's Valiant-class Super Dreadnought battleships are armed with five twin 45-caliber 343 mm guns, with a full load displacement of 26,300 tons and a top speed of 20 knots.

The Beaver-class battlecruisers were armed with four twin 45-caliber 343 mm guns, with a full load displacement of 27,200 tons and a maximum speed of 25.5 knots.

Emperor Modest nodded with satisfaction and said, "Thanks to the Prime Minister's suggestion that a large number of shore defense guns be deployed in every port with shipyards, the navy of the Purple Moon Empire cannot destroy our shipyards, so that our Royal Navy of Orenza has a chance to be reborn." ”

Prime Minister Nikifore hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, now that the Purple Moon Empire Navy and the Tang Empire Navy are strong, even if all the sixteen Valian-class and sixteen Beaver-class ships of our Orenza Royal Navy are put into service, the minister suggests that our Orenza Royal Navy still have the main task of guarding various ports." ”

Emperor Modest sighed and said, "Prime Minister rest assured, I will not let our Orenza Royal Navy take risks, sixteen Valian-class and sixteen Beaver-class ships were built by our Orenza Empire at a huge cost. ”

Prime Minister Nikki Fore then asked: "Your Majesty, the Admiralty has already designed super dreadnought battleships and battle cruisers with 356 mm guns, and Your Majesty feels that the next class of super dreadnought battleships and battle cruisers, how many should we build in the Royal Navy of Orenza?" ”

Emperor Modest smiled bitterly and said, "The prime minister wants me to continue to pay for it, right?" ”

Prime Minister Niki Fore smiled awkwardly and said: "Your Majesty, at present, almost all of the finances of our Orenza Empire are used by the Royal Army, so the Royal Navy's new shipbuilding plan, if it only depends on the finances of the Empire, then it can only be postponed, and now the focus of our Orenza Empire is to continue to strengthen the strength of the Royal Army and guard against the invasion of the Tang Dynasty and Ziyue Army." ”

Emperor Modest pondered for a moment and said: "The importance of the navy is undoubted, after the Seven Nations Alliance declared war with the Tang Dynasty and the Purple Moon this time, almost all the coasts of our Orenza Empire were blocked by the Purple Moon Navy, and even the freighters could not leave the port, and the economic losses caused were incalculable, so the pace of our Royal Navy's construction of super dreadnought battleships and battle cruisers cannot be stopped, and the next level of super dreadnought battleships and battle cruisers are still built sixteen each." ”

After a pause, Emperor Modest continued: "The problem of funds, the royal family can solve some of it, and issue some more national bonds, which will be used exclusively to build the next class of super dreadnought battleships and battle cruisers. ”

Prime Minister Niki Fore heard this, and nodded slowly, although in order to expand the strength of the Royal Orenza Army and deal with this war, the Orenza Empire has issued a national debt worth 400 million British dollars, but in order to build the next level of super dreadnought battleships and battle cruisers, and issue more national bonds worth tens of millions or hundreds of millions of British dollars, the future finances of the Orenza Empire can still afford it.

The construction of sixteen new super dreadnought battleships and sixteen new battlecruisers would require at least seventy or eighty million British dollars, and it is really unrealistic to rely on the Orensa royal family to pay for it, after all, the Orenza royal family is not very rich.
