In order to raise more military spending, the Sharad Empire issued a three-year treasury bond of 5 billion Saudi dollars and a five-year treasury bond of 5 billion Saudi Yuan at the beginning of October of the Tang Dynasty in 3015, and the treasury bonds of 10 billion Saudi Arabian were only issued for the Shalad Empire.

Due to the high interest rate set on this 10 billion national debt, it was sold very well in the domestic territory of the Sharad Empire, and it was sold out in less than a month.

With sufficient military spending, the Sharad Empire expanded its navy, land, and air forces while contacting other countries of the former Seven-Nation Alliance to discuss the reorganization of the Seven-Nation Alliance.

For the reorganization of the Seven-Power Alliance, not only the Shalad Empire is very active, but some countries are even more active than the Sharad Empire, such as the Jisk Empire and the Orenza Empire, which also have a long border with the Tang Empire, these two countries faced the threat of the Tang Empire, and in May of the Tang Dynasty 3015, they took the lead in forming a military alliance, and the two countries of Jisk and Orenza have been rearming and fighting, ready to meet the invasion of the Tang Empire at any time.

At present, the Navy of the Gisk Empire has twenty-four super dreadnought battleships, twenty battle cruisers, six dreadnought battleships, six former dreadnought battleships and seventeen ironclad battleships, and twelve super dreadnought battleships with 381 mm guns and twelve battle cruisers with 381 mm guns are about to be completed.

The army of the Gisk Empire has reorganized 85 infantry divisions, each with a strength of about 100,000 people, equipped with more than 600 light tanks produced by the Gisk Empire, but the light tanks produced by the Gisk Empire are very average in all aspects, and they are even inferior to the Renault FT-17 light tanks equipped by the Tang Army.

The Gisk Empire also established an air force, equipped with nearly 500 fighters designed and produced by the Gisk Empire, of which fighters and bombers accounted for half each, and the performance of these fighters and bombers can only be said to be very average.

The navy of the Orenza Empire currently has sixteen super dreadnought battleships, sixteen battle cruisers, five former dreadnought battleships, and two ironclad battleships, as well as sixteen super dreadnought battleships with 356 mm guns and sixteen battle cruisers with 356 mm guns under construction.

The army of the Orenza Empire has 70 infantry divisions, each of which has a strength of about 100,000 people, and is equipped with more than 400 light tanks produced by the Orenza Empire.

The Orenza Empire was temporarily unable to produce its own fighters and bombers, so it imported forty-eight fighters and twenty-four bombers from the Gisk Empire, which formed the air force of the Orensa Empire.

The military strength of the Gisk Empire and the Orenza Empire is actually not weak, especially the army and navy of the two countries, but even so, these two countries together are not the opponents of the Tang Empire, so these two countries very much hope that they can pull the British Lopa Empire, the Sharad Empire, the Noomi Empire, the Monia Empire and the Ryerland Empire in the original seven-nation alliance into the newly formed military alliance of the two countries.

Although the Seven-Nation Alliance was defeated in the last war, the seven countries of the Seven-Nation Alliance did not reach the point of breaking their bones, which made these seven countries a little unconvinced by the defeat.

And the fact that Yingluopa, Sharad, Noomi, Monia, Gisk, Ruierland, and Orenza were preparing to re-form a military alliance against the Tang Empire, although it was very secretive, but it still allowed the intelligence department of the Tang Empire to get some information.

On the afternoon of November 5, 3015 in the Tang calendar, in the Xiande Hall of the Imperial Palace of Chang'an City, Wang Yimin, who was in charge of the entire intelligence system of the Tang Empire, reported to Su Yi in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, according to some information obtained by our intelligence department, at present, the Yingluopa Empire, the Sharad Empire, the Noomi Empire, the Monia Empire, the Jisk Empire, the Ryerland Empire, and the Orenza Empire are likely to collude again and prepare to be disadvantageous to our Tang Empire. ”

Wang Yimin is a high-end elite combat biochemical who was purchased by Su Yi from the system mall in the New Year of the Tang calendar in 3015, and he is also the sixth all-round senior elite combat biochemical under Su Yi.

Considering the importance of the intelligence system, Su Yi did not send Wang Yimin to the navy, land and air forces of the Tang Empire, but handed over the intelligence system of the entire Tang Empire to Wang Yimin to be in charge and appointed Wang Yimin as the director of the General Intelligence Bureau of the Tang Empire.

Su Yi nodded slightly, and then asked the important ministers of the military and government in the Hall of Virtue: "What do you think of this matter?" ”

At this time, in addition to Wang Yimin, the director of the General Intelligence Bureau, there were also Prime Minister Xu Haoming, First Vice Premier Shi Jian, Second Vice Premier Guo Xian, Royal Army Commander-in-Chief He Yunfei, Royal Navy Commander-in-Chief Wang Chengliang and Royal Air Force Commander-in-Chief Xia Xuezhi.

As soon as Su Yi's words fell, He Yunfei, the commander-in-chief of the Royal Army, said loudly: "Your Majesty, now our Tang Royal Army has ten guard divisions, twenty-four armored divisions, six hundred field divisions and four hundred garrison divisions, with a total strength of up to 70 million, and has more advanced Black Wolf Tanks and Black Tiger Tanks. ”

Wang Chengliang, commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy, then said: "Your Majesty, the seven main fleets of our Datang Royal Navy, the capital ships alone have two hundred and sixty-one super dreadnought battleships, two hundred and forty-five battle cruisers and one hundred and seven dreadnought battleships, even if the navies of those seven countries are combined, our Datang Royal Navy is confident that we will win in battle!" ”

Xia Xuezhi, commander-in-chief of the Royal Air Force, immediately said: "Your Majesty, with the strength of our Datang Royal Air Force, even the combined air forces of those seven countries are not enough, and our Datang Royal Air Force has the confidence to dominate the skies of the world." ”

After the three important ministers of the military expressed their positions, Prime Minister Xu Hao said clearly: "Your Majesty, now our Tang Empire has sufficient funds, enough to support our Tang Empire to carry out a long war, if the Yingluoba Empire, the Shalad Empire, the Noomi Empire, the Monia Empire, the Gisk Empire, the Ruierland Empire and the Orenza Empire really unite again, the minister feels that our Tang Empire can completely defeat these seven countries through a new war, and remove all threats from the outside of our Tang Empire." ”

Shi Jian, the first vice premier of the cabinet, and Guo Xian, the second vice premier of the cabinet, hesitated slightly, and also said that if the seven countries such as Yingluoba and Sharad really united again, they would also support the Tang Empire and the seven countries of the original Seven Nations Alliance to fight another war.

For Shi Jian and Guo Xian, they are not willing to break out into war again with Yingluoba, Sharad and other seven countries, so as not to affect the current rapid development of the economy of the Tang Empire, but they have secretly united, and there is no other choice for the Tang Empire.

Su Yi heard the statements of the military and government leaders, nodded with satisfaction and said: "It seems that in the last war, our Tang Empire has not yet hurt those seven countries, since they are looking for death again, then I must beat them to the heart this time!" ”

Wang Chengliang, commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy, suggested to Su Yi at this time: "Your Majesty, the Yingluoba Navy has completed the construction of ten Brave-class super dreadnought battleships and ten pursuit-class battlecruisers last month, and the number of battleships in the Yingroba Navy has been increased to fifty-six super dreadnought battleships, forty-seven battlecruisers, thirteen dreadnought battleships, thirty former dreadnought battleships and twenty ironclad battleships, and by February next year, the Yingluoba Navy will have twenty Valorant-class and twenty Pursuit-class battleships in service, Thirty more Tenacious-class Super Dreadnought battleships and thirty Ambush-class battlecruisers will join the Angloba Navy in May next year. ”

After a pause, Wang Chengliang continued: "In addition to the Yingluoba Navy, the navies of the other six countries will also have a large number of battleships completed next year, so in order to ensure the superiority of our Datang Royal Navy, Chen suggested that our Datang Empire declare war on those seven countries as soon as possible, otherwise after the super dreadnought battleships and battlecruisers being built by the seven countries are completed next year, our Datang Royal Navy will be completely at a disadvantage in terms of the number of battleships. After all, those are the seven countries that currently rank second to eighth in the world in terms of navy. ”

Before Su Yi could speak, Shi Jian, the first vice premier of the cabinet, said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is a little inappropriate for our Tang Empire to declare war first, you must know that the information obtained by the General Intelligence Bureau has no solid evidence, once our Tang Empire declares war first, and we can't produce conclusive evidence, our Tang Empire will be morally untenable." ”

Guo Xian, the second vice premier of the cabinet, also nodded and said: "Your Majesty, Premier Shi is reasonable, our Tang Empire cannot declare war on the seven countries of Yingluoba, Sharad, Noomi, Monia, Gisk, Ruierland, and Orenza on trumped-up charges, in that case, even some people in the country may have to jump out and accuse our Tang Empire of provoking a new world war." ”

Su Yi smiled slightly and said: "With the current military strength of our Tang Empire, even if those seven countries unite again, I am not afraid, there is no need to declare war first, I can announce to the whole world that our Tang Empire is a peace-loving country, and our Tang Empire will not invade any country, of course, there are some countries that plot against our Tang Empire first, then it is another matter." ”

Then Su Yi asked Wang Chengliang, commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy: "How long will it take to complete the construction of the forty-eight Jingyuan-class, forty-eight Zhiyuan-class, twelve Zhenyuan-class, and twelve Dingyuan-class ships under construction in major shipyards?" ”

After thirty-six Zhenyuan-class super dreadnought battleships and thirty-six Dingyuan-class battlecruisers joined the sequence of the Tang Empire's Royal Navy, Su Yi ordered the construction of forty-eight Jingyuan-class super dreadnought battleships with 406 mm guns, forty-eight Zhiyuan-class battle cruisers with 406 mm guns, twelve Zhenyuan-class super dreadnought battleships with 381 mm guns, and twelve Dingyuan-class battle cruisers with 381 mm guns.

Although the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire was ready to start building aircraft carriers, battleships still played an irreplaceable role in naval warfare in a short period of time, so Su Yi invested heavily in building one hundred and twenty giant ships in one go.

Wang Chengliang, commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy, immediately said: "Your Majesty, there are thirty-six Jingyuan-class and thirty-six Zhiyuan-class, which will be able to join our Datang Royal Navy in June next year, and the other twelve Jingyuan-class, twelve-class, twelve-town-class and twelve-de-Dingyuan-class, because they are all built in a newly built large dock, may be completed by the end of next year." ”

Su Yi nodded, "How's the design of the aircraft carrier?" ”

Wang Chengliang quickly replied: "Your Majesty, an aircraft carrier with a standard displacement of 38,000 tons has been designed, with a full load displacement of 42,000 tons, equipped with ten 88-mm anti-aircraft guns, twenty 40-mm twin anti-aircraft guns, twenty 20-mm quadruple anti-aircraft guns and thirty-six 12.7-mm anti-aircraft machine guns, which can carry about 100 carrier-based aircraft, but at present, it will take some time to design and produce fighters and bombers that can be used as carrier-based aircraft." ”

According to Su Yi's request, an aircraft factory in the Tang Empire is creating fighters and bombers that can act as carrier-based aircraft through the development of the Messerschmitt Bf109 fighter and the Junkers-88 dive bomber.

Su Yi pondered for a moment and asked, "Now that the design of the aircraft carrier has been completed, does the Navy have any plans to build it?" ”

Wang Chengliang shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, at present, all the large docks of our major shipyards in the Tang Empire are occupied, and only after the completion of the thirty-six Jingyuan-class and thirty-six Zhiyuan-class aircraft carriers in June next year can the construction of aircraft carriers be carried out." ”

Su Yi waved his hand and said: "That would be too much delay, I immediately allocated a special fund to the Navy for the construction of new large docks and aircraft carriers, Cheng Liang, do you think several aircraft carriers should be built at the same time?" ”

Wang Chengliang hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, this aircraft carrier we designed has not even been designed for the time being, so the minister thinks it is better to be conservative and build three or four ships first." ”
