Chapter 242: The Most Important Reliance

Su Yi didn't pay much attention to hearing that the Hessel Kingdom intended to join the military alliance formed by the Jisk Empire and the Orenza Empire, although the Hessel Kingdom had greatly increased its strength after annexing the four island countries, and it could almost be ranked among the first-class powers, but the current overall strength of the Hessel Kingdom was much worse than that of the Tang Empire.

Su Yi snorted coldly and said, "Since the Hessel Kingdom doesn't know whether to live or die, then be ready to accept the wrath of our Tang Empire!" ”

Wang Yimin, director of the General Intelligence Bureau, then said: "Your Majesty, there is another country that we also need to pay attention to, that is, the Revelli Kingdom, which also belongs to the island country of the Southern Continent, this country took advantage of the war between the Seven Nations Alliance and our Tang Empire, and successively annexed a number of surrounding island countries, and now the land area of the Revelli Kingdom has exceeded eight million square kilometers, even larger than the area of the Hessel Kingdom, the population of the Revelli Kingdom is about 180 million, and its navy and army have good strength. ”

After a pause, Wang Yimin continued: "According to the information obtained by our intelligence department, the Gisk Empire and the Orenza Empire are also courting the Levelli Kingdom, hoping that the Levelli Kingdom can also join the military alliance formed by the two countries. ”

The entire southern continent covers an area of about 70 million square kilometers, of which more than 48 million square kilometers belong to islands, and there are hundreds of island countries in total, and the Hessel Kingdom and the Revelli Kingdom should be the two most powerful island countries at present.

Because of geographical reasons, even if the seven countries of the original Seven Nations Alliance are reunited, it will be difficult for the Jisk Empire and the Orenza Empire, which are located in the south of the Tang Empire, to get the support of the other five countries, so the Jisk Empire and the Orenza Empire both want to pull Hessel and Revelli, the two powerful kingdoms of the Southern Continent, into their camp, so that once the war breaks out, the Jisk Empire and the Orenza Empire can unite the Hessel Kingdom and the Revelli Kingdom to resist the Tang Empire together.

Su Yi frowned slightly, "What is the situation with the navy and army of the Revelli Kingdom?" ”

Wang Yimin immediately replied: "The army of the Revelli Kingdom currently has more than four million troops, but it is not equipped with tanks and armored vehicles, and the navy of the Revelli Kingdom currently has eight super dreadnought battleships, eight battle cruisers, four dreadnought battleships, four former dreadnought battleships, six ironclad battleships and more than 100 non-main warships, in addition, the Revelli Kingdom also has four super dreadnought battleships with 356 mm guns and four battle cruisers with 356 mm guns that are about to be completed. ”

Shi Jian, the first vice premier of the cabinet, said at this time: "Your Majesty, the Jisk Empire and the Orenza Empire can win over the Hessel Kingdom and the Revelli Kingdom, and the minister feels that our Tang Empire can also win over the Hessel Kingdom and the Revelli Kingdom, according to the current situation, the seven countries of the original Seven Nations Alliance are likely to collude together, if you add the two countries of Hessel and Revili, the enemies faced by our Tang Empire will be even stronger." ”

Before Su Yi could speak, Prime Minister Xu Haoming spoke: "If you are not of my race, your heart will be different, the Hessel Kingdom and the Revelli Kingdom are both predominantly white countries, even if our Tang Empire can temporarily win over these two countries, it is difficult to guarantee that these two countries will not have different intentions and stab our Tang Empire in the back." ”

A gleam flashed in Su Yi's eyes, "We are not even afraid of such powerhouses as Yingluopa, Sharad, and Noomi, let alone two small kingdoms!" As long as our Tang Empire improves its own strength, it will not be afraid of any country's challenge! ”

To improve the strength of the Tang Empire, in fact, the most important thing to rely on is still the overlord rise system in Su Yi's hands, especially the new year is coming soon, and as long as it is the new year, Su Yi can add a large number of warships and fighters to the Tang Royal Navy and the Tang Royal Air Force.

From the beginning of November 3015 in the Tang calendar, the Tang Empire's navy, land and air forces have entered a state of emergency preparation, and the preparation of the Tang Empire has not been too much to cover up.

The seven countries of Yingluoba, Sharad, Noomi, Monia, Gisk, Ruierland, and Orenza immediately accelerated the pace of military expansion, and the contacts between them also increased, and a new military alliance against the Tang Empire was rapidly formed.

Time soon came to the Chinese New Year's Eve of 3015 in the Tang calendar, Su Yi accompanied Empress Ouyang Xue, noble concubines Ouyang Qian, Ouyang Wan, Zhao Xinyan and Song Yao, concubines Wei Zifang, Wei Ziyi and Liu Muqing, and eleven sons and nine daughters, after eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together, Su Yi came to the study room of the Xiande Hall alone, while reviewing official documents, waiting for the arrival of the new year.

When the time came to 0:00 on January 1, 3016 in the Tang calendar, the system immediately gave Su Yi a New Year's gift package, and this year's New Year's gift package contained a diamond treasure chest.

After Su Yi opened the diamond treasure chest, five cards appeared in the item warehouse.

Soviet T-34/76 tanks (unit price 2.3 million yuan, limited to 800 units per year) (upgradeable+).

German Messerschmitt Bf109 fighter (unit price of 2 million yuan, limited to 800 units per year) (can be upgraded +).

American Atlanta-class light cruiser (unit price 80 million yuan, limited to 48 units per year) (upgrade+).

German VIIC submarine (unit price of 30 million yuan, limited to 70 units per year) (can be upgraded +).

British Hood-class battlecruiser (unit price of 1.3 billion yuan, limited to four per year) (upgradeable+).

The Soviet T-34/76 tank is a medium tank produced by the Soviet Union in World War II, with a total combat weight of 32 tons, an engine power of 500 horsepower, a maximum road speed of 75 kilometers per hour, a maximum range of 400 kilometers, and a 76 mm tank gun.

In addition to the T-34/76 tank, the other fighters and three warships are sold in the original system store, and after adding these four cards, the annual purchase limit of the Messerschmitt Bf109 fighter has become 1,200, the annual purchase limit of the Atlanta-class light cruiser has become 72, the annual purchase limit of the VIIC submarine has become 100, and the annual purchase limit of the Hood-class battlecruiser has become 8.

Su Yi was very satisfied with the five cards drawn from this diamond treasure chest, which were equivalent to improving the strength of the Tang Royal Army, Royal Navy and Royal Air Force respectively.

Subsequently, Su Yi bought all the fighters and warships that could be purchased in 3016 of the Tang calendar.

The purchase of fighter jets from the Systems Mall includes 1,200 Messerschmitt Bf109 fighters and 600 Junkers-88 dive bombers.

Warships purchased from the System Mall include fifty-two super dreadnoughts, sixty-eight battlecruisers, twenty dreadnoughts, forty-eight heavy cruisers, seventy-two light cruisers, one hundred and forty-four destroyers, and one hundred submarines.

After buying all the fighters and warships that could be purchased this year, Su Yi continuously clicked on the upgradeable red plus sign behind the five dreadnought battleships with his consciousness.

In the case that naval powers such as Yingluoba and Sharad generally prepared super dreadnought battleships, dreadnought battleships with slightly smaller main gun caliber suffered more in the duel of naval battles, so Su Yi decided to take the risk of upgrading all five dreadnought battleships in the system mall, hoping to get super dreadnought battleships with stronger combat effectiveness.

After successive upgrades to the Giant-class dreadnought, King-class dreadnought, Count Cavour-class dreadnought, Lone Pull dreadnought-class, and Florida-class dreadnought, only the Giant-class and King-class succeeded, and two new super dreadnought battleships appeared in the system shop.

U.S. North Carolina-class battleships (unit price 1.25 billion yuan, limited to four per year) (upgradeable+).

South Dakota-class battleships in the United States (unit price of 1.27 billion yuan, limited to four per year) (upgradeable+).

The North Carolina-class battleship is a super dreadnought battleship built by the United States Navy before World War II, with a standard displacement of 36,600 tons, a full load displacement of 46,700 tons, a maximum speed of 28 knots, and is equipped with three triple 45 times caliber 406 mm main guns, ten twin 127 mm high-flat dual guns, thirty 40 mm anti-aircraft guns, forty 20 mm anti-aircraft guns, 305 mm main armor on the side belt, 152 mm to 196 mm deck armor, and 406 mm main turret armor. The crew was 2,339 men.

The South Dakota-class battleship is a type 1 battleship of the United States Navy during World War II and the penultimate battleship of the United States Navy, with a standard displacement of 35,000 tons and a full load displacement of 46,000 tons. With a maximum speed of 27.5 knots, it was equipped with three triple 45-caliber 406 mm guns, ten twin 127 mm high-level guns, eighteen four-pack 40 mm anti-aircraft guns, thirty-five 20 mm anti-aircraft guns, 134.6 mm deck armor, 457 mm main turret armor, and a crew of 2,346 men.

In exchange for five dreadnought battleships for two super dreadnought battleships with 406 mm guns, Su Yi felt that it was not a loss, not to mention that five and twenty dreadnought battleships had already been purchased this year, and now he could buy four more North Carolina-class and four South Dakota-class.

Subsequently, in half a month, Su Yi delivered the warplanes and warships stored in the goods warehouse to the Datang Royal Air Force and the Datang Royal Navy respectively.

After the Royal Air Force acquired 1,200 Messerschmitt Bf109 fighters and 600 Junkers-88 dive bombers, the total number of fighters exceeded 8,000.

Of the seven main fleets of the Tang Royal Navy, the capital ships alone received sixty super dreadnought battleships, sixty-eight battle cruisers, and twenty dreadnought battleships at once, and then the capital ship establishment of the seven main fleets of the Tang Royal Navy was re-adjusted.

The capital ships of the First Fleet are 28 Japanese Nagato-class super dreadnought battleships, 16 Colorado-class super dreadnought battleships, 14 Nelson-class super dreadnought battleships, 19 Bavaria-class super dreadnought battleships, 34 British Hood-class battlecruisers, and 36 Dingyuan-class battlecruisers.

The capital ships of the Second Fleet include 36 Zhenyuan-class super dreadnought-class battleships, 20 Queen Elizabeth-class super dreadnought-class battleships, 18 revenge-class super dreadnought-class battleships, and 30 Kongo-class battlecruisers.

The capital ships of the Third Fleet include twenty-four Nevada-class super-dreadnought-class battleships, seventeen Ise-class super-dreadnought-class battleships, eighteen Iron Duke-class superdreadnought-class battleships, and thirty-one Prestige-class battlecruisers.

The capital ships of the Fourth Fleet are 20 Pennsylvania-class super-dreadnought-class battleships, 20 New Mexico-class super-dreadnought, 12 Brittany-class superdreadnought, 16 Tennessee-class superdreadnought, and 30 Tiger-class battlecruisers.

The capital ships of the Fifth Fleet consisted of thirty-four captured enemy super-dreadnought battleships and sixty Lion-class battlecruisers.

The capital ships of the Sixth Fleet include twenty-one King-class dreadnoughts, twenty-one Giant-class dreadnoughts, twenty-five Florida-class dreadnoughts, and seventy-two Moltke-class battlecruisers.

The capital ships of the Seventh Fleet are four North Carolina-class super-dreadnought-class battleships, four South Dakota-class super-dreadnought-class battleships, twenty Earl Cavour-class dreadnought-class dreadnoughts, twenty dreadnought-class battleships, twenty captured enemy dreadnoughts, and twenty-four captured enemy battlecruisers.

The heavy cruiser, armored cruiser, light cruiser, and destroyer formations under the seven main fleets were also strengthened.

On the evening of January 20, 3016 in the Tang calendar, August, the prime minister of the British Empire, hurried to the palace in Merseca.

After seeing Emperor Penelope, Prime Minister Auguste said urgently: "Your Majesty, the intelligence department has just received news that the navy of the Tang Empire has suddenly added a large number of warships, including dozens of super dreadnought battleships and dozens of battle cruisers!" ”

"What? The Datang Navy has dozens of super dreadnought battleships and dozens of battle cruisers, where did these super dreadnought battleships and battle cruisers come from? Emperor Penelope asked with a very ugly face.

Prime Minister August smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, at present, our intelligence services and the Royal Navy still have not figured out this matter. ”

Emperor Penelope said angrily: "Now that the Nine Nations Military Alliance is about to be established, I didn't expect such a thing to happen again, I hope that no country will back down because of this matter." ”

Under the contact of various countries, the seven countries of the original Seven Nations Alliance, as well as the Hessel Kingdom and the Revelli Kingdom, have secretly reached a consensus to prepare to form a military alliance against the Tang Empire, and an alliance will be held in the near future.
