Knowing that the Tang Empire had officially annexed the forty provinces of the Celestial Star Empire, the Emperor of the Jisk Empire, Lazarik, said to Prime Minister Maxim with a depressed face: "I really have some regrets now, let our Jisk Empire join the Seven Nations Alliance, otherwise our Jisk Empire would not have lost the Celestial Star Empire so quickly, alas-"

Prime Minister Maxim smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, you don't have to blame yourself, the emperor of the Tang Empire has long been eyeing the Celestial Star Empire, even if our Jisk Empire does not join the Seven Nations Alliance this time, the Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire will definitely find an excuse to invade the Celestial Star Empire in the future." ”

Emperor Lazarik sighed and said, "Although the war between the Seven Nations Alliance and the Tang Dynasty and the Purple Moon has not yet ended, I have a hunch that the Celestial Star Empire will not be able to return to the hands of our Jisk Empire. ”

Prime Minister Maxim said comfortingly: "The armies of Yingluoba, Shalad, and Noomi have just repelled the attack of tens of millions of troops of the Tang Empire, and the final outcome of this war is still unpredictable. ”

Emperor Lazarik said with some lack of confidence: "Don't look at the three armies of Yingluoba, Shalad, and Noomi this time, relying on a strong defense line, they have blocked the attack of tens of millions of Tang Empire troops, but don't forget that the fortifications of the Tang Imperial Army are no worse than the positions built by the armies of Yingluoba, Sharad, and Noomi, and it is also very difficult for the three armies to break through the defense line of the Tang Empire army, and the key to this war is on the three armies of Yingluoba, Shalad, and Noomi. How easy it is for the Seven-Nation Alliance to achieve the final victory! ”

Prime Minister Maxim hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, no matter what, our Gisk Empire has been tied to the other six countries, and even if you want to withdraw at this time, it is impossible." ”

Emperor Lazarik smiled bitterly and said, "I have no intention of withdrawing from the Seven Nations Alliance, and now our Jisk Empire can only do our best to strengthen the strength of the Royal Army and guard against the invasion of the Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire." ”

In order to break the deadlock in the territory of the Celestial Star Empire and contain more Jisk troops, the Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire gathered twenty field infantry divisions and thirty temporary infantry divisions to attack the territory of the Jisk Empire while attacking the Orenza Empire.

After Emperor Song Xuan of the Celestial Star Empire officially issued the edict of surrender, the Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire also withdrew from the Jisk Empire itself.

Prime Minister Maxim said: "Your Majesty rest assured, according to the drawings given by the Shalad Empire, our Gisk Empire's arsenal can already produce anti-aircraft guns, anti-tank mines and anti-tank grenades. ”

Emperor Lazarik then said: "In addition to the Royal Army, the strength of our Gisk Royal Navy must continue to be strengthened, and the feeling of being blocked at the doorstep by the Purple Moon Imperial Navy must be well understood by the Prime Minister!" ”

Prime Minister Maxim said in a deep voice: "What Your Majesty said is very true, since the coast of our Jisk Empire was blocked by the Navy of the Purple Moon Empire, it is equivalent to completely cutting off the maritime trade of our Jisk Empire, and the economic losses caused are simply astronomical, and it is in the interests of our Jisk Empire to have a strong navy!" ”

The Royal Navy of Gisk fought twice with the Independent Fleet outside the port of Kangshan and off the port of Ambo, and both times the Royal Navy suffered heavy defeats.

After more than two years of recuperation, the current capital ships of the Gisk Royal Navy have twelve super dreadnought battleships, eight battle cruisers, six dreadnought battleships, six former dreadnought battleships and seventeen ironclad battleships, of which eight ironclad battleships have been mothballed, and after being remodeled, they have rejoined the sequence of the Gisk Royal Navy.

Emperor Lazarik asked, "Prime Minister, when will the twelve Scar-class super dreadnought battleships and the twelve Coral-class battlecruisers join the active service?" ”

The twelve super-dreadnoughts of the Royal Navy of Gisk are all Cactus-class, armed with five twin 45-caliber 343 mm guns, with a full load displacement of 26,900 tons and a maximum speed of 21 knots, and eight battle cruisers of the Lance class, equipped with four twin 45-caliber 343 mm guns, with a full load displacement of 27,800 tons and a maximum speed of 26 knots.

The Scar and Coral classes being built by the Royal Navy of Gisk have 356 mm guns.

Prime Minister Maxim immediately said: "Your Majesty, the twelve Scar-class super dreadnought battleships and twelve Coral-class battlecruisers have all been completed and are undergoing final sea trials, and if necessary, they can all join the active service of our Royal Navy Gisk this month." ”

Emperor Lazarik's eyes lit up, "So our Royal Navy Gisk will soon have twenty-four super dreadnought battleships and twenty battle cruisers!" ”

Prime Minister Maxim nodded and said, "Your Majesty, it is true, after the twelve Scar-class and twelve Coral-class ships are put into service, our Gisk Empire will even temporarily become the country with the most super dreadnought battleships and battlecruisers in the Seven Nations Alliance." ”

In the previous four countries with a higher naval ranking than the Jisk Empire, Yingluopa, Sharad, Noomi, and Monia, in the big battle with the Datang and Ziyue navies, the super dreadnought battleships and battle cruisers suffered heavy losses, such as the strongest British Royal Navy, and in the end, only sixteen super dreadnought battleships and seven battle cruisers escaped.

A gleam suddenly flashed in Emperor Lazarik's eyes, "Prime Minister, do you think our Royal Navy Gisk can fight the Navy of the Purple Moon Empire?" ”

Prime Minister Maxim said with some surprise: "Your Majesty, although the three main fleets of the Purple Moon Empire Navy have not stayed in the waters of the Tang Empire, the first fleet of the Purple Moon Empire Navy alone has thirty-six super dreadnought battleships and twelve battle cruisers, and its strength is still much higher than that of our Jisk Royal Navy. ”

In that great battle with the combined fleet of the navies of the five countries, the three main fleets of the Royal Navy of the Purple Moon Empire participated in the battle, which can be described as heavy losses, even if the surviving warships, many of them were seriously injured and were no longer suitable for long-distance voyages, so they could only enter the shipyards of the Tang Empire for repairs.

Because there are so many seriously injured warships in the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire and the Royal Navy of the Purple Moon Empire that the docks of the shipyards of the Tang Empire are not enough, and there are still some seriously injured Royal Navy warships of the Purple Moon Empire, staying at the berths near the shipyards, waiting for the dock to vacate out.

Now the three main fleets of the Purple Moon Empire's Royal Navy, as well as the five battle-class super dreadnought battleships that are preparing to join the first fleet of the Purple Moon Empire's Royal Navy, are still remaining in the ports of the Tang Empire.

Emperor Lazaric then said: "I don't want to rely on our Gisk Royal Navy to fight hard with the First Fleet of the Purple Moon Empire Navy, we can completely unite with the Orenza Navy, and even the Monia Navy and the Ruierlan Navy to deal with the First Fleet of the Purple Moon Empire Navy." ”

Prime Minister Maxim frowned and said, "Your Majesty, it seems that the newly built super dreadnought battleships and battlecruisers of the Orensa Navy have not yet been built, and the Monia Navy and the Ruierlan Navy have suffered heavy losses in the previous naval battle, are the navies of their three countries willing to fight a big battle with the Purple Moon Empire Navy at this time?" ”

Emperor Lazarik said: "Prime Minister, you can contact and see what the three kingdoms of Monia, Ryerland, and Orenza mean, the other three main fleets of the Purple Moon Empire Navy are not here at the moment, and it is definitely a good opportunity to annihilate or severely damage the First Fleet of the Purple Moon Empire Navy!" ”

Prime Minister Maxim actually disapproved of Emperor Lazarik's plan very much in his heart, you must know that the First Fleet of the Purple Moon Empire Navy has thirty-six super dreadnought battleships and twelve battle cruisers, and I don't know how much it will cost to defeat so many super dreadnought battleships and battle cruisers.

However, Maxim nodded to Emperor Lazaric and said, "The minister will contact Monia, Ryerland, and Orenza as soon as possible to see if we can facilitate the formation of a combined fleet by the navies of our four countries." ”

Emperor Lazarik then changed the subject, "Prime Minister, now that the construction of the twelve Scar-class super dreadnought battleships and twelve Coral-class battlecruisers has been completed, does the Admiralty have any plans to build super dreadnought battleships and battlecruisers in the future?" ”

Prime Minister Maxim suddenly sighed, "Your Majesty, the Admiralty has completed the design of the next class of super dreadnought battleships and battlecruisers, and the new super dreadnought battleships and battlecruisers will have 381mm main guns, but now that the imperial treasury is used on the Royal Army, there is no way to start the construction of new super dreadnought battleships and battlecruisers in a short time." ”

Emperor Lazarik said categorically: "The pace of building super dreadnought battleships and battle cruisers cannot be stopped, immediately issue a batch of naval treasury bonds for the construction of super dreadnought battleships and battle cruisers with 381 mm guns, and at least twelve each!" ”

Prime Minister Maxim hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, we have already issued a lot of treasury bonds before, and if we continue to issue them, it will be more difficult to repay them in the future." ”

Emperor Lazarik waved his hand: "Without a strong navy, we have to be stuck at home like now, so no matter how difficult it is, we must continue to strengthen the strength of our Royal Navy of Gisk!" ”
