In the Xiande Hall of the Imperial Palace of Chang'an City, He Yunfei, the commander-in-chief of the Royal Army of the Tang Empire, said to Su Yi with a smile: "Your Majesty, for the benefit of our entire Tang Empire, it seems that you can only make a small sacrifice this time. ”

A smile appeared on Su Yi's face and said, "I didn't expect that Liu Huaizhong, the naval minister of the Liuyun Empire, would make such a request, for the sake of our Tang Empire, it seems that I can indeed only make some sacrifices." ”

After Su Yi said this, he couldn't help laughing, and Liu Muqing's beautiful face appeared in his mind, and his smile was a little obscene.

He Yunfei then said to Su Yi: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the navy should be allowed to transport a batch of our troops from the Tang Empire into Huitong Port and Huitong City as soon as possible, according to the intelligence of the Military Intelligence Bureau, the other four infantry divisions of the Sharad Empire in the territory of the Liuyun Empire are all rushing to Huitong City, although Liu Huaizhong controls the Fifth Infantry Regiment of the Royal Army of the Liuyun Empire in the area of Huitong City, but the combat effectiveness of the Royal Army of the Liuyun Empire is really flattering, it is best to make the army of the Tang Empire, Stationed in Huitong Port and Huitong City as soon as possible. ”

Su Yi nodded and said: "At present, the main forces of the Third Fleet and the Fifth Fleet of our Royal Navy of the Tang Empire are in the waters of the Liuyun Empire, and because of the Military Intelligence Bureau's plan to seize the Salad Navy warships in Huitong Port, there are two Marine Brigades and two infantry brigades of the Third Guards Infantry Division and a divisional heavy artillery regiment, which have been following the Fifth Fleet by transport ship. Then let the two Marine Brigades and the two infantry brigades of the 3rd Guards Infantry Division and one divisional heavy artillery regiment be stationed in Huitong Port and Huitong City as soon as possible, but only after Liu Huaizhong completely controlled Huitong Port. ”

He Yunfei then said: "I don't know what method Liu Huaizhong will use to seize the warship of the Sharad Navy in Huitong Port?" ”

Su Yi said with a smile: "Anyway, I can't rob it openly, but I also have some curiosity." ”

On the morning of October 10, 3013 in the Tang calendar, in the bridge of the former dreadnought battleship Baiyun of the Royal Navy of the Liuyun Empire, Liu Huaizhong, the Minister of the Navy of the Liuyun Empire, asked Tang Guoyi, the senior staff member of the Admiralty, in a deep voice: "Have you arranged the birthday banquet in the evening and the wine and food prepared for the warships of the Salad Navy?" ”

Admiralty Senior Counselor Tang Guoyi nodded solemnly and said: "Marquis Liu, it has been prepared according to your instructions, and there is also news from Liuyun City that the families of high-ranking officers have been safely evacuated from Liuyun City, but the kind of medicine that can make people hallucinate, we have a limited amount in our hands, and we can't let all the officers and sailors of the Salad Navy on the warship eat the wine and food mixed with this drug." ”

Liu Huaizhong opened his mouth and said: "As long as we can capture seven super dreadnought battleships and six dreadnought battleships, we will be equivalent to making a great contribution to the Tang Empire!" I hope that the old man's decision is right, after we start to do it, we can't turn back, the old man is sorry for the emperor! ”

Tang Guoyi hesitated for a moment and said: "Marquis Liu, now that the Liuyun Empire has been annexed by the Tang Empire, it is the general trend for our Royal Navy of the Liuyun Empire to do this, we can't really follow the Salad Navy to leave the Liuyun Empire!" ”

Faced with the current situation in the Liuyun Empire, the Sharad Empire knew very well that it was powerless, so it had to order the Sharad Imperial troops stationed in the concessions of the Liuyun Empire, that is, the four infantry divisions of the Sharad Royal Army, to escort the civilians of the Sharad Empire in the concession, rush to Huitong City as soon as possible, join the Sharad Navy Liuyun Fleet in Huitong Port, and then evacuate directly from Huitong Port.

Because the fleet of the Salad Navy is stationed in the Liuyun Empire, the Royal Navy of Sharad is called the Liuyun Fleet.

As for the four Shalad Army infantry divisions that are currently surrounded by the troops of the Tang Empire, the War Department of the Shalad Empire only gave them the order to wait for an opportunity to break through, and in fact gave up these four infantry divisions, and vaguely told the division commanders of these four infantry divisions that they were allowed to surrender to the troops of the Tang Empire if they were forced to do so.

The name of the commander of the Salad Royal Navy's Liuyun Fleet in Huitong Port is Nissim, and Nisim asked Liu Huaizhong to lead the main force of the Royal Navy of the Liuyun Empire, follow the Salad Navy's Liuyun Fleet under his command, and evacuate Huitong Port together, return to the mainland of the Sharad Empire, and wait for the opportunity to counterattack the Liuyun Empire again, but Liu Huaizhong has not agreed.

Liu Huaizhong nodded slightly and said: "The old man is sixty years old this year, and he is not willing to be a lackey for the Sharad Empire, I hope that Su Yi can really create a miracle." ”

Tang Guoyi immediately said: "Marquis Liu, don't worry, don't look at the seven first-class powers of Yingluoba, Sharad, Noomi, Monia, Gisk, Ruierlan, and Orenza, but if the Tang Empire completely conquers the Liuyun Empire, Su Yi will have three of the four major empires of the Eastern Continent in his hands, and the three kingdoms of Datang, Liuyun, and Ziyue combined, with a population of more than four billion, and Su Yi still has a large number of weapons and equipment in his hands, so that he can arm tens of millions of land forces, and the Seven Nations Alliance wants to defeat Su Yi, It's not that easy, not to mention that the combat effectiveness of the Tang Empire Army and the Purple Moon Empire Army under Su Yi is not comparable to our Liuyun Empire's Royal Army. ”

After a pause, Tang Guoyi continued: "What's more, Su Yi still has a powerful navy in his hands that makes the Seven Nations Alliance very scrupulous, the final outcome of this war is still unpredictable, Su Yi may not have no possibility of winning, which is also the reason why I strongly recommend that Marquis Liu send Mu Qing's little girl to the palace of the Tang Empire, since we all have to gamble, then why not bet bigger." ”

Liu Huaizhong said with a determined look in his eyes: "Now that the arrow is ready to be sent, pass on the old man's order, according to the original plan, let the world take a look today, our Liuyun Empire's Royal Navy is not a fish belly." ”

At this time, in the bridge of the Knight, the super dreadnought battleship of the Sharad Navy, Boris, the captain of the Knight, said to Nissim, the commander of the Flowing Cloud Fleet: "Commander, the Admiral of the Flowing Cloud Empire has invited you and many of the senior officers of our Flowing Cloud Fleet to attend his birthday banquet at the largest hotel in Huitong City this evening. ”

Commander Nissim pursed his lips and said, "Now that the Flowing Cloud Empire is on the verge of extinction, it is a huge irony that the Admiral of the Flowing Cloud Empire still has leisure to celebrate his birthday. ”

Boris, the captain of the Knight, then asked, "Commander, shall we go to the birthday party of the Admiral of the Flowing Cloud Empire?" ”

Commander Nisim said indifferently: "The four infantry divisions of the Royal Army, escorting civilians from all over the concessions, if they all want to arrive in Huitong City, it will take at least ten days to attend a birthday party, which will not delay our retreat plan, and I just took the opportunity to talk to the naval minister of the Liuyun Empire about evacuating Huitong Port together." ”

Boris, the captain of the Knight, frowned and said, "Commander, I don't understand why I want to evacuate Huitong Port with the navy of the Liuyun Empire, after all, the strength of the navy of the Liuyun Empire is not worth mentioning. ”

Commander Nisim explained: "Although the strength of the Liuyun Empire's navy is very weak, but in Huitong Port, the Liuyun Empire's navy also has two former dreadnought battleships, six ironclad battleships, four large armored cruisers, four medium armored cruisers, twelve light cruisers, twelve destroyers, forty torpedo boats and twenty gunboats, all of which add up to nearly a hundred warships. Moreover, Liu Huaizhong has served as the Minister of the Navy of the Liuyun Empire for many years, and has a very great influence in the entire Liuyun Empire. ”

"What if Liu Huaizhong doesn't agree all the time?"

"There are some things that can't be done by him!"

Boris, the captain of the Knight, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Commander, the Tang Empire Navy has already appeared in the waters of the Liuyun Empire, can our Liuyun Fleet successfully break through the interception of the Tang Empire Navy and return to the mainland?" ”

Commander Nisim shrugged his shoulders and said: "I am not very sure whether I can break through the interception of the Tang Empire Navy, but there is news from the Admiralty that the main force of the Tang Empire Navy is still in Huifeng Port of the Tang Empire, and our Liuyun Fleet still has a great chance of success. ”

At about 4 o'clock in the afternoon of October 10, Nissim, commander of the Liuyun Fleet of the Sharad Navy, and hundreds of senior officers of the Sharad Navy came to the largest hotel in Huitong City to attend the dinner on the 60th birthday of Liu Huaizhong, the Minister of the Liuyun Empire.

In addition to the hundreds of senior naval officers of the Sharad who came to attend the birthday banquet, there were also more than 200 officers of the Royal Navy of the Liuyun Empire, hundreds of officers of the Fifth Infantry Regiment of the Royal Army of the Liuyun Empire, and dozens of local officials of Huitong City attended, and a hundred tables of banquets were held in this hotel, and the guards around the more than 200 senior officers of the Salad Navy accounted for 25 of the banquets.

At the same time, thousands of officers and men of the Royal Navy of the Liuyun Empire sent a large amount of good wine and food to the warships of the Salad Navy.

The Royal Navy of the Liuyun Empire had done this many times before, so the officers and men of the Salad Navy who stayed on the warship did not refuse the kindness of the Royal Navy of the Liuyun Empire, and many of the officers and men of the Salad Navy would even say a happy birthday to the Minister of the Navy Liu Huaizhong in Salad when receiving the wine and food.

The commander of the Salad Navy Liuyun Fleet Nessim sat next to Liu Huaizhong, and after the dinner began, when he and Liu Huaizhong were pushing the cup and exchanging glasses, Nissim opened his mouth and asked Liu Huaizhong: "Marquis, I don't know how you think about the evacuation of Huitong Port with our Salad Royal Navy Liuyun Fleet?" After the four infantry divisions of our Salad Royal Army arrive at Huitong City, our Salad Royal Navy's Liuyun Fleet will set off. ”

Liu Huaizhong glanced down at his watch, and then said with a wry smile: "Count Nesim, although the current situation is very unfavorable to our Liuyun Empire, but after all, Liuyun City is still there, and our Emperor Majesty of the Liuyun Empire is still there, and the matter of leaving with the Salad Navy is not something that I, the Minister of the Navy, can decide alone." ”
