Chapter 235: Desperate Numbers
The high-level leaders of the Han Kingdom did not expect that the Gothic Kingdom would have peace talks so soon, and while being surprised, they couldn't help but have some doubts, could it be that the Gothic Kingdom had some conspiracy? You must know that the Gothic Kingdom is the most powerful country in the world!
In the end, it was Su Yi's words that dispelled the concerns of the high-level leaders of the Han Kingdom, "Now that our Han Navy has twelve large aircraft carriers, and the fourth-generation fighters of the Navy and Air Force add up to more than two thousand, the Gothic army can't even get sea and air supremacy, so what can we do if we don't negotiate with our Han Kingdom?" ”
On the morning of May 5, 1671 in the Han calendar, the negotiators sent by the Gothic Kingdom arrived at the airport in Tianjing City, the capital of the Han Kingdom, on a passenger plane.
Only two days later, the negotiators of the Gothic Kingdom signed an armistice agreement with the negotiators sent by the Han Kingdom, and this armistice agreement almost abolished a series of treaties signed between the two countries a few years ago, and even the Gothic Kingdom paid a ransom of 3 billion Gothic coins to the Han Kingdom in order to redeem the captured more than 200,000 officers and soldiers.
Originally, the Gothic Kingdom also wanted to bring back an aircraft carrier, a missile cruiser and a missile destroyer captured by the Han Navy, so the Gothic Kingdom was willing to give another 5 billion Gothic coins to the Han Kingdom, but this was rejected by the negotiators of the Han Kingdom.
An aircraft carrier, a missile cruiser and a missile destroyer captured by the Han Navy, although the injuries are relatively serious, but they can all be repaired, and Xu Yadong, commander-in-chief of the Han Navy, has already incorporated these three warships under repair into the sequence of the Han Navy.
Although the funds of five billion Gothic coins made the high-level of the Han Kingdom a little moved, at Xu Yadong's insistence, the negotiators of the Han Kingdom had no choice but to refuse to return the three warships to the Gothic Kingdom.
The high-level of the Han Kingdom was very surprised that an armistice agreement could be signed with the Gothic Kingdom so soon, because it was obvious that the Gothic Kingdom had made considerable concessions during the negotiations, and it can be said that after the signing of the new armistice agreement, not only the official power of the Gothic Kingdom was completely cleared out of the Han Kingdom, but even the many enterprises in the Gothic Kingdom that entered the territory of the Han Kingdom would also suffer heavy losses, and it is likely that many enterprises in the Gothic Kingdom would eventually have to withdraw from the market of the Han Kingdom after losing some privileges.
However, soon the high-level of the Han Kingdom knew why the Gothic Kingdom made such a big concession in the negotiations, and on the second day after the two sides signed an armistice agreement, the Gothic Kingdom suddenly declared war on the Kingdom of Nica and the Kingdom of Erlu at the same time, and just after the declaration of war, thousands of air force fighters and 23 aircraft carrier formations were dispatched to launch air raids on multiple air bases and naval bases in the Kingdom of Iga and the Kingdom of Erlu.
The unprepared Kingdom of Nica and the Kingdom of Erlu were caught off guard by the Kingdom of Goth, the Kingdom of Nica was sunk five aircraft carriers on the first day alone, and more than a dozen warships of other types were sunk, and dozens of warships were injured, including a number of aircraft carriers, and the Air Force and Navy of the Kingdom of Nica combined, the loss of more than 1,300 third-generation fighters on the first day.
And the losses of the Eru Kingdom on the first day are not as small as the Kingdom of Niga, only four aircraft carriers were sunk.
Although the Kingdom of Niga and the Kingdom of Erlu did not expect that the Gothic Kingdom would declare war on their two countries at this time, and suffered a big loss at the beginning of the war, the Kingdom of Niga and the Kingdom of Erlu were both powerful countries in the first echelon of strength after all, and soon the Kingdom of Niga and the Kingdom of Erlu officially announced the formation of a military alliance and declared war on the Kingdom of Goth, and the Kingdom of Niga and the Kingdom of Eru soon dispatched a large number of warplanes to launch retaliatory bombing of some military targets in the Kingdom of Goth.
The rest of the world, while shocked by the sudden outbreak of war between the Gothic Kingdom and the Kingdom of Nica and the Kingdom of Erlu, also felt that it was right, after all, the contradictions between the three great powers have been a long time, and a war will break out sooner or later, but many countries are still surprised that the Gothic Kingdom chose to declare war at this time.
When the Han Kingdom announced the armistice agreement signed with the Gothic Kingdom, the countries of the world learned that the war between the Gothic Kingdom and the Han Kingdom had ended, and the armistice negotiations between the Han Kingdom and the Gothic Kingdom had been carried out secretly at the strong request of the Gothic Kingdom.
After the Gothic kingdom declared war on each other with the Niga Kingdom and the Erlu Kingdom, other countries declared neutrality, including the Han Kingdom.
In fact, both the Kingdom of Nica and the Kingdom of Erlu sent representatives to lobby the Kingdom of the Han Kingdom to join the military alliance between the two countries, but they were rejected by the Kingdom of the Han Dynasty, and the ability to drive the power of the Gothic Kingdom out of the territory of the Kingdom of the Han Kingdom has made the high-level of the Kingdom of the Han Kingdom very satisfied, and they are not willing to make any more extraneous branches.
The war between the Gothic Kingdom and the Niga Kingdom and the Erlu Kingdom became more and more fierce as time went by, and soon the millions of land forces on both sides also launched a fierce battle on the border between the Gothic Kingdom and the Erlu Kingdom.
After the armistice agreement between the Han Kingdom and the Gothic Kingdom was signed, Su Yi could finally be freed from the many military affairs of the Han Navy, for the war between the Han Kingdom and the Gothic Kingdom, in the past ten days, Su Yi has almost stayed in the world of the Han Kingdom, even if he returns to the world of the Tang Empire, the stay time is very short.
The fact that Su Yi was able to travel to another world, except for the cyborgs and clones under Su Yi's hands, no one else knew, including Su Yi's women.
Now that the war between the Han Kingdom and the Gothic Kingdom has ended, Su Yi decided to take more time to spend with his family, especially the women in the harem of the Tang Empire.
On the evening of September 10, 3015 in the Tang calendar, Su Yi accompanied Empress Ouyang Xue, Concubine Ouyang Qian and Concubine Ouyang Wan to take a walk in a garden in the palace after dinner.
During the walk, Empress Ouyang Xue couldn't help but ask Su Yi, "Your Majesty, what have you been busy with lately?" In the past few months, why can't you even spare time to eat with our sisters? ”
Su Yi said with a calm face: "Xiaoxue, I do need to deal with a lot of things recently, with the construction of new super dreadnought battleships and battle cruisers in countries such as Yingluoba, Sharad, and Noomi about to be completed, these countries have recently started a lot of small actions, I have no choice but to let the army of our Tang Empire prepare for war now, maybe in the near future, our Tang Empire will face a new war." ”
For the things that can travel to the world of the Han Kingdom, Su Yi is not ready to tell his own women, not that Su Yi does not trust his women, but he does not want them to worry about himself, and the matter of crossing into another world is indeed a bit shocking, Su Yi still hopes that fewer people will know as much as possible.
Ouyang Qian, the noble concubine next to her, frowned and asked: "Your Majesty, the war between our Tang Empire and the Seven Nations Alliance has just ended for a year, and we have signed a ten-year non-aggression pact with each other, do those countries want to tear up the non-aggression pact?" ”
Su Yi immediately said: "The reason why the Seven Nations Alliance admitted defeat last time was because the Royal Navy of our Tang Empire controlled the sea dominance, and now a new batch of super dreadnought battleships and battle cruisers from Yingluoba, Sharad, Noomi and other countries are about to enter service, so that our Royal Navy of the Tang Empire has no absolute advantage, and it will inevitably make some countries have unrealistic ideas, of course, even if those seven countries form the Seven Nations Alliance again, our Tang Empire will not be afraid at all. Especially the Royal Navy of our Tang Empire! ”
Just when Su Yi accompanied the three sisters of Ouyang Xue for a walk in the garden of the palace, in the palace of Merseca City, the capital of the Yingluoba Empire, Emperor Penelope asked Prime Minister August in a deep voice: "How long will it take for the thirty Brave-class, Thirty Tenacity-class, Thirty Pursuit-class, and Thirty Ambush-class ships that our Yingluoba Empire is building to enter service?" ”
The Brave class is a super dreadnought battleship with a 406mm gun, the Tenacity class is a super dreadnought battleship with a 381mm gun, the Pursuit class is a battlecruiser with a 406mm gun, and the Ambush class is a battle cruiser with a 381mm gun.
At present, the Royal Navy of British Roberta has thirty Tenacity-class super dreadnought battleships and thirty Ambush-class battlecruisers.
In the war between the Seven-Nation Alliance and the Tang Empire, the naval losses of the British Luoba Empire were very large, with the loss of thirty-two super dreadnought battleships alone and seventeen battle cruisers.
With thirty Tenacity-class and thirty Ambush-class ships joining the Royal Anglopa Navy, the number of super dreadnought battleships in the Royal Anglopa Navy has been restored to forty-six, and the number of battlecruisers has become thirty-seven, plus the Royal Anglopa Navy's current possession of thirteen dreadnought battleships, thirty former dreadnought battleships, and twenty ironclad battleships, although the number of British Royal Navy battleships has not recovered to the pre-war level, But in terms of strength, it has surpassed the Yingroba Navy before the battle with the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire.
Prime Minister August then said: "Your Majesty, ten Valiant and ten Pursuit classes will join our British Royal Navy next month, and in February next year, there will be twenty Brave and twenty Pursuit classes in service, and thirty Tenacious and thirty Ambush classes will all be completed in May next year, that is to say, after May next year, our British Royal Navy will have one hundred and six super dreadnought battleships and ninety-seven battle cruisers!" ”
Prime Minister Auguste's words did not make Emperor Penelope show any smile, but made Emperor Penelope frown, "Do you think the information about the Tang Navy obtained by the intelligence department is true, Prime Minister?" ”
When Prime Minister August heard this, he said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, the intelligence department should not make mistakes, I never thought that the strength of the Datang Navy would grow so fast, according to the information obtained by the intelligence department, the seven main fleets of the Datang Navy, the capital ships alone already have two hundred and sixty-one super dreadnought battleships, two hundred and forty-five battle cruisers and one hundred and seven dreadnought battleships, and in the shipyards of the Datang Empire, there are still sixty super dreadnought battleships and sixty battle cruisers under construction." ”
It wasn't the first time Emperor Penelope had heard these numbers, but every time he heard them, he felt a deep sense of despair.
Emperor Penelope asked with a gloomy face: "In addition to the thirty-six Zhenyuan-class super dreadnought battleships and thirty-six Dingyuan-class battlecruisers newly added by the Datang Navy, the other dozens of other super dreadnought battleships and dozens of battle cruisers that suddenly appeared in the Datang Navy have not been found out where they were built?" ”
Prime Minister August sighed and said: "It should still be the mysterious island shipyard, those dozens of super dreadnought battleships and dozens of battle cruisers are definitely not built in the shipyard of the Tang Empire itself." ”
Emperor Penelope snorted coldly, "Why hasn't the Royal Navy found out where that island shipyard is until now?" The shipyard that can build so many super dreadnought battleships and battlecruisers at once must be very large, and there are not many islands that can build such a large shipyard! ”
Prime Minister August said helplessly: "The Royal Navy has almost all the islands where a large shipyard can be built, but the island shipyard has not been found, and many generals of the Royal Navy even think that the island shipyard claimed by Su Yi is just a cover." ”
"So where were so many super dreadnought battleships and battlecruisers that suddenly appeared in the Tang Empire built?"
"Your Majesty, this is also a problem that has always plagued the ministers, the appearance of those super dreadnought battleships and battlecruisers in the Tang Empire is really weird."
"Could other countries have any clues about this?"
"Your Majesty, rest assured, with the strength of our Yingluoba Empire's intelligence department in various countries, as long as other countries find anything, our Yingluoba Empire's intelligence department will soon know about it."
Emperor Penelope shook his head, sighed and said: "The number of capital ships of the Tang Navy is really desperate, even if by May next year, our Yingluoba Royal Navy has one hundred and six super dreadnought battleships and ninety-seven battle cruisers, and our Yingluoba Empire does not have the confidence to seek revenge from the Tang Empire." ”
Prime Minister August hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, the countries that want to seek revenge from the Tang Empire are not only our Yingluoba Empire, but the other six countries of the Seven Nations Alliance last time, if they don't want to seek revenge from the Tang Empire, they won't build so many super dreadnought battleships and battle cruisers!" ”
