On the morning of September 3, 3016 in the Tang calendar, in the palace of Merseca City, the capital of the Yingluoba Empire, Emperor Penelope frowned and said to Prime Minister Auguste: "The Emperor Lazaric of the Gisk Empire, and the Emperor of the Orenza Empire, Modeste, have sent telegrams to me, hoping that our Royal Navy of Yingluoba can take action as soon as possible with the Salad Navy and the Noomi Navy to contain the power of the Tang Navy. ”

Prime Minister August sighed at this time and said: "The attitude of the Monia Empire, the Ryerland Empire, the Revelli Kingdom and the Hessel Kingdom is very firm, if we don't take any action by the navies of Yingluoba, Sharad, and Noomi, the main naval forces of these four countries will not rescue the Gisk Navy and the Orensa Navy trapped in Groning Port, and they will not be able to open the sea passage to the Gisk Empire and the Orensa Empire." ”

Emperor Penelope then said: "Now the war situation in the territory of the Gisk Empire and the Orensa Empire is very difficult, the armies of these two countries, in the face of the attack of the Tang Empire, although they tried their best to resist, but there are still large areas of the two countries have fallen, if the armies of the Monia Empire, the Ruierland Empire, the Revelli Kingdom and the Hessel Kingdom do not enter the territory of these two countries to support, it will not be good that after a while, the capitals of these two countries will also be conquered by the Tang army." ”

After a pause, Emperor Penelope asked, "Now our Royal Navy Yingluoba, as well as the Salad Navy and Noomi Navy, can we take some action against the Datang Navy as soon as possible, so as to give some confidence to the four countries of Monia, Rilland, Revelli, and Hessel?" ”

Prime Minister August hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, now the main force of our Royal Navy Yingluopa, as well as the main force of the Noomi Navy, have arrived in the waters of the Salad Empire, and have merged with the main force of the Salad Navy, at present, our Yingluoba, Shalad, and Noomi navies have gathered two hundred and seventy-nine super dreadnought battleships, two hundred and sixty-eight battle cruisers and thirty-three dreadnought battleships, and in terms of the number of capital ships, it is more than the strength of the Datang Navy gathered in Huifeng Port, However, the combined fleet of our three navies did not have the absolute certainty of defeating the Datang Navy. ”

Huifeng Port is still the largest military port of the Tang Empire, at present, the first fleet, the second fleet, and the seventh fleet of the Tang Royal Navy are all gathered in Huifeng Port.

This time, the navies of Yingluoba, Sharad, and Noomi did not take out the former dreadnought battleships and ironclad battleships to join the combined fleet.

Emperor Penelope's brows furrowed slightly, "Since the combined fleet of our three navies has an advantage in the number of capital ships, why doesn't it have the certainty of defeating the Tang Navy?" The Datang Navy gathered in Huifeng Port is not all the strength of the Datang Navy, only the three main fleets! ”

Prime Minister August said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, in the last war of the Seven Nations Alliance against the Tang Empire, our Royal Navy of Yingluoba, the Salad Navy, and the Noomi Navy all lost a large number of naval officers and men with rich combat experience, so that now most of the soldiers in the navies of our three countries are new recruits, and many officers have just been promoted, so the combined fleet of our three navies may not be much stronger than the three main fleets of the Datang Navy gathered in Huifeng Port in terms of overall combat effectiveness." ”

Now it is not a long time since the end of the war between the Seven Nations Alliance and the Tang Empire, only a little more than two years, and it is far from enough to train a qualified naval officer and soldier, so that the actual combat effectiveness of the navies of Yingluopa, Sharad, and Noomi is weaker than shown above.

Emperor Penelope pondered for a moment and said: "There must be difficulties in fighting with the Tang Navy, but the current situation no longer allows us to have other choices, send a telegram to General Petru as soon as possible, and ask him to take some actions against the Tang Navy as soon as possible, as for whether to fight a decisive battle with the three main fleets of the Tang Navy gathered in Huifeng Port, it can be decided by General Petru himself." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister will have someone send a report to General Petru in a moment."

"Prime Minister, do you say that the armies and air forces of Yingluoba, Sharad, and Noomi should take the initiative to attack the Tang Empire to relieve the pressure on the Jisk Empire and the Orenza Empire?"

"Your Majesty, the armies and air forces of our Yingluopa, Shalad, and Noomi have not yet completed the final assembly, and if we want to launch an attack on the mainland of the Tang Empire, we must wait at least until the end of October."

In the last war, Petru once led the expeditionary fleet of the Royal Navy of Yingluoba, and joined the expeditionary fleets of the navies of Sharad, Noomi, Monia, and Rillland, and fought a naval battle with the Royal Navy of the Tang Dynasty that determined the direction of the war, and of course, in the end, the Royal Navy of the Tang Dynasty won the naval battle.

This time, Petrul was still appointed as the commander of the entire Royal Navy of Yingluopa, and brought almost all of the Royal Navy of Yingroba to the coast of the Sharad Empire.

After receiving a telegram from Merseca, the capital of the British Empire, Petru immediately invited the Royal Navy Commander of Sharad, Janis, and the Royal Navy Commander Noomi Porfi, to the bridge of the British Royal Navy's flagship Princess Alice Super Dreadnought.

Although the Royal Navy of Yingroba now has a super dreadnought battleship with a larger displacement, the flagship of the Royal Navy of Yingroba has not changed, and it is still the Princess Alice, the lead ship of the Princess Alice class.

The two commanders invited by Petru served as the commanders of the expeditionary fleets of the Salad Royal Navy and the Noomi Royal Navy respectively in the last naval decisive battle with the Datang Royal Navy.

The Royal Navy Commander of Yingroba, Petru, handed the telegram in his hand to the Royal Navy Commander of Sharad, Dennis, and after reading it, he handed the telegram to the Royal Navy Commander of Noomi Porfi.

After Porfi read this telegram, he opened his mouth and said: "Our Emperor Majesty of the Noomi Empire actually sent me a telegram urging our three navies to launch an operation against the Tang Navy as soon as possible, it seems that the navies of our three countries can no longer continue to grind here, the Jisk Empire and the Orenza Empire can no longer hold on." ”

The commander of the Royal Navy of Sharad, Denis, said with a wry smile: "I have also received a similar reminder message, it seems that the plan of the three of us to let the combined fleet of the three navies of the three countries run in for a while longer should not be realized." ”

The commander of the Royal Navy of Yingluoba, Petru, immediately said in a deep voice: "According to the information we have now, the first main fleet of the Datang Navy gathered in Huifeng Port has seventy-seven super dreadnought battleships and seventy battle cruisers, the second main fleet of the Datang Navy has seventy-four super dreadnought battleships and thirty battle cruisers, and the seventh main fleet of the Datang Navy has eight super dreadnought battleships, sixty dreadnought battleships and twenty-four battle cruisers, in terms of the number of capital ships, The combined fleet of our three navies has a clear advantage, but the fourth main fleet and the sixth main fleet of the Datang Navy have a considerable part of their strength, and they are not far from Huifeng Port. ”

After a pause, Petru continued: "Of course, even if you count the strength of the fourth main fleet and the sixth main fleet of the Datang Navy, the combined fleet of our three navies still occupies the advantage in the number of capital ships, but if it really starts, I am very worried, after all, there are too many recruits in the navies of our three countries." ”

Noomi Royal Navy Commander Porfi sighed and said: "I also have concerns about this, a super dreadnought battleship may only take more than a year to build, but it takes at least five years or more to train a professionally qualified naval officer and sailor, or even longer, now in our Noomi Royal Navy, almost eighty percent of the soldiers did not even receive naval professional training two years ago, and now these soldiers can only be regarded as new recruits in the navy, If the combined fleet of the navies of our three countries now fights with the Datang Navy, it is really not certain who will win and who will lose! ”

Commandant of the Royal Navy of Sharad, Denis, shrugged his shoulders and said: "No matter how many difficulties there are, now that the combined fleet of our three navies has to be overcome, the three of us should study how to carry out operations against the Datang Navy!" ”

The commander of the Royal Navy of Yingluoba, Petru, nodded, "What General Denis said is extremely true, it is impossible for our three countries to watch the Jisk Empire and the Orensa Empire really be swallowed by the Tang Empire in one gulp, and now the army and air force of our three countries have not completed the preparations for launching an attack on the mainland of the Tang Empire, and we can only count on our combined fleet of the three navies." ”

Then the commanders of the navies of the three countries studied for a long time, and did not discuss any particularly good plans, and finally the commander of the Royal Navy of Sharad, Denis, said helplessly: "I think it is better to gather all the forces of the combined fleet of our three navies and directly press the Huifeng Port of the Tang Empire, only by defeating the Datang Navy in a dignified manner, can we increase the confidence of the four countries of Monia, Ruierland, Revelli, and Hessel, and let the navies of the four countries go to relieve the siege of Groning Port as soon as possible." ”

On the morning of September 6, 3016 in the Tang calendar, the Tang Empire got the exact information that the combined fleet composed of the main forces of the navies of Yingluoba, Sharad and Noomi had completed the assembly and sailed directly to the waters of the Tang Empire.

At this time, Zhang Qihui, deputy commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire, was sitting in Huifeng Port, and after receiving the secret telegram sent by the General Intelligence Bureau, Zhang Qihui immediately summoned Yuan Fan, commander of the First Fleet, Xu Liang, commander of the Second Fleet, and Li Xiaogang, commander of the Seventh Fleet.

In the bridge of the Bavaria-class super dreadnought battleship Yongxiang, the flagship of the First Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire, Zhang Qihui said to the three fleet commanders in a deep voice: "It can basically be confirmed that the joint fleet of the navies of Yingluoba, Sharad, and Noomi is targeting Huifeng Port, and a sea battle that can determine the direction of the war seems to be about to break out here in Huifeng Port." ”

Yuan Fan, the commander of the First Fleet, immediately frowned and said: "Deputy Commander-in-Chief, do you want the first and second fleets of the Fourth Fleet, as well as the second and third fleets of the Sixth Fleet, to rush to Huifeng Port immediately, with only our three main fleets, in terms of the number of capital ships, it is much worse than the combined fleets of the navies of Yingluoba, Sharad, and Noomi." ”

Zhang Qihui nodded slightly and said: "Those four teams are already on their way to Huifeng Port at this time, and when these four teams also enter Huifeng Port, in terms of the number of capital ships, our disadvantage is not so obvious." ”

The First Squadron of the Fourth Fleet, with twenty Pennsylvania-class Super Dreadnought battleships and eight Tiger-class battlecruisers, and the Second Squadron of the Fourth Fleet, with twenty New Mexico-class Super Dreadnought Battleships and eight Tiger-class battlecruisers.

The second squadron of the Sixth Fleet, with twenty-one giant-class dreadnoughts and twenty-four Moltke-class battlecruisers, and the third squadron of the Sixth Fleet, with twenty-five Florida-class dreadnoughts and twenty-four Moltke-class battlecruisers.

The three main fleets currently in Huifeng Harbor, if you add these four fleets, will have one hundred and ninety-nine super dreadnought battleships, one hundred and eighty-eight battle cruisers, and one hundred and six dreadnought battleships.

Although there is still a gap in the number of 279 super dreadnought battleships, 268 battle cruisers, and 33 dreadnought battleships in the combined fleet of the Angloba, Sharad, and Noomi navies, considering the quality of the officers and men and the performance of the warships, the weakness of the Datang Royal Navy is not obvious.

In addition, the Royal Navy of the Tang Dynasty has also deployed 400 Junkers-88 dive bombers in Huifeng Port, and with the Junkers-88 dive bombers with a range of more than 2,000 kilometers, it will certainly give a big surprise to the combined fleets of the navies of Yingluoba, Sharad, and Noomi.

The corners of Zhang Qihui's mouth curled slightly, "There is another good news to tell you, Your Majesty is already on the way to Huifeng Port, Your Majesty will come to Huifeng Port this time, and will also add a large number of new warships to our Tang Royal Navy, as for the origin of these new warships, I won't say much here, the three of you should know that when the time comes, your three fleets must cooperate with Your Majesty to blockade the entire Huifeng Port, so that Your Majesty can extract those new warships into the real world." ”
