Chapter 54: The Orenza Empire in the Quagmire of War

With a bang, the Emperor of the Orenza Empire, Modest, slapped the table hard, and immediately quieted the ministers and generals in the main hall.

"This is my palace, not a vegetable market, if you have any suggestions, say them one by one!" Emperor Modest said to the ministers and generals with sharp eyes.

At this time, Nikifuor, the prime minister of the Orenza Empire, came out and said: "Your Majesty is angry, the minister thinks that our Royal Navy of the Orenza Empire should not start a decisive battle with the fleet under the command of the baron of the Liuyun Empire, after all, more than two months ago, even the world's second largest Salad Imperial Navy was defeated in the hands of this baronial fleet, with the strength of our Royal Navy of the Orenza Empire, it is difficult to win in this decisive battle at sea." ”

As soon as Prime Minister Nikifor's words fell, Mihailo, the Minister of the Admiralty of the Orenza Empire, came out and said: "Your Majesty, with the four newly commissioned dreadnought battleships, our Royal Navy of Orenza already has eighteen dreadnought battleships, plus seventeen former dreadnought battleships and twenty-five ironclad battleships, the number of capital ships of our Orenza Royal Navy has reached sixty, and the minister is confident that he can defeat the baron fleet of the Liuyun Empire!" ”

Prime Minister Nikifuer frowned and said: "Marquis Mihailo, plus the two Ares-class battleships that captured the Sharad Navy, that baron's fleet has at least eight super dreadnought battleships, and also has four new type battlecruisers, how can you be confident that you can defeat this baronial fleet?" ”

Mihailo then said aloud: "Prime Minister, have you not heard that ants bite elephants to death? As far as I know, the Baron's fleet has a fatal flaw, that is, it lacks auxiliary small and medium-sized warships, and if a decisive battle breaks out with it, our Royal Navy of Orenza can use a large number of battleships to pin down the opponent's capital ship formation, and then let hundreds of light cruisers, destroyers, and torpedo boats launch torpedo attacks on its capital ships. ”

Prime Minister Nikifore pursed his lips and said: "Marquis Mihailo, according to your plan, even if our Royal Navy of Orensa defeats the fleet of barons, presumably the entire Royal Navy of Orenza will not have much strength left, so who will protect the thousands of miles of sea frontier of our Orenza Empire in the future!" ”

"Prime Minister rest assured, even if there is only one torpedo boat left in the Royal Navy of Orenza, it can still defend the 10,000-mile sea frontier of our Orenza Empire!"

"Marquis Mihailo, I'm reasoning with you, and it's not interesting for you to argue with me!"

Emperor Modest saw Prime Minister Nikifore and Navy Minister Mihailo quarreling, and couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, the two of them had a grudge because of the issue of naval military spending, and nine out of ten court meetings would quarrel between these two people.

"Prime Minister, Mihailo, can't you speak calmly? Why do you have to quarrel every time? Do you really think that my palace is a vegetable market? Emperor Modest's face darkened.

Prime Minister Nikifore and Admiral Mikhailo heard that Emperor Modest was a little angry, and hurriedly pleaded guilty to Emperor Modest.

Emperor Modest was accustomed to the quarrel between Prime Minister Nikifore and Admiral Mihailo, and if it weren't for the fact that Su Yi was about to lead his fleet to the Purple Moon Empire and made Emperor Modest feel a little bad today, he would not have cared about it, but would have been happy to see it.

If all the important officials of the court were harmonious, Emperor Modest would be a little worried.

Emperor Modest then asked Deputy Prime Minister Sisoy, "Deputy Prime Minister, what is your opinion on the Baronial fleet of the Liuyun Empire?" ”

Deputy Prime Minister Sisoy came out and said: "The minister feels that dealing with the baronial fleet of the Liuyun Empire should not be borne by our Orenza Royal Navy, since the navies of the Sharad Empire and the Gisk Empire have suffered losses on this baronial fleet, our Orenza Empire can completely unite the navies of these two countries and work together to deal with this baronial fleet, not to mention that the Sharad Empire and the Gisk Empire are still allies with our Orenza Empire, and they are also obliged to help our Orenza Empire and destroy this baronial fleet!" ”

Emperor Modest said with some hesitation: "At the beginning, there was an agreement between our Orenza Empire and the Sharad Empire and the Gisk Empire, and the Purple Moon Empire will become the sphere of influence of our Orenza Empire in the future. ”

Deputy Prime Minister Sisoy said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, judging from the current battlefield situation, our Orenza Empire wants to force the Purple Moon Empire to submit, but it is still far away, so the minister suggests that not only must the navies of the Sharad Empire and the Jisk Empire be brought in, but it is best to let the land forces of the two countries also join the battlefield of the Purple Moon Empire, our Orenza Empire is already a little unable to afford it." ”

Deputy Prime Minister Sisoy's words made many ministers and generals in the hall nod, including Prime Minister Nikifor, and Navy Minister Mihailo, and even Emperor Modest was deeply impressed with what Deputy Prime Minister Sisoy said.

At the beginning of the war, because it was an undeclared war, in the face of the ill-prepared Purple Moon Empire, the Orenza Empire only took three days to wipe out more than 800,000 land forces of the Purple Moon Empire, and also severely damaged the two main fleets of the Purple Moon Empire's navy.

In the three months of the war, the Orenza Empire had occupied more than two million square kilometers of the Purple Moon Empire, wiped out more than 2.5 million land forces of the Purple Moon Empire, and even the army units of the Orenza Empire had reached the capital of the Purple Moon Empire, and they were about to force the Purple Moon Empire to submit.

However, what the Orenza Empire never expected was that the emperor and the royal family of the Purple Moon Empire were so hard that they were unwilling to give in even if they died in battle, and as a result, the emperor and the five princes of the Purple Moon Empire were all killed in the capital Purple Moon City, but the resistance of the Purple Moon Empire's army in the capital Purple Moon City was still not over, and at present, the Orenza Empire had lost nearly half a million people in Purple Moon City alone.

The troops of the Orenza Imperial Army that launched an attack in several other directions also encountered the stubborn resistance of the Purple Moon Imperial Army, and after a month of fierce fighting, the attacking troops of the Orenza Imperial Army in a certain direction even advanced less than five kilometers.

After the new empress of the Purple Moon Empire ascended the throne, the resistance of the Purple Moon Empire to the Orenza Imperial army increased a lot, and even in the occupied area of the Orenza Imperial army, there were many guerrillas of the Purple Moon Empire, constantly attacking the logistics supply lines of the Orenza Imperial army.

It can be said that now the Orenza Empire has fallen into the quagmire of war in the Purple Moon Empire, and it is in a dilemma.
