While the Tang Empire successfully annexed the Liuyun Empire, the Purple Moon Empire's Royal Army's attack on the Celestial Star Empire encountered great difficulties.

Although the army of the Celestial Star Empire, in the face of the powerful offensive of the Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire, was almost defeated, and a large number of officers and soldiers of the Celestial Star Empire Army chose to surrender, the Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire encountered stubborn resistance from the troops of the Jisk Empire and the Orenza Empire in the territory of the Celestial Star Empire.

As of December 20, 3013 in the Tang calendar, that is, the day when Su Yi officially announced the Tang Empire's annexation of the forty-two provinces of the Liuyun Empire, the Jisk Empire had invested more than eight million army units into the territory of the Celestial Star Empire, and the Orenza Empire had also invested more than three million troops in the territory of the Celestial Star Empire.

After several months of bloody battles with the Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire, the Gisk Empire has lost about two million troops in the territory of the Celestial Star Empire, the Orenza Empire has currently lost about 600,000 troops in the territory of the Celestial Star Empire, and the Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire, which has been on the offensive, although it has an absolute artillery advantage, has also lost more than one million under the resistance of the two armies of Gisk and Orenza.

The Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire invested a total of thirty field infantry divisions and seventy temporary infantry divisions on the battlefield of the Celestial Star Empire, and also replenished hundreds of thousands of new soldiers to each infantry division with serious losses.

The Celestial Star Empire has a land area of about 18 million square kilometers and has forty provinces, and after paying the sacrifices of millions of people, the Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire only captured less than one-eighth of the territory of the Celestial Star Empire, but it wiped out about six million of the Celestial Star Empire's army, of which more than five million officers and soldiers of the Celestial Star Empire became prisoners of the Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire.

In order to break the deadlock in the Celestial Star Empire, the Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire gathered forty field infantry divisions and sixty provisional infantry divisions at the beginning of November in the Tang Dynasty in the year 3013, and took the initiative to cross the border with the Jisk Empire and the Orenza Empire, and launched an attack on the mainland of these two countries, trying to get these two countries to withdraw their land forces in the territory of the Celestial Star Empire.

However, after the Gisk Empire and the Orensa Empire underwent a large-scale expansion, the army was sufficient, and in the face of the Purple Moon Empire's attack on their own country, these two countries did not transfer their land forces in the territory of the Celestial Star Empire, and they blocked the waves of attacks of the Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire.

As of December 20, 3013 of the Tang calendar, the Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire has lost nearly 700,000 people in the territory of the Jisk Empire and the Orenza Empire, of course, because of the superiority in artillery, the Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire has caused greater losses to the armies of these two countries, and the current war in the territory of the Jisk Empire and the Orenza Empire has also fallen into a stalemate.

Faced with the huge losses of the Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire, Su Yi began to consider whether he should put the armored forces of the Royal Air Force of the Tang Empire and the Royal Army of the Tang Empire on the battlefield of the Celestial Star Empire.

The armies of Noomi, Sharad, and Yingluoba have been continuously sending additional troops to the border areas adjacent to the Sharad Empire and the Tang Empire, but they have not launched an offensive, but have only continuously strengthened the fortifications in the border areas.

Seeing that the armies of Noomi, Shalad, and Yingluoba were not in a hurry to attack, Su Yi did not let the Royal Army of the Tang Empire launch an offensive, according to Su Yi's concept, and the battle with the armies of Noomi, Shalad, and Yingluoba, the Royal Army of the Tang Empire should focus on defense in the early stage, use strong fortifications, consume the vital strength of the three armies, and wait for the opportunity to launch a counteroffensive.

After Su Yi discussed with Cheng Ziwen, commander-in-chief of the Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire, through telegrams, and listened to the opinions of He Yunfei, commander-in-chief of the Royal Army of the Tang Empire, Su Yi finally decided to temporarily transfer half of the air force fighters and half of the equipment troops to the battlefield of the Celestial Star Empire, break the deadlock there as soon as possible, and include the Celestial Star Empire in the territory of the Tang Empire.

Anyway, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and when it comes to January 1, 3014 in the Tang calendar, Su Yi will be able to get fighter jets, 800 camel fighters, 400 Ilya Muromets heavy bombers, 1,600 Daimler armored vehicles, 800 Renault FT-17 light tanks and 800 2C heavy tanks from the system mall.

At that time, the number of air force fighters and equipment units deployed in the border areas adjacent to the Sharad Empire will increase instead of decreasing, and it will be enough to cope with the armies of Noomi, Sharad, and Yingluopa.

The time soon came to Chinese New Year's Eve in 3013 of the Tang calendar, at this time, Liu Muqing, the granddaughter of Liu Huaizhong, the former naval minister of the Liuyun Empire, had entered the imperial palace of Chang'an City and was canonized as a concubine by Su Yi.

Su Yi's other two concubines, Wei Zifang and Wei Ziyi, left a prince for Su Yi at the end of October 3013 in the Tang calendar, and at the beginning of December, the concubine Zhao Xinyan added another princess to the Tang Empire, so far Su Yi has three sons and three daughters.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, after Su Yi accompanied his women to eat the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, he came to Empress Ouyang Xue's bedchamber.

After tossing and turning with Queen Ouyang Xue in bed, Su Yi did not sleep, but waited until 0:00 in the morning on January 1, 3014 in the Tang calendar.

In the New Year's gift package given to Su Yi by the system this year, there was only one golden treasure chest, which made Su Yi frown, but after Su Yi opened the golden treasure chest, seeing the two cards opened, Su Yi suddenly showed a happy smile on his face.

Mauser 98K rifle (unit price 500 yuan, monthly limit of 6.8 million pieces).

MG-42 general-purpose machine gun (unit price 6,000 yuan, monthly purchase limit of 360,000 units).

At present, the Royal Army of the Tang Empire alone has 700 provisional infantry divisions, of which more than half have not yet been equipped with the standard weapons and equipment of the Royal Army of the Tang Empire, including 300 temporary infantry divisions that have just been formed.

And to equip each provisional infantry division with standard weapons and equipment, the most lacking thing at present is the Mauser 98k rifle and MG-42 general-purpose machine gun, now with these two more cards, Su Yi can buy eight million Mauser 98k rifles and 400,000 MG-42 general-purpose machine guns from the system mall every month, so that he can quickly arm all the temporary infantry divisions of the Royal Army of the Tang Empire and the Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire.

Next, after Su Yi saw that the annual purchase limit of all warships in the system mall had been refreshed, he immediately bought all the warships that could be purchased and stored them in the system's item warehouse.

A total of forty-four of these Super Dreadnought battleships were purchased, including four Colorado-class, four Nelson-class, four Vengeance-class, four Queen Elizabeth-class, four Bavarian-class, four Iron Duke-class, four Ise-class, four Nevada-class, four Pennsylvania-class, four New Mexico-class, and four Tennessee-class.

A total of thirty-two battlecruisers were purchased, including twelve Lion-class, eight Tiger-class, eight Kongo-class, and eight Prestige-class.

A total of sixteen Dreadnoughts were purchased, including four Giant-class, four King-class, four Earl Cavour-class, four Lone-class, and four Florida-class.

A total of sixteen former dreadnoughts were purchased, including four Edward VII-class, four Braunschweig-class, four Lord Nelson-class, and four Connecticut-class.

A total of forty-eight large armored cruisers were purchased, including twenty-four of the Minotaur class, twelve of the Scharnhorst class and twelve of the Blucher class.

A total of forty-eight light cruisers were purchased, including twenty-four Wiesbaden-class and twenty-four Cairo-class.

A total of one hundred and forty-four destroyers were purchased, including seventy-two M-class and seventy-two Vickers-class.

In addition to the warships on the surface, all thirty Type VIIC submarines were also bought by Su Yi.

Looking at the dense warships in the warehouse of system items, the smile on Su Yi's face became even brighter.

After Su Yi swept away all the fighters, airships, tanks and armored vehicles that he could buy, he fell asleep with Queen Ouyang Xue in his arms.

On the morning of the next day, Su Yi quietly left Chang'an City and rushed to Huifeng Port, the largest military port in the Tang Empire, on an armored train.

According to the intelligence of the Military Intelligence Bureau of the Tang Empire, the main naval forces of Yingluoba, Sharad, and Noomi have now gathered together to form an unusually large combined fleet of the three navies, which may start a decisive battle at sea with the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire at any time, so Su Yi rushed to Huifeng Port so impatiently, so as to show all the warships in the system item warehouse, so as to increase the strength of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire.

At two o'clock in the afternoon of January 5, 3014 in the Tang calendar, the armored train that Su Yi was riding arrived at the railway station in Huifeng City, and Wang Chengliang, the commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire, saw Su Yi get off the train, and said to Su Yi with an excited face: "Your Majesty, presumably this time we can add a lot of warships to the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire!" ”

Su Yi smiled slightly and said: "This time, there are a total of fifty-one super dreadnought battleships, thirty-four battle cruisers, twenty-two dreadnought battleships, sixteen former dreadnought battleships, forty-eight large armored cruisers, forty-eight light cruisers, one hundred and forty-four destroyers and thirty submarines, of course, these warships cannot all belong to the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire, and they have to leave a little for the Royal Navy of the Purple Moon Empire." ”

By Chinese New Year's Eve, the system inventory warehouse had seven Vengeance-class super dreadnoughts, six Florida-class dreadnoughts, and two Lion-class battlecruisers.
