After the Newport Fleet was renamed the Royal Navy Independent Fleet of the Liuyun Empire, Su Yi kept the Independent Fleet in a state of combat readiness, ready to meet the navy of the Gisk Empire or the Orensa Empire at any time.

However, after more than two months have passed, not only in the sea area near Newport City, but even in the entire coast of the Liuyun Empire, there has not been a single warship of the Jisk Empire or the Orensa Empire, and the navies of these two countries have only blocked the coasts of the Celestial Star Empire and the Purple Moon Empire respectively, and it seems that they have no intention of entering the sea area of the Liuyun Empire.

In this regard, Su Yi not only did not feel relaxed, but felt more and more pressure, in the past two months, the situation in the three kingdoms of Cangyu, Tianxing, and Purple Moon has become more and more unpleasant.

So far, the Cangyu Empire has lost nearly 3.6 million army troops, of which more than 2.7 million have been captured, and four provinces have been completely occupied by the army of the Salad Empire, plus other areas captured by the army of the Salad Empire, almost 2.8 million square kilometers of the Cangyu Empire have fallen, accounting for almost one-tenth of the land area of the Cangyu Empire.

The reason why the army of the Sharad Empire advanced so fast was not only because of the huge gap in the weapons and equipment of the two sides, but also because the army of the Sharad Empire was equipped with a large number of cars, motorcycles and pack horses, and the railways in the Cangyu Empire also helped the Sharad Empire army a lot.

At present, the Sharad Empire has invested about 3.2 million troops in the Cangyu Empire, and only suffered less than 250,000 casualties.

The army of the Cangyu Empire originally only had more than nine million people, and it lost nearly three and a half million in just over two months, and many of them were the royal army of the Cangyu Empire with the strongest combat effectiveness, which made the top and bottom of the Cangyu Empire feel panic.

Although the mobilization ability of the Cangyu Empire is good, and it is the most populous country in the world, the total strength of the Cangyu Empire's army has increased instead of decreasing, and has exceeded 12 million, but due to the lack of weapons, many soldiers can only share a breech single-shot rifle with two or three people.

Now the Cangyu Empire can only hope to use its huge forces and vast territory to drag down the army of the Sharad Empire.

The Celestial Star Empire is facing the Jisk Empire, the fifth largest country in the world, and has lost more than 1.7 million troops, of which 1.2 million are captured, and almost a million square kilometers of land have been captured by the troops of the Jisk Empire.

The Purple Moon Empire was beaten even worse by the Orenza Empire, the seventh largest power in the world, losing almost two million square kilometers of land, the original 3.5 million army of the Purple Moon Empire, and now there are less than two million left, if it weren't for the Purple Moon Empire's temporary recruitment of more than 3 million recruits, plus the Liuyun Empire's additional 600,000 troops to the territory of the Purple Moon Empire, the situation of the Purple Moon Empire would have been even worse.

If it is said that the situation of the land war, because of the distance, has little to do with Su Yi, but the Admiralty of the Liuyun Empire, a piece of information from the Admiralty a few days ago made Su Yi feel the pressure.

In mid-March, the world's second-largest Salad Imperial Navy entered service with four new warships, and it was four super dreadnought battleships equipped with 343mm guns.

According to the information transmitted by the Cangyu Empire, the four super dreadnought battleships of the Sharad Empire, eight dreadnought battleships, eight former dreadnought battleships, sixteen ironclad battleships, as well as hundreds of other types of warships and dozens of supply ships, formed a huge fleet, which was moving along the coastline of the Cangyu Empire, and crossed the largest military port of the Cangyu Empire, Huifeng Port.

You must know that most of the main forces of the Cangyu Empire's navy are hiding in Huifeng Port, which has hundreds of large-caliber coastal defense guns, at this time.

Su Yi felt that since the target of the fleet of the Shalad Empire was not the Cangyu Imperial Navy in Huifeng Harbor, it was very likely that it was coming for the independent fleet of the Royal Navy of the Liuyun Empire under his command.

Su Yi couldn't figure it out, the independent fleet only had two super dreadnought battleships, two former dreadnought battleships, two large armored cruisers, six light cruisers and eighteen destroyers on the surface, and the other warships had been hidden by Su Yi.

On the morning of April 12, 3011 in the Tang calendar, on the vast sea, a huge fleet was sailing from west to east, and this fleet was the expeditionary fleet of the Sharad Empire, which made Su Yi feel pressure.

Inside the bridge of the flagship Ares of War, Denis, the Vice-Admiral of the Sharad Empire, said with a sigh: "Such a long journey is simply a test of people's willpower!" ”

The Ares is one of the four super dreadnought battleships that the Sharad Empire has just entered service, and it is the first ship, so the four super dreadnought battleships are named the Ares class, with five twin 45 times the caliber of 343 mm main guns, a standard displacement of 25,300 tons, and a full load displacement of 26,700 tons.

Denis is the commander of the expeditionary fleet of the Sharad Empire, and is also one of the most famous generals in the Sharad Empire's navy, holding the title of hereditary count of the Sharad Empire.

The royal power of the Sharad Empire was very strong, and many hereditary nobles joined the royal army.

Luo Feiye, the captain of the Ares next to him, hesitated for a moment and said, "Count Denis, I have always had a question in my heart these days, even if the Liuyun Empire has two super dreadnought battleships, there is no need for our Shalad Empire's navy to form an expeditionary fleet, right?" The Gisk Empire has eighteen dreadnought battleships, the Orenza Empire has fourteen dreadnought battleships, and the ants bite the elephant to death, and any one of these two countries' navies can wipe out the two super dreadnought battleships of the Liuyun Empire, so why bother the navy of our Sharad Empire to rush all the way to the south of the Liuyun Empire! ”

Denis smiled slightly and said: "Viscount Rofeyer, there is one thing you don't know, the reason why our Sharad Empire joined this war is because the Jisk Empire and the Orensa Empire are willing to attribute the interests of the Cangyu Empire and the Liuyun Empire to our Sharad Empire, and it is within the responsibility of our Sharad Empire's navy to destroy the navy of the Liuyun Empire." ”

The captain of the Ares Rofeyer, holds the title of hereditary viscount of the Salad Empire.

Rofeye frowned and said: "I've heard about this, but a Cangyu Empire is already very large, you must know that the Cangyu Empire has a land area of about 28 million square kilometers, and a population of more than 1800 million, it is very difficult for our Shalad Empire to annex the Cangyu Empire, do you still have the energy to attack the Liuyun Empire?" ”

"Hehe, Viscount Rofeyer, you may not understand the meaning of interests, our Shalad Empire is not to completely annex the Cangyu Empire and the Liuyun Empire, but to make these two countries submit to our Shalad Empire and become the raw material source and commodity dumping ground of our Sharad Empire."

After a pause, the Deputy Minister of the Admiralty of the Sharad Empire, Jennis, continued: "Our expeditionary fleet, in addition to destroying the navy of the Liuyun Empire this time, also needs to seize a foothold along the coast of the Liuyun Empire, so that our army of the Sharad Empire can land the Liuyun Empire from the sea in the future and force the Liuyun Empire to submit to our Sharad Empire." ”

"Count Denis, on several large passenger ships, there are a total of three wings of marines, adding up to only twenty-four thousand, even if you can capture a port city on the coast of the Liuyun Empire, but with the strength of three wings, can you block the counterattack of the Liuyun Empire?"

"So I'm going to seize Xingang City in the south of the Liuyun Empire, this Xingang City is surrounded by the sea on three sides, as long as there is the existence of our fleet, the Liuyun Empire is to gather millions of troops, and don't want to recapture Xingang City!"
