Chapter 64 A low-interest loan of 50 million British dollars

Regarding the olive branch thrown by the Purple Moon Empire, Su Yi hesitated for a moment and said to Prime Minister Guo Xian: "Prime Minister, if I accept the canonization of Her Majesty the Empress of your Purple Moon Empire, my hereditary baron in the Liuyun Empire will be cancelled, and this matter will have a great impact on me and even my family, so I need to think about it for a while." ”

Su Yi didn't care too much about which country he became, even if Su Yi didn't have the status of a hereditary nobleman, he would still grab the territory that should be grabbed, and now he was the hereditary baron of the Liuyun Empire, and he hadn't captured the largest military port in the Celestial Star Empire.

Su Yi said that he was considering, but in fact, it was more perfunctory.

Prime Minister Guo Xian said with a smile: "It is true that General Su should be given more time to think about it, General Su does not need to worry, the door of our Purple Moon Empire will always be open for General Su!" ”

After Prime Minister Guo Xian finished speaking, he gave the Minister of the Navy Liu Yongcheng another look, and Liu Yongcheng immediately said to Su Yi: "General Su, Her Majesty wants you to become the hereditary earl of the Purple Moon Empire, and there is another layer of intention, that is, I hope that the royal family of the Purple Moon Empire can marry General Su. ”

Su Yi couldn't help but be stunned, "Getting married?" ”

Next, I heard Prime Minister Guo Xian say that the royal family of the Purple Moon Empire wanted to marry the second princess Ouyang Qian to him, so Su Yi suddenly didn't know how to answer, he didn't even know whether the second princess was beautiful or ugly!

According to the regulations of the royal family of the Purple Moon Empire, the princess of the royal family can only marry hereditary nobles or honorary nobles of her own country, and cannot marry people from other countries.

Prime Minister Guo Xian and Navy Minister Liu Yongcheng did not talk to Su Yi about the marriage, they were very confident in the appearance of the second princess Ouyang Qian, as long as Su Yi saw the second princess Ouyang Qian herself, presumably the person who was in a hurry to marry would become Su Yi.

After agreeing to Prime Minister Guo Xian to send troops to assist the northern and eastern regions of the Purple Moon Empire, the next day Su Yi sent two marine brigades to the northern and eastern regions of the Purple Moon Empire, because after the rank was promoted to captain, the monthly purchase limit of the army's four artillery pieces in the system mall increased by twenty times, so Su Yi, who was not short of artillery, also equipped these four marine brigades with 75 mm field guns, 105 mm howitzers and 155 mm howitzers, and doubled the number.

According to the establishment of the Su Army's army units, the battalion artillery company will be equipped with 12 75mm field guns, the regimental artillery battalion will be equipped with 12 105mm howitzers, and the brigade artillery regiment will be equipped with 12 155mm howitzers.

After the four marine brigades of the Su Army joined the battlefields in the northern and eastern regions of the Purple Moon Empire respectively, relying on a large number of artillery, especially the M1 155mm howitzers, they immediately caused the army of the Shalad Empire and the army of the Jisk Empire to suffer a big loss.

You must know that the maximum firing range of the M1 155 mm howitzer has reached 14,600 meters, and the heavy firepower of the Sharad Imperial Legion level is a 150 mm howitzer, but the maximum range of this howitzer is just over 10,000 meters, and an infantry regiment of the Sharad Empire is only equipped with eight 150mm howitzers.

The heavy firepower of the Gisk Imperial Corps level is a howitzer with a caliber of 155 mm, but the maximum range of this howitzer of the Gisk Empire is less than 9,000 meters, and an infantry regiment of the Gisk Empire is also equipped with eight 155 mm howitzers.

As soon as the M1 155mm howitzer of the Su Jiajun appeared in the northern and eastern regions of the Purple Moon Empire, it immediately suppressed the large-caliber artillery of the Sharad Empire and the Jisk Empire, and also brought very heavy casualties to the armies of the Shalad Empire and the Jisk Empire.

With the reinforcements of the Su family's army, the Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire slowly stabilized the battle lines in the northern and eastern regions.

In the palace of Merseca City, the capital of the Yingluoba Empire, the world's largest power, Penelope, the emperor of the Yingluoba Empire, put a few pieces of paper in his hand on the table, and then asked Prime Minister August in a deep voice: "What do you think of the war in the Purple Moon Empire?" ”

Prime Minister August immediately said: "Your Majesty, according to the latest information, after the Purple Moon Empire received reinforcements from the baron of the Liuyun Empire, it is already a little impossible for the Sharad Empire, the Jisk Empire and the Orenza Empire to completely defeat the Purple Moon Empire in a short period of time. ”

After the Sharad Empire forced the Cangyu Empire and the Liuyun Empire to sign an armistice agreement respectively, the Sharad Empire can be said to be full of food, which makes the Yingluoba Empire jealous and worried.

You must know that the Salad Empire is recognized as the second most powerful country in the world, and has been trying to challenge the status of the British Empire as the first world power, and the British Empire does not want to see the strength of the Salad Empire become stronger.

Originally, after the war between the Salad Empire and the Cangyu Empire, the Yingluoba Empire was ready to aid the Cangyu Empire, but unfortunately the Cangyu Empire was defeated too quickly and did not give the Yingluoba Empire a chance to make a move.

Emperor Penelope nodded slightly and said: "The baron of the Liuyun Empire is really surprising, I didn't expect that he not only has a powerful naval fleet in his hands, but also the army unit he has formed has good combat effectiveness, by the way, those battleships and so many army weapons and equipment in the fleet under the command of that baron, has the intelligence department found out the source?" ”

Prime Minister August shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, the intelligence department has invested a lot of manpower and material resources to investigate this matter, but so far, there have been no useful clues at all. ”

"Let the intelligence department continue to investigate, a battleship with a displacement of tens of thousands of tons can't fall from the sky! In addition, for the assistance to the Purple Moon Empire, the cabinet must also draw up a plan as soon as possible, and then let the Sharad Empire expand so unscrupulously, and the position of our Yingluoba Empire's first world power will be snatched away by the Sharad Empire if it is not done well! ”

"What Your Majesty said is very true, and the cabinet will definitely implement this matter as soon as possible."

After getting in touch with the Purple Moon Empire, the cabinet of the Yingluoba Empire decided to give the Purple Moon Empire a low-interest loan of 50 million British dollars, which the Purple Moon Empire could use to buy weapons and ammunition from the Yingroba Empire, and the Yingroba Empire would give preferential treatment in terms of price.

Immediately, the Purple Moon Empire used a loan of 50 million British dollars to purchase 300,000 new repeating rifles, 2 million breech single-shot rifles, 4,000 light machine guns, 500 heavy machine guns, 4 billion rounds of ammunition, 30 million grenades, 500 mortars, 100,000 mortar shells, 100 75mm field guns, 50,000 75mm shells, 50,000 105mm howitzers and 20,000 105mm shells, of which 2 million breech single-shot rifles were mothballed weapons by the Anglopa Imperial Army.

The Yingroba Empire promised to send this batch of weapons and ammunition directly to the ports on the west coast of the Purple Moon Empire.
