Inside the bridge of the Yongxiang, the flagship of the Independent Fleet, Su Yi, who was originally a little nervous, couldn't help frowning when he saw the combined naval fleet of the Jisk Empire and the Orenza Empire giving way to sailing, "What do they mean by this?" ”

At this time, Wang Chengliang, the commander of the independent fleet, said: "Marshal, I see that the navies of the Jisk Empire and the Orenza Empire appear here, not to start a decisive battle with our independent fleet, but to prevent our independent fleet from attacking the largest shipyard of the Jisk Empire, the Groning Shipyard. ”

Wang Chengliang's guess was accurate, the Groning shipyard in the Wessel Strait is the largest shipyard in the Jisk Empire, accounting for almost half of the production capacity of the Jisk Empire's shipbuilding industry.

The four Holy Sword-class dreadnought battleships that have just entered service in the Royal Navy of the Gisk Empire have all been built at the Groning Shipyard, and now there are three super dreadnought battleships in the Groning Shipyard that have been laid with keels and are under construction.

These three Cactus-class battleships named by the Royal Navy of the Gisk Empire are the first super dreadnought battleships designed and built by the Gisk Empire itself, and will be equipped with five twin 45 times caliber 343 mm main guns, with a design displacement of more than 26,000 tons.

Because in the naval battle outside the port of Kangshan, the losses of the Royal Navy of the Gisk Empire were very large, and the Emperor Lazaric of the Gisk Empire was negotiating with the Ministry of Finance and the Admiralty of the Gisk Empire, preparing to order three more Cactus-class battleships from the Groning Shipyard to make up for the loss of the capital ships of the Royal Navy of the Gisk Empire, so that the Royal Navy of the Gisk Empire could return to the fifth position of the world's navy.

After the naval battle outside Kangshan Harbor, the ranking of the Royal Navy of the Gisk Empire in the world's navies immediately dropped from fifth to seventh, and even though the four new Holy Sword-class dreadnought battleships joined the Royal Navy of the Gisk Empire, their ranking remained unchanged.

Since the Admiralty of the Jisk Empire learned that Su Yi led the fleet and army under his command and was rushing to the Purple Moon Empire, it became very nervous, you must know that the Wessel Strait can be said to be the only way for the fleet under Su Yi's command, in case Su Yi's fleet passes through the Wessel Strait, and by the way, the Groning shipyard is shelled, then the loss of the Jisk Empire will be great.

When the Orenza Empire invited the Gisk Empire to join the Purple Moon Empire on the battlefield, in addition to the post-war benefits, the Gisk Empire also asked the Royal Navy of the Orensa Empire to send most of its main force to form a joint fleet with the Royal Navy of the Gisk Empire to ensure the safety of the Groning shipyard.

After the main naval forces of the two countries were brought together, the number of battleships alone reached eighty-eight, including thirty-two dreadnought battleships, but the two navies were not prepared to start a decisive naval battle with the independent fleet under Su Yi in the Wessel Strait.

The navies of the two countries have some careful thoughts, after all, the independent fleet under Su Yi is quite strong, and it also has dozens of battleships, and it also includes a number of super dreadnought battleships and new battle cruisers.

Once the navies of the two countries have a decisive battle with the independent fleet under Su Yi, even if the two navies win in the end, it will be a disastrous victory, and even the navies of the two countries have no confidence in defeating the independent fleet under Su Yi.

Therefore, the navies of Gisk and Orenza are still ready to wait for the convergence with the fleets sent by the Royal Navy of the Sharad Empire, gather the strength of the navies of the three countries, and then compete with the independent fleet under Su Yi.

Su Yi smiled slightly and said, "Originally, I didn't have any idea about the Groning Shipyard, but the navy of the Gisk Empire and the Orensa Empire made such a posture, which made me interested in the Groning Shipyard a lot. ”

When Wang Chengliang heard this, he immediately said with some worry: "Marshal, the navies of Gisk and Orenza have gathered hundreds of warships here, of which there seem to be seventy or eighty battleships, plus the Groning Shipyard is located in Groning Port, and there are many shore defense guns, it will be very difficult for our independent fleet to destroy the Groning Shipyard." ”

Su Yi waved his hand and said, "I don't want the Independent Fleet to attack the Groning Shipyard, but I have some ideas about the Groning Shipyard itself, maybe we can take down the Groning Shipyard in the future!" ”

Wang Chengliang's eyes lit up, "Marshal, the scale of the Groning Shipyard can be ranked among the top in the whole world, I heard that there are only ten docks of more than 30,000 tons, if our Su army can take the Groning Shipyard, there will be no shortage of docks for the independent fleet to maintain battleships, and in the Groning Shipyard, there are also three super dreadnought battleships under construction for the Imperial Navy of Gisk." ”

With the increasing number of battleships in the Independent Fleet, the dockyard of the Kangshan Port Shipyard is already a little insufficient, and the Kangshan Port Shipyard can barely maintain four super dreadnought battleships at the same time, and many super dreadnought battleships of the Independent Fleet, the four 25,000-ton docks of the Kangshan Port Shipyard can only be barely put down, which increases the difficulty of repairing many super dreadnought battleships.

He Yunfei, the commander-in-chief of the army unit of the Su family army next to him, frowned and said: "Marshal, the Groning Shipyard is the largest shipyard in the Jisk Empire after all, even if our Su family army can capture the Groning Shipyard, the Jisk Empire will definitely not give up, with the current strength of the Su Army, ......"

Su Yi said with a smile: "I don't want to seize the Groning Shipyard in the near future, wait for the three super dreadnought battleships in the Groning Shipyard to be completed!" ”

At this time, in the bridge of the Holy Sword, the flagship of the First Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Gisk Empire, the commander of the First Fleet of the Gisk Empire, Nikono, sighed and said: "I really want to lead the fleet and fight a decisive battle with this baronial fleet to avenge the naval battle of Kangshan Harbor!" ”

Standing beside Nikono, the vice-admiral of the Gisk Empire, Gorgei, shook his head and said: "Even if our Royal Navy of Gisk is willing to fight to the death with this baronial fleet here, the Royal Navy of Orenza will definitely not agree, and if you want to take revenge, you can only wait for the Royal Navy of Sharad to come over and study it." ”

The Royal Navy of the Gisk Empire gathered most of the warships of the main fleet together, and the Admiralty Gorgei was appointed as the temporary commander-in-chief of the main fleet of the Royal Navy of the Gisk Empire.

On the bridge of the Dreadnought Crown, the flagship of the Royal Navy of the Orenza Empire, Grusha, the captain of the Crown, asked Mihailo, the Minister of the Admiralty of the Orenza Empire, "Marquis Mihailo, are we just letting the fleet of the barons of the Cloud Empire pass through the Wessel Strait?" ”

Mihailo, the Minister of the Orenza Empire's Admiralty, sighed and said, "Your Majesty doesn't want our Orenza Royal Navy to suffer too much loss, so we can only wait for the Salad Royal Navy to join our Orenza Royal Navy and the Gisk Royal Navy, and then study how to destroy the Baron fleet of the Liuyun Empire." ”

"Marquis Mihailo, why don't you shell the coastal cities of the Jisk Empire with this baronial fleet of the Liuyun Empire all the way, in that case, the losses of the Jisk Empire will be great."

"Maybe the Gisk Empire is also the same as our Orenza Empire, secretly warning this baron fleet, once this baron fleet shells the coastal cities of our Orenza Empire, causing a large number of civilian casualties, our Orenza Empire will take all measures to retaliate against the Tang people in the territory of the Purple Moon Empire!"
