Chapter 31: The Unhappy Emperor
The news that the independent fleet of the Royal Navy of the Liuyun Empire under Su Yi had defeated the two main fleets of the Jisk Empire outside the Kangshan Port of the Celestial Star Empire soon spread throughout the world.
When many people read this news from the newspaper, their first reaction was that it was fake news, after all, the Jisk Empire is one of the seven major powers in the world, and the Jisk Empire's navy ranks fifth in the world.
And the Liuyun Empire is barely a second-class power, the navy of the Liuyun Empire can only be regarded as a third-rate navy in the world, and the strength is comparable to the navy of the Jisk Empire, which is a world of difference, and a third-rate navy defeated the world's fifth-ranked Jisk Imperial Navy, which is really unbelievable.
Even those who knew something about Su Yi's independent fleet, after learning the news, they also subconsciously thought that the news was fake, but when these people learned that Su Yi's independent fleet actually had six super dreadnought battleships and four dreadnought battleships, they were only shocked in their hearts.
"Prime Minister, you're not joking with me, are you? The fleet under Su Yi actually defeated the first fleet and the second fleet of the Jisk Empire? "Emperor Li Hong of the Liuyun Empire was completely frightened by the news brought by Prime Minister Cao Ziliang.
Prime Minister Cao Ziliang said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, this news is true, Su Yi originally had more than two super dreadnought battleships, he also had four super dreadnought battleships and four dreadnought battleships, outside the Kangshan Port of the Celestial Star Empire, the Independent Fleet relied on these ten powerful battleships to achieve a brilliant victory, the Jisk Empire was sunk seventeen battleships, and ten battleships were captured by the Independent Fleet. ”
Emperor Li Hong swallowed his saliva, he actually knew that Prime Minister Cao Ziliang couldn't joke with him, "Could it be that the four super dreadnought battleships and four dreadnought battleships that Su Yi hid were also built in a secret shipyard on an island?" ”
Prime Minister Cao Ziliang nodded and said: "It should be like this, there are only so many countries that can build dreadnought battleships, and the start of construction of each dreadnought battleship will become a hot topic in the news, and the four super dreadnought battleships and four dreadnought battleships that have emerged from the independent fleet are definitely not built by a certain naval power." ”
Emperor Li Hong then asked, "Then did the two fleets of the Celestial Star Empire in Kangshan Harbor successfully break through?" What were the losses of Su Yi's independent fleet? ”
"Your Majesty, because of the containment of the independent fleet, the navy of the Jisk Empire has no energy at all, and it is impossible to pay attention to the two fleets of the Celestial Star Empire that broke through, and in the end, the two fleets of the Celestial Star Empire left Kangshan Port unscathed, as for Su Yi's independent fleet, ......"
"What's wrong? Could it be that Su Yi's independent fleet suffered great losses? ”
Prime Minister Cao Ziliang smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, the independent fleet was almost completely victorious, not a single warship was sunk, only a few warships were slightly damaged, and the casualties were less than fifty. ”
"What! This...... That's a little too cruel, isn't it? I didn't expect the combat effectiveness of the independent fleet to be so terrifying, the navy of the Jisk Empire is ranked fifth in the world, that's the fifth! ”
Although the victory of the independent fleet can also be regarded as the victory of the Royal Navy of the Liuyun Empire, Emperor Li Hong is not happy at all, the stronger the independent fleet under Su Yi, the more difficult it is for him to turn the independent fleet into a real royal navy.
Prime Minister Cao Ziliang then said: "Your Majesty, there is one more thing, after the independent fleet defeated the navy of the Jisk Empire, Su Yi sent troops to occupy Kangshan Port and Kangshan City, and the Celestial Star Empire has sent a note, hoping that our Liuyun Empire can explain this. ”
"Su Yi has occupied Kangshan Port and Kangshan City! What does he want to do? In addition, Kangshan Port is the first military port of the Tianxing Empire, with many coastal defense artillery, easy to defend and difficult to attack, how did Su Yi capture Kangshan Port? Emperor Li Hong asked with some surprise.
Prime Minister Cao Ziliang sighed and said: "Your Majesty, Kangshan Port and Kangshan City were directly abandoned by the Celestial Star Empire, and Su Yibing controlled Kangshan Port and Kangshan City without blood...... He may have taken a fancy to the first military port of the Celestial Star Empire. ”
Emperor Li Hong stretched out his hand and touched his chin, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "Send a telegram to Emperor Song of the Celestial Star Empire, Su Yi occupies Kangshan Port and Kangshan City, and it has nothing to do with our Liuyun Empire, it is all Su Yi's personal behavior. ”
After a pause, Emperor Li Hong continued: "In addition, send a telegram to Su Yi, telling him that I don't care what place he occupies, but the expeditionary fleet of the Sharad Empire is almost here, and the independent fleet must ensure the safety of the coastal areas of our Liuyun Empire." ”
In the palace of Tianxing City, the capital of the Celestial Star Empire, Emperor Song Xuan, who had bloodshot eyes in his eyes, asked Prime Minister Huang Kun with an extremely ugly face: "What does the Prime Minister think of Su Yi's occupation of Kangshan Port and Kangshan City?" ”
Originally, the independent fleet of the Royal Navy of the Liuyun Empire under Su Yi inflicted heavy damage on the navy of the Jisk Empire outside Kangshan Port, which was equivalent to doing the Tianxing Empire a great favor, but Emperor Song Xuan was not happy, in Song Xuan's heart, he would rather the army of the Jisk Empire occupy Kangshan Port and Kangshan City, rather than Su Yi to control Kangshan Port and Kangshan City.
Prime Minister Huang Kun hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, anyway, we have already given up Kangshan Port and Kangshan City, which have been occupied by Su Yi, and it will not affect our overall battle plan." ”
Emperor Song Xuan gritted his teeth and said: "The reason why I gave up Kangshan Port, and even Kangshan City, is that I don't want the shipyard in Kangshan Port to be destroyed in the war, the royal family has invested a lot of money in this shipyard, as long as the batch of technicians and workers we sent to the Monia Empire to study return to China, we can start the plan to build dreadnoughts on our own in the Kangshan Port Shipyard, even if the Kangshan Port Shipyard is temporarily occupied by the Jisk Empire, but as long as the war is over, the Kangshan Port Shipyard will still return to the hands of our Celestial Star Empire, Su Yi must be asked to immediately lead people out of Kangshan Port and Kangshan City! ”
Prime Minister Huang Kun said bitterly: "Your Majesty, the minister has sent a telegram asking Su Yi to withdraw from Kangshan Port and Kangshan City, but ......"
"But what? What did Su Yi say? ”
"Your Majesty, Su Yi called back and said that since our Celestial Star Empire has given up the 500,000 people of Kangshan City and Kangshan Port, then these 500,000 people will be handed over to him to protect in the future."
"How can this be true? Kangshan City and Kangshan Port are both the territories of our Celestial Star Empire, and he, a baron of the Liuyun Empire, is not qualified to control Kangshan City and Kangshan Port! What did the Flowing Cloud Empire say about this? ”
"Your Majesty, the Liuyun Empire sent a telegram saying that Su Yi's occupation of Kangshan Port and Kangshan City has nothing to do with the Liuyun Empire, it is Su Yi's personal behavior, and the matter of Kangshan Port and Kangshan City in the future will allow our Celestial Star Empire to have direct contact with Su Yi."
"Bastard! The people of the Flowing Cloud Empire are all bastards! If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely annex the Liuyun Empire! ”
