At the front-line headquarters of the Celestial Star Empire, about twenty kilometers south of Tongyi City in Hedong Province, Song Jin, the third prince of the Celestial Star Empire, slapped a telegram on the table, "Do the navies eat?" In the port of Xingang City, there is actually a fleet of the Liuyun Empire, immediately send a telegram to the navy, and ask the navy to give me an explanation! ”

At this time, Earl Zhang Daoyuan, the deputy commander-in-chief of the front line of the Celestial Star Empire, saw the angry third prince Song Jin, and hurriedly persuaded him: "Your Highness, the navy of the Liuyun Empire is compared to the navy of our Celestial Star Empire, and the difference in strength is obvious. ”

In this world, in addition to hereditary titles, there are also honorary titles, as long as they can reach the level of wing captain or deputy wing captain of the army, they can generally get the honorary titles given by the royal family, and enjoy most of the rights of nobles, but the honorary titles cannot be hereditary, and there is no territory, Zhang Daoyuan is an honorary earl, and he is one of the senior staff members of the War Department of the Tianxing Empire.

The third prince, Song Jin, sighed and said, "What about expanding some more results?" The Father Emperor is already ready to negotiate with the Flowing Cloud Empire! ”

Zhang Daoyuan immediately said: "Your Highness, after all, the Liuyun Empire is a big country with a population of 1.2 billion, and the army exceeds six million. ”

Song Jin, the third prince, pursed his lips and said: "The army of the Liuyun Empire can only be regarded as the world's third-rate army, if my father can send me three more legions, I am confident that I can fight all the way to Liuyun City, the capital of the Liuyun Empire, if my father can fully support me, I am even confident that I can swallow the Liuyun Empire in one bite!" ”

According to the establishment of the Celestial Star Empire, a corps has four infantry divisions, two heavy artillery wings, an engineer wing, a cavalry wing, a baggage division and a division headquarters, with a total strength of about 300,000.

At present, the Celestial Star Empire's army in the eastern province of the Liuyun Empire has exceeded 600,000, but the Celestial Star Empire does not have a complete legion and has entered the Liuyun Empire.

Zhang Daoyuan said with a wry smile: "Your Highness, don't forget that there are also the Purple Moon Empire and the Cangyu Empire, these two countries will not watch our Celestial Star Empire swallow up the Liuyun Empire, not to mention that some countries in the other three continents have already cultivated several agents in the Eastern Continent in recent years. ”

There are four huge landmasses in this world, known as the Eastern Continent, the Southern Continent, the Western Continent and the Northern Continent, of which the Eastern Continent is connected to the Southern Continent and the Western Continent respectively, and only the Northern Continent hangs alone.

Among the four continents, the area of the Eastern Continent is the largest, about 120 million square kilometers, and the area of the Cangyu Empire, the Liuyun Empire, the Celestial Star Empire, and the Purple Moon Empire together account for almost two-thirds of the Eastern Continent, and they are also the four countries with the strongest comprehensive strength in the Eastern Continent.

However, according to the division of the strength of the countries in this world, the Cangyu Empire, the Liuyun Empire, the Celestial Star Empire, and the Purple Moon Empire only belonged to the second-class powers.

There are seven recognized first-class powers in this world, namely the Anglopa Empire, the Sharad Empire, the Noomi Empire, the Monia Empire, the Gisk Empire, the Rilland Empire, and the Orenza Empire, all of which are very strong in military, industrial and economic strength.

Among them, the Yingroba Empire, the Sharad Empire, and the Noomi Empire are in the Western Continent, the Gisk Empire and the Orenza Empire belong to the Southern Continent, the Monia Empire and the Ryerland Empire are in the Northern Continent, and only the Eastern Continent has no country to enter the list of first-class powers.

The third prince, Song Jin, waved his hand and said: "Forget it, I don't want those useless things, let the several infantry divisions that attack Tongyi City increase the intensity of the attack, and try to conquer Tongyi City and seize the entire Hedong Province before the father and the Liuyun Empire sign an armistice agreement!" ”

Zhang Daoyuan didn't answer, in fact, Zhang Daoyuan knew very well in his heart that now the war in Tongyi City had reached a stalemate, and in the face of the Liuyun Empire's army, which had gathered at least 800,000 troops, unless hundreds of thousands of additional reinforcements were sent in the country, it would be almost impossible for the Celestial Star Empire to conquer Tongyi City.

In the bridge of the Xinglong battleship of the Celestial Star Empire, Viscount Li Dongyan, the commander of the Third Fleet of the Celestial Star Empire Navy, said with a smile to the captain of the Xinglong battleship, Baron Jia Zhongyang: "I didn't expect that such a good thing would fall on the head of our Third Fleet, I thought that in this war, our navy would always watch the show!" At present, it has been confirmed that there is a fleet of the Liuyun Empire hidden in the port of Newport City of the Liuyun Empire, and the Admiralty ordered our Third Fleet to rush to Newport City immediately to strive for the total annihilation of the fleet of the Liuyun Empire. ”

The titles of Li Dongyan and Jia Zhongyang also belong to honorary titles.

Jia Zhongyang frowned and said, "Commander, didn't the navy of the Liuyun Empire all flee from the southern seas?" The fleet in Newport City is which main fleet of the Liuyun Empire it is? ”

Li Dongyan shrugged his shoulders and said, "I haven't figured out which branch of the Liuyun Empire's fleet it is, but with the strength of our third fleet, even if several main fleets of the Liuyun Empire gather, I am not afraid at all." ”

The Celestial Star Empire Navy had a total of four main fleets, of which the Third Fleet had four battleships, including two former dreadnought battleships and two ironclad battleships, as well as two armored cruisers, six light cruisers, six destroyers, and twenty torpedo boats.

Jia Zhongyang nodded slightly and said: "The two former dreadnought battleships of the Liuyun Empire are far worse than the Xinglong and Zhenlong of our Third Fleet, with the Xinglong and Zhenlong, plus the Sea Lion and Seahorse, our Third Fleet is enough to defeat the entire Liuyun Empire's navy with its own strength!" ”

The Xinglong and Zhenlong, purchased by the Celestial Star Empire from the Yingluoba Empire, the world's first naval power, are former dreadnought battleships of the same type, with a full load displacement of 16,500 tons, four 40 times the caliber of 305 mm of the main gun and four 40 times the caliber of 234 mm of the second class main gun, a maximum speed of 19 knots, and a ship age of four years.

The Sea Lion and Seahorse, also purchased by the Celestial Star Empire from the British Roba Empire, are ironclad battleships of the same type, with a full load displacement of 11,500 tons, four 30 times the caliber of 305 mm main guns, a maximum speed of 15 knots, and a nine-year age.

Viscount Li Dongyan, commander of the Third Fleet of the Celestial Star Empire Navy, then said aloud: "Convey the order to the captains of the warships, and after two hours, all the warships of the Third Fleet will go straight to the port of the Liuyun Empire's Xingang City, hoping that the fleet of the Liuyun Empire has not escaped." ”

Just when the Third Fleet of the Celestial Star Empire Navy set off for Xingang City, Gao Mingkui, the captain of the 86th Wing of the Celestial Star Empire, also received an order from the front-line command to let the 86th Wing rest in place and wait for the Third Fleet of the Navy to annihilate the fleet of the Liuyun Empire in the port of Xingang City, and then attack Xingang City again, and then the Third Fleet of the Navy will provide fire support for the 86th Wing.

Although Su Yi didn't know that the Third Fleet of the Celestial Star Empire Navy was about to arrive in Newport City, Su Yi had already foreseen that after his two battleships shelled the land forces of the Celestial Star Empire, the navy of the Celestial Star Empire would definitely not give up.

The rank was promoted to the rank of a first-class soldier, and a silver treasure chest randomly rewarded by the system, after being opened by Su Yi, he actually got a British Dreadnought-class battleship.

When the rank is promoted to ensign, the system randomly rewards a golden treasure chest, and in addition to a low-level booster card, there are also three cards.

M-2 mortar (unit price 30,000 yuan, limited to 40 units per month).

M1897 field artillery (unit price 100,000 yuan, limited to 20 units per month).

British Minotaur-class armored cruiser (unit price of 150 million yuan, limited to two per year).

The M1897 field gun is a kind of artillery used by France during World War I and World War II, with a caliber of 75 mm, a maximum rate of fire of 15 rounds per minute, a maximum range of 8,550 meters, and a weight of 1.5 tons per gun.

Field artillery has a longer range than infantry artillery and is more powerful, and now in the army of the Liuyun Empire, infantry artillery is configured to the infantry wing level, while field artillery is only equipped at the division and regiment level.

The British Minotaur-class armored cruiser with a displacement of 14,600 tons, a maximum speed of 23 knots, was armed with 4 234 mm main guns, ten 191 mm secondary guns, sixteen 76 mm rapid-fire guns, five 450 mm torpedo tubes, 152 mm main armor on the side belts, 51 mm deck armor, 203 mm main turret armor, and a crew of 802 people.

Each of the main guns, secondary guns, rapid-fire guns, and torpedo tubes of the British Minotaur-class armored cruisers was equipped with five base ammunition.

Seeing the Minotaur-class armored cruiser, Su Yi understood why the 75-mm field gun shells were added to the system mall after being promoted to the upper class, which was originally prepared for the M1897-type field gun, and after being promoted to the second lieutenant, the 191-mm shells added in the mall were prepared for the Minotaur-class armored cruisers.

Because he could get three warships immediately, plus the threat of the Celestial Star Empire's naval fleet, Su Yi used the low-level amplification card on the navy-type primary combat biochemical people, and then the navy-type primary combat biochemical people were limited from 2,000 people per month to 8,000 people per month, an increase of four times.

The newly acquired Dreadnought-class battleships were named Jianyong by Su Yi, and the two Minotaur-class armored cruisers were named the Flying Eagle and the Feihong.

In this way, the Xingang Fleet in Su Yi's hands has one dreadnought battleship, two former dreadnought battleships and two large armored cruisers, which makes Su Yi feel a lot more confident in the face of the possible arrival of the Celestial Star Empire naval fleet.

After being equipped with the personnel needed for the five warships, there were still more than 3,600 navy-type junior combat biochemical people, and Su Yi temporarily organized these naval officers and soldiers into an infantry brigade to temporarily use as an army.
