Chapter 70: The Belonging of the Three Fleets of the Cangyu Navy

On November 20, 3011 in the Tang calendar, the three major fleets of the Royal Navy of the Cangyu Empire finally arrived in the waters of the Purple Moon Empire.

The reason why the three fleets of the Royal Navy of the Cangyu Empire have only come to the Purple Moon Empire now is because the main forces of the Jisk Navy and the Orenza Navy have been stationed in the Groning Harbor in the Wessel Strait, so that the three fleets of the Royal Navy of the Cangyu Empire do not dare to pass through the Wessel Strait at all, and have been cruising in the waters east of the Wessel Strait.

It was not until the main forces of the Gisk Navy and the Orenza Navy left the port of Groning to join up with the Second Expeditionary Fleet of the Royal Navy of Sharad that the three fleets of the Royal Navy of the Cangyu Empire dared to pass through the Wessel Strait.

In the bridge of the Dongfang Dreadnought, the flagship of the First Fleet of the Cangyu Empire's Royal Navy, Feng Lin, the commander of the First Fleet, said in a deep voice to Liu Zhu, the commander of the Second Fleet, and Huo Jian, the commander of the Third Fleet: "Liu Yongcheng, the Minister of the Navy of the Purple Moon Empire, has sent a telegram to our three fleets, asking our three fleets to rush to the second largest military port of the Purple Moon Empire, Haixing Harbor, to join the main force of the Royal Navy of the Purple Moon Empire. ”

The commander of the Second Fleet, Liu Zhu, immediately asked, "Brother Feng, in the telegram from Liu Yongcheng, the Navy Minister of the Purple Moon Empire, did he say that he did not say anything about the arrangements for our three fleets?" ”

Feng Lin continued to say in a deep voice: "The Purple Moon Empire has given us two options, the first is that our three fleets are dispersed and merged into the four main fleets of the Purple Moon Empire's Royal Navy, and the second is that our three fleets are merged into the fifth fleet of the Purple Moon Empire's Royal Navy. ”

Huo Jian, the commander of the Third Fleet, asked at this time, "Brother Feng, has the Purple Moon Empire ever mentioned military salaries?" The more than 30,000 naval officers and sailors of our three fleets, as well as the more than 7,000 army officers and men who left Huifeng Port with our three fleets, will the Purple Moon Empire reissue our military salaries for these few months at sea? ”

Feng Lin smiled bitterly and said: "I asked Liu Yongcheng, the Minister of the Navy of the Purple Moon Empire, about this matter by telegram, Liu Yongcheng said on the telegram that now the finances of the Purple Moon Empire are extremely difficult, and the officers and soldiers of the Royal Navy of the Purple Moon Empire have not been paid for three or four months, and the officers and soldiers of the Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire have not received military salaries since the outbreak of the war with the Orenza Empire, so although the Purple Moon Empire promised to make up the military salaries for the past few months at sea, we can only owe them first, and our future military salaries, We will have to wait for the Purple Moon Empire's finances to be more abundant before we can slowly reissue them. ”

When Liu Zhu and Huo Jian heard this, their faces showed sadness, in addition to more than 30,000 naval officers and soldiers and more than 7,000 army officers and men, their fleet also brought nearly 40,000 family members.

If there is no military salary, what will the officers and soldiers with their families use to support their families in the future, even if they resettle the nearly 40,000 family members, they will have to think that they will need a lot of money.

Liu Zhu immediately sighed and said, "If the Purple Moon Empire can't even solve the military salary, our three fleets are not as good as the fleet of the baron of the Liuyun Empire, and ask for the right to fight independently!" ”

Huo Jian smiled bitterly and said: "Even if we have the right to fight independently now, what will happen to our three fleets in the future?" Now that the royal family of the Cangyu Empire has declared our three fleets rebels, it is difficult for the Cangyu Empire to go back, and the Celestial Star Empire and the Liuyun Empire may not dare to take us in, except for the Purple Moon Empire, what choice can our three fleets have? ”

Feng Lin pondered for a moment and said, "I'm going to go to the Purple Moon Empire's Anbo Harbor to have a look, what do you think?" ”

Liu Zhu frowned and asked, "Brother Feng, do you want to go to the Baron named Su Yi of the Liuyun Empire?" ”

Huo Jian touched his nose and said: "I think it's okay to go to Anbo Port to have a look, that baron named Su Yi has the most powerful navy in the Eastern Continent, maybe if we take refuge under Su Yi, our life will be much better." ”

Feng Lin sighed and said, "Let's go to Ambo Port to have a look first!" Su Yi can have a powerful navy of this scale, at least it shows that he is not short of money! ”

Liu Meng gritted his teeth and said: "If Su Yi can solve the salary of more than 30,000 of our navy officers and soldiers and more than 7,000 army officers and soldiers, it is not impossible for us to take refuge in him!" ”

Two days later, the three fleets of the Royal Navy of the Cangyu Empire came to the sea outside the port of Ambo, and the officers and men of the three fleets were immediately frightened by the scene in front of them.

When the three fleets of the Royal Navy of the Cangyu Empire arrived outside the port of Ambo, they were just in time for the 1st Battleship Formation, the 2nd Battleship Formation, the 6th Battleship Formation, and the 11th Battleship Formation of the Independent Fleet, a total of twelve super dreadnought battleships and twelve battlecruisers, with twelve light cruisers and forty destroyers, conducting tactical training at sea.

In the bridge of the Dongfang dreadnought battleship, Feng Lin, commander of the First Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Cangyu Empire, slowly lowered the binoculars in his hand, his face was full of shock, Feng Lin couldn't help but say with a wry smile to himself: "It's incredible, the navy under Su Yi already has twelve super dreadnought battleships and twelve battle cruisers, and I don't know if people can take a fancy to our three fleets?" ”

That night, Su Yi hosted a banquet for Feng Lin, Liu Zhu, and Huo Jian, the three fleet commanders of the Royal Navy of the Cangyu Empire, at one of the best restaurants in Ambo City.

As soon as the dinner began, the anxious Feng Lin, Liu Zhu and Huo Jian revealed to Su Yi the idea of joining the independent fleet, of course, the premise is that Su Yi has to be responsible for the salaries of more than 30,000 naval officers and more than 7,000 army officers and soldiers.

Su Yi held the wine glass and said with a smile: "The three generals can look down on me Su Yi, that is Su Yi's honor, Su Yi is also very willing to accept hundreds of warships in the hands of the three generals, and the military salary is definitely not a problem, but the ugly thing has to be said in front, I Su Yi spent money to raise soldiers, that is to raise my own private soldiers, not for any country, so after the three major fleets of the Royal Navy of the Cangyu Empire are merged into the independent fleet, they must accept a thorough reorganization." ”

The three major fleets of the Royal Navy of the Cangyu Empire have a total of two dreadnought battleships, eight former dreadnought battleships, eight ironclad battleships, six large armored cruisers, six medium armored cruisers, twenty-four light cruisers, twenty-four destroyers, and sixty torpedo boats.

Su Yi didn't take much fancy to the hundreds of warships of these three fleets, but Su Yi was not willing to push them out.

Feng Lin, Liu Zhu, and Huo Jian looked at each other, and then Feng Lin spoke: "General Su, I don't know how it will be organized?" ”

Wang Chengliang, the commander of the independent fleet next to him, immediately explained to Feng Lin, Liu Zhu, and Huo Jian: "The meaning of the marshal is that the officers and soldiers of the three fleets will be mixed with the officers and soldiers of our independent fleet, and the officers and men of the three major fleets on active duty also need to be assessed, and after passing the assessment, appropriate positions will be arranged, and as for the three of you, they will be appointed as the captains of the three dreadnought battleships of our independent fleet for the time being." ”

Feng Lin looked at Liu Jian and Huo Jian, and Liu Zhuang and Huo Jian both nodded slightly to Feng Lin, so Feng Lin immediately said to Su Yi: "General Su, our three fleets are willing to completely accept the reorganization and merge into the independent fleet!" ”

To be honest, Feng Lin, Liu Zhu, and Huo Jian were already a little desperate, as long as Su Yi was willing to settle the salaries of the officers and soldiers under their command, even if Su Yi proposed harsh conditions, they would agree.

Su Yi said with a smile: "Then call me handsome from now on!" That's what everyone calls it! ”
