Chapter 237: 70 Million Army and 6,000 Fighters

The Yingluoba Empire has been rich in gold and diamonds since ancient times, and the royal family of the Yingluoba Empire has many mining areas that produce gold and diamonds, which have accumulated over the years, making the royal family of the Yingluoba Empire the richest royal family in the world, of course, before the establishment of the Tang Empire.

At present, the royal family of the Tang Empire has been recognized as the richest royal family in the world, after all, Su Yi has built the world's largest army, navy and air force with his own financial resources alone, and most of the finances of the Tang Empire have been invested in the construction of people's livelihood.

At present, even the wealthy royal family of Yingluoba feels a little unbearable about the naval arms race, which shows how fierce the naval arms race between the world's major powers is now.

On the morning of September 15, 3015 in the Tang calendar, in the palace of Kay City, the capital of the Noomi Empire, Prime Minister Julian reported to Emperor Edgrew with a smile: "Your Majesty, just yesterday morning, the last twelve Mist-class super dreadnought battleships and twelve Kuaima-class battlecruisers also joined our Noomi Royal Navy, so far thirty-six Mist-class and thirty-six Kuaima-class have all joined the sequence of our Noomi Royal Navy. ”

When the war ended, the capital ships of the Noomi Navy were only sixteen super dreadnought battleships, fourteen battle cruisers, ten dreadnought battleships, thirteen former dreadnought battleships and twenty-seven ironclad battleships, which were still in service with a number of ocean-class super dreadnought battleships and fighter-class battlecruisers with 356 mm guns in the later stage of the war.

Now 36 Mist-class super dreadnought battleships with 381 mm guns and 36 Kuaima-class battlecruisers with 381 mm guns have also joined the Noomi Navy, making the Noomi Navy have 52 super dreadnought battleships and 50 battle cruisers, and even temporarily surpass the British Roba Navy in the number of these two capital ships.

Emperor Edgrew sighed and said: "It's a pity that according to the information of the intelligence department, the Yingluoba Navy will have ten Brave-class super dreadnought battleships and ten pursuit-class battlecruisers in service next month, and the slight advantage that our Noomi Navy has over the Yingluoba Navy will be wiped out, and the thirty-six Tengyun-class super dreadnought battleships and thirty-six Seahorse-class battlecruisers that our Noomi Navy is building will be able to enter service about when?" ”

In order to strengthen the Noomi Navy, Emperor Edgrew spared no effort to let the Noomi Navy build seventy-two super dreadnought battleships and seventy-two battle cruisers in one go, and at present, thirty-six Mist-class and thirty-six Swift Horse-class have all entered service, and thirty-six Tengyun-class and thirty-six Seahorse-class with 406 mm guns are still under construction.

Prime Minister Julian immediately said: "Your Majesty, in February next year, there will be eighteen Tengyun-class super dreadnought-class battleships and eighteen Seahorse-class battlecruisers to join our Noomi Royal Navy, and the remaining eighteen Tengyun-class and eighteen Seahorse-class will also be completed in June next year." ”

Emperor Edgrew shook his head helplessly and said: "By June next year, all the super dreadnought battleships and battle cruisers under construction in the Yingroba Navy will be completed, and the Yingroba Navy will also have one hundred and six super dreadnought battleships and ninety-seven battle cruisers, while our Royal Noomi Navy only has eighty-eight super dreadnought battleships and eighty-six battle cruisers, which is still a big gap compared to the Yingroba Navy." ”

Prime Minister Julian hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, although our Noomi Empire and the Yingluoba Empire are full of contradictions, but at present, the biggest enemy of our Noomi Empire should be the Tang Empire, after the end of the last war, the Tang Empire has developed rapidly, and now in terms of economy and industry, it has even faintly surpassed our Noomi Empire, and has formed a parallel with the Yingluoba Empire, if the Tang Empire is not suppressed, then our Noomi Empire and other predominantly white countries, It's going to be a disaster! ”

Emperor Edgrew smiled bitterly and said, "According to the information obtained by our intelligence department, the seven main fleets of the Tang Navy now have two hundred and sixty-one super dreadnought battleships, two hundred and forty-five battle cruisers, and one hundred and seven dreadnought battleships, such strength is no longer something that our Noomi Empire can provoke." ”

Prime Minister Julian immediately said: "Your Majesty, it is precisely because the strength of the Tang Empire is so strong that it should be suppressed, and even dismembered the Tang Empire through a war, once the Tang Empire continues to develop, all white countries may suffer, in the face of the threat of the Tang Empire, the Gisk Empire and the Orenza Empire have formed a military alliance a few months ago, and sent invitations to other countries of the original Seven Nations Alliance, and the British Roba Empire seems to be very interested in this military alliance." ”

Emperor Edgrew pondered for a moment and said: "If the Seven Nations Alliance can be reorganized, the navies of the seven countries together can surpass the Tang Navy a lot in strength, but that is only the strength on paper, in the last war, in the sea battle that determined the sea dominance, our Noomi Royal Navy and the Yingluoba Navy, the Salad Navy, the Monia Navy, and the Ruierland Navy formed a combined fleet, which obviously surpassed the Tang Navy a lot in strength, but the result ended in the fiasco of our five-nation naval combined fleet, And don't forget, the Tang Empire also has an even more powerful army and air force. ”

Although Emperor Edgrew hated the Tang Empire in his heart, through the last war, Emperor Edgrew inevitably had some fear of the Tang Empire, of which the navy was only one aspect, and the army and air force of the Tang Empire made Emperor Edgrew very jealous.

The army of the Tang Empire, at its peak, that is, after the Tang Empire had just merged the Purple Moon Empire, the entire Royal Army of the Tang Empire had a huge establishment of ten Guards Infantry Divisions, three armored divisions, two hundred and fifty field infantry divisions, one thousand one hundred and one hundred provisional infantry divisions and one hundred and seventy-nine garrison independent infantry brigades, with a total strength of more than 110 million.

However, after the Purple Moon Empire merged into the Tang Empire, Su Yi reduced the establishment of three hundred temporary infantry divisions, reducing the total strength of the Royal Army of the Tang Empire to more than 88.6 million.

After the war with the Seven Nations Alliance ended, Su Yi made some adjustments to the establishment of the Royal Army of the Tang Empire.

As of the beginning of September of 3015 in the Tang calendar, the Royal Army of the Tang Empire had a total of ten guard divisions, 24 armored divisions, 600 field divisions and 400 garrison divisions.

The Guards Division, like the Field Division, consists of three infantry brigades, three divisional heavy artillery regiments, one logistics and transportation brigade, one guard regiment, one engineer regiment, and one division headquarters, with a total strength of about 80,000 troops.

Each armored division is equipped with more than 800 tanks, including not only the more advanced Matilda 2 tank, but also the slightly backward Renault FT-17 light tank and 2C heavy tank, as well as the Black Wolf tank and the Black Tiger tank designed and produced by the Tang Empire.

The Black Wolf tank is a medium tank with a total combat weight of 33 tons, a maximum speed of 40 kilometers per hour, a crew of 5 people, armed with a 70 mm tank gun with 75 shells, a 7.92 mm caliber parallel machine gun and a 7.92 mm anti-aircraft machine gun with 3,000 rounds, a thickness of 55 mm frontal armor for the hull and 70 mm for the turret frontal armor.

The Black Tiger tank is a heavy tank, with a total combat weight of 55 tons, a maximum speed of 32 kilometers per hour, a crew of 5 people, equipped with an 88 mm tank gun with 85 shells, two parallel machine guns of 7.92 mm caliber and one anti-aircraft machine gun of 7.92 mm caliber with 5,800 rounds, the thickness of the frontal armor of the hull is 90 mm, and the thickness of the frontal armor of the turret is 100 mm.

In fact, the Tang Empire was able to design and produce the Black Wolf Tank and the Black Tiger Tank, thanks to the more than a dozen tank design drawings that Su Yi brought back from the world of the Han Kingdom, including the design drawings of the tank diesel engine.

The Black Wolf Tank and the Black Tiger Tank are much more advanced than the Renault FT-17 light tank, 2C heavy tank, and even the Matilda 2 tank that Su Yi bought from the System Mall, but because the Black Wolf Tank and the Black Tiger Tank were put into production not long ago, the twenty-four armored divisions under the Royal Army of the Tang Empire are still equipped with Renault FT-17 light tanks, 2C heavy tanks and Matilda 2 tanks, and these three tanks, except for those that Su Yi bought from the system mall, the arsenal of the Tang Empire also imitated a lot.

In addition, the armored division is also equipped with a large number of armored vehicles, trucks, motorcycles, horse-drawn carriages, anti-aircraft guns, and howitzers, and the total strength of the entire armored division is about 50,000 people.

The garrison division has the same number of numbers as the armored division, and consists of two infantry brigades, a divisional heavy artillery regiment, a logistics transport brigade, a guard regiment, an engineer regiment and a division headquarters.

After the establishment of the Royal Army of the Tang Empire has been adjusted, the total strength has dropped to 70 million, but in addition to the above 1,000 and 34 regular divisions, the Royal Army of the Tang Empire also has up to hundreds of millions of reservists, if the war breaks out, within a month, the total strength of the Royal Army of the Tang Empire can exceed 100 million, and within half a year, the total strength of the Royal Army of the Tang Empire can even reach 300 million.

At present, the main fighters of the Royal Air Force of the Tang Empire are composed of Messerschmitt Bf109 fighters and Junker-88 dive bombers, and fighters, camel fighters and Ilya Muromets heavy bombers are also equipped with a lot.

The aircraft factories of the Datang Empire have been able to imitate these five fighters equipped by the Royal Air Force of the Tang Empire, making the total number of these five fighters of the Royal Air Force of the Tang Empire exceed 6,000, which is the world's No. 1 air force.

Compared with the Tang Empire, the Noomi Empire is at a very big disadvantage, so in the heart of Emperor Edgru, he feels that the Noomi Empire can no longer afford to provoke the Tang Empire.

Prime Minister Julian heard Emperor Edgru's words, with a deep fear of the Tang Empire, and couldn't help frowning slightly, Prime Minister Julian has always been a supporter of "white supremacy", for the rise of the Tang Empire, like many white people, it is emotionally difficult to accept, Julian himself very much hopes that the Seven Nations Alliance can be reorganized and destroy the Tang Empire, which disrupts the world order.

Prime Minister Julian hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, although the military strength of the Tang Empire is very strong, as long as the seven countries of the original Seven Nations Alliance unite again, the probability of victory is still very large. ”

After a pause, Prime Minister Julian continued: "Your Majesty, if we can't solve the Tang Empire first, then it will be impossible for our Noomi Empire to take revenge on the Yingluoba Empire and the Sharad Empire, otherwise the Tang Empire will be tantamount to reaping the benefits of the fisherman." ”

Prime Minister Julian's last few words touched Emperor Edgru, and he sighed and said: "I don't want to take back the 10 million square kilometers of our Noomi Empire that the Yingluoba Empire and the Shalad Empire robbed us of more than a hundred years ago, if the Tang Empire is watching from the sidelines, our Noomi Empire will not dare to provoke a war with the Yingroba Empire or the Shalad Empire, it seems that our Noomi Empire will also have to support the reorganization of the Seven Nations Alliance!" ”

Prime Minister Julian breathed a sigh of relief, "Your Majesty, rest assured, now the seven countries of the original Seven Nations Alliance are all vigorously developing their navies, if the Seven Nations Alliance can be successfully reorganized, as long as the sea control power is not lost, the Tang Empire will eventually be defeated by our seven countries!" ”

Emperor Edgrew then suddenly asked, "By the way, Prime Minister, what happened to the super dreadnought battleships and battlecruisers with 432 mm guns designed by the Admiralty?" ”

Prime Minister Julian immediately said: "Your Majesty, the Admiralty has designed a super dreadnought battleship with a main gun caliber of 432 mm and a battle cruiser with a main gun caliber of 432 mm, which are called the Ice class and the Pegasus class, respectively, the Ice class has five 432 mm main guns, a standard displacement of 48,900 tons, a full load displacement of 55,000 tons, a maximum speed of 20 knots, and a cost of about 44 million nod per ship, and the Pegasus class has four 432 mm main guns with a standard displacement of 51,000 tons, With a full load displacement of 55,800 tons and a maximum speed of 25.5 knots, the cost is about 41 million Norves per ship. ”
