In Prairie City, the capital of the Lombalou Empire, because of the rapid offensive of the Free Corps in the territory of the Great Chu Empire, the Emperor Elvira of the Lombalou Empire summoned Prime Minister Prudensl and the Minister of Military Affairs Robert Taruth into the palace, and Emperor Elvira said in a deep voice: "In just 10 days, the Freedom Corps in the territory of the Great Chu Empire has captured the 13 provinces occupied by the Kas army before, and the air force and land force of our Lombalou Empire in the territory of the Great Chu Empire have not made the slightest progress in these 10 days. On the contrary, there were heavy losses, and some of the territories that our Lombalou Imperial Army had already captured were also taken by the Army units of the Free Legion, Prime Minister, General Robert Taruth, what do you say our Lombalou Empire should take next to deal with the Free Corps in the territory of the Great Chu Empire? ”

Minister of War Robert Tarrus sighed and said: "I really didn't expect that the Free Corps not only has a strong air force, but even the Army of the Free Corps also has a very strong strength, our Lombalou Imperial Army in the territory of the Great Chu Empire in the recent offensive, there are 6 group armies have sent attack troops, adding up to millions, but in the face of the Free Corps Army did not take any advantage, of which the Free Corps Air Force plays a large role, but the combat effectiveness of the Free Corps Army can not be ignored."

After a pause, the Minister of War, Robert Tarus, continued: "The minister thinks that we should send more fighters and army units to the territory of the Great Chu Empire next, and completely wipe out the free army that suddenly appeared!" If we can wipe out the Free Legion, the 5 provinces controlled by the Great Chu Empire and the 3 provinces controlled by the Kas Kingdom will not cause much trouble to the army of our Lombalou Empire, and the entire Dachu Empire's more than 12 million square kilometers of land will all be owned by our Lombalou Empire! ”

Prime Minister Prudensel said at this time: "At present, the war of our Lombalou Empire in the Great Wu Empire and the Great Liang Empire is progressing very smoothly, after the New Year, the army has captured a large amount of land in the territory of the above two ancient empires, and now our army units of the Lombalou Empire have occupied almost 11 provinces, about 3.8 million square kilometers of land in the territory of the Great Liang Empire, and have occupied almost 10 provinces, about 3.5 million square kilometers of land in the territory of the Great Wu Empire. The army of the Kas Kingdom and the army of the Merlin Kingdom were almost crushed under the powerful offensive of our Lombalou Empire's air force and army, so the battlefield of the Great Wu Empire and the Great Liang Empire did not need to continue to increase the number of troops at this time, and we could send more air force fighters and army units to the territory of the Great Chu Empire to carry out a large-scale attack on the occupied areas of the Free Legion, and strive to defeat the air force and land force of the Free Corps as soon as possible. ”

Emperor Elvira hesitated for a moment and said: "The Prime Minister and General Robertaluth are very right, but I have a little bad premonition about this free army that suddenly appeared, so far, we have not found out who is behind this free army, and according to the information of our imperial intelligence department, the army of the free army has just been formed, and the members are basically the officers and soldiers of the Great Chu Empire who were captured before, the troops of the security army of the Kas Kingdom, and the civilians of the Chu State who were recruited, But it's really weird that such an army can have the upper hand in the battle with our Lombalou Imperial Army! ”

Prime Minister Prudensl then said: "Your Majesty, no matter which country is behind the Free Legion, even if it is the Mistu Empire, our Lombalou Empire is not afraid!" ”

The Minister of War, Robertaluth, also said: "Your Majesty, the initiative of the Free Corps this time has disrupted the rhythm of the war in our Lombalou Empire, and we must show great strength to readjust the war to the rhythm of our Lombalou Empire!" ”

Emperor Elvira shook his head with a smile and said, "I may be a little suspicious because of the strange disappearance of 268 warships in Huangsha Port!" Hehe, even if the Mistu Empire goes into battle in person, we Lumbaru Empire will not be afraid, let alone a free army! The Ministry of Defense will mobilize more air force fighters and army units to the territory of the Great Chu Empire as soon as possible, and that freedom legion must be completely wiped out! ”

Although the Lombalou Empire has sent tens of millions of army troops to the Eastern Continent, the Lombalou Empire still has more than 16 million land forces on the mainland, so the Ministry of Defense of the Lombalou Empire soon decided to transfer 8 army groups and more than 2.5 million army troops from the mainland to the territory of the Great Chu Empire, and at the same time, the Ministry of Defense of the Lombalou Empire also transferred millions of people from the army reservists to rush to the Eastern Continent with the 8 group armies. Replenish the losses of the 32 armies that had previously landed on the Eastern Continent in the course of the engagement.

The Ministry of Defense of the Lombalou Empire also decided to add 300 fourth-generation fighters, 4,000 third-generation fighters, 30 electronic attack aircraft, 16 early warning aircraft and 40 air tankers to the territory of the Great Chu Empire.

However, the large number of air force fighters and land forces sent by the Lombalou Empire to the territory of the Great Chu Empire have not yet changed from the battlefield of the Great Liang Empire.

It turned out that the Merlin Kingdom finally confirmed that the 9 aircraft carrier formations of the Lombalou Imperial Navy in Huangsha Port of the Daliang Empire were indeed no longer in Huangsha Port, and these 9 aircraft carrier formations were not found in the waters of the Daliang Empire, and the Lombalou Imperial Navy was on the coast of the Daliang Empire, and only 4 aircraft carrier formations in Jinjing Port remained.

In the territory of the Great Liang Empire, the Lombalou Empire has snatched almost 11 provinces from the Merlin Kingdom, about 3.8 million square kilometers of land, and the territory of the Great Liang Empire that the Merlin Kingdom has worked so hard to capture, there are only 8 provinces left, about 2.8 million square kilometers of land, if the Merlin Kingdom has not been able to change the situation on the battlefield, maybe it won't be long before the remaining 8 provinces of the Merlin Kingdom in the Great Chu Empire will also become the spoils of the Lombalou Empire.

More so that the king of the Merlin Kingdom, Suguma? Singh was worried that if the Lombalou Empire drove the Merlin Kingdom out of the Great Liang Empire, the Lombalou Empire continued to attack the territory of the Merlin Kingdom, it would be a disaster for the Merlin Kingdom.

So after the Kingdom of Merlin got the information that the Lombalou Imperial Navy had only 4 aircraft carrier formations along the coast of the Great Liang Empire, it immediately sent almost all the main forces of the Merlin Navy, a total of 4 large aircraft carriers, 6 small aircraft carriers, 10 escort aircraft carriers, 14 missile battleships, 12 missile battle cruisers, 20 missile cruisers, 30 missile destroyers, 40 missile frigates and 40 submarines, and took the initiative to approach the coast of the Great Liang Empire. Attempt to cut off the Lombalou Empire's sea transport routes to the Great Liang Empire.

The 10 escort aircraft carriers were recently converted by the Merlin Navy using large transport ships, and the Merlin Navy transferred most of the fighters of the naval aviation force to these 10 escort aircraft carriers.

In addition to the above-mentioned warships, there are only 5 missile cruisers, 6 missile destroyers, 4 missile frigates and 4 submarines left in the entire Merlin Kingdom's navy, as well as some minesweepers, minehunters, missile boats, torpedo boats, patrol boats and gunboats with a small displacement to guard the coastline of the Merlin Kingdom.

At the same time, the king of the Kingdom of Merlin, Suguma? Singh sent a telegram to Sophinea, the king of the Kingdom of Kas, hoping that the main force of the Kas Navy would go north as soon as possible, and join forces with the main force of the Merlin Navy to first destroy the four aircraft carrier formations of the Lombalou Imperial Navy's northern attack group, and then the main forces of the Kas Navy and the Merlin Navy would fight a decisive battle with the five aircraft carrier formations of the Lombalou Imperial Navy's southern attack group.

It's a pity that Sophinea, the king of the Kingdom of Kas, did not agree to the main force of the Kas Navy to go north on the grounds that the main force of the Kas Navy had been pinned down by the 5 aircraft carrier formations of the southern attack group of the Lombalou Imperial Navy. Singh, in the palace, scolded Sophinea, the king of the kingdom of Cas, for more than 1 hour.

On January 12, 1361, the main naval force of the Merlin Kingdom, along the coast of the Great Liang Empire, intercepted a transport fleet of the Lombaru Empire, easily sank 1 missile destroyer and 2 missile frigates escorted by the convoy, and captured 6 ocean-going freighters of the Lombalou Empire full of war materials.

After the Lombalou Imperial Navy learned that the main force of the Merlin Kingdom Navy appeared on the sea transportation line of the Great Liang Empire, it immediately dispatched four reinforced aircraft carrier formations in Jinjing Port, the second largest civilian port of the Great Liang Empire, and pounced violently on the sea area where the main force of the Merlin Kingdom Navy appeared.

The main naval force of the Merlin Kingdom, after discovering the four reinforced aircraft carrier formations of the Lombalou Imperial Navy from the radar, did not flinch, and resolutely met it, and the two fleets broke out a large-scale naval battle near Chongyang Island off the coast of the Great Liang Empire on the morning of January 13, 1361.

At 8:15 a.m. on January 13, when the main force of the Merlin Kingdom's navy and the four reinforced aircraft carrier formations of the Lombalou Imperial Navy were more than 200 kilometers apart, the four reinforced aircraft carrier formations of the Lombalou Imperial Navy first lifted 216 fighters, 4 AWACS aircraft and 4 electronic attack aircraft into the air and launched the first wave of offensive.

The four reinforced aircraft carrier formations of the Lombalou Imperial Navy have four Goddess-class large aircraft carriers with a full load displacement of 82,000 tons, four Tarasik-class small aircraft carriers with a full load displacement of 41,000 tons, four Felix-class small aircraft carriers with a full load displacement of 32,000 tons, and 16 escort-type aircraft carriers.

Six of the 16 escort aircraft carriers carry 24 third-generation fighters, six carry 32 third-generation fighters, two carry 48 third-generation fighters, and the last two carry 60 third-generation fighters.

The four reinforced aircraft carrier formations of the Lombalou Imperial Navy together have a total of 160 fourth-generation fighters, 1,080 third-generation fighters, 16 AWACS aircraft, 16 electronic attack aircraft, and 32 multi-purpose helicopter gunships.

In comparison, the number of carrier-based aircraft of the Merlin Navy's 4 large aircraft carriers, 6 small aircraft carriers and 10 escort aircraft carriers is somewhat less.

The four large aircraft carriers of the Merlin Navy are all Abyss-class aircraft carriers built by the Merlin Kingdom itself, with a full load displacement of 78,000 tons, including 8 heavy oil boilers, 4 steam boiler turbines, a maximum speed of 28.5 knots, 8 caliber 105 mm high-level dual-purpose anti-aircraft guns, 4 quadruple anti-aircraft missile launchers, 4 six-mounted 20 mm anti-aircraft guns, 4 6-tube jamming missile launchers, and 20 fourth-generation fighters, 60 third-generation fighters, 1 early warning aircraft, 2 electronic attack aircraft and 4 multi-purpose helicopter gunships.

The Merlin Navy's 6 small aircraft carriers have 3 models, including 2 fighters-class aircraft carriers with a full load displacement of 28,000 tons, with a maximum speed of 30.5 knots, weapon systems less than half of the Abyss-class, and 28 third-generation fighters, 1 AWACS aircraft, 1 electronic attack aircraft and 2 multifunctional helicopter gunships.

Two Shannon-class aircraft carriers with a full load displacement of 33,000 tons, with a maximum speed of 31 knots, the same weapon system as the Gladiator-class, carrying 32 third-generation fighters, 1 AWACS aircraft, 1 electronic attack aircraft and 2 multi-functional armed helicopters.

Two Qiangsheng-class aircraft carriers with a full load displacement of 42,000 tons, with a maximum speed of 31 knots, a weapon system that is half of that of an Abyss-class large aircraft carrier, and 42 third-generation fighters, 1 AWACS aircraft, 1 electronic attack aircraft and 2 multi-functional armed helicopters.

Of the 10 Merlin Navy escort aircraft carriers converted from large transport ships, 8 of them carry 36 third-generation fighters, and the remaining 2 carry 48 third-generation fighters.

In this way, the carrier-based aircraft of the Merlin Navy included a total of 80 fourth-generation fighters, 828 third-generation fighters, 10 early warning aircraft, 14 electronic attack aircraft, and 28 multifunctional helicopter gunships.

Although the main naval force of the Merlin Kingdom is weaker than the four reinforced aircraft carrier formations of the Lombarau Imperial Navy in terms of the strength of carrier-based aircraft, the main naval force of the Merlin Kingdom has also taken the initiative to attack, and five minutes after the first wave of carrier-based aircraft of the Lombalou Imperial Navy, that is, at 8:20 a.m. on January 13, 288 fighters, 4 early warning aircraft and 6 electronic attack aircraft of the Merlin Kingdom also flew in the direction of the four reinforced aircraft carrier formations of the Lombalou Imperial Navy.
