Chapter 542 Fiasco
Three months later.

The expeditionary fleet of Wancheng Kingdom, which went to Dongyuanzhou, returned triumphantly.

With an extremely slight loss, a brilliant victory was achieved!
Dongyuanzhou suffered extremely heavy losses, three battles, three major defeats, and more than 1000 Lingyuan battleships were destroyed.

The loss of Wancheng Kingdom was only more than 10 ships.

An amazing battle loss ratio of 100:1!

The various fleets of Dongyuanzhou, whose confidence had collapsed, fled frantically when they encountered the expeditionary fleet of the Wancheng Kingdom, and they would collapse at the touch of a touch.

Completely lost the courage to be tough.

It can be said that the army was defeated.

Wan Chengguo's expeditionary fleet attacked Huanglong all the way, and reached the vicinity of Xiaoyao Palace, forcing Jiang Ruyue to send an envoy to sue for peace, expressing his willingness to agree to all conditions.

Including compensation for losses and handing over all technical personnel.

If the expedition fleet chooses to ignore it, it can directly destroy the Xiaoyao Palace.

The commander of the expedition fleet had this intention, but the nine heads of state desperately came to help, and they spent all their money to build a huge air force with 5000 Lingyuan warships.

To annihilate this huge army, the expeditionary fleet is bound to pay a heavy price.

After all, the main guns of the 500 Type 5 Lingyuan battleships in the expeditionary fleet can fire three rounds in five minutes. If 5000 Lingyuan battleships swarm up, only a small half of them can be wiped out. It will lose its previous technological advantage and may be overwhelmed by a large number of enemies.

With this in mind, the expedition fleet retreated a little, and did not choose to attack by force, but just looked for flaws and opportunities like a hunter.

On Dongyuanzhou's side, they were really hurt by beatings, and they were terrified of beatings!

powerful!
Wancheng Kingdom is very strong.

Almost deadly!
The power of Wan Chengguo's new Lingyuan battleship brought them nightmare-like fear.

Even if you risk your life, at all costs, you can only use the destruction of dozens or hundreds of Lingyuan battleships of your own side in exchange for one of the opponent's.

With such a disparate exchange ratio, how can people not feel hopeless and collapsed?
Speaking of which, why did the expeditionary fleet of the Wancheng Kingdom suddenly become so strong? You must know that when the two fleets fought in Beiyuanzhou, the exchange ratio was usually 3:1 or 5:1, and the maximum was 10:1. How did it suddenly change today? Became dozens to 1, hundreds to 1?

You must know that Dongyuanzhou has made great progress in the past five years. It has completely solved the problem of controlling the firing time interval of the super spirit yuan cannon, and its accuracy and power have been greatly improved. Take the country.

The result was such a thunderbolt.

This is related to the new five-type Lingyuan warships in service with the Wancheng Kingdom Expeditionary Fleet, equipped with several new types of equipment, and adopted new combat methods.

For example, over-the-horizon radar can detect enemies 250 miles away, which is five times beyond the visual range.

In addition, there is a fire control radar, which can calculate the azimuth, distance, altitude, speed and other valuable data of the enemy warship. These data can be imported into the control system of the new super spirit gun. Once the target is locked and fired, even if the target is 200 miles away , there is also a certain possibility of hitting the target.

Of course, this kind of hit rate is definitely not high, but the aiming target can be destroyed by multi-ship fire shooting.

Especially when 500 Type V warships fired at the same time, the enemy targets 200 miles away might not be able to react at all, and before they had time to react, they would be taken away by a wave.

However, the salvo tactics of the whole fleet are very difficult to command. After all, the commander must issue orders to each warship in a short period of time. During the order transmission process, if the traditional semaphore command is used, it is impossible to achieve a salvo of firepower.

With wireless telegraphy, there is electromagnetic interference between adjacent warships, resulting in blurred and delayed information, and the transmission distance is not long.

The emergence of wireless psionic wave telegrams perfectly solved the problem of synchronous command.

Moreover, the signal is clear and the interference is minimal. Of course, there is also the problem of short propagation distance, but within a radius of 20 kilometers, there is no need to worry about command issues.

Relying on high-tech equipment such as radar locking, wireless psionic wave telegraphs, and the "beyond visual range fire salvo" tactics based on these equipment, the Wancheng Kingdom's expeditionary fleet crushed and beat the local army of Dongyuanzhou .

If it weren't for the fact that the expeditionary fleet's warships were not enough, in this battle, the Wancheng Kingdom's expeditionary fleet could really swallow up Dongyuan Continent.

You don't even need too many support troops, as long as there are 1000 Type V warships, Dongyuanzhou can definitely be destroyed!
But after fighting for three months, after bowing their heads in the Xiaoyao Palace, the expeditionary fleet regrettably withdrew.

In such a good situation, why did they choose to withdraw their troops?
There are two main reasons.

One is that the soldiers consume too much soul power. In a high-intensity war, the soldiers on a Lingyuan battleship must not only maintain the battleship in a long-term flight state, but also control the shooting of various weapons. If these Soldiers are compared to "batteries", and there is still an upper limit for their continuous working time.

Generally about three months, you must take a good rest.

Two, the war goal of the expeditionary fleet has basically been achieved, and there is no need to continue fighting.

for what purpose?
The purpose of teaching Dongyuanzhou a lesson!

The other is to force the other party to apologize, compensate, and return all technical talents.

As for swallowing Dongyuanzhou... This goal was not included in the war plan from the beginning, because Dongyuanzhou is not so easy to swallow. If it goes for this goal, the expedition fleet will face heavy casualties, and even fall into the quagmire of war.

A continent with a radius of one million miles and a population of 60 billion cannot be swallowed by a few hundred advanced warships.

However, seeing that Xiaoyao Palace admitted so quickly, the negotiators of Wan Chengguo made a few more demands in addition to the original three.

For example, Dong Yuanzhou is required to reduce the fleet size to less than 2000 ships.

For example, the soul stone mine with tens of thousands of tons of reserves left was ceded to Wancheng Kingdom.

In addition, in order to prevent Dongyuanzhou from invading Wancheng Kingdom, the hundred cities in the west of Dongyuanzhou should also be ceded to Wancheng Kingdom and so on.

If Zhou Ming were to evaluate the above conditions, it would be in eight words: cession of land and compensation, loss of power and humiliation of the country.

Will Jiang Ruyue agree?
Of course, it is impossible to agree. If she dares to nod that head, she will be pushed down to the highest throne immediately.

After discussing with the nine heads of state, she finally only agreed to a few items.

10. Compensation of [-] trillion Lingcoins, as the loss of Wancheng Kingdom.

Second, send back the more than [-] technical talents.

100. You can export [-] tons of soul stones to Wancheng country every year at a more favorable price (exports have been banned before).

All other conditions are rejected.

If the Wancheng Kingdom is forced against each other, the two continents will perish together, and they will fight to the death!

After all, there are still 5000 Lingyuan warships left in Dongyuan Continent. These warships are scattered and invaded Wancheng Kingdom. Can Wancheng Kingdom stop them all?
Seeing that Xiaoyao Palace had a tough attitude and really couldn't get any more benefits, the negotiator of Wan Chengguo had no choice but to return to the country with these few achievements.

Cheng Zhiyuan believes that he can agree. The number of Lingyuan battleships in Dongyuanzhou exceeds 5000, which is far beyond his expectations. If the fight continues, the expeditionary fleet may be difficult to persist, and the domestic forces left behind are not large enough, and it will be difficult to defend the mainland. Dongyuanzhou must expand its army several times.

Domestic public opinion does not support a protracted war.

It's better to accept it when you see it first, and then draw it slowly in the future.

So a week later, the two countries signed the "Agreement of Understanding."

Half a month later, a large number of technical talents who were originally plundered to Dongyuanzhou were sent back to Wancheng Kingdom in multiple batches. The number of people exceeded 20.

Wancheng cheered all over the country.

The image of the military has been greatly improved, triggering an upsurge in joining the army.

The country's prestige has also reached the highest level in history.

In addition, through the rescue of the more than [-] technical talents who returned, they also taught the domestic people a wonderful lesson in patriotism.

By punishing Dongyuanzhou for the first battle, Wan Chengguo gained far more than lost.

……

Dongyuanzhou on the other side.

The atmosphere was oppressive, and the entire continent was silent.

A tragic failure that makes people feel sad and humiliated.

It seems that something is engraved in people's hearts.

shame.

Not bad is shame.

Shame never experienced.

The pride of the nobles of the upper class was trampled in the mud.

Among them, the one who suffered the most was undoubtedly Jiang Ruyue, the owner of Xiaoyao Palace.

Of course, in front of the ministers, she still looked calm, calm as usual, handled various official duties normally, arranged various aftermath matters, visited factories, comforted people, and paralyzed herself with crazy work.

Only when she entered that high tower and visited her mother, did she take off that layer of mask, hugging her mother and weeping bitterly.

She whined and said:
"Five thousand spirit warships, a total of five thousand!"

"Three thousand more than I guessed!"

"If all these battleships are in my hands, how could I have suffered such a heavy defeat?"

"Traitors, those nine traitors! Damn them, all of them!"

Seeing her daughter gritted her teeth and her expression was ferocious, the woman persuaded: "Didn't they all come to rescue you? Don't say that."

"What rescue? They are just afraid that after the fall of Xiaoyao Palace, the Town Demon Tower will be controlled by Nawancheng Kingdom. If this tower is opened by others or destroyed, the nine traitors will be able to sit down? They are not trying to protect themselves Little life?!"

"Traitors! Even if these nine traitors cannot destroy the Wancheng Kingdom, I must get rid of them first, I must get rid of them!"

Jiang Ruyue felt the pain on her skin, and this fiasco made her realize: If Dongyuanzhou cannot integrate all the power, no matter how strong Dongyuanzhou is, it will not be the opponent of Wan Chengguo!
Because those nine traitors, apart from hiding their strength, would only hold her back!
Kill them, they must be killed!

Jiang Ruyue swore in her heart.

"Hey, my silly daughter~"

Jiang Ruonan sighed and hugged his daughter helplessly. This daughter inherited her father's intelligence and her own stubbornness. She is kind-hearted and sometimes unscrupulous.

I really don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing?

She had nothing else to ask for, she just hoped that her daughter would be safe and sound.

Others, dare not expect extravagantly.

If she could help her, even if she risked her life, she would not hesitate to go forward.
