The end of the military era

These three countries add up to 2000 million square kilometers of land! "

"Commander, the five orc nations, especially the Golden Lion Empire, Scarlet Tiger Empire, and Black Bear Empire, have grown stronger in the past few years, whether it is the army, navy, or air force.

Back then when our Zhou family attacked the Luwei Empire and the East Vietnam Empire, the five orc nations all expressed strong protests. The five orc nations are about to send troops to intervene.

Now that the Silver Wolf Empire and the Flying Leopard Empire have been recuperating for more than a year, if our Zhou family continues to expand northward, I am worried that the five orc nations will no longer sit idly by. "

The five kingdoms of Golden Lion, Red Tiger, Black Bear, Silver Wolf, and Flying Leopard, through the enactment of laws and regulations during the immigration process of humans, foxes, cats, and rabbits, have lawfully seized huge amounts of wealth.

Taking advantage of the huge amount of wealth collected, these five orc nations, especially the three kingdoms of Golden Lion, Red Tiger, and Black Bear, have been continuously expanding their armaments.

Zhou Rui said indifferently: "Since our Zhou family was able to defeat the Six-Element Alliance back then, we can still defeat the so-called Five-Event Alliance now.

Of course, annexing the Qi'an Empire, the Western Qin Empire and the Eastern Qin Empire is not a simple matter. Before the unification of the Han and Tang Empires, I am not going to continue to expand northward. "

"Marshal, according to the information obtained by Guiying, it seems that the Liangyan Empire has recently been in contact with some forces in the Qi'an Empire, the West Qin Empire, and the East Qin Empire."

"Let Ghost Shadow strengthen intelligence work in this area, our ally seems a little dishonest."

2 Fifty Chapters A Powerful Frontier Fleet

Zhou Rui was talking to Zhou Xiaorong when Song Limin, the commander-in-chief of the border defense fleet of the Han and Tang Dynasties, walked in, "Marshal, the second batch of town-class battleships and Cang-class battlecruisers have been filled with officers. and soldiers.

I plan to assign these 90 Zhenzi-class ships and 90 Cang-class ships to the seventh formation and No.11 formation respectively. "

The "Zhen"-class battleship with full main guns and the "Cang"-class battlecruiser mentioned by Song Limin are capital ships with 410mm main guns built by Zhou's six major shipyards.

Influenced by several high-speed battleships in the lottery system, these two capital ships have improved their original designs.

After completion, the "Zhen"-class battleship with full main guns is equipped with five double-mounted 5-fold caliber 45 mm main guns, with a full-load displacement of 410 tons and a maximum speed of 52500 knots. The cost of each ship has increased to 28 million silver coins.

After completion, the "Cang"-class battlecruiser is equipped with four double-mounted 4-fold caliber 45mm main guns, with a full-load displacement of 410 tons and a maximum speed of 50300 million silver coins per ship.

After the first batch of 90 "Zhen"-class battleships with full main guns and 90 "Cang"-class battlecruisers were completed, the senior officials of the border defense fleet of the Han and Tang Empire believed that these two battleships performed well in all aspects. , especially the power of the 45mm main gun with 410 times the caliber is quite amazing.

In addition, the heavy artillery branch of Ganyang Armory has always been unsatisfactory in the development of larger-caliber naval guns, so Zhou Rui waved his hand and asked the six major shipyards to build another 90 "town" class and 90 The ship is "Cang" class.

In three years, Zhou Rui got a lot of warships from the lottery system, and all of them were extracted by Zhou Rui and delivered to the border defense fleet of the Han and Tang Empires.

Today, the main formations of the border defense fleet of the Han and Tang Empires are still 12, but the size of each main formation is still larger than that of three years ago.

The three full main gun battleships of the eighth formation can actually be called high-speed battleships.

The U.S. Iowa-class battleship with full main guns is the first-class battleship with the largest displacement built by the U.S. Navy, with a full load displacement of 55710 tons and a maximum speed of 33 knots.

Originally, the frontier defense fleet of the Han and Tang Empires also owned many other types of battleships with full main guns, including dozens of battleships with full main guns captured.

However, in addition to the full main gun battleships equipped by the above-mentioned 8 main formations, some of the other full main gun battleships of the border defense fleet of the Han and Tang Empire were assigned to each garrison fleet, and some were temporarily sealed up.

The Ninth Formation of the Frontier Fleet of the Han and Tang Dynasties has 9 teams under its jurisdiction and has 110 British Hood-class battlecruisers.

The tenth formation has 9 teams under its jurisdiction and has 109 British prestige-class battlecruisers.

No.12编队下辖9支战队，拥有36艘东瀛国金刚级战列巡洋舰、48艘传统级战列巡洋舰、30艘秩序级战列巡洋舰。

In addition to the battlecruisers equipped by the above four main formations of the frontier defense fleet of the Han and Tang Dynasties, the other battlecruisers were basically equipped for each garrison fleet.

The second batch of 90 "Zhen"-class battleships with full main guns and 90 "Cang"-class battlecruisers, after joining the border defense fleet of the Han and Tang Empires, the seventh formation will have 180 "Zhen"-class full-main guns For battleships, according to the current rule that at least 12 capital ships of the border defense fleet of the Han and Tang Dynasties are organized into a battleship, the seventh formation can form 15 battleships.

The No. 180 formation with 11 "Cang"-class battlecruisers can also form 15 teams.

In addition, each main formation of the border defense fleet of the Han and Tang Dynasties is also equipped with 60 large armored cruisers or heavy cruisers, 120 light cruisers and 120 destroyers.

Zhou Rui had no objection to Song Limin's proposal, "Lao Song, then according to what you said, the second batch of Zhenzi-class full-main gun battleships and Cangzi-class battlecruisers will be assigned to the seventh formation and No.11 Formation!

In this way, these two main formations can be reorganized into 15 teams each. "

Song Limin then hesitated and said: "Commander, many large docks in the six major shipyards are now vacant.

Although our border defense fleet of the Han and Tang Empire is already well-deserved as the number one navy in the world, the enemies that our border defense fleet of the Han and Tang Empire need to face are the navies of five orc nations.

So I don't know if the commander-in-chief has a new capital ship construction plan next? "

Zhou Rui rolled his eyes at Song Limin when he heard this, "Old Song, you are too greedy.

With the addition of the second batch of Zhenzi-class battleships with full main guns and battlecruisers of Cangzi class, now only the 12 main formations of the frontier fleet of the Han and Tang Empires have more than 1200 battleships with full main guns and more than 500 battleships cruiser.

It seems that if the navies of the five nations of Golden Lion, Red Tiger, Black Bear, Flying Leopard, and Silver Wolf add up, there are only so many capital ships.

You are actually planning to let the six major shipyards continue to build more full-gun battleships and battlecruisers, you really regard me as the God of Wealth. "

"Hehe, handsome, you are the God of Wealth!

Although after five years of development, our border defense fleet of the Han and Tang Empires has the strength to independently resist the five navies of the Golden Lion, Red Tiger, Black Bear, Flying Leopard, and Silver Wolf.

However, there are still hundreds of capital ships under construction in the major shipyards of these five orc countries. After these hundreds of capital ships are in service, our border defense fleet of the Han and Tang Empire will inevitably fall again in terms of the number of capital ships. disadvantage. "
