The end of the military era

Your Majesty, is it possible to build a batch of full main gun battleships and battle cruisers equipped with 420mm main guns first? "

Emperor Kosno shook his head and said: "Raff, although I am optimistic about the future of aircraft carriers, I also know that for a long time to come, full-armed battleships and battlecruisers will still be the protagonists of naval battles.

But the problem is that in the past few years, in order to expand its armaments, the empire's financial deficit has been very serious, and it is temporarily impossible to raise a large amount of funds to build dozens, or even hundreds of capital ships. "

Raff hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I know the financial situation of the empire.

Our Admiralty just hopes to build a few less full-main-gun battleships and battlecruisers equipped with 420mm main guns first, and does not plan to build too many ships. "

Hearing the words, Emperor Kosno hesitated and asked, "How many ships does your Admiralty plan to build?"

"Twelve of the two capital ships equipped with 420mm main guns will be built first. I wonder what your Majesty thinks?"

"What is the approximate cost of these two battleships?"

"The cost of a full main gun battleship equipped with 420mm main guns is about 4100 million silver coins, and the cost of a battlecruiser equipped with 420 mm main guns is about 4180 million silver coins."

Emperor Kosno frowned, "The cost is a bit high, let's build 8 ships first!"

Hearing that Emperor Kosno agreed to build eight battleships equipped with 8mm main guns and eight battlecruisers equipped with 420mm main guns, Raff couldn't help but be delighted, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Kosno suddenly sighed, "This arms race between our five Spirit Race countries and the Zhou family of the Han and Tang Empires has already made our Golden Lion Empire somewhat unable to persist.

Presumably, the situation of the other four Eldar nations may be equally bad. Perhaps only a new war can end this arms race.

The problem is that the military power of the Zhou family of the Han and Tang Empire has become stronger after three years of development. Even if our five spirit nations unite, they may not be able to defeat the Zhou family of the Han and Tang Empire. "

At this moment, Raff said: "Your Majesty, our five spirit nations can actually attract more allies, such as the Bull Empire that was driven out of the New World, and even the three great empires of the Elven tribe."

"The Bull Empire is still possible, but how can the three great empires of the elves unite with our five elves?"

"Your Majesty, as far as I know, the three great empires of the elves have always wanted to enter the new world to mine."

In the four continents of the Spirit Race world, various resources are relatively scarce, especially iron ore.

The three great empires of the elves have been unable to vigorously develop their navy because of the shortage of iron ore.

If it weren't for the three great empires of the elves, all of which have a very powerful army, the six orc nations in the spirit world might not let go of the elves who have enslaved them for nearly a thousand years.

Emperor Kosno shook his head and said: "Our six Eldar nations were able to suppress the three great empires of the Elven tribes because of the various resources of the New World.

Our six elven nations have already reached a secret agreement, we must not allow the three great empires of the elven to step into the new world! "

In the imperial palace of the Emerald City, the capital of the natural elf empire, the elf queen Brenna asked Prime Minister Prono: "How is the development of the new fighter jet and the new bomber?"

Prime Minister Prono said with some excitement: "Your Majesty, thanks to the efforts of the military industry department, all new fighter jets and new bombers have been successfully developed.

The new fighter has a maximum level flight speed of 380 kilometers per hour, a ceiling of 14000 meters, and a flight distance of 620 kilometers. It is equipped with two 2mm machine guns and has one crew member. This new fighter can also be used as a reconnaissance aircraft.

The new bomber has a maximum level flight speed of 300 kilometers per hour, a ceiling of 15000 meters, and a flight distance of 780 kilometers. It is equipped with four 4mm machine guns and has three crew members. It can carry a total of 10 kilograms of aerial bombs.

According to the information we have so far, not to mention the fighter planes equipped by the six orc nations, even the fighter planes of the Zhou Family Air Force in the human world are inferior to these two new fighter planes of our Natural Elf Empire in all aspects of performance. "

The elf queen Brenna nodded with some relief, "Next, let several aircraft manufacturers build these two new fighters on a large scale immediately.

In terms of navy, our natural elf empire cannot compare with the navies of several orc nations.

The appearance of airplanes at least makes the coastal areas of our natural elf empire much safer.

Maybe with the air force established by our natural elf empire, we can even talk to those orc countries. "

"Your Majesty, are you referring to the entry of our natural elf empire into the human world?"

"Not only our natural elf empire, the light elf empire and the dark elf empire can also be together.

As far as I know, the human forces that defeated the alliance of six orc nations a few years ago have become even stronger now.

Even if the five nations of Golden Lion, Red Tiger, Black Bear, Silver Wolf, and Flying Leopard form the Five Nations Alliance again, they are still not sure that they can defeat that human force.

Perhaps this is the opportunity for the three great empires of the elves to enter the human world. "

Prime Minister Prono asked in surprise: "Your Majesty, are you planning to unite with those beast nations to deal with that human force?

But will those orc countries unite with the three great empires of our elves? "

The elf queen Brenna said with a smile: "That's why I asked the military industry department to develop fighters and bombers with superior performance at all costs.

Now the two new fighters in our hands are the bargaining chips for the three great empires of the elves to enter the human world. "

Although there are many conflicts among the three great empires of the elves, a war broke out between the light elf empire and the dark elf empire even a few years ago.

However, under the leadership of Queen Brenna of the Natural Elf Empire, the three great empires of the elves, that is, the three empires of the elves, the light elf empire and the dark elf empire, finally secretly formed the elves alliance two years ago.

Prime Minister Prono still hesitated, "Your Majesty, but that human force is very powerful. Before the six orc nations united together, they were all defeated by that human force.

The Bull Empire was even driven out of the human world by that human force. "

"Hehe, I don't think our three great elves empires, after uniting with those orc nations, will lose to a mere human force.

Of course, the premise is that those orc nations are willing to accept the help of the Elven Alliance.

By the way, Prono, let the military industry department continue to develop carrier-based fighter jets, carrier-based torpedo aircraft, and carrier-based bombers that can take off on aircraft carriers? "

Prime Minister Prono couldn't help being taken aback, "Aircraft carrier?"

"I have a document on aircraft carriers here.

An aircraft carrier is a new type of warship that can carry fighter jets that take off on the flight deck of the aircraft carrier to attack and blow up enemy warships.

Aircraft carriers can launch attacks on battleships when they are out of range of battleships.

According to reliable sources, the Golden Lion Empire has secretly started building a batch of aircraft carriers, the number of which is at least 10.

I am going to let several shipyards also start building aircraft carriers belonging to our natural elf empire. "

"Your Majesty, rest assured, in terms of fighter jets, our Natural Elf Empire has already gone ahead of all countries. Presumably the military industry department will soon be able to develop qualified carrier-based fighter jets, carrier-based torpedo aircraft, and carrier-based bombers."

Chapter 252 Border Conflict

In fact, not all orc nations are unwilling to form an alliance with the three great elves empires. For example, the emperor of the Silver Wolf Empire, Joselu, intends to unite with the three great elves empires.

In the palace of Yinhui City, the first capital of the Silver Wolf Empire, Emperor Joselu asked Governor Igna: "What's going on in the New World recently?"

As the eldest son of Emperor Joselu, Igna is also the next heir to the throne of the Silver Wolf Empire. For the past three years, he has been staying in Silver Light City, the second capital of the Silver Wolf Empire, serving as the chief of the Silver Wolf Empire's defense against the border guards of the Han and Tang Empires. command.

Governor Igna said: "Father, there are still about 1200 million human civilians in the Violet Province, Calla Lily Province, Xiangxuelan Province and Holy Wolf Flower Province of the Silver Wolf Empire.

However, these 1200 million human civilians seem to have no intention of leaving the four provinces of our Silver Wolf Empire.
