The end of the military era

Zhao Rongguang sighed and said: "People like Zhou Rui will not allow anyone to betray him. If the Queen Mother is still alive, Zhou Rui must always have a thorn in his heart."

"Father, I know what to do."

On November 1549, 11, Zhao Yan, the empress dowager of the Han and Tang Empires, fell into the water and died in the palace.

After the death of the Empress Dowager Zhao Yan, Zhao Rongguang, the governor of the Forbidden Army, accepted all the conditions proposed by the Zhou family on behalf of the court.

When Zhou Rui learned of Zhao Yan's death, he just sighed slightly, and never mentioned Zhao Yan's name again.

In fact, Zhou Rui's hatred for Zhao Yan has long since faded.

Even if Zhao Rongguang doesn't force Zhao Yan to death, Zhou Rui is not going to settle accounts with Zhao Yan again, let alone trouble the Zhao family.

However, Zhou Rui has already learned through the "ghost shadow" that the 5-year-old emperor Ouyang Jing is actually the grandson of Zhao Rongguang. Since he is not a real son of the royal family, Zhou Rui certainly will not let him occupy the throne forever.

The reason why he agreed to retain Ouyang Jing's throne was also to smoothly take over the court of the entire Han and Tang Empire. After all, not many people knew that Ouyang Jing was not the biological son of the former emperor Ouyang Hui.

The royal family of the Han and Tang Empire was controlled by the Ouyang family for more than 1000 years, and it still has a lot of prestige among the people of the Han and Tang Empire.

Now that the border guards are at war with six orc nations and three elf nations, Zhou Rui does not want to cause turmoil because of the abolition of the emperor.

On November 1549, 11 in Tianyuan, when the troops of the border guards entered the Tiansheng City, the capital of the Han and Tang Empires, Zhou Rui received a reminder from the system, congratulating him on completing the system task of "unifying the Han and Tang Empires". Zhou Rui got a five-star lucky draw card and 27 points.

This also made Zhou Rui's points in the lottery system only one step away from upgrading.

After the five-star lottery card was used by Zhou Rui, a total of eight rewards were issued.

100 catties of silver bricks 300 million pieces

100 catties of gold bricks 40 pieces

100 catties of rice, 50 billion bags

100 catties of flour, 50 billion bags

406 French S800 fighter jets

800 German Stuka D dive bombers

Dongying Guoxianghe class aircraft carrier 24

24 US Essex-class aircraft carriers

Zhou Rui had received a total of 3 five-star lottery cards before, and the first four rewards were exactly the same as this five-star lottery card.

The French S406 fighter jet and the German Stuka D-type dive bomber were both launched by Zhou Rui before, but the number of the two fighter jets was less than 400 before.

Now 800 French S406 fighter jets and 800 German Stuka D dive bombers have been drawn, which is definitely great news for the border air force.

Because the performance of the camel fighter and the improved version of the camel fighter lagged behind the fighters of the three elf countries, it became very difficult for the border air force to seize air supremacy. Only a small number of French s406 fighters could suppress the three fighters. A fighter from an elf country.

The German Stuka D-type dive bomber is a dive bomber put into use by the German Air Force in World War II. Its maximum level flight speed is 410 kilometers per hour. It is equipped with three 3mm machine guns and can carry 792 kg aerial bomb.

The performance of the German Stuka D-type dive bomber far surpasses the Italian CA36 bomber and the improved version of the Italian CA36 bomber that are heavily equipped by the Border Defense Air Force.

Now the frontier fleet is still only equipped with 6 American Essex-class aircraft carriers. Recently, the three-star lottery card given out by the lottery system every month has not drawn out aircraft carriers, not even warships, only some land forces tanks, armored vehicles and artillery.

Unexpectedly, this five-star lottery card would give Zhou Rui 48 aircraft carriers at once.

Dongying Guoxianghe-class aircraft carrier is an aircraft carrier equipped by the Dongying Kingdom Navy during World War II. It has a full-load displacement of 32105 tons, a maximum speed of 29 meters in length and a width of the flight deck, and a crew of 2750 people.

其水线装甲带厚105毫米，装备有8座双联装127毫米口径高平两用炮、12座三联装25毫米高射炮。

常用舰载机加上备用舰载机总计有84架，包括20架东瀛国零式战斗机、32架东瀛国97式舰载攻击机和32架东瀛国99式舰载俯冲轰炸机。

Although the comprehensive combat effectiveness of the Dongying Guoxianghe-class aircraft carrier is weaker than that of the American Essex-class aircraft carrier, it must be much stronger than the aircraft carrier transformed from a merchant ship.

In order to deal with the simple aircraft carriers of the three elven countries, and even the simple aircraft carriers just built by the six orc countries, the frontier fleet is now urgently equipped with more than 20 simple aircraft carriers converted from merchant ships.

However, these simple aircraft carriers can only carry a dozen or more than [-] carrier-based aircraft, and their damage resistance is too poor, and their speed is also very slow.

Now Zhou Rui has launched 48 new aircraft carriers, and those simple aircraft carriers with weak combat effectiveness can even be retired from the frontier fleet.

The court of the Han and Tang Empires also fell to the Zhou family, and the emperor Kosno of the Golden Lion Empire was the most annoyed.

In the palace of Noelya City, the first capital of the Golden Lion Empire, Emperor Cosno said bitterly to Prime Minister Salento: "Humans are really unreliable!

In order to support the Imperial Commander of the Han and Tang Empires, the empire invested billions of silver coins successively. As a result, the Imperial Commander has handed over millions of troops and hundreds of millions of people to Zhou before firing a single shot. Home.

Coupled with the surrender of the Shuodong Army and the Shuonan Army, the Zhou family had actually unified the entire Han and Tang Empire.

Now the Zhou family, or it can be directly called the Han and Tang Empire, what is the total population?How much land area? "

Prime Minister Salento said with a sigh: "The current total area of ​​the Han and Tang Empire is about 6500 million square kilometers, and the population is about the same as that of the border guards of the Han and Tang Empire. With an increase of about 1800 million, it will become more difficult for our Nine Events Alliance to defeat the border guards of the Han and Tang Empires."

Emperor Kosno asked: "On the northern front, when can the Allied Forces of the Five Nations launch an attack.

As far as I know, the five nations of Golden Lion, Black Bear, Silver Wolf, Flying Leopard, and Bull have gathered more than 2000 million troops on the northern front. "

From mid-September in Tianyuan 1549, for more than two months, the four kingdoms of Golden Lion, Black Bear, Flying Leopard, and Bull have dispatched almost 9 soldiers to the border areas of the Silver Wolf Empire's Violet Province and Calla Lily Province. Wan's army.

Currently on the northern front, the Silver Wolf Empire has gathered about 550 million troops, the Golden Lion Empire has gathered about 400 million troops, the Black Bear Empire has gathered about 400 million troops, the Flying Leopard has gathered about 200 million troops, and the Bull Empire has gathered about 450 million troops. Wan Army.

However, in the past two months or so, reinforcements from several major military regions of the border guards in the eastern continent have entered the Jingzhou military region and the Tongzhou military region in the western continent one after another.

Today, the border defense forces of the Han and Tang Empires have gathered 35 group armies and 122 garrison divisions in the border defense lines of Jingzhou Town, Yuzhou Town, and Lanzhou Town.

In addition, the border defense lines of the Han and Tang Empire border defense forces in Tongzhou Town, Lianzhou Town and Dazhou Town also increased to 31 group armies and 108 garrison divisions.

Prime Minister Salento said: "Your Majesty, our coalition forces of the Golden Lion, Black Bear, Silver Wolf, Flying Leopard, and Bull are preparing to launch a full-scale attack on the border guards of the Han and Tang Empires on the northern front on the day of the human New Year's Eve. .”

Chapter 261 The Deserter

The last day of Tianyuan 1549 is also the traditional New Year's Eve of the Han and Tang Empires.

The armies of the five kingdoms of Golden Lion, Black Bear, Silver Wolf, Flying Leopard, and Bull Bull took advantage of this day to suddenly launch a full-line attack on the border guards of the Han and Tang Empires on the northern front.

The commander-in-chief of the armies of the five orc nations is Luo Feika, the Army Minister of the Golden Lion Empire.

According to Luo Feika's arrangement, the troops of the five orc nations participating in the attack chose dozens of points as breakthrough points on the thousands of kilometers of border defense lines in Tongzhou Town, Lianzhou Town, and Dazhou Town.

The position of the 17th Garrison Division of the Jingzhou Military Region is one of the breakthroughs chosen by the Black Bear Army.

The 17th Garrison Division of the Jingzhou Military Region was expanded from the original 17th Garrison Brigade of the Jingzhou Military Region. Its organization is the same as that of the infantry division. It has 3 infantry brigades, 1 supply brigade, 1 heavy artillery brigade and 1 guard regiment. The force is about 4.

However, the weaponry of the garrison division is slightly worse than that of the infantry division. For example, the heavy artillery brigade of the infantry division is equipped with 60 155mm howitzers and 120 105mm howitzers.

而第17守备师的重炮旅，只装备了60门105毫米榴弹炮和90门75毫米野战炮。
