The end of the military era

Princess Dai Bona took a deep breath, calmed down her emotions, and said: "The cavalry of all ministries will attack immediately, and cooperate with the troops of the Han and Tang Empire to expand the results of the battle!"

From Fengshou Town to Xingyue City, it is almost a flat road, and there is no danger at all.

Therefore, the counter-rebel army retreated all the way. In the end, Duke Pankola returned to Xingyue City with less than 7 people, of which cavalry accounted for more than half.

You must know that Xingyue City gathered 45 troops this time, except for the loss of 75 people on the first day, a total of more than 30 officers and soldiers who suppressed the rebels either died in battle, were captured, or collapsed.

As soon as Duke Pankela entered Xingyue City, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

Marquis Tanilla Blake, the deputy commander of the Guards Corps, comforted him at this time: "Duke, our Guards Corps still has two full-stacked 2-man teams in Xingyue City, plus we brought back With 7 to [-] people, we still have a chance to come back.

Moreover, the walls of Xingyue City are strong enough to resist the attacking magic of an eighth-level magician. Presumably, the terrifying weapons of the different time and space army should not be able to destroy the walls of Xingyue City. "

Duke Pancra wiped away his tears, gritted his teeth and said, "Tanila, don't worry, this Duke will not admit defeat so easily!

Order the entire Xingyue City to enter the first level of combat readiness, and recruit civilians to help defend the city! "

In the imperial palace of Tiansheng City in the Han and Tang Empires, Zhou Rui couldn't help being very surprised after receiving the battle report from Sun Huimin.

Unexpectedly, the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Duke of Pankola would fall apart after a round of artillery fire.

After Zhou Xiaorong, commander of the Fengwu Military Region, learned of the result of the battle, he suggested to Zhou Rui: "Your Majesty, since the army on the other side of the Gods Continent is so unbearable, why don't our Han and Tang Empires take the entire Gods Continent into their hands?" In the bag?

Just those gold mines in the Continent of the Gods can double the strength of our Han and Tang Empire several times. "

Because the Continent of the Gods was rich in gold, the Han and Tang Empire used silver and steel to exchange more than 30 tons of gold from various nobles of the Star-Moon Alliance in a short period of time.

Or how to say that greed is the original sin. At present, many high-level officials in the Han and Tang Empires have the idea of ​​sending troops to the continent of the gods.

Zhou Rui said: "Now we don't know enough about the Continent of the Gods, and our Han and Tang Empires are still at war with the Nine Events Alliance. As for whether to send troops to the Continent of the Gods, let's discuss it after the war with the Nine Events Alliance is over. !

By the way, Second Uncle, has the departure time of the landing force been fixed yet? "

Zhou Xiaorong nodded and said, "It's already set on the 1st of next month."

"Is the landing site determined?"

Zhou Xiaorong shook his head, "Guan Guoren and Song Limin are still hesitant about the several alternative landing locations."

"Then let them waste their brain cells! I'm just waiting for the battle report of a successful landing!"

Before Zhou Xiaorong left, Kang Huai, the Minister of Industry of the Han and Tang Empire, came to see Zhou Rui.

"Minister Kang, you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. Did you come to ask me for money again today?" Zhou Rui said to Kang Huai with a smile.

When Kang Huai heard the emperor say this, he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, as if every time he took the initiative to find the emperor, he came to ask the emperor for money.

Kang Huai coughed slightly to ease his embarrassment, "Your Majesty, I'm here this time to discuss with His Majesty the construction of 60 new aircraft carriers and 40 super battleships."

Zhou Rui was taken aback when he heard the words, "Minister Kang, the first funds for the construction of these 60 new aircraft carriers and 40 super battleships, including the funds for dock renovation, have not been allocated to the six major shipyards?"

Kang Huai hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, it's not a question of funds, but a question of design drawings."

Zhou Rui frowned, "What's wrong with the design drawings? Could there be something wrong with the design drawings?"

"Your Majesty, the Ship Design Bureau of Ganyang Shipyard has produced a new design drawing for the new aircraft carrier and super battleship respectively.

I feel that if we build according to the new design drawings, the new aircraft carrier and super battleship can have more powerful combat effectiveness. "

"New design drawings? New data, have you brought it?"

"Your Majesty, the minister brought it."

After reading the data of the two warships newly designed by the Naval Design Bureau of Ganyang Shipyard, Zhou Rui couldn't help but shook his head. Could it be that even the designers of the Naval Design Bureau of Ganyang Shipyard knew that I had made a fortune?

Originally, the full-load displacement of the new aircraft carrier was 59500 tons, which has almost caught up with the full-load displacement of the US Midway-class aircraft carrier.

The aircraft carrier newly designed by the Naval Design Bureau of Ganyang Shipyard has a full load displacement of 115000 tons, a design maximum speed of 30 knots, and a crew of 3550.

The waterline armor belt is 120 mm to 150 mm thick, the flight deck armor is 120 mm thick, and the hangar deck armor is 120 mm thick.

装备有20门100毫米口径高平两用炮、80门40毫米高射炮，50门30毫米高射炮，50挺13毫米高射机枪。

Can be equipped with 80 Wildcat fighters, 80 Dreadnought dive bombers and 80 Avenger torpedo attack aircraft.

Originally, the cost of the new aircraft carrier was only a little over 4000 million silver coins, but the cost of the newly designed aircraft carrier soared to 11 billion silver coins.

The full load displacement of the original super battleship was 135000 tons, but the newly designed super battleship by Ganyang Shipyard Ship Design Bureau has increased the full load displacement by 11000 tons to 146000 tons.

The main reason is to change the original five triple-mounted 5mm main guns with 45 times the caliber to five triple-mounted 500mm main guns with fifty times the caliber, so that the effective shooting distance of the main guns becomes farther.

In addition, the power system of the super battleship has been optimized, and the maximum speed has been increased to 30 knots.

There are no major changes in other weapon configurations and armor conditions.

The cost of the newly designed super battleship has increased from 13 billion silver coins to 15 billion silver coins.

"With a full load displacement of 115000 tons, it can be called a super aircraft carrier, but the cost of this super aircraft carrier is a bit high.

The most powerful weapon of an aircraft carrier is the carrier-based aircraft. The original design of the new aircraft carrier can carry 144 carrier-based aircraft, and the cost is 4000 million silver coins.

The cost of the new super aircraft carrier is as high as 11 billion silver coins, and it is equipped with 240 carrier-based aircraft. Why do I feel that the new super aircraft carrier is a bit uneconomical. "

Kang Huai hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the newly designed aircraft carrier has stronger survivability, even if it is hit by multiple torpedoes and aerial bombs, this super aircraft carrier is still very difficult to sink.

What's more, this kind of aircraft carrier with a full load displacement of up to 115000 tons will definitely continue to be used even if the fighter jets are upgraded in the future. "

"It seems that you came here to fight the autumn wind because you knew that I had made a fortune?"

"Hehe, Your Majesty, I also hope to build more powerful warships for the Imperial Royal Navy!"

"Has Ganyang Arsenal developed a 500mm naval gun with fifty times the caliber?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Ganyang Arsenal has successfully developed a 500mm naval gun with a 45-fold caliber. Otherwise, the designers of the Naval Design Bureau of the Ganyang Shipyard would not have changed the main gun of the super battleship to a 500-mm gun with a 500-fold caliber. , upgraded to fifty times the caliber of [-]mm.

Of course, in order for this super battleship to keep up with the speed of a super aircraft carrier, it needs to be equipped with a more powerful steam turbine, so the cost has increased by about 2000 million silver coins. "

"There won't be any problems with the new design drawings, right?

After all, the displacement of these two warships exceeds 10 tons. We have never built such a large warship before. "

"Your Majesty, rest assured, it has been demonstrated many times, and there will never be any major problems."

"Alright then! I will increase the allocation to allow the six major shipyards to build according to the new design drawings.

However, I want to increase the number of super aircraft carriers to be built from 60 to 80, and the number of super battleships to be built from 40 to 80. "
