The end of the military era

For the next battle for sea dominance, does your navy have any plans? "

"Your Majesty, considering the main naval forces of those nine countries, it is very likely that they will gather together again.

So our Royal Navy plans, just like last time, to start a decisive battle at sea with the enemy's combined fleet! "

Zhou Rui frowned, "Will the main naval forces of those nine countries gather together?"

Song Limin said confidently: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, if they don't want to be defeated individually, they can only gather together and choose to fight a decisive battle with our Royal Navy."

"Are you sure you'll win?

Through the fight between the air force and the air forces of the coalition forces, the jet fighters of the Golden Lion Empire, the Scarlet Tiger Empire, and the three elf countries all have good overall performance, not inferior to the second-generation fighter jets of our air force.

In this case, presumably the performance of the jet carrier-based aircraft of these five countries will not be bad.

Moreover, the combined number of aircraft carriers in these five countries may be more than your navy. "

Song Limin pondered for a while and said: "232 Dongfang-class escort aircraft carriers have been incorporated into various aircraft carrier formations one after another.

Although the Dongfang-class escort aircraft carrier only carries 30 Thunderbird jet carrier-based fighters, the remaining 40 Dreadnought dive bombers and 40 Avenger torpedo attack aircraft are not jet carrier-based aircraft.

However, the comprehensive combat effectiveness of the Dongfang-class escort aircraft carrier is not weak, which is equivalent to supplementing the disadvantage of our Royal Navy in the number of aircraft carriers.

What's more, the number of carrier-based aircraft of our Royal Navy's 6 island-class aircraft carriers and 200 giant-class aircraft carriers is far ahead of the aircraft carriers of the coalition countries. "

Zhou Rui believed that in the second war with the Nine Events Alliance, the Han and Tang Empire would definitely be the final victor.

However, Zhou Rui also knew that the losses of the Han and Tang Empires in this war must be much greater than in the previous war.

In the last war with the Nine Events Alliance, the Han and Tang Empires actually had an advantage in the weapons and equipment of the three armies of the sea, land and air.

However, Zhou Rui has not offered too advanced weapons and equipment in the lottery system in the past few years. For example, the thousands of jet fighters currently reserved in the lottery system all belong to the first generation of jet fighters.

You must know that the Magpie jet fighter equipped by the Royal Air Force of the Han and Tang Empire, except that it is not equipped with missiles, is almost equivalent to the second-generation jet fighter in all aspects of performance.

Even the air forces of the Golden Lion Empire, Scarlet Tiger Empire, and the three elf nations are equipped with second-generation jet fighters.

This also caused the Royal Air Force of the Han and Tang Empire to defeat and blow up tens of thousands of fighter planes of the coalition forces in the previous battles, but it also lost almost 3700 fighter planes, of which only the Magpie jet fighters lost more than 3200 planes.

In this way, the thousands of first-generation jet fighters currently reserved by the lottery system have not been extracted by Zhou Rui, and they are already outdated.

Zhou Rui said to Song Limin: "Shuai Song, your Royal Navy must not underestimate the enemy, you must be prepared to fight a tough battle.

The scientific and technological strength and industrial foundation of the six orc countries and the three elf countries actually surpassed that of our Han and Tang Empires as a whole.

The only advantage of our Han and Tang Empire is that it has a lot of funds and can expand its armaments without any scruples.

So even if you lose the decisive battle at sea, your Royal Navy still has a chance to make money.

I am going to ask the Ministry of Industry to build 150 Jumbo-class aircraft carriers and 300 Dongfang-class escort aircraft carriers at the same time.

If the docks with more than 10 tons are not enough, build new ones.

In addition, 24 new docks of 30 tons will be built, and 24 new island-class aircraft carriers will be built. "

Even though he was used to Zhou Rui's big handwriting, Song Limin was still intimidated by Zhou Rui's new shipbuilding plan.

At present, the six 6-ton floating docks at the Crescent Island Naval Base have begun to build six new island-class aircraft carriers.

This means that the Han and Tang Empires will build another 30 island-class aircraft carriers, 150 giant-class aircraft carriers, and 300 Dongfang-class escort aircraft carriers.

The cost of these aircraft carriers alone, together with the carrier-based aircraft, will add up to more than 450 billion silver coins, which does not include the funds needed for the new dock.

Song Limin hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, is it necessary to build so many aircraft carriers?

I believe that the current strength of our Royal Navy is enough to defeat the navies of those 9 countries. "

"Not only your navy, but also the air force and army, I am going to do my best to increase the production scale of weapons and equipment.

Perhaps in terms of the performance of weapons and equipment, our Han and Tang Empire can no longer surpass the coalition forces, but I want to use quantity to make up for it. If the performance cannot be crushed, then it will be crushed in quantity!

It doesn't matter even if it's not used in the end, our Han and Tang empires don't have many other things, but gold! "

Chapter 3 tens of thousands of warships

Sure enough, as Song Limin, the commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires, expected, the countries of the nine-nation military alliance decided to form a joint fleet of nine-nation navies after consultations because they were afraid that their navies would be defeated by the Han and Tang Empires.

And the new joint fleet of the nine-nation navies chose the gathering place at the port of Vicky, the Golden Lion Empire, on the side of the orc world.

Vickie Port is a military port of the Golden Lion Empire on the side of the Orc World, and there is a different space-time node connecting the port on the New World side, allowing warships to travel between the two worlds.

In a meeting room of the super battleship of the Golden Lion Empire Wild Lion, the Navy Minister of the Golden Lion Empire, Mitnia, said to the commanders of the navies of the other eight countries: "First of all, on behalf of the Golden Lion Empire, I welcome you to the port of Vikha. .

I think the first thing we need to do after the establishment of the joint fleet of the nine navies is to elect a commander-in-chief of the joint fleet of the nine navies in order to coordinate the navies of all countries to conduct joint operations. "

Mitnia took over as the Minister of the Navy of the Golden Lion Empire after the previous Minister of the Navy of the Golden Lion Empire, Raf, was killed in battle.

As soon as Mitnia's voice fell, Murka, the Navy Minister of the Black Bear Empire, said: "I recommend Marshal Mitnia to be the commander-in-chief of our joint fleet of nine navies."

The six orc nations, imitating the three elf nations, set up the rank of marshal in the armies of their respective countries.

At this moment, the commanders of various countries participating in the establishment meeting of the nine-nation naval joint fleet are all admirals.

Murka, at the end of the last war with the Han and Tang Empire, was the first deputy minister of the Navy of the Black Bear Empire. After Kamut, the previous navy chief of the Black Bear Empire, retired due to illness, Murka took over the role of the Black Bear Empire. Chief of the Navy.

Soon after, the Black Bear Empire learned from other orc nations and changed the chief of the navy to the minister of the navy.

The Navy Minister of the Red Tiger Empire, Svia, hesitated and said, "I agree with Marshal Mitnia as the commander-in-chief of the joint fleet of the nine navies."

Among the current six orc nations, the Golden Lion Empire, Scarlet Tiger Empire, and Black Bear Empire can be regarded as the three countries with the strongest military strength, and the same is true in terms of navy.

Since the two commanders of the Scarlet Tiger Empire and the Black Bear Empire both elected Mitnia, the Minister of the Navy of the Golden Lion Empire, to be the commander-in-chief of the joint fleet of the nine nations' navies, the remaining Navy Ministers of the Silver Wolf Empire Yegor and the Flying Leopard Empire The Minister of the Navy, Annott, and the Minister of the Navy of the Bull Empire, Larion, also nodded.

The naval commanders of the three elven countries are still the same as when the joint fleet was formed last time. The three admirals are the natural elf empire admiral Bolianka, the light elf empire admiral Peter Ye and the dark elf empire admiral Prot.

For the post of commander-in-chief of the joint fleet of the nine-nation navy, the three admirals of the elves had no intention of vying for it, so Mitnia, the Minister of the Navy of the Golden Lion Empire, passed the unanimous vote and became the second joint fleet of the nine-nation navy. commander.

Mitnia then said with a smile: "Since everyone intends to nominate you as the commander of the joint fleet of the nine navies, then I will not be polite.

In order to better cooperate with the navies of various countries in operations, let's talk about the size of the naval fleets of each country next! "

After a pause, Mitnia continued: "Let me start by throwing bricks and stones at the beginning. Our Royal Navy of the Golden Lion Empire has concentrated all 234 aircraft carriers, 268 battleships and 112 battlecruisers as required.

另外还有100艘护航航母、410艘大型装甲巡洋舰、480艘轻巡洋舰、590艘驱逐舰和128艘潜艇。

Among the 268 battleships, there are also 80 Lion-class super battleships with a full load displacement of up to 106000 tons. The Lion-class super battleship we are currently on is the first ship of the Lion-class super battleship. "

Before the formation of the joint fleet of the nine-nation navy, the six orc nations and the three elf nations reached an agreement, requiring all the capital ships of the navies of each country to join the nine-nation naval joint fleet this time.
