Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 113 The Threat of Bluff

Emperor Modest of the Orenza Empire, after hearing that Prime Minister Niki Fore objected to the Royal Army of Orenza's continued increase of troops to the southern part of the Purple Moon Empire on the grounds of excessive logistical pressure, he frowned at Prime Minister Niki Fore. Fall said: "Prime Minister, you also know the casualties of the frontline troops in the past few days. Reinforcements must be sent. Is there any way you can relieve the pressure on the logistics?"

Prime Minister Nikifor said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, there is only one unsolvable solution now, which is to let the reinforcement infantry corps carry enough ammunition to fight for two or three months, and then take the road to the southern part of the Ziyue Empire." area."

The Minister of War, Adrian, immediately said in embarrassment: "Master Prime Minister, you also know how difficult the roads in the Ziyue Empire are. It may take a month for the reinforced infantry regiment to carry a large amount of ammunition to reach the front line. Is it really impossible to squeeze out the wagon?"

Prime Minister Nikifor shook his head and said: "There is no need to think about the reinforcements going to the railway. Now all the transportation capacity of the railway is used to ensure the logistics of the [-] infantry regiments. If additional reinforcements are sent, they can only go by road. Let the reinforcements carry enough ammunition themselves."

Emperor Modest immediately said decisively: "The Ministry of the Army will deploy another five regular legions, carrying ammunition that can support three months of high-intensity combat, and enter the southern region of the Ziyue Empire as soon as possible. This decisive battle with the Ziyue Empire and the Su Family Army , Our Orenza Empire has no way out."

As soon as the Minister of War, Andrian, heard the tone of Emperor Modest, he knew that he could no longer object. Adrian hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, if five regular legions are allowed to carry high-strength weapons that can last for three months Ammunition for combat, then the Ministry of the Army must recruit a large number of trucks and pack horses, and even recruit a large number of young and strong people to help transport ammunition.”

Emperor Modest nodded and said: "Trucks and pack horses, I will ask the prime minister to help the Ministry of the Army raise as much as possible. In addition, there is no need to recruit a large number of young and strong. The Ministry of the Army can recruit 100 million army reservists, and five regular The legion rushed to the southern region of the Ziyue Empire, and these 100 million army reservists could not only help transport ammunition, but also supplement the losses of the infantry regiments."

Prime Minister Niki Fore and Minister of War Andrian would say something later, but Emperor Modest continued: "I know that the Prime Minister and the Ministry of War have many difficulties, but in order to make our Orenza Empire a The ultimate victor of this war must overcome no matter what difficulties!"

Prime Minister Niki Fore and Minister of War Andrian looked at each other, with a trace of bitterness on their faces. Emperor Modest had already blocked what they wanted to say, and then they could only bite the bullet and finish. New troop increase plan.

Then Mihailo, the Minister of the Navy of the Orenza Empire, suddenly said: "Your Majesty, the port of Leon sent a telegram yesterday. In the waters outside the port of Leon, a large fleet of the Su family army was discovered. There are ten super dreadnought battleships alone. If there are more than one ship, I am worried that the independent fleet of the Su family army will attack the Leon Shipyard in Leon Port."

The Port of Leon is located about 200 kilometers west of the Wessel Strait. It is the largest military port of the Orenza Empire. The Leon Shipyard in the Port of Leon is the largest shipyard in the Orenza Empire. There are currently two Orenza Empires. The super dreadnought battleship designed and built by the Royal Saran Navy is in the dock of the Leon Shipyard, and almost 80.00% of the construction has been completed.

In addition to the two super dreadnought battleships, there are many armored cruisers, light cruisers, destroyers and torpedo boats under construction in the many docks of the Leon Shipyard.

When Emperor Modest heard this, his expression suddenly became tense, "The warships under construction in the Leon Shipyard are the hope for the reconstruction of our Orenza Royal Navy, and the independent fleet of the Su Family Army must not be destroyed! If the independent fleet The fleet is attacking the port of Leon, can the navy hold it?"

Minister of the Navy Mikhailo said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, with more than 300 coastal defense guns with a diameter of more than [-] mm in Leon Port, it is basically impossible for the independent fleet of the Su family army to capture Leon Port, but if the independent fleet takes the risk of bearing Some losses, to destroy the Leon Shipyard, our navy has no way to stop it. Currently in the port of Leon, our Orenza Royal Navy only has four former dreadnought battleships that have just been repaired, as well as two large armored cruisers and three medium-sized ships. Armored cruisers, six light cruisers, eight destroyers, eight gunboats, and eighteen torpedo boats, these warships are almost all of our Royal Navy of Orenza now.”

After the main force of the Orenza Royal Navy destroyed the batch of weapons and ammunition sold by the Inroba Empire to the Purple Moon Empire at the Starfish Port of the Ziyue Empire, they were surrounded by an independent fleet on their return journey. In the end, the Orenza Royal Navy The main force of the entire army was destroyed, and only the capital ships captured by the independent fleet included seven dreadnought battleships, four former dreadnought battleships, and eight ironclad battleships.

The reason why the Orenza Royal Navy can still have four former dreadnought battleships is because these four former dreadnought battleships were too seriously injured in the naval battle of Anbo Port. When the main force of the Orenza Royal Navy left Port Leon, these four A former dreadnought battleship was still undergoing repairs in the dock, which escaped the catastrophe.

Emperor Modest said with some dismay: "Could it be that the Leon Shipyard really can't keep it?"

Minister of the Navy Mikhailo shook his head sadly and said: "If the independent fleet of the Su family army is willing to bear some losses, according to the location of the Leon Shipyard, there is basically no possibility of surviving."

Emperor Modest gritted his teeth and said: "Then immediately contact the Su Family Army and tell that Su Yi that if his independent fleet dares to bombard the Leon Shipyard of our Orenza Empire, our Orenza Empire will not be able to guarantee Ziyue In the imperial occupied area, the lives of Tang civilians are safe!"

As soon as Emperor Modest's words fell, Prime Minister Niki Fore hurriedly dissuaded him: "Your Majesty, the Leon Shipyard is a military target. If our Orenza Empire uses civilians from the Ziyue Empire to threaten the Su family's army, not only It is morally untenable, and the Su family army should not be threatened by this. The most important thing is that the independent fleet of the Su family army now controls the sea. The independent fleet can completely blow up all the coastal cities of our Orenza Empire into ruins!"

Emperor Modest sighed and said: "Don't worry, Prime Minister, I will not really issue an order to massacre the civilians of the Ziyue Empire. I only hope to scare that Su Yi. The Leon Shipyard is our hope for the reconstruction of the Orenza Royal Navy." , I really can't afford to lose it!"
