Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 167
On the evening of September [-]th, while the Prime Minister of the Sharad Empire, Shulik, was reporting to Emperor Herris, the prime ministers of the other six countries reported the number of troops that each of the seven countries' navy, army and army needed to send, as well as the plan for the distribution of benefits after the war. , sent back to China by telegram.

In addition to the navy, the seven countries need to attribute all the super dreadnought battleships, battlecruisers and dreadnought battleships in active service to the upcoming seven-nation naval joint fleet. In terms of the army, the seven countries also have a minimum troop quota, and This minimum amount does not include the army units of the vassal state.

The minimum number of troops sent by the Noomi Empire is 800 million, the minimum number of troops sent by the Sharad Empire is 700 million, the minimum number of troops sent by the Inrobah Empire is 600 million, the minimum number of troops sent by the Monia Empire is 500 million, and the minimum number of troops sent by the Jisk Empire , Rielland Empire and Orensa Empire have a minimum troop limit of 400 million.

Of course, the more troops the Seven Kingdoms Army can join this war, the greater the share of benefits it will receive after the war.

With regard to the number of troops required by each of the Seven Kingdoms' navy and land armies and the plan for the distribution of benefits after the war, the emperors of the Inroba Empire, the Noomi Empire, the Monia Empire, the Jisk Empire, the Rilland Empire, and the Orenza Empire, There was no big difference, so on the morning of September [-], the prime ministers of the seven countries gathered in a conference room in the Prime Minister's Office of the Sharad Empire to sign an agreement on the alliance of seven countries. word.

In order to give the countries some time to mobilize their troops and raise supplies for war preparations, the seven countries initially agreed to formally declare war on the Datang Empire and the Ziyue Empire at the beginning of January next year.

These seven countries did not conceal the alliance. On the afternoon of the signing of the agreement, the prime ministers of the seven countries jointly held a press conference at the Prime Minister's Office of the Sharad Empire, announcing that the seven countries will form a new alliance for world peace. The seven-nation alliance urges the seven countries and other countries in the world to reduce military power and stop the current military competition that is intensifying among countries in the world.

The seven powers in the world suddenly formed the seven-nation alliance, and other countries in the world were in an uproar. Many countries immediately reacted. This so-called seven-nation alliance was obviously established for the Datang Empire and the Ziyue Empire.

On the morning of September 3013th, [-] in the Tang Dynasty, in a hall of the Liuyun City Imperial Palace, the capital of the Liuyun Empire, Emperor Li Hong frowned and asked Prime Minister Cao Ziliang, "Prime Minister, what do you say to the Sharad Empire's morning news?" What do you think of the telegram that came?"

Prime Minister Cao Ziliang said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, the Sharad Empire will not only send millions of troops to the territory of our Liuyun Empire, but the Monia Empire and Rielan Empire will also have nearly [-] million troops entering our Liuyun Empire. , plus a few days ago, the seven countries of Yingluoba, Sharad, Noomi, Monia, Jisk, Rielan, and Orenza announced the formation of the Seven-Nation Alliance. It is obvious that these seven powers are going to unite Started against the Tang Empire and the Ziyue Empire."

Emperor Li Hong asked in confusion: "Prime Minister, do you think our Liuyun Empire can stay out of this war?"

Prime Minister Cao Ziliang said bitterly: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that the Sharad Empire will not agree, and tens of millions of troops from the Sharad Empire, Monia Empire, and Rielan Empire will enter our Liuyun Empire. At that time, the Liuyun Empire might be unable to help itself."

Emperor Li Hong sighed and said: "Although I am wary of the Great Tang Empire, and even prepared for a war with the Great Tang Empire, I am not willing to do the work of Yingluoba, Sharad, Noomi, and Moni." The accomplices of the Seven Kingdoms of Asia, Gisk, Rielan, and Orenza, alas—"

Prime Minister Cao Ziliang hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, this time the Yingluoba, Sharad and other seven great powers unite, even if the Tang Empire and the Ziyue Empire are combined, they will definitely lose. Our Liuyun Empire is caught in the middle , there is not much room for choice.”

Emperor Li Hong gritted his teeth suddenly and said: "Prime Minister, do you think our Liuyun Empire can unite with Datang and Ziyue? After all, we are all Tang people's country!"

Prime Minister Cao Ziliang was terrified by Emperor Li Hong's words, "Your Majesty, absolutely not, that would push our Liuyun Empire into the abyss!"

Emperor Li Hong said discouragedly: "Forget it, I'm just talking about it, and I also know that in the face of the alliance of the seven great powers such as Yingluoba and Sharad, even if all the countries in the entire Eastern Continent are united, it will not be possible. It is impossible to be the opponent of the Seven Nations Alliance. If war breaks out, our Liuyun Empire will try to send as little army as possible to the territory of the Tang Empire, alas—"

Just as Li Hong, Emperor of Liuyun Empire, was sighing, in the palace of Tianxing City, the capital of Tianxing Empire, Song Cui, Emperor of Tianxing Empire, also frowned and asked Prime Minister Huang Kun: "Now Yingluoba, Sharad, Nuo'ao The seven countries of Mi, Monia, Jisk, Rielland, and Orenza have formed an alliance, and it is obvious that they are going to attack the Tang Empire and the Ziyue Empire. What does the Prime Minister think our Skystar Empire should do then?"

Prime Minister Huang Kun sighed and said, "Your Majesty, the Gisk Empire's garrison in our Skystar Empire now exceeds 300 million troops. Once war breaks out, our Skystar Empire has to stand on the side of the Seven Nations Alliance even if we don't want to. Our Celestial Star Empire has absolutely no right to choose."

Emperor Song Zui frowned even tighter, "I am worried that the Jisk Empire will force our army troops of the Heavenly Star Empire to attack the Great Tang Empire or the Ziyue Empire. If that happens, the reputation of our Royal Family of the Heavenly Star Empire in the country will be damaged. It got worse."

Prime Minister Huang Kun said helplessly: "Facing the alliance of the seven great powers, the Great Tang Empire and the Ziyue Empire have no chance of winning at all, and our Heavenly Star Empire can only take care of ourselves. It may not directly send troops to join the war, but I am worried that the Jisk Empire will not agree."

Emperor Song sighed, "First suspend the plan to continue the expansion of the Royal Army, and hope that the Jisk Empire will not be too unkind."

When the news of the alliance of Yingluoba, Sharad, Noomi, Monia, Jisk, Rielan, and Orensa reached Chang'an City, Su Yi immediately sent the big brother who had been staying in Chang'an City He Yunfei, Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Army of the Tang Empire, Xu Haoming, the Prime Minister of the Tang Empire, and Shi Jian, the Deputy Prime Minister of the Cabinet, gathered in the Hall of Virtue in the palace.

Su Yi sneered and said: "This is really a tree that wants to be quiet but the wind is not stopping. This so-called alliance formed by the seven countries including Yingluoba and Sharad is obviously aimed at our Datang Empire and Ziyue Empire. A war is inevitable."

The deputy prime minister of the cabinet, Shi Jian, said with a pale face at this time: "Your Majesty, the industrial, military and The economy has always been at the forefront of the world. Once the war really breaks out, the consequences are likely to be unimaginable. Can you ask..."

Su Yi waved his hand and interrupted what the Deputy Prime Minister Shi Jian was going to say next, "Prime Minister Shi, even if our Great Tang Empire and the Ziyue Empire make compromises, they may not let our Great Tang Empire and the Ziyue Empire go, so we still don't There is no need to be lucky anymore, what our Great Tang Empire and even the Ziyue Empire must do next is to prepare our army for war, and prepare to face the so-called Seven Kingdoms Alliance!"

Cabinet Prime Minister Xu Haoming immediately said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty is right. Compromise cannot be exchanged for concessions. When we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win. As long as the 29 billion people of the Tang Empire and the Ziyue Empire unite as one, we will definitely be able to defeat the seven-nation alliance." !"

After the Great Tang Empire annexed the Hele Kingdom, the population has approached 20 billion, and the Ziyue Empire currently has a population of more than 9 million. Adding the two together, the population has exceeded 29 billion.

Su Yi nodded slightly and said: "Next, our Datang Empire and the Ziyue Empire must prepare for the war with all our strength, and each arsenal must expand its scale and implement a 24-hour three-shift system to strive to produce more weapons and ammunition. Each shipyard also needs to implement three shifts to further speed up the speed of shipbuilding. In addition, enterprises related to the military industry, such as iron and steel plants and chemical plants, must also enter the wartime system. supply."

Cabinet Prime Minister Xu Haoming immediately said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely take care of the production of various arsenals and shipyards in person, and ensure the supply of weapons and ammunition for all army units as much as possible, so that our Royal Navy of the Great Tang Empire will be able to survive in the future." In war, have more warships."

Su Yi turned his head and said to He Yunfei: "Since Yingluoba, Sharad and other seven countries have made it clear that they will attack our Datang Empire and Ziyue Empire, then immediately put all reserve infantry divisions on combat readiness and step up training. If the weapons are not enough, the weapons that have been sealed up in various places can be temporarily handed over to the reserve infantry divisions for use."

Relying on the huge human resources of the Great Tang Empire and the Ziyue Empire, in just over a month, in the 64 provinces of the Great Tang Empire and the 33 provinces of the Ziyue Empire, according to Su Yi's request, the total Six hundred reserve infantry divisions were built, and the personnel of these six hundred reserve infantry divisions have reached full strength.

However, the soldiers of these [-] reserve infantry divisions are almost all farmers, workers, and craftsmen who have just been recruited. Each reserve infantry division has only nearly [-] active-duty officers as the backbone. Most of the weapons and ammunition are not yet in place, so the six hundred reserve infantry divisions have not yet formed any combat effectiveness.

He Yunfei nodded and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, as long as there are two months of training time, these 7000 reserve infantry divisions will be able to have a certain combat effectiveness. By then, our Royal Army of the Tang Empire and the Royal Army of the Ziyue Empire will be able to have more than [-] troops." With [-] million troops, the Seven Nations Alliance is nothing."
