Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 177 Birthday Banquet
In the Xiande Hall of the Imperial Palace of Chang'an City, He Yunfei, the commander-in-chief of the Royal Army of the Great Tang Empire, said to Su Yi with a smile: "Your Majesty, for the benefit of our entire Great Tang Empire, it seems that you can only make a small sacrifice this time." gone."

A smile appeared on Su Yi's face and he said, "I never thought Liu Huaizhong, Minister of the Navy of the Liuyun Empire, would make such a request. For the sake of our Great Tang Empire, it seems that I really can only make some sacrifices."

After Su Yi said these words, he couldn't help laughing, and Liu Muqing's beautiful face of joy and anger appeared in his mind, and his smile was a little wretched.

He Yunfei then said to Su Yi: "Your Majesty, I believe that the navy should send a batch of troops from the Tang Empire to Huitong Port and Huitong City as soon as possible. The infantry divisions of the empire are all rushing to Huitong City. Although Liu Huaizhong controls the Fifth Infantry Corps of the Royal Army of the Liuyun Empire in the Huitong City area, the combat effectiveness of the Royal Army of the Liuyun Empire is really unsatisfactory. The troops of our Great Tang Empire will be stationed in Huitong Port and Huitong City as soon as possible."

Su Yi nodded and said: "Currently, the main forces of the Third Fleet and Fifth Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire are in the waters of the Liuyun Empire, and because of the plan of the Military Intelligence Bureau to seize the Sharad Navy warship in Huitong Port, There are two marine brigades, two infantry brigades of the [-]rd Guards Infantry Division and a heavy artillery regiment of the division, and they have been following the Fifth Fleet on transport ships. The two infantry brigades and one heavy artillery regiment of the Guards Infantry Division will be stationed in Huitong Port and Huitong City as soon as possible, but only after Liu Huaizhong has completely controlled Huitong Port."

He Yunfei then said: "I don't know what method Liu Huaizhong will use to capture the warships of the Sharad Navy in Huitong Port?"

Su Yi said with a smile: "Anyway, I can't grab it clearly, but I am also a little curious."

On the morning of October 3013, [-] in the Tang Dynasty, on the bridge of the former dreadnought battleship Baiyun of the Royal Navy of the Liuyun Empire, Liu Huaizhong, the Minister of the Navy of the Liuyun Empire, asked Tang Guoyi, the senior counselor of the Ministry of the Navy, "What is the birthday of the evening?" Has the banquet and the food and wine prepared for the warships of the Sharad Navy been arranged?"

Tang Guoyi, a senior counselor of the Ministry of the Navy, nodded solemnly and said, "Marquis Liu, we have made preparations according to your instructions. There is also news from Floating Cloud City that the family members of high-ranking officers have all safely evacuated from Floating Cloud City. Yes, but we have a limited amount of the drug that can cause hallucinations, and it is impossible for all the officers and soldiers of the Sharad navy on the warships to eat food and drinks mixed with this drug."

Liu Huaizhong said: "As long as we can capture the seven super dreadnought battleships and the six dreadnought battleships, we will have made a world-class contribution to the Tang Empire! I hope the old man's decision is right. After we start, we can't Turn back, I am sorry to the emperor!"

Tang Guoyi hesitated for a moment and said: "Marquis Liu, it is the general trend that the Liuyun Empire is annexed by the Tang Empire, and our Royal Navy of the Liuyun Empire has no choice but to do so. We can't really leave the Liuyun Empire with the Sharad Navy! "

Faced with the current situation in the Liuyun Empire, the Sharad Empire knew very well that it was powerless, so it had to order the Sharad Empire troops stationed in various concessions of the Liuyun Empire, that is, the four infantry divisions of the Royal Sharad Army, Escorted the civilians of the Sharad Empire in the concession, rushed to Huitong City as soon as possible, joined the Floating Cloud Fleet of the Sharad Navy in Huitong Port, and then evacuated directly from Huitong Port.

Because the Fleet of the Sharad Navy is stationed in the Liuyun Empire, it is called the Liuyun Fleet within the Sharad Royal Navy.

As for the four Sharad Army infantry divisions currently surrounded by the Tang Empire army, the Sharad Empire Army Department only gave them an order to wait for an opportunity to break out of the encirclement. In fact, these four infantry divisions have been abandoned and cryptically told The commanders of the four infantry divisions, as a last resort, allowed to surrender to the army of the Tang Empire.

In Huitong Port, the commander of the Sharad Royal Navy Liuyun Fleet is named Nisim. Previously, Nisim asked Liu Huaizhong to lead the main force of the Liuyun Empire Royal Navy, and follow the Sharad Navy Liuyun Fleet under his command to evacuate Huitong Port. Return to the homeland of the Sharad Empire and wait for the opportunity to counterattack the Liuyun Empire again, but Liu Huaizhong has never agreed to this.

Liu Huaizhong nodded slightly and said: "This old man is already sixty this year, and I don't want to be a running dog for the Sharad Empire. I hope that Su Yi can really create a miracle."

Tang Guoyi immediately said: "Don't worry, Marquis Liu, don't look at the alliance of the seven first-class powers of Yingluoba, Sharad, Noomi, Monia, Jisk, Rielland, and Orenza, but if the big After the Tang Empire completely captured the Liuyun Empire, Su Yi controlled three of the four great empires of the Eastern Continent. The combined population of the Three Kingdoms of Tang, Liuyun, and Ziyue exceeded four billion. With a large amount of weapons and equipment, tens of millions of armies can be armed in this way. It is not so easy for the Seven Nations Alliance to defeat Su Yi, not to mention the combat effectiveness of the Tang Empire Army and the Ziyue Empire Army under Su Yi's command. Our Liuyun Empire Royal Army can compare."

After a pause, Tang Guoyi continued: "What's more, Su Yi still has a powerful navy in his hands that makes the Seven Nations Alliance very scrupulous. The final outcome of this war is still unpredictable. Su Yi may not have the possibility of winning. The reason for suggesting Marquis Liu to send that little girl, Mu Qing, to the Imperial Palace of the Tang Empire is that since we are all going to gamble, why not bet a little bigger."

Liu Huaizhong showed a firm look in his eyes and said: "Now it's time to go, pass on the old man's order, proceed according to the original plan, and let the world take a look today, our Royal Navy of the Liuyun Empire is not a fish belly."

At this time, on the bridge of the super dreadnought battleship Knight of the Sharad Navy, Captain Boris of the Knight said to the commander of the Liuyun Fleet Nissim: "Commander, the Minister of the Navy of the Liuyun Empire is hosting a banquet for you and us tonight." Many senior officers of the Liuyun Fleet attended his birthday party at the largest hotel in Huitong City."

Commander Nissim curled his lips and said, "Now that the Floating Cloud Empire is on the verge of subjugation, it is simply a great irony that the Minister of the Navy of the Floating Cloud Empire still has time to celebrate his birthday."

Captain Boris of the Knight then asked: "Commander, shall we go to the birthday party of the Minister of the Navy of the Liuyun Empire?"

Commander Nissim said indifferently: "The four infantry divisions of the Royal Army are escorting civilians from various concessions. It will take at least ten days for all of them to reach Huitong City, and to attend a birthday party. It won’t delay our retreat plan, and I just took the opportunity to talk to the navy minister of the Liuyun Empire about evacuating Huitong Port together.”

Boris, the captain of the Knight, frowned and said, "Commander, I don't understand why the navy of the Liuyun Empire was evacuated from Huitong Port. After all, the strength of the navy of the Liuyun Empire is not worth mentioning."

Commander Nisim explained: "Although the navy of the Liuyun Empire is very weak, in Huitong Port, the navy of the Liuyun Empire also has two former dreadnought battleships, six iron-clad battleships, four large armored cruisers, four [-] medium armored cruiser, [-] light cruisers, [-] destroyers, [-] torpedo boats and [-] gunboats, all add up to nearly [-] warships, if we don't take these warships of the Liuyun Empire Navy together In the end, it is very likely that they will all fall into the hands of the Navy of the Tang Empire, and Liu Huaizhong has served as the Minister of the Navy of the Liuyun Empire for many years, and has a very large influence in the entire Liuyun Empire. In the future, our Sharad Empire will counterattack the Liuyun Empire. People can make a difference.”

"What if Liu Huaizhong keeps disagreeing?"

"Some things are beyond his control!"

The captain of the Knight, Boris, hesitated for a moment and asked: "Commander, the Datang Empire Navy has appeared in the waters of the Liuyun Empire. Can our Liuyun fleet successfully break through the interception of the Datang Empire Navy and return to the mainland?"

Commander Nisim shrugged and said, "I'm not sure if I can break through the interception of the Datang Empire's navy, but there is news from the Admiralty that the main force of the Datang Empire's navy is still in Huifeng Port of the Datang Empire. , Our Liuyun Fleet has a great chance of success. If we really can't break through the interception of the Datang Empire Navy, we can only temporarily return to Huitong Port and wait for our Sharad Navy and the navies of Yingluoba and Noomi. The United Fleet came to the rescue."

At around 60:[-] p.m. on October [-]th, Nissim, Commander of the Liuyun Fleet of the Sharad Navy, brought hundreds of senior officers of the Sharad Navy to the largest hotel in Huitong City to attend the [-]th birthday of Liu Huaizhong, Minister of the Navy of the Liuyun Empire. dinner party.

In addition to the hundreds of senior officers of the Sharad Navy who came to the birthday banquet, there were also more than 200 officers from the Royal Navy of the Liuyun Empire, hundreds of officers from the Fifth Infantry Corps of the Royal Army of the Liuyun Empire, and dozens of local Huitong City officers. Officials participated, and a total of 200 banquet tables were held in this hotel, and more than 25 guards around the senior officers of the Sharad Navy accounted for [-] tables of banquets.

At the same time, thousands of officers and soldiers of the Royal Navy of the Liuyun Empire sent a large amount of good wine and food to the warships of the Sharad Navy.

The Royal Navy of the Liuyun Empire has done this many times before, so the officers and soldiers of the Sharad Navy who stayed on the warship did not reject the kindness of the Royal Navy of the Liuyun Empire. Say a word in Sharad to wish the Secretary of the Navy Liu Huaizhong a happy birthday.

Nissim, the commander of the Fleet of the Fleet of the Sharad Navy, sat beside Liu Huaizhong. After the dinner began, when he and Liu Huaizhong exchanged cups, Nissim asked Liu Huaizhong: "Marquis, I don't know what's wrong with following us Sara What are your thoughts on the withdrawal of the Royal German Navy's Liuyun Fleet from Huitong Port? After the four infantry divisions of the Royal Sharad Army arrive in Huitong City, our Sharad Royal Navy's Liuyun Fleet will set off."

Liu Huaizhong looked down at his watch, and then said with a wry smile: "Earl Nisim, although the current situation is very unfavorable to our Floating Cloud Empire, after all, Floating Cloud City is still there, and His Majesty the Emperor of our Floating Cloud Empire is still here, follow Sarah The matter of leaving the German Navy together is not something that I, the Minister of the Navy, can decide on my own."
