Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 194
The fact that the Jisk Navy wanted to unite the three navies of Monia, Rilland, and Orensa to deal with the First Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Purple Moon Empire was soon known by the other six countries of the Seven Nations Alliance.

Of course, the three countries of Yingluoba, Sharad, and Noomi are very supportive of this, but the Monia Empire and the Rielland Empire are unwilling to send a fleet to join a joint fleet of the Seven Nations Alliance. The joint fleet of the five navies caused the Monia Navy and the Rielland Navy to suffer too badly.

Of the nineteen super dreadnought battleships and nineteen battlecruisers sent by the Monia Navy, only seven super dreadnought battleships and six battlecruisers were withdrawn to the Monia Empire.

The Monia Navy has now completed the construction of four super dreadnought battleships and four battlecruisers, and joined the active service, making the Monia Navy's super dreadnought battleships restored to eleven, and the number of battlecruisers restored to ten. , and before August, the last six super dreadnought battleships and six battlecruisers under construction by the Monia Navy will also be completed.

Relatively speaking, the Rielland Navy was much worse. Of the eight super dreadnought battleships and seven battlecruisers that joined the joint fleet of the five navies, only one super dreadnought battleship and one battlecruiser survived in the end.

In the shipyard of the Rielland Empire, ten super dreadnought battleships and [-] battlecruisers have just started laying the keels. Dreadnoughts and a battlecruiser to support the facade.

The Orenza Navy will only have six super dreadnought battleships and six battlecruisers entering service next month, and ten more super dreadnought battleships and ten battlecruisers will join the Orenza Navy's sequence before August, but The Orenza Empire has little interest in forming a joint fleet. After all, in the eyes of the Orenza Empire, the first fleet of the Purple Moon Empire Navy, which has 36 super dreadnought battleships and twelve battlecruisers, is not so easy defeated.

On the afternoon of April 3014th, [-] in the Tang Dynasty, in the palace of Mesaca, the capital of the Inaba Empire, Emperor Penello asked Prime Minister August: "Prime Minister, what do you think of the Jisk Empire?" What do you think of the proposed formation of another combined fleet?"

Prime Minister August said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, if the four countries of Monia, Jisk, Rielan, and Orenza can really form a combined naval fleet, then no matter whether the combined naval fleet of the four countries can defeat the Purple Moon Empire The First Fleet of the Navy will relieve a lot of pressure on the navies of Inaba, Sharad, and Noomi."

Since the defeat of the joint fleet of the five navies, the navies of the three countries, Yingluoba, Sharad, and Noomi, have become a little nervous. They are worried that the main naval forces of the Datang Empire and the Ziyue Empire will take the opportunity to launch attacks on the important ports of the three countries. , especially some large shipyards in the Three Kingdoms.

For this reason, the three navies of Yingluoba, Sharad, and Noomi have been on high alert for more than two months.

Emperor Penello sighed and said: "It's a pity that the three countries of Monia, Rielland, and Orenza don't want to participate in this naval joint fleet, otherwise, as the Prime Minister said, it can relieve the pressure of our Yingluoba, Sharad, and Nuoba. There is no small pressure on the Omi three countries' navies."

Prime Minister August pondered for a while and said: "Your Majesty, the Rielland Navy will not be able to recover in a short time, but before August this year, the Monia Navy will regain its possession of [-] super dreadnought battleships and [-] battleships." The Orenza Navy will also have sixteen super dreadnought battleships and sixteen battlecruisers at that time, so the Monia Navy and the Orenza Navy still have the strength to join this naval combined fleet, but We need other countries of the seven-nation alliance to do work for the Monia Empire and the Orenza Empire."

Emperor Penello nodded and said: "Then contact Sharad and Noomi as soon as possible, and then persuade the Monia Empire and the Orenza Empire! We have ten tenacious super-dreadnought ships in the Royal Inaba Royal Navy Battleships and ten Ambush-class battlecruisers are about to enter service. In the period before, we must ensure the safety of these ten Tough-class super dreadnought battleships and ten Ambush-class battlecruisers. There must be no accidents! "

Prime Minister August immediately said: "The Admiralty reported that ten Tough-class super dreadnought battleships and ten Ambush-class battlecruisers can all join active service by the end of May because of accelerated sea trials and painting. The super dreadnought-class battleship and twenty ambush-class battlecruisers should also be able to complete the construction ahead of schedule, and they will all be able to join our British Royal Navy's sequence around mid-September."

Emperor Penello smiled with satisfaction and said: "With these thirty tough-class super dreadnought battleships and thirty ambush-class battlecruisers, at least the coastal areas of our British Empire will be much safer. By the way, the Navy What does the Ministry think about building the next class of super dreadnoughts and battlecruisers?"

Prime Minister August said: "Your Majesty, the Admiralty has designed a super dreadnought battleship and a battlecruiser with a main gun caliber of 406 mm, but the cost of this super dreadnought battleship will reach about 340 million pounds , The cost of this battlecruiser is almost 300 million British dollars, and this refers to the cost of mass construction, if only relying on the empire's finances..."

Before Prime Minister August finished his words, he was interrupted by Emperor Penello, "No matter how expensive it is, it must be made, and the funds will be settled by the royal family. In the war between the two navies, 32 super dreadnought battleships and [-] battlecruisers were lost at once. We, the British Empire, must build more super dreadnought battleships and battlecruisers to ensure that our British Royal Navy It can return to the position of the world's number one navy as soon as possible."

Prime Minister August hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, the Admiralty believes that the comprehensive performance of the tough-class super dreadnought battleship and the ambush-class battlecruiser is very good, and a tough-class one only costs 300 million pounds, and an ambush-class It only needs 260 million U.S. dollars. The Admiralty hopes to build another batch of tough and ambush classes. As for super dreadnought battleships and battlecruisers with 406mm main guns, you can build a few experimentally first to see their overall performance how."

Emperor Penello waved his hand, "I am very confident in the design capabilities of the Admiralty. Thirty super dreadnought battleships and battlecruisers with 406mm main guns can be built each. In addition, since the Admiralty hopes to build another If we don’t approve the tenacity-class and ambush-class ships, then build another thirty tenacity-class ships and thirty ambush-class ships, and the royal family will be responsible for all the construction costs!”

Prime Minister August was completely overwhelmed by Emperor Penello's arrogance. According to Emperor Penello's meaning, this is to build sixty super dreadnought battleships and sixty battlecruisers at the same time, and all construction costs will be increased. It would cost 6000 million U.S. dollars. Prime Minister August really wanted to ask, how much money does the royal family of Inaba have?
Seeing Prime Minister August's shocked expression, Emperor Penello said with a slight smile: "I know that if we build sixty super dreadnought battleships and sixty battlecruisers at once, the large size of our British Empire will The docks should not be enough, so I will spend a sum of money to build or renovate a batch of docks, so that our British Empire can have the ability to build 120 capital ships at the same time."

Prime Minister August hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, as long as the funds are in place, various shipyards in the Inroba Empire will soon be able to build or renovate a batch of 120-ton shipyards, and then build [-] battleships at the same time." There shouldn't be any problem."

Emperor Penello then said decisively: "In addition to capital ships, more warships of other types should be built, and the problem of funds should also be solved by the royal family. Return to the position of the world's number one navy!"

Prime Minister August hesitated at this moment and said: "Your Majesty, even if the 130 super dreadnought battleships and [-] battlecruisers that our British Empire plans to build also join the Royal Navy, it seems that compared with Datang and Ziyue The navies of the two countries are also slightly inferior. According to the latest information obtained by the intelligence agencies, the combined super dreadnought battleships of the Datang and Ziyue navies still seem to exceed [-] ships. The number of battlecruisers is relatively small, only about seven About ten ships, and I don’t know when, the super dreadnought battleships and battlecruisers of the Datang and Ziyue navies will increase a lot. After all, we haven’t found out where Su Yi built so many. Battleship."

Emperor Penello pondered for a while and said: "What the Prime Minister means is that we plan to let the shipyards of the British Empire to build more super dreadnought battleships and battlecruisers at the same time?"

Prime Minister August shook his head and said: "You can't become a fat man with one bite, and building [-] super dreadnought battleships and [-] battlecruisers at the same time is almost the limit of our shipbuilding industry in the British Empire. Well, we, the British Empire, will have to build capital ships with larger main guns in the future!"

When Emperor Penello heard it, it turned out that Prime Minister August was worried about the royal family's funds, which were spent on the [-] super dreadnought battleships and [-] battlecruisers to be built, and he would no longer be able to support the Royal Navy of Inaba Build capital ships with larger gun calibers.

Emperor Penello then said confidently: "Don't worry, the prime minister, the royal family's funds are very sufficient. When these [-] super dreadnought battleships and [-] battlecruisers are completed, I will invest more funds in the Royal Navy and build A battleship with a larger gun caliber!"
