Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 20 Iron Duke and Ise
In Xingang City, Su Yi learned that the Orensa Empire had suddenly launched an undeclared war against the Ziyue Empire, and immediately knew that the war between the Liuyun Empire and the Skystar Empire could not be fought. In the state of super combat readiness, Su Yi had a premonition that the other three major powers in the Eastern Continent should not ignore the invaded Ziyue Empire.

Sure enough, the Cangyu Empire, the Liuyun Empire, and the Skystar Empire soon declared war on the Orensa Empire, but what Su Yi didn't expect was that the Sharad Empire and the Jisk Empire among the world's seven major powers would fight Orensa Empire. The empire formed a military alliance, which changed the war from four to one to four to three.

Although there are four countries on the Eastern Continent, these four countries are all second-class powers. Facing the alliance of three first-class powers, they are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength.

The Sharad Empire has a land area of ​​900 million square kilometers, [-] states, a population of more than [-] million, and its economic strength ranks second in the world. It has the world's second-ranked navy and the world's second-ranked army. Comprehensive national strength also ranks second in the world.

The navy of the Sharad Empire currently has 32 dreadnought battleships, 48 ​​former dreadnought battleships, and 800 ironclad battleships. The army strength of the Sharad Empire exceeds 500 million, and there are more than [-] million reserve troops.

The land area of ​​the Jisk Empire is about 200 million square kilometers. It has 28 states and a population of more than [-] million. Its comprehensive national strength ranks fifth in the world. It has the fifth largest navy in the world and the sixth largest army in the world. .

The navy of the Gisk Empire currently has 22 dreadnought battleships, 28 former dreadnought battleships, and 450 armored battleships. The army strength of the Gisk Empire is about 800 million, and the reserve force is about [-] million.

After the Sharad Empire and the Jisk Empire joined the war, Su Yi immediately felt the pressure. Among the four eastern countries, the Ziyue Empire, with the strongest navy, suffered heavy losses at the beginning of the war and lost almost half of its capital ships. , making the entire Eastern Continent, the most powerful navy, become the Xingang Fleet under Su Yi's command.

Presumably, the navies of the Sharad Empire, Jisk Empire, and Orensa Empire would not ignore the threat of the Newport Fleet. After all, the Newport Fleet still belongs to the Liuyun Empire in name.

Su Yi was very depressed about this. He stayed in Xingang City honestly and didn't provoke anyone. As a result, the city gate caught fire, which brought disaster to Chiyu, and three powerful enemies appeared for no reason.

Just when Su Yi was depressed, the system suddenly reminded him that he had completed the system task of defending Xingang City for 30 days, and rewarded Su Yi with a diamond treasure box.

Su Yi received this task on the 27th of last month, and today is January 3011, 27 in the Tang calendar, exactly 30 days.

Su Yi looked at the diamond treasure box in the system item warehouse, took a deep breath, and silently recited the blessing of the Buddha several times before opening the diamond treasure box with consciousness. After the diamond treasure box disappeared in the colorful light, eight A card appeared in the item warehouse.

It is equipped with five double-mounted 45-caliber 343mm main guns, twelve 45-caliber 152mm secondary guns, and four 47mm guns. Millimeter rapid-fire guns, four 533mm torpedo tubes, 305mm main armor on the side, 76mm deck armor, 279mm main turret armor, and a crew of 95 people.

Su Yi saw the eight cards drawn out of this diamond treasure chest, and his expression improved a lot. With these eight cards, his Xingang Fleet can immediately add four super dreadnought battleships and four pre-dreadnought battleships With four large armored cruisers, the system can be regarded as a timely help this time.

The cards of the four types of shells, together with the shells and torpedoes already in the system mall, included all the ammunition needed for the British Iron Duke-class battleship and the Japanese Ise-class battleship.

Su Yi first transferred the eight cards to the system mall with his consciousness, and then bought all the products on the eight cards and stored them in the system's item warehouse.

Next, Su Yi came to the port of Xingang City, extracted two Ise-class battleships, two Iron Duke-class battleships, four Edward VII-class battleships and four Minotaur-class armored cruisers, and followed Wang Chengliang, commander of the Xingang Fleet beside Su Yi, danced with joy when he saw the twelve extra warships.

The two Ise-class battleships were named Tong'an and Tongrui by Su Yi, and the two Iron Duke-class battleships were named Chubo and Chutai by Su Yi.

The Newport Fleet already has two Edward VII-class battleships, Jianwei and Jianyong, and the new four are named Jianren, Jianwu, Jianli and Jiansignal.

The Xingang Fleet already has two Minotaur-class armored cruisers, namely Feihong and Feiying, and the new four are named Feiting, Feirui, Feihe and Feichen.

"Marshal, that's great! With the addition of these twelve warships, the strength of our Xingang Fleet has at least doubled! Now, among the twelve capital ships of our Xingang Fleet, six are super dreadnought battleships. Among the navies of various countries, apart from our Xingang fleet, only the navy of the British Empire has eight super dreadnought battleships!" Wang Chengliang said excitedly and proudly.

There was no joy on Su Yi's face, "Although the strength of our Xingang Fleet has increased again, our Xingang Fleet has three more powerful enemies, the navies of the Sharad Empire, the Jisk Empire, and the Orensa Empire. No one is easy to mess with, maybe they will come to fight at any time, these three naval powers all have more than dozens of capital ships, and the Sharad Empire even has hundreds of capital ships."

"Don't worry, Marshal, the number of sea battles does not completely determine the outcome. With six super dreadnought battleships, our Xingang fleet is still capable of fighting!"
