Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 201
In the palace of Nasya City, the capital of the Monya Empire, Emperor Ippoli gritted his teeth and said to Prime Minister Toliczka: "The Tang Empire is simply deceiving people too much, and it's nothing more than stealing the warships in the port of Azem." Before leaving, he even blew up all the docks in the Port of Azem Shipyard, this account, sooner or later, I will have to find the Tang Empire to settle it!"

Prime Minister Toliczka said sadly: "Your Majesty, now the first fleet of the Monia Royal Navy has been wiped out. The second fleet and the third fleet together only have three super dreadnought battleships and two battleships. A row of cruisers and five dreadnought battleships can barely sustain the scene, because the Azem Port Shipyard was destroyed, and our Monia Royal Navy will not have new battleships in service in a short time, and our Monia Royal Navy will leave The further shipbuilding plan has also been seriously affected."

According to the next shipbuilding plan of the Monia Royal Navy, twenty Fantasy-class super dreadnought battleships with 381mm main guns and twenty Tornado-class battlecruisers with 381mm main guns will be built, of which there are twelve The Fantasy class and the twelve Storm class are ready to be built at the Azem Port Shipyard.

Emperor Ippoli then pondered for a while and said: "I plan to set aside 40 billion lari from the royal family's funds for the reconstruction of our Royal Navy in Monia. I hope to double the number of fantasy-level and storm-level buildings." times."

Lari is the currency unit of the Monian Empire. According to the current exchange rate, eight lari can be exchanged for one British dollar, and 40 billion lari is equivalent to [-] million British pounds.

Hearing that Emperor Ippoly was willing to spend 40 billion lari in the Royal Navy of Monia at once, Prime Minister Tolicka couldn't help showing a look of shock. You must know that Emperor Ippoly always valued money very much. Importantly, after the Monia Empire joined the Seven Nations Alliance, many ministers tactfully suggested to Emperor Yippoli that they hoped that the royal family could provide a sum of money for the expansion of the Royal Army and Royal Navy of the Monia Empire.

However, the proposals of these ministers were flatly rejected by the emperor Yippoli. Emperor Yippoli only agreed to reduce the 3014 million lari that the Ministry of Finance of the Monia Empire had to hand over to the Monia royal family in 5000 in the Tang calendar. It is [-] million Lari.

Later, the Ministry of Finance of the Monia Empire, which lacked funds, had to issue 18 billion Lari national debt, otherwise it would not be able to support the Royal Monia Army to form a new [-] infantry regiments.

Prime Minister Toliczka said with some excitement: "Your Majesty, with the 40 billion lari allocated by the royal family, it will not be a problem to double the number of fantasy-level and storm-level constructions!"

Emperor Yipupoli said immediately: "Then let the Ministry of the Navy formulate a new plan for the reconstruction of the Royal Navy. Our Monia Empire needs a powerful navy to guard the tens of thousands of kilometers of coastline of our Monia Empire. What happened in Port Zem must never happen again!"

The news that Azem Port was raided by the Navy of the Great Tang Empire quickly spread throughout the world, and many countries felt unbelievable about the results achieved by the Imperial Navy of the Great Tang Empire.

In the royal palace of Meseka City, the capital of the British Empire, Emperor Penello put down a piece of paper in his hand, then curled his lips and said to Prime Minister August: "I really doubt that the Monian Empire belongs to Which side gave the Datang Empire Navy [-] super dreadnought battleships and [-] battlecruisers for nothing at one time, do you still think that the Navy of the Datang Empire is not strong enough?"

Prime Minister August said with a wry smile: "The Monia Navy has lost too much this time. According to the intelligence department, the entire Monia Navy has only three super dreadnought battleships and two battlecruisers left. The other capital ships that can be used are only five dreadnought battleships, and it seems impossible for the four countries of Monia, Jisk, Rielan, and Orenza to form a combined naval fleet."

The three countries of Yingluoba, Sharad, and Noomi are trying their best to promote the navies of Monia, Jisk, Rielland, and Orensa to form a joint fleet to relieve the pressure on the navies of the three countries. It would be even more perfect to severely damage the fleet of the Tang Empire Navy in the Western Ocean.

Most of the coastlines of the Tang Empire bordered on the Eastern Ocean, and only the coastline of the original Ziyue Empire belonged to the Western Ocean.

Emperor Penello sighed and said: "Without the Monia Navy, relying on the strength of the three navies of Jisk, Rielan, and Orenza, it is impossible to defeat the first fleet of the former Purple Moon Empire Navy that stayed in the Western Ocean, not to mention The Tang Empire Navy has recently sent many more warships to the Western Ocean, and it seems that the combined fleet of the four navies of Monia, Jisk, Rielan, and Orenza cannot be successfully formed."

Prime Minister August said with some emotion: "Now the former First Fleet of the Purple Moon Empire Navy has been renamed the Fifth Fleet of the Datang Empire Navy. The fleet of super dreadnought battleships alone has already reached more than forty ships, and this is only the main fleet of the Datang Empire Navy. You must know that the Datang Empire Navy now has a total of seven main fleets!"

Emperor Penello shook his head and said: "It seems that in terms of the navy, our British Empire and the entire Seven-Nation Alliance can only hide our strengths and bide our time for a while. After the number of naval battleships in various countries recovers, we will study how to deal with the Great Tang Empire." Let’s deal with the navy! Let all the ports along the coast of the British Empire raise the level of vigilance to another level, and what happened in the port of Azem must not be repeated in the ports of our British Empire!”

However, less than two hours after Emperor Penello finished the above remarks, he received the news that the port of Adrian of the Inaba Empire had been attacked by the Navy of the Tang Empire.

Port Adrian is a civilian port on the northern coast of the Inlobal Empire. There is also a large-scale shipyard in Port Adrian. The Royal Navy of Adrian has four light cruisers and eight destroyers, and they are building ships in Port Adrian. factory to build.

Although Adrian Port is a civilian port, it also built a fort. After the Seven Nations Alliance and the Tang Empire declared war, Adrian Port added two more forts, and also stationed a light cruiser, a The Royal Navy's Port Adrian Garrison Fleet consisted of three destroyers, two torpedo boats and two gunboats.

In the early morning of May 3014, [-] in the Tang Dynasty, a fleet of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire suddenly appeared outside the Port of Derian. This fleet included four Tiger-class battlecruisers, four Blücher-class large armored cruisers, four Cairo-class light cruisers and eight Vickers-class destroyers.

The twenty warships that appeared outside the Port of Adrian belonged to the Second Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire. They were drawn out to form a breaching fleet, and then rushed to the waters of the British Empire to deal with the British Empire. The Loba Empire engages in a naval battle.

You must know that the British Roman Empire is the most developed country in maritime trade in the world. The maritime trade share of the British Roman Empire accounted for almost 30.00% of the world's total. Soon, the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire formed the first fleet to break the war, hoping to attack the merchant ships of the British Empire, destroy the ports of the British Empire, and block the maritime trade channels of the British Empire.

In order to allow the breaking ships to fight at sea for a long time, the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire also specially deployed six large military transport ships with a displacement of more than 20 tons and a speed of [-] knots, full of oil, coal, shells, etc. All kinds of supplies have joined the breaking fleet.

This break-off fleet set off from Huifeng Port of the Tang Empire in early March. After more than two months of sailing, it was not until yesterday, that is, May [-]th, that the break-off fleet entered the Yingluoba Empire. the sea area.

The more than two months of sea travel of the broken-off fleet has not been fruitless. A total of 22 merchant ships from the three countries of Inrobah, Sharad, and Noomi were sunk by the broken-off fleet, among which the British Empire’s Merchant ships accounted for eighteen ships.

After the fleet came to the waters near Port Adrian, they found that there was a shipyard in Port Adrian, and there were not many warships of the Inaba Navy in Port Adrian, and there were not many forts in Port Adrian, so they broke the diplomatic ties. The commander of the fleet, He Yongchang, made a decisive decision and ordered the bombardment of the shipyard in Port Derian.

The four Tiger-class battlecruisers used 343mm main guns to bombard the shipyard in Port Adrian almost 3000 meters away.

Among the three forts in Port Adrian, the coastal defense guns with the largest caliber and the longest range are six 155mm guns with a maximum range of less than 3000 meters, facing the Tang Dynasty who has been parked more than 155 meters away. The Imperial Royal Navy had nothing to do with breaking the fleet. Six [-]mm artillery fired a few rounds and found that the range was not enough, so they died down.

A light cruiser, a destroyer, two torpedo boats, and two gunboats stationed in the Port of Adrian of the British Royal Navy bravely rushed out of the port, and faced the giants far superior to their own without fear. The Royal Navy of the Tang Empire broke through the fleet.

Of course, these six brave British Royal Navy warships did not affect the bombardment of the four Tiger-class battlecruisers on the Port Adrian Shipyard in the end. The breaking fleet divided into two large armored cruisers and two light cruisers. With four destroyers, these six warships of the Royal Navy of England were easily sunk.

The four Tiger-class battlecruisers felt that they had almost blown up the Port Adrian Shipyard, and then blasted at the port pier in Port Adrian for a while before turning around and leaving with the other sixteen warships in the broken fleet. Wait for the six large military transport ships more than ten nautical miles away to meet, and then continue to sail west along the coastline of the Inroba Empire.

"Boom—" Penello, the emperor of the Inlob Empire, slammed the table in front of him, and then angrily shouted to Brady, the Secretary of the Navy: "Immediately let several main fleets of the Royal Navy be dispatched, and take this The fleet of the Tang Empire Navy will be wiped out!"

I can't blame Emperor Penello for being very angry. Port Derian was attacked, but it was the first time that the Inroba Empire was attacked by the enemy in hundreds of years. Even more than 100 years ago, the Inroba Empire and the Noomi Empire In the seven-year war, the Inroba Empire’s homeland was never attacked by the Noomi army, and the Inroba army was always fighting against the Noomi army.

Secretary of the Navy Brady said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, it is still unclear how many warships the Great Tang Empire Navy has sent into the waters near our British Empire. In case it is a trap set by the Great Tang Empire Navy, It would be terrible to deliberately lure the main force of our Royal Navy of England to attack, so I think it's better to be careful."

Emperor Penelope smashed the table again, and shouted at the Secretary of the Navy, Brady: "The navy of the Great Tang Empire has reached the door of the Inlobal Empire, but you are still preparing to avoid the war. I think you are the Secretary of the Navy! I don't want to be that anymore!"

Secretary of the Navy Brady did not dare to answer Emperor Penello's words, but quickly asked for help and looked at Prime Minister August. Brady knew that he must not talk nonsense next, otherwise he, the Secretary of the Navy, might really be a It's over.

Prime Minister August immediately sighed and said: "Your Majesty, calm down. What Brady said is not unreasonable. After all, ten tough-class super dreadnought battleships and ten ambush-class battlecruisers have to wait until the end of the month to join the Royal Navy. Prior to this, the most powerful warships in the entire Royal Navy had only sixteen super dreadnought battleships, seven battlecruisers and fourteen dreadnought battleships left. The main fleet, if the Tang Empire Navy really sets up a trap, our Royal Navy of Inlobal will not be able to withstand it."

The words of Prime Minister August made Emperor Penello calm down a little, "Then we can't let this fleet of the Tang Empire Navy wreak havoc in the waters of our British Empire!"

Prime Minister August said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the most important thing for our British Empire now is to safely and steadily complete the construction of thirty tough-class super dreadnought battleships and thirty ambush-class battlecruisers. The shipyards of the tenacity class and the ambush class are located in each military port, so the main force of our Royal Inaba Navy must stay in each military port, and cooperate with the numerous coastal defense guns in the military port to protect the shipyards in each military port. .”

Emperor Penello showed a smile that was uglier than crying, "Then what about the many civilian ports and so many coastal cities in our British Empire?"

Prime Minister Auguste sighed and said: "Your Majesty, we are not ignoring the fleet of the Datang Empire Navy. We can form a search fleet mainly composed of dreadnought battleships and iron-clad battleships. In addition, let the civilian ports and cities along the coast, Evacuate as much as possible, at this time a trade-off must be made."
