Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 202

After the first fleet of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire attacked the Port of Adrian in the Anglo-Palian Empire, this fleet almost became a nightmare for all civilian ports and merchant ships of the Anglo-Palian Empire. Within a month, this breaking-off fleet attacked five civilian ports of the British Empire, blocked the waterways in the waters near the British Empire, and sank many merchant ships of the British Empire.

And just as this diplomatic fleet was ravaging the coast of the Yingluoba Empire, the other two naval fleets of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire also appeared on the coasts of the Noomi Empire and the Sharad Empire. Civilian ports and merchant ships attacked.

These two break-off fleets are the same as the first one, consisting of four battlecruisers, four large armored cruisers, four light cruisers, and eight destroyers, except that these two break-off fleets are They were drawn from the First Fleet and Sixth Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Datang Empire.

Facing the breaking fleet of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire, the three navies of Yingluoba, Noomi, and Sharad dispatched many warships to try to encircle and suppress the naval fleet of the Tang Empire that ravaged the coast of their own country, but the effect was not satisfactory.

The three fleets of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire don't fight you face to face at all. After discovering the enemy fleet, they immediately turned around and ran away.

You must know that in order to prevent falling into the trap of the Tang Empire Navy, the three navies of Yingluoba, Noomi, and Sharad dispatched warships are mainly dreadnought battleships and iron-clad battleships. The speed of these two battleships is not fast. It can't catch up with the battlecruiser-based breaking fleet, but other types of warships following the former dreadnought battleships and iron-clad battleships have enough speed, but without the former dreadnought battleships and ironclad battleships, even if they catch up with the breaking-up fleet , and only added some victories to the broken fleet.

On the morning of May 3014, 29 in the Tang Dynasty, in the palace of Kai City, the capital of the Noomi Empire, Emperor Edgloo said to Prime Minister Julian with a gloomy face: "Last night, what happened to Port Valerian Due to the attack of the Tang Empire Navy, the port facilities in Valerian Port suffered serious losses, and the shipyard in Valerian Port was also blown up. This is already the third destroyed shipyard in our Noomi Empire. Civilian ports, if the naval fleet of the Datang Empire is allowed to continue to attack the civilian ports of our Noomi Empire, the loss will be unbearable for our Noomi Empire."

Prime Minister Julian hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, before our Noomi Royal Navy, we were always worried about the traps that the Datang Empire Navy would set up, so we sent warships to encircle and suppress this Datang Empire Navy fleet, mainly the previous dreadnought battleships and Ironclad battleships are the main ones, but according to the information obtained by our Noomi Empire intelligence department, the main fleets of the Datang Empire Navy seem to be still in several military ports of the Datang Empire, so the ships that attacked the coast of our Noomi Empire This Tang Empire naval fleet should have no hidden strength, I suggest sending our Noomi Royal Navy’s super dreadnought battleships and battlecruisers to join the encirclement and suppression operation.”

After the joint fleet of the five navies finished the naval battle with the main forces of the Navies of Datang and Ziyue, the capital ships of the Noomi Royal Navy's expeditionary fleet ended up with only nine super dreadnought battleships, seven battlecruisers, and six The Dreadnought, seven former Dreadnoughts, and fifteen Ironclad battleships withdrew to the Noomi Empire.

However, at the end of April, the construction of another twelve Ocean-class super dreadnought battleships and twelve fighter-class battlecruisers of the Noomi Royal Navy was completed, and they joined the Noomi Royal Navy's sequence. Some of the battleships, so that the Noomi Royal Navy currently has 21 super dreadnought battleships, 27 battlecruisers, [-] dreadnought battleships, [-] former dreadnought battleships and [-] armored battleships.

Emperor Edgrew nodded and said: "Then quickly let the Royal Navy send super dreadnought battleships and battlecruisers to encircle and suppress, just like the fleet of the Tang Empire Navy, the strongest battleships are only four battleships. Cruiser, I hope to receive the victory report as soon as possible!"

Afterwards, Emperor Edgrew's face became a little dignified, "I heard that both Inaba and Sharad have formulated an unusually large shipbuilding plan?"

When Prime Minister Julian heard Emperor Edgrew's inquiry about this matter, his face became serious, "Your Majesty, it is true. According to the information obtained by the intelligence department, the Inrobal Empire plans to build another 406 tenacious-class and Thirty ambush-class ships will also start construction on thirty super-dreadnought battleships with 406mm main guns and thirty battlecruisers with [-]mm main guns. data."

After a pause, Prime Minister Julian continued: "The Sharad Navy is not far behind in building capital ships. They are planning to build another 24 Loud-class super dreadnought battleships and 24 Maple Leaf-class battlecruisers. At the same time, they will build 406 more. There are super dreadnought battleships with 406mm main guns and thirty battlecruisers with [-]mm main guns, and we have not obtained other data on the latter two battleships."

Emperor Edgrew sneered and said: "It seems that our Noomi Royal Navy plans to build 36 Misty-class super dreadnought battleships and 36 Quick Horse-class battlecruisers at the same time. The navy is still not enough!"

The Mist-class super dreadnought battleship of the Noomi Royal Navy has a standard displacement of 35800 tons and a full-load displacement of 40300 tons. It has five dual-mounted main guns with a caliber of 45 mm and a maximum speed of 381 knots.

The Kuaima-class battlecruiser has a standard displacement of 36300 tons and a full-load displacement of 41100 tons. It has five dual-mounted main guns with a caliber of 45 mm and a maximum speed of 381 knots.

Now these 36 Misty-class ships and 36 Fast-Horse-class ships have already started construction in many shipyards of the Noomi Empire. Among the various military ports, they have not been harassed by the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire for the time being.

As soon as Prime Minister Julian heard the tone of Emperor Edgrew, he knew that the Noomi Empire was going to build a new batch of large docks. After all, the Noomi royal family held a gold mine with an annual output of nearly 24 tons of gold and an annual A silver mine that produces more than [-] tons of silver, just this gold mine and this silver mine can bring about [-] billion yuan in income to the Noomi royal family every year.

The exchange rate between the Nuoyuan and the British dollar is about ten to one, and the 24 billion Nuoyuan is almost equivalent to 4000 million U.S. dollars.

The Noomi royal family’s industry is not limited to this gold mine and this silver mine. In addition, the finances of the Noomi empire will also hand over 35 million Nuoyuan to the Noomi royal family every year. According to preliminary estimates, the Noomi royal family is now The annual income is at least [-] billion Nuoyuan.

Sure enough, Emperor Edgrew immediately said: "Since the Admiralty has also designed a super dreadnought battleship with a 406mm main gun and a battlecruiser with a 406mm main gun, let the large shipyards immediately expand a batch of five more. With a dock of 36 tons, we will strive to build 36 new super dreadnought battleships and [-] new battlecruisers in one go. The problem of funding will be resolved by the royal family, and the current Noomi royal family is not short of money!"

Prime Minister Julian was completely overwhelmed by the greatness of Emperor Edglu, "Your Majesty, you... you are really going to build another 36 super dreadnought battleships with 406mm main guns and 36 more super dreadnought battleships with 406mm main guns in one go. battlecruiser?"

Emperor Edgrew said indifferently: "I have already seen the design budget of the Ministry of the Navy. The total cost of building 72 giant ships with 406mm main guns is about 24 billion. This is just a royal gold mine." With one year's income from the Royal Silver Mine, in order to build the Noomi Royal Navy into the world's first-class navy, I am willing to pay this money!"

Prime Minister Julian heard the firmness in Emperor Edgrew's words, so he nodded and said: "Your Majesty, I will urge the Ministry of the Navy as soon as possible to build another 72 docks of 36 tons to build 36 new super dreadnoughts." battleships and [-] new battlecruisers."

Emperor Edgrew suddenly asked: "By the way, how is the development of submarine detectors going? I heard that the British Navy has installed submarine detectors on many warships."

The corner of Prime Minister Julian's lips curled up slightly, "Your Majesty, the intelligence department has obtained all the design drawings of the submarine detector of the Inrobal Empire. At present, one of our arsenals has successfully imitated it, and it will be in our Noomi Royal Navy in the near future. This imitation submarine detector is installed on most warships."

The Noomi Empire has not made any progress in the development of submarine detectors, so the intelligence department of the Noomi Empire bought several scientific researchers who developed submarine detectors from the Inroba Empire, and obtained the blueprint of this submarine detector. .

Emperor Edgrew said again: "When it comes to submarine detectors, we have to mention submarines. How is the development of our Noomi Royal Navy's new submarine going?"

Prime Minister Julian immediately said: "Your Majesty, the Admiralty recently designed a new type of submarine with a design displacement of 900 tons on the water surface and 1150 tons underwater. The maximum underwater design speed is 14 knots, the underwater design endurance is 5.5 nautical miles, and the maximum design diving depth is 155 meters. It is equipped with five 533mm torpedo tubes and can carry eighteen torpedoes."

Emperor Edgrew nodded slightly and said: "The data is not bad, let the Ministry of the Navy build a new submarine as soon as possible. If there are no problems in all aspects, start mass production as soon as possible. Even if the navies of all countries are equipped with submarine detectors, Submarines are still an offensive weapon underwater."

Prime Minister Julian agreed and said: "Your Majesty's words are very true. Even with submarine detectors, the submarine cannot be completely restricted. If the submarine sets up an ambush in the sea in advance and turns off the engine, according to the working principle of the submarine detector, it is to detect unsafe of."

Emperor Edgrew suddenly waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about the Royal Navy first. What does the Prime Minister think of the war on the eastern front of the Sharad Empire?"

Prime Minister Julian smiled wryly and said: "Your Majesty, the armies of both sides have now fought a positional battle on the eastern front of the Sharad Empire. If you want to break the positional battle of the Tang Empire Army, I can't think of anything other than fighting for consumption. Method."

"How is the tank developed by the War Department going?"

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of the Army has gathered a group of scientific researchers. Referring to the tanks of the Tang Empire, they have designed a light tank, a medium tank, and a heavy tank. They have also designed two armored vehicles. Currently, the three One tank and two armored vehicles are being tested and improved in various aspects."

Emperor Edgrew's eyes lit up, "The emergence of tanks and armored vehicles is a cross-age for the army. Our Noomi Royal Army has always been ranked first in the world. I don't want this title to be taken by other countries, especially The army of the Tang Empire, so our Noomi Royal Army must be equipped with more advanced tanks and armored vehicles than the Tang Empire, maybe tanks and armored vehicles can become a sharp weapon to crack positional warfare."

"Your Majesty, rest assured that the Ministry of War has recognized the importance of tanks and armored vehicles. As long as the three tanks and two armored vehicles are finalized, our various arsenals in the Noomi Empire will do their best to build these three tanks and two armored vehicles."

"Regarding the development of fighter jets and bombers, have you made any recent progress?"

Prime Minister Julian shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, because there are fighters and bombers of the Tang Empire for comparison, the Ministry of the Army has always been dissatisfied with the design of our new fighter jets of the Noomi Empire. It was rejected by the Ministry of the Army. At present, the Ministry of the Army has transferred hundreds of scientific researchers and is working hard to design fighter jets and bombers with better performance."

Emperor Edgrew frowned slightly, "There is an idiom in the Tang Dynasty called nitpicking. It is during the war. Could it be that the Ministry of War has not been satisfied with the design plan, so we have to let the officers and soldiers of the Noomi Royal Army on the front line, always Was it strafed by fighter jets and indiscriminately bombed by bombers from the Datang Empire?"

When Prime Minister Julian heard this, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I will go to the Ministry of War in a while and ask them to come up with a design plan for a fighter jet and a bomber as soon as possible, and then let various arsenals carry out mass production."

Emperor Edgrew immediately said: "Let the Ministry of the Army manufacture a batch of fighter jets and bombers to support the front line. As for fighter jets and bombers with more advanced performance, the Ministry of the Army can organize scientific research personnel to continue to develop them. Of course I hope that our Royal Noomi Army, with the most advanced fighters and bombers in the world."
