Chapter 231 Declare war first (third update)
On the evening of April 1671th, [-] in the Han calendar, in the meeting hall of the King’s Palace of the Han Dynasty, Chen Pu, the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, reported to King Liu De in a deep voice: “Your Majesty, the note sent by the Gothic Kingdom requests that our Kingdom of the Han Dynasty Take full responsibility for the shooting down of the two Gothic Air Force fighters, hand over the pilot of the fighter of our Dahan Air Force, compensate the Gothic Kingdom for [-] fourth-generation fighter jets of our Dahan Air Force, and compensate the four pilots of the Gothic Air Force A pension of [-] million Gothic coins, otherwise the Gothic Kingdom will take all means to retaliate, including war!"

The words of the cabinet prime minister Chen Pu not only made the king Liu De grit his teeth, but also made the cabinet deputy prime minister Qian Jianrong, the commander-in-chief of the National Defense Forces Sun Mingwu, and the chief of the general staff of the National Defense Forces Yang Yuandu all show anger on their faces. This time the air forces of the two sides misfired, which was completely provoked by the Gothic Air Force, but now the Gothic Kingdom has issued a war threat to the Han Kingdom.

Sun Mingwu, the commander-in-chief of the National Defense Forces, immediately said angrily: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, the strength of our National Defense Forces, navy, air and air forces has not been what it used to be, and we are ready to drive the Gothic army out of the territory of our Han Kingdom! The kingdom's provocation, our Dahan Kingdom must not give in!"

In addition to selling 300 fourth-generation fighter jets to the Dahan Air Force and leasing to the Dahan Navy's eight aircraft carrier fleets, Su Yi also provided the Dahan Army with 95 million Type 60 automatic rifles and 88 Type 60 automatic rifles for free. Sniper rifles, 89 Type 300 heavy machine guns, 5.8 billion rounds of 100mm bullets and 12.7 billion rounds of [-]mm bullets have enabled the Dahan Army to surpass the Gothic Army, which is known as the world's number one army, in terms of light weapons and equipment. The performance of this gun exceeds that of the same type of guns of the Gothic Army.

It is precisely because of Su Yi's actions that the cabinet of the Han Kingdom and the National Defense Forces Headquarters willingly awarded Su Yi the rank of admiral of the Han Kingdom, and appointed Su Yi as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Han Navy. The value of the weapons and ammunition that Yi provided to the Dahan Army for free was more than 300 billion Chinese yuan.

King Liu De asked the Prime Minister Chen Pu in a low voice: "Are the four pilots of the Gothic Air Force dead?"

Cabinet Prime Minister Chen Pu nodded and said: "The two fighter jets of the Gothic Air Force finally crashed into the defense zone of our National Defense Forces. Among the wreckage of the two fighter jets, the bodies of four Gothic Air Force pilots were found."

Yang Yuandu, Chief of the General Staff of the National Defense Forces, snorted coldly and said: "The four pilots have to claim a pension of [-] million Gothic coins. Even if the four pilots are made of gold, it is not so expensive! It seems that Gothic This time, the Kingdom intends to deliberately provoke a new war!"

King Liu De took a deep breath and said to the Prime Minister Chen Pu: "Our surrender to the Gothic Kingdom a few years ago was the greatest shame for this king and our Han Kingdom. Now our Han Kingdom has a powerful air force and a powerful navy. , The total strength of the army has also returned to more than 400 million, this king is not going to compromise with the Gothic Kingdom again, prime minister, what do you think?"

Cabinet Prime Minister Chen Pu said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, although I am not as capable as my predecessor, Prime Minister Guo, my backbone is no worse than that of Prime Minister Guo. I will never compromise with the Gothic Kingdom on this matter, even if Even if there is another war with the Gothic Kingdom, it will not hesitate!"

Guo Ziming, the former prime minister of the Great Han Kingdom, had to grit his teeth and choose to surrender to the Gothic Kingdom after the Gothic Army surrounded Tianjing City, the capital of the Great Han Kingdom. However, on the day the Gothic Army entered Tianjing City, Guo Ziming committed suicide by taking poison .

Deputy Prime Minister Qian Jianrong immediately said excitedly: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Chen, I also agree that we will never compromise with the Gothic Kingdom. Now our Han Kingdom has the strength to fight!"

When King Liu De heard the words of the two prime ministers in the cabinet, his face suddenly showed excitement, "This time, let us, the monarchs and ministers, lead the entire Han Kingdom to compete with the Gothic Kingdom again! This time, the king will never do it again Bow down to the Goths!"

Sun Mingwu, the commander-in-chief of the National Defense Forces, said excitedly: "Your Majesty, the two prime ministers, our National Defense Forces can guarantee that the size of the army will be expanded to more than 800 million within one month, and the size of the army will be expanded to 2000 within three months." If the 2000 million army is unable to drive the Gothic army out of the territory of our Han Kingdom, then our national defense force will expand the size of the army to 3000 million, 4000 million, 5000 million, or even [-] million until our Han Kingdom obtains Final victory!"

On the morning of April 1671, 21 in the Han calendar, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Han Kingdom justly refused to be responsible for the two Gothic Air Force fighters shot down. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Han Kingdom declared that the air exchange was entirely caused by The Gothic Kingdom's three fighter jets deliberately provoked it. The Dahan Kingdom's air force is a self-defense counterattack. The Dahan Kingdom hopes that the Gothic Kingdom will find out the truth and not re-provoke the war between the Dahan Kingdom and the Gothic Kingdom.

The tough speech of the Han Kingdom's Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately caused an uproar all over the world, and the Gothic Kingdom immediately dispatched ten aircraft carrier formations and 30 army troops to the coast of the Han Kingdom.

After seeing the statement made by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Han Kingdom, Su Yi felt very relieved. Su Yi and the eldest princess Liu Lingwei flew back to Tianjing City on the afternoon of April 21st.

After Su Yi met King Liu De, Prime Minister Chen Pu, Deputy Prime Minister Qian Jianrong, Commander-in-Chief Sun Mingwu, and Chief of Staff Yang Yuandu of the National Defense Forces in the palace of the Han Kingdom, he immediately suggested to the five people: "Since war is inevitable, , I think it should be pre-emptive, and strive to defeat the Gothic Kingdom's three aircraft carrier formations, one air force division and 25 troops stationed in our Dahan Kingdom before the reinforcements of the Gothic army arrive!"

Sun Mingwu, commander-in-chief of the National Defense Forces, frowned and said: "But our army has not yet assembled, and it will take at least three or four days, and the ten aircraft carrier formations of the Goths and the 30 army will arrive at our Dahan in about a week." the coast of the kingdom."

Su Yi immediately said: "You don't need to wait for all the army units to gather in place. The protagonists of this war are the air force and navy. Now the eight aircraft carrier fleets of our Dahan Navy and our Dahan Air Force already have a certain combat effectiveness. As long as the cabinet and the National Defense Forces Headquarters It will not be a problem to issue an order to regain the air and sea control of our Han Kingdom, as long as we defeat the Gothic army stationed in our Han Kingdom, it will not be so easy for the Gothic army to set foot on the territory of our Han Kingdom again!"

King Liu De asked Su Yi in a deep voice: "Xiao Yi, are you really confident to defeat the three aircraft carrier formations of the Gothic Navy?"

Su Yi smiled slightly and said, "Father, don't worry, with the eight aircraft carrier fleets of our Dahan Navy, it is enough to eat the three aircraft carrier formations stationed in Lanshan Port of the Gothic Navy."

At the beginning of this month, Su Yi had held an engagement ceremony with the eldest princess Liu Lingwei, so Su Yi changed his name to King Liu De as his father.

The Prime Minister Chen Pu gritted his teeth and said, "I think what Admiral Su said makes sense. Since war is inevitable, why don't our Kingdom of Han preemptively strike!"

Su Yi's suggestion was quickly unanimously agreed by the top military and political officials of the Han Kingdom. That night, Su Yi took a plane and returned to Huangling Port. At this time, the eight aircraft carrier fleets of the Han Navy were all gathered in Huangling Port.

When Su Yi got off the plane, it was already past one o'clock in the morning the next day. Unexpectedly, Xu Yadong, Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, and Chen Yu, Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force, had been waiting for Su Yi at the military airport near Huangling Port.

In order to coordinate the operations of the Navy and the Air Force, Chen Yu, Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force, came to Huangling Port yesterday.

Seeing two elderly men in their 60s waiting for him at the airport, Su Yi couldn't help smiling bitterly and said, "Marshal Xu and Marshal Chen, it's so late, why haven't you rested yet?"

Commander-in-Chief Xu Yadong asked eagerly, "How did the cabinet decide?"

Su Yi said with a smile: "The cabinet has agreed to our navy and air force's preemptive strike plan."

Xu Yadong, Commander-in-Chief of the Navy and Chen Yu, Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force, couldn't help showing excitement when they heard this. Chen Yu immediately asked, "Xiao Yi, what about the time?"

Su Yi replied: "The cabinet decided that the time will be determined by our navy and air force. However, within a week, the Goths' ten aircraft carrier formations and 30 troops will arrive at the coast of our Han Kingdom, so our navy and air force We must completely seize air and sea supremacy within a week!"

Xu Yadong, the commander-in-chief of the Navy, waved his hand at this moment, "Let's go! Let's go back to the Navy Command and discuss carefully when to do it. This time, I want to avenge the tens of thousands of naval officers and soldiers who died a few years ago!"

Su Yi, Xu Yadong, and Chen Yu all thought that the sooner they started the better, so at four o'clock in the morning on April 22, a confidential telegram was sent to the Chancellor's Mansion in Tianjing City.

At eight o'clock in the morning on April 1671, 22 in the Han calendar, the ambassador of the Han Kingdom to Olia, the capital of the Gothic Kingdom, submitted a declaration of war to the Prime Minister's Office of the Gothic Kingdom.

Faced with the sudden declaration of war by the Han Kingdom, the military and political senior officials of the Gothic Kingdom were shocked, but also very angry. After all, in the eyes of the Han Kingdom's military and political senior officials, the Han Kingdom was only a third-rate country, and they dared to submit to the Han Kingdom first. The Gothic Kingdom, the most powerful country in the world, has declared war. This is a contempt for the Gothic Kingdom. Many high-level military and political leaders of the Gothic Kingdom are clamoring to teach the Han Kingdom a lesson.

At 22:[-] am on April [-], the ambassador of the Gothic Kingdom in Tianjing City also sent the declaration of war to the Chancellor's Mansion of the Han Kingdom. So far, the Han Kingdom and the Gothic Kingdom entered the war again.
