Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 238 7000 Million Army and [-] Fighters

The British Empire has been rich in gold and diamonds since ancient times, and the royal family of the British Empire has many gold and diamond mining areas. Over the years, the royal family of the British Empire has become the richest royal family in the world. , Of course, this was before the establishment of the Tang Empire.

At present, the royal family of the Tang Empire has been recognized as the richest royal family by all countries in the world. After all, Su Yi has built the world's largest army, navy and air force with his own financial resources alone, and the vast majority of the Tang Empire's finances They have all invested in the construction of people's livelihood.

Now even the wealthy Yingluoba royal family feels a bit overwhelmed by the naval arms race. It can be seen how fierce the naval arms race among the world's major powers is now.

On the morning of September 3015th, 36 in the Tang Dynasty, in the palace of Kai City, the capital of the Noomi Empire, Prime Minister Julian reported to Emperor Edgar with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, just yesterday In the morning of the same day, the last twelve Misty-class super dreadnought battleships and twelve Quick Horse-class battlecruisers also joined our Noomi Royal Navy. So far, 36 Misty-class ships and [-] Fast Horse-class ships have joined our Noomi The sequence of the Omi Royal Navy."

The Noomi Navy lost a lot in the war with the Tang Empire. When the war ended, the Noomi Navy’s capital ships only had 27 super dreadnought battleships, 356 battlecruisers, Ten dreadnought battleships, thirteen pre-dreadnought battleships and [-] ironclad battleships, this is the situation in the Noomi Navy's late war, with multiple ocean-class super dreadnought battleships and fighter-class battlecruisers with [-]mm main guns in service Down.

Today, 36 Mist-class super dreadnought battleships with 381mm main guns and 36 fast horse-class battlecruisers with 381mm main guns have also joined the Noomi Navy, making the Noomi Navy have another 52 super dreadnought battleships. The dreadnought battleship and fifty battlecruisers even temporarily surpassed the Yingluoba Navy in terms of the number of these two capital ships.

Emperor Edgrew sighed and said: "Unfortunately, according to information from the intelligence department, the Inaba Navy will have ten Bravery-class super dreadnought battleships and ten Pursuit-class battlecruisers in service next month. Our Noah The slight advantage formed by the Mi Navy over the Yingluoba Navy will disappear again. When will the 36 Tengyun-class super dreadnought battleships and 36 Haima-class battlecruisers being built by our Noomi Navy be ready to serve? "

In order to strengthen the Noomi Navy, Emperor Edgrew spared no effort. He actually let the Noomi Navy build 72 super dreadnought battleships and 72 battlecruisers. At present, 36 Misty-class ships and 36 Fast Horse-class ships have been completed. All have entered service, and 406 Tengyun-class and 36 Haima-class ships with 36mm main guns are still under construction.

Prime Minister Julian immediately said: "Your Majesty, about February next year, eighteen Tengyun-class super dreadnought battleships and eighteen Seahorse-class battlecruisers will join our Noomi Royal Navy. The [-] Tengyun-class and [-] Haima-class ships will also be completed in June next year."

Emperor Edgrew shook his head helplessly and said: "By June next year, all the super dreadnought battleships and battlecruisers under construction in the Inroba Navy will be completed, and the Inroba Navy will also have 97 ships. There are super dreadnought battleships and 88 battlecruisers, while our Noomi Royal Navy has only 86 super dreadnought battleships and [-] battlecruisers, there is still a big gap compared with the Inaba Navy."

Prime Minister Julian hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, although our Noomi Empire and the Yingluoba Empire have many conflicts, the biggest enemy of our Noomi Empire should be the Datang Empire. After the end of the last war, the Great Tang Empire The empire has developed rapidly, and now in terms of economy and industry, it has even faintly surpassed our Noomi Empire, and has formed a neck-and-neck relationship with the Yingluoba Empire. If the Datang Empire is not suppressed, then our Noomi Empire and other A country dominated by white people will be a disaster!"

Emperor Edgrew said with a wry smile: "According to the information obtained by our intelligence department, the seven main fleets of the Datang Navy now have 260 super dreadnought battleships, 240 five battlecruisers and [-] dreadnoughts. Battleships, with such strength, are no longer something our Noomi Empire can provoke."

Prime Minister Julian immediately said: "Your Majesty, it is precisely because the Great Tang Empire is so powerful that it should be suppressed, and even dismembered through a war. Once the Great Tang Empire is allowed to continue to develop, Maybe all the white countries will suffer. Facing the threat of the Tang Empire, the Jisk Empire and the Orenza Empire have formed a military alliance a few months ago, and have sent invitations to other countries in the original seven-nation alliance. The Roba Empire seems to be very interested in this military alliance."

Emperor Edgrew pondered for a moment and said: "If the seven-nation alliance can be reorganized, the combined navy of the seven countries will be able to surpass the Datang navy by a lot, but that is only the strength on paper. The last war In the naval battle that determined the dominance of the sea, our Noomi Royal Navy, the Inroba Navy, the Sharad Navy, the Monia Navy, and the Rielland Navy formed a combined fleet. The result ended in the disastrous defeat of the joint fleet of our five navies, and don’t forget that the Tang Empire also has a more powerful army and air force.”

Although Emperor Edgrew hated the Great Tang Empire in his heart, but through the last war, Emperor Edgrew inevitably had some fear of the Great Tang Empire, of which the navy was only one aspect, the Great Tang Empire The powerful army and air force made Emperor Edgrew very afraid.

The army of the Great Tang Empire was at its peak, that is, just after the Great Tang Empire merged the Ziyue Empire. The entire Royal Army of the Great Tang Empire had ten guard infantry divisions, three armored divisions, 250 field infantry divisions, With a huge establishment of 170 temporary infantry divisions and 1000 nine independent infantry brigades, the total strength exceeded [-] million.

However, after the Ziyue Empire merged into the Datang Empire, Su Yi reduced the establishment of 860 temporary infantry divisions, reducing the total strength of the Royal Army of the Datang Empire to more than [-] million.

After the war with the Seven Nations Alliance ended, Su Yi made some adjustments to the establishment of the Royal Army of the Tang Empire.

As of the beginning of September in the year 3015 of the Tang Dynasty, the Imperial Army of the Great Tang Empire had a total of ten Guards Divisions, 24 Armored Divisions, [-] Field Divisions, and [-] Garrison Divisions.

Among them, the Guards Division and the Field Division have the same establishment. There are three infantry brigades, three heavy artillery regiments under the division, a logistics transportation brigade, a guard regiment, an engineering regiment and a division headquarters. The total strength is about 8. .

Each armored division is equipped with more than 2 tanks, including not only the more advanced Matilda 17 tanks, but also the slightly backward Renault FT-2 light tanks and [-]C heavy tanks, as well as the Tang Empire self-propelled tanks. Design and production of the Black Wolf tank and Black Tiger tank.

The Black Wolf tank is a medium-sized tank with a total combat weight of 33 tons, a maximum speed of 40 kilometers per hour, and a crew of 5 people. It is equipped with a 70mm tank gun with 75 rounds, a 7.92mm parallel machine gun and a The anti-aircraft machine gun with a caliber of 7.92 mm has 3000 rounds of bullets, the thickness of the front armor of the car body is 55 mm, and the thickness of the front armor of the turret is 70 mm.

The Black Tiger tank is a heavy tank with a total combat weight of 55 tons, a maximum speed of 32 kilometers per hour, and a crew of 5. It is equipped with an 88mm tank gun with 85 rounds, two 7.92mm parallel machine guns and a The anti-aircraft machine gun with a caliber of 7.92 mm has 5800 rounds of bullets, the thickness of the front armor of the car body is 90 mm, and the thickness of the front armor of the turret is 100 mm.

In fact, the Tang Empire was able to design and produce the Black Wolf Tank and the Black Tiger Tank thanks to the dozens of tank design drawings that Su Yi brought back from the world of the Han Kingdom, including the tank diesel engine. Design drawings.

The Black Wolf tank and the Black Tiger tank are much more advanced than the Renault FT-17 light tank, 2C heavy tank, and even the Matilda 2 tank that Su Yi bought from the system mall. The Tiger tank was put into production not long ago, so the 24 armored divisions under the Imperial Army of the Tang Dynasty still equipped Renault FT-17 light tanks, 2C heavy tanks and Matilda 2 tanks as the main tanks. In addition to the tanks that Su Yi bought from the system mall, the arsenal of the Tang Empire also imitated many tanks.

The armored division is also equipped with a large number of armored vehicles, trucks, motorcycles, carriages, anti-aircraft guns, and howitzers. The total strength of the entire armored division is about 5.

The number of garrison divisions is the same as that of armored divisions. It consists of two infantry brigades, a division heavy artillery regiment, a logistics transportation brigade, a guard regiment, an engineering regiment and a division headquarters.

After adjusting the establishment of the Royal Army of the Great Tang Empire, the total strength has dropped to 7000 million. However, in addition to the 34 regular divisions mentioned above, the Royal Army of the Great Tang Empire also has hundreds of millions of reserve personnel. If a war breaks out, one Within a month, the total strength of the Royal Army of the Great Tang Empire could exceed [-] million, and within half a year, the total strength of the Royal Army of the Great Tang Empire could even reach [-] million.

At present, the main fighters of the Royal Air Force of the Datang Empire are composed of Messerschmitt Bf109 fighter jets and Junker-88 dive bombers, but Fokker D.VII fighter jets, Camel fighter jets and Ilya Muromets heavy bombers are also equipped A lot, although the performance of the latter three fighters is much worse than the performance of the first two fighters, the latter three fighters are not far behind the fighters of Yingluoba, Sharad, Noomi and other countries, and In some aspects, it still has certain advantages.

The five types of fighters equipped by the Royal Air Force of the Datang Empire have been able to be imitated by the aircraft manufacturers of the Datang Empire, making the total number of these five types of fighters of the Royal Air Force of the Datang Empire exceed [-], which is well-deserved. First Air Force.

Compared with the Tang Empire, the Noomi Empire was at a great disadvantage in terms of sea, land and air forces, so in Emperor Edglo's heart, he felt that the Noomi Empire could no longer offend the Tang Empire.

When Prime Minister Julian heard the words of Emperor Edgrew, there was a deep fear of the Tang Empire, and he couldn't help frowning slightly. Prime Minister Julian has always been a supporter of "white supremacy". Like many white people, it is difficult to accept emotionally. Julian himself very much hopes that the seven-nation alliance can be reorganized and the Tang Empire, which disrupted the world order, will be wiped out.

Prime Minister Julian hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, although the military strength of the Tang Empire is very strong, as long as the seven countries of the original seven-nation alliance unite again, the chances of winning are still very high. The reason why the last war was defeated The main reason is that our seven countries looked down on the Datang Empire, and hastily launched a decisive battle at sea with the Datang Navy, thus causing the seven-nation alliance to lose its sea dominance."

After a pause, Prime Minister Julian continued: "Your Majesty, if the Tang Empire cannot be dealt with first, then it is impossible for our Noomi Empire to avenge the Yingroba Empire and the Sharad Empire. Reap the benefits of the fisherman."

The last few words of Prime Minister Julian moved Emperor Edgrew. He sighed and said: "I have always wanted to take the Inrobba Empire and the Sharad Empire from our Noomi Empire more than 100 years ago. If the land of 1000 million square kilometers is taken back, if the Tang Empire is watching, our Noomi Empire would not dare to provoke a war with the Inroba Empire or the Sharad Empire. It seems that our Noomi Empire has to support it The seven nations are reorganized!"

Prime Minister Julian breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the seven countries in the original seven-nation alliance are now vigorously developing their navies. If the seven-nation alliance can be successfully reorganized, as long as the sea control is not lost, the Tang Empire will eventually Defeated by our seven nations!"

Emperor Edgrew then suddenly asked: "By the way, Prime Minister, what about the super dreadnought battleships and battlecruisers designed by the Admiralty with a main gun caliber of 432 mm?"

Prime Minister Julian immediately said: "Your Majesty, the Admiralty has designed a super dreadnought battleship with a main gun caliber of 432mm and a battlecruiser with a main gun caliber of 432mm, which are called Ice-class and Flying-Class respectively. The horse class and the ice class have five 432mm main guns, with a standard displacement of 48900 tons, a full load displacement of 55000 tons, a maximum speed of 20 knots, and a cost of about 400 million yuan per ship. The Pegasus class has four 432mm main guns , with a standard displacement of 51000 tons, a full-load displacement of 55800 tons, a maximum speed of 25.5 knots, and a cost of about 100 million yuan per ship."
