Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 269 The Sharad Empire With No Way Out

The Tang Empire took advantage of the Armistice Treaty to plunder a total of about 900 million square kilometers of land from the Jisk Empire and the Orensa Empire, and plundered a total of about 800 million square kilometers of land from the Kingdom of Hesel and the Kingdom of Revelli. Land, so far the land area of ​​the Tang Empire has expanded to about 800 million square kilometers.

The approximately 700 million square kilometers of land seized from the above four countries was divided into 46 provinces, increasing the number of provinces in the Tang Empire from 250 to [-].

Facing the Great Tang Empire spanning the eastern and southern continents, at this time no country would question its status as the number one power in the world, including the only one among the nine-nation military alliance that has not yet signed an armistice with the Great Tang Empire The agreed Sharad empire must also admit that there is a huge gap between them.

On the night of November 3016st, [-] in the Tang calendar, in a study room in the palace of Feni City, the capital of the Sharad Empire, Herris, the emperor of the Sharad Empire, said to Prime Minister Shulik with a lonely expression: "Now the Nine Kingdoms Of the nine countries in the military alliance, only our Sharad Empire has not signed an armistice agreement with the Datang Empire, does the Prime Minister think that the current truce negotiations between the Datang Empire and our Sharad Empire are sincere?"

Although Emperor Herlis had never been soft on the Tang Empire, he knew in his heart what kind of predicament the Sharad Empire would face if the troops of the Tang Empire invaded the territory of the Sharad Empire.

Prime Minister Shulik said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, after many days of negotiations, the Tang Empire is only willing to reduce the war indemnity of 400 billion Tang Yuan to 300 billion Tang Yuan, cede 100 million square kilometers of land and hand over two The Datang Empire has been holding on to the conditions of ten super dreadnought battleships and twenty battlecruisers. Compared with the armistice agreement signed by the Datang Empire, the Inroba Empire and the Noomi Empire, it is obvious that the Datang Empire does not There is not much sincerity in negotiating a truce with our Sharad Empire."

After a pause, Prime Minister Shulik continued: "In addition, according to the information obtained by our Sharad intelligence department, the Tang Empire has gathered more than 4000 million army troops and more than [-] fighters in its western border area. The troops of Pakistan and Noomi withdraw from our Sharad Empire, and the troops of the Tang Empire are likely to attack the eastern border area of ​​our Sharad Empire."

Emperor Herris suddenly said with a ferocious expression: "The two bastard countries, Inroba and Noomi, actually sold our Sharad Empire. The Omi army launched an attack to relieve my hatred."

Prime Minister Shulik hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, at this time, we must not conflict with Yingluoba and Noomi. Otherwise, our Sharad Empire will face the world's three major powers at the same time, and the relationship between countries There are no permanent friends, and there are no permanent enemies. Once our Sharad army fights with the Inaba army and the Noomi army, the two countries may unite with the Tang Empire , then the situation facing our Sharad Empire is an unsolvable situation."

The expression on Emperor Herris's face eased, "I'm just saying something out of anger. Now that the two countries of Yingluoba and Noomi are in the territory of our Sharad Empire, there are almost 700 army troops in total. Wan, under the situation that the army of the Tang Empire will launch an attack on our Sharad Empire at any time, if our Sharad army really fights with the Yingluoba army and the Noomi army, then our Sharad Empire will directly step into the Wanzhang Empire. abyss."

Prime Minister Shulik sighed and said: "Your Majesty, if the Great Tang Empire really launches an attack on our Sharad Empire, it will be a big problem to block the army of the Great Tang Empire just by relying on our own strength. It's a very difficult thing, should you consider the truce conditions proposed by the Tang Empire?"

Emperor Herris said decisively: "I can't accept the three conditions put forward by the Tang Empire now, especially the cession of land, I absolutely can't accept it, even if it is an inch of land, I will not agree to cede to Datang Imperial!"

Prime Minister Shulik shook his head helplessly. In fact, he knew in his heart that according to the character of Emperor Herris, it was absolutely impossible to agree to the three-point armistice conditions currently offered by the Datang Empire. Even Shulik himself thought that Datang The Empire's current three-point truce against the Sharad Empire is too harsh.

If the Sharad Empire accepted the three truce conditions currently offered by the Tang Empire, then the people in the Sharad Empire would definitely be excited, and he would definitely not be able to be the Prime Minister of the cabinet.

Therefore, although Shulik believed rationally that an armistice agreement should be signed with the Tang Empire at all costs, but after hearing the categorical words of Emperor Herris, Shulik did not persuade him any more.

Then Shulik pondered for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, since the war with the Tang Empire is unavoidable, I suggest that we immediately launch the plan of all the people as soldiers. At this time, our Sharad Empire can only use our wealth to fight with the Tang Empire. There is no way out for our Sharad Empire."

Emperor Herris nodded slightly and said: "Now we have 170 infantry divisions in the Royal Sharad Army, and I plan to build another two hundred light infantry divisions with an organization of 5 people. In addition, every city and village must establish civilian armed forces. , the war with the Tang Empire will definitely be a war of attrition. Although the population of the Tang Empire is 54 billion, which is six times the population of our Sharad Empire, as long as our Sharad Empire dares to fight with the Datang Empire , our Sharad Empire still has a chance to win."

The Sharad Empire's all-people-soldier plan will soon be fully launched within the territory of the Sharad Empire.

The Sharad Empire, like the two countries of Yingluoba and Noomi, does not prohibit civilians from owning guns. Therefore, in the homes of ordinary people in the Sharad Empire, they generally have private firearms. This makes the Sharad Empire organize civilian armed forces. It is much more convenient. It is not necessary for the Sharad army to prepare more weapons and ammunition for each branch of civilians. Many people of the Sharad Empire carry their own weapons and ammunition to join the various civilian armies.

This also allowed the Sharad Empire to organize hundreds of millions of civilian armed forces in various cities and villages in a short period of time.

With the passage of time, the situation in the border area adjacent to the Tang Empire and the Sharad Empire became more and more tense, but until the New Year's Eve in 3016 of the Datang Calendar, the army of the Tang Empire did not cross the border between the two countries. , launched an attack on the Sharad Empire.

During the last two months of 3016 in the Great Tang Calendar, the Great Tang Empire has been busy taking over the land ceded by the Jisk Empire, the Orenza Empire, the Hethel Kingdom, and the Revelli Kingdom. According to Su Yi, etc. The battle plan for attacking the Sharad Empire will only be considered after all the captured land of more than 700 million square kilometers is included in the territory of the Tang Empire.

The ten super-dreadnought battleships and ten battlecruisers delivered to the Royal Navy of Datang together by Hessel and Revelli were also handed over to Datang in mid-November of 3016 in the Datang calendar. Royal Navy.

This also made the system reward Su Yi with five Colorado-class super dreadnought battleships, five Nelson-class super dreadnought battleships, and ten Hood-class battlecruisers.

The ten super dreadnought battleships delivered to the Royal Navy of Datang by Hessel and Revelli were transferred to the Seventh Fleet, bringing the number of super dreadnought battleships in the Seventh Fleet to 62 and ten battleships The cruisers were transferred to the Ninth Fleet, increasing the number of battlecruisers in the Ninth Fleet to 48.

The five Colorado-class super dreadnought battleships and five Nelson-class super dreadnought battleships rewarded by the system were transferred to the second fleet, making the second fleet have 21 Colorado-class ships, nineteen Nelson-class ships, and ten Hood-class ships. The battlecruisers were handed over to the First Fleet, increasing the number of Hood-class ships in the First Fleet to 48.

In the early morning of January 3017, [-] in the Tang calendar, Su Yi also got a New Year's gift package from the system, but this year's New Year's gift package only contained a silver treasure chest. Much worse.

After Su Yi opened the silver treasure chest, there was only one low-level booster card inside.

The low-level expansion card can increase the purchase limit of any kind of product in the system mall. It can be doubled at least, and can be increased by five times at most. The low-level expansion cards obtained by Su Yi in the past are all used on biochemicals.

After Su Yi got this low-level booster card, he didn't use it immediately, but kept it temporarily. At present, any products in the system mall, including biochemical humans, are not what Su Yi urgently needs. Keep this low-level booster card in case you need it.

In the new year, Su Yi bought all the fighter planes, tanks and warships available in the system mall, including 109 Messerschmitt Bf88 fighter jets and 2 Junkers-34 Dive bombers, 76 Matilda [-] tanks and [-] T-[-]/[-] tanks were quickly delivered to the Datang Royal Air Force and the Datang Royal Army by Su Yi.

而新从系统商城买到的68艘超级无畏战列舰、92艘战列巡洋舰、48艘重巡洋舰、72艘轻型巡洋舰、280八艘驱逐舰和一百艘潜艇，全部被苏毅暂时储备在了系统的物品仓库之中，没有拿出来马上就交付给大唐皇家海军。

The reason why Su Yi did not hand over these newly purchased warships to the Datang Royal Navy is that the size of the Datang Royal Navy is already very large. The navies of other countries in the world are all added up, and their strength is obviously weaker than that of Datang. Royal Navy.

To maintain such a large navy requires a huge amount of military expenses every month, so if it is not necessary, Su Yi is not going to expand the size of the navy, and even Su Yi is going to let the Royal Navy of the Tang Dynasty Gradually seal up some warships with relatively backward performance.

Early in the morning on January 3017, [-] in the Tang calendar, Su Yi asked He Yunfei, Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Army of the Tang Empire, in a palace in the Imperial Palace of Chang'an City, "Yunfei, what are your preparations for attacking the Sharad Empire?" gone?"

He Yunfei smiled and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, everything has been prepared. At present, the strength of our Royal Army in the western border area has increased to more than 500 million, and there are more than 8000 tanks alone. In addition, the air force is in the western border area. We have also gathered more than [-] fighter planes of various types, and as long as His Majesty gives an order, the torrent of steel from our Tang army will surely sweep across the entire eastern region of the Sharad Empire."

Su Yi nodded slightly, "Our lowest combat goal this time is to capture all the areas east of the Luster Mountains in the Sharad Empire. In this way, our Datang Empire can rely on the Luster Mountains in the future, Stopping the counterattack of the Sharad Empire can also block the forces of other countries in the western continent to the west of the Lester Mountains."

The land area of ​​the Sharad Empire is as high as 900 million square kilometers, and it has forty states. The Luster Mountains almost run through the entire Sharad Empire. To the east of the Luster Mountains, there are fifteen states of the Sharad Empire. It is about 700 million square kilometers. According to Su Yi's plan, he is going to swallow up the 700 million square kilometers of the Sharad Empire in one go.

He Yunfei immediately said: "Even though some of the troops of Yingluoba and Noomi in the Sharad Empire have not been completely withdrawn from the Sharad Empire, the troops of Yingluoba and Noomi have all been withdrawn from the Sharad Empire. Withdrew to the west of the Lester Mountains, the time is ripe for our Datang Empire to attack the Sharad Empire, when will Your Majesty plan to issue an attack order?"

In the last two months of the year 3016 of the Great Tang Calendar, the army of the Great Tang Empire did not launch an attack on the Sharad Empire. Another reason was to wait for the troops of Yingluoba and Noomi to withdraw from the Sharad Empire.

Now that the armistice agreement has been used to force Yingroba and Noomi to give up the ally of the Sharad Empire, the Tang Empire must also give Yingroba and Noomi some time to let them dispatch The troops who had arrived in the territory of the Sharad Empire withdrew.

Su Yi pondered for a while and said: "If the Royal Army and the Royal Air Force are ready, then set the time for the attack on January 5! By the way, the recent actions of the Sharad Empire are not small, not only hastily formed Two hundred light infantry divisions with an establishment of [-] people have also mobilized civilians to organize a huge civilian armed force. It seems that after the offensive is launched, the Royal Army will encounter many tough battles."

He Yunfei nodded and said: "Your Majesty, in the face of the tenacious resistance we may encounter, our Datang Royal Army has been fully prepared, and we are also confident that we will finally complete the vision drawn up by Your Majesty and capture about 700 meters east of the Luster Mountains in the Sharad Empire." [-] million square kilometers of land."
