Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 45 Ten battleship formations

The Sharad Empire did not block the news of the expedition fleet's disastrous defeat in the Yanmen Strait of the Liuyun Empire, and even notified its allies the Jisk Empire and the Orensa Empire immediately.

In the palace of Wendell City, the capital of the Gisk Empire, Maxim, the Prime Minister of the Gisk Empire, held a telegram in his hand, and said to Emperor Lazarik in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, there is news from the Sharad Empire. The expedition fleet on the east coast of the Cloud Empire was defeated by Su Yi's fleet in the Yanmen Strait in the northern waters of the Liuyun Empire. The Sharad Empire Navy suffered heavy losses, and even lost three super dreadnought battleships and five dreadnought battleships. "

Emperor Lazarik frowned and said: "I really didn't expect that the fleet under Su Yi's command was so powerful that even the world's second navy of the Sharad Empire suffered a big loss, but now the main force of the fleet under Su Yi's command , it should not be possible to return to the Kangshan Port of the Skystar Empire in a short time, should the navy of the Gisk Empire seize this opportunity to attack the Kangshan Port?"

Prime Minister Maxim shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, Kangshan Port has a lot of coastal defense artillery. Sending the navy to storm Kangshan Port is not worth the candle. Otherwise, it will hurt the navy again."

"Then how about going to sea to intercept that Su Yi's fleet?"

"Your Majesty, I feel that our Jisk Empire should not focus on that Su Yi at the moment. Even if he has a powerful fleet and sent his army troops to occupy a county of the Skystar Empire, it still has an impact on Su Yi. The overall situation of the war between our Gisk Empire and the Skystar Empire is out of the question. For our Gisk Empire, the most important thing now is to force the Skystar Empire to submit as soon as possible, and turn the Skystar Empire into a source of raw materials and commodity dumping for our Gisk Empire. "

Emperor Lazarik nodded and said: "The prime minister is right. The fact that Kangshan County was occupied by that Su Yi really does not affect the overall situation. The most important thing is to make the Skystar Empire submit to our Jisk Empire as soon as possible."

Su Yi originally planned to use the newly acquired two Queen Elizabeth-class battleships, three Guba-class battleships and three Brunswick-class battleships to surprise the navy of the Gisk Empire. Unfortunately, Su Yi waited and waited. Instead of waiting for the fleet of the Jisk Empire Navy to attack Kangshan Port, they waited for the main force of the expeditionary fleet to come back.

On June 3011, 20 in the Tang Dynasty, a huge fleet slowly sailed into Kangshan Port, and this fleet was the independent fleet returning from victory. Because it needed to tow the injured warship of the Sharad Empire, the independent fleet It took more than [-] days to return to Kangshan Port.

On the pier of Kangshan Port, Wang Chengliang, the commander of the independent fleet who had just disembarked, couldn't wait to ask Su Yi: "Marshal, the battleships at the berth on the east side of the port belong to our independent fleet, right?"

Su Yi nodded with a smile and said: "In addition to the two holy sword-class dreadnought battleships, two gem-class dreadnought battleships, four former dreadnought battleships and two iron-clad battleships of the Jisk Empire that have been repaired, there are eight new ones. battleships, including two super dreadnought battleships, three dreadnought battleships and three former dreadnought battleships, and now these eighteen warships belong to your independent fleet!"

"Haha, that's great! Marshal, when the warships captured by the Sharad Empire's navy are repaired, even if the navy of the Sharad Empire comes in full force, our independent fleet will have the confidence to win the battle!"

The two holy sword-class dreadnought battleships captured by the Jisk Empire were renamed Jixiang and Jiheng by Su Yi, and the two gem-class dreadnought battleships were renamed Jirui and Jichen by Su Yi.

The four former dreadnought battleships captured by the Jisk Empire were renamed Huhui, Huming, Hutai and Huyu by Su Yi, and the two iron-clad battleships were named by Su Yi according to their numbers, and they were respectively renamed Iron Armor One No. [-] and Iron Armor No. [-].

Su Yi decided that the iron-clad battleships captured in the future will be named after this, so this time the independent fleet captured the four iron-clad battleships of the Sharad Empire, and Su Yi directly renamed them Iron-clad No. [-], Iron-clad No. [-], Iron-clad No. [-] and Iron-clad No. [-]. .

The super dreadnought battleship Helios of the Sharad Empire was renamed by Su Yi to Zhanyu, and the super dreadnought battleship Moon Goddess was renamed by Su Yi to Zhanxue.

The three dreadnought battleships captured from the Sharad Empire all had six dual-mounted 45-caliber 305mm main guns, but their models were different. To save trouble, Su Yi directly renamed them Jiying and Jikang And the Ji'an, and the dreadnought battleships captured in the future, Su Yi plans to name them with the word "Ji".

The former dreadnought battleships of the Sharad Empire were seized, each with four 35 mm main guns of 305 times the caliber, and the full-load displacement exceeded [-] tons. They were renamed Huqian, Huyou and Huguan by Su Yi. They were captured later The former dreadnought battleship Su Yi prepared will be named after the word "lake".

The addition of so many new battleships has greatly enhanced the strength of the independent fleet. Su Yi discussed with Wang Chengliang and readjusted the establishment of the independent fleet.

Two Bavarian-class battleships, two Queen Elizabeth-class battleships, and a total of four super dreadnought battleships form the first battleship formation of the independent fleet, referred to as the first battleship.

Two Ise-class battleships, two Iron Duke-class battleships, two battle rains and battle snows captured by the Sharad Empire Navy, a total of six super dreadnought battleships were organized into the second battleship.

Two Giant-class battleships and two King-class battleships were organized into the third battleship, and three Earl of Cavour-class battleships and three Guba-class battleships were organized into the fourth battleship.

The seven dreadnought battleships named after the word "ji" were organized into the fifth battleship, and the four lion-class battlecruisers were organized into the sixth battleship.

The five Edward VII-class battleships were organized into the Seventh Battleship, and the four Lord Nelson-class battleships and three Brunswick-class battleships were organized into the Eighth Battleship.

The seven former dreadnought battleships named after the word "Lake" were organized into the ninth battleship, and the six ironclad battleships were compiled into the tenth battleship.

Although the battleships of the Independent Fleet were organized into ten battleship formations, the capture of the twelve battleships of the Sharad Empire had to first enter the shipyard in Kangshan Port for overhaul.

Su Yi said with a smile to Wang Chengliang, commander of the Independent Fleet: "Unfortunately, the number of small warships in our Independent Fleet is too small. Otherwise, the Independent Fleet will replace the Sharad Empire Navy and become the world's second navy without any problem."

Wang Chengliang nodded and said: "Marshal, we must add more small warships. If there were not too few small warships in this naval battle, we would not have been sunk by two battleships."

Su Yi shrugged and said, "There is no other way for the time being, but next year the Independent Fleet can add at least 36 light cruisers and [-] destroyers."
