Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 54 The Orensa Empire in the quagmire of war
With a sound of "Boom," Modest, the emperor of the Orenza Empire, slapped the table hard, immediately quieting down the noisy ministers and generals in the hall.

"This is my palace, not a vegetable market. If you have any suggestions, tell them one by one!" Emperor Modest said to the ministers and generals with sharp eyes.

At this time, the Prime Minister of the Orenza Empire, Niki Fore, came out and said: "Your Majesty, calm down, I think that our Royal Navy of the Orenza Empire should not start a decisive battle with the fleet under the baron of the Liuyun Empire. Many months ago, even the world's second largest navy, the Sharad Empire, was defeated by this baron fleet. With the strength of our Royal Navy of the Orenza Empire, it is very difficult to win this decisive battle at sea."

As soon as Prime Minister Nikifor's words fell, Mihailo, the Minister of the Navy of the Orenza Empire, came out and said: "Your Majesty, with the four newly commissioned dreadnought battleships, our Royal Navy of Orenza already has eighteen Dreadnought battleships, plus 25 former dreadnought battleships and [-] ironclad battleships, the number of capital ships of our Orenza Royal Navy has reached [-], and I am confident to defeat the baron fleet of the Liuyun Empire!"

Prime Minister Nikifor frowned and said: "Marquis Mikhailo, plus the two Ares-class battleships captured by the Sharad Navy, the Baron fleet has at least eight super dreadnought battleships and four new battlecruisers. , Why do you have the confidence to defeat this baron fleet?"

Mikhailo then said loudly: "Prime Minister, haven't you heard that ants kill elephants? As far as I know, that baron fleet has a fatal flaw, that is, it lacks auxiliary small and medium-sized warships. In a decisive battle at sea, our Orenza Royal Navy can use a large number of battleships to contain the opponent's capital ship formation, and then let hundreds of light cruisers, destroyers and torpedo boats launch torpedo attacks on its capital ship."

Prime Minister Nikifor curled his lips and said: "Marquis Mihailo, according to your plan, even if our Orenza Royal Navy defeats the baron fleet, the entire Orenza Royal Navy must not have much strength left. , then who will protect the ten-thousand-mile sea frontier of our Orensa Empire in the future!"

"Prime Minister, don't worry, even if there is only one torpedo boat left in the Orenza Royal Navy, it will still be able to defend the thousands of miles of sea territory of our Orenza Empire!"

"Marquis Mikhailo, I'm trying to reason with you, it's meaningless if you argue with me!"

Emperor Modest saw the Prime Minister Nikifor and the Minister of the Navy Mihailo quarreling, he couldn't help but shook his head helplessly. The two of them had a grudge because of the navy's military expenditure before, and ten court meetings , the two would quarrel nine times.

"Prime Minister, Mikhailo, can't you speak calmly? Why do you have to quarrel every time? Don't you really think my palace is a vegetable market!" Emperor Modest's face darkened.

Prime Minister Nikifor and Navy Minister Mikhailo heard that Emperor Modest was a little angry, and hurriedly pleaded guilty to Emperor Modest.

Emperor Modest is already used to the quarrel between Prime Minister Niki Fore and Navy Minister Mikhailo. Today, if it is not because Su Yi is about to lead his fleet to the Purple Moon Empire, Emperor Modest will be in a bad mood , he won't care about it, but is happy to see it succeed.

If all the important court officials were friendly, Emperor Modest would be a little worried.

Then Emperor Modest asked Deputy Prime Minister Sisoy: "Deputy Prime Minister, what do you think about the baron fleet of the Liuyun Empire?"

Deputy Prime Minister Sisoy came out and said: "I feel that our Orenza Royal Navy should not be responsible for dealing with the baron fleet of the Liuyun Empire. Since the navies of the Sharad Empire and the Jisk Empire are all in this The Baron Fleet has suffered a lot. Our Orenza Empire can completely unite the navies of these two countries to deal with this Baron Fleet. What's more, the Sharad Empire and the Jisk Empire are still allies with our Orenza Empire. They also have Obligate to help our Orensa Empire and destroy this baron fleet!"

Emperor Modest said with some hesitation: "At the beginning, there was an agreement between our Orenza Empire, the Sharad Empire, and the Jisk Empire. The Purple Moon Empire will become the sphere of influence of our Orenza Empire. With the participation of the Sharad Empire and the Jisk Empire, these two countries are bound to carve up some of the benefits of the Ziyue Empire from our Orensa Empire."

Deputy Prime Minister Sisoy said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, judging from the current battlefield situation, it is still far away for the Orensa Empire to force the Ziyue Empire to submit, so I suggest that not only the Sharad Empire and Jisk The empire's navy is brought in, and it is best to let the armies of the two countries join the Ziyue Empire's battlefield, our Orenza Empire is already a bit exhausted."

The words of Deputy Prime Minister Sisoy made many ministers and generals in the hall nod, including Prime Minister Nikifor and Minister of the Navy Mikhailo, and even what Emperor Modest said to Deputy Prime Minister Sisoy , also deeply agree.

At the beginning of the war, because it was an undeclared war, facing the unprepared Ziyue Empire, the Orenza Empire only took three days to wipe out more than 80 army troops of the Ziyue Empire, and severely damaged the Ziyue Empire. The two main fleets of the Imperial Navy.

Three months into the war, the Orenza Empire had occupied more than 200 million square kilometers of the Ziyue Empire's land, and wiped out more than 250 million Ziyue Empire's army, and even the Orenza Empire's army had reached The capital of the Ziyue Empire is about to force the Ziyue Empire to submit.

However, what the Orensa Empire never expected was that the emperor and the royal family of the Ziyue Empire were so tough that they would not surrender even if they died in battle. As a result, the emperor and five princes of the Ziyue Empire were all killed in the capital Ziyue City, but the resistance of the Ziyue Empire army in the capital Ziyue City is still not over. At present, the Orenza Empire has lost nearly 50 people in Ziyue City alone.

The Olenza Imperial Army's attacking troops in several other directions also encountered stubborn resistance from the Ziyue Imperial Army. After a month of fierce fighting, the Olenza Imperial Army's offensive troops in a certain direction did not even move forward. to five kilometers.

After the new empress of the Ziyue Empire came to the throne, the resistance of the Ziyue Empire against the Orensa Empire army has increased a lot. The guerrillas continued to harass the logistical supply lines of the Orenza Imperial Army.

It can be said that the Orenza Empire has been trapped in the war quagmire of the Ziyue Empire, making it a bit of a dilemma.
