Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 69 The Big Surprise Prepared for Su Yi

On the morning of November 3011th, [-] in the Tang calendar, in the palace of the capital of the Sharad Empire, Fini City, the Emperor Herris of the Sharad Empire asked the Prime Minister Shulik in a deep voice: "At present, our Royal Army of Sharad How many casualties are there in the Purple Moon Empire?"

Prime Minister Shulik sighed and said: "Your Majesty, the total number of casualties has exceeded 55, of which the number of casualties alone has reached 40, and at least half of such a large number of casualties are newcomers in the Ziyue Empire." brought by the Su Family Army that appeared."

Emperor Herris frowned and said: "I didn't expect that Su Yi of the Liuyun Empire not only has a fleet of shocking strength, but also has an army with such a powerful combat effectiveness, even the Cangyu Empire, the Liuyun Empire, and the Ziyue Empire. These three eastern powers are not the opponents of our Sharad Empire, but our Sharad Empire was made ashamed by a small hereditary baron."

Prime Minister Shulik immediately said: "Your Majesty, it seems that we can only increase troops to the territory of the Ziyue Empire. With the current more than one million Royal Army troops in the Ziyue Empire, it is really difficult to defeat the Su Family Army and the Ziyue Empire. Allied Forces."

In the heart of Prime Minister Shulik, the Su Family Army and the Ziyue Empire have been regarded as two forces with equal status. Even Prime Minister Shulik has more scruples about the Su Family Army.

Emperor Herris hesitated for a moment and said: "At present, the troops of our Royal Sharad Army in the Cangyu Empire and the Liuyun Empire still need to monitor these two countries and implement the signed armistice agreement. Army troops, three legions enough?"

Prime Minister Shulik smiled wryly and said: "Your Majesty, it's better to send more. I think it's better to send five legions to try to defeat the Su family army and the Ziyue Empire's allied forces as soon as possible."

"Then follow the Prime Minister's advice and ask the Ministry of War to send five more legions of the Royal Army to the territory of the Ziyue Empire as soon as possible! By the way, where is the Second Expeditionary Fleet of the Sharad Navy?"

"Your Majesty, we have arrived at the sea area of ​​the Ziyue Empire. In about two or three days, we will be able to join the main naval forces of the Gisk Empire and the Orensa Empire."

"Hehe, our Second Expeditionary Fleet of the Sharad Navy has prepared a big surprise for the fleet under Su Yi's command."

In the waters near the Xiguan Islands of the Purple Moon Empire, there is a huge fleet that is slowly sailing from north to south, and this fleet is the Second Expeditionary Fleet of the Sharad Navy.

As for the First Expeditionary Fleet of the Sharad Navy, it has already been defeated by the Independent Fleet in the Yanmen Strait. Therefore, the Second Expeditionary Fleet sent by the Sharad Empire to the waters of the Ziyue Empire this time, preparing to fight the Independent Fleet, also shoulders the responsibility of serving as the second expeditionary fleet. An expeditionary fleet on a mission of revenge.

On the bridge of the Ares, the flagship of the Second Expeditionary Fleet of the Sharad Navy, Captain Rofeye of the Ares said to the commander of the Second Expeditionary Fleet, Genis: "Commander, the Jisk Navy and the Orenza Navy have sent a telegram, In the morning of the day after tomorrow, they will be able to arrive near the Xiguan Islands and join our Second Expeditionary Fleet."

Genesis was once the commander of the First Expeditionary Fleet of the Sharad Navy. After the fiasco of the First Expeditionary Fleet, when Genesis led the Sharad Navy to take over the largest military port of the Cangyu Empire, he caused the Huifeng tragedy that shocked the world.

After the Huifeng tragedy, the emperor of the Sharad Empire, Herris, scolded Genis severely, even kicked him twice, and then removed the position of the Vice Minister of the Navy. .

However, Janice can be said to be the confidant of Emperor Herris. At the time, the first expedition fleet of the Sharad Navy was defeated so badly. If Emperor Herris hadn't supported Johnny, Johnny would have been dismissed and investigated. In addition, Janice is also Sharad In the navy, the general with the most glorious record, of course, was before the naval battle in the Yanmen Strait.

Therefore, despite the huge pressure of public opinion, Emperor Herris still saved Genis, and when forming the second expeditionary fleet of the Sharad Navy, Emperor Herris rejected all opinions and still appointed Genis as the second expeditionary fleet commander.

Genis nodded slightly and said: "This time, the main forces of the three navies of Sharad, Jisk, and Orenza have been gathered. As long as Su Yi's fleet dares to come out of Anbo Port, it will not be able to escape!"

Luo Feiye, the captain of the Ares, said with a smile: "That Su Yi would never have imagined that there are not only five super dreadnought battleships in our Second Expeditionary Fleet, but nine ships, except for the five Ares-class ships. In addition, there are four knight-class ships!"

In order to follow in the footsteps of the Royal Navy of England, the Royal Sharad Navy built eight Ares-class super dreadnought battleships, and then built twelve Knight-class super dreadnought battleships in two batches. The first batch of six Knight-class super dreadnought battleships, originally It is planned to join the Sharad Royal Navy's sequence in mid-December this year.

However, in order to destroy Su Yi's independent fleet and avenge the first expeditionary fleet of the Sharad Navy, under the supervision of Emperor Herris, several shipyards of the Sharad Empire tried their best to build the second expeditionary fleet of the Sharad Navy. Before departure, let four knight-class super dreadnought battleships join the second expeditionary fleet.

The entire Sharad Navy Second Expeditionary Fleet, in addition to five Ares-class super dreadnought battleships and four Knight-class super dreadnought battleships, also has 26 dreadnought battleships, 24 former dreadnought battleships, 36 ironclad battleships, 48 Large armored cruisers, [-] medium armored cruisers, [-] light cruisers, [-] ​​destroyers and [-] torpedo boats.

Among them are four ironclad battleships, four medium-sized armored cruisers, six light cruisers, six destroyers and twenty torpedo boats, which belonged to the fourth and fifth fleets of the original Cangyu Empire Royal Navy.

Although the First Fleet, Second Fleet and Third Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Cangyu Empire escaped from Huifeng Port, the largest military port of the Cangyu Empire, and avoided the fate of being harvested by the Royal Navy of Sharad, but they were not reconciled. The Royal Navy of Sharad finally forcibly looted all the usable warships in the Fourth Fleet and Fifth Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Cangyu Empire.

The Sharad Empire also asked the Cangyu Empire to pay an additional 7000 million taels of silver in the down payment of war reparations to offset the warships that the Cangyu Empire did not pay to the Royal Navy of Sharad.

In addition, in the Second Expeditionary Fleet of the Sharad Navy, there are two former dreadnought battleships, two ironclad battleships, two medium-sized armored cruisers, two light cruisers, four destroyers and ten torpedo boats. Navy warship.

When the Sharad Empire signed an armistice agreement with the Liuyun Empire, because the Liuyun Empire could not compensate Su Yi's independent fleet to the Sharad Empire, the Sharad Empire finally forced the Liuyun Empire to send all the ships of its Royal Navy All warships were compensated to the Sharad Navy.
