Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 72 The Purple Moon Empire Endured It
Following Su Yi on the platform of the train station, Yan Shishan, the commander of the third division of the Ziyue Empire Royal Army who greeted the second princess Ouyang Qian, saw Ouyang Qian and Su Yi quarreled as soon as they met, secretly said "no" , quickly interjected and said: "His Royal Highness, General Su, I have prepared a banquet at a restaurant in Anbo City, and I invite Her Royal Highness and General Su to honor you."

After discovering that the army troops under Su Yi's command had extremely strong combat effectiveness, the Ziyue Empire's Army Department dispatched the Third Division of the Royal Army, which was transferred from the front line to rest, to Anbo City to continue to rest.

The third division has always been the main division of the Royal Army of the Ziyue Empire. After suffering heavy losses in the battle to defend Ziyue City, the original division of 5 people was left with less than 8000 people. In addition, the third division has now recovered to a scale of 5 people, but the weapons and equipment are a little less. The entire third division only has more than 3000 rifles and more than 60 light and heavy machine guns, and only a dozen artillery pieces. mortar and four infantry guns.

Su Yi then said in a cold voice: "Master Yan, I still have a lot of military affairs waiting for me to deal with. Su will not go to today's banquet. I will invite Master Yan to drink alone some other day!"

Then Su Yi said to the second princess Ouyang Qian: "Your Highness, Second Princess, let me reiterate that it is your Ziyue Empire that is unable to accommodate the tens of thousands of officers and soldiers and their families of the three fleets of the Cangyu Navy. Those who come to rely on me, Su Yi, in this matter, your Ziyue Empire is not qualified to question me, and since the three fleets of the Cangyu Navy have joined the independent fleet, it is absolutely impossible for them to leave the independent fleet."

After finishing speaking, Su Yi waved his hand and led a company of guards to the exit of the platform.

The second princess, Ouyang Qian, had a sullen face and watched Su Yi walk out of the train station without saying a word. She couldn't help but feel a little regretful. You must know that she came to Anbo City to relieve the pressure from the Royal Army of the Ziyue Empire on Su's army. The rift between Su Yi and Su Yi.

However, when the second princess, Ouyang Qian, learned that Su Yi had actually incorporated the three fleets of the Cangyu Navy, she couldn't control her anger. The major newspapers of the Ziyue Empire had long been not far from the three major fleets of the Cangyu Navy. A lot of reports have been made about Wan Lilai's defection to the Ziyue Empire, but now an exciting event has been disturbed by Su Yi.

Yan Shishan, the commander of the third division, hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Highness, the Royal Army needs to rely on the Su family's army on several fronts now, so don't pursue the matter of the three fleets of the Cangyu Navy." .”

The second princess Ouyang Qian took a deep breath, calmed down her emotions, and then said in a deep voice: "Su Yi has gone too far in this matter, we absolutely can't let it go like this, if the three fleets of the Cangyu Navy If you can join our Royal Navy of the Ziyue Empire, then the strength of the Royal Navy can immediately return to the level before the war."

The war between the four eastern countries and the three first-class powers was triggered by the navy of the Orensa Empire, which launched a surprise attack on the two fleets of the Royal Navy of the Ziyue Empire that were participating in sea exercises, causing the Royal Navy of the Ziyue Empire to The two main fleets suffered heavy losses, sinking two dreadnoughts, five pre-dreadnoughts, seven ironclad battleships, eight armored cruisers, thirteen light cruisers, eleven destroyers and 29 torpedo boats, and Many warships were seriously injured. It can be said that in this battle, the strength of the Royal Navy of the Ziyue Empire lost more than one-third.

Yan Shishan smiled wryly and said, "Your Highness, according to the current situation, our Ziyue Empire can only endure Su Yi's annexation of the three fleets of the Cangyu Navy. It is better not to quarrel with Su Yi!"

In the imperial palace of Suisheng City, the accompanying capital of the Ziyue Empire, Empress Ouyang Xue frowned and said to Prime Minister Guo Xian and Minister of War Yuan Lin: "Su Yi is really going too far, the three fleets of the Cangyu Navy have come to join us in Ziyue It belongs to the empire, but now Su Yi cuts it off, if this matter spreads in the country, it will definitely have a big impact on the prestige of our royal family!"

Prime Minister Guo Xian sighed and said: "Your Majesty, there is actually a reason why the three fleets of the Cangyu Navy defected to Su Yi. Feng Lin, the commander of the first fleet of the Cangyu Navy, asked us about their three fleets and tens of thousands of officers and soldiers. Perhaps the arrangement we gave made them dissatisfied, so they took refuge in Su Yi."

Empress Ouyang Xue had known for a long time the Ziyue Imperial Navy's arrangement plan for the three fleets of the Cangyu Navy, and this plan was also approved by Empress Ouyang Xue, then she said with a wry smile: "The empire's finances can't afford much now. I already knew that I should set aside part of the low-interest loan of 5000 million pounds from the British Empire to accommodate the three fleets of the Cangyu Navy."

At this time, Minister of War Yuan Lin said: "Your Majesty, even if our Royal Navy of the Purple Moon Empire takes the three fleets of the Cangyu Navy under its command, our Royal Navy of the Purple Moon Empire is still not the navy of Sharad, Jisk, and Orenza. , any opponent who wants to drive the invaders from the three countries out of our Ziyue Empire can only rely on our Royal Army, so it is absolutely necessary to use the 5000 million yuan low-interest loan to buy the army's weapons and ammunition. The most correct choice."

At the beginning, the Ziyue Empire used a low-interest loan of 5000 million pounds to buy weapons and ammunition from the Yingluoba Empire that could arm nearly 300 million army troops. The ambassador of the Moon Empire to the Yingluoba Empire is the younger brother of the Minister of War, Yuan Lin.

Prime Minister Guo Xian looked at Yuan Lin with veiled eyes, and the corners of his mouth could not help but twitch slightly. Although there was no evidence, Guo Xian believed that the Yuan brothers must have benefited a lot from this military purchase.

Empress Ouyang Xue said sadly: "Prime Minister, Master Yuan, what should we do with Su Yi's acquisition of the three fleets of the Cangyu Navy?"

Prime Minister Guo Xian immediately said helplessly: "Your Majesty, we can only choose to endure this matter. After all, on all fronts, we still have to rely on the Su family army to resist the armies of Sharad, Jisk, and Orenza. We must not create a bigger rift with the Su family army because of this incident."

Minister of War Yuan Lin pondered for a while and said: "Your Majesty, I think the prime minister is justified. Our Ziyue Empire can't afford to deepen the conflict with Su Yi just because of some warships. The most urgent thing now is to let Su Yi send a fleet to take Ying Luo The fleet transporting weapons and ammunition from the Pakistani Empire was escorted to Starfish Port.”

Empress Ouyang Xue asked again: "Then how do we explain to the public? Our domestic newspapers can spare no effort to declare that the three fleets of the Cangyu Navy have surrendered to the Ziyue Empire!"

Prime Minister Guo Xian immediately said: "Your Majesty, we can announce to the outside world that in order to thank General Su Yi for his help to the Ziyue Empire, the Royal Navy of the Ziyue Empire has decided to allocate hundreds of warships of the Cangyu Navy to those under the command of General Su Yi." Fleet, in order to make up for the lack of small and medium-sized warships in the fleet under General Su Yi’s command.”

Empress Ouyang Xue nodded, sighed and said, "Now we have to do this."
