Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 73

On November 3011, [-] in the Tang calendar, in the waters near the Xiguan Islands of the Ziyue Empire, the fleets of the Sharad, Jisk, and Orenza navies have been cruising here for several days after their confluence.

On the bridge of the flagship Ares of the Second Expeditionary Fleet of the Sharad Navy, Genis, the commander of the Second Expeditionary Fleet of the Sharad Navy, spoke to Gorjay, the Deputy Minister of the Navy Department of the Gisk Empire, and Miha, the Minister of the Navy of the Orenza Empire. Yi Luo said: "It seems that the baron is not going to send his fleet to meet the fleet of the Inroba Empire delivering weapons and ammunition."

Today, the combined fleet of the three navies of Sharad, Jisk, and Orenza has discovered the traces of the transport fleet of the British Empire, and used the war zone as an excuse to prevent the transport fleet of the British Empire from continuing to the Ziyue Empire. The West Coast is close.

Gorjay, the vice minister of the Navy Department of the Gisk Empire, immediately asked: "General Genis, what suggestion do you have?"

Janice pondered for a moment and said, "I feel that with the strength of our combined fleet of the three navies, we can attack the door and completely wipe out that Baron's fleet!"

Mihailo, Minister of the Navy of the Orenza Empire, nodded at this time and said: "I think it is possible. Our three navies together have nine super dreadnought battleships, 44 dreadnought battleships, 38 former dreadnought battleships, and 58 ironclad battleships. , and hundreds of other types of warships, this kind of strength is enough to eat up the fleet under Su Yi's command!"

Gorjay, the deputy minister of the Navy Department of the Jisk Empire, thought about it and agreed: "The fleet under Su Yi's command is now huddled in the Anbo Port of the Ziyue Empire. If the combined fleet of our three navies arrives outside the Anbo Port, Su Yi will The fleet under his command must be allowed to come out to fight, otherwise the coastal defense artillery of Anbo Port alone is not enough to block the combined fleet of our three navies. Naval guns, destroying his fleet in the harbor."

Hearing that the commanders of the navies of the other two countries agreed with his plan, Johnny couldn't help laughing and said, "Then let us create a new record in the history of the world navy!"

It is foreseeable that this sea battle between the combined fleet of the three navies of Sharad, Jisk, and Orensa and the independent fleet under Su Yi's command will be the largest naval battle in the history of mankind in this world.

In order to continue to prevent the transport fleet of the Yingluoba Empire from approaching the west coast of the Purple Moon Empire, the Second Expeditionary Fleet of the Sharad Navy left behind four dreadnought battleships, four former dreadnought battleships, four large armored cruisers, and four Medium-sized armored cruisers, four light cruisers, and eight destroyers formed a squadron and continued to cruise in the waters near the Xiguan Islands of the Purple Moon Empire.

The main force of the Second Expeditionary Fleet of the Sharad Navy, together with the navies of Jisk and Orenza, went straight to Anbo Port where the independent fleet was located.

When the combined fleet of the three navies of Sharad, Jisk, and Orenza rushed to Anbo Port, there was a large-scale fleet about [-] nautical miles northwest of the Xiguan Islands of the Ziyue Empire. The fleet is the transportation fleet that the Yingluoba Empire transported the weapons and ammunition for the Ziyue Empire.

Among the transport fleet of the British Empire, in addition to more than 40 transport ships, there are more than a dozen warships of the Royal Navy of the British Empire, the largest of which is the Royal Navy of the British Empire. Naval large armored cruiser Boxer.

The Boxer is the latest large armored cruiser of the Royal Navy of the British Empire. It is equipped with eight 203mm main guns, has a full load displacement of 13200 tons, and has a maximum speed of 24 knots.

On the afternoon of November 177th, on the bridge of the Boxer, First Officer Roman said to Captain Samson: "Destroyer No. 20 sent a telegram and found the main forces of the three navies of Sharad, Jisk, and Orenza. , has left the surroundings of the Xiguan Islands, and there are only more than [-] warships of the Sharad Navy left near the Xiguan Islands at this time, but among them are four dreadnought battleships and four former dreadnought battleships."

Captain Samson shook his head and said: "Our mission this time is only to escort more than 40 transport ships. Only a dozen of our warships will be dispatched, and even if the Sharad Navy leaves only one torpedo boat near the Xiguan Islands, we will not advance any further."

Chief Officer Roman said immediately: "I think the main forces of the three navies of Sharad, Jisk, and Orensa probably rushed to Anbo Port of the Ziyue Empire to fight a decisive battle with the baron fleet of the Liuyun Empire. "

Captain Samson nodded and said: "The navies of Sharad, Jisk, and Orensa blocked our transport fleet here just to lure the baron fleet from the Liuyun Empire. Now the baron fleet The fleet is not fooled, and the navies of Sharad, Jisk, and Orenza should have come to the door."

First Officer Roman hesitated for a moment and asked: "Captain, do you need to report the situation near Xiguan Islands to the Ziyue Empire? The navy of the Ziyue Empire still has good strength. If the navy of the Ziyue Empire can defeat The Shararad Navy is staying in the squadron near the Xiguan Islands, then we can transport this batch of weapons and ammunition to the Starfish Port of the Purple Moon Empire."

Captain Samson shrugged and said, "Then send a telegram to the Ziyue Empire. I hope the navy of the Ziyue Empire will have the courage to come to Xiguan Islands."

Liu Yongcheng, Minister of the Navy of the Ziyue Empire at Starfish Port, immediately summoned the four commanders of the four major fleets of the Royal Navy of the Ziyue Empire after receiving a telegram from the transport fleet of the Yingluoba Empire to discuss the main forces of the Royal Navy of the Ziyue Empire. Whether to attack the Xiguan Islands.

Huang Tai'an, commander of the First Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Ziyue Empire, immediately suggested to Liu Yongcheng: "My lord, although the main forces of the three navies of Sharad, Jisk, and Orensa have left the Xiguan Islands, the Sharad navy is still here. We have ordered more than 20 warships, not to mention four dreadnought battleships and four former dreadnought battleships, so I suggest that the four major fleets of the Royal Navy continue to stay in Starfish Port to wait and see, first take a look at Sharad, Jisk, Oren Let’s talk about the final outcome of the Naval Forces of the Three Kingdoms and Su Yi’s fleet.”

Zhou Quan, commander of the Second Fleet, then said to Liu Yongcheng: "My lord, our four fleets now add up to four dreadnought battleships, seven former dreadnought battleships, eleven ironclad battleships, eight armored cruisers, and 21 light cruisers. , 27 destroyers and 47 torpedo boats, even if we can defeat the squadron of the Sharad Navy in the Xiguan Islands, our entire Royal Navy of the Purple Moon Empire will inevitably suffer another heavy blow. For a batch of weapons and equipment for the army, our navy has paid Is it worth the price?"

The navy and army of the Ziyue Empire have always been in conflict because of military expenses. The words of Zhou Quan, the commander of the Second Fleet, made Liu Yongcheng, who was inclined to attack, hesitant, "But how does Her Majesty explain it?" ?”

At this time, Liu Ying, the commander of the Third Fleet, said: "My lord, anyway, the transport fleet of the British Empire only communicates with our Royal Navy in a single line. We can keep Her Majesty the Queen from knowing the telegram from the British Empire transport fleet." Content."

Gu En, the commander of the Fourth Fleet, immediately said: "This idea is good. Even if Her Majesty the Queen learns about this matter in the future, we can find some reasons to shirk responsibility. For example, we can say that the telegraph operator copied the wrong content. , let us think that the Shararad Navy has left fourteen dreadnoughts near the Xiguan Islands."

Finally, under the persuasion of the four commanders of the four major fleets of the Royal Navy of the Ziyue Empire, Liu Yongcheng, the Minister of the Navy of the Ziyue Empire, tore up the telegram in his hand, but Liu Yongcheng hesitated for a long time, and still sent a telegram to Su Yi, telling Su Yi, Sarah The main forces of the German, Jisk, and Orenza navies have left the Xiguan Islands and are likely to go to Anbo Port.
