Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 82 Su Yi's Rejection

On the evening of December 3011, [-] in the Tang calendar, Su Yi stood at the wharf of Anbo Port, looked at the scarred warships on the berths of the port, turned his head and said to Wang Chengliang, the commander of the independent fleet beside him: "The Anbo Port The shipyard has six [-]-ton docks, six [-]-ton docks, and six [-]-ton docks. Hurry up and repair the less injured battleships first. The navies of the three countries, SK and Orenza, but the strength of the combined naval fleets of these three countries still exists, and the independent fleet still has to prepare for another battle with the combined navies of the three countries."

Wang Chengliang nodded and said: "Don't worry, Marshal, among the twelve super dreadnought battleships, eight quasi-super dreadnought battleships and eight battlecruisers in our independent fleet, only a few are seriously injured, and most of them maintain their combat effectiveness. You can keep fighting."

Su Yi showed a smile at this time and said: "By the way, there is another good news. The Independent Fleet will soon add twelve new battleships, including four super dreadnought battleships, four dreadnought battleships and four pre-dreadnought battleships." Battleship."

At the end of this naval battle, the independent fleet captured four super dreadnought battleships, four dreadnought battleships and four former dreadnought battleships from the navies of the three countries, so the system immediately rewarded Su Yi with four American Nevada-class super dreadnought battleships, four Four U.S. Florida-class dreadnought battleships and four U.S. Connecticut-class pre-dreadnought battleships.

The U.S. Nevada-class super dreadnought battleship has a standard displacement of 27500 tons, a full-load displacement of 28400 tons, and a maximum speed of 20.5 knots. It is equipped with two triple-mounted 45-caliber 356mm main guns, two double-mounted 45-caliber 356mm main guns, 21 There are 127mm secondary guns, 343mm main armor on the side, 76mm deck armor, 457mm main turret armor, and a crew of 370 and four.

The U.S. Florida-class dreadnought battleship has a standard displacement of 21825 tons, a full-load displacement of 23033 tons, and a maximum speed of 21 knots. It is equipped with five twin-mounted 45mm main guns with a caliber of 305 times, sixteen 127mm secondary guns, and six 76mm rapid-fire guns. , with 279mm main armor on the side, 89mm deck armor, 305mm main turret armor, and a crew of 170.

Hearing Su Yi say that the Independent Fleet will add four super dreadnought battleships, four dreadnought battleships and four pre-dreadnought battleships soon, Wang Chengliang's eyes light up, "Marshal, I wonder how the performance of these twelve battleships will be?"

After Su Yi briefly introduced the performance of these three battleships, Wang Chengliang said happily: "These twelve battleships are enough to make up for the loss of the capital ships of our independent fleet in this naval battle. If you add the captured warships , our independent fleet will definitely make a profit in this naval battle."

At this moment, Ouyang Qian, the second princess of the Ziyue Empire, walked towards Su Yi and Wang Chengliang, "General Su, congratulations again on your brilliant victory! I want to ask Commander Wang, Sharad, Ji How much did the navies of Sk and Orenza suffer in this naval battle?"

Wang Chengliang did not answer the second princess Ouyang Qian immediately, but turned to look at Su Yi. After Su Yi nodded slightly, Wang Chengliang said: "His Royal Highness, after the preliminary statistics of our independent fleet, a total of Sara was sunk." Two super dreadnought battleships, 26 dreadnought battleships, 300 former dreadnought battleships, [-] ironclad battleships, [-] large armored cruisers and more than [-] other types of warships from the three navies of Germany, Gisk, and Orenza. In addition, our independent fleet captured thirty enemy ships including four super dreadnought battleships."

When the second princess Ouyang Qian heard this, she couldn't help but gasp. The achievements of Su Yi's independent fleet were so brilliant that Ouyang Qian couldn't help feeling like a dream.

You must know that the three navies of Sharad, Jisk, and Orenza are ranked second, fifth, and seventh in the world's navies, and this time the three navies can be said to be the main force. Now Su Yi's independent fleet can Does defeating the combined naval fleet of these three countries mean that the independent fleet under Su Yi's command even has the strength to compete with the world's number one Royal Navy of the British Empire?
The second princess, Ouyang Qian, then asked Wang Chengliang eagerly: "Commander Wang, can the independent fleet continue to fight?"

Before Wang Chengliang could speak, Su Yi hurriedly said: "Your Highness, Second Princess, you have also seen that although the Independent Fleet won this time by luck, it also lost a lot of money. Almost every battleship had to enter the dock for maintenance. In the future, the independent fleet will no longer go out to fight in Hong Kong."

The second princess, Ouyang Qian, frowned, "General Su, you must know that our Ziyue Empire bought a large amount of army weapons and ammunition from the Yingluoba Empire with a low-interest loan of 5000 million U.S. dollars from the Yingluoba Empire. Now the convoy transporting these weapons and ammunition from the British Empire is blocked west of the Xiguan Islands by a squadron of the Sharad Navy, unable to reach the west coast of our Ziyue Empire, I don’t know General Su..."

Before the second princess Ouyang Qian could finish her words, she was interrupted by Su Yi waving her hand, "I'm really sorry, Your Highness the Second Princess, I have already said that almost all the battleships of the independent fleet have to enter the dock for maintenance, let alone this naval battle, Sarah Although the navies of Germany, Jisk, and Orenza have suffered heavy losses, the combined number of remaining battleships in the three countries still exceeds the independent fleet under my command, so I cannot let the independent fleet risk thousands of kilometers away Xiguan Islands, to meet the transport fleet of the British Empire."

The second princess, Ouyang Qian, said in a pleading tone: "General Su, you also know how short of weapons and ammunition our Ziyue Empire Royal Army has. Many soldiers even need several people to share a rifle. Please, can you help us?" ?”

Hearing Ouyang Qian, the stunning beauty, pleading with him softly, Su Yi couldn't help feeling a little ripple in his heart, but Su Yi still said firmly: "Your Highness, Second Princess, I also know that the Royal Army of Ziyue Empire is very There is a lack of weapons and ammunition, but I can't let my navy officers and soldiers under my command take a wounded warship to take risks in order to help the Ziyue Empire, so I can only say sorry again."

In fact, it is not difficult for the independent fleet to escort the transport fleet of the British Empire to the west coast of the Purple Moon Empire. With the four Connecticut-class pre-dreadnought battleships, it is easy to accomplish this task only with the lightly injured battleships of the Independent Fleet.

However, once the Ziyue Empire got the weapons and ammunition from the Yingluoba Empire, the life of the Su Army Army might not be as easy as it is now, at least recruiting troops would not be as easy as it is now.

At present, the Su family army already has four guard infantry brigades, 42 field infantry brigades, and seven marine brigades in the territory of the Ziyue Empire. In addition, there are more than 200 supplementary regiments, and the strength of each supplementary regiment is More than 5000 people.

With such a huge force, Su Yi is still not satisfied, and the recruitment plan of each infantry brigade of the Su family army on the front line is still going on.
