Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 9 The Third Fleet of the Skystar Empire Navy
At the frontline headquarters of the Skystar Empire about [-] kilometers south of Tongyi City in Hedong Province, Song Jin, the third prince of the Skystar Empire, slammed a telegram on the table, "Do all the navy eat shit? In Xingang There is actually a fleet of the Liuyun Empire in the port of the city, immediately send a telegram to the navy and ask the navy to give me an explanation!"

At this time, Earl Zhang Daoyuan, the frontline deputy commander of the Skystar Empire, saw the angry third prince Song Jin, and hurriedly persuaded him: "Your Highness, calm down, the navy of the Liuyun Empire is significantly different from that of our Skystar Empire. There is a fleet of the Floating Cloud Empire there, which is just right for our Heavenly Star Empire to expand our victories in this war."

In this world, in addition to the hereditary titles, there are also titles of honor. As long as a high-ranking military official who can reach the level of the captain or deputy captain of the regiment can generally obtain the honorary title bestowed by the royal family and enjoy most of the rights of the nobility, but Honorary titles cannot be hereditary and have no territory. Zhang Daoyuan is an honorary earl and one of the high-ranking officers of the Army Department of the Skystar Empire.

The third prince, Song Jin, sighed and said, "So what if we expand the results of the battle? Father is already ready to negotiate with the Liuyun Empire!"

Zhang Daoyuan then said: "Your Highness, the Liuyun Empire is a big country with a population of 12 billion after all, and its army exceeds 600 million. Your Majesty may be worried that if we continue to fight with the Liuyun Empire, we will lose both."

The third prince Song Jin pouted and said: "The army of the Liuyun Empire can only be regarded as the third-rate army in the world. If the emperor can send me three more legions, I am confident that I can fight all the way to Liuyun, the capital of the Liuyun Empire." City, if the emperor can fully support me, I even have the confidence to swallow the Liuyun Empire!"

According to the establishment of the Star Empire, a legion has four infantry divisions, two heavy artillery regiments, an engineering regiment, a cavalry regiment, a supply division and a legion headquarters, with a total strength of about 30.

Currently, the Heavenly Star Empire's army in the east province of the Liuyun Empire already exceeds 60 in total, but the Heavenly Star Empire does not have a complete legion that has entered the Liuyun Empire.

Zhang Daoyuan said with a wry smile: "Your Highness, don't forget that there are Ziyue Empire and Cangyu Empire. These two countries will not watch our Tianxing Empire annex the Liuyun Empire, let alone some countries in the other three continents. In recent years, several agents have been established in the Eastern Continent. If a large-scale war breaks out among the four major powers in the East, it may be easy for others to reap the benefits."

There are four huge lands in this world, called the Eastern Continent, the Southern Continent, the Western Continent, and the Northern Continent. The Eastern Continent is connected to the Southern Continent and the Western Continent respectively, and only the Northern Continent hangs alone.

Among the four continents, the Eastern Continent has the largest area, about 2000 million square kilometers. The combined area of ​​the Cangyu Empire, Liuyun Empire, Sky Star Empire, and Ziyue Empire accounts for almost three-thirds of the Eastern Continent. They are also the four countries with the strongest comprehensive strength in the Eastern Continent.

However, according to the division of power among the countries in this world, the Cangyu Empire, Liuyun Empire, Sky Star Empire and Ziyue Empire only belonged to the second-tier powers.

There are seven recognized first-class powers in this world, namely, the Empire of England, the Empire of Sharad, the Empire of Noomi, the Empire of Monia, the Empire of Jisk, the Empire of Rielland, and the Empire of Orensa. The military strength, industrial strength and economic strength of this country are very strong.

Among them, the Yingluoba Empire, the Sharad Empire, and the Noomi Empire are in the Western Continent, the Jisk Empire and the Orenza Empire are in the Southern Continent, and the Monia Empire and Rielan Empire are in the Northern Continent. There is only the Eastern Continent. The country can enter the list of first-class powers.

The third prince Song Jin waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I don't want those useless things anymore, let the infantry divisions attacking Tongyi City increase their attack strength, and try to conquer as much as possible before Father Emperor signs an armistice agreement with Liuyun Empire." Tongyi City, seize the entire Hedong Province!"

Zhang Daoyuan did not answer the words. In fact, Zhang Daoyuan knew very well in his heart that the battle with Yicheng had reached a stalemate. Facing the Liuyun Empire army that had gathered at least 80 troops, unless the country sent hundreds of thousands more reinforcements, the Skystar Empire would not Conquering Tongyi City is almost impossible.

On the bridge of the battleship Xinglong of the Star Empire, Viscount Li Dongyan, the commander of the third fleet of the Navy of the Star Empire, said with a smile to Baron Jia Zhongyang, the captain of the battleship Xinglong: "I didn't expect such a good thing to happen. On the head of our Third Fleet, I thought our navy would be watching this war all the time! It has been confirmed that there is a fleet of the Liuyun Empire hidden in the port of Xingang City of the Liuyun Empire. The Ministry of the Navy ordered us to The Third Fleet, rush to Xingang City immediately, and strive to wipe out the Fleet of the Floating Cloud Empire."

The titles of Li Dongyan and Jia Zhongyang are also honorary titles.

Jia Zhongyang frowned and said, "Commander, didn't the navy of the Liuyun Empire escape from the southern waters? The fleet in Xingang City is the main fleet of the Liuyun Empire?"

Li Dongyan shrugged and said: "Which fleet of the Liuyun Empire is it, I haven't figured it out yet, but with the strength of our third fleet, even if several main fleets of the Liuyun Empire gather together, I will not be afraid at all."

The Skystar Empire Navy has a total of four main fleets, of which the third fleet has four battleships, including two pre-dreadnought battleships and two armored battleships, as well as two armored cruisers, six light cruisers, six destroyers and twenty torpedo boat.

Jia Zhongyang nodded slightly and said: "The two former dreadnought battleships of Liuyun Empire are far behind the Xinglong and Zhenlong of our third fleet. With Xinglong and Zhenlong, plus the Sea Lion No. [-], No. [-] Haima, our Third Fleet can defeat the entire Navy of the Liuyun Empire by itself!"

The Xinglong and Zhenlong were purchased by the Skystar Empire from the British Empire, the world's largest naval power. They are former dreadnought battleships of the same model, with a full load displacement of 16500 tons, four 40-caliber 305mm main guns and four A 40 mm secondary main gun with 234 times the caliber, a maximum speed of 19 knots, and a four-year-old ship.

The Sea Lion and the Seahorse were also purchased by the Skystar Empire from the Yingluoba Empire. They are ironclad battleships of the same model, with a full load displacement of 11500 tons, four 30mm main guns with a caliber of 305 times, a maximum speed of 15 knots, and a ship age of nine years. .

Viscount Li Dongyan, the commander of the Third Fleet of the Skystar Empire Navy, then said loudly: "Give orders to the captains of the warships. Two hours later, all the warships of the Third Fleet will go straight to the port of Xingang City of the Liuyun Empire. I hope that the Liuyun Empire will That fleet did not flee."

Just as the Third Fleet of the Skystar Empire Navy set off for Xingang City, Gao Mingkui, the captain of the No. 80 Sixth Squadron of the Skystar Empire, also received an order from the frontline headquarters to let the 86th Squadron rest in place and wait for the Navy's No. After the Third Fleet wiped out the fleet of the Liuyun Empire at the port of Xingang City, it will attack Xingang City again. At that time, the Navy's Third Fleet will provide fire support for the 86 Wing.

Although Su Yi didn't know that the Third Fleet of the Skystar Empire Navy was about to arrive in Xingang City, Su Yi had foreseen that after his two battleships bombarded the Army of the Skystar Empire, the Navy of the Skystar Empire would never let it go.

After the military rank was promoted to first class, a silver treasure box was randomly rewarded by the system. After being opened by Su Yi, he got another British Edward VII-class battleship.

When the military rank is promoted to second lieutenant, the system randomly rewards a golden treasure box. In addition to a low-level booster card, there are three cards.

M-2 mortars (unit price 3 RMB, monthly limit of [-] pieces).

M1897 field gun (unit price 10 RMB, purchase limit [-] per month).

The British Minotaur-class armored cruiser (unit price 1.5 million yuan, limited to two ships per year).

The M1897 field gun is a kind of artillery used by France during World War I and World War II. It has a caliber of 75 mm, a maximum rate of fire of 15 rounds per minute, a maximum range of 550 meters, and each gun weighs 1.5 tons.

Field artillery has a longer range than infantry artillery and is more powerful. In the army of Liuyun Empire, infantry artillery is equipped at the infantry regiment level, while field artillery is only equipped at the division level.

The British Minotaur-class armored cruiser has a displacement of 14600 tons and a maximum speed of 23 knots. It is equipped with four 4mm main guns, ten 234mm secondary guns, sixteen 191mm rapid-fire guns, and five 76mm torpedo tubes. The side belt main armor is 450 mm, the deck armor is 152 mm, the main turret armor is 51 mm, and the crew is 203 people.

Each of the main guns, secondary guns, rapid-fire guns and torpedo tubes of the British Minotaur-class armored cruiser is equipped with five base ammunition.

Seeing the Minotaur-class armored cruiser, Su Yi finally understood why the 75mm field gun shells were added to the system mall after he was promoted to the first class. It was originally prepared for the M1897 field gun. The 191mm shells are prepared for the Minotaur-class armored cruisers.

Because he could get three more warships immediately, and the threat of the navy fleet of the Skystar Empire, Su Yi used the low-level expansion card on the navy-type primary combat biochemicals, and then the navy-type primary combat biochemicals were limited to 2000 per month. , became a monthly purchase limit of 8000 people, an increase of four times.

The newly acquired Edward VII-class battleship was named Jianyong by Su Yi, and the two Minotaur-class armored cruisers were named Feiying and Feihong.

In this way, the Xingang Fleet in Su Yi's hands has a dreadnought battleship, two former dreadnought battleships and two large armored cruisers, which gives Su Yi a lot of confidence in the face of the possible arrival of the Navy fleet of the Skystar Empire.

After allocating the required personnel for the five warships, there were still more than 600 naval-type junior combat biochemicals left. Su Yi temporarily organized these naval officers and soldiers into an infantry brigade, which was temporarily used as an army.
