The Orenza Navy Reborn from the Ashes
Chapter 192 The Orenza Navy Reborn from the Ashes
Emperor Modest of the Orenza Empire knew that, as Prime Minister Niki Fore said, since he boarded the big ship of the Seven Nations Alliance, it was no longer up to the Orenza Empire to decide to disembark halfway. Otherwise, the Orenza Empire will turn against the other six great powers at once.
After pondering for a moment, Emperor Modest asked Prime Minister Niki Fore: "Prime Minister, do you think the other six countries will have the idea of ending the war with the Tang Empire and the Ziyue Empire?"
Prime Minister Niki Fore immediately said: "Your Majesty, although the four countries of Inrobah, Sharad, Noomi, and Monia, who are dominant in the seven-nation alliance, suffered heavy losses in the naval battle in January, this The strength of the armies of the four countries has not been severely damaged. The armies of the three countries of Yingluoba, Sharad, and Noomi have disintegrated a large-scale counterattack by the Tang Empire army not long ago. Therefore, I think that at this time, Yingluoba, Sharad Germany, the three countries of Noomi, and the Monia Empire will not consider ending this war for the time being."
In mid-March, the Royal Army of the Tang Empire gathered nearly ten million troops, including the armored troops of the Royal Army of the Tang Empire. A large-scale attack was launched.
However, three days after the Royal Army of the Great Tang Empire launched its attack, the commander-in-chief He Yunfei issued an order to retreat across the board, and then the attacking troops of the Royal Army of the Great Tang Empire retreated back to the defense line of the border area of the Great Tang Empire.
The reason why He Yunfei gave the order to retreat was because the blitzkrieg planned by the Royal Army of the Tang Empire hadn't been fought. If the attack continued, the losses the Royal Army of the Tang Empire would suffer would definitely be astonishing. He Yunfei didn't want to fight like this war of attrition.
After the Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire successfully used blitzkrieg to defeat the Jisk Army and the Orensa Army in the Skystar Empire, the shocked three countries of Yingluoba, Sharad, and Noomi used their powerful military production capabilities to immediately provide The armies of the three countries on the front line are equipped with a large number of anti-aircraft machine guns, anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft guns.
Anti-tank guns are also anti-tank guns, which are directly aimed at attacking tanks and armored targets. The anti-tank guns produced by the three countries of Yingluoba, Sharad, and Noomi are generally divided into 37 mm and 57 mm. mm, these two caliber anti-aircraft guns, equipped with armor-piercing bullets, are enough to destroy the armored vehicles and tanks equipped by the Royal Army of the Tang Empire.
In addition, the three countries of Yingluoba, Sharad, and Noomi also quickly developed anti-tank landmines and anti-tank grenades, and quickly equipped the front-line troops of the three armies.
When the armored troops of the Royal Army of the Tang Empire invaded the territory of the Sharad Empire, they were immediately strangled by the anti-tank artillery, anti-tank mines and anti-tank grenades, and suffered extremely heavy losses, making the armored troops unable to perform their assaults at all. The infantry of the Royal Army of the Tang Empire can only be allowed to attack the strong fortifications of the three armies of Inaba, Sharad, and Noomi.
And because the armies of Yingluoba, Sharad, and Noomi are equipped with a large number of anti-aircraft weapons, the Royal Air Force of the Datang Empire also suffered a lot of losses, making it impossible to provide strong support for the attacking troops of the Royal Army of the Datang Empire. Powerful air support is also one of the important reasons why Commander-in-Chief He Yunfei issued the retreat order.
Emperor Modest sighed and said: "It seems that we can only continue to persevere. I hope that the armies of the three countries of Inaba, Sharad, and Noomi can change the current situation of the war. By the way, the air defense weapons of our Orenza Empire What about anti-tank weapons?"
Prime Minister Niki Fore said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, according to the design drawings given by the Sharad Empire, several large arsenals in our Orenza Empire have produced our own new anti-aircraft machine guns, new anti-aircraft guns, Anti-tank guns, anti-tank mines and anti-tank grenades, these weapons have already begun to equip the Royal Army. If the Ziyue Empire and the Datang Empire dare to invade our Orenza Empire, the Royal Army will definitely attack them head-on! "
In order to contain the troops of the Orenza Empire and break the stalemate in the Skystar Empire, the Ziyue Imperial Army gathered [-] field infantry divisions and [-] temporary infantry divisions, and took the initiative to attack the mainland of the Orenza Empire. A large-scale attack was launched, but the domestic forces of the Orenza Empire were sufficient, and this diversionary attack by the Royal Army of the Ziyue Empire did not achieve the desired effect.
After the Tianxing Empire announced its surrender, the Royal Army of the Ziyue Empire, which entered the territory of the Orunsa Empire, withdrew the Ziyue Empire and the Tang Empire. There was a confrontation along the line.
Emperor Modest nodded slightly, and then asked again: "Prime Minister, our new super dreadnought battleship and battlecruiser of the Royal Navy of Orenza. When will they be ready for service?"
After the Orenza Empire signed an armistice agreement with the Purple Moon Empire and the Su Family Army last time, with the support of Emperor Modest, they started a plan to rebuild the Orenza Royal Navy.
This plan includes the construction of 36 super dreadnought battleships, 48 battlecruisers, 100 large armored cruisers, [-] light cruisers, [-] destroyers and [-] torpedo boats. Currently, in addition to the [-] super dreadnought battleships and In addition to the sixteen battlecruisers, more than [-] other warships have joined the sequence of the Orenza Royal Navy, which can be regarded as restoring the strength of the Orenza Royal Navy a lot.
You must know that when the Orenza Empire signed the armistice agreement with the Purple Moon Empire and the Su Family Army, there were only five former dreadnought battleships, two iron-clad battleships, four large armored cruisers, and eight light battleships left in the entire Orenza Royal Navy. Cruisers, twelve destroyers, more than twenty torpedo boats and more than 30 gunboats.
Later, the Royal Navy of Orenza took out the twelve armored battleships that had been sealed up, slightly modified them, and temporarily added them to the main fleet.
Prime Minister Niki Fore suddenly smiled and said: "Your Majesty, at the beginning of next month, six Valor-class super dreadnought battleships and six Beaver-class battlecruisers will join our Orenza Royal Navy, and the Royal Navy will finally There is no need to rely on five former dreadnought battleships and fourteen ironclad battleships for appearances, and the other ten Valor-class and ten Beaver-class ships will all be completed before August."
The Valiant-class super-dreadnought battleship of the Royal Navy of Orenza is equipped with five dual-mounted 45-caliber 343mm main guns, with a full-load displacement of 26300 tons and a maximum speed of 20 knots.
The Beaver-class battlecruiser is equipped with four double-mounted 45-caliber 343mm main guns, with a full-load displacement of 27200 tons and a maximum speed of 25.5 knots.
Emperor Modest nodded in satisfaction and said: "Thanks to the Prime Minister's suggestion that a large number of coastal defense guns be deployed in every port with a shipyard, this has prevented the navy of the Ziyue Empire from destroying our shipyard, making our We, the Royal Navy of Orenza, have a chance to rise from the ashes."
Prime Minister Niki Fore hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, the Ziyue Empire Navy and the Datang Empire Navy are now so powerful, even if all the sixteen Valor-class and sixteen Beaver-class ships of our Orenza Royal Navy enter service, The minister suggested that our Orenza Royal Navy should still be able to guard various ports as its main task."
Emperor Modest sighed and said: "Prime Minister, don't worry, I will not let our Orenza Royal Navy take risks. The sixteen Valor-class ships and the sixteen Beaver-class ships were built by our Orenza Empire at a huge expense. "
Prime Minister Niki Fore then asked: "Your Majesty, the Admiralty has designed super dreadnought battleships and battlecruisers with 356mm main guns. Your Majesty thinks that the next level of super dreadnought battleships and battlecruisers, our Oren How many ships should the Royal Navy build?"
Emperor Modest smiled wryly and said, "The Prime Minister wants me to continue to pay, right?"
Prime Minister Nikifor smiled awkwardly and said: "Your Majesty, almost all the finances of our Orenza Empire are currently used by the Royal Army. Therefore, if the Royal Navy's new shipbuilding plan relies solely on the empire's finances, Then we can only postpone it later, and now the focus of our Orenza Empire is to continue to strengthen the strength of the Royal Army and prevent the invasion of the armies of Datang and Ziyue."
Emperor Modest pondered for a while and said: "The importance of the navy is unquestionable. After the alliance of the seven nations declared war with Datang and Ziyue, almost all the coastal areas of our Orenza Empire were given by the Ziyue navy. The blockade, even freighters cannot leave the port, and the economic losses caused are incalculable. Therefore, our Orenza Royal Navy cannot stop building super dreadnought battleships and battlecruisers. The next level of super dreadnought battleships and battlecruisers, Still build [-] ships each.”
After a pause, Emperor Modest continued: "The royal family can solve part of the funding problem, and issue some more national debt, which will be used exclusively to build the next level of super dreadnought battleships and battlecruisers."
Prime Minister Niki Fore nodded slowly when he heard this. Although in order to expand the strength of the Orenza Royal Army and deal with this war, the Orenza Empire has issued treasury bonds worth [-] million pounds, but in order to build the next A level of super dreadnought battleships and battlecruisers, and the issuance of national debt worth tens of millions or hundreds of millions of pounds, the future finances of the Orenza Empire will still be able to bear it.
The construction of sixteen new super dreadnought battleships and sixteen new battlecruisers will cost at least seven to eighty million British dollars. It is really unrealistic to rely solely on the Orensa royal family for money. After all, the Orensa royal family also Not very rich.
