Alien Arms Empire.

"Boom!" A cannonball suddenly fell in a small dilapidated fishing village on the coastline of Mirage, which was far away from Beiyuan City, knocking off the roofs of several houses.

On the sea in the distance, a Weigang-class cruiser of Datang was molesting the entire village with one of its main guns.

The goblins, who were scared by the shells and fled in embarrassment, looked at the battleship on the sea angrily, yelling and cursing, but they dared not take a step on the beach.

His Majesty the King of the Tang Kingdom gave the Tang Navy Commander an order to attack any mirage targets within the attack range, including coastlines, ports, ships, forts and even unlucky ghosts walking on the beach.

In short, when you meet a god, kill a god, and when you meet a Buddha, kill a Buddha!
Therefore, apart from Bernard leaving behind a few destroyers and cruisers to blockade Beiyuan City, except for the No. 1 battleship in the East Bay returning to Linshui for repairs in the main fleet, he drove the other two battleships to the Mirage Sea.

The mirage government and the public, which had never had such a thing happen, were shocked.Because Dananwan, the largest port in the south of Mirage, was smashed to pieces.

When battleships attack ports, the accuracy of artillery hits becomes less important.They were hitting fixed targets, and the effective hit zone was so large, so Bernard's fleet easily completed their mission.

The Cyric front-loading gun on the Great South Bay Fort, which has not been renovated almost 100 years ago, is still 100mm...

When it was purchased that year, it was considered a giant cannon, and there was also a steering gear with a wooden structure, which was considered a very advanced weapon and equipment.

Too bad they are from 100 years ago.Can you guess what kind of threat a solid bullet fired from a 100mm front-loading gun can pose to armor with a thickness of more than 200mm?
In fact, there is no need to guess, these artillery are not even enough for the basic range!The two destroyers of Datang fired several rounds of salvos with 150mm main guns, and the Great South Bay Fort completely became history.

Then the main Tang fleet entered the harbor, and the main guns on the two battleships began to unload their shells.

That's a 305mm caliber high-explosive bomb!That's a total of 16 main guns roaring at the same time!That is a spectacular sight that the old men and women of Mirage have never seen in their 60 years of life!
The local officials who stayed in the city were so frightened that they could not even speak. When they saw a chimney that was still smoking just now being lifted into the sky by shells, they realized that their country was fighting with something. Such an enemy to fight.

The cries of children and the screams of despair seemed so small and helpless in front of the shattering explosion of shells.

Violence can never be exchanged for forgiveness, so repaying grievances with kindness is just a good wish, and killing to stop killing is the most effective means!
If you don't cut the enemy's throat to bleed out all the blood, and then press it on the chopping board to chop it up, the remaining enemies will never learn a word called awe.

"Those who kill me human beings! They must be punished!" Recited silently the slogan shouted by King Datang when he gave the order, the loaders once again manipulated the machine, let the chain roll up, and loaded a huge dark green cannonball. into the barrel.

After all the procedures were completed, there was a short silence.Immediately afterwards, another round of salvo began, and the dense shells traveled a long enough distance and landed in the city of Great South Bay. …

The fishing boats docked in the port were sieved by the 150mm secondary guns, and the remaining masts of the sailing boats were still erected on the sea.

The high bow of a coal carrier was sinking into the water little by little due to water inflow, and the scattered cinders dyed the surrounding seawater like ink.

Bernard did not find Mirage's main fleet in the port of Great South Bay. He only sank 3 destroyers and a cruiser trying to escape.

Mirage's main fleet went north to avoid the battle after suffering heavy losses, and what stayed here was basically a symbolic fleet, which was actually very small, and could even be said to be dispensable.

When sinking these remaining warships, some people even saw that there were still damages on these warships that had not been repaired in time, which were obviously left over from the last naval battle.

On the one hand, Mirage has no time to repair these damages, and on the other hand, it also knows that these wounded warships may capsize halfway through the north, so they are left behind and try their luck to see if they can survive.

Facts have proved that the luck of the Mirage Navy seems to have run out when it damaged the No. 1 battleship in the East Bay. All four battleships were sunk in the port, and they couldn't even struggle in front of the battleship.

If there were torpedoes on the cruisers and destroyers at this time, then Bernard would naturally not dare to let the fleet directly enter the harbor for a close-range artillery battle.

It's a pity that the only few torpedoes in the world are still in the submarine near Long Island for performance testing, so the cruisers and destroyers in this world have no possibility of counterattacking the battleships.

In Dananwan, the officials of the Mirage Kingdom sent out the news that they were attacked, and then the senior officials of the Mirage Kingdom knew that their "hometown" had been beaten.

For an island country, this is definitely a great shame and a fatal situation.

For a while, all places received notices of mobilization troops, but unfortunately, these temporarily recruited mobilization troops may not even have a decent rifle.

No battleships, no cannons.We can't let these soldiers take Cyric 1 bolt-action rifles and swim to fight the enemy's warships with bayonets, right?
Therefore, while recruiting a large number of troops, the court of Mirage Kingdom immediately began to discuss the peace talks.

At the beginning, because of the harsh conditions of the Tang Dynasty, the people in the Mirage Kingdom were unwilling to bring up this matter.

But as the war situation continued to worsen, such things as negotiating a peace became less embarrassing.

……

In the distant Dahua Empire, in the imperial city, Zhao Kai, the Emperor of Dahua, was watching a group of ministers arguing about something non-stop.

The relationship between the Great China Empire and the Tang State is very tense, which is something everyone knows.For this reason, the Dahua Empire also temporarily recruited some troops to fill the previous border with Qi.

Even, at the most critical moment when Qi State was struggling, the senior officials of Dahua Empire seriously discussed the battle plan to attack Tang State.

It's a pity that the king of Qi, Jiang Xian, died suddenly, and the situation collapsed so quickly that the Dahua Empire quickly lost the opportunity to send troops.

With the Tang army taking out all kinds of new weapons and equipment on the battlefield, the generals of the Great China Empire became less optimistic about the war against Tang, so the matter of declaring war against Tang was delayed again and again, and it became the current situation. This look. …

The situation is a bit like when the Tang State destroyed Zheng, a group of ministers yelled every day about the lack of preparation and insufficient military strength, which made Zhao Kai quite irritable.

He wanted to use the army to attack Tang, but he was worried that he would lose the battle if he insisted on going his own way, so he fell into this kind of endless debate with his officials again.

But soon, Cyric's advisors sent good news, which was confirmed by the ambassadors of the Ice Empire and other countries one after another.

Tang Guo is ready to sell the aircraft technology that the Great China Empire fears, and is also willing to sell the battleship technology!
This immediately made the military of the Dahua Empire salivate. They hoped that Zhao Kai would spend money to buy these technologies so that he could catch up with the gap as soon as possible and have a powerful air force like Tang Jun.

Compared with the slow-moving airship, this seems to be the ultimate solution for air weapons and equipment-even though it is already behind, it really points out a correct development direction!

"One hundred million! That's one hundred million! We don't have that many gold coins at all!" Hubu Shangshu Wang Yucai stood by Zhao Kai's side with a bitter face. He really couldn't afford that much money this time.

It's just that he's not as poor as he shows. With the continuous development of industrialization, the countries in this world are obviously much richer than they were before.

More or less countries have started to issue banknotes, but they are not as strong as those issued by Datang Group. During the transaction, everyone can't help but use the banknotes issued by Datang Group. In the war, the Datang Group seems to be sure of victory.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter! I can use some banknotes from the Tang Dynasty that I had backlogged before, and I can use ore to pay for it...it's all right! It's all right!" Feng Kezhi accompanied his smiling face, after all, he was asking the Ministry of Households for money.

"Tell me, buy tanks and cannons from Cyric, and build your own factory to produce machine gun cars... How much did you spend?" Zhao Kai slapped the table and said angrily: "The result? It cost so much money , but when it comes time to fight, you still say you can’t fight! What use do I need you for? What use do I need you for!”

Zhou Qiang, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, who was standing among the ministers on the other side, also felt pain in his flesh: "Can I have less... This whole [-] million gold coins..."

"You guys think it's expensive, but Cyric's envoys have already boarded the ship!" Chen Jing, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, is on the side of the military this time, because if the aircraft technology can be grasped in his hands, the Ministry of Industry's envoys Various production technologies will definitely be improved again.

Chen Jing, the minister, is naturally willing to do this kind of spending the military's money to gain political achievements for the Ministry of Industry.

In fact, after a series of cooperation with Tang Guo, Shang Shu Chen Jing felt more and more that Datang Group's technology was unfathomable.He has completely changed his attitude now, and he does not support launching a war against Tang at all.

But he didn't support it, and there were still people who supported it.At least the Emperor Zhao Kai is a war faction. If the ministers hadn't stopped him, the Great Hua Empire would have declared war on the Tang Kingdom a few months ago.

"If Your Majesty wants to launch a war against Tang, the technology of this aircraft will have to be purchased." Shen Chuan, Minister of the Ministry of War, took a step forward and explained: "If we don't do this, wouldn't our million-dollar army be destroyed? Enemy in the sky raiding?"
