Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 162 Rejecting Friendship
"Boom—" Su Yi slapped a piece of paper in his hand on the table fiercely, and then asked with a gloomy face to Xu Haoming, the Prime Minister of the Datang Empire, Shi Jian, the Deputy Prime Minister of the Cabinet, and Guo Xian, the Prime Minister of the Ziyue Empire: " Is this the limit given to us by the Tang Empire and the Ziyue Empire by the seven countries of Yingluoba, Sharad, Noomi, Monia, Jisk, Rielan, and Orensa?"

Cabinet Prime Minister Xu Haoming said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, after more than half a month of negotiations, I believe that the seven parties of Inrobah, Sharad, Noomi, Monia, Jisk, Rielan, and Orenza The country has no sincerity towards our Datang Empire and the Ziyue Empire, and has been jointly exerting pressure on our Datang Empire and the Ziyue Empire, trying to force our Datang Empire and the Ziyue Empire to sign this unfair military restriction Regarding the treaty, I feel that we, the Tang Empire and the Ziyue Empire, can withdraw from the negotiations."

After Su Yi ascended the throne, the seven prime ministers of the Yingluoba Empire, the Sharad Empire, the Noomi Empire, the Monia Empire, the Jisk Empire, the Rilland Empire, and the Orenza Empire did not leave Chang'an City in a hurry, but Right away, they started negotiations with the Prime Minister of the Tang Empire, Xu Haoming, the Vice Premier of the Cabinet, Shi Jian, and the Prime Minister of the Ziyue Empire, Guo Xian, to limit the size of the navy and army of each country.

Although the prime ministers of the seven countries, including Yingluoba and Sharad, are also arguing about the number of army troops and naval battleships that their respective countries should retain, once it involves the navy and army of the Datang Empire and the Ziyue Empire When the scale is reached, the prime ministers of the seven countries including Yingluoba and Sharad will unite immediately to reduce the size of the navy and army of the Tang Empire and the Ziyue Empire as much as possible.

After more than half a month of negotiations, the seven countries of Yingluoba, Sharad, Noomi, Monia, Jisk, Rielland, and Orenza have basically reached an agreement.

In terms of the navy, the standard displacement of capital ships of the navies of various countries is not allowed to exceed 381 tons, and the caliber of the main guns is not allowed to exceed 203 mm. Countries stipulate that abandoned capital ships cannot be converted into other forms of combat ships, and can only be dismantled To deal with it, the warships of the navies of various countries, except capital ships, must not be equipped with naval guns with a caliber exceeding [-] mm.

The British Empire can have a maximum of 48 battleships. Today, there are 24 super dreadnought battleships, 36 battlecruisers, 72 dreadnought battleships, [-] former dreadnought battleships and The [-] ironclad battleships, if you add the [-] tough-class super dreadnought battleships and [-] ambush-class battlecruisers that the British Empire is building, it will be exactly [-] ships, which means that the British Empire does not need to destroy them for the time being Any battleship, even an ironclad battleship, could remain.

The number of capital ships of the Sharad Empire and the Noomi Empire is 210% of that of the British Empire, that is, [-] ships. According to the current number of active capital ships of the Sharad Navy and the Noomi Navy, plus the two The super dreadnought battleships and battlecruisers that China is building, the Sharad Empire and the Noomi Empire also do not need to destroy any battleships.

The number of battleships owned by the Monia Empire is [-]% of that of the Empire of England, the number of battleships of the Empire of Jisk and the Empire of Rilland is [-]% of that of the Empire of England, and the number of battleships of the Empire of Orenza is [-]%. The stock is [-]% of that of the British Empire. According to the number of capital ships currently in service and under construction in these four countries, there is no need to destroy any battleship.

For the number of capital ships of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire, Ying Luoba, Sharad and other seven countries are only willing to give [-]% of the capital ships of the Ying Luoba Navy. Seven countries, including China, Sharad, are only willing to give [-]% of the capital ships of the Yingluoba Navy.

You must know that the current capital ships of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire include 58 super dreadnought battleships, 26 battlecruisers, 23 dreadnought battleships and 42 pre-dreadnought battleships. The total number has reached 140, while the British Forty percent of the capital ships of the Luoba Navy are only 120 ships.

In this way, if the Datang Empire signed this treaty limiting the size of the navy and army of various countries, then the Royal Navy of the Datang Empire would have to destroy 29 former dreadnought battleships, and the [-] ironclad battleships of the seven garrison fleets would also have to be destroyed. It was destroyed, and once the [-] super dreadnought battleships and [-] battlecruisers newly built by the eight large shipyards of the Datang Empire were completed, it would not be enough to destroy all the dreadnought battleships and former dreadnought battleships in service. Then destroy four active super dreadnought battleships or four active battlecruisers.

The four main fleets and six garrison fleets of the Royal Navy of the Purple Moon Empire currently have a total of 44 super dreadnought battleships, 25 battlecruisers, 110 dreadnought battleships, 75 former dreadnought battleships and [-] ironclad battleships. There are a total of [-] and two capital ships, while the [-]% of the capital ships of the Yingluoba Navy is only [-].

If the Purple Moon Empire signed this treaty that limited the size of the navy and army of each country, then the number of battleships that needed to be destroyed would be even greater.

In terms of armies, the Noomi Empire can have an army of 1000 million, the Sharad Empire can have an army of 800 million, the Inrobba Empire and the Monia Empire can each have an army of 600 million, and the Jisk Empire and the Rilland Empire can have an army of 500 million. and the Orenza Empire can each have an army of [-] million.

However, the seven countries including Yingluoba and Sharad only allowed the Tang Empire to retain an army of 500 million, and the Ziyue Empire could only retain an army of 300 million.

In addition, the seven countries including Yingluoba and Sharad have also restricted the number of army troops and naval capital ships of non-signatory countries, requiring that the army strength of all non-signatory countries cannot exceed 200 million, and the number of naval capital ships cannot exceed Yingluo. [-]% of the capital ships of the Pakistani Navy.

Cabinet Deputy Prime Minister Shi Jian hesitated for a while and said to Su Yi: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister of the Sharad Empire, Shulik, clearly stated that if the non-signatory countries ignore this treaty that limits the size of the navy and army of each country, then it is tantamount to declaring war on all signatory countries. The prime ministers of the six countries, including Yingluoba and Noomi, all agreed to this. This is obviously a threat of war against our Datang Empire and the Ziyue Empire, forcing our Datang Empire and the Ziyue Empire to sign this agreement. The unfair military restriction treaty does not allow us, the Tang Empire and the Ziyue Empire, to withdraw from the negotiations."

Su Yi sneered, and there was a glint of coldness in his eyes, "I really want to see if the Seven Kingdoms including Yingluoba and Sharad have the guts to declare war on us, the Tang Empire and the Ziyue Empire? Since we can't reach an agreement, then Don't talk about it, you can tell the prime ministers of the seven countries that the Tang Empire and the Ziyue Empire have officially withdrawn from the negotiations to limit the size of the navy and army of each country!"

Guo Xian, Prime Minister of the Ziyue Empire, couldn't help but said at this time: "Your Majesty, why don't we talk about it again? In case the Seven Kingdoms such as Yingluoba and Sharad really..."

Before Guo Xian finished speaking, he was interrupted by Su Yi, "According to the current situation of the seven countries of Inaba, Sharad, Noomi, Monia, Jisk, Rielland, and Orenza, Even if we continue to discuss the quotas of the Tang Empire and the Ziyue Empire, we will never reach a satisfactory result. In my opinion, the number of battleships in the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire must be equal to that of the Yingluoba Empire. To be equal, the number of capital ships of the Royal Navy of the Ziyue Empire needs to be equal to that of the Sharad Empire and the Noomi Empire, and the strength of the Royal Army of the Datang Empire and the Royal Army of the Ziyue Empire must both reach 1000 million."

Cabinet Prime Minister Xu Haoming immediately said loudly: "Your Majesty is right. The Seven Kingdoms including Yingluoba and Sharad are clearly uniting to weaken the military strength of our Tang Empire and Ziyue Empire. We must not give in this time. Maybe after the military strength of our Great Tang Empire and Ziyue Empire is severely weakened, it will be the time when our Great Tang Empire and Ziyue Empire will be invaded!"

The Deputy Prime Minister of the Cabinet, Shi Jian, smiled wryly and said: "Your Majesty, the Yingluoba Empire, the Sharad Empire, the Noomi Empire, the Monia Empire, the Jisk Empire, the Rilland Empire, and the Orensa Empire all belong to the first class. Powerful countries can be said to be the seven countries with the strongest economy, industry and military in the world. If these seven countries really declare war on our Datang Empire and Ziyue Empire, the situation of our Datang Empire and Ziyue Empire will be in danger .”

Su Yi pondered for a while and said: "Prime Minister Shi, whether a war breaks out is no longer up to our Tang Empire and the Ziyue Empire, but our Datang Empire and the Ziyue Empire are not afraid of war. If Yingluoba, If Sharad and other Seven Kingdoms really dare to declare war, I will accompany them to the end, and our Tang Empire and Ziyue Empire will not necessarily lose."

On the afternoon of July 3013th, [-] in the Tang Dynasty, in a meeting room of the British embassy in Chang'an City, the Prime Minister of the British Empire, August, spoke to Sharad, Noomi and other six people in a deep voice. The Prime Minister of the United States said: "The Tang Empire and the Ziyue Empire announced this morning that they would withdraw from the negotiations to limit the size of the navy and army of each country. Our efforts for more than half a month before were all nullified."

Shulik, Prime Minister of the Sharad Empire, said with a grim expression: "Since the Tang Empire and the Ziyue Empire have rejected the friendship of our white world, let the Tang Empire and Ziyue Empire accept the punishment of our white world!"

The Prime Minister of the Orenza Empire, Niki Fore, said emotionally immediately: "War! It must be a war! Only through war can the Datang Empire and the Ziyue Empire abide by the rules set by our white world!"

Prime Minister Julian of the Noomi Empire nodded and said: "In order to prevent countries from being dragged down by the intensified arms race, the Datang Empire and the Ziyue Empire who are unwilling to abide by the rules must be punished. I will return to Noomi Empire tomorrow." The Omi Empire, try to persuade His Majesty the Emperor to join our Seven Nations Alliance!"
