Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 193 The Emperor's Thoughts

Knowing that the Tang Empire had formally annexed the forty provinces of the Tianxing Empire, the Emperor Lazarik of the Gisk Empire said to Prime Minister Maxim with a depressed face: "I really regret it now, let the Jisk Empire Joined the Seven Nations Alliance, otherwise our Jisk Empire would not have lost the Skystar Empire so soon, oh—”

Prime Minister Maxim smiled wryly and said: "Your Majesty, you don't have to blame yourself. The emperor of the Great Tang Empire has long been eyeing the Skystar Empire. And the Ziyue Empire will definitely find an excuse to invade the Skystar Empire."

Emperor Lazaric sighed and said: "Although the war between the Seven Kingdoms Alliance and Datang and Ziyue is not over yet, I have a hunch that the Skystar Empire will never return to the hands of our Jisk Empire. "

Prime Minister Maxim said comfortingly: "The armies of the three kingdoms of Inaba, Sharad, and Noomi have just repelled the attack of tens of millions of Tang Empire troops. The final outcome of this war is still unpredictable. As long as the Seven Nations Alliance With the victory, our Jisk Empire will definitely be able to make up for the loss with interest."

Emperor Lazarik said with some lack of confidence: "Don't look at the fact that the armies of the three kingdoms of Inlobal, Sharad, and Noomi relied on their solid defense lines to block the attack of tens of millions of Tang Empire troops, but don't forget The fortifications of the Tang Empire Army are no worse than the positions built by the armies of Yingluoba, Sharad, and Noomi. It is also very difficult for the armies of the three countries to break through the defense line of the Tang Empire Army. The key to this war is With the armies of the three countries of Yingluoba, Sharad, and Noomi, the Seven Nations Alliance wants to win the final victory, it is easier said than done!"

Prime Minister Maxim hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, no matter what, our Jisk Empire has already been tied to the other six countries, and it is impossible to withdraw at this time."

Emperor Lazaric smiled wryly and said: "I have no intention of withdrawing from the Seven Kingdoms Alliance. Now our Jisk Empire can only do our best to strengthen the strength of the Royal Army to prevent the invasion of the Tang Empire and the Ziyue Empire."

In order to break the stalemate in the Skystar Empire and contain more Jisk troops, the Royal Army of the Ziyue Empire also gathered [-] field infantry divisions and [-] temporary infantry divisions while attacking the mainland of the Orenza Empire. , into the territory of the Jisk Empire.

After Emperor Song Cui of the Skystar Empire officially issued the edict of surrender, the Royal Army of the Ziyue Empire also withdrew from the mainland of the Jisk Empire.

Prime Minister Maxim said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, according to the drawings given by the Sharad Empire, the arsenal of our Jisk Empire can already produce anti-tank guns, anti-tank mines and anti-tank grenades. With these types of weapons against tanks, Our Jisk Royal Army will definitely be able to block the armies of Datang and Ziyue on the border."

Emperor Lazarik then said: "In addition to the Royal Army, the strength of our Royal Jisk Navy must continue to be strengthened. The Prime Minister must have a deep understanding of the feeling of being blocked by the Ziyue Imperial Navy!"

Prime Minister Maxim said in a deep voice: "What Your Majesty said is true, ever since the Ziyue Empire Navy blocked the coast of our Gisk Empire, it is tantamount to completely cutting off the maritime trade of our Gisk Empire, and the economic loss caused is simply one. Astronomical figures, having a powerful navy is in the interests of our Gisk Empire!"

The Royal Gisk Navy had fought against the Independent Fleet twice outside of Kangshan Port and Anbo Port. As a result, the Royal Gisk Navy had suffered disastrous defeats both times.

After more than two years of recuperation, the current capital ship of the Jisk Royal Navy already has twelve super dreadnought battleships, eight battlecruisers, six dreadnought battleships, six former dreadnought battleships and seventeen ironclad battleships. Among them, eight ironclad battleships were originally sealed, and after being remodeled, they rejoined the sequence of the Royal Gisk Navy.

Emperor Lazarik asked: "Prime Minister, when will the twelve Scar-class super dreadnought battleships and twelve Coral-class battlecruisers be added to active duty?"

The twelve super dreadnought battleships currently in service in the Royal Gisk Royal Navy are all Cactus-class, equipped with five dual-mounted 45-fold caliber 343mm main guns, with a full-load displacement of 26900 tons, a maximum speed of 21 knots, and eight battleships The cruiser is a spear-class, equipped with four double-mounted 45mm main guns with a caliber of 343 times, a full-load displacement of 27800 tons, and a maximum speed of 26 knots.

The Scar and Coral classes being built by the Gisk Royal Navy have 356 mm main guns.

Prime Minister Maxim immediately said: "Your Majesty, the twelve Scar-class super dreadnought battleships and the twelve Coral-class battlecruisers have all been built and are undergoing final sea trials. If necessary, they can all join this month. Active duty in our Gisk Royal Navy."

Emperor Lazarik's eyes lit up, "So our Gisk Royal Navy will have 24 super dreadnought battleships and [-] battlecruisers immediately!"

Prime Minister Maxim nodded and said: "Your Majesty, it is true. After twelve Scar-class ships and twelve Coral-class ships enter service, our Gisk Empire will even temporarily become one of the seven-nation alliances, with super dreadnought battleships and battleships. The country with the most cruisers."

In the previous naval rankings of the four countries of Yingluoba, Sharad, Noomi, and Monia, which were higher than the Jisk Empire, in the battle with the navies of Datang and Ziyue, the super dreadnought battleships and battlecruisers There were heavy losses, such as the most powerful British Royal Navy, in the end only sixteen super dreadnought battleships and seven battlecruisers escaped.

A gleam of light suddenly flashed in Emperor Lazarik's eyes, "Prime Minister, do you think our Jisk Royal Navy can beat the Purple Moon Empire's navy?"

Prime Minister Maxim said with some surprise: "Your Majesty, although the three main fleets of the Ziyue Imperial Navy have not stayed in the waters of the Datang Empire, the first fleet of the Ziyue Imperial Navy alone has 36 super dreadnought battleships. With twelve battlecruisers, the strength is still much greater than that of our Jisk Royal Navy."

In that battle with the joint fleet of the five navies, the three main fleets of the Royal Navy of the Ziyue Empire suffered heavy losses. Enter the various shipyards of the Tang Empire for repairs.

Because the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire and the Royal Navy of the Ziyue Empire suffered so many serious injuries that the docks of the various shipyards of the Tang Empire were not enough, and there are still some seriously injured warships of the Royal Navy of the Ziyue Empire. Stay at a berth near the shipyard until a dock becomes available.

Now the three main fleets of the Royal Navy of the Ziyue Empire, and the five Zhanzi-class super dreadnought battleships that are about to join the first fleet of the Royal Navy of the Ziyue Empire are still in various ports of the Tang Empire.

Emperor Lazaric immediately said: "I don't want to rely on our Jisk Royal Navy to fight recklessly with the First Fleet of the Ziyue Imperial Navy. We can definitely join forces with the Orenza Navy, or even the Monia Navy and the Swiss Navy. The Irish Navy, let’s deal with the first fleet of the Purple Moon Empire Navy.”

Prime Minister Maxim frowned and said: "Your Majesty, the newly built super dreadnought battleships and battlecruisers of the Orenza Navy seem to have not been completed yet, and the Monia Navy and the Rielland Navy were lost in the previous sea battle. Seriously, are the navies of the three countries willing to fight a big battle with the Ziyue Empire navy at this time?"

Emperor Lazaric said: "Prime Minister, you can contact me to find out what the three kingdoms of Monia, Rielan and Orenza mean. Currently, the other three main fleets of the Ziyue Imperial Navy are not here. It is definitely annihilation or This is a great opportunity to severely damage the First Fleet of the Purple Moon Empire Navy!"

Prime Minister Maxim actually disapproved of Emperor Lazarik's plan. You must know that the First Fleet of the Purple Moon Empire Navy has 36 super dreadnought battleships and [-] battlecruisers. To defeat so many super dreadnought battleships and Battlecruisers, I don't know how much they have to pay.

However, Maxim still nodded to Emperor Lazarik and said: "The minister will contact the three countries of Monia, Rielan and Orensa as soon as possible to see if we can form a joint fleet of our four navies."

Emperor Lazarik then changed the subject, "Prime Minister, now that the construction of twelve Scar-class super dreadnought battleships and twelve Coral-class battlecruisers has been completed, will the Admiralty follow up with the construction of super dreadnought battleships and Battlecruiser plans?"

Prime Minister Maxim suddenly sighed, "Your Majesty, the Ministry of the Navy has completed the design of the next level of super dreadnought battleships and battlecruisers, and the new super dreadnought battleships and battlecruisers will have 381mm main guns, But now that the empire's finances are all spent on the Royal Army, there is no way to start construction of new super dreadnought battleships and battlecruisers in a short time."

Emperor Lazaric said categorically: "The pace of building super dreadnought battleships and battlecruisers cannot be stopped, and a batch of naval treasury bonds will be issued immediately to build super dreadnought battleships and battlecruisers with 381mm main guns, and at least Build twelve ships each!"

Prime Minister Maxim hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, we have issued a lot of national bonds before. If we continue to issue them, it will be more difficult to repay them in the future."

Emperor Lazarik waved his hand: "Without a strong navy, we would have to be blocked at home like we are now, so no matter how difficult it is, we must continue to strengthen the strength of our Royal Jisk Navy!"
