Three months later.

The expedition fleet of Wancheng Kingdom, which set off to Dongyuan Continent, returned in triumph.

With extremely slight losses, he achieved a glorious victory!

Dongyuanzhou suffered extremely heavy losses. There were three battles, three major defeats, and more than 1,000 Lingyuan battleships were destroyed.

Wan Chengguo's losses were only more than 10 ships.

An astonishing battle loss ratio of 100:1!

The various fleets in Dongyuanzhou, whose confidence collapsed, fled frantically when they encountered the Wancheng Kingdom expedition fleet, and collapsed at the first touch.

Completely lost the courage to be tough.

It can be said that the army was defeated.

Wan Chengguo's expeditionary fleet marched all the way to Huanglong and reached the vicinity of Xiaoyao Palace, forcing Jiang Ruyue to send an envoy to sue for peace and express her willingness to agree to all conditions.

Including compensation for losses and handing over all technical personnel.

If the expedition fleet chooses to ignore it, it can directly destroy Xiaoyao Palace.

The commander of the expedition fleet had this intention, but the nine heads of state desperately came to help and spent their money to build a huge air force with 5,000 Lingyuan battleships.

To annihilate this huge army, the expedition fleet will inevitably pay a heavy price.

After all, the main gun burst rate of fire of the expedition fleet's 500 Type 5 Lingyuan battleships is three rounds in five minutes. If 5,000 Lingyuan battleships swarmed up, only a small half of them would be wiped out. When the remaining battleships approach, the two sides will fight in close combat. It will lose its previous technological advantages and may be overwhelmed by massive enemies.

Considering this, the expedition fleet retreated slightly, not choosing to attack by force, but just like a hunter, looking for flaws and opportunities.

On the other side of Dongyuanzhou, it was really painful and frightening to be beaten!

powerful!

Wancheng Kingdom is very strong.

Almost life-threatening!

The power of Wancheng's new Lingyuan battleship brought them nightmare-like fear.

Even if you risk your life and do whatever it takes, you can only exchange dozens or hundreds of Lingyuan warships for the destruction of one of the other side.

How can such a disparity in exchange ratio not make people feel despair and collapse?

Speaking of how the expedition fleet of Wancheng Kingdom suddenly became so powerful, you must know that when the fleets of the two sides fought in Beiyuanzhou, the exchange ratio was usually 3:1 or 5:1, and the maximum was 10:1. How did it change today? It's dozens to one, hundreds to one?

You must know that Dongyuanzhou has made great progress in the past five years. It has completely solved the problem of controlling the launch time interval of the Super Lingyuan Cannon, and its accuracy and power have been greatly improved. Dongyuanzhou's senior officials are full of confidence and feel that they can definitely defeat Wanwan. Take advantage of the country.

The result was such a bolt from the blue.

This is related to the new type five Lingyuan battleship in service with the Wancheng Kingdom Expeditionary Fleet, which is equipped with several new types of equipment and the new combat methods adopted.

For example, over-the-horizon radar can detect enemies 250 miles away and five times beyond the visual range.

There is also a fire control radar, which can calculate valuable data such as the enemy warship's orientation, distance, altitude, speed, etc. These data can be imported into the control system of the new super Lingyuan gun. Once the target is locked and fired, even if the target is 200 miles away , there is also a certain possibility of hitting the target.

Of course, this hit rate is definitely not high, but the target can be destroyed through concentrated fire from multiple ships.

Especially if 500 Type 5 warships open fire at the same time, enemy targets 200 miles away may not be able to react at all. They will be taken away by a wave before they have time to react.

However, the whole-fleet salvo tactics are very difficult to command. After all, the commander has to issue orders to each warship in a short period of time. During the order transmission process, if traditional flag language command is used, it is impossible to achieve a salvo of fire.

If wireless telegraphy is used, there will be electromagnetic interference between neighboring warships, resulting in blurred and delayed information, and the propagation distance will not be long.

The emergence of wireless psychic wave telegraphy perfectly solved the problem of synchronous command.

The signal is clear and the interference is minimal. Of course, there is also the problem of short propagation distance, but within a radius of 20 kilometers, there is no need to worry about command issues.

It was precisely by relying on high-tech equipment such as radar locking and wireless psychic wave telegraphy, as well as the "over-the-horizon fire salvo" tactics based on these equipment, that the Wanchengguo expedition fleet crushed and defeated the Dongyuanzhou native army. .

If the battleships of the expedition fleet were not all insufficient in strength, the Wancheng Kingdom expedition fleet could really devour Dongyuan Continent in this battle.

You don’t even need too many supporting troops. As long as there are 1,000 type five battleships, you can definitely destroy Dongyuanzhou!

But after three months of fighting, and after Xiaoyao Palace bowed its head and gave in, the expedition fleet regretfully withdrew.

With such a good situation, why did you choose to withdraw your troops?

Mainly for two reasons.

One is that the soldiers consume too much and consume too much soul power. In a high-intensity war, the soldiers on a Lingyuan battleship must not only maintain the battleship in a long-term flight state, but also control the firing of various weapons. If these are combined, Soldiers are like "batteries", and there is an upper limit to how long they can continue to work.

Generally, after about three months, you need to take a good rest.

Two, the expeditionary fleet's war goal has basically been achieved, and there is no need to continue the war.

What purpose?

The purpose of teaching Dongyuanzhou a lesson!

The other is to force the other party to apologize, compensate, and return all technical personnel.

As for swallowing up Dong Yuan Continent... this goal was not included in the war plan from the beginning, because Dong Yuan Continent is not that easy to swallow up. If it pursues this goal, the expedition fleet will face heavy casualties and even fall into the quagmire of war.

A continent with a radius of one million miles and a population of 6 billion cannot be swallowed up by hundreds of advanced warships.

However, seeing how quickly Xiaoyao Palace gave in, Wan Chengguo's negotiators made a few more demands in addition to the original three.

For example, Dong Yuanzhou was asked to reduce the fleet size to less than 2,000 ships.

For example, the soul stone mine with tens of thousands of tons of reserves left was ceded to Wan Chengguo.

In addition, in order to prevent Dong Yuan Continent from invading Wan Cheng Kingdom, hundreds of cities in the western border of Dong Yuan Continent must also be ceded to Wan Cheng Kingdom, etc.

If Zhou Ming were to evaluate the above conditions, it would be in eight words: ceding land and paying compensation, losing power and humiliating the country.

Will Jiang Ruyue agree?

Of course, it was impossible to agree. If she dared to nod that way, she might be immediately pushed down from the supreme throne.

After discussing with the nine heads of state, she finally agreed to only a few.

1. Compensation of 10 trillion spiritual coins as the loss of Wancheng Kingdom.

2. Send back the more than 100,000 technical talents.

3. You can export 100 tons of soul stones to Wancheng Country every year at a more favorable price (export has been prohibited before).

All other conditions are rejected.

If the Wancheng Kingdoms are forced to fight against each other, then the two continents will perish together and fight to the death!

After all, there are still 5,000 Lingyuan warships left in Dongyuanzhou. These warships spread out and invaded Wancheng Kingdom. Can Wancheng Kingdom stop them all?

Seeing that Xiaoyao Palace had a tough attitude and could not get any more benefits, Wan Chengguo's negotiators had no choice but to return to their country with these results.

Cheng Zhiyuan thought he could agree to it. The number of Lingyuan battleships in Dongyuan Continent exceeded 5,000, which was far beyond his expectation. If he continued to fight, the expedition fleet might not be able to hold on. The remaining forces in the country were not large enough, and it would be difficult to defend the homeland. They would have to devour them. Dongyuanzhou must expand its army several times.

Domestic public opinion does not support a protracted war.

It's better to accept it when you see it first, and figure it out later.

So a week later, the two countries signed the Agreement of Understanding.

Half a month later, a large number of technical talents who were originally plundered to Dongyuan Continent were sent back to Wancheng Kingdom in multiple batches. Most of the returnees were happy, and some brought their wives and children, which led to the eventual return to Wancheng Kingdom. The number of people exceeds 200,000.

Wancheng's country was filled with cheers.

The image of the military has been greatly improved, triggering an upsurge in joining the military.

The country's reputation has also reached its highest level in history.

In addition, the more than 100,000 technical talents who returned through the rescue also taught the domestic people a wonderful lesson in patriotism.

By punishing Dong Yuanzhou for the battle, Wan Chengguo gained far more than it lost.

…

Dongyuanzhou on the other side.

The atmosphere was depressing and the whole country was silent.

The tragic failure makes people feel sad, angry and humiliated.

It seems that there is something engraved in people's hearts.

shame.

Yes it is a shame.

A shame I had never experienced before.

The pride of the noble upper class was trampled into the mud.

Among them, the one who suffered the biggest blow was undoubtedly Jiang Ruyue, the master of Xiaoyao Palace.

Of course, in front of the ministers, she still looked calm and calm as usual, handling various official duties normally, arranging various aftermath matters, visiting factories, comforting people, and numbing herself with crazy work.

Only when she entered the high tower and visited her mother, she took off the mask and cried bitterly while hugging her mother.

She whimpered and said:

"Five thousand Lingyuan warships, a total of five thousand!"

"There are three thousand more ships than I guessed!"

"If all these battleships were in my hands, how could I be defeated so miserably?"

"Traitors, those nine traitors! Damn, all of them deserve to die!"

Seeing her daughter gritting her teeth and looking ferocious, the woman advised, "Didn't they all come to your rescue? Don't say that."

"What rescue? They are just afraid that after the fall of Xiaoyao Palace, the Demon Suppression Tower will be controlled by Wancheng Kingdom. If this tower is opened or destroyed by others, how can the nine traitors sit and sleep? Are they not just trying to protect themselves? His life?!"

"Traitors! Even if these nine traitors cannot destroy the Wancheng Kingdom, I will definitely get rid of them first. I must get rid of them!"

Jiang Ruyue felt the pain. This tragic defeat made her realize: If Dongyuanzhou cannot integrate all the power of Dongyuanzhou, no matter how strong Dongyuanzhou is, it will not be the opponent of Wanchengguo!

Because those nine traitors, apart from hiding their strength, will only hold her back!

Get rid of them, they must be killed!

Jiang Ruyue swore in her heart.

"Hey, my silly daughter~"

Jiang Ruonan sighed and hugged his daughter tightly. This daughter inherited her father's intelligence and her own stubbornness. She was kind-hearted and sometimes unscrupulous.

I really don’t know if this is a good thing or a bad thing?

She asked for nothing but that her daughter would be safe.

For others, I don’t dare to hope.

If it could help her, she would move forward without hesitation even if she risked her life.
