The end of the military era

Annott, the First Vice Minister of the Flying Leopard Empire's Navy, said at this time: "It is indeed not an easy task to form the Six Nations Joint Expeditionary Force, especially among our six Spirit Race countries, some countries are very selfish."

After speaking, Annott glanced at Yegor, the First Vice Minister of the Navy of the Silver Wolf Empire.

Annott's action was very obvious, Yegor snorted coldly and said: "General Annott, what do you mean when you look at me and say such a thing?"

Annott curled his lips and said: "The Barbarian Bull Empire kindly helped your Silver Wolf Empire to wipe out the human rebels.

As a result, when the human rebel army in your Silver Wolf Empire invaded the province of New Wilk of the Bull Empire, your Silver Wolf Empire's army stopped its campaign. Isn't this selfish?

If you ask me, it would be better to form a five-nation joint expeditionary force. Let such an ungrateful country join the joint expeditionary force, it would be better not to have it! "

"Slap" Yegor, the first deputy minister of the Silver Wolf Empire Navy, slapped the table hard, "Annott, don't spit blood!

Our Royal Army of the Silver Wolf Empire had more than 100 million casualties in the previous campaign. Now our Royal Army of the Silver Wolf Empire is just resting and will launch a new round of encirclement and suppression against the human rebels soon! "

Vikasa, the first deputy minister of the army of the Bull Empire, then said in a deep voice: "General Yegor, I think General Annott actually has some truths.

The 11 armies of our Royal Army of the Bull Empire in the Bauhinia Province of your Silver Wolf Empire have been surrounded by the superior forces of the Human Rebel Army, and their losses have been extremely heavy.

I don't know when the reinforcements from your Silver Wolf Empire will leave? "

Facing Annott of the Flying Leopard Empire, Yegor could fight the case, but facing Vikasa of the Bull Empire, Yegor was a little guilty.

Regardless of the fact that the Barbarian Bull Empire sent troops to help the Silver Wolf Empire wipe out the human rebels this time, the relationship between the Barbarian Bull Empire and the Silver Wolf Empire is not very good.

Fifteen years ago, a war broke out between the Bull Empire and the Silver Wolf Empire, and the Silver Wolf Empire, which was defeated in the end, ceded 15 square kilometers of land in the Phalaenopsis Province to the Bull Empire.

When the Silver Wolf Empire learned that the human rebel army in its territory had gathered millions of troops and invaded the New Wilk Province of the Bull Empire, the senior executives of the Silver Wolf Empire were secretly delighted.

The Silver Wolf Empire has gone through two wars with the Flying Leopard Empire, plus the fierce battles with the human rebels in the territory in the past few years, which has caused the national strength of the Silver Wolf Empire to decline severely.

This made the senior executives of the Silver Wolf Empire worry that other orc nations would take advantage of the fire, such as the Bull Empire, which had a long border with the Silver Wolf Empire.

The human rebel army in the territory went to attack the Barbarian Bull Empire. For the Silver Wolf Empire, it was like a disaster moving eastward.

The upper echelons of the Silver Wolf Empire wished to drive all the human rebels in the territory to the Barbarian Bull Empire.

Yegor, the First Deputy Minister of the Navy of the Silver Wolf Empire, was a little embarrassed, and Vikasa, the first deputy minister of the Army of the Bull Empire, said to him: "General Vikasa, I am the general of the navy. Regarding the arrangement of the Royal Army of the Silver Wolf Empire, In fact, it is not clear.

I will contact the country as soon as possible to find out when the troops of the 11 army groups of the Barbaric Bull Empire will set off? "

Vikasa said angrily: "When the reinforcements from the Silver Wolf Empire set off, the 11 army groups of the Royal Army of the Bull Empire may have been eaten by the human rebels!"

The second vice minister of the Navy of the Red Tiger Empire, Pogue, coughed and said: "How to deal with the human resistance army, I think General Vikasa and General Yegor should discuss it in private!

Regarding the establishment of the Six Nations Joint Expeditionary Force, is there any country that disagrees?

If you disagree, please raise your hand. "

The representatives of the six orc nations looked at each other, but none of them raised their hands.

Pogue then smiled and said to Raff, the First Deputy Minister of the Navy Department of the Golden Lion Empire: "General Raff, since the six countries agree.

Then it will be up to you, the host, to preside over the formation of our Six Nations Joint Expeditionary Force! "

In the evening of the same day, at the Governor's Mansion in Morningstar City, Raff reported to Kosnohui, Governor of the Golden Lion Empire: "Governor, the other five countries have agreed to form a six-nation joint expedition against the Zhou family of the Han and Tang Empires.

However, the representatives of each country have not yet reached an agreement on the proportion and scale of troops that each country should send, as well as the distribution of benefits after the war.

Moreover, the differences are relatively large now, and it may not be possible to negotiate a result in a short period of time. "

Governor Kosno said: "There is no need to worry about the establishment of the Six Nations Joint Expeditionary Force, you can discuss it slowly.

However, regarding the shipbuilding competition, it is best to discuss it with the other five Spirit Race countries first. If we, the Golden Lion Empire, the Red Tiger Empire, and the Black Bear Empire, continue this shipbuilding competition, maybe the financial situation of our three countries will will all crash. "

Raff nodded, "Today, I have disclosed the matter of discussing the shipbuilding competition with Pogue, the second vice minister of the navy of the Red Tiger Empire, and Murka, the second vice minister of the navy of the Black Bear Empire.

Judging from what they mean, the Red Tiger Empire and the Black Bear Empire should also very much want to end this shipbuilding competition. "

"Raff, your next focus is to end this damn shipbuilding competition with the Red Tiger Empire, the Black Bear Empire, and even the other three Spirit Race nations.

As for the formation of the Six-Nation Joint Expeditionary Force, it is temporarily put in the second place. "

Chapter 2 Naval Limitation Treaty

The Scarlet Tiger Empire and the Black Bear Empire faced an increasingly fierce shipbuilding competition, but it was already somewhat unsustainable.

不然也不会在金狮帝国宣布建造40艘龙狮级全主炮战列舰和40艘轻骑兵级战列巡洋舰之后，赤虎帝国只准备建造24艘拥有380毫米主炮的全主炮战列舰和24艘拥有380毫米主炮的战列巡洋舰。

Although the Black Bear Empire's financial situation is better, it is only planning to build 36 battleships with 380mm main guns and 36 battlecruisers with 380mm main guns.

The Red Tiger Empire and the Black Bear Empire are of course willing to accept the olive branch offered by the Golden Lion Empire.

Therefore, the Golden Lion Empire, Scarlet Tiger Empire, and Black Bear Empire first reached a consensus on the issue of the shipbuilding competition, and then discussed this issue with the Flying Leopard Empire, Silver Wolf Empire, and Barbarian Bull Empire.

The Flying Leopard Empire and the Silver Wolf Empire had already fallen behind in this shipbuilding competition, while the Bull Empire did not participate in this shipbuilding competition at all.

Regarding the end of this shipbuilding competition, the Flying Leopard Empire, the Silver Wolf Empire, and the Barbarian Bull Empire did not raise any objections.

On January 1543, 1 in Tianyuan, representatives of the six orc nations signed a six-nation naval restriction treaty at the Governor's Mansion in Morning Star City of the Golden Lion Empire after consultations, valid for 12 years.

This treaty stipulates that the number of battleships of the Golden Lion Empire must not exceed 500, the number of battleships of the Red Tiger Empire must not exceed 400, and the number of battleships of the Black Bear Empire must not exceed 350.

The number of battleships of the Flying Leopard Empire and the Silver Wolf Empire must not exceed 300, and the number of battleships of the Bull Empire must not exceed 250.

The capital ship here refers to only the battleship with main guns and the battlecruiser. The all-steel battleship has been reduced to a secondary capital ship by the navies of the six orc nations.

In these six orc nations, except for the Brute Bull Empire, although the capital ships of the navies of the other five orc nations have not reached the number stipulated in the treaty, the remaining space is not too much.

As long as the five orc nations can abide by this naval restriction treaty, the shipbuilding competition will no longer be able to continue.

As for the navy of the Bull Empire, there are currently only 38 battleships with full main guns, and not a single battlecruiser, so there is a lot of space.

It's a pity that the navy of the Bull Empire still insists on building an offshore defensive navy with destroyers and torpedo boats as the main combat ships. The limit of 250 capital ships is even too much for the navy of the Bull Empire .

Anyway, the navy of the Buffalo Empire still has no plans to build a battleship with full main guns or a battlecruiser in a short period of time.

In addition, the Naval Limitation Treaty of the Six Nations also stipulated that the tonnage of the capital ships of each country should be limited. The full-load displacement should not exceed 4 tons, and the caliber of the main gun should not exceed 400 mm.

The all-steel battleships among the secondary capital ships are not allowed to be built by other countries. The large armored cruisers among the secondary capital ships must not exceed 2 tons of full-load displacement, and the caliber of the main gun cannot exceed 230 mm.

For other types of warships of the six orc nations, the six-nation naval restriction treaty does not involve them.

In fact, according to the current scale of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet, they are fully qualified to join the Naval Restriction Treaty. However, the six orc nations sent representatives to gather in Morning Star City of the Golden Lion Empire mainly to deal with the Zhou family of the Han and Tang Empires.

In the eyes of the six orc nations, there is no need to impose any restrictions on the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet, because a naval fleet that is about to be destroyed, the naval restriction treaty has no meaning for it.

The Six Nations Naval Restriction Treaty had just been signed, and a very bad news for the Bull Empire reached Morningstar City.
