At the highest military meeting of the Lions Empire, Imperial Navy Commander-in-Chief Bromeyer crossed his fingers and thought about how to promote his combat plan.
To add insult to injury to the Tang Empire and gain more benefits was the development plan that Lanes I had in mind. Judging from Bunas's experience, archaeological technology of the Tang Empire was obviously a shortcut to the south.
Relying on the various industrial facilities left behind by the Tang Empire in Bunas, the Lions Empire has firmly established itself as the world's second most technologically powerful country.
Don't laugh, just from the perspective of experience and manufacturing technology, the workers who did not leave with the Datang Group and the mechanical equipment of Bunas left a lot of technical heritage to the Lions Empire.
With these foundations, the engine of the Lions Empire is still the third best after the Tang Empire and Cyric.
In addition, many of the Lions Empire's technologies such as steel and wood processing were learned from the Datang Group, and their economic prosperity is also higher than that of other countries.
Therefore, many decision-makers up and down the Lines regard copying the Tang Empire, learning from the Tang Empire, copying the Datang Empire... and even seizing the Datang Empire again as necessary steps for their rise.
They had driven away Tang Mo's Datang Group, so they had no way to continue to intervene when the Datang Empire rose in the Western Continent.
Now the opportunity has come. The leaked modern military technology of the Tang Empire has given various countries the ability to project firepower farther and more powerfully. This has given the Lions Empire a little theoretical basis for its delusion of coveting Dragon Island.
As long as it has superiority in sea and air, the Lions Empire is confident that it has the ability to deliver more than 100,000 troops to Dragon Island in one go.
And if these troops can control Dragon Island, then all the technology, infrastructure, and industrial facilities of the Datang Group on Dragon Island will become the cornerstone of the rise of the Lions Empire again!
Think about it, that is a huge oil base! Those are two large industrial cities that the Tang Empire has operated for more than ten years! They are the largest island in the middle of the endless sea, and the most advanced naval and air force bases!
With these, the Lions Empire will definitely be the leader of the Eastern Continent in the future, a giant empire that can be on par with the Qin Empire that annexed the Tang Empire!
Even...if the Tang Empire is willing to cede Dragon Island and transfer all its advanced technology, then the Lions Empire can even turn against Qin at a critical moment and sell out the Qin Kingdom...
In short, the idea is very good, and as long as it is done properly, everyone in the Lions Empire believes that it is entirely possible for them to gain enough benefits in the next war.
As a veteran, Bloemeyer is still very capable. After taking over the navy of the Lions Empire, he carried out drastic reforms and improved the navy's combat effectiveness.
In the last anti-Tang war, the battleships of the Lines Empire were attacked by submarines of the Tang Empire and suffered heavy losses.
Therefore, the Lions Imperial Navy, which had a relatively small fortune, started a new round of shipbuilding plan: they reinforced three new types of battleships and focused on cruisers.
Blomire knew that if he competed with the Dornish Empire, which had many ports in the south, he would have no chance of winning, so he built the Lions Empire Navy into a war-breaking navy.
A large number of cruisers can spread out after the war breaks out, sneak attack Dorne's fragile transportation lines, sneak attack coastal areas, and cause a lot of trouble.
But who knew that the war between the Lions Empire and the Dorne Empire would not break out, but the war between the Lions Empire and the Tang Empire would probably start first.
Facing the powerful Tang Imperial Navy, the Lines Empire's navy had almost no chance of winning: against all odds, after the war began, the Lines Empire could only muster 5 aircraft carriers with different capabilities, 6 battleships, and more than 40 battleships.
A cruiser.
Such a lineup is only a little stronger than the Qin Navy, and there is almost no chance of winning against the Tang Empire Navy.
Therefore, Bloemeyer carefully formulated a combat plan and prepared to present it at this combat meeting.
"The army's landing requires at least 3,000 transport ships. If the navy can ensure the safety of these transport ships, then the army is still confident that it can defeat the Tang Empire's garrison on Dragon Island." The army general was full of confidence.
The reason why he was so sure was because he simply did not believe that the navy was capable of completing this large-scale cross-sea landing transportation.
This is a subtle move to shirk the blame. The Navy can't do it anyway, so the Army will blow the blame more easily. The final landing plan doesn't need to be implemented anyway, right?
According to the Army's landing plan, it is almost impossible to transport 120,000 troops to Long Island at one time and at least 300 tanks.
With the terrifying national power of the Tang Empire, they only transported less than 200,000 people and a few hundred tanks to the Mirage Kingdom at one time. Even if the Lions Empire's navy doubled, it would not be able to guarantee the safety of a transport fleet of this size along the way.
Are you kidding me, do you think that the fleet of the Tang Empire is just a piece of trash from the Mirage Kingdom? They lost all their sea control in one fell swoop?
Even if only half of the Tang Empire's fleet remained, in conjunction with submarines... the Lions Empire's landing fleet would not be able to successfully complete the operational plan to land on Dragon Island without any damage.
Listening to the army generals saying "As long as I am invincible, I can defeat the Tang army", Lions I also felt inexplicably irritable.
If he had the strength to severely damage the Tang Empire's navy, why would he wait until today? Oh, after a long time, I went to defeat Dongfang Bubai and then come back to learn the skills, right?
"Your Majesty, why don't you listen to the navy's opinion?" Feeling that the army generals were getting more and more outrageous, Prime Minister Lines lowered his voice and suggested.
Lions I also thought it was reasonable, so he looked at Blomeier, the navy confidant he had single-handedly promoted.
Blomeier knew it was his turn to perform, so after coughing slightly, he took over the topic from the army generals and said: "Recently, the Navy is considering a more bold plan."
"In a head-on battle, there is no guarantee that the naval fleet can defeat the Tang Empire's main fleet...but we can change our thinking." Bloemeyer paused for a moment, and seeing that everyone was looking at him, he continued to speak.
Said: "If we can take advantage of the fact that the Tang Empire is not ready... we can sneak attack on Dragon Island!"
