I am the emperor in Nanyang, I am the ultimate winner

The next morning, just as the sun rose, Navy Minister Feng Ziqi hurried to the Yanwu Palace.

After entering the palace, Feng Ziqi went straight to the meeting room.

There, he met Qin Ruihua and bowed to him.

"Your Majesty, I have brought you the latest intelligence."

"The joint fleet of the three countries has passed through the Red Sea from the Mediterranean Sea and is expected to arrive near our waters within a week."

Qin Ruihua frowned slightly, lit a cigarette, took a deep puff and asked, "I want to know what you have to say about this?"

Feng Ziqi took a deep breath and replied, "Your Majesty, due to the large disparity in fleet strength between the enemy and us, we have decided to adopt a near-sea combat strategy."

"According to the intelligence we have, the Kingdom of Jili has sent two Nelson-class battleships this time."

"These battleships displaced more than 23 tons fully loaded, but had a speed of only knots."

"They are equipped with three triple-mounted 406mm main guns, and their combat capability is quite strong."

"If we confront them head-on, I'm afraid we will have a hard time winning."

Then, Feng Ziqi continued to introduce: "At present, we have put into service two new generation cruisers (prototype Des Moines-class heavy cruisers)."

"Five new generation destroyers (prototype Gearing class destroyers) and ten submarines (prototype Type 21 submarines)."

“However, we lost one battleship in the last Malacca Strait War and another is under repair.”

"Comprehensively speaking, we have a total of 45 main battleships in service."

Air Force Minister Zheng Siyuan also stood up at this time: "Your Majesty, I have discussed with the Minister of the Navy and decided to hand over all the Navy's carrier-based aircraft to the Air Force for unified command and operations."

"We have produced more than 100 attack aircraft, in addition to other types of fighters, bombers and torpedo bombers."

"In this way, the number of fighter planes we can deploy will be around 500."

"We plan to have the Air Force gather these fighters, conduct a round of air strikes, and then return to base for resupply."

"Finally, we will launch a joint strike in coordination with the naval fleet."

Navy Minister Feng Ziqi responded immediately: "Your Majesty, our latest submarines are not easy to detect with the current anti-submarine technology of the three-nation joint fleet."

"In addition, we have many other torpedo boats of various sizes that can pose a great threat to the enemy."

“Taking everything into account, we have a great chance of winning this battle.”

After hearing this, Qin Ruihua pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Well, this war can only be won and not lost."

"If we fail, we will lose control of the oceans, with disastrous consequences."

"Let all shipyards work at full capacity and speed up the production of super battleships."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will take my leave."

With this response, the two ministers of the Navy and the Air Force immediately took action and began to prepare for the upcoming battle.

The Minister of the Army was silently preparing on the side in case the enemy landed on the island and launched an attack at any time.

When the meeting ended, Qin Ruihua quickly left the meeting room and went to the queen's bedroom.

At this time, the five aircraft carriers in the three-nation joint fleet were ready to go.

Each aircraft carrier can carry about thirty to forty carrier-based aircraft, but the performance of these carrier-based aircraft is relatively backward, and there is even a certain gap compared with Yan Country’s torpedo bombers.

However, the ten battleships of the Tripartite Fleet were a threat that could not be underestimated.

At the same time, Prussia's super battleship Pru followed closely behind the Three-Nation Combined Fleet, but always kept a safe distance.

Looking at the international situation, in addition to the countries mentioned above, other countries have also sent some warships.

These warships are either big or small, but without exception, they all come with the intention of watching the fun and getting involved.

Of course, there are also some people with ulterior motives who want to take this opportunity to observe the strength and fighting style of the Yan Kingdom Navy.

However, they did not dare to approach the war zone easily, because everyone knew that artillery shells had no eyes, and if they were hit accidentally, the consequences would be no joke.

Back in Yan State, people were also discussing the upcoming naval battle.

Although the government has tried its best to explain the situation to the public and called on everyone to remain calm.

But people's curiosity still makes this topic a hot topic on the streets.

"Did you hear that?"

"This time, the joint fleet of the three countries actually dispatched more than 200 warships! The scale is simply too scary!" a citizen exclaimed.

Another citizen echoed, "I heard that the three-nation coalition army still has ten battleships, while our country only has two battleships."

"It's not even a true battleship. It's no different from a battlecruiser."

"Don't worry, the government has said it has confidence, and we must trust the government."

"Yes, we should trust the country, do what we should do, and not cause trouble for the government."

"Let's all disperse."

At this time, Qin Ruihua had already arrived at the Queen's bedroom. When Xiao Zixuan saw Qin Ruihua coming, she immediately went to greet him: "Your Majesty, the whole country is now discussing this naval battle."

"Well, it's inevitable that there will be some discussion."

"There is one more thing. Can you let Fourth Brother go? If he continues like this, his life will be in danger."

"It doesn't matter. If he dies, he dies. Why not try drugs instead of anything else?" Qin Ruihua said indifferently.

"But……"

"No buts!" Qin Ruihua interrupted Xiao Zixuan.

Xiao Zixuan sighed. She knew Qin Ruihua's temper. Once he made a decision, he would not change it easily.

"Okay, I understand." Xiao Zixuan nodded helplessly.

Qin Ruihua looked at Xiao Zixuan, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes: "Don't worry too much, I will take care of this matter."

Xiao Zixuan nodded slightly, then leaned into Qin Ruihua's arms.

The two of them quietly enjoyed the tranquility of the moment.

As for why they didn't seek help from Prussia this time, after all, the last time they helped they were just standing in line.

This time the war has really begun, and Yan State is confident that it can win this naval battle.

At the same time, he also didn't want to owe Prussia a favor because of this naval battle.

If someone comes to me for a loan again, should I refuse or agree?

This made him feel very conflicted.

You have to know that the loan from Prussia is not a small amount. The last time they asked for a loan, it was 2 billion. If I agree to them, it will undoubtedly bring me huge pressure and risks.

For a country like Prussia, such a huge loan would probably be difficult to repay.

If the loan amount is too small, it may not be of much help to Prussia, but may make people feel that it is not sincere enough.

Therefore, instead of getting into this dilemma, it would be better to directly reject Prussia's request.
