In the early morning of December 25, the seas in the central Yanhai.

Under the dawn, a battleship with a spectacular superstructure was racing westward through the waves. Not far away, a light cruiser sounded its whistle. On the farther sea, there was another towering giant ship, the sister ship of the fleet's flagship "Damen", and the "Luo", which belongs to the first battle line. On the nearby sea, dozens of cruisers and destroyers were sparsely distributed.

That's right, this is the main force of the Navy's permanent fleet, to be precise, part of the main force.

Before dawn, Takano came to the corridor outside the commander's bridge.

In fact, he didn't fall asleep all night.

Not only because of excitement, but also because of anxiety.

The past ten days, strictly speaking, are the past few months. It can be said that the storm and clouds have happened one after another. Several major events have been swept and destroyed the international order established by the "Seba Peace Treaty" and the "Huacheng Treaty", and once again pushed the world to the brink of war.

At the end of September, Takano learned that the Liangxia Empire and the Luosha Federation were plotting a war.

The Liangxia Empire and the Luosha Federation plan to work together to challenge the whole world?

In fact, after the end of the last war, the Bran Kingdom formed an alliance with the Nayi Empire, and with the addition of the Newland Federation, it evolved into the "Second Alliance Group". Since then, the Liangxia Empire has formed an alliance with the Luosha Federation and the overall situation of challenging other great powers back to back has been formed.

For this reason, the outside world also calls the alliance formed by these two countries the "continental core group".

It was also from this time that the three countries in the alliance set their sights on the mainland core groups.

Three years ago, when he was determined to withdraw from the "Wallon restricted naval armament system", the Nayi Empire began to actively contact another mainland country group, namely the Rock Republic, and the "Western Continental Axis Group" composed of the Taurus Empire, to explore whether there is any possibility of alliance.

At the beginning, the Nayi Empire just hoped to use the Western Axis Group to offset the negative impact of withdrawal from the Warren system.

Unexpectedly, after the Nayi Empire took the lead, the Alliance Group quickly got together with the Axis Group.

The Alliance Group has always regarded the Liangxia Empire as the number one emperor. After all, looking at the world, only the Liangxia Empire has the ability to challenge the Alliance Group's maritime hegemony. The Axis Group regards the Luosha Federation as its mortal enemy, because the army of the Luosha Federation may be at the gates at any time.

With a common enemy, everything is easy to say.

Although the Alliance Group and the Axis Group have not been merged together, there are many differences after all. For example, the Tsuman Empire insisted that the League of Nations would return the islands trusted by the Southwest of the East and the Southwest to the Saiyi Empire after the war, otherwise they would not have signed an alliance treaty with the Saiyi Empire. However, in essence, these two groups have come together and become de facto allies through cross-alignment.

It can be seen that the Liangxia Empire and the Luosha Federation are enemies of all the great powers and are surrounded by other great powers.

A war is certainly unavoidable, and what needs to be cared about is how to break out.

The Luosha Federation actively showed goodwill to the Liangxia Empire, and it is understandable that the Tyman Empire and the Rock Republic in the west have formed an alliance, and the threat posed by them cannot be ignored. If you do not reconcile with the Liangxia Empire, the Luosha Federation will be attacked on both sides, let alone the Tyman Empire and the Liangxia Empire were originally allies.

It would be unreasonable for the Liangxia Empire to let go of its stature and form an alliance with the Luosha Federation.

Don’t forget that even at its heyday, Luo Sha failed to defeat the Liangxia Empire, and the threat to the Liangxia Empire could be said to be minimal. Besides, the Luo Sha Federation raised the banner of anti-imperialism and anti-hegemony, calling on civilians to turn over and become masters, and clearly regarded the empire as enemies.

From another perspective, why didn’t the Liangxia Empire choose to continue to form an alliance with the Tiaoman Empire?

After stabilizing the Rock Republic, the Tyman Empire had no worries and could concentrate its forces to attack the Luosha Federation. Then in the next battle, the Liangxia Empire and the Tyman Empire were very sure to quickly defeat the Luosha Federation, and dominate the huge continent and the Western continent.

In addition, the Thuman Navy can also restrain the Bran Navy and the Newland Navy in Xiluoyang and share the worries of the Liangxia Empire.

It can be seen that no matter how you look at it, the Liangxia Empire should continue to pursue the strategy of alliance with the Tiaoman Empire and should not secretly communicate with Luosha Federation.

At first, Takano couldn't figure it out.

After more than ten years of observation, he came to an astonishing conclusion: the Liangxia Empire had no intention of forming an alliance with anyone.

Don't want allies, fight the whole world alone!?

If you want to say, only the Liangxia Empire has the courage or ability.

After twenty years of rapid and stable development, according to the estimates of private institutions, the total population of the Liangxia Empire is likely to have exceeded 500 million.

What is this concept?

Without counting the colonial population, the population of the top five in the West is not as large as that.

The Newland Federation is less than 200 million, the Tyman Empire is about 80 million, the Naoyi Empire is 70 million, the Rock Republic is 50 million, and the Bran Kingdom is less than 50 million.

In total, it is only 450 million.

If the Luosha Federation is added, it is less than 600 million, which is only less than 100 million more people than the Liangxia Empire.

In addition, the Liangxia Empire's industrial level is also the highest in the world.

Although there is no exact data, according to the main industrial output value estimates released by the Liangxia Empire authorities, its industrial level has exceeded 80%.

What's the meaning?

Of the 500 million people, there are 400 million industrial populations.

The industrial level of the Naoyi Empire was less than 50%, the Luosha Federation was not much better, the Tyman Empire and the Rock Republic were both about 60%, the Bran Kingdom barely reached 70%, and the Newland Federation, which had the fastest development, was less than 80%.

This means that the industrial population of the Liangxia Empire is more than the sum of the other six great powers!

This is reflected in the industrial output value.

If the industrial output value of the Liangxia Empire is regarded as one hundred, the Newland Federation is about sixty, the Tsuman Empire and the Luosha Federation are both around forty, and the other three powerful countries are less than thirty. The Nayi Empire has a maximum of twenty, that is, the industrial capacity of the Nayi Empire is only one-fifth of that of the Liangxia Empire.

The key is that this is the industrial production capacity of the Liangxia Empire during peacetime.

Because the service industry is very developed and a large number of people are engaged in the tertiary industry, after entering a state of war, the industrial production capacity of the Liangxia Empire could be greatly increased.

If the production efficiency is roughly the same, the industrial productivity that the Liangxia Empire broke out in a state of war was almost the sum of other great powers.

This is too scary!

There is no doubt that this is the confidence of the Liangxia Empire to fight the whole world alone.

In fact, this also illustrates the basic strategy of the Liangxia Empire from one aspect.

Looking around the world, there is only one country that has the ability to confront the Liangxia Empire, and this country is on the other side of the east, that is, the Newland Federation.

No matter how the next war is fought, the Liangxia Empire must first defeat its most powerful opponent.

Then, the Liangxia Empire needed a navy that could sweep the entire East Ocean and even dominate the whole world.

This is the key to the Liangxia Empire's willingness to form an alliance with the Luosha Federation, thereby eliminating threats from the ground and concentrating its efforts to build a navy that swept across the seas.
