Munitions Empire

Chapter 1130: 1051 is too optimistic.

If the Great Tang Empire Navy launches an attack on Mirage Country, the closest and most direct target would be South Island. By-passing South Island and attacking New Island would be an almost impossible task due to the high cost.

Thus, simply by guarding South Island and Ben Island, New Island, situated between them, can be considered absolutely safe. There is no need to mention Northern Island. It would be foolish for the Great Tang Empire to set out and attack Northern Island after bypassing the other three islands.

After the presentation of defense deployments by the army, Navy generals also joined the discussion. This meeting was convened due to the escalating risk of war between the Great Tang Empire and Mirage Country.

“No one can attack the homeland of Mirage Country by getting past Mirage Country’s navy! Over the years, we’ve secretly built 5 super battleships, in addition to the original warships. With a total of 12 battleships, our absolute combat power is unmatched in the world!” Speaking on behalf of the Navy was the Supreme Commander Shen Haiping.

This veteran general’s capability was quite remarkable. Under his leadership, Mirage Country’s Navy stealthily constructed even larger battleships: The new warships employed 460mm caliber main guns and weighed over 40,000 tons!

Although they were not as magnificent as the Yamato-class battleships that Tang Mo was familiar with, the new-age Mirage Country battleships could still be counted among the most powerful in the world.

To meet the needs of modern naval warfare, Mirage Country’s new battleships were also equipped with numerous anti-aircraft guns, making them comparable to the Dongwan-class battleships of Mirage Country’s version.
