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

Chapter 240 Battleship Yamato

Inside the Dongyang State’s headquarters.

The Minister of the Army, Kiyotaka Watanabe, had rushed back from the distant Kingdom of Goryeo. He was now standing in the spacious and bright conference room, reporting the latest war situation to everyone with a serious expression.

He said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty! The fact that Annan and Dazhou took the initiative to withdraw from the coalition camp has undoubtedly relieved a huge amount of pressure on us."

"Not only that, the new fighter jets provided by the Kingdom of Lijian have also arrived. With these powerful air forces, it should not be a problem to defend the Kingdom of Goryeo."

After hearing this, Emperor Ito Eiji nodded slightly, expressing his satisfaction. A rare look of relief appeared on his face, and he said with emotion: "Yoshi, this is the only good news I have heard in recent months."

Then, he turned his gaze to the Navy Minister Yamamoto Noriyuki beside him and asked anxiously, "So, what is the current situation of the Navy?"

Yamamoto Noriyuki stood up and replied with a heavy face: "Your Majesty, unfortunately, many of our important shipyards have been severely damaged or even destroyed, causing the speed of shipbuilding to slow down significantly."

"So far, we have lost three aircraft carriers, two battleships, and five cruisers. More than sixty other types of ships have been destroyed."

Upon hearing this, the emperor's face darkened instantly, and he angrily asked, "You really disappoint me!"

"Most of the empire's military budget is invested in your navy, but you have delivered such a terrible report card?"

Navy Minister Yamamoto Noriyuki quickly bowed and responded respectfully: "Your Majesty, please calm down."

"Although the current situation is tense, we are not powerless to fight back."

"Now, we have successfully acquired advanced radar technology from the United States, which will greatly enhance our ability to control the dynamics of Yan's fighter jets."

"In addition, it is fortunate that the carefully constructed and highly confidential Yamato battleship shipyard was not damaged by enemy attacks."

"You know, the location of this shipyard is extremely hidden, and it is difficult for ordinary people to detect its existence."

"More importantly, this plan is to build a total of three Yamato battleships, two of which are nearing completion."

"It is estimated that it will only take a few months for them to be completed and put into use."

"When that time comes, it may be the key moment for us to turn the tide of the battle!"

Emperor Ito Eiji nodded slightly to show his approval of the words, but his face still showed worry.

He said softly: "I hope everything is as you said. However, the reality is worrying."

"At present, all kinds of industrial and civil infrastructure in our country have suffered heavy losses, and the economic losses caused are astronomical and difficult to estimate."

"Tens of millions of people have been displaced and lost their homes."

"At the same time, Dazhou and Annan unexpectedly chose to withdraw from the coalition camp midway... Under this circumstance, I think we might as well take this opportunity to start peace talks with Yan."

"After all, they themselves have suffered huge losses."

Army Minister Watanabe Kiyotaka nodded slightly, expressing his agreement, "Your Majesty, what the Emperor said is absolutely right."

"With our current strength, we can only protect our territory with all our strength."

"Besides, even if the Yan Nation dares to invade our mainland, they will also suffer heavy losses."

"At this time, it is wise to start peace talks."

However, Navy Minister Yamamoto Noriyuki shook his head and retorted: "That's wrong!"

"Our combined fleet has not been defeated yet. Our main battleships are still intact and we still have the strength to fight. It is still unknown who will win."

“Perhaps by then, we can regroup and take back all the glory and land that belongs to us.”

Minister of War Kiyotaka Watanabe showed a sarcastic look on his face and sneered, "Humph! How dare you say such a thing?"

"The empire is now in such a predicament, all thanks to you!"

"If you hadn't insisted on planning that sneak attack on Yan Country, how could we have ended up like this today?"

At this time, Emperor Ito Eiji's face darkened and he said sternly: "Enough! Shut up!"

"Start the negotiation process with Yan Country immediately."

"We must do everything we can to minimize the damage to the empire."

Everyone responded in unison: "Hi!" The voices were uniform and echoed throughout the conference room.

At this moment, the mighty and powerful 500,000-strong army of Yan State is advancing northward continuously.

This army is like a steel torrent, and its scale is staggering.

However, among this huge army, there were actually 200,000 elite troops from Taishan Kingdom!

In this way, a total of 700,000 troops gathered together to form an invincible and powerful force.

These soldiers were divided into three groups: one group chose the most traditional way - land transportation.

They set out from Taishan Kingdom and arrived at Annan Kingdom. After a short rest, they headed non-stop towards the border of Dazhou Kingdom and continued to advance northward.

The other part is quickly transported to the front line with the help of advanced transport aircraft to ensure that it can be quickly put into battle.

The remaining soldiers boarded huge transport ships and sailed through the waves towards their destination.

At the same time, deep down in his heart, the king of Taishan was actually not very willing to continue his offensive against Dongyang.

After all, war only brings destruction and pain, but they have no choice but to rely on the fact that Yan State is their suzerain state, and the country's military power is firmly controlled by Yan State.

Faced with this situation, even though the king was unwilling, he had no choice but to obey orders and continue this cruel war.

Fortunately, Qin Ruihua once made a solemn promise: as long as they can defeat Dongyang State, Yan State will definitely not treat Taishan State unfairly.

Not only will they give generous rewards and returns, but they will also fully support the development and growth of Taishan Kingdom.

As long as Taishan Kingdom firmly follows the pace of Yan State, within a few decades, it will surely be among the ranks of developed countries!

These words undoubtedly gave the people of Taishan a shot of adrenaline, allowing them to see the dawn of hope during the difficult and arduous years of war.
