Just because the Dark Night Empire didn't intervene in the Battle of Java didn't mean that they wouldn't stir up trouble.
On the fifteenth day of the first month, when the Battle of Java was in full swing, the Dark Night Empire brazenly sent 150,000 soldiers across the Hawaiian Strait to attack the Grand Xia Empire's Hawaiian County.
It was in this battle that the Dark Night Empire's navy first appeared on the world stage.
The Mu Continent was boundless, and its largest lake was Lamu Lake. Its surface area was comparable to the Caspian Sea, and the Dark Night Empire's most powerful fleet was stationed there.
The warships of the Dark Night Fleet were neither wooden warships such as sailing battleships nor ironclad warships. Instead, they were brand-new warships with the highest technology of the Mu Empire.
The warship was not big, but its firepower was comparable to that of an ironclad warship.
As the saying goes, 'How can I allow others to sleep by my side?' The more the Dark Night Empire feared Grand Xia, the more they couldn't bear to be next to Hawaii County.
"In order to take down Hawaii, we will do whatever it takes," Emperor Keisuke Honda said.
It was reported that the 150,000 soldiers were only the vanguard troops of the Dark Night Empire. In order to conquer Hawaii, the Dark Night Empire estimated that they would have to invest millions of soldiers. "Even if it's a war of attrition, we have to exhaust Great Xia."
Under such circumstances, the cabinet suggested that Hawaii County should be abandoned.
Ouyang Shuo's interest was piqued. He asked the Hawaiian people to evacuate through the Teleportation Formation according to the plan. At the same time, he ordered the First Legion of the Brave Tiger Army and the Pacific Fleet, which had already been stationed in Hawaii, to immediately engage in battle.
He just wanted to see how strong the Dark Night Empire was.
The information that the Blacksnake Guard had obtained was superficial information after all. Ouyang Shuo had a basic understanding of the Dark Night Empire's strength after fighting it once on the battlefield.
Because of this, this battle had to be fought.
Furthermore, Ouyang Shuo was already very sullen after giving up on Morocco, and he still couldn't get over it. If he were to give up on Hawaii County now, how would the people of Great Xia look at the imperial court?
What would the world think of Great Xia then?
Therefore, not only did they have to fight this battle, but they also had to bring out the glory of Great Xia.
Even if they could not fight a protracted war against the Dark Night Empire, they had to inflict pain on the enemy so that the "losers" of the Dark Night Empire would realize that their father was still their father!
Don't think that sticking together will make you invincible.
Under such circumstances, the Battle of Hawaii broke out and shook the entire Pacific Ocean.
…
On the 16th of January, the two fleets clashed on the sea.
The first, second, and third formations of the Dark Night Fleet left Lake Lamu, entered the vast Pacific Ocean, and headed north along the coast of the Mu Continent to attack Hawaii County.
The leader of this division was a Navy Vice Admiral in the real world of the Federation, Eguchi Ichiro.
At the same time, Eguchi Ichiro was also the admiral of the entire Dark Night Fleet. He was also an important figure who supported the Japanese royal family's status in the Dark Night Empire.
After their country was destroyed, the historical talents of the various countries were no longer fated with them.
The current Dark Night Empire, be it in the military or the imperial court, was dominated by Mutants. It could be said that it had opened up another dynasty mode in the game world.
As for the natives of the Mother Continent?
Mutants who had been enslaved before were naturally reduced to slaves in return for an eye for an eye.
The Dark Night Empire created a new world record, becoming the first dynasty in the game to openly raise slaves. They weren't afraid of becoming the target of public criticism.
There were three hundred million mutants in the trial grounds. Even without the natives, it was enough to support the Dark Night Empire. All the combat professional players were incorporated into the army.
The fourth and fifth formations of the Dark Night Fleet headed south, attempting to take a big detour to the north of Hawaii County, forming a pincer attack on Hawaii County.
Unexpectedly, the second and third formations of the Pacific Fleet didn't plan to defend at all. After the battle started, they used their familiarity with the surrounding waters to directly head south.
The two fleets encountered each other near the coast of the Mu Continent.
The Dark Night Empire had the high-tech Lamu Battleships, but the Great Xia Navy wasn't weak, especially the Pacific Fleet. The flagship of the fleet had been equipped with ironclad warships. Together with the magic-powered submarines and fighter jets, the fleet was almost comparable to the modern navy.
With the speed of the development of the Great Xia Navy's equipment, the world's first aircraft carrier group would definitely be born in Great Xia.
As the crystallization of the most advanced technology of the Mother Empire, the Lamu Battleships were naturally not weak. As soon as the battle started, what surprised Shi Lang the most was that the enemy ships saw through the magic-powered submarines' ambush.
That was very impressive!
Before this, the magic-powered submarines had always been the trump card of the Great Xia Navy with their excellent stealth ability and super strong attack power. They had made great contributions in previous naval battles and were almost invincible.
This time, the magic-powered submarines met their nemesis.
The Lamu Fleet was equipped with the Thunder Movement System, which directly pulled out the magic-powered submarines, leaving them nowhere to hide.
On the flagship, the Dark Night, Eguchi Ichiro saw the enemy submarines being defeated, and a smile of revenge appeared on his face. There was even a trace of reminiscence in his eyes.
During the Battle of Japan, Eguchi Ichiro was the main commander of the Japanese fleet. Under the attack of the Great Xia magic-powered submarines, the Japanese fleet was beaten into a sorry state.
Eguchi Ichiro also died in that battle, which was regarded as the greatest shame of his life.
Two and a half years later, he returned from hell!
"Now, it's time to pay with blood!" Eguchi Ichiro looked delighted.
The loss of the first battle didn't shake Shi Lang's determination. He immediately commanded the fleet to fight the enemy head-on. The cannons of the warships from both sides tilted and set off raging waves on the surface of the sea.
This confrontation caused Shi Lang's heart to sink again.
Shi Lang was shocked to find that, other than the ironclad warships, the Z1s were at a complete disadvantage in terms of firepower and defense against the enemy's Lamu warships.
Only the ironclad warships could compete with them.
Thinking about it, this was normal. The Great Xia obtained the pseudo-aircraft from the Atlantis civilization, and the magic-powered submarines from the Lemurian civilization. In the navy, they played a supporting role.
The true core of the navy was the main battleship itself.
Unfortunately, the most advanced technology of the Lamu civilization was the main battleship. Naturally, the Lamu warship was able to completely suppress the Great Xia navy.
The strength of the main battleship basically determined the strength of the fleet.
Fortunately, the global technology tree had been unlocked to the second industrial revolution, and ironclad warships had officially entered the stage of history. Otherwise, the Lamu warship would be invincible.
If it had appeared two years earlier, it could have directly challenged the Great Xia's supremacy on the sea.
Eguchi Ichiro saw this, and the smile on his face became even wider. "Heh, the Lamu warship did not disappoint me. Those natives are quite capable."
Eguchi Ichiro couldn't be more satisfied with the performance of the Lamu warship.
Thinking of the brand-new Lamu warships docked on Lake Lamu, Eguchi Ichiro couldn't help but be excited. Those were the assets of the Lamu Empire, and now they were all taken over by them.
The consecutive setbacks made Shi Lang's expression turn solemn. He knew the meaning of this battle too well. If they were to lose like this, they wouldn't be able to explain it to the imperial court and His Majesty.
"Pass the order, get all the fighter jets in position and prepare for a suicide bombing!" Shi Lang was expressionless.
"Yes, Sir!"
The messenger also had a solemn expression. He bowed and left.
With the firepower of the Lamu warship, if the first-generation fighter jets used conventional tactics, there was a high chance that they would be destroyed by the enemy's cannons.
In a situation where the number of fighter jets was limited, Shi Lang didn't leave any way out.
"Because there is no way out!"
In this battle, the Pacific Fleet had to defend the glory of the Great Xia navy. If they were defeated, not only would it be a blow to the Pacific Fleet, but it might also shake the empire's supremacy on the sea.
The resulting chain reaction was something Shi Lang didn't dare to imagine.
Ten minutes later, a total of forty first-generation fighter jets took off from the decks of different battleships after being loaded with bombs. Every pilot's face was filled with an indomitable determination.
