With the addition of the giant shield crossbowmen and the Papal Guard, the number of the Imperial army has finally reached 200,000, 370,000 to be exact, accounting for one-fifth of the country's population.

After the frantic expansion of London's Crescent Harbor in recent years, the navy has 90 Canadian warships, and there are still 60 Hawker warships that have been eliminated by nearly half of the number, and with the establishment of the Naval Academy in Crescent Harbor, under the improvement and research and development of many shipbuilding technicians, a medium-sized flagship named Holga has been developed.

The Holga type battleship is an improved version of the Canadian battleship, although it is also a medium-sized battleship, but it is 1 times better than the Canadian battleship in terms of sailing speed and load-bearing, and the most pleasing thing for Sun Lin is that this kind of battleship can not only be equipped with a heavy torsion trebuchet, but also a giant ballista can be installed on its bow position, which is currently only placed on the outer wall of the Nottingham fortress, and the current range has reached 800 meters after many improvements. A weapon that can directly destroy the 30-meter-high siege tower with a single blow.

If there is any regret, although this kind of battleship is only an improved version of the Galie battleship, the improved parts of its interior are not as simple as a part and a plank, so until the third year of the new calendar of the Empire of the Sun Never Sets enters April, when the ice and snow melt and the earth rejuvenates, there are only 4 Holga warships in the Crescent Harbor that can be launched and sailed and carry out tasks. And this freshly baked Holga battleship has not yet gone to sea for a few days of sea trials, except for 1 that was left in Sun Lin's hands as a royal special seat ship, the remaining 3 ships were all left by Blackbeard and other 3 captains of the 3 sea areas of the empire where the sun never sets, and they were taken as flagships.

1 Holga battleship, 30 capital warships - the Galleria battleship plus 20 have not been eliminated, as the role of transporting materials, attracting fire, etc., a total of 51 Hawk battleships are the current standard configuration of the Sun Lin 3 sea fleet. Of course, this is only a reference to the human race, but don't forget that Sun Lin still has a sea tribe unit in his hands that is specially used for reconnaissance and beach landing warfare, you must know that each fleet in Sun Lin's hands is now equipped with 51 small and medium-sized warships, and at the same time is equipped with 3,000 Naga Foreign Legion fighters for a team, and a 2,000 people for a team of fish-man sea reconnaissance group, counting the human sailors and other personnel on the ship, now each fleet has more than 10,000 soldiers, If you add the fishmen, Naga warriors, and those reserve human sailors who stayed near the coastline of the Sunset Empire, the true number of the Sunset Empire's current navy has reached 140,000! (Of course, this also counts the combat military and civilian fish-man sword and shield warriors, but the fish-man sword and shield warriors here are calculated by the number of equipment they are distributed, not by the number of heads, otherwise, the number of Sun Lin's navy is not only 140,000, but nearly 30 people, because today, the number of fishmen who have secretly left the shallow sea fish-people to join the arms of the Sunset Empire has reached more than 300,000, of which nearly two-thirds of the fishmen are young and strong young men).

As for the army, after removing the militia and the half-orc legion that was expanded to 10,000 in January of the third year of the new calendar, and another orc slave army that was expanded to 35,000, the remaining number of professional marines of the Sunset Empire totaled 230,000.

These included 50,000 Yoman longbowmen, 40,000 hoplite swordsmen, 10,000 feudal knights (the knightly squires of the feudal knights were planned by Sun Lin to join the militia forces), 10,000 Hobira Rangers, and 40,000 hook and sickle soldiers. A total of 150,000 people, and this is only the number of soldiers in the northwest continental territory of the Sun Never Setting Empire, on the New Delhi Peninsula, there are 70,000 new troops, namely 30,000 giant shield crossbowmen and 40,000 papal guards, of course, they can't be considered a new force, because many of them are converted from all the heavy sergeants and civilian crossbowmen in the previous Sun Never Setting Empire.

Maintaining a military expenditure of about 400,000 yuan is an extremely large amount, but for Sun Lin, the amount of money spent here is less than one-quarter of the empire's one-day income in foreign trade.

The empire was able to make such a high profit on foreign trade, partly because it was inseparable from the luxury goods produced within the empire, and on the other hand. The reason why the Sunset Empire was able to obtain so much money was because the Imperial Guild Branch established by the Sunset Empire in the Northern and Western Continents had begun to be fully operational, here, the original cost price was less than 1 gold coin, and the porcelain and silk sold in London City were only 100 gold coins, but in the Northern Continent and the Western Continent, they were raised to 10,000 gold coins or a horse by the Ministry of Commerce, but despite this, The commercial guild branch directly under the Sun Never Sets Empire has maintained more than 10 cars a day for these two luxury goods alone, not to mention the export volume of other products. Moreover, it is reported that a member of the Ministry of Commerce once learned that the price of 1 ordinary blue and white porcelain in the Middle Continent of the King has reached 100,000!

Military spending has been settled, and these expenditures will not affect the development of the empire. On the other hand, although the seven territories of the Northwest Continent are still under development, in fact the main works have been completed, the wide stone passages connecting the interior of the territories have all been completed, the facilities in the castles of each city have also begun, and even the spring planting in each region has been completed. And the food hoarded in the various districts is enough for everyone in the Empire to consume, and everything marks the beginning of the Empire's war machine once again.

All, after more than half a year of recuperation and recuperation of the Sunset Empire, when Sun Lin once again sharpened the claws in the lion's paws, the unbearable Sunset Empire launched the so-called spring offensive in late April under the command of Sun Lin, but this time the Sunset Empire did not shift its attention to the three major forces in the northwest continent, but aimed at those small principalities that lived by the sea, either neutral or belonging to the Mars and Mishaal Empires.

The battle began in the capital of a small seaside principality called Morse, 7,000 kilometers away from York on the northwest continent, and the battle was commanded by Sun Lin, but the troops participating in the battle came from the New Delhi Peninsula.
