Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Chapter 53 Difficulties
On the night of November 20th, 698 in the Gregorian calendar of the mainland, Wang Liao, deputy director of the Western Xinjiang Foreign Affairs Department, and Chilidin, the special envoy of the Principality of Medan, signed the "Wangchi Agreement" in Yada City. Dadu Protectorate, the Grand Duke of Medan accepted the title of Tanghe Empire, and the former Medan Principality General Maloda was also granted the title of Marquis of the Empire, and the entire territory of Medan was surrendered.
On November 23, the non-stop Western Xinjiang Fourth Army left a division stationed outside the former capital of the Principality of Medan, Miyalo, and took advantage of the fact that the outside world had not yet learned of the signing of the agreement between the two parties. Going south quickly, on November 26, they defeated more than 20,000 soldiers who came to stop the coalition forces of Eastern Samoa and Moro. completely lost in. On November 28, the Fourth and Fifth Divisions of the Fourth Corps of the Western Frontier Army entered the Eastern Samoa City Republic, which had been declared undefended. On November 29, another Western Frontier Army, the First and Second Divisions of the Fourth Army, occupied the Moro City Republic, which was also declared undefended.
On November 25th, the special envoys of Ma Qihan and the Nanyang Alliance arrived at Miyaluo City, which had become Li Wufeng's temporary office on the peninsula, and asked Li Wufeng to stop his march to the south and resolve the disputes between the two parties through negotiations, but they were rejected. . At the same time, the two corps of the Machi Khan sent troops to Kutterdam to defend Kutterdam and the city-state of Lygon together with the Allied Forces of the Peninsula; after half a month of debate, the Nanyang Alliance Parliament finally agreed to protect the Nanyang Alliance In the name of inviolability of commercial interests, 70,000 troops were sent to Sanbao City-state. On November 30, 50,000 mercenaries returning from the mainland disembarked and landed in Sanbao Port, and joined forces with the Nanyang Alliance Front Army to station in Sanbao City-State.
On November 26, a week after the Pasha signed the agreement with the coalition forces, that is, the third day after the eastern mercenaries boarded the ship and returned eastward, they suddenly tore up the agreement and launched an attack on the unprepared western countries of the Peninsula Alliance , The countries in the western part of the peninsula caught off guard were captured by the Pasha army in three consecutive cities within five days. In addition to the fall of the Principality of Tokton, the Principality of Acha and the city-state of Itami were captured on November 29 and 30 respectively. On November 30th, the Principality of Sioran and Princeton City, the core city in the west of the Peninsula Alliance, officially declared war on the Kingdom of Pasha. At the same time, Japan and Germany, who had just secretly married the prince of the Kingdom of Sioran, declared war on the Kingdom of Pasha. In the Kingdom of Lan, the situation in the entire Indochina Peninsula is becoming more and more complicated.
In the southern peninsula area, the wind and rain suddenly started, but the northern area was covered with clouds and fog, and it was in chaos.
The importance of the Jiama region to the Kaman Empire is well known to everyone. I don’t know how much effort it took the Kaman people to take advantage of the internal strife in the Tanghe Empire to take advantage of the Jiama region. Even if a hole was torn in the natural barrier of the Tanghe Empire, it was precisely because of the Jiama, a wedge deeply inserted into the Czech Republic, that the Kaman Empire was able to win the battle against Jiayuguan in the subsequent battle. Success, together with Fan Lin's capture at the end, the entire Kaman Empire has built a thick strategic barrier outside its southern homeland to ensure that its homeland will not be invaded by foreign hostile forces. The fall of the horse suddenly turned into a castle in the air, and the solid southern line of defense in the minds of the Kamanians suddenly collapsed, exposing the entire southern region to the swords and iron hooves of the Xijiang people, which was even more dangerous than before. It was several times more dangerous before winning the top horse.
As the coach of Kaman's southern defense line, Mailey certainly understands this, but the serious shortage of logistics has greatly weakened morale, especially since the beginning of October, the food supply has been intermittent, and the domestic food supply is even more complete. Cut off, it all depends on the supplement from the eastern occupied area. Once the eastern supply line is attacked, this already quite fragile supply line will soon cause great trouble to the Kaman army guarding the southern border.
Although Ferdinand's westward plunder brought back enough food for the northern garrison for half a year, the side effects were huge. The Sithrow Empire once withdrew from the Liberian Alliance and issued an ultimatum. The Kaman Empire does not give a clear statement. They will announce that the Sithrow Empire and the Kaman Empire have entered a state of war. Although this is somewhat intimidating, with the existing military strength of the Sithrow people, they are simply not enough to fight the Kaman Empire. The Empire fought, but in the face of the anger of the people of the Heathrow Empire, both the emperor and the nobles of the Heathrow Empire felt that if they did not make some tough expressions this time, the pressure from the people above and below would be enough to make the Empire face A huge crisis of confidence.
However, these diplomatic affairs are not what Mailey needs to worry about. With the response of the prime minister, Mailey believes that the anger of the Sithrow people will calm down soon. What he needs to face now is how to regain the armor. Ma, rebuild the complete southern defense line. The Jiama had to be taken back, otherwise the nomadic cavalry subordinate to Li Wufeng would turn the entire southern part of the empire into their hunting grounds, and Mai Li couldn't imagine the consequences. But he also knew that with his current strength, he was powerless to take back Jia Ma. Unless the Southern Expedition Army was withdrawn, everything would be empty talk.
But under the current situation, Nick's Southern Expeditionary Army is also riding a tiger. Although Heishan and Longquan have been abandoned, if you look at the people in Tanghe who pretend to be ignorant and unwilling to take over, you can imagine that the current drought The huge impact brought by the entire Eastern Continent, without food, even if you occupy this land, so what? Facing hungry mobs with red eyes screaming, and refugees who may stab you in the back at any time, even if you are a veteran of many battles, you will still shudder in this environment. From Nick's heart, Miley can understand the other party's current difficulties. It is like a bottomless quagmire. It is useless to want to start the southward campaign again. On the contrary, the fat in the eyes of the nobles of the empire has become a hot potato in the military. It costs troops, and in this case, you have to maintain a restrained mood to face these people who are hostile to you, which has a considerable impact on morale.
Malley and Nick once exchanged opinions in letters, and believed that under the current circumstances, in order to completely defeat the Tanghe people, the only way is to unite with the Heathrow people, Poole people and Dorton people, and invite the Machihan people and the Milan people to the south. People, the Japanese people in the east, using the land of the Tanghe Empire as a bait, first delineated the ownership of the land of the Tanghe Empire, and worked together to send troops at the same time to completely destroy the Tanghe Empire. Only in this way can the psychological foundation of the Tanghe people be destroyed Only in this way can the people in the respective occupied areas gradually accept the reality of subjugation and gradually assimilate. Otherwise, it is unlikely that the empire or the Liberian Union will eat this behemoth, or even if they eat it, they will not be able to eat it. Digestion.
But this plan obviously has many limitations. Due to the inconsistency of interests, it is obviously impossible to unite all the forces that can be united at the same time, but it is very possible to invite several powerful forces to hold a grand event. It is very feasible, but it is also very difficult to successfully do this in a short period of time, especially now that the relationship between the expected allies is still in a state of war, such as Dorton and Japanese, Milanese and Machihans .
Since this cannot be done for a while, both Mailey and Nick are inclined to temporarily evacuate the hinterland of the Tanghe Empire, such as temporarily abandoning Pinglu or even Qinghe, and at most retaining Yulin as a support for the North Jieluk flank and a bridgehead for going south. The famine is over and comes back again, which can greatly reduce the burden on the current army, and can effectively shrink the defense line to ensure the stability of the defense of strategic locations, but this opinion has been reported to the prime minister, and there is no further sound~IndoMTL .com~Even Miley and Nick didn't understand how the shrewd Prime Minister could keep silent on this matter.
The fall of Jiama strengthened the will of Mailey and Nick. The task before Mailey was to recapture Jiama as soon as possible. In addition to re-expanding the city defense facilities in Jiama, and when the number of its garrisons reached a record 100,000, Mailey had nothing to say except sighing. Li Wufeng and the Teroks clearly wanted to build the armored horse into a dagger on the navel of the empire. With this passage and bridge, the nomadic cavalry would become a nightmare for the people in the southern part of the empire. The tragedy ravaged by the Tetes will repeat itself again. At this time, Mailey realizes that it may be the stupidest decision in his life to agree with Ferdinand to dispatch elite cavalry to plunder grain westward. swallow.
While Miley was reflecting on his original decision, the court of the Kaman Empire was full of gloom, and black clouds were overwhelming the city.
Gomez has been standing in front of the window for two full hours. The servant brought the coffee down and changed it twice, but the master still didn't seem to return to the chair and sat down. He wanted to remind his master, but the servant I also know that this is the time when the master hates being disturbed the most, so I can only stand silently at the door and wait for orders.
A wordless bitterness filled his chest, the distrustful gazes of His Majesty the Emperor and the noble ministers seemed to be still wandering in his mind, and the strong smell of gunpowder from the collision of tongues, swords, lips and guns at the meeting in the morning seemed to still echo in his heart. In the nasal cavity, this time Gomez really felt the hostility that the nobles have always hidden well. If he can't give them a satisfactory explanation, not only Nick and Miley, but even himself will be difficult to overcome this difficulty. .
