Power and Empire Chapter 1709: Thundering Spring (5)
" In the spring of the third year of Oubaro, the Congolese Empire murmured and accepted the war compensation claim from the Northern Falcon Empire. At the cost of tens of millions of gold coins and the cession of the sparse forest area in the north, it ended this lasting less than three years. Months of miserable war, and forced to open up the trade routes in the inland areas, the name of the Northern Falcon Empire, with the bow of the Congolese Empire, which has always been strong to the outside world, is like a storm that spreads across the entire continent of Obaro. Putuo on the east coast to Scanner Niro in the remote Central European Barone Sea region,
fascinated, so that all the Oubaro monarchs feel distracted and unbelievable
"Although most of the Europa people do not want to admit it, the impact of this war is indeed like the thunder of spring that cannot be ignored!" Before this war broke out, the Congolese Empire was not the largest in Central Europe and Pakistan. It has been regarded as one of the most influential countries in Central Europe and Pakistan with its nearly one million troops and powerful navy, and has always been regarded as one of the most influential countries in Central Europe and Pakistan, but it is such a leading power in just three months. I was overwhelmed by the Northern Falcon Empire. More than 200,000 elite troops were killed in battle. Imperial Kyoto was bombarded. Even the emperor of the Empire died of sudden illness during the northern battle.
According to the speculations of many countries that have grudges against Gangfei, this resolute emperor may be alive and well. It was just an unofficial concealment that the emperor declared to the public that his majesty was suddenly tired and unexpected. Sick to death! This cannot be verified,
But the defeat of Gangfei has become an indisputable fact
From this time onwards, Obaro talents really began to call the Falcon Kingdom rising northwest of Obaro as the "Falcon Empire", acknowledging its powerful empire-level military strength and influence, so we have reason to think that Falcon The majestic gaze of the majesty of the first generation of the emperor of the empire is exactly what happened in that era of shining stars.
..."" "An excerpt from "Thundering Early Spring... The Significance of the Empire and the Congo and Africa War", Fu Xilong, Lecturer of Imperial Military Training Course
This is an important essay that was rated as a perfect score by the Imperial Military Academy of the Empire, and was used by later generations as an important essay on the early history of the empire.
Because before this, many historians believed that it was a mistake that the early empire and the power of Central Europe and Baro, Gangfei, broke out because of a small area.
Although the victory was won, the benefits of the war won are far less favorable than directly investing troops in Gaul
And this long three-month winter gave the dying Gaul Empire a chance to breathe. Strategically, it ignored Gaul’s weakness and went to war with Gang Fei, even delaying the precious three months for this. , Is a rare strategic mistake in the life of the Vicia Falcon!
If the fat man sees all the contempt for this battle in the next 171 years, he will certainly unceremoniously analyze these, report, and see, all of them will be thrown on the faces of these so-called historians
A group of idiots kicked by donkeys are completely poisoned by books,
Or only the founder of the empire where Fatty lives in this era will know that the rise of the Falcon Empire is sandwiched between two great empires. The reason for the real war with Gang Fei is not for an unintentional The commandment I got from time to time was not to appreciate someone who was obsessed with swallowing his voice, not to keep the morale of the imperial army high, and to beat the Gauls for the next year, not to save their "little wives."
. . . Rather, the empire needs to break the spine of an ambitious neighbor,
The space is so big, or you die, or I die, the road to the rise of an empire has always been based on the bones of the enemy!
Obviously, these things will never appear in the eyes of historians,
Their eyes will only look at the instant facts, but no one will pay attention to the people and events that contributed to the facts before they become facts, even if they won’t be in the empire’s record files. Okay, now let’s do it again. Cast your gaze through the fog of history on this thunderous spring, and follow the unrestrained trajectory of the Falcon Empire to unfold the grand picture of this era!
The Battle of General Settlement ended. According to the Falcon Army guarding the northern region of Congo, on the one hand, the Falcon Army began to withdraw formally, and on the other hand, it took over the sparse forest area in the northern part of the Congo Falcon Empire. The smoke of gunpowder began to become indifferent in the beginning, but in Gaul, after a winter rest, the Gauls began to show a tendency to move around in the spring. As the snow and ice covering the ground turned into gurgling water in the mountains, whether it was Gaul, or Falcon Empire, both sides can clearly feel it
The validity period of the armistice agreement is like this rapidly melting ice, which will soon be filled with countless cries of war. The Gaul's mentality of vows for revenge has spread in Gaul Kyoto, and it comes from hunting. Reports from the governor of the Rusty region of the Eagle Empire are more and more frequently appearing on the fat man’s desk.
The governor of the Empire, who was born in Doroque, wrote in the report, "The number of the Gaul army has reached 10,000 at the beginning of February, twice as many as our army. The southern part of Lord Salton who is in charge of the flanks Under pressure, the Second Army proposed to temporarily shrink our front!"
But in the report of another empire’s minister in charge of defense, Crolithat, it was such a proposal.
"The Gallic army is frequently mobilized and the offensive is imminent. The soldiers of the whole army are eagerly looking forward to your majesty's early order to attack. The Northwest Army has 5,435 people below the inferiority post. "(Attached to the Legion’s blood book... Hòuhòu hundreds of pages of parchment" "I can't laugh or cry when I see the fat guy!
(So the fat man asked about the papermaking situation again. Fortunately, the craftsmen in the southwest area have made the first batch of paper belonging to the Falcon Empire based on the guidance of Qianyun from the Central Biya Empire. The fat man looked at Now, although it is still a bit rough, at least you can write things, and you don’t need to consume a lot of expensive fur every year)
Fatty just laughed at these two reports with different attitudes.
After all, multi-choice is a clerical job, with a cautious nature, and lacks a sturdy style of being a fierce leader. It is the first time I have encountered a massive increase in the Gaul army that really dominates such a war of hundreds of thousands of troops. It’s defense. I let Duoze serve as the governor of the Rusty region, hoping Duo-cho can contain the impulse of his gang of arrogant soldiers at a critical moment.
Crolitsat was born in a mountain hunter, with a sturdy and brave personality. As he fought south and north, he never knew what fear was. He was a titan who had experienced the unification war of the empire. The Battle of the Northwest Prairie was the forerunner of the army. Ten thousand troops attracted 180,000 Swadian Northern Army, which established the reputation of Falcon First Army. It is best at mobile assault, fast and strange combat.
I cooled him in the Dorok Mountains for a year, not just for punishment. The soldiers of the Northwest Legion were the most elite mountain infantry in the empire. They were suppressed for a whole year. Redness, that's a hell, but I didn’t expect this guy to have produced something as sensational as the blood book. It seems that he was forced to be horrible, and it must be the kind that bites three catties in one bite.
The main force of the empire has just ended the war with Congo and Fei. It needs a period of rest. The logistics materials in the southwest area need time to mobilize. The grenadier regiment of Valisian is heading to Obaro by sea, Hukochili The two of them are in full control in the southwest, and they are already very busy. "The Rusty region is the boundary line between the two sides. Whether it is Gaul or the Falcon Empire, they are defending favorable terrain, or cities, or fortresses with heavy troops. , The canine teeth are interlaced, and the whole body is moved. Once the war starts, it must be a **** cruel strangulation!
Of course, the most decisive report is from Gaul Kyoto, a secret letter named Angelio
Angelio, who followed Algernon Malia to return to Kyoto in Gaul, has completely gained the trust of the other party. With the recommendation of Algernon Malia, he was appointed by the Emperor of Gaul as the privy deputy of the Ministry of Military Affairs of Gaul. Although he was only a civilian responsible for drafting documents, he was fortunate to participate in the Imperial Conference of the Emperor of Gaul. The main reason was that the Emperor of Gaul needed to find someone to understand the situation in the Northwest. As a pure Northwesterner, Angelio was undoubtedly the best candidate. According to the secret letter of this high-ranking traitor, although the high-level Gaul is making all-out efforts to mobilize troops and raise food, the 10,000 troops who are not yet ready for the final battle have gathered in Rusty, seemingly vigorous and ready at any time. There is a posture of flooding the Falcon army on the opposite side, but it is actually a stubborn stubbornness. The previous fiasco against the Falcon Empire has already made the Gaul military lose its confidence to win.
The loss of soldiers and generals, the fall of countless famous generals, the corpses of the army across the country, from the northwest to the southwest, and then to Rusty, one-third of the empire’s land was discarded in patches, the soul of Gaul’s undefeated army , Has long been smashed by the Falcon Empire Army slap shot on the Sola River,
Even though the troops invested this time accounted for almost one-half of the empire’s current strength, the Liwan army that was still fighting the Slavs in the north was also taken out of half,
But even so,
When the Gaul emperor asked who would lead the battle, all Gaul generals were silent. The angry Gaul emperor looked pale, and the generals bowed their heads and bowed their heads, even pulling Stig successfully blocked the famous Falcon’s offensive star Hasen Rambo. He did not dare to accept it at this time. It was really stressful. In less than a month, Stig will fight for less than a month. The imperial star’s hair is half gray.
At that time, the Gaul army was 300,000, the Falcon army was 100,000, the Gaul army was defensive, and the Falcon army was attacking. In the case of three to one, the record was. .
. Collapsed and lost half of the defense! If it hadn't been blocked by himself, the entire Gaul hinterland would have been beaten into a hornet's nest by the swift Falcon army!
This time, the Gaul army’s Wan, but the opposite is the Falcon Imperial Army, which is hoarding thousands of troops,
The most frustrating thing is that this is still the case where the Falcon Empire and the Congo Empire are at war on two fronts. The latest news is that the Vickia Falcon, who is like a **** of war, has just killed the Concubine by 200,000. The emperor is dead!
Damn, is this still a human!
The generals of Gaul looked like a mother who had just died. No matter how brave the generals were, they would not dare to come up. If you encounter such a great man, who dares to go!
Finally at the Imperial Conference, the Gauls made an amazing decision
The Marquis Lecob, the Deputy Chief of the Gaul Military Affairs Department, proposed that the Congolese, who had also suffered a miserable defeat in the Union, attacked the Falcon Empire between the two empires, and promised to cede the northwest and southwest to Gangfei after victory. ,
Faced with the alliance of the two empires, Fatty had to be vigilant again,
On the one hand, we pay close attention to the movements of Congo and Africa. On the other hand, although the empire’s heavy troops in the north of Congo and Africa have already withdrawn
But in the Pu Tau area, the empire’s 50,000 troops did not decrease but increased fat. The man transferred a main flag regiment from the Southern Army of Statunko to join the Pu Tau area, the main force of the imperial fleet, and the fierce warships assembled in Huacheng Port. , Occasionally still wandering around the sea in Gangfei-Kyoto, Gangfei is extremely nervous about this,
Seeing that his home has completely become a playground for the Falcon Empire Navy. At the banquet meeting with the Gaul envoy, the Minister of Military Affairs of the Republic of Congo, Rubin Sack, smiled bitterly and pointed to the Falcon Empire that was swimming in the sea outside the window. The hideous figure of the Dragon-class battleship said helplessly to the Gaul messenger
"Your Excellency thinks that under this circumstance, can our country and your country be able to attack the Falcon Empire up and down together?"
" The sudden death of His Majesty the Emperor, the chaos of various power struggles between the nobles and veterans, coupled with the force of the Falcon Empire, has plunged this traditional empire into a precarious state. What we need to consider now is not the southwest region, but Why don’t you get caught up in the flames of war!" The tone of the empire boss has said everything,
Gaul’s messenger answered silently. When he arrived at Gang Fei, he knew that the situation was far worse than expected. Gang Fei was also beaten up. This can be done by anyone on the streets of Gang Fei. I can see it on my face
hurried passers-by, a port without a boat, the sun shines on the closed shops of the street, there is only a dark shadow, no noise, no sound of joy, it should be the time of bright birthday, but I can’t see too many people, but at the gate of the city, I can see a large number of aristocratic carriages carrying luggage and wandering away
Although the war is over, the impact of the war is obviously not over. Spring is here, but the cold winter is stuck in this city. The once prosperous empire Kyoto, at this time, is completely depressed and depressed, as if pumping. Lost the shell of the soul, only the most important things are removed
"Is this the once arrogant Gang Fei?" Standing in the center of the wide street, the Gaul envoy raised his head and looked to the sky. The sun in the clouds seems to be unable to find this land. It feels too obvious. , Because the inner spirit of this empire has collapsed! "
The special envoy of Gaul left Gangfei Kyoto in a daze the next day, because he had just received the news and completely cut off the plan of United Gangfei
News from Gang Fei, Gang Fei is discussing.
"Moving to Beijing"
just one hour after the meeting with the Gauls
The 213 Congolese and African officers represented by the Minister of Military Affairs Rubin Sack and the 14 wealthy members of Kyoto jointly proposed that in order to avoid the imperial Kyoto from being shrouded in panic all day long, it requested the royal family's permission to relocate the imperial Kyoto from the coastal areas. Into relatively safe inland areas.
This is an expression of Rubin Sack, an old man who has experienced three emperors! In the wind and rain of the empire, this old pillar supports the gloomy sky of the empire
Show it to the Gauls. We don’t want to fight, but we absolutely can’t fight when we are forced to the neck with a dagger. On the other hand, it is also shown to the Falcon Empire. Gang Fei will not intervene in the Empire. In the war with the Gauls, all I just want to do is recuperate,
The third table is for those rich and powerful who are just outside of Kyoto. The fight in the nest depends on the occasion. The enemy's fleet has not left at the door of the house, so it's enough! Gang Fei's "move to Beijing" once again shook the nearby countries, and Gang Fei, who has always been strong, even compromised! This point is extremely clear, and it makes Central Europe and Barro feel amazed,
In the coastal areas where spring is coming, the wind is sunny and the weeds are trembling slightly in the wind, like a huge green screen, the mountains and peaks are undulating, except for the peaks, all covered by green plants At the same time, from the fat man stopped under his horseshoe to the blue and white seaside town of La Arup, from the port report, a squadron of the Strand Sea State had just docked there, and the submission was formal diplomacy. According to the lease agreement between the Empire and the Common Duchy, these areas are placed under the management of the Falcon Empire.
An excellent coastline of one hundred and fifty miles long has opened up a new world for the empire!
The island chain on the sea has been converted into a trading port by the navy within two months~IndoMTL.com~ Merchants from the southwest region have begun to cultivate this "new continent." This is a symbol of a new era, the empire The commerce line has truly begun the era of marching into the hinterland of the Obaro continent,
Merchant ships came from the southwest region, bringing a large amount of cargo from Ikadiva, the southwest and northwest regions, and then from here they loaded the cargo from the Congolese region to the merchant ships. The cargoes hoisted in the port area were not stopped day and night, because Gaul’s trade was blocked due to the closure of trade on the mainland. In this spring season full of gardens, it’s as if the flood from the vent is rushing towards the general area.
Its rapid momentum made the general area become a horse team like a weaving,
The distance between the generals and the hinterland is not too strong. The goods are tax-free in the general areas, and only 50% of the tax is charged when entering the Kongs. Rushing out of the Congolese market, for the duke who has just regained control of the duchy,
It’s obviously more in line with the interests of the Principality to exchange barren coastal areas for more economically valuable northern urban areas.
Even if these areas were not leased to the Falcon Empire, the Duke of Putao would cry and plead for the Falcon Empire to station troops on his land. The Duchy of Putao needs the protection of strong husbands, and a large number of people from the sea trade line The caravan has also given a rapid recovery to the general economy that has withered due to years of lockdown
Everything is like this thunderous spring, thunder, everything begins to move! (To be continued) [This text is provided by the Qihang Update Team@小蠢丁灵] (If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly pass. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
