1961 Dawn of Empire II
Just not the Minister of War of the Empire, Marshal of the Empire Marcos was only holding a document signed by the Emperor of the Little Empire in his hand, and the whole person stood in front of the window with a solemn expression looking at the border of the earth as black as the Mo River in the distance, dawn always has an indescribable heaviness with people, but only when he is really in it, he knows that it is not heavy, but a bloody blurred vision, the hustle and bustle of the people and horses opposite, and the breath of the army is coming,
On this side of the side, there is dead silence, and this unusual gap is a problem in itself.
The loss of the southern coast campaign, the failure of the counterattack on Putao, the defeat of the Great Lakes campaign, the complete withdrawal of the coalition forces, the empire that is declining by the river, unconsciously lost 200,000 troops again, the empire's finances are completely bottomed out, the people are in dire straits, famine, hunger, and plague are tormenting the people of the empire, the domestic economy is completely collapsed, a large number of nobles and merchants have chosen to flee, and the Iranians who occupy the north of Gangfei and kill millions of people seem to be a little groveling, but everyone knows that the Iraqi people will never really occupy this land, which is too far away from the Iranian Empire itself, and the Iranian culture has a violent conflict with the Central European and Barrow countries, both in terms of cost control and the pressure that needs to be faced, it is very uneconomical.
Not surprisingly, the Iraqi people will choose to evacuate after the symbolic suzerainty status and a series of expensive compensation, and Gangfei is still the owner of this land, and may even get the lost north from the new, but the leakage of the news has completely disillusioned this plan, the Falcon Emperor will not sit idly by the fat that he has arrived, and be taken away by the Iraqi people who sit on the shore and watch the fire, and the iron hooves of the Falcon Empire are 80% sure that the entire Gangfei court will be trampled into pieces before the Iranian army goes south,
And the news from the Iranians is also showing that it is not so smooth to want to join the Iranian Empire.
The Iranian Empire expressed two attitudes towards whether or not to accept Gangfei, one side was the military general, who thought that Gangfei might not even be left in a province in the end. And it is very unwise to start a war with the Falcon Empire, which has millions of mercenaries and is as stocky as the giant bear of the north.
The basis of the military is the 300,000 troops of the Iranian Empire, which currently occupies the north, which seems to be strong and strong, shocking the entire Central European Barrow, so that the countries dare not make any changes.
But in fact, it is still under the attack of the two main armies of the Falcon Empire, the total number of troops of the Falcon Empire in the southwest region and the total strength of the Falcon Empire in the Putao area is close to 500,000, which has comprehensively surpassed the 30 troops deployed by Istanbul in the north of Gangfei.
In the event of a war with such a super-heavy group, the 300,000 Iranian troops would face a situation of being attacked from the back. The Falcon Empire is not weak and incompetent, this northern giant bear is strong enough to make the entire Central European Baro tremble, not to mention that the other party also occupies the control of the entire Gangfei open sea.
"In any way, the initiative of the war is on the side of the Falcon Empire,
"Istanbul has grabbed enough wealth in the north of Congo and Africa, at least so that the Iranian Empire will have sufficient military spending for ten years, and the conquest will be worry-free, and now it only needs to think about a safe retreat. rather than rushing into war with a more powerful opponent to wear down the strength" The generals' opinion represents the current mainstream thinking of the Iranian army, they are Iraqistan, the customs here are not suitable for them, and they have been away from their homeland for more than half a year. Fighting a war is not just about honor, allegiance to the king, but also about grabbing wealth, even if it is covered with priceless jewels. It is also meaningless in the almost ruined northern part of Gangfei, and only when they return to Istanbul can their so-called self-fighting spirit be manifested. Glory, wealth, a hero's grand welcome
As for the acceptance of the submission of the Gangfei Empire, the young crown prince has been coveting the honorary crown of the Gangfei Emperor for a long time, and as for how much land and population can be obtained from Gangfei, it is secondary.
The crown prince cares about whether the Istanbul Empire under his rule in the future can become the first big empire in the Central European Barrow region to have two emperor titles at the same time, the emperor of the United Empire of Istanbul and Gangfei, which not only represents the extreme expansion of the territory of the Empire of Istanbul to the west, but just like the powerful Feiya Empire thousands of years ago, the first empire that really extends the territory from the coast of the open sea to the end of the inland sea, which was once the highest dream of countless kings, and it is extremely real in front of him at this moment, if he hesitates, he may even look down on himself,
The unclear attitude is the emperor of Iraq, the head of the empire of Islam appreciates his son's ambitions, but also affirms the opinion of the military, but his ambiguous attitude has already been explained
The military department did not receive the order to mobilize troops, the crown prince still said that he was trying to convince the emperor, and the sword of the Falcon Empire army was less than 200 miles away from the heart of Gangfei Besuka, and the form was clear that even a three-year-old child could see clearly, the Iraqi people did not show signs of mobilizing troops to rescue, that is, they were indicating that they would not go to war with the Falcon Empire for the sake of Gangfei, for the talented Emperor of Iraq, the life and death of the 300,000 army was more important than a virtual emperor's honorific title, and giving this imperial crown to the Falcon Empire could at least express Istanbul's respect for the Falcon Empire, and wear this imperial crown on his head, facing the siege of hundreds of thousands of Falcon Empire troops, this balance has long been tilted
The stars are dim, and the dawn is approaching
"My lord, the generals have all arrived!" Marcos' adjutant pushed open the door from outside the office with a pale face.
No one can face the impending decision with a calm mind, the whole army surrenders, and it is also surrendered to the enemy who has ruined the empire, such words should not appear in the dictionary of soldiers, and I don't know where the Falcon Empire knew in advance that the Gangfei Empire had the intention of surrendering to the Istans, and the situation suddenly became unavailable
This time, the Emperor of the War God on the other side was obviously angry, and there was intelligence that the strength of the Falcon Imperial Army on the opposite side this time had increased to 110,000, and the cavalry unit of the Central Army, which had the strongest combat power of the Falcon Empire, had also reached more than 30,000 people who were enough to break the defensive line, and an unknown number of Thor was on the front line, and the other party mentioned in the diplomatic statement that if he did not get a reply within two days, he would immediately launch a large-scale invasion war, and directly destroy Gangfei, it was not an empty threat, this War God Emperor was like a very clever chess player, and every move was flawless。
Under his long sword, there is a brutal and efficient imperial army, less than 200 miles away from the heart of the empire, Besuka, the Falcon Empire's army has formed a siege of the current core area of Gangfei from the three directions of the Great Lakes Region, Baruta, and the border, once this spiked net shrinks, more than 300,000 Falcon Empire troops can launch a fatal blow to the Gangfei Empire at any time, and the war has reached this, and the adjutant has to admit it. The words of the Emperor of the War God are correct, the Gangfei Empire is only one line away from its destruction, and now it is completely up to his mood, from the moment he receives this text in his hand, Lord Marcos knows that the last chance of the Gangfei Empire to save itself is far away, this war that has lasted intermittently for several years, when it is time to end,
Dawn is approaching, but it is even colder. Billions of stars shine with billions of rays of light. The deep space was shrouded in deep darkness, and the light seemed so powerless!
The adjutant looked at the old man's emaciated shoulders in front of him, and felt a faint pain in his heart, in order to avoid chaos. He had already sent someone in advance to spread the news of the surrender of the Falcon Empire. Every general, every soldier already knew about this decision, so tonight everyone seemed extraordinarily quiet and heavy,
The patrol cavalry sat absentmindedly on their horses and remained silent. The sentry stood straight, whether anyone saw it or not, and after tonight, more than half of the soldiers here would be disbanded. Marcos stood here to accompany these people like him through this sleepless night, where did the more than 100,000 Gangfei border guards go, the dormant after the Gangfei Empire removed the imperial name, and the new kingdom structure that was reduced to four provinces...... "Let's go, let's go to the conference room!" Marcos took a deep breath, seemed to have made up some kind of determination, his eyes swept over a trace of fish white in the distance, turned from the window, and strode out of the door, after this dawn, a qiē will start anew, the future is still unknown, the future is possible
At the beginning of June, the northern region of Gangfei is the most beautiful time of the year. Under the vast and majestic white peaks, large areas of emerald green dense forests, like golden green flowers, large tracts of large areas extend along the towering mountains into the distance, in the former summer residence of the emperor, Frisna Palace, next to a beautiful lake, the quiet turquoise water, the bright spring sun shines down from the gap between the trees leading to the island in the middle of the lake, and the water vapor rising from the lake water in the morning envelops the outline of the palace in a hazy smoke, looking like a fairyland on earth.
Lake Friesna is the most famous hot spring lake in the north of Gangfei, this time of year, it is an area where the nobility gathers, although it is indeed a bit remote and a little desolate, but the air here is also very fresh, the morning air seeps into everyone's heart, bringing a comfortable day. Just push open the second-floor window of the lakeside villa, and you can see the palace on the island in the middle of the lake.
Early morning. Before the sun had even risen, the Istan Emperor Soladin I sent people to convene a meeting of his ministers. This emperor, who is known as the most monarchical in the history of Iran, at the dawn of the day, pulled the military generals Marquis Apara and Marquis Feifu who accompanied the army this time, as well as the governor of the eastern province Hayera, who shined in the northern war, from a sweet dream into a cruel reality.
Emperor Soladin I's thin and majestic figure sat straight, sitting and lying down with a military demeanor, he had blue-gray curly hair, and sat on the seat like a majestic southern Obaro tiger, so although the eyes of several important ministers were a little unopen, but in front of this monarch did not dare to slack off in the slightest,
On the wall of the conference room hung a large map of O'Barro, and the large dark blue area above it was once the domain of the Gauls, but now it is fragmented, and it is said that under the strong pressure of the Falcon Imperial Army, the Gauls can only rely on the mountains to the east to resist.
There is a large clump of broken red in the north-central region, the Congo Empire, which has submitted to the Falcon Empire, and the green and purple that represent the other countries of Central Europe and Barrow, making the area near the east look like a canvas of overturned paint, representing the blue of the Istanbul Empire, which has infected a large area near the eastern mountain range
Hayala, the Governor of the Imperial East, was pointing to the map on the wall with great respect
"My great majesty, according to the news coming back from the country, because of the sharp decline in the strength of the Empire's native army, the Eero people in the south are ready to move, and their two main armies, totaling 210,000 men, have been assembled on the southern border of the Empire. Declare that he will take the holy place of Yarua, which he lost last year, and that he will return blood for blood, and kill all the Iraqis in the holy land of Yarua."
"The Hérault people can only talk big, our two legions are also on the border, and they are not less than them in terms of troops! If they really dare to come, I believe they will be beaten all over the ground!" The gaze of the Marquis of Apala, the general of the military department, swept the dividing line on the map very experienced, pursed his lips with disdain at the corner of his mouth, and said contemptuously, "The one responsible for defending against the Hérault should be the pervert of the vulture Randolph, that guy likes to stick his captives in the demarcation line with sharpened sticks! The 210,000 Hérault people, that can at least be discharged more than ten miles!"
"I heard that the Fishans had promised to give the Hérault naval aid this time. In other words, the other party will not take the land route!" Haya, the governor of the East, rolled his eyes
"Isn't there already an order for a massive shipbuilding?" said Soladin I with a muffled snort
The fat Governor of the East trembled slightly, and hurriedly replied, "Since our army occupied the Valunia region, the shortage of timber in the country has been effectively alleviated, and in order to carry out His Majesty's naval strategy, the one hundred and twenty shipyards of my Eastern Province have been fully opened, and according to the most conservative statistics, we can now build five to seven sail warships a month, but such a number is obviously not enough. Compared to the naval strength that the Fessans have maintained for decades, we will not have a naval power to compete with it until at least next year" "Next year? Is this the so-called full speed? I gave you 10 million funds, but I didn't let you squander it like this" Emperor Soladin I's eyebrows raised, and his fingers tapped heavily on the table, "I didn't care about the navy before. But this time the Falcon Empire and the Falcon Empire's war with the Gang Fei people, I can see that naval power is also a factor that determines the rise and fall of the empire, if we also have a strength as strong as the Falcon Empire's navy. The kingdom of Fesan has already been destroyed by me seven or eight times!
"That's right, but the navy is really not the army. China has always paid no attention to the navy, and how easy is it to build a fleet? Not to mention the recruitment and training of personnel for the time being, this is the most systematic project, and it is also the foundation of the navy, and we are not anxious to come, and it is not possible to only have naval warships without sailors; in terms of naval training, we are all laymen, and our subordinates have a saying, I don't know if we can say it!"
"Tell me?"
Soladin I raised his hand to him, the navy has always been the shortcoming of the Istans, although the Istan Empire has a long coastline, but because the terrain is mostly dry desert areas, the limitation of tree resources makes the Istans automatically ignore the naval construction that requires a large number of wood support,
This time, the Falcon Empire's naval strength also moved Emperor Soladin's heart,
The Falcon Empire spent so much effort to almost wipe out the entire Gangfei, in order to open up the trade routes and sea lines in the inland sea, while the Istanbul Empire guarded thousands of miles of inland coasts without even a fleet, and this gap was too great! Who said that the sea area was not the territory of the empire! While examining the sea area under his control, the eloquent Emperor Soladin was shocked to find that if he had a navy, the territory of the empire could be at least doubled, and even if it was the capital of the old enemy Feshan, wasn't it just on the edge of the sea!
"If it comes to people who are familiar with naval training, if His Majesty really wants to be so eager, there is a candidate for his subordinates!"
"You mean Resa Bachi?" Isstan Emperor Soladin I's eyes lit up, yes, why didn't he think of it!" Yes" Hayela nodded solemnly, he is the Eastern Governor of the Istanbul Empire, in fact, the so-called Eastern Province is the strait area on the border between the Istan Empire and the Kingdom of Fesan, half of which is in the hands of the Empire of Istanbul and half of it is in the hands of Feshan,
A few years ago, the Emperor of the Istan Empire gathered 300,000 troops, withstood the support from the Fishan side, and forcibly besieged the eastern governor of the Fishan Kingdom in March, and the Eastern Governor had no choice but to surrender when he ran out of food, and the Istan Empire finally included the entire eastern province in one fell swoop, and the Fishan Kingdom lost most of the naval dock because of this heavy loss, and the navy suffered heavy losses, and had to seek a new outlet to the south to build ships.
The Eastern Governor of Faisan who surrendered was Resa Bachi, "Resa Baqi is the former Governor of the Eastern Province of the Faisan Kingdom, and also the Commander-in-Chief of the Eastern Fleet of Faysan......, if His Majesty hands over the matter of supervising the construction of the navy to him, he should be able to get twice the result with half the effort!"
