Chapter 298: Three Chances
When he arrived at the headquarters of the Praetorian Guard, Bai Zhizhan saw Wang Kaiyuan and got information from Wang Kaiyuan, Zheng Jiang clearly did not talk nonsense.
The Nuland Federation set the time for entering the war around October 10, which was before the Double Ninth Festival of the Liang Xia Empire.
According to the arrangement, Bai Zhizhan and Zhang Xiaoqing's wedding was just before the Double Ninth Festival.
Because it is the wedding of the eldest princess of the royal family, she has been doing publicity for a few months and wants to celebrate with the whole world, so the time of the wedding has already been announced to the world, and there is no secret at all.
Even if you set off immediately after the wedding, it will take at least three days to return to the fleet, including the delay on the way.
During these three days, the White Stop War was definitely not in the fleet.
"I've heard that Niz is praising you."
"As for it?" Bai Zhizhan felt that Wang Kaiyuan was mocking him, or deliberately ridiculing.
Wang Kaiyuan smiled and said, "Here are a few relevant materials, you can use them later, you can read them first." I went out to see if the others had arrived. ”
"You're going to get busy."
When Wang Kaiyuan went out, Bai Zhizhan picked up the documents.
After flipping through it, he put it down.
It's all old news, nothing new, and it doesn't matter if you watch it or not.
Lofus had not decided to enter the war until now, which was actually beyond the expectations of the White Stop.
At the beginning of the year, in late March, the White Stop War boldly predicted that the Newland Federation was likely to enter the war in the first half of the year, and at the latest in the third quarter, and in the middle of the year, that is, June and July, the probability of participating in the war was the highest, and proposed to make a fuss about these time points.
Since then, there have indeed been a couple of great moments.
The first was in early April, when the Marine Corps, with the support of the Navy, landed on the Chang Cry Peninsula.
At that time, the main forces of the Imperial Navy were all here, and the four aircraft carriers divided into two task forces were all looking west and east.
In order to prevent a sneak attack, the Imperial Navy deployed more long-range patrol aircraft to Liuhuangdao before this, increasing the patrol intensity.
In addition, several submarines were sent to the Jumbo Harbor side.
Although the action was very large, the Nuland Navy did not receive the news until the end of March at the earliest, and the preparation time was only 10 days, and it was too late to complete the deployment.
It can be seen that it is understandable that Lofus gave up this opportunity.
The second time was at the end of April, when the Empire officially declared war on the Locke Republic and the Bran Kingdom, and then launched a blitzkrieg on the Western Continent.
Although the Republic of Rock and the Kingdom of Bran then declared war on the Empire and declared a state of war on the country, the Nuland Federation did not declare war on the Empire, and Lofos only issued a statement condemning the war, making the Kingdom of Bran and the Republic of Rock the target of the "Aid Act".
Until the defeat of the Locke Republic, the aid of the Nuland Federation did not arrive.
After that, the Empire blitzed the kingdom of Prestige on the Svya Peninsula.
In the southern sunset of the ocean, the broken fleet of the Riman Empire was even more slaughtered.
Even when the north set in the ocean, the submarines of the Hindan Empire showed their fangs.
What the Newland Federation did was to exchange 50 old destroyers built during the last war for jurisdiction over the Hundred Islands controlled by the Kingdom of Bran.
Not to mention declaring war on the Liangxia Empire, the Nuland Federation did not even declare war on the Empire.
In fact, the Bran Kingdom has never declared war on the Liang Xia Empire.
The key point is that in the early days of the outbreak of the war in the Western Continent, the Liang Xia Empire not only did not provide support for the Riman Empire, but acted to threaten the Riman Empire.
It just looks like it's threatening the Empire.
According to the secret agreement, the Liangxia Empire provided the Luosha Federation with equipment capable of arming five armored divisions, five artillery divisions, and five tactical aviation divisions.
At the same time, the Luosha Federation has strengthened its defense deployment in the western region, and has also stated that it will guard against possible blitzkrieg.
It seems that the Liangxia Empire wants to help the Luosha Federation deal with the Riman Empire.
Why did the Bran Kingdom declare war on the Liangxia Empire?
Is one more opponent a good thing?
Even if the Liangxia Empire was far away on the other side of the world and could not pose a threat to the mainland of the Bran Kingdom for the time being, after the war with the Ryman Empire, the Bran Kingdom relied more on overseas colonies. These colonies, especially the crucial Van Luo, were on the side of the Liangxia Empire.
In fact, this is also the strength of Xue Yuanzheng.
It was precisely because he saw the powerful relationship in this that he tried his best to win over the Manman Empire, sign a secret treaty with the Luosha Federation, and form the Triumvirate Entente Group.
As long as the Luosha Federation is stabilized, the Bran Kingdom must keep an eye on the Riman Empire, and will not take the initiative to provoke the Liangxia Empire.
Without the assistance of the Bran Kingdom, the Newland Federation may not be able to get the time needed to mobilize after entering the war and facing the Liangxia Empire directly.
It is understandable that Lofos was holding his ground at this time.
The third time was at the end of May.
In those days, three major events took place.
The first is the official announcement of the establishment of the Nagagi regime, which is often referred to as the Nagai regime, headed by Niu Man and Zesan, and then organized troops to land on the main island of Sagi.
After that, a fierce battle broke out between the army of the Nagawai regime and the army of the Eastern Imperial Prefecture, that is, the army of the Eastern Imperial Capital.
The Liangxia Empire first announced its recognition of the Changqi regime, and subsequently announced a total embargo on the delegitimous Eastern Sagi regime in the name of aiding its allies.
At that time, all four aircraft carriers of the Imperial Navy were operating in the waters east of the Volcanic Islands!
A few days after the establishment of the Western Sasan regime, the Empire declared unrestricted submarine warfare against the kingdom of Bran.
That same night, hundreds of bombers of the Euman Air Force split into several groups and bombed several industrial cities in the southern part of the kingdom of Bran at the same time.
Although it would be two months before the first batch of bombers provided by the Liangxia Empire arrived in the Empire and participated in the bombing of the Bran Kingdom, a group of officers of the Liangxia Army Aviation Corps had already arrived in the Empire to teach the Empire combat experience to the Empire.
On the other side of the island, the strategic bombing of the Imperial State by the Liangxia Army Aviation has been going on for several months, and has achieved very good results.
Shortly after the Empire announced the launch of an unrestricted submarine war, the forces of the Locke Federation crossed the land bridge of the shackles and invaded several countries in the southern shackles, aiming at the still semi-colonial state of Boi, which had split from the Tyre Empire and was protected by the Kingdom of Bran.
Although the advance speed of the Luo Sha army was very slow, and the attack did not go well, at that time, the invasion was only a few small countries in the outer shackles that were independent after the end of the Luo Sha Empire, and the Luo Sha army had not yet invaded the Boi country, but the alliance of the three giants was already obvious, or only the last layer of window paper remained. What is lacking is a public statement acknowledging the alliance.
Interestingly, the Bran Kingdom did not declare war on the Liangxia Empire, or even the Luosha Federation, because of this.
As mentioned earlier, there is no reason for the Bran Kingdom to provoke more enemies for itself.
What's more, the Nuland Federation still refused to declare war on the Empire in accordance with the Treaty of Alliance, on the grounds that the army of the Empire had not invaded the mainland of the Kingdom of Bran.
If the first two times, Lofos was able to hold on, it is reasonable.
But this time, it was strange that he was still indifferent.
In addition to these three obvious opportunities to enter the war, since June, after the implementation of a comprehensive strategic blockade of the Narrow Empire, the Nuland Federation still has many opportunities to declare war on the Liangxia Empire, but for several months, the Nuland Federation has not moved.
Bai Zhizhan sometimes doubts his own judgment.
Could it be that Lofus thinks that as long as they don't go to war, the Nuland Federation will be able to stay in a safe corner?
