Chapter 335: Truce in the Southwest
After the Yueyang Front under Su Yi took control of the entire central region of the Great Qin State, the Ice Lion State urgently convened a cabinet meeting to discuss the situation in the Great Qin State.
Originally, due to the great war with the Blood Wolf Country, the Ice Lion Country was ready to give up some interests in the Great Qin Kingdom, but when the Yueyang Front Army under Su Yi captured the entire central region, other voices suddenly appeared in the Ice Lion Country, and this voice even the cabinet of the Ice Lion Country had to pay attention to it.
At the official residence of the Prime Minister's Mansion in Ice Lion City, Prime Minister Zahar of the Ice Lion Domestic Cabinet said to several other cabinet members in a deep voice: "Everyone is very clear about the current situation in the Great Qin Kingdom, and I brought everyone here today to discuss how our Ice Lion Kingdom should deal with the Yueyang Front Army of the Great Qin Kingdom next, and I hope everyone can speak freely." ”
As soon as Prime Minister Zahar's words fell, Field Marshal Gurit sighed and said: "I have always thought that in order to deal with the Blood Wolf Country, we should not reduce the defense of the Yueyang Front Army of the Great Qin State, and now that the entire central region is captured by the Yueyang Front Army, the northwest and northeast regions of the Great Qin State occupied by our Ice Lion Country will all be threatened by the Great Qin Yueyang Front Army, and even the millions of troops of our Ice Lion Country in the southwest region of the Great Qin Country are also facing the risk of being flanked by the Army of the Blood Wolf Country and the Yueyang Front Army of Great Qin." Of course, the probability of that happening is not very high. ”
After a pause, Field Marshal Gurit continued: "If our Ice Lion Country still ignores the existence of the Yueyang Front Army, then the northwest and northeast regions of the Great Qin State will soon be lost to our Ice Lion Country. ”
Davide, another field marshal of the Ice Lion Country, immediately said helplessly: "Our Ice Lion Country was not willing to reduce its troops in the central region of the Great Qin Kingdom before, but the Blood Wolf Country is in the southwest region of the Great Qin Kingdom, and it continues to invest more troops, forcing our Ice Lion Country to have to send the army troops in the territory of the Great Qin Kingdom to the battlefield in the southwest region one after another. ”
Field Marshal Gurit frowned, "Do we really want to give away the benefits that we have already achieved in the Great Qin State?" That's the life of millions of officers and soldiers! ”
Admiral Mochika suddenly said: "Now the central region is lost, and it will be lost, but the five northwestern provinces and the six northeastern provinces of the Great Qin State, I personally think that we should not give up anymore, the northwest and northeast of the Great Qin State can be described as a vast land, and the reserves of various resources are huge, even if this war against the Great Qin State, our Ice Lion Country only got the five northwestern provinces and the six northeast provinces of the Great Qin State, which is equivalent to making a lot of money." ”
After a pause, Admiral Mochka continued: "In addition, the five northwestern provinces and the six northeastern provinces of the Great Qin Kingdom are close to the south of our Ice Lion Country, and the army of our Ice Lion Country can be transferred to the five northwestern provinces and the six northeastern provinces of the Great Qin Kingdom more quickly, which is also conducive to our Ice Lion Country's army holding the eleven provinces of the Great Qin Kingdom mentioned above." ”
Field Marshal Davide shrugged his shoulders and said: "But now our Ice Lion Country not only wants to start a fierce war with the Blood Wolf Country in the southwest region of the Great Qin Kingdom, but also needs to retain enough elite army troops on the western border of the country to guard against the East Bear Country, which has always been restless, it is impossible to send too many additional army units to the northwest and northeast regions of the Great Qin Kingdom, if we continue to form new troops, then where will the military spending come from?" ”
At this time, Prime Minister Zahar suddenly spoke: "A number of domestic consortia have jointly put pressure on the Cabinet, asking our Ice Lion Army to hold the northwest and northeast regions of the Great Qin State, so as to ensure the benefits obtained by many consortia in the eleven provinces of the Great Qin State, and for this purpose, the consortia are willing to provide a large amount of special military spending to help our cabinet carry out a large-scale military expansion." ”
The five northwestern provinces and the six northeastern provinces of the Great Qin State are very rich in various resources, and after these eleven provinces were seized by the army of the Ice Lion Country, many consortia in the Ice Lion Kingdom entered these eleven provinces one after another, and began to plunder all kinds of resources, such as oil fields, coal mines, forest farms, and pastures.
Field Marshal Gurit hurriedly asked: "Prime Minister, how much money are those consortia willing to come up with?" ”
Prime Minister Zahar then said: "That's an astronomical amount, enough for our Ice Lion Kingdom to form tens of millions of army troops, even if all of them form a standard Praetorian Mechanized Infantry Division, this fund can form more than 200." ”
Field Marshal Davide's eyes lit up, "If there is enough military spending, it is not impossible to form more new troops and hold the northwest and northeast regions of the Great Qin State!" ”
In the face of an astronomical amount of military spending, the cabinet members of the Great Qin State quickly reached an agreement and decided to increase the number of troops in the northwest and northeast regions of the Great Qin State while using the huge military expenses donated by many consortia at home to carry out a large-scale military expansion again.
The new troops expanded by the Ice Lion Army's army this time will be divided into two, half of which will enter the northwest and northeast regions of the Great Qin Kingdom, and the other half will go to the battlefield in the southwest region of the Great Qin Kingdom.
After sweeping through the remnants of the clouds and seizing Ludong Province, Song'an Province and most of Sui'an Province in the central region, Su Yi immediately set his sights on the six provinces in the northeast region.
The six northeastern provinces of the Great Qin State together have an area of about 3 million square kilometers and a population of about 200 million.
Most of the six northeastern provinces are plain terrain, which is very suitable for tank armored forces to attack, you must know that the tank regiments of the Yueyang Front Army equipped with Type 69 main battle tanks, in the process of attacking the Ice Lion Army, almost pushed all the way over, and the Ice Lion Army can deal with the Type 69 main battle tank The means are extremely limited.
Seeing that the Ice Lion Army had chosen to avoid the war in the central region, Su Yi hoped that the Ice Lion Army could adopt the same strategy in the Northeast Region.
However, when Su Yi learned from the intelligence department of the Ministry of Defense that the Ice Lion Kingdom had urgently sent a large number of reinforcements to the northwest and northeast regions, he immediately decided to postpone the attack on the northwest and northeast regions.
Su Yi was not afraid of a bloody battle with the Ice Lion Country army in the northwest and northeast regions, but he was worried that the Yueyang Front Army under his command would fight too hard in the northwest and northeast regions, and what changes would be made to the battlefield of the Ice Lion Kingdom in the southwest region, Su Yi also hoped that the battlefield of the Ice Lion Country and the Blood Wolf Country in the southwest region would fight until they were exhausted!
Moreover, many places in the central region have just been pocketed by the Yueyang Front, so it can be said that the Yueyang Front Army has not yet fully mastered the entire central region, and now Su Yi also needs time to bring the entire central region under the jurisdiction of the Yueyang Front.
The great battle between the Blood Wolf Kingdom and the Ice Lion Kingdom in the southwest region of the Great Qin Kingdom was not affected by the capture of the Yueyang Front Army in the central region of the Great Qin Kingdom, and the fierce battle between the armies of the two sides was still very tragic.
As of the end of January of the year 2539 of the Divine Calendar, the number of dead in the army of the Ice Lion Country has approached 3.6 million, and the number of dead in the army of the Blood Wolf Country has reached almost 4.5 million.
The Ice Lion Kingdom and the Blood Wolf Kingdom did not care about the casualties of the civilians of the Great Qin Kingdom, and sometimes in order to increase the casualties on the other side, they would even blow up the cities of the Great Qin Kingdom garrisoned by the opposing army into ruins.
In the headquarters of the Blood Wolf Country Dispatch Army in Yanxi City, the capital of Ganchang Province of the Great Qin State, the commander-in-chief of the Blood Wolf Country Dispatch Army, Niad said to the commanders of the forty armies in a deep voice: "The battlefield between our Blood Wolf Country and the Ice Lion Country in the southwest region has been fiercely fighting for almost ten months, and our Blood Wolf Country's army has paid a very heavy price for this big battle, with more than four and a half million officers and soldiers killed alone, and many soldiers in the front-line troops have changed several times, but we still have not completely defeated the Ice Lion Country army. The northern part of Yongkang Province and the eastern part of Qiannan Province are still firmly in the hands of the Ice Lion Army. ”
Although the Army of the Blood Wolf Country only sent forty armies into the southwest region of the Great Qin State, it sent millions of additional troops to these forty armies, so that the establishment of these forty armies has not been too short.
The commander of the First Army of the Blood Wolf Country, Virito, frowned and said: "In order to compete with our Blood Wolf Country for the southwest region of the Great Qin Kingdom, the Ice Lion Country even reduced the number of their garrisons in other parts of the Great Qin Country, and even let the army of the Great Qin Kingdom take the opportunity to recapture the entire central region, so if we want to completely defeat the Ice Lion Country army on the battlefield in the southwest region, our Blood Wolf Country can only be consumed with the Ice Lion Country in this way until the Ice Lion Country can no longer bear it." ”
The commander-in-chief of the dispatch army, Niad, suddenly sighed and said: "Now that the Ice Lion Country can't bear it, our Blood Wolf Country is already a little unable to hold on, and the huge casualties have made the people in the country feel excited, and large-scale demonstrations have broken out in many cities demanding to stop this war, and most of the people participating in the march are the families of the fallen officers and soldiers." ”
Niad's words immediately made almost all the army commanders frown.
The commander of the Second Army of the Blood Wolf Nation Army, Luo Feite, immediately asked, "Commander, what is the opinion of the cabinet now?" ”
The commander-in-chief of the dispatch army, Niad, shook his head and said: "There are already several cabinet members, suggesting that negotiations with the Ice Lion State be held as soon as possible to reach an armistice agreement with the Ice Lion State to jointly divide the Great Qin State, and now the Prime Minister has sent a telegram asking if our dispatch army has any opinion on this, let's talk about it!" ”
"Commander, we can't just give up so easily, in the previous few fierce battles, the number of casualties in our Ninth Army alone exceeded 140,000, and now the recruits of the Ninth Army even account for 85% of the total number, even the division commanders under my command have two people who died in the line of duty, and paid such a big price, and the result is still to negotiate peace with the Ice Lion Country, how can we explain to those fallen soldiers!" The commander of the Ninth Army, Tergil, said urgently.
After the commander of the Ninth Army, Tergil, finished speaking, several more army commanders spoke one after another, saying that they did not want to start armistice negotiations with the Ice Lion Country, and should continue to fight with the Army of the Ice Lion State in the southwest region of the Great Qin State.
The commander of the First Army, Virito, hesitated for a moment and asked the commander-in-chief of the dispatch army, Niad, "Commander, what is your opinion?" ”
The commander-in-chief of the dispatch army, Niyad, smiled bitterly and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, although the prime minister sent a telegram to ask for the opinion of our dispatch army, since the prime minister can send this telegram, the opinion of our dispatch army is actually not important, and our dispatch army has no say in the armistice negotiations with the Ice Lion Country." ”
Field Marshal Kajano, who was commanding the Ice Lion Army's troops in the southwest region of the Great Qin Kingdom, was urgently recalled to Ice Lion City, the capital of the Ice Lion Country, by a telegram from Prime Minister Zahar.
"Kayano, I am in such a hurry to get you back because the Blood Wolf Country, through the Red Tiger Country, conveyed to our Ice Lion Country that it hopes to conduct armistice negotiations between the two countries and end this war between our two countries in the southwest region of the Great Qin Kingdom." Prime Minister Zahar said to Cajano in a deep voice.
Cajano pondered for a long time before asking, "Prime Minister, what are the opinions of the members of the cabinet?" ”
Prime Minister Zahar sighed and said: "Everyone is not unanimous, some people are very much in favor of starting armistice negotiations with the Blood Wolf Country, and some people are very opposed, as for those who oppose it, they all insist that the Blood Wolf Country cannot be allowed to obtain any benefits in the Great Qin State. ”
Field Marshal Cajano sighed and said: "Prime Minister, in my heart, I am not willing to start armistice negotiations with the Blood Wolf Country, but our Ice Lion Country army is on the battlefield in the southwest region, the losses are too great, and then we also need to guard against the Yueyang Front of the Great Qin State, stick to the northwest and northeast regions of the Great Qin State, maybe a truce with the Blood Wolf Country is also a correct choice for our Ice Lion Country, of course, the conditions for the armistice negotiations, our Ice Lion Country must fight for reason, At the very least, it has to share the southwest region of the Great Qin Kingdom equally with the Blood Wolf Country. ”
Due to the huge losses of the Ice Lion Country and the Blood Wolf Country on the battlefield in the southwest region of the Great Qin Kingdom, the two countries finally sat down at the negotiating table, but the armistice conditions offered by the two countries were too different, and the negotiators of the two countries were never able to agree on the armistice conditions.
While the Ice Lion Kingdom and the Blood Wolf Kingdom were secretly negotiating an armistice, the armies of the two sides in the southwest region of the Great Qin Kingdom still did not stop fighting.
The armies of the two countries even hope to rely on some victories on the battlefield and add more weight to their countries at the negotiating table.
This made the fierce battle between the Ice Lion Army and the Blood Wolf Country Army on the battlefield in the southwest region even more tragic after the two countries secretly began armistice negotiations.
The other countries did not know that the two countries had begun secret negotiations because there was no truce between the Ice Lion Kingdom and the Blood Wolf Country, and it was not until February 28, 2539 in the Divine Calendar, that the Ice Lion Kingdom and the Blood Wolf Kingdom suddenly jointly announced the end of the conflict between the two armies in the southwest region of the Great Qin State, and the other countries woke up from a dream.
