446 The Wonderful Use of National Independence

When the Ottoman Imperial Guards attacked, the Han army was dealing with the head and tail of the Russian army, so the Ottoman Imperial Guards still had a chance to break into the newly built Han army's oil-producing areas in Romania and wreak havoc.

However, the Ottoman Imperial Guards were held back for two weeks by the ordinary mobilized soldiers of a mere division on the border line!

You must know that the Han army used all the light and heavy weapons on the Russians, and used them to defend against the mobilized soldiers of the Ottoman Turkish Imperial Army, only the most basic improved Mauser rifles and grenades, which were not much different from the weapons of the elite Ottoman Guards Regiment.

However, even so, it took more than 100,000 people to break through and defeat a Han army mobilization of 10,000 men in a division and regiment, which was claimed to be the best in the Ottoman Turkish Empire......

With these two weeks, there was enough time for the Han army's armored divisions to mobilize a number of mechanized troops to block the infantry attack of the Ottoman Turkish Empire.

Initially, the Han army used only two armored divisions to stop the Ottoman Turkish Imperial Guards Corps' attack on the oil-producing areas of Romania, and the battle entered a stalemate.

As the reception of Russian prisoners of war and the liquidation of the remnants of the Russian army came to an end, more and more Han armored units were transferred to the direction of the Ottoman Imperial Guards Corps.

In just two weeks, the Ottoman Turkish Empire went through attack, confrontation, and defense...... The bitter journey of being defeated!

Although the Ottoman Imperial Guards Regiment claimed to be elite, it was actually no different from the regular army of the Russian Empire, and even its morale was even lower.

As a result, the Ottoman Imperial Guards Corps, after the Han armored division successfully turned the spearhead to attack, did not even have the strength to struggle, and was routed all the way to the end......

Of course, the Ottoman Turkish Empire was not surprised by the outcome of this kind of war, anyway, none of the European continental powers had won a battle under Lin Haoda, and it was natural that the Ottoman Turkish army was crushed.

The Ottoman Turkish Empire did not have much else, that is, there were many people, although the army in front of it had broken into sand and basically been abolished, but with the support of weapons and financial resources of the anti-Han allies, a new Ottoman army was rapidly forming and training, with the territory and population of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, as long as there were enough weapons, ammunition and financial support, the number of troops was completely unsuitable.

The caliph of the Ottoman Turkish Empire also knew in his heart that the leading powers of the anti-Han allies were using them as cannon fodder, but the caliphs of the Ottoman Turkish Empire were not disgusted by this, because Lin Haoda had already hit the border of the Ottoman Empire, and if he did not rely on the support of the anti-Han allies, with the combat strength of the Han army, he would only need a light push to tear the huge and bloated Ottoman Turkish Empire apart from within!

The rotten bureaucracy and the vast number of oppressed regional minorities made the Ottoman Empire a powder keg, and once the military power that sustained the empire collapsed, it was impossible to make a revolution!

It can be said that the moment Lin Haoda entered Romania, the Ottoman Turkish Empire had to be tied to the chariot of the anti-Han allies.

However, unlike the Ottoman Turkish Empire's envisioned Han army pursuing all the way to the capital, the Han army, under the order of Lin Haoda, did not have the principle of the Romanian oil-producing area, instead of sending a mixed column to sweep towards the Balkan Peninsula!

Of course, Lin Haoda really didn't think about occupying the territory this time, the Han army brazenly held high the banner of national liberation, cleansing the government system established by the Ottoman Turkish Empire and the weak local garrison troops along the way, and frequently contacted the local revolutionary organizations of various ethnic minorities.

After this kind of good thing spread rapidly in the Balkans, it suddenly raised the image of the Han people to a moral high ground, and a small column of the Han army, with the support of local national revolutionary organizations, easily swept away the foundation of the Ottoman Turkish Empire in the Balkans!

With a bunch of newly established national republics, the southern part of Romania had no worries, because the Ottoman Turkish Empire could no longer border Romania......

Lin Haoda's practice of disintegrating the power of the Ottoman Turkish Empire in the Balkans at a very small price and erecting a barrier out of thin air stunned the anti-Han allies, who did not expect the national revolution to play such a game......

Revolutionaries are very realistic people, the anti-Han allies want to maintain their status as world hegemons, and the Han army is a 'friend' who came to help them liberate and become independent.

As a result, the Romanian region was faced with a two-sided situation, and the first target of the new army formed in the rear of the Ottoman Turkish Empire became the national republics of the Balkan Peninsula......

Even, under the tandem of the Han army, these local ethnic minorities formed a trend of joint resistance and resolutely resisted the invasion of the Ottoman Turkish Empire!

The national republics that were originally independent from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, after getting rid of the attack of the Ottoman Empire, also supported the enemy with the same hatred, and some countries even sent expeditionary forces into the Balkans to assist the nation-states above to defend against the counterattack of the Ottoman Turkish Empire.

With the combat effectiveness of the new army of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, I don't know how much effort it will take to retake the Balkans......

Lin Haoda never regarded the Ottoman Turkish Empire as a real opponent, and his goal was always only one - the Russian Empire!

Lao Maozi's combat effectiveness and population were equivalent to a major pillar of the anti-Han allies, coupled with the fact that the 500,000 regular troops of the Russian Empire were wiped out, which undoubtedly became a better strategy, and most importantly, many territories under the control of the Russian Empire also had ethnic groups that longed for independence.

This way of easily disintegrating the European Empire made Lin Haoda deeply fascinated, because he no longer had to worry about the lack of troops, and he could concentrate on attacking the anti-Han allies and crushing them one by one!

Of course, such a disturbance of the inherent order of the parallel world also has indescribable benefits for the total war system itself, and soon Lin Haoda will receive a new surprise!
