(Original Chapter Name: Broken Ground)

On the way to the country, the festival was shattered. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info is not a citizen, not a soldier, but the Ashina Sabiha Emperor......

It is said that the Tasman Empire walked in the years of national demise, first civil unrest (if it succeeded, it would be called revolution), then mutiny (called uprising in the history books of the new country), and then one after another, one after another, one international dispute, or for some reason or nonsense, perhaps it should be called the signing ceremony of unequal treaties and the process of promoting their signing.

The once mighty Tasman Empire was embroiled in an arms race in a misguided manner, spilling its wealth into the sea in a frenzied way, and finally burying the country step by step. As he was too weak to be busy with the civil war, all his old friends came together. Old friends, it's time for a feast, it's a feast, a delicious turkey, scorched on the outside and tender on the inside, there is important land outside, silver is hidden inside, hurry up, hurry up and grab it, it's gone when it's late......

。。

Disaster Since October 95 of the B century, the Tyrannosaurus Rex brand turkey has been exposed by the "Real Battlefield 315". In the Battle of Cape Roquedel, the painting skin of the world's sixth largest power was ruthlessly exposed by a small strong emerging country, and the dilapidated façade of this old empire could no longer be bluffed. The Tasman Empire is strong and powerful on the surface, but it is actually weak and weak, and the real powerful countries decisively operate their knives and forks and start to eat, and in the plans drawn up by these really powerful dignitaries, the Tasman Empire, which is still alive, will be completely divided.

On February 20, 96 of the B century, an international conference of great historical significance was held in the capital of our country, Fort Sophia, the Saxony-Windsor Empire led many countries to participate, a total of 50 dignitaries and entourages from ten countries came to the capital of our country for a collective friendly visit, in the eastern feudal countries this may be called "forced palace", anyway, roughly that meaning.

At this time, our country is devouring the Tasman Empire, a friendly neighbor that has been peaceful and mutual trust for decades, and the turkey is fragrant, and friends have smelled it, and they have seen our country's increasingly ugly eating appearance. Needless to say, we know what they mean. Previously, the Salman-Windsor Empire had made it clear that it was concerned about the situation around the United Empire, and had sent several notes to our foreign affairs department. These diplomatic documents are useless rhetoric, except for the absence of the word aggressor, because the Saxony-Windsor Empire wants to do the same, which is tacitly approved.

In the reception hall of our state guests converted from the royal palace, our country's foreign minister Selena Constantine and many government dignitaries treated these servants with state courtesy, and both the guests and the host maintained the gentlemanly demeanor that the upper class should have. These foreign friends really care about our country:

"Friend, you're eating too fast, it's not good for your health."

"Dude, if this continues, will your finances be under pressure?"

"Will our military spending cause a big fiscal deficit?"

"The Tasman Empire is not an ordinary country, he was once a superpower, so be careful"

"Although the Tasman Empire's navy has been destroyed, his army is still largely intact."

"If the Tasman Empire counterattacks, will you be able to resist, their army is very powerful."

……

In fact, the only meaning of these servant states is: "Dear, don't eat all, leave some for me." ”

The Saxony-Windsor Empire was the boss of the group, and there were only five people at the twenty-three seats at the conference table in the small conference room of the inner palace of the palace. On our side, the Speaker of Parliament, who is also the Secretary of Defense, Northrop Emilius Caesar, has a translator and a confidential recorder. On the side of the Saxony Windsor Empire, a representative, a confidential secretary. What is going on here is real negotiations. It is true that the number of people in the meeting is inversely proportional to the significance of the meeting.

(The 7,000-person conference organized by Chao XX didn't even open a hair for a week, and the most important significance of this meeting is that the 7,000 people who participated in the meeting were well fed and well-fed in those days.) Back then, Deng Moumou, Ye Moumou, Li Moumou, and possibly Bo Moumou, several people negotiated for an hour in a certain barracks, and everything changed for us. ）

The representative of the Saxony-Windsor Empire was the Duke of Herman Norton, the former commander of the Imperial Navy detachment, and now a great businessman, a member of the upper council. This dignitary of aristocratic blood and military background has always been straightforward and humorous.

"Brother Caesar of the United Empire, let's not listen to it, you are only because you are too close to this piece of meat to have this blessing. You don't have to worry, we do justice and make you spit out. Hahaha. ”

"I know that you Julius Caesar are not worried, your army has always been strong enough, and you also know that I also like to eat turkey, I have long seen that those barbarians are unhappy."

"I invested in a canal project, and I actually lost money, what is the reason? They actually dared to confiscate the canal in which I had invested. ”

"I've heard that the flounder and crab in Ruth Island taste very good."

"Ruth Island is very close to the Karan Canal, and I don't have your fleet there."

"I'd love to go on vacation to Ruth Island, and I don't like to carry my passport yet."

"Ruth Island is much bigger than Vera, but you control the entire Vera and the surrounding area, not counting ...... That's a lot more than Ruth Island. ”

……

The talks ended quickly. The fate of an empire with a huge territory of hundreds of years of history was divided up by various technological countries until its demise. The dignitaries of the two powerful powers decided the fate of this great empire of acting schools in the future, without considering the meaning of the Tasman Emperor. Decades ago, years ago, and even months before this, these two powerful factions had been fully respectful of this ancient empire. But the world has changed, technology is strong and big after falling, after the two industrial revolutions, the rules of the jungle of the world are like this. The explosion of technological and industrial power is far more powerful than the accumulation of a century of plundering wealth.

In fact, these two powerful empires don't have to take these barbarians seriously for a long time, look at the warships of the Tasman Empire, is there one really built by itself!?? If all the high-tech countries stop supplying the empire's marine equipment and other steel products, in a few years, its navy will return to the era of sail warships; His army may also use ancient Roman army-style stonethrowers again.

。。

After the meeting, countries began to take action. At this time, Emperor Ashina Sabiha of the Tasman Empire still thought that his country was only in a small trouble temporarily, and as long as it was handled properly, everything would be resolved smoothly. Michael Jordan: Be proactive in everything. The nomadic nature of the blood has made the Ashina family know how to respect the strong, just as they are keen to bully the weak.

As early as early February, on the day of "I protest and I strongly protest", the emperor, who was keen on collecting money, sent a special envoy to our country to pray for talks. The emperor carefully studied all the archives of the imperial war history and was deeply impressed by the strong combat effectiveness of our army. At the beginning of the B century, because the Ashina family wanted to rob relatives, the imperial navy was shaved bald, in the middle of the B century, the army of the Ashina family was twice defeated by Julius Caesar, and the war at the end of the B century had just been lost, in Vera, the descendants of Julius Caesar let the imperial army see the strength of ships and guns. If you lose, you have to admit it, and the barbarian is still commendable.

Reverence for the powerful was an important reason for the defection of the foreign forces of the Vera Front, and the same psychological effect may have happened to the emperor. The Emperor's envoy had asked for more than 10 boxes of gold to meet with our superiors, and the ship that had brought him was loaded with silver, and there were more than 100 tons of Imperial silver coins in the hold. "A gift to the descendants of Julius Caesar." "Your country's faith is very pious, and our Emperor has deep respect for it." "I don't know if this is enough for your country's military spending this time." "I hope that the two countries can have peaceful exchanges in the future."

Maybe it's called kneeling licking. A bribe without any political discipline and professional ethics, the bribery of the head of the feudal state with the national wealth in private, was entirely for the sake of his own family, for his position, and if so, for the sake of the country and the people, this person would have consciously stepped down a long time ago.

Our top brass issued an internal notice on the Tasman Emperor's undisciplined gift-giving, informing all parliamentarians and army generals of the matter. The shipload was sent to the Imperial Mint to be used to make commemorative medals. The gifts received by the Speaker and important members of parliament, totaling 20 boxes of gold of 500 ounces each, were also handed over to the State Treasury. This precious metals diplomacy failed.

With the devouring of the revolted areas of the empire by our country, in the months that followed, the rich silver emperor repeatedly sent envoys, bribes, bribes, and bribes. Expand the scope and increase the quota. To facilitate bribery, the country even converted more than 6,000 tons of silver into gold, which was deposited in 1,000 ounces of UBS International Bank's convertible bearer gold certificates of deposit. Since the second silver diplomacy, the envoy has used these certificates of deposit to give gifts, but he will no longer transport silver to support our military expenses. Our country continued to integrate the insurrectionary army, reorganize and distribute salaries, control the insurrectionary areas to distribute money and food, set up local officials to establish political and legal forces, restore production and enrich the people's livelihood, and completely eat and digest everything that can be eaten. My country, which can't eat, has not let go, selling weapons at low prices, training fast-track officers, and giving all kinds of financial support, with a very clear purpose, to toss the Tasman Empire to death, really die.

Seeing this posture, the emperor finally stopped this extremely disgusting act of shitting, gave up his illusions like a real head of state, and prepared for a struggle. All he could prepare was to fight the rebels, and at that time he was no longer able to put up a fight with our army. The emperor sometimes regretted that if he hadn't done it that big the first time, the result might have been different. What happens if you send enough money to the right person the first time, and keep it completely confidential?

The feudal emperor did not seem to understand what the national will of a modern state was. The top level of our country has long made clear the established state policy of the country's continuous weakening until its demise, and the power of the state belongs to the parliament, not to the powerful minister. Most of the legislators are from wealthy backgrounds, and their wealth is tied to the fate of the country, and they can only work for the interests of the country. In addition, parliamentarians also supervise each other, and even guard against each other, and it is impossible for parliamentarians to give up their political prospects and do things that are too outrageous.

It is impossible to use the brains of the dictators of feudal countries to figure out the thinking of the elite leaders of modern countries. The rulers of the Tasman Empire used this mindset that was far behind the times to confront the modern state, and they were doomed from failure to defeat to extinction.

After the war, our top brass learned that not only our dignitaries had received 1,000 ounces of golden tickets, but also that many dignitaries in Saxony, Windsor and other countries had also seen the emperor's generosity, and they all handled it in a similar way. Eventually, all of the empire's gold-ticket diplomacy failed.

Long before the forced friendly visit, the Saxony-Windsor Empire had taken action against the Isle of Ruth and the Karan Canal, and it was not until the two sides signed a secret treaty that the Duke of Norton informed Speaker Caesar, "Before dusk to-morrow, our army will occupy the main port of Ruth Island, inform your people, do not injure yourself." ”

At dawn on 21 February, the detachment of our cruisers, which was hurrying to Ruth Island, was ordered to halt its advance, which was still a few dozen nautical miles away. At this time, the remnants of the Tasman Empire's dejected fleet, which had just returned home, were escorting the army to Ruth Island, but the rebels on the island only had two destroyers rented by the Hallelujah Church, which was obviously at a disadvantage. Fearing for the lives of the island's residents, the fleet commander repeatedly asked his superiors if they could intercept the Tasman fleet. The superior informed the fleet that it could move, and that there might be an Imperial fleet in Saxony and Windsor nearby, and that care should be taken not to accidentally injure it. Soon, the fleet commander realized that his fears were purely unnecessary.

At 10 a.m. that day, the main battleship fleet of the Saxony Windsor Empire encountered the Tasman Empire convoy......

At dusk that day, Ruth Island welcomed the largest warship stationed on the island. Previously, Tasman supply transport ships entered the port, unloaded supplies, and loaded troops. The Imperial Army left here forever. In the middle of the same month, at the suggestion of the Bishop of the Hallelujah Diocese, all the inhabitants of Ruth Island joined the Saxony-Windsor Empire.

The Saxony-Windsor Empire's control of the Karan Canal was not so smooth, and it was the heavily defended area of the Tasman Empire, and the money bag on which the country depended. The Saxony-Windsor Empire, which had already occupied Cape Roquedel, decided to be patient, there was always an opportunity. After the division of the Tasman Empire, the important place fell into the hands of a self-reliant Imperial General, who began to take the initiative to contact the Saxony-Windsor Empire in order to rebuild the country......

Finally, the Saxony-Windsor Empire was given the main management of the canal in 99 of the B century. Compared with the United Empire of our country, which expanded its territory and enriched the people to collect taxes, the Windsor Empire was keen on setting up cards and charging fees on key roads, and he attached great importance to strategic locations. I don't know which way is better.

。。

That night, Emperor Ashina Sabiha couldn't sleep. In addition, the two powerful empires were attacked by sea and land; Internally, riots and mutinies in various places, unprecedented difficulties and disasters. But until this time, the emperor still felt that the empire should not fall, and his only fear was a large-scale attack from the St. Mary's Empire.

During the rapid demise of the Tasman Empire, the only major foreign war in the empire mainland took place between the two countries.

What should come will always come. Ever since the Tasman Empire's Tyrannosaurus Rex painting skin was exposed by the flames of war, the St. Mary's Empire has been waiting for the best time to intervene, not only in terms of the balance of power between the enemy and us, but more importantly, the cooperation and acquiescence of other world powers. On March 15, B96, the country finally waited for the perfect time, hallelujah. The army of St. Mary's Empire slaughtered the Crystal River Valley......

March 15, B96 was not a good day for the Tasman Empire, the thing that did not want him to come finally came, the Tasman Empire's pagan neighbor St. Mary's Empire has always remembered the war more than 100 years ago in the history of the two countries, and the 60,000 captured St. Mary's Halleluja soldiers experienced the skilled slaughtering skills of Tasman Empire soldiers, and since then St. Mary's Empire has become a landlocked country. On this day of the year, the army of St. Mary's Empire marched towards the Crystal River Valley. They only need to break through a few hills on the border between the two countries to reach the abundant Crystal Valley. It was an incomparably fertile area, with an area of more than 70,000 square kilometers, accounting for 1% of the territory of the Tasman Empire, but supplying 20% of the total consumption of barley and other high-quality grains in the Empire, which only produced one season a year, so the quality was very good, and basically served as the Empire's military rations. There are so many armies in the Empire?? Not only people eat, but the imperial army horses also eat food, and military horses are better than the people at the bottom who eat better.

For a long time, the self-sufficiency of food produced in the Tasman Empire was somewhat reluctant, in the past, the empire sent a large army to press the border to ask other countries for food to supplement the military food and official food, you don't give us to rob it, and later it was mainly the colonies that provided surplus food all year round to meet the luxury and waste needs of families above the middle class, and high-quality grain was exclusively for military food and official food. This year, however, the prolific colony has been lost. For an industrial country, 20% of the food supply gap can be filled by exporting industrial products and importing grain, but an agricultural country itself does not export high value-added industrial products, so how can this food gap be filled? ! This place is worthy of the St. Mary's Empire's troops to rob it, and the Tasman Empire must also defend it desperately.

The attacking St. Mary's Empire is a semi-industrialized country with developed industry and mining, but his food supply has been in short supply, and he has long wanted to attack this grain-producing area. The St. Mary's Imperial Army was determined to succeed and committed 10 regiments of the new army, with a total of more than 700,000 attacking troops. As a landlocked country, he does not need to invest anything in the expensive navy. The main content of his arms race is to train his own new army corps. This operation has a certain flavor of testing the results of the arms race.

The new Army Corps of the St. Mary's Empire is the first multi-arm synthetic mobile attack force on the continent with a composite division as a unit, and it has a bit of the flavor of a modern army synthetic infantry division. Each corps has 4 synthetic divisions, plus a number of support auxiliaries such as baggage engineers. The establishment and tactics of such synthesizers were theoretically 20 years ahead of this era. For the first time, it adopted the three-three division, which only existed in the late stage of World War I, and the division directly governed three infantry regiments (three infantry battalions) and one artillery regiment (24 105 howitzers, 8 guns and one battalion, deployed in battalion units). In terms of firepower allocation, the heavy artillery of the regiment was delegated to the division level, and the divisional artillery was delegated to the regiment, the infantry regiment had its own exclusive heavy artillery support force, and the machine gun firepower of the battalions under the regiment was allocated to the company level, and the combat effectiveness of the grassroots units was greatly improved. The regiment has become an assault unit with strong combat effectiveness, capable of independently undertaking combat tasks such as breakthrough and defense.

The country used the money from other countries to buy warships to buy a new weapon, the tank. At that time, the country was armed with the famous Vickers 6-ton tank. Each composite division consisted of a tank battalion of 62 vehicles per battalion (the number of horses in the original cavalry company), replacing the obsolete cavalry units. At that time, the tank coordination tactics had not yet been developed, and the country used the tank as the smallest input unit as the battalion as the assault cavalry. In this war, he launched a god-level steel cavalry charge that coordinated the mobilization of 5 corps with a total of about 16 tank battalions.

For this operation, the Tasman Empire army has also been prepared for a long time, and a large number of fortresses have been built in the border hills, and a total of 7 elite field regiments with a total of 340,000 troops have been sent to this area, counting the original garrison of a foreign border regiment and border fortress troops, the total number of troops invested has reached an astonishing 430,000 people.

The elite field regiment of the Tasman Empire adopts a standardized establishment, divided into two types: ordinary regiment and cavalry regiment, and the selection of personnel is required to be as close as possible to their own people, at least those who have the same beliefs as their own people, as the main force on which the empire depends on loyalty is the first important, and having the same faith is the most basic guarantee of loyalty. Influenced by the barbarian cavalry tradition, the country's field troops are still obviously too cavalry-heavy in their establishment, which is also related to the country's vast territory and extremely high mobility requirements for field troops. (The establishment above the division is imitated by the Jith dog scum gang system, and the division is modeled after the Tatar dog offal)

A standard ordinary Imperial native field regiment consists of three cavalry divisions and three infantry divisions, a cannon artillery regiment (36 100 mm cannons), and auxiliary units such as engineers, logistics, and baggage. The whole regiment had 50,000 men. This establishment is a peacetime establishment, and during the war, reserve troops and other foreign troops were added, and it became a full-fledged field corps with a cavalry corps and an infantry corps as the core, with a total strength of about 100,000 troops. Cavalry divisions are almost all native people, while infantry divisions are composed of a large number of foreigners.

Divisional and equipped

The elite cavalry division of the Tasman Imperial Army has three cavalry regiments, one artillery battalion, and one independent cavalry battalion; 4 battalions per regiment, 4 companies per battalion, 2 platoons per company, 2 squads per platoon, 14 soldiers per squad. The regiment has a total of 896 combat soldiers, 596 miscellaneous soldiers, 108 reserve soldiers, and 1,056 war horses. The artillery battalion is equipped with 18 detachable and loadable 80mm howitzers. The independent cavalry battalion has one cavalry company and three heavy machine gun companies (a total of 18 13 mm heavy machine guns, loaded by horses), with more than 6,400 officers and men in the division, and a total of more than 7,000 horses and pack horses. The elite cavalry divisions of the Native Cavalry Division were extremely well-armed in individual light weapons, each armed with three major pieces, a short rifle, a 13 mm revolver and a scimitar.

Ordinary cavalry divisions are similarly staffed, with a poorer configuration of individual weapons, usually only one rifle, and some units lacking machine guns and howitzers.

The elite infantry division of the Tasman Imperial Army has two brigades, four regiments and other logistical support units. The brigade has a heavy firearms battalion equipped with 6 heavy machine guns and 12 80mm infantry guns; Each regiment has about 1,500 men, with three battalions and a machine gun company, equipped with 4 13mm heavy machine guns and 4 light machine guns; The infantry battalion consists of three companies, each usually armed with 6 to 9 light machine guns, 2-3 per company. There are more than 7,500 officers and soldiers in the division. Individual infantry light weapons are average, with 1 rifle, 1 shell gun and 1 broadsword per person. Heavy machine gun caliber 13 mm, light machine gun rifle caliber 6 mm, revolver gun 13 mm.

The establishment of ordinary infantry divisions composed of foreigners is similar, and the individual weapons are usually only rifles and a broadsword, and the corresponding levels of establishment are equipped with less automatic firepower and heavy firepower, and there may even be some understaffing.

The corps had 12 infantry regiments and 9 cavalry regiments, with an infantry ratio of 4:3.

A cavalry field regiment has 6 cavalry divisions, a very small number of engineering logistics and baggage troops, and the whole regiment has only 42,000 men. In wartime, it can be split into multiple cavalry corps.

Briefly calculated, the troops participating in the war of the Imperial Army were established in peacetime, and they had not yet had time to carry out the national general commander, so there was no need to make a big move in the border war. The total strength of the troops sent to participate in the battle is 5 cavalry corps and 2 infantry corps, of which these five cavalry corps are almost all imperial troops, the absolute main force of the national pillar, I look at it as if it is going to attack. The armies of the Barbarian Empire have always liked to attack. This?

In addition, the war clouds around the empire were thick, and from February onwards, these would-be troops began to pay their salaries in silver, with the previous month's salaries paid on the 3rd of each month, and the February salaries on April 3rd. The officers and soldiers were very happy to receive the silver military salary again, but the happiness came too suddenly, and there might not be a good result at that time.

On March 15, B96, the last thing Emperor Ashina Sabiha wanted him to come finally came, and the Tasman Empire's neighbor, St. Mary's Empire, has always remembered the war more than 100 years ago in the history of the two countries. He's finally at the right time, hallelujah. The army of St. Mary's Empire slaughtered the Crystal River Valley......

Day0 the day before the attack, March 14.

Until this day, there was still no sign of the enemy army going to attack. The offensive involves gathering troops near the breach, placing a large number of artillery in front of the breach, and at the very least, you have to be prepared to shoot at the position. No, neither. The defenders are comfortable. There are good reasons for the comfort of these war years, on the gently undulating hills, the bunkers and trenches form a multi-line of defense that the infantry cannot pass, and on the higher hills behind, there are forts, 160 mm, 180 mm, 220 mm, and hundreds of fortress guns of various calibers to achieve seamless coverage of the entire defense line, waiting for the enemy to attack. This is a product of the local tyrant's participation in the arms race. At that time, after the old emperor built the first batch of battleships in the empire, he looked at the thick barrel and felt that the army also had to get a few guns, the deterrent power of this thing was absolutely good, buy a hundred and eighty guns for the old enemy to see. As a result, the Tasman Empire Army, which has always advocated mobile warfare, has this fortress defense line. On the border line, huge artillery pieces are lined up on fortified batteries. Looking at those cannons, the defenders of any era would have had confidence in this fortified line.

The first day of the D1 offensive, March 15.

On this day, fake military powers or erroneous military theories were once again exposed by actual combat.

"In the four sections of our defense area, there are countless moving iron batteries that easily rushed through the defense line, and the infantry weapon fire had no effect on it, and the artillery fire accuracy was too poor, and the rush was too fast, and it could not hit at all."

"The enemy has a weapon called tanks, which rushed into the line of defense and constantly fired at our soldiers, and the tanks rushed in groups and directly to the rear of the line of defense, where the reserves of our army were in disarray before they had time to rush to prepare for battle, and the troops behind those lines did not expect that the line would be broken through in the morning"

"The forward positions were so damaged that we had to retreat to the nearest battery. We wanted to fire at the enemy with artillery, but the enemy was behind the defensive line, so the cannon could only go forward. ”

"We were actually attacked fiercely behind the defensive line, it was a weapon called tanks, some with machine guns, some with cannons, much smaller than ours, but our artillery could not hit them, we had no fortifications to hide, no weapons to destroy it, a large group of tanks, we could not deal with it, we had to flee. There was no way, so I had to flee in all directions. ”

In the battle on the morning of March 15, the attacking tank units, which had attacked almost all fronts, broke through the defending lines. But not every place achieved a real breakthrough, at that time the tank troops fought alone, without infantry cooperation, broke through, could not hold, after the breakthrough also needed infantry to occupy the breakthrough, clear the enemy there, but also did not understand tank warfare The defenders gave the attacking side "multiple clearance breakthroughs".

"The assault was launched without fire preparation, and just like those cavalry, all 16 small breaches were successfully penetrated, and the rear of the enemy army was in disarray, and before noon many defenders of the enemy line blew up the batteries and artillery and fled. The general led us boldly forward, and we dragged the cannon over and fired at them on their batteries. Ha ha. We really occupied the place, and we also received tank units here. ”

On that day, the attacking tanks and the defending cavalry engaged in a battle. The tank troops stopped and attacked the rushing cavalry with machine guns and artillery, the tanks lined up in multiple columns, alternately covering, and the cavalry had difficulty putting the ignited explosives on the tanks, and these explosive packs killed the groups of cavalry. The tank units, which had run out of fuel before noon, withdrew, but the breakthrough was already in the hands of the attackers. In the afternoon, the defenders sent a large number of cavalry, and each breakthrough threw a cavalry division.

Shock, shock, the counterattack of the defending cavalry units against the breakthrough continued until dusk, the attacking reserve tank units and the stranded tank units reinforced these breakthroughs in time, the tanks formed a line of defense on the small hills, a number of tanks on the top of the hill formed a fire point, the rifle machine gun fire under the protection of the tank opened fire fiercely, and it was almost impossible for the cavalry to approach these lines. Charge after charge, defeat after failure, and near dusk, it is no longer possible to organize an attacking force. One of the desperate Tasman cavalry division commanders reported to his general that night that the "counteroffensive had failed" and then blew himself up with an explosive pack.

The second day of the D2 offensive, March 16.

The Tasman Empire in the last years was still proud, and the army of the Army Empire was still as strong as it was back then.

On this day, the defender's counterattack began, still in the traditional way of cavalry penetration, attacking in multiple ways, flexible and mobile, and 7 cavalry divisions were put into action to launch counterattack and penetration operations in each of their sections. The attacking side was caught off guard, and the front-line troops suffered heavy casualties, and the attacked units were forced to shrink into villages and towns with buildings and sheltered woods. At this time, all kinds of automatic weapons delegated from regimental units to battalion and company units played their due role, greatly inhibiting the combat effect of the enemy's cavalry. At noon, the tank battalions went into battle, swept away the enemy cavalry and relieved the besieged own troops. The Tasman Army's counterattack failed.

The defenders also invested a number of infantry divisions and cavalry divisions to counterattack the breach, and attacked at any cost with crowd tactics, because the attacking tank and infantry units were replenished and backed up with ammunition, and the firepower was abundant, and the counterattack failed.

In the afternoon of the same day, an unintentional concentration of the attacking tank forces was made, and a new world-class tactic was born. The commander of the seven tank battalions of the attacking force was almost grouped together to sweep away the enemy cavalry and defend the breach, and the commander of the regiment proposed that five of the seven battalions be dispatched to launch a tentative attack on the enemy, with the aim of trying to counterattack the enemy forces who had recovered the line at the breach. At that time, the St. Mary's Empire understood the tank as a heavy cavalry without horses, and the attacking enemy forces were in a state of assembly, including light cavalry and infantry, which happened to be the target of heavy cavalry. At 16 o'clock, the counterattack began, and at 17:20, the counterattacking troops succeeded, won a great victory and began to retreat. The enemy forces assembled here were completely routed. This may be the first time that humans have used the tactics of a massive tank cluster.

The third day of the D3 offensive, March 17.

The attackers, who had tasted the sweetness of the concentrated use of tanks, concentrated 16 tank battalions and nearly 1,000 tanks, and attacked at dawn, targeting the defender's material transfer station 40 kilometers behind the battle line, which is also the location of the front line headquarters......

As the morning approached the morning, the attacking attack was successful, the defenders lost their unity of command and logistical attack, and the troops carried out the final order of the headquarters - the whole line was retreated, but the attacking tanks pursued and intercepted on the way, and the retreat turned into a rout in the afternoon of the same day.

There is no doubt that the Tasman Empire army here put up a resolute resistance, and was defeated, and was defeated in only three days, and the whole line was crushed. It's not that the heavy artillery that I have been worried about is out of shells, and the heavy artillery shells on the front line were captured by the enemy before they finished firing. The enemy adopted a mode of combat that had never been seen before, unheard of. The whole world has opened its eyes.

This epoch-making battle for the Crystal Valley broke out and ended in lightning, and the Tasman Empire was dazzled, the invincible army of the Tasman Empire, which had been defeating the St. Mary's Empire in history, was actually defeated, and the elite troops participating in the war, countless undefeated and legendary imperial armies in history were actually defeated by the St. Mary's Empire army in just a few dozen hours.

Emperor Ashina Sabiha, of course, wanted to organize a counterattack, but the generals of the Ministry of Defense told the emperor that they could no longer organize armed forces of this scale in the short term. At this time, the civil strife in the country intensified, and all the non-central provinces of the country appeared in various degrees of rebellion, and more and more troops either became rebels or were ordered to fight the rebels. It is difficult to draw troops of this size!

The mainland's largest army power has no troops to use. Sad!

Starting from a small island, to a major city, to a sizable portion of the pagan region, and now across the country, this series of successive rebellions has been far larger and more repercussive than one could have imagined. The rebellious Emperor Ashina began to worry that the country might really die. Where did he think that since the day the surrounding powers began to have ideas, the empire was on the verge of extinction.

The only choice for Emperor Ashina Sabiha was to make peace, and negotiate peace without restraint. The former defeated Sainte-Marie Empire must have offered a lot of money, and the entire Crystal Valley region, plus 3,000 tons of silver for war costs and 3,000 tons of silver for compensation.

"Nima, this is my territory, you beat me, ask me for war money, and rob my land, and I want to pay you money!! Which is this!! Two 3000 tons, obviously double charges, is it a long-distance plus roaming!? ”

"How can I look at this treaty so familiarly, there is it in the royal historical archives, originally, it is the words of a few places that have been changed......"

"Then sign it, the last page of the treaty, Party A, Party B, change this position, I have to sign in the position where my ancestor signed."

"What, don't change a word, then you can consult with me what to do. This is for the hair pinch!? Why is this hypocrisy a man? ”

"the nobility of the winner, the name can't fall behind the loser, you problem! Won't you win! My ancestors have won a lot! ”

"Okay, this unequal treaty is also recognized by the emperor, and I will sign it."

6,000 tons of silver, there is still in the treasury, and we have to pay close attention to replenishing the inventory in the past few months. Let him go with him the piece of land he wants to go, the army's food can be downgraded, and the cavalry will be converted to infantry, and the food consumption will be less. The most important thing right now is to put out the fire and put out the fire in your own house. Seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, the rebellion spread from the border areas and islands to the hinterland......

After signing the contract, the emperor of scumbag blood also did one more thing, a very bad thing, something completely undisciplined. In order to save two silver dollars, the emperor made the most undisciplined decision in the history of imperial warfare, and did not give the military pay and pension of the retreating troops. Anyway, Lao Tzu is the emperor, what can you do with Lao Tzu??!!

(Damn, this is a shameless thing!) It's not personal! ）

Too many of the empire's own people were killed in this battle, because the cavalry soldiers in the seven military formations participating in the war were all their own people, and there were only a few foreigners in logistics. These people are really under the same military flag as His Majesty the Emperor, and they are all desperate to rush to the front. In this battle, 60,000 people were killed and more than 30,000 were wounded.

According to the rules of the imperial ancestors, the pension of the people of the clan was 400 dinars or 1,200 grams of silver per person, and 800 dinars and 2,400 grams of silver for officers and children with children. The disabled also had 2,400 grams of silver each. Counting last month's military salary, these imperial military masters had to take more than 250 tons of silver from the treasury, and the emperor was a little reluctant. What should I do, the ancestral regulations have been changed, and the emperor said: "From now on, there will be no more pensions, no discrimination, no foreign army, no own army." It's called fairness! ”

Serving the country desperately, wives and daughters live on the streets, which country's fairness is this? It's not fair!!

Emperor Ashina Sabiha certainly knew that this was not fair. But if it's fair, you'll have to spend a lot of money. That's white silver, and that's all the ancestors left behind. I really can't bear to give it away.

The treasury is already empty. The treasury is now much larger than before, but it is almost entirely silver, and very little gold. The emperor vaguely remembered that when he was a child, there was still a lot of gold in the treasury, but unfortunately, it is almost all now. At that time, the fiscal and taxation system was still functioning, and silver could be recorded and spent every month, and at that time, one of the important tasks of the royal family was to spend all the silver in the treasury at any time. But now they have to guard the silver.

After the 6,000 tons of silver for the fulfillment of the treaty were shipped away, the treasury vacated several large warehouses, empty or decorated with something? What's more, copper? Iron?
