480 fought for negotiations
Miao Shengye felt that he was really old, he was only in his thirties, and he was finally abandoned by this ever-changing world - he obviously felt powerless, especially in the face of the enemy's air force. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
On February 5, the day after the main force of the Japanese army on the Korean Peninsula was annihilated by the Ming Empire, he had not yet shaken off the shock of the end of the war in the north of the Ming Empire, and the Ming Empire's attack on Ceylon began.
At this time, he was sitting in a car on the way to the rear port of Quy Nhon, speeding down the road - he was going to meet the commander of the expeditionary fleet of the British Royal Navy, Commander Balek? Admiral Lem.
Because Da Nang is already within the attack radius of the bombers of the Ming Empire, Miao Shengye and Balek? Admiral Lem was reluctant to put the fleet in a dangerous position.
He went this time to discuss with the commander of the British fleet the feasibility of a sneak attack on Luzon, that is, the Philippines. He wants to cut off the oil supply line of the Ming Empire here, and find an opportunity to annihilate the main force of the Ming Empire's Nanyang Navy.
However, the shock from the plane really made Miao Shengye feel the crisis - the Ming Empire not only had a weapon that could cross the defense line to attack the opponent's supply lines and cities, but also a terrifying weapon that could cross the strait!
If the Ming Empire were to take control of the Southeast Peninsula and gain a foothold on some islands, Ceylon would likely encounter an embarrassing problem.
The problem is that the bombers of the Ming Empire taking off from these islands can attack Greater Luzon, the most important territory of Ceylon!
Once the industrial base, ports, and residential areas of Greater Luzon are bombed, Ceylon's already comprehensively inferior economy and industry will completely lose their integrity -- this is a situation that Miao Shengye does not want to see.
However, is the battleship fleet of the British Empire really capable of helping Ceylon hold the southeast peninsula and forcing the Ming Empire to submit?
Originally, Miao Shengye was full of confidence, but when he saw hundreds of bombers from the Ming Empire patronizing Da Nang and other areas, he was no longer so sure.
How happened that Miao Shengye was going to meet with Balek, the commander of the Royal Navy Expeditionary Fleet of the British Empire? Admiral Lem, so he left the seat of Lai Yat.
Just a few hours after he left, the Ming Empire, in order to seize the time and get more benefits before the negotiations, launched a fierce attack on the surrounding areas of Vientiane.
Sima Mingwei ceded the important city of Vientiane and handed it over to the 4th Army, which had moved from the other side, and in turn took the 5th Army with him and fought on the flank further west of Vientiane.
He first shifted his troops, stormed Nanfu and Phra Fu, which were close to Vientiane, and crossed the river to storm Cheng Yi, seemingly forgetting the strategic point of Vientiane all of a sudden.
Miao Shengye's commanders who remained in Li Yi were not prepared for the opponent's jump attack in other directions this time when they gave up their onslaught to the south and moved to other directions, and they suddenly fell into passivity.
When Miao Shengye got the news, he could only let his subordinates retreat with their troops and stabilize the defense line in the Sukhothai area for the time being.
However, in this way, Chiang Mai and Lampun, as well as Lampang and other regions, were all surrounded by the 5th Army of the Ming Empire - although the strength was not much, it was also a border army of 20,000 or 30,000 people, and its combat effectiveness was still considerable.
Although the newly redeployed 4th Army of the Ming Empire near Vientiane did not make any new southward movements, and it seemed that it did not want to enter the plains, the pressure on the Ceylon side was undoubtedly huge.
When the army of the Ming Empire swept through the mountains and began to show its numerical superiority, Ceylon's disadvantage in size began to be exposed and began to affect the victory or defeat on the battlefield.
Ceylon has been passively avoiding the time of war, and it is being wiped out little by little by Wang Jue, who took the initiative to attack, and Miao Shengye is also desperate this time, hoping to force the Ming Empire to surrender through the navy.
However, when Sima Mingwei's 5th Army began to move closer to the Indian Ocean, and seeing that there was a tendency to join the defenders of the Ming Empire in the direction of Chittagong, Miao Shengye felt that things might become complicated.
The area of land acquired by the Ming Empire on the southeast peninsula was so large that it was impossible to negotiate it......
"This is the real purpose of that guy Wang Jue!" Thinking of this, Miao Shengye suddenly realized that he might have misestimated Wang Jue, or that His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire had planned at the beginning!
It seems that the Ming Empire did not intend to completely occupy the southeast peninsula of Ceylon from the beginning, it just wanted to occupy as much land as possible on the southeast peninsula before the arrival of the British Empire's fleet!
When the negotiations officially began, the Ming Empire would fight for every inch of land in these places, bargain, and finally reap the benefits and be forced to make Ceylon and the British Empire accept the fait accompli on the Korean Peninsula!
"Damn! It seems that I have to fight back and regain some land in order to stabilize the Southeast Peninsula......" After Miao Shengye realized Wang Jue and Zhu Mu's thoughts, he immediately decided to find a way to regain his advantage.
Anyway! Ceylon had to retake some areas so that the Ming Empire would accept British coercion and agree to sign the peace agreement!
And in this process, the Ming Empire must recognize Ceylon's statehood and no longer treat Ceylon with the eyes of a traitor!
When considering this, Miao Shengye was also very helpless, which was completely a compromise on the premise that Ceylon could not get benefits, and turned to reap the nominal benefits......
At least in Miao Shengye's own opinion, this war, the Ming Empire has already won, and Ceylon now seems to have lost very ugly.
"Luzon! This time, it seems that the only way to get back to the field is here! Miao Shengye was on the bumpy car, thinking about how to tear off a piece of meat from the behemoth of the Ming Empire.
And at the same moment, yesterday the Royal Navy Expeditionary Fleet of the British Empire, which passed through the Strait of Malacca, was under the command of the commander Commander Balek? Under the leadership of Admiral Lem, they gathered the mighty Ceylon navy and prepared to start a large-scale naval battle against the navy of the Ming Empire.
The navy of the Ming Empire also sensed its danger at this time, and began to concentrate in the direction of Luzon, where they wanted to defend the rubber and minerals, and protect the sea lines of communication from there to Taiwan and then inland.
War on the sea is on the verge of breaking out, and the battle on land has entered a white-hot stage -- a final battle prepared for negotiations has also begun on the southeastern peninsula.
