391 crossed the river
The capital of Ceylon, named by the Emperor of the Apocalypse as the most prosperous city in Australia, Tokyo Tuozhou (that is, Canberra), Miao Shengye looked at the warm spring weather outside the window, and his face was gloomy. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info net
The news just came that Germany had secretly communicated with the British Empire that it would maintain a neutral conscience in the midst of this great war.
Although this is great news, and the British fleet is indeed mobilizing troops into the Indian Ocean to demonstrate, if the Ming Empire does not make a targeted response, then this demonstration is likely to turn into a real attack.
But Miao Shengye was not happy for a few minutes, and was affected by another news: the Ming Empire attacked the Southeast Peninsula, and the two sides had launched a fierce battle, and the battle on the first day could be described as decent, and everyone did not get any advantage.
The Ceylon side lost small defensive positions, and the Ming Empire lost some tanks. Both sides have to pay, and the final result is easy for everyone to accept.
But another thing made Miao Shengye angry, the Japanese army on the Korean Peninsula once again lost its own defense line, and now Anzhou has been surrounded by the army of the Ming Empire, and it is obvious that the Japanese army is not capable of relieving their besieged troops.
"The weather in the north must be very cold, right? Fighting in such cold weather doesn't seem to be an easy task. Miao Shengye said to himself to the glass window in front of him.
Although the Japanese side repeatedly assured that the Japanese troops in Anzhou would defend to the last soldier, Miao Shengye also believed that the fierce Japanese troops would be able to meet the requirements of their commanders.
However, even though the 20,000 Japanese troops held their positions in the areas of Anju and Sinanju, they were indeed surrounded.
Soon they will deplete their ammunition reserves, suffer heavy casualties and will not be able to support their own defenses, and will eventually be wiped out in urban street fighting......
Miao Shengye himself can simply make up the picture of the Japanese army on the Korean Peninsula, he already understands the offensive ability of the Ming Empire, and of course he also knows that such an attack is not something that the Japanese can resist.
Once Anzhou fell, Shunchuan's core defense was exposed to the Ming army's offensive front, and how long it could hold there made Miao Shengye very uneasy.
It was Pyongyang's last line of defense, and if the Ming Empire's troops were allowed to occupy Sunchon, they would soon capture Pyongyang, and the Japanese would have been driven almost out of northern Korea.
Without the geographical advantage of the mountainous regions of northern Korea, the armored forces of the Ming Empire would gallop across the southern part of the Korean Peninsula and quickly drive the Japanese into the sea.
No one knows how long this process will take, Miao Shengye himself estimates that if he is the commander of the Ming Dynasty, it will probably take about a month if he has such an advantage.
And for a month, the battle near the southeast peninsula was undecided, and Ceylon and the British Empire had no way to draw their own navy north......
"No matter how you calculate it, the Korean Peninsula will lose ...... this time," Miao Shengye sighed unwillingly.
The loss of the Korean Peninsula is tantamount to indirectly sentencing Japan to death. After obtaining this outpost to attack Japan, the Ming Empire will have to attack Japan sooner or later unless the navy is lost.
"Report!" An officer walked into Miao Shengye's office, and after coming in, he stood up and saluted: "Speaker, the news just came that the Korean war situation is more passive. ”
"What?" Miao Shengye frowned, with a hint of anger in his tone. Could it be that Japan can't hold up the wall with such mud? Could it be that they really can't serve dog meat?
"The Japanese army fought a decisive battle with the Ming army on the periphery of Wonsan, two divisions were routed, the 2nd Army of the Ming army had approached Wonsan, and the eastern defense line of Japan had a tendency to collapse." The officer gave a clear explanation.
Obviously, Miao Shengye's concern about the defense of Anzhou is actually the main direction that the Japanese defender commander Mitsui Takanomiya is concerned about.
However, the Ming army on the Korean Peninsula was a two-pronged attack, and in the other direction of the Ming army's attack, the Japanese army lacked defensive forces and equipment, and the scene was even more ugly.
Miao Shengye removed his gaze from the officer, his eyes fixed on the chess game he placed on his desk, and the expression on his face was as if he was about to eat people.
Since many years ago, Miao Shengye has been an extremely proud person, he has almost never encountered an opponent in commanding operations, and he has resisted Ge Tianzhang's pressure head-on, nor has he been crushed.
So he hates that this kind of thing is not in his control, he hates that Japan is fighting so ugly on the Korean Peninsula, and he also hates Wang Jue in the south and Zhu Mu in Beijing, which is even more difficult than Ge Tianzhang.
Looking at the chessboard, the pawn who had already crossed the river boundary, Miao Shengye didn't speak for a long time, he was weighing whether he wanted to intervene in the war on the distant Korean Peninsula, or whether he had the ability to take care of everything that was born on the Korean Peninsula.
This is a depressing thing, whether it is a take-off or a give-and-take, this is a frustrating decision, in Miao Shengye's opinion, no matter what choice he makes, he has already lost.
"Send someone to contact those shadows we have planted in India, and try to see if we can shake India, a vassal state of the Ming Empire, first." Miao Shengye intends to make an exchange, an exchange that breaks his current passive situation.
If India can be allowed to become another force to contain the Ming Empire, then the loss on the Korean Peninsula is not unacceptable.
In exchange, it seems that it is more advantageous for Ceylon to be closer and more advantageous.
As he spoke, he grabbed the horse on the chessboard and directly ate his crosser: "You have eaten my Korean Peninsula." ”
Then he moved his side car again and ate one of the other party's soldiers who did not cross the river: "Now it's your turn, let's see what to do......"
……
In the capital of the Ming Empire, Sun Fang waved two diplomats away, and they would take a plane to the subject country of India as quickly as possible.
Ceylon hoped that India could be used as a new force involving the Ming Empire, and the Ming Empire, of course, also saw India's problems and made its own emergency response.
Zhu Mu hoped that India could be appeased, at least when the British fleet occupied the Indian Ocean, India could refuse to provide Britain with ports and supplies.
This could involve some of the energy of the British Empire, so that they would not dare to enter the waters near the Southeast Peninsula with all their might, considering the threat from India.
The rest depends on what kind of choice India has to make under the pressure of the British fleet, which is an interesting place. (To be continued.) )
