Chapter 495: Empire

Abrams, who suffered a crushing defeat, retreated more than a hundred kilometers before leading the remnants to stop and then organize a defense on the spot, waiting for the next order from the Pentagon, of course, mainly waiting for additional tanks, his personnel losses were not too much, and the total number of dead and wounded and captured was less than three thousand, that is, heavy losses in equipment.

In addition to nearly three-quarters of the tanks destroyed, two artillery battalions were disabled, it can be said that they have completely lost the ability to attack, even the defense is very reluctant, and now it is in urgent need of new replenishment, but it is not easy for Eisenhower to make up for his losses, although in fact there are countless supplies in Europe at hand, but they must travel thousands of miles around the Cape of Good Hope to reach Najd, in short, don't count on it in the short term.

However, fortunately, a group of Najd troops arrived to reinforce them immediately, and the two armies worked together to reluctantly establish a defensive line.

At this time, the Hejaz army had reached the periphery of Buraidah, less than 50 kilometers away from the city, 2,000 American troops and 30,000 Najd troops were ready to defend to the death, but the Jordanian army on the northern front had conquered Hail and also approached Buraidah to the south.

The Yemeni army on the southern front continues to besiege Abha, and a serious humanitarian crisis has begun to appear in the city, in other words, there is no food, and the Yemeni army continues to block the airdrops of the US military into the encirclement, apparently preparing to use starvation tactics to force the Najd army stationed in the city to surrender, and even the National Red Cross's request for rescue has been rejected by them, and according to tabloid information. A large number of Egyptian soldiers have appeared in the Yemeni army. This also means that another force has also joined the ranks of carving up Najd.

Poor Najd not only did not turn the corner because of the arrival of American troops. On the contrary, the situation will worsen, once the coalition forces take Buraidah again, then the Najd royal family will only have a decisive battle against Riyadh.

When the news of the victory in the Battle of Taif reached Yingtian, Yang was entertaining guests, and after this guy glanced at the report, he casually threw it aside, and said a little cowardly: "These guys are naughty again, they actually use a big poisonous snake to explode people's juhua!" โ€

"Your Excellency. Is there something that has changed on the battlefield? โ€

Rashid, the sheikh of Dubai next to him, asked with concern in stiff Chinese, and the group of king's chiefs sitting around the large round table immediately asked the same, these guys are here to attend the annual plenary meeting of the Ming Imperial Parliament, including the chiefs of Goryeo, Annam, Ryukyu, Trusil Aman, and even the two sultans of the former Borneo, who are hereditary members of the imperial parliament for life, although they certainly do not come to the meeting in normal times. But participation in such annual plenary meetings is mandatory.

To put it bluntly, this plenum is to get together and listen to the imperial government's summary report last year to see how much the GDP of the Ming Empire has risen. What territory did the Ming Empire grab, what major events did it do, what major engineering projects did it complete, and what achievements did it make in science and technology......

In short, it is to let all the subject countries really feel the strength of the empire, and look forward to a more glorious future, in short, that's what happened, after the meeting, I have to go to the Taimiao together, and pay tribute to the Ming Emperor with Yang Yuan, who holds the tablet of Emperor Chongzhen.

However, this year's plenum, because of the war with the United States in the country, it is particularly special, after all, it is the world's largest power, although the Ming Dynasty is also quite strong, but with such a country head-on, these subject monarchs are a little uneasy after all. Speaking of which, they like this empire quite much now, although it is a subject country of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial government has never interfered in their internal affairs, but only provides them with the right to protect, and whether it is Goryeo or Trusil Oman, under the shade of the big tree of the Ming Dynasty, those days are very comfortable. Even the Kingdom of Annam, which only has Phu Quoc Island, has been driven by a large number of Chinese businessmen's investment, and its life has been thriving over the years, compared with the bloody and war-torn puppet regime of Ngo Dinh Diem, it is simply like heaven.

They really don't want something to happen to the empire.

"It's nothing, the boys have defeated the enemy again, and the 4th Mechanized Infantry Division of the US Army has been defeated, if it weren't for the sandstorm, it is estimated that it will be completely annihilated!"

Yang Feng, like Xie An, pretended to be forced very casually.

A group of subject monarchs were immediately amazed, that was one of the most elite heavy infantry divisions in the U.S. military! The total strength is close to 20,000 people, and there are more than 200 tanks alone, which were actually defeated by two mechanized infantry brigades of the Ming army, and they were almost completely annihilated, which is too exaggerated, right? When it comes to missile boats attacking aircraft carriers, these people are limited to the level of science and technology and do not have a deep feeling, but they can defeat a heavy division of the US military, and they know this feeling very well.

"It's not worth mentioning, it's just a trifle!"

In the sound of singing praises and virtues, Yang Fuhrer continued to wave his hand indifferently and said, after speaking, he waved to the maid behind him, called him and said a few words, the latter then turned to leave, and Yang Feng said to those monarchs: "Your Highnesses, next I want to introduce you to a new friend, and another monarch has decided to officially return to the embrace of the Ming Empire!" โ€

As he spoke, he stood up and clapped as he said, "Let us welcome this lost wanderer with applause." โ€

The group of monarchs hurriedly got up, except for Li Jiu, who had known for a long time, everyone else looked at the door of the banquet hall with somewhat blank eyes, and soon accompanied by several attendants dressed in ancient clothes and armed with katanas, a short man of fifty or sixty years old wearing a yellow round-necked robe and an exaggerated high bun on his head walked in slowly from the outside with a solemn face, holding a white jade in his hand, looking as if he had traveled through history, from the era of magnificent, uh, weapon fighting!

"Your Royal Highness, welcome back to the embrace of the Empire."

Yang Feng bowed respectfully and said.

"Your Excellency, I apologize to you and all the people of the Ming Empire for the retrograde behavior of the Wa Kingdom, thank you and the people of the Empire for your tolerance and generosity, and thank you and the people of the Empire for being able to re-admit us regardless of the past suspicions, so that the glory of the Ming Empire can shine on the land of the Wa Kingdom again."

His Royal Highness Kumasawa Kumendo, the Emperor of Wakokuminami, who had just been officially canonized by the Ming Empire, also bowed to His Excellency the Fรผhrer and said in an affectionate voice, and all the monarchs who witnessed this scene immediately celebrated this great moment with warm applause.
