The former Qing Dynasty had the Empress Dowager Cixi, who declared war on the eleven Western powers in one breath in anger, but the final result was regrettable, not only failed to send troops out of the country, but was turned around by others. To this day, even after so many years, this incident is still a joke among people around the world.

And now, Wang Lin seems to have followed the practice of the Empress Dowager Cixi back then, but this time Wang Lin looks smarter than the Empress Dowager Xi, but there are only a lot more countries that have declared war, only twelve. And these twelve countries, not all of them are great powers, there are also junior countries in Asia. Or it can be said that the reason why Wang Lin is smarter than the Empress Dowager Cixi is because Wang Lin will choose opponents, and not all of what Wang Lin chooses are great powers.

And half of these ten countries are weak. Four countries were at war, and Britain, France, and Russia, needless to say, were now being dizzy by the Germans, and the Russians were under tremendous pressure from the revolution at home. As for the United States, it is still playing with Mexicans in North America. As for the rest, they either don't have the ability to send troops to fight, or they don't want to.

But what's the point? As long as Wang Lin wants it, absolutely no one will be able to escape. Not to mention twelve countries, if he really angered Wang Lin, he would dare to go to war in twenty or thirty countries. As the saying goes, if you have goods in your hand, you don't panic in your heart, and Wang Lin at this time is such a mentality. Declaring war with the Twelve Kingdoms in one breath, he didn't pant or blush, and he looked like an old hooligan.

After the declaration of war on the two fronts in the north and south, the Wehrmacht troops immediately announced the formation of the Northern Expeditionary Corps and the Southeast Asian Corps, which would be responsible for military attacks against Russia and Southeast Asian countries. But that's all there is to the public announcement. Wang Lin can't be stupid to announce the specific number of the legion, the number of the troops, and who the commander-in-chief is. It's actually good to leave a little mystery when necessary.

Now that the war has begun, there is no room for negotiation, and the next negotiation will be on the final negotiation field, and it will also be the time when the negotiation will finally belong. Nowadays, none of the countries that have been declared war by the Chinese Empire have a 'good end'. North Korea, for example, is not a real declaration of war, but a soft method that keeps it firmly in the palm of its hand. The most typical is the book.

Can you imagine what kind of fate will the next few countries usher in? Turkey, the United States, and other European and American countries, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so naturally they will not worry about China coming with them, but Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar, India and other countries that are close at hand have to think carefully about their future.

Some of these countries fantasize that China can help them drive out the colonizers and lead them to a happy life, just like the Korean Dynasty, which will eventually become an appendage of China, but in reality, these countries enjoy a different kind of treatment. That is, there is no invasion from other countries, and it is not known how far China will be able to go in the end.

After all, it is not long since the country and North Korea became a Chinese state, and some specific things are still unclear. But judging from the current situation, unlimited exploitation and oppression has not yet occurred, but in some respects, the Chinese control is relatively strict. It's just a matter of what they're okay with.

The least lacking thing in any country is internal annihilation. Whether it is strong or weak, internal annihilation is always indispensable. Although this type of people are not good birds, for the invaders, these so-called internal annihilations will bring them great help. Of course, in this case, everyone must be able to understand how much Han Jian in later generations did for Yue himself and how much trouble they have reduced, which is obvious to all.

Before the Southeast Asian legion crossed the border, one after another countries came to the door. It doesn't matter if you can't find the headquarters of the Southeast Asian Army, as long as you can find the army, tell them your intentions, and someone will go and report it. Of course, the people who came to report were all big names, and a small civilian was not enough to make the headquarters stop and watch.

The most unbelievable scene turned out to be a group-type internal annihilation, for example, in Vietnam, someone actually directly approached the Wehrmacht troops, saying that they had a team of 2,000 people, which could help the Southeast Asian Army quickly occupy the entire territory of Vietnam, with translators, guides, and so on. In the end, Chen Mingjie still chose to believe them, of course, Chen Mingjie's choice was not unfounded. It didn't take long for the so-called collective to send 2,000 people to assemble at the designated place.

The 2,000 men were eventually assigned to an army responsible for attacking Vietnam under the guidance of Chen Mingjie. Having these Vietnamese as guides and interpreters does save a lot of trouble, at least they don't have to worry about getting lost. In the jungle, getting lost is a common occurrence, and even the field troops, with the help of scouts, are no match for the locals who are familiar with the local conditions.

They were born and bred there, and they knew much more about nature than these newcomers. Of course, there is no such thing as a free lunch, and they did not ask for nothing when they chose to help the Wehrmacht. But fortunately, Chen Mingjie doesn't care about their requirements, during the war, the integrity of the hostile country is a fart, as long as you are willing, you don't have to worry about anything, just fight directly.

Who cares about his integrity? Moreover, those problems will naturally be taken care of by the superiors, who are just a simple army, and they are only responsible for fighting wars. What should be admitted, and it is not under their control anyway, who is afraid of whom? Dare to argue with the army, unless the old birthday star hangs himself and lives impatiently.

And those Vietnamese, after getting the consent of Chen Mingjie, were also in a mess, laughing and excitedly going to various units to report under the guidance of the Wehrmacht soldiers. Feel the new atmosphere of the Wehrmacht troops, the feeling of a strong army. Of course, if he dares to do these things, Chen Mingjie is really not afraid that they will reveal the secrets of the National Defense Army. In the army, the whereabouts of these Vietnamese are monitored throughout the whole process, eating, sleeping, and going to the toilet, and they are not separated from people 24 hours a day.

Fortunately, the Vietnamese seem to have received instructions from their superiors, and they do not have too much disgust with this kind of surveillance of the squadron, and even some core members subconsciously cooperate with the work of the Wehrmacht, as much as possible not to let their shadow out of the sight of the Wehrmacht. Saving them from wearing a hat for leaking military planes, in this way, when they return to China, their lives will be even more uncomfortable. It's one thing to even be able to go back.

No matter who he is, no matter how fearless he appears on the surface, in fact, deep down, he will always be very afraid of death. Death will be a lingering shadow for everyone. It is said that fifty knows the destiny of heaven, and at the moment these Vietnamese boys are not fifty years old, let alone what destiny is not destiny. Who will idle their lives too long and have nothing to do to play with fire [***]? If it were someone else, it would be fine, but this is still Chinese.

If these Vietnamese boys are against the Chinese, they will not dare to do so, after all, this North Korea is a lesson from the past, and there is no good end for those who betray them.

The time was pushed to the beginning of May, when the weather was getting hotter, and it stands to reason that the Southeast Asian Army should have fought a long time ago, but in view of the environmental problems over there, Chen Mingjie forcibly postponed the attack. Southeast Asia is home to a huge number of tropical jungles, and there are a lot of miasma and other things in them, and if you are not careful, you may be wiped out.

Chen Mingjie couldn't let the soldiers take such a big risk, and hurriedly entered Vietnam and other places without being prepared at all. It will only increase the casualties of the troops, not to mention Chen Mingjie's side, even Wang Lin is unwilling to let the soldiers enter the jungle of death one after another without being fully prepared. And now, the situation of Savage Mountain in later generations has always stayed in Wang Lin's mind.

In the primeval forest, in some places with miasma, inexperienced soldiers did not know what it was, and there was no guidance from the locals, and even blind and arrogant did not listen to dissuasion, so they went straight into the seemingly cloud of mist, and finally lay on the ground foaming at the mouth within a few seconds. Wang Lin didn't want this kind of thing to happen in the National Defense Army, and in Wang Lin's eyes, the current National Defense Army could not afford to be injured, let alone lose.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Wang Lin ordered some designated factories in China to work overtime to manufacture gas masks, although I don't know if they can prevent the miasma there, but some preparations are always right. In addition, Wang Lin also asked the medical department to prepare some medicines to prevent dengue fever, although I don't know if it can be effective, Wang Lin can't just let the soldiers go in empty-handed, right?

However, it is obviously still a little difficult to achieve a gas mask for each person in the entire army, and the entire Southeast Asian Legion has more than 500,000 soldiers, each of whom has a gas mask, which is quite a huge project. After so many days of overtime, the factory only made about 100,000 gas masks, plus the 100,000 gas masks that were in stock before, they were sent to the front line together.

What's more, not all of the Southeast Asian Legions have to go to Vietnam and other places, and some soldiers plan to go to the Philippines and Malaysia. They left relatively late, basically waiting until the war on the Vietnamese side was over, so for now, 200,000 gas masks were enough for the Southeast Asian legions.

After getting this batch of gas masks and some medicines, Chen Mingjie finally put his mind at ease, but the problems that followed came again. Since it is called the Southeast Asian Army, it is to sweep the entire Southeast Asia, just the entire Vietnam, to be honest, Chen Mingjie is really worried, can an army of more than 50,000 soldiers be spread out?

You must know that the length of Vietnam is reasonable, but this width is too narrow, and a force of 50,000 people can directly sweep through Vietnam next to each other. And on the Vietnamese side, there seems to be no force to stop it. So according to Wang Lin's instructions, Chen Mingjie gradually began to think about other things.

Moreover, China declared war with Laos, Thailand and other countries at the same time, and the war in these theaters was also unified by Chen Mingjie, so Chen Mingjie began to wonder whether to merge these theaters into one? These areas are not large in size, the colonists do not have a large number of garrisons, and the national defences have not yet taken them into account by the national defence. It is better to merge these countries into one place, and send four armies and 200,000 troops to march together, and the troops that cannot be used up here can also be directly supported to another place.

And in other places, it is the same as vice versa, just like a drill in the country, in the same theater of war, anyway, it is all in the enemy country, and there is no national language, there is only one order, and whoever resists is the enemy. Since you are an enemy, then I'm sorry, your life is to be taken away by us.

After deciding on this plan, Chen Mingjie hurriedly reported the plan to Wang Lin and asked for Wang Lin's instructions, after all, this is not a trivial matter, if he does it in a hurry, will it leave a bad impression in Wang Lin's heart, Chen Mingjie is also uncertain, after all, he is not Long Yuhui, and he is not so favored by Long Yuhui. But even Long Yuhui, when he encountered some big problems, he had to report to Wang Lin and wait for instructions.

Even Long Yuhui, the celebrity in front of the emperor, is still like this, not to mention Chen Mingjie, a second-class celebrity. When encountering this kind of thing, it is natural to report it to Wang Lin. Unexpectedly, Wang Lin only replied lightly, everything is decided by Chen Mingjie. Chen Mingjie didn't expect that Wang Lin would trust him so much. It's just that what Chen Mingjie doesn't know is that Wang Lin doesn't want to interfere with the thinking of the generals below, after all, in terms of military affairs, Wang Lin is not an insider, and it is no problem to comment a little bit afterwards, or before it starts, it is not a problem to intervene in the overall situation.

But if it really has to begin, Wang Lin would rather choose to quit and let the generals who are more professional than him deal with these problems. There are many wars in history, which have been forcibly stirred up by those literati who do not understand military affairs. The most famous is the Song Dynasty. The military strength of the Song Dynasty was actually not so weak, and the technology of the Song Dynasty was extremely advanced. Helplessly, those incompetent literati interfered, and finally there was a day of destruction.

Since ancient times, the world has not controlled martial arts, Wang Lin does not want to say that one day, his country will become like that, there is a developed technology and army, but in the end it was destroyed by a group of literati who don't know anything. And Wang Lin no longer intervenes in the war, and undoubtedly tells the people below. Lao Tzu, as the emperor Yanjing, will not meddle in the affairs of the army when he is at war, and the people below who are not long-sighted, don't blame me Wang Lin is not polite.

When Chen Mingjie learned the news, he finally made up his mind, since the emperor trusted him so much, he always had to make some achievements to repay the emperor. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a failure of the emperor's grace? At the moment, Chen Mingjie waved his hand and merged all the countries into one war zone, of course, what Chen Mingjie didn't know was that in the near future, it was precisely because of his feat that he completely changed the fate of these countries.

And Chen Mingjie's seemingly casual move will eventually become the final destination of these countries. Until hundreds of years later, they still wore this hat, and did not dare to have any backlash, for fear of angering the Chinese masters if they were not careful.

At the beginning of May, the vanguard of an army finally crossed the Sino-Vietnamese border, and the 200,000-strong army officially opened the prelude to its own expedition and the second stage of China's foreign war.

The war seems to be going relatively smoothly, and Chen Mingjie's performance in the Southeast Asian battlefield is also more comfortable, although there have been some small mistakes, but those are harmless things, and they have been corrected in time, without causing major casualties. But the ultimate highlight of the war was Chen Mingjie's merger of these countries into a single theater of operations.

If it weren't for Chen Mingjie's move, the war would never have gone so smoothly in the future. The French troops stationed in Vietnam seem to have been rendered by the atmosphere in the country, and there is no fighting at all. When they encountered the Wehrmacht, their first consciousness was not to resist with all their might, but to think of surrendering directly. Anyway, in the eyes of the French, surrender is not a shameful thing. And the facts have also proved that the only French in the world can see surrender as a victory.

Since the arrival of the Southeast Asian legion was not like a war at all, but more like a parade, the final battle ended in a blur, and even those soldiers who participated in the war did not feel that they were in the center of the battlefield, and the whole war was over.

It can be said that the whole war was still in a relatively easy state, and the French had no intention of fighting, just blindly thinking about surrender or something. Those Vietnamese who relied on the French, seeing that their masters began to pretend to be grandsons, naturally they would not force themselves against the Chinese. After all, they took refuge in the French in the first place so that they could live a better life. Now that the French are gone and the Chinese are coming, for them, it is just a change of master, and it doesn't matter to anyone, as long as they can have food.

In mid-to-late May, all fighting ended in the whole of Vietnam. Due to the late start of the fighting on the Lao side, the fighting in Laos ended around May 20. However, the Thai side was a little difficult to deal with, and the more than 100,000 soldiers of the two armies did not completely end the war in Thailand until mid-June. It's just that Chen Mingjie obviously feels that he doesn't like this kind of progress, and it is indeed too slow.

However, this speed, in the eyes of other countries, in addition to surprise, there is only surprise left, such a fast speed, one and a half months to destroy three countries, compared to Genghis Khan back then, there is also more than that!
