The reason for the attack on Moscow is because Moscow is the transportation hub for the whole of Russia. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Murmansk in the north, St. Petersburg. Kiev in the south, Tsaritsyn. Nizhny Novgorod in the East, Kazan. The western cities of Smolinsk, Minsk, Warsaw and the roads connecting the Western allies eventually converged and transited in Moscow. As long as Moscow can be occupied, it is equivalent to grasping the initiative in the entire Russian battlefield.

According to the agreement reached between Zhang Cheng and He Ziqiu temporarily, the entire north will be included in He Ziqiu's sphere of influence. He will be knighted after the end of the Russian War, and he will be crowned king in the land. Of course, nominally, it is still necessary to serve Daming as the master. This is also the main reason why He Ziqiu finally agreed to stand on Zhang Cheng's side.

For He Ziqiu, he had already got everything he wanted earlier. That marshal's scepter is not uncommon to him, he can be said to have no desires and no desires. However, Zhang Cheng's situation at that time made him see an opportunity, a coveted opportunity.

Just like Zhang Cheng said, no one wants to be someone else's subordinate forever. He Ziqiu has done it to the extreme, but he also wants to go it alone. is usually delusional, but Zhang Cheng gave him a chance. Just stand by and wait for the results to come out. How could He Ziqiu let go of this kind of thing?

The provisional agreement between Zhang Cheng and He Ziqiu. In Zhang Cheng's view, it is temporary. As for why, the reason is simple: no one, let alone a national leader, is willing to make such a ground-splitting compromise. In Zhang Cheng's view, He Ziqiu is treason. It's just that for the time being, for various reasons, I can't get rid of him, so I can only think of it as a snake. When the time and strength are sufficient, the eradication of traitors is inevitable.

Not only He Ziqiu, but also the other military leaders who signed an agreement with Zhang Cheng during the turbulent period of the imperial capital, Zhang Cheng did not intend to let go.

At that time, Zhang Cheng had no choice but to cause large-scale civil strife at this moment when he was fighting with the whole world, so he could only pinch his nose and admit it.

Of course, this is only temporary. When the situation improves and the strength in his hands is strong, Zhang Cheng will naturally turn his face and deny people. This kind of thing is something that anyone would do, and the ass decides the head.

He Ziqiu is now fighting for his own territory, so he is naturally doing his best. Although Zhang Cheng wants to deal with him, he will never do anything that will damage the war situation when he is in the national war. There was an endless stream of reinforcements and all kinds of supplies from the rear to the front.

On the battlefields of North Africa, as a steady stream of U.S. troops began to arrive in Tunisia. Zhang Cheng's plan for the counterattack against the French army must be revised and postponed. The besieged side of Gibraltar had to be resupplied by night air and submarine transport.

Fortunately, Gibraltar was originally built as a separate fortified fortress. At the turn of the century, there was also a large-scale modernization. In addition to the construction of a large number of solid permanent fortifications, an even larger underground structure was built under the ground. All kinds of supplies were enough to last the garrison for several years.

Most importantly, the main force responsible for attacking the fortress of Gibraltar was the Spanish army.

Ever since the defeat of the Ming in the First Global War, the defeated Spanish Empire has been in rapid decline.

Hundreds of years have passed, and many of the places that were once desolate and despised in Europe have begun to emerge as modern industrial nations. However, Spain, the original European empire, has been getting weaker and weaker. At this point, the strength of the entire country and the help of a large number of allies could not capture a small fortress.

If it were not for the fact that Gibraltar had always been an inherent territory of Spain and, after all, it was still an alliance. The French, who had long been covetous, would have left the Spaniards on their own.

Since Gibraltar can continue to hold on, Zhang Cheng has temporarily put aside his plan to quickly raid North Africa. Even if it is as strong as Da Ming, when facing so many enemies, it can only choose one focus to strike. After the Japanese navy was heavily damaged, everyone decided that now was the best time to defeat the Japanese. Who made him closest.

Since the other battlefields were relatively quiet at this time, the Ming Dynasty quickly focused on the Japanese.

In mid-May, all the Japanese troops who had forcibly landed on Jeju Island were annihilated.

Because the main naval force suffered heavy losses, there was no point in continuing the battle of Jeju Island. The Japanese Ministry of the Navy soon issued an order to end the campaign.

The originally tragic air battle soon ended with the return of the main force of the Japanese naval aviation to the island of Kyushu. Without the cover of air power, the Japanese navy, which was carrying out artillery bombardment and escort, also quickly withdrew. Without air cover, you are waiting to be blown up and sunk.

Fortunately, the Japanese Navy still had some conscience, and when it retreated, it took all the Japanese troops near the coast with them. However, those troops who ran too quickly before, and there was no way to fight deep inland.

At that time, it was a night retreat, and the HNA had clearly informed that there would be no more air cover the next day, and the Japanese Navy's artillery fleet could only withdraw overnight and return to the mainland. Before the fleet left, the troops from the inland who did not have time to retreat to the shore could only wish the king a long time.

The remnants of the Japanese army on Jeju Island hid in various corners and persisted in the battle, and it was not until mid-May that they were completely wiped out. Apart from a few seriously wounded who were unable to move, there were no other prisoners of war. With Jeju Island completely sorted out, the Ming Dynasty's strategic bombing of the Japanese mainland returned to its peak again. Almost every day, hundreds of large bombers withstood various anti-aircraft firepower, and countless bombs were still on the heads of the Japanese. Japan's war potential was rapidly declining.

Almost as soon as the Battle of the Ryukyus was over, Zhang Cheng couldn't wait to order the Ming Navy to start a large-scale counterattack.

From the South Seas, from the Australian mainland, from the mainland. A large number of warships, warplanes, and soldiers poured out from everywhere like a tide. The sheer number and so strong combat effectiveness made the Japanese defenders stationed everywhere stupid. The Japanese didn't expect the Ming counterattack to come so quickly and so sharply!

In fact, the Ming Dynasty has been continuously expanding its military strength since the start of the war, but it has not been used. Countries only saw the actions of the Ming Dynasty in Russia, North Africa, the Western Pacific and other places, and thought that the Ming had dispatched most of the strength in their hands. However, it was the Ming Empire, the world hegemon.

With such a large territory, endless human resources, and the strongest industrial capacity in the world, who can really understand his potential?

When Zhang Yue was in power before, he had been silently expanding his strength. The power that the countries saw was nothing more than the army that the Ming Dynasty itself had before the war. The Americans were able to pull up tens of millions of troops during the war, let alone the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, the industrial production capacity of the Ming Dynasty had reached the level of being able to build an aircraft every ten minutes on average, a tank to leave the factory every twenty minutes, and launch at least one light warship a day and a cruiser-class warship a week. Over time, this production will continue to climb.

This great industrial prowess was paired with a large number of educated and excellent soldiers, who were trained before being pushed into battle. Who can fight such an army?

Thousands of warplanes roamed through the sky, and dense ships carried countless soldiers, tanks, artillery, and various equipment to pounce on the Japanese troops everywhere. The Nanyang Islands, Luzon, New Guinea and other places were all strongly counterattacked by the Ming Dynasty.

For island nations, the navy is life. Without the protection of the navy and the loss of sea supremacy, the Japanese defenders, who were isolated on various islands in the vast sea, lost hope of holding on. No matter how tenacious they are, no matter how noble their spirit. After losing the supremacy of the sea, they were left with only a dead end.

The Japanese were aggressors, and they did not take the islands from the Ming for long. There could be no local forces that could serve them, and the people of the Ming Dynasty would certainly not take refuge in their former servants. And the time was short, and the Japanese did not have much time to build strong fortifications. When the Ming began to counterattack, the Japanese could only defend desperately.

Of course, this is not the case everywhere. Some of the areas occupied by the Japanese in the South Seas still received some support in places such as Luzon. Of course, it will not be the support of the people of the Ming Dynasty, but the support of the local natives who have remained under the long-term control of the Ming Dynasty.

No colonizer would have a good face for the local natives in the colony, and Daming was no exception. A brutal colonial life can turn the most elegant scholar into a bloodthirsty executioner. In the colony, the original worldview will be completely abandoned in order to survive well. The colony is a paradise for adventurers.

The people of the Ming Dynasty may be personable when they are in the homeland, but when they go to the colonies, they are the best people. Those who watched the Ming people live a rich life. Not to mention laziness, the local natives who are still inferior people will naturally be dissatisfied.

These natives will not think that it was the Ming Dynasty that brought them the fire of civilization, nor would they think that without the Ming Dynasty, they are still living a primitive life of slash-and-burn farming. They will only think that everything that the Ming people enjoy now has been taken from their hands.

Usually, there is no problem, and the strength of the Ming Dynasty makes these natives dare not even raise their heads, let alone have other ideas.

But that all changed when the Japanese came. The Japanese vigorously supported the local natives to fight against the Ming Dynasty and brutalized the people living in various parts of the Ming Dynasty. Collect all kinds of materials to support the war against the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, the Japanese were just nouveau riche, and the natives who were like the local settlers immediately colluded with each other. They brutalized the people of the Ming Dynasty and plundered their wealth. In just a few months, the scourge everywhere has been destroyed.

When the Ming Dynasty began a counteroffensive and successfully regained the land it had lost before. Many of the soldiers were frightened by the devastation of the local scourge.

Ruined towns, burned houses and manors, corpses hanged from trees and dried in the air, captured for camping, glazed women with no clothes or even clothes, and mass graves filled with corpses!

In just a few months, the Japanese and the local natives committed heinous crimes!

Astound! Grieved! Fury!

When the Ming soldiers recovered from their grief, then it should be the most cruel revenge! (To be continued.) )
