Chapter 923: Good news on the battlefield is frequent

When the Imperial Army of the Chinese Empire triumphed all the way in Russia, the Chinese Empire was also frequently reported in other battlefields between the Chinese Empire and the League of Nations. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The Chinese Empire attacked the 25th Field Army and the 40th Field Army of the Royal Army of the Ottoman Turkish Empire in Saudi Arabia, with 300,000 troops of the two field armies, with the strong cooperation of the Royal Air Force, defeated millions of European coalition forces, and conquered the entire Saudi Arabian region on October 15, 1914, eliminating nearly 700,000 army units of the European coalition army, and completing a classic battle of winning more with less, and the casualties of the two armies themselves were less than 25,000.

One brigade of the 25th Field Army also took advantage of the situation to capture the Red Sea coast of western Yemen of the Ottoman Turkish Empire and the southern part of Yemen under British rule, and one brigade of the 40th Field Army easily occupied Oman, Qatar and the UAE under British rule, and the British troops in the above three areas combined were less than 20,000 men.

The Second and Third Armies of the Royal Marines of the Chinese Empire, which attacked the Iraq region of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, also defeated nearly 800,000 European coalition forces with less than 250,000 troops and more than 40,000 casualties of their own, and captured the entire territory of Iraq on October 13, 1914, even two days earlier than the 25th Field Army and the 40th Field Army captured the entire Saudi Arabian region, and finally only less than 200,000 European coalition troops escaped from Iraq and withdrew to Syria, all other European coalition forces were annihilated.

After the European coalition lost about 1.3 million army troops in Saudi Arabia and Iraq, the number of European coalition troops in the entire Ottoman Turkish Empire suddenly dropped to less than 2 million, and this was due to the Ottoman Turkish Empire's massive expansion in Turkey, Jordan, Palestine and Syria, and even teenagers as young as 14 or 5 years old were forcibly recruited into the army.

However, in the face of the two field armies of the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire and the two marines of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire, the nearly 2 million European coalition troops did not dare to launch a counterattack, but in the Turkish region, the Syrian region and the Jordan region, they hurriedly built fortifications, hoping to use these fortifications to block the advance of the Chinese Imperial Army, and the recruitment work of the Ottoman Turkish Empire was even more crazy, and this time even the old man of fifty or sixty years old was forcibly recruited into the army units of the Ottoman Turkish Empire.

After capturing Saudi Arabia and Iraq in the Ottoman Empire, according to the orders of the Ministry of Defense of the Chinese Empire, the 26th Field Army under the 9th Field Army of the Royal Army entered the Saudi Arabian region, and the 4th Marine Corps of the Royal Navy entered the Iraqi region, sharpening its knives and preparing to kill other areas of the Ottoman Turkish Empire.

Previously, in the Kenya and Somali regions of the East African Overseas Provinces of the Chinese Empire, in addition to the Royal Army's East African garrison with more than 100,000 troops, only the 23rd Field Army and the 24th Field Army of the Royal Army's 8th Field Army, but Li Yuandong, commander of the 8th Field Army, with 300,000 army units from the two field armies, also launched an active attack on the African forces of the League of Nations in two ways.

By October 17, 1914, the 23rd Field Army of the 8th Field Army of the Royal Army had captured the entire Uganda region and the entire Congo region, and the 24th Field Army had captured the Tanzania region, Burundi region, Rwanda region and Zambia region, and nearly one million League of Nations African troops were annihilated by the two field armies under the 8th Field Army of the Royal Army.

In order to completely defeat the forces of the League of Nations in Africa, the Ministry of Defense of the Chinese Empire strengthened the 27th Field Army, the 28th Field Army, and the 29th Field Army of the 9th Field Army, which had been withdrawn from the Russian battlefield, to the African theater at once, and was ready to take advantage of the lack of strength of the African troops of the League of Nations to drive the entire European forces out of Africa, and Africa would be the Africa of the Chinese Empire.

According to the vision of the Emperor of the Chinese Empire, Lin Daxin, Africa will be transformed into several overseas provinces of the Chinese Empire, and will be one of the most important raw material sources of the Chinese Empire in the future.

After the 27th, 28th, and 29th Field Armies of the 9th Field Army arrived in Africa, the Chinese Empire quickly occupied Angola, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Mozambique and other southern African regions.

The 10th Field Army, which was withdrawn from the Russian battlefield, was directly sent by a large number of transport ships to the territory of the White Sea Province of the Chinese Empire, that is, Alaska, the original United States.

In this way, in the territory of Baihai Province, in addition to the 100,000 people of the Baihai garrison, the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire concentrated 1.2 million army units of the 7th Field Army and the 10th Field Army.

Zhang Zuolin, commander of the 7th Field Army, and Xie Jun, commander of the 10th Field Army, discussed and prepared to immediately launch an attack on the Canadian region, so on October 9, 1914, under the cover of a large number of Royal Air Force fighters, the two field armies crossed the border with the Canadian region and launched an attack on the American, British, and Canadian troops in the Canadian region.

The British and Canadian troops concentrated in the border area soon could not bear it, and in less than a day they were routed all the way to the hinterland of the Canadian region, and only the American army, in the case of losing air supremacy, resisted the three-day onslaught of the two field armies of the Royal Army of the Chinese Imperial Army in the border area of Canada and Baihai Province, and finally had to temporarily retreat because of the large casualties, and the 7th Field Army and the 10th Field Army of the Royal Army of the Chinese Imperial Army were able to continue to advance to the hinterland of Canada.

In the office of the President in Washington, USA, Secretary of the War John? Joseph? Pershing muttered to President William? Howard? Taft, Vice President Thomas? Woodrow? Wilson and U.S. Secretary of the Navy George? Dewey said: "At present, our U.S. Army is deployed in the border area between Canada and Alaska of the Chinese Empire, and the defensive line has been broken through by the troops of the Chinese Empire, and our U.S. Army has suffered heavy losses, with more than 900,000 casualties, including missing U.S. Army officers and soldiers. ”

John? Joseph? Pershing's reference to missing officers and soldiers of the U.S. Army basically refers to those captured by the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire, and they are all treated as missing here.

Vice President Thomas? Woodrow? Wilson frowned and asked, "What about the British and Canadian armies?" What's the situation? ”

John? Joseph? Pershing said angrily: "Not to mention the British colonial troops and the bastards of the Canadian army, if it weren't for them, the defense line in our border area would not have been so easily broken by the army of the Chinese Empire, it is precisely because the British colonial army and the Canadian army gave up the defensive position, so that the flank of our American army was exposed, although the officers and soldiers of our American army fought bloodily, but after holding on for 3 days, they still lost the defense line in the entire border area." ”

President William? Howard? Taft said at this time: "Britain is ready to give up the whole of Canada, originally in Canada, Canada's own army troops are only 100,000, but the British have sent more than 100,000 army troops, but these British army units are colonial troops composed of Indians, and the combat effectiveness can be said to be very weak, so that our US Army units have become the main defense force in Canada, and our US Army cannot count on the less than 300,000 army units of Britain and Canada. In the ensuing battle for the whole of North America, we in the United States can only rely on ourselves. ”

After a pause, President William? Howard? Taft vs. Secretary of the War John? Joseph? Pershing asked, "How many troops do we have in the U.S. Army inside Canada?" ”

John? Joseph? Pershing immediately said: "Thanks to the emergency conscription system promulgated by the United States of America, our U.S. Army has reached the size of 5.2 million, and the number is still increasing rapidly, but because of the border area between Canada and the Chinese Empire Alaska, our U.S. Army lost 900,000 troops at once, and now the entire U.S. Army has only 4.3 million left, including about 1.1 million Army units, which are currently in Canada." ”

Secretary of the Navy George? Dewey said at this time: "Our arrangement on the west coast is to prevent the troops of the Chinese Empire from landing on the west coast and attacking the mainland of our United States of America, but now that the troops of the Chinese Empire have directly invaded the Canadian region, we must guard against the troops of the Chinese Empire, passing through the entire Canadian region, and attacking the mainland of our United States of America." ”

John? Joseph? Pershing immediately said: "Our War Department has also taken into account the danger in this regard, so we have concentrated nearly 700,000 troops in the vicinity of Whitehorse City in Canada, preparing to block the pace of the Chinese Imperial Army's continued advance into the hinterland of Canada." ”

After a pause, John? Joseph? Pershing said: "However, it is difficult to hold back the Chinese Empire's army for a long time with the 700,000 U.S. Army troops in the area of Whitehorse City, so our War Department is preparing to set up another defense line in the area of Prairie City in Canada, and immediately transfer 2 million Army troops from China to build a defense line in the area of Prairie City." ”

President William? Howard? Taft sighed at this time and said: "Now the situation of the war has become more and more unfavorable to our League of Nations, especially after the army of the Chinese Empire invaded the European continent, millions of square kilometers of territory of Russia have been lost, and the pace of the army of the Chinese Empire advancing towards Europe has not stopped for a moment!" Now that the troops of the Chinese Empire have invaded Canada, the crisis is getting closer and closer for us in the United States of America, and the strength of the emergency conscription system must be further strengthened, and we in the United States of America need more troops to defend the soil of our freedom in the United States of America from being invaded by the evil Chinese Empire! ”

On October 20, 1914, in the Qianqing Palace of the Forbidden City in Beijing, the capital of the Chinese Empire, Wu Peifu, Minister of Defense of the Chinese Empire, said to Lin Daxin with a smile: "Your Majesty, at present, there are frequent good news from various battlefields, maybe it will not be long before our Chinese Empire will win this world war and become a well-deserved ruler of the whole world!" ”

Lin Daxin also smiled and nodded, he was also very satisfied with the current achievements in various battlefields, and then Lin Daxin asked: "Ziyu, how about the temporary field group army that I asked the Ministry of Defense to transfer the officers and soldiers of the garrison forces from various places and the reservists?" ”

At present, the main force of the Imperial Chinese Army has a total of 4 Guards and 10 Field Army, a total of 20 Guards and 40 Field Army, with a total strength of more than 9 million, and these 9 million refer to the troops that can be used for attack.

However, the Chinese Empire is now at war with 26 countries in the world, although it has annihilated nearly 20 million troops of the League of Nations, but the main force of 9 million, compared with the total strength of 26 countries at this time, is still much different, you must know that the British have deployed more than 6.5 million army troops in India alone, although only 500,000 are the regular army of the British Army, and the remaining 6 million are colonial troops composed of Indians, but the huge strength of 6.5 million is placed there after all, The Imperial Chinese Army had only a few garrisons on the Sino-Indian border, as well as the 2nd Guards Army and the 4th Guards Army, which had just arrived on the Sino-Indian border.

If it were to attack India, the Imperial Army of the Chinese Empire could only dispatch 1.5 million troops of the Second Guards Army and the Fourth Guards Army, which was several times worse than the British army in India.

Of course, with the powerful attack power of the Imperial Chinese Army and the strong air support of the Royal Air Force of the Imperial Chinese Empire, the two Guards armies are absolutely capable of defeating the 6.5 million British troops in India.

In order to be able to deploy the troops in various battlefields more generously, Lin Daxin decided to transfer personnel from the garrison armies and reserves in various places to form some field group armies again, but these field group armies are only provisional, and they will be disbanded after the end of the war, and the heavy weapons of the temporary field group armies are much worse than those with regular numbers.

Wu Peifu immediately said: "Your Majesty, according to your intentions, the Ministry of National Defense has set up five provisional field group armies this time, and among these five provisional field group armies, the senior officers above the brigade level are all temporarily transferred from the guards and field armies.
