Chapter 551: Great Power Game (1)

The king of the Cerro Kingdom, Carlos I, had a deep affection for the Chinese Empire, and except for the last time when the trading company of the Chinese Consortium withdrew from the Cerro Kingdom due to bloodshed, the cooperation between the two sides has been quite pleasant. Even the last evacuation incident, it was the Chinese consortium that took the initiative to evacuate, and Carlos I even graciously retained, it can be said that the relationship between the two sides has been good, so if the Chinese Empire wants to intervene, Carlos I will definitely welcome it very much, so that the countries have nothing to say.

For the possible intervention of the Chinese Empire, the Boston Empire was a hundred unwilling. For many years, both countries have been working towards the goal of becoming the world's only superpower, and the intrigue between the two sides has never stopped, from the front to the back, and it is certain that the Chinese Empire, once intervened, will not help the Axis powers.

In fact, the Allies also had mixed feelings about the intervention of the Chinese Empire. If the Chinese Empire helped the Allies against the Axis bloc, it would inevitably make it much easier for the Allies on the weaker side. But racism has taken root in the hearts of the people of the Western Continent after all, and all white countries are quite jealous of an unimaginably powerful country of color.

If the power of the Chinese Empire does not enter the Western Continent, and this oldest white settlement is not invaded by the power of colored people, the people of the Western Continent can still dream of continental hegemony behind closed doors and comfort themselves with the idea of a wild field outside the Western Continent.

Once the power of the Chinese Empire enters the Western Continent, it will be a major blow to the white people who regard the Western Continent as their own land, and the people of all countries may have a sense of crisis because of this, which is quite harmful to the stability of the rule of various countries, so the hearts of the governments of the Allied bloc are quite complicated now.

The cabinet led by Fang Ruijun and Lin Feng had already understood this idea of the countries of the Western Continent, so after the Intelligence Bureau reported the situation of the outbreak of the civil war in the Sero Kingdom back to China as soon as possible, the Chinese Empire did not make any action or life, but at the same time, it also acquiesced in Cai Tingyuan's act of transporting reserve weapons to the Sero Kingdom.

From the standpoint of the Chinese Empire, it is natural to hope that the Axis and the Allies will face each other, and the more fierce the confrontation between the two sides, the better, and of course, the weaker the Allies. After the Allies intervened and the government forces were still weak, the Chinese Empire provided them with a number of fighter jets that were in short supply to suppress the Mustang fighters invested by the Boston Empire, and finally balanced the two sides of the civil war, and the next step was to support the Allies.

After Lin Feng formed a cabinet, Qian Guilin, the new foreign minister, sent a note to the ambassadors of the three allies, hoping to discuss economic and trade cooperation with various countries.

After the withdrawal of the trading company of the Chinese consortium in the Kingdom of Sero, it was directly withdrawn into the Yaman Empire, so the relationship between the allies and NATO has eased a lot, after all, people are sending you taxes, which is naturally a manifestation of goodwill, so after the Chinese Empire sent a signal for commercial cooperation, the three countries attached great importance to it, and they immediately sent senior officials of the Ministry of Commerce and Trade to the Chinese Empire by special plane.

Qian Guilin met warmly with the three envoys, and the four of them held a secret meeting that lasted for three hours, and after bargaining, the Chinese Empire signed a series of cooperation agreements with the Allied bloc. In the next five years, the Chinese Empire will invest 10 billion Chinese dollars each in the Yaman Empire, the Habfsburg Kingdom, and the Grand Duchy of Sardinia to help them stabilize prices and restore industrial production.

These agreements seem to be the investment of the Chinese Empire in the three countries, and there are no excessive profits and demands, as if the Chinese Empire has suffered a big loss, but in fact the Boston Empire has understood that this is the beginning of the Chinese Empire to win over the Allied bloc and join forces against the Axis bloc.

In order to expand its power, the collision between the Axis powers and the Allied bloc was inevitable, and the Boston Empire could only stubbornly confront the Allied bloc, hoping to gain the dominance of the Western Continent as soon as possible.

Only by gaining dominance of the Western Continent can the Axis bloc integrate the Boston Empire with the well-established industrial system of the Western Continent and have the capital to confront the NATO bloc, which they now have to fight for.

After Franco's rebels were underarmed, according to the results of Bauer's negotiations with the other two Axis powers, the Boston Empire would provide weapons, and the Nantes Empire would form a volunteer army, and they would send a large number of land forces into the Cerro Kingdom to fight in the name of the Volunteer Army, hoping to achieve a decisive victory as soon as possible.

A month later, the 120,000 elite Nantes army stripped of their epaulettes and cap badges, and with a full set of wave-made weapons and unmarked uniforms, they crossed the Billius Mountains and entered the land of the Cerro kingdom. At the same time, the Storm Ocean fleet of the Boston Empire finally arrived at the port of Brest of the Nantes Empire, and seeing the strong lineup of the other side, the Jarman Empire fleet had to choose to shrink, the Dönitz fleet was recalled to the country, and the civil war of the Kingdom of Cerro entered the second stage.

The Nantes Empire is also the second largest land power in the Western Continent after the Yaman Empire, and its army has a very high fighting quality, when they entered the Cerro Kingdom, they turned westward and soon made contact with the rebel 77th Army stationed on the Douro River, and without the knowledge of the Grand Duchy of Lis, the 120,000 Nantes Army launched a surprise attack on the Reese government forces on the other side of the Douro River.

On the morning of February 13, 920, it was already a very cold morning in the depths of winter, and the battle line formed along the Douro River was in a stalemate, which made both sides somewhat relaxed, and the Reese government army even built a number of barracks about twenty kilometers behind the river bank, so that the soldiers who had been replaced could get a good rest, at least a place to protect themselves from the cold.

The Glaal barracks, located outside the city of Mirandra, is one such place, and the bitter cold wind in the early morning makes all the soldiers choose to hide in the warm quilt and enjoy a moment of peace and quiet on vacation. They had just been replaced yesterday from their positions along the river, they were in a period of recuperation, and now all they need is to relax. Relax your spirit, but also relax your body, so the officers simply canceled the morning exercises.
