Chapter 511: The Civil War in Habfsburg (3)

The number of soldiers on both sides is about the same, and the quality of personnel is almost the same, so what is fighting at this time is the familiarity with the terrain and the advantage of equipment. In terms of terrain, the Russians are naturally very unfamiliar, and in terms of weaponry, the government army, which completely copied the equipment of the Chinese Empire, was obviously better than the Russians who used the weapons of the Boston people.

Advanced steel ball grenades, semi-automatic rifles, grenade launchers, and light mortars. Although the Chinese Empire did not export bazookas to them, such equipment was enough to overwhelm the Russians with Wave-made Garand semi-automatic rifles.

Under the command of the cool-headed Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Government Army, Field Marshal Hezendorf, the government troops quickly stabilized their position, relying on the fortified buildings in the streets, setting up a large number of firing points, and shooting a large number of attacking Russians with crossfire from different directions, such a firepower configuration caused great difficulties for the Russians who were eager to attack.

After paying heavy casualties, the Russians occupied only a fifth of the Schar Fort, and were no longer able to advance, and the two sides had to hold on to each other along several fixed streets. Field Marshal Hutzendorf had an idea, and even if the two sides had already entered a stalemate, he could not make it too easy for the Russians.

He immediately ordered mortars and grenade launchers to be assigned to the front line, specifically looking for the enemy's machine gun fire, and at the same time ordered the heavy artillery group to cover the Russian-occupied areas.

"Marshal, something is wrong." A staff officer came running to Herzendorf.

Hetzendorf glanced at the staff officer and asked, "Oh, what's wrong?" ”

The staff officer replied with an incredulous expression: "Someone came to report just now that the Sixth Division at the front had found several corpses of the opposing party, and these corpses did not seem to be Budvimans or Sloes. ”

"Oh?" Field Marshal Hezendorf immediately realized the seriousness of the problem: "Let them carry those corpses over and show me." ”

"Yes, Marshal." The staff officer promised to go find someone immediately.

After a while, several corpses dressed in rebel uniforms were carried out into the courtyard, and Marshal Hezendorf came out of the house, looked carefully at the corpses, and said: "It's the Russians, or rather, the traitors of the Cossack Empire." ”

Several accompanying staff officers said: "Marshal, could it be people from the Cossack Empire, maybe they were sent by the Chinese Empire." ”

Herzendorf shook his head and said, "No way, the Chinese Empire has no grudges or conflicts of interest with us, and there is no need for them to support the rebels. ”

A staff officer said: "If this is the Chinese Empire wanting to meddle in the affairs of the Western Continent, it is completely possible to send volunteers." ”

Herzendorf shook his head and said: "No, the Kingdom of Sero and the Grand Duchy of Rees both have a good impression of the Chinese Empire, if they want to penetrate deep into the Western Continent, they will naturally start from that direction, and they will never use this risky way." ”

In the minds of the staff officers, there is still a deep-rooted view of white supremacy, and now that the Chinese Empire is rising strongly, they are naturally on guard all the time, and once there is anything abnormal, it is easy to think in this direction, but Hezendorf is one of the few sober people in the Western Continent.

Carefully observing several corpses, Marshal Herzendorf suddenly made a discovery, he leaned down and pulled out a pistol from the corpse and said: "You see, these people use Colt pistols produced in the Boston Empire, and I think the long guns they use should also be Garand semi-automatic rifles, or Springfield-style rifles." ”

The staff officer who went to call said, "That's right, they used Garand." ”

Hezendorf nodded: "That's right, the Boston Empire is very strict about the inspection of arms exports, even if the Cossack Empire uses wave-made weapons to confuse us, it is impossible to get them in large quantities, even if they are captured from the battlefield, after all, they are far away from us, and they are separated by a Russia, so it is very inconvenient to send troops." And today's attack by the other side, in my opinion, are all these Russians, and if they were soldiers of the Cossack Empire who entered our territory in formation, they would never be able to do it silently, only the Russians bordering us could do it. ”

A senior staff officer next to him frowned and said, "Marshal, if that's the case, it's troublesome." It seems that the Boston Empire is ready to meddle in the affairs of the Western Continent. ”

Hezendorf nodded: "That's right, it's complicated. Unexpectedly, this time in the World Realm War, our Western Continent powerhouses buried themselves by themselves. In the past, we were the only foreign colonizers, but now we have to guard against other countries interfering in our western continent. Listening to Marshal Hezendorf's words, the other staff officers were also embarrassed.

The Russian army attacked suddenly, and it didn't make much logistical preparations, but now it can't attack for a long time, and it has been suppressed by the enemy's heavy artillery fire, and it has to choose to retreat after the worst. The Russian army retreated in a hurry, naturally unable to take away the bodies of the fallen soldiers, and these corpses and sidearms were captured by the Habsburg government forces who cleaned the battlefield, and they became the so-called evidence of the Habsburg royal government.

A few days later, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Habvsburg sent an official note to the Russian ambassador, stating that if the other side did not withdraw the Russian troops supporting the rebels, the Kingdom of Habsburg would break off diplomatic relations with Russia, and the Russian ambassador would prevaricate with volunteers.

The Russians could prevaricate the Habsburgs, but they could not prevaricate the Yamans, and the Yaman Empire, which was worried that it could not help, immediately found a breakthrough. The Foreign Minister of the Empire of Yaman also sent a note to his Russian ambassador, and their tone was not so polite.

Foreign Minister Yaman directly issued an ultimatum to Russia, if Russia did not withdraw all its troops from the Habsburg Kingdom within forty-eight hours, it would be regarded as a provocation to the Central Powers, and the Allied bloc would declare war on Russia.

Naturally, the Chinese Empire did not want the tentacles of the Boston Empire and Russia to penetrate into the Western Continent, and at the same time, the military of the Cossack Empire and the Chinese Empire, and even the inevitable army of the Iranian Empire, began to gather forces on the Russian border.

This move by several surrounding countries frightened the Russians, and Ulyanov quickly ordered the withdrawal of all the troops supporting the rebels, and apologized to the Yaman Empire and the Habfsburg Kingdom, and at the same time said that this was the private personal behavior of some military officers and had nothing to do with the state, and the Russian government would severely punish those involved.

The Allied bloc is also a matter of face for this matter, and since the other side has withdrawn its troops and given the Allies a reasonable explanation, they will naturally no longer pursue it. However, when the Russians retreated, they left all their weapons and equipment to the Buffeman rebels in accordance with the instructions of the Boston Imperial Government, and returned to the country empty-handed, and at the same time, the Boston Empire also increased material aid to the rebels.

After detailed discussions, the two high-level leaders finally decided that the Slavs would join the Buffyman rebels and fight against the government army, and that after the victory, the Bremen would help the Slavs establish their own country.

With a mutually beneficial relationship, a large number of young Sloes who had participated in the Great War of the World took up arms again and joined the ranks of the rebels. With the Boston Empire openly supplying weapons, the rebels gradually gained numerical superiority, and by the end of April the following spring, the rebels had more than 800,000 troops, while the government forces were still only about 500,000.

The government army of the Kingdom of Habfsburg has not yet completed the redress, and about half of the soldiers are still using old-fashioned weapons and equipment, while the resistance army is already the latest equipment of the Boston Empire, and the change of offensive and defensive forces between the two sides has become inevitable in the case of changes in the balance of strength. The rebels began to launch a step-by-step offensive against the government forces, gradually recovering the cities occupied by the government forces, and under the blows of the superior forces of the rebels, the government forces were forced to retreat again and again, and two months later, the city of Rodris was recovered.

The reconquest of Rodrith meant that the rebels had seized all of the lost territory, and it was the traditional power of the Haranli to move forward. By this time, Ferdinand III could no longer sit still. Originally, Ferdinand III was very afraid that the Allied army would enter the country and cause a big situation, but now that the war situation has been corrupted to this point, he will lose his country if he does not seek the help of his allies, so he immediately sent a request for assistance to the Yaman Empire.

Wilhelm II was overjoyed to receive a telegram from Ferdinand III asking for help, and he had been waiting for the rebels to be suppressed. In his thoughts, the rebels are vulnerable, and the powerful army of the Yaman Empire will definitely crush those rebels like a devastation, and then he can control the internal affairs of the Habfsburg Kingdom like the emperor, but his reinforcements have not yet been sent, and the letter of the Boston Empire will arrive.

The letters of the Boston Empire stated that the Kingdom of Habfsburg was a member of the Central Powers, and the Yaman Empire was naturally obliged to support it, but the resistance was not part of the Central Powers. The Boston Empire had deep sympathy for these rebels who rebelled against tyranny, and he hoped that disputes could be resolved peacefully without resorting to force, and that the Yaman Empire would think twice.

At the end of this letter, the Boston Empire very vaguely mentions that as the economic power of the Boston Empire continues to grow, the amount of money begins to be insufficient, and the country is in danger of deflation, so the Boston dollar needs to consider appreciating in order to cope with the currency tension.

In order to be able to insert the power of power into the Western Continent, the Boston Empire has torn its face this time. Their credentials did not contain much substance on the surface, but in fact they asked the Yaman Empire not to send troops into the Habfsburg Kingdom to fight, and at the same time expressed their willingness to mediate between the two sides. And the news of the hope to increase the value of the Boston dollar seems useless but is a naked threat.
