Chapter 545: Shifting Targets

After hearing that Ivan VI had asked to see him, Fang Ruijun received him in the apse. Receiving Ivan VI in the apse already showed that Fang Ruijun regarded him as a relative, and Ivan VI was very satisfied with this.

Although Fang Ruijun was not born to Daria, because of the harmony of Fang Xiaoyu's harem, the concubines did not fight with each other, and they also treated their children equally, so Dalia was also very fond of Fang Ruijun. With such a relationship, Fang Ruijun naturally respected Ivan VI very much, not only exempted him from the courtesy, but also ordered someone to move him a seat.

Ivan VI was very clear about the harmony of Fang Xiaoyu's harem, so he didn't have much restraint, and after a few words of greeting, he directly explained his intentions. "Your Majesty, I don't understand, after the initial overwhelming offensive, the rebels have only a corner of the Paladin's Castle left, why is Your Majesty asking us to stop the attack at this time, and only surround and not fight?"

Fang Ruijun smiled and did not answer his question directly: "Your Majesty Ivan, do you know why the Russian army has so much heavy equipment, and such a powerful military force and materials, all of which are manufactured and produced by themselves?" ”

Ivan VI said: "Of course not, most of these equipment and supplies were aided by the Boston Empire, and in order to cut off these aids, the bombers of your air force have been bombing day and night." ”

Fang Ruijun said with a smile: "That's right, the Boston Empire has traveled thousands of miles to deliver aid to Russia, and has lost a lot of ships under the attack of our Air Force, so it can greatly consume the national strength of the Boston Empire." And the support for Russia has become a burden to the Boston Empire, if you abandon Russia is equivalent to abandoning your allies, which will make those countries that have just joined the Axis group have dissenting intentions, and turn away from the Boston Empire, but not giving up Russia has lost its strategic value, and their supplies will only slowly drain the blood of the Boston Empire. There are more than 3 million troops and tens of millions of civilians in Fort Paladin, not to mention asking the Bostonians to transport weapons and ammunition, even if it is enough for them to choke on food, the Boston Empire, which wants to use Russia to consume our national strength in the long run, will be consumed. ”

"Tall." Fang Ruijun's words made Ivan VI suddenly, and he secretly admired it in his heart, he really deserved to be Fang Xiaoyu's son, he was really a tiger father without a dog, in terms of strategic vision and political skills, one is really stronger than one, just such a blunt knife to cut flesh and slowly bleed is enough for the Boston Empire to drink a pot.

After Fang Ruijun's explanation, Ivan VI fully understood, not only did he no longer urge Gao Deyu to attack the Paladin's Fort, but instead mobilized the people to build a permanent fortification group around the Paladin's Fort. After all, the Cossack Empire ruled this land for hundreds of years, although it encountered such a big upheaval, but the residual power is still there, coupled with the current Cossack Empire's very generous livelihood policy, so that the people in the occupied areas quickly returned to their hearts, and the domestic situation quickly stabilized.

With a stable life, Ivan VI just gave an order, and when there was money to be paid and food, a large number of people enthusiastically joined the construction team, and the Chinese Empire transported a large amount of steel and cement here, and even took out all the engineering vehicles in the army.

The fortifications were quickly built, and with these permanent fortifications, the army besieging the Paladinburg could be reduced a lot, and at the end of the year, the Chinese Empire even left only the air force, and all the land forces returned to the territory of the Chinese Empire, and the Cossack Empire's encirclement troops were only more than 200,000 left, and the other troops were scattered to stabilize the situation.

The Boston Empire is now in a hurry, and the all-out transportation to Russia can only ensure the rations of more than 10 million people in the Paladin Fort, as for weapons and equipment, there is no talk of it at all, and this is still in the case of the loss of at least thirty transport ships a day, Boston's monthly material aid costs plus losses, have been as high as 500 million waves, which country can bear it in the long run.

Even so, it can only ensure that the Russian army will not starve to death, and as for their respective weapons, don't even think about it, the Russian army, which lacks heavy weapons, can only endure the bombing of aircraft and long-range shelling by the Cossack army day after day, and there is no hope for the future at all, and there is no courage to storm the opponent's defense line.

After three months, the Boston Empire was too much to consume, and such a long loss had already made the Boston Empire feel the pain of the flesh, so they sent an envoy to the Cossack Empire, hoping to mediate the war between the two countries. To this, Ivan VI replied quite simply, this is the Cossack Empire attacking the rebels at home, it is a matter of internal affairs of the country, and other countries have no right to interfere, and the Bostonians were choked back with a word.

In order to be able to recoup the capital, the Boston Empire took advantage of the fact that the Chinese Empire was concentrating its experience on Russia, and instigated a rebellion in the territory of the Cerro Kingdom.

As an old power in the Western Continent, although the national strength is declining, there are still some catties and twos, at least at present, there are still twelve army establishments in the country, four air force wings, and the navy also has several cruisers and destroyers in service, which is much better than his vassal Grand Duchy of Rees.

At the beginning of the end of the war, the Kingdom of Sero was taken care of economically by the Chinese Empire, and the domestic economy was greatly recovered. However, after the economy was partially recovered, racial discrimination in the country began to rise again, and when the Chinese Empire invaded the Kingdom of Sero, it caused serious damage to many cities, which further fueled Sinophobia in the country.

Under the impetus of well-intentioned people, there were many discriminatory phenomena against the Chinese in the country, and many civilians believed that the various trading companies of the Chinese consortium had made their money and exploited their interests, so the people's call for defecting to the Allies or the Axis powers was getting louder and louder. King Carlos I of the Kingdom of Sero was very grateful for the care given by the Chinese Empire, so he tried his best to suppress the antiphobia among the people, hoping to continue to receive a share of trade from the Chinese Empire.

Carlos I had a good idea, as long as he could obtain more trade profits, he would be able to build an industrial base in the country, so that the kingdom of Sero would once again enter the ranks of the world's great powers, and at least overwhelm the economically weakened Grand Duchy of Sardinia, and the kingdom of Habfsburg, which had been divided into most of its territory. At that time, the Sero Kingdom will be able to compete with the Yaman Empire for control of the Western Continent, or at least be able to compete with it and form its own sphere of strength.
