After owning the Grizzly 2 tank, the Yaman military naturally had a much higher vision, so the first two models of the tank did not receive orders from the military, and the third model was only approved for small batches of trial equipment. It was not until the appearance of a Type 4 tank weighing twenty-three tons with a 76-mm long-barreled gun that the military was satisfied and agreed to buy it in large quantities.

However, the four-type tank has not appeared for a long time, and it is difficult to form a complete combat effectiveness when the number of manufacturing is small, so the main force in the Yaman army is still the Grizzly 2 tank, and the few four-type tanks are only equipped with the most elite First Army.

In the face of the fierce offensive launched by the Allied forces from three directions, the command system of the Nantes Army was disorganized, and the air forces of the three countries continued to bomb their rear supply warfare and transportation facilities, making it difficult for reserves and ammunition to support the front line.

After holding out for several weeks, the Nantes army was broken through by Rommel's First Army in the Verdun direction, and then the Nantes army defending the border collapsed on all fronts, and a great rout began.

In the face of the Allied advance and the vulnerability of the Nantes army, the Axis Allied Forces Command was extremely anxious, so they had to order the Thar army, which was on standby in its own country, to enter the Nantes Empire in large numbers to fight, stabilize their positions as soon as possible, and buy time for the Boston Army to free up their hands from the southern subcontinent.

As an old empire, the Saar army is still very combative, with a large number of merchant ships of the Saar Empire, and the Saar army has transported a large number of heavy artillery and chariot troops across the strait. With the support of the Saar expeditionary force, the Nantes army was able to stabilize its position on the Dordogne River, but more than eighty percent of the Nantes Empire had already fallen, and the capital La Défense had become an isolated city.

Fortunately, with the military support of the Thar Expeditionary Force and the supplies from the Kingdom of Cerro and the Grand Duchy of Rees, the Nantes army was still under the leadership of the commander of the Fourth Army, General de Gaulle, and stubbornly stabilized its position, and the residents of Nantes also fully supported their army, and they went into battle as fast as possible, along the south bank of the Dordogne River, to build a solid enough defensive line.

It has to be said that although the two old empires have endured the defeat of the First World War and the subsequent sinking period of more than ten years, their military heritage is still quite deep. In the face of such an unfavorable situation, and the air supremacy in the hands of the other side, the armies of the two countries withstood the onslaught of Allied forces wave after wave, but still stubbornly held their own front, and at the same time they continued to widen and deepen the front, desperately expanding the strategic depth of the defensive line, and soon turned the south bank of the Dordogne River into another impenetrable steel defensive line.

After suffering heavy casualties in several attacks without making the slightest progress, the Arman army realized that breaking the Dordogne defense line was not something that could be achieved in a short time, so they began to draw troops to prepare for the capture of La Défense first, hoping to deal a big blow to the Nantes army and reduce its morale. The offensive against La Défense was soon launched under the joint action of three armies of the Arman Army and one army group of the Grand Duchy of Sardinia.

Nearly 2,000 Kunpeng 2 bombers were mobilized by the Allied military, and they bombed indiscriminately over La Défense, and the defenders of Nantes were exhausted and could only rely on a pitiful anti-aircraft fire to support them, but these firepower were only a drop in the bucket, and they could only hide in the fortifications and suffer silently in the face of the hordes of bombers.

As the commander-in-chief of this attack, Field Marshal Rundstedt was well aware of the situation of the Central Powers, and if he did not fully control the entire Western Continent as soon as possible, the superior air and navy of the Boston Empire would deal a devastating blow to the Allies once they arrived.

Moreover, in terms of population alone, the Allied bloc is far less numerous than the Axis bloc, and its strength is naturally relatively thin, and once the Boston army lands on the land held by the Nantes army, the offensive and defensive relations between the Axis and the Allied powers will be different, and the attacking force of the Yaman army, which is now full of momentum, will be dealt a devastating blow. To this end, he put aside the unrealistic idea of protecting the bustling city, and ordered the air force to blow up every inch of La Défense without any scruples.

In order to break the will to resist of the Nantes army as soon as possible, they also specially pulled over the only 410-millimeter railguns in the country that were imitated from the Chinese Empire, and at the same time, the heavy artillery of all the Allied armies shelled the city in turn night and day, causing the Nantes defenders to suffer a great blow. Just as the Allied bloc was besieging La Défense, the Axis Navy began a bold operation.

On 2 May 923, thirty-seven Axis aircraft carrier battle groups gathered at the Scapa Bay anchorage in the Saar Empire, targeting the Jarman Empire's most powerful high seas fleet, stationed in several military ports, including the Steddam military port.

The navy of the Empire of Jarman is divided into three parts: the high seas fleet, the home fleet and the submarine force, of which the high seas fleet has eighteen aircraft carriers and their supporting escort warships, unlike the Chinese Empire, the escort warships they equip each aircraft carrier are more complicated, in addition to the necessary six destroyers for anti-submarine use, four cruisers and two or three battleships are the necessary air defense and anti-ship forces.

As a result, the High Seas Fleet has gathered as many as 300 warships and supply ships of various types in the Sturdam military port and its five nearby ports, which can be described as quite large. The reason why Admiral Halsey, the commander of the Axis task force, mobilized so many warships was to destroy the high seas fleet of the Yaman Empire.

"According to satellite photographs and intelligence from various sources, the Combined Axis Fleet wanted to launch an attack on the High Seas Fleet of the Yaman Empire." Zhang Haiyang looked at a piece of information and said.

Su Zhizhen asked, "Should we pass on this information to the Allies?" Su Zhizhen's words silenced a room of people, this issue really needs to be cautious, this is related to the possible direction of this conflict, but also related to the future strategic direction of the Chinese Empire.

Zhang Haiyang said in a resolute tone: "My opinion is not to inform the Yaman Empire. ”

"Oh? For what? Fang Ruijun asked strangely, now his heart is actually biased towards the Allied bloc, after all, they are weaker, if they can hit the Boston Empire hard, it will also be very beneficial to the Chinese Empire.

Zhang Haiyang analyzed: "Perhaps everyone thinks that our biggest enemy is the Axis bloc, and as long as we can weaken their military strength, it will be beneficial to us." ”

Zhang Haiyang's words paused, and saw that many high-ranking officers in the room were nodding unconsciously, and a smile appeared on his face: "Actually, we can know if we look forward to the future of this incident, if the fleet of the Yaman Empire is wiped out this time, the Boston Empire will land on the Western Continent, and a very fierce land battle will break out, no matter who wins or loses on both sides, their soldiers will not be killed or wounded, which is an irreparable loss in a short period of time for the white people with a small population." ”

Seeing that everyone else was nodding their heads again and again, Zhang Haiyang's words changed and said, "What if we inform the Yaman Empire of the information?" Now that the Allies have the upper hand on the Western Continent, if they inflict heavy damage on the Axis fleet at sea, the land forces of the Boston Empire will not dare to set foot on the land of the Western Continent, because they will not be able to make up for the losses at sea in a short time. If a large-scale land war does not break out between the two sides, the war may be anticlimactic, and the result will be that the Western Continent will be completely controlled by the Central Powers, and the military power of the Boston Empire will shrink, but the Allies will not have the strength to attack the New World, and their government will compromise at the end, and only a few countries such as the Kingdom of Sero and the Nantes Empire will be sacrificed. ”

Su Zhizhen continued: "Yes, if this happens, the war between the two sides will subside. The massive build-up of our NATO alliance has already begun, and within a few years it will show its might, when the Axis and the Allies, both white countries, will tend to unite against us after feeling the pressure we have brought, and then we will have to deal with two white military blocs that have not done much damage. ”

Zhang Zhonglin nodded and said: "Yes, if we don't inform the Yaman Empire of the information, the Allies will be completely defeated after the fierce battle, and although the Axis countries can gain the territory of the Allies, their losses will not be small, and they will have to deal with the resistance forces of the Allies for a long time, which will be beneficial for us to deal with the Axis countries in the future." ”

"Since everyone's analysis is so clear, we won't inform the Yaman Empire of this information." Fang Ruijun finally made a decision on this matter, and then he pondered for a moment and said: "Although we can't inform the Yaman Empire, we must know their details, whether we can monitor this battle throughout the whole process, which is of great significance for us to understand the combat effectiveness of the Axis Group Navy." ”

Zhang Zhonglin said: "There is a way, as long as we can let Zhonghua Island launch two or three geostationary satellites for the northern part of the storm ocean, we can monitor that area 24 hours a day, and there will be absolutely no omission." ”

Since the imperial Chinese military had intelligence and communications from satellites in space, Zhang Zhonglin has become more and more dependent on it. Fang Ruijun shook his head: "It's just to observe a battle, we don't need such expensive satellites, maybe we can think of a way from the air force." After speaking, Fang Ruijun looked at Air Force Commander Chen Yu.

Admiral Chen Yu pondered for a moment and said: "This is not impossible, we have just recently received a new strategic reconnaissance plane, this kind of strategic reconnaissance aircraft called Hei Yu has a maximum speed of Mach 3.2 per hour, a practical ceiling of 30,000 meters, and as long as two conformal auxiliary fuel tanks are hung, the combat radius can reach 5,400 kilometers." In this way, it was enough to set up the take-off airfield in the border area of the Cossack Empire, using four or five aircraft to take turns to make a sortie, and it was enough to monitor the coastal areas of the Yaman Empire for the whole time. ”
