As a result, the reply of the Governor of Campunan was also very crisp. This stone fortress was built when the Sahr Empire first landed in the Southern Colonies, and if you want the Sahr army to disappear here, start where they first landed, and the Saar colonists will fight for their honor.

Now that the negotiations have broken down, Sun Xiaohu can only attack. The Swordfish attack planes that had put up bombs again launched the attack first, and the 500-kilogram bombs fell around the stone fortress and exploded layers of smoke columns, and the few that could land in the fort would cause great casualties, but because the Chinese Empire did not develop dive bombers, it was difficult to hit such a narrow area by horizontal bombing alone.

Seeing that the bombing effect was not good, the large-caliber artillery of the Marine Corps began to roar, and one shell of 203 mm caliber hit the stone wall of the fort, blowing out a terrifying hole, and the debris in the fort was splashed, and the soldiers suffered heavy casualties.

As soon as the cannon fire went out, under the cover of the Weasel 1 tank, the marines launched a charge. Entering the fort through holes blown out by heavy artillery, the marines raised their submachine guns and fired fiercely, and a soldier named Saar fell, and in only an hour, the stone fortress was overcome, and finally more than 1,000 Saar defenders in the fort were killed, along with Governor Campnan and Lieutenant General Delaya.

Accompanied by several Marine Corps officers, Sun Xiaohu ascended to the ruined stone fort as the Marines cleaning the battlefield dragged a corpse out of the rubble. Seeing that although the clothes on the corpse were full of dust and blood, it was difficult to hide its gorgeousness, Sun Xiaohu stepped forward and said, "Wait a minute, who are you carrying?" ”

Hearing Sun Xiaohu's question, several soldiers were stunned, they had just dug out the corpse, who knew who it was. At this time, a staff officer standing behind Sun Xiaohu said: "General, this is the governor of the Saar Empire in the southern colonies, Kampnan, I saw him when I went to give them an ultimatum. ”

Looking at the battered corpse of the Governor of Kampnan, as well as his eyes that were not blinding, Sun Xiaohu sighed and said: "He is also a loyal governor, although we belong to different camps, it does not prevent me from respecting him as a person, you should bury all the fallen soldiers of the Saar Army well, we must give these warriors the respect they deserve." ”

The Marines continued to land, and after taking full control of Cape Town's harbor, subsequent transports began to dock one after another, bringing in large quantities of construction materials, heavy artillery parts, and ammunition supplies.

The captured Saar immigrants and captives were immediately recruited, and they were to build permanent fortifications of reinforced concrete on several dangerous cliffs to house the numerous shore guns brought from the country, which were of various calibers, the largest of which were five guns, and the caliber of which was even four hundred and six millimeters.

The purpose of the Chinese Empire was very obvious, not only to occupy this rich land unknown to the world, but also to completely cut off the connection between the Entente and the Southern Ocean, and completely control the Southern Ocean and its vicinity.

Cape Town was only a stronghold of the southern colonies controlled by the Sahr colonial army, and there were many local indigenous tribes in the vast colony who were subordinate to the Sahr. The Saar Empire was sparsely populated, and it was understandable that they only controlled a little bit to radiate the entire colony, while the Chinese Empire relied on a huge population base to completely occupy these areas with immigrants, and they could not tolerate the existence of uncontrolled armed forces in their own land.

After taking full control of the port of Cape Town, the Marines began to explore and occupy the entire southern colony as a battalion, and they would spend the next year consolidating the colony here, using indigenous labor to build settlements and roads, and striving to take control of the area as soon as possible, resulting in the actual occupation of the Chinese Empire.

The Chinese Empire had reaped enough of the benefits of this war, while the major Central Powers had not had such an easy time, and as the situation became more and more severe, the Saar Empire and the Nantes Empire pressed the treasure on the western continent. They wanted to use their local superiority to destroy several countries of the Central Powers first, and then negotiate with the Chinese Empire and the Boston Empire with the entire Western Continent in their hands to obtain the most favorable armistice conditions.

Fang Xiaoyu was well aware of the mentality of the Entente, so he restrained the submarine force of the Chinese Imperial Navy from the stormy ocean, did not interfere with the maritime transportation of the Saar Empire, and deliberately connived at the Entente to attack the Allied bloc. The Yaman Empire asked the Chinese Empire to send enough submarine forces to intercept the Thar Empire's increasingly busy transport fleet, but Fang Xiaoyu blocked it on the pretext that the submarine was not endured enough and could not enter the Storm Ocean to fight.

For such an excuse of the Chinese Empire, the Yaman Empire also has nothing to say, after all, judging from the submarines sold to them by the Chinese Empire, the endurance is indeed not enough to carry out such an ocean-going operation, and they can only acquiesce to the explanation of the Chinese Empire, and Fang Xiaoyu's request made the submarine forces of the Chinese Empire do nothing throughout the First World War, leaving the impression that the Chinese Empire does not attach importance to submarines.

The current Chinese Empire is the vane of the development direction of the world's weapons, and since the Chinese Empire does not attach importance to this kind of weapon, it is natural that they do not look down on submarines. This has also made all countries regard submarines as the weapons of poor countries and the weapons disdained by the naval powers, and the speed of submarine research in various countries has slowed down, and the militaries of various countries have mostly stopped paying attention to the construction and development of submarines.

How to develop submarines is a post-war problem, and now the most interesting thing is the dying struggle of the Entente, in order to defeat the Allied bloc, the main target of the Entente's offensive is naturally placed on the Yaman Empire, which still occupies part of the territory of the Nantes Empire.

In addition to the Yaman Empire, the Kingdom of Habfsburg and the Grand Duchy of Sardinia were only second-rate powers, and once they lost the support of the Yaman Army, the Entente believed that it would be very easy to defeat them.

In order to achieve this operational goal, the Entente mobilized all the combat forces it could muster, and launched an attack from both Verdun and Amiens. In the face of the offensive of the Allied coalition forces, the strength of the Yaman army appeared to be somewhat stretched.

The Great War had been going on for several years, and the Yaman Empire had lost more than three million soldiers in successive brutal land battles, which was already a bone break for the Yaman Empire, with a total population of just over 40 million.
