Chapter 462: Defeat and Surrender

The cost of garrisoning the two countries on the Western Continent was very high, and Fang Xiaoyu was absolutely unwilling to pay out of his own pocket. If the garrison was allowed to directly plunder the localities, it would have a great impact on the international image of the Chinese Empire. The plundering of the Chinese Expeditionary Force in the north can be carried out in the name of the Allies, and the black cauldron is all left to the Yaman Empire, while in the south there is only the Chinese Imperial Army, and once the plundering is carried out, the target will be too obvious.

Fang Xiaoyu has a lot of ghost ideas, as early as when Su Zhizhen began to report and planned to launch an offensive in the Strait of Gibraltar, Fang Xiaoyu began to set up two alternative armies in the country.

One of the armies was dedicated to maintaining local law and order and suppressing riots, and they were composed of reserve forces with 300,000 soldiers, armed with various anti-riot weapons including tear gas, shotguns, explosion-proof shields, electric batons, etc., and this force was named the Chengguan Regiment by Fang Xiaoyu.

The other force consisted of 100,000 Cossack prisoners of war, who became volunteers with the approval of Alexander III. In order to confuse the public, Fang Xiaoyu deliberately equipped them with grass green, a special costume similar to the Boston military uniform, and they were named the Demolition Legion.

When Su Zhizhen was in full control of the two countries, the two legions relied on transport ships to land on the Western Continent. After entering the Western Continent, their command was directly handed over to Su Zhizhen, and the Chengguan Corps was divided into detachments, which cooperated with the garrison to quickly control the towns and villages of the entire peninsula.

Starting from the far south, the demolition legions looted and plundered every city, town, and even settlement, and in the name of raising military funds for the Allies, they plundered everywhere, and the local people complained about the flood that left no grass behind.

The demolition legions were all white-faced, and they were wearing uniforms similar to those of the Boston Empire, how could the people of Cerro recognize them. These demolition corps broke into every area they went, and the things of a little value were requisitioned, and all the beauties and laborers were taken away.

The machines in the factories were all removed, not even the screws were left, even the timber in the walls and the steel beams on the roof were removed and transported, while the local people who did not know the truth only resented the Confederate or the Boston Empire because they plundered the whites, but those beauties were secretly transported back to the Chinese Empire by them and rewarded to the meritorious officers as concubines, and those male laborers met the needs of the construction teams everywhere.

The news of the landing of the Chinese Imperial Army on the Western Continent soon spread all over the world, and the happiest was the Boston Empire, originally Yaman and other countries were unwilling to let the Boston Empire open up a new battlefield in the Western Continent alone, after all, such a powerful empire, every time one more entered the Western Continent and meddled in various affairs here, it would inevitably limit the Yaman Empire's plan to control the Western Continent after the war, especially the independent opening of the battlefield that the Yaman Empire could not monitor.

It is still excusable to let the Chinese Empire enter, after all, the combat effectiveness of the people is there, and the results are absolutely immediate, and the Boston Imperial Army has never fought any beautiful battles, and the best landing in the port of Stedam still needs the troops of the Chinese Empire to rescue them, which can be described as a complete loss of face.

In several battles on the Western Continent, they would only follow other countries to fight with the wind, so the countries were very unoptimistic about the Boston Army, and in the eyes of the Yaman Empire, their combat effectiveness was even inferior to the colonial army stationed in the colony.

This beautiful landing of the Chinese Imperial Army gave the Boston Empire an excuse, and they immediately approached the allies, hoping to send the army again to open up a new battlefield on the western continent.

At present, the war in the whole world is coming to an end, and the colonial strongholds of the Entente countries in the Eastern and Central Continents have almost been wiped out by the Chinese Empire, and the Southern Subcontinent is also completely controlled by the Chinese Empire and the colonial armies of the Allied countries. The Boston Empire, which had joined the war too late, had little opportunity to make war capital, and they were naturally very eager to get enough capital in order to have more say in the future post-war spoils conference.

The Boston Empire used free support for the arms of the Yaman Empire as bait, and the Yaman Empire did not finally let go of the battle to let them open up the battlefield alone, and finally under the compromise between the two sides, the Yaman Empire agreed to give up the coastal battlefield and the Boston army fought alone, even so it was the reason why the Yaman Empire army was too scarce and the battle line was too long and the personnel were not enough.

Being able to get a separate front, the Boston Empire is already very satisfied, after all, their army's combat effectiveness is indeed poor, and if they carry out a landing operation alone, they are also a little weak. Therefore, after obtaining the right to fight alone on this front, they directly transported a large number of land forces from China to land in Wilhelmshaven, and the army directly joined the battle on the Western Front.

In order to make a little achievement, the Boston Empire did make a bloody investment, this time they collected a large number of transport fleets from China, and in a month, they transported a million army and 3,000 artillery pieces to the Western Continent, and after these troops arrived, they were immediately put into the front line to fight.

The arrival of these troops greatly alleviated the problem of insufficient Allied troops, and the Boston Empire was not satisfied with this, but continued to transport a large number of land and material resources to the western continent through sea lines of communication, making the disparity in strength on the battlefield even greater.

Throughout the winter, the Boston Empire continued to carry out transportation, and by the end of March 908, the Boston Army had more than three million troops on the Western Continent. As the temperature warmed up, the Allied troops who had been dormant for a winter launched a fierce offensive again, due to the addition of a large number of Boston artillery, the Allied firepower was more intense, and the Boston Empire paid for it, and the Allied shells poured into the positions of the Entente as if they did not need money, and the Entente soldiers were dizzy, and they could only lie in the fortifications and silently endure endless artillery fire.

The Boston artillery attack was very satisfying to the top of his country, who believed that his own firepower density had reached the level of the Chinese Empire, but then the combat capability of the Boston infantry surprised the countries.

These recruits, who had not experienced war and had not had much training, were no match for the veterans of the Entente who had fought for several years, and it was good to fight with the rest of the world, but now once they fought independently, they still lost more than 50,000 soldiers under a counter-charge of the other side, despite their superiority in firepower and strength.

In desperation, Marshal Moltke, chief of the general staff of the Yaman Empire, had to negotiate with General Pershing, commander of the Boston Expeditionary Force, hoping to mix the armies of the two countries to increase combat effectiveness.

The two sides fought together again, led by the Yaman veterans, and these Boston recruits were able to increase their combat effectiveness and inflict heavy casualties on the Allied forces in the battles that followed, although their casualty rates remained high.

With a steady stream of replenishment of troops and weapons and equipment, the Allied bloc ruthlessly launched large-scale offensives against the Entente countries one after another, so that the Entente countries, whose strength was shrinking day by day, could only parry and had no power to fight back, and in this case they had no good solution except for the defeat and retreat.

After the last painful losses, the Allied fleets cowered in their home ports and did not dare to come out, and became a veritable existing fleet. The Allied fleet blockaded the sea, making it impossible for the Saar Empire to support the Nantes Empire, and the Allied fleet continued to bombard the coastal port cities of the Entente countries, which also caused heavy losses to both countries.

After the Northern Front continued to attack, the Nantes Empire was forced to withdraw troops from the Southern Front, and Su Zhizhen seized this opportunity to quickly break through the Billinius Mountains and invade the territory of the Nantes Empire.

Seeing that the Nantes Empire was gone, the Grand Duchy of Sardinia, which had been weak in attack, also launched a new attack. The Nantes Empire was already embattled, and their living space was rapidly compressed. By the end of April 908, they had lost eight-tenths of their country, including all the industrial areas.

Although the Saar Empire was not invaded, their losses were not small at all. As an island country, they are not rich in resources, under the blockade of the Allied navy, all kinds of factories of the Saar Empire were either destroyed by the enemy's naval guns and aircraft along the coast, or stopped due to lack of raw materials, if it were not for the Allied army to solve the threat of the Nantes Empire first, the Saar Empire would have fallen long ago, and the desperate Entente was doomed.

On May 11, 908, the desperate Emperor Louis of Nantes announced his unconditional surrender to the Confederate bloc. Five days after receiving this news, Elizabeth, the empress of the Saar Empire, had to announce that she had agreed to surrender, and all the participating countries of the Entente countries surrendered, marking the end of this unprecedented world war that affected the whole world.

Unconditional surrender meant being slaughtered, and after the armies of the two countries laid down their arms, several of the major belligerents of the Central Powers sent troops into the remnants of the Saar and Nantes empires, aiming for their own different goals.

What the Yaman Empire wanted most was all kinds of machinery and equipment, so they directly attacked the industrial areas of the Saar Empire and the Nantes Empire, and all the equipment that could be removed was removed, and many factories of the Saar Empire and the Nantes Empire were cleaned up by the Yaman Empire, and there was not even a single wire left.

The Grand Duchy of Sardinia and the Kingdom of Habfsburg, suffering from the weakness of their navies, watched their naval fleets like flies, dividing up the vast number of warships that remained of the Allies after the war.

The Boston Empire was more interested in technology, and they focused on recruiting scientific and technological talents and skilled craftsmen to improve their country's technology and manufacturing level.
