Chapter 605: Her Majesty
"What's the trouble?" Chen Zuyin leaned on the porthole of the plane, looking at the Bekaa Valley with a sea of fire below, and said with emotion.
One hundred and fifty bombardments poured more than 300 tons of coagulated shells into the British ring defense line just now, because Allenby did not have any decent field air defense weapons in his hands, and these bombers even dared to drop bombs at several hundred meters, and the most recent coagulated bombs fell less than 50 meters in front of the positions of the Chinese soldiers.
"Forget it, when the fire is over, ask them if they still surrender or not, if there is anything left, of course." The commander of the group army, who likes to eat fast and read Buddha land, said very compassionately.
Of course, the British will definitely not all be burned to death, but more than 15,000 people, including Lieutenant General Allenby, died in this bombing, mainly because they have been compressed to a small enough range, and there is nothing to hide in the empty Bekaa Valley, hastily dug foxholes are simply impossible to block the hell fire, as for the remnants of less than 20,000 British troops, they are directly frightened, and now the Chinese are willing to give them a way to live naturally will not miss, less than half an hour after the bombardment ended, All British troops surrendered.
The Battle of the Bekaa Valley completely destroyed the British attempt to flank the landing, but at the same time as the victory in this battle, the Ottoman Sixth Army on the Northern Front was completely annihilated by the Russian army at Adana, thus opening the door to the north of Aleppo.
"Don't worry about them, the Russians will fight if they dare to come, and we don't need to provoke them if they don't come." Chen Zuyin said that his duty was to protect the airfields in this area anyway, and it was not his duty to attack north.
In fact, the Russians were also not interested in provoking him, after all, although the Russian army was an army group, after continuous fighting, the actual total strength was only 150,000.
The situation in the Middle East has not changed further. The two armies of the Russian army, the three armies of the United States and Britain attacked from the left and right, and retreated to the Thracian Peninsula and the westernmost part of the Anatolian Peninsula, and the four Chinese armies and the Ottomans nominally belonged to the six armies.
And Tabriz, a Russian army group, was surrounded and beaten by a half-Chinese army, but fortunately, there were Armenians to help them, and although the situation was difficult, they were able to hold out for a short time. Also in Tehran. One of his armies led by Brusilov was also engaged in a fierce battle with the Chinese Tenth Army, which was greatly limited in its attack power due to difficulties in transporting supplies. After all, there is only one Trans-Caspian Railway that can provide them with supplies, but the problem is that this railway can only guarantee the middle section, and it can only go to Andijan to the east, and the materials transported from China can only be transported by road, and it is also an ordinary sandy road, so the transportation capacity is naturally limited. To the west, it can only be transported to Ashgabat, and then to the front line in Tehran, it can only be transported by road. As a result, supplies were further constrained, so Brusilov, though with much smaller troops, held on to Tehran.
On the European battlefield, Germany and Austria-Hungary were still fighting stubbornly. They were not under pressure on arms, and both Germany and Austria-Hungary had sufficient supplies of arms, albeit with all their might. However, the Entente bloc, which had to allocate a large number of troops to contain the Chinese, was never able to make a greater breakthrough on the battlefield. The British took Berlin, but they also provoked the bitter hatred of the German people. In the occupied territories, they gradually fell into the quagmire of guerrilla warfare, and in Austria-Hungary, the Italians could only hold on to Croatia, and without the help of the two North American armies, they might not even be able to hold Croatia.
However, although there was no problem with the supply of weapons and ammunition to Germany and Austria, there was a shortage of food, and even the front-line soldiers could not eat, and as for the ordinary people, they were actually starving, and in order to supply the country, William could only strengthen the looting of Poland, Belgium, and Lithuania in the occupied territories, which aroused the revolt in these places, and of course there was not so much to care about at this time.
The Entente did not lack food or weapons and ammunition, although the supply was not sufficient, but they were able to make do with it, after all, they had North America, Canada, and African colonies to plunder, especially Africa, although the war was so tense, but the British and French garrisons on this continent not only did not decrease, but increased significantly, and they used machine guns and artillery to take away from the what they could, grain, livestock, cotton..., even though hunger had begun to rage in Africa.
But the problem is that they are short of people, Britain, France and Italy, needless to say, the current conscription age is 16 years old, and even Russia is about to run out of troops, you must know that China's millions of troops can almost be said to be blocked by them.
Of course, except for the Chinese, in fact, because of the distance, although millions of troops are exposed, the vast majority of Chinese people still lack the intuitive feeling of the war, except that the price of food is slightly higher, this huge empire can hardly see the impact of the war, the city sings and dances, the cinema is full every day, and even Emperor Yang has made black-and-white television sets and television stations, this magical machine qì has received attention, More than the battlefield thousands of miles away.
The war has promoted the crazy development of the economy, and the output of various industrial products has skyrocketed, especially such as steel, automobiles, airplanes, munitions, shipbuilding, etc., industrialization and urbanization are no longer just a concept, but are really displayed in front of people with railways, highways, skyscrapers, and endless factories.
Behind this qiē, of course, are the blood-soaked ruins of Europe, the tens of millions of dead bodies on the Ganges, and the desperate eyes of the scrawny in Africa.
But what does this qiē have to do with me? I didn't provoke the war, well, I admit that I often pushed it from time to time in the back, but that's all, they piled up the firewood themselves, they poured the oil themselves, they lit the fire themselves, and I only occasionally went over and fanned a few times when I saw fit, and in the end it was them, and they themselves jumped into hell without hesitation. Emperor Yang said innocently while holding up his wine glass.
"But you can stop the war from going on now, there are tens of millions of dead people in Europe, and I don't even dare to look at the pictures they sent me now, Berlin in ruins, Paris in ruins, Rotterdam in ruins, almost all the cities I like are in ruins. There are few men to be seen on the streets of London, the crosses on the cemetery are endless, and the soldiers in the hospital who have been burned by qiyou bullets do not look like people at all, but like evil spirits crawling out of hell. They gave me a list, a list I can't count, and every single one of them was once known to me, scientists, writers, artists, who painted the world with the most beautiful colors when they were alive, and now they have all been consumed by war, and many of them can't even find a complete corpse. Queen Lin said with tears in her eyes.
This was the most serious trouble Emperor Yang had faced so far, and a group of fans of Empress Xià in Europe sent her a petition asking Empress Xi à to exert influence on Emperor Xi à and put an early end to this desperate war. She never cared about the outside world, and was immersed in the art world, and was directly stunned by the tragedy in Europe, she really didn't expect that this war had been so cruel, because she always lived in her own ivory tower, even if she went out to see the happy life of the Chinese people, her impression of the war in Europe was just an abstract word.
"You see, I am now the emperor of an empire, I have to think about the future of this empire, I have to make sure that this empire will always be peaceful and prosperous for as long as I can meet, and the only way to do that is to make her the most powerful empire in the world." Yang Feng said.
"But isn't it strong enough now?" Empress Lin asked suspiciously.
"It's really strong now, but that's because other countries have been severely weakened, and if it weren't for this war, we wouldn't have had the unbeatable advantage we have now, but now, what about ten years, twenty years, thirty years from now? Do you think that when we are too old to walk, we watch our children and grandchildren struggling to move around one hungry wolf, and even fear that they will pounce on you at any moment? At that time, we could not do anything to help them, so we had to solve this problem once and for all while we were still in a capacity, so that Europe would not be able to get up for at least half a century, this was an opportunity that they themselves gave us, and if we missed it, we would not have it again. Yang Feng said viciously.
"But how many people have to die like this!" Empress Lin said with compassion.
"It won't be too much, since you don't like it, then I have to let the war end as soon as possible, half a year, half a year at most, if the Entente continues to fight after half a year, then I will accept the armistice conditions they proposed." Yang Feng shrugged and said.
In fact, Emperor Yang is indeed preparing to fight for another half a year, after all, even if he wants to fight European countries without cooperation, it will not work, and judging from the current situation, whether it is the Entente or the Central Powers, to hold on to death is to hold on for another half a year, and half a year is enough for him to completely destroy North America, because at this time, the armies attacking North America have been deployed in place and ready to launch an offensive at any time.
