Chapter 671: The Great War of the Far North (4)

"No, no, no, this is absolutely not possible, the port of Helsinki is the capital of the Grand Duchy of Gothenburg, and its defense must be very strong. It is also close to the sea, and we can get naval support at any time, and we will not be killing ourselves if we go there. ”

Zhukov smiled: "It is precisely because it is a dead end, that no one will think of it, so that it can be taken by surprise, and I also need your cooperation." Zhukov showed a look of confidence.

Two days after the capture of the city of Lahti, a corps led by Vasilev suddenly turned back to the east, disguising itself as the main force, again aiming at Lappeenranta, and the combined forces of the two northern countries, which were mobilizing their forces, soon got the news.

Completely unsure of the direction of the Cossack army's attack, the combined forces of the two countries could only passively defend, and 500,000 allied soldiers quickly assembled at Lappeenranta, intending to block the way of Vasilev's troops, but Vasilev made a false shot, and the troops took Ossayburg to the north.

Vasilev's actions were very sudden, relying on a faster speed than the other side, they intercepted the 11th Infantry Division of the Grand Duchy of Gothenburg, which was moving south from the north. Using the shock of the chariot, the Cossack army was quickly wiped out, and then they continued north without even having time to clean up the battlefield, and attacked another Viking force, and then Vasilev sent a force to attack Ossayburg under the guise of a Gothenburg rout, which was easily occupied.

Vasilev took advantage of the mobility of the mechanized troops to strike at the enemy's weak points at high speed that the other side could not react to, and quickly ate several small units of the combined forces of the two countries, successfully attracting their attention, while Zhukov took the main force and advanced towards the port of Helsinki by day and night.

The rumbling artillery was heard again, the port of Helsinki was subjected to a sudden heavy artillery attack, and under the cover of night, the chariots of the Cossack corps quickly broke through the city and took the Gothenburg defenders by surprise.

"Something's wrong." Awakened by the sound of artillery, Grand Duke Savelli of the Grand Duchy of Gothenburg rushed out of his bedroom in his pajamas and walked to the hall with a group of guards, on the way he met the Minister of Defense, General Larry, who had arrived in a hurry, and he hurriedly inquired about the situation outside.

General Larry, who looked indifferent, said: "Dear Grand Duke, something is wrong, the Cossack army is coming." His tone was flat, and there was no hint of urgency.

"What? Didn't you report yesterday that they were in the area north of Lappeenranta, and that they had eliminated one of our divisions, and that they would start attacking Helsinki at night, would they not be able to fly? Grand Duke Saveli waved his hands angrily and said: "How good it was that we chose to become a neutral country at the beginning, even if there is no war dividend, we can always live a stable life, you see how it is now." ”

Grand Duke Savelli roared angrily: "It's all to blame you officers for blindly fighting the main battle, saying that you want to strengthen the country's strength and follow the victorious country to obtain war dividends." Look at how it is now, the dividends of the war have not yet been seen, we have already suffered heavy losses in our country, and even the capital has been invaded, what should we do now? ”

General Larry looked at Archduke Sawelli, who was walking back and forth and roaring incessantly, with idiot eyes, and secretly disdainful in his heart. When the two great powers of the Western Continent were side by side, the two major blocs of countries were desperately expanding their strength, and if they had not chosen a side at the beginning, a weak neutral country like the Grand Duchy of Gothenburg would have been the priority to be eliminated.

At first, he advocated joining the NATO alliance, but Grand Duke Savelli did not listen, and joined the Axis group at the suggestion of another general. And it would be good to join the Axis bloc, if the Grand Duchy of Gothenburg had joined the Allied bloc, it would have been destroyed along with them. What's more, after the elimination of the Allied bloc, the Grand Duchy of Gothenburg also reaped a lot of war dividends, and the Grand Duke of Savelli, who was also ecstatic at the time, now comes to complain about their wrong proposal, which is really infuriating.

Being an official is like this, your proposal is successful, and that is the wise decision of the Grand Duke. If there is a mistake, it is the person who proposed it to confuse the Lord, no wonder many officials in the country are more than one thing is better than one thing, and all day long with the idea of getting by, so that the country has not been able to develop.

Now that the Cossacks have stormed the capital, it is useless to complain, and General Larry can only propose: "Grand Duke, the enemy is quite cunning, and now it seems that they should divide their forces, so it seems that there should not be many enemies." Just for the safety of the Grand Duke, I feel that the Grand Duke should move somewhere else, and I will lead the defenders to resist in the capital. When reinforcements arrive, we will be able to turn defeat into victory and destroy these Cossack troops that have invaded our country in one fell swoop. ”

After being reminded by General Larry, Grand Duke Savelli remembered that he was already on the front line, and he immediately became afraid, and when he heard General Larry's proposal, he immediately nodded and said: "That's good, I will move the royal family and government to Suriname first, and you stay to organize the encirclement and suppression, as long as the Cossack army is eliminated, I will be rewarded." After saying this, the Grand Duke of Savelli immediately beckoned the guards to pack up, called out the Grand Duchess and her children, filled several cars with his possessions, and quickly left.

General Larry's adjutant looked at the departing convoy and spat out, "What is it, you know how to shout, and you can hide faster than anyone else when you encounter danger." General, are we really here to command the encirclement and suppression? There were only 30,000 defenders in the city. ”

General Larry said, "Do you think I'm stupid? The opponent broke through three lines of defense within an hour and occupied a small half of the city, and its troops must have been quite large, and we couldn't stop it at all. ”

The adjutant said, "Then what do you mean......"

General Larry asked rhetorically, "How many more troops do we have at our disposal now?" ”

The adjutant said: "All the armies in the country can be controlled, and those who disobey us are sent to the front, even if the army is on the front line, we can control one-third of it." ”

General Larry nodded and said, "I've put up with these guys for a long time, and I'm actually in the same league with those stupid people in the Boston Empire against the mighty Chinese Empire." If I had joined NATO, I would have been able to win in the end, even though I might have suffered some losses in the war. ”

"General, you mean to...... Rebel? The adjutant gasped.

General Larry corrected: "It's not a rebellion, it's the overthrow of tyranny." Someone was sent to contact the Cossacks, and they said that I would personally go to them to negotiate and hope that they would stop the attack. ”
