Chapter 372: Continental Charter

Marshal Bayangar, who had always considered cavalry invincible, had not carefully studied the chariot as a weapon, and in his consciousness it was nothing more than a moving box, and he just laughed at the Cossacks' advice to him to be careful, and now he finally suffered.

Hundreds of chariots were like lions breaking into the flock of sheep, frantically harvesting the lives of the Monte soldiers with the two machine guns on the chariots, while the Monte infantry could only hit the solid outer armor of the chariots with their sabers in vain.

"Use a grenade." An officer shouted loudly, awakening many of the Monte cavalry, who drew their anti-tank grenades from their waists, pulled out their snaps, and threw them out. It's a pity that these Monte cavalry hadn't studied the power of this weapon beforehand, and if they knew it, they wouldn't have used it like that.

A huge explosion sounded in the chariot, and the power of the grenade blew off the tracks of the chariot, but the scattered shrapnel killed more Monte cavalry directly, and those Monte cavalry who threw grenades looked at the bloody scene in front of them in surprise, a little overwhelmed, they couldn't imagine that the explosion of the grenade would be as powerful as this.

If the dead infantrymen saw it, they would have told the cavalry how lucky they were. If it weren't for the fact that they were on horseback, throwing grenades far enough with the tremendous inertia of their horses rushing forward, they themselves would have ended up in the same fate as the Monte cavalry who were blown down.

The Montemen had never used grenades before, and they did not know how powerful they should be, and when they saw that they destroyed their chariots and killed many of their own people, the cavalry did not dare to use them again.

Bullets flew and screamed, and the momentum of the hedge turned into a one-sided slaughter, and when the Monters were disappointed to find that they had no other way to stop these ironclad monsters, many soldiers ignored the officers' cheers and fled.

Some of the cavalry were still very bloody, and when the chariot rushed closer, the anti-chariot grenade that they did not dare to use was taken out by them again, and at this moment they did not think about the problem of accidental injury, they pulled out the pull tab one after another, rushed to the chariot, and stopped the opponent's advance with their own lives.

These brave Monte cavalry also caused a lot of trouble for the Wehrmacht's chariot units, but when the charioteers all aimed their machine guns at the still charging Monte cavalry, their success rate was low.

In order to stop the advance of the Chinese army, the Montemen had to abandon their best cavalry and build a line instead, using their own infantry to delay the opponent's attack, and at the same time ask for help from their own suzerain, the Cossack Empire.

The Bayang family, the actual controller of the Monte Empire, and the royal family jointly sent a letter of request for help to the Cossack Empire, hoping that the Cossack Empire could fulfill its obligations as allies and suzerains and send troops to help the Monte Empire block the attack of the Chinese Empire as soon as possible.

In Alexander III's heart, he was a hundred unwilling to be enemies of the Chinese Empire, and years of contact allowed him to understand the power in Fang Xiaoyu's hands better than those countries in the Western Continent, but the situation had reached this point, it was not that he wanted to stop, and he could only bite the bullet for the Monte Empire's request for reinforcements.

If he ignores the life and death of his subjects, I am afraid that no country will be willing to accept the protection of the Cossack Empire in the future, and the international image of the Cossack Empire will also plummet, and even fall into the situation of a third-rate country, which is intolerable to Alexander III, who has always been determined to return to the ranks of the great powers.

After receiving the Monte Empire's request for help, the Cossack Empire had to submit a credential to the Chinese Empire, which demanded that the Chinese Empire immediately withdraw from the territory of the Monte Empire, otherwise the Cossack Empire would take corresponding action, but the Chinese Empire turned a deaf ear to this and ignored it.

Two days later, the Cossack Empire was forced to declare war on the Chinese Empire, and seeing that the Cossack Empire had declared war, the Saar Empire and the Nantes Empire had no choice but to declare war on the Chinese Empire. The Yaman Empire was also happy to push the boat and immediately sent an ambassador to China to discuss with the Chinese Empire the issue of joining the Allied bloc for joint operations.

Fang Xiaoyu was reluctant to make a wedding dress for others, and he made a compromise proposal for the conditions proposed by the Yaman Empire, and after consultations between the two sides, the Yaman Empire, which was eager to find an ally, expressed its willingness to consider it.

In this proposal, the Chinese side proposed that the two sides sign an agreement stipulating that the land they occupied during the war would be owned by the occupying power, except for those originally owned by the allies, which must be returned after the war. This agreement was purely proposed by Fang Xiaoyu in order to prevent post-war ruffles, and the Allied bloc, which is now struggling, has no bargaining capital at all.

Naturally, the Yaman Empire could not make its own decisions, and after negotiations with the heads of state of the Allied bloc, the countries that were already extremely weak in their countries naturally had no choice but to agree. With the approval of the Allied governments, a few days later, the countries of the Allied and ASEAN bloc gathered in Beijing, represented by ambassadors to China, who signed the Continental Charter on behalf of their countries together with Gao Qiong, the foreign minister of the Chinese Empire.

With the agreement on the distribution of benefits after the war, Fang Xiaoyu had confidence, and he quickly agreed to the request to unite with the Central Powers, and a few days later the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Empire issued an announcement that the entire ASEAN Consortium would form a new alliance with the Allied Bloc, and they would fight together against the Entente, and this war that began on the Western Continent finally spread to the entire world.

After deciding to officially join the World War, Fang Xiaoyu immediately convened a meeting of all senior military and political officials. After the order was issued, Fang Xiaoyu came to the large conference room of the joint command early, sat on the main seat and closed his eyes to recuperate, waiting for the arrival of other officials.

"Lao Liu, what kind of meeting will you have when this battle is fought?" Zhang Haiyang walked on the carpet leading to the conference room and asked Liu Junguo puzzled.

Liu Junguo smiled slightly on his face and said: "How do I know that there is a big battle, once we fully participate in the war, this navy is bound to expand, and when the time comes, you must seize the opportunity and ask for more naval expansion." Liu Junguo instructed his deputy to plan to cooperate with the two sides at the meeting for a while to obtain the most funds for the navy.

"Don't think about it, who will go to fight for the expansion of the navy? Now it is the war in the north, and it is up to our army to fight. Feng Shichang walked up from behind, smiling and joking with the two navy officers.

At this time, another flat voice said: "Without the help of our Air Force, will your army be able to afford it?" The three of them didn't need to look back to know that it was Air Force Commander Al who had arrived. Several people got together and discussed with each other the possible scale of the war, he was not at all worried about the upcoming war, and with the strong lineup and military quality of the three armies of the Chinese Empire, they had some expectations for the war.

When the four of them stepped into the conference room, they saw Fang Xiaoyu sitting on a chair with their eyes closed, the four of them hurriedly stepped forward to salute the military, and then found their seats, and the four of them put their military hats on the table and sat upright, not daring to say a word.

Hua Dongxing, Lin Feng and others also arrived one after another, and when they saw Fang Xiaoyu, they all saluted, and then sat down in their seats. The atmosphere of the Chinese Empire is different from that of the Lanfang Empire, in the Lanfang Empire, the more senior members like to arrive late to show the dignity of their status, while in the Chinese Empire, it is just the opposite, the more senior members like to arrive early, thinking that their subordinates set an example.

Soon, officials at and above the ministerial level from the political circles arrived one after another, and the military not only the senior officers of the headquarters and the general staff, but also the commanders of the units stationed nearby at and above the division level all arrived. Seeing that the people were almost here, Fang Xiaoyu slowly opened his eyes.

"Everyone's here." Fang Xiaoyu opened his mouth to ask, and everyone immediately stood up and said, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

Fang Xiaoyu waved his hand to signal everyone to sit down, and then he spoke: "I asked everyone to come today to unify their thoughts, this morning we have officially declared war on the Entente bloc, which means that the Chinese Empire and even the entire ASEAN Association have intervened in this world war. As soon as Fang Xiaoyu's words came out, the faces of the government officials did not change, while the military officials were all excited.

Fang Xiaoyu said: "Now I want to know how prepared the Dao is in China, can anyone talk to me?" ”

Seeing Fang Xiaoyu's question, Huadong Xing was the first to stand up and said: "Your Majesty, our government has made all the preparations, and 500,000 tons of ammunition and 100,000 tons of fuel have been sent to the northern front, including the first batch of reserve weapons. In addition, grain and cotton clothes are also being transferred, and we have more materials to prepare for transportation in the future, because we began to prepare for war a few years ago, and there will be no shortage of materials in the current war. On formal occasions, Huadong Xing didn't dare to call the young master, he still honestly called Fang Xiaoyu His Majesty.

Fang Xiaoyu nodded: "It's good that the materials are enough, remember that the supply of materials must be guaranteed." In addition, what are you prepared for the question of increasing military spending and expanding the troops, which I mentioned to you? ”

In peacetime, East China was the most opposed to large-scale military expansion, but now it was in wartime, so when Fang Xiaoyu started a war against the Monte Empire, he began to allocate funds.

Seeing Fang Xiaoyu ask him, Huadong immediately replied: "Your Majesty, we have allocated at least 300 million Chinese yuan as the first batch of army expansion and war funds, and these funds will arrive within a week. "After a few years of war money, the treasury of the Chinese Empire has become quite abundant, and the East China Bank has begun to be willing to spend money on military investment.

Seeing Fang Xiaoyu nodded, Huadong Xing said again: "As for how to rationally allocate funds, it needs to be coordinated by the military, and I will ask the Ministry of Finance to allocate funds in place as soon as possible......" After speaking, Huadong Xing sat down.
