The Afghan-Botov War began as an undeclared war, and the fierce Afghan Army dealt a heavy blow to the Persian Army. On the first day of the war, the Afghan army advanced into the territory of the Persian kingdom. In particular, the Northern Route Army advanced up to 40 kilometers in one fell swoop. Moreover, this is also because of the constraints of the soldiers' bodies, they have to stop and rest.

The second-line army deployed by the Persian army on the border has completely collapsed under the attack of the Afghan army, and they are simply unable to organize a powerful counterattack, so they can only let the Afghan army drive straight in. Suffice it to say, the Afghan Army did not meet decent resistance at all, and their attacks were actually more like marching than fighting.

Afghanistan invaded the Persian kingdom without declaring war, which caused the Persian kingdom to resist fiercely. On the very day of the invasion of the Kingdom of Afghanistan, the king of the Kingdom of Persia, Nasser. Fourth. The Shah declared war on the Kingdom of Afghanistan and called on all the Persians to rise up against the invasion of the Kingdom of Afghanistan, claiming that the Kingdom of Persia would fight to the end until the invasion of the Kingdom of Afghanistan was crushed.

Internationally, the invasion of the Kingdom of Afghanistan has also been strongly condemned. The German Empire was the first to jump out and accuse the Kingdom of Afghanistan of this despicable and shameless act of war, believing that it was a peaceful and peaceful dissolution to Western Asia, and demanded that the army of the Kingdom of Afghanistan immediately withdraw from the territory of the Kingdom of Persia and retreat to its own territory. The German Empire is looking for oil in the province of Khuzistan, and although it is not yet visible, after the initial exploration, the geologists of the German Empire are almost certain that there will be oil in the province of Khuzstan. Or a super oil field with huge reserves. Naturally, the German Empire did not want the initial investment to be wasted, so they would do everything they could to help the Persian Kingdom.

Other than that. The fact that the Chinese Empire would have pushed the Kingdom of Afghanistan into the Kingdom of Persia in such a short period of time also proved that there was definitely oil in the province of Khuzistan. Otherwise. The reaction of the Chinese Empire would not have been so great. In order not to lose its investment in the Persian kingdom, the German Empire had to ensure that the Persian kingdom would not be destroyed. So, they were the first to jump out and blame the Kingdom of Afghanistan.

However, the Kingdom of Afghanistan is backed by the Chinese Empire, and the warnings and threats of the German Empire will certainly not be taken seriously. Although the German Empire was the second most powerful country in the world after the Chinese Empire, it was far from Western Asia and had very limited influence on the Kingdom of Afghanistan. Not to mention, there is the protection of the Chinese Empire. Even if the German Empire really wanted to use force against the Kingdom of Afghanistan, it had to consider the reaction of the Chinese Empire. It is definitely not a good thing to go to war with the Chinese Empire now. The Germans had to avoid a direct conflict as much as possible.

As the hegemon of the Middle East, the Ottoman Turkish Empire also expressed its attitude. Because in the matter of the Persian Gulf and Iraq, the Ottoman Turkish Empire considered itself fooled. So they have long held a grudge against the Chinese Empire. This time, the Ottoman Turkish Empire, issued a statement expressing its support for the Persian kingdom. They claim that this undeclared act of the Kingdom of Afghanistan is shameful and undermines the stability of Western Asia. Demand that the Kingdom of Afghanistan immediately stop the war. Otherwise, the Ottoman Turkish Empire would have resorted to the necessary means to maintain peace.

However, the Kingdom of Afghanistan remained indifferent to the threat posed by the Ottoman Turkish Empire. The Ottoman Empire and the Kingdom of Afghanistan were separated by the Chinese Empire of Iraq. Even if they were able to transport supplies and send troops to the Persian kingdom through the southern region of the Caucasus. But will they dare to send troops? Once the Ottoman Turkish Empire sent troops into the war, would the Chinese Empire sit idly by? in Central Asia and India, as well as in the Persian Gulf. But they all have the Chinese Army. Therefore, the Ottoman Turkish Empire was at best a verbal threat.

Many European countries have also expressed their indignation at the undeclared war of the Kingdom of Afghanistan. Of course, this is nothing more than a moral support for the Persian kingdom. He wanted them to provide material or personnel support to the Persian kingdom. That's impossible. These European countries, almost all of them were victims of the last war, and they themselves are still licking the wounds of the war, where is the surplus material to support the Persian kingdom?

As for the world's largest power, the Chinese Empire and its hardcore allies, the Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of Belgium, were silent about the Arab-Polish War. But even fools can see that this is simply the Chinese Empire's acquiescence to the invasion of the Kingdom of Afghanistan against the Kingdom of Persia. Without the support of the Chinese Empire, how could the Kingdom of Afghanistan dare to challenge the Kingdom of Persia? After all, the Persian kingdom had more than three times the population and army of the Afghan kingdom. The Kingdom of Afghanistan challenged the Kingdom of Persia, and that was simply self-defeating.

International support and opposition did not have any impact on the Awaso War at all. The fighting between the Afghan and Persian armies continues. However, judging from the war situation, the shape is undoubtedly very beneficial to the Afghan Army. In the face of a surprise attack by the Afghan Army, the Persian Army suffered heavy losses under unguard. In just one week of the war, the Persian army lost 100,000 men. Of these, less than 10,000 were killed or wounded. Only more than 50,000 people were captured, and the rest were scattered in the battle. Then, they shamefully became deserters. The main force of the Persian Kingdom Army, which has just undergone a rearmament, has not even mastered the new weapons, and let them go to the battlefield, what is the difference between sending them to death? A week later, the Afghan Army's Northern Route Army had captured Kashmar and was marching along the northern part of the Kavir Salt Desert towards Tehran, and if it went by the way, it was expected that they would be able to reach Tehran in a month's time.

The attack of the Southern Route Army was also smooth, and the Persian Army was no match for them at all. The Southern Route Army drove along the Kukhrud Mountains into Kerman, and everywhere it went, the Persian army fled almost without encountering decent resistance.

In the face of the fierce attack of the Afghan army, the Persian army gathered troops to prepare for defense and intercept the offensive of the Afghan army. On the other hand, it is necessary to intensify the training of troops. In particular, the 300,000 main forces in the army did not go to the battlefield at all, and they have always stayed in the rear for training. The Afghan Army's offensive was used to stop the Afghan Army's offensive by just recruited cannon fodder units. King Nasser of Persia. Fourth. Both the Shah and the Persian armies pinned their hopes on these elite armies. As long as they can defeat the Afghan Army, they will be able to turn the tide of the war.

This plan was proposed by the officer corps sent by Germany to the Kingdom of Persia. They believe that the Persian Army is too inferior to the Afghan Army. After a year of training by the Chinese Army, the Afghan Army has greatly improved its combat effectiveness, and even if it cannot be compared with the world's first-class army, it will have no problem crushing the Persian Army. On the contrary, the Persian army has only just been equipped with new weapons, and many soldiers have not even been familiar with the performance of new weapons, so how can they go to the battlefield? Therefore, the German* officer corps proposed to use cannon fodder troops to delay the Afghan Army and create a zào opportunity for the elite army.

On July 7, 1857, a decisive battle was fought between the Northern Route Army of the Afghan Army and the elite units of the Persian Army at Dhamgan. And the outcome of this decisive battle is directly related to the outcome of this war.

For this reason, the Persian Army invested 250,000 troops in this decisive battle, which is more than twice the Northern Route Army of the Afghan Army. Moreover, these armies are all elite armies equipped with German-made weapons, and although they have not yet fully mastered the performance of these weapons, they have greatly improved compared to the beginning. At the very least, they learned how to shoot quickly, even if not very well. But the superiority in firepower has already been brought into play.

Faced with the main force of the Persian Army, the Northern Route Army of the Afghan Army obeyed the advice of the Imperial* officer corps and took a defensive position in the battle. At the same time, the two infantry corps of the Southern Route Army took a more fierce offensive. When the main force of the Persian army was used against the northern route army, the armies against the southern route army were all those that had just been recruited. Although there are quite a few of them, their combat effectiveness is extremely weak, and they cannot resist the attack of the Afghan Army's Southern Route Army at all.

The Afghan Army's Southern Route Army attacked northwest along the Kukhrud Mountains and attacked Tehran directly, and if the Persian Army did not find a way to send troops back to help, Tehran would not be able to hold out. This put the Persian Army in a dilemma.

In addition, when it was known in advance that the Persian Army was likely to have a decisive battle, the Afghan Army also made preparations. The armies of the remaining three independent brigades have already left for the battlefield and are marching on Damgan. In addition, there is the second batch of 100,000 troops reconstituted by the Afghan Army. These troops have also just been recruited, although they have the standard equipment of the Chinese army. But the combat effectiveness is not high. However, with their participation, at least the Afghan Army will not be completely inferior in terms of strength.

On 9 July, the Persian Army launched an offensive against the Afghan Army, and hundreds of thousands of men on both sides fought a large-scale decisive battle at Damgan. The Persian army attacked very fiercely, and they were very brave in order to defend the country. However, under the strong fortifications of the Afghan army and the superior firepower, the Persian army paid huge losses. Moreover, it has never been able to defeat the Afghan army entrenched in Dhamgan. (To be continued......)
