Unlike war-torn Europe, the land of China at this moment is in a busy season. Millions of young people were conscripted into the army, which did not have much impact on the Chinese Empire, which had a population of more than 500 million, and the labor force was still very sufficient. In addition, although this war is rapidly depleting the wealth of social creation. However, the imperial army also gained a lot in this war. After the two offsets, the empire not only did not lose, but also made a lot of money.

Compared with the people of the Western world, who live in the heat of the water, the common people of the empire are undoubtedly much happier. Of course, for some families who have received death notices, they are also in mourning. Where there is war, there will be death. It is unrealistic to want to fight a war with zero casualties. This is especially true in such a world war.

The empire's industry, as a result of the transition to a wartime system, developed rapidly. In particular, industries related to the military industry, such as steel and shipbuilding, are developing rapidly. In terms of agriculture, after the empire obtained the grain-producing areas of the South Seas, almost every year the grain was a bumper harvest, and the excess grain could not be eaten. This made the empire's society very stable even during the war, unlike European countries, where the supply of various materials was tight and there was already social turmoil.

Emperor Long Yufei and important ministers of the government and military are all watching the direction of the battle. Long Yufei hopes that the war will end within this year. In this way, the empire's industry could be restored to its normal state. Maintaining a wartime system for a long time would damage the development of the empire's industry, and even make the empire's heavy industry excessive. Finally becomes deformed. He didn't want the empire to grow like the Soviet Union in later generations.

"Your Majesty, there's a telegram from the front. General Liu fought very well in the Kingdom of Spain. Although there is no big victory yet. But. A large-scale victory is just around the corner! Field Marshal Niu Meng said with a smile. After the Chief of the General Staff, General Sun Hao, and the Chief of Operations, Lieutenant General Liu Zhongming, went to the West Siberian Plain and Europe respectively to command the troops. Marshal Niu Meng had no choice but to come forward again to preside over the day-to-day operations of the General Staff. Fortunately, the various systems of the General Staff are already very perfect, and Marshal Niu Meng only needs to pay a little attention to it.

"Oh! That's good news! The Anglo-French army in the Iberian Peninsula could exceed two million. With so many troops, will they be able to eat it in a short period of time? Long Yufei was a little surprised. After all, that's more than two million troops, not more than two hundred pigs.

"Yes! 陛xià. At the moment our army has taken control of Figueras and Pamplona. The retreat of the Anglo-French forces to mainland France has been cut off by us. There are only two paths in front of them, either to fight to the death or to surrender to us when they run out of ammunition and food. Of course. They could also cross the mountains of the Pyrenees and flee back to France. However, it is not so easy to escape back through the rugged mountain road without sufficient logistical supplies. If you don't know, one or two out of ten people will be lucky if they manage to escape! We have won this battle! Marshal Niu Meng looked very excited. It was the biggest win ever!

"Haha! In this way, we have indeed won. In a single battle, more than two million enemy troops were wiped out, and they were all the most elite troops. After this battle. The French should have been crippled! Long Yufei said with a smile.

"Yes, Your Majesty! Although the French are still expanding their army like crazy, there are still two million people in their new barracks. But. After we ate 2.3 million people in one bite. The French Army and the British Army remaining in France combined had only a little more than 3 million men in total. Moreover, most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled. There are no combat-ready recruits, such an army. How can they resist the attack of the imperial army? The demise of France is already a matter of ironclad! Marshal Niu Meng said affirmatively.

"Hmmm! That couldn't be better. Send a telegram to General Liu Zhongming. Steady and steady, we must not let those British and French troops escape. Cooked ducks can't fly anymore. Long Yufei said. This is the first time that the Imperial Army has annihilated more than 2 million enemy troops in a single battle! Lieutenant General Liu Zhongming can be regarded as setting a precedent.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Marshal Niu Meng nodded.

"After eating more than two million Anglo-French troops, the Imperial Army can invade French territory and destroy France. Then, the army crossed the English Channel and destroyed the British. In this way, this war can be over! Long Yufei said longingly. Originally, he thought that it would take several years for this war to be decided, especially when the European battlefield was extremely unfavorable to the Eurasian military alliance. But now it seems that he is overestimating the European countries.

The encirclement of more than 2 million Anglo-French troops in the northern part of the Iberian Peninsula by the Sino-Spanish coalition caused a great shock internationally, especially in Europe. Everyone knows that this year's war is particularly important and will be the key to determining the outcome of this war. However, this year's war has just begun, and the North Atlantic Military Alliance has fallen a big way! After the elimination of more than two million elite troops, the North Atlantic military alliance in Western Europe is estimated to be unable to stop the Chinese Empire. Many pessimists believe that the North Atlantic military alliance has already lost.

This is good news for the Asia-Europe military alliance. As a result, the combat effectiveness of the armies of various countries has been improved. Almost all the countries of the Asia-Europe military alliance believe that the Asia-Europe military alliance has won this war.

The Kingdom of Prussia also began to adjust its plans for war. Originally, they hoped to hand over France and Britain in Western Europe to the Chinese Empire to deal with, and use the strength of these two countries to weaken the Chinese Empire. However, the French seem to be too unbeaten! In this case, France could not be allowed to fall into the hands of the Chinese Empire.

Count Moltke, deputy chief of the Prussian General Staff, offered to send an army into France at the right time to seize territory in northeastern France. Prevent all of France from falling into the hands of the Chinese Empire and its hardcore allies. This was built and approved by King Wilhelm I of Prussia. Obviously, the Prussians wanted to grab further territory!

Sanguisa, a small town just a few dozen kilometers from Pamplona, however, became the headquarters of the Anglo-French army. After a series of fierce battles, the Anglo-French forces in the northern part of the Iberian Peninsula had been severely oppressed, leaving only some areas in the southern foothills of the Pyrenees. The rest of the area has been recovered by the Chinese and Western coalition forces.

In addition, the remnants of the Anglo-French army were divided. For example, the hundreds of thousands led by Count Longdon on the Eastern Front found you and were surrounded in the area south of Figueres. And Balaj. The main force of the Anglo-French army, led by Count Delier, was surrounded in the vicinity of Sanguisa.

After a fierce battle, the Anglo-French army now has just over a million men left. The rest of them were either killed in battle, or they had already entered the prisoner of war camp of the Chinese and Western coalition forces. There are also a very small number of people, in order to survive, take the initiative to enter the Pyrenees, wanting to cross the Pyrenees and escape back to France.

It can be said that the current Anglo-French alliance has gone to the general trend. With no reinforcements, no supplies, and at the same time facing the encirclement and interception of the Chinese and Western coalition forces, what else can they do?

Beginning in early April 1855, the Imperial Army's 15th and 16th armies, as well as two Spanish infantry corps, launched an onslaught against the French on the Eastern Front. The 16th Army of the Imperial Army left only two infantry corps to defend the French army in the north, and the rest of the troops were all engaged in the attack on the French army.

In the face of the fierce attack of the Imperial Army, the resistance of the French army appeared vulnerable. Many French soldiers threw away their weapons without firing a single shot, raised their hands and surrendered to the Sino-Spanish coalition forces.

For them, surrendering to the Sino-Western coalition and picking up a life may be the best option. It was with this idea in mind that the prisoner of war camps of the Sino-Western coalition began to expand continuously.

On April 12, Count Longdon, commander of the Eastern Front of the French army, led the remnants of the French army to surrender to the Central and Western forces. Since then, the 800,000 people of the French army on the eastern front have been almost completely annihilated by the Chinese and Western coalition forces. Among them, more than 400,000 people were captured by the Chinese and Western coalition forces.

The surrender of the French army on the Eastern Front intensified the surrender of the Anglo-French forces. In the face of the fierce attack of the Chinese and Western coalition forces, Balaj. Count Dirière also knew for a long time that the Anglo-French army was completely finished. Although, as far away as Paris, the French Emperor Napoleon III and the Minister of War A.J. Saint-Arnault ordered him to lead his army to fight to the end, to buy time for France to prepare more troops and build a defense line in the Pyrenees.

However, Balaj. Count Dirière nevertheless ordered surrender. After all, with low morale and a lack of weapons, ammunition, food and medicine, the British and French forces were no longer able to stop the offensive of the Chinese and Western forces. Every attack by the Chinese and Western coalition forces was a massacre of the officers and soldiers of the British and French forces. If they continue to resist, the only result waiting for them is probably to be annihilated. For the lives of the majority, Balaj. The Comte de Dilier disobeyed the orders of the Parisian side.

Balaj. After Count Dirière ordered the surrender, the Battle of the Iberian Peninsula ended. In this battle, the Chinese and Western forces annihilated more than 2 million British and French forces. Among them, the number of officers and men of the British and French forces alone who were captured was about 1.2 million. In addition, some officers and soldiers of the British and French forces died in the mountains when they chose to cross the Pyrenees. (To be continued......)
