380 Old Guard
After the collapse of the Papal State, the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, with a try-and-see attitude and the instigation of the anti-Han allies, sent the only remaining elite of the country to fight a decisive battle on the border line in the name of the Great Patriotic War.
After the unsurprising defeat, the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies and the Three Kingdoms of Genoa, like the Three Kingdoms, signed a surrender armistice agreement and withdrew from the anti-Han alliance!
The three Genoan countries set an example for the rest of the Italian peninsula to avoid being poisoned by the Taiping army and gain some autonomy by capitulating their territory without being fully occupied and surrendered.
Since then, the countries of the Italian peninsula have either been occupied or surrendered and withdrawn from the anti-Han alliance, and only one of the former Third Route armies is still holding on, and Savoy is regarded as a barrier to France by Louis XIV, the Sun King of the Kingdom of France, where tens of thousands of French troops are deployed.
The 9th and 12th Divisions of the Heavenly King's Guards, after the rampaging of the Italian Peninsula, further declined in strength, and finally the 10th Heavenly King's Guards Division, which suffered more losses, was disbanded and filled into the 9th Heavenly King's Guards Division, which was equally lacking.
The two divisions became a division, which was the Taiping Army's contribution to the occupation of the Italian peninsula.
On the other hand, the eight divisions of the Heavenly King Guards in response to the other two routes have now lost four, but they are still struggling to support the offensive of the two anti-Han allied armies, and the countries of the Italian Peninsula that are anti-Han allied forces on the third route have surrendered after only consuming one division of the Heavenly King Guards, and it has to be said that the gap in combat effectiveness is not ordinary......
Of course, this also has a lot to do with the fact that the countries of the Italian Peninsula were not strong countries in this era, and the two anti-Han allies who invaded the German region were led by the French army and the Spanish Habsburgs, and there was much cooperation between the two sides and coordinated with each other to attack.
Originally, the allied forces of the Italian Peninsula could also get 'cooperation' and assistance, but unfortunately, they lost the decisive battle of Venice at the beginning, and at that time, the main forces of the other two anti-Han allied forces were also pinned down by the Taiping army, and there was not much support at all.
Coupled with the rapid and complete defeat of the coalition forces of the Italian peninsula, the total defeat was lost.
The Italian Peninsula was subdued by the Taiping Army, which was definitely a great loss for the anti-Han alliance, and a large number of military industrial bases and a large number of wealthy merchants in the Italian Peninsula became a water moon in the mirror.
Although many wealthy people in the Italian Peninsula had transferred their assets before the Taiping army entered, the fixed factories and other real estate could only be reduced to the spoils of the Taiping army.
The Italian Peninsula is a rich place, and after the Taiping army occupied most of the Italian Peninsula, they ate with a mouthful of oil!
The Swedish Senior Infantry Regiment also joined forces with the Han Liaison Army from Austria, Czechoslovakia, and Hungary into the Italian Peninsula and took over the garrison of the Ninth Heavenly King's Guards Division.
The Ninth Heavenly King's Guards Division was transferred to the Savoy border to guard against a sudden attack by tens of thousands of French troops and the troops of the Kingdom of Savoy.
In fact, for the Axis bloc, the benefits of Hong Tiancheng's victory over the Italian Peninsula are far more than what appears on the surface, even if the Italian Peninsula with weak combat effectiveness is lost, the overall strength of the anti-Han allies has only been weakened by a few points, and the overall size is still far greater than that of the Axis bloc.
Don't look at the territory controlled by the Axis bloc more than the anti-Han Allies themselves, but this is on the basis of not counting the colonies outside the European continent!
All the countries occupied by the Taiping Army, the overseas colonies did not recognize the puppet regimes supported by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, let alone the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom as their suzerain.
Almost all of the overseas colonies joined the anti-Han alliance and formed a rope against the Axis bloc, and by this time the European continent was already bleeding, and it was impossible for the anti-Han alliance countries to allow anyone on the European continent to remain neutral.
Even if you can't make people, you can pay for it.
In addition, most of the territories occupied by the Taiping army had experienced war, the productive forces had almost come to a standstill, bandits were rampant in the occupied areas, guerrillas were everywhere, the people's enthusiasm for work was generally not high, and prices were rising, so although the territory controlled by the Axis bloc was large, there was no time to integrate and restore the pre-war level.
Naturally, it is impossible to catch up with the anti-Han alliance that has been unified, and the anti-Han alliance will obviously not give the Axis bloc time to integrate, the war is gradually expanding, and more than a dozen cities in the German region have been beaten to ruins!
Both sides have already killed red eyes!
According to this rate of consumption, the first to fall must be the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the reason is very simple, Hong Tiancheng's foundation is too weak, and when all the Heavenly King Guards are gone, his regime will naturally be wiped out, and the large number of Han Association troops and security regiments in those places is simply unreliable.
Fortunately, the entry of the Italian Peninsula finally made Hong Tiancheng receive a long-lost reward prompt.
[Congratulations to the host for completely defeating the Third Route Army of the Anti-Han Alliance and expanding its sphere of influence to the Italian Peninsula.]
1. Gain 10,000 personal reputation points (10,000 personal reputation points are still short of reaching 50,000 personal reputation points, and the next permission level will be opened.) )
2. Gain 10 points of national prestige.
3. Get a chance to draw a 10,000-person legion. 】
After Hong Tiancheng received the reward, he immediately exchanged all 10 points of national prestige for the Heavenly King Guard, and now the front-line troops are very tense, both sides are desperately holding on to see who falls first, every city and region has to kill a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, Hong Tiancheng is extremely short of soldiers who can fight!
The five fully manned divisions of the Heavenly King's Guards marched out of the barracks with great dignity, receiving the people's fat and ointment looted by the local administrative organs loyal to Hong Tiancheng all the way, and marching to the front line.
However, when Hong Tiancheng used the lottery opportunity, his face suddenly became strange.
[Congratulations to the host for winning the 10,000 Old French Guards Advanced Edition, morale is constant for diehards, and weapons are distributed for Minny rifles.] 】
When Hong Tiancheng saw the scene of a group of French Old Guards 'advanced version' wearing the 'advanced version' of the French Old Guard in the Napoleonic period wearing tall bearskin hats with bright feathers in the Napoleonic period, wearing the uniform of the French army in the early 19th century, and holding the red, white and blue tricolor flag, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It's a pity that no one in this era has yet understood the meaning of this military uniform, and the French can't recognize their colleagues." ”
Sighing and sighing, this 10,000 die-hard corps is still a die-hard corps with a Mini rifle, which can be regarded as a help to Hong Tiancheng, and the combat effectiveness of the old guards is also famous in history!
Hong Tiancheng was very curious, what would be the expression of the French who attacked the fiercest when he saw the crowds of his countrymen stumbling against them on the battle line?
