Chapter 1298: A Summit with Ghosts
In the eighth year of Gaia, April 26.
At the suggestion of Casillas, the Silver Hand initiated the summit of the Six Nations.
These six people, in addition to the war King William of Gangdor, King Casillas of Spain, King Henry of Gaul, King Caesar of Caesar and King Pushkin of Romanov, the rest are naturally Jack, King of Liberty.
This shows the transcendent position of the Dawson dynasty within the Silver Hand.
Jack and others had already learned about the enemy attack on Spain at the first time, so as soon as Casillas initiated a video conference, they responded quickly.
"Cassie, can you stand it, do you want to organize a help?"
As Casillas' big backer, as soon as Jack spoke, he was at the foot of the steps for Casillas.
That's the charm of Jack.
"A bit reluctantly. I was worried that if the Egyptian army broke through from Spain, it would affect the main battlefield. "Casillas is not a fool either, and he did not mention the withdrawal of troops as soon as he came up.
"It shouldn't be." It was Henry who spoke.
Because the Gaul Dynasty and the Spanish Dynasty were next to each other, the relationship between Henry and Casillas was very delicate. When Ouyang Shuo sailed to the Mediterranean Sea for the first time, Henry also took advantage of the east wind of Great Xia to join forces with Spain once, allowing the Gallic fleet to successfully break through and officially set foot in the Mediterranean.
At one time, in order to understand the predicament of the dynasty, Henry also thought about whether he could join forces to carve up Spain in Great Xia.
Fortunately, Henry was forbearant enough to not implement it after all.
"The Spanish army is known as a million, and I believe that the 500,000 Egyptian army, which is also a labor expedition, lacks logistics and supplies, and will definitely not be able to set off any storms."
Henry's words did not hesitate to elevate Spain, because he was afraid that Casillas would deceive and lead the enemy army into Gaul on the grounds that the enemy army was too strong.
It can only be said that Henry thinks a little too much.
Casillas is dead to save face, very Spaniard, but not so vicious, relatively speaking, Henry, a dog that does not bark, really hurts when he bites people.
"There are a lot of Spanish troops, but the territory is even vast, and troops must be sent to garrison everywhere, unlike some dynasties, which only guard one acre and three points of land." Casillas is not a loser.
When Henry heard this, his face was silent, but his hands were clenched into fists, and being surpassed by Casillas, a "nobody", was the biggest scar in Henry's heart, and he was still bleeding.
He has calculated all his life, and he is not as cheap as Casillas.
Seeing this, Jack stepped forward to relieve the siege and said: "Now is not the time to be rash, Spain was attacked, and the root is still in Da Xia, we must not be careless." ”
William nodded in agreement, "Let's discuss a solution, Great Xia is not easy to deal with." ”
William was very active in eliminating this hidden danger of the Germanic dynasty, because it was related to the future strategic security of the Gangdor dynasty.
If this battle is won, the Gangduo dynasty can basically sit back and relax, and for this reason, William did not hesitate to send nearly half of the Gangduo dynasty's army to the war.
That's a lot of courage.
After all, the future division of the Germanic dynasty will still be dominated by the Romanov dynasty, the Gallic dynasty and the Caesar dynasty, and the Gangduo dynasty will be difficult to take advantage of because it is across the sea from the European continent.
At this point, the inland dynasties of Europe were very tacit and would never allow the Gangduo dynasty to get involved.
Jack said, "On the South American side, Dawson will unite with the Brasilia dynasty to put pressure on the eastern frontier of the Indian Empire. Cassie, if necessary, you can transfer some of your troops from the Argentine region back to the mainland. ”
"This ......"
Casillas hesitated, which was not what he had envisioned.
"Don't worry. The Argentine region cannot be lost, and when necessary, the Dawson dynasty will personally send troops to defend the Argentine region for you. "Jack had to make a commitment.
"And according to the informant, the Indian Empire's power this time is just to purchase a batch of firearms eliminated by Great Xia, so there is no need to worry at all." That being said, Jack is still very envious of the arms trade in Great Xia.
Seeing that Jack said this, Casillas naturally got off the donkey down the slope, "Okay." I'm going to send 50,000 troops from Argentina back to our home country, but that's not enough. ”
"In addition to the mainland, the situation in the African territory is more tense, and I am worried that with only 100,000 troops, it will not be able to stop the attack of Great Xia. Once the Great Xia conquers Morocco, the consequences are unimaginable. ”
Casillas was clever enough to copy Fernando's analysis and use it as a bargaining chip. Because he suddenly discovered that this crisis, if handled well, may also be an opportunity.
The thought flashed through Casillas's mind.
Jack listened to Casillas's complaint and looked at Henry and Caesar, "Can you help defend the armies of Gaul and Caesar in Africa?" ”
In West Africa, it was the largest territory of the Spanish dynasty, followed by the Germanic dynasty, then the Caesar dynasty and the Gaul dynasty. As for the Gangduo Dynasty, as mentioned earlier, it returned with a feather.
Not to mention, the Romanov dynasty was too far away to set foot on the continent at all.
"Let's try our best!"
Henry and Caesar's faces were a little ugly, and they obviously didn't want to do such a thankless task.
Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Henry said with bad intentions: "Although in the African battlefield, I can't help much. But if there is a need in Spain itself, I can send a reinforcement force, as long as Spain takes care of the logistics. ”
"Thanks, no!"
Casillas was expressionless and directly refused.
Whether it was for the sake of face or for practical reasons, Casillas would never allow the Gallic army to set foot on Spanish soil.
Who knows what they are doing when they come.
"Speaking of logistics, there is one thing that the Gauls can help with." Casillas quickly found an opportunity to counterattack, and pretended to be light-hearted: "Given that Spain itself is mired in a big war, there is no energy to take care of the front. The logistical supply of the Spanish army on the expedition still needs the help of the Gaul Dynasty. ”
According to the agreement of the Allies, the armies of each country were to be solely responsible for their own food and forage.
For example, the grain and grass of the army of Gang Duo were transported by sea from the mainland to Gaul, and then the people of Gaul were responsible for transporting the grain and grass to the front.
Otherwise, the Gallic dynasty alone would not be able to support the logistics of the army.
The mere loading of grain and grass for the Gang Duo army and the Spanish army had already overwhelmed the Gallic dynasty, and in this regard, Henry never complained, and seemed to have a big picture.
At present, seeing that Casillas actually took the opportunity to "shamelessly" ask the Gallic Dynasty to solve the problem of food and grass for the Spanish army, Henry's face turned blue.
Casillas was calm and said lightly: "If the Gallic Dynasty can't do it, then I have to withdraw the army from the front line, and I can't let the army go hungry to fight." ”
“……”
The expressions of the others are just stagnant. After all, it was Casillas who said the most embarrassing way.
King Pushkin, the Romanov king, who had not spoken, said with a gloomy face: "Spain withdraws its troops, that is absolutely impossible, and if it is not done well, it will make the good situation go to waste." ”
According to the general direction, the Allied forces can be divided into the Western Route Army, the Southern Route Army and the Eastern Route Army.
The Western Route Army, the three-way alliance of Spain, Gaul and Gangdor, had a total strength of 750,000, including 250,000 Spanish troops, 300,000 Gallic troops, and 200,000 Gangduo troops.
The Southern Route Army, that is, Caesar's army, could only support an army of 400,000 because of the difficulty of transporting grain and grass due to the Alps.
Even so, in view of the fact that the return of Bactria to the Mediterranean seriously threatened the security of Caesar's homeland, Caesar was ready to withdraw part of his army from the front.
The Eastern Route Army, the Romanov Army, totaled 500,000 troops, and was also the one with the largest number of troops among the dynasties. Of course, if this battle is won, the Romanov dynasty will also be the most rewarded.
The total strength of the Allied forces amounted to 1.65 million men.
And their enemy, the Germanic dynasty, had a regular army of 1.5 million before the war, and after the war, they have been conscripting troops, and it is expected that the number of troops will grow rapidly.
The combat strength of the two sides can be described as evenly matched.
Under the premise that Spain does not withdraw its troops, the Allies will win this war of the century, and it is estimated that they will have to increase their troops on the battlefield in the future, in the words of William, "to be prepared for a war that will conquer the country." ”
If Spain withdraws the crucial 250,000 troops at this time, the forces of both sides will be reversed, and the Germanic dynasty will be fighting on its own soil, and it is really difficult to say who will fight whom at that time.
Therefore, Pushkin and others will never allow Spain to withdraw its troops.
"Then you say, what should I do?" Casillas suddenly became very calm, "Spain is surrounded by enemies on three sides, where can I still take care of the front line?" ”
